The Chairman called the meeting to order.
The Chairman announced that the Board would review the
three public hearings as held on March 21, 1968 and those
minority reports submitted to the City Commission.
The first item of business was the review of the rezoning
request of William Gorman for that property on the east side
of Lake Avenue between 13th and 18th Streets from M -1 industrial
to R -3 and R -6 multiple family dwelling district for the proposed
construction of an apartment building (s) as a rent supplement
housing program for the low income minority group.
On the request of the Chairman for the showing of hands
from those persons present to offer objection relative to the
proposed rezoning on Lake Avenue for said housing, approximately
15 persons held up their hands.
Mr. Gorman reiterated previous statements relative to the
agreement with the Seminole County School Board for the exchange
of their property on Lake Avenue for that property originally
proposed on French Avenue being a heavily traveled state highway
and not recommended for rezoning for said use by the City; in
addition to the Lake Avenue site being accepted by FHA several
months ago. The Board pointed out to those objecting that under
an existing M -1 zoning the property could be used for purposes
of ready concrete mix plants and oil bulk plants. However, they
stated that they would prefer to take their chances on such an

operation rather than the housing project. The Board noted that
those present were the same people who appeared at the public
hearing meeting of March 21, 1968 and were those residents in
the area south of Junior High School and 18th Street.
Mr. Gorman stated that should the federal government or
lending agency reject the proposed packaged project, the City
would not be committed to uphold the multiple family rezoning
of this particular site. To several questions asked by those
objecting, Mr. Gorman reiterated that the housing development
would be owned and maintained by private industry; pay city
taxes and utilities.
Mrs. Boyd Gaines, 1802 Cedar Avenue, presented a petition
signed by thirty (30) residents in the vicinity of Cedar,.Lake,
Holly, Maple Avenues and 18th and 20th Streets, requesting that
the Zoning and Planning Commission deny the said rezoning request
on the basis that 1) their homes would be less desirable dwellings;
2) the particular type housing proposed would greatly reduce the
value of their property; 3) said project would be costly to the
taxpayers of Sanford because of increased services the city would
be compelled to provide; 4) property adjoining proposed apartment
is of high caliber and they would not want to lower these standards;
and 5) it is not feasible to construct rent- subsidy housing in the
heart of a progressive city.
After consideration, Mr. Harris moved that the request for
rezoning Lot 6, less the south 158 feet, A. V. French Property
from M -1 industrial to R -6 multiple family dwelling district for
proposed housing development on Lake Avenue be denied. Seconded
by Mr. Davis and carried.

Nk of NEk, Tier 18; Block 7, Tier 19; Block 7, Tier 20; Florida
Land and Colonization Co. Limited Map of St. Gertrude Addition
to the Town of Sanford; located between 5th and 6th Streets and
Pomegranite and Mangoustine Avenues from R -2 and R -5 one and two
family dwelling district to R -6, multiple family dwelling district
for proposed construction of rent subsidy housing development,
Mr. Karns moved to recommend to the City Commission that the
request be approved and the minority report of March 21, 1968 be
confirmed. Seconded by Mr. Davis and carried.
