regarding the proposed off - street parking for new construction

Mr. Dake explained and showed to the Board the so- called
"Sanborn Maps ", which the City will soon have and which the
company keeps up to date with relation to plot plan for each
home and which is set up in blocks. Mr. Dake stated that Sanford
has what they call an up -to -date aerial map which is dated March
of 1937. Also, the land -use map which is a key map to be kept
up to date is now finished.
Mr. Dake reviewed for the Board some of the figures and
factors that have been computed and arrived at, and which will
be presented in their final report to the City. Some of them
are as follows:
a. 3,834 acres inside the City limits or 5.99 sq. miles.
b. 506 acres of this is unuseable - in Lake Monroe.
c. 506 acres in Lake Monroe will be shown as recreational.
d. 320 acres unuseable - part of Naval Air Station.
e. 805 acres of land is in streets & thoroughfares - platted.
f. 22.9% land area for streets & highways (rights -of -way).
g. 62 acres of commercial property or 1.7% of actual use of
the total City area for commercial purposes.
h. 451 acres are presently zoned for commercial purposes.
(4 times what the average use is).
i. 810 acres or 23% for single family is in actual use.
j. 1,300 acres of vacant area - minus Air Station.
k. 567 acres of parks and recreational areas - which is all
useable and this includes the 502 acres in Lake Monroe.
1. 60 acres in use now for recreation.
m. Sanford has a potentialality of a 33,000 population, which
it can handle in the existing corporate area.
n. 2,200 is the present population for Georgetown, with a
1,800 potential for Georgetown.
o. Sanford has 13 neighborhoods.
PO Based on potential population, the following is figured:
3.2 persons per home
4 houses per acre
(NOTE: 3 1/8 houses per acre, including streets, parks,
etc.) 13 people per acre.is used.
q. 150 acres in Georgetown.
r. Estimate for present colored race in Goldsboro - 49000.
s. Other pertinent information:
Sanford Average
Transportation 1.9% (now used) 12%
Streets & Thoroughfares 22.9 27.9
Commercial property in use 1.7 2.54
Single family area in use 23 36
It might be noted that in regards to transportation,
which caused quite a discussion, the 12% was an estimate only
by Mr. Dake and the Naval Air Station affected this figure
because it could not be figured as a municipal airport. Trans-
portation figure denotes acres and not miles and includes all
railroad property inside the City. If the Naval Air Station
were a municipal airport, it would then add 320 acres to trans-
portation figures.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
