OLD BUSINESS - Industrial Zoned Land
At the last meeting it was suggested that the Board prepare an inventory of
industrially zoned land in Edgewater. Mrs. Massey explained the meaning of
parcel, as i:t appears on the zOl')ing map, and copies of the description of
the parcels in 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 were distributed to the Board members, along
with sections of the zoning map showing industrial land. They went over the
map, identifying the businesses on each parcel. Mrs. Massey pointed out
that the people on the north of Park Avenue, although they are paying taxes,
cannot get to their land because of the railroad. It was brought out that
there is no industrial land to show to a prospect if one did approach the
city. Also, municipal services cannot be provided to this land, such as
a fire truck, if needed, because of the barricade. Mr. Schneider made a
motion to ask the City Clerk to have the City Attorney rule on the legality
of the F.E.C.'s right to deny public access to a piece of property within
the City limits, and which require City service. If the easement isn't
legal he should find a way for the City to require the F.E.C. to grant
access to the property. Mr. Foleno seconded the motion. The motion CARRIED
7-0. Mrs. Massey asked if a letter was required or if she could just talk
to Mrs. Kinsey. The members felt it should be in letter form for the record.
Mr. Schneider brought up the requirements of the Planning Commission as
pertains to property in the lOO-year flood plain, noting that this affects
all the land in the F.E.C. Industrial Park.
Mr. Schneider explained further the problems created for those people in
the industrial zone who are in the flood plain. The members discussed
~length this issue. Also discussed was the new tree ordinance, which
requires 25 percent crown coverage. Mr. Schneider said he would like to
see this reduced to perhaps 10 percent on industrial property, if not
all properties. He would also go with 30 percent green area.
The Board members felt there was a need to have a workshop with City Council
to discuss the issues raised at this meeting.
Mrs. Massey reported on the meeting for the Certified Development Company
held on October 3rd. John Vazquez reported further on the membership
program. They commented that Councilman Jack Spencer has been to most bf
the meetings and has been very helpful in repre~enting the area. Mr. Vazquez
explained how the CDC works. The applicant puts up 10%, the CDC puts up 40%
and the local financing institution puts up 50%, and holds the first mortgage.
The money the CDC puts up is from the SBA. Mr. Vazquez explained that this
CDC covers the area from Rose Bay and out to Rt. 415 and down to the County
Line, basically, Samsula, Oak Hill, Edgewater, New Smyrna Beach (Southeast
Volusia) .
The members discussed the agenda for the joint meeting with City Council
which they proposed for the next meeting. Mr. Vazquez felt they should
discuss the need for someone to represent the City in confidence when a
prospect comes to the area seeking information. He agreed to discuss this
item at the joint meeting. Other items on the agenda will be: access to
lands; tree ordinance and cost of engineering; flood plain; Certified
