The Board did a courtesy review of the purposed plans for First
Baptist Church of Sanford. They Board felt that it is good having
a large church in downtown Sanford that brings people to the area.
The Board commended the Church Committee for their efforts with the
exception of the colonnade and arcade. They expressed concern
regarding the proportion and design of the arches, as well as the
massive scale of brick on the building. Several of the members
felt that the building needs some penetration such as decorative
windows to break up the facade. They felt that the setbacks in the
proposed plans were appropriate and traditional in downtown areas.
It was also expressed that it was good that an attempt to make an
architectural connection from the old to the new was being made.

suggested that the secretary compile 8 1/2 X 11 pamphlets of the
approved lettering styles and have them Public assessable at City

the group in Ocoee. He stated that community support is
