NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Jim Craig spoke to the board about adding a garage to his
house at 125 Merrimac Street. He showed a drawing to the members,
and explained exactly what he wants to do.
Mr. Wolfe stated that this board can not give a variance, however
we could recommend. He stated that this is back at trying to
conform with what is already there instead of doing something
different.
The board members discussed this in detail with Mr. Craig.
Mr. Craig could ask for a five or a ten foot variance in regard
to the setback, he could go with two plans.
Mrs. Webber stated that the $50.00 fee is awfully high and why
can't this board send their recommendation straight to the Council.
Mr. Wolfe stated that we could send a memo to the City Council
asking them to o.k. one of the plans.
Mr. and Mrs. Craig thanked the board members.
AT this time Mrs. Webber read the minutes of the August 12th
meeting stating that none of it is right. A certain remark made
by Mr. Mackie was questioned.
Mrs. Webber stated that she has something that might be of interest
to the board. She was told by the City clerk that if someone is
licensed in any City in Florida you do not have to get a license
in Edgewater.
Mr. Wolfe explained why this was changed and done this way.
Mrs. Webber stated that the performance bond is only $1,000.00 and
she feels that this should be more.

Mr. John Blanken read a letter which he wrote to the City Council
in regard to his riverfront property which was rezoned R-IA.
He explained about his seawall construction. He explained his
exact plans.
Mr. Blanken read a questionaire which was passed around. He
continued to explain his situation to the board.
Mr. Wolfe stated that he does not really understand what Mr.
Blanken wants.
Mr. Blanken stated that he wants for him and his neighbors to
go back to the old zoning in that area.
Mr. Wolfe stated that he will have to petition the Zoning Board
for a rezoning, and there will have to be a Public Hearing on
this.
The board members looked at Mr. Blanken's drawings and discussed
this further with him. They explained that Mr. Blanken will
have to see the City Clerk to find out steps to go through for
the Public Hearing.
Mr. Wolfe explained to Mr. Blanken that when they had the Public
Hearing for rezoning, no one pointed these things out to the
board so they did not realize that they were going to create
a problem by rezoning this area.
There was more discussion in regard to the procedures to follow
in order to have a Public Hearing scheduled.
Mr. Mackie made a motion to adjourn being seconded by Mr. Wiggias
Said motion CARRIED.
