The meeting was called to order by Dave Berrien, Acting
Chairman in the absence of Arthur Harris, Chairman.
The first item on the agenda was a site plan presented
by Ralph Betts, 1507 Sanford Ave., on behalf of Ellen Betts.
Request is for expansion of the present store, on the south
side, with ample parking spaces, planting, and established
requirements as to water, sewer and drainage. Mr. Franklin
moved to approve the plan, seconded by Mr. Davis. Motion
carried. No one appeared in opposition.
The next item was a site plan for a Day Care Center at 2400
French Avenue with Mr. Jim Stump representing Louis Tobin. There
is ample parking space for employees and customers, and the City
Planner suggested that two parking spaces for employees be lined
off, on the pavement, 10' X 20' each. Mr. Blacksheare moved to
accept the plan, Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried.
Site plans for a restaurant at 301 Sanford Ave., and an
Industrial Building at the Sanford Airport were cancelled be-
cause of no representation present.

Mr. Braceland brought up for review the request for a
conditional use of 109 Palmetto Ave. as a screen enclosure
business, with Mr. Elmer Smith present. He pointed out that
at the time of the original request it was not granted because
of the impression that the business represented manufacturing;
but with a closer look, it was decided that he is only assembling
fabricated parts, some in the shop, and some on the job. Mr.
Franklin moved to grant the request, Mr. Gischler seconded.
Motion carried.
The next item for discussion was the "Resolution Relating
To Improvement of Access To The Sanford Airport ", sent out to
the City by the Sanford Airport Authority. Mr. W. E. Knowles
remarked to the members that the Planning and Zoning Board
had considered this at some length in the past in a long -range
plan before I -4 was envisioned and had decided to encourage the
use of Lake Mary Boulevard and 25th Street instead of four - laning
Airport Boulevard between 17 -92 and Sanford Avenue. The Lake
Mary extension would be east of 17492, around the City, and it
would be a combined project between City of Lake Mary and the
City of Sanford, with the local property owners. The Chairman
suggested that since this Board had expressed it's opinion
before, he felt it wise to retain that stand on the matter.
Mr. Knowles volunteered to answer the Airport Authority on the
matter for the Board, and was instructed to do so.
The next item for discussion was the possibility of making
Day Care Centers a conditional use in Residential Districts. It
was brought up that there have been a few minor problems regarding
this in the past, and felt it warranted some discussion; and if
this was done, it would have to have careful consideration since
not every section is conducive. Mr. Blacksheare moved that Day
Care Centers not be included as conditional use, seconded by
Mr. Franklin. Motion carried.
The next discussion centered around the fact that there is
no provision in RMOI or MR -2 to allow Beauty Shops or Barber
Shops, and that perhaps this should be altered. After discussion,
it was decided this would need some research and requested the
City Planner to come back with some recommendations on making
the change.
Mr. Davis brought up the fact that Mr. Jack Leffler,
American Rent -All, wants to put in an addition to h1i present

building for storage space and asked for information as to what
he needs to do. The mbmbers agreed that there seems to be no
problem or objection as long as there is ample parking space,
and proper site plan is submitted for approval.
Mr. Gischler made a motion to accept the minutes of the
last meeting. Mr. Blacksheare seconded.
There being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned.
Arthur H. Harris, Chairman
