The meeting was called to order by Chairman
Harris, who then introduced the first item of
business, a replat of Hidden Lake Unit 1 -A.
Mr. Risner explained the only change was the
80' Right -of -Way change. It was previously
platted as a 60' Right -of -Way. This improved
the situation and did not affect the lots by
decreasing of size. On motion of Robert Karns,
and seconded by Philip Logan, it was moved to
approve the replat of Hidden Lakes Unit 1 -A.
The next item of business was a project by
Central Florida Builders, to be located at
the corner of 25th St. and Holly Avenue.
Previously planned as an apartment complex,
they would like to change the plans to be
suited for a 16 Unit Townhouse Project. This
would include a 6' high fence on front property
lines, and a 4' high fence around the rear
property line.

He also agreed to put in sidewalks along 25th St.
which the Commission thought highly of. Mr.
Dick McCoy and Mr. Granville Sharpe, spokesmen
for Central Florida Builders, were present to
discuss these plans with the Commission. Art
Harris stated that the fence on 25th St. does
not comply with the present fence ordinance,
and that if they would change their plans to
show a 4' high siteproof fence on common property
lines, which would comply with the present ord-
inance, the Commission would approve these plans.
Mr. Sharpe and Mr. McCoy agreed to change what-
ever they were requested to. Art Harris ex-
plained that the permit for this project will
need to be taken out before the New Zoning
Ordinance is passed as the density will be 17
Units per acre, and though they plan 16 Units,
they do not have an acre of land. On motion
of Jeff Davis, seconded by Philip Logan and
duly carried, it was moved to accept the Site
Plan for Townhouses at the corner of 25th St.
and Holly Avenue.
Mr. Risner presented the plans for a 20' x 24'
building to be used as a neighborhood store,
owned by Christine McCloud, to be located at
1306 West Eighth St., legal being: Lot 8,
Block 8, Tier 16, Seminole County. It was
stated that the zoning regulations require
10,000 square feet of floor area, and this
building will have only 480 square feet when
completed. The Commission recommended that
once the New Zoning Ordinance is adopted that
Mrs. McCloud submit her plans to the Board of
Adjustment for a variance.
Next was a general discussion on the proposed
GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District.

It was questioned whether a Paint and Body Shop
is of a retail or service nature. After a lengthy
discussion, it was moved by C.B. Franklin and
seconded by Jeff Davis that it be recommended
to the City Commission that Paint and Body Shops
be allowed in GC -2, General Commercial District,
as a conditional use only. All conditional
uses will come before the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and if found inappropriate for that
particular area, can be denied.
The City Commission has asked that the people
should have the right to appeal a variance to
them (City Commission). After a discussion,
it was moved to recommend to the City Commission
that the people still appeal to a Board of
Adjustment, and that this is in keeping with
the usual practices and is in compliance with
the Florida State Statutes. It was moved
by Edward Blacksheare and seconded by Victor
Gischler and duly carried.
Art Harris then read a letter addressed to the
Commission from Mr. Hal Harris, in reference
to Lot 10, Block 4, Tier 4, Town of Sanford,
being located at the North East corner of
Third St. and Oak Avenue. He asked that this
land, presently zoned C -2 Commercial, be app-
roved for use as a Paint and Body Shop: This
property is located in downtown Sanford, and
is in the vicinity of Hill Lumber Co., Miracle
Concrete Co., Chase and Co., Stine Machine Co.,
and would like to erect a Paint and Body Shop
at this site. Art Harris stated that Mr. Harris
failed to note in his letter that this property
is directly across from a church. The Comm-
ission appointed Mr. Risner to contact Mr.
Hal Harris and notify him that he can apply
for a Conditional use, but the Commission would
not recommend a Paint and Body Shop across
from a church.

After a lengthy discussion on Annexation, it
was recommended that the City Engineer and
the City Planner prepare a report with more
detail on the cost of a collection system,
sewer and water lines, and paving for the
meeting on the third Thursday in January,
which will be January 18th, 1973, for property
located from the Grant Line to Loch Arbor,
including Lincoln H6ights and Ravenna Park.
At this time, the Commission will review
all the over -all standards for Site - Development
Plan standards and procedures.
There being no further business, the meeting
was adjourned.
