Ordinance 82-0-21. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA
AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO CHANGE THE EXISTING I-I AND MH-l
ZONING OF A CERTAIN PARCEL OF PROPERTY BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY PARK
AVENUE, BOUNDED ON THE SOUTH BY THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE MUNICI-
PALITY, BOUNDED ON THE EAST BY MANGO TREE DRIVE, AND BOUNDED ON THE
WEST BY WILDWOOD SUBDIVISION, TO B-2; DIRECTING THAT THE OFFICIAL
ZONING MAP SHALL BE AMENDED; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT
HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mrs. Henderson commented on the confusion that has been caused by
this ordinance. The ordinance deals with property located within
Lot 37 of Assessor's Subdivision. The misunderstanding appears to
have resulted from the title which led people to believe that the
Council was planning to rezone all of Lot 37. However, the body of
the ordinance deals only with three pieces of property that are located
within Lot 37. These properties are owned by Mr. Bell, Mr. Porter and
Mr. Dunning. The Public Hearing should be related to these three
specific pieces of property because the ordinance is not attempting
to rezone any of the other property within Lot 37. The title of an
ordinance may be rather broad but the body of the ordinance must
relate to what the title of the ordinance refers to and the body of
Ord. 82-0-21 relates only to three pieces of property. To avoid
any more confusion, it is recommended that perhaps the title should
be amended to refer to the rezoning existing I-I and MH-l of certain
parcels of property located within Lot 37 which is bounded on the
east by Mango Tree etc.
Councilman Lodico motioned to TABLE this for more review.
Mrs. Henderson reminded the Council that the ordinance had been
advertised for a Public Hearing and the hearing should be held.
Mr. Chet Dunning informed the Council that he was the only property
owner who had paid the $100.00 fee for a rezoning request. So far
this application has taken over five months to be processed. He
added that if Mr. Bell or Mr. Porter wanted their property rezoned
they should apply and pay their fee. He requested that his property
be rezoned R-4 on its own merit or fail on its own merit and no one
else's property should be considered on his application. The question
has been raised about spot zoning but this area consists of five acres
and that would not appear to be spot zoning. A million dollar project
has been proposed for this property. Recently the Zoning Comm. turned
down his application after they had twice before approved the request.
If the Council does not wish to rezone just his property to R-4 then
he requested that the property be left I-I and MH-1 as it is presently
zoned.
The City Attorney explained the difference between an individual
applying for a rezoning and the City initiating a rezoning. By law,
the municipality can initiate a rezoning on its own. The Edgewater
code calls for a fee to be paid if an individual property owner requests
a ,\zoning.

Council Meeting 8/2/82

Mr. Bill Porter spoke to the Council concerning property he owned
that was part of the proposed rezoning. His intention in purchasing
the property was to develop it for industrial use. If the Council
rezoned his property, he would only have to corne back at a later
date to request to have the property changed again back to I-I. He
would like the Council to leave his property as it is presently
zoned I-I and MH-l except that possibly there is no particular use
for the MH-l and perhaps a change to all I-I would be more appropriate.
Mr. Bill Wagner, Atlantic Fiberglass,. ~old~€Quncil tbat~~here app~ared to
be a question as to whether or not his property was included in this
rezoning. If it had been rezoned to B-2 this would have made his
business non-conforming and he would not have been able to expand or
improve his business. If there is any possibility that his property
might be rezoned, he is against any change from the present I-I and
MH-l. He recommended that this ordinance be voted down and a new
ordinance be presented to Council concerning only those particular
properties requesting a change.
Mrs. Doris Massey spoke to the Council about the objection of the
Industrial Board regarding the changing of the I-I zoning. The City
needs more industrial area and since this area is closely situated to
property that is scheduled for development by the Florida East Coast
Railroad as a light industrial park, then this property on the other
side of Park Ave. should remain I-I as well. to conform with the zoning.
She added that she had understood the Zoning 'Comm. had originally
considered all of the property to Mango Tree to avoid spot zoning.
The Industrial board members have unanimously opposed any change in
this area. (Mrs. Massey is Chairman of the Industrial Board). The
Board recommends that Council deny the application and leave the zoning
as it is. The Board does not feel that residential or multi-family
housing is suitable to this area.
Mr. James Poland, also a member of the Industrial Board, spoke against
any change in zoning in this area. The City already has large residential
areas and we need more industrial areas to provide jobs for our people.
Mr. Mel Wargo agreed with the Industrial Board's recommendation.
Ib Mrs. Liz Griffith, a member of the Zoning Comm. ,noted that the Zoning
Board's most recent decision was to turn down the request for rezoning.
The first decisions were made on trying to maintain some kind of
conformity in the area. However, at the last Zoning Comm. meeting,
the matter was brought up again and it was voted to turn down the entire
request.
Mr. Frank Opal also agreed with the request to reject all rezoning in
this area. He also maintained that the rezoning of just one piece of
property regardless of the size was spot zoning. He reminded the
Council that they needed a 4/5th vote to turn down a recommendation of
the Zoning Comm. and the Zoning Comm. had recommended turning down the
rezoning request.
Mrs. Henderson asked if property owners had been duly notified in
writing of the recent Zoning Comm. meeting at which the rezoning of
these properties was discussed.
Mrs. Griffith replied that she did not believe they were notified.
Mr. Mitchell informed the Council that each property owner was notified
by telephone or in person that the Zoning Comm. would be discussing
the matter and most of them were present.
There was some discussion concerning whether or not property owners
should have been notified in writing of the Zoning Comm. meeting.
Mayor Christy read from explanatory data given to Council concerning
this public hearing. A poll of the property owners indicates that
Mr. Dunning still wants R-4 but failing that would wish to have all
I-I for his property. Mr. Porter wants I-I for his property and
Mr. Bell wants R-4.

Council Meeting 8/2/82
- 3 -
The Zoning Commission had voted to leave all property east of Mr.
Dunning to Mango as it is presently zoned and that Mr. Dunning's
application be denied.
Mrs. Henderson recommended to the Council that if the property
owners were not notified of the Zoning Commission's meeting, the
Council should request that the Zoning Commission should hold
another meeting between now and the next regular Council meeting
and notify the property owners, in writing, that the rezoning of
their property is coming up for discussion.
There was more discussion and some additional comments from members
of the audience.
2a
The Public Hearing was closed.
Mayor Christy recommended to Council that they reject Ord. 82-0-21.
Councilman Pendleton noted that this was a most confused issue. He
added that it was difficult to determine what the recommendation of
the Zoning Commission since they have sent more than one recommendation
to the Council, the most recent one being to deny the application.
Councilman Pendleton motioned to TABLE, seconded by Councilman Wilbur.
Mayor Christy asked how long this would be tabled.
Councilman Pendleton said that it should be tabled until a clear
report is given to Council clarifying this issue,and the recommendations.
Motion CARRIED 3-1. Mayor Christy voted NO.
Mrs. Henderson suggested that the Zoning Commission review this again
prior to the next Council meeting to avoid any possibility of any kind
of lawsuit from property owners. This could be done at a special
meeting and the property owners should be notified, in writing, prior
to that meeting. The Council needs a valid recommendation from the
Zoning Commission which they can either reject or approve.
The next Public Hearing concerned Ordinance 82-0-24A. AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTIONS 9.5-56, 9.5.-57 and
9.5-58 OF CHAPTER 9.5 OF THE EDGEWATER CODE OF ORDINANCES, TO PROVIDE
THAT SINGLE FAMILY AND DUPLEX RESIDENCES AND ACCESSORY USES NOT TO
EXCEED TWO ~(2) UNITS PER LOT SHALL NOT BE EXEMPT FROM THE FORMAL
PERMITTING PROCEDURES OF CHAPTER 9.5; BY PROVIDING THAT THE INTENDED
DESIGN OF DITCHES AND SWALES SHALL NOT BE IMPEDED IN AMY WAY; AND
PROVIDING THAT APPROVAL OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MUST BE
OBTAINED BY ANY PERSON PROPOSING TO ERECT A DRIVEWAY WHICH WOULD CROSS
A SWALE OR DITCH OR TO BUILD ANY STRUCTURE WHICH MIGHT IMPEDE THE
INTENDED FLOW OF WATER THROUGH SUCH SWALE OR DITCH; REPEALING ALL
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Wargo spoke to the Council in approval of the ordinance but
reminded the Council that the ordinance will not be any good unless
it is enforced.
Mr. Opal noted that driveways are still being put in without culverts.
He believes that we already have regulations about driveways but they
have never been enforced. Mr. Mitchell replied that there were two methods
putting in driveways: one is with a culvert, the other is by swaling them.
There were no further comments from the audience. The Public Hearing
was closed.
The City Attorney read the Ordinance again by title only.
Councilman Lodico motioned to adopt the ordinance, seconded by Councilman
Pendleton. Motion CARRIED 4-0.

2b The next Public Hearing concerned Ordinance 82-0-25. AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, AMENDING ARTICLE I, CHAPTER 2, OF
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, RELATING TO
ADMINISTRATION, BY ADDING THREE NEW SECTIONS TO PROVIDE THAT COUNCIL
MEMBERS SHALL DEAL WITH CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES WHO ARE SUBJECT
TO THE DIRECTION AND SUPERVISION OF THE CITY MANAGER THROUGH THE
CITY MANAGER; PROVIDING LIMITS UPON THE USE OF CITY GOVERNMENT
FACILITIES BY MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL; PROVIDING FOR THE SAFEKEEPING
OF RECORDS; PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES FOR THE VIOLATION OF THIS
ORDINANCE; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT
HEREWITH; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Walter Gross spoke against the adoption of this ordinance. He
reminded the Council they had been elected to represent the people
and they should not give up their responsibilities by giving the
City Manager unlimited power. He strongly recommended that the Council
reject this ordinance.
Mr. William Phinney also spoke in opposition to this ordinance. He
expressed his belief that the ordinance was politically motivated and
cited problems that somewhat similar ordinances had created in other
cities.
Mr. Frank Opal quoted from a newspaper letter-to-the-editor which
opposed~-this ordinance. He also questioned the copy of the ordinance
which did not show one Councilman's signature
The City Attorney noted that the Councilmen's signatures were not
necessary to validate the ordinance. This is a procedure that Edgewater
goes through but all that is necessary is the Mayor's signature which
is attested by the City Clerk and the Attorney's signatur~ approving
the legality and form. The vote is recorded on tapes and in the minutes.
Mr. James Seeley read the letter,mentioned previously by Mr. Opal, in
its entirety.
Mr. John Siburn said he would like to quote from a philosopher of
the 16th century who noted that a society of sheep will soon have a
government of wolves.
Mr. John Murphy questioned if there would still be elections.
Mayor Christy assured him that there would still be elections. The
Public Hearing was closed.
Mrs. Henderson read the Ordinance again by title only.
Councilman Pendleton noted that it was a sad state of affairs when
an ordinance like this is even thought of or is necessary. There is
a need for the clarification of the rights and privileges of Council
members when dealing with City officers and employees. He reminded
the Council of some of the problems that were encountered when the
City had the Co-Ordinator system and some Councilmen were literally
running departments even though they might not have been experienced.
Any properly managed organization needs someone in charge. He also
noted that there appeared to be too much free access to the vaults
and City records.
Councilman Pendleton motioned to TABLE the ordinance.
Councilman Lodico said he believed the City Manager should be able
to manage the City without any interference.
Motion to T~BLE died for a lack of a second.

Council Meeting 8/2/82

Councilman Wilbur remarked that the City needed better custody of
the records and someone should be on duty at all times when City
Hall is open.
Mayor Christy told the Council that he believed this ordinance was
proposed because of Res. 82-R-33 which was changed after he had
signed it. He did send this to the State Attorney's office. He
does not go into the safe without permission except when he wants
to tape something because he can get complete silence.
3a
Motion DID NOT CARRY 2-2. Councilman Pendleton and Mayor Christy
voted NO.
Councilman Pendleton added that this ordinance was thought out long
before the incident the Mayor mentioned.
The next Public Hearing was for Ordinance 82-0-26. AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A NEW OFFICIAL ZONING MAP
FOR THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO IDENTIFY
THE MAP AS THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP BY SIGNING HIS NAME THERETO;
DIRECTING THAT THE SEAL OF THE CITY BE PLACED UPON THE OFFICIAL ZONING
MAP; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH, AND PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. McCallister questioned what appeared to be a lack of input by
citizens on the preparation of the map. He added that he was not
aware of any workshops or hearings that had been held concerning
the adoption of the official zoning map.
Mrs. Blazi explained that the map consists of all zoning ordinances
passed in the past few years, all of which had public hearings, and
that the map was approved by the Zoning Board prior to sending it
to Council. The map has not been updated officially since 1978.
That was the last time it was signed by the Mayor.
Mayor Christy noted that the map had been updated to show certain
areas, subdivisions, streets, etc. The map was checked over by
people with knowledge of the city.
Mr. Mitchell explained that the City had not had a professional
draftsperson to redo the map but we do have such a person now and
with the guidance and approval of the zoning board the map has been
updated.
Mr. Opal questioned whether or not the map included the property
of Mr. Wright off 28th St. He does not consider this an official
map since there was no advertisement or notice.
Mr. James Seeley said he had been told that new properties could
not be admitted to the City without a referendum yet it appears
that Council has accepted this and he would like a clarification.
Mrs. Henderson explained that when properties are annexed voluntarily,
at the request of the owner, "a referendum for annexation is not required;
but if the City wishes to annex in property which would mean an
involuntary annexation then a referendum is required by State law.
There were no further comments from the audience. The Public Hearing
was closed. The City Attorney read Ordinance 82-0-26 again by title
only.
Councilman Wilbur motioned to adopt the ordinance, seconded by
Councilman Lodico. Motion CARRIED 3-1. Mayor Christy voted NO.
The City Attorney informed Council that they needed to fill in the
date when the last zoning map was signed. The date appeared to be
November 1978.

Council Meeting 8/2/82
- 6 -
Councilman Lodico requested a few minutes to clarify a statement that
was made by a member of the audience at the last Council meeting.
This person said that Mr. Lodico had had his driveway paved by the
City. This is completely untrue and a retraction and apology should
be made.
Mrs. Siburn spoke to the Council and said she had talked about paving
on Riverside Dr. on both sides of Mr. Lodico's driveway.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING - Approval of Minutes
Councilman Pendleton motioned to adopt the minutes of July 16, 1982,

Communication: City Attorney's report. Mrs. Henderson told the
Council that the subjects she would report on will come up later in
the agenda.
City Manager's/Department Head reports: Mr. Mitchell stated that his
report has been submitted in writing with the Department Head reports
and due to the late hour he will forego a summary at this time.
The City Clerk read a letter from Mr. Gillespie, Attorney at Law
concerning property deeded to the city by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fuller
requesting that the City quit-claim the land back to Mr. and Mrs.
Fuller.
Mr. Mitchell said that this was also concerned with the Noland Car
3b Co. request which is on the agenda under Old Business.
Mrs. Henderson explained that the deed attached to Mr. Gillespie's
letter is a deed to a completely different piece of property and
also it does not have a reversionary clause. She has not been able
to discuss this with Mr. Gillespie. The suggestion was made to
table this subject and the Noland Car Co. request until the next
meeting.
Councilman Wilbur motioned to TABLE this request for further information
and a report from the City Attorney for the next meeting, seconded by
Councilman Pendleton. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
The City Clerk read a letter from Mr. Dan Holahan re: garbage pickup
at 1311 Sabal Palm. The tenants have not received garbage service
due to back bill and this is still being charged with added penalties.
The bill dates back to a previous owner.
Mr. Mitchell reminded the Council that this subject is on the agenda
under Ordinances. The Council agreed to discuss it under Ordinances.
Letter from Buildi~~ Code Board regarding three recommendations for
Council consideration. It is recommended that the code be updated to
require all owner-builders to have a State Certified or State Registered
contractor in the fields of electrical, air conditioning, heating and
plumbing to review and sign off the work done by the owner builder.
It is also recommended to increase the re-inspection fees and to change
surface water retention controls.
Mr. Robert Howard, member of the Building Code Board, spoke to the
Council explaininq the recommendations of the Board. The board feels
that the owner-builder should have his work approved by a licensed
contractor in the interests of health, welfare and safety of the general
public and the owner-builder in particular, work involving electrical,

This would be 'appJ]ji:cable to single family and duplexes.
There was a lengthy Council discussion on this subject including
the additional cost to the owner-builder. All the work is presently
inspected by the Building Official who should not sign it off until
it meets the codes.
Councilman Wilbur motioned to update the code book to go along with
the recommendation of the Building Code Board not taking anything
away from our citizens because our Building Inspector is licensed
to do these inspections for the city.
There was a question on the clarification of the motion.
Councilman Wilbur said that we need to update our code book, we're
not denying the individual home owner the right to build his own home
but when he does it, he has to have it signed off that the codes
on the electrical, air conditioning, heating and plumbing have been
met.
It was pointed out that this requirement is already in the code book.
Councilman Wilbur said we should add to the motion or,.'someone who is
State Certified.
Councilman Lodico seconded the motion.
Councilman Pendleton motioned to TABLE for attorney's interpretation
and clarification after the attorney has been able to get together
with the Building Code Board, seconded by Councilman Wilbur. Motion

tion to raise the inspection fees, seconded by Councilman Lodico.

up the necessary ordinance to raise the inspection fees, seconded
by Councilman Wilbur. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
4a The City Clerk read a letter from Mrs. Esther Swasey requesting the
Council to vacate a portion of Guava St. that has never been developed.
Mrs. Swasey told the Council she would like to put an addition on
a duplex on her property. However, if the Council wished to extend
Guava as a street it would also be advantageous to her property.
Councilman Wilbur motioned to TABLE this for the attorney to research
and report back to Council, seconded by Councilman Pendleton. Motion
CARRIED 4-0.
A letter was read concerning a lawsuit being brought against the
City of Edgewater and the City of New Smyrna Beach regarding false

Mr. Garthwaite received permission to speak to the Council and he
questioned the section concerning automatic renewal or notification
thirty days prior to contract termination in which case the
severance provision will apply.
Mr. Mitchell explained that his present contract provides severance
pay and this simply means that you may discharge the City Manager
at any time but you have to pay the severance pay.
Mr. Garthwaite noted that this could be obligating future Councils
and the people. Mr. M~tchell was hired for a period of two years
and should work that out before future provisions are made.
Councilman Pendleton noted that if the Council gives thirty days
notice that at the end of his contract he is finished you don't pay
him anything.
Mrs. Henderson explained that if the Manager is notified thirty days
prior to the termination of the contract that the contract will not
be renewed, the severance provision will apply.

Mrs. Henderson explained that the ordinance could have a retrospective
effect. For those properties that are,prior to the adoption of this
ordinance, delinquent the City has the right to file a suit against
a property owner who was delinquent and obtain a judgement which
would act as a lien against the property. This ordinance provides a
procedure for the City to attach a lien without having to go through
the lengthy process of filing a suit. The fees are due and owed
to the City but the City does not at this time have a lien procedure.

Upon roll call motion CARRIED 4-0.
Mr. Mitchell advised the Council that Mr. Holahan's request is being
handled through the attorney. There is a cost effective situation
in this area and it does not always pay to turn it over to the attorney.
We have set an arbitrary limit which would be passed on but anything
beyond that would be referred to the attorney.
