The City Clerk read a letter from the Board of Adjustment concerning a recent Public Hearing and the action taken by the Board on three applications for variances. 1. Mr. Miller, Ocean Ave. - The City Clerk stated that Mr. Miller had written to the Mayor complaining about the action of the Board and stating the reasons why he thinks he should have received the variance he requested. The Board had notified the Council that they agreed to a 20' variance instead of the 16~' variance requested by Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller actually has enough room to meet all required setbacks but the Board was willing to compromise in order to give Mr. Miller more backyard space. However, at the Public Hearing, Mr. Miller refused the variance. Councilman Rotundo made a motion that the Council send this letter to the Board of Adjustment. Councilman Glaser seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. The second request for a variance was from Mr. Glenn Jones, Riverside Drive.

(A resolution will be prepared for the next Council meeting.) The third request for a variance was from Mr. Lucht for property on Riverside Dr. The Board voted to deny this request because Mr. Lucht was asking for variances on both side and rear yards and the area did not have sufficient dimensions to make it a buildable lot. Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council accept the Board's recommendation and deny this application. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. The City Clerk read a letter from the Board of Adjustment requesting that the Council consider some reimbursement for gasoline used by members in the inspection of properties requesting variances. 3 Q o City Attorney Woods said that the Boards are voluntary and serve without compensation. We do not have any provisions for compensation. Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council table this and let the City Clerk look into the aspect of possible funding for the Boards. The City Clerk should report back to the Council at the Agenda Workshop on March 20. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Councilman Asting said that he felt that the Council should set up some form of reimbursement for extra expenses to Board members. We should take this into consideration when the next budget is set. He has served on Boards and knows that it can cost extra money for the members to carry out their responsibilities. Mrs. Martin, Chairman of the Board of Adjustment, spoke to the Council and said that it was the hope of the Board that the Council would consider the cost of service to the City for all Board members not just the Board of Adjustment. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. 2A . The City Clerk read a letter from the Zoning Board requesting that the Council approve Phase II of Wildwood Subdivision. The Zoning Board has authorized their Chairman to sign the final plat subject to approval of the Council and approval of the installed utilities by a certified engineer. The Board believes that this subdiv.ision is part of 166 lots annexed by the City in 1977 and therefore not subject to current subdivision regulations. City Attorney Woods stated that he agreed with the Zoning Board. The Council has already accepted the entire area of the subdivision. Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council approve the final plat for Wildwood Subdivision Phase II. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Councilman Asting said that the City would have to get BWA as our consulting engineers to inspect the installed utilities. Mr. Hall told the Council he would notify the City when he was ready for that inspection. Councilman Ledbetter said he would amend his motion to add that Council approve the final plat subject to inspection of utilities by BWA. Councilman Rotundo seconded the amendment. Upon roll call the motion and the amendment to the motion CARRIED 5-0. The City Clerk read a letter from the City Planner stating that the Planning Board and the Zoning Board had reviewed the site plan for commercial buildings in the B-3 area of Pelican Cove Subdivision. The Planning Board approved the site plan and the Zoning Board approved the site plan subject to certification from the engineers that the lift station ~ill be able to handle this building as well as any additional proposed houses in the area. The Zoning ~oard would also like the Fire Dept. to check out fire plugs in the area. Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Board and the Zoning Board and have the City Clerk contact BWA for certification of the lift station. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. The City Clerk read a letter from the City Planner requesting Council authorization to require at least one working week prior to the Zoning Board meeting for submission of site plans. This would give the various City departments time to check out the site and make comments. Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Planner and require one week before presentation to Zoning Board for site plans. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. The question was raised as to whether or not a resolution should be drawn up. 4 o o Councilman Asting made a motion to amend his motion authorizing the City Attorney to draw up a resolution for prior submission of site plans. Councilman Rotundo seconded the amendment. Upon roll call the motion and the amendment CARRIED 5-0.

Councilman Glaser seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 4-1. Councilman Ledbetter voted NO. The City Clerk read a letter from Southern Bell concerning the updating of the telephone system for City Hall and other City Departments. City Attorney Woods asked if the City Clerk had checked into the cost of having the City own their own telephone system. He believes that this could be less expensive. The Council agreed that the City Clerk should investigate the cost of owning the communication system and report back to the Council. The City Clerk read a letter he had written to the City Council requesting that a policy for the handling and payment of requests for public information be established by resolution by the Council. This would include a specific charge for copies, plus the fact that the charge should be collected in advance. The City should allow a reasonable time to get this information for copying and also in reference to tapes that the reproduction of tapes not be authorized. There was a long discussion by the Council concerning this request. Councilman Rotundo made a motion that the Council accept the City Clerk1s recommendation. He added that the three working days required to research the information be used in the case of information for the current fiscal year. Councilman Glaser seconded the motion. The question of a City official being present whenever someone wants to listen to tapes was discussed. Councilman Rotundo said he would amend his motion and add that a City Official must.be present when someone listens to the tapes. Councilman Glaser seconded the amendment. Mr. Frank Opal told the Council that he felt 25~ was too much. Mr. Walter Gross said that he felt if he attended meetings, as an interested citizen, that he should get copies of what is being discussed at the meeting so that he knows what they are talking about. City Attorney Woods said that it was not a policy of the City to prov~de copies to other than Board members or Council members. Mayor Christy said that if the City were to try and give copies to everyone who attends meetings it:\would be far too expensive. Upon roll call the motion and the amendment to the motion CARRIED 5-0. Mayor Christy called a 10 minute recess. Meeting called back to order. The City Clerk read a letter from the State Dept. of Transportation concerning Edgewater's request for signal lights. It will be necessary for the City to pass a resolution committing funds for this project before the DOT can make a study and advise if these lights are necessary. Mr. Herget said that he had checked with the DOT and signal lights cost approximately $30,000 to $40,000 and the cost of updating the signal light on Park Ave. would be approximately $15,000. 5 o o The Council discussed the fact that the requested locations for signal lights are either State or County roads. Mayor Christy said that New Smyrna Beach has been able to get their signal lights free of charge and he believes this is discrimination. Chief Baugh said that there have been 21 accidents at the intersection of 442 and U.S. 1 in the past 15 months. The Council agreed that a letter should be sent requesting that the State reconsider funding at least a signal light at 442 and U.S. 1 and the updating of the Park Ave. light. Copies should be sent to all State representatives, County Council members, VCOG, Gov. Graham. The City Clerk will write the letter. 3A The City Clerk read a letter from the Supervisors of the Water and Wastewater Departments requesting that the Council appoint a Coordinator for their departments. They recommended the Council consider appointing Councilman Asting since he has already had experience as W/WW Coordinator. Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council appoint Councilman Asting as Coordinator for the W/WW Dept. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. The City Attorney will draw up the necessary resolution. The City Clerk read a letter from the Building Code Board requesting that the Council grant the Building Official permission to use his own discretion to determine the height of a buildlng being built by Mr. Kochis on Naranga. There are other homes in the area and if Mr. Kochis has to meet the height requirements set by Ord. 79-0-9, he will create flooding problems for his neighbors. City Attorney Woods said that the City should get a release from Mr. Kochis in case of any future flooding. Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council grant this recommendation subject to Mr. Kochis.s signing a release on the flood area. Councilman Asting seconded the motion.. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. The City Clerk read a letter from the Merit Board concerning an amendment to the Merit Ordinance that would change the procedure for disciplinary action by Supervisors. Presently any disciplinary action goes to the Council and then to the Merit Board. The Merit Board is recommending that this procedure be changed to have action on any discipline problem or grievance from an employee because of disciplinary action go to the Merit Board first and then to the Council.

Mr. Fredericks spoke to the Council and said that there were some places on Riverside Drive where the resident had been granted a Home Occupational License. These people park their business vehicle with a sign on it in front of their house. Chief Baugh said that he would check into this. Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council grant Mr. Scott a license. Councilman Glaser seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. 3B COORDINATORS REPORTS Councilman Rotundo told the Council that the Fire Chief wished to speak to the Council concerning storage at the City Barn. Fire Chief Serverance told the Council that the Fire Dept. had been given permission to store certain items at the City Barn. Recently these items were moved and the storage area changed. Some of the items that were stored there were damaged. The Fire Dept. has to have this area for storage. This area must be restored by Thursday night because another tanker is being delivered and this will take up what storage space they have at the Fire Dept. so that more room will be needed at the City Barn. Councilman Rotundo said that he had talked with Mr. Copeland at the City Barn and the Fire Dept. storage area will be put back in its original order and damages repaired. Councilman Rotundo also told the Council that there is a junked police car at the City Barn and they want to get rid of it. There was a discussion about getting estimates on what someone might pay for this junk. Councilman Rotundo made a .motion that the City sell this car for junk. Councilman Glaser secpnded the motion. The City Attorney suggested that the Chief get estimates from local junk dealers. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 4-1. Mayor Christy voted NO. Councilman Ledbetter No report. Councilman Glaser No report. Councilman Asting reported that the Street Lighting Committee had approved street light installation on Woodland Dr. and Fernald. They rejected a request for a street light on Beulah Dr. because there already was a light there. The Committee will get together with representatives from Pelican Cove Subdivision to find out about installing lights there. Councilman Asting also asked for information concerning the lot owned by Corbett Smith. City Attorney Woods said that he had sent a letter to Mr. Smith's attorney stating that this lot must be cleaned up. 7 u ~ Councilman Asting said that he had been approached by Mr. McAllister regarding the specifications we sent out for bids for digging shell. Mr. McAllister did not feel there was adequate informatlon on the specifications to make bids on. There was a long Council discussion concerning the shell pit, the continuation of digging, the cost of the digging, etc. Councilman Ledbetter pointed out that the total cost so far has been 4A over $15,000 for approximately 15,000 yards of shell. Councilman Asting said that he did not believe that much shell had been dug out of the area. There was also a question about the watei tower at the end of the lake. It is possible that continued digging could endanger this tower. . The Council discussed going out for bids on shell delivered on site to the City. Mr. McAllister told the Council that he was sure if the Council specified the amount of money the City had to spend that they could get a good deal on shell from someone who would be willing to help out the City and still make a profit. Mayor Christy talked about the poor condition of the grader. The Council also discussed t~e money left in the Street Dept. budget to continue this work. Mr. Herget said that he had not deducted all the costs but that they started out with $9626.84 and just taking the money that was paid to Mr. Wilson they have $4,026. left. However, there are other expenses like the pump which was $867. and we have received another bill on the pump for about $700. There is $10,308.08 in Federal Revenue Sharing. This is for road materials and supplies. Councilman Asting said that we should look into the possibility of going to other sources to see what we could buy shell for. City Attorney Woods suggested that the City take some borings of the lake to determine the amount of shell there. Mayor Christy said that they had been quoted 60~ a yard (100,000 yards) about four years ago. The County gave the City about 300 yards and then they wanted to charge us $1.65 a yd. and this was about 6 months ago. He understands they do not want to sell any more to us. Mr. Smith who has his own pit is willing to sell it for about $3.00 a yard. This would be from the pit and loaded on our trucks. Mr. McAllister said that if the City would set up a standard for bidding, he believes they could get a better bid than $3.00. He could send the City now to one of his competitors who would load it for $2.00 a yard. The bidding is terrible in this City on little jobs and that is the way a lot of people make money is on small jobs. Councilman Asting said he believed we have spent over $3.00 a yard for the shell we have gotten out of the lake. Councilman Rotundo said that there was still shell sitting out by the lake that should be hauled away and used. There was more discussion about the amount of shell that wa~ taken from the lake and the amount that is still left. Councilman Asting suggested that the City find out what the cost of shell would be from other sources and compare. Mayor Christy asked the City Clerk to make a few calls and compile the information for Council about shell being delivered and the cost of it out at the pit. He also asked what the Council wanted to do about the bids. and the depth of the pit. - 8 - Q o City Clerk Herget stated that he could not give the depth until he found out how deep they were going to dig. Also if they could not get 16,000 yards out of the pit, then the specifications would be wrong. City Attorney Woods suggested that the City go out on bids and ask for a delivered price on so many cubic yards at a certain spot to be delivered in Edgewater. Mr. McCallister said that since the City was still undecided they might want to go down to the lake and clean up what they have and make it look good and in the meantime put out some bids for shell delivered to the road and tell someone you want so many loads at so much per load. Councilman Asting made a motion that the City cease operation in the shell pit at Lake Coquina and restore the area and go out for bids for shell to be purchased from other sources and trucked into the roads that need repair and we can schedule that so that the shell is delivered when our grader is available to grade the roads. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion. The City Clerk said they should know how much shell the City wants before they go out for bids. Councilman Asting said that Mr. Herget had told the Council that they had about $4,000. Mr. Herget asked if they wanted to bid on all the shell they could get for $4,000? Councilman Asting said they should find out the price per yard delivered on site in the Florida Shores area. Mayor Christy asked if the Council did not want to finish cleaning out the lake? Councilman Asting said that he had said restore the area in his motion. Councilman Rotundo -said that it would probably take half the money left to clean out the area. Councilman Asting said that in view of the water tower there he does not think we should go any deeper just straighten out the surface area and the banks. 48 There was some discussion about how much they would go out for bids for. Mr. Woods said he believed they would get a better price on the more yardage they haul in. Mr. McAllister said they should ask for bids on truckloads. You need some idea of about how much shell you need. Mr. Pilch suggested that the Council let whoever was bidding state that they would give you for example 15 yards at X amount of dollars per yard and if the City buys say 100 yards the amount per yard might be less and they could give you the breaking point and then -the City could make the decision as to how much they want to buy at one time and at what price they would want to pay for it. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 4-1. Mayor Christy voted NO. Mr. Herget said that they would have to send letters to the contractors that had already gotten bids and tell them that the present bid has been cancelled. City Attorney No report. City Cl,erk said that Mr. Osban had told him he would have to research his records to find out how much, if any, money he owed the City for the trash removal franchise. Mr. Herget added that he should have a report for the Council at their next meeting. 9 o o The City Clerk also said that he had spoken to Mr. Murphy about charging impact fees for trailer parks. Mr. Murphy said that at the present time only Seahorse Trailer Park is expanding. He will make a note on any permits for new trailers. The City Clerk also said that he had been contacted by Mr. Wagner of the Florida Bank and Trust Co. Mr. Wagner said that he felt his bank could offer a higher percentage on certificates of deposit. Mr. Herget said that he would check with other banks in the area concerning a higher interest rate. The Council agreed that if the City Clerk could get a better interest rate at another bank then he should do so. Mayor Christy spoke to the Council concerning a letter received last October from Mr. James Hatfield regarding the fact that he would be willing to give some of his property for the purpose of constructing a street. This street would go from CheetailDr. to Pearl St. and conti~ue Canal Drive. Councilman Asting said that a property owner in the area, Mr. Franck, does not want to give any property for this road. There is nothing the City can do about it. Mayor Christy said that we had received a letter on Feb. 25, 1980 referring to Edgewater Water Plant. The letter was from the St. John's District of the DER. It stated that the plant has not been cleared for service. Councilman Asting said that he would check with Briley, Wild about this. Mayor Christy asked the Council if it was alright to change the Agenda and discuss the Animal Ordinance at this time instead of under Old Business. There are a number of people in the audience who wish to speak to the Council concerning this ordinance. The Council agreed to move this item up on the Agenda. There was a long discussion between the Council and members of the audience primarily concerning the law that prohibits horses from being ridden on paved streets in the City. The people in the audience who spoke to the Council were all in favor of having this law changed to allow horses to be ridden anywhere within the City. They said that other cities allowed horses and with the increased cost of gasoline more people were using their horses as means of transportation rather than just recreation. Chief Baugh said that the present law allows horses on unpaved streets only. City Attorney Woods also spoke to the Council regarding the removal of the section requiring that cats be licensed. He said that this would be almost impossible to enforce. Also, the Police Chief had recommended deleting the section that allows horses to be stabled within the City if the owner gets a permit. If the Council agrees, this section will be deleted. Councilman Rotundo made a motion to table any decision on the Animal Ordinance fior discussion at the workshop on March 20, 1980. Councilman Asting seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. Mayor Christy called another recess. Meeting called back to order. 5A RESOLUTIONS ORDINANCES NONE.

The Attorney was authorized to draw up the necessary ordinances. - 11 - o o v The Council discussed the letter from the Supervisor of the Street Department regarding permission to install drainage pipe from Snider St. to Palm Way Street and close the open ditch. Mr. Copeland states that this is a health hazard to the residents because of water standing in the ditch. It would be necessary for Mr. Cory to survey the property and the City would have to obtain easements from the property owners. We would also have to get the County mosquito control to straighten the ditch. Councilman Ledbetter said that he was afraid that if we start working on that private property then the City may have to do the same thing allover the City. One of the County Councilman has been called on this and he said that the minute the County equipment goes to work in that area the County Council would hold a Council meeting at that corner. Councilman Glaser asked if this request had come from all the property owners in that area? Mayor Christy said he did not know but he knew that Lt. McCall had spoken about it. The Mayor added that he was sure the Council had approved this at one time but he had not had the time to research it. ,I i . Councilman Rotundo made a motion that the Council TABLE this for further investigation. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 5-0. The City Council considered a letter from Mr. Kevin Bosse, Supervisor of the Waste Water Dept. concerning a sewer lateral blockage at 116 E. Knapp Ave. The owner claims that there is a broken pipe and it is the City's responsibility. Mr. Bosse said there was no indication of a broken pipe.
