Reference is made to the meeting of July 6, 1967, wherein Jack Goodin, County Planner and employed by the City to prepare a workable program for recertification and the updating of the comprehensive city plan, appeared before the Board and presented his Planning Program for the City. Under the Preliminary Program, Phase One, Mr. Goodin appeared to make his presentation regarding review of activities of the Seminole County Planning Commission or local planning made up of city and county with co- ordinated efforts in certain fields. He referred to items and /or programs that the City presently has underway which are to be studied regarding support from federal funding as follows: 1) Naval Air Station closure with an EDA feasibility study application for use as an airport. 2) Redevelopment of the Downtown Business District. T F � k 'k Ld �aJ 3) Redevelopment of Sub - standard Housing Areas (Code Enforcement Program). He explained the agency referred to as HUD, Department of Housing and Urban Development, who approved your project under federal funding; the fact that too many cities are applying for the money allotted and this is where the requirement of the Workable Program comes into being. A City's Workable Program Z & P Minutes -2- August 24, 1967 is evaluated and if they can show through this program that there is a need then HUD will cooperate. He stated that while the various agencies under Phase One, are making their presentations through showing of charts, maps and etc. the work on the Workable Program will be carried on. These charts and maps will show that planning is a good sound application to the running of local government as well as a business. He outlined his presentation as follows with charts and maps. 1) Population projection in the metropolitan area as related to Seminole County alone. Growth means opportunity; there is also responsibility; demand for roads, schools, utilities, and maintaining such. Projecting for the next 20 - 25 years. 2) Soil characteristics; showing areas where the soil is not appropriate. 3) Urban Development (growth for Sanford is indicated towards Lake Mary. a) Density b) Water quality c) Land use d) Planning for urban development; where are you going to put 300,000 people. e) Planning for thoroughfare development; roads - where will they go; a system of roads relative to a long period of time is much more money saving. f) Planning for industrial and commercial development - don't put all industry into one area; distribute it evenly, otherwise this will involve traffic problems; must have industry and commercial to bring in the taxes; residential areas (homes) do not pay for the services that are needed. 4) Planning for Agriculture a) Greenway development; recreation; parks; planned throughout, not just a long strip down 17 -92 from Sanford to Orlando. Z & P Minutes -3- August 24, 1967 5) Transportation - Roads Arterial roads interconnecting; not just going to one place and then dead - ending; need alternate routes which generate more traffic and less congested traffic on certain roads., Examples: From I -4 at Lake Mary - come across 17 -92 to Sanford Avenue. Extension of Grapeville Avenue to Seminole Jr. College. Extension of 25th Street west to I -V. Extension of Sanford Avenue with the Lake Jessup Causeway. Upon conclusion of Mr. Goodin's presentation, the members then discussed the much desired program of Code Enforcement. It was moved by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Logan and carried that the Zoning and Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission proceed along the outlines that was given to the City by Mr. Raymond Duncan, HUD, Atlanta office, last spring to get our Workable Program approved and at the same time send the City Manager, Building Official and if possible, Mr. Goodin, to Atlanta; and then while that program is being worked on in Atlanta, the City to proceed with'our Neighborhood Study (Analysis) to prepare for the Code Enforcement Program. The members felt that with this recommendation there was a possibility that a longer time span could be eliminated and the much needed Code Enforcement Program could be expedited under federal funding. Referring to the proposed ordinance for the control of gasoline service stations as discussed on August 3, 1967 and guidelines worked up to be forwarded to the City Commission, Mr. Logan moved that the minutes reflect reference to the following contested cases and upheld by the courts regarding such a law: Gas Station - 750 foot spacing - Florida Food Fair Stores v.
