The meeting was held to hear a presentation by Gerald L.
Dake, Associate, Adley Associates, Inc., Jacksonville, Florida,
with home office in Atlanta, Georgia, regarding a proposal of
up- dating the City's comprehensive plan for a cost of approxi-
mately $8,000 to $10,000.00; requiring from 8 to 12 months
to complete this work. He pointed out that before any
consideration will be given to granting of federal aid funds,
a city's workable program must be current.
In bringing the city's present plan up to date, he out-
lined the following phases:

S. Survey of the characteristics of the circulation
system.
6. Analysis of the factors influencing both the
direction and rate of growth.
7. Examination of the organizational framework
established for planning.
II COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN REVIEW AND MODIFICATION
1. Relate new economic population projections to
future land use requirements.
2. Expand the existing land use plan into a more
comprehensive "Development Plan" reflecting the
findings of the survey and analysis.
III NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
Determine treatment needed by all blighted areas.
A detailed evaluation and survey of all city neighborhoods
and establishes positive programs to guide efforts
directed towards: -code enforcement, housing code,
condemnation, rehabilitation, neighborhood organization,
and possible urban renewal.
The Workable Program requires that a neighborhood
analysis be prepared as a completely separate element
from that of the Comprehensive Plan. Reason: Such
a separation is that the comprehensive plan is required
to guide development of the total community, while the
neighborhood analysis is used as a guide to plan and
schedule improvements within each neighborhood.
IV CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT RECONNAISSANCE
1. Determine the long -range functional position of
the Central Business District.
2. Examine and make an analysis of the existing
physical conditions.
3. Outline the general approach for a comprehensive
action program to guide the merchants, property
owners, and the city.
V PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
1. Review and update the zoning ordinance and map.
2. Review and update the subdivision regulations
and enforcement practices.
3. Update the Capital Improvement Program to include
new proposals and relate to a fiscal analysis of
the city and its ability to pay for needed improvements.
4. Establish a formal planning organization which relates
effectively and closely to the activities of the
county and its region.

5. Create an active local program to continuing planning
effort and updating procedures.
6. Preparation of Workable Program.
Mr. Dake listed several phases of approach for a city to
employ a planner such as a) setting up a contract on a 2 -year
basis by using him totally during the two years or b) engage him
do a retainer or some type of agreement where he could attend
all meetings of the Zoning and Planning Commission and calling
on him for help and guidance in planning.
On a continuing basis of a planner, the cost would be in
the neighborhood of $1,500 /year and it would involve his
assistance at each board meeting, plus a little bit additional
preparation on small items. Arrangements could be made for a
continued agreement and then add some contracts to do other items
like working up a contract price for each of these items separately.
He explained that in Mt. Dora their company has provided
the tools, pointed out the business potential and the justification
to revitalize their downtown under a program which they call a
« catalyst' operation.
Mr. Dake stated that funds are still available under the federal
701 programs, which the City of Sanford previously used, but
that now this program pays 2/3 of the cost whereby in the past
this program paid 50% total cost; and that he knew of
• city that had received 701 funds for a second time.
federal
A discussion was held regarding /funds now available under
• new program called HUD and projects applicable thereto.
The Board adjourned the meeting and told Mr. Dake they
would give further consideration to his proposal.
