CERTIFICATE OF ZONING REQUEST COZ 86-35 TOMLIN, INC., AMERICAN MEDICAL CLINIC 2102 SOUTH RIDGEWOOD B-5 Linda L. McKee was present to discuss this certificate of zoning. She informed the Board this would be a diet and weight lost clinic. Mrs. Blazi asked Ms. McKee what other type of license she needed in order to have this business. Ms. McKee replied no other additional license were needed. The Board questioned if they would be prescribing medicines, vitamins or anything. Ms. McKee replied they don't really stock vitamins and things of that nature and if a doctor suggest a patient needs vitamins he would let us know. She added they would not have a doctor in the office but if someone needed one they would have a list. She said they have a licensed LPN in the clinic that will take the patient's medical history and if the patient states they have a medical problem they will be referred to their own doctor. She said they can do a blood test to find out if there are any medical problems, the LPN can do that but usually they would be going to a lab or their doctor's office. She added the licensed LPN will teach the patients how to diet. Assistant Planner Plaskett said she had contacted the Health Department and they do not require a counselor to have any type of certification. She added this is a State regulation and we have no jurisdication over it. Assistant Planner Plaskett suggested that we have a copy of the LPN's license to attach to the occupational license and told Ms. McKee she needed to change the number of employees on her application to two since she would be there at least one day a week. Mrs. Blazi asked if they were going to be selling any type of liquid, herbal or other type of dietary items. Ms. McKee replied no, if a doctor says a patient needs to be on vitamins or whatever we will have the patient put on vitamins. She added they do not supply medicines but they would have natural vitamins, extra protein, those would not be medications. Mrs. Blazi asked if they would get most of their clients from doctors or what? Ms. McKee replied they do advertising. Mr. Wheeler told Ms. McKee to supply the City with her telephone number so that the City may get in touch with her if necessary. Mrs. Blazi said the licensing application calls for counseling which relieves the City of any responsibility. She added the name and a copy of the current license of anyone working there should be supplied to the City. Mr. Klein added if at any time that person changes the name and license should be given to the City. Mr. Loeffler made a motion to approve the COZ. Motion was seconded by Mr. Klein. Motion CARRIED 6-0. COZ 86-36 AUTO BY-PASS CORP. 108 SOUTH RIDGEWOOD B-3 Mr. Billy J. Smith was present to discuss this certificate of zoning. Mr. Smith said he is assembling computer circuit cards which will isolate a broken terminal so the rest of the terminals will be able to communicate with the main computer. Mr. Smith said his office will be located in a room at the rear of the Pet Grooming Store at 108 South Ridgewood. Mr. Smith said all his business would be by mail. He will receive the order by mail, make the card and send it out by mail. The Board determined that one parking space was needed. Mr. Wheeler told Mr. Smith he would have to pave. Assistant Planner Plaskett said if the whole building were to change use then they can require the whole thing be repaved. Mr. Wheeler said Mr. Smith would have to pave the entrance also. Mr. Smith said he would be using the carport for his parking space and it is already paved. Mr. Wheeler read the paving -2- v 'J regulations from the Code Book. Assistant Planner Plaskett said that is in conjunction with new construction or a complete new change of use. She added if the gentleman did not have any paved parking then they could require him to pave the access but it is like it is a grand fathered use. The access to that parking space has already been provided. If there was no pavement then they could require him to pave it. She added if they require him to pave an additional space for himself then they could require him to pave the access to that space. Mr. Fischer, Building Official, said Mr. Smith would have to put a solid core wood door or a metal skin door between the two businesses. Mr. Smith said he would need to see the owner about topping the driveway. Mr. Wheeler said we can approve this subject to his paving. Mrs. Blazi made a motion to approve the COZ subject to his resolving the paved parking problem and installing the door. Motion was seconded by Mr. Klein. Motion CARRIED 6-0. COZ 86-37 SPA FACTORY OUTLET 2102 SOUTH RIDGEWOOD B-5 Mr. William Kane was present to discuss this certificate of zoning which is to operate a retail business in the Downtown Edgewater Plaza. Mr. Kane said the display would be indoors only. He also said his factory complex is located on Park Avenue. Mr. Klein made a motion to approve the certificate of zoning. Mr. Loeffler seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 6-0. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Wheeler stated the Board had received copies of resolution 86-0-7 establishing set back encroachments and a definition of screen rooms and they also had copies of resolution 86-0-8 adding dimensional requirements of the rear yard for East Riverside Drive. These resolutions were adopted by the City Council on the 7th day of April. MISCELLANEOUS Assistant Planner Plaskett told the Board they had copies of a memo attached to one of the site plans explaining about a contradiction in the parking requirements. She said the buffer in section 700. "Off Street Parking Requirmentsll is five (5) feet and the B-2, B-3 and B-4 zoning districts state the "first ten (10) feet abutting the front boundary shall be used for landscaping or entrance ingress or egress. She said these are in direct contradiction and we have researched the minutes of past meetings and found in 1982 the five foot buffer was discussed. It was to be added to all zones but never was. Mr. Wheeler asked if they wanted to change it to five feet or ten or leave it as it is, it is up to us. Assistant Planner Plaskett said you can't leave it as it is because it is in direct conflict. She added the developers are going by the diagram included in the parking requirements which calls for five feet. After a lengthy discussion, Assistant Planner Plaskett recommended they keep the ten (10) foot buffer in the B-2, B-3 and B-4 districts. She added five feet would make it very skimpy. Mr. Wheeler said he was not in favor of cutting it back. Assistant Planner Plaskett said she was having a problem with the site plans because of this contradiction, therefore we need to get this resolved. Mrs. Blazi made a motion that the Board request the City Planner advise the City Council of this conflict and mend section 700. to retain the ten (10) feet buffer dimensions in the B-2, B-3 and B-4 zoning districts. Mr. Klein seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 6-0. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Assistant Planner Plaskett said she had written a memo to the City Council telling them basically what needs to be done to update the Comprehensive Plan. She added in 1982 the Council adopted an ordinance making the Planning and Zoning Board the actual agency to review the Comprehensive Plan. She said this entails an extensive amount of reading and holding public hearings. She added we have to hold one public hearing for each element in the plan and we currently have thirteen elements. The hearings are to obtain input of the residents of the City and find out what direction they want to go in. It is required by law that we have their input, compile this information into a rough draft and take it to the City Council for a preliminary draft approval. Then we send five sets to the Department of Community Affairs and four other agencies. They will make their comments and return them back to us and then we need to go from there discussing the implementation. She said we will have to set up a workshop meeting to review the comprehensive plan that is in existence now and discuss dates and time for public hearings. She added we will take one element at a time and update it. She told the Board they are already seven months behind. Mrs. Blazi asked about staying late after the next meeting and discussing the workshop. Mr. Wheeler concurred. There being no further business to come before the Board, Mr. Loeffler made a motion to adjourn. Mr. Mackie seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 10:40 A.M. Minutes respectively submitted by -3- Planning and Zoning Minutes Jan Morris April 17, 1986
