Mr. Singeisen asked for approval of the November 14 workshop and regular meeting minutes. Ms. Gibbs noted that on page 2 of the November 14 minutes, Mr. Perry Barrett presented the case for 1112 Magnolia Ave. Ms. Valente moved to approve. Ms. Kelly seconded. Motion carried 6 -0. (Mr. Goodman not present for this motion). Residential District Item 4a — 422 Palmetto Ave., Jim Bradshaw presented the Board with an application to demolish the house at this location and construct a volleyball court. Research proves house to be one of the oldest structures in the City. The board commented on the letter provided by McKee Construction regarding recommendation of demolition and questioned if any contractors specializing in historical reconstruction had looked at the property. The board also asked if the church would be willing to sell the property to an individual or group who might be interested in preservation in lieu of demolition since Mr. Bradshaw mentioned cost of repairs to the structure exceeded the ability of congregation in both manpower and budget. Mr. Bradshaw requested the board table his request until March 2003 to allow him to convey the questions from the HPB board to his church board members. Ms. Kelly motioned to table the application to the March 2003 meeting. Ms. Gibbs seconded. Motion carried 6 -0. (Mr. Goodman not present for this motion) Item 4b — 1401 Magnolia Ave., Rami Yosefian of Wilson Rd., Sanford, applied to the board to add a water fountain to the front grounds of the facility. He was questioned regarding materials and hours of operation of the fountain. The base of the fountain will be concrete with a decorative finish and the fountain is bronze. The fountain will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Ms. Gibbs motioned to approve as submitted. Ms. Kelly seconded. Motion carried 6 -0. (Mr. Goodman not present for this motion.) Mr. Goodman entered meeting. Item 4c —823 Park Ave., Steve Chusmir applied to place a 6' PVC fence along the alleyway at the rear of his property. Ms. Gibbs motioned to approve. Ms. Kelly seconded.

Item 4d — 1200 Magnolia Ave., Mr. Sean Kelsey of Hattaway Dr., Altamonte Springs, owns this rental property and petitioned the board to add fencing to visually screen the business across the alley and stop pedestrian traffic from crossing the property en route to the business. Ms. Sylvester motioned to approve with 12 St. side being arrowhead picket. Ms. Gibbs seconded. Motion carried 6 -0. Six Month Reviews New Business Ms. Singeisen reminded the board to get any comments to Ms. Gerli regarding revisions, questions, comments on the S code changes. Mr. Singeisen also stated that questions regarding vinyl fencing need to be addressed. The fencing was prohibited by the S code, but the board has been approving them. Ms. Kelly stated she thought the board was approving them on a trial basis and had requested they have vines planted on them in those few locations, which was not being done. Ms. Gibbs stated that vinyl fencing should be taken case by case. The fencing approved tonight was in an alleyway, not a front yard. There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 6:35.
