PUBLIC HEARINGS. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Mayor HaYman explained the quasi-judicial and legislative
proceedings they would be following.
City Attorney storey explained the items that are quasi-judicial
proceedings are the zoning classification changes. The
Comprehensive Plan amendments, the abandonments, and the
development agreements do not need to be conducted as quasi-
jUdicial proceedings.
City Attorney storey suggested allowing staff presentation that
would encompass 5A - 5E and the comments can be incorporated into
the record on each of the following public hearings. The
standard of review would be different for the Comprehensive plan
amendments, Items A and C.
City Attorney storey explained on the zoning matters you have the
seven standards of review which would be necessary for the
Council to revolve their decision around. Same would be the case
in public hearings regarding 95-0-20 and 95-0-21 which would
allow one staff presentation and then incorporate those comments
for the record on those two items and the same on 95-0-22, 95-0-
23 and the development agreement. It would take separate action
by the Council on those items but she feels one staff
presentation could be done to save time.
Councilman Hatfield asked at what point do they make public
disclosure. City Attorney Storey informed Council to do that as
the initial public hearing is opened prior to any staff comments.
If they had any communication with anyone on the subjects at
hand, it should be disclosed prior to any presentations being
made.
Councilman Hatfield stated he saw citizens in the audience that
may be interested in Item 5N - Outside Storage. City Attorney
Storey explained staff recommendation is to continue that and not
hold that public hearing this evening. It would take Council
action to continue that again.
City Attorney Storey informed Council they could take care of
this matter now.
Councilman Hatfield made a motion to continue Item 5N to the
February 5th meeting, second by Councilman Hays. The motion
CARRIED 5-0.
A. Public hearing Ord. 95-0-16 Comprehensive Plan amendment -
Coronado Paint/Snider street
Mayor HaYman opened the public hearing.
Councilman Hatfield announced a meeting he had with Mr. Dill and
Mr. DeVoes.
Mayor HaYman stated he and his father built most of the houses on
W. Ocean Avenue from u.s. #1 to the railroad. He has driven the
whole neighborhood in applying the seven standards. He has not
spoken with any of the residents but had one phone inquiry.
Mark Karet, Director of Community Development, presented his
credentials.

....,
Mr. Karet made a presentation regarding Items 5A - E. He
explained some of his comments will also be applicable to Items
5H and 51. Mr. Karet identified the land use designations and
zoning districts which surround the two parcels being discussed.
Mr. Karet commented on conformance with the comprehensive plan.
He then commented on the future land use element and the nine
land use principles in the future land use element.
Mr. Karet explained in staff's opinion, four of these nine
principles are more relevant than the others for consideration
with this request. He further commented on the four principles.
Mr. Karet spoke about the zoning criteria. In staff's opinion
the proposed rezoning will not damage the character of the
surrounding area. Three of the four relevant land use principles
and six of the seven zoning standards in staff's opinion have
been met.
Mr. Karet informed Council of the LDRA's recommendation.
Mr. Karet read Item 3 of the development agreement regarding
development uses permitted.
city Attorney storey suggested all the presentations be heard
first and any questions and then go back through each of the
ordinances.
Peter Heebner, General Counsel, Coronado Paint Co., informed
Council that Dave Dill and Joe Martin were also available to
answer any questions. He feels they have met all of the criteria
for both the modifications of the comprehensive land use plan as
well as to justify the rezoning of the property.
Mr. Heebner informed Council they formally agreed to the language
in the development agreement.
Mr. Heebner made a presentation pertaining to Items 5A - 5E.
James Clark Day, Snider street, spoke in opposition to the
rezoning and comprehensive plan change, as well as the closing of
Snider street.
Judith Lichter, 826 Navigators Way, asked Mr. Karet if Coronado
Paint passes on to another owner, does the agreement go with the
plant.
City Attorney storey stated the agreement is binding on Coronado
Paint and any successors or assigns. That language is included
in the development agreement.
Councilman Hays stated in looking at the conceptual drawing,
there is a retention area designed into this which would be to
the west of Mr. Day's house which would act as a buffer zone. He
feels some thought has been put into it by Mr. Martin. He feels
part of Mr. Day's concerns have been addressed
Barbara HutChinson, 402 Hart Avenue, recommended that Council
make sure every angle is covered in the agreement since previous
promises by Coronado Paint have not been kept. She asked what
course of action will be taken if Coronado does not abide by the
agreement.
City Attorney storey explained if the agreement is not complied
with then the underlying zoning change becomes null and void and
the City will be able to take enforcement action either against
Coronado Paint or action to enforce the development agreement.

...",
Mayor Hayman commented on the strict mandates from the state that
have filtered down administratively to the City that require us
to have the necessary buffering that Ms. Hutchinson made mention
did not occur before.
Councilman Hatfield commented on a parcel across from Coronado
that has not lived up to the agreement that we made with those
people. Because they have not lived up to that agreement, we
have not pursued our agreement with them and will not until they
do what they say they were going to do. Once Coronado gives us a
development agreement, we have got the legal right to pursue
them.
There were no further comments at this time.
Mayor Hayman informed Council they would be going into the
rebuttal phase. There was no rebuttal from the staff.
There was no rebuttal from the applicant.
Diana Miller, 148 W. Ocean Avenue, expressed concern with the
rezoning of Ocean Avenue and letting Coronado build their parking
lot on the corner.
Susan Cummings, 502 Old County, Miss Peggy's Day School, spoke in
opposition to the request citing traffic concerns.
Councilman Hays questioned the traffic being routed down Old
County Road and if Ms. Cummings was referring to school traffic.
He asked Chief Schumaker if there is anything in the agreement
that would make Chief Schumaker believe that the traffic would
increase or the risk to the people going to and from the school
would be greater. Chief Schumaker did not.
Councilman Hays asked if there have been any reported complaints
or instances regarding the paint fumes. Mr. Karet stated we have
not had any complaints directed to his office in regards to
fumes. He explained that the excavation for the tank truck
facility exposed underground piping and paint that was spread on
the soil before environmental policies were in effect.
Councilman Hays questioned there being possibly toxic materials
in the ground right now. Mr. Karet explained they have a
facility that vacuums underneath the soil to remove toxins and
scrub the air that has been drawn through the soil.
Councilman Mitchum elaborated on Ms. Cummings comment regarding
losing employees because of the paint company across the street.
The paint company existed when Miss Peggy's was granted a special
exception to have a school at that location. Miss Peggy's chose
to go to that location knowing the paint company already existed.
Ms. Cummings further commented that there never was a problem
until the subsequent expansion. Councilman Mitchum stated that
what they have to do as a Council is deal with everyone
concerned. If we would have known then what we know now, we may
not have put you there.
Benjamin DuBois, 135 Otter Drive, presented his credentials. He
spoke in favor of the Coronado Paint expansion.
Staff had no rebuttal.

Mr. Heebner stated the parking lot on Ocean is not going to
provide any access onto Ocean Avenue. The access is going to be
on Old County and it will also be fenced. The parking lot is not
designed to increase traffic it is simply to organize the parking
in a proper fashion. We have not been made knowledgeable of any
problems with paint fumes. Millions of dollars have been spent
on our site in cleaning it up from past housekeeping practices.
We are proud it is going to be resolved.
There was no additional rebuttal.
Mayor Hayman read Ord. 95-0-16 and then closed the public
hearing.
City Attorney storey explained the development agreement which is
proposed limits some of the uses and obviously the comprehensive
plan and the proposed zoning changes flow into that. If the
Council moves forward and takes the first action on the
development agreement tonight, the agreement provides that the
zoning and comprehensive plan changes would be contingent upon
development of that site pursuant to the development agreement.
Although the Council must take separate actions, these are all
pieces of the pie.
city Attorney storey explained final action on the development
agreement would have to take place at a later date due to it
requiring two public hearings.
Councilman Hays voted in opposition at last meeting. He thanked
staff for their help in getting some of these things cleaned up.
He feels comfortable with where they are going now.
Councilman Hays made a motion to approve Ord. 95-0-16, second by
Councilwoman Martin.
Councilman Hatfield shared Ms. Cummings and Ms. Miller's
concerns. If we didn't have some idea of what was going to be on
that property at this given time, he wouldn't be approving this
tonight. We are doing what we can to protect the rights of
everyone.
The motion CARRIED 5-0.
B. Public hearing Ord. 95-0-17 Zoning classification change -
Coronado Paint/Snider street
Mayor Hayman read Ord. 95-0-17 and opened the public hearing.
city Attorney Storey explained any comments from the staff,
applicant or the public will be incorporated into this public
hearing from the previous hearing.
since there were no additional comments, Mayor Hayman closed the
public hearing.
Councilman Hatfield made a motion to approve Ord. 95-0-17, second
by Councilwoman Martin.
City Attorney Storey asked if Councilman Hatfield's motion for
approval incorporates the staff recommendation by Mr. Karet in
reference to the seven criteria that were discussed. Councilman
Hatfield agreed to add that to the motion.
Councilwoman Martin seconded the addition to the motion.
The motion CARRIED 5-0.

....,
Mr. Karet made a staff presentation which included Items 5F & 5G.
He called attention to the map included in the packet which
identifies otter and Snider Streets. He explained why this
abandonment is somewhat different than previous requests. Mr.
Karet commented on the utilities in the roadway on both snider
and otter Streets. They feed fire hydrants. We would lose
access to them for purposes of fighting fires to the east of the
property. Mr. Karet commented on the large vehicles that use
Snider street and staff is concerned closing Snider Street will
cause relocation of traffic, most likely to West Palm Way, which
may not be able to handle the additional traffic due to the road
being shellrock. Mr. Karet further explained there is a family
that lives on otter Drive who had a child with a disability that
travels down otter to Old County and then down to the school.
Staff doesn't want to see the access that is currently used by
this child to be negatively effected. Mr. Karet stated the child
previously mentioned will be going to a different school next
year and the bus that will be provided will have difficulty
accessing that property if some provision is not made for a turn
around.
Joe Martin, Engineer, Coronado Paint, commented on blueprints
where the proposed new office building will be placed at the
intersection of Palm Way and Old County Road. He explained the
route the bus could take to accommodate the child. He spoke on
the issue of fire protection. Coronado is proposing to extend a
water line from the intersection of Old County and otter to the
intersection of Hart and otter and install a fire hydrant there.
In terms of access to the fire hydrant that is currently located
at Snider and Old County, Coronado is proposing to provide access
for the fire truck to make its connection at Snider and Old
County and lay hose east through the driveway that is part of the
proposed parking area which is presently Snider and provide a
gate access to support the vehicle over the retention area so
they could lay the hose east to Hart Avenue.
Fire Chief Vola stated Mr. Martin did exactly what was asked of
him in order to resolve this issue.
Barbara Hutchinson, 402 Hart Avenue, asked if that part of Snider
that is going to be abandoned becomes the ownership of two
private people, how does that fire truck get to the hydrant. Mr.
Karet explained an alternative could be that Council does not
have to abandon the property all the way down to Hart Avenue if
the Council does not wish to do so. Councilman Mitchum feels
that would be the solution to that.
Mr. Martin stated Coronado Paint would be satisfied with the
abandonment just to the extent of their property.
Ben DuBois, 135 Otter Drive, spoke in favor of closing otter
Street.
Councilman Hatfield commented on Mr. McCall's concerns regarding
people using his driveway to turn around because he is the last
house before the abandonment.
Councilman Mitchum commented on traffic moving to West Palm Way
and asked how much it would cost to pave that. City Engineer
Fegley explained it depends on the cross section and how you want
to stabilize that base material, but estimated it would cost at
least $10,000 to pave that road.
Councilman Mitchum questioned if Coronado Paint would be willing
to pave West Palm Way. Mr. Martin explained Coronado Paint would
discuss participating in the cost of that.

Councilman Hatfield stated what you don't see on the map is West
pine Bluff. Hart deadends into West pine Bluff and you can take
West pine Bluff which is paved down to Old County Road. He feels
the traffic will go the deadend and take West pine Bluff.
Councilman Hatfield when the Post Office does what they proposed
to do, their trucks will have no need to go down that way at all.
Their trucks are going to go right back out on to Ocean Avenue
and go out at the traffic light that they are supposed to be
helping us get at Ocean Avenue.
There was further discussion regarding the traffic and the routes
that could be used.
Councilman Hays commented that he feels Coronado Paint has a
significant benefit from this action and he thinks if the City is
giving up a paved road, they should get one in return.
Mr. Martin stated at this time there is no substantial evidence
to support the traffic count so therefore they have nothing with
which to base a development agreement and they would not be
interested in that at this time.
Councilman Hays asked if it would be fair to continue this part
of the discussion until everyone has a chance to look at the cost
at the January meeting. Mr. Heebner stated the problem with that
would be is that they are trying to start the engineering for the
project. If the roads aren't vacated, they can't do the project.
Councilman Mitchum doesn't feel it is improper to ask what he has
asked of Coronado Paint. He has no problem with continuing this.
He respectfully requested Coronado take a look at this.
Mr. Martin spoke about stormwater conveyance.
Mayor Hayman feels they need to look at the traffic impact on
Otter street. We have a serious stormwater management problem in
this area and they are attempting to help the city at their own
expense alleviate some of that as well. He also has no problem
with continuing this. He feels they need to define what needs to
happen between now and then so when they sit again we will be
able to have evidence with which to make a decision.
Councilman Hays suggested putting up barricades on a trial basis
and putting out traffic counters to see where the traffic is
going to go. Chief Schumaker doesn't feel they will get an
accurate reading at this time.
Councilman Hatfield feels they are putting the cart before the
horse in even talking about paving. The main concern in that
area is standing water and they need to make sure this water is
going to flow and they need to figure out where the water is
going to go. Councilman Hatfield stated there are some things
that need to be addressed. He doesn't feel he can take the
abandonment away from Coronado Paint just because they haven't
decided they will pave Palm Way.
Councilwoman Martin doesn't think they should abandon something
that in the end is going to cost the City money. This is
taxpayers money we are playing with.
Councilman Mitchum explained his reasons for wanting something in
return if they give something away.
Mr. Martin commented on future provisions for a stormwater
easement for the City to convey the public water through the
area.

Mr. Karet further commented on coming back to Council with the
impact of doing a traffic count.
city Attorney storey informed Mayor Hayman to take this as the
public hearing on Res. 95-R-26 and then open and close a hearing
for Res. 95-R-27.
Mayor HaYman closed the public hearing.
Councilman Hatfield made a motion to approve Res. 95-R-26, second
by Councilman Hays. City Attorney storey questioned if there are
some conditions for otter Drive. Mr. Karet stated if we could
just reference the improvements shown on the conceptual plan,
obviously subject to Site Plan approval, that would be acceptable
to staff. Councilman Hatfield amended his motion to include Mr.
Karet's comments, second by Councilman Hays. The motion CARRIED
5-0.
G. Public hearing Res. 95-R-27 Coronado Paint request to abandon
Snider street
Mayor HaYman opened the public hearing and stated that the
comments made in the previous hearing are incorporated into the
record for this hearing as well.
Mr. Heebner stated they do not find the City's request
unreasonable. He agreed to look at the figures once the traffic
study is done which would get them a feel for the impact on the
street. He fears it is going to take longer than two weeks to
have enough information for a decision to be made. They are
willing to do that and delay the engineering until this problem
is resolved because without Snider they have no project.
Mr. Karet explained they are going to try and drop that street
out of the traffic network and simulate what those impacts will
be in terms of where the traffic will be distributed. Mr. Karet
spoke about Snider street not being in very good condition.
People are going to go where it is convenient and close.
Ben DuBois, 135 otter Drive, doesn't want the road paved until
the drainage problem is fixed.
Barbara Hutchinson, 402 Hart Avenue, commented on the postal
trucks that go past her house that have doubled, possibly tripled
over the past year, and this being a problem.
Mayor HaYman closed the public hearing.
Councilman Mitchum made a motion to continue this to the January
8th meeting, second by Councilwoman Martin. The motion CARRIED
5-0.

Mr. Karet made a staff presentation regarding Items 5H and 51.
He explained the earlier pUblic hearings regarding Coronado are
appropriate to this application. He asked that those comments be
carried over for the record. Mr. Karet identified issues where
there are some differences. He explained the applicant has
consistently indicated to staff that there is no connection
between this request and Coronado Paint's request. Mr. Westfall
has indicated he currently has no plans for the conversion of his
home to industrial use. He wants to change the permissible use
of the property because he feels it has limited value as a
residence at this time. Mr. Karet informed Council that staff
determined that three of the four comprehensive plan land use
principles have been met and six of the seven standards have been
established for small scale amendments. Mr. Karet presented the
LDRA's recommendation for denial and the reasons for their
decision.
Councilman Mitchum spoke about arbitrarily changing the zoning
and having no control over the future use of that piece of
property. Is there a way to accomplish both items? He suggested
that anything that went in there should go under a development
agreement.
Councilwoman Martin asked if we have ever made a decision to
enhance monetarily a piece of property. Mr. Karet explained they
have rezoned property without requiring them to enter into a
development agreement.
City Attorney storey explained a development agreement is the
mechanism for limiting or revising potential uses that you would
otherwise have under a straight rezoning of a piece of property.
Councilman Hatfield stated anything that Mr. Westfall would want
to do with that property that was industrial would have to meet
the criteria of the industrial zoning. He wouldn't be able to do
anything without going to the LDRA. city Attorney storey
explained there is a long list of industrial uses that would not
require anything other than compliance with site plan.
Joe Martin, representative for Mr. Westfall, made a presentation
on behalf of Mr. Westfall. He informed Council that Mr. Westfall
is not eager to enter into a development agreement. But he would
accept a development agreement with the same language included in
the Coronado Paint Development Agreement.
Councilwoman Martin expressed a concern with other applicants
asking to do the same thing. She questioned how they could be
turned down if you allow one.
Mr. Martin believes anyone has the right to request a change in
zoning of their property. He is not sure it is an objective of
an elected body to establish a policy of trying to deny that. He
doesn't see how that relates to his request.
Mayor Hayman commented on the buffering that would be required
for industrial property. He stated the site plan showed distance
from the existing structure to the east property line and it was
so close you could not accommodate the necessary buffering per
the ordinances. Mr. Martin informed him that is correct if that
was zoned industrial. With the existing structure situated where
it is, you couldn't, on that side, meet the 25 foot buffer.
Mayor Hayman questioned if they look at the existing conditions
or look at the site as a parcel of land. Mr. Martin explained
why he feels Council should look at the property as though it is
vacant land.

.....,
Councilwoman Martin asked Mr. Martin why he would put in a
request like this without a site plan. Mr. Martin informed her a
site plan is not required under the laws of the state and of the
city's own laws and ordinances.
Larry Westfall, 143 Ocean Avenue, explained the reason for
wanting to change is pure economics. He has no plans to use the
property for anything other than residential nor does he plan to
sell it to anyone.
Councilman Hatfield asked Mr. Westfall if he would agree to the
same criteria as the development agreement given to Coronado.
Mr. Westfall stated he would consider that. What is fair for
them is fair for me. Councilman Hatfield suggested Mr. Westfall
look at the development agreement. He has no problem giving Mr.
Westfall a development agreement under the same criteria as
Coronado but he wants to make sure Mr. Westfall understands the
agreement. If he gives Coronado the right to change their
property, because of the way Mr. Westfall's property is
structured in connection with Coronado, he feels he has to grant
Mr. Westfall the same right under the law.
City Attorney storey explained the Coronado Paint Development
Agreement has a number of potential uses under the I-2 but they
may not use it for paint manufacturing, storage of chemicals, and
eighteen wheeler parking. Mr. Westfall would have a number of
other uses, just not those three.
Councilman Hatfield stated if this property were developed, the
structure that is on that property now would not meet I-1 zoning.
That structure would basically have to be removed from the
property or drastically restructured in order to meet I-1
standards.
Mr. Westfall commented on the petition of signatures that he
obtained from his neighbors. He is trying to stabilize the value
of his property.
City Attorney storey explained if Council is considering a
development agreement, there is no development agreement before
them officially and that requires a public hearing and notice.
If they want to think about a package deal similar to Coronado,
then there is a procedural issue before the Council can actually
officially consider that.
Councilman Hays stated you can't have a development agreement if
there are no future plans for development. He doesn't see any
reason to continue something like that. City Attorney storey
informed him you can impose additional restrictions in a
development agreement.
Councilman Mitchum doesn't know how you can have a development
agreement when there is no development.
Councilwoman Martin asked if there would be enough room to put
anything industrial in there with the twenty five foot buffer.
Mr. Karet stated it would be difficult to put anything large in
there. It would have to be relatively small.
Councilman Hays understands the concept of fairness. He
commented on Coronado Paint being an existing industry.
piece of property has nothing to do with that industry.
this is a different case and it needs to be looked at
differently.

Mayor Hayman feels they need to follow the principles for zoning.
He doesn't feel that just because they did something with
Coronado that they have to do the same thing for Mr. Westfall.

comprehensive plan amendment and the copies of
Westfall referred to.
Mayor Hayman asked Mr. Martin to deliver the petition to the
clerk which he did at this time. The petition stated the primary
use of said property will continue to be utilized as residential
and those were the conditions under which the people signed the
petition.
City Attorney storey explained comments regarding the
comprehensive plan and rezoning should be made at this time.
Mr. Martin feels the Coronado Paint agreement will stand alone
without any reference to a drawing. He doesn't see why the same
can't be accomplished with Mr. Westfall's request.
Councilman Mitchum asked if this could be approved subject to
approval of future use. Can the change be approved and if Mr.
Westfall at some point sold his property and somebody wanted to
put a logging operation there the Council has the right to say
no? City Attorney storey explained not without entering into
some type of development agreement. She sees no mechanism other
than a development agreement which limits the use. There was a
discussion regarding how there can be a development agreement
when there are no plans for future development. city Attorney
Storey explained development agreements are a legal mechanism for
limiting some of the uses.
Judith Lichter, 826 Navigators Way, spoke on behalf of the LDRA.
She feels there is a big difference between the Coronado Paint
agreement and what Mr. Westfall is requesting.
There was no rebuttal from staff.
Mr. Martin responded to some of Ms. Lichter's comments.
There was no rebuttal from the public and so Mayor Hayman closed
the public hearing.
Councilman Hatfield feels Mr. Westfall should be given every
right to the rezoning as Coronado Paint has been given.
Councilman Hatfield made a motion to continue 95-0-20 until Mr.
Westfall and staff could make up a development agreement, second
by Councilman Hays.
Councilman Hays questioned if 95-0-21 would carryover as well.
Mayor Hayman informed him that is correct.
The motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mr. Martin thanked staff and Council for their patience.
