authorized agent for Winston Tomlinson (developer), requests site
plan approval. Also present were Attorney Watts for Mr. Coleman
(developer of Shangri-La Subdivision) and Attorney Peterson for

discussion as to who owns Shangri-La Drive at U.S. 1. City

W~~
Attorney W~t~on stated if the city had nevel- accepted Shangri-La
Drive then it would have reverted back to Mr. Coleman.
Attorney Peterson stated that the issue is who owns the street
and who has the right to use it. He added that the original
dedication on the plat was never accepted, the homeowners have
maintained it, and if Mr. Coleman owns it he should be
maintaining it.
There was discussion about lighting in the parking lot of the
proposed restaurant. Mr. Johns stated the lights will be free
standing and will not interfere with adjacent properties.
The members discussed the fence shown on the site plan. It was
noted that the top two (2) rows of the fence were open. Mr.
Johns stated that he understood that's what the city ordinance
required. Mr. Karet informed him that the ordinance no longer
had such a requirement so the fence can be opaque.
There was discussion regarding the parking area. The members
believed that the location of parking stalls 1 through 3 should
be removed because they interfere with ingress and egress.
There was discussion regarding the location of proposed islands
and trees.

Attorney Peterson stated the Homeowners Association objects to
the proposed restaurant using Shangri-La Drive for ingress and
egress, and they believe that developing the property will cause
additional stormwater runoff which will add to the current
flooding problems at the rear of the subdivision. Mr. Karet and
Mr. Hellsten agreed that the proposed project should not
aggravate the flooding problem. Mr. Tomlinson stated the
proposed flow of traffic gives the residents of Shangri-La
priority over the patrons of the restaurant.

Q
o
There was further discussion regarding the ownership of Shangri-
La Drive. Attorney Watson believed the Agency should assume Mr.
Coleman owns the right-of-way and grant approval of the site
plan. The Agency members did not believe they could approve the
site plan if ownership of the access to the restaurant is still
in question.
Mr. Garthwaite moved to grant preliminary approval with final
approval pending 1) Rearrangement of islands in the parking area
to minimize the number of trees to be removed from the site; 2)
the type of lighting for the exterior is to be documented; 3)
parking stalls 1 through 3 are to be removed; 4) the fence is to
be solid for aesthetic value of abutting property owners; and 5)
certification from a title company showing ownership of Shangri-
La Drive and a grant of easement of Shangri-La Drive by Mr.
Coleman. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bennington. Motion
Failed 3-2.
Frank Rowe. President of Homeowners Association: believes that
if Mr. Coleman owns Shangri-La Drive that he has abandoned it,
because the Homeowners Association has been maintaining it.
Mr. Klein moved to table this item until items 1 through 5, as
stated above, were provided, seconded by Mr. Hildenbrand. Motion
Carried 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS:
Boat Dock/Ramp Edqewater Landinq: Marty Berge of Edgewater
Landing stated they were seeking approval of a boat launch area
on the southeast corner of the property. Mr. Berge stated the
location was chosen because practically no wetlands would be
disturbed, and the location was acceptable to the Department of
Environmental Regulation. Mr. Berge stated there will be a
parking area, trailer storage, and a turn-around area provided,
and he added there will be no wet storage. Mr. Bennington moved
to approve, seconded by Mr. Garthwaite. Motion Carl-ied 5-0.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Planninq and Zoninq Director's Reports: Mr. Karet stated that
the amendment to ordinance 88-0-11 should be on the next Council
agenda.
Mr. Hellsten suggested the department keep a running list of
items pending which would include site plans.
Aqency Member Reports: There was discussion regarding the land
development regulations from LaRue Planning and Management
Services. The members stated that they want to see all the
drafts that come from the consultants regarding the land
development regulations, and they want to become more involved in
this process. Mr. Karet stated he would like to clean up the
drafts before the members get them because there may be
suggestions that are not feasible for the city, and he does not
want to see the Agency waste their time with things that are not
pertinent. He added that he would meet with the members at their
convenience.
Mr. Bennington moved to have
