community pool for the use of Sanford residents. He urged the commission to give serious consideration and utmost
priority. The pool, to be located at Seminole High School, would be used by students, by day care centers, for swim meets,
and by the hospital for physical therapy. City Manager Simmons stated that the City and the Seminole County School
Board had previously drafted an interlocal agreement which dealt with the funding of the pool and specified the hours and
days of the week that were to be controlled by the two capital investors: the City and Seminole High School. Mr.
Ackerman is convinced that the School Board wilt financially support a community pool project, whether or not in
Sanford. He recalled that in 1991, the heart of the community was broken because the pool project went down in flames.
Members of the community have approached him indicating an interest in working on the pool project again but got
burned in 1991 and do not want to see the same thing happen again. He stated that it would be a crushing blow to the
community to see it go down in flames again.

Citizen Participation.
Lynn Stogner, 2900 S. Park Avenue, Sanford, Florida, appeared and distributed, read and reviewed information,
regarding West End Music Fair and Stanlee Smith' s Special Event which took place on March 14, 1997 from 9:00 P.M.
until 1:30 A.M. He voiced complaints that he received numerous calls from Pinecrest Crimewatch members regarding the
loud noise from the event, drag activity, underage drinking, and expressions of vulgarity and profanity. Also addressed was
the use of only two police officers for security.
Mr, Jim Hattaway, Attorney with Hutchison, Mamele, and Coover, 230 N. Park Avenue, 148 N. Elliott Avenue,
represented Tsunami Beach Club and reported steps being taken tO prevent these activities: the bartender who sold the
alcoholic beverage to a minor was fired; the only alcoholic beverage permitted outside will be bottled beer; they will hire
more police officers; anyone using profanity over the public address system wilI not be paid for their performance; the
police department has no record of drag sales, but having more police officers present should discourage th/s; to better
control the noise they will move the stage northerly toward the long row of storefronts and possibly construct some type of
noise baffle on the roof of the shopping center; and events held outside will end by 11:00 P.M.
Stanlee Smith, 3220 Hyder, Deltona, owner of the plaza, publicly apologized to the citizens for the problems .
caused by the concert and offered solutions: that the next concert will be held indoors because there is not enough time to
make the changes prior to it, but beginning with the concerts on April 4, 5, and 6 the performers will have clauses written
into their contracts that they will not be paid if they use profanity; that they want to hire a minimum of four police officers
for each event and want them to bring a police car with them for more visibility.
Barry Cunningham, General Manager, Tsunami Beach Club and West End Music Fair, spoke regarding the events,
problems, and proposed changes.
Mayor Dale responded the Commission will decide what action to take in the future based on the outcome of the
two Special Event permits already issued to the Tsunami Beach Club. Certain conditions must be met by Tsunami to
insure the problems do not recur.
Bill Colbert, City Attorney, commented that the Commission has already approved Special Event applications for
three events, one of which has occurred. The applicant made voluntary concessions which do not need action by the
Commission. The Commission has the authority to enforce the existing noise ordinance. The Commission has the
authority beyond the permitted events to decide whether to grant conditional uses and impose conditions in the future
beyond these three events. As it currently exists the Commission does not have jurisdiction over the remaining two events.

Commissioner Lyons suggested the Commission scrutinize future Special Event applications, and that Mayor Dale,
as the police department liaison, get with Police ChiefDillard to address situations regarding special events, particularly
noise enforcement. Mayor Dale concurred.
Todd Bowen, resident at 1920 Palmetto Avenue, appeared and reported that Palmetto Avenue, between 13th and
20th Streets is being used as a cut thru. He expressed great concern and cited the danger of thin traffic due to the many
children who live in the immediate area. ChiefDillard is to spot check the area for possible traffic violations.
Harold Christensen, resident at 1718 Magnolia Avenue, appeared and reported that Magnolia Avenue, between
13th and 18th Streets, is being used for thru traffic and is dangerous. He proposed a four-way stop sign between Magnolia
Avenue and 13th Street and Magnolia Avenue and 18th Street.
Further, Mr. Christensen reported illegal room rental at 205 East 18th Street owned by Bradley Keith and his
mother. There is a shed in back that is an apartment and they rent a trailer in the back. Possible code enforcement and
ordinance violations have been reported but Dan Florian, Building Inspector, said there are not enough teeth in our codes .
to cite the violations. Children at the residence brag about not having to pay a water bill because their brother is a police
officer. Upon investigating, Mr. Christensen discovered the bill was more than $400.00 last year and it was set aside.
Also, cars come and go every 10 to 15 minutes. Mr. Keith reportedly makes extensive repairs to vehicles and is welding at
all hours of the night.
ChiefDillard is to spot check the area for traffic situations. Mayor Dale directed City Manager Simmons to ask
staff to handle complaint of code enforcement and ordinance violations.
