Subject: Notice of Public Hearing to Consider a Conditional Use Tax Parcel Number: 28- 19 -30- 517 - 0000 -0010 Applicant: Tom Burns -U -Haul Property Address 300 Flagship Drive Legal Description Lot 1 Happy Bays PB70 PG 95 & 95 I am a property owner within five hundred feet of the above reference property. A public hearing will be held April 5th by the Sanford Planning & Zoning Commission to consider a request for a Conditional Use for the property referenced above, request is to establish outdoor vehicle storage for U -Haul, behind the closed Big Boy Restaurant. I adamantly oppose this request. The Flagship Park Condominiums have only one entrance. I believe this will not only be an eyesore, but it will also be a safety issue. Will there be trucks in and out of this storage facility? The land that is proposed for this site is very low. Will the owner bring in fill dirt to level? Will this cause a flooding problem for our condominiums? Please forward my objection to the Planning & Zoning department, unfortunately, I cannot attend the meeting as it is being held on a work day. Vivienne Logan 3321 San Jacinto Circle Sanford, FL 32771 CITY OF SANFORD APR - 3 2012 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FLAGSHIP PARK CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. PETITION Planning and Zoning Commission City Commission Chambers Sanford City Hall 300 North Park Avenue The Board of Directors of Flagship Park Condominium Owners Association, Inc. would like to petition the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding: The Public Hearing for a Conditional Use By applicant Tom Burns — U -.haul 300 Flagship Drive Legal description: LOT 1 HAPPY BAYS PB 70 Pgs 95 & 96 The Board of Directors of Flagship Park Condominium Owners Association, Inc. representing and on behalf of the 117 homeowners in the community, has a major concern regarding the request by U -Haul to establish outdoor storage for U -haul rental equipment; trucks (small & large) and trailers. This property is located on Flagship Drive at the entrance to Flagship Park Condominium which is the main entrance to the association. if this request is approved, the beautiful landscaped entrance area would be diminished by the storage of various rental equipment; moving trucks and trailers... all advertising U -HAUL on the sides of their vehicles. The owners of each unit located in Flagship Park Condominium did not purchase their homes with the knowledge that their entrance would be transformed into a storage lot for moving vans, trucks and trailers. Originally, Storsafe, an indoor storage facility was built on this site and was not an eye- sore to the owners of Flagship Park Condominium or the surrounding neighborhood. It was completely enclosed and did not allow trucks and trailers to be parked at their facility or on the vacant lot across Flagship Drive in front of the Flagship community. (2) Petition,cont'd The Board of Directors, who has been elected by the homeowners of Flagship Park Condominium, has the fiduciary responsibility, not only to maintain the operation of the association but to also maintain the value of their property. Therefore, the Board of Directors respectfully requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission deny U- Haul's request to store their rental trucks and trailers on this vacant lot which is located at the entrance of the association where there arel 17 owners who live in Flagship Park Condominium. Thank you for your time and consideration concerning this Petition. Sincerely, The Board of Directors FlagshjpRark Condominium Owners Association.
