COMMUNICATIONS
The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from Briley, Wild to the State
Dept. of Administration requesting a one year extension of the
L.G.C.P.A. adoption deadline. This was for Council information.
The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from H. G. Brown, Brown's Air
Conditioning concerning the variance he had received for a used car
lot. Mr. Brown stated that he believed he should be able to put
the building for his used car lot on the lot line according to the
building code. He requested that the Council remove the building
location required in the variance and allow him to put the building
on the lot line. He added that he failed to understand that the
Board of Adjustments was requiring that he put his building in
another place, as part of the granting of the variance.
The City Attorney said that if Mr.
aggrieved he has to go back to the
trying to preempt their function.

If he is aggrieved by the decision

u
o
Councilman Ledbetter said that Mr. Brown has appeared before all the
various Boards for the past three months.
City Attorney Woods said that this was discuss before the Board and
before the Council. The variance was granted with conditions imposed.
If we are going to have to revise it, the Council should send it
back to the Board of Adjustments.
Councilman Ledbetter said that he was at the meeting of the Board
of Adjustments when they discussed Mr. Brown's variance. It was
his understanding that the Board was going to request he put the
building where they wanted it regardless of whether he owned forty
acres. Mr. Brown asked-for 'a temporary building. It doesn't seem
that it should make any difference with the driveway that exists
there if it was next to it or twenty feet from it. This has been
going on for about four months and the man is no nearer getting his
business in than he was the day he started.
Mr. Woods said that the Buildina Official has made a determination
that he did not comply with theVSpecial Exception. That is the
decision of the Building Official. If Mr. Brown is aggrieved by
that decision then he will have to go back to the Board of Adjustments.
This is the administrative step that you have to follow.
Mayor Christy said that the resolution the Council signed included
the conditions set by the Board of Adjustments. Mayor Christy
read the resolution granting Mr. Brown the Special Exception for a
used car lot. The first condition was that the building be put
twenty feet from the property boundary line.
Mr. Brown said that it appeared as if the Board of Adjustments was
making decisions for zoning.
Mr. Woods said that you have procedures that must be followed. If
you don't follow procedures we don't need a Building Enforcement
Official or a Board of Adjustments or Zoning Board.
Mr. Brown said that the Building Code says that he can put the
building anywhere he wants as long as he stays within the boundary.
Councilman Sikes said that Mr. Brown went before the Board of
Adjustments for a Special Exception for a used car lot not for a
building.
Mr. Woods said that they granted him the Special Exception with the
conditions imposed.
Mr. Brown said that his building is not illegal according to the
zoning, it is illegal according to the exception.
Councilman Sikes said that if Mr. Brown was putting in a business
that was a permitted use would this building be legal?
Mr. Woods said that he did not know. He was granted a special
exception with conditions imposed. If the Council wants to revoke
it they can do so against the Board of Adjustments and the Building
Official.
Mr. Brown asked if it was illegal for the Council now to give him
the building permit to put the building where he wants it.
Mr. Woods said that he was not present at the Board of Adjustments
meeting when they set these conditions. Mr. Brown was and he must
have agreed at that time or he would have voiced objections before
the conditions were imposed. Mr. Woods added that he believed it
would be illegal for the Council to act on Mr. Brown's request now.
It is not according to the procedure.
Mr. Brown asked who was going to make the interpretation whether
this building was legal or not.
Mr. Woods said that would be up to the Board of Adjustments.
Councilman Ledbetter asked when Mr. Brown's building permit was issued?
- 2
~
u
Mr. Brown said it was issued at least six weeks ago. If he goes
back to the Board of Adjustments, they will ask for the same
conditions. Somebody should interpret the building code.
Mr. Woods said that at that time he can ask for a legal interpretation.
Mayor Christy asked Mr. Woods if he thought it would be a good idea
to contact the Chairman of the Board of Adjustments to find out
if the Board would want the Attorney present when they discuss
Mr. Brown's appeal?
Mayor Christy said he would like to recommend that the Council
send this back to the Board of Adjustments and have the Attorney
present so that they could get a legal opinion on this and get an
answer once and for all.
Mr. Glaser said that the Board of Adjustments will meet on Wednesday,
March 28th but that they had a very full agenda for that meeting.
Mayor Christy said that he would contact Mr. Millard and request
that this be put on the agenda for Wednesday night.with the Attorney
attending that meeting to clarify this 880 ordinance.
Councilman Sikes asked why they were requiring that it be 20 ft.
from the lot line?
Mr. Woods said that in the event Mr. Brown sold that separate lot
it would be non-conforming.
Councilman Sikes said that it says except buildings under single
ownership. Why can1t he build a continuous line of buildings?
Mr. Woods said that he had asked for the variance on one particular
lot.
Mayor Christy said that according to the resolutiOn it states
Lot 2.
Mr. Glaser, Board of Adjustments member, requested that they read
the portion of the zoning law concerning side setbacks in that
particular zone. It does not say common ownership of lots, it
refers to common ownership of buildings and a common wall between
the buildings. There is no common wall between these buildings.
During the course of the hearing that Councilman Ledbetter did not
attend, the statement was made that the property, building, business,
etc. might be sold sometime in the future so that you could create
a circumstance where you might have a non-conforming building.
Just because other people have done this does not make it right.
The purpose of the 880 Ordinance was to try from here on out to
make things better.
Councilman Ledbetter asked how many businesses in Edgewater today
conform under 880?
Mr. Glaser said probably none of them.
Councilman Ledbetter said that along U.S. 1 none of them conform
under the land use plan except two or three that were spot zoned
or had variances. The amendments to 880 are thicker than the
original ordinance.
Councilman Rotundo made a motion to send this back to the Board of
Adjustments with the Attorney attending the meeting. Councilman
Ledbetter seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0.
The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from the Chairman of the
Merit Board requesting a written opinion from the City Attorney
clarifying the Merit Ordinance.
Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council table this for
discussion at the March 27th Workshop. Councilman Rotundo seconded
the motion.

has been a member of the Merit Board since November. He has
attended six regular meetings, two special meetings, also a
workshop with the City Attorney and a workshop with the City
Clerk. We have gone over our ordinance and tried to understand
what our duties were.
Mayor Christy reminded Mr. Gross that the motion was to table
the request until the Workshop. "He should only talk about
the motion to table or he is out of order.
Mr. Gross said he had a statement to make regarding the tabling
of the motion. The Council will discuss this tomorrow night
and he won't be able to attend the meeting tomorrow night. He
is appearing at the regular meeting tonight to hear this request
discussed. The Merit Board has not been notified of the meeting
tomorrow night.
Mayor Christy said that if he wished to attend tomorrow. night's
meeting he would be able to make his statements to the Council.
Upon roll call the motion to table for the Workshop CARRIED 5-0.
Mayor Christy said that the next item under communications was
from the Dept. of Commerce on the population estimate. He
read the section that stated "Loca11y derived alternative
estimates that are sent as a challenge should be accompanied
by complete documentation describing in detail the derivation
of the figure and the sources of the data used. He also called
the Council's attention to the challenge process. The City
has received 1978 Florida population as put out by the Population
Division Bureau of Economics Business Research, Univ. of Florida
and published on February 1979. They gave the population for
the City of Edgewater as 4,956. This is wrong. We are still
waiting to get the results of our volunteer census. As soon
as we get the complete results we can go to the next step in the
challenge procedure. We should request a formal hearing.
Councilman Sikes said that we have to do this before March 31.
Mayor Christy said that he knew this and would like the Council
to approve sending the necessary information.
Councilman Sikes made a motion to send this to the Planning Board

COORDINATORS REPORTS
Councilman Rotundo: No report.
Councilman Ledbetter: Told the Council that he had spoken with
Mr. Osban in connection with the pickup on the garbage at the
transfer station. Mr. Os ban hopes to have something worked out
with his new truck so that we wouldn't have any time elapse
between dumping.
Councilman Sikes: We have been getting several applications for
City Clerk and also for City Planner. He would suggest that each
Councilman look over each of the applications, keeping in mind
about what the City will be able to pay in salary, and select
about five that they feel would be qualified. When the Council
gets together to review these then the top three would be
interviewed, one at a time.
Mayor Christy said that an application for City Planner from
Jacqueline Van Anda had been withdrawn at the request of the
applicant.
Councilman Asting said the Council should set a date for going
over the applications.
Councilman Sikes made a motion to hold a workshop on Tuesday
April 10 to discuss the applications for City Clerk and City
Planner. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion.

o
u
Councilman Asting said he would like to set an earlier date.
Councilman Sikes said he would be out of town next week and
also asked to be excused from Monday Council Meeting 4/2/79.
Mr. Walter Gross asked the City Attorney to explain a Supreme
Court ruling on the hiring of employees for a City. The
hiring of employees should be open to the public.
Mr. Woods said that he did not know that anybody was withholding
information. These applications are open public records and
the selection will be open to the public.
Mr. Gross asked if it would be up to the citizens of the town
to review the applications.
Mr. Woods said that the Council would make the decision. It
will be at an open public meeting.
Mr. Gross said that if he understood correctly, the Councilmen
were going to review these applications and each Councilman would
select three and these would be the ones discussed at an open
public meeting. Is it open to the public to review all the
applications?
Mr. Woods said that all the applications were a matter for
public record.
Mr. Fredericks, Riverside Drive, asked if there was anybody
in City Hall that would like to be City Clerk and could handle
the job?
Mayor Christy said that they have asked but no one wanted the
job.
Councilman Asting added that anyone in City Hall or the City
of Edgewater who wanted to put in an application would have
their application reviewed by the Council along with all the
others.
Upon roll call the motion to hold a Workshop on April 10 DID
NOT CARRY 3-2. Councilman Rotundo and Councilman Sikes voted YES.
Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council hold this
Workshop the week of April the 2nd. Tuesday, April 3,1979
would be the best night. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the
motion.()
Councilman Asting said that anyone who wanted to look at the
applications at City Hall was free to do so.
Upon roll call the motion to hold the Workshop on April 3, 1979
CARRIED 5-0.
Councilman Asting: No report.
Mayor Christy: Wednesday, March 28, from the Dept. of Natural
Resources will be here to inspect Menard Beach. The City has
applied for a possible grant to purchase this property.
Councilman Sikes said that he thought we had been turned down
for the grant.
Mayor Christy said that no, that was the 701 Grant. He has
spoken to Sen. Stone's office and they were going to try and
help us get some funding. He has also received another phone
call from Tallahassee telling him that we still did not qualify.
However, Sen. Stone's office has told him that they will check
into this again and see what they can do.
Mayor Christy said that April 2nd was when he goes to ask for
tax money to start a recreational and cultural center. Also
Daytona Beach Community College called and they are again starting
a summer program for jobs and all it will cost the City is to
keep track of the time cards.
l:;
~
o
Councilman Sikes asked if this was the same program where we
had to give them time off to go to school.
Mayor Christy said that they worked in the morning and went
to school in the afternoon. The only expense for the City
is to turn in the time cards. If any department thinks they
can use some of this help, he would like to hear about it.
Councilman Sikes said that last year this program was not too
satisfactory because we were supposed to provide supervisors
for the workers.
Mayor Christy said that he will tell DBCC that the City is not
interested in this program:
Mayor Christy continued by discussing Federal Revenue Sharing
Funds. There are still two projects appropriated in the
entitlement periods 1, 2, and 4 which represents a recreation
and activity program for $10,000. and for public safety activity
for $11,625. Now this money has been budgeted when we first
started the Federal Revenue Sharing.
Councilman Sikes said that there was a time when we reappropriated
the Federal Revenue money. May, Zima does not always get
copies of our resolutions reappropriating the money.
Mayor Christy said this letter from May, Zima was written
January 17, 1979.
Councilman Sikes said that we should check and make sure we
have this money.
Mayor Christy said that the letter states the un budgeted revenues
and fund balance is $71,111. He will give each of the Councilmen
a copy of this letter and they can discuss it next week.
Councilman Sikes said that Mrs. Kinsey should get a verification
of funds from the auditors.
RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Woods said that before they get into the resolution, Mayor
Christy had asked him about a possible ordinance against harass-
ment. He has done a considerable amount of research and he
would advise the Council not to invade this province of constitu-
tional law because of the guarantees of the First Amendment and
the Delcaration of Rights of the Florida Constitution, the right
to free speech which includes the right to write certain letters,
etc. and to express your opinions on matters. There is a Florida
Statute which does protect people when there are threats on
their life or bodily harm. He doesn't see anyway that they could
draw up an ordinance that would withstand a constitutional attack
since the right of freedom of the press cannot be abridged.
Mr. Woods quoted from some law books concerning abridgement of
the privileges or immunities of citizens in regard to freedom
of speech or of the press.
The City Attorney read Resolution No. 79-R-38.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA
REQUIRING THAT ALL MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED AT THE REGULAR COUNCIL
MEETING HELD ON EACH MONDAY NIGHT SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY
CLERK OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA
FOR SAID MEETING ON OR BEFORE 12:00 NOON ON THE FRIDAY PRECEDING
THE MONDAY NIGHT COUNCIL MEETING, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN
CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Councilman Sikes made a motion that the Council accept this
Resolution. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion.
Councilman Ledbetter asked if this prevented audience participation?
Mr. Woods said that audience participation would still be included.
This would only mean that the Council and the Attorney would be
better prepared for items that are on the agenda.
6
Q
o
Mr. Siciliano asked who determines what should be on the agenda?
Mr. Woods said that the only purpose of this resolution is that
if someone has a particular subject matter that they wish the
Council to discuss on Monday night, the Council can be prepared
for that subject. It would give us an opportunity to have
the answers.
Councilman Asting said that under miscellaneous, the citizens
can bring up any subject.
Mr. Ben Vasquez asked what the procedure was in making a
presentation to the Council?
Mayor Christy said that it should state the subject matter to
be discussed.
Councilman Sikes said that Mr. Vasquez is not a voter in the
City of Edgewater. He has nothing to do with the government
of the City of Edgewater as far as controlling the actions that
the City Council will take. Do we have the right to refuse to
listen to him or for that matter people from New York or Detroit
or wherever?
Mr. Woods answered no. This is a public meeting. Mr. Vasquez
or anyone else is a member of the public and they can request
to address the Council on any matter that would be pertinent
to City business. I don't think you would want to abridge
anybody's right to speak before the Council.
Upon roll call the motion to adopt the Resolution CARRIED 5-0.
ORDINANCES
The City Attorney read Ordinance No. 79-0-9. This was a first
reading.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1302.5(g)1. PERTAINING TO THE
FLOOR HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES
IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Councilman Sikes made a motion that the Council adopt this
Ordinance. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Upon roll
call the motion CARRIED 5-0.
The Ordinance for St. Light Assessment will be read next week.
OLD BUSINESS
Mr. D. Coffey - Home Occupational License, 2111 Lime Tree Drive.
for a tree service. This is a part time business limited to trees.
The only business conducted at the residence will be telephone
calls. This was tabled from last week.
Mr. Coffey spoke to the Council and said that this was just
a part time job since he had a full time job at a different
occupation. He would probably do this only a few times a year,
to pick up some extra money.
Councilman Ledbetter asked about maintenance and repairs on
the chain saws without disturbing the neighbors.
Mr. Coffey said that he is aware of the noise of these tools and
would probably only make repairs during afternoon hours.
Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council grant this
license. Councilman Sikes seconded the motion. Upon roll call
the motion CARRIED 5-0.

o
Schwerman Trucking:
Mr. Ashworth, representing Schwerman Trucking was present at the
meeting.
The City Attorney said that there had been some question about
Lone Star operating illegally in an 1-3 Zone. The Council approved
the operation since Maule Indu~tries h~d been there for years
before Lone Star bought them out. It seems to be a permitted use
in the 1-3 Zone which provides for the manufacturing of products
made from aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, steel, shell, plastic,
wood or other materials. They are manufacturing concrete blocks.
The trucking company is in effect a separate business from Lone
Star. The Attorney suggested that Schwerman Trucking could appeal
to the Board of Adjustments for a special exception to operate
a trucking business in 1-3.
Councilman Sikes asked how this would be different from Lone
Star contracting any trucking company to haul their products?
Mr. Woods said the difference seems to be that Schwerman wants to
establish a permanent business here and would need a license to
operate in Edgewater. They would have to have a separate business
license from Lone Star. If they just came in there with their
trucks and loaded and unloaded then there would not be any need
for a separate license.
Mr. Ashworth said that they had trucks operating out of other cities.
Mr. Woods said that they had applied for a permit for a mobile trailer
to use as an office at Lone Star.
Councilman Sikes asked if they were hauling this cement to just
Lone Star plants or to other plants as well?
Mr. Ashworth said that they hauled td both Lone Star and other
plants but most of it is to Lone Star.
Councilman Sikes said that as long as he is hauling only Lone
Star products then could we grant a permit? He is actually
subcontracting the hauling for which Lone Star has no trucks. If
he started hauling for someone else it would make it a difference
business.
Councilman Asting asked if the Council could grant a temporary
authorization?
Mr. Woods said that the Council could grant this until they
could get a special exception from the Board of Adjustments.
Mayor Christy said that technically Lone Star is operating illegally.
They should be in an 1-2 Zone which allows concrete plants. Why
can1t we zone this area properly?
Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council grant a 90
day permit until they can comply with the zoning. Councilman Sikes
seconded the motion.
Mr. Siciliano said that this should probably be put under permitted
uses rather than special exception.
Mr. Woods said that this was an industrial park zoning and that
was not the intent of that zoning area, maybe it was zoned wrong in
the first place. You can go ahead and correct the zoning.
Mayor Christy asked if the Attorney would recommend that the Council
send a letter to the Zoning Board requesting a zoning change?
Mr. Woods said that might be appropriate.
Upon roll call the motion to grant a 90 day permit CARRIED 5-0.

Q
AUDIENCE MISCELLANEOUS
Mr. Walter Gross: Asked the City Attorney if the ordinance that
covers the conduct of the Merit Board also covers the conduct of
the City Council?
Mr. Woods asked in what respect?
Mr. Gross said concerning procedures.
Mr. Woods said that yes it outlines procedure.
Mr. Gross said that he has attended Council meetings these past
few weeks and has heard salary increases, hiring, Council grants
for people, Council sending employees to school paid for by the City,
to increase their classification and then raise their salary after
they have attended schobl and many other resolutions passed by
this Council. Not one word has been sent to the Merit Board in
writing regarding any of these motions passed by the Council. He
asked the City Attorney if that was good conduct?
Mr. Woods said that he would be glad to give legal opinions but
he was not going to comment on the policy decisions of the Council.
Mr. Gross said that the Merit Board went over the Merit Ordinance
with the City Attorney and they determined the responsibilities of
the Merit Board. Is it within the legal ordinance to send people
to school or to hire people or increase their salary and not notify
the Merit Board of what went on?
Mr. Woods said that he is not prepared to discuss this at this time.
Mr. Gross said that Mr. Woods did know when he met with the Merit
Board. You said that they must notify the Merit Board. Have they
changed the ordinance? The Merit Board never gets any answers from
the City or the Councilor the Mayor and now the City Attorney is
not giving us any answers. Is there some person that we can go
to to get a ruling on this?
Mr. Woods asked where Mr. Gross would like to go to get a ruling?
Mr. Gross said that the City was paying Mr. Woods for his knowledge ·
and ability and he came to a Merit Board meeting and discussed
the Merit Ordinance. He had thought that they understood what
the responsibilities of the Board and the Council were. He is
asking that motions or resolutions passed by the Council be handled
in accordance with the Merit Ordinance.
Mayor Christy said that the Council will meet on Tuesday, March 27
at 6:30 P.M. in the Shuffleboard Clubroom and will discuss the Merit
Ordinance and you will be able to get information then.
Mr. Gross said that he would try to make it to that meeting.
Mr. Michael Fredericks, 1606 S. Riverside Dr., said that after what
Mr. Gross has said we might just as soon get rid of the Merit Board
if the Council does not go along with it.
Mayor Christy told Mr. Fredericks about the meeting to discuss the
Merit Ordinance.
Mr. Siciliano asked if the City Clerk's job was advertised as City
Clerk/Administrator?
Mayor Christy said that it was advertised that way. The duties of
the City Clerk ar.e spelled out in the City Charter. The duties will
be the same, they are just adding on the word "administrator".
Mr. Ben Vasquez, said that he was a property owner in Edgewater. He
would like to make a presentation to the Council concerning certain
accusations he has made against New Smyrna Beach for which he has
filed the necessary papers, pertaining to the EPA project #120619001
which is the 201 Facilities Plan. -!He said that he believed Edgewater
had passed Resolution No. 732 adopting the plan. Some of the charges
9
.
o.
o
he has made against New Smyrna Beach also involves the City of
Edgewater since they are part of this program. He would like
to make a presentation on this to the Council.
Mayor Christy asked Mr. Vasquez to give the Council that information
and they would put it on next week's agenda under Old Business.
Mr. Vasquez said that he had not attended the meeting where the
Council discussed the Animal Control Ordinance. He had brought
up at a previous Council meeting the problem of trapping of animals
in Florida Shores. He called the Council's attention to the
number of dogs running loose in Florida Shores and asked if the
present ordinance prohibited dogs running loose?
Mayor Christy said that yes there was an ordinance that required
dogs be under some restraint.
Mr. Vasquez said that this should be enforced for the protection
of the animals.
Mayor Christy called a ten minute recess.
Meeting called back to order.
Mayor Christy said that he needs a motion to send a letter to
the Zoning Board recommending the rezoning of Lone Star.
Councilman Sikes made a motion that we refer to the Zoning Board,
for their consideration,changing the zoning that is presently 1-3
in the Lone Star area and rezone it to 1-2. The Council recommends
that this be rezoned. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion.
Mr. Woods said that this would be a letter to the Zoning Board
requesting that they consider this recommendation of the Council.
If the Zoning Board agrees then the necessary steps will be taken
to rezone the area.
Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Freeman, 1852 Hibiscus, license to operate a Painting and
Sandblasting Business. This is in a B-2 Zone. This is not a
permitted use in this zoning area.
Mr. Woods said that he believed this should go to the Zoning Board.
Mayor Christy said that on the advice of the Attorney they will
send this application to the Zoning Boand.
The next application was from Calvin Johnson, 1926 Mango Tree,
home occupational license for a painting business. The home will
be used for telephone and office. This is a R-IB Zoning District.
No materials will be stored on the property.
Councilman Sikes made a motion to grant this home occupational
license. Councilman Asting se~onded the motion. Upon roll call
the motion CARRIED 5-0. .
The next application was from Stanley Clavet, 2417 Queen Palm,
home occupational license to operate a major appliance repair
business. The home will be used for telephone and office. The
application had not been completed by the Building Official.
Councilman Sikes made a motion to grant this home occupational license
subject to Building Official approval. Councilman Rotundo seconded
the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0.
Counci~man. Rotundo made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Councilman
Sikes seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned.
