Dexter, New Smyrna Beach Richard Diamond, City Planner Mrs. James Mackie Jr., 12 Lee Drive Robert Christy, Mayor Paul Loeffler, Building Inspector Chairman Wolfe explained the way the the Public Hearing would be handled. We will listen to the pros and cons, and each person will be able to speak for three minutes for or against only one time. Chairman Wolfe also stated that there will not be a decision made tonight. Mr. Dexter asked when will they know how they stand. Chairman Wolfe stated that it would be in a few weeks. He went on to explain that we have to have a meeting with the Planning Board. Mr. Hamel asked if the planning of the City had not already been decided? Chairman Wolfe stated that they are in the planning stage now. Mr. Hamel asked what was decided at the last Zoning Board meeting. Chairman Wolfe stated that they decided to hold a Public Hearing. We must hold a Public Hearing before any decisions are made by the Zoning Board. ~ . . o o Mr. Hamel stated that he did not think that there had to be two Public Hearings. Chairman Wolfe stated that the Zoning Board holds one and the City holds another one. Chairman Wolfe went on to say that the public is also invited to the meeting where they will discuss this further. At this time, Mr. Hamel made his presentation. He stated that he would like at this time to talk on any objections that may come up. He feels that his proposition is very clear. Chairman Wolfe asked if there were any objections to this zoning coming before the City. Mr. Arthur Schillings of 2351 South Ridgewood Avenue, stated that he is not speaking now as a member of the Planning Board. In the first place, it is not clear what Mr. Hamel is going to construct and put in the residential area as well as in the commercial area. He went on to say that in the layout he has seen there is only one entrance proposed in the entire development. He stated that he was hoping to get a presentation on the plans so that we may know what they have in mind. Otherwise, we are assuming something that may not be true, and we are making assumptions based on lack of infor- mation. He went on to say that under the zoning ordinance it is suppose to show the approximate layout of buildings and other highway type business and he feels that we do not need to have a group of large shops along the entire stretch of U.S. #1. We have some nice areas there that he would like to see limited to a neigh- borhood type organization. Chairman Wolfe asked what Mr. Schillings meant by saying that B-3 is tourist oriented? He said that B-3 is Highway Service Business. Mr. Schillings stated that this is tourist oriented. He also stated that this is basically transit. Chairman Wolfe stated that this is basically for the people of the City of Edgewater. Mr. Schillings stated that his first preference would be to keep the whole area residential. Chairman Wolfe asked Mr. Schillings why he wanted two entrances? Mr. Schillings stated as a safety factor. This is a proposed area with over one hundred units and there is only one entrance in the whole area and in case of a serious accident this could be a very serious situation. Chairman Wolfe asked Mr. Diamond the City Planner, if the new concept is to have two entrances into areas. Mr. Diamond stated that usually this will be circulated to the various department heads and see what they say. Mayor Christy stated that he has spoken to the Police Chief, the Fire Chief, the local Civil Defense and the County Civil Defense about this and they all have the same opinion that two entrances would be better for safety. Mr. Hamel stated that he is planning on a fifty foot street and Florida Shores only has one entrance until you go all the way down to 30th Street. However, he does not feel that this is that much of an objection. He went on to say that he does not feel that the man who is developing this will object to a second street. He does not feel that this is a matter to discuss at this time. He thought that this is a matter of Zoning. As far as the business goes, we have B-3 all the way up and down that area now and he does not see any reason why this property can not also be B-3. -2- r o ~ Mr. Hamel also said that he does not understand why a furniture store was not included in B-2. This is one of the things that he would like to have in there. Mr. Dexter stated that this plan is only a preliminary plan. We are trying to find out what land we have to work with, then the man will come up with a plan for the Planning Board. All we want now is to get the property rezoned. Mr. Charles Mann, President of the Pyramid Park Corp spoke to the board. He has the property adjoining this on the south. Mr. Mann stated that he has no quarrel with changing the zoning from MH-1 to R-4 and that was the original notice that went out. This was received by them on March'.llth. He stated that he noticed in the paper on March 19th that it was going to be MH-1 to R-4 and B-3. Mr. Hamel was good enough, however, to come down and bring him a copy of the correction which was dated March 14th. We feel that the first place that when he reads Ordinance 880 the application must include the approximate location of the building to be put on that land. It must show the character of the building and the approximate gross area. On the plan that he has, he sees nothing in the B-3 Section. Mr. Hamel stated that he feels that it is an impossibility to be able to tell you what is going into each building as you plan to put them up and down U.S. #1. Chairman Wolfe agreed with Mr. Hamel about this. Chairman Wolfe stated that you will have to come up with another drawing showing what you plan to put there. This must be done within thirty days after the zoning has been granted. Mr. Williams asked how much would be zoned business and how much will be zoned R-4? Chairman Wolfe stated that will be up to the Zoning Board. Mr. Mackie stated that he thought Mr. Hamel was told that the plans would have to be approved with the Zoning Board before he can go ahead with anything. Chairman Wolfe stated that this is correct. Chairman Wolfe stated that the developer will have to give the board an idea of what he will be putting in there. Mr. Schillings asked if it would be unreasonable to ask someone who is proposing this to give us an idea of the type of dwellings they plan to put in the R-4 area? Chairman Wolfe stated that he is sure that this will conform with the building code. Mr. Nichols stated that we do not tell anyone what type of building he is going to have to build, as long as he meets the specifications of the Ordinance. Chairman Wolfe read what was required by the Ordinance. He stated that he thinks that Mr. Hamel should get Belmont homes and get a sketch into the board in a couple of weeks. The Zoning Board will hold a meeting with the Planning Board next Tuesday and they will discuss this matter again. Mr. Hamel stated that he will have these plans at that time. went on to say that he would like to express to everyone that a man is going to put a half a million dollars into something is not going to risk that kind of an investment. He when he -3- u o There was some discussion on the property to the south of this project; how it would be zoned. This would be up to the Planning Board.
