The Chairman called the meeting to order and asked for approval of the minutes

to correct in the minutes and the approval was postponed until later in the meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by Mark Wayshner to construct an
addition to an existing nonconforming residence located at 415 Seminole Road.
Mark Wayshner introduced himself to the board and explained that he desired
to construct a second floor deck addition to his residence which was set too close to the
property line when built.
Mr. Worley explained to the board that the residence was constructed in 1979
with a site plan indicating that the building would have 7.5 feet setback from the side
property lines. The actual construction did not agree with the plan, having 0.8 feet on
one side and 11 feet on the other side. The survey lot dimensions do not agree with the
site plan measurements which may account for some of the difference.
Mr. Worley corrected his staff report to state that the construction would not
encroach any further than the existing building his recommendation would remain
unaltered.
After discussion, Mr. Frohwein moved to deny the variance and Mr. Wolfson
seconded the motion. After discussion, the motion and second were withdrawn after the
applicant agreed to amend his application to show that the new construction would not
encroach the setback requirements.
After further discussion, Mr. Frohwein moved to grant the variance provided that
the deck addition project no further than five feet from the northeast property line. Mr.
Grunthal seconded the motion and the amended variance was unanimously granted.
II. Application for Use-by-Exception filed by Kirt Lynch to operate a
business of automobiles, service, rentals, parts and accessories at property located
at 1400 Mayport Road.
Mr. Kirt Lynch introduced himself and explained that he desired to purchase the
property in question and needed the use-by-exception for automobile sales and Ryder
Truck Rentals. He stated he would also be selling accessories and would provide minor
service work such as batteries and belts.
Mr. Lynch stated that he is purchasing 7 lots in Block 50, Section H, however, the
use-by-exception he is requesting only covered Lots 1, 2, and 3, block 50, Section H.
After discussion, Mr. Grunthal moved to recommend approval of the use-by-
exception to the City Commission to operate a used vehicle sales, rental and repair
business in the CG district at 1400 Mayport Road, Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 50, Section
H subject to the following conditions:

DISCUSSION
Review and recommendation regarding proposed amendments to the zoning code
of ordinances.
The Board discussed completing their review of the proposed amendments and
their desire to deliver their recommendation to the City Commission within a period of
two or three months. They directed staff to place the item on the agenda for the
upcoming meetings.
Mr. Worley told the board that an extra meeting would probably be necessary to
enable review of landscape and lot coverage ordinances and the definitions contained
therein should be included so as not to have a discrepancy or conflict.
Mr. Frohwein requested copies of the landscape ordinance be furnished to them
so they may include it with their amendment documentations. He also requested copies
of suggested revisions of Chapter 24 as revised by the Community Development Board.
Mr. Grunthal suggested that the amendments be divided into four sections for the
next regular meetings but limit their review to one section per meeting
The Chairman requested a memorandum be sent to each member covering the
applicable sections or divisions of the amendments to be reviewed.
There being no further business to come before the board on motion made the
meeting was adjourned.
