Franklin Darrell Grieme John Morris Sheila Roberts George Willis Members Absent: Cliff Miller Others Present: W. E. Knowles, City Manager Leah Rogers, Zoning Inspector The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by the Chairman, J. Q. Galloway. The first item for discussion was a site plan and change of use from a real estate office to a bus stop for Trailways, to be located at 1002 French Ave. in the GC -2 zoned district, represented by John S. Root. A memo from the City Manager to the Planning & Zoning Commission was discussed and Mr. Root said he moved into the building with the intention of drawing up a site plan and hoped to be able to use the facility. After discussion of the present traffic hazard and lack of parking facilities, Mr. Morris moved to deny the request. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried. The next item was a Public Hearing to consider rezoning from RC -1 to GC -2, the property located south of 25th St. on the east and west sides of Grandview Ave. represented by Ken Ireland, Jr. and John Dwyer, Land Development Coordinator for Seminole County. Mr. Ireland said he wants to lease the county -owned former Vehicle Inspection Station and to fabricate utility trailers and change axles on trucks, and install trailer hitches and the present zoning classification does not allow these things. Mr. Dwyer was present to speak in favor of the rezoning and said he felt that the present zoning is less restrictive than GC -2 and did not feel the proposed use was out of character for the area. Present to speak in opposition to the rezoning were: John England, Grant Haines and Chuck Leist, all residents of the surrounding area. They were opposed because they feel it would generate more traffic and bring large trucks in a heighborhood where children live and play. Adjacent property owners were also afraid the business would use Grandview Ave. as a shortcut rather than use the 25th St. entrance. After discussion, Mr. Morris moved to recommend the rezoning, providing the property be placed on the tax roll, which Mr. England had agreed to earlier. Mr. Barks seconded. Motion carried with a vote of four in favor and three in opposition. MINUTES - Planning & Zoning Commission - Dec. 2, 1982 -7 :30 P.M. Page 2 The next Public Hearing was to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance as follows: Ord. 1097, Appendix A, Article V, Sec. 9, GC -2 General Commercial District, Paragraph B. Conditional Use Permitted: Add: "(10) Enclosed Firing Range, subject to adequate safeguards and regulations." Mr. Morris moved to recommend the change. Mr. Barks seconded. Motion carried. The next item for discussion was a Public Hearing to consider the Conditional Use of a Memory Garden for the interment of ashes, to be located at 401 Park Avenue (Holy Cross Episcopal Church) in the RMOI zoned district, represented by Father Soper and Robert M. Anderson. There was a letter from the City Attorney at the request of Miss Rogers, de- fining Cemetery and said in his opinion, the request would be neither a per- mitted use.nor a conditional use and so could not be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Father Soper said he does not feel the Memory Garden as they propose, falls within the "Cemetery" definition. After discussion Mr. Barks suggested they get in touch with some other City Attorneys and present some alternatives to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Morris moved to deny, based on the City Attorney's opinion. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried, six to one.
