MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of March 16, 1989 Page 3 The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the Site Plan for an addition to the Main Water Treatment Plant, a water treatment facility use, located at 3655 Country Club Drive in a SRl -AA zone. Owner: City of Sanford; representative: William Simmons. Mr. Simmons, 180 Woodrige Trail, stated that the City is proposing an industrial acti- vity in a SRl AA zone to expand the area of the Water Treatment Plant by adding pumps. On the south end of the building the City will be increasing the area under roof in order to provide for more efficient handling of water chlorine containers. There are two alternatives for the parking which will significantly increase the parking and pro- vide a better use of ingress /egress, depending on bid results. The City is trying to minimize the cost to the rate payers of the City by doing only what needs to be done. The existing building is quite satisfactory structurally and reasonably acceptable from an architectural point of view. Mr. Keith moved on approval of the site plan. Seconded by Mr. Dennison. Mr. Simmons stated that the City will be redoing all controls for existing motors as well as the new motors and putting in a sound system. All in favor. Motion carried.

The area is a vacant lot between Stein Machine and two lots which are paved as parking lots. Mr. Morris moved on approval of the site plan. Seconded by Mr. Keith. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the discussion of Banner Signs and Streamers. Mrs. Sonnenberg asked if Banner Signs, that were in place prior to the new Land Development Regulations, if they were grandfathered in, and if they are ever taken down will they have to comply with the new Regulations. Mr. Simmons replied that a permanent type of sign is grandfathered until it needs to be changed for some reason or other. The Banner Signs would be grandfathered as they exist until they need to be changed, however, their life is much shorter. After discussion, it was decided that anyone can have a temporary Banner Sign at the same time and that Streamers and Banner Signs should be separated in the Land Development Regulations. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of March 16, 1989 Page 4 Under other business from the floor, Mr. Mack LaZenby, Director of Aviation, Sanford Regional Airport, stated that he presented the Master Plan for the Airport to the Commission in November. Mr. Lazenby stated that some of the things that were approved were 17 T Hangars, relocation of roadway, and an opening up of the terminal area. When building permits were applied for the City said that there were no plans. Mr. Lazenby said that there is no water nor sewer in the T Hangars; the drainage is already in; they are inside the aviation area; there is no landscaping. He would like to get a green light so the contractor can pick up the building permits. Mr. Simmons stated that the Airport Authority Contractor came down that afternoon to pull a site development permit and was told by the Building official that the City did not have an approved site plan on record. The contractor had a drawing which showed the layout of the T Hangars and that the existing road was being designated as a taxiway and was being relocated elsewhere. Mr. Simmons said that he found a 1984 plan that showed a number of T Hangars to be built that have already been built. It showed some corporate jet hangars as future construction in the general location where the new T Hangars are proposed to go. Mr. Simons contacted Staff to find out if there was something he had missed. He found that apparently the last plan submitted to Planning and Zoning was in 1984. Finally, Mr. Simmons talked to Mr. LaZenby and told him that Planning and Zoning Commission was meeting tonight to cane down to see if approval could be given from them. Then Staff would look at the engineering plans. Mr. Simmons stated that if Planning and Zoning Commission would approve a site plan. He could get with Mr. Lazenby after the meeting tomorrow to and get the engineering side satisfied. Staff would need to check particularly with the Fire Department to make sure they didn't have a problem. Then they could sign off on the engineering plan and issue the site development permit including the hangars and the relocation of the road. The Commission has seen everything that involves vertical construction since Mr. Simmons has been with the City. The T Hangars have tripped the issue relative to ver- tical construction regarding the question of what is aviation area and what is not. Mr. Simmons stated that the Land Development Code does not exempt any development within the City of Sanford. The Florida Statutes specifically exempt the School Board. The Community College and the Federal Government can claim exemption. Mr. LaZenby stated that there were never any exclusions, and has just been an excellent working relationship. Mr. Morris moved on approval of the T Hangars subject to engineering sign off. Seconded by Mr. Keith and Mr. Dennison. Mr. LaZenby stated that the Airport Authority went to the Fire Department and the plan has everything the Fire Department requires. It has the fire walls and everything exactly as requested. Mr. Morris stated that he could recall this Board reviewing and approving plans for T Hangars before and does not MINUTES Planning and Zoning Ccomission Meeting of March 16, 1989 Page 5 believe that the City Engineering Staff would purposely try to delay anything that the Airport is trying to do. In fact, he felt that they have bent over backwards to faci- litate as best they could. Mr. Simmons stated that he had no problem with the site plan but did want the Commission give it a check. He will work with Mr. LaZenby rela- tive to the engineering plan as expeditiously as possible. Mr. Simmons recommended an unqualified approval of the site plan. Mr. Morris amended the motion and withdrew the condition. All in favor. Motion carried. Charimian Carli requested that Mrs. Sonnenberg make the Building Official aware that Banner Signs and Streamers are not the same as Mobile Trailer Signs. It was unani- mously agreed that Banner Signs and Streamers are grandfathered in and that they cannot be replaced except under the new Land Development Regulations. Mrs. Sonnenberg reported that the gentleman on Mellonville is not running a taxicab service, he is a driver and only brings the taxicab hoarse. Mrs. Sonnenberg also reported that the day care center at 9th and Park is not a day care center. There are 3 that live at this address. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the City Commission is going to draft an ordinance saying that all games rooms, will require City Commission approval. Also, Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that Mr. Lash is putting in his parking lot. Mr. Morris moved to approve the minutes as circulated. Seconded by Mr. Keith. All in favor. Motion carried.
