Franklin Sheila Roberts George Willis Members Absent: Forrest Foggin Frank Whigham John Morris Others Present: 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 consideration was a Public Hearing to rezone from MR -1 to GC -2, that property lying NW of U.S. 17 -92 and east of Seminole Community College. The planned use of the property is for the County Operations Center (Municipal buildings) including offices, fire station, storage building, public works operations, detention centers, animal control operations and other existing uses. Mr. Herb Hardin was present to represent the County and said they wanted the land rezoned in order to donate a portion to the Humane Society and to bring the existing buildings into conformity. There was no one present to speak in opposition. After discussion Mr. Barks moved to recommend approval. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried. The next item for discussion was a preliminary replat of 32 lots off 24th St. between Georgia Ave. and Hartwell Ave. in the SR -1 zoned district, represented by Bill Johnson for McIntosh Associates. It was the feeling of the board that unpaved streets should be paved at the time of development, as expressed by the City Engineer in the comments. After discussion, Mr. Miller moved to approve with the stipulation that Hartwell Ave. be paved. Mr. Barks seconded. Motion carried. The next item for consideration was a preliminary plat and preliminary site plan for eight (8) lots to be used as quadruplexes in the MR -2 zoned district located on Hidden Lake Drive and north of Lake Mary Boulevard. (Revised Plat, Hidden Lake, Unit 1 -A, Blk B) represented by Frank Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt said that the final plat would include all the requirements of the city and that he would be requesting a separate meter for each building. There was discussion on the cul -de -sacs being dedicated to the city and he said the plan could be changed and arrangements made for a Homeowner's Association to maintain the cul -de -sacs. Mr. Barks moved to approve the preliminary plat and preliminary site plan with the two cul -de -sacs not dedicated to the city or maintained by the city. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried. -1- MINUTES - Planning & Zoning Commission - Aug. 6, 1981 Page 2 ---- ---------- ----------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- The next item for discussion was a site plan for offices in four (4) additional buildings on the same property and just west of the mini - warehouses previously approved in the GC -2 zoned district at 2887, 2889, 2901 and 2903 Orlando Drive, represented by Kevin Spolski. The items noted in the comments from staff were addressed and Mr. Spolski said the sewer would be taken care of by a lift station, the drainage is on the owner's property and changing the parking spaces to a perpendicular configuration would be no problem. Mr. Willis moved to table the item until the site plan can be presented with the problems worked out. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting votes of Mr. Franklin and Mr. Barks. The next item, a site plan for a 1400 sq. ft. storage building at the airport, was represented by Mr. Bill Stead. He said the building will be used for the storage of ground support equipment and will be a metal building. After dis- cussion, Mr. Willis moved to approve. Mr. Barks seconded. Motion carried. The next item, presented from the floor, was a preliminary plan for a change of use from a restaurant to a vegetable and produce drive -thru, with a green- house addition at the front at 2911 Orlando Drive, formerly WUV'S restaurant. Mr. John Carli was present to represent the plan and said the reason for sub- mitting an incomplete plan was to get a preliminary approval in order to com- plete plans for a refrigeration unit to be placed at the back of the building. The City Engineer had expressed objection to the removal of five parking spaces in front of the building because he felt it might create a traffic problem with cars entering the exit land. Mr. Carli said he would get with the engineer and work out the problems and present a completed site plan. Mrs. Roberts moved to table the item until the next meeting. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion carried. There was discussion on parking requirements for mini- warehouses and the board asked that a suggested definition be typed up with the agenda for the next meeting and discussed at that time. Mr. Barks submitted the following definition: "A warehouse building which is divided into individual rental spaces or bays to be rented to the public for personal storage purposes only, none of which spaces or bays shall exceed 400 sq. ft.. Miss Rogers asked the opinion of the members of items being brought up from the floor at the meetings and it was the opinion of the board that if the Building Dept. and Engineering Dept. had approved the item it could be intro- duced from the floor. The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved after correction of Mr. Barks' definition of "mini- warehouse'. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. . Q. Galloway, Chair
