application was not approved due to lack of a second of the motion.
Mr. Alexander stated that Mr. Ash was prepared to comply with the
rules and regulations set by the new Ordinance regulating mini-
warehouses, their conduct and use thereof, that was passed by the
City Commission on October 8, 1979. A motion was made that the request
be reconsidered by Commissioner Jensen and seconded by Commissioner
Minton. Discussion followed. Commissioner Minton expressed his
concern for an additional 123 cars traveling in and out of Atlantic
Blvd. Mr. Charles Morris, 75 Saratoga Circle South objected to the
request as the location is zoned residential and reminded the
Commission of a signed petition submitted to the Commission at the
Public Hearing held on August 27, 1979. He stated that none of the
signed petitioners had changed their minds. Mayor Howell outlined
his opinion that he could not pass on the subject without another
Public Hearing as Mr. Alexander and Mr. Ash had not provided factual
information of no objections from the adjoining residents as requested
at the meeting of October 8, 1979. The Mayor then asked when the
property was purchased and Mr. Ash replied in October, 1978 as one
parcel of land and at this time he felt that he was land-locked.
He stated that the residents of Saratoga Circle now had commercial
property within 100 feet, and even with his additional 123 units,
there would be a buffer zone of 600 feet to the closest residence.
Mr. Alexander asked Mr. Morris what objections he would have now,
and Mr. Morris stated,that in his opinion, the property value would
drop for the residents on Saratoga Circle. Commissioner Van Ness
commented that the land owned by Mr. Ash is bounded on three sides
by residential property; one an apartment complex and two sides
by single family zoning, and she did not feel the Commission should
change this zoning. Mr. Alexander stated that he would like to
amend his request for reconsideration to request for another Public
Hearing. Commissioner Jensen then moved for an amended motion:
Amended
Motion: Amend the motion that the request be reconsidered to Jensen x
add :subject to another Public Hearing . Public Hearing Minton x
to be held on November 26, 1979.
The vote was Commissioners Jensen, Mhoon, and Mayor Howell voting
aye, and Commissioners Minton and Van Ness voting no. Motion carried.

The Chair recognized Mr. John Poitevent, agent for Watson Realty Corp. ,
who requested for Mr. Gross, 1.) an occupational license for a new
business,2)and a request to place a temporary office trailer on the
property for a period of approximately twelve months. During the
twelve months architectural plans for the permanent strur_ture'would
be submitted to the Commission for approval. Mayor Howell advised
that a standard building permit calls for start of construction wit'Fin
six months, and at that time the permit would expire.

The ground in Russell Park finally dried to the extent that our work force
