For Discussion Purposes Only
RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO PRELIMINARY
DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOCUMENT
DATED SEPTEMBER 1987
CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 18, 1987
The following changes to the Preliminary Draft Comprehensive Plan
Document reflect substantive revisions that are recommended at the
present time. These revisions are based on agency comments upon
the Draft Plan, certain conditions that have changed since the
plan was initially drafted and input from workshops held by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Various nonsubstantive changes
due to editing and corrections will be incorporated into the
adopted plan.
FUTURE LAND USE PLAN
Revise Floodplain Protection by adding first paragraph on page
II-8 to read as follows:
Floodplain Protecion shall be specifically accomplished by:
Avoiding development in floodplains which would decrease
water storage or flood conveyance capacity, or otherwise
increase the potential for flood damage.
Adhering to the federal flood insurance program. Sanford's
continued participation in this program requires periodic
updating of local regulations and accompanying mapping. In
general, the finish elevation of the first floor of struc-
tures must be elevated above the 100-year flood zone.
2. Revise Wetlands on page II-8 to read as follows:
Wetlands constitute an invaluable and state-recognized natural
resource that is significantly protected by state and regional
environmental regulatory and review agencies. The City of Sanford
will support and coordinate with such agencies to protect viable
wetland systems. In addition, the City will develop and implement
wetland prOtection criteria that, in general, would focus upon pro-
tecting smaller wetland sites that often are outside the jurisdic-
tion of other agencies that regulate development activities in
certain, generally larger wetlands.
Revise Resource Protection policy on page II-6 to read as
follows:
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida
December 21,
085
No land use or development shall be permitted that would
result in the elimination of any unique natural resource
within any designated resource protection area. In
general, activities by man shall be directed towards pre-
serving natural flora and fauna and associated environmen-
tal regimes that are typical of resource protection areas.
4. Revise Stormwater Drainage Facilities on page II-23 to read:
Sites should be developed to maximize the amount of natural
rainfall which is percolated into the soil and to minimize
direct overland runoff into adjoining streets and water
courses to the extent feasible.
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PLAN
Add the following paragraph after the paragraph beginning with
III-18:
Areas Warrantinq Further Study. Certain areas of the City and
urban area should be further analysed and evaluated in terms
of the need for additional traffic carrying capacity. One
such area includes the northeast quadrant of Sanford from the
intersection of French Avenue and 25th Street. In this
regard, certain collector streets being Mellonvil!e Avenue,
Sanford Avenue and Celery Avenue should be focused upon to
determine if additional laneage o/ other improvements are
necessary. ~
e
Revise Nonvehicular Circulation policies on page III-16 by
adding the following:
Provide sidewalks along arterial and collector roads as
identified on the Transportation Network and Functional
Classification of Roads map.
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Revise Drainage level of service standards on page IV-7 to "be
based upon on-site stormwater retention of a 25-year, 24-hour
storm event..." This revision effects the Capital Improvements
Element by similarly revising the level of service standard for
drainage on page X-4.
Revise Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge policies by
modifying the second paragraph and adding the third paragraph
on page IV-9 to read as follows:
Minimize impervious surface coverage in effective recharge
areas generally identified on the accompanying Effective
Recharge Areas map through appropriate land development
regulations that also encourage maximum onsi~e retention of
stormwa%er by development in such areas.
Enhance the natural groundwater aquifer recharge function
in effective recharge areas through the City's reclaimed
water system involving irrigation of public lands. Also,
encourage reuse in effective recharge areas by private
development projects through the land development regula-
tory process.
Support the vigorous enforcement of existing hazardous
waste and material regulations that require all users and
generators to properly store and dispose of such waste and
materials. This is especially applicable to aviation and
industrial activities located in the Sanford Regional
Airport environs which are coincident with the largest
effective recharge area in the City of Sanford.
Appropriate coordination between state and local levels
should insure periodic on-site verification of
generator/user compliance with applicable rules and regu-
lations at a minimum of once every five (5) years.
Revise Wetlands policies on page VIII-5 by adding second
policy so as to read as follows:
Reduce chemcial non-point source pollution of runoff water
by:
Promoting water retention in land depressions and
ponds for the dissolved organics to decompose by
making use of wetlands such as cypress ponds.

Detaining the "first flush" to minimize the amount of
chemicals entering the wetland.
Maintaining vegetated wetland zones adjacent to open
water to filter nutrients.
Quickly re-establishing a vegetative cover (weeds and
trees) to absorb nutrients released by clearcutting
and slash burning.
.. Avoiding direct contamination of wetlands and open
water with fuel and oil spills and fertilizer and
pesticide applications.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION PLAN
10. Revise Sanford Airport Authority policies by deleting the
following on page IX-2:
Utilization of airport land for public access
quality effluent irrigation.
This revision should be similarly deleted from the the Generalized
Capital Improvements Location Map, page X-ii.
11. Revise East Central Florida Regional Planning Council policy on
page IX-7 to 'read as follows:
This City should continue its membership and participation in the
East Central Florida Regional Planning Council. The City recogni-
zes the Council's potential importance in resolving conflicts be-
tween local governments and will cooperate in all such matters.
Ongoing coordination will be accomplished through the City's par-
ticipation in the Region's many policy and technical components
such as but not limited to:

The City Manager s~bmitted a report from the
regarding the adoption of a Fire Safety code as follows:
Fire Chief and the Fire Marshall
MEMORANDUM
FROM:
Fire Chief and Fire Marshal
SUBJECT: PropOsed Fire Safety Code Adoption
DATE: 12/i7/87
After much research and review of the proposed code options
presented by the State, we believe that adoption of N.F.P.A.
Pamphlet #1 will help us accomplish both our short and long
term goals regarding fire prevention and inspections.
However, we have made several additions and/or deletions
regarding the proposed code. In addition to this proposal
we have included a draft of our proposed City of Sanford
Fire Safety Code for your review.
Note: One area needing our immediate attention is Section
#16, page #5 concerning the Administrative Board as required
by S.Statute #553.73 Section ~1, Subsection #8-B, Florida
Statutes. This Board must be organized as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or comments we are available at
your convenience.

Sanford, FL 3277]
Dear Mr. Faison:
The 1987 Session of the Florida Legislature amended Flor;Ca Statutes 553 and 633,
relating to fire prevention and control, building codes, State Fire Marshal's powers, and
resolution of conflicts between building codes and minimum fire safety codes. This
legislation has been commonly referred to as H.B. 1337.
This Legislature adopted the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety
Code 101, 1985 edition, as a minimum state-wide code. Additionally, it stipulated that
one of four codes be adopted by local jurisdictions before January 1, 1988. in the event
appropriate code selection is not made at the local level, the Standard Fire Prevention
Code, !985 edition, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, Life Safety
Code, 1985 edition, become the minimum fire code.
We, the undersigned fire chiefs, have discussed the options presented by the State in
~reat detail. We believe strongly that the time has come to have one consistent fire
code throughout the County and all of the municipalities. The uniform adoption of one
code would accomplish the following:
1. Eliminate confusion between jurisdictions as to what codes a particular property
must comply,
2. Insure the same level of safety throughout Seminole County, and
3. Eliminate confusion for architectural design and construction people with regard
to different codes throughout the County.
We, therefore, propose the following:
i. That alt jurisdictions within Seminole County adopt the National Fire Protection
Association Pamphlet !, Fire Pr. evention Code, 1982 edition, and National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Code 101, !985 edition, as the minimum
fire codes, and
That each city and the Count), adopt the same amendments to NFPA 1, as provided
in the code and as recommended by the fire chiefs within the Count)'.
The above recommendation was unanimous among all of the fire chiefs within Seminole
Count),, and we urge each governing body to proceed as quickly as practical in the
adoption of these codes.

The City Manager reported that the Fire Chief has met with Fire Officials of other
municipalities in Seminole County and the Seminole County Fire Official and together they
have been moving to support a state fire code, subject to local amendments.
The Commission reviewed the request from Ned Julian for annexation, abandonment
of road right-of-way, and'rezoning of property to be used for the expansion and renovation
of the Seminole High School Facility. The City Engineer submitted a memo as follows:

School Board Request for Abandonment of Roadway
and Annexation
December 14, 1987
Mr. FaiSon:
The attached letter of December 7, 1987 from Mr. Ned Julian,
Attorney for the Seminole County School Board, requests annexation
into the City of some newly acquired property lying west of
Seminole High School, and in an enclave of unincorporated 'land
within the municipal boundaries. The attached drawing has been
produced to clearly show the five parcels for which annexation is
requested. The Annexation Petition, executed by the School Board
and the Pilchers appears to be in proper order, however, a check
for only $75, from the Pilchers, was forwarded. The City annexa-
tion fee is presently $150, primarily representing the cost of
legal advertisements. It would appear appropriate that the School
Board also pay a $75 share of the annexation fee, since the City
would otherwise incur a cost from the annexation due to legal
advertisement fees. (City Clerk advises that he recalls no speci-
fic precedent for waiving the fee. Ned Julian has verbally indi-
cated no problem with the payment.
Mr. Julian also requests City action to vacate a portion cf an
old County road right-of-way shown on our drawing, as well as his
submission. Since %he School Board owns the property on both sides
of the roadway, it would be the recipient of all present right-of-
way land which is vacated. I recommend that we move forward with
this vacating, following the annexation, based on the assurances
contained in his letter that the School Board would separately
provide necessary access through their new roadway to the pro-
perty owners of parcels 45 and 47A. Although Mr. Julian indica-
tes that the County Attorney's office advises that they will not
oppose the street vacating, it would appear that specific action
will be required by Seminole County if the School Board wishes
the right-of-way vacated prior to completion of annexation, and
possibly amendment of our Comprehensive Plan to pick up this
annexation. (There is a $40.00 fee for a street closure, since
.advertisement is required.)
Mr. Julian also forwarded Rezoning Petitions for parcels
requested for annexation. It is recommended that City Commission
take no action on these Rezoning Petitions at this time, since I
believe both annexation and Comprehensive Plan amendment should be
completed prior to any rezoning action.
I understand from Mr. Julian that there is an urgency in
completing the annexation and street c2osure, related to
construction at the High School. Recommend that the annexation
request be placed on the late agenda for December 28.

in effect since December 1985. The City Manager reported that Federal regulations require
the plan to be updated as changes are made from Florida Municipal Health Trust to Blue
Cross/Blue Shield, and the effective dates.

Acquisition of Abandoned CSX Railroad Right-of-Way
December 15, 1987
Mr. Faison:
One section of the Reclaimed Water Distribution System
designed for our WasteWater Effluent Land Application Program tra-
verses a section of the abandoned CSX Railroad right-of-way between
Ei!iott Avenue and Summerlin Avenue. This particular route was
recommended by our Consulting Engineer in overall consideration of
minimizing cost of installation of the distribution system, while
allowing for easiest service to the City parks to be irrigated.
The drawing appended to the attached proposed purchase offer/con-
tract shows the particular area recommended for purchase. The
location of the proposed effluent transmission line has been marked
on the property drawing for clarity.
By their letter of December t0, 1987, the CSX has invited an
offer of $7,000 for this 350' by 50' parcel plus a 50' by 50' sec-
tion of Summerlin Avenue right-of-way which crosses the CSX right-
of-way.
It is recommended that City Commission approve an offer of
this amount. An earnest money deposit of $700 is requested by CSX.
By copy of this memorandum, City Attorney is requested to
review the form of the purchase/offer contract document offered by
the ~SX Railroad, and to provide recommendation? or desirability of
obtaining a survey.
Funds for purchase of this right-of-way should be taken from
the Sewer Bond Proceeds Trust Fund.
