This regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Comission was called
to order by Chairman Jack Sargent on May 1, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. in the
City Council Chambers. Members in attendance were Henry Czech,
Adelbert Evans, Debbie Gaines, Nick Jones, Marie McKinney, Jack
Sargent, James Shepherd and Bob Thompson. Pat Parker was excused.
Also in attendance were City Manager George Forbes and Planning and
Zoning Technician Marilyn George.
MINUTES of the regular meeting held April 3, 1984 were approved as
presented. Minutes of the workshop meeting held April 16, 1984 were
approved as amended by changing Item 2. to read "5 - 8 dwelling units
per acre." The motion for the change was made by Mr. Evans, seconded
by Mr. Czech and unanimously carried.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Asbury and Michael Floyd had requested a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a funeral home in the C-1
Light Commercial Zone at 858 West Minneola Avenue; the West 10' of
Lot 10, Lot 12 and the East ~ of Lot 14, Block 93. The City Manager
explained that the applicant wished to change the parking spaces
from asphalt to grass, leaving the driveway asphalt. He also pointed
out that the fence on the east is not on the property line, but some
distance east of it, necessitating the moving of the parking spaces
to the rear of the property, since enough space isn't available on
the applicant's own property.
A letter was read from Mr. Claude Smoak, a property owner within 150
feet of the property in question, stating that he had no objection to
the request.
During a brief discussion it was pointed out that Mr. Floyd will
have to prepare a new site plan, showing the parking revisions, to be
presented to City Council. It was suggested that Condition #6 have
the word "final" deleted, and that "the" be changed to "an" in Con-
dition #l.
A motion was made by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Shepherd and passed
by unanimous vote THAT THE GRANTING OF THIS CUP ALLOWING THE ESTABLISH-
MENT OF A FUNERAL HOME IN THE C-1 LIGHT COMMERCIAL ZONE BE RECOMMENDED
TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The property must be developed in substantial accordance with an
approved site plan.
2. If, at a future date, parking at this site proves inadequate,
the applicant understands and agrees that the City may require
more parking or rescind this CUP.
• 3. No further expansion of the use or additions to this facility
shall be permitted except as approved by another CUP.
4. All applicable rules and regulations shall be met, including
final site plan approval, landscaping, drainage, parking, and
sign regulations. All required landscaping must be served with
a permanent irrigation system and must be properly maintained.
5. This property may be used only as a funeral home. No other
business operation may be conducted from this facility. This
CUP is not transferable to any other business use, person, or
corporation.
6. The Certificate of Occupancy cannot be issued until each of the
stated conditions has been met.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Chairman
McCaffery, as owner, and Cardinal
for a CUP for property known as:
Sargent explained that Patricia
Industries, as developer, had asked
SE a of the NE a of Sec. 30, T. 22S, R. 26E, Lake County,
Florida. Commence at the E a cor. of Sec. 30 and run
S 87°35'35" W for 1321.04'; thence N 1°52'08" W for 506'
to the P.O.B.; continue N 1°52'8" W 233.40' to a point on the
N'ly line of Oak Dr. and the SE'ly cor. of Lot D of Oak View
subdivision; thence S 88°04'17" W along S'ly line of Lot D
30.0'; thence N 1°52'08" W along a line parallel to E'ly line
of Oak View subdivision 460.0'; thence N 88°04'17" E 30.0'
to the E'ly line of Lot B of said subdivision; continue N
88°04'17" E 30.08'; thence N 89°53'16" E 3336.92' to point on
W'ly ROW of U.S. Hwy 27, said point being on a curve concave to
the SW having a radius of 650.0', a central angle of 6°21'07"
and a ch. bearing of S 9°44'37" E; thence S'ly along said ROW
line on said curve to the right 72.06 feet to a point of reverse
curvature concave to the NE, said curve having a radius of
3899.83', a central angle of 0°59'53" and a ch. bearing of
S 7°04'01" E; thence S'ly along said ROW line on said curve to
the left 67.94'; thence departing from said ROW line run

run S 1°52'08" E 52.21'; thence N 86°22'08" W 294.36' to the
POB, containing 4.656 acres more or less.
This site is between Oak View subdivision and Highway 27. The
petitioners want to build 63 apartment units consisting of 51 one
bedroom and 12 two bedroom units.
The City Manager explained that, although the Ordinance requires two
parking spaces per dwelling unit, Cardinal Industries has learned
through experience with this type project that 1.5 spaces is more
than adequate. He also explained that the Ordinance requires 600
square feet of living space per unit, and that Cardinal's units pro-
vide only 576 square feet. He stated that the Cardinal represent-
ative would have more to add on the subject. The one entrance/exit
shown on the site plan will be allowed because there will be a
"break-away" fence at the end of Oak Drive for emergency purposes.
He corrected Condition #8 from "south" to "west".
Jan Jacoby of Cardinal Industries stated that the list of conditions
recommended by staff were satisfactory to Cardinal Industries. She
went on to discuss several individual conditions, stating that they
will work with the City Engineer on all phases necessary, and that
the engineering plan already submitted will prevail, where there are
differences in the plans. She stated that where other projects of
this type had been developed, a storage area above the utility room
had been included in the square footage, in order to meet requirements.
Discussion concerned location of additional parking, if needed, and
the appearance of the project. Members of the audience who made
statements or asked questions were Gloria Montiverdi and Jean Fearing,
who were concerned about the closing of Millholland Street.
