The first item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider the request to rezone from SR -1, Single Family Dwelling Residential, to MR -2, Multi - family Dwelling Residential, that property located at 1695 West 18th Street. Owners /representatives: Robert & Mae Jackson. Mr. Robert Jackson, 1895 West 18th Street stated that this 28' triangular shaped piece of property is large enough for parking only. In clarification, Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that Mr. Jackson went through last week for a day care center and was approved. During Staff review, it was discovered that a small parcel of that property had never been rezoned from SR -1 to MR -2. SR -1 would not allow a day care center the size that Mr. Jackson wishes, so we allowed him to go through the process of the site plan and then ask to rezone this 28' wide triangular piece. Some of the parking will be on this piece of property. There was no one else present to speak for or in opposition to the requested rezoning.

The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the Site /Engineering Plan, an equipment lot with outside storage and outdoor wheel stop manufacturing for the Ensley Corporation located at West 5th Street in a GC -2 zone. Owner: Joe W. Brooks; representative: John Frith. Mr. John Frith, 7920 Goldie Street, Orlando, requested a chain link fence around all four sides of the building instead of a sight proof fence. Mr. Marder stated that recognizing the neighborhood, it is very visible there and to see what takes place here is not an attractive use. Mr. Marder recommended that an opaque wall be placed on the south and east sides of this property. Mr. Frith stated that they would be inclined to buffer if cyclone fence is approved. They would be inclined to put in hedges or things of this nature to equal the height of the fence including the appropriate irrigation to maintain the landscaping. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of September 7, 1989 Page 4 Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that she had spoken with Mr. Frith about Mr. Brooks' approval of the site plan for his main site. The approval was with landscaping and it has not proved to be adequate as far as buffering using the vine on a chain link fence. Mr. Simmons stated that the fence appears to be placed right on the property line. It needs some indication of where the sight proof vegetation is going to go, how much room it will take up, and is it going to be acceptable on the inside. More detail is needed before approval of this plan which is a variation from the LDR. Mr. Speer moved on approval of the site plan subject to installing a concrete wall or a fence with 5' hedges. Seconded by Mr. Keith. Mr. Simmons stated that he sees no engineering basis for determining whether the hedge should be on in the inside or outside of the fence, therefore, Mr. Simmons requested that the Commission make the determination of where the hedge should be. Mr. Speer amended the motion to include the hedge being on the inside of the fence. The hedge to be put in at 3' centers with the hedge to be the height of the fence in 5 years, and include irrigation requirements on the north line of the property. Mr. Dyal seconded the motion as amended. Mr. Speer stated that he did not know that Staff was talking about buffering the alley. His motion was for only the north line of the property, not the alley. Mr. Speer withdrew his motion. Mr. Keith and Mr. Dyal withdrew their seconds. Mr. Keith stated that he sees no reason why the applicant cannot put in a sight proof wall. Mr. Brooks moved on approval of the site plan with a sight proof wall all around the property. Mr. Keith seconded. Mr. Morris opposed. All others in favor. Motion carried.
