Minutes 01-28-75 PUBLIC HEARING AND MINUTES OF THE/REGULAR MF~TING OF THE PLA~ING & ZONING BOARD HELD AT CITY HALL, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1975 AT 7:30 P- M. PRESENT Joseph T. Kelly, Chairman Col. Walter M. Trauger, Vice Chairman Mrs. Marilyn Huckle Oris Walker John Rogers Mrs. Vicky Castello Enrico Rossi Jack Barrett, Bldg. Official Warren Bushnell, Deputy Bldg. Official Chairman Kelly welcomed the ladies and gentlemen present to the second regular meeting ~ the month of January of the Planning & Zoning Board combined with the public hearing, which has been properly advertised. He called the meeting to order at 7:35 P. M. and introduced the members of the Board; ~+~. Bushnell, Deputy Building Official; and Mr. Barrett, Building Official and Acting City Planner, standing by the map to note any changes per requests. He then asked the members of the City Council in the audience to stand and take a bow and he welcomed Mayor Roberts, Councilwoman Jack- son and Councilman Strnad. Chairman Kelly then announced that Mr. Walter Dutch had re- quested permission to open the meeting with a little state- ment on the philosophy of zoning. Mr. Walter Dutch stated his name and his address as 100 South Federal Highway, Boyn- ton Beach. By way of introduction, he stated that he has been a member of the Planning & Zoning Board in the past. He was a member of the Planning Board when it separated and also a member of the Zoning Board when it separated and also a member when it was jo~_ned back together. Mr. Dutch stated he had two questions relating to commercial zones in Boynton Beach. He first referred to the map which was sent with the notice of this meeting having the zoning areas marked out. On the map, he noticed that the 1-95 inter- changes were not indicated at Ocean Avenue nor 15th Avenue. With the fact that the interchanges were not included, he looked a little further in reference to the weight of the commercial areas on Ocean Avenue. He referred to having travelled on ma~y interstate highways and the fact that most interchanges have developed with low er middle forms of commercial areas around them. They all follow this pattern to accommodate all the cars that go e~.and, off the inter- changes. With C-1 on one side of Ocean Avenue and C-2 on the other side, he sees no way to do this. He smg~ested there should be a much greater weight to this 1-95 inter- change. He has two properties in this particular s~ea, one will be in conformance and the other will not. He ques- tioned whether this had been studied. Mr. Barrett advised MINUTES ~ANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE T~O JA~UARY 28, 1975 him that there would be no interchange on Ocean Avenue, but one would be on 2nd Avenue. Mr. Dutch replied that he did mean 2nd Avenue and not Ocean Avenue. Mr. Barrett continued advising him that the Board did review the interchanges and the zoning which is applied is deliberate, inasmuch as it is not k~own how this will be developed. It is always open for a zoning change. The remedy is there in an application for rezoning. Mro~ Dutch replied that he didn't buy this. The situation is happening all over the State of Florida by abus- ing the owners of property. Their right is taken away and then it is stated that we can fight to get it back. He re- ferred to a piece of property which he owns stating seven encroachments have been made by political subdivisions. They have taken his property away from him notch by notch. He stated again that he disagreed with Mr. Barrett im stat- ing he could appeal his way out of this. The pattern o.f the interchanges is set. He thinks the Board's philosophy is wrong. Mr. Walker asked what property he was referring to and Mr. Dutch replied it was Lots 1 and 12 on N.W. 2nd Avenue, west of the railroad, on the north side, both sides of N.W. 7th Court. It is about 300 feet from the point of touchdown of the ramp.. Mr. Walker asked how this property was zoned under the existing zoning and Mr. Dutch informed him it was C-1. It still is C-1, but it is upgraded so he cannot put in services for the turnpike. ~. Dutch referred to his second question stating they have five commercial zones now, which he thinks are several too many. He then read the land requirements in the various commercial zones. He then referred to downtown Boynton Beach being about 70~.~ to 80% developed east of 1-95. This part of the commercial areas are fairly well developed. To zone this part of town is like~l'~aying games. He did this ten to fif- teen years ago and they found they were playing numbers and games and were accomplishing zero, as the town was so highly developed. He is not critical of the zoning going west as it is completely necessary; but for the downtown commercial area, this almost goes to waste. He spent six months on this area alone also. Out west of town and in the undeveloped areas, the planning and zoning is critically important and should be done now before it is developed. Things, times and conditions make you change your pattern though, but you cannot do this with downtown as it is already developed. What you are doing is upgrading zoning. In five or ten years from now, you will have a slum downtown. You will make almost all of the developed properties downtown non- conforming just on the lot size alone. He gave an examPle o£ his office being on a 25 ft. lot and if he wanted to M!~UTES P~L~NNiNG & ZONING BOARD PAGE THREE JANUARY 28, 1975 enclose his carport and add another office, he could not get a permit under this zoning as it is non-conforming. Since he cannot do this, his property depreciates. Nr. Barrett replied that this has been considered. He was~sorry that Mr. Dutch did not have a copy of the zoning regulations, as there are only four commercial areas. A~y commercial area can be developed to a general pattern. Written into the regulations is the fact that this zoning code must be re- viewed every three years. He then referred to his particu- lar property and ~ot being allowed a permit and advised that it would not be allowed because of insufficient parking space and not being non-conforming. Mr. Dutch referred to other non-conforming properties and questioned if it wasn't a gen- eral rule that non-conforming buildings cannot be improved and Mr. Barrett replied: yes, that is generally true. ~. Barrett pointed out again that the permit would not be denied on a non-conforming basis in his particular case, but because of the parking area. They do require off-street parking to eliminate traffic problems. ~. Dutch thanked the men, ers for listening and stated he hoped they would take into consideration what he brough~ to their attention. He added he thinks they should consider all existing zoning with placing it into non-conforming zoning. Chairman Kelly stated that the Board would take into consider- ation his remarks. Chairman Kelly stated he would like to make public just a few reasonable rules of the evening with the objective of net staying beyond the hour of 11:00. if it comes to a point where everybody from the north side present here tonight wishes to be heard and it goes much beyond 11~00, we will be willing to hear you Thursday evening. We are not going to restrict anyone to a limited time, but ask you to be rea- sortable in the amount of time you consume. A necessary- rule is that you come to the microphone and announce your name and the property about which you desire to ~peak in a sufficiently clear and leisurely manner, so the secretary can fully record it. We would like to have the legal des also the subdivision if you are aware oi and lot number if possible and if not, m of the property. We have spent consider this proposed ordinance. We know it is merit though. ~nere will be no decisions cription involved and it, also the block t least the address able time going over not a perfect docu- tonight if made someone asks for a change, but we will study it. When we make a decision, we will write a letter to each one coming before the microphone and advise him of the decision. He then requested the people to come forward to be heard. MINUTES PLAITING & ZONING BOARD PAGE FOUR JAR~U~/RY 28, 1 975 Mr. Hank Thompson stated his name and referred to the parcel of property described as west 250' of lots 57 mud 58, lots 51 thru 57 inclusive, less north 100' of south 300' of east 300' of lot 65, and less 50' of lot 61, 62, 63, 64, 67 of Sections 29 and 20, Township 45, south range 45 east, City of Boynton Beach. He showed an aerial .photo to help identify the property located at North Congress Avenue and North Boyn- ton Road and added that it was north of the Villager ShoppinE Center. He stated he came before the Board because he felt that perhaps an error might have be~n made in the line of delineation on the map because less than three years ago, the City Council and Planning & Zoning Board zoned this C-I in its entirety. He noticed that when he received the new map, a line was drawn splitting this not quite in half. He thought probably they meant to follow the road, which is a natural buffer. It was zoned C-l and the City Council passed Ordinance 71-26 and he feels that perhaps an error was made in the map making. It has now been shown as C-3 and R-1AA, which, of course, would be very objectionable. It appears at this time that it should all be zoned C-3. ~. Barrett stated that he recorded . the map for the Board's con- sideration. Mrs. Huckle oned if the name of the small road was Hoadley Road an ompson replied: yes. Chair- man Kelly thanked him and .Mr. thanked the members for listening and ~asked if he would hear further from them and ~. Barrett replied: yes. Mr. Keith Granger stated his name and his address as 312 N. E. 17th Avenue and that he represented the Four Seasons Condominium Development located on 3rd Court just.north of 16th Avenue. He informed the Board that on the old map lots 27 and 28, 16 and 17, 19 and 20, plus 4 and 5 in the condominium were zoned R-3. On the new maD, they are taken out and zoned for single family residences. They have a four apartment building on one lot. On lots 28 and 27, the street is not in there and would not have to 'be in there if left as it is. Lot 27 wO~ld be a blocked-in lot if it is changed. They would like to leave these lots as they were originally zoned. The last zoning was on October 21, !969 on Lots 27 and 28 and the first zoning was on December 21, 1965. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated the secretary had recorded his request. Mr. Kenneth H. Adams stated his name and his address as 610 N.E. 4th Avenue and presented a deed to the Chairman. He stated that the deed deeds a piece of property to the City of Boynton Beach for the consideration of the City issuing a permanent right to build a public building any time in the future. My property has been reclassified as being in another zoning. This is located in the R. S. Merritt Sub- division, Lots 7 thru 12 inclusive. To change the zoning MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE FI%~E J~NUARY 28, 1975 now would not only be a hardship, but a breach of contract. Chairman Kelly questioned if any buildings were located on this property and Mr. Adams replied: yes, the little houses. Mrs. Huckle questioned the present zoning and Mr. Adams ad- vised her it was C-2 and he requests it be left in this same zone which also goes around it. They just changed the corner where he is and it should just be left as it was. Chairman Kelly stated that his request has been recorded and they have the deed and a reconsideration will be given to his request. Mr. Stephen Kochakien stated his name and his address as 413 N. E. 3rd Avenue. He informed the Board that he and three local businessmen had purchased Lots 73, 74 and 74A, .Arden Park, located on N. E. 6th~Avenue about 300 feet west of 3rd Avenue for possible offices or an investment; but due to economic conditions, they have been unable to build. At the present time, the current zoning is C-2. There are warehouses east and south of this property. The property is 145 ft. by 125 ft. and it is one block from the railroad and it has now been rezoned R-2. Due to the surrounding buildings, they would appreciate if this would be reconsidered under this new zoning. He added that he mentioned it being 300 ft. west of 3rd Street i~ that this 300 ft. already has com- mercial buildings on it. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated that his remarks have been recorded and will be given consideration. Chairman Kelly noted Mr. Ralph Kelly present in the a~dience and announced that the regular business to consider his site plan had been postponed until 11:00 after the public hearing. Mr. Bill DaCamera stated his name and his address as 836 East Drive. He informed the Board he was speaking for Dr. H. G. Huddle and in reference to Lots t8, 19, 20 and 21, Block 7, Lake Addition, recorded in Plat Book Il, Page 71, public records of Palm Beach County. This property has been zoned R-3 for apartments for some time. This property adjoins the Harbor Club Building to the north. For some reason, you brought the line down on the new map not only to put these four lots into the residential single family zone, but also included the condominiums adjoining. He stated he was against the change from R-3 to R-lA and would not be able to use it.' Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated that his remarks have been recorded and will be given consideration. F=. Forest Hangge stated his name and that he represented Hangge Motel. He stated that the motel was located in Block 5, Lake Addition, Lots 19, 20, 21 and 22. He stated this was shown as R-lA on the new map and was previously zoned R-3. This new zoning does not suit a motel. ~s. Huckle asked where this was located and Mr. Hangge informed her it was 614-624 N. E. 8th Amenue. Chairman Kelly thsmked him and stated that his remarks have been recorded and will be given consideration. MI~JTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE SIX JANUARY 28, 1975 Mm. Paul Wesson stated his name and that he represented Storybook D~ Care Center, 393 ~aer Road. He stated that the new map ends ~ner Road at Ocean Parkway, but M~ner Road has been continued to Seacrest now. He understands they have taken out three houses on Miner Road and two on the parkway. He would like the Board to consider extending the line straight down Miner Road. He and his son have 240' frontage on Miner Road and they are planning to build on. Mr. Walker remarked that he believed they were consid- ering this parcel. Cha~_rman Kelly thanked him and stated that his remarks have been recorded and will be given con- si~eration. Mr. Ralph Kelly stated his n~me and his address as 532 N. E. 22nd Avenue, which is Lots 3 and 4 in Royal Palm Village. He presently has a request in for a building permit on this property. He bought the property in t970 and planned to build in 1971, but financial conditions made him wait and he also ran into the moratorium.~ He is hopeful there won't be any problems when his plans are discussed tonight. He asked if this property went into the proposed C-3 zoning if he would still meet the requirements? Chairman Kelly advised him that in most cases they have pyramided. That is the principle they have operated on. He thanked Mr. Kelly and stated his request would be given consideration. Mr. Paul Hemmilrich stated his name and his address as 531 East Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale. He informed the Board that he was interested in~.a piece of property on the north side of Boynton Road, east of Congress. There is about 4,000 feet of frontage, The west half is zoned pre- sently as R-3 and the east half is C-1. This is bordered on the north by the canal and on the south by Boynton Road. He has assembled this parcel f~om several property owners to build a shopping center when 1-95 opens. He would appreciate C-1 zoning, which would greatly help their plans, ~p~us C-1 zoning surrounds it. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated that his remarks have been recorded and will be given con- sideration. Mrs. John Balker gave her name and her address as 707 N. E. 9th ~venue, Lake Addition. She advised the Board that she has been living here for twenty years and most people living in this subdivision would like it to remain at R-lA. Chair- man Kelly clarified that this was the area around 6th to 8th Streets, east of the highway, and stated he saw what she meant. He thanked her and stated her remarks have been re- corded and will be considered. M~ss Alberta King stated her name and her address as t213 N. W. 4th Street, Lot 396 and 397, Cherry Hill. She in- formed the Board that she owns a grocery store and would MI~U'TE$ PLMCNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE SEVEN JANUARY 28, 1975 like to know if this has been affected by the rezoning? _Mr. Barrett advised that the new zoning was R-3. Chairman Kelly asked what the present zoning was and Miss King re- plied, that it was C-1. Chairman Kelly asked if her request was to have it stay that way and Miss King replied: yes. Chairman Kelly thanked her and stated that her remar~ have been recorded and will be given consideration. Mr. Barrett pointed out that it was a single isolated lot at C-1. Mr. Eric Swanson stated his name and his address as 2511N. Lake Drivel He pointed out that Lakeside Gardens was platted before 1923 and is the area east of Route 1 and at the north end of Boynton Beach. It has always been R-1AA, residential area, and that is the way the people of this area want it to remain. This subdivision is located on Lake Worth, opposite the inlet. We do not want Potter Road, Demick Drive or Lake Drive rezoned to R-3. He submitted a letter to the Chairman. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated his remarks had been recorded and woul~ be given consideration. Rev. R. M. Lee stated his name and his address as 407 N. W. 9th Avenue. He stated that he represented St. John's ~s- sionary Baptist Church located at 239 N. E. 12th Avenue. He referred to the C-1 zoning and the type of buildings allowed. He advised that he was asking for information. They have plans drawn for an educational building and he does not see anything in the zoning concerning churches. They are located in a C-2 and R-3 zone. They plan to use Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16, east of the church for off-street parking. They have lots on the west of the ch~ch and are in the process of purchasing additional lots for an educa- tional building. .How does this affect the church? Mr. Barrett stated he was glad he brought this ~p, as this is something he thinks was left out. Under normal circumstan- ces, ehurches and schools are mentioned in residential zones noting they can also be allowed in other zones. Inadvertently, it has been left out of this. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated his remarks have been recorded and will be given con- sideration. ~. Julian Patrick stated his name and his address as 2585 S. W. lOth Street, Golfview Harbor. He stated he would like to discuss several pieces of property in the Roy B. Rich Seacrest Addition which is proposed to be zoned R-2 for duplexes. He pointed out that it is currently zoned for single family residences. He pointed out the location on the ~ap. R-2 zoning will affect the character of the neigh- borhood. That is a F.H.A. platted neighborhood which is deed restricted for single family residences. People may get the wrong impression by noting the map and seeing it is MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE EIGHT JANUARl~-28, 1975 zoned R-2. The same applies in Rolling Green Ridge, second addition, which is the R-2 zone adjacent 2o the City sewer plant and north of the Boynton Canal. That area is also F.H.A. platted and deed restricted to single family. There are some R-2 lots in that area though. This would be a serious mistake for the City to make to contemplate usage that is not allowed by deed restriction. I~ this case with taking such a huge blanket area to do this, he can. see a lot of problems. He added that he also owns Boynton Academy and is interested in seeing the area staying upgraded and not going down to R-2. Mrs. Huckle asked if he noted that the definition for R-2 zoning allowed single family and ~M. Patrick replied: yes, but it also states a duplex can be built. You are telling people they can buy a piece of property in there and build a duplex, but this cannot be done as individual property owners can file to stop it. Mr. Patrick e~ntinued that as owner of Boynton Academy located at 100 N. W. 19th Avenue, C-2 section of Rolling Green Ridge. The owners of child care centers consider these to be commer- cial ventures. It is a business and as such, it is the only business in the proposed zoning ordinance which is singly picked out and set aside to be permissable in areas which are not allowed for others. You have defined nurss~ry schools to be limited to the present R-2 zoning unless there is a special act by the City Council to allow it in a higher class of zon- ing. This would also apply to regular schools and churches too. He requested that they not downgrade the ordinance in reference to location of nursery schools. He requested that they be allowed in R-2, R-3, etc., but should not be allowed in single family home areas as proposed. In the north end of town, it means that someone can come in and open a nursery school right next door to you. To change it from the way it is now in the code would be downgrading nursery schools. It would make it wide open for anyone to open a nursery school anywhere. The new State law' classifies a family day care cen- ter as a type of facility which the State licenses an individ- ual to keep up to five children in her home and after school hours, to take care of older children up to the number of ten. if you permit a child care center in residential areas, it is possibl~ for your neighbor to have ten children playing in her backyard. He feels it is very important for the welfare of owners of single family homes and also.operators of nur- sery schsols. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated his re- marks had been recorded and would be given consideration. Mro Eugene Harris stated his name and referred to Lot I8 on N. E. 12th Avenue. He informed the Board that he bought this lot in 1970 and it was zoned residential, it is located two lots off the railroad. He pl~mned to put a duplex on this lot, but found out after he bought it that he could ~ot do it. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING PAGE NINE J~NUARY 28, 1975 Since then, he has had plans drawn for a single family home. He stated he would like to know if he could put a duplex on it now? Mr. Barrett replied that he must have 9,000 square feet of lot area. Mr. Harris advised him that the lot was 95' by 40'. ~. Barrett replied that the lot would be suit- able for a single family residence only then. Chairman Kelly thanked him. Ms. Heather Williamson stated her name and that she repre- sented Law Realty located at 625 South Federal. She referred to the map stating there were two very small sections that didn't have any zoning classification at all. She pointed to just north of Boynton Road and west of Railroad Avenue. ~. Barrett advised her that in photographing the map, sever- al pieces of the tapes came off. Adjacent to the railroad, north of 2nd Avenue, it remains M-1. The lot line where the old alley used to run is C-4. Ms. Williamson thanked him and Chairman Kelly thanked her. Mr. Serge Pizzi stated his name and his address as 79 Coral Drive. He stated he has a very small lot on N. W. 6th Street, between 2nd and Ocean, Block lA, Lot 6. He thinks it was zoned C-1 or C-2, commercial, but now it is ~oned R-3. He stated he has the same objection as the first gentleman voiced. It is not a very valuable piece of land, but he believes it was the best usage they could make of it. Chair- man Kelly thank him and stated his remarks have been recorded and consideration will be given. ~. Thom~ Boffey stated his name and his address as Gulf- stream ~rina, 2280 North Federal Highway, Lot 6, Sam Brown, Jr. Subdivision. He stated he would like to reserve the right to speak on the proposed rezoning at a later date. Chairman Kelly questioned his reason and Mr. Boffey replied that he didn't fully understand the proposed zoning. Chair- man Kelly advised him that he was free at any time to con- sult Mr. Barrett and if there is any question, he will bring it before the Board. Mr. Boffey stated that it was proposed C-3 and C-4. Chairman Kelly thanked him. ~ir. Curtis tated his name and his address as 148 $. ~. 24th ~venne. He informed the Board that he wished to speak about property in Lake Addition, Lots 13, 14 and 15. They are on the intercoastal on N. W. 7th Street. He has owned these lots for approximately twenty years. He has spent several thousands of dollars trying to fill this property to no avail. The only economic use of this property is for multi-family'dw~llings. Nobody would go to the expense of building a single family home there on the intercoastal. Chairman Kelly thanked him and stated his remarks have been recorded and will be given consideration. MINUTES PLAR~ING & ZONING BOARD PAGE TEN JANUarY 28, 1975 Chairman Kelly then declared a recess at 8:50 P. M.~ so the members of the Board and anyone else could go out to the water fountain for a City highball. During the recess, Mr. Milton Russell registered withMro Barrett reference to zoning for Seacrest Apartments. Chairman Kelly called the meeting back to order at 9:07 P. M. Mr. Bob Wyckoff stated his name and his address as 1511 Carandis Circle, Nest Palm Beach. He stated he would like to talk about Lot 6, Block 3, Lake Boynton Estates and he also owns Lots 23, 22, 24, 25, 26, east half of 28 and all of 29 in Block 2 of Lake Boynton Estates. This is located at N. W. 7th St. and 2nd Avenue. The lots that front on 2nd Avenue on the plat are shown as 110' deep~ but some years ago the County took 10' off these lots and now they are IO0' deep. Under the new zoning, none of the lots would comply on that block, unless someone owns the lots in the rear. He stated he was interested in a C-4 zoning, the general commercial type, because of the 50' width and 100' depth. In Block 2, Lots 22, 23, 24 and 25, which front on 2nd Avenue, the road department is taking 20' off of the front and the County has already taken 10', so these lots are 80' deep. He does own Lot 25 on the corner and Lot 26 in the rear, which does give him a total depth of 195' by 50' providing he can get the easement closed. This would also apply with the east half of Lot 28 and 29. Ne prefers to have C-4 zoning, He cannot use the west half of Lot 23 nor Lot 24, but could possibly use them for parking if it is changed to C-4. Chairman Kelly thanked him and asked that he leave his sketch so they could give it consideration. Mr. Harold Toban stated his name and his address as Miami Beach. He informed the Board that he owns the rest of the lots in Block 2, Lake Boynton Estates. None of these lots will conform with the code they are trying to put through, because C-I makes the lots absolutely useless. He would like to request C-4 zoning. Chairm~m Kelly thanked him and stated his remarks have been recorded and will be given consideration. Mr. Walter Dutch appeared before the Board again and re- ferred to Lots 1 and 12, Deryll Park, 300' west of touch- down point of interchange on 2nd Avenue at N. W. 7th Court, the northeast and northwest corner. He advised that they were presently zoned C-1. The County also took frontage from these lots and he has lost depth. They are ~able right now under C-1. He had plans drawn for development which would comply with C-1 in its existing form. However, under the new zoning, they have insufficient space. Both lots are not usable under the new C-1. He requested for the best use of these lots and all those lots in the general area of 1-95 that are zoned C-1 be zoned C-4. Chairman Kelly thanked him again. MI~YJTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE ELEVEN JANUARY 28, 1975 Chairman Kelly declared the ~blic Hearing adjourned at 9:20 P. M., but did invite anyone to stay if they were interested in seeing the Board operate in viewing a site plan. ~. Dick Lambert appeared before the Board and referred to the area of Glen Arbor, Laural Hills, 5th Addition, west of N. W. 7th Court. He referred to having quite a problem in the past with most of these lots being originally platted at 50 ft. A few of the people have purchased a couple lots, but so many owners just own 50 ft. lots and they were constantly before the Board of Adjustment in the old zoning of R-1. The Board of Adjustment has granted many of these people variances to build on these 50 ft. lots. Each one of these lots will have to come before the Board of Adjustment in this new zoning of R-1AA. Mr. Barrett advised him that they were trying to upgrade this area and bring it into conforming use. Mr. Lambert said he was not talking about the open area, but was referring to the platted area. Mr. Barrett replied that it is up to the Board of Adjustment to decide whether a com- patible house can be built. It is a recall recourse to go through the Board of Adjustment. Every city in Florida is built on 25 and 50 ft. lots. The Board of Adjustment is con- stantly busy with this. As you rezone, this problem comes up. Mr. La~oert pointed out that the current structures in this neighborhood fall under the R-lA classification instead of R-1AA. ~. Barrett replied that the difference between R-lA and R-1AA is not that great. There is recourse in this. Mr. Lambert stated that he just wanted general information. He than asked what was the justification to leave everything east of 7th Court at R-1A~ Mr. Barrett said that they did want to hear Ralph Kelly and suggested that Mr. Lambert at- tend some workshop meetings of the Planning & Zoning Board and give hi~ impact. Chairman Kelly stated he would give him a call advising when they would be meeting in workshop session. Site Plan Review Ralph Kelly - Office Building 536 N. E. 22nd Avenue The members looked at the plans. Mr. Rossi questioned if it had been approved by the other Boards and Mr. Barrett replied: yes. M~. Rossi referred to the C.A.B. questioning drainage and Mr. Kelly advised him that they made some recom- mendations which would be followed. ~ir. Kelly asked if there was a chance he could go on the sewer to eliminate this pro- blem and M~. Barrett informed him that probably sometime in July the sewer connections may be available. All Water should be contained on the site. Grades will be reviewed at inspec- tion. Mr. Kelly remarked that hooking up to the sewer would save a lot of cost and M~. Barrett suggested that the lines could be put in ready to hook up. MINUTES PLA~ING & ZONING BOARD PAGE T~JELVE JANUARY 28, 1975 FLr. Walker made a motion to approve the site plan pending consideration of Mr. Barrett's statements. Col. Trauger seconded the motion. Motion. carried 7-0. Mr. Walker made a motion to adjourn, seconded by ~s. Huc~e. Motion ca~ied 7-0 and the meeting was properly adjourned at 9:40 P. M.
