Dwelling District, be postponed from August 16, 1973, to the next
meeting on September 6, 1973.
On motion of Mr. Logan, seconded by Mr. Gisbhler and carried, the
date of September 6, 1973, wassset to hold a public hearing to
consider such request for rezoning.
Consideration was next given to the site plan for an addition and
renovation of the Seminole County Jail. Sheriff John Polk explained
that the plan was for a two -story addition withing the security com-
pound and remodeling the ground floor 6f the existing building to
provide for a more efficient operation without the need of more
parking spaces. The trailer, now used for the detective division,
located on City parking lot, will no longer be needed, thus re-
leasing ten spaces for parking use.
The City Manager reported that the City and the County are working
together toward solving the parking problem. They are now awAlUgg
the traffic engineering study which is due the third week in Novem-
ber. He advised the board to consider that the concept of the use
of this site is not normal and thus would not fall under normal
regulAtions for parking requirements. The County and City, with
cooperation, will find a solution to the problem of providing for
parking needs.
After consideration and discussion, on motion of Mr. Logan, seconded
by Mr. Sloan and carried by unanimous vote, the site plan for an
addition and renovation of the Seminole County Jail was approved.
Mr. J. S. "Red" Cleveland, Airport Manager, next presented three site
plans for sites at the Sanford Airport. Mr. Cleveland explained to
the board that before any construction or additions are made on the
Airport, plans are subject to approval by both state and federal
agencies. The FAA has final say on any change or addition on the
Airport.
After discussion, Mr. Karns made a motion to recommend to the City
Commission that apporval of site plans within the confines of the
Sanford Airport property, except locations within 200 feet of its
boundary, be delegated to the Airport Authority. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Logan and carried by unanimous vote.
After review, a motion was made by Mr. Logan, seconded by Mr. Sloan
and carried, to approve the following site plans Attthe Sanford
Airport:
1. Addition to commercial building No. 9A.
2. Construction of T- hangars.
3. Addition to existing steel building No. 128.

Mr. Sid Vihlen, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, next
addressed the board regarding the overall expansion plan of the
County government. The decision has been made to build a new security
complex, probably at Five Points; but, more pertinent to the Planning
and Zoning Commission, a third floor will be constructed on the
judicial wing of the court house. This addition to the court house
will create another parking problem and add to the downtown parking
crisis. The County is interested in solving the parking problem and
hopes to solve it without sacrificing any of the green area surrounding
the court house. The County will continue to make an effort to work
with the City Commission on parking.
The Chairman reported that the required paving had not been completed
at the Fite building at French Avenue and 25th Street. The City
Manager said that he would check into the matter and report back on
it at the September 6th meeting.
The Building Official asked for a clarification in the ZdhiNg Ordinance
on the requirements for setbacks of accessory buildings. The City
Planner was requested to define such requirements for a report at
the next meeting.
After discussion, the Chairman requested the Building Official to send
for a copy of House Bill No. 1914, an act relating to municipal annexa-
tion in Seminole County.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
