OLD BUSINESS

Temporarily Withdrawn
B. Public Hearing to Consider Development Aggreement - OCEAN
TERRACE
Vice Chairman MacDonell stated that the board had been presented
with the application at the December 20th meeting and that it was
back before the board for a public hearing. The chairman opened
the public hearing and called on Sam Jacobson from the audience.
Mr. Jacobsen questioned the development agreement procedure. The
Chairman explained that the proposed development is similar to
the recently approved SEMINOLE REACH and OCEANSIDE subdivisions.
He added that in each case the property had been zoned
multifamily and the developmers have agreed to reduce the number
of units and to abide by strict development standards in exchange
for a relaxation of certain zoning requirements. He felt the
Contract Quality Developments were similar to Planned Unit
Developments but didn 't meet the acreage requirements. He stated
that these developments create less demand on the police and fire
departments and water, sewer, traffic and drainage facilities.
Mrs. Russell expressed concern over accessibility and traffic
flow on the private streets with no turn around provided at the
street ends. There was discussion relative to how garbage trucks
would turn around and the possible need for a dumpster.
Ohlene Coble stated that the design quality standards were
illegible in some places and that several different type styles
were used and a page was missing. She asked that they not be
submitted to the City Commission until they were in final form.
Don Wolfson asked what could be done if the construction was not
in keeping with the design quality standards. The chairman
determined that they would be required to correct it or be
subject to penalty.
After further discussion Mrs. Russell motioned to recommend
approval of the subdivision with the stipulation that a penalty
be added to the design quality standards and that the standards
be submitted in their final form. Mrs. Gregg seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
A. Don Wolfson provided the board with an exerpt from what
appeared to be Ocean Grove Unit II deed restrictions. He
expressed concern over the issuance of setback variances to the
substandard lots of record along Beach Avenue and a lack of off
street parking facilities for private residences on Beach Avenue.
B. Vice Chairman MacDonell informed the board of the need to
submit a list of recommended capital improvements at least 120
days prior to the beginning of the budget year. He asked that
the board give the list some consideration.
There being no further business to come before the board Vice
Chairman MacDonell declared the meeting adjourned at 8: 34 p. m.
