Request: R-1AA to C-1
Mr. Joseph Tomberg, attorney representing. Joseph Lotto, came

Lotto property is a key piece of property for the City of Bolnaton
Beach and is the ideal location for C-1 zoning, Mr. Tomberg

Lee Manor Isles and that the request is for this one specific
piece of property. ~
Mr. Trudeau, Pompano Beach, came forward and stated he represents
the people who want to buy this property and they hope to develop
a shopping center with a national motel, good restaurant and
special, sloops and feels tt~is is the best use for the property.
Mr. Paul ~arrington came fo~ard and stated he is not necessarily
in opposition to rezoning the Lotto property, but stated he has
had calls from some owners in Lee Manor Isles who are out of the
state and they are concerned as to what is going to happen here.
He stated the feeling was that this was the first step to asking
for C-1 for the Westphal property and they would like to know
conditions and have assurances Of what is going on the Westphal
property.
Mr. ~arrington stated that according to the legal descriptions
t_his is two separate requests but, in fact, what was asked for
was zoning for a complex for the two pieces of land. Regardless
of legal description, the actual request was really one request.
Mr. Wohlleb stated that as far as what the developers put on that
property is their problem and is not the concern of the Board.
