AND Mr. R. C. Vogel, City Nanager

ABSEiT Mr. Glover Weiss
The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. Wardrep.
Le asked Mrs. Pace to read the minutes of the previous meeting
and the Board approved the minutes as written.
The first topic L:;_: discussion was a platting of acreage by
r. John Hanna. The acreage is located in the Donner Sub
Division on Church Road, George Street, and the city play-
ground. 7==a revised his original plan of 12 lots to
6 lots thereby increasing the size of the lots and eliminating
the paved street parralel with the south property line which
abuts Donner playground. The new plan was approved by the
Planning Board and recommended to the Commission that it be
approved.
The request of Mr. Butts for a P.U.D. application on the
Hotel Reservation which is presently zoned Business A-1 was
taken under consideration by the Board. Mr. Butts explained
that he would like to construct a condominium consisting of
66 units not to exceed 3 stories in height, with approximately
2. 6 parking spaces per unit. After discussion, which covered
numerous related subjects, the Board, considering the use that
can be put to the land under present zoning and the undesirable
affect that such would have on the city, decided that the
proposed use would he more desirable than any use now possible
under existing zoning. Several people in the audience voiced
opposition and expressed their desire that the property be
zoned for single family residence. An attempt was made to
explain that this would be depriving the owner of the highest
and best use of the property and, inasmuch as the property
had been zoned for hotel use prior to the incorporation of
the City, it was felt that any attempt to lessen the value
of the property by re-zoning to single family would meet with
failure in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Board,
therefore, voted unanimously to recommend to the Commiss:'.on
that the present plan as presented be approved.

Mr. Bull presented preliminary plans with a request that the
Bull Airport property be placed under P.U.D. . He pointed out
that the present zoning of the airport property is Residence D
ancz the property immediately east of Bull Airport abutting
the lagoon was zoned AA. He proposes to build cluster homes
adjacent to the lagoon and sub-divide the airport property
into single family lots. It would differ, however, from a
conventional subdivision in that all property in the complex
would be under a Condominium Association that would be res-
ponsible for exterior perpetual care. The Board, after lengthy
discussion, looked favorably upon the entire project; however,
they decided to withhold a recommendation to the City Commission
until additional dialogue could be developed concerning the
cluster housing occupying the area presently zoned PJ .
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
