The meeting was called to order at 7 :30 P.M. by the Chairman, J. Q. Galloway.
The first item for consideration was a Public Hearing for a Conditional Use
of gas pumps and canopy in the RC -1 zoned district at 1116 Celery Ave. for
Lil' Champ Food Store, represented by Thomas Whigham and Elmer Rorrer,
District Manager of Lil' Champ.
He said they want the gasoline pumps to accommodate their present customers
and do not believe it will create more traffic than at the present time.
They had a site plan to show the proposed gas pumps and canopy. Mr. Whigham
said they will comply with all fire and building codes and would not be a
threat to any service -type stations.
There were four people to speak in opposition: Lewis Coombs, 1122 Celery
Ave. owner of Butch's Service Station, Carl Cline, 1118 Celery Ave., Mgr.
of the laundromat, Wilton Hooks, who said he thinks the need is for more
full - service stations instead of self -serve stations, and Mr. Coffin, who
objected for the same reasons as Mr. Hooks.
After discussion regarding the conditional use, Mr. Barks moved to approve.
Mr. Miller seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting vote of Mr. Franklin,
who felt an additional gas station would increase an already hazardous sit-
uation.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider a conditional use for the
sale of beer and wine for consumption on the premises at 1129 W. 13th St.
in the GC -2 zoned district. The proponent, Mr. Sung K. Kim, was not present
and had contacted the Building Department earlier and said he did not want
"consumption on the premises ", but really needed "consumption off premise ",
which is a permitted use. The Public Notice was read and dismissed.
The next item was a site plan for storage and office area at the mini - warehouse
location at 2905 Orlando Drive for Cardinal Industries, represented by Carl
Pittman. He said all sanitary services had been complied with and the site
plan met the approval of engineering. Mr. Winn said the building department
would handle all requirements of the building codes and requirements. Mr.
Miller moved to approve. Mr. Grieme seconded. Motion carried.
The next site plan for consideration was for Triple County Medical Center in
the RMOI zoned district at 309 -321 Mangoustine Ave. represented by Larry
Derryberry and Dr. Kenneth Wing. He said the building will accommodate six
doctors and a pharmacy and the application had been made for a variance from

was present to represent the plan. He said he needs to add a reception
room, double the secretarial area, add one chair and create a storage area.
Mr. Barks moved to approve. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried.
The next site plan for consideration was for an office addition to Florida
Public Utilities at 901 W. 6th St., represented by LeRoy Robb and Arthur

Mr. Franklin moved to approve. Mr. Grieme seconded. Motion carried.
