The Zoning Board discussed the need for tape recording during work-
shop sessions and it was concluded by the entire Board that since
we were not allowed to make any decisions or to vote on any issue,
thus it was our entire consensus that it wasnlt necessary. Mr.
Woods was asked for his legal opi~ion concerning this matter and
he concurred in stipulating that no decisions could be made, nor
votes taken as long as only general discussions took place.
Board members discussed what effect would the Council IS decision
have on the rejection of the Board's recommendation pertaining to
the B-3 Special Exceptions. It was generally concluded that the
basic regulation would remain the same and that a Mobile Home Sales
and operative auto sales would not need to have a buffer zone behind
it. Mr. Woods was asked for an opinion and he said it would seem
that way.
The Board discussed the upcoming Public Hearings that are scheduled
and their impact on the City as a whole. During this discussion
it was brought up that when rezoning affects 5% or more of the City's
land that two Public Hearings are required in addition to advertise-
ment in the newspapers. It was concluded that this is an expensive
process to the taxpayers of Edgewater, therefore, we should put the
situation on the forthcoming agenda of our next regular meeting to
see if we can recommend to the City Council of Edgewater an approach
to alleviate this unsatisfactory condition.
Upon presentation of the City Map, by Ruth Ruprert, we learned that
progress is continuing on schedule and status of City map concerning
specific sections which were explained to members. At this point,
a suggestion was made for Ruth Ruppert to attend any future workshop
meetings to re-read needed legal descriptions or changes to the
City Map.
Motion made and seconded to adjourn the Workshop at 3:40 P.M.
