The meeting was called to order by the Chairman.
The first item of business was to hold a public hearing to
consider a request to rezone from SR -1AA, Single- Family Residential
District, to MI -2, Medium Industrial District, Lots 5 and 8, Block
10 A. B. Russell's Addition to Fort Reed, newly annexed property
on the north of Wylly Avenue and west of Seaboard Coast Line Rail-
road.
Mr. W. Garnett White, representing W. L. Kirk, owner of the
property, and William E. Marsh, purchaser of the property, spoke
in favor of the rezoning.
Mr. White explained the planned use for this property is for
septic tank manufacture, sale and disposition, and this area along
the railroad track and on a paved road was ideal. There would be
a 12 to 15 foot trestle used to raise and lower the molds for the
septic tanks, a small office, and sand piles for concrete located
on the property.
No one was present to speak in opposition to the rezoning
request.

Mr. J. S. "Red" Cleveland, Airport Manager, next presented

the street in the front and a provision for 30 off - street parking
spaces to the rear of the building.
The Chairman stated that this board could not approve off -
street parking designed so that cars would have to back out onto
the street. The City Manager suggested that the board take into
consideration that the use of this building would not be the normal
office use; 50% of floor space would be used for testing equipment
and storage - not a use that would generate the need for parking
space; there would be no retail trade. Considering the use of the
building, there would be a need for only 26 off- street parking
spaces. In discussion provision of landscaping on the site plan,
it was brought out that landscaping would increase the problem of
security at the Crime Lab.
After further discussion, Mr. Karns made a motion to approve
the site plan for the Crime Lab at the Sanford Airport with the
provision for 30 off- street parking spaces to the rear of the
building. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sloan and carried.
Mr. H. J. Slabaugh of the Krystal Company next presented for
review the site plan for a Krystal Restaurant at the southwest
corner of US 17 -92 and Airport Boulevard. After review and
consideration of the reports of the City Engineer and the City
Planner, Mr. Loggn made the motion to approve the site plan
with the following stipulations: fill must meet all requirements
of Florida State Polution Control; all drainage on site shall be
to the east into City approved catch basin; all drainage shall be
approved by the City Engineer; increase the parking space size to
meet City requirements and increase the turning radius at entrance;
incorporate trees in a five -foot border at parking spaces, or
other landscaping, and additional plantings around the proposed
lift station in the southwest corner; install state approved de-
celeration and acceleration lanes. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Berrien and was carried.
Consideration was next given to a request submitted from
Condev Corporation of Winter Park, Florida, asking for a prelimi-
nary recommendation for industrial zoning for property located
on East Jewett Lane which they would like to have annexed to the
City of Sanford. They propose to build a manufacturing plant to
manufacture floor systems, wall sections, and roof systems for
houses and apartments. After discussion, a motion was made by
Mr. Blacksheare that when the property is annexed the Planning
and Zoning Commission would be in favor of recommending industrial
