Mr. Marder requested that the Commission consider reviewing the Site Plan for TCH site
plan because the issues have been resolved, i.e. a tree to be saved and the relocation
of the parking. Mr. Malone stated that if the people presenting their plans to the
Commission do not feel obligated to cane before the Commission, then it should be
tabled and the Commission should not consider it. Mr. Keith stated that it would be
much better to table until they have a representative. Chairman Dennison stated that
in fairness to all it would be more appropriate to table to give them an opportunity to
come in and present their site plan.
Mr. Malone reccnmended to Staff that the representative be told that if they do not
show up the Commission will not consider their plan. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that they
are told this and it is noted on their application.
Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the Florida League of Cities has a bill before the
Legislature in Tallahassee regarding mandated placement of group hones in single family
residential neighborhoods, bills 1269 and 1061. There was something in the paper
regarding an amendment restricting those with less than seven in single family areas.
Mr. Malone noted the City has addressed the congregate living facilities. The
Legislature in Tallahassee has taken upon themselves to dictate to cities what they can
do. The big difference is Sanford has 1500 square fee and the Senate bill has 1000
square feet separatly. Mr. Malone urged each Commission to call their Legislator, to
not let the State dictate to us what we as a City residents have to do.
Mr. Sonnenberg stated that the Building official has asked if an individual in a GC -2
zone, who races stock cars, as a hobby, would be o.k. to keep then at his residence.
He is a licensed stock car driver. He has been cited for non - operative or non - licensed
automobiles by the Code Enforcement Board. Would the Commission consider whether or
not he can keep them behind a sight proof fence?
Mr. Dennison stated that since he is in a commercial zone, he personally does not see
anything wrong with this. Mr. Malone stated that something of this nature should have
a public hearing to consider the noise factor. It was the opinion of the Commission
that he came before the Commission for a public hearing.
Mr. Malone made a motion to remove Item 2 from the table. Seconded by Mr. LeRoy. All
in favor. Motion carried.
Mr. John Michelena stated that this will be an office /warehouse /showroom of 17,000
square feet in the Sanford Commerce Park. Delivery trucks are up to 40' in length.
The trucks will cane in from the north and circle around. The trucks will never enter
the building; they will stay in the service loading area.
Mr. Malone moved on approval of the site plan. Seconders by Mr. Brooks. All in favor.
Motion carried.
Mr. Malone made a motion to remove Item 3 fran the table. Seconded by Mr. LeRoy. All
in favor. Motion carried.
