SITE PLAN REVIEW
SP-8302, Fagg M. Shawver, Casa El Toro Lounge Addition, US 1 & Boston Rd, B-3
Mr. Earl Wallace, authorized representative, was present to discuss the
proposed building addition. Mr. Opal asked if this has ever been before
any previous Zoning or Planning Board. Mr. Wallace stated that in about 1976
an addition was proposed and was rejected by the Board, but at that time
they were proposing to build the addition to the US 1 property line. This
addition is set back 15 feet 4 inches from the US 1 property line. Mr. winter
noted that this is a non-conforming lot of record. The security light
requested by Chief Baugh was discussed, and Mr. Wallace pointed out where
the light will be located. Mr. Bennington noted that the plan was in
accordance with all regulations except the setback and that variance will
go before the Board of Adjustment for their decision.
Moved by Mr. Winter to approve Preliminary/Final contingent upon the Board
of Adjustment granting the variance, that the plan is in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan, and recommend to the Board of Adjustment that the variance
be granted.
Mr. Bennington passed the Chair to Vice Chairman Winter, and seconded the
motion. Mr. Winter asked for roll call. Upon roll call the Motion passed
2-1. Mr. Opal voted NO.
Mr. Opal feels that more checking on this should be done because it has
been turned down before and he would like to know why.
OLD BUSINESS
Annexation
Mrs. Winks read a letter from Mr. Clark, attorney for the people requesting
annexation which was in response to a telephone call. The letter noted that
there is only one house on the subject property, and that the intention of
the owners was to sellon a lot basis for single fa~ily residences. Mrs.
Winks then read parts of Florida Statute 171,043, "Character of the area
to be annexed". It was noted that the new map submitted was different from
the one previously submitted. Mrs. Winks will check this with Mr. Clark
and see if there has been a change. Mr. Opal asked that Subsection 4 of
171.044, "Voluntary annexation" be read. Mr. Bennington asked that we find
out what the County zoning of this area is and to figure out the density for
Edgewater single family zoning. It was also decided that Mr. Clark and Mr.
Alvarez should attend the next Planning Meeting to discuss the matter.
Mr. Opal spoke of 571290 and stated that this is still active and alive and
that Section 7A was taken out of the Charter and shouldn1t have. He noted
that Mr. Alvarez is supposed to be checking into this.
Sealed Plans
Mrs. Winks noted that letters had been sent to the Board of Architects and
the Board of Engineers, but she had not received an answer yet. Mr. Bennington
suggested that we also write to the County to see what they base their
decision on. Mrs. Winks said that Mr. Murphy suggested writing to the
Attorney General. These letters will be written and sent out.

to discuss and possibly take action on the Tree and Landscape Ordinance.

Mrs. Winks noted that an answer had not been received from the City Attorney

discussion on 81-0-34 and 81-R-77 until we receive an answer from the City
Attorney.
Zoning Appendix Changes
Mrs. Winks read the list of changes that have previously been discussed.
Moved by Mr. Winter, seconded by Mr. Opal, and CARRIED 3-0, to add Zoning
Appendix Changes to the Special Meeting to be held on February 9, 1983.
Permitted uses were discussed and Mrs. Winks will compile a new list by
Zone. A list of suggested changes to permitted uses by Mr. Murphy was
passed out to the members.
Mrs. Winks suggested having a cut-off date for applications to be received
for the Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Winter suggested that Mr. Alvarez be present for the Special Meeting
to answer any questions we might have on the Zoning Appendix Changes.
Mr. Bennington stated that he didn't see any need for the City Attorney
at the Special Meeting as whatever~action we would take would be reviewed
by him for legality anyway.
