Zoning Commissioner Sines CALL TO ORDER: Meeting called to order by Secretary Newsome at 7:36 p.m. MINUTES: Minutes of September 23, 1976, approved as submitted PUBLIC HEARING: The regular meeting was adjourned at 7:38 p.m. and a Public Hearing called to order to consider an application by Winter Springs Development Corp. for approval to locate a 7-11 convenience store with two gas pumps in the commercial portion of the Tuscawilla PUD near the intersection of Winter Springs Boulevard and Northern Way, with an access road running behind the Information Office connecting these two streets. MR. NICK CASTELLANO, representing Ifinter Springs Development Corp., made t.he presentation, beginning by reading the September 2 letter from Mr. Charles True to Mayor Piland. J.1r. Castellano pointed out that the applicant has tak- en great pains in planning the appearance and location of the store ... they do not want any store facing Winter Springs Boulevard ... the future commercial enterprises planned for that commercial area will be located on the access road, not on Winter Springs Boulevard or Northern Way... the front of the 7-11 store would be set back 78 feet off of Hinter Springs Boulevard. COUNCIL JOHN DANIELS, in responding to a question by the P&Z Board, said that no stores have yet been approved in the Tuscawilla PUD; only the location of a commercial district ~Qthin the PUD has been approved by the Council. MRS. DON SIN~S, 1305 Deer Run, Winter Springs: We're in favor of the store ... it won't spoil the appearance of the area ... it won't be visible from the road ... the design is attractive. ~ms. JOm~ DANIELS, 1027 Antelope Trail, Winter Springs: Concerned about the traffic onto Northern Way from the access road putting additional dust on the new fire station and fire-fighting equipment ... wants developer to pave North- ern Way down to the fire station ... oppose letting access road open onto Northern Way unless developer will pave Northern down to the fire station. MR. CHUCK CHUTE, 1218 Swan Street, Winter Springs: Opposed to gas pumps ... they will draw traffic from outside the residential area ... gasoline tankers must come in to deliver fuel, and that will destroy the streets. f-ms. ALICE mITER, 1220 Swan street" Hinter Springs: Opposed. .. don't want any more dust. MR. CASTELLANO: Northern Way will be paved down to the point where it meets the new access road if the store is approved. The next residential develop- ment will take place north of Winter Springs Boulevard, and this may have some bearing on the eventual paving of Northern Way. P&Z Board ... page 2 rm. KEN1~ETH ~lIhEGAFlll~ER, 1105 Deer Run, vJinter Springs: As a resident and builder in Tuscawilla, I'm in favor of the store and the gas pumps ... they vdll be a convenience ... they will be a drawing card for new residents. :t>ffi.. ROBERT GOLL, L10 Partridge Circle, Winter Springs: Opposed t~o the gas pumps ... self-service gas stations are a proven fire hazard ... City should have approved uses for commercially zoned areas in its Code ... City should require site plans be submitted prior to approval of such a use. 14R. STEVE LIND, 51 Partridge Circle, Winter Springs: In favor of store ... no additional traffic will be caused by the gas pumps. HR. CASTELLANO: The gas pumps won't be the major portion of the st~ore' s bus- iness ... 7-11 won't cut the price of gas to try to attract customers from other stations into Tuscawilla. ~m. LOU HOLMES, 1109 Deer Run, Winter Springs: We just moved into Tusca~Qlla, and we have no opinion on the location of the store ... up north, when such a store closes and sits empty, it becomes quite a problem for the area. CITY PLANI~ER AL BUSH: There is r.o professional objection to the store from the planner's point of view. 14R. CASTELI~NO: Said, in answer to a question from the P&Z Board, that 7-11 will not build the Tuscawilla store without the gas pumps.
