DITIONAL USE FDR R- 3 lEVELOPMENT.
City Planner, Jacqueline Koch stated that Garden Club Apartments are on S. Moss Road.
Garden Drive is the road that has been long platted, but never constructed. Lot 10
front property line is adj oining a 45 foot cul-de-sac. This entire 45 foot area is
dedicated as a public right-of-way. Ms. Koch stated that with the 45 foot cul-de-sac
being as such it would not be feasible to build a quadraplex with the front and rear
set-backs as such. However, it is feasible that at some point in time the 45 foot
cul-de-sac will be reIDved, but it is purely speculative as to when at this time. The
City Planner made the current builder well aware of this prior to building.
Jim Huckeba was present to speak on behalf of Jon M. Hall, and was so sworn jn by the
Chairman. Mr. Huckeba stated that jn various conversations with the City Planner they
had discussed withdrawing the request to reduce the number of parking spaces (from 8 to
6), but rather than park parallel as the other quadraplexs are, park straight jn from
the road. But with the latter, it would require backing out onto the cul-de-sac (road).
Ellen Weiss stated this would change the original request. Discussion on the feasibility
of parking straight jn on lot 10. The City Planner stated that if the application is
altered, it would have to be also approved by the Site Plan Review Board. Currently
all this Board can act upon is the dimensions. Discussion. City Planner restated that
if they could have some assurance that the cul-de-sac would be reITPved, then she would
have no problem with what Mr. Huckeba was proposing. However, as the bUilding would be
a permenant structure, please bear in mind these people would always be that close to
the road and also not have a front lawn. Mr. Huckeba stated they would have "legally"
a front lawn.
Ellen Weiss asked if there was anyone in the aucU:ence who wanted to speak in agreement
with Mr. Huckeba? Mr. Tom Binford, 409 Sheoah Blvd., Winter Springs was sworn in by

with Mr. Huckeba? Mr>. Tom Binford, 409 Sheoah Blvd., Winter Springs was sworn in by
the Chainnan. Mr>. Binford stated he was not speaking for or against Jon Hall's request,
but as neutral authorized agent of the owner and one of the princippls of the property
abutting to the north . With the assumption that the property to the north is developed,
the property owners would attempt to get Garden Drive develpped and utilize this road
as a fourth access route, in addi ti6n to ingress and egress on Fairfax, lVbss Road, and
434. Mr>. Bin.foro stated this would enhance the property value. Mr. Binford stressed
his reasoning for being before the Board was to show what might occur, and stated that
currently however there are no plans for such development. Discussion. Motion was made
