Chairman Gene Harris presided. Attending were Chairman Harris, Vice -Chairman Harold Eisenbarth, members Bob Fullerton, Marjorie Poole, Stan Krulikowski, and alternate Edra Young. Engineer Randy Mosby also attended. Jewell Thompson was excused, Bill Mahoney was absent. Chairman Harris opened the meeting with his and the boards' regrets that Jewell Thompson's daughter is extremely ill, he extended our condolences. Also, the board extends its condolences to Bob Fullerton, who lost a brother last week. Minutes of the January 3, 1985 Public Hearing and Regular Meeting were read and following a correction to the third paragraph of the Regular Meeting, motion to approve as amended by Marjorie Poole was seconded by Edra Young, and passed unanimously. �,�✓ The board checked the financial reportAthat was requested at the last meeting. The board was informed that part of the expenses was a $1200.00 fee for the engineering of Power Line Road. When Mr. Mosby received the check issued from the Planning and Zoning Funds, he questioned it and was told the Building Official said he brought it before the board and it was approved. Harold Eisenbarth said he felt it should have been brought before the board and voted on before the expenditure was made, but no one on the board knew about it. Edra Young said the board should request a letter of authorization on this matter. Bob Fullerton commented that the board was required to vote on a $25.00 Press Journal ad, surely we should have been asked about a $1200 expenditure. Harold Eisenbarth said the board should have a legal opinion as to who is authorized to release Planning and Zoning Board funds. Marjorie Poole made the motion that a letter be written to the Finance Department request- ing a copy of the bill and the authorization for payment, as well as a letter to Attorney Tom Palmer, requesting clarification of who is authorized to release funds. Edra Young seconded the motion, passed unanimously. The board reviewed the letter to be sent to DER concerning the Sembler application for over -water restaurant, and all agreed it met the specifications of the motion made at the previous meeting. It will be sent. Site Plan for Fischer Office paving was addressed. Eric Fischer said the Building Official should have no problem, it was a minor site plan. It was designed originally when in the county, October 16, 1979. The existing buildings were built in 1974. Randy Mosby said that over one year, and the plan expires, and approval in the county does not necessarily mean approval by the city, since ordinances are not always the same. It may be necessary to obtain a legal opinion on that. The drainage from paving will not increase appreciably from the existing limestone, maybe as little as 10% more run-off roo Planning and Zoning - January 17, 1985 page 2 would be noticed. Randy Mosby said he wasn't saying it wouldn't work, just that it would not comply with our ordinance 202-9. Jack Regan said they were not going to pave 20,000, only 5500 sq. ft., said the reason they applied for the entire package now was the Building Official suggested it. Jack Regan and Dr. Henry A. Fischer showed the members what was proposed; the edge of the parking would be lifted up to drain runoff to the back of the site instead of towards U.S.#1, as is now the case. Randy Mosby said that if they were going by 20A-10.4, a minor site plan would be O.K. What is there is fine, just needs to be shown on a site plan. Some discussion followed concerning the elevations, runoff, etc. Stan Krulikowski made the motion that the board approve the site plan concept provided it be noted on the plan that it was phased improve- ments, that a cross section of the paving be shown, that the new elevations be shown designating the drainage pattern, and that the final plan be stamped by Chairman Harris following approval by Building Official Dan Blair and Staff Engineer Randy Mosby. Marjorie Poole seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Randy Mosby noted that this4an unusual situation, the paving exists in the limestone which through all these years of service has compacted to the point of being nearly as impervious as the replacement paving, also the plan has been through several boards already. If all the necessary items to satisfy a minor site plan are listed on the new drawing, it can be reviewed and will probably be fine. As it was presented to him it was a major site plan, and thus the cover letter on this project. AaftN Concerning the land use amendment/zoning change from RE40 to RS20, the board recommended that Dr. Fischer file an application for the change and proceed. Monday night will be a joint meeting night with the City Council on the Land Use Plan, all are requested to attend. Harold Eisenbarth made the motion that each member be given a copy of the Land Use Map, and if it costs anything, the Planning and Zoning Board would authorize a check to cover the expense of the maps. Bob Fuller- ton had paid for one. The board felt the members needed copies to be well informed. Stan Krulikowski seconded the motion, passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:55 P.M.
