The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a PD, Planned. Development Rezone for Pamala Oaks Ph 2 and to consider the Pamala Oaks Master Plan for property located at 741 - 841 Upsala Road in an AG, Agricultural Zoning District. Owner: Esther M. Locke / Contract Buyer: A. David Feinberg; representative: A. David Feinberg. Dennis Benbow, 1005 Edgewater Dr., was present representing Mr. Feinberg. He stated that they would be adding Phase 2 to Phase 1 of Pamala oaks. The master plan would have to be amended. He stated that Phase 2 would be identical to Phase 1. Mrs. Stairs asked if the density would be the same. Mr. Benbow stated that it would be the exact same density, same land size, and the same number of lots. Kevin Freer, 1550 Freer Lane, stated that his property is east of and adjacent to both Phase 1 and Phase 2'. Mr. Freer stated that the Phase 1 grade level has been achieved. The road and cul -de- sac, the retention pond and storm drains are in place. He stated that he is concerned with the drainage. At the beginning of the construction, the developers brought in a tremendous amount of dirt. when Mr. Freer looks out of his back door he sees a wall of dirt 6 feet tall. He stated that the first phase effects his back yard and that this proposed phase will effect his sideyard. Mr. Freer stated that if it is built exactly the same as Phase 1, he will be looking at 660 feet of dirt. Mr_ Freer stated that the drainage is not adequate. The storm drain could not handle the amount of water from the recent rains. Water from Phase 1 drained onto his property. The slope created by the developer comes down at an angle down to his property line. The same problem, if it is allowed to continue, will effect the natural drainage of the water across his property. Mr. Dennison asked Mr. Freer if he had experienced a problem during the last rain. Mr. Freer stated +eyes ". He stated that the retention pond did not fill up. The storm drain was not adequate and water created a large hole from the edge of the cul -de- sac to his property. At this point, Mr. Freer entered into the record pictures of problems created by inadequate drainage. Mr. Freer stated that he was concerned with the value of his property because of the mound of dirt. He stated that his property is lower because the developer put in this pile of dirt. Mr. Freer stated that another concern is the 6 -fact tall fence that is to be placed at the rear of the property, supposedly a wood fence. Mr. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 1994 Ddr_ 1 7) Freer stated that if the fence is to be located at the bottom along the property line, a person could take a board and walk to the top of the fence because of the mound of dirt. Homes being built at that elevation may as well be built in a tree looking down on his home. Mr. Benbow stated that due to the rain, several places where the bank was washed away will have to be filled and resodded. He stated that concerns about the water runoff are because the site wasn't finished before the rain came. Mr. Dennison asked if this is the finished elevation for the wall of dirt. Mr. Benbow stated that the elevations are set. Mr. Dennison asked if there is a plan to put in a drainage pipe at the east of this property. Mr. Benbow stated that the Mater goes north and west and into the retention pond and not onto Mr. Freer' s property. The land to the east falls off considerably. There is a 30' easement between the properties. The only reason the water flowed to the east is because the area needed to be sodded and finished. Mr. Dyal stated that what really would be needed is a 12' fence instead of a 6' fence. Mr. Marder stated that the applicant would have to come back and ask to have the fence requirement changed. Mr. Robert asked why the subdivision is so much higher than Mr. Freer's land. Mr. Benbow stated that the drainage falls from the end of the road, back to the retention pond at the back of the property, then it outfalls into the smith Canal. The ground of Phase 2 is substantially higher in elevation than Phase 1. Mr. Freer stated that the easement that goes north and south, is a 15' easement, not a 30' easement. Mr. Marder stated that the plat states that it is a 15' right -of -way which is on the adjacent landowner' s property. The applicant is providing for a 25' drainage easement adjacent to the 15' right -of -way. Mr. Dennison stated that structures planned for Phase 1 were not in place and not completed when all the rain came. If this had been completed, the drainage would have worked properly. Mr. Robert moved to approve based on information in the Muster Plan for Pamala Oaks, Mr. Brooks seconded. Mr. Dyal opposed. All others in favor. Motion carried. The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use for property located at 2602 S. Orlando Drive, in a GC -2, Genera. Commercial Zoning District, for the purpose of automobile and truck rental (U --Haul rentals) . Owner: Harold Hall; representative: Dan R. Hall. Dan Hall, 312 W. 1st St., stated that this will be a U -Haul Trailer rental business. Mr. Marder stated that at the time the site was observed for his recommendations, there were more units on the property than were there today. He stated that he had tried to compare the location of the units with the plans because it did not appear that the storage areas, as proposed on the plans, would accommodate the number of units at the site at that particular time. The plan showed the storage area on the southerly portion of the site, with the drive -thru and parking spaces for customers on the northside . Most of the units for rental were located in spots that would be used for customers. He stated that this could potentially be a problem. Mr. harder stated that he does not know where all the units for rentals would be located on the site with adequate parking. Mr. Dyal :roved for approval as presented. Seconded by Mr. Robert. Mrs. Stairs asked when would this gentleman bring back a site plan. Mr. Dyal stated that the site plan was not on the agenda, just consideration of the conditional use. Mr. Dennison stated that at the time when he brings in a site plan he has heard the concerns. All in favor of the motion. Motion carried.

Cantwell. Steve Cantwell, 1401 W. Seminole Blvd., stated that the Hospital would like to install larger signs. The main entrance sign is 13 gears old and they would like to make it more current and more visible. At the same, they would like to address the SR 46 sign. Mr. Cantwell stated that the existing signs are horizontal and that they would like to go with a vertical sign. Mr. Dyal stated that the church on SR 46 wanted a larger sign and asked what makes this situation different. Mr. Marder stated that this is a hospital which requires a greater visibility for emergencies. Most public /semi public uses are not for - profit type of uses such as churches and schools. whereas, the hospital is a commercial for—profit business even though it falls into the category of public /semi public.

From the Director of Planning and Developnen November 23, 1994 TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of December 1, 1994 A. DAVID FEINBERG - Request to rezone from SR -1 AA, Single Family Residential to PD, Planned Development for property located on the east side of Upsala Road y2 mile north of CR 46A. Site is Zoned AG, Agricultural, encompasses 5 acres and appears to include an existing single family dwelling. 2. The site was recently annexed into the City. Therefore, the City's Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan will not apply until the Plan is amended. Based on the Joint Planning Agreement with Seminole County, the City of Sanford Land Development Regulations may be applied to the property since the proposed development reflects an equivalent land use designation in the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan. The Seminole County Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map designation is Low Density Residential designation for the property. Low Density Residential permits up to seven dwelling units per acre in the County PUD, Planned Unit Development Zone. 3. The Pamala Oaks Master Plan proposes a total of 56 dwelling units on lots with a minimum of 4,000 square feet. The gross density proposed is 5.69 dwelling units per acre. This request is for a second phase for a total of 28 additional lots. 4. Existing land uses in the immediate vicinity of site include a church and various single family dwellings located on tracts that appear to be larger than one acre per dwelling unit. Such uses are Zoned AG, Agriculture (city) and A- 1, Agricultural (county). In addition, the first phase of Pamala Oaks is under development. 6. Facilities and services such as road capacity, central water and central sewer are adequate and available to accommodate the impact of 28 additional dwelling units. Drainage will need to comply with the City's established level of service. 7. Recommend that the request to rezone to PD, Planned Development be approved based on the information contained on the Pamala Oaks Master Plan, consistency of the proposed development with the Comprehensive Plan and similarity with adjacent first phase of the project which is approved and under development. HAROLD HALL - Request for conditional use approval to permit automobile and truck rental for property Zoned GC -2, General Commercial located at 2606 South Orlando Drive. 1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial, includes an existing building and encompasses 13,659 square feet. The site fronts U.S. Highway 17 & 92 (South Orlando Drive) and Hiawatha Avenue. 2. Several automobile oriented uses are already located in the general vicinity of site including trailer sales, used automobile sales and tire sales and installation. Other uses adjacent to site include offices, a single family residence and a hotel. 3. A Proposed Site Plan for Harold A. Hall dated November 14, 1994 submitted with the conditional use application reflects proposed display areas, parking, circulation and existing improvements on the property. The proposed layout does not appear to provide adequate display areas for the existing truck and trailer rental units observed on the site. 4. Recommend approval of the request to establish automobile and truck rental based on similar automotive oriented uses already established in the immediate vicinity of site. This recommendation does not constitute a recommendation to approve the proposed site plan submitted with the conditional use application. CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL HOSPITAL - Request a dimensional variance to permit two signs to be larger than that allowed for property Zoned RMOI, Multiple Family Residential, Office and Institutional located at 1401 West Seminole Boulevard. 1. Site is Zoned RMOI, Multiple Family Residential, Office and Institutional and includes a 250 bed hospital with street frontage on West Seminole Boulevard (U.S. Highway 17 & 92), First Street (State Road 46) and Mangoustine Avenue. 2. Hospitals are classified as public and semi - public uses in the context of the City's sign regulations contained in Schedule K of the LDR. Such uses include churches, schools, libraries, and cultural facilities. As such, signage permitted for public and semi - public uses includes up to 32 square feet per street frontage. A community shopping center with a similar floor area of 240,000 square feet would be allowed up to 300 square feet of signage. 3. The applicant desires to replace existing signs at two entrances. The existing sign at Seminole Boulevard is approximately 80 square feet; its proposed replacement would be 120 square feet. The existing sign at First Street is 32 Planning Recommendations, November 23, 1994, Page 2 square feet; its proposed replacement would be 72 square feet. 4. Recommend approval of the requested signage based on the unique nature of the use, a large -scale regional, for - profit hospital and the associated need for higher visibility than other public and semi - public uses due to emergency services provided at the site. GERALD GROSS - Request for a dimensional variance to permit the expansion of a nonconforming structure into the front yard building setback for property Zoned GC- 2, General Commercial located at 1200 French Avenue. 1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and includes an entertainment facility known as "The Barn." The site includes approximately two acres. An existing wood frame building is located on the site. 2. As reflected on a proposed plan submitted with the application, the applicant desires to add additional building area to the existing structure adjacent to Twelfth Street. The existing building setback from Twelfth Street is four (4) feet. The required building setback for Twelfth Street is twenty five (25) feet which reflects the City's requirement that corner lots reflect front yard building setbacks for both street frontages. The proposed plan shows that several site improvements along Twelfth Street are located in the right -of -way. Such improvements require a right -of -way use permit approved by the City Commission. 3. Twelfth Street is a local street with a very low traffic volume. The City does not have nor does it foresee any expansion to Twelfth Street in terms of capacity or other improvements. 4. Recommend approval of the dimensional variance of the building setback from twenty five feet to four feet along Twelfth Street based on the major portion of the existing building that already established with a four foot setback from the right -of -way.
