Property owner Mrs. Christine McCloud spoke in favor of the construction. There are not any stores close by the closest being French Avenue or 13th Street, which is dangerous for the children. There is now only a vacant lot on which she intends to put a 20x 24 building up. There will parking spaces for approximately ten to twelve cars. Mr. Harris stated that it must be constructed so that customers do not have to back out onto 8th Street, and create a hazard. Mrs. McCloud assured the Board that it would be done this way. Mr. Ruben Burch appeared in favor of the construction on 8th Street. Mr. Burch resides at 1303 W. 7th Street. The neighborhood needs a small store that will remain open later and open a little earlier than the other stores, and also one that is right in the neighbor- hood for the children to go to without having to cross main streets. Mr. Dake askedlMr. Burch if he wouldn't object to the build up of trash etc that is bound to build up outside the store? Mr. Burch stated that he didn't see any problem with trash with the regular pickup that they have been getting in that area. P & Z MEETING PAGE 2 No one appeared to oppose the rezoning of the property. Mr. Harris informed Mrs. McCloud that the Board would discuss the matter in more detail later and that if she would call the Building Department in the morning, they would give her their answer. Mr. Gerald Dake, City Planner opposed strongly to the rezoning, stating that this was an area of town that was in great need of cleaning up, and the addition of this grocery store would just add to the trash and debris in the area. Mr. Franklin and Mr. Logan were very much in favor of the store, since it was a small neighborhood, and it would be very con - venient for the small children in the neighborhood and it also would not cause any great traffic problem. Motion was made by Mr. Logan, seconded by Mr. Franklin and duly carried to recommend it be rezoned RC -1. Next on the agenda was the rezoning of the Bunshar property. Mr. Joseph Davis represented the company. Bunshar is the owner of 14 acres of land which was annexed under the Bob Williams property and given a P UD classification. It is the intension of the Property owners to construct one and two bedroom apartments, consisting of four buildings with 17 units per acre density. Motion was made by Mr. Berrien that it be recommended to the City Commission to include this property in the new Zoning Ordinance as MR -2., seconded by Mr. Franklin and so carried. Next, was an) informal presentation by EDG and Miss Bonnie Johnston. Miss Johnston stated that they would like to be the first RMO1 in Sanford, combining offices and multi - family together. Mr. Joe Knight, the designer presented a preliminary Land use Plan. The property in question is located on 17 -92, South of Sanford Avenue, South of Joe Creamons, and North of Lake Mary.

Mr. Harris suggested to put a closing date on the Planning and Zoning Agenda of the Thursday before the meeting, which allows only the items listed on the agenda to be discussed. Motion to recommend to Mr. Pete Knowles and the City Commission by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Franklin and so carried. Mr. Gerry Dake next informed the Board of the change in Mobile Home and Modular Home definitions. Mobile Homes definition is the same as before in the new Zoning Ordinance, with the add- ition that a mobile home is anything that comes in on a chassis, and that it must bear the insignia of approval. The term Modular Home is no longer used, it is now Factory Built Housing. Factory Built Housing is defined as follows: A residential building which conforms to the requirements of the City Building Code, com- prised of two or more dwelling units or hab- itable rooms or component parts thereof, which is either wholly manufactured, or in part man- ufactured in manufacturing facilities and bearing the insignia of approval. Mr. Harris suggested the following statement be submitted to the City Commission concerning the Factory Built Housing and Mobile Homes: We feel that Factory Built Housing, because it can be $50,000 homes as well as $10,000 homes should be allowed in any zone in the City, but will recommend they be placed in SR -1 zoning as a pilot program. P & Z MEETING PAGE 4 Motion was made by Mr. Logan to recommend this to the City Commission, seconded by Mr. Berrien and so carried. Mr. Harris suggested that Mr. Dake bring the final draft of the Sign Ordinance to the next meeting and they will go over the changes then. Mr. Dake is to mail each mem- ber a copy next week. There being no furthur business the meeting was adjourned. Arthur H. Harris, Chairman
