NEW BUSINESS Combining the Planning and Zoning Boards Mr. Macino and Mr. Nolan, members of the Planning Board, were present to discuss the proposed combination of the Planning and Zoning Boards, provided this is a requirement of the Comprehensiv~ Plan. Mr. Macino stated the first public hearing on the subject was held on February 2nd and he had suggested that four members from the Planning Board and four members from the Zoning Board be appointed, along with one outside member. Mr. Nolan said he felt now is not the proper time for the combination of these boards since the Zoning Board is not familar with the pending Comprehensive Plan at this point. There was further discussion regarding joint meetings of the Boards and it was recommended both boards send a letter to the Council stating their feelings to keep the boards separate and perhaps meeting jointly occasionally. It was further suggested the chairmen receive minutes of the other board's meetings. It was noted there was a Council workshop with the Planning Board on February 17th at 1:00 P.M. to discuss the Comprehensive Plan, along with a public hearing on February 23rd at 7:00 P.M. It was a mutual feeling to have a public hearing of the joint boards on February 25th at 7:00 P.M., with the hopes of keeping the boards separate at this time, since the Comprehensive Plan still must be implemented after adopted. The City Clerk was asked to invite the City Attorney, and advertise for the public hearing. The City Clerk was also asked to write a letter to the Mayor and City Council notifying them of the proposed joint Board public hearing on February 25th for the purpose of discussing the combination of these boards. J , ~ ~ Wagner Zoning Request Mr. Wagner was present at the meeting and asked the Board if he could build two ,story office/apartments on certain lots he was proposing to purchase. There was a discussion regarding the B-3 zoning requirements for height restrictions. It was the concensus of opinion Mr. Wagner would have to go to the Board of Adjustments for multi-family dwellings, however there would be no problem with the office portion. Mr. Mackie suggested Mr. Wagner bring in a sketch as a preliminary drawing for the board to look at. He also suggested Mr. Wagner contact the Sewer and Water Department for a preliminary opinion. OLD BUSINESS Zero Lot Lines Mr. Mackie and Mr. Wallace presented the plans used by New Smyrna Beach. Mr. Wallace stated their plan has been in effect since in the early 70's and have been improving on it ever since. Setback requirements were discussed concerning single or multiple owner- ship and building in phases. The selling of duplexes separately under fee simple was also discussed. It was stated the lending institutions were approving the sale of these units separately using zero lot lines without any problems. This is not covered in the present Edgewater ordinances. A workshop with the City Attorney was suggested for February 12th at 1:00 P.M. The City Clerk was asked to invite Mr. Bob Ferrin of New Smyrna Beach. Horne Occupational Licenses This was previously referred to the Council and sent back to the Zoning Board. The problem is 75% of the licenses are issued to sub-contractors, which is not a home occupation. The telephone company is billing some businesses as commercial. Enforcement of the licenses is the major problem. Categories for home occupations were discussed. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the person responsible for enforcing the violations or eliminating the home occupational licenses except the categories approved. Mr. Troian made a motion to recommend to the City Council that the only solution for the problem of Horne Occupational Licenses is that the City hire an inspector specifically to police all licenses in the City of Edgewater, including sign permits and home occupational licenses. Mr. Wheeler seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned. Minutes submitted by: Patsy L.
