Mr. Robert questioned the ingress /egress for Oregon Ave. He asked
why would pedestrian and automobile traffic be excluded and trucks
would be allowed. Mr. Shea stated that they could not provide any
access for pedestrians from the back so they have elected to
proceed with a plan that does not have any connections to Oregon
Avenue.

Mr. Marder stated that there would not be any problems with
pedestrian access from Oregon Avenue. The existing section of
Oregon Avenue is remnant and a decrease in open space. He
suggested that the applicant could work out removing some of the
pavement and landscaping that is in front of the building. Mr.
Shea stated that they had considered taking the existing entrances
out and making them into green space,, but that affect would have no
turn arounds. They are looking into providing a 3 -point turn
around with landscaping.
Mr. Skat asked if the one entrance was sufficient, giving the
amount of parking spaces and the dense number of cars given to that
one entryway. Mr. Marder stated that the plan will be reconfigured
to more of a circular potential around the site. Mr. Shea stated
that the total number of parking spaces was 400 but since
reconfiguration, it is being proposed as 370 spaces.
Mr. Robert recommended � approval of rezone based on compatibility
with adjacent uses with Stipulation 5A to be included in the motion
(Consistent with the Seminole Towne Center PD, Planned Development
Master Plan, access to the Seminole Plaza site from Oregon Avenue
shall be strictly limited to service and delivery activities only.
Customer parking and customer vehicular circulation are -as shall be
physically and permanently separated from Oregon Avenue
ingress /egress in order to block and otherwise prohibit through
traffic circulation between Oregon Avenue and Seminole Towne
Center, specifically the North Entrance Road to the Mall..
Temporary barriers or other similar devices and /or appurtenances
such as gates shall not be considered acceptable separation.) and
based on Staff's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Skat. All in

lives within 400' of. this proposal. He asked if this proposal

requirements of the St. Johns River Water Management District.
Mr. Robert asked if the overflow of parking on Jewett Lane will be
taken care of by this site. Mr. Cold stated that they are also
designing a cross -over so people who work in the existing building
can park at the new facility. He also stated that there is a ditch
that bisects the two properties and that there will be on -site
retention.
Mr. Marder noted that Staff is looking very closely at the drainage
situation. He has provided the Mill Creek Drainage Study to the
developer. Ms. Lockridge stated that whatever is done to
accommodate the cross -over, it would have to be permitted by St.
Johns River Water Management District. Mr. Marder explained that
there is a segment of 5th that goes. from the westerly property line
of this site to the east that is substandard which has two access
points on the end. The City may rewire this segment to be brought
up to. standards. Mr. McClanahan stated that there would be 300
more cars a day on a substandard street and that this is a
situation that needs to be evaluated now. Ms. Lockridge stated
that they would surely address this and have site plan approval
based on making certain improvements. She stated that they have
had discussions with Staff and that they are working on this.
Mr. VanNess noted the noise that could be heard from the existing
facility. He stated that pages can be heard at his house. Mr.
Skat asked Mr. Cold and Ms. Lockridge to try and address the noise
problem because it would be nice to see cooperation with the
neighbors.
Mr. Skat moved for approval based on the impact being limited to
the surrounding properties and Subject to Staff's recommendations.
Mr. Garrett seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a
Preliminary Subdivision Plan in conjunction with a Conditional Use
request for property located at 601 Lake Minnie Drive in an MR -3,
Multiple Family Dwelling Residential Zoning District for the
purpose of a 77 lot single family residential subdivision with
50'x100' minimum size lots having 20 foot front, 5 foot side, and
20 foot rear yard setbacks. owner: U.S. Home Corporation;
representative: Kyle A Sanders - U.S. Home.
Kyle Sanders, U.S. Home Corporation, stated that they were asking
for approvals for a conditional use and for a preliminary
subdivision plan on Northlake . Currently, this is a 15 acre vacant
field, zoned for 300 multi - family units. He stated that they were
looking for approval of up to 77 single family lots. This property
was in the process of being approved for 288 units. The houses:
will range in size from 1000 to 2300 square feet. They have met
with Northlake Condominium owners and the owners have expressed
some concerns.
Mr. Robert asked if there were any problems with the road. Mr.
Marder stated that the developer would have to give Staff the
traffic data, but in all evidence, the traffic volume will not
trigger a traffic light. The existing density is 15 to 18. Mr.
McClanahan asked if the development would require retention on
site. . Mr. Marder stated "yes ", that the water would have to be
retained on site, pre /post. If water-is running off this property
now it will have to be corrected. This could improve the drainage
situation rather than impact it negatively.
Mr. Skat questioned the outfall to Lake Minnie Canal from the
retention pond. The engineer stated that there will be two ponds
i

with final outfall to canal which drains into Lake Minnie. He
noted that the condominium's water flows into Lake Minnie also. He
stated that all lots will be graded interior to the streets. The
retention pond will have a concrete control structure to keep the
impact on Lake Minnie and surrounding properties no greater than
the existing conditions. Part of drainage problem is due to lack
of maintenance of the ditches.
I
Bill Ferrara 753 S. Ranger Blvd., property manager for Northlake
Condominiums stated that the condo owners are not opposed nor in
f avor of this request. He stated that they would like to have this
request postponed. There are some legal questions that would
preclude U.S. Home from using the drive, and there are questions
regarding the drainage system. Mr. Ferrara stated that a lot of
problems are due to poor planning. There are 228 owners in
Northlake that are dissatisfied with what was presented by U.S.
Home at their meeting. Mr. McClanahan explained that there were
many points that Mr. Ferrara were pursuing that have nothing to do
with what the Commission is addressing now.
Mr. Marder stated that the City recognizes the situation that this
is not a City maintained street. It will have to be worked out and
the street will have to be brought up to City code. Mr. McClanahan
explained that the developers can't pull the first building permit
until they have legal access /public right -of --way. If they do not
have access they can't build a house no matter what the Planning
and Zoning Commission does.
Mr. Ferrara stated that he needs answers and would like it
postponed. Frank Dolan of U.S. Home stated that they had met with
homeowners to go over some suggestions. One suggestion was to
upgrade the Northlake lift station to City standards. He stated
that they are willing to do this if their development could hook up
the Northlake lift station, upgrade it, and donate it to the- City.
They had recommended to the homeowners that they upgrade the road
and dedicate to the City so that the City could maintain the road.
Mr. Dolan stated that there are perpetual easements all over this
piece of land. They do not have any rights to add roads. to the
condo land that the condo owners would have to maintain.
Leonard Smith of 1304 Northlake Dr. stated that there are problems
with the lift station and traffic. He stated that this is a
faceless developer. There are issues here that go beyond the
paperwork. He asked that the Commission deny this request,
tonight.
At this point Mr. Dolan stated that they were willing to table
consideration of this request.
Larry Vissar, 591 Lake Minnie Drive, Grove Counseling Center,
stated that as development has taken place, the property has gotten
wetter and wetter. In the last year or two, he has had serious
problems with his drainfield not working properly, and with
standing water. He stated that he had had a problem with part of
his house because a part of the foundation was built on pilings.
He had to rebuild the piling and shore up the foundation. The
property line between him and the developers is wet a good part of
the year with standing water on the surface. He stated that he
would appreciate the City being careful in exploring stormwater
implications and making sure it will work properly. He also noted
that it is important to have some type of barrier between the two
properties.
Mr. Skat moved to continue for 30 days. Mr. Garrett seconded.
Mr. Brooks suggested that all parties involved get together and

discuss the drainage problems. He felt that the Commission should
not prolong ruling on this request for too long and recommended
that it be continued until the next meeting. Mr. Skat suggested to
the owners and the applicants that they need one spokesrper'son each
when they come back before the Commission. Mr. Skat, Mr. Garrett,
and Mr. McClanahan in favor of. the motion. Mr. Brooks and Mr.
Robert opposed. Motion carried.

William A. Stueber, PE - Lochrane Engineering, Inc.
Bill Stueber, Lochrane Engineering, stated that they are proposing
an ESE School at the Hopper location.. He stated that all issues
with Staff except the quantity of sidewalks, have been resolved.
Students will be driven to this school. It will not be a
neighborhood walking school. Mr. McClanahan stated that at some
point this structure could be changed to something else. Mr.
Stueber stated that this is also a neighborhood that has no
sidewalks. Mr. Marder stated that the City requires the sidewalks
regardless of whether it serves a particular development It will
serve the neighborhood, and there is an elementary school nearby
where children do walk. Mr. Brooks stated that the City of Sanford
is in the progress of trying to upgrade all of its communities and
that he would hate to see-children walking in the grass. He does
not want to see this school being treated any differently.
Diane Kramer stated that she did not have any problems with
installing the sidewalks and agreed with Mr. Brooks. She stated
that they were not asking to not do something that, needs to be done
but rather asking for some leeway. She agreed that a sidewalk is
needed on Mellonville. The only road they are requesting not to
install a sidewalk is on 11th street. She stated that the School.
Board is willing to work with the City later to see if the School
Board can add one there. Mr. Robert asked if time, 6- months or a
year, could be given for the installation of a sidewalk on 11th
Street. Mr. Marder stated that the City is certainly open to this
type of situation. It was agreed by the Commission to direct Staff
to transmit something to the, City Commission requesting that the
City help with sidewalks in other areas.

SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of August 15, 1996
FAISON - GATEWAY PLAZA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Request to amend PD, Planned
Development Master Plan to modify permitted signage for Gateway Shopping Center
at Towne Center Boulevard and St. Johns Parkway.
1. Site is an existing shopping center with major signage located at the
northwest corner of the site at the corner of Towne Center Boulevard and
State Road 46, at the main entrance from Towne Center Boulevard and at the
southeast corner of the site on St. Johns Parkway.
2. The applicant requests to amend the PD, Planned Development Project Master
Plan to permit a larger and taller sign at the St. Johns Parkway location.
Specifically, the existing sign surface area is approximately four (4) square
feet. The proposed sign surface area is approximately thirty (30) square feet.
3. The Gateway shopping center has approximately 200,000 square feet.
Shopping centers of that size that are located within a GC -2, General
Commercial Zoning District would be allowed up to 350 square feet of
detached sign surface area.
4. Recommend approval of the requested amendment to the Gateway Master
Plan to permit a larger sign on St. Johns Parkway as set forth in the materials
submitted by the applicant based on the general reasonableness of the request
in relationship to permitted signage for typical shopping centers of a similar
size.
JACOBY DEVELOPMENT - Request a rezoning to PD, Planned Development from GC-
2, General Commercial for property located at the north end of Seminole Towne
Center adjacent to Interstate 4.
1. The site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and is vacant at the present time.
Site includes approximately 6.8 acres. The site fronts the "ring road" of
Seminole Towne Center Mall. The site's northerly boundary also fronts the
remaining segment of Oregon Avenue which connects to State Road 46.
Planning Recommendations - Page 1
2. The Seminole Plaza At Seminole Towne Center Conceptual Site Plan is
considered to be a Master Plan for the purpose of this Planned Development
Project Plan review. The Plan provides for approximately 77,000 square feet
of retail sales and service use with almost 400 parking spaces provided.
In a letter dated August 8, 1996 from Professional Engineering Consultants,
Inc. the applicant requests special area and dimensional requirements involving
open space, building setbacks, parking space size, landscape area, curb
radius, sign requirements, and fire lane pavement striping. Within the context
of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the applicant has the ability and option to
customize any and all such requirements within the PD, Planned Development
Zoning classification.
3. The following stipulation is contained in Exhibit "2" of the Seminole Properties
(Mail) PD, Planned Development Conditions of Approval dated April 9, 1990:
"3. Existing Oregon Avenue - In order to prevent unplanned, cut -
through traffic patterns detrimental to traffic circulation in and around
the proposed development, the intersection of Oregon Avenue at State
Road 46 in existence at the date of this writing shall be closed.
However, if closing of Oregon Avenue's existing intersection with State
Road 46 is not accomplished, access to the Holiday Inn (Exist. Hotel
(site in question)) and Stuckey's restaurant (Exist. Retail) parcels from
State Road 46 shall be limited to the Proposed Oregon Avenue (Towne
Center Boulevard) via a proposed connector road (North Lake Road
adjacent to the ACI project) between Parcel Number 2, Retail and Tract
D -1, Lake (retention pond) in such manner then such parcels shall be
prevented from utilizing the existing Oregon Avenue for ingress /egress
to State Road 46.... "
The intent of the above language is to prevent a cut - through type of access
from State Road 46 to the Mall similar to that proposed by the proposed
Seminole Plaza Master Plan. Oregon Avenue's intersection with State Road 46
and proximity to the Interstate 4 off -ramp reflect a substandard situation that
does not meet access point spacing requirements. As such, use of that
intersection must be discouraged to the maximum extent. Therefore, in order
to maintain the conditions and stipulations adopted for the Mall, the proposed
Seminole Plaza Master Plan will need to be modified to prevent traffic from
traveling through the Seminole Plaza development from Oregon Avenue to the
Mall's ring road.
4. This property is not contained in the City of Sanford's Comprehensive Plan.
It is being rezoned in compliance with the Seminole County Comprehensive
Plan pursuant to the Joint City- County Planning Agreement which permits the
City to Zone and Rezone property consistent with the County's Plan. The
subject property is designated High Intensity Planned Development and
generally provides for similar land uses and intensities as the City's 1 -4 High
Intensity land use designation.
Planning Recommendations - Page 2
5. Recommend approval of the PD, Planned Development entitled Seminole Plaza
at Seminole Towne Center based on compatibility with adjacent uses and
future land use anticipated for the immediate area with the following
stipulation:
a. Consistent with the Seminole Towne Center PD, Planned Development
Master Plan, access to the Seminole Plaza site from Oregon Avenue
shall be strictly limited to service and delivery activities only. Customer
parking and customer vehicular circulation areas shall be physically and
permanently separated from Oregon Avenue ingress /egress in order to
block and otherwise prohibit through traffic circulation between Oregon
Avenue and Seminole Towne Center, specifically the North Entrance
Road to the Mall. Temporary barriers or other similar devices and/or
appurtenances such as gates shall not be considered acceptable
separation.
ARNOLD - Request conditional use permit to establish a residential care facility on

or a community residential home in a multi - family zone or within 500 feet of
a single family boundary."
