The first item to be heard by the Commission was the consideration of the Revised Site Plan for Invacare, a proposed 100,000 sq.ft. assembly facility located at 699 Aero Lane in a RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District. (Site plan for an 80,000 sq. ft. building approved by Planning and Zoning Commission on December 19, 1996) Property Owner: Michael R. Sulpizio. Representative: Christopher Allard, V.P. - Engineer: Merwan Nalme, P.E., HWH, Inc. Merwan Naime, HWH, Inc., was present and stated that Invacare was considering an 80,000 square foot building with 115 more parking spaces than what is required, originally. This will be an assembly building and would not need that many parking spaces. He stated that the deviation from the original proposal included expansion of the building. The amount of impervious area will stay the same because they are shrinking the parking lot. The width of the building will stag the same, but the length will be 80' longer because of two bags that are being added, 40' each. Mr. Naime stated that as of now they are proposing 226 parking spaces. Mr. Skat moved for approval based on Staff's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Stagner. All in favor. Motion carried.

Generally, the city would be looking at on site improvements where possible. Mr. Gibson stated that there could be a 5' landscape strip on 1st Street and where possible along Elm Avenue. Mr. Lane stated that he would rather beautify the City's land than take 5' on 1st and 5' on Elm which in turn would make the car lot smaller.

She stated that the neighbors have signed a petition opposing this business. concerns included ugliness, and noise at all hours of the night. She stated that this business looks like a dump.

Helen Stairs, Chairperson ii F Director Planning Development TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of February 20, 1997 MARY GEORGE - LANE AUTOMOTIVE - Request conditional use approval to permit automobile dealer sales for property Zoned SC -3, Special Commercial located at 317 West First Street. Site is Zoned SC -3, Special Commercial and includes a small existing building with parking. 2. Various elements of the existing site appear to be nonconforming including but not limited to the lack of landscape around paved areas. Use of the site for automobile sales was discontinued for a period of approximately one year. Therefore, the site lost its status as a lawfully existing nonconforming use which requires that a conditional use permit be obtained for use and/or expansion of a use or structure. 3. Recommend approval of a conditional use to permit automobile sales subject to and contingent upon staff approval of a site plan that, to the extent feasible, will include landscape and related site improvements. Such improvements must be approved and in place prior to the issuance of an occupational license for automobile sales. MARINE MASTERS INC. - Request conditional use approval to permit boat repair and service for property Zoned GC -2, General Commercial located at 520 Maple Avenue. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and is substantially developed with metal building(s) that appear to significantly cover the property in excess of the City's maximum coverage requirements which are 35% in a GC -2 Zone. There appear to be several uses taking place on the property. 2. Boat storage, repair and display activities are presently located on the south portion of the property in a partially covered outdoor area adjacent to Sixth Street. 3. There appear to be several nonconformities including but not limited to building setbacks, chain link fence within front yard building setbacks, lack of landscape and generally nonconforming stormwater and related engineering criteria. Also, parking appears to be dependent upon on- street spaces which would require a right -of -way use permit approved by the City Commission. 4. Recommend that the requested conditional use to establish boat service and repair be tabled until site plan and engineering criteria are submitted and approved including the resolution of building setback, coverage, landscape, fencing, stormwater, parking and other criteria and nonconforming situations. Further, should the Planning and Zoning Commission subsequently approve the conditional use in question, an occupational license shall not be issued unless and until all improvements per an approved development plan are in place and complete. PERTREE CONSTRUCTORS INC. - THE CODING EDGE - Request dimensional variance for parking drive lane width for property Zoned RI -1, Restricted Industrial located on Central Park Drive. Site is Zoned RI -1, Restricted Industrial, includes approximately 1.75 acres and is vacant at the present time. The drainage ditch known as Smith Canal is located on the north side of the property. The property fronts Central Park Drive. 2. The applicant proposes to construct a 22 foot drive width between parking spaces which would require a variance of two feet from the standard 24 foot wide drive. The applicant has requested this variance in order to save existing natural vegetation, in particular numerous trees that exist upon the property. 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission granted a dimension variance involving building setbacks for property located in the general vicinity of the site in question, more particularly in the northwest quadrant of Central Park Drive and Coastline Road. The justification for that dimensional variance was to save existing trees. 4. Recommend approval of the request to construct a 22 foot wide drive in order to save existing trees based on similar variances granted for similar purposes in the general vicinity of the site in question.
