Mr. Lathan stated that the property has been put up for sale two previous times, but the zoning is keeping it from selling. The property is bounded by Gramkow, Page School, and the church. There is no residential use abutting the property. The hours of the professional offices would be 8 or 9 A.M. to 5 or 6 P.M. People would not be affected by the noise as much as the school. The traffic would not be affected any more than a residential area. There would be no convenience store and no alcoholic beverages. The two groups of people affected by the rezone would be the tax payers and Pinecrest Baptist Church. There was no one present to speak in opposition. Staff recommended approval. Mr. Carli moved to approve the rezone. Mr. LeRoy seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting vote of Mr. Davidson.

The construction would begin as soon as the approval is given. The DER permit has been applied for but have not received it. The process has been started through the St. Johns River Management. Due to the size of the building and density, the buildings being placed on the property will cause extremely few trees to be saved, but the trees will be replaced.

There would be one parking space for the 1 employee. Mr. Carli stated that the signing and the sealing of the plans could be waived due to the plans being so readable. Mr. LeRoy questioned if there would be room for deliveries. Mr. Adamson stated that the deliveries could be made there but if it was impossible, they could deliver it to the plant. City refuse will be utilized instead of a dumpster. If there were any big items, it can be taken to the plant and placed in the dumpster. The printing would be for the business and not for profit.

Mr. Carli questioned the location of the units, kitchen and bathroom and Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that it did not have to be on the site plan because it would be under the building code. The dumpster will be placed up against the building so the alley would not have to be utilized. The fence shown on the west side will remain where it is. Mr. Keith moved to approve the site plan. Mr. LeRoy seconded. Motion carried unanimously. The next item was to consider the site plan for an office, school and a day care center for New Life Assembly, a church complex, located at 100 Kennel Road in an AD zone, represented by Pastor Ken Fleming. Rev. Fleming stated that the church was finaled in December, 1985. The modular units are being constructed in Ocala and the office and day care units are finished.

Mr. Simmons stated that water lines are in the proposed 1986/87 budget with an anticipated early start. Rev. Fleming stated that the modulars are wood constructed with fire alarms and will be hooked onto security to the fire department. The facility MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - June 19, 1986 Page 3 located on 27th Street has been sold and the office and school has to be relocated. The school will have approximately 150 students. The units are built to the building code standards. Rev. Fleming stated that the church would assume the risk before the water lines are installed. The board asked that a letter be sent to the City and the churches insurance company stating that the City would be released from any potential liability regarding inadequate fire flow and the resulting loss in fire protection. Mr. Carli moved to approve the site plan with the stipulation of the two letters sent. Mr. Keith seconded. Motion carried unanimously. The next item was to consider the modified site plan for Sanford Town Square, a shopping center, located at 1500 French Avenue in a GC -2 zone, represented by Paul Porter. Mr. Porter stated that the changes were the curbcuts on 17 -92 and the traffic flow at the bank. At the present, there are 5 curbcuts on 17 -92 and on the site plan there are 3 curbcuts. DOT approved the 3 curbcuts that were on the original site plan. The City approved 2 curbcuts with one on the north side and one on the south side. Winn Dixie stated that they could not do with the 1 entrance on the south side, that they need 2. The north entrance will have a traffic light and the south entrance will be mostly for deliveries. The bank would have a more even flow of traffic instead of having to double back. Mr. Simmons stated he saw no problem with the additional curbcut. Mr. Carli moved to approve the site plan. Mr. Keith seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting vote of Mr. Davidson. The next item was discussion on zero lot line, 50 ft. lot width for Hidden Lake Villas, Phase V & VI, located in a MR -1 zone by Mr. W. E. Knowles. Mr. Knowles stated that the vacant lots are located west of Lake Ada. The market is not there for attached units. They would take the existing 30 ft. lots and go to 50 ft. lot width with homes that comply to the SR -1 zone with the proposal of 980 sq. ft. living to 1,050 sq. ft. living units. They feel a 20 ft. setback would be more com- patible than the 25 ft. front setback. There would be 140 detached units compared to the approximately 200 attached villas. The pavement and utilities are already installed. They will be one story units. The board questioned why 50 ft. instead of 60 ft. lot width? Mr. Knowles stated it was to utilize the existing utility connections. After discussion, the board requested permission to.hold a public hearing to consider amending the zoning ordinance, Art. II, para. 51 and Art. VIII, para. 1 of subsection B. The concensus of the comission was that reducing the minimum size of the required land area for a PUD from 100 acres to 1 acre was the way to go to allow developers the ability to submit innovative developments for consideration by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission. Mrs. Sonnenberg said she had received a modified site plan for Kindercare. Seminole County had required a dedication of an extra 8 ft. of ROW for Lake Mary Blvd. before they would issue them a permit. The new property line required a new retention area. Mr. Morris remarked that this item was brought before the board as notification of staffs approval of minor modification to site plans during the 6 months trial period. Mr. Davidson informed staff that the old Park and Shop at 25th and Park Avenue is trashy looking and needs to be cleaned up. Mr. Malone questioned the trailers at 2613 Orlando Drive. It was stated that the board gave permission for display of sheds and not trailers. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated she would look into it.
