City Commission March 20, 1995 Page 5 Mayor Pronovost asked if there was anyone in the audience that wished to address the Commission re Ordinance 95-821. The following individuals came forward: 1. John Casselberry, 1140 Lancelot Way, stated that moratorium, if necessary at all, should be no longer than three months, which would fall within the time estimate given the Community Development Director to conduct the zoning study of the entire length of Seminola Boulevard that would be affected by the widening. This timeframe would also be sufficient to allow for the general public to make requests for the next submission of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Changes. Mr. Schluckebier said the upcoming land use amendment cycle has an application deadline date of April 1, 1995 and there are no anticipated changes to that land use that is the subject of this public hearing. The study cannot be completed before April 1, 1995. 2. John Zacco, 841 Seminola Boulevard, submitted a survey of Lot 4, a rezoning request (170 feet south side of Seminola Boulevard) that he has submitted to the City. He stated he did not see the necessity for a moratorium and was of the opinion that nine months was an excessive amount of time for the Community Development staff to complete the study. Mayor Pronovost said any request that has been submitted prior to the passage of this moratorium would be considered on its own merits. Since Mr. Zacco request was submitted previously, it would not be affected by the moratorium. Commissioner Robertson said he was opposed to spending $10,000 for a traffic study on a road owned by Seminole County. He also objected to going to an outside consultant for the study; it should be accomplished in-house by our own City Planners. Mr. Wells said a professional traffic study was needed to analyze the projected impact of traffic on Seminola, Lake and Winter Park Drives and the appropriate type development that should occur in the area. Mr. Wells said the survey could be done in-house but it was a matter of priorities and the question of a more expertise approach in traffic analysis. The moratorium addresses the zoning code or the unified land development regulations as opposed to the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Thomas White, 107 Carriage Hill Drive, asked if the question of a proposed Casino in Greyhound Park was being considered as part of the traffic impact on Seminola Boulevard.
