Meeting called to order by the Chairman who announced that the purpose of the
meeting was to consider an application received .by the Seminole County Chamber of
Commerce to lease the City's lakefront property west of French Avenue for the purpose
of constructing terminal warehouses and organizing and operating a barge line.

We desire to file this our protest and objection in any change in the present Zoning
Ordinance whereby any of the above described property will be removed from Residential
District and placed in Commercial and Industrial District and showeth unto the Commission
that all of this property has for many years prior to the building of any of the present
",.....
commercial and industrial plants and buildings been strictly residential property.
That the allowance of the extension of the Commercial and Industrial District to extend
further eastward and southward beyond the present limit will greatly depreciate the val-
ue of the residential property now in that and adjoining vicinity and the erection and
r---
conduct of any commercial or industrial business will become a nuisance to the present
home owners in the area affected.
That the construction of a spur or switch line across these lots will create a nuisance
and depreciate the value of the property in the vicinity and adjacent thereto.
Wherefore we respectly urge upon this Commission to refuse to make any change
in the ,zoning ordinance changing the above described property from residential to commer-
cial and industrial and urge that the Commission refuse to allow the constructiom of said
spur or switch track connecting with the A.C.L.Ry. or the crossing of the highways of
the City of Sanford for such a

Rev. Wright, Pastor of the Assembly of God Church located at the southwest corner of
Laurel Avenue and Twelfth Street also spoke against the change, stating that the location,
of the railroad spur track would injure their church property and render the holding of
services in the church impracticable, also stating that the Board of his Church had
offered to sell the Church property to Patrick Fruit Company, but~.}that an agreement had
not been reached.
Attorney Spencer then advised that his clients would purchase the Church property
if the Church would agree to abide by an appraisal thereof by any three or more real
r-
estate agents in Sanford.
Mr. H.Q.Touchton, member of the Board of the Assembly of God Church, next spoke
in opposition to the proposed change, stating that it would injuriously affect the Church.
There being no further protests against the proposed changes in paragraphs 1 and
2 of said notice, the Commission deferred final action and proceeded to the next matter
of change in the required ground floor area in Districts R-I-A from 1200 to 1000 square feet,

tered at said public hearing against expanding the Industrial District in the vicinity

demands for additional area for expansion of industrial enterprises were justifiable,
and on motion of Commissioner Lesher, seconded by Commissioner Williams and carried
unanimously, the Oommission authorized the foTlowing areas zoned in District R-l (One
Single Family) to be transferred to District 0-2 ( Oommercial-Industrial) and the Zoning
r
Ordinance amended so as to place such changes in effect:

floor area in Districts R-l-A ( One Single FamilY) from 1,200 to 1,000 square feet for
one story dwellings, exclusive of porte-cocheres and attached porches.
Thereupon after considerable discussion, and comparison of current costs of building
cOnstruction with costs existing at time the Zoning Ordinance waS adopted, Commissioner
Bishop moved that the Zoning Ordinance be amended so that the minimum requirements for
ground floor areain Districts R-l-A ( One Single Family), for one story dwellings,

Whereas application was made to the City Commission of Sanford, Florida, at its

such premises as requested, and,
Whereas the undersigned petitioners own or have an interest in real property in the
City of Sanford and/or are residents of the City of Sanford who believe that the operation t.
of an abattoir on the premises aforesaid would adversely affect their interest in said
real property and/or their living conditions as such residents, and
Whereas it is the opinion of the undersigned that the operation of an abattoir on
the aforesaid premises would constitute both a publiC and private nuisance, that the
transport of Imvestock to said premises would entice flies and other disease breeding
insects, that there would be bleating and lowing and other disturbing and distressing
noises from the livestock carried to and upon such premises for slaughter, that the mere
operc,tion of such business and the conduct of slaughtering on such premises would
be depressing, .that the neighborhood would be permeated by noisome and sickening odors
from such operation, that the proximity of such business would render the vicinity
an undesirable place to raise children, and that each of said conditions would be
destructive of the comfort and happiness of your petitioners and of other residents
in said vicinity, and that the existence of such business would materially and adversely
affect the value of all properties in the vicinity as well as rendering living conditions

Meeting called to order by the Chairman who announced that the purpose of the
meeting was to confer with Attorney G.W.Spencer who had been engaged by the City Com-
mission to render an opinion as to the legal status of tre ~ermit granted the Central
Florida Quick Freeze & Cold stoarge Company, Inc. to construct and operate an abattoir
at 401-09 W. Thirteenth St., as a result of the petition submitted to the Commission
at the meeting of October 14, by the residents within said vicinity, protesting against
the construction and operation of an abattoir at this location and requesting the
Commission to revoke said permit.
Thereupon Attorney Spencer submitted the following legal opinion:
October 17,1946.
Honorbale City Commission
City of Sanford, Florida.
Dear Sir's:
I"""'"
You have requested of me an opinion as to the legal status in which the City
Cormniss ion now finds itself with reference to the passing and adoption of a,n ordinance
permitting the operation of abattoirs within the City of Sanford and the issuance of
a permit for the operation of an abattoir to Central Florida Quick Freeze and Locker
Plant on 13th Street and Elm Avenue.
You also desire my opinion as to the liability of the City to Central Florida
Quick Freeze and locker Plant should you repeal said ordinance and revoke said permit
after the expenditure by said concern of several thousands of dollars in installing its
abattoir subsequent to the passing and adoption of your ordinance and the issuance of
your permit.
The first question to present itself is:
IS THE CITY WITHIN ITS LEGAL RIGHTS TO PASS AND ADOPT AN ORDINANCE PEffi~ITTING
THE OPERATION OF ABATTOIRS WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITSf
The law seems to be well founded that a governing body of a municipality may
pass and. adopt ordinances in this regard.
,......
/I A city may by ordinances exclude' the operation of slaughter houses within
its municipal limits or from thickly populated portions of the city.
Such ordinances have been uniformly sustained on accourlt of the offensive
odors which arise from such establishments. In' this regard it has been
..held that a power conferred upon a city in its charter to ' regulate the
erection, use and continuance of slaughterhouses' within the city includes
the power o~ total prohibition within specified limits or localities. While
i,t may be said tha t the question whether a slaughterhouse is or is not a
public or common nuisance depends upon the circumstances of each particular
case, the.power of municipal corporations to limit the existence of such
houses to particular localities and to regulate such business or trade as
a valid exercise of the police power, and in general exists as a means of
preventing nuisances and of preserving the health and comfort of the public,
. so long as the ordinances passed for such purpose contravene no constitution-
al rights, and follow the general rules of law with respect to city
ordinances in general. Regulatory ordinances may be made applicable to a
slaughterhouse erected within the city limits before the adoption of such
ordinance, without violating constitutional rights of the owner. Legislation
of this kind is based on considerations of the health and comfort of the
residents of the community. II 48..-fu.Juris. 4qO-461.
IIWhile the business of slaughtering animals for food or the business of
conducting and operating a slaughterhouse for that purpo.8'e is a legi-
timate business, it is of such nature that, however well conducted,
it is naturally repulsive and offensive to the senses, and one from
which offensive odors and stenches almost invariably emanate. Moreover,
if such business is improperly or negligently managed or conduct.Rn H.

subject to police regulation by the state or by duly authorized subdivisions
thereof, pursuant to the general principle of constitutional law giving the
state the right under its police power to regulate any and all kinds of busi-
ness for the protection of the public health, morals, or welfare, subject
to restrictions of reasonableness of classification and of the means of
regulation adopted. The legislature may properly prescribe the conditions
under which Slaughterhouses may serve the public. And likewise, municipal
corporations, when possessed of delegated powers in this re~pect and subject to
constitutional limitations, may regulate slaughterhouses or abattoirs to
the end that nuisances may be prevented and the health and comfort of the
public preserved. Such regulations may be upheld as conditions or
incidents of sanitary measures adopted for the protection 0 f public heal th
against dangers incident to the slaughtering and marketing of meats under
unsanitary conditions, or in the exercise of the police power to prevent
nuisances, or upon the groum. that the business of slaughterhouses is so
affected wlith the public interest as to subject it to regulation.1I
48 Am.Juris .459.
Chapter 585.34,Florida Statutes Annotated provides:
IIThat the State Livestock Sen itary Board has control over sla,ughtering of
meat producing animals within the state of Florida and provides that any person
so engaged shall make application to said board for a permit to transport
and sell their products at any place within the limits of the state of
Florida, and further provides that such permit may be revoked by the board
at any time when the establishment issued such permit violates any of the
regulations prescribed for efficient inspection and sanitation."
Section 386.13, Florida Statutes Annotated provides:
"Unclean and filthy slaughterhouses, rooms, buildings, or places where sheep,
hogs, cattle , or other animals are slaughtered within any incorporated city
or town or any unicorporated town or village of the State of Florida are
declared nuisances injurious to health; and any person creating, keeping,
or maintaining such nuisances who shall fall, after due notice from the
State ~ealth Officer to abate the same, shall be fined not more than $50..0.0.11
From the above authorities it will therefore be seen:
1. That the City of Sanford, Florida, has power and ~uthority under its
Police Power to pass and adopt an ordinance allowing the operation of abattoirs
within the corporate limits under its sanitary regulations, andunder the regu-
lations of The state Board of Health.
2. That the law generally is that such business can be conducted as any
other business so long as it is properly conducted and does not become
a mena~ce to public health and unless the same is operated in an unsani-
tary manner or emits theref~om offensive odors affecting those living 1n
the vicinity of then possible infection to the public from contaminated meat
affecting consumers.
3. That the State Livestock Sanitary Board must issue a permit before
slaughtering can be conducted by the licensee.
4. That it is an offense against the laws of the State of Florida to operate
an unclean and filthy slaughterhouse within the corporate limits and that
the operation of an unclean and filthy slaughterhouse is declared by state
to be a nuisance injurious to publiC health.
IIA slaughterhouse is not per se a public or private nuisance,
indepen~ently of the manner in which ahd the place at which it is
conducted, and the mere location and maintenance of a slaughter-
house in a city under express legislative authority cannot be
condemned as a public nuisance. It is not to be deemed a nuisance
merely because it is situate in a populace place, or in close
proximity to a dwelling house. II 48 Am.Juris.463.
II The Court must aSSume that the use of a building for killing
poultry is wholly inO,i'f'ensive, where, in a proceeding to com-
pel revocation of a permit for such use of a building, no
contention is made that the business is a nuisance, or in any
way offensive.1I Petros vs Superintendent and Inspector of
Buildings. 30.6 Mass. 368; 28 NE (2d} 233; 12g A.L.R. 1210.
liThe business of slaughtering animals for food is not a
nuisance, as a matter of law, independently of the manner in which it
is conducted, if the slaughterhouse is situated in a new and
sparsely settled portion of a city, in the neighborhood of
stockyards and other slaughterhouses. II ,

dwelling does not constitute a nuisance. II Hughson vs Wingham,
121 Wash. 327; 20.7 Pac 2; 27 ALR 32I.
IIGenerally, however, when located in a thickly populated
community, slaughterhouses are deemed prima facie a nuisance,

stenches emitted therefrom. Am Juris 463 ---

thmar continuance may be restrained by a court of equity.But when

The above quotations of the law resolve itself into the second question:
IS THE OPERATION OF AN ABATTOIR WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS A PUBLIC
OR PRIVATE NUISANCE?
~
It seems to me that the authorities above cited completely answer this
question in that it is not in itself per se a public or'private nuisance, nor
is it in itself a prima facia public or private nuisance unless by the operation
thereof it emits therefrom noxious vapors or noisome smells or stenches.
Nor is the operation of the slaughterhouse a private nuisance which
may be enjoined by a court of equity unless by the operation thereof, it emits
noxious vapors and noisome smells and stenches injurious to public health.
r-
Nor would the noise of animals kept for slaughtering be a private nuisance
except to persons living in the near proximity thereof and such private nuisance
may be abated by suit brought by that person to enjoin the keeping of animals
near the slaughterhouse.
The law generally as above outlined is not unlike the law as decided by
the Supreme Court of Pl arida.
In the case of Giliogger_v Bell et ~ , decided January 31,1941, by the Supreme
Court of Florida and reported in 200 So. page 10Q, the Supreme Court sustained the
lower court of Dade County, Florida, in enjoining the construction of an animal
reduction plant on the ground that the operation of such a plant would constitute
both a public nuisance and a private nuisance notwithstanding that the owner had
expended about $1,800.00 for lands and in construction of the plant after given
permission so to do by the City of Miami. In its opinion, the Court Said:
II It is shown that the odors emanating from the p1ant wlll materially
affect these properties) that such odors carry for great distances
and that they often affect the health of those nearby besides causing
nausea and discomfort."
~
In the case of Seab'oa;pd Rendering Co. v Conl con decided by the Supreme
Court of Flor1da on April 9, 1943, reported in 12 So (2d) g82. the ~~preme Court
sustained the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida, in issuing an injunction
restraining the operation of an animal reduction plant as constituting a nuisance
but said in the opinion sustaining the lower court that the operator of the plant
admitted the justification of entering the injunction and intimated in the opinion that
the reason for the granting of the injunction waS the emission of obnoxious odors
therefrom and the party against whom the injunction was issued questioned the
validity of the injunction on the ground that he had not been given an opportunity
to remedy the objections by eliminating the objectionable odors and the Supreme Court
stated that the lower court in giving the operator time to process its livestock
on hand before issuing the permanent injunction did not overcome the objectionable
odors and said:
"During this period ( the period of time given by the Court) it was
shown that the offensive and objectionable odors still emitted. He
(the Chancellor in the lower court) concluded from his study and
knowledge of the litiga,tion that it was not pnacticable for the
factory, ~ t~operated , to function without being a nuisance.
Bearing in mind the concession of the appellant and the findings of
the Cha,ncellor we feel that there is no occasion for our disturbing
the final decree and we are not swayed from this view by the sug-
gestion that provision ought to be included for revision of it
against ~ d1U:.-wh~o~ p~ss is developed by w~ manufacture

From the information at hand for the purpose of rendering this opinion,
I am informed that the abattotr to be operated by Central Florida Quick Freeze
Locker Plant is one of the most modern in Florida and that all of the slaughter-
ing will be done indoors, and that a complete modern plant has been installed
for the purpose of completely deodorizing the abattoir and that no noxious vapors,
odors, noisome smells and stenches can possibly emit therefrom, since it is my
understanding that the deodorization is by filtering and by emission of all
refuse such as blood, etc, after deodorization into the sewage system of thA citv_

GITY COMMISSION, SANFORD, FLORIDA, October H~ at 3:00 P M 19~
I am further informed that the abattoir to be operated by said company,
in addition to being modern in every respect, has been approved by the State Board of
Health, and with this approval, the public health could not be in danger.
If, however, in the management and operation of this abattoir it is so conducted
a.s to become a menace to the public heal th: of the community or the nearby residents,
the StateBoard of Health would promptly condemn the same and said resident would
have their remedy by seeking enforcement of' the state law by the State Livestock
Sanitary Board in revoking the permit of said company and imposing the penalty as
provided by statute for failure of said company to comply with the law and the
sanitary standards promulgated by the State Board of Health.
So it would seem from the above quoted cases from the State of Florida that
our courts, like other courts throughout the country, base their theory of a public
or private nuisance upon the emission of noxious odors from a slaughterhouse or
animal reduction plant. However, our Supreme Court in the SEABOARD RENDERING COMPANY
case above cited took the long range view and state that if,~s time passes,
science evolves_a proces~ f2r-t~manufacture 2! p~oducts in t~ plant...........
which would elminate these objective odors that the injunction should be lifted.
Taking this view connected with the information that both your governing body and I
have as to the type of abattoir now being installed by the licensee with the
knowledge .that such plant is of such modern design that no noxious or offensive
odors could possibly emit therefrom, it would be my opinion that the same would not
constitute a ~ublic or private nuisance.
.In addition to the general police power under which the city may control
abattoirs or public nuisances, Section 7 of the city charter provides that the
city has power
. Uto regulate, restrain or prevent the carrying on of manufactories
dangerous in creating or producing fires or so obnoxious or offensive
in nature as to constitute a nuisance."
so it would seem that the city not only has authority. under its general police power
but has charter authority to regulate abattoirs within its limits.
With respect to the above, I thus, conclude:
(a) That the City of Sanford is within its legal rights to pass and adopt
an ordinance permitting the operation of abattoirs within the city of Sanford when the
construction and operation thereof' has been approved by the State Board of Health.
(b) That the operation of such abattoirs is not a public or private
nuisance, per see
(c) That in order to enjoin theoperation of said abattoirs any private
ci tizen would have the burden of proving that the o.peration thereof is a public
or private nuisance.
(d) That the location of the abattoir is within the zoned commercial district
of the city of Sanford, Florida, and that having been zoned as commercial the
operation of a private business could not be prohibited by the city governing board
unless the operation thereof would be in violation of some city ordinance or state
law.
The next question presented to me by your governing body is:
VVHETHER THE CITY WOULD BE LIABLE IN DAMAGES TO CENTRAL FLORIDA QUICK
FREEZE AND LOCKER PLANT BY REASON OF ITS HAVING PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED
ORDINANCES #398 P~~ITTING THE OPERATION OF ABATTOIRS THE CONSTRUCTION
OF WHICH HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE
OPERATION OF WHICH IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RUiLES AND REGULATIONS
PROVIDED BY SAID BOARD AND BY THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT FOR THE IN-
STALLATION OF AN ABATTOIR WHEN AFTER THE ADOPTION OF SAID ORDINANCE
AND THE ISSUANCE OF SAID PERMIT SAID COMPANY HAS SPENT SEVERAL
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN INSTALLING ITS SAID ABATTOIR IN PREPARAT ION
TO CPERATION OF THE SAME.
This question I would be forced to answer in the negative. That is to
say, that the city of Sanford, Florida, would not be liable in damages should
it repeal Ordinance #398 and my authority therefor is as follows:
" An ordinance establishing a locality within which slaughterhouses
m~y be maintained may be repealed in the exercise of the police power
tnus granted and another established." 48 Am Juris 462; 18 Annotated
cases 470.
from. thitffiq~y..c I have answered the questions presented to me by your governin body
I believe-.. e sliort time alloted to me to make a search of the law
I, of course, have not had opportunity to read all of the cases on the. ,
subject as they are numerous but the majority cases in every respect seem to
support the view above outlined and support my views rendered in this opinion.

Commerce Baseball Committee, stating that they had invited this school to Sanford

from the approximately 150 young men that will visit Sanford while the School is in
sess ion.
Thereupon after considerable discussion, final action was deferred, pending written
report from Yr Ed,ward Higgins, Manager of the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce, as to the
proposition offered the Chattanooga Baseball Club and the obligations and responsibilities
to be assumed by the City in connection with their baseball training program. .

service of which thelr contract price accepted by the City Commission under date of
December 5, 1945, amounted to $2,007.99. Their letter explaining that the reason for
this increase over the contract price was due to the increase in cost of this equipment
that was allowed by the Federal Government after the contract was awarded, which was
beyon~ their control.

a general increase in cost of all equipment, materials and 1a"bordurlng the past year,

to $716.g7, which was written by C.M.Boyd & Company for his portion of insurance on the
