The meeting was called to order by the Chairman.
The first order of business was a public hearing to consider the
request of Mr. William Morgan, property owner, to rezone from SR -lAA,
Single - Family Residential District, to MR -2, Multiple- Family Residen-
tial Dwelling District, that property described as: Commencing 75 N
801 feet E of SW corner Government Lot 3, Section 10, Township 20 S,
Range 30 E, run N 417.42 feet, E 417.42 feet, S 417.42 feet, W 417.42
feet to POB, Seminole County Florida. Being more generally described
as located opposite the Park Ridge Subdivision on the north side of
Lake Mary Boulevard, and east of Arch Lane.
The Chairman asked if anyone were present to speak either for,
or against, this change in zoning, and no one appeared.
After determining that on the abutting property to the northeast
there were duplex homes, directly on the north there were single -
family and duplex homes, and on the west there were single- family
homes, the consensus was that SR -1 would be more compatible zoning
for this recently annexed property.
After consideration, Mr. Karns moved to deny the request for a
recommendation of MR -2 District, and to recommend to the City Commis-
sion the rezoning of the previously described part of Government Lot
3 in Section 10, Township 20S, Range 30E, from SR -IAA, Single - Family

Residential District, to that of SR -1, Single - Family Residential
Dwelling District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis and was
carried.
Consideration was next given to a site plan for a 58,280 square
foot addition to the Zayre shopping center at the northwest corner of
Airport Boulevard and US 17 -92, which was presented by Mr. Frank Hucks,
of W. Brooks and Associates, the general contractor for Kimco Corpora-
tion, owner - developer of the shopping center.
After a discussion of the poor appearance of the Zayre shopping
center, which was developed before the Planning and Zoning Commission
had site plan approval, Mr. Hucks said that Kimco would clean up the
perimeter area of the parking lot, seed, and maintain it.
After further discussion, Mr. Hucks agreed that Kimco Corporation
will provide landscaping to include ground cover around the perimeter
of the parking lot and some trees, and to submit a landscaping plan
to the board.
On the motion of Mr. Franklin, seconded by Mr. Sloan and carried,
the site plan for an addition to the Zayre shopping center was approved
contingent upon landscaping plan approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and the landscaping be completed according to this plan
before the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Consideration was next given to rezoning of annexed property in
Park View Addition, south of 28th Street, between Magnolia and Palmetto
Avenue. The consensus was that the zoning should remain the same until
a request for rezoning is made by property owners.
Mr. Bill Blackwelder of Palmer Electric Company, Winter Park,
next appeared to request approval of a conditional use in RC -1 District
for a ground sign for the 7 -11 Store on Country Club Road. Mr. Black-
welder told the board that the front of the store had been remodeled
and they wish to replace the existing non - conforming sign which is
located at the ridge of the right -of -way. They propose to place an
80 square foot ground sign, overall height of 24 feet, 5k feet from
the right -of -way.
After consideration, Mr. Berrien moved to approve the ground sign
as a conditional use in RC -1 District at the 7 -11 Store on Country
Club Road. The motion was secondeq by Mr. Moncrief and was carried.
Mr. Gerald Sile, 2041 Dyan Way, Maitland, and Mr. Roy Smith,
2887 S. Osceola, Orlando, next appeared to get the opinion of the
board on rezoning, after annexation, of approximately seven acres of
property on Airport Boulevard in the vicinity of the main gate of the

Sanford Airport. They wanted to know if it would be feasible for
them to request zoning for light industry. The Chairman told Mr. Sile
and Mr. Smith that after the City Planner had checked the property and
reported his ideas to the board, they would be contacted.
A discussion was next held on the need for amending the Zoning
Ordinance to provide for condominium construction. The City Planner
submitted some suggested guide lines and standards to govern townhouses
and cluster homes, which he recommended be added to the Zoning Ordinance
in MR -1 District under density controls. He felt there really was not
a need for condominiums in the ordinance because condominium is not a
description or design, but a type of ownership.
A Mini -PUD zone was brought up as a possible solution for condo-
minium construction. The City Planner suggested it would be preferable
to reduce the 100 acre limit on the existing PUD and put some additional
restrictions on it. He told the board that a lot of Florida cities and
counties have now taken out restrictions on the size of a PUD, except
where there is a mixture of uses. The City Planner was asked to check
with adjoining counties to see how successful this was, and further
discussion was tabled until the next meeting.
The Chairman next asked the Building Official to ask the City
Manager to inquire of the City Attorney if there were some way that
development costs could be waived if someone is going to build houses
below a certain cost, and still have it legal to collect development
costs from the rest of the people.
After the City Planner informed the board that it was necessary
to formally adopt as a guideline the Development Guidelines in order
to satisfy the requirements of the Workable Program, the following
resolution was passed and adopted on the motion of Mr. Karns, which
was seconded by Mr. Berrien and was carried.

The City Planner next reported his findings of other cities re-
quirements for off- street parking for shopping centers. He said he
could not find any city that has different requirements for shopping
centers thati for retail commercial, they do break them down to drug
store and grocery store, but all .other requirements are the same.

consider amending Article VI, 2. Off- Street Parking Requirements,
sub - paragraph (18) to read: Drug Stores_ and Super Markets Ten
spaces for each 1,000 square feet of retail floor area.
