~
Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that we accept the Caton bid
for the insurance, b~ing seconded by Councilman Rotundo.
There were several questions about the different coverages on
each of the programs at this time.
Mr. Caton recommended that the Council make March 1, 1980 the
date of expiration, and that the bids be set up every three years.
If a company provides you with this service for three years, they
will offer you a savings at the end of the three year term if your
losses are good, this would be to the City's advantage.
Councilman Ledbetter incorporated the limit of one year in his
motion, Councilman Rotundo accepted this in his second to the
motion. Upon roll call vote the motion CARRIED 5-0.
The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from the Zoning Board in
regard to the board's review and approval of the final plat
for Riveredge Terrace (Harris Construction). This approval
under the condition that the Council make arrangements for a
certified engineer to inspect the installation of the utilities
as soon as possible. Also that the Council adopt the board~s
2-A previous request in regard to two story homes in the R-lA District.
Councilman Asting made a motion that we hold this first request
until Briley Wild can look at the final plat and approve it and
the utilities installations, being seconded by Councilman Led-
better. Upon roll call vote the motion CARRIED 5-0.
Attorney Woods stated that as far as the second part of the letter,
if the Council decides to act on this they will have to hold a'
Public Hearing.
Councilman Asting stated that this request was made previously
and it was denied.
Attorney William Gillespie, spoke in behalf of Mr. Harris, asking
the Council to consider the request and the fact that these are
unique circumstances as compared with the rest of the City. He
went on to explain the situation. The property in question is
easterly of Riverside Drive, and the owner of the property directly
across on tne west of Riverside Drive has no objections to this
subdivision. He wants the Council to consider only restricting,/
the houses that are contiguous to the street abutting the waterv
way to one story only, and not restrict the entire subdivision.
Councilman Rotundo made a motion to deny the request,being seconded
by Councilman Glaser.
Councilman Ledbetter stated that he would have liked to table
this in order to give each Councilman a chance to look over this
area and perhaps get an opinion from the City Attorney.
Attorney Woods stated that this will require a Public Hearing
because this is adding a special exception in our present R-lA
Zoning District to allow two-story homes east of Riverside Drive.
-3-
~
o
Councilman Asting stated that he also agrees with Mr. Ledbetter.
He feels that we should have a Public Hearing on this and dis-
cuss it thoroughly.
Attorney Woods stated that this is a Council decision.
Councilman Glaser stated that we should decide whether this is
going to be allowed or not, he added that the work has been going
on with this subdivision for some time now and we have all had a
chance to look it over, however if the Council wants to hold a
Public Hearing to receive input from the public he is willing to
go along with this.
Councilman Rotundo did not want to withdraw his motion.
Councilman Glaser said that he would stay with his second.
Mr. DeMuch , 2001 Royal Palm Drive was given the floor, stating
that we have a man who wants to put in a subdivision on the
east side of #1, and he is being rejected. He added that he is
surprised and disgusted with the action unless there are some
definite reasons for this except personal reasons.
Mr. Siciliano, Fernald Street, spoke to the Council about this.
He went over the things that the Zoning Board took into consider-
ation upon making their recommendation to the Council.
Mr. Harris was asked by the Council to answer some questions.
He explained that he does not know exactly how many two story
homes will be built, but he has had a couple of requests for
them. He added that having a few two story homes will add to
the beauty of the subdivision, he does not plan to have any
houses exactly alike.
Mr. Nichols, 3039 Mango Tree Drive stated that he feels that
when an individual purchases property to build on, he should be
allowed to build whatever he wishes.
Mrs. Harris explained to the Council that they intend to stay
within the 22 feet, which is allowed already by the ordinance,
but to put this into two stories.
Mayor Christy asked the attorney if the Council would be open for
a law suit from the individual who asked earlier to build a two
story house.
Attorney Woods stated that this has nothing to do with that, the
Council is now considering a uniform change in the zoning of the
City. He added that he can never guarantee that the City will
not be sued.
Mr. Don Williams, 115 North Riverside, stated that since his house
is part of the discussion, he would like to say that if the Council
grants a two story building now, he would not sue the City. He
feels that it was a mistake in the first place not to allow this
and for the City to correct a mistake is a good step forward.
2-B Councilman Glaser stated that presently the ordinance requires a
special exception to go before the Board of Adjustments unless it's
in the Subdivision Ordinance. He asked if the Zoning Board is
asking that this particular matter would not go before the Board
of Adjustments but merely be approved by the Zoning Board and the
City Council.
Attorney Woods stated that he feels this is correct, however it is
usual procedure that a special exception be granted by our Board
of Adjustments. Any variance that you granted under your Subdivision
-4-
o
o
Ordinance would have to be in conformity with your Zoning Laws.
Mr. Ted Jacomus spoke to the Council of the quality of home~ that
are built by Mr. Harris, and he asked if Mr. Rotundo and Mr. Glaser
would state their reasons for not approving this?
Councilman Rotundo stated that he is just abiding by the Ordinance.
Councilman Glaser stated that he personally is opposed to the two
story houses on the east side of Riverside Drive, however he has
heard some very logical arguments for this.
Attorney Gillespie spoke to the Council again that the heighth
limitation is what the Council should be looking at, not how many
stories are in the house.
There was further discussion on this.
Upon roll call vote on the motion to deny the recommendation of
the Zoning Board, the motion DIED 1-4.
Councilman Asting made a motion that the Council hold a Public
Hearing for the purpose of hearing this R-lA zoning rule on two
story buildings,being seconded by Councilman Ledbetter. Upon
roll call vote the motion CARRIED 5-0. \
At this time the Fire Chief was asked to glve his recommendation
on the tanker bids.
Mr. Severance stated that they request that the City Council accept
the bid from Truck Power & Equipment Company. They meet each and
every specification.
The Deputy City Clerk read the Certification of Funds.
Councilman Rotundo made a motion to accept the recommendation,
being seconded by Councilman Glaser. Upon roll call vote the
motion CARRIED 5-0.
The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from the Zoning Board in regard
to Mr. Kochis wishing to build a single family residence in a B-3
zoning area.
3-A Mr. Siciliano answered some questions about this recommendation.
He explained that this man's building meets all of the building
requirements.
There was discussion among the Council and Mr. Siciliano about
this, and about the fact that people wanting to build single
family homes in commercial or multi-family districts are having
to get their site plans appoved. It is not only becoming very
time consuming for them, but it could be costly also.
Attorney Woods reminded the Council that they are going to hold
a Public Hearing to remedy this.
Councilman Asting stated that we should continue to go the way
we are, with the Public Hearing, and authorize the Building Official
to issue building permits so that we won't be holding these people
up.
There was discussion as to whether this should be done.
Mr. Siciliano stated that there was a joint meeting with the
Zoning Board and the Planning Board and the majority of both
boards agreed to have the Building Official continue as is in
a temporary manner until the mistake in the ordinance can be
officially corrected.
-5-
o
o
Attorney Woods suggested that it would be to the best interest
of the City and the people effected for the Council to authorize
the Building Official to issue the building permits in these
particular zones. This is causing a hardship and earlier he
was being bound by the strict wording of the ordinance.
Councilman Asting made a motion to this effect, being seconded
by Councilman Ledbetter.
Mr. Opal told the Council that this matter was brought to the
Zoning Board's attention by the Building Inspector. The recom-
mendation is to allow the inspector to temporarily go about his
business and approve the site plans for the single family homes
until the correction can be made to the ordinance. The Zoning
Board does not want to be meeting every day to approve these site
plans and we shouldn't be holding these people up.
Upon roll call vote the motion CARRIED 5-0.
At this time Attorney John Bolt, representing Mr. George Cameron
spoke to the Council that Mr. Cameron has exactly the same problem
as was just discussed. The only exception being that Mr. Cameron
has already gotten the site plan approval. From the decision just
made by the Council, it is interpreted that Mr. Cameron can also
get his building permit tomorrow, therefore there is no need to
keep them on the agenda tonight.
The Council took a five minute recess.
Reconvene:
The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from the Zoning Board recommending
the Council zone the area known as Edgewater Public School, Cemetery
and Church R-4, with school, cemetery and church as a special
exception.
Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that we reject this, for the
simple reason that the cemetery, the church and school have been
there since year one, being seconded by Councilman Asting.
The Deputy City Clerk read the letter from the City Planner to
the Zoning Board in regard to this matter.
Councilman Rotundo said the question is should we take the recom-
mendation of the City Planner. He feels that we should.
Councilman Ledbetter stated that he would like to see this area
zoned what it has always been, he doesn't think the zoning should
be changed.
Councilman Glaser stated that the recommendations from two of
our City Planners have been very similar. He feels that we should
go along with the board's recommendation.
3-B Mr. Siciliano explained that they are not trying to hinder anyone
here; they are just trying to keep from having so many different
classifications in the ordinance. It is just another correction
to Ordinance 880.
There was discussion with the attorney about this. The Mayor
read from the Ordinance. It was explained that the buildings
in question could expand, but no one could build a school or a
church or put a cemetery in any other R-4 district without getting
a special exception first.
Upon roll call vote on the motion, it DIED 2-3. Councilman Rotundo,
Councilman Glaser and Mayor Christy voting NO.

the motion DIED 2-3. Councilman Rotundo, Councilman Glaser
and Mayor Christy voting NO.
Councilman Asting stated that we have some business people in
the audience who are waiting on some occupational licenses to
be acted upon. He would like to see this taken care of now,
so that these people don't have to wait any longer before going
home.
Mayor Christy stated that we should finish the matter at hand
presently.
Councilman Glaser made a motion to accept the recommendation of
the Zoning Board and the City Planner to zone this area R-4 to
be a special exception, being seconded by Councilman Rotundo.

2118 Needle Palm Drive for a Handyman business.

license, being seconded by Councilman Asting. Upon roll call the
motion CARRIED 5-0.
The Deputy City Clerk read an application from Joseph Vasquez,
109 South Ridgewood for a Cement Work business.
Mr. Vasquez stated that he is not going to keep any equipment
at his home, it will just be for the telephone and his mail.

seconded by Councilman Rotundo. Upon roll call vote the motion
CARRIED 5-0.

The Deputy City Clerk read a letter from T.A. Wadsworth, Water

seconded by Councilman Ledbetter. Upon roll call vote the motion
CARRIED 5-0.
There was discussion about provisions being made about situations
like this.
COORDINATORS REPORTS
Councilman Rotundo asked if the Fire Chief would take the floor.
Mr. Severance spoke to the Council about a seminar that is being
held April the 19th and 20th in Palatka. He would like to send
six firemen to this seminar. This will cost $360 and it will come
out of the Fire Department's budget. He added that he would also
like the Council to approve payment for their rooms at $20. each.
The entire expenditure will be $480.
Councilman Ledbetter made a motion to expend the $480. for this,
being seconded by Councilman Asting. Upon roll call vote the
motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mr. Severance stated that he has not had a chance to get into
City Hall, however the City will be receiveing a bill from Overhead
Door Company. He would like this bill to be held because the work
was not done properly.
Mr. Severance stated that the property that they have been looking
at for a fire house fell through. He would like for the Council
to contact the City of New Smyrna Beach and get their feelings on
the possible purchase of the corner lot of the 12th and Mango(200
by 200 feet lot). This was deeded to New Smyrna by the County
years ago.
There was discussion about other pieces of property in this area.
Mr. Severance stated that they are looking at one piece of property
at a time.

of New Smyrna Beach in regard to the purchase of this property,
being seconded by Councilman Ledbetter. Upon roll call vote the
motion CARRIED 5-0.

call vote the motion CARRIED 5-0.

Q
Q
Councilman Ledbetter stated that he feels that if a police car
is involved in an accident he feels that an independent investi-
gation should be made.
The Police Chief explained that this is done, however he feels
that a more detailed investigation and report should also be
made by one of our investigators.
4-B
Councilman Glaser stated that he would like to discuss the letter
he submitted concerning the City Clerk.
The Deputy City Clerk read the letter requesting a salary lncrease
for the City Clerk.
The City Clerk's present salary is $12,100.
Mayor Christy stated that he agrees with the lncrease, Mr.Herget
is an asset to the City.
Councilman Ledbetter stated that during the sixteen years he has
been in Edgewater, Mr. Herget has made one of the three good City
Clerks that we have had. He earns his money. He is concerned
however if we raise his salary now, are we going to have to be
able to do this for the other department heads?
Mayor Christy stated that he doesn't see that the other depart-
ment heads come into this, because the City Clerk has many other
responsibilities and positions, and he does them all very well.
He suggested that we go along with Mr. Glaser's recommendation.
Councilman Asting stated that we incorporated a ten percent in-
crease for him in the budget for this year and this was granted
