Sewer will be going back into Hidden Lakes that will tie into an existing force main. Mr. Harling stated that they are in agreement with the City's recommendations. Mr. Robert questioned whether the remainder of the easement running west, a little bit north, will stag open because that part of the easement in the subdivision is almost extinguished. Mr. Harling stated that the intent is to work with the adjacent property owner and basically vacate it. There is a need for a utility easement. The property to the west will vacate its rights in the easement to the property to the east. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH G, 1997 PAGE 2 Mr. McClanahan questioned the sign-off of the property owners. Mr. Gibson stated that the City has letters of authorization from all three property owners authorizing this representative to pursue this request. Mr. Skat questioned the drainage basin between the two lakes. Mr. Herling noted that the drainage basically goes to the north to the lake, that lake outf alls around between the two subdivisions and goes into the lake adjacent to the school, which then outfalls through a wetland to the south and makes its way to Lake Mary Blvd., and into a new box culvert which is the ultimate outfall. Mr. Stogner questioned the egress and ingress and if there would be any other roads. Mr. Haaling stated that there would be egress and ingress only on Lake Mary Blvd. A driveway has been provided for Loch Lowe going over to the school. Mr. Valerino questioned the lot sizes. Mr. Healing stated that the lots to the north and west are slightly larger than 50x100. There are slightly larger lots because quite a few of them have cul -de- sacs creating pie shaped lots. There are different sizes, but on a matter of magnitude, the lots are 10 smaller than the adjacent neighbors. Barry Hershone, 2325 Roanoke Ct., Lake Mary, president of Pineview Academy, stated that he owns property to the east and firmly and completely supports the project.

The parking will not be on the street and the auctions would be held in the evenings, typically from 7:00 to 9 :00. Theodore Davis, 615 E. 3rd Street, stated that he is concerned as to how much disturbance this will cause. There are vagrants and prostitutes. He asked if the fence would be an enhancement to deter vagrants and anyone else hanging out there; or on the other hand, would it cause problems. He asked how often would the auctions take place. Mr. Harbin stated that the fence will enhance the neighborhood as opposed to encouraging additional vagrants. Security lights will be installed. Auctions will be held one time a week. Mr. Davis asked if there should be problems arising from the use of this property, will the owners be amenable to help with those problems. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 6, 1997 PAGE 3 To speak in favor of the request was Chris Pilcher, 2300 Mellonville Ave. He stated that nothing more would be done at this location than ghat has been done with it for 50 years.

Mr. Paonessa stated that they are currently using a fuel tank that is off -site. Mrs. Stairs asked that the letter from Steve cook be made a part of the Minutes. Mr. Paonessa stated that the tank will hold 4,000 gallons of fuel. They use approximately 3,000 gallons a week and it will be filled every week and a half. Alamo rents 400 to 500 cars a week MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 6, 1997 PAGE 4 during summer. Currently, they rent about 260 cars a week. Jeanine McKennon, winter Park, stated that she is a consultant with a law firm and is representing Alamo at the Sanford airport. She stated that Alamo's lease at the Airport is such that if any contamination occurs, it is Alamo's liability. The tank exceeds any regulatory standards currently in place. The tank is critical in expanding their business. Steve Coover, 3825 Beardall Ave,. attorney for the Airport Authority, stated that Alamo's operation to the Airport is important. They have been operating at a disadvantage for several months. He concurs with the comments that this tank exceeds all standards that he is aware of. The company is sufficient enough to stand behind any problems that may occur. Robert Brooks, 3300 Ohio Avenue, stated that he lives adjacent from Alamo. The tank has been fastened to the building. Mar. Brooks stated that there was never a building permit issued or a blueprint ever put into effect regarding this gas tank. He stated that he called the Fire Marshall and the Fire Marshall red- tagged the tank because PVC was corning out of the top of it when it should have been galvanized. Alamo is also pumping oil. They are spraying the engines off with a hose directly over the battery which goes directly into this pristine area. Mr. Brooks entered a letter into the record. He stated that he would like the issues addressed as to how we end up with a 4,000 gallon tank and oil tanks that are currently being used in an area where they are not zoned for without a conditional use permit. Mr. Brooks is also concerned with the glaring lights at night. Mr. Gibson stated that he had explained to Mr. Brooks that Alamo was not given any permission to operate -that tank. As far as any permits to construct that tank, that goes to the Building Department. James E. Smith, 1205 Onora Road, which lives directly across from this facility, spoke in opposition. He entered photographs into the record that he thought would graphically show the commission their concerns. There are oil tanks being store inside a building. He asked why would an oil tanker truck come into this facility 9:00 at night. Mr. Smith stated that since he has lived in the area, the Airport has had two instances with their fuel storage; one, lightning hit it, and two, it sprung a big leak. Mr. McClanahan stated that he didn't see any reason that the Commission shouldn't postpone action and suggested that one option could be to put it in a category awaiting the correction or information or input to this Commission from City Staff and all pertinent people so that we would have all the information before we act upon this. Harvey Smith stated that he lives across from Alamo and that he has called Steve Cook three time and has not been able to talk to hint. He stated that he has talked to Mr. Cook's secretary and she drove by the property at night and said that no one can live with this. You can't sleep. Mr. Cook and Alamo have promised to take care of the lights. They are turning most of them off at night. He wants to make sure the tank is safe and also concerned with the runoff. Mr. Marder stated that the water runs along the pavement into a water retention area. The City has not approved the engineering on this site, it has not received a certificate of completion because there are several items in need of completion. However, NIT NUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH G, 1997 PAGE 5 the stormwater system is designed such that the water will drain off of the pavement into some retention ponds. Mr. Gibson stated that he talked with the Professional Engineer regarding this site. He did confirm that Alamo did respond to engineering concerns, there were numerous issues and some issues did deal with drainage. Alamo did met those criteria to the satisfaction of our Engineer and he subsequently signed off on it. Bill Smith, 1225 E. onora, stated that Alamo is on a hill and he is not sure the water drainage is to the east. Two years ago there was a problem on the south side of the Airport flooding out the neighbors. As the Airport grows, this environmental issue will be a big concern. Mr. Paonessa stated he has blue prints that shows that the City has approved three above ground tanks that will be stored inside a building. Regarding the oil, they have not drained any oil. There is no spillage. He stated that he would have to take a look at the drainage issue. There is foliage along the fence and the sprinkler system is on which may cause some of the water. He stated that he has tried to work with the neighbors regarding the lights. He has turned all of them off except for two. He will try to turn some of the lights away from the homes. Mr. Robert Brooks stated that the Fire Marshall told him that the way the tank is installed it is unsafe. The tank wasn't suppose to be there until a conditional use permit was granted. As far as any of the other agencies that gage him information, as far as the blueprints that he saw, there was no tank on the blueprints and thats what they told him at the office today. why was it signed off by the Building Inspector when it wasn't correct to begin with. How can we trust the people who are in charge of doing these things when they haven't done their jobs. once it is there, we are stuck with it. Mr. Robert moved on approval per Staff's recommendations. Mr. Dyal seconded. Mr. McClanahan stated that if the tank did not exist at this point, the request would still be the same. our decision is whether to approve the conditional use subject to conforming with all other rules and regulations. Mr. Stogner stated that he is very concerned with all the other issues from the neighbors:. He feels theree are environmental issues and tests should be done. These complaints should be addressed. Mr. Skat stated that he would lik to see the City work with the airport in possibly sinkin sdme wells and hav i g ng them monitored because of the proximity of residential to the industrial area. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use for property at 2921 Orlando Drive, Suites 220 & 230 of Sanford Plaza located in a GC- 2, General commercial Zoning District, for the purpose of alcoholic beverage sales for consumption on premises, 4 COP.

Mr. Melvin stated that the northernmost bays would accommodate smaller trucks, 40 trucks. Mr. Melvin noted that Staff has recommended a 6' concrete block wall. This will create visibility problems at the office areas. He requested a waiver on the block gall and an increase in the landscaping. Mr. Marder stated that the LDR requires that we have this type of separation from residential areas which are located to the east. It is imperative that this area of industrial use be separated visually from the area across the street. Mr. Marder stated that the City is requiring that a sidewalk be along Mellonville and Cornwall. Some of it could be deferred. The City would allow them to ]wild the portion of the sidewalk that they need to go between their parking, the truck area and the entry area. Then a year later, come back and build the rest of it. Mr. Dyal moved for approval as presented. Seconded by Mr. McClanahan. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Stogner noted that we don't need to hear opposition if we can't address their issues.

Site is Zoned SR -1, Single Family Residential and is vacant at the present time. The property includes approximately 38 acres. The Sterling Woods Master Plan depicts 123 single family dwelling units for an overall density of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. 2. Site is adjacent to existing single family dwellings in subdivisions Zoned SR -1. Site is also adjacent to a private school Zoned SR -1 and vacant land Zoned AG, Agricultural that is predominantly wetlands. 3. The Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the site and immediately surrounding area as Low Density Residential - Single Family with a maximum density of six (6) dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of 3.2 dwelling units per acres is consistent with the future land use designation. 4. Regarding the adequacy of public facilities and services, there is no significant change from conventional SR -1 Zoning to PD Zoning. Central water and sewer services are available with adequate capacity as is reclaimed water via a new distribution line under construction through a power line easement near the site. Lake Mary Boulevard has a capacity of over 34,000 trips per day at a level of service D and is able to provide adequate service for the proposed project which is projected to generate 1,230 daily trips. In 1996 there were 22,304 average daily trips on the segment of Lake Mary Boulevard between St Lawrence Drive and Ridge Drive. 5. The site's ingress and egress includes a series of easements from Lake Mary Boulevard to the main body of the site. The applicant has submitted documentation to the City that depicts the ability to access the property and the ability to locate utilities within such easements. The applicant has stated in writing that title documentation will be provided to the City to attest to the perpetual use and maintenance of such easements. Planning Recommendations - Page 1 6. Recommend approval of the request to rezone from SR -1, Single Family Residential to PD, Planned Development based on consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, similarity of uses already established in the immediate area and adequacy of facilities and services. Further recommend that the following conditions and stipulations be incorporated into the rezoning ordinance: a. The project shall be developed substantially in accordance with the information, data, plans and commitments contained in the Master Plan entitled "Sterling Woods Master Plan dated January 6, 1997" and supplemental information unless otherwise directed by the recommendations enumerated below and as may be amended from time to time as provided by procedures set forth in the City's Land Development Regulations. b. City acceptance of access to the subject property prior to recording of final plat. AAGAARD - HARBIN - Request to rezone from MR -3, Multiple Family Residential to PD, Planned Development for property located at 307 South Pine Avenue. 1. Site is Zoned MR -3, Multiple Family Residential and includes approximately 1.2 acres. The property is basically a complex of commercial /industrial buildings that constitute a lawfully existing nonconforming use with nonconforming structures. The site and surrounding neighborhood is heavily treed including several specimen live oaks. 2. Pursuant to the Aagaard- Harbin Warehouse Master Plan received on February 5, 1997 by the City of Sanford Department of Engineering and Planning, the applicant proposes to utilize the site for several uses including contracting, storage, office and indoor auction. In addition to use of existing buildings, a proposed six foot tall masonry "fence" is proposed to enclose an outdoor storage and parking area on the south side of the site. 3. The immediate area includes various single family dwellings that are Zoned MR- 3, Multiple Family Residential. 4. The site's easterly property line is coincidental to an open drainage -way known as Pump Branch. The property appears to be the only portion of Pump Branch that is not piped. This irregular feature is approximately fifteen to eighteen feet deep and broadens out to approximately fifteen feet from the corner of the south easternmost building corner. The City's stormwater program contemplates extensive modifications of this drainage system in conjunction with diverting stormwater that is presently concentrated in the Magnolia Avenue /First Street area. The City will need to obtain easements across the site in question as well as other neighboring properties. The specific extent of such easements and a general design concept of future drainage improvements in this location are unknown at this time. Such details will become known only after preliminary engineering concepts are developed by the City and subsequently approved by the St. Johns River Water Management District. Planning Recommendations - Page 2 5. Pursuant to Schedule J, Landscape, Buffer and Tree Requirements, the minimum separation of commercial uses (including proposed nonresidential uses within PD Zoning) from residential uses shall include a building setback of 35 feet, a buffer of 10 feet and a Type 1 Visual Screen. A Type 1 Visual Screen means a cement block or masonry wall, 6 feet in height with stucco or another similar decorative finish facing the abutting use. The ten foot buffer is basically a physical separation distance that can be utilized for landscape and access. The required buffer cannot be utilized for parking. 6. The question is one of policy regarding how to utilize existing commercial /industrial buildings /property within a substantially residential neighborhood. The present use of the property is primarily for storage. The proposed use involves building construction and contracting activities as well as an auction. 7. Recommend conditional approval of the request to rezone from MR -3, Multiple Family Residential to PD, Planned Development based on similarity of proposed use with existing use of property with the following conditions and stipulations being incorporated in the rezoning ordinance: a. The project shall be developed substantially in accordance with the information, data, plans and commitments contained in the Master Plan entitled "Aagaard- Harbin Warehouse Master Plan" and supplemental information unless otherwise directed by the recommendations enumerated below and as may be amended from time to time as provided by procedures set forth in the City's Land Development Regulations. b. The proposed Aagaard- Harbin Warehouse Master Plan shall be utilized to identify general uses and existing buildings on the site. The Master Plan shall not be construed as a Development Plan and shall not be utilized for permitting purposes. C. All activities shall be conducted indoors or within areas that are wholly enclosed within walled areas. Outdoor storage of vehicles and related contractor's equipment shall not be visible from adjacent property. Further, outdoor storage of any and all building materials, contractors supplies and /or miscellaneous objects of any kind shall not be visible from adjacent property, d. Manufacturing, fabrication, assembly or other similar activities shall be specifically prohibited. e. Parking shall be on site. Customer vehicles of the proposed auction, service vehicles and equipment are specifically prohibited from parking in public right -of -way adjacent to the site. e. Specimen type live oaks shall be preserved. f. Improvements adjacent to and in close proximity to Pump Branch shall be coordinated with the City's stormwater management program. In this Planning Recommendations - Page 3 regard, the owner shall cooperate with and provide reasonable drainage easements to the City. KING HELIE_PLANNING GROUP - Request to amend the Northgate Planned Development Master Plan for property located at State Road 46 and Rinehart Road. 1. Site is Zoned PD, Planned Development, is vacant at the present time and includes 18.2 acres. The site includes that portion of the Northgate Master Plan located north of St. Johns Parkway. Tract 7 of the existing Northgate Master Plan is not included in the proposed master plan amendment and is excluded from numerical data noted below. 2. The existing Northgate Master Plan provides for a total of 117,125 square feet of commercial building. The proposed East Northgate Master Plan amendment provides for an additional 59,575 square feet or a total of 176,700 square feet. 3. Floor area ratios or FAR's depict the percentage of building coverage upon land. Typical coverage of single story commercial development ranges between 20 and 35 percent. FAR's on the existing Northgate PD Master Plan are 7, 9 and 11 percent and are considered to be unusually low. The proposed amended East Northgate Master Plan depicts more typical FAR's in the range of 20 to 27 percent. 4. The existing Northgate Master Plan was approved prior to the City's adoption of concurrency. Therefore, the existing development approval for 117,125 square feet is "grandfathered." The additional 59,575 square feet will be subject to concurrency test. It should be noted that all development projects submit concurrency data at the time of site plan or subdivision plan approval. Further, concurrency facility capacities in the immediate area of the site are considered to be adequate for anticipated development intensities for the foreseeable future. 5. If the East Northgate Master Plan is approved, all conditions and stipulations previously adopted and agreed upon as part of the Northgate Master Plan shall remain in full force and effect upon Parcel 7. 6. Recommend approval of the request to amend the Northgate Master Plan per the proposed East Northgate Master Plan based on consistency of proposed floor area ratios with typical floor area ratio standards and subject to essentially the same conditions and stipulations that are presently in effect upon the development.
