He requested that he be allowed to block off French Avenue with landscaping and have customers enter off Bayard Street. He requested a smaller landscape strip, perhaps 5 feet. He stated that he had spoken with the owner and the underground tanks are in good order and that they would not be used.

He stated that they needed the waiver on the west side because there is a line of mature trees there, planted close together, which has a surface root If shrubs are planted, one or the other will die. Mr. Bullock stated that they are concerned with the plantings and having the shrubs die. He stated that he was told by the nurseries that the shrubs would take several gears to grow to a satisfactory height.

He stated that they are working with staff on this. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the landscaping plans could be finalized when the engineering plans are submitted. Mr. Cooke asked that the reduction in the landscape criteria for off - street parking and vehicular circulation areas be deferred until the engineering plans are submitted. Nance Taylor 2 419 Bay Ave., spoke in opposition to the request. He stated that he objects to this building because there are no large airlines to support this debt. He requested that someone explain that the citizens of Sanford will not have to pay anything for this airline service. He stated that someone with the City should take a good, hard look at this. The noise pollution will ruin much of the surrounding area. He asked how would the nearby residents sleep with this much air traffic and asked if the citizens of Sanford are safe. Mr. Taylor recommended that construction be stopped to save millions of dollars, and recruit industrial expansion to supply more jobs. He stated that if the Commission has the right to say no and hold up construction of this, then this should be done. George Givens, 2002 Crystal View South, spoke in opposition to the request. He stated that the new addition to the terminal would cost $2 to 3 million. He stated that this represents a flagrant lack of control of our assets. The current terminal is virtually unused. The office for customs and the operation manager are not being used. A few young ladies control the car rentals. other than this, the terminal is not used. He asked what would the expansion be used for. Current conditions don't warrant a terminal. This is revenue. Virtually all heavy traffic has ceased. Mr. Givens stated that he had heard that Cam -Aire is leaving the Airport. If the Airport loses Com -Aire, everything is gone. He asked what is the Airport proposing to do for revenue to pay off this loan. They are not generating enough money. They are hurting. Mr. Givens stated that this is a waste of money merely because it is available.

Based on the existence of similar uses already established in the immediate vicinity of site, recommend that the request be approved with conditions. Because of the comer location, high traffic volumes associated with U.S. Highway 17 & 92, and unique character of nonconformities of the site, the following conditions are recommended: a.
