ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION
Regular Meeting
April 6, 1961
Members present were: Messers. Mcgibbin, Bush, Harris,
girtley, and Johnson. Also present were City Manager Knowles
and Building Official Yelvington.
Chairman Mcgibbin called the meeting to order.
Reading of the previous minutes was waived.
Mr. Phillip Boyd, laving at 2501 S. Elm Avenue and
operating a beauty shop at the same location, appeared before
the Board and requested that his property be rezoned from R -1
to C N (commercial). Legal being: Lot 1, Block 3, Dreamwold
2nd. Section or the SE corner of 251 Street and Elm Avenue.
Mr. Boyd also presented a signed petition.
Mr. Boyd stated that in purchasing the property, he wished
to operate the beauty shop on a full scale with outside and
full -time operators, advertisments, and would, if rezoned,
attempt to provide off - street pprki&&- to the east of his pro-
perty and, therefore, not be limited to a "home occupation"
operation; wherein he had been recently advised by the
Building Official that no outside operators could be employed
or any signs or advertisements could be displayed on the pro-
perty, which had been done prior to the request for rezoning.
From prior city contacts with Mr. Boyd, it was felt that
there could have developed a personal misunderstanding between
Mr. Boyd and the real estate personnel during the purchasing
of the property as to the commercial use of the property and
procedure entailed of rezoning.
After a lengthy discussion, and based on various factors
of the new Comprehensive City Plan and the fact that the area
did not warrant a rezoning at the present time, it was moved
by Mr. girtley, seconded by Mr. Harris and carried that the
request be,denied.
Those in favor of denial: Harris, Johnson, Bush and
girtley. This being the majority, the motion for denial carried.
In relation to the above incident, it was moved by Mr.
girtley, seconded by Mr. Harris and carried, that the local
real estate offices be notified to request their real estate
clients to check with the Building Official if they have any
questions or doubts as to the zoning and usage of the property
before any commitments are made on the purchase of the pro-
perty by them.
Z & P Meeting
April b, 1961
The Board felt that they should not be placed in the
position of obligation to the owner after he has invested
monies for improvements on the property and which, in their
opinion, could have originated between the purchaser and the
real estate personnel.
The Building official presented an off- street parking
proposal for a funeral home at 917 W. 13 Street; to be owned
by John A. Hall. Legal being: Lots 12, 13, and 14, Block G.
A. J. Chappel Subdivision. The owner explained to the Hoard
that this would be a "lay -out" room only and there would be
no chapel or services. The plan showed 14 off - street parking
spaces.
Due to the type of service anticipated and with non-
sufficient manuvering area for 14 spaces, it was moved by
Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Harris and carried that eight (8)
off- street parking spaces would be accepted.
It was moved by Mr. Kirtley, seconded by Mr. Harris and
carried that the Building Official and City Engineer Knowles
we#:l.d review the Subdivision Regulations and make their re-
coMIRendations or present any amendments at the next regular
meeting.
After discussion and consideration to the Board's present
policy of the signing of a petition by adjacent property owners
regarding their objection to rezoning of property, it was moved
by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Johnson and carried that'the
following recommendation be made to the City Commission for
action and adoptions
The charging of a $10 non - refundable fee to cover
the expense of the City sending a registered
letter and /or form, and pertinent literature to
the property owners, with return receipt requested,
whose property would be an integral part or affected
by the rezoning.
It was felt that in this way it would relieve all
embarrassment and hard feelings between any and all property
owners involved in the rezoning.
After considerable discussion, it was moved by Mr. Harris,
seconded by Mr. Bush and carried that it be recommended to the
City Commission that due to the fact that the clock at the
intersection of First Street and Park Avenue, in the City of
Sanford, being a traffic hazard; and further, that there has
been a permit issued for an accurate time and temperature chart
to be erected on the Sanford Atlantic Bank Building, the clock
in the middle of the street be moved from the intersection.
