Request of James H. Hatcher for amendment of land use classification of
property from Medi'WIl Density Residential to Conunercial - Lot 10, Block 2, North
Orlando 4th Add. - House at 204 Wade Street near State Road 434:
Koch gave her presentation. The area is between S.R. 434 and 419. When the
City's original Comprehensive Plan was written in 1977, the entire row of hanes
fronting S. R. 434 was designated for conversion to conunercial. It was
anticipated at that time that as the developnent of business and the traffic
increased it would be more desirable for business rather than hanes. The
Ccmnission took comments from the owners and they indicated that they would
rather not be rezoned prior to their conversion as their property taxes would
go up. For 10 years now these houses have been classified commercial, and at
the individual request of the owners, the properties have been rezoned to
ccmnercial.
The lot in question is around the corner on Wade Street. There is commercial
on the south and east and residential on the north and west. The City is now
looking at aligrunent of Hayes and Wade streets in order to make that a straight
drive to S.R. 419. DOT is looking at a traffic light at Wade Street.
James Hatcher was there to speak for his request. He stated that he purchased
the house on August 17, 1987, and is repairing the house and wants to have
administrative offices there, possibly a real estate office.
Dorman asked if there was anyone present to speak for or against the request.
There was no one present to speak for or against the request.
Dorman closed the Public Hearing and reopened the regular meeting.
There was discussion on the request. Koch stated that if the house were
converted to ccmnercial use, there would be a Site Plan Review and at that time
the Staff would look at the size of the property, parking spaces, the
ingress/ egress, and fire safety.
Some Board members were concern about having parking spaces in the rear of the
property, and the effect it would have on the residents near the proposed
office.

There was a concern that with Wade and Hayes Roads aligned, what would happen
to the road that is already there. KOch stated that there might be a green
area between the houses and the new road.
Donnelly moved to recommend reclassifying the property to Commercial. Seconded
by Joshi. Vote: Dorman: nay; Joshi: aye; Donnelly: aye; Saporito: absent;
Hopkins: nay. MJtion denied based on a tie vote.
Dorman stated that this will go before the Conunission and the Conunission will
then decide whether to approve or disapprove the request.
The meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
