Item that has occurred or was discovered within the previous six months which is not otherwise on the agenda - sign-up
required - limit often minutes for each speaker
Steven Schlitt, the new owner of Main Street Hardware (Vickers) building, addressed the denial of his
parking plan for the building by the Board of Adjustment, and requested a resolution of Council to the Board
of Adjustment urging the importance of maintaining the historical character of the building. He said he will
provide packets of information to the City Clerk for distribution to Council, exhibited a conceptual sketch,
and stated he intends to place a Coldwell-Banker office in the building.
The City Attorney explained that there was a 2-2 vote, which in the case of a variance is a fail since the
request is to change an existing regulation and by a tie vote, the regulation remains the same. He advised that
if there was an appeal the City would lose, that the Council could waive the reapplication, and that staff
strongly approved of the requested variance.
The City Attorney was directed to draft and add a resolution to the July 28, 1999 agenda.
Alida Hirschfeld, 368 Concha Drive, Sebastian, reiterated her input at the Quarterly public forum relative to
responsibility for her side lot ditch maintenance and again asked for an answer to her concerns. The City
Manager invited her to come in to City Hall to take care of the matter.
Warren Dill, representing Felix Equities Inc., bidders for the city paving project, stated he and Felix reps met
with city staff and were informed that staff planned to recommend all bids be rejected and rebid. He then
distributed backup information and reviewed it for Council. The City Manager said no recommendation has
been made to Council as yet, that he did have documentation to submit to Council, and stated he had offered
to place the item on the July 28, 1999 agenda. Mayor Wininger suggested the item be placed on an agenda.
The City Attorney stated that there is no appeal to be heard at this time, and noted that Felix is requesting the
City to by-pass the two Iow bidders to get to them.
TAPE II- SIDE I (8:33 p.m.)
It was the consensus of Council to review documentation from Mr. Dill and staff, and place this item on the
July 28, 1999 regular meeting.
Marilyn Wedig, 704 South Easy Street, Sebastian, expressed concern about the denial of the Vickers building
parking plan, and encouraged historic preservation in the City.
Louise Kautenberg, Sebastian, urged establishment of an historic district and provide for applicable zoning.
Mayor Wininger recommended looking at shared parking.

had spoken to Solin and Associates and established a deadline of August 15 for the Land Development Code.
Mr. Barnes said there is a shared parking ordinance on the books; and said City Council should heed the
advice of its City Attomey and staff.
