ROLL CALL Mr. John Brittingham Mr. James Mackie Mrs. Ryta Webber Mr. David Wiggins Mr. Robert Wolfe Present Present Present Excused Present , NEW BUSINESS Chairman Wolfe stated that the reason for this special meeting is to discuss our recommendations on the amendment of business industrial classifications to permit construction of residences within its classifications conditional upon approval of the City. Chairman Wolfe stated that a simple solution to this would be to put under the Special Exceptions, residential homes. Mrs. Webber brought out the point that many of the businesses along U. S. #1 want to raise the roof and put in living quarters. She felt that this would present problems for the City. Chairman Wolfe stated that there are two problems that exist in the zoning. The first is Mrs. Minton on Old County Road, she would like to build a house on the property where her house burned down. This property is zoned I-I. The second is that Mr. Harris would like to build a building for his place of business with two apartments overhead, on Yelkca Terrace. Chairman Wolfe stated that there was a cover sheet in this ordinance that went in before residential, that stated that residential could be built in any district, but this is not in the ordinance any more. Mr. Mackie stated that Economy Imports Garage on U. S. #1 is an eye sore and that something should be done about this. He also stated that if these vegetable stands are interfering with a business man in Edgewater and doesn't have the proper facilities, he felt that he should be taken off the lot. Chairman Wolfe suggested that as individuals, the board members go by Economy Imports and take a look. Then we can come back and discuss this and make a recommendation to the City. Mr. Mackie stated that this board should have copies of all of the books that the City has pertaining to zoning. Chairman Wolfe instructed the secretary to send a memo to the City Manager questioning where and what has happened to the following items: 1. Sign Ordinance 2. Subdivision Ordinanc 3. Requesting a copy of the ordinance covering peddlers and their permits, health & etc. 4. Requesting a copy of all ordinances and the Charter of the City of Edgewater. ....'- ... o o Chairman Wolfe stated that we should recommend to the Council that under the zones of B-1 through B-6, I-I through 1-3, these zones will be allowed to have residential homes with their lot conforming to the residential regulations. Mr. Bri~tingham stated that the first question that is going to be asked is what residential zone we are speaking of, He stated' that in his own opinion it would have to conform to R-3 as a minimum. The Board discussed this matter in full and decided that the residential zoning should be changed to R-S due to the fact that R-3 would be eliminating duplexes. ADJOURNMENT OR RECESS Mr. Mackie made a motion to adjourn this meeting being seconded by Mr. Brittingham. Motion passed.
