April 5, 1984
Regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Committee called to order
by Chairman Harris at 7:30 P.M. in the City of Sebastian Council Chambers.
Members present were Chairman Harris, Vice-Chairman Harold Eisenbarth,
members Marjorie Poole, Randy Mosby, and Bill Mahoney.
Minutes of the March 14, 1984 meeting were read and approved, following
motion by ~andy Mosby and second by Bill Mahoney.
Special Exoeption - Home Occupations were acted on with Charles Snider -
Chuck's Lawn Service, George Schardt III - Masonry and Carpentry, and Clint
Brown - Construction receiving approval. Philip Chandler - Freedom International
was tabled since he was not present, and file was incomplete.
John Hamilton site plan for manufacturing/warehouse building presented.
Chairman Harris handed over the gavel to Vice-Chairman Eisenbarth since he
had a conflict of interest, having helped with the original plans for the
building. Steve Mueller of Sippels and Masteller introduced himself and the
plan. The problem with the site was. from a letter Jim Davis, County Engineer
wrote concerning the setback and what was and was not allowed. He made the
point that in the case of the car lot next door, parking and storm drainage
was allowed in the setback; in this case nothing was allowed, according to
the county engineer. Randy Mosby noted that the Health Department had approved
plan with septic tank five feet (5') fr~m the building. Mr. Mueller made the
point that Mr. Hamilton owns the land, pays the taxes, should be allowed to
use as long as no permanent building were erected on the right of way.
Mr. Hamilton added that they (the county) were asking for 1/5th of his property
without condemnation procedure or compensation for the property. Marjorie Poole
felt that it was sufficient to request no permanent structure, it was not
necessary to make the parcel unusable. A member of the audience, J.W. Thompson
remarked that all lawyers will tell you county has no authority over property.
When the property was condemned and payed for, then they had authority over it.
On the five items listed by Mr. Davis (refer to letter):
1. Consensus of the board was they disagreed, but needed clarification.
2. In the new rules
3. Radius should be increased to 25' to improve ingress/egress.
4. inappropriate
5. Parking lot width should possibly be 24' requested, but the code requires
18', he has 19%', hardship because of lack of space and he meets the 18'
requirement.
Randy Mosby made the motion that the site plan be approved contingent upon
Health Department approval and satisfaction of the 25' turning radius. Bill
Mahoney seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Jack Spira was unable to attend, so his plan for a Jiffy Convenience Store
on U.S.#I at Schumann Drive was tabled until May 3, 1984.

Chairman Harris resumed his role as chairman, and the Ed Hulse plan
was presented. Randy Mosby noted that the retention area was undersized.
Gene Harris had no problem with calculations, 3/1 slope. Ed Hulse said
Rich Votopka, an engineer, did the calculations. It was noted that it
needed an architectural seal. Harold Eisenbarth made the motion that it
be approved contingent upon Health Department approval, bumper stops in-
cluded on the plan, and an engineer or architectural seal. Marjorie Poole
seconded the motion, carried with dissenting vote by Randy Mosby.
Fischer/Garretto annexation was the next item to be considered. The
idea of the annexation was to provide a means to provide water to River Run.
Randy Mosby felt we needed a legal opinion of the term "substantial" contig-
uous to city property, as well as what determines an "enclave". Gene Harris
felt the letter dated March 16, 1984 to Mayor and Council had a negative
note to it since it questioned the two rules. Randy Mosby noted that Duck
Point had 10% coterminous, and cost us. He also noted that the Fischer
annexations are usually beneficial, low density. They are good for the
city, but he wants the legal O.K. before we say we approve the annexation.
Randy Mosby made the motion that a follow-up letter be written (see enclosure
copy of the letter dated April 11, 1984), Bill Mahoney seconded, carried.
Vi's Restaurant submitted a plan for fixing up their parking lot on the
river side of the road. Dan Blair, Building Official, presented their plans.
Right now the area is dirty, has trash thrown along river's edge. They want
to redress, clean up, add spaces, get cars off the River Road, and redo a
storm sewer. The dialog that followed concerned lOx20 spaces instead of 9x20,
but if it§ gravel, how do you designate? Does DER come into the question?
Are they just wanting to expand? Final resolution was that we don't need to
approve a repair job on the parking. No recommendation on the application.
Meeting adjourned at 10:42.
APPROVED:
Gen~ Harris, Chairman
