The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request for a Conditional Use for Hill Dermaceutieals,
Inc. located at 2650 Mellonville Avenue in an RI -1, Restricted
Industrial Zoning District, for the purpose of an above ground fuel
tank. Owner: Sanford Airport Authority; representative: Jerry S.
Roth, Applicant.
Bob Wise, 689 Woodridge Drive, Fern Park, was present for
representation. He stated that Hill Dermaceuticals and Roth
Laboratories would like to construct a facility for the manufacture
and distribution of pharmaceutical products designed for
dermatology traits. The two main products manufactured will be for
diseases of the scalp. Fuel will be used for their private
airplane which is mainly used for marketing and for FDA meetings in
Washington, D.C.
Mr. Marder explained that this is a fairly complex project from the
standpoint that there are several items, including closing one of
the Airport's streets. The Airport Authority has received a grant
from the Department of Commerce to re -route the street. The fuel
tank is part of the lease agreement with the Authority. Mr. Marder
stated that he would look into what the Airport has and what is
planned regarding above ground fuel tanks.
Mr. Wise stated that the tank will be at the northwest corner of
the building surrounded by a 6' cinder block wall with reinforcing
steel. It will be a 10,000 gallon, double - walled tank consisting
of a single grade of aviation kerosene. Mr. Wise stated that Fuel
Tech, the seller of the tanks, has also installed other above
ground tanks at the Airport. They are responsible for the
installation and pressure checks. The concrete pad that the tank
will sit on is 8 thick and it has to have one strip of ceramic
tile around it that identifies it as a fuel tank. The expense of
the electric work alone is $5,000 because it has to be completely
separate from the rest of the facility. It cannot be effected by
other electric operations. It has to have a shut off at the site.
Mr. Robert moved for approval as presented per Staff's
recommendations. Mr. Dyal seconded. All in favor. Motion
carried.
The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request
for a Conditional Use for Lot 1, AC2 Income Fund PD, Don Pablo's
Mexican Kitchen located at 100 Towne Center Boulevard in a PD,
Planned Development Zoning District for the purpose of a restaurant
with on premises consumption, alcoholic beverage sales regardless
of alcoholic content. Owner: ACI Income Fund, Ltd.;
representative: Jerry Richards.
Jerry Richards, 2910 Calumet Ave., Orlando, was present
representing DF &R Restaurants, Don Pablo's. He stated that this
will be a full service, Mexican restaurant having 272 seats and 27
employees. The bar /lounge section will have 50 seats.

favor. Motion carried.
The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request for a Conditional Use for part of Tract D,
Placid Lake Subdivision located at Airport Blvd. and Placid Lake
Drive in a MR -3, Multiple Family Residential Zoning District, for
the purpose of an elementary school site. Owner: Samuel C.
Stephens, III, Tr.; representative: John A. Moseler.
John Moseler, ZOM Development, 2269 Lee Road, Winter Park, stated
that the majority of the parcel for school use is in the commercial
district but the School Board needed a minimum of 16 acres. The
request is for 82 -1/2' from another tract to add to the already
zoned commercial parcel. Construction will start some time during
the summer. This school will be between the Goldsboro and Lake
Mary Elementary School Zone. The School Board plans to put up a
wall along the side of the Railroad tracks.
Mr. Moseler explained that there is approximately a.1/4 of an acre
of wetlands that comes under St. Johns jurisdiction and a 1/2 acre
that comes under the Army Corp of Engineers. There may be some
mitigation with the portion of wetlands for Army Corp.
Mr. McClanahan moved for approval with Staff's recommendations.
Mr. Dyal seconded. Mr. Brooks abstained. All others in favor.
Motion carried.
Next on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a
request for a Conditional Use for Ray's Appliances located at 318
S. French Avenue in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District for
the purpose of outside display. Owner: George Vogel;
representative: Dean Ray.
Dean Ray, owner of business, and George Vogel, owner of property,
were present. Mr. Ray stated that he was aware of Staff's
recommendations and was in agreement with all but one requirement.
He stated that he had a problem with the height restriction. He
added that he sells appliances and that there aren't any appliances
under 30 ". Mr. Marder stated that these guidelines were developed
specifically for storefronts in the historic area. The height
restrictions are more for aesthetic considerations basically, as a
very limited sidewalk display.
Mr. McClanahan moved for approval based on all recommendations with
the change of height from 30" to 72 ". Seconded by Mr. Robert. Mr.
Skat opposed. Motion carried.
Next on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a
request for a Dimensional Variance for Kid -U -Not, Inc., an office
and manufacturing facility located at 1201 Central Park Drive in a
RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District, for the purpose of a
reduction of the Front Yard Setback Requirements for Sun Drive: 25'
required, 15' proposed, a variance of 10 feet. Owner: Linda
Rubel; representative: Steve Eaton, Developers Choice, Inc.
Steve Eaton, 8150 Presidents Drive, Orlando, was present. Mr.
Marder stated that he didn't see the rationale to get a variance.
However, it is a double frontage lot and it is required to have a
front yard building setback on both street sides. Recognizing that
the side street will be a minor street, it is reasonable to treat
it like a rear yard setback which is a little bit less, but not a
total variance of the industrial standards. Mr. Eaton stated that
the front yard is on Central Park Drive with the side yard being on
Sun Drive. The reason for the request is that this is an irregular
site. He stated that he will be constructing a rectangular
building. It is strictly the rear corner of the building that
projects into the setback. He stated that to keep the building
rectangular, the end of that corner is needed. In terms of the
amount of building in the setback vs. the amount of the building on

the exceeding setback, and trees along the triangular side that
will be saved, they do not want to trade the part of the building
that is in the corner and jog it into the triangular area and lose
some of the trees. Mr. Marder stated that as with many of the
Dimensional Variances, the applicant was accommodating in providing
the City with a list of criteria and reasons he felt were
appropriate. Mr. Marder stated that it is reasonable to accept Mr.
Eaton's comments as rationale for 'the variance.
Mr. McClanahan moved on approval as requested subject to Staff's
recommendations with the 15' setback. Seconded by Mr. Skat. Mr.
Platts stated that standards for the variance have not been met and
that the applicant would like the variance basically because he
wants to build a bigger building. Mr. Valerino agreed with Mr.
Platts. In opposition were Mr. Valerino, Mr. Dyal and Mr. Platts.
Motion carried.
The next item was the consideration of the Site Plan for Kid -U -Not,
Inc., an office and manufacturing facility for lot 20, Sanford
Central Park located at 1201 Central Park Drive in a RI -1,
Restricted Industrial Zoning District. Owner: Linda Rubel;
representative: Steve Eaton, Developers Choice, Inc.
Steve Eaton was present for representation. Mr. Marder stated that
the City does not have the engineering plans for this project.
Basically, this plan is o.k. for site plan, at this point in time,
but there are some details that have to be worked out.
Mr. Robert moved for approval subject to final engineering and
Staff's recommendations. Mr McClanahan seconded. Mr. Skat
questioned the chemicals. Mr. Eaton stated that the only chemicals
would be the paints which are environmentally safe. In opposition
were Mr. Dyal and Mr. Valerino. Motion carried.
Next on the Agenda was the consideration of the Preliminary
Subdivision Plan for Pama.la Oaks, Phase 2, a 26 lot residential
subdivision located at 741 Upsala Road in a PD, Planned Development
Zoning District. Owner: Esther M. Locke; representative: Charles
M. Madden, Allen Madden Engineering, Inc.
Charlie Madden was present representing Suda, Inc. Mr. Robert
asked if the lots would line up with the lots of the subdivision to
the north. Mr. Madden stated "yes."
Mr. McClanahan moved on approval subject to Staff's
recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Stogner. All in favor. Motion
carried.
Mr. Platts tendered his letter of resignation.
Mr. Dyal asked that Staff check on the house at the end of Escambia
stating that there is not a window or a door in the entire house.
Mr. Dyal also asked that the appropriate people know that the
Magnolia Trees on Plumosa are very nice. He stated that he does
not necessarily agree that the white gates at 15th Street and
Sanford Avenue are privately held by the adjacent property owner.
The gates are on City property, between the sidewalk and the
street. He stated that the City maintained them for many years.
Mr. McClanahan explained that this issue was researched in the 70's
and it was found that the City did not own the gates.
Mr. Robert moved to approve the Minutes as circulated. Mr.
McClanahan seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8 :00 P.M.
