MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING
OF THE Board of Adjustment of
City of Winter Springs, Florida
A public hearing was he~d at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June
6, 1973, at the city hall with all three members in attendance.
The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Don
Smith. He read the legal notice of the meeting concerning
the special exception to a variance, requested by the
Cumberland Farm Stores.
Howard Marcy, representing the Cumberland Farm Stores,
requested a special exception to the variance as the Zoning
Classifications in the C-l list varied. He said he felt that
Paragraph 18 was consistent with other uses of the C-l
classification.
e
He declared that there would be three businesses involved,
first the grocery or convenience store, and two other rental
units. The building would be 3,250 sq. ft. Gas would never
be sold. Parking would be one space for each 300 ft. (actually
their alloted 17 spaces was one for each 191 sq. ft.). Drainage
regulations would be met. The one sign would be free standing
on the corner of Fairfax and ~34. The zoning code is C-l
neighborhood and the convenience store would be consistent with
these uses.
.
He went on to state that the objections included avoidin~
competition. In a survey there were 5,000 cars going by within
a 2 mile radius and 6,000 to 10,000 cars daily within a 5 mile
radius. The situation of the store is properly placed on the
property.
A previously filed petition against the building of said
convenience store was shown to Mr. Marcy.

Mrs. Albert Moore or 200 Fairfax, one of the closest
neighbors, objected on the grounds of additional traffic, the
garbage and refuse, teenagers and broken glass, all of which
would bring down the value of the area, especially with three
convenience stores in a row.
Another objector was Vicki Baker, also of Fairfax Avenue,
who stated she believed that any exceptions in tne C-1
classifications must be controlled by the city. She personally
feels that the city government should establish a criteria
within ordinances for stores, grocery and otherwise and should
so be defined so that the Board of Adjustment doesn't have to
meet and that the Zoning Board can declare it either C-1 or C-2.
After the rebuttals were heard, the motion to deny the
exception to the variance was made by Me1 Campbell and seconded
by Mary Cook.
The vote was unanimous.
