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

Vice Chairman Bogert called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM.

2. APPLICATIONS

A. Livco Nurseries - Site plan approval (Parking lot) - 200 Block, Fourth Avenue

Lillian Ramey, 230 Third Avenue, spoke against paving any further lots in Town and recommended that some other option, such as grass, be used for parking lots.

Mr. Washburn advised that the code allows alternatives to paving but that it is the applicant's choice. He also advised that grass is suitable for temporary or periodic parking but that it isn't practical for everyday use.

Robert Lee, Lee Engineering, stated that this off site lot is needed for overflow parking and that it meets all of the code requirements. He noted that daily parking on grass kills the grass and leaves a muddy and sandy lot with issues of serviceability and liability for the owner.

John MacNeill, 1320 S. Riverside, noted that other alternatives, such as brick pavers, could be used but that it is the choice of the property owner.

Mr. Kleving moved to approve the application. Mr. Fischer seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

The Board agreed that other options should be considered noting that the code currently requires the property owner to choose a hard-surface coating such as asphalt, concrete, pervious concrete or 6 inches of crushed coquina shell rock. Unless the code is changed the Board has to approve any surfacing that meets that requirement.

Mr. Fischer suggested that the Council review the ordinance and consider whether they want to change the existing requirement.
