The City Manager submitted a Memorandum dated January 6, 1984, regarding auto
salvage yards in the City of Sanford, as follows:
MEMORANDUM
To: Sanford City Commission
From: City Manager '
January 6, 1984
Request to make salvage yards an allowed
use.
The request prompted a survey of six surrounding agencies as
to allowing this use within a' city limits and regulations for the
use if allowed. Following is the result and recommended regulations:
a)
Cities prohibit this use:
Maitland.
Altamonte Springs, Winter Park,
b)
Those allowing with regulations:
and Seminole County.
.Orlando, Orange County,
Sanford Building Official and City Manager recommend this request
be denied and salvage yards remain~ a prohibited use. This
recommendation is based on:
a)
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at the time of drafting,
recommended that salvage yards not . be allowed within the
city. The City Commission concurred and Section 11-30
of the City Code was passed.
b)
Salvage yards do not provide taxes, other than land, which
exists before the use.
c)
Salvage yards do not promote more job opportunities.
d)
e)
Salvage yards, degrade
properities and i'tself.
property values of the surrounding
Salvage yards are not the best use of property for the community
and are better located outside the city limits.
2_~.. However, if the City Commission wishes to allow the salvage yard
use, the following regulations are recommended:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Recommended Regulations
Location only within a medium industrial district (MI-2) as
a conditional use.
Not to be located closer than one thousand (1,000) feet to any
secondary, primary, or interstate highway.
Completely enclosed within~ a building or open storage enclosed
by a solid masonary wall of at least six (6) feet in height
and to a height so that no open storage and/or processing activities
shall be visible from any public street or any point on the abutting
property line.
The enclosure wall shall be maintained' in good order and repair
and no advertisements or signs shall be allowed on said Wall.
Any side of the wall abutting the Public street or highway shall
be landscaped and maintained at all times.

There shall be no burning activities within the salvage/junkyard
site.
Adequare paved parking shall be provided and maintained as required
by the municipal off-street parking requirements.
The definition of salvage/junkyard shall be as set forth in F.S.
339.241(2) (a) and (b).
There shall be no burning within the confines of the salvage
yard.
No salvage yard shall be located closer than three hundred (300)
feet to any residentially zoned area.
These regulations have been discussed with David Redwine and
he concurs except for:
b)
J)
He requested exceptions as provided in statutes that would
allow location adjacent to highways if fenced. He stated
County is now allowing this. Checking with the County,
their ordinance does not allow it and lesser setbacks are
through a special exception procedure by their Board of
Adjustment. See attached.
He asked this be struck as he plans to locate across the
street from Academy Manor; a residentially zoned subdivision.
City Commission spoke of other violators. See attached list
of six (6) existing. You may wish to instruct the police department
to enforce the City Code, Section 11-30.
David Redwine, 2540 South Myrtle Avenue, Sanford, Florida, appeared to discuss
said recommendations and reported he agrees with most of them, but would like to see some of
the Recommended Regulations amended as follows:
(2) (b) reduced from 1,000 feet to coincide with the state law, which permits a
lesser set-back if a six foot sightproof fence is used.
(2) (c) "solid masonry wall" changed to "solid fence or wall".
Further, that he has been working on this for about three months and he has a contract to
purchase property for his proposed salvage yard, and he is running out of time.
commissioner Farr moved to consider amending Section 11-30 of the City Code to
allow auto salvage yards as a conditional use and amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit same
as a conditional use in MI-2 (Medium Industrial) Districts. Seconded by Commissioner Keith
and carried.
Commissioner Farr moved to amend the City Code, Section 11-30 to permit auto
salvage yards as a Conditional Use in MI-2 (Medium Industrial) Districts, and to amend the
Zoning Ordinance, MI-2 (Medium Industrial) District, to permit auto salvage yards as a
Conditional Use; and to adopt the Recommended Regulations (a) through (j) with changes as

The City Manager reported that the Florida Department of Transportation has
asked the City to join a Tripartite Agreement for railroad crossing signals to assume one-
half of the annual Maintenance costs, supplying and installing the Advance Warning signs,
and placing pavement markings, if applicable, on the roadway, and~that the City Attorney has
suggested revised wording to include in such agreements as follows:

of the obligation to pay 1/2 of the annual maintenance costs, the Florida
Department of Transportation and the Seaboard System Railroad, Inc.
Jointly and severally agree as follows:

and employees, harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage the
City may suffer as a result of claims, demands, costs or judgments
against it, including attorney's fees and litigation costs, arising out
of the acts or failure to act of the parties in supplying, installing,
operating, and maintaining advance warning signs, pavement markings,
warning devices or signals and railroad crossings (located at ).
B. The parties covenant and agree that the annual maintenance
cost to be provided by the City pursuant to this agreement is $325.00
per annum and no increase in cost will be paid by the City unless
it is expressly agreed to by the City in writing prior to the assessment
of said cost.
C. This agreement may be unilateraily cancelled by anY'
party by said party's giving written notice to the other parties
hereto not less than one year prior to the effective date of said
cancellation."

The City Manager submitted a Memorandum dated January 9, 1984 on the water supply
as follows:
January 9, 1984
MEMORANDUM
To:
From:
Sanford City Commission
City Manager
The original capacity of the City of Sanford's water supply was
9.172 mgd. The 1983 peak day was May 21, 1983, when the water demand
was 7.915 mdg.
Out of the original 15 wells, Sanford now has 9 of them operational.
These are the 8 wells at the 17-92 well field and 1 well (;5) at the
Mayfair golf course. All are free of EDB.
Over' the New Year's weekend, city crews laid 12,200 feet of pipe
to connect a 12" irrigation well and a 16" irrigation well to the raw
water supply. These are now operational and free of EDB.
Available for use are:
12" irrigation well @ 1,000 gpm = 1.440 mgd
16" irrigation well @ 2,900 gpm = 4.176 mgd
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida
January fg! at 7:00 P. M.
However, the 16" well is on an eight hour schedule and produces
1.392 while the 12" well is on a 16 hour schedule, producing 0.960
mgd. Therefore, the two irrigation wells produce 2.352 mgd.
~5 well @ 700 gpm

2 irrigation-wells
Total ....
1.008 mgd
2.448 mgd
3.456 mgd
2.352 mgd
5.808 mgd
The City presently has underway the drilling of two new wells
on the 17-92 well field. The actual production of these will not be
known until they are complgted and tested. It is hoped the two wells
will add a minimum of 1 mgd to the supply.
The work is now ongoing to study and design a possible salvage
method of the six wells at the golf course that are now shut down because
of EDB tainting. This will not be a known fact until it is done.
One good possibility had an estimated cost of $15,000./well. Plans
are going ahead to try to slip case and seal #3 well as soon as the
monitoring studies indicate the feasibility of this plan. Results
of this would indicate the value to proceed with the entire six wells.
This salvage plan has the probable results of reducing the productivity
of each well. Therefore, it is doubtful if the successful salvage
work on the six wells would ever bring them back to a full 6.724 mgd.
The two new wells would probably make up for the lost capacity.
We are also exploring pump and motor modifications to #5 well
to increase its production. The gain from its present 700 gpm may
go as high as 1,500 gpm, hopefully. It would require a new pump and
motor on this well. An increase to 1,500 gpm would produce 1.152 mgd
The two irrigation wells are expensive water. The City should
seek an early termination of this use. In addition to the costs of
transporting the water to the p~ant (emergency pipeline), there are
daily costs.
a) 16" irrigation well:
Frank and Mark Stenstrom want to replace existing agreement
to provide them with cash at the rate of $40./hour of use
- 8 hrs./day eqUals
$ 320.00
Meridith is charging for power unit,fuel, operator -

b) 12" irrigation well:
Pat Stenstrom, owner is not requesting cash for this
temporary use.
Meridith for power unit, fuel, operator

$ 1,326.00/day
Friday, the DER agreed to negotiate a contract directly with the
Stenstroms and Meridith for the state to pay the daily charges on the
16" well. The time period to be until the two new city wells are on
line. (The length of this time period is unknown now. It may be
four months or less - 40 to 50 days). This contract will reduce the
City's costs by $880.00 x 50 = $44,000.- that could increase or decrease;
based on the time.
We should plan to get off the irrigation wells as quickly as possible
due to costs. It would be well to consider adding another two new
wells immediately and to attempt to salvage at least some of the six
shut down wells.

SUMMARY:
Sanford is utilizing wells capable of producing 5.808 mgd now.
Ail wells are free of EDB. Future pumping may change that picture.
In four months or less we hope to add in excess of 1 mgd to this
total by the two new wells and we should discontinue the use of the
two irrigation wells because of cost.
Increasing the capacity of the #5 well and undertaking the shielding
of ;3 well, as a trial, is now the immediate need.
Beyond that we must consider adding two more, new and additional,
wells or creating a new well field. The well field will include the
need to acquire land and lay a transmission line (utilizing the 12
inch pipe recaptured from the irrigation well use.).
following:
On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Keith moved to authorize the
a) Negotiate the immediate drilling of two more wells at the Hidden Lake Park
site for a total of four.
b) #5 well - shut down to pull the pump and motor; install test pump to observe
effects of pumping at 1,500 gpm; install new pump and motor to achieve
higher capacity.
c) #3 well - proceed with salvage idea of slip casing; extending bore; shield
existing well hole and test - estimated cost $15,000.00.
Seconded by Commissioner Yancey and carried.
On request of the City Manager, Commissioner Yancey moved to authorize the City
Manager to approve any building permit for construction purposes only, if there are no
