He submitted his driveway permits and said they should close on the purchase of the property from the city about 10 days after approval of the site plan.

The next item for discussion was a Public Hearing for a conditional use to manufacture both marine and household wood products for Seaworthy Wood Products, Inc., at 1221 State St. represented by Mr. Herbert Stenstrom and the president of the company, Mr. Kruger.

Mrs. Roberts moved to approve the conditional use, site plan and change of use as presented. Mr. Morris seconded. Motion carried. The next item for discussion was a Public Hearing for a conditional use of a single-family dwelling with 1191 sq. ft. living area in the SR -lA zoned district at 601 E. 14th St., represented by Robert Sigler and Raymond O'Brien. He said they were requesting square footage above the minimum requirement under "conditional use ". Mr. O'Brien was present and said he owns property in Sanford and wants to move to the area and plans a concrete block house with a brick front. Mrs. Margaret McCall was present to request the builder reconsider and build a larger home. She feels the smaller homes already in the area depreciates the surrounding property. After discussion, it was the feeling of the board that the quality of the house planned would not be detrimental and would be better than some already built in the area. Mr. Foggin moved to approve the plan as presented. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried. The next item for discussion was a site plan for condominiums in the PUD zoned district in the remaining northern section of the Sanora Subdivision (Replat of Sanora, Units 1 & 2) represented by Roger Timlin, of Dan -Way, Inc. He furnished the board with information on the existing PUD, and pointed out that 148 units were completed in an area platted originally for 156. The original plat also designated services for 205 single family and 197 were actually developed so the density overall would not exceed the original plan, even though they now want to put in 17 units which would be 8 less than the original plan, and right next to the area where the density has already been reduced. Mr. Morris said he was concerned about the possible precedence in allowing the 17 units. Mr. Willis said since the density of the entire PUD has been de- creased, he didn't feel this request would be changing anything. Mr. Foggin moved to approve. Mr. Whigham seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting votes of Mr. Morris and Mrs. Roberts. The next site plan for consideration was for Phases V & VI for an addition to the existing Phases II and IV in the MI -2 zoned district at 901 Cornwall Rd. represented by Garnett White for the Montezuma Corporation. The site plan met all requirements of the city. Mrs. Roberts moved to approve the site plan on the condition that a permit be obtained from the Health Dept. for a septic tank. Mr. Morris seconded. Motion carried. The next discussion was regarding a site plan presented by Joann Prager and Tom West for the Seminole County Humane Society. The building is located in the city at the NE corner of 17 -92 and County Home Road and the driveway is shown to be in the county. It was explained that there would be a septic tank and drain field and the parking area for 16 cars will be paved. The building -2- MINUTES - Planning & Zoning Commission - July 2, 1981 - 7 :00 P.M. Page 3 The building will be 85 ft. from any right -of -way and 200 ft. from any other boundary line. The animals will be kept inside the building with a capacity for about 80 dogs and cats. After discussion, Mrs. Roberts moved to approve with the stipulation that the septic tank be approved and conditional to final engineering requirements. Mr. Foggin seconded. Motion carried. The next item for discussion was a site plan for two quadruplexes in the MR -1 zoned district at 1305 Pinta Ave. represented by Andrew Kutz. He said no revisions had been made to the plans but that he plans to retain the natural vegetation as much as possible and would comply with the engineering require- ments for relocating the existing water line on Pine Ave. and on Hickory Ave. He said he would request 1100 sq. ft. per unit, including 2 bedrooms, 2 baths at a selling price of less than $50,000 per unit. Mr. Morris moved to approve. Mr. Foggin seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Herbert Cherry was present to request.from the floor, a site plan for a barber and beauty shop on Sanford Ave. between 5th & 6th St. This present building is a garage and Mr. Cherry requested the off - street parking require- ment be waived. He said he would construct a sidewalk leading back to the Barbershop from the street and according to regulations, only 2 parking spaces are required. It was determined that even though there is off - street parking space, there can be no access from the alley, which makes it a hardship case. Mr. Willis moved to approve by utilizing parking on the street and a sidewalk to be provided to the street. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried. Mrs. Sadie Gazil was present to request the sale of beer and wine on the premises at the Fox Fire Restaurant. This conditional use was advertised and on the agenda of the June 18, 1981 meeting and Mrs. Gazil said there was a misunderstanding regarding the date of the meeting and so she came to request consideration from the floor. She said there are 110 seats and the hours during the week are 7 :00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. and 24 hours on the weekend. Mrs. Roberts moved to recommend approval. Mr. Morris seconded. Motion carried. The next discussion was on a possible requirement for parking for mini - warehouses. Miss Rogers submitted pictures taken at different times at different locations, which showed very few cars at any time. Several suggestions were made as to possible requirements as to size of warehouse, number of employees, etc. Mr. Andrew Kutz offered to enter the discussion and said there are three sizes of warehouse popular in the area now; mini, medium and maximum size and up to a certain size it would be nearly impossible to move people in to operate from the warehouse. Mr. Willis said he felt something should be written that the Building Dept. could issue a permit on, regarding that it should be for storage only and the problem would be to the owner. It was pointed out that it would be dif- ficult to police the situation and if the building is used €br storage only, minimum parking space is needed and we already have an ordinance for parking for office use. It was decided to continue the discussion at the next meeting. Chairman Galloway announced that his one -yr. term as Chairman has expired and he would prefer the board elect a new Chairman for the next year. After dis- cussion it was felt that there should be 100% attendance when nominations are made for a new Chairman and Vice - Chairman. The secretary was instructed to include in the Minutes the importance of everyone being present at the meeting of July 16 1981 for the purpose of this im ortant matter. -3- MINUTES - Planning & Zoning Commission - July 2, 1981 - 7 :00 P.M.
