Mr. Woods stated that the structure was built in 1956, and it has
been used for various types of commercial businesses as well as
a residence. Mr. Woods added that he had purchased the property
in 1974.
Mr. Woods stated that the building had a septic tank system
located in the rear yard, and he cited Rule 10D-6.047, Florida
Administrative Code, which does not permit paving over septic
tanks or drainfields. The problem of egress from the rear area
was discussed as the builing blocks the view of oncoming traffic.
Mr. Woods stated that an abutting property owner located at 118
North Ridgewood Avenue, will allow them to use some of their
parking, as long as the Wood's agree not to hold the owner liable
for any damages that may occur.
It was noted that they can not tie into the sewer, because the
lines would have to go through someone else's private property,
and the owner will not give permission.
Mr. Woods stated that the use would be retail clothing sales,
and his wife would operate it.
Mrs. Woods stated that the employees would park in the back so
the customers could utilize the on-street parking in front of
the building.
Mrs. Blazi moved to grant the variance request with a copy of the
shared parking agreement, between the two property owners, be
placed on file at City Hall. Mr. Fazzone seconded. Motion

OLD BUSINESS:
Land Development Requlations:
R.V. 's in residential neiqhborhoods: The members reviewed a
prepared survey for requirements of various cities. Mrs.
Plaskett stated that R.V. 's are getting larger, and because of
the width it is hard to get them into side or rear yards, so
R.V. 's are being stored in front yards. The members discussed
size restrictions, sid~ setback restrictions, loading and
unloading, and the amount of time a person will be permitted to
stay in their R.V. while visiting the resident. The members
agreed on the following language: R.V. 's up to 35 feet may be
parked in the rear yard or side yard only, but no closer than 5
feet to the side property line. May be parked anywhere on the
premises for the purposes of loading or unloading or visiting the
resident provided that a one week permit is issued by the city
with one extension.
Commercial vehicles parked in residential neiqhborhoods: The
members reviewed a prepared survey for requirements of various
cities. Mrs. Plaskett gave a brief synopsis of the current
codes. Gross vehicle weight, gross weight, number of axles,
tires, and signage was discussed. The members agreed on the
following language: Allowed in residential and office districts
if the unladen weight is 5,000 pounds or less, with 2 axles, 4
tires, and a sign of 4 square feet or less. All others not
permitted unless loading or unloading.
Buffers: As requested at the Agency's September 26th meeting, a
requirements draft was prepared by the Planning and Zoning
Department. Mrs. Plaskett explained that the higher intensity
use will be responsible for putting in the buffers. She also
informed the members that this is separate from the landscaping
requirements. The members agreed with the proposed draft, but
they also wanted definitions included to address canopy trees,
understory trees, shrubs, and evergreens/conifers.
Mrs. Blazi moved to approve the wording, as discussed, for R.V. 's
in residential neighborhoods, Commercial Vehicles parked in
residential neighborhoods, and Buffers, and forward to the
