Said motion CARRIED. NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Wolfe stated that Mr. Pringle of Handy Way and Mrs. Mackie are present at the meeting. Chairman Wolfe stated that we have a communication from the East Central Planning Council wanting to know if we want to get back on their publication list. He stated that he will give this to the secretary and tell them that we would like to be put on the list again. Chairman Wolfe read a letter from the Zoning Bulletin, he explained this further. It was agreed that the board would like to advise the City to purchase a subscription for one year in the amount of $22.50. The board members went over something that Mr. Mackie drew up. They agreed upon the contents and Mr. Mackie said that when Mrs. Turner returns he will have her sign it and make copies for all of the members. Mr. Taylor said that this more or less takes the place of by-laws which each board is required to work under. The board members began discussing the Flood Control Program and the map involved in this. Mr. Pringle spoke to the board stating that what they are seeking is a self- service gasoline station installed at their store located in Edgewater. He stated that the City of Edgewater has no Ordinance that prohibits self- service gasoline stations and he was surprised that the Council tabled their request. He stated that the State of Florida has written an Ordinance regarding self-service stations, and he gave a copy of this to Mr. Wolfe. Chairman Wolfe stated that this is a very good Ordinance. The board members read this Ordinance. Mr. Pringle said that the City of Deland simply adopted the State Ordinance in regard to the self-service stations. Chairman Wolfe read certain sections of our Ordinance 880 to Mr. Pringle. He stated that he does not feel anyone is really against this, however you will have two businesses under one and you will have to have your off street parking area, and as long as it complies with the County and the State he can go along with it. , r o o Chairman Wolfe explained that certain amendments have been made to the Ordinance in order to satisfy a few special requests, because we had not included this in the Ordinance. Mr. Pringle stated that New Smyrna Beach accepted his plans at their meeting last night. Mr. Mackie stated that as far as he is concerned there is a health problem here which has to be settled by the Health Department before we even vote on this. Mr. Pringle stated that he has been to the Volusia County Zoning Board and there has been no trouble as far as the Health Departments are concerned. Mr. Mackie explained that he has spoke with the Health Department and there is a health problem here which requires a permit. Mr. Pringle stated that he does comply with the State requirements in regard to the Health Department. Chairman Wolfe stated that he believes what Mr. Mackie is trying to say is if the people handle gas they can not handle food or they have to be able to wash and so on. Mr. Pringle stated that he now operates two self-service stations in Deland, one in Oak Hill and have received permission for the one in New Smyrna, and this subject has never come up before. Mr. Mackie stated that he has talked with the Health Department about this because he knew that sooner or later we would be faced with a request of this nature. Chairman Wolfe stated that his thinking is to adopt what the State has. Mr. Pringle said that the present Ordinance lists A,B,and C type gas stations under the B-3 classification, and perhaps a D type could be added for self- service stations and adopt the States Ordinance that pertains to this, wouldn't the City of Edgewater be covered? Chairman Wolfe stated that this is his feeling exactly. Mr. Pringle stated that if there was any disagreement with the Health Depart- ment, then the City would not issue us a permit until this matter was resolved with the department. Mr. Taylor read certain sections of the Ordinance to Mr. Pringle. The board members looked over Mr. Pringle's site plan, and he answered several questions of the board. Chairman Wolfe stated that State law comes first, and Mr. Pringles plan complies. Mr.Wiggins made a motion that before Mr. Pringle gets his permit from the City, he must show an O.K. by the Health Department and his buffer zone must be planted in the back of his store, the setbacks to the North is 25 feet from Virginia Street, setback from U.S. #1 is 25 feet, being seconded by Mr. Taylor. Chairman Wolfe stated that we will have to update the Ordinance adding Section D in regard to service stations. There was more discussion. Upon vote said motion CARRIED. -2- ~ . o Q The board discussed some of the changes that have been made to Ordinance 880. Mr. Taylor asked if anything is going to be suggested in regard to the Sign Ordinance? It was explained to Mr. Taylor that a special meeting was called in order that the people who objected to the Sign Ordinance could voice their opinions and maybe changes could be made, however no one attended the meeting. It was sent back to the Council and since that time the Ordinance has been in limbo. Mr. Taylor asked if the side walk stands are going to be brought up to the Council? At this time Mr. Mackie read his list of items which he would like brought up at the joint meeting with the Council. The members discussed each item. Mr. Wiggins made a motion to adjourn, being seconded by Mr. Mackie. Said motion CARRIED. -3-
