Session.
Scott Barnes, owner and President, Aero Products Corporation, appeared and reported
that he is in the process of relocating his business from Longwood to Sanford, and that he

Further, it will be necessary for him to pave Kennel Road from SR 46 to Jewett Lane, which
will cost approximately $200,000.00, and since the City is unable to provide financial
assistant regarding same, he thought the City would be willing to rename a portion of Jewett
Lane between Kennel Road and Smith Canal to "Aero Lane".

of public confusion and E-911 responses, if a portion of Jewett Lane is renamed Aero Lane.
Further, Land Development Coordinator has indicated that Kennel Road from SR 46 to Jewett
Lane would be a better alternative, however, there are several properties along Kennel Road,
and should the Commission consider Kennel Road to be a viable alternative, he would recommend
that the Commission consider how these property owners could be brought into discussions.
After discussion, Commissioner Howell moved to rename Kennel Road between SR 46 and
Jewett Lane to Aero Road, and to authorize City Attorney to prepare the proper ordinance
regarding same. Seconded by Commissioner Thomas and carried by the roll call vote of the
