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. Z & P Minutes April 6 1961 The Board embers were in agreement that their future meet- ings be held at 8:00 P. M. instead of 7:30. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. airman
