MINUTES NO. 97-10

MINUTES OF A ZONING AND PLANNING BOARD MEETING HELD IN THE INDIALANTIC TOWN HALL ON JULY 22, 1997

This meeting was tape recorded. Records are indexed and filed for ready reference where such have been summarized in typed minutes.

1. CALL TO ORDER AT 5:30 PM

Chairman Kostro called the meeting to order at 5:35 PM.

2. APPLICATIONS

A. Public Hearing on Ordinance Nos. 97-11 and 97-12 - Amending the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and amending the Zoning Map with regard to Lot 2, Block 92, Indialantic (Requested by Salah ElGamil)

There were no public comments.

The Board reviewed a memo from Mr. Rosenblatt who was unable to attend the meeting.

Mr. Washburn advised that if the rezoning is approved, the additional 5,000 square feet would allow for one additional unit based on density of the entire site. Mr. ElGamil stated at his submittal that he was requesting the rezoning in order to use Lot 2 for landscaping, setbacks etc. and not for an additional unit. It was noted that if the lot is not rezoned, it could not be built on without a variance. Mr. Washburn stated that he felt it was preferable to have the entire parcel in the same zoning/land use classification; since there is no other vacant property abutting this site it would not create a precedent and it resolves a problem with a 50 ft. lot.

The Board reviewed the advertising requirements and the procedure for Council approval.

It was the consensus of the Board that they would like to protect the abutting property owner to the west, noting that a block wall will be required as a buffer.

Mr. Fischer moved to recommend approval of Ordinance 97-11 and to recommend that Council require a 25 foot side setback on lot 2. Mr. Kleving seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Bogert moved to recommend approval of Ordinance 97-12 and to recommend that Council require a 25 foot side setback on lot 2. Mr. Young seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
