Approval of the new Land Development Code.
Chairman Garthwaite opened the public hearing. Mr. Zeese asked that The Fire Department be allowed to
present their chapter (Chapter 16) first so they would not have to stay for the entire meeting. The Board
agreed. Chief Barlow explained that this chapter was added to the LDC to provide some consistency and
explained the contents of the chapter. Mr. Y oukon asked it there was language that addressed visibility of
house numbers. Chief Barlow stated that this issue would be address in an ordinance at a later date. There
was also discussion concerning "Fire Lanes" specifically in shopping centers. The Board requested that
language be added that 3 traffic lanes be established in new shopping centers so as to provide a fire land as
well as 2 lanes for normal traffic flow.

The Board went through each chapter and made suggestions (see attached #1).
Additionally, Chairman Garthwaite asked for comments from the public. Paul Jenkins, 2029 Willow Oak,
asked for a change in the definition of abandoned vehicle. He also raised several objections to the
language in the Code, specifically: Article III section 21.34.06, he feels the height limit on boats and
R. V. ' s is too restrictive, believes vehicles, (boats and R. V. ' s) should not be required to have current tags,
thinks there is a benefit to allowing resentments to park on side streets; Article III Section 31-35.04,
disagrees with the restriction of tents within the required setback area; and Article III Section 21-35.05,
disagrees with the 24 foot limitation on height for vehicles.
Jay Michael McKay, 1717 Riverside Drive, asked that Article III Section 21.34.1l(c) allow for the
installation of an 11 Ov outlet for use of a fan in storage units. Chief Barlow explained that this would be a
fire hazard as these units are typically left unattended.
Jim Bankston, 504 Range St., Orlando Florida, asked the Board to consider amending Article III
2l.34.1O(d) that requires 1 public restroom per each 50 units in a mini-warehouse facility. He related
information concerning several such facilities he had developed and suggested that the requirement should
be 2 restrooms per facility. The Board discussed this and asked Ms. Plaskett to look into this issue further.
Dan Loeffler, 598 Eaton Drive, spoke against the restrictions on canopies in Article III Section 21.35.04.
He stated he had designed his own canopy which was quite durable as well as attractive. He asked the
Board to reconsider this section.
Ms. Plaskett explained the new Zoning Map and discussed the zoning changes (see attachment #2).
Being no further discussion, Chairman Garthwaite closed the public hearing. Mr. V opelak made a motion
