AND: R. C. Vogel, City Manager
ABSENT: Alan C. Jensen, Commissioner
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Andresen and the first order of
business was to consider the Comprehensive Plan as submitted by Kellum,
Patterson & Bell, Planning Consultants of Tampa, Florida, under a contract
with the City. The plan submitted was voluminous and will require intensive
study by the Board members before the final draft is approved. It was
suggested that another meeting be held on Tuesday, December 6, 1977, at
7:30 PM for the purpose of conferring with Mr. Bell concerning the finalizing
of the plan.
Mr. Bell proceeded to review the new work and its relation to Vols. 1 and 2
as prepared by Milo Smith & Associates and the method that will achieve
unification and updating of the original plan.
Mr. Bell pointed out that the summary of the Comprehensive Plan will be
prepared as a folder consisting of 300 copies of eight (8) pages each and
can be used to acquaint the public with a brief overall view of the Compre-
hensive Plan.
Mr. Bell advised that there will be ten (10) official 3-ring binders, adding
that 130 copies of the update material will be available for distribution as
needed with Vols. 1 and 2 of the original plan.
The Board reviewed six (6) maps of the City consisting of Conservation,
Community Facilities, Traffic Circulation, Future Land Use, Flood Insurance,
and Zoning District Boundaries, as well as a folder consisting of Land
Development Regulations Review and Proposed Revisions. Mr. Bell advised that
the land development element encompassed zoning regulations and was being
presented as a vehicle for discussion; that if the City Commissioners deemed
it adviseable, they could adopt the proposal as presented or make revisions
that might be considered necessary.
Mr. Bell stated that while the Comprehensive Plan is not etched in stone,
once it is adopted and approved by the State, any major deviation from the
plan would have to be preceded by a change in the plan adopted under the
regular ordinance process with public hearing, etc. This completed the
conference with Mr. Bell.

The Board next considered the Sea Turtle Restaurant and Motel application
for modification of the parking lot that was presented to the City
Commission and referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation. The
Board reviewed the plan and after discussion determined that there were
no objections to the new coffee shop and lobby as proposed. Considerable
apprehension was expressed concerning the elevated parking, tennis courts,
handball courts, and the proposed pro shop on the north parking lot. The
Board reasoned that the tennis courts would require a surrounding chain
link fence a minimum of 10 to 12 feet high with accompanying wind shield,
and the high elevation of the handball courts would have an adverse effect
upon the surrounding residential property.
After further discussion, the Board voted unanimously to recommend to
the Commission that the facility on the north lot not be approved.
There being no further business, Chairman Andresen declared the meeting
adjourned.
THE NEXT PLANNING BOARD MEETING IS CALLED FOR TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, AT
7:30 PM.
