seconded. Motion carried 5 -0.
Public Hearings
Hold a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use request to allow outdoor display of used
merchandise for Thrift Mission Outlet at 2613 Orlando Drive. Arthur S. Peloso, property owner and
representative. Mr. Peloso requested a continuance to allow him time to discuss this with his attorney.
Nick Moss, Centrix Management Group, was present to speak in opposition of the request. He reported he
manages the property across the street, which has commercial on the first floor and residential units on the
second floor. The tenants can see the activity from their windows and the Thrift Mission Outlet customers
use his parking lot, which creates parking problems for the commercial tenants. It appears there is a yard
sale every day and they also sell food on the premises.
Mr. Mills read a letter into the record from Dan Hall, Hall Realty. He was in opposition of the request
because he felt it would be a negative impact on the overall appearance of the area and the entrance into
Sanford.
Per the owner's request, Mr. Loader moved to table to June 7th. Mr. Padgett seconded. After discussion,
Mr. Loader amended his motion to include requesting staff ensure the property owner and applicant
receives a copy of the conditions. Mr. Padgett seconded. Amended Motion carried 5 -0.
