The Chairman called the meeting to order.
The first item of business was the holding of a Public
Hearing for the rezoning of that property described as Lots
1 and 2, 5, 6 and 7, Block 8, Chapman & Tucker Addition to
Sanford, from that of an R -2, one and two family residential
district to that of C -2, general commercial. Said lots
situated within that block on the west side of Cypress
Avenue between Sanford and Cypress and between 3rd and 4th
Streets; and east of N -S alley between Sanford and Cypress
Avenues.
The Chairman announced that said public hearing was legally
advertised in the Sanford Herald on December 19, 1967, in addition
to twenty -two persons living within 300 feet of the property
under hearing having been given an individual notice of same
through the mail.
Appearing in behalf of Joseph Gazil, owner of the property,
was Stanley Brumley, Comptroller for Mr. Gazil's enterprises in
Sanford, stating that the owner contemplated the demolition of
the present Tip -Top grocery store structure now situated on the
corner of Sanford Avenue and 4th Street and replacement thereof
with a new, modern supermarket with off - street parking. Mr.
Brumley presented plans of the proposed construction of a Park
& Shop Store of 278 x 150 square feet on the rear of the property

at 4th and Cypress, fronting on Sanford Avenue, and a provision
for off - street parking of 100 cars on a paved parking lot on the
front of the store with entrance from Sanford Avenue. He further
stated that the required 20 foot rear yard setback would be used
by trucks for loading and unloading on the premises and they
proposed to pave the alley right -of -way.
In outlining the plans to a finer point, Mr. Brumley stated
that approximately 30 feet would be retained in the front of the
store to the alley right -of -way with 150 to 175 feet retained
between the alley and Sanford Avenue for the parking lot.
In reference to a protective or aesthetic measure for those
persons residing on the ease side of Cypress Avenue, Mr. Brumley
verified that Mr. Gazil would be agreeable to erecting a fence
on the rear of the property if the City so designated such a
requirement.
The Board reviewed the zoning map to find that the west
one -half of the block was abutting commercial zoning and that
this would be an extension of the C -2, general commercial zoning.
The Chairman read a letter from Jennie McPherson, 400 South
Pine Avenue, residing one block east of the proposed store site,
wherein she stated that she had no objection to the rezoning to
that of commercial.
Five persons from the immediate area under discussion
appeared before the Board with Laura Frazier, 415 E. 4th Street,
residing across the street from the proposed store on the south
side of 4th Street, acting as spokesman. Upon clarification
by the Board Members of her two pertinent questions relative
to the effect of the rezoning on their residential property,
she stated that the group was not objecting and were already
familiar and accustomed to the present commercial operation on
the site.
After consideration, Mr. Harris moved to recommend to the
City Commission that Lots 1 and 2, 5, 6 and 7 of Block 8,
Chapman & Tucker Addition, be rezoned from R -5, One and Two
Family Dwelling District to that of C -2, General Commercial.
Seconded by Mr. Daniels and carried.
A report was next given to the Board by the City Manager
relative to the current status of the City's Workable Program.
He outlined the recent trip to the Office of Housing & Urban
Z & P Minutes

delivered and discussed with the officials of the department;
