The Board considered the off-street parking plan for

occupied by the new Whataburger business. The plan showed
seven parking spaces for persons who would go inside for service,

A written application was next presented by Mrs. George
(Ada E.) E. Sires of 2631 South Franch Avenue to operate a
children's day nursery in her home whereby under the zoning
ordinance in an.R- lA..this can be a permitted conditional use
after review of the application by the Zoning and Planning
.Board and recommended to the City Commission.
Mrs. Sires stated that the hours would be the same as
a working mother's day; children would be pre - school with hopes
that the mothers would bring them and pick them up. She also
stated that her back yard was already fenced -in and that her
neighbors on each side have no objection to this operation.
The Board felt that the City Attorney's opinion should
be obtained before the recommendation of a nursery school in
the R -1A area as to:
a) Limiting the number of children taken
b) Is the use granted to her or to the property
- (can it be handed down to the next owner)
c) Does this open it up to the.others in the
neighborhood (other than by precedent).

It was moved by Mr. Rams, seconded by Mr. Wharton
and carried that the above opinion be obtained from the
City Attorney and action deferred until the next meeting.
Mr. Harry Licht of Miami and owner of the property
on the east side of - Sanford Avenue south of 25th Street, which
is known as Praver Homes and /or Woodmere Park Replat, appeared
before the Board with a request to use the remainder of the
vacant property for a very modern trailer park.
He stated that he was particularly thinking of Navy
families using the facility who were not permanent and only
stationed in Sanford for approximately two years; and who do
not wish to own a home. There are approximately 140 vacant
lots left in the subdivision whereby they would not be re-
platted and one trailer would be put on each lot.
Mr. Licht further commented that a swimming pool for
the people in the area was proposed; of the area would
be homes and the other half would be mobile homes -(the same
type of operation he has in Christmas, Florida); they planned
to finance the development with their own money whereby the
terms would be -$20 down and $20/month-on a lease or sale of
the lot. In reference to a conveyance, he stated that it
could be made up to fit the area and no structures would be
allowed to the trailers unless they obtained a city permit
and it would be nothing on a temporary basis.
Mr. Licht was informed by the Board that under City
Ordinance No. 645 trailer parks were not allowed inside the
city limits.
Mr. Davis recommended that the members give the matter
some conscientious thinking before undertaking any recommendations
to amend the present city ordinance regarding trailer parks.
Mr. Harris recommended that the Board visit the area.
Moved by Mr. Bush, seconded by Mr. Wharton and carried
to table the discussion until the mext meeting.
Due to the resignation , of Mr. Art Harris as liaison
member on the Board of Adjustments, the appointment of anew
member was tabled until the next meeting.

On the proposed annexation to the City,of the Be.11emead
property on the SE corner of the intersection of 27th Street
and Orlando Drive (17 -92) for a Pinecrest Shopping Center to
house the new A & P store, it was moved by Mr. Wharton, seconded
by Mr. Rams and carried that the property be zoned C -1 when
officially annexed to the City.
It was brought to the Boards attention that the.old
Ne -Hi Bottling Plant site on Celery Avenue was to be occupied
by.a moving and storage business under the granting of a
variance (variance granted by Board of Adjustment on recom-
mendation of the-City Commission).
The Board had a lengthy discussion regarding the possible
amending of the Zoning Ordinance under the C -2 zones to allow
this as an added permitted use whereby it was interpreted to
be allowed only in the M -1 zones..
Due to no urgent trend in the C -2 areas at this time
for warehouse and storage operations, Mr. Karns moved that no
recommendation be made at this time. Motion seconded by Mr.
Wharton and carried with Mr. Davis disqualifying himself on
the voting.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
