Regular Meeting - 7:30 P. M.
February 11, 1960
City Commission Room, City Hall
Members present were: Messers. McKibbin, Karns, Johnson,
Harris, Lee, Morgan, and Talley. Also present were: Building
Official Yelvington, City Manager Knowles, Mr. Jerry Dake,
Resident Planner, and Mr. George Simons, Jr., City of Sanford's
Planning Consultant. Other interested parties present were: Mr.
Raymond Ball, local realtor, Mrs. Amy Anderson, representative
of Mr. Ball's office, and Mr. Joe Gazil.
Mr. Gazil, Mr. Ball, and Mrs. Peterson represented a re-
zoning request concerning the property on the N.W. corner of
Mellonville and Celery avenues; namely, Lots 14 thru 18, Block 3,
Eldorado. The 5 lots are presently zoned C -N, but due to the
fact that the interested parties wished to construct on this
property a Phillips "66" Service Station, Launderette, and Grocery
operation which would be open from 7 to 11. The service station
presented a problem due to the fact that its construction is not
allowed in a C -N area.
After discussing the area and situation, Mr. Morgan mevedw-
that:recommendation be made to the City Commission that Lots 14
thru 18, Block 3, Eldorado be rezoned from a C -N to that of C -1,
but with the stipulation that, until concrete evidence of con-
struction plans is shown to the City of Sanford the final action
of drawing the rezoning ordinance will be withheld. Motion seconded
by Mr. Karns and carried. This action was stipulated because of
the fact that this particular property, in the past, has bounced
back and forth on rezoning with no actual developments.
Mr. Garfield Walker appeared before the Board regarding the
off - street parking for a new addition to the north of his building
on Oak Avenue, south of 25tb Street. The new addition to house an
office of a CPA, a restaurant, with carry -out service, a plant
center, and possibly an appliance store. The plan showed a drive-
way through and between the first and second building, which would
enable the rear off - street parking plan to be used.
Moved by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Talley and carried that,
for the Walker Building at the above mentioned location there shall
be 13 off- street parking spaces on the front and 26 off - street
parking spaces in the rear for present and planned structures; con -
sistin of a total of 39 off - street parking spaces for a total of
three 3) off - street parking proposals presented on the Walker
Building.
Mr. Morgan requested that the motion be amended to include
the following with reference to the off - street parking plan for the
Walker Building:
a. All off - street parking spaces to be marked off.
b. The access drive to the rear to be not less than 12 ft.

Amendment to the motion approved by Mr. Johnson and Mr.
Talley and carried unanimously.
There being no further urgent business before the Board,
Chairman Mcgibbin asked Mr. George O imons, the City's Planning
Consultant to take over the meeting.
Mr. Simons told the Board members that he and Mr. Dake were
reviewing, during the day, the progress made on the planning
study for Sanford and the data which they could start presenting
to the members as completion of the study in Sanford itself was
drawing to a close.
He stated that the Capital Improvement Program would be dis-
cussed later with Mr. Phil Pitts; the revision of the Zoning
Ordinance was practically ready for reviewing; Ghe land use map
had been prepared in color, as well as black and white; and the
base map is completed.
At this time, Mr. Simons and Mr. Dake wished to present their
MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN (Street Plan; arterial and premiter) for
the Board'w consideration. Mr. Simon also mentioned that the plan
had been projected beyond the corporate city limits into the fringe
areas, plus the fact that the plan had been discussed with the
engineers of the State Road Department, Mr. Richey Green and Mr.
Boggs, and they had approved of it. In fact, the plan fitted in
very well with the State Road Department's own future and so- called
"desired" plans for roads in and around Sanford.
It was noted that in this street planning, consideration and
good planning had been projected for the new school site and the
Circusland site. Another projected feature which crud a lot
of comment was the plan of extending the lake front /on around to
the east to connect up with N. Cameron Avenue to make
a complete premiter road plan around the City of Sanford. The
rest of the meeting time was consumed in the discussion on the
Major Street Plan, with all members commenting that the outlined
plan was a commendable one.
The Board members set the dates of the 181h and 25b of
February 1960 in order to meet with the planning consultants for
any further data they may wish to present for the Board's con-
sideration.
Also, the Board felt that the County School Board and the
County Zoning and Planning Commission should be invited to attend
one of these coming meetings in order that they might become ac-
quainted with the City's Major Thoroughfare Plan due to the school
site, Circusland, and etc. being outside the corporate city limits.
The City Manager was, therefore, instructed to invite the two afore-
mentioned boards to one of the following meetings of the City
Zoning and Planning Commission.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
