and offered the following input:
The Commission felt a sampling of property owners should be contacted to get their
views and feelings and input on the proposed zonings.
Commissioner Linville asked if the naming of the various categories could be changed
to Seminole County's names in order to be more consistent.
It was asked if more uses could be put in the Light Industrial so as to reduce the
number of special exceptions; if hypnotist could be placed under CP Profession or
maybe removed; if churches, banks, Savings and Loans, hotels and motels could be
placed in the proper categories.
Commissioner Hartman was concerned with the implementation of these changes, and
wanted some input from the business and residential community.
Mayor Torcaso thanked the Board for all their hard work and said they did an
outstanding job.
