Text Any textual data included in the document The little sentinel, Sunday, August 26, 1979 Sale of the Alabama Hotel is contingent upon city approval to turn the building into 22 condominium units. Alabama Hotel plans stir opposition by Donna Eyring The Winter Park Planning and Zoning Commission last week voted unanimously to recommend that the City Commission approve a zoning change that would permit conversion of the landmark Alabama Hotel into condominiums. But some residents who live near the hotel, which overlooks Lake Maitland, would rather see it torn down and replaced with single-family homes than turned into 22 condominiums. They said the condominiums would increase residential density of the area and bring traffic problems to narrow neighborhood streets. The commission will consider the rezoning request at its meeting at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Charles Simmerson, Winter Park, and Charles Booth, Orlando, have asked that the zoning be changed from R1-AA – single family residential – to Planned Unity Residential District, thus permitting conversion of the 66-room hotel into condominiums. City Planner Jeff Briggs said the contract to purchase the 57-year-old hotel from Sam Azarian of Racine, Wis., is contingent on the zoning change. Briggs endorsed the proposal and recommended the planning commission approve it on two conditions – that no change be made to the existing architectural facade and that no fencing be permitted along the property on Alabama Drive. The planning commission added one other condition at the request of adjacent property owner Charles Rosenfelt – that a proposed swimming pool be surrounded by a landscape buffer or be moved. Rosenfelt has purchased about 3.5 acres of the Alabama Hotel grounds and said a community swimming pool might be a nuisance to the homeowner near the boundary line. Rosenfelt has a preliminary plat pending before the city commission to subdivide the property for 10 single-family homes. Briggs said the proposal’s strongest point was that it was consistent with Comprehensive Development Plans, which encourage developers to preserve landmarks through the use of PURD zoning. “After rehabilitation, you will have 22 families living there … who will have their life savings committed to preservation and maintenance of the building and grounds.” Briggs said. Richard Barratt, of Architects Design Group of Florida Inc., said the plans would not involve mjor changes to the outside of the structure, other than repairing damaged stucco, re-roofing, and extension of some units onto an existing veranda. The plans also include renovation of the W.C. Temple home, built in 1876, a summer porch which was once attached to the home, and a caretaker’s cottage into three single-family residences. They also plan to repair the existing boat dock on Lake Maitland. For parking, 27 covered parking spaces with a 25-foot foot landscsape buffer and 24 open spaces scattered around the property are proposed. J.S. Showalter, 1461 Via Tuscany, said, “Quite frankly I don’t welcome the idea of the Alabama becoming a condominium. “I can’t view the change to PURD as anything other than an economic advantage to those who requested it,” Showalter said, “We always felt that we she (the Alabama Hotel) went, as one day she must, we’d rather have R1-AA there.” B.C. Pyle, who lives on Mayfield Drive near the hotel, said he feared conversion to condominiums would bring traffic problems to the area. “If that structure is to be change – in spite of the fact that I hate to see a historic building demolished – if changed, it should be changed to single-family,” Pyle said. But George Miller, who recently moved into a new home near the hotel, said he would rather see the hotel become condominiums. “Given a known edifice, a mutually agreeable edifice and one we’ve learned to live with, I’d rather see it become condominiums than to settle for the ultimate destruction of the building and take our chances… on differing structures of varying styles. “To replace it isn’t necessarily an improvement,” he added.
