ML Henry C. Scherz, Pelican Cove West spokeperson, stated the residents were concerned because they can't screen in their patios according to the zoning ordinances because of the setbacks. Mr. Alvarez said the people could not go for a variance because they can only be granted for an unnecessary hardship. Mr. Bennington stated the Pelican Cove West area had been treated as R-4 on the advice of Clay Henderson, former City Attorney.

Mr. Wilbur informed the Board there was an easement in the deed for access. Mr. Mackie stated the easement had to be able to handle all emergency vehicles. Mr. Alvarez stated the thing he wanted the Board to determine was the definition of a minor sub~division. He stated Mr; Wilbur's plans did not constitute .a minor sub-division. Mr. Fischer related to the Board that there is a lot of large lots within the City that people ask him about breaking down into individual lots. He said he had been asked many times if this would classify as a minor sub-division as long as they do not split more than three times and abut on public street and the City is not required to extend any sewer or water to these people and if the lots have an easement along the side for access. Can these people just bring the survey plat of what they are going to do showing the Planning Board the area and have it replatted in the book in Deland. Whether it is built on now or later it will be available and not requiring the full fledged sub-division requirements. There was a lenghty discussion on the easements. After reading the definition in the code book, the Board determined the easement is still part of the property and it just grants ingress and egress rights. No action required. -2- Planning and Zoning Board Meeting December 05, 1985 ~ u PRESERVATION OF EAST RIVERSIDE DRIVE OPEN SPACES Under new business preservation of East Riverside Drive open spaces was discussed.
