Mr. Hall plans to put in a convenient food store and other small shops permitted in the neighborhood business district. He stated that he would have 160 homes in the subdivision once it is completed and he believes that neighborhood type businesses would be adyantageous to the residents of the subdivision. The district is zoned R-2A and he would like it rezoned to B-2. Mr. Carter Wood and Mr. and Mrs. Cibu were opposed to the building of the business and the rezoning. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Phinney had no objections to the building of the business or the rezoning. Mr. Siciliano said that he felt this would be advantageous to the subdivision as there would be 160 homes and the residents would not have to go so far to get to a convenience store. Mr. Mackie asked for the Boards opinion. Mr. Bowser yes, Mr. Opal no, Mr. Engle yes, Mr.. Wheeler yes, Mr. Troian wanted further study, Mr. Siciliano yes and Mr. Mackie yes. Mr. Bowser made a motion to adjourn the Public Hearing. Mr. Wheeler seconded the motion. The motion CARRIED 7-0. REGULAR MEETING APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mr. Siciliano made a motion to accept the minutes of March 4th. Mr. Wheeler seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 7-0. OLD BUSINESS The Board reviewed the November 19, 1979 Public Hearing. Mr. Mackie said that the second Public Hearing for building two story homes East of Riverside Drive will be held on April 14, 1980. u ~ The Board discussed resubmitting the request for height restrictions to the Council. This was one of the recommendations of the Zoning Board that was part of the Public Hearings held in October and November of 1979. The Board agreed that these restrictions would be in the interest of the majority of the residents and would help keep the density down in certain areas. Mr. Siciliano made a motion that the Zoning Board send a letter to the Council stating that the Board has reviewed the changes in height restrictions for various zoning districts and is still in favor of the new height restrictions. . Mr. Engle seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 7-0. The Board also discussed some of the recommendations that Council had approved but ordinances had not yet been written on and also the ordinances that have been passed as a result of these public hearings. The Board also discussed additional changes to 715.02 concerning site plan approvals. The Board had sent a letter to the Council but it was nnt discussed at the Public Hearing because the additional changes had not been advertised. . Mr. Siciliano suggested that the Board resubmit the letter to Council regarding additional changes in 715.02. The Board agreed to ~ this suggestion. The Board discussed the subdivision ordinance. Mr. Mackie said that he felt the Board might want to consider requesting that the amendment to the ordinance making it necessary for a developer to have an MAl appraisal for the 5% valuation of land to be given to the City for parks and recreation be rescinded. This MAl appraisal puts an additional financial burden on the developer. The Board agreed that this could be discussed at a meeting of the subdivision committee. Under New Business the Board discussed the letter from the Fire Chief stating that a fire hydrant should be put in at the entrance to Pelican Cove. Mr. Siciliano made a motion that the Zoning Board notify the Council that they concur with the Fire Chief and that final site plan approval for the commercial building in the B-3 district of the Pelican Cove subdivision should not be approved without installation of the fire hydrant. Mr. Opal seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 7-0. The Board discussed Home Occupational Licenses. Mr. Mackie said that he would like the Board members to review the regulations for Home Occupational Licenses. It is possible that too many of these licenses are being issued and that many people do not comply with all the regulations. He would like the Board to review these licenses and possibly come up with some suggestions that would give the City better control over this type of license. . The Board discussed the letter from the Industrial Board concerning the area north of Park Ave. and west of the railroad track. Some of this area is zoned 1-3. Lone Star owns most of the 1-3 property. The rest of the property is zoned agriculture and is owned primarily by FEC railroad. There is a lot which is privately owned and also part of the Highlands subdivision is located on the west side of the track. This subdivided area is not presently accessible. The Industrial Board has recommended that the area adjacent to the track be zoned 1-2 heavy industry. The area immediately north of Park Ave. would be zoned I-I light industry and the remaining area zoned 1-3 industrial park zoning. The Industrial Board would like the Zoning Board to consider this proposal and make a recommendation to the Council. ? Q o Mr. Siciliano said that he planned to discuss with the Industrial Board the possibility of making the northernmost boundary of the area a conservation district. This would provide a buffer between the industrial areas and the canal. Mr. Mackie suggested that the Board study all the permitted uses in the industrial zones especially 1-2, Heavy Industry. The Board may wish to create a special zoning for this area that could be a compromise between what the FEC wants in the area and the fact that Edgewater is not suited to a lot of types of heavy industry. The Council had requested that the Zoning Board consider rezoning the area presently zoned 1-3, Industrial Park, to 1-2, Heavy Industry. This would include the area owned by Lone Star Cement Co. which is a heavy industry. The Board held meetings with repres~ntatives of Lone Star and some adjacent property owners. The Board has not yet made a recommendation to the Council on this area because of the problem of whether or not to recommend rezoning just the Lone Star property (by metes and bounds) or some of the adjacent property also. The Board discussed the impact of rezoning the area owned by FEC. They also discussed different ways to gain access to the property and truck routes out of the City. Mr. Hurley, City Planner, said that New Smyrna Beach already had plans to extend 10th St. to Josephine to another proposed road that would connect with 44. Edgewater could extend a road west of the property in question that would connect with Elizabeth St. in New Smyrna Beach and then with the proposed road to 44. This would take some of the traffic away from Park Ave. Mr. Mackie suggested that the Board set a workshop to discuss the rezoning of this area. The Board agreed to hold a workshop on April 16, 1980 at 1:00 P.M. Mr. Mackie asked if the Board wanted to take any action on the Public Hearing concerning the rezoning of certain property at Wildwood Subdivision? Mr. Troian made a motion that the Board table this for further study. Mr. Opal seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 4-3. No date was set for further discussion about the rezoning of the Wildwood property although Mr. Mackie suggested that possibly the Board might wish to hold a Special Meeting on April 16, 1980 before the workShop so that a decision might be made. The Board did not set a date for a decision on the rezoning of the Wildwood property. Mr. Engle made a motion to adjourn. Mr. Opal seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned.
