Trauger, Vice Chairman Ronald Arena Richard Lambert Mrs. Mary Schorr Garry Winter Carmen Annunziato, City Planner ~BSENT M~rs. Mariiyn Huckie (Excused) Chairman Ryder called the meeting to order at 9:00 Po M. Mr. Annunziato explained the responsibility of the Local Planning Agency to act as a guiding body for the production of the comprehensive plan. It will be a comprehensive plan which they will recommend to the City Council. M~. Annunziato then told about interviewing consulting firms at the staff level per the City Manager's instructions. Mr. Annunziato advised that the next step would be to decide the scope of work to be done. He explained how it would weigh heavily on the cost of the plan and the depth this Agency w~uted to get involved. He then read the nine required ele- ments. Col. Trauger asked if this would be paid for by City funds and ~. Annunziato told about applying for funds, but he believes the City will have to pay. Chairman Ryder asked what guidelines had been set down for the depth and scope of the comprehensive plan and ~. Annun- ziato replied that general guidelines have been offered, but the development of the plan is left to the Local Planning Agency. He explained how the objectives must be reasonable, financially consistent and coordinated with all levels of V ~ go ernmen ~o Chairman Ryder asked to what extent their control would be in the reserve area and M~. Annunziato replied that joint plan- ning was permitted subject to formal agreement. He referred to Boca Raton doing this now and also to Boynton Beach having had minor input into the land use plan~for the reserve annexa- tion area. He explained how he could find no fault with the County land use plan and it was possible for the City to sub- mit a plan, but the final approval will come from the Board of County Co~missioners. Mr. Lambert referred to recommending to the City Council for the City to enter into an agreement with the County regarding this planning and ~. Annunziato MINUTES LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE ~¥0 ~¥ 24, 1977 informed him that it went to Council and was approved, but he is not sure they knew the extent of the approval as the Interlocal Agreement did not come about. This was discussed and it was agreed it should be followed up. Chairman Ryder referred to the funds available and the depth the consulting firms could go into and asked if the consul- tants were going to submit proposals and Mr. Annunziato ex- plained that he had prepared a work program and believes the consultants will estimate the cost of the program. They discussed further the availability of City funds and Mr. Annunziato told about applying for Federal funds, but not hs~ing been successful which does not eliminate the City from complying. Mr. Lambert asked if Mr. Annunziato had approached anyone in the City about where the funds would come from and M~~. Annunziato told about reference made to unencumbered surplus and also the entire project could be extended over two budget periods. Chairman Ryder referred to Mr. Kohl transferring funds in various instsmces and told about Boca Raton and Delrsj Beach being much further ahead in the area of p!anning~and he believes if we find~he required scope is going to be limited because of money, it is up to us-~to strongly let the Council know how we feel. He feels we must come up with this plan and it should be prepared in depth and be a definite contribution to the City. The rate of growth ws~rants it and we should make up for lost time. He stressed that the Planning & Zoning Board must prevail on the Co~ucil to make the funds available to go with this. Mr. Lambert suggested that possibly the Agency should meet with the City Council and City Manager and discuss this thoroughly. Mr. Annunziato asked whether the Board wanted to go beyond the nine required elements right now? He added that it was their option and he read again the nine elements. Col. Trauger replied that they certainly would want to go into some of the others. They discussed further the others. ~. Annunziato then explained that this land use plan would take on the authority of the zoning map when adopted. This law was very progressive in the State of Florida and nation- wide. The decisions made are subject to reviewa~nually and everyone is tied in. There can be no rezonings contrary to the plan without going through the procedures of altering the plan with public hearings, etc. ~. Lambert cls~ified that it was similar to what we have now, but on a larger scale and ~. Annunziato agreed, but it will be called the land use plan and not a zoning map. Mr. Lambert stated that basically what he thought would be done is the consultants will take our existing zoning map and the unincorporated areas and put it altogether and MINUTES LOCAL P!~&N'NING AGENCT PAGE TS~EE ~Y 24, 1977 coordinate the whole pac~kage. We have been concerned within the City limits and they must tie in the whole thing. Annunziato replied that it depended to what extent the Coun- cil and Board of County Commissioners get involved. ~. Lambert referred to it being coordinated with all m~nici- palities and we should know what is going to happen in the future. ~. Annunziato asked again if they wanted to limit the ele- ments in the plan to those required. He added that if it becomes evident through the production of the plan, which will certainly take a year with meetings, etc., that the need or demand arises to expand past the nine elements, the Local Planning Agency may then want to make reco~endations to the Council. They discussed further the other elements and particularly the two additional ones required for cities with over 50,000 population. M~. Annunziato asked again if they wanted to leave it with the nine required elements at this point smd Col. Trauger requested that the others be read. M~. Annunziato read the suggested ones and added that anything could be added that they wanted. Col. Trauger re- ferred to,the City being behind and also explained how he thought the public service thing wasa!quite important. Chairman Ryder asked if any of the other cities had engaged consultants and what their scopes have been and ~. Annunziato informed him that Delray Beach has limited it to the nine required elements. Chairman Ryder asked if there was an estimate of the fee and ~. Annunziato replied that he thought they were talking about a minimal figure of $30,000. He referred to the first two elements being land use and housing and exolained how they would be very expensive. He added that Boynton should have been considering these things since 1975. Chairman Ryder referred to the growth having been exceptional within the past five years and ~. Annunziato agreed. M~s. Schorr asked if they had received the map from the County and Mr. Annunziato replied that he had and it pro- vides for 40,000 units in the Boynton Beach reserve area. M~. Lambert asked where this plan stood at the present time and ~. Annunziato informed him that it had not gone before the Board of County Commissioners yet. ~. Lambert questioned the procedure if it was approved and Mr. Annunziato informed him that it must be coordinated County-wide through public hearings. M~. Lambert referred to the possibility of paying money for a p!am. the same as passe~ by the County and ~. Annunziato agreed this could happen, but the County will be required to have public hearings which we could object to. He added that he has looked at the plan mad finds very little fault. The densities have been reduced where they should have and bull2 up where they should have and he explained. However, it still must be coordinated with the City plan. M±NUTLS LOCAL PLA!~ING AGENCY PAGE FOUR ~_Y 24, 1977 Chairman Ryder told about the experiences of Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. M~. Annunziato stated they would not be locked into the nine elements, but would know what they have to do and what it would cost to get off the ground. In working with the con- sultants, it may be worthwhile to add additibnal. He would like a motion stating the Local Planning Agency would like to start with these nine elements and enter negotiations. Mr. Lambert made a motion that the City Planner proceed with negotiations with the consulting firm to develop the nine elements as prescribed by the Local Government Planning Act, which are considered to be the absolute minimum with regards to scope. Col. Trauger seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0. Mr. Lambert asked if they were going to meet as the Local Planning Agency after every Planning & Zoning Board meeting and M~. Annunziato replied that it depended on the topic and time. ~. Annunziato then told about a House Bill which has come through retroactively removing all reserve annexation areas and advised that a letter was sent to the Legislative Dele- gation and they notified Delray Beach and Boca Raton. M~. Lambert asked if the City would still have to provide ser- vices and M~. Annunziato replied that this was not mentioned. Col. Trauger made a motion to adjourn, seconded by M~~. Arena. Motion carried 6-0 and the meeting was properly adjourned at 9:40 P. M. Res pec tfutty submit ted, Suzanne M. Kruse Recording Secretary (One Tape) Date: j~_May Time:-~7:30 P,M.

NEW BUS Ih~SS Public Hearing An Ordinance of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida, amending Section 6(~&) (1) of Appendix A - Zoning Regulations, of the codifie~ Ordinances of said City, to provide for establishment of crematoriums under zoning C-1 as a conditional use; providing for auth- ority to codify, savings clause, repealing provision, an effective date and for other purposes. Chairman Ryder read Item ~-C of Section 6 on Page 23 of the Zoning Regulations and clarified that this proposed ordinance was to include funeral homes with crematoriums subject to conditional use. He then asked for ~. Annunziato's comments. Mr. Annunziato stated that this proposal was forwarded to the Board by the City Council per a reeuest from Mr. Combs who feels a change in technology would not make this objection- able. His recommendation is to include it as a conditional use which he believes will be in accordance with the Council's wishes. MINUTES P~NNING & ZONING B0~MD P~GE TWO 24, 1977 Col. Trauger asked if this came up at the request of ~. Combs only and ~qr. ~Annunziato replied: yes. Mrs. Schorr added that it was in the C-3 zone. Chairman Ryder referred to Bethesda Hospital requesting something similar and ~. Annunziato agreed and added that it was permitted as an ac- cessory use. Chairman Ryder stated they were concerned about the discharge of gasses, odors, etc. ~ud were told at that time that to a great extent it is pretty much minimized now. ~. Annunziato pointed out that it was proposed as a condi- tional use and this type of evidenCe must be presented with an application. Chairman Ryder referred to making a point previously that the stack must be at least 10 ft. above the roofs of surrounding homes and this consideration would come under conditional use and ~. Annunziato agreed. ~. Lambert added that hopefully the technology has come to being ~%~.o~jection- able, but with conditional use they are able to consider this and if it is a problem,it could be disallowed or a request made that the stack be higher. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone in the ~' ~ ~umme~ce desired to speak in favor of this proposed ordinance a~d received no response. He thea asked if anyone wished to speak in oppo- sition and received no response. Col. Trauger referred to the memorial park~having a cremator- ium and Mr. Annunziato replied that this was not in the City. Mms. Schorr told about the memorial park being in the City at one tLme and also referred to there being a crematorium in Delray Beach and asked why one was needed here? ~. Lambert stated that Mr. Don Combs had just arrived and asked if he desired to speak. ~. Don Combs appeared before the Board ~ud stated he was just present to answer any ques- tions. Chairman Ryder asked how this would be accomplished and ~. Combs explained that it was a completely packaged self-contained unit which meets all environmental require- ments. The company will send engineers to testify what it will or will not do. He has a warehouse in the rear where he is anticipating putting this. Chairman Ryder asked if details would be presented to the Board and ~m. Annunziato replied that if this becomes an ordinance, submission is per conditional use and a public hearing will be held. Mr. Lambert asked if a crematoriBm was mentioned in any other zoning ~ad M~. Annunziato replied that it w~s only specifi- cally excluded in C-1. Mr. Lambert made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Board recommend the City' Council adopt the proposed ordinsmce amending Section 6 (A) (1) of the Zoning Regulations to pro- vide for the establishment of crematoriums as a conditional use in the C-t zone. Col. Trauger seconded the motion. MINUTES PLA~ING & ZONING BOARD PAGE TI~E P2~.Y 24, 1 977 Under discussion, ?~. Lambert referred to the ordinance re- ferring to the C-1 zone?only and asked if it would have a pyramiding effect and M~. Annunziato replied: yes. Motion carried 6-0. Site Plan Completion of Three Warehouse Bays 523 Industrial Avenue Jim Edwards, Applicant The members reviewed the plan and then Chairman Ryder re- quested input from M~. Annunziato. ~. Annunziato pointed out these proposed warehouse bays were currently being used as open sand and gravel bays. .When they were constructed, it was with the intent of enclosing them. During the inter- ium,~ the ordinance was changed not permitting construction, but a provision for this use was provided in the non-conform- ing section and is per~mitted if the non-conformity is not enlarged. The stemwalls were buil~, the columns in place, and the steel extended from the columns with the intent to do this. Mr. Jim Edwards appeared before the Board. Chairman Ryder asked if the walls were erected with the necessary footing so they could be completed and M~. Edwards replied: yes. ~. Lambert asked when it was originally built and ~. Edwards r ~' ~ep~med about five years ago. Chairman Ryder ques- tioned the purpose of the pagoda in the center and Mr. Edwards informed him it was a small office with garage space below. M~. Annmnziato informed the Board that the only comment from the staff is that the final plan meet the handicapped re- ~ou~d be. quirements and Col. Trauger questioned What this ~ ~ Mr. Annunziato replied that it could be the bathrooms, but one parking space for handicapped parking has definitely been indicated. Mr. Lambert referred to these being ware- houses ~d not being open to t._e public and as~ed how it could be required to designate a handicapped parking space and Mr. Annunziato replied that he could not answer, but this was 'required by the Building Dept. After further dis- cussion, Mr. Lambert requested Mr. Annunziato to find about this requirement in this particular instance. Chairman Ryder clarified that the rear setback was not perti- nent and Mr. Annunziato agreed in that the non-conforming ordin~uce foresaw this type of problem and does permit alter- ation or construction as long as the non-conformity is not incr~ased and this obviously was planned with the erection of the walls. MI~JTES PLANNING & ZONING BO~D PAGE FOUR M~Y 24, t977 Mr. Arena questioned why it must be approved with the handi- capped requirement bud Mr. Annunziato clarified that this was indicating to the applicant that something is required. Col. Trauger added that the Board has always accepted plans with comments. M~. Lambert added that the Building Depart- ment does not always list every comment. ~. Annunziato clarified that comments affecting the site plan were listed. Mx. Lambert asked if he knew it was specifically in regards to a parking space and M~. Annunziato replied that he be- lieved so. Col. Trauger moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the site plan for the completion of three warehouse bays at 523 Industrial Avenue with Jim Edwards being the appli- cant, subject to the note of the Building Dept. ~r. Lambert seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0. Final Plat Lake Worth Mariner Village East of U. S. 1 between lOth ~venue a_nd N. E. 12th Avenue Chairman Ryder referred to this coming before the Board several times and requested an explanation from Annunziato referred to this plat being fa~iiar to most of the members and advised that it had been reco~mmended for approv~k by the Board and approved by the City Council, but the bond was not officially posted and the plat expired. The appli- cant asked for it to be resubmitted, so it was run through the staff and must come back to this Board, since S~me of the principles have been ch~aged and the platting documents were never endorsed by the Planning & Zoning Board Chairman. The staff finds it meets or exceeds all ordinance requirements and recommends approval. Col. Trauger asked when it was before the Planning & Zoning Board previously and Mrs. Schorr reolied that the ordinance had second reading on August 17, ~9~6 and ~. Annunziato added that it was probably before the Board in April or May, ~ 976. Chairman Ryder asked if there were any prob!en~ and ?~. Annunziato replied: none. He added that there were some problems, but explained how they had been resolved. He commented that a number of the lots would require the house to be two stories to get the area for the house. It is zoned R-3 which permits R-1 specifications, 6,000 sq. feet per lot. Mr. Lambert questioned the percentage which would be two story houses and Mr. innunziato replied there were quite a few, but he did not remember the exact number. He added that i~ was a difficult piece of land to work with. ~. Lambert asked if the small lots had been corrected and Mr. MINUTES PL£~NIISG & ZONING BOARD PAGE FIVE ~Y 24, 1977 Annunziato replied: yes and explained. Col. Trauger asked if the lots were all bulk?headed smd Mr. Annunziato reolied that most are and those which have not will be. ~Ms. ~chorr asked if they were filling to the bulkhead line and Mr. Annunziato replied: yes, they have to~'fill out to the bulk- head line. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone was present representing the applicant. ~v~. Jay J. Reynolds of the Law Firm of Reynolds & Marchbanks, Boca Raton, appeared before the Board. He intro- duced two gentlemen with him and stated they were present to answer questions. He explained how the property was taken back and they have tried to cooperate with the City of Boynton Beach and have made changes as required by the staff. They ask for approval of this plat. Chairman Ryder referred to the bulkheading sad Mr. Reynolds informed him the bulkheading has been approved by the Corps. of Engineers. Mr. Vandermeer explained how an extensive investigation was made by the Corps. of Engineers and they have complied with everything. The permits have been issued. He explained how' they had the land a long time and the other group spent thousands of dollars, but neglected to post a bond and in the i~terim they had problem~ and we were forced to take it back ~ud start over. They have gone into detail to comply with all the requirements. P~. Reynolds also told about having an ecological study. Mr. Lambert asked about the old building there and ~. Vander- meer informed him they would use this as~an office at first and it will be torn down within a year's time. M~. Lambert made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Board recommend approval of the final plat of Lake Worth Mariner Village located east of U. S. 1 betweem~N. E. ~Oth Avenue and N. E. 12th Avenue. ~. Winter seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0. ~. Reynolds referred to the previous site plan and the dis- cussion of requiring handicapped parking and informed the Board that the State Legislature passed a law stating in all public and quasi-public places, there must be provided therein parking spaces for the handicapped. Also, in public estab- lishments, bathrooms must be redesigned for the handicapped. M~. Lambert still questioned this requirement and M~. Annun- ziato informed him that ~h~. Edwards' place was public with having an office there. Mr. Arena remarked that he thought it should be more specific when there is a comment like that noted. MIhrGTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE SIX MA~2 24, 1977 Discussion School Proposal Chairman Ryder referred to a proposal prepared by ~. Annun- ziato to be included in Section 5 under R-1AAA, Page 16, which was prepared because questions have come up wt~ere and in what instances schools will be provided for. ~. Annunziato referred to the Board asking him to prepare a proposal for treatment of schools in the zoning ordinance subject to con- ditional use and clarified that it was necessary to alter 5Atb to specifically exclude schools as an accessory use from churches. In his proposal, schools are not to be con- sidered aa an accessory use to places of worship. He also explained how he had added language to Section 5Flc on Page 20 to make nursery schools conditional uses in R-2. He added that he felt it was necessary to continue this into the com- mercial district to make it work in all dimensions. He then read additional Sections K and L to be added on Page 23. He clarified that schools would be permitted in all residential and commercial districts, but prohibited from industrial dis- tricts, which he thinks was the intent of the Board. Mrs. SChorr asked if schools would be included in the P.I.D. and M~. Annunziato replied: no. Mr. Lambert asked why they were keeping schools out of the industrial district and Mr. Annunziato explained how he felt the P~i.D. should be for industrial purposes and adequate potential has been provided for locating schools in other districts. ~. Winter asked about correctional schools and M~. Annunziato replied that he did not work these into the language and asked if the'Board would like this considered. Col. Trauger referred to correctional schools being pretty rare and Mr. Winter insisted they were still schools. Mr. Lambert clarified that all schools were permitted in residential and commercial zones strictly as conditional use and M~. Annunziato stated that nursery schools were permitted in the R-2 zone up, M~. Annunziato asked if thms proposal satisfied the intent of the Board and the~members replied affirmatively. Col. Trauger referred to the proposal being added as an addendum and Mr. Annunziato stated he would Prefer to alter the ~xt. He ex- plained that the procedure was to recommend the proper ordi- nances be prepared at the Council level and it will have to come back to the Planning & Zoning Board and City Council. Col. Trauger moved that the Planning & Zoning Board accept the changes to the Planning & Zoning Regulations as presented pertaining to Section. 5 and Section 6 as to the location of school facilities. Mr. Lambert seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0. MINUTES PLA~$~ING & ZONING BOARD PAGE SEVEN MAY 24, 1977 Lou Preiditsch - Setbacks R-3 Z~ne Chairman Ryder announced a request had been received from Mr. Lou Preditsch, who has been here previously, to appear before the Board in regards to setbacks in the R-3 zone. ~. Lou Preiditsch appeared before the Board and referred to the last time when they discussed the erosion of the side setbacks, etc. in the R-3 Zone. He stated that the present R-3 zoning does not allow 4~ usage of the old platted lots and requests that these lots be amended to R-3A having a front of 25 ft., rear 20 ft., and side lines of 15 ft. The unplatted raw land can conform to the present R-3 requirements. His Wife owns property on which she would-like to build a condo- minium for senior citizens and the handicapped, which they would like to move to since she has been in a wheelchair for 15 years. He read the requirements from five surrounding towns ~d the land use allowed. He showed preliminary plans for the building and explained how it would be designed in accordance with the Regulatory Agency for the Handicapped. M~. Arena clarified that the request was actually for relief on a certain piece of property and suggested that ~L~. Preiditsch appeal to the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Preiditsch replied that he has gone before many Bosa~ds during the years and be- lieves the proper way to go about it is to appear before the Planning Board and see if the property can be made conforming. The members studied the plans and discussed the location. M~. Lambert referred to the possibility of redesigning the buildings to fit on the property and ~. Preiditsch explained that he was trying to design them to give as much as possible to the purchasers and referred again to other towns allowing more area to work with. He added that it has been zoned for 28 units, but he would prefer not to build them. Mr. Lambert asked if he was requesting the entire ordinance to be changed and ~. Preiditsch replieS: no, just the seg- ment of the old lots. ~. Lambert replied that the Board could not do this and Chairman Ryder added that they must consider whether it will be in the general interest to do it. It must be considered how this would not just be confined to his property. He explained how the Board of Adjustment had the power to grant variances on such requests. Mr. Preiditsch explained how the old platted lots would have difficulty conforming to the 40 ft. setbacks. He added that he would be allowed to put 28 apartments on this property, but feels his plan would be better use of the property. ~. Annunziato informed him that the l~ad could be redeveloped into lots for duplexes or single family homes. He added that the R-3 ordinance works well on large trac%s of land, MINUTES PLAR~ING & ZONI2~G BOARD PAGE EIGHT ~lY 24, 1977 but does not preclude the possibility of using small lots. If it is impracticable for R-3 uses, it can be dropped to other use. There would be a hardship if the land could not be used. ~. Lambert suggested again that he take his re- quest to the Board of Adjustment. Mx. Preiditsch told about being familiar with this area and how they couldn't do anything with many of the lots. Mr. Lambert explained how the Board of Adjustment could grant approval by motion, but this Board does not have that power and isaa recommending body to the City Council. ~ir. Preiditsch replied that he would like the feeling of this Bos~d and then would go before the City Council and Board of Adjustment. Mr. Lambert informed him that all that was necessary was to apply to the Board of Adjustment. Chairman Ryder clarified that he was trying to get this Board to change the ordinance and Mm. ITeiditsch replied that it has been changed many times at the drop of a hat. ~. Annunziato stated'that as far as the Board was concerned, there was no obligation to make. No official site plans have been submitted. M~. Preiditsch referred to submitting pre- liminary plans and Mr. Annunziato clarified that he offered him the option to go before the Board under discussion and he made a presentation. The Board's responsibility has been to recommend appealing to the Board of Adjustment if there is a hardship. Col. Trauger moved that the Planning & Zoning Board does not intend to entertain a motion for the amendment of the R-3 Zone and accepts ~fr. Preiditsch's comments with thanks. Mm. Lambert seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Arena stated he didn't think the Board should get involved and Mx. Lambert clarified that the intent of the motion was that the Board has gone into this in depth and does not intend to change the R-3 zoning. Mr. Arena stated he didn't thi~ it s~ould be this definite. Col. Trauger replied that there was no cause to change the zoning regulation at this time. Chair- man Ryder asked if questions were going to be raised by the Council and if they were going to do anything with it and Col. Trauger clarified that it was not a reco~endation to the Council. ~. Arena stated he could not acceot Mr. Preiditsch's comments with thanks and Col. Trauger explained that he made the motion to get it off the agenda. ~. Arena stated that a private citizen wanted discussion with the Board and comments were made and he does not see any reason to make reference to changing the R-3 zone. Mr. Lambert referred to M~~. Preiditsch's request to know the Board,s position and Mr. Preiditsch stated that he be- lieved a reason should be given for not changing it. He appeared here to discuss it and get to a point where he could do something. Col. Trauger referred to the presentation being a proposal to change the R-3 zoning. ~. Lambert asked for MIh~JTES PLA~¥NiNG & ZONING BOARD PAGE NINE M~_Y 24, 1977 M~. Annunziato's comments and Mx. Annunziato replied that he didn~t think the Board had to make ar~ formal motion on this at all. He believes their suggestion to seek relief from the Board of Adjustment was in order. Col. Trauger then withdrew his motion and Mr. Lambert withdrew the second. M~. Preiditsch referred to the previous plans presented and Mr. Annunziato suggested that he discuss particular instances with him in his office. _Mr. Preiditsch stated he would like to discuss it here and Chairman Ryder informed him it was not the place and he does not think it-should be discussed by the Board and the City Planner has extended an invitation to him to discuss it further in his office. Sg~0Pe~ ~°~ Wo. rk ~ Pxogr~.~m .for .C°mprehensive Plan M~. Annunziato suggested that the Board discuss this program as the Local Planning Agency and Chairman Ryder suggested that the Planning & Zoning Board meeting be adjourned and a separate meeting be conducted as the Local Planning Agency. Discussion of Public Hearings. for Moving Zoning Line ~. Lambert referred to the Council feeling that public hear- ings should be h~la in the future for moving zoning lines and Mr. Annunziato agreed and stated that in the future, he would strongly recommend that the person seek rezoning. Chairman Ryder told about the Co~ucil's review and stated he got the impression they decided a oublic hearing was necessary. M~. Lambert referred to a slight variation in the lot line and asked if a rezoning application must be filed and Mr. Annunziato explained how it would be thoroughly covered by the ordinance rezoning land since a public heisting was re- quired. Mr. Lambert referred to having a provision in the code stating a public hearing was not necessary and it was discussed whether this should be changed. Chairman Ryder suggested that they think about it further and see if it happens in the future. Adjournment ~. Lambert moved to adjo~mrn, seconded by Col. Trauger. · Motion carried 6-0 and the meeting was properly adjourned at 8:59 P. M. Respectfully submitted, Suzanne M. Zruse Recording Secretary ( 1~,~ o Tapes) Planning and Zoning Board: Mr. Chairman, on my last appearance before this Board you requested that I bring a plan for use of my wife's property. Due to the set backs required, present R.3 zoning does not allow 40% usage of old platted lots, a request to amend these lots to R3A having a front of 25', rear 20', side lines 15'. Unplatted raw land can conform to present R.3 requirements. As per your prior request to submit a set of plans, you will find plot plan and floor plans.
