The Chairman called the meeting to order.
At the meetings of July 6 and July 20, 1967, the Board had
reviewed the present ordinance prohibiting the establishment of
trailer parks within the city limits on the basis of a request
of an interested person wishing to establish a top -notch
trailer park in the area of 25th Street, west of Hardy Avenue,
with the Board discussing the feasibility of allowing these
parks to be established under rigid regulations.
The City Manager then gave a report that an engineering
study of the proposed property for a trailer park had now been
completed by the interested party and it was found that the area
was not adequate, and that the person was not objectionable to
rigid regulations as discussed by the Board. It was pointed
out that statistics show that in the next 4 to 5 years the
mobile home manufacturing is on the incline with a figure of
15,000 trailers shipped into Florida in 1966 and 2,532 trailer
parks licensed by the Florida State Board of Health. Mr. Karns
Zoning and Planning Minutes -2- August 3, 1967
felt that a study should be continued on the feasibility of
permitting top -notch trailer parks and that a man as a non-
conforming use should be allowed to expand and improve his
investment rather than stagnate it. Mr. Harris injected
that rather than a mobile home park it would be better to
have a mobile home subdivision with regulations thereof.
Mr. Logan inquired of the possibilities of assessing stationary
mobile homes with a real estate tax vs the present law of
requiring and paying only a motor vehicle tag fee. Action
was deferred on the request with a recommendation that more
information on trailer parks and their operation be obtained
for further discussion.
Under prior discussion at the meeting of July 20, 1967,
relative to a proposed ordinance for the control of service
stations, the members proceeded to review an ordinance for
same as adopted by the City of Ormond Beach. Mr. Logan stated
that he did not believe that one could regulate types of
business out of business. It was felt by some members that the
City of Sanford was possibly six years too late since the
majority of corners in the City of Sanford, inside the city
limits, are now taken up by service stations.
Mr. Daniels questioned those properties already purchased
with speculation purposes for the construction of service
stations.
After lengthy discussion, Mr. Harris moved that the Board
proceed to draw up regulations using the Ormond Beach ordinance
as a basis for the construction and control of gasoline service
stations and that such guidelines be forwarded to the City
Commission as a recommendation for their consideration for the
adoption of such an ordinance. Seconded by Mr. Karns and carried.
There be ns further business, the meeting adjourned.
