Airport Blvd. is being purchased by the Sanford Christian Church. They wish to place a Christian educational facility in the existing structure. The other property owners joined with the rezone request for future planning of Airport Blvd. Mr. Carli asked Mr. Simmons if he had any knowledge of the setback requirement and construction scheduling for Airport Blvd. Mr. Simmons stated that he did not know the right -of -way required, but that the County is requiring 152 ft. for Lake Mary Blvd. which possibly will be six lanes. Mr. John Waddle, representative for the prospective purchase, said that the church intended to use 129 W. Airport Blvd. for a day care center, which is not permitted use in the RMOI zoning, in conjunction with a K through 12 Christian learning center behind on adjacent property.

The next item was a public hearing for a request to rezone property located at 2530 Or- ange Avenue from RI -1 to MR -1 for the purpose of multiple family dwellings. Mr. Dennison, owner and applicant, request approvel based on the fact that multiple family is a better use for the area than an industrial use and that it would then be in compliance with the' Future Land Use Plan Map. The commission felt that a MR -1 zone would be spot zoning, but that SR -1 would be compatible with the area and would allow as a conditional use a duplex. Mr. Dennison said that be probably only want a duplex and would agree with the SR -1 zoning. Mr. Carli moved to recommend the request to rezone from RI -1 to SR -1 zoning. Mr. Grieme seconded. Motion carried unanimously. The planner had recommended SR -1 instead of MR -1 for this area based on the existing residential character. The next item was the request from the City Commission to consider the request to rezone MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING - May 15, 1986 - 7 :00 P.M.

Mr. Jackson, owner, stated that his wife did not understand that he intended to build four unit structures, with two apartment upstairs and two downstairs. He would like to have two buildings on lot 79 and one behind his house of lot 80. Although there was no opposition to Mr. Jackson's origianl request, the board felt that the public should have an opportunity to express their opinion regarding quadraplex as the original advertisement stated the purpose for the rezoning was for duplex. A motion made by Mr. Carli, seconded by Mr. Malone, directed staff to readvertise the rezoning request for the purpose of quadraplex and to notify all property owners. The Chairman felt that it was not prudent at this time to act on the request from the City Commission for a request for an amendment to the zoning ordinance that would allow single family residences in a MR-1 zone with the following density controls: Minimum lot size - 5,000 square feet Minimum lot width - 50 feet Minimum front yard setback - 20 feet Minimum rear yard setback - 20 feet Minimum side yard setback - 5 feet Minimum required living area - 900 square feet Maximum lot coverage - 35% Maximum structure height - 35 feet.

The sign will be adjacent to the west entrance and 20 feet from the future Airport B1. right -of -way and 30 feet from the edge of the driveway. Mr. Carli moved on approval. Mr. Grieme seconded. The motion carried. Mrs. Sonnenberg asked the commission for their opinion on the use of a frozen custard business in a RC -1 zone. She had an inquiry regarding a piece of property at French Av. and 20th St. Even though this type of business is not considered a restaurant by the licensing department of the state and the City, the board felt that this use was the epitome of fast foods and as such would not be allowed in RC -1 zoning. Mrs. Sonnenberg also had a request for an opinion on a like business in a SC -3 zone on 2nd Street and Park Ave. The board felt that it would be allowed in that zoning. A request was forwarded to the commission regarding their feelings on a teen center to be located in the Fairway Plaza. The Building Official had had a request as to the pro- cedures necessary for opening a teen center at that location. Although the use would be permitted as an enclosed recreational establishment, he wanted the board to be aware of the request because teen centers can be potential trouble spots. The board felt that the applicant should go before the Youth Advisory Committee for their imput and recommendation and then go before the City Commission for their approval. Mr. Simmons reported on the progress on the Joint Planning Agreement. He has met with Ken Hooper of the County and has received a draft of an agreement with five points for review. Mr. Grieme brought up the reoccuring problem with the parking of cars far sale at San- MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - MAY 15, 1986 - 7:00 P.M.

Mr. Grieme also said that the stop signs at Seminole Centre have not been replaced and the driving conditions are still hazardous. Mr. Simmons said that he has not received an answer to his letter regarding site correction, but the City has a $100,000 letter of credit that provides the City with some leverage. Mr. Morris said that he had not been in touch with the City Commission regarding liasion with the Board of Adjustment and the Code Enforcement board and the Planning and - coning Commission. It was suggested that the minutes between these boards be circulated. Mr. Carli moved, second by Mr. Grieme. Motion carried. Mr. Malone questioned the removal of the sheds, that had had site plan approval,with replacement of utility trailers. It was stated that there was no change of use. The Chairman suggested guidelines be established for requirements for the Licensing Department for new business. The minutes were approved as circulated on a motion by Mr. Carli, seconded by Mr. Grieme. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Jo n Morris, Chairman Item No. 5: Consider the site plan for Page school, 118 W. Airport Blvd., a school located in a MR -1 zone, represented by Andrew Kutz. There was discussion on the health code. A permit would be required for the pool by the State and Co. There is a chain link fence up now. There should be signs at the NE side saying "no exit ". Mr. Carli asked to fill in fence area with foliage, but Mr. Kutz said no because the intent is to keep it clean and open with no hedges. After discussion, Mr. Malone moved to approve the site plan. Mr. LeRoy seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
