OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Wolfe stated that he has a letter from the East Central Florida Regional
Planning Council, if anyone wants to read it they may.
Mr. Wolfe read from the Zoning Bulletin. He passed this around for each
member to look over. He stated that there is another notice of subscription
and he will turn this over for the City Clerk to take care of.
At this time Mr. Wolfe stated. that the record should show that the following
people are present at this meeting: Mr. Leo Turner, Miss Lillian Straub and
Mrs. Irene Mackie.
The board went over the opinion from Attorney Weaver in regard to Mr. Blanken's
request. It was decided that the City should send Mr. Blanken's application
and money back to him and notify him as to what he can do at this point. He
should refile with what the attorney specified in the letter.
After discussion it was decided that Mr. Blanken1s application should be
returned to him and he be told to take action as he wishes.
Mr. Wolfe read a letter from Mr. Ross Sullivan in regard to a purchase he is
proposing in the Florida Shores area. The property he is thinking of buying
is now zoned residential and he wishes to buy only to build a shopping complex,
and is requesting that the zoning be changed to commercial.
Mr. Wolfe stated that he feels that this would be spot zoning again. If this
area was changed to commercial it would be defeating the purpose of what we
have designed down there.
The board members discussed the area. Mrs. Turner stated that she is very
much opposed to spot zoning.
Mr. Taylor suggested that the gentleman be told that his request was not
brought to the board properly.
Mr. Wolfe stated that this is not a proper request because he does not own
the property and it would be spot zoning.

Mr. Mackie reminded the members of the suggestions that he made at the March 2nd
meeting. He suggested that we should submit some of these changes in the Ordinances,
and are we going to be able to use the assistant attorney for this.
Mrs. Webber stated that these things should be brought up to the Council.
Mr. Mackie asked when we are going to get together with the Chamber of Commerce
and work on the Sign Ordinance?
Mr. Wolfe stated that he doesn't think anyone knows where the Sign Ordinance is.
Mrs. Webber stated that she has the copy, which has the corrections on it.
There was more discussion about the attorney, and whether the assistant attorney
can be used as the board's counsel.
There was discussion again about getting together with the Chamber of Commerce,
and it was suggested by Mr. Mackie that the entire Zoning Board hold a meeting
and have a couple of representatives from the Council and the Chamber come to
the meeting. This was agreed upon. It was decided that the Zoning Board could
have this meeting on April 21st.
It was also decided that the Building Official should be invited to attend this
meeting on the 21st.
Mr. Wiggins made a motion to adjourn, being seconded by Mr. Taylor. Said motion
CARRIED.
