The first item of business was the holding of a public
hearing for the rezoning from that district of C -1, Neighborhood
Commercial to that of M -1, Light Industry, of that property
described in metes and bounds, consisting of 10 acres ( +),
located between 20th and 25th Streets between Hardy Avenue
and Old Lake Mary Road, west of Hardy Avenue between the "old"
railroad right -of -way line and the railroad right -of -way "main"
line. Public Hearing notice having been published in the Sanford
Herald newspaper on October 18, 1967.
The application request for rezoning was submitted by David
L. Smith, Jr., Commercial Agent for the Seaboard Coast Line
Railroad Company. The railroad being the present owner of the
property.
Appearing in behalf of the request was Mr. Rosser Elkins,
representing Rinker Materials Corporation as construction engineer
for the corporation. He stated that Rinker was in the process of
purchasing the property for the operation of a redi -mix concrete
operation and masonry supplies when it was discovered that the
zoning was that of C -1 and that the area abutting to the west
was zoned M -1 for industry.
Mr. Elkins showed the Commission the plans outlining the
office, warehousing, steel fabricating yard on the rear, and
stated that the building material yards are paved; that continuous
Z & P Minutes -2- October 19, 1967
washing and cleaning down of the yards keeps the dust down; that
they operate with use of "dust collectors "; the construction and
operation of the plant on the 10.66 acres will be closer to the
25th Street side of the area; raw material would be brought in
by rail; they have bottom gondola dump and do not use shakers;
and 25th Street would be their traffic artery into the site.
He further related that out of 35 plants, some operations in
other cities are in the heart of the downtown and dust control
is an important factor in their operation. Mr. Elkins stated
that the Sanford Industrial Commission had been working with
his company many months and had endorsed their operation on
this site.
The Chairman stated that property owners within 300 feet
of the proposed site location had been notified regarding the
hearing and the intended use thereon. No one to voice
objection to the rezoning request and /or the operation. The
Chairman also announced that property owner Solon Teston,
residence, to the south had registered no objection when
personally approached in addition to property owner to the west,
Jeno F. Paulucci, with an electronics operation thereon, regis-
tering no objection.
Under discussion, the Board pointed out that the proposed
location site was contiguous to an M -1, light industrial, area
to the west and this would be a matter of extending the M -1
zoning.
After presentation of the facts and due consideration given,
Mr. Harris moved that it be recommended to the City Commission
that the property as outlined above and legally described as
follows:
Beg at a pt 1856.24 ft E and 30 ft N of the SW corner

Z & P Minutes -3- October 19, 1967
-------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - --
Wherein the Florida State University has been operating an Urban
Research Center for several Years, Dr. Huey B. Long, Director, ad-
dressed the Board and summarized activities of the Center and explained
a new Urban Exploration Program or Community Type Service Programs
and requested assistance in promoting the proposed Leadership and
Planning Seminars to be held in Sanford on the weekend of December 8
and 9, 1967.
Upon conclusion of the presentation, Mr. Harris moved that the
Zoning and Planning Commission endorse the Seminar and requested
that the City Manager make up a recommended list of approximately
60 names of those persons who would represent the leadership of
Sanford and who would be interested in participation and attendance.
Seconded by Mr. Karns and carried.
The Chairman pointed out to Mk. Jack Goodin, County Planner,
that attention should be given to the fact of increasing air pollution
particularly from the gas fumes.of automobiles. Mr. Goodin explained
that the problem is more than just on a local level and is becoming
more of a state or national problem and control for same would prob-
ably have come from that level.
Mr. Goodin informed the Board that he has completed the rough
draft of the Workable Program and that in approximately two weeks
the final form should be ready for submission to the Department of
Housing and Urban Development in Atlanta, Georgia, for review for
re- certification of same.
The Chairman announced that if the Commission was receptive
to filling the present vacancy on the board by appointing a female
member, the name of Shirley Schilke has been recommended. No
official action was taken.
It was also discussed that to coordinate thoughts and suggestions,
it might be well to recommend that a member from each civic organization
attend the Zoning and Planning Commission Meetings. No official action
was taken.
After discussion and on motion of Mr. Logan, seconded by Mr.
Harris and carried, it was requested that the name of John Y. Mercer
be forwarded to the City Commission with a recommendation that he be
considered and officially appointed as a member of the Zoning and
Planning Commission to fill the vacancy created by the resignation
of Mason H. Wharton.

inserted in the record and kept for further consideration as

George Touhy
Gordon T. Meyer
B. C. "Cal" Conklin

A discussion was next held regarding the City's proposed
plans for the Neighborhood Community Facilities- Recreational
Building for a location in the Goldsboro area and the funds
committed for same in the amount of $100,000. It was pointed
out that at a recent civic organization meeting, Dr. George
Starke, member of the Bi- Racial Committee, had indicated a need
for all minority groups regarding community improvements in such
projects as paved streets, sidewalks, street lighting, and sewers
due to concern of health, safety, welfare and morals. After due
consideration, Mr. Logan moved that the following recommendation
be forwarded to the City Commission:
That the Zoning and Planning Board is in favor of following
the outlines as given by Dr. Starke in that the money and /or
appropriation be spent in community improvement rather than on a
Community Center; and further that the City Commission consider
they have met their commitment by using this money for such
purposes of Community welfare and the City Commission then proceed
to make every effort to go ahead and obtain federal funds using
a percentage of this money as a contribution toward one program
of the Code Enforcement for the minority group which would assist
in home improvements and thereby bring these homes to standard
code requirements. Seconded by Mr. Harris and carried unanimously.
There being no further business at hand, the meeting adjourned.
