The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the Conditional Use for property located at 655 Fulton Street for the purpose of installing window film on automobiles in a GC -2 zone. Owner: Walter N. King; representative: John M. Koval. Due to the lack of representation Mr. Malone moved to table. Mr. Morris seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the preliminary plat for the Oyler Brothers parcel, a 32 acre, 14 lot industrial subdivision, located at East of Upsala, South of S.R.46 in an AD, GC -2 and RI -1 zone. owner: Thomas L. & Kenneth L. Oyler; representative: James C. Branch, P.E. Mr. Bill Scoler stated that he was here representing Tan and Ken Oyler. Mr. Morris stated that the entrance way system needed to be addressed with regard to the plat; what type of improvements could be made on that entrance way boulevard. Mr. Scoler stated that in working with Staff, Staff had said to designate a 70' right -of -way and make that .road a benefit road for options in the future, this is the reason for such narrow lots, 90'depth and 315' width. Mr. Jim Branch with Conklin, Porter and Holmes stated that there is an existing home on Lot 1 that will stay there for now. Mr. Scoler stated that they would like to consider joint improvements, i.e. Smith Canal. These improvements will not benefit this project enough for improvements to be made alone. Mr. Branch stated that they figured a full intersection on 46. Meetings have been held with FDOT and a verbal agreement with FDO`I' closing two existing median cuts and opening a median cut immediately in front of this project. The median cut includes a left turn lane into the property and same right turn decel into the property also. Mr. Simmons stated that he would like to see the south end of the roadway redirected so that it crosses the south boundary of the plat rather than the east boundary. As drawn now it crosses into a third party property which is not in the City; whereas, what is intended is to have it cross going south just to the west of the southeast corner of the property. The geometry will work from that point for it to tie into the road caning fran the south. Codisco has not platted the area immediately south, however, they are willing to donate the right-of-way north of where they have platted so long as someone else does the paving on this piece. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of December 15, 1988 P, age 3 Mr. Stoler stated that it has been their intent to line up with Codisco property because it would yield a better plan. This is fine with Oyler Brothers. Mr. Dennison moved on approval of the preliminary plat as modified. Seconded by Mr. LeRoy. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for Arby's, a restaurant use located at 3160 Orlando Drive in a GC -2 zone. Owner: Central Florida Properties, Inc.; representative: J. Gary Sharp. Mr. Simmons stated that parking and layout meets City's codes. Observation of current traffic suggest that the proposed development and layout will result in undesirable conditions. Right now there is a full parking lot before we add the second restaurant. This may be a self correcting problem in terms of dissatisfied customers finding some other place to go if they can't find a parking place. Mr. Morris asked relative to the strand of trees. Mr. Blount stated that Arby's has no problem with replacing the trees. Mr. Carli stated that for us to make concessions on a site plan to create parking close to the lake would be an injustice to our City for that area. We have a situation out there where they are operating at full capa- city. There are a lot of places that he would encourage and that would not create an adverse condition. Mr. Morris stated that he has agreed whole heartedly with the Chairman and would encourage Arby's to do exactly that; however, the site plan meets our existing City code and it is not encutmbent upon this body to make economic deci- sions. Mr. Morris moved on approval of the site plan. Mr. Dennison seconded. Mr. Carli stated that although a lot of things meet the City code, a lot of things are not good for the City of Sanford. The City of Sanford has plenty of ccav ercial space available on the industrial strip of 17 -92 where Arby's can fit into. Mr. Morris, Mr. Malone, Mr. Brooks, and Mr. Dennison in favor of the motion. Mr. Carli, Mr. LeRoy, and Mr. Davidson opposed. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for a change of use for Sanford Court Motel to a business office use located at 2621 Orlando Drive in a GC -2 zone. Owner: Rosa Payton; representative: T. Kim Townsend. Mr. Townsend, Engineering Services, 601 East 25th Street, stated that since 1950 this building has been used as a motel. Proposing to lease out as a business. There will be no outside storage of any materials. Mr. Dennison asked if the shed would be demolished and if the grassed area was available for parking. Mr. Townsend said that they had contacted FDOT and they did not have any problems with this site as long as the impervious area was not changed. If any paving should be done, a drainage situation would occur. Hoped to not create any hardship on the client by additional paving. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of December 15, 1988 Page 4 Mr. Simmons stated that recommendations from the Fire Department resulted in an alter- nate parking arrangement to provide for a fire lane. Comments from Engineering and Zoning that are favorable to continuing the parking as it is now against the building. The preferable arrangement would be to allow the parking against the building; however, he does not want to override the Fire Marshall inabsentia. Mr. Simmons requested if Planning and Zoning was going to approve the drawing and proposal in general, request they approve it with one or the other of the two alternatives and to allow a review afterwards with the understanding that the preferred alternative, parking against the building, is being recommended unless the Fire Marshall cites overriding reasons to switch over. Mr. Morris asked why is the City requiring one way traffic entering off 17 -92 and and exiting onto 27th Street. There is plenty of roan for egress /ingress on both streets. He didn't think the City should restrict the entrance off of 27th Street. Mr. Sim[wns stated that the existing pavement is not wide enough to support two way traffic and perpendicular parking, which has pretty much became mandatory with you have two way traffic. Mr. Malone moved on approval of the site plan as presented. Mr. Dennison seconded. All in favor. Mr. Morris and Mr. LeRoy opposed. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the site plan was presented with two parking layouts. Mr. LeRoy moved to reconsider with parking against the building. All in favor to reconsider. Motion carried. All in favor of the motion with Mr. Morris and Mr. LeRoy opposed. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for the Anderson Triplex, a multi - family use located at 1011 Oleander Avenue in a MR -1 zone. Owner: Delores & J.W. Anderson; representative: Bo Abernathy. Mr. Abernathy, architect, stated that this will be rental property only. There will be 3 two-- bedroon, one bath apartments. On the existing site there is a wood frame house that will be demolished. Parking will be in front right off Oleander with an entrance and six parking spaces. There will be no on -site management. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the mulched parking lot will be maintained by the owners. Mr. Malone moved on approval. Seconded by Mr. Brooks. There will be a total of 1830 square feet. All in favor of the motion with Mr. Davidson opposed. Motion carried. On the Addendum to the Agenda was the consideration of the request to allow temporary parking on the unpaved areas of the site for Budget Car Sales, 4274 Orlando Drive in a GC -2 zone. Representa -tive: Jeff Pascarella. Due to lack of representation Mr. Dennison moved to disapprove. Mr. Morris seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of December 15, 1988 Page 5 The proponent for Item 3 asked to be heard. Mr. Morris moved to remove Item 3 back framm the table. Seconded by Mr. Davidson. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. John Koval, 201 N. Maple Avenue stated that he had been waiting for this building since September of 1987. The automobile window film will be applied with soap and water and will be done by appointment only. When asked why he recommended denial of the use, Mr. Marder stated that the building is designed in a certain manner, it is basically an office building. Automotive uses generally have cars parked in and around with activities being conducted on various parts of the premises. Automotive uses are generally different than what the building is designed to accommodate. Mr. Morris stated that the auto window tinting will not be beneficial to this piece of property and moved in opposition to the Conditional Use. Seconded by Mr. LeRoy. Mr. Malone asked what would happen if we dropped automotive auto tinting and replaced it with glass tinting or window tinting. Mr. Simmons stated that his greatest concern would be the presence of a number of cars perhaps waiting to be worked on and vehicles being worked on out of doors instead of being worked on under cover. It could be approved with conditions by requiring any work done on any vehicle to be done indoors and that no more than a specified number of vehicles be allowed to be in a waiting tube. All opposed to the motion with Mr. Morris and Mr. LeRoy in favor. Mr. Brooks moved on approval subject to one car being worked on at a time with no more than two waiting. All in favor. Mr. Morris and Mr. LeRoy opposed. Mr. Morris made motion to approve the minutes as circulated. Mr. Brooks seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned.
