Unfinished Business
A. D. Lee Ross re P.U.D. - Public Hearing - Lots 2-4-6 Block 9
Mr. Vogel informed the Commission that the building plans had been
approved by the Advisory Planning Board at its last meeting with the view
that there were no exceptions to existing ordinances. Mayor Howell
explained that a public hearing was now open and invited the audience to
examine the plans and offer comments from the floor. Mr. Harold Wilfred
of 310-312 - 8th Street declared that he objected to the driveways for
egress from and ingress to the property involved, and he also objected
to the variance being allowed.

Unfinished Business - continued (D. Lee Ross Public Hearing)
The City Manager explained the matter did not involve a variance inasmuch
as an owner was allowed to pave his property to the property line. The
Mayor pointed out that the plan as proposed meets every requirement
of existing ordinances, i.e. , building setback requirements, paved off-
street parking with access to the streets, and front and back yard open
space requirements. Mr. William Arzie of 770 East Coast Drive, pointed
out that it would be dangerous to use the access on East Coast Drive
due to the curve in the road, speeding traffic, and accidents that have
occurred in the past. Mrs. Wilfred of 312 - 8th Street, who complained
of the possible noise and air pollution affecting her property,
stated the driveway would be used as a public thoroughfare. Others who
spoke against the construction expressed the view that installation of
the parking spaces and access would result in the destruction of some
beautiful magnolia trees. Several suggestions were offered to change
the configuration of the parking spaces and the placement of the
proposed five-unit complex. As no one else spoke for or against, Mayor
Howell declared the Public Hearing closed. Mayor Howell commented that
Mr. Ross had indicated he could re-design the parking area. Cook x
Jensen I x
Motion: Refer the plans back to Mr. Ross to re-design Minton x x
the parking area, and re-present at the next Mhoon x x
meeting on November 1, 1977. Howell x

C. Lowell Wood re Multi-Purpose Facility
Mr. Lowell Wood, Community School Coordinator, and Mr. Ronald Van Pelt,
":lantic Beach Elementary School Principal, presented a proposal for a
ilti-purpose facility at the School for a 9,153 square foot structure
costing approximately $150,000. It was explained that two-thirds of
the funding would be incurred by a State Department of Education Grant
with the City's share to be approximately $50,000. Mr. Van Pelt added

the major benefit to the school would be an indoor gymnasium and/or an
auditorium, which could be configured into small classrooms by using
mobile partitions. Mr. Wood stated the community would benefit through
use of the structure for daytime and evening adult classes, as a
recreational facility, and for meetings by civic organizations.
Commissioner Mhoon asked if control of the building would be vested in
the School Board or the Commission. Mr. Van Pelt answered that the
School Board would have final authority, but felt that such situation Cook x
would not create any problems. Jensen x x

bayonets and that traffic vision had been enhanced. Chief Stucki
reported the property had new owners that were not aware of the existing
problem, and felt the residents would cooperate in clearing shrubbery
on their premises. For this reason, he indicated that a stop sign nee•
