PRESENT: BOWNESS, BROOKLYN, KENNEDY, LAIT, THOMAS, HALL
ABSENT: CARTER, MCROBERT, TURNER
Meeting was called to order at 7:37 P. M. by Chairman Bowness.
WEST ORANGE GIRLS CLUB, INC.
Lois Grantham came before the board requesting variance to place for four years
a mobile office on the property located adjacent to FMC on Story Road leased to
them by FMC. The lease prohibits the constructing of a permanent structure on
the property and the organization needs a place for a business office. Chairman
Bowness advised Mrs. Grantham that the Board of Adjustments, rather than the
Planning and Zoning Board, would hear a request for a variance. City Building
Inspector, Mr. Hurst, explained that he had asked Mrs. Grantham to appear before
this board because recreation grounds are not provided for in the Zoning Ordinance
and he wanted clarification. Mr. Lait moved that West Orange Girls Club, Inc.,
and no other agency, be allowed to operate an office on the named property on
Story Road for a period of one year to be reviewed annually and that West Orange
Girls Club, Inc. should furnish the City a copy of the lease with FMC for their
records. Seconded by Mr. Brooklyn. Unanimously passed.
HEARING DATE FOR PETITION 77 -4, JOE HEEB
Chairman Bowness read Petition 77 -4, in which Mr. and Mrs. Joe Heeb request use
permitted on review to enable them to manufacture and sell decorative tile, hand-
crafts and furniture, and sell produce on a lot they are leasing on the northeast
corner of Geneva Street and Kissimmee Avenue which is presently zoned I -1. Mr.
Thomas questioned the need for a petition since all the industries in that area
also sell their wares on location. Meeting was recessed at 8:02 until 8:27 P. M.
Upon reconvening Mr. Lait moved that the public hearing be set for August 23, 1977,
at 7:30 P. M. Seconded by Mr. Thomas. Unanimously passed.
28 JUNE 77 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MINUTES
Mr. Hall moved to accept the minutes of the meeting held June 28, 1977,as submitted.
Seconded by Mr. Kennedy. Unanimously passed.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION - MR. FRANK TURNER
Chairman Bowness read Mr. Frank Truner's letter of resignation and noted that the'
board should submit a list of names for Commission to choose from for his replacement.
Mr. Lait suggested that Chairman Bowness contact George Bailey, Editor of Winter
Garden Times, and request that he write an editorial letting people know there is
an opening on the board. Board members agreed that would be an excellent way to
let interested parties know we need to hear from them.
FUTURE PLANNING REQUEST
Mr. Lait suggested that the board should have one person to research the information
and charts recently acquired from the County and State who can set up a work program
and schedule for the board so that material received would be best used and necessary
planning would proceed. There are many preliminary letters to be written before
plans can be formulated and each stage has to be approved by the City then County,
then State Commissioners by particular deadlines set up by the Florida Department
of Community Affairs in their guide. Marc Hall indicated an interest in being the
coordinator.
