Members present were: Messers. McKibbia, Faville,
Karns, Harris, Kirtley, Johnson, and Morgan.
Also present were: City Manager Knowles, Building
Official Yelvington and Mr. Philip Pitts, Representative of
Mr. George Simons, 6ity Planner for Sanford.
Meeting was called to order by Chairman. McKibbin.
Minutes of the March 19, 1959 meeting were read
and approved.
Minutes of the April 2 1959 meeting were read
and approved.
The request to rezone Lot 10 and the W. 12 of
Lot 11, Block 5, Wynnewood Sub - division; address being:
1301 Wynnewood Drive, from that of an R1 -B area to an R -1
was next officially discussed.
Mrs. Marcia Lippincott submitted the request along
with a signed petition from abutting property owners that they
had no objection to the rezoning in order that Mrs. Lippincott
might purchase the property and operate a kindergarden and
nursery.
However, the consensus of opinion by the board still
held in that the Wynnewood Sub - division is one of the better
residential areas and at the present time there is no indication
toward a trend to lower the zoning requirements, which in turn
would then allow others to have a 25% home occupation in this
area.
Based on unanimous feeling, Mr. Faville moved that
the rezoning request be denied. Motion second by Mr. Johnson
and carried.
There being no further urgent business at hand, City
Manager Knowles then introduced Mr. Phil Pitts, representative
of Mr. George Simons' office, to each member of the board.
Mr. Pitts then outlined briefly the survey steps and
the results of this survey when completed. They are as follows:
1. Economic basis and population trends.
(this will show where Sanford fits)
2. Prepare land use study.
(this land use map should be ready in
approximately 6 weeks)

3. Arterial street plan.
(this will involve major streets
as to their trend and growth)
4. Proposal of certain neighborhood plan.
(this undertakes residential groupings
with evaluation of each neighborhood
as to its adequacy; does it have
sufficient parks, playgrounds,
elementary schools, etc.)
5. Develop an area treatment plan.
(involves conversation of the area;
residential protection for some
areas as they are from enroachment
of commercial and industrial develop-
ments; rehabilitation of areas; sub-
standard housing to be noted with
proposal of moving or renovating.)
6. Redevelopment areas.
(involves the slum areas; what can
be done to up -grade them or just
abolish them and convert the area
into a commercial area.)
?. Community facilities plan.
(this concerns the phase of adequacy
of faciliti66_in regards to library,
civic center building, etc.)
Other than the main confronting problem of the dire
need of an overall revision of the Zoning Ordinance, the other
problems that the board wished the Planner to pay particular
attention to are:
(a) Off- street parking; - dealing with the
downtown area especially. Is it the
responsibility of the City to provide
these off - street parking lots? If so,
how far away?
(b) Deterioration of the older residences;
where they might be going into multiple
family use.
(c) Consideration of the lake front; setting
up the proper utilization of the water
and not to be used for just scenic purposes
only.

A general discussion was also held around the Planner's
procedure in compiling the land use map as to how they ascertain
more than one family use in a dwelling; if feasible, as to the
suggestions, help, and meetings with the various civic groups;
number of meetings the board will have with the planner and the
help they might render; and finally the everyday problems in-
volved as to corner lots, etc., that would come under the re-
vision of the Zoning Ordinance.
From Mr. Pitts conversation it suggested that the
revision of the Zoning Ordinance came in the very last stage
or phase of the planning. Also, that nothing concrete could
be started until the land use map was finished.
There being no- further business, Mr. Morgan moved
for adjournment. Motion seconded by Mr. Harris and carried.
