NEW BUSINESS:
VR-0191 Massev Ranch Airpark John Massey requested a
recommendation to the City Council regarding the vacation of a
portion of the J.A. Benoit Subdivision; and the dedication of a
100 foot right-of-way for the northerly 435~ feet of the proposed
Flying "M" Boulevard.
Mark Karet, Director of Planning and ZonIng, explained that Mr.
Massey has a subdivision under construction within the County.
He is requesting a vacation of a portion of the J.A. Benoit
Subdivision, this will create a single 2.19~ acre parcel. Mr.
Karet said Mr. Massey is also requesting the dedication of a 100
foot right-of-way for the northerly 435~ feet of the proposed
Flying "M" Boulevard. Mr. Karet said dedication would enable Mr.
Massey to route the Flying "M" Boulevard through the City to
provide separation from the airpark runway.
Mr. Karet further explained this property has two zonings, 1-1,
Industrial and MH-1,Mobile Home, however, the MH-l land is too
small to be developed under the current zoning.
Mr. Massey stated he is requesting the vacation to allow
build a road from Park Avenue to his subdivision.
construction of this road would provide safer access to the
him to
The

airport and subdivision. Mr. Massey also agreed that the
acceptance of the road will be conditioned upon Volusia County's
willingness to maintain all of Flying "M" Boulevard. Mr. Massey
also pointed out that the vacation will eliminate undersized lots
and right-of-ways without access.
Mr. Fazzone expressed his concern that the City would gain
nothing from the vacation. He asked Mr. Massey if the road, as
currently approved in the County, could be moved away from the
runway. Mr. Massey said no, the County requires the road to
intersect Park Avenue at a 90 degree angle.
Mr. Karet referred to the memo provided to the board, saying that
perhaps the board's impression was that City staff supported the
developer's application. He said this is not the impression they
should have. Mr. Karet said he met with the developer, the City
Manager and the City Attorney, and discussed similar issues as
the board was discussing. The result of the meeting was that
staff is providing no recommendation.
Chairman Hellsten stated he feels 90 degree road alignment is a
benefit and will prevent further traffic problems. He also noted
that the vacation will eliminate undersized lots and create a
more developable piece of land.
Mr. Garthwaite moved to approve the vacation of property and send
the recommendation to Council, seconded by Mr. Hildenbrand.
Motion CARRIED 5-1. Mr. Fazzone voted no.
SP-9110 - Commercial Complex - Earl Wallace, authorized agent for
a commercial complex located at 2341 Guava Drive, requested site

Mr. Karet said this is a request for site plan approval for a

is a standard site plan request.
After brief discussion Mr. Fazzone moved to approve the site plan
as presented, seconded by Mr. Masso. Motion CARRIED 6-0.

plan, seconded by Mr. Fazzone. Motion CARRI~D 6-0.
Discussion of By-Laws - The board discussed the need to have a
quorum set at five members present at meetings rather than four.
It was suggested that members have bonafied reasons in order to
be excused from a meeting. Mr. Fazzone suggested if a member is
not able to attend three consecutive meetings (regular or
special) or 25% of the regular meetings in a calender year they
should be dismissed from the board. Mr. Garthwaite suggested
after three meetings missed it should be the agency's decision
as to whether they recommend to council a dismissal or give the
member an other chance. Mrs. Storey recommended that the board
may want to incorporate in their By-Laws the procedures to be
used while conducting a meeting.
