City Manager
FROM:
Director of Engineering and Planning
SUBJECT: Sanford Arms Apartments Site Plan Appeal
Mr. Faison:
The attached letter of February 24, 1987 has been received from
Sanford Arms Development, Inc. It requests City Commission review and
approval of the site plan, as amended, which was denied approval by
Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on February 19, 1987.
Revised drawings, providing correction for dumpster location and
additional landscaping around the property have been received and
reviewed. Based on these revised drawings I believe the project meets
all applicable City codes and ordinances.

Planning and Zoning Commission turned down the project for reasons as folloWs:

Fire Hazard.
After the February 19, 1987 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, he met with the
Engineering and Planning staff and has provided the City with modifications to issue #1 and
#2. Regarding issue #3 - Density - it is zoned for 190-200 Units (MR2), their plans are for
140 Units. In reviewing issues #4 and #5, Mr. Kantor reported no adverse effect on
Hartwell, as Hartwell Road will be paved and the Fire Department has approved the building
plans.

problems in the area of West 24th Place and Hartwell Road, and opposed any further apartment
dwellings in the area.
