A workshop session was held prior to the regular scheduled
meeting to study the proposed Zoning Ordinance Regulations.

first item of business was to continue the tabled public
hearing for rezoning of Lots 15,16 & 17, Block 13, 3rd
Section of Dreamwold from R -1A Td R -3 zoned district.

rezoning in that area due to the opposition of the surrounding
property owners.

by Mr. Logan and duly carried it was moved the the rezoning
request be denied.

Consideration was given to the request of First Federal
Savings & Loan Association to vacate and abandon Elm
Avenue from First Street to south right -of "way line of
Commercial Street to permit them to expand their existing
building.
After discussion it was recommended that this request be
given to the City Planner for study and action be tabled
until the next meeting.
The City Planner and the City Engineer continued their
presentation of the annexation study. A thorough report
was submitted listing capital investments, operating costs,
service costs, expected general government taxes, revenue
generated and other information pertinent to the designated
areas.
In summary the City Planner suggested that the City of
Sanford adopt an annexation policy checklist and consider
the annexation of fringe areas only after each potential
area to be annexed has been studied according to the policies
set forth in this checklist.
Also, that the City should direct its annexation efforts
to the Sunland, Loch Arbor, and Ravenna Park areas and
proceed to annex these areas iprior to their intensive
development. He suggested that the City adopt a connection
fee for all new water and sewer connections to the City's
system and pledge these funds to a Capital Improvement
Fund.
Mr. Dake asked that each member study the information
he provided and at the next meeting a recommendation could
be made as to the assessed fee to be set for connection
to the city utilities.
The minutes of the meeting of November 4, 1971 were approved
as submitted.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
