A man reported he had a brief discussion with the City Manager before tonight' s meeting and said there was an
on going problem with Club Mayfair with regard to capital improvements, etcetera. He presented to City Manager the
willingness to pay each quarter, 5% of the Club's gross revenue sales to the City of Sanford starting January 1, 1999. In return,
he requested the return of the money he has on deposit, and the carry forward on the capital improvements would go away. He
said currently there is capital improvement in lieu of rent. Additionally, there would have to be a modification to the lease to show
that the City is receiving 5%, and in the event the lease would be assigned, the subsequent buyer would have to pay 5% of the
gross revenue. He said he did a preliminary study with the National Golf Course Owners Association in Charleston, South
Carolina, and said a course like Mayfair could potentially earn the City five to eight million dollars, based on 5% of the gross
revenue sales, in addition to the revenue from food and beverage.
Mayor Dale suggested the man put the offer in writing and present it to the City Manager; staff and Legal Counsel
would review it and respond.
Michael Skat, 1617 East Second Street, Sanford, Florida, reported he had resigned as vice-president of Sanford
Main Street on Tuesday, November 3, 1998. He said that Sanford Main Street was a broken, poorly run organization which is
completely missing its 'mission statement. He further stated that in the past two years the City and the County had contributed
more than $108,000.00 of tax payer money to Sanford Main Street. He said the salary of the managers during the past two years
was approximately $65,0000 and there remains $42,000 in the cash account, indicating there has been little outflow from the
organization. He also said that Main Street has not done what was initially planned: the facade grants, design grants, and
economic restructuring. Mr. Skat said Main Street has become an event coordination group and that needed to change.
Additionally, Mr. Skat said that Sanford Main Street should not be solely dependent upon tax payer dollars for financial support

and as a tax payer he felt that the organization has missed its mark. He said thin for the $50,000.00 a year that the City and the
County give to Sanford Main Street that the City cotrid have an event coordinator produce the events that Main Street is
responsible for producing: the parade, the fireworks, and the Christmas lights, and there would be significant money left to do
important facade and street scape improvements to First Street. He urged the Commission to review the situation because the
outflow of tax payer dollars is significant.
Rob Crews, a member of Main Street, spoke on behalf of Sanford Main Street and stated that Mr. Skat is all
wrong. He said the problems Mr. Skat has with Main Street have nothing to do with Main Street and said it was unfair that the
Commission had to listen to information without theinput of the knowledgeable people who run Main Street. Mr. Crews said
that Linda Kuhn, manager of Sanford Main Street, is doing a tremendous job and he has great respect for the people who serve
on the Board. He urged the Commission to talk to the people involved with Main Street if they chose to research the situation.

Continuation of Public hearing to consider appeal of denial by Plannin~ and Zonin~ Commission of a Conditional Use
request to construct multi-family residential dwe!lines in a GC-2 (General Commercial) Zonin~ District on property
located at 3865 Orlando Drive. Ad published October 15, 1998; property posted October 9, 1998. PubLic Hearing tabled
October 26, 1998.
City Manager VanDerworp reported staff recommended approval of the Conditional Use with the addition of a
Type 1 fence to be required at any place where the project abuts any single family residential property.
Jay Marder, Director of Engineering & Planning, reported the Planning & Zoning Commission had some concerns
regarding traffic and land use compatibility between a multiple-family development project and the adjacent single family
residential area known as Sunland Estates. However, the original staff recommendation to the Planning & Zoning Commission
was to approve up to 260 multiple-family dwellings, because all necessary services and facilities are available and are anticipated
to be adequate for potential multiple family development, there is good access to major thoroughfares, and the project would be
compatible with the existing character of the area at the present time.
Ken Wright, Shutts & Bowen Law Firm, was present to represent Mr. Norlman, applicant, and The Prime Group.
He reported that the property fronts along U.S. Highway 17-92; the frontage would lie south of the Colorado Steak House and
be bordered on the south by Sunland Estates, and be bordered on the north by Woodson Avenue. Mr. Wright requested that the
Commission revisit the request and affirm City staffs recommendation for the approval of a Conditional Use permit to construct
280 multi-family units on the tract of approximately fourteen acres. He said the property is problematic for commercial
development and would be more incompatible with residential uses. There is approximately 424 feet of Hwy. 17-92 frontage
and the property's depth is 1,240 feet offHwy. 17-92. Additionally, there is a request to vacate Woodson Avenue on file with
the City Clerk's office, which ifapproved, would prevent the public using it as access to Sunland Estates.

Mr. Wright said that a site plan has not been prepared, however, research has been completed regarding
environmental studies, phase I environmental studies, and threatened endangered species studies.
Mr. Marder said staff recommendations regarding a front buffer would be a buffer substantial enough,
approximately 20-30 feet, to provide an entrance feature as the main thing seen from the roadway. Also, there is a uniform
building setback which equates to 75 feet from the right of way. Additionally, there are Land Use Compatibility Standards which
require buffers and setbacks between adjacent uses including single and .multiple-family dwellings.
Mr. Wright stated he agreed to the staff recommendations and the conditions of the Planning & Zoning
Commission. For the record, he said that the zoning category would allow up to twenty units per acre and the calculation comes
to 280 units instead of 260 units.
After discussion, the Commission overtamed the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial. Commissioner
Willjams moved to approve the Conditional Use request to construct multi-family residential dwellings in a GC-2 (General
commercial) Zoning District on property located at 3865 O~ando Drive, contingent upon the presentation of a site plan to the
City Commission for its perusal and approval. Seconded by Commissioner Eckstein and carried by vote of the Commission as

Public hearinl~ to consider appeal of denial by Historic Preservation Board of a Certificate of Appropriateness at 214 ·
Laurel Avenue. Property was posted October 30, 1998.
City Manager VanDerworp reported that on September 10, 1998 the Historic Preservation Board considered a
request to move the house from 214 Laurel Avenue to 916 Park Avenue. There was a motion to deny the Certificate of
Appropriateness based on the fact that the house contributes to the historic character of Laurel Avenue, that it is in the Historic
District, it is in a historic neighborhood, and there is no valid reason for it being moved. The motion to deny was passed on a
5 to 3 vote. City Manager VanDerworp recommended upholding the decision of the Historic Preservation Board.
Mr. H. R. Pakniat was present and reported he is the owner of the lot at 916 Park Avenue and is the person who
applied for the certificate of appropriateness to move the house from 214 Laurel Avenue to 916 Park Avenue. He said that he
was denied on the basis of a personal conflict with the head of the Historic Preservation Board. He also said that he has been
discriminated against because the process of moving a house from one lot to another lot has been done many times in the past
and he should be allowed to do it as well.
Commissioner Wflliams asked if was true that other individuals had been allowed to relocate houses from one
location to another in the historic district and asked why Mr. Pakniat was not permitted to do the same, based on what was
discussed at the Historic Preservation Board meeting.
Mr. Martier said that the decision by the Historic Preservation Board was consistent with other decisions made
by the Board to allow homes to be relocated in the historic district from other areas in the historic district when those homes were
somewhat isolated, where in this case there is an entire row of original houses completely intact and the Board felt that removing
the house from 2 I4 Laurel Avenue would disrupt the texture of the historic integrity of that street.
Mayor Dale reported Mr. Pakniat came to his office and discussed the appeal. Commissioner Lessard reported
he spoke with Mr. Pakniat regarding the appeal, Mr. Zimmer regarding zoning on the west side of Laurel between 2nd Street and
3rd Street, and Burger King regarding technical questions about the site which he referred to staff.
Commissioner Lessard moved to uphold the decision of the Historic Preservation Board to deny the Certificate
of Appropriateness at 214 :Laurel Avenue. Seconded by Commissioner Eckstein and carried by vote of the Commission as
