He stated that this is more or less a warning to the Chairwoman that he intends to voice his opinion and object to this type of order in the future. At this time the board discussed the letter and the Zoning Ordinance. Mrs. Woodard read a thank you note from Mr. and Mrs. Borgerson. Mr. Denton also stated that in the last hearing there was some confusion in regard to non-conforming lots and that this is very unclear in the Ordinance. He showed the board a clipping from the paper where New Smyrna Beach is trying to get the same section amended. There was some discussion about this. There was some discussion as to whether the Council is going to have the final authority in regard to variances or whether the board will have. Mr. Denton made a motion to write a letter to Mr. Weaver requesting a clarification on the non-conforming lots, being seconded by Mrs. Nichols. Said motion CARRIED. At this time Mrs. Murphy entered th~beeting. The board discussed the variances which were granted at the Public Hearing and there was more discussion about whether the new zoning was published correctly. Mrs. Murphy stated that she can take correction as well as the next one, but she stated that she wanted it on record that the last thing she asked Mr. Weaver at the Public Hearing was didn1t these people still have to go to the Council before they could get their building permits, and he said No to her. There was discussion about the confusion on this and the board needs clarification. \ \\ .. ~ ,... '!" . (.J . u At this time Mr. Fenske entered the meeting. There was more discussion about the variances which were granted at thJPublic Hearing, and about the confusion which followed the next Jay in regard to getting the building permits. Mrs. Murphy questioned what was goigg to be done about the four- teen houses or whatever are going to be built? At this time Mrs. Woodard read the Notice of Public Hearing and the board began discussion the two items. CASE IIAII - John A. Griffith d/b/a Rapid Homes requests a variance on Lot 145, Map 19, Book 167, Edgewater Acres Resub., Unit 4 for the purpose of constructing a new home. There was no letter with the application for a variance therefore the board members did not understand exactly what he wants a variance for. There was much discussion on this, and it was decided that Mrs. Woodard would talk with this man and find out what his plans are. The board expressed that they need a copy of an old Zoning Map. CASE IIBII - James G. Cartee d/b/a Government Builders requests a variance on Lots 20,30,32,34,36,48 and 50 in Pointer Sub No.1 as recorded in MB 19, page 200, Public Records of Volusia County, Flori da for the purpose of constructi ng . new homes Mrs. Woodard stated that she has spoken with this man and he told her that these homes are not like the 235 homes. They want a variance of 5 feet setback on sides only, for each of the lots they want to build on. The present zoning requires 10 feet. Mrs. Woodard stated that she suggests that the members go and check these out, because this is set for Public Hearing March 3rd. Mrs. Nichols stated that the Government Builders are affiliated with the Farm Program or the 235 houses, however this should have nothing to do with the decision as to whether they get the variance or not. There w~ more discussion about where these lots are and what they arjpresently zoned. Mrs. Woodard stated that thebayor informed her that the appli- cation fees for the varianc~s will no longer be returned. There was much confusion as to whether Mr. Cartee owns all the lots on the block. There was discussion about the size of the lots and the size of the houses which are going to be built. Mr. Denton explained the blueprints to the board members. The question came up as to whether this man gought this property before or after the new zoning. Mrs. Woodard stated that she invited Mr. Cartee to come to this workshop meeting, and he has not shown up. She als~ stated that each member of the board should take a look at this area. This meeting adjourned at 10:30.
