The first item on the agenda was a public hearing to consider a conditional use in a

new and used, sales and service, represented by Joe Abrams and Dale McConnell. Mr.
McConnell would be selling only used cars. The reparrs would be made to the vehicles
he is going to sell and would not be open for the public to bring their cars in for
repairs. All of the repairs would be done inside of the building and any inoperable
vehicles would be kept inside of the building. There was no one present to speak in
opposition. After discussion, Mr. Keithmoved to approve the conditional use. Mr.
Grieme seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
The next item was to consider a site plan for 2 duplexes located at 2516 & 2520 Oak Avenue
in a GC -2 zone, represented by Gene Forbes for All State Homes. Mr. Carli stated that
he would like to see additional landscaping on the west side of lots 17 and 19 and Mr.
Forbes agreed. After discussion on setbacks, Mr. Carli moved to approve the site plan
as amended with the additional landscaping on the west side of lots 17 & 19. Mr. Malone
seconded. Motion carried unanimously. -
The next item was to consider a site plan for a quadruplex located at 2550 Park Avenue
in a MR -1 zone, represented by Richard Tracy for Abcom II. The quadruplex will be similar
to the existing ones in the area. There will be a street lamp installed and the entrance
will be on Park Avenue. The easement for the sewer and manhole connections are being
worked on the present time. A tree survey will be submitted and they will save as many
trees as possible. Each unit will have 900 sq. ft. living area. After discussion,
Mr. Malone moved to approve the site plan. Mr. Keith seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
The site plan for a shopping center located at the SE corner of Mellonville Avenue and
25th Street was not reviewed because Mr. Sandefur submitted a letter stating he decided
to withdraw the site plan.
Mr. Carli brought to the Staff's attention about Frazier Auto Sales located at 17 -92 by
Airport Blvd., at the time he came for site plan review, he was only allowed to have 10
cars parked on the lot. The new owner presently has 15 to 20 cars parked on the lot.
Mr. Carli would like the staff to make sure the new owner abides by the approved side plan.

Mrs. Sonnenberg asked the boards feeling about a 4 unit apartment house being moved from
the corner of 5th Street and Park Avenue to the undeveloped quadruplex site at 4th Street
and Myrtle Avenue where Homes on the Park are located. She stated that Mr. Glenn would
restore the building. After discussion, the board unanimously agreed that they would
like to go look at both sites before they make a decision.
Mr. Keith was concerned about the setbacks for a duplex located at Georgia & Osceola
next to a single - family residence. The entrance and exit doors are located on the side
yard which makes it very close to the residence. He would like to see something done
in reference to setbacks when the doors are located on the sides. Mr. Simmons told the
members that we could require no doors on side yards that have 10 feet or less for side
yard setbacks.
Mr. Morris requested that the staff ask City Commission to consider establishing an
architectural review board to assist Planning and Zoning in its evaluation and review
of site plans and their compatibility with Sanfords existing architecture.
The board asked the Scenic Improvement Board, in its review of the landscape regulation
for the City Commission, to consider requiring some type of maintenance requirements for
the upkeep of the requisite landscaping.
Mr. Simmons asked the board if it would be alright for the staff to make a statement on
a technical basis for the recommendations instead of just saying recommend approval.
The board agreed that it would be fine.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
