Mr. Sabeti, 2307 Mt. Vernon, Orlando, stated that this parcel included 2 acres and that they could construct 30 multiple family units, but they wished to do smaller lots for 14 single family homes. The houses will have two bedrooms, two baths and will be priced in the 60's. The square footage is approximately 1070. In opposition to the request was Demetrio Sepulvada, 198 Sir Lawrence Dr. He stated that he has lived at this location for 13 years. He asked what would be done to control traffic and crime. Mr. Sepulvada stated that this area used to be peaceful but now is not. Traffic control takes about 10 minutes. Crime is bad with the park being so dangerous at night. With more people coring into the area, he wanted to know what would happen to those who already live there. Mr. Sepulvada stated that he objected because of the traffic control and the crime at night. He lives across the street from this request. Mr. Dyal stated that he could understand the concerns about traffic, but stated that the Commission could not do anything about crime. Mr. Dyal asked Mr. Sepulvada if he thought that 14 buildings would add to the crime and traffic control problems. Mr. Sepulvada stated 'yes ". Mr. Marder stated that the amount of traffic would not be significant. He stated that it was his understanding that there would to be some type of traffic control at Sir Lawrence and Lake Mary Blvd. Mr. Dennison stated that it is under the jurisdiction of the Police Department regarding the crime situation in the area. Bruce Acker, 194 Sir Lawrence, stated that he lives across the street from the vacant lot. He stated that the zoning Board erred because the area is too densely populated. Mr. Acker stated that four -gears ago, because his lot #5 faces Sir Lawrence, there was a MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 4 1992 PAGE 2 problem getting in and out of his driveway at that time. It is a dead end street with no traffic light. 4- laning Lake Mary Blvd. won't help. Dumping more traffic onto Sir Lawrence with traffic coming from Groveview and with teenagers dodging traffic in the morning is not feasible. The value of the property in the area has depreciated because of Rosecliff Apartment complex. Mr. Acker stated that he feels that Sir Lawrence Drive has become overloaded. I Mr. J. Brooks stated that he understood the traffic issue and the property value. He stated that the applicant will not be getting the full potential of his property. Mr. Acker stated a traffic light couldn't hurt but he has been told that a traffic light couldn't be put there because the street isn't open at both ends. Mr. Marder stated that he understood a light might be put in but was not certain. He also stated that Groveview should have been connected with the other subdivisions. This development would be fitting into the last little piece of the Groveview area. Tom Dewey, 202 Sir Lawrence, asked if the units will be rental. Mr. Sabeti stated that they will be for sale. Mr. Dewey stated that he has a problem with congestion. He bought in this area for peace and quiet. Now it is too congested. Sometimes there are people asking for donations and transients asking for handouts. Renters nor transients care for the area like the owners do. Mr. Dewey stated that with the amount of people living on the street now, he believes that it is coaxed out. Mr. L. Brooks stated that everyone has . the right to come before the Commission and ask to use their property. Mr. Dewey stated that property values are going down and he believes it has something to do with there being too much use of the street there now. Judy Zipay, 103 Anthony Dr., stated that she purchased her home 12 years ago. She asked if the developers were going to put in a divider wall. Mr. Dennison stated that, looking at a drawing showing the privacy fences, the developers are going to fence and put in a retention pond between the houses on Anthony and the proposed lots with hedges between the property and the pond. Joe Pinto, 115 Hazel Blvd., stated that he would like to have the developer put in the same price homes that are in the area now. Mrs. Stairs stated that Mayfair Meadows has this type of mixed use and it was very successful. Mr. Dennison suggested that the Police Department be called about the crime and traffic situation. Mr. Dyal stated that he sympathizes with the residents in the area but the property was zoned this way when it was bought. Mr. Sabeti stated.that he understands the concerns and that there will be a buffer between the apartments and the houses. Mr. Speer moved to deny the request. Motion died for lack of second. Mr. J. Brooks moved on approval of the request. Mr. Dyal seconded. Six in favor. Mr. Speer in opposition to the motion. Motion carried.

There is a melting temperature of 620 - 612 with alloys. If lead is bought dirty then it would have smoke, but since everything is done inside of building there will not be any smoke. Mr. Parker stated that lead gives off no smoke. Mr. J. Brooks asked how would someone know that it will be clean. Mr. Parker stated if pig lead is used it will not smoke. Otherwise they would have to vent, filter, etc. Mr Dyal asked if the idea is only to melt and not to bail. Mr. Parker stated "yes". Mr. Speer moved to approve the request. Mrs. Stairs seconded.

Jack Reynolds, 180 Ridge St., Winter Springs, of Engineering Design, stated that they had submitted a request to not pave the parking area or the alley, but would widen the apron and stabilize the parking.

Mr. Cooke stated that they had sent a letter to Bill Simmons concerning objection to Mr. Takvorian regarding runway and the concrete area for the overrun. Mr. Cooke showed the area.

The Airport wants Mr. Takvorian to grant a noise easement. 767's and 727's will only be a few feet off the ground, approximately 100 feet and there will be tremendous noise. This noise will create problems. Mr. Cooke stated that the Airport is recommending that Mr. Takvorian put insulation in the building. Mr. J. Brooks asked if there could be any structural damage and if the City would be liable. Mr. Cooke stated that he could not answer but stated that it was not a hazard per FAA criteria. Mr. Speer asked why the Airport wasn't going south towards Lake Jessup. Mr. Cooke stated they were considering this but they were not proposing to go north over a runway. Mr. Dennison said that the E/W runway was the best runway because small planes have to take off with the wind. Large planes can tolerate cross winds. Mr. Dennison also stated that the aVigation easement goes with the land. The agreement to move the building to the east has addressed airports concerns. Mr. Dennison .suggested that an easement be granted the requirement for insulation since most noise is generated at take off.
