Vice-Chairman Wheeler referred the Board members to the letter that they received to the Board of Adjustments from Mr. Dominick Fazzone, who is a property owner in Shangri-La Subdivision where this addition is to be constructed. Mr. Fazzone's letter was written in protest to allowing additions to be constructed in this subdivision, stating that at the time he purchased this duplex he was advised that there would be no additions allowed in the subdivision and he is concerned that if one person is allowed to put up an addition, everyone has the right to ask to do the same and it would then make the units too close together which could lower the value of his property because of the units being built on top of each other. Mrs. Thomas stated that she needs more time to study this situation before making a decision. Mr. Chenoweth questioned whether the variance was needed for five feet in the rear. Vice-Chairman Wheeler advised that the Board of Adjustments granted a five foot variance and now one of the property owners in the subdivision is protesting it. He questioned whether or not the property was non-conforming. Mr. Chenoweth said you could not grant the variance for one or two and not the others. He further stated that apparently an error was made in granting these variances and the error should not be expanded upon. Vice-Chairman Wheeler said that the variances were granted by the Board of Adjustments. Mr. Chenoweth said the fact that they were granted does not mean the decision was right. Mr. Chenoweth made a motion to TABLE this site plan until the other Board members can be present to discuss same. ~rrs. Thomas seconded the motion.

Mr. Wallace said that Mr. Ferrara, the City Engineer, sent a letter to the Board that was received this date, stating that consideration needs to be taken in the ditch between Wildwood Drive and the double access.

NEW BUSINESS Rezoning application from R1 to R2 by Victor St. John for property located on Lincoln Road. Mr. and Mrs. Haughwout were present to represent Mr. St. John. Vice-Chairman Wheeler stated it was his opinion that since there were only four members of the Board present to hear this rezoning request, and due to the fact that City Council would not hear the case until January, that this matter be tabled until the December 5th meeting so that more members of the Board can be present to review it. Mr. Haughwout said that they were present at the last Board meeting and it was cancelled for lack of a quorum. -2- Planning and Zoning Board Special Mtg. November 15, 1984 Q ~ He further stated he would like to keep this request moving along. The property in question was subdivided in 1952. Most of the area abutting this property is zoned R2, it is only approximately 100' from R4 zoned property. Vice-Chairman Wheeler explained that it did not make any difference whether or not this Board approved the request at this meeting. In accordance to the Code, Council will only hear rezoning requests every two months, and the next month is January. Mrs. Thomas stated she may have to declare a conflict of interest due to the fact her employer may be involved in the property in question.

Mrs. Thomas made a motion to TABLE this r~zoning request to the December 5, 1984, meeting, seconded by Mr. Chenoweth. Motion CARRIED 4-0. Review minutes from Board of AdOustments meetin and letter to Board of Adjustment Chairman from Dominick Fazzone regar ing variances granted for additions to Shangri-La Subdivision. Vice-Chairman Wheeler stated that this matter was discussed when the site plan reviews came up for Coleman Construction Company, to construct duplex additions and the site plans were tabled to the December 5th meeting. Review letter from Dennis Fischer, Building Official, regarding questions concerning Pelican Cove West Subdivision. The secretary read this letter into the minutes which questioned the single family dwellings that are presently being constructed to the south of the subdivision and the R4 requirements that presently exist. Mr. Fischer asked whether or not he is to use the original setback and footage requirements or does he now enforce the current regulations. He further stated he has requests by the developer to build single family homes on the platted 50' by 100' lots with 940 square foot living area and maintaining the original setback requirements. Do these proposed dwellings need to meet the new requirements or can they go by the requirements that were established when the subdivision was approved? Mr. Carder was present to discuss this matter with the Board. Mr. Chenoweth asked Mr. Carder what problems it will cause if he is required to go by the present requirements. Mr. Carder explained that the original concept for the subdivision was to have four areas that would be different and not interfere with each other. With the new requirements of 40' front set- back, he advised he could not put up anything in this area with a 40' front setback and 1200 square feet living area. The Board members agreed that this matter should be sent to Council for final approval and that the Board will send a recommendation to them that Mr. Carder be allowed to build in Pelican Cove West Subdivision using the setback and square footage for living requirements as tHey were when his subdivision was approved. Mrs. Thomas made a motion that a recommendation be sent to Council that the setbacks and square living requirements in Pelican Cove West Subdivision be the same as they were when the subdivision was approved and that he not be required to meet the new regulations. Mr. Chenoweth seconded the motion, adding that the Building Official should be given instructions by this Board regarding allowing the subdivision to be approved with the former setback requirements until the project is completed, pending approval by Council of this Boards' recommendation to do so. Motion CARRIED 4-0. Review letter from David Jones, Assistant Code Enforcement Officer, regarding status of BJ's Florists' site plan.
