have been planned for between now and next year's bikeathon. He presented a
certificate of appreciation to Chief Schumaker for the assistance from the Police
Department for each of their bikeathons. Mr. Perkins then presented a gold medal

Councilman Asting turned the medal and certificate over to City Clerk Martinez
for framing and to be put with other awards.
Bob Garthwaite, Silver Ridge, asked to speak on the rezoning later on the agenda.
Mayor Baugh suggested they wait for the City Attorney's opinion as the City Attorney
was away from his seat at that time. Mr. Garthwaite said he thinks everyone should
be allowed to speak that wants to because it's very important. Mayor Baugh pointed
out there were public hearings before Planning and Zoning and before Council on
this matter. Mr. Garthwaite asked if there could be an exception made and Councilman
Asting agreed it could be an exception. Mayor Baugh pointed out there may be a
problem due to litigation going on, and he'd like to ask the City Attorney about
it because he doesn't want to jeopardize it. Mr. Garthwaite asked if he can speak
later if the City Attorney says it's okay and Mayor Baugh replied yes.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) -
Industrial Development Board - Proposal by Dave Richmond, Volusia County
Business Development Corp. re: membership - City Clerk Martinez read the
April 10th memo from Florence Baker, Chairman of the Industrial Development
Board, advising that Mr. Richmond had been invited by their Board to speak
at this Council meeting. Mrs. Baker asked if the order of their Board's
items on the agenda could be reversed but Mayor Baugh decided to leave it
as listed. Mrs. Baker then introduced Mr. David Richmond, Executive Director
of the Volusia County Business Development Corporation.
Mayor Baugh stated that he'd met Mr. Richmond on several occasions and he
was very instrumental with getting Boston Whaler into our area.
Mr. Richmond distributed copies of a booklet that explained their services
and a summary of their objectives. He reviewed the salaries in the area,
noting that the 12 cities and Volusia County had joined together for this
venture. He stated they're certified by I.R.S. as a non-profit organization
and were founded in 1985. He reviewed the Boston Whaler organization and
its plans. He said they use the County Data Profile to attract industry.
He asked that Council become a member of the Corporation as the other 12 cities
in Volusia County have done. He said based on a formula of 50~ per capita,
which is equitable for all cities, Edgewater's share would be $4,998 based
on the 1985 population of 9,996. He pointed out they've received $500 from
Council so the balance for 1987 would be $4,498 due. Mayor Baugh stated that
there's no way to get it before budget time and nothing is allocated. He
added that he felt they should contribute something was why they gave the $500.
Mr. Richmond stated that they use a calendar year and if Council would take this
up in October at the fiscal year, the dues paid then would be for the 1987 year.
Mayor Baugh said he can't speak for the rest of the Council, but that would be
his opinion. Councilman Asting moved that the request be included in their
budget folder for the new fiscal year and to be considered at that time.
Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mayor Baugh stated it will be in the discussions for the next budget and he
feels very comfortable with the organization. Councilman Asting advised they
have no money in the present budget. Mr. Richmond said he understands that
but subsequent to October 1 will give the City full membership for this year.
Mrs. Baker thanked the Mayor and Council for their consideration. She noted
the Industrial Development Board needs a contact person and this will give
them a professional. She added they have a European representative also.
Industrial Development Board - request to have joint workshop between Council
and Board re: future goals and objectives - Mrs. Baker stated they'd like to
schedule a workshop with Council and Council might think of goals and objectives
they might wish the Industrial Board to reach. She added they'd like suggestions
of what Council would like them to do. She noted they've had problems getting
a vote on some of their issues and are asking Council to consider appointing two
members. She said the final request is they want all three cities together
for Industrial Fair Week and they're asking for an additional $400 by September
when they have the Fair. She noted that New Smyrna Beach and Oak Hill are eager
to join with Edgewater and they need additional money and will return what isn't
needed. Mayor Baugh asked Mr. Richmond if he'll work with them and Mr. Richmond
replied yes.
Industrial Development Board - request for $1,000 budget for 1988 - Councilman
Asting moved to grant the request. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion.
Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Industrial Development Board - request to have joint workshop between Council
and Board re: future goals and objectives - Mayor Baugh suggested they check
the calendar and get with the Chairman the first week of May to set up a time.
Mrs. Baker agreed that was acceptable.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) -
Industrial Development Board - request that Council appoint two members -
City Clerk Martinez read her April 15th memo regarding the two applications
received previously from Leila Wilsey and Sam Comerate. Mayor Baugh said he
knows them. Councilman Asting suggested this be tabled until the Industrial
Development Board looks into the backgrounds and he moved to TABLE this until
the next meeting. Mayor Baugh noted the Board had these applications for some
time. Caryl Middleton, Industrial Development Board member, said the letters
came last year and they had about 5 people to choose from and members chose over
those two candidates, but it doesn't mean they don't want to choose them.
Councilman Asting asked if these two people are acceptable to the Board and
Mrs. Middleton said she wouldn't say. Councilman Rotundo asked if she wants
the applications back and Mrs. Middleton replied yes, and they'd like
recommendations from Council also. Councilman Mitchum seconded the motion to
table. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Board of Adjustment's re: resignation of Richard Moran - City Clerk Martinez
noted that Council needs to accept this. Mayor Baugh suggested a motion to
accept it and write to the gentleman to thank him for his time he put on the
Board. Councilman Asting so moved. Councilman Prater seconded the motion.
Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Councilman Prater requested a 5-minute recess, and with no objections heard from
other Council members, Mayor Baugh recessed the meeting at 7: 40 P. M.
Mayor Baugh called the meeting back to order at 7:50 P.M.
Mayor Baugh stated there was a request that item 6.C. on the agenda for the
Rotary's request be heard at this time. There were no objections from Council.
COMMUNICATIONS
Request for Rotary's Spring Carnival on April 28 - May 3 at Florida Shores Shopping
Plaza - City Clerk Martinez pointed out there were two letters, one from Chester
Boyce and one from Donnie Williams, and one had a date of April 27 and the other
had a date of April 28th. Mr. Boyce stated it's April 28th through May 3rd.
Councilman Asting moved to grant the request. Councilman Prater seconded the
motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) -
Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation to rezone Caldwell property to R-2
with maximum of 133 units (Tabled July 21, 1986) - Mayor Baugh suggested this be
removed from the table. Councilman Prater moved to take it off the table at
this time. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
City Attorney Alvarez said this matter has been litigated in Federal District
Court and is now in a legal recess so he's very limited, and the Council should
recognize the matters they discuss or statements made can be very detrimental
to the City. He reviewed the background, Caldwell filing suit against the City
and the granting of the City's summary judgement and Caldwell's attorneys agreeing
that instead of continuing the litigation and entering into appeals, they'll
reconsider their original PUD density of 347 units for the project and accept
a lesser density. He said the matter will then be presented to the judge for
the entry of an order. He stated that June 4th last year the Planning and Zoning
Board held a public hearing on this matter which was continued to June 18th
and the records of those two hearings show that through Mr. Garthwaite some
demands were presented to the board, with 6 points specifically. City Clerk
Martinez read the 6 points, which were listed in the June 26, 1986, memo to the
Mayor and City Council from the Planning and Zoning Board. There was a seventh
point which stipulated it could be all of the above or any additional conditions
to be part of the deed restrictions and to remain applicable to the land regard-
less of ownership. City Attorney Alvarez said that Attorney Allen Watts, who
represented Caldwell at the continued hearing of June 18, as well as the one
before Council on July 21st, agreed on these points, with the exception of the
number of units. Attorney Watts stated that's his recollection of what was
agreed to.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) -
Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation to rezone Caldwell property to
R-2 with maximum of 133 units (Tabled July 21, 1986) (Continued) -
City Attorney Alvarez again said the remaining issue was the number of units
the City could live with in terms of impact, traffic, etc., and Council tabled
this matter pending information from the departments. He added that he doesn't
wish to discuss that information in detail, and he asked the Council, residents
and representatives to address the number of units only. He pointed out the
last figure submitted by Caldwell was 225 per the letter from their attorney
dated March 31, 1987, and the last figure the City considered was the recommen-
dation from Planning and Zoning of 133 units, but the previously mentioned figure
by the residents set a range from 133 to 159 units. He noted that the City has
undergone a series of changes in other sections, specifically in the water and
sewer area, and he requested that not be discussed at this time.
Mayor Baugh said all the other questions were settled except the number of
units and City Attorney Alvarez noted there were lengthy hearings.
Attorney Allen Watts, with the firm of Cobb and Cole in Daytona Beach, reviewed
the past records of his client, starting with the original submittal in 1972.
He said the application for rezoning to RR-PUD was recommended for approval by
the Planning and Zoning Board and approved by City Council at a public hearing
held July 25, 1972. He said under the zoning ordinance in effect at that time,
PUD had to be built or zoning renewed every 6 months and in 1975 the Attorney
General said you can't have temporary rezonings so the City Manager wrote a
letter to Mr. Caldwell indicating the zoning was to be considered permanent.
He added that Mr. Caldwell bought out the interest of his partners in that
development, and then in 1978 or 1979 a predecessor on Council decided that
PUD would be the same as HUD, and there was a hearing that revoked the Caldwell
zoning.
Attorney Watts said that Mr. Caldwell applied for R-4 zoning in 1981 and that
application was never heard by the Planning Board for some years as each time
it carne up, there wasn't a quorum to hear the case. He said that before the
Statute ran out, he filed suit in Orlando in Federal District Court.
Attorney Watts advised Council they took oaths of office to serve as Councilmen
and to support, defend, and uphold the Constitutions of the United States and
the State of Florida. He said to determine if the case is going to be settled
or what the potential liability is if it's not settled, he wants them to under-
stand what the Constitution says in relation to property rights. City Attorney
Alvarez pointed out that they're here for a limited purpose. Attorney Watts
said he appreciates that, but it's important that they know what he's about to
tell them because if effects their personal liability over and above the liability
the City may have. City Attorney Alvarez stated this was discussed very thoroughly
and at this time the issue before Council is a limited one. He said if they wish to
engage in a risk decided by Attorney Watts of legal principle applicable to the
case, he doesn't think this is the time or place to do it. He added that he'd
like to hear from Robert Garthwaite, who's been the spokesperson, before they
get into the legal aspect. Attorney Watts stated that he wants the record to be
clear on this and he and City Attorney Alvarez discussed it earlier, but he
wants to say what the Constitution allows in this case and he thinks when they
know what the law is, they'll be required to follow it and nobody will be able
to claim ignorance. He added that if they want to claim ignorance, he'll shut up.
City Attorney Alvarez again suggested they hear from the property owners. Mayor
Baugh agreed. Attorney Watts said his view of the law isn't final but they need
to know what their responsibility is because he doesn't want to see the taxpayers
levied on paying judgement in favor of Caldwell.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) -
Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation to rezone Caldwell property to
R-2 with maximum of 133 units (Tabled July 21, 1986) (Continued) -
Mr. Garthwaite stated that he thought the six points were withdrawn. He said
the problem Silver Ridge has is the amount of dwelling units. He reviewed the
prior discussions regarding apartments with 750 or 600 square feet. He added
that a mixture of people are in Silver Ridge, some retired and some young couples,
and they don't want to see apartments, and possibly rental apartments, go in
there. He suggested they could zone it with special conditions and Council
should take time and work with the staff to see what they can come up with
that will be best for Caldwell and the people in Edgewater, especially Silver
Ridge. He pointed out that Mr. Caldwell won't lose much money with lower
zoning because of the cost of land in 1972 compared to 1987. He asked that
Council be very careful in rezoning, and noted that he'd favor single family.
He read an excerpt of the RR-PUD definitions from the Code and then from R-4
permitted uses. He added that if he's given R-4 with some modifications,
he's lost nothing. He said the recommendation was made for 133 units and
that's the highest they want to go. There was discussion between City Attorney
Alvarez and Mr. Garthwaite regarding the 133 to 159 units. City Attorney
Alvarez noted that the City is talking about 160 and Caldwell is talking about
225, and they're looking at the cost and risk of further litigation, and since
there's been agreement on six points, they aren't that far apart.
Mr. Garthwaite noted there's a general feeling of mistrust, no matter who the
developer is, and 750 feet is too small and won't sell that fast. He added
that rentals will be trouble. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out the important
issue is the minimum size, and staff has been working on this for some time.
Mr. Garthwaite asked if staff, Council, and people involved could meet and work
up a compromise on number of units and size of units. City Attorney Alvarez noted
that if they compromise on the number of units, then the only issue is the
minimum size. Attorney Watts said he won't tell his client to go to the expense
of drawing a plan, etc., until he knows he's dealing in good faith, but if
they can reach a number they can live with, he'll come back with a plan. He
agreed it could be improved in the size of the units. City Attorney Alvarez
said if the number is acceptable, they're looking at design and quality of the
project. Mr. Garthwaite pointed out that Shangri-La is a good project, but some
are cracker boxes, and he asked if the City's staff called on the Building Board
about costs for 750 to 850 or 900 square feet. City Attorney Alvarez replied
there has to be a figure to work from first, because of the range. Attorney
Watts agreed that an engineer should layout a new plan. He noted there's a
special cap imposed by a federal judge and they'll come back with a site plan to
comply with R-4. He said they started with 347 in 1972 and were given that,
and it may not be practical for the way the community has grown since, but
he has to be able to come up with a reasonable rate of return on his investment.
He added if they agree on a number, they have to draw up a site plan to satisfy
them, but they have to agree on the number or go back to court on an amendment.
Mr. Garthwaite said they shouldn't tie themselves down with R-4 or R-2 and if
they want to increase the number of units they can be imaginative.
Mayor Baugh suggested they go with 200 with all the combined units they've
agreed on and let them come back with a site plan for 200 units that would be
residential single family backing up to residential single family, which would
be a compromise on both sides. Mr. Garthwaite stated that he knows the project
will be developed, but he wants it developed in the best possible manner.
Larry Perkins, 3 Silver Circle, reviewed the previous figures he'd heard from
100 to 220. He said if a poll were taken, they'd say no more than 120, and
they should have done that project years ago when it was rezoned. He spoke
briefly on the maintenance of a rental unit.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) -
Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation to rezone Caldwell property to
R-2 with maximum of 133 units (Tabled July 21, 1986) (Continued) -
Jim Mackie, member of the Planning and Zoning Board, said Planning and Zoning
made a decision and Council didn't make a decision. He said Attorney Woods
was the attorney when it was rezoned in August of 1972. He noted that it was
designed with a buffer zone but the man has never presented a plan and has
had six extensions. He noted it was B-3 in the front. He suggested Council
meet with Planning and Zoning to see what they can squeeze out of the property.
He reviewed dimensions in R-2, and said they can't go with another figure
because the man threatens them in court. He suggested they get together and
tell them what we'll give them and tell them to take it to court.
Steve Siciliano, Lee Drive, suggested Council take into consideration the
investments Silver Ridge residents have in their property when making their
decisions.
Attorney Watts stated that he's not threatening them but he wants to review the
Constitution that they allow the owners of the property to use that property
for any lawful purpose unless it affects the public good. He noted that he
doesn't have authority from Mr. Caldwell to approve the 200 but he'll try to
get it, and if they can't come to an agreement on that number, they're back in
court on an amended complaint and they'll add to it that the Council has not
acted on a rezoning application that has been pending since 1982. He added that
Council had proposed to reject the application on inadequacy of water and sewer
and they have annexed the Radnor property and welcomed Boston Whaler to the
community after telling the Federal court they don't have water and sewer and
road capacity. He noted they'll have to explain to a Federal jury why they
made decisions on those other properties and told Caldwell no. He said that
he'll try to get it through at 200 units, and Caldwell may sell the property,
but they would be bound to the decision. He added that he thinks they can
come up with a plan that won't be a problem to Silver Ridge.
Councilman Asting noted there's been a lot of impact on the utilities system.
City Attorney Alvarez advised that Council not comment on impacts at this time
and Councilman Asting accepted his advice.
Councilman Mitchum so moved on the Mayor's recommendation that it be limited
to 200 units as per clarification from the City Attorney on the official way
it can be done. City Attorney Alvarez suggested he add a new set of plans to
be drawn and it would be subject to new site plans and size of units, etc., and
the conditions read into the records. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion.
Motion CARRIED 3-1. Councilman Asting voted NO. Mayor Baugh abstained from
voting based on ,the advice of the City Attorney regarding his residing in Silver
Ridge.
Mayor Baugh asked Attorney Watts to take it back to his client and Attorney
Watts agreed he would. Mayor Baugh then asked Mr. Garthwaite if he'll work
with Attorney Watts as a representative of Silver Ridge and Mr. Garthwaite
replied he'd like others involved also.
COMMUNICATIONS
Attorney C. Allen Watts re: Shangri-La Subdivision - Attorney Watts said he
wrote December 18th of last year regarding R. A. Coleman and they believe
Shangri-La Subdivision has been completed for quite some time and improvements
should be accepted but there's some reluctance due to an alleged drainage
problem.
Attorney Watts said they met with City Attorney Alvarez and the City Engineer
and the opinion was that drainage accumulated in Shangri-La for two reasons,
due to design for holding drainage from Shangri-La,but not from other develop-
ments that came later, and from weeds and small culverts in the ditches.
He said they asked in several subsequent letters to accept the improvements
and Mr. Coleman is still paying the electric bill on the lift station. He
asked that they tell them in what respect they're in violation of the subdivision
regulations or in what respect they didn't complete the subdivision according
to the plan.

COMMUNICATIONS (Continued) -
Attorney C. Allen Watts re: Shangri-La Subdivision (Continued) -
Attorney Watts said if the plans are okay and he's in compliance, he'd like
the City to take the electric bill on the lift station. He noted that he'd
asked that the City Engineer be here for this meeting.
City Clerk Martinez stated that staff is preparing a report and she submitted
it to City Attorney Alvarez. She noted it has to be reviewed by the City
Engineer and the City Attorney. City Attorney Alvarez noted that Mrs. Plaskett
is putting together a report from Mr. Ferrara, Briley Wild, and the City Clerk/
Administrator said this is a chronological series of events. City Attorney
Alvarez said the question is whether or not the flooding problems in the sub-
division are caused by improper design inside the subdivision or outside the
subdivision or what percentage can be attributed to the subdivision, and they
don't have a final answer. Attorney Watts stated that the design was approved
by the City Engineer and the question is whether they built it to design. He
added that they designed it, submitted the design to the City Engineer and he
said it will work and they built it. He again asked if there is something
in the regulations they didn't do because he's been working on this since last
December. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out that the engineers who approved
it are long gone. Attorney Watts said they want to turn over the roads and
electric bills for the lift station.
Mayor Baugh asked when the report will be available and City Clerk Martinez
replied that the City Attorney needs to review it. City Attorney Alvarez noted
that it might be moot after next Monday when Council considers a capital improve-
ment program for the City,which includes drainage and some of the area around
Shangri-La was identified as a problem.
William Ihrig, 408 Village Court, stated he's at the end where all the water is
and he understands it was built two feet too low. He said the Association gave
them a letter and the retention poind needs to be dredged because it's not deep
enough. He added that he's been calling Mr. Coleman about the grass needing
cut and children are playing around the pond and there are no signs up. He said
there's a 6" pipe through his yard to the street and it's not working. He added
that he's called Mr. Coleman but he won't stop by to look at it. He said he
doesn't want the City to accept the subdivision until the Association meets and
okays it. Mayor Baugh suggested he tell the Association about the meeting on
Monday.
~City Attorney Alvarez suggested they get some papers for the Association about
~ maintaining the commons area, and it was agreed they'd discuss it.
Mr. Ihrig again said the pond isn't deep enough for the water to go into it.
City Attorney Alvarez noted that's an engineering matter.
Attorney Watts said they just want to be told what they should do and he asked
if it will be May 4th if it's not resolved on Monday night. Mayor Baugh replied yes.
Volusia County Land Acquisition Selection Committee's request for suggestions
and comments, and designation of delegate as liaison between County and City -
Mayor Baugh suggested David Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director, be the person
that's the liaison between the County and the City. Councilman Asting so moved.
