original request, he had conversations dealing directly with FAA
regarding height variances. During these conversations he found
that the tower could go as high as 260 1 , in total height. Mr.

Mrs. Stairs questioned the residential wells in the area. Mr.
Brinton stated that homes along Upsala Road on the southside had
some problems with contamination in their wells and there were some
suspicion that the contamination came from the old County landfill.
Pesticides had entered into the residential wells. One monitoring
well will be placed between the old landfill and the residential
wells with the City to monitor as to any contaminants being
transferred. Mrs. Stairs, asked if the residents are utilizing
these wells. Mr. Brinton stated that some filters are on the
wells and that the contamination was resolved to the resident's
satisfaction. Mr. Brinton stated that the study didn't discover
the contamination, that the residents brought it to the attention
of the water Management District. Mr. Brinton stated that he is
recommending that two water wells be put in 2 years before
construction.
Mr. Robert moved on approval based on the maintenance of two
monitoring wells as set forth in the BFA Study submitted by the
Applicant. Mr. Dyal seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to

Tribes Mission; representative: Bob Meisel.
Scott Ross, 1000 E. First St., Sanford, stated. that New Tribes
Mission purchased the. Epstein Building and proposes to start a
school for New Tribes Mission students. The need for additional
classrooms, has warranted an addition. on the front of the building
that covers most of the paved area. The request is so that the
front of the building could be moved to within 5' of the property
line. There will be no sidewalks or curbs. New Tribes Mission is
planning off street parking.
Mr. McClanahan stated that it is different and refreshing to
receive letters from all neighbors endorsing a request. He asked
that the letters be entered into the record. Mr. Robert stated
that he liked New Tribes Mission's letter addressing all the
standards and stated that it makes a good case.
Mr. Valerino moved to approve based on Staff ' s re-cormmndations and
the presentation presented by the wEitne.s.s. Mr. Dyal seconded. All

Inc., Lessee; representative: Charles J. Volk.
Joe Bambridge, 531 N. Palmetto Avenue, Sanford, was present for
representation. Mrs. Stairs asked what has changed as far as the
fencing. Mr. Bambridge stated that the first drawing showed 50% of
area had chain link fencing. After considerable thought as to the
aesthetics of the area, it was determined that another type of
fencing would be more suitable: They decided on the white, plastic
picket fencing as was recommended by City Staff at the first
meeting.

require. Site plan approval, what this commission is in charge of,

needs to be subject to City Commission approval of the expansion of
the area. Mr Bambridge stated that it seems strand as far as
sealing the entire parking lot. Mr. Marder stated that Staff is
recommending the entire lot be sealed based on the expansion, and
their use of the area. Mr. Robert asked for the boundary lines of
area to be sealed. Mr. Marder stated that it is Palmetto east, the
parking lot basically to their northerly building setback, not
including Harbour one Place parking lot. Under their franchise
agreement, it is appropriate for them to restripe and seal the
area.
Mr. Dyal asked Mr Bambridge if the only parking places. they would
have are directly to the left and the rest of the area will be
reserved for people bringing boats in and out and that Monroe
Harbour retail customers will park on the north side of the
property. Mr. larder stated that the customers. will drive into the
parking spaces that are provided in front of the sales area.
Parking has been added on the north side also. Mr. Bambridge
stated that inside the. fence will not be for parking, it will be
for boat display. 7 through 14 parking spaces already exist and
they will be adding 1 through 6 spaces that they will be losing in
front of the building. There will be a change in handicap parking.
They are adding two additional handicap spots:.
Mr. Dyal asked who is responsible for the maintenance of the boat
ramps. Mr. harder stated that this is the City's responsibility.
The City has been placed in a circumstance to fix the ramp and
breakwater. Mr. Dyal asked if Mr. Volk had any right of financial
gain for the use of the boat ramp. Mr. Marder stated that Mr. Volk
will not make any money on boat launching. Mr. Volk has an
agreement on that area and all the area around Palmetto where
people walk. Mr. Dyal stated that Mr. Volk is not the only one
that benefits financially f rom the us-e of the ramp. He stated that
he would feel more supportive of billing everyone one the Marina on
a pro -rata basis. Mr. Volk should pay a portion because he will
benefit from a portion, but not pay for the whole thing.
Mr Robert moved for approval with the, sealing of the. area enclosed
within the fence. Seconded by Mr. Dyal for discussion. Mr.
McClanahan asked if this area is part of the lease agreement
between Lake Monroe Harbour and the City of Sanford. Mr. Marder
stated that there is a lease and a franchise. Mr . McClanahan asked
how will the City bill other entities that don't have any
connection with the lease.. Mr. Dyal stated that if Mr . Volk is the
only one entitled to the use., and that being what he is financially
responsible for, he has a right to close the boat ramp. Mr Marder
stated, that the city has certain powers of the lessee. It is in
the City's agreement between the City and Lake Monroe Harbour,
franchise or lease, and there is a great benefit primarily derived
from this activity. It is not too much to ask, after 25 years,
based on this expansion. The parking lot is a franchise. Mr.
Bambridge stated that there is a minute percentage of when they use
the ramp. He stated that he didn't believe that the boat ramp
customers are a large user of fuel. In opposition to the motion
was Mr. Valerino. All others in favor. Motion carried..
Next on the Agenda was the consideration of the. Final Plat for
Sanford Central Park, Phase. II, a replat of Lots B-12, 18 and parts

Loren Howard was present. Mr. Marder stated that Staff has been
reviewing this item for a number of months with an attempt to
obtain engineering information that is necessary. we are at the
stage of an improvement plan having construction drawing on an
existing situation in terms of there being existing streets and
existing utilities. Staff hasn't been able to obtain the
information that shows that the improvements will be brought up up
to City standards. on the plat "dedicate to the public ", so we
have a difference between what is on the proposed plat and, what is
in the improvement plan. Detailed engineering. is what is needed.
Other issues include curbing, drainage, and roadways:. Mr. Howard
stated that they are not going to post a bond with the City to have
the plat recorded now. when they started out two years agv, they
said they would bring everything in there up to standards. If the
City doesn't accept it, it will be kept private. Mr. Howard stated
that one problem is that they are not able to get definitive
direction as to what City Staff wants them to do.
Mr. McClanahan made a motion that Staff and applicant get together
and resolve all this and continue this, item until the next meeting.
The next time it cores be -fore this Board, Staff and the applicant
are to be in agreement. Mr. Valerino seconded. Mr. Robert asked
if the City wanted written specifications as to what is to be done.

SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of April 18, 1996
BRIGHT STAR TOWER AND CONSULTING, INC. - Request conditional use approval
to permit a communication tower of 250 feet in height for property Zoned MI -2,
Medium Industrial, located on Albright Road.
1. Site includes approximately three acres, is vacant and is Zoned MI -2, Medium
Industrial.
2. The applicant proposes to construct a guyed communication tower (three guy
wires) that will be 250 feet in height. In addition, a 15' x 25' equipment shed
will be located adjacent to the tower.
3. Adjacent uses include crankshaft rebuilding, miscellaneous manufacturing and
warehousing, tractor trailer storage, a junkyard, an occupied mobile home that
appears to be utilized for security purposes and vacant land. In general, the
area west of Airport Boulevard is zoned for industrial development. The tower
is proposed to be located approximately 700 feet from existing single family
residential uses located on the east side of Airport Boulevard.
4. An existing communication tower of the lattice -self- supporting type is located
approximately one mile northwest of site on Narcissus Road. That tower is
approximately 200 feet in height.
5. On January 4, 1996 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a similar
request on this site for a 215 foot tower.
6. Recommend approval of request to establish a 250 foot high guyed
communication tower thereby expanding upon a previously approved tower
of 215 feet in height based on existing nonresidential character of immediate
area surrounding site and prior approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Planning Recommendations - Page t
NOTE: The following request for conditional use approval was considered and tabled
by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 22, 1994. The Expressway
Authority has provided additional information which is attached. The following
recommendation is based on such additional information.
SEMINOLE COUNTY EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY - BRINTON - Request conditional
use approval to permit expressway - related facilities within a well -field protection
zone for property located near the intersection of Hughey Street and Oregon Avenue.
1. The site within the Sanford City limits includes the northerly corner of the City
of Sanford's Oregon Avenue Wellfield. That portion of the City -owned
wellfield (and Soap Box Derby Park) is proposed to be utilized as right -of -way
for the Seminole County Expressway. The wellfield includes various well
heads. At the present time and for the foreseeable future, the Oregon Avenue
Wellfield is the City's main source of potable water.
2. The requested conditional use involves Section 6.0 Wellfield Protection,
Schedule M, Environmentally Sensitive Lands of the Land Development
Regulations.
A. The site is within the Primary Protection Zone which includes lands within
200 feet of any wellhead and requires uses other than recreation, open space
or other wells to be permitted by conditional use. The request includes
roadways that would be utilized as on/off-ramps in the expressway's
interchange with Rinehart Road.
B. The Secondary Protection Zone includes capture zone delineations
determined by analyses of the St. Johns River Water Management District and
requires open drainage cuts below the seasonal high water table to be
permitted only as a condition use. The Expressway Authority proposes several
wet drainage retention areas to be constructed within the secondary
protection zone. The retention ponds will be deep enough to provide fill for
other expressway facilities. The site itself (i.e., the northern portion of the
City's Oregon Avenue Wellfield) includes areas within the secondary
protection zone; generally, the secondary protection zone appears to be
located in the unincorporated area of Seminole County and is not formally
regulated by the City. Seminole County has not adopted wellfield protection
zones at this date.
4. The City has incorporated the proposed expressway into its Comprehensive
Plan and has strongly supported the proposed construction of the expressway
segment in question as evidenced by resolution of support adopted by the City
Commission.
5. The applicant has submitted a study dated March 28, 1996 by Barnes, Ferland
and Associates (BFA) entitled "Environmental Impact Analysis of the Proposed
Seminole County Expressway Ponds on the City of Sanford's Oregon Avenue
Wellfield (Update)." The report generally analyzes the impact of the ponds
upon the Floridan aquifer and how such impact could impact the City's
Planning Recommendations - Page 2
wellfields. In general the report states that there would be no adverse impact
from the ponds upon the City's wellfield for several reasons. One, the geologic
formations underneath the ponds are thick and deep. The City's wellfields are
cased to a depth of 350 -400 feet below the surface. The stormwater runoff
will not cut into the water table. Any contaminants "should be effectively
filtered by the 100 feet of surficial aquifer sediments, before reaching the
Floridan Aquifer."
6. Based on above - mentioned BFA study submitted by the applicant, recommend
that the conditional use request to construct expressway facilities, including
but not limited to roadways and drainage retention ponds, within the primary
and secondary protection zones around the Oregon Avenue Wellfield, be
approved subject to the construction and perpetual maintenance of two
monitoring wells as set forth in the BFA study.
NEW TRIBES MISSION - Request a dimensional variance to a front yard setback for
property Zoned RMOI, Multiple Family Resident, Office and Institutional located at
123 South Lee Avenue.
1. Site is Zoned RMOI, Multiple Family Residential, Office and Institutional and
includes various existing buildings.
2. The applicant proposes to construct an addition to a building for the purpose
of a school. The proposed building addition is to be located approximately five
feet from the property line on Lee Street.
3. The applicant has submitted a document entitled "Supporting Affidavit to
Applicant for Dimensional Variance" which sets forth conditions in the
immediate area and the relationship of such conditions to the standards for
approving a dimensional variance as set forth in the City's Land Development
Regulations.
4. Adjacent buildings both on the site and off the site appear to have building
setbacks that are less than the required 35 foot front yard. For example, the
building immediately north of the proposed building has a "0" setback from
the property line.
5. In general the site and immediate vicinity of site evidences existing building
that have been established for twenty plus years. This is an older urban, built -
up environment that has developed over a period of over 100 hundred years.
6. Recommend that the dimensional variance to construct a school building be
approved based on the criteria submitted by the applicant and the general
compatibility of the proposed building with uses and building configurations
established in the immediate area over a period of many years.
