The first item on the Agenda was to Hold a Public Hearing to consider revisions to the Land Development Regulations of the city of Sanford changing the permitted use of land, including major revisions to Mining Requirements in Schedule B- Permitted Uses; to Schedule E- Additional Requirements for Specific Uses and to Schedule M-- Environmentally Sensitive Lands. Representative: Jay R. Marder, AICP, Director of Planning and Development. Jay R. Marder, Director of Planning and Development, stated that the proposed changes were initiated by the City Commission. The City Commission wanted to change the way theapproval or denial for mining would come about. The changes reflect the removal of conditional use permit provisions under restricted industrial, medium industrial and agricultural zoning classifications. The request for mining or borrow pits will require a public hearing by the Planning & Zoning Commission for a recommendation to the City commission of a Planned Development Project Plan. Mr. harder stated that staff has tried to incorporate the requirements of Seminole County's mining operations and borrow pits into the proposed changes for the City. He stated that the City has fairly significant requirements for mining submittals now, but the proposed requirements have quite a bit more meat on the bone. Mr. Marder stated that the city has received updated reports of the wellf ield protection studies as developed by the St. John's River Water Management District. He stated that in the proposed wellfield protection requirements, staff placed a radius around wellf ields that require certain uses to be excluded and certain other uses to be conditional. Included are boundary conditions with a map that will become a part of this ordinance. The changes to the LDR establish a more realistic area around wellfields based on computer model studies. Mr. Dennison asked if the change would basically take it out of hands of Planning & Zoning commission and put it into the hands of the city commission. Mr. Marder stated that it would not be a conditional use but that the Planning & Zoning Commission would still see it as a planned development request and make recommendations to the City Commission. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING of JULY 15 1993 PAGE 2 Mr. Marder stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission's action on this item would be to recommend that the City Commission consider it for approval, denial or with changes. It is a required hearing by the Local Planning Agency. Mr. Dennison questioned whether the setbacks are more or less stringent. Mr. Marder stated that the proposed changes are more stringent. The present regulations are generic regulations for buffering between residential and commercial land uses. The existing regulations, geared toward mining regulations, require a 50 minimum setback. This proposal requires a minimum of 100' from the property line and 200 from any land zoned residential. Mr. Dennison asked if a drainage retention pond would be considered mining and if it is defined in this proposal. Mr. Marder stated that retention ponds are not considered to be mining although a site development permit is required. This type permit would be accompanied by a site plan. Mr. Dennison asked if mining was defined in this proposal where there would be no doubt concerning retention ponds. Mr. Marder stated that there will be no doubt. Russ Gibson, Planning Technician, stated that he spoke with a waste permitting engineer with DER regarding the depths of borrow pits. He stated that he was told that there is not an agency within the State that regulates the depth of any mining activities. Mr. Gibson stated that depths of borrow pits are regulated by requiring 10 between the bottom of any pit, mine, excavation or lake pit and the top of the sub - surface limestone formation.
