APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Troian made a motion that the Board approve the minutes of the
May 6, 1980 meeting. Mr. Engle seconded the motion. The motion
CARRIED 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS
The Board discussed Ordinance No. 80-0-48. This ordinance clarifies
the type of multi-family structures that can be put in the commercial
districts under a special exception. The Council did not pass this
ordinance. The Board discussed sending more information to the Council
concerning the need for this clarification.
Mr. Troian made a motion that the Board send this ordinance back to
the Council with an explanation of why the Board feels this should be
passed. Mr. Engle seconded the motion. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
The Board also discussed the fact that there were still some ordinances
from the October 1979 Public Hearing that have not yet been prepared
for Council approval. There has still not been an ordinance defining
IImodel homesll.
Mr. Mackie suggested that the City Attorney be contacted to remind him
that this ordinance has not yet been prepared.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Mackie called the Board's attention to the fact that the City of
Edgewater has not reviewed or raised the fee for occupational licenses
in the City for a number of years. We charge a great deal less than
other cities in the area. It might be a good idea to suggest that the
Council increase some of these license fees as a way to increase revenue
for the City. He asked the Board members to study the list of fees and
come back with recommendations.
Mr. Troian asked if this was a duty of the Zoning Board.
Mr. Mackie said that it was not really the duty of the Zoning Board but
the Board had written up the specifications for Home Occupational licenses
and he did not believe it would be out of line for the Board to take
an interest in this area and make some suggestions.
The Board then discussed the draft of the proposed Planned Industrial
Development Zoning District.
The draft had been prepared by the City Planner at the direction of
the Zoning Board. The members took each page of the draft and made
some changes and additions.

The City Planner said he would incorporate the suggested changes and
additions into the draft and have it retyped for the Board members.
The Board discussed having the City Attorney review this draft.
It was decided that the corrected draft would be sent to the City
Attorney and that the Board would request that the Attorney attend
the next regular meeting of the Zoning Board (July 8, 1980) so that
the members can discuss this draft with the Attorney.
Mr. John Gross objected to the fact that he had not been able to get
a copy of this draft prior to the meeting. He felt that this should
be public information.
Mr. Mackie informed Mr. Gross that this was the first time the Board
had reviewed this draft. He did not believe that this became public
information until after it had been presented to the Board.
Mr. Gross was informed that he could get a copy of the draft if he
came into City Hall the next day to get it since it was not possible
to run off a copy during the meeting or to collect the charge for
said copy.
Mr. Mackie reminded Mr. Gross that this was only a proposed zoning
district that the Board was considering and that there would have to
be a meeting with the City Attorney and then a workshop with the City
Council before the Zoning Board would make a decision on the possibility
of adding this additional industrial zoning.
BOARD COMMENTS
There were no board comments.
Mr. Wheeler made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Siciliano
seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned.
