The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 8 :00 P. M
The first item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider
rezoning the NE corner of Holly Ave. and W. 25th St., Lots 1, 2
and 3, Dreamwold, 3rd Section, from RMOI to RC -1, for a Cumberland
Farms convenience store and self serve gasoline. Mr. William Selig
was present to speak in favor of the request.
Present to speak in opposition was Mrs. Augusto, 614 Sarita St., who
offered the following letter in opposition:
July 1, 1976 - To The Planning and Zoning Commission:
"We, the property owners and citizens of Sanford, are opposed to the
rezoning of property described as Lots 1, 2, 3 Blk 13, Dreamwold,
3rd Section, being more generally described as located at the NE
corner of Holly and 25th St. for a convenience store and self service
gasoline.
We have enough traffic congestion as it is with Winn - Dixie, Handy
Food Store and 3 gas stations within a block. At :times the traffic
is lined up from 17 -92 to Holly Ave. and cars have a lot of trouble
getting out of Winn Dixie driveway and it's almost impossible to get
out of the Handy Food Store driveway.
Three service stations within a block away is adequate to fulfill the
needs, therefore, we don't feel we need another, therefore, we who have
signed below are opposed to this zoning change. We are unable to attend
meeting because of illness or other commitments."
Signed: Mrs. Mary Swankhous -25th St.: Mr. J. C. Williams: Mrs. Ernest
Stevens: Clemence Leonard, 25th St.: Mrs. Nobles, Sarita tt.,: A.J.

The Board felt that RC -1 zoned district is primarily to provide
neighborhood commercial where the services are needed, and due to existing
services and the potential increase in traffic hazards, denial was
recommended. Mr. Sloan moved to deny, Mr. Galloway seconded. Motion
carried.
The minutes of the last meeting were approved as mailed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Arthur Harris, Chairman
