Development (Ordinance No. 3193) to PRO, Parks, Recreation and Open Space. City of Sanford-property owner.
Russ Gibson, Director and Antonia Gerli, Principal Planner-City of Sanford, representatives.
Present to speak in favor of the rezone were Jeffrey Leukel, Henry Sweet and John Miller. They would like to
have the entire property zoned PRO so it will remain consistent with its historical use as a park.
Present to speak in opposition of the rezone were Mike Hoening and Diana Mincer. Mr. Hoening stated the
original plan was to construct a public safety complex on the site and if the property is rezoned as PRO,
improvements would be required. They both indicated a park is not the best use of this property.
Mr. Yolk moved to recommend to the City Commission that the existing zoning of Planned Development remain
based on the fact that the rezoning request was not accompanied by the customary site development plan and there
were no plans to develop any part of the site as a park. Mr. Yosefian seconded. Motion carried 4-1 (Mr. Kutz
against) .
