The Board took up the question of the application from Don Testa requesting a Special Exception to allow a multi-family unit to be built in a townhouse and garden type arrangement in the B-3 zoning district at u.S. 1 and Thomas. Chairman Millard noted for the record that a letter was received from Mr. Donald Testa, authorizing Mr. Earl Wallace to represent him. Mr. Wallace was placed under oath by Chairman Millard. Section 903.00, Granting Special Exceptions was read by the Chairman, and Items a - d were discussed. The Department Head Review was discussed. Mr. Wallace commented that all items have been taken care of. Sewer is not available at this time, so a septic system will be used; there will be easy access for the Public Works to pick up garbage; a standpipe is planned as the Fire Department requested; and drainage and water retention will be taken care of with a swale along D.S. 1. Chairman Millard expressed a concern as to emergency vehicles getting to the Buildings. There was considerable discussion to establish a principle as to where the actual building line is. The Board asked: Does property on U.S. 1 have to comply with the Zoning restrictions based on the u.S. 1 right of way? Upon roll call, the vote was YES 7-0. There was a discussion whether to allow a condition to the Special Exception to have the set-back from U.S. 1 at 30' and the rear yard to be 20'. Mr. Wallace stated that this would affect the absorption on the east side and the retention of the sanitation at that point. Also, there was discussion as to paving 4th Street by the developer. The Board voted on granting a Special Exception for townhouse development R-4 within the B-3 district providing the following conditions are met: (1) Move the building line back from U.S. 1 at least 30'; (2) The East building line shall be no closer than 20' from the property line; (3) The developer, through his representative, agrees to pave the existing 4th St., in coordination with the Edgewater Street Department requirements. Before the vote, there was discussion on the storage of tenants' belongings in the back yard, which would be facing U.S. 1 for everyone to see. Mr. Wallace stated there is a storage area planned under staircases and didn't feel this would be a problem, as the governing body of these type of condos is usually very strict. Upon roll call the vote CARRIED 7-0. Chairman Millard closed the Public Hearing at 8:35 PM. Regular Meeting APPROVAL OF MINUTES There were no objections or corrections to the minutes of 1/21/82.
