The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Proposal from Conklin, Porter & Holmes for, design, and construction plans for utility relocation work on East Lake Mary
Boulevard.
Utility Director Paul Moore gave an overview of current and furore relocation'projeCtS, and stated that this proposal is
for design and construction plans for utility relocation work on East Lake Mary Boulevard from Sanford Avenue to the Sanford Airport
entrance road, and road widening plans associated with Lake Mary Boulevard from Highway I7-92 to Sanford Avenue.
The City Manager reported that these relocation projects are a result of Seminole County's building program, and
explained that as a condition for utiliz/ng County road rights-of-way for needed utility pipelines, the City must pay all costs associated
w/th required utility relocation work. In response to CommiSsioner Lessard's question, the City Manager stated that under the Florida
Competitive Negotiation Act, the City seeks proposals, not bids, from engineering firms for jobs over $5,000.00, that in most cases the
firm of Conklin, Porter and Holmes is utilized because of its vast knowledge of the City's system, that said work is billed as an
Amendment to a previous Agreement, and that Staff will continue in this manner unless otherwise directed.
After discussion, and at the request of the City Manager, the Commission referred this item to tonight's Regular Meeting,
for City Commission consideration.
.Utilities,, Standards and Specifications Manual
Work Session.
The COmmissiOn did not discuss this item, and continued it to the January. 27, 1997,
Proposed amendment to Ordinance No. 3117, Land Development Regulations, Section 2, Schedule B,. Permitted Uses, an,
~chedule E - additional requirements for.specific, uses re: communication towers.
Director of Planning and Development Jay Marder reported that there are over twenty (20) communication towers in
Sanford and/or the immediate area, that towers are not permitted in single-family zones; they are permitted in multiple-family and
commercial zones as a conditional use, which requires Planning and Zoning Commission approval. Further, the main difference between
the City's regulations governing communication towers and other jurisdictions is that the City does not have a separation requirement
between towers, and that other Cities are forcing companies to co-locate on the same tower in an effort to diminish the number of towers.
Also, the commonalities of where local governments want to put towers will be discussed at the CALNO meeting this Thursday.
Commissioner Lyons reported that he was in favor of promoting that all towers are co4ocatable, and that multi-family
and single-family dwellings have the same distance separation standards to preserve neighborhoods.
City Manager Simmons reported that the City could mandate that the requestor be required to build the tower at least ten
(10) feet higher than the basic requirement to assure at least one (1) co-locate space on that tower.
Commissioner Williams expressed her support relative having the 200 foot distance separation or a distance equal to three
hundred percent (300%) of the height of the tower, whichever is greater, for both single-family and multi-family dwellings.

Work Session January 13
After d/scussion, the consensus of the commission was that both single-family and multi-family dwellings require a 200
foot distance separation or a distance equal to three hundred pement (300%) of the height of the tower, whichever is greater, and
concurred that Jay Marder broach the subject of requiring that towers have the capacity to be co-locatable at the CALNO meeting this
Thursday, and provide the Commission with feedback at the January 27, 199.7, Meeting.
Request for.waiver of the 2,000 foot distance requirement between..churches and vendors of beer, wine and fiquor for consnmptioi~
on .premises for Stooges. at 2491 South Park Avenue.
City Clerk Janet Dougherty reviewed City Code Section 3-5, Distance Restrictions, which requires a 2,000 foot separation
between established churches and schools for Vendors of beer, wine and liquor for consumption on premises, and stated that the reqnest
is for a waiver of said distance restriction. Further, thc matrix, as described in memorandum dated January 13, 1997, was provided
essentially because of allegations that other locations have been authorized for this same type of sale, and that said locations are in
violation of the City Code. Thc matrix shows businesses that hold a 4COP license, which arc either located next to a church in a
temporary location or the location was approved prior to the City enacting. (February 22, 1982) the 2,000 foot distance restriction, in
which businesses were grandfathered in and allowed to lawfully continue such operation. Also, Item I4.B., Planning and Zoning
Commission Recommendations, contains a similar request; a copy of a map showing the location on Sanford Avenue as well as
highlighted churches that fall within thc 2000 foot distance restriction has been provided.
In response to Commissioner Williams' question relative On the Ball and Beer 30 (Gill's Liquor), thc City Manager
reported that within thc last two (2) or three (3) years a waiver of the 2,000 foot distance ~requirement was granted for Beer 30, that said
approval was predicated upon the pastor of the church providing a written statement that thc church had no objection to thc proximity,
in addition to thc fact that the Commission chose to change the code to exclude consideration of churches in non-typical locations such
as a shopping center.
In response to Commissioner Williams' question as to whether the City Commission has approved any other
establishments within the last six months, the City Clerk responded not to her knowledge.
Director of Planning and Development Jay Marder reported that relative the request from the AMVETS Post 17, for a
conditional use permit to sell and consume alcoholic beverages, Staff was not aware that the requested location was within 2,000 feet
of a church, and erroneously forwarded said rexluest, which requires City Commission approval, to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commissioners Williams and Lcssard inquired whether a private not-for-profit organization can be regulated differently
from a public for-profit business.
Commissioner Lyons reported that he is opposed to waiving thc 2,000 foot distance requirement under any circumstances;
that if the Commission wishes to change said distance requirement, the ordinance should be amended accordingly.
Commissioner Eckstcin stated that Stooges should be granted a variance.
Board appointments/re-appointments.
The Commission discussed thc appointment of Mayor Dale to thc Firefightcrs' and Police Officers' Retirement System
Board of Trustees.
Director of Finance Carolyn Small reported that thc Mayor may serve on these boards, but Florida Statutes does not
requiresamc and the City Code needs to be amended accordingly, and that currently thc Police and Fire Chiefs are appointed to their
respective Boards.

B. Welcome to .Sanford Sign at the Airport. The City Manager recommended that the Commission approve the
installation of a fourth Welcome to Sanford Sign, at the Airport near the rental car parking lot on Red Cleveland Boulevard, and to run
electrical wire to said sign. Further, the Airport location was selected .because the FDOT refused to allow these types of signs at the Auto
Train location, as suggested by Commissioner Lessard.
C. Route to AUtO Train .Terminal. Commissioner Williams reported that Persimmon Avenue from First Street to the
Auto Train is very unattractive, and asked if it would be appropriate to contact the nearby property owners and request that they cut and
trim the bushes,

property owners should be encouraged to cut and trim the bushes on their property, and that the City Manager contact Auto Train about

citY Commission, Sanford,' Florida Work Session 3anuary
The City Manager reported that the cost of hiring a Secretary III, including salary, and benefits, and office equipment for
the remainder of fiscal year 96/97 would be approximately $20,000.00, which would require funding from General Fund Reserves, and
that the cost of decorating the Mayor/Commissioners' office (wallpaper and furnishing) has not been priced.
Mayor Dale stated that a full time executive secretary is required to Serve the needs of the Mayor and Commission, that
this person would act as an ombudsman to the Commission; would report directly to the City Manager, and could be used for other
functions/duties as necessary, and Commissioner Williams concurred that such a position is needed.
Commissioner Eckstein reported that he could support decorating the office and purchasing new furniture, however, he
would prefer to revisit the subject of an additional Secretary III position at budget time, but that he would give consideration to hiring
a part time secretary, with no benefits, on a trial basis through July 31, 1997.
Commissioner Lyons stated that if an additional person is needed; said person should be pulled from another area
(department) within City Hall, that he is opposed to creating an additional position when other departmentS are also in need of additional
help.
The City Manager reported that management of time to the point of getting work out is critical in terms of programming
absences, that if the Commission were to authorize a new position, this person would supply additional flexibility, and that recruiting
a temporary (8 months) person would be difficult.
(The Chairman recessed the meeting for approximately ten minutes, then reconvened the meeting.)

for consumption on premises for Stooges at 2491 South Park Avenue.
Dave Rose, 606 Palmetto Avenue, Apartment ~4, appeared and reported that he represents George Curry and Larry Blair,
that both parties have a vested interest in the City Commission's decision, that Mr. Curry is the owner of the property, and Mr. Blair is
the owner of the 4COP license issued by the State of Florida. Further, they are asking the City Commission to look at the facts that have
been submitted to them: 1) the business is located within 1,500 feet of a church on Sanford Avenue, you have to cross one street, two
alleys and walk down one block before you get to the church, and you cannot see the church from Stooges, 2) the bar does not open until
3:00 o'clock P.M. on Sunday, and 3) ifa person is intoxicated they cut them off, and on occasion Mr. Curry has driven individuals home,
4) considerable expense has gone into this building, 5) this operation would bring money into the City. Mr. Rose stated that denial of
this request would cause considerable financial loss to both gentlemen. In response to questions by Commissioners Williams, Lessard,
and Mayor Dale, Mr. Rose stated that the request was submitted through the Land Development Coordinator Russ Gibson instead of
going directly to the Planning and Zoning Commission, that they did choose the location knowing that the 2,000 foot distance
requirement existed, and that they did not feel there would be a problem given the track record of other bars in the area, and that the sale
of liquor will cause the bar to be a successful business. Further, the ordinance permits the sale of alcoholic beverages for locations within
2,000 feet of a temporary church, and asked what is considered temporary.

explained that the City has the right to regulate the hours of sale of alcohol, location of the business, and health and safety regulations
concerning alcoholic beverages, and that Sanford has chosen to establish distance requirements; not all Cities have the same distance

adequate for this event, and suggested that the Commission approve the Special Event Application, with the Police Chief to determine

(AB-COP), conditioned upon approval being reviewed in two years, and that said approval be limited to
AMVETS Post #17. Clerk's Note: this location is within 2,000 feet of more than one established church,
and, therefore, does not meet the code requirements for the requested use; recommend denial.
The City Manager reported that his recommendation to deny the conditional use is contrary to the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation to approve, because the Planning and Zoning Commission was not advised by Staff that the desired
location is within 2,000 feet of a church, and that the Commission was provided a map showing the number of churches that fall within
2,000 foot distance requirement, and that in order to remain consistent with the 2,000 foot distance requirement he recommends denial
of said requested conditional use.
Commissioner Eckstein moved to approve the conditional use to sell and consume alcoholic beverages at the requested
location, based on the fact that this is a private not-for-profit organization and that it would be difficult to get another site,. Seconded
by Commissioner Williams.
