PRESENTATION BY ROBERT MASSARELLI ON THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
CODE
BASICALLY IN CHAPTER 163, WHICH IS THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL
PROGRAMS, THERE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AND LAND
DEVELOPMENT ACT. IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT EVERY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT HAVE ADOPTED A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ADOPTED A
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO IMPLEMENT THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS COMES FROM THE STATE STATUTES
AND ARE ANY ORDINANCES THAT ARE ADOPTED BY THE GOVERNING BODY
FOR THE REGULATION OF ANY ASPECT OF DEVELOPMENT WHICH
INCLUDES THINGS LIKE ZONING, REZONING, BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION, SIGN ORDINANCES. THE LAW REQUIRES THAT WE
ADOPT LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
HE EXPLAINED WHAT THE DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT IS.
GENERALLY, IT IS THE CARRYING OUT OF ANY BUILDING ACTIVITY OR
MINING OPERATION MAKING A MATERIAL CHANGE IN THE USE OR
APPEARANCE OF ANY STRUCTURE OR LAND AND DIVIDING OF LAND INTO
THREE OR MORE PARCELS. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT ARE
IDENTIFIED AS NOT BEING DEVELOPMENT AND THIS IS WORK BY A
HIGHWAY OR ROAD AGENCY OR RAILROAD COMPANY FOR THE
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING, OCTOBER 1, 1996
PAGE 2
MAINTENANCE OR IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS OR RAILROAD TRACKS IF IT
IS CARRIED WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND WORK BY ANY UTILITY
OR PERSONS ENGAGED FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OR TRANSMISSION OF
GAS OR WATER FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSPECTING, REPAIRING,
RENEWING OR CONSTRUCTING OF ANY ESTABLISHED RIGHT-OF-WAY, ANY
SEWERS, MAINS, PIPES, CABLES, UTILITIES, TUNNELS, POWERLINES,
TOWERS, POLES, TRACKS AND ALIKE. THE USE OF ANY LAND FOR
GROWING CROPS, PLANTS, TREES OR OTHER AGRICULTURAL FOREST
ACTIVITY, RAISING LIVESTOCK OR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES ARE ALSO
AN EXCEPTION TO THE DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT. THE USE OF
ANY STRUCTURAL LAND DEVOTED TO A DWELLING USED FOR ANY
PURPOSE CUSTOMARILY INCIDENTAL TO THE ENJOYMENT OF A DWELLING
IS NOT A DEVELOPMENT. A CHANGE OF USE OF LAND OR A STRUCTURE
FROM A USE WITHIN A CLASS SPECIFIED IN AN ORDINANCE TO
ANOTHER USE IN THE SAME CLASS IS NOT A DEVELOPMENT. THE
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP IS NOT A DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY. THE
CREATION OR TERMINATION OF RIGHTS OF ACCESS, RIPARIAN RIGHTS,
EASEMENTS OR COVENANTS CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND IS
NOT A DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.
IF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PREVAILS.
THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WAS FIRST
ADOPTED AUGUST 28, 1985 AND BECAME EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 9,
1985. SINCE THAT TIME, THE CITY HAS HAD 22 SUPPLEMENTS. THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TODAY IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IS INTERNALLY INCONSISTENT AND IS
INCONSISTENT WITH THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT WE HAVE ADOPTED NOW
IN THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN. PROCEDURALLY, IT IS A NIGHTMARE TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT. MR. MASSARELLI STATED ALL OF THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE HAS BEEN TYPED ON A WORD PROCESSOR. THE
CITY HAS MADE SOME CHANGES ALREADY. THE NEXT STEP WE ARE
WORKING ON IS PROCEDURES BY TAKING EACH PART OF THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE AND COMING UP WITH A DIFFERENT FORMAT OF THE
PROCEDURES MAKING IT MORE UNDERSTANDING.
THE CITY IS CURRENTLY DOING AN EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL
REPORT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO SEE HOW EFFECTIVE IT HAS
BEEN OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION WILL BE CONSIDERING THAT ON THE 17TH WITH A
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL AND THEY WILL HOLD TWO PUBLIC
HEARINGS PROBABLY IN NOVEMBER. AFTER THE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS
IT THEN HAS TO GO TO THE STATE TO DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY
AFFAIRS BY THE END OF THE YEAR. THE CITY THEN GOES INTO A
YEAR LONG PROCESS REWRITING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE NEXT
STEP WOULD BE TAKING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND MAKING
THAT CONFORM TO THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING, OCTOBER 1, 1996

THERE ARE VARIOUS SECTIONS IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SECTION 1 IS BASICALLY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CODE.
SECTION 2 ESTABLISHES THE ZONING DISTRICTS. GENERALLY THE
ZONING DISTRICTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL,
INDUSTRIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL. THERE ARE VARIOUS ZONING
CATEGORIES FOR RESIDENTIAL BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE LOT,
REQUIREMENTS FOR SIZE OF BUILDINGS, SETBACKS, LOT COVERAGE,
AND GREEN SPACE. THERE ARE SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL ZONING
DISTRICTS FOR MOBILE HOMES, MUTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS. WE HAVE 7
ZONING DISTRICTS FOR COMMERCIAL. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1.
COR (COMMERCIAL OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT); 2. C-512
(COMMERCIAL 512 DISTRICT); 3. CL (LIMITED COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT); 4. CG (GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT) 5. MCR
(MARINE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT); 6. GMC
(GENERAL MARINE COMMERCIAL); 7. CRR (COMMERCIAL RESORT
RESIDENTIAL). THERE IS ONLY ONE INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT
WHICH IS IN (LIMITED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT). THE INSTITUTIONAL
DISTRICT IS PS (PUBLIC SERVICE DISTRICT) WHICH IS BASICALLY
THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND UTILITY BUILDINGS.
SECTION 4 IS ANOTHER GROUP OF ZONING DISTRICTS CALLED PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD). IT IS A PROCESS TO GIVE MORE
FLEXIBILITY TO DEVELOPERS AND HOW THEY DEVELOP THEIR LAND.
YOU ELIMINATE THINGS SUCH AS SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, LOT
COVERAGE ETC. TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO COME UP WITH
ANOTHER DESIGN FOR THE USE OF THE LAND. IN THE CITY WE HAVE
ZONING DISTRICT PUD IN RESIDENTIALi COMMERCIAL, MOBILE HOME
AND INDUSTRIAL.
SECTION 5 IS GENERAL PROVISIONS WHICH COVERS ENCROACHMENTS
INTO THE REQUIRED YARDS, HEIGHT LIMITATIONS, REGULATIONS FOR
REQUIRED YARDS, REGULATIONS OF FENCES.
SECTION 6 IS CONDITIONAL USE AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE
CRITERIA. WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICTS THERE ARE USES THAT
ARE PERMITTED. THERE ARE ALSO CONDITIONAL USES WHICH ARE
THINGS THAT COULD CAUSE HARM TO THE ADJACENT LAND OWNER AND
CONDITIONS ARE PLACED ON THAT TO MINIMIZE OR TO ELIMINATE
THAT POTENTIAL HARM. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT, HOTELS, MOTELS,
DRiVE-THRU FACILITIES, FUNERAL HOMES, GASOLINE SALES ARE
CONDITIONAL USES THAT HAVE CONDITIONS TO BE MET BEFORE THEY
CAN BE APPROVED. THIS WHOLE CONDITIONAL USE SECTION IS ONE
AREA THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE TAKING A CLOSE LOOK AT AND
SEEING HOW IT COULD BE IMPROVED.
SECTION 7 IS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. THIS IS WHERE WE GET
INTO NUISANCE ABATEMENT SUCH AS NOISE, ODOR, AND ESTABLISHES
SOUND REQUIREMENTS.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING, OCTOBER 1, 1996

SECTION 8 DEALS WITH THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS. THERE ARE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAYOUT OF THE PARKING LOTS, THE SIZE AND
SHAPE OF STALLS, AI~D HANDICAP PARKING.
SECTION 9 DEALS WITH NONCONFORMITIES AND NONCOMPLIANCES.
WHEN THE CODE WAS ADOPTED IN 1985, NOT EVERY PROPERTY MET THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE. THIS ALLOWS SOMEONE TO USE THEIR
PROPERTY DESPITE WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES. THE CODE PROHIBITS
THE EXPANSION OF THE NONCONFORMITY OR THE NONCOMPLIANCE. MR.
GORE ASKED MR. MASSARELLI IF AN EXISTING BUILDING HAD BEEN
50% DESTROYED, WOULD IT HAVE TO MEET THE CURRENT CODE. MR.
MASSARELLI STATED THAT THE BUILDING WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE
CURRENT CODE. THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE SECTIONS THE BOARD
MIGHT BE DEALING WITH IF SOMEONE COMES IN WITH A
NONCONFORMING OR NONCOMPLYING USE WANTING TO EXPAND IT. WE
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT BY THE CODE BUT THE BOARD WILL HAVE
TO CONSIDER THE SITUATION. CHAIRMAN OBERBECK ASKED MR.
MASSARELLI WHAT SHOULD THE BOARD BE LOOKING FOR. SHOULD IT
BE THE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY, THE BENEFIT OF EMPLOYMENT TO
THE COMMUNITY, THE NEGATIVE IMPACT IT MIGHT HAVE ON ADJOINING
PROPERTY OWNERS OR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. MR. MASSARELLI
STATED THERE ARE 9 FACTORS THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT SHOULD
CONSIDER IN ORDER TO GRANT A VARIANCE. ONE OF THOSE IS THAT
IT IS NOT INJURIOUS TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE OR THE INTENT OF
THE ORDINANCE.
SECTION 10 IS THE SITE PLAN REVIEW. EVERY COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT HAS TO COME IN FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW.
IF YOU ARE MODIFYING OR EXPANDING AN EXISTING BUILDING, THE
CITY REQUIRES YOU TO COME IN FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW. IF YOU
ARE NOT DOING ANY CHANGES TO THE BUILDING, WE WORK WITH THE
iNDIVIDUAL TO ADDRESS PARKING AND LANDSCAPING BUT DON'T
REQUIRE THE FULL SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS. MR. FREELAND
ASKED MR. MASSARELLI WHY THERE IS NO PUBLIC INPUT ON SITE
PLAN REVIEWS. MR. MASSARELLI STATED HE FEELS THERE SHOULD BE
A PROVISION FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON ANY SITE PLAN REVIEWS.
SECTION 11 IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION AND THIS IS WHERE
THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT IS CREATED. IT SPELLS OUT THE
BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITIES, POWERS AND THINGS THE BOARD HAS TO
CONSIDER AS WELL ESTABLISHING THE PLANNING AND ZONING'S
POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. IT GOES THROUGH HOW AMENDMENTS
TO THE ZONING CODE ARE PROCESSED AS WELL AS AMENDMENTS TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE ZONING AMENDMENT DOES NOT TAKE
EFFECT UNTIL THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TAKES EFFECT.
ON A SMALL SCALE AMENDMENT, SOMETHING LESS THAN 10 ACRES IN
SIZE, THERE IS A 30 DAY PERIOD THAT PEOPLE CAN OBJECT TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND ASK FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
HEARING WITH THE STATE. IF NO OBJECTIONS, ON THE 31ST DAY
BOAP/) OF ADJUSTMENT MEETINg, OCTOBER 1, 1996
PAGE 5
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAi~ AMENDMENT TAKES EFFECT. IF THERE IS
AN OBJECTION, IT IS A VERY LONG PROCESS WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS. IF IT IS GREATER THAN 10 ACRES, IT
GOES TO D.C.A. FOR REVIEW AND IT IS APPROXIMATELY A 6 MONTH
REVIEW PROCESS BEFORE THEY SIGN OFF ON IT. ALSO THiS SECTION
COVERS TEMPORARY USE PERMITS.
SECTION 12 IS THE LANGUAGE AND DEFINITIONS. WHAT YOU HAVE TO
DO IS GO BACK TO SECTION 2 WHERE IT ESTABLISHES THE DISTRICT
AND HAS ALL SORTS OF DEFINITIONS. WHILE REVIEWING THE CODES
WE HAVE ALREADY FOUND THREE DEFINITIONS OF A TREE. THIS IS
ONE OF THE INTERNAL INCONSISTENCIES THAT WE ARE FINDING IN
THE CODE.
SECTION 13 DEALS WITH THE LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS. THIS
PROVIDES WHAT KIND OF LANDSCAPING IS REQUIRED, THE NUMBER OF
TREES REQUIRED AND WHERE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE LOCATED.
THIS SECTION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND ENFORCE.
SECTION 14 DEALS WITH TREE PROTECTION. WORKING WITH THE
RIVERFRONT COMMITTEE THE CITY IS GOING TO IMPROVE THE
LANDSCAPING AND TREE PROTECTION ORDINANCES.
SECTION 15 DEALS WITH THE SIGN REGULATIONS. ALONG THE
RIVERFRONT AREA WE WANT TO HAVE MONUMENT SIGNS AND KEEP WITH
THE LANDSCAPING WE WANT. CHAIRMAN OBERBECK STATED THAT MAYBE
WE COULD COME UP WITH A REGULATION AFTER A BUSINESS IS CLOSED
FOR 30 DAYS, THE SIGNS COULD BE REMOVED. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO
GO AFTER THE LANDLORD TO ENFORCE THE REMOVAL OF SIGNS. MR.
FREELAND STATED THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT
WHEN DEALING WITH POLITICAL SIGNS. MR. MASSARELLI STATED THE
CODE STATES THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL ORDER THE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL OF ANY POLITICAL SIGN FOUND IN VIOLATION OF THIS
SECTION. IF WITHIN TWO DAYS THE SIGN IS NOT REMOVED, CODE
ENFORCEMENT CAN GO OUT THERE AND REMOVE IT. WE WILL KEEP
TRACK OF THE COST AND TRY TO GET REIMBURSED.
SECTION 16 DEALS WITH SUBDIVISION OF LAND. THIS SECTION IS
VERY RARELY USED BECAUSE SEBASTIAN IS PLATTED OUT. HOWEVER,
THE CITY DID HAVE A SUBDIVISION PLAT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
WHICH WAS HARBOR POINT. WE HAVE A STANDARD FORM WHICH HAS A
CHECK LIST WITH THE REQUIREMENTS. THE DIMENSION OF EVERY LOT
HAS TO BE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS THE PROPER
FRONTAGE ON A RIGHT-OF-WAY, THE PROPER SETBACK, THE PROPER
WIDTH OF THE LOT, MAKE SURE THE LOT IS BUILDABLE IF THERE IS
A CONSERVATION EASEMENT OR DRAINAGE EASEMENT ON IT. ONE OF
THINGS THAT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM IS WHEN WE HAVE A
SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE THREE LOTS. THE LOT IN THE MIDDLE IS
DIVIDED IN HALF AND JOINED WITH THE OTHER TWO LOTS.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING, OCTOBER 1, 1996
PAGE 6
BY DEFINITIONS iN THE CITY'S CODE, IT IS A SUBDIVISION OF
LAND WHICH REQUIRES TO GO THROUGH A MINOR SUBDIVISION, WHICH
ACTUALLY INVOLVES THE CREATION OF A PLAT, THE NAMING OF A
SUBDIVISION AND THE RECORDING OF IT. THERE iS NO OTHER WAY
LEGALLY FOR A LOT TO BE SPLIT AND JOINED WITH TWO ADJACENT
LOTS. THE CITY HAS AN ORDINANCE BEFORE CITY COUNCIL FOR
SECOND READING ON OCTOBER 9TH DEALING WITH THE SUBDIVISION OF
A SINGLE LOT. BASICALLY WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS AN
INDIVIDUAL CAN COME IN WITH THE SURVEY OF THE LOT, A SURVEY
OF THE PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE LOT, VACATION OF EASEMENTS,
DEDICATION OF NEW EASEMENTS, UNITY OF TITLE AND BY PROVIDING
THOSE THINGS, WE COULD SIGN OFF IN HOUSE. THIS WOULD BE A
QUICKER PROCESS AND WILL ALLOW US TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE
NO NONCONFORMING LOTS IN THE AREA.
THE SUBDIVISIONS OF LAND ALSO INCLUDES THE DESIGN STANDARDS
AND REQUIRED CONSTRUCTION.
MR. MASSARELLI STATED HE IS CONTACTING ENGINEERS, DEVELOPERS
AROUND THE STATE TO ASK THEM WHICH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES
WORK WELL.
MR. CROCKET ASKED IF THERE WOULD BE ANY TIMES THAT THE
DIFFERENT BOARDS WOULD GET TOGETHER AND EXCHANGE THE MEETING
OF THE MINDS. MR. MASSARELLI STATED A JOINT MEETING WITH THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COULD BE ARRANGED.
CHAIRMAN OBERBECK STATED THE CITY HAD A PROBLEM IN THE CODES
WHEREBY SOMEONE WORKING FOR SEARS FOR EXAMPLE COULD BRING
HOME A BIG BOX TRUCK AND PARK IN HIS DRIVEWAY, BUT I AS A
LOCAL RESIDENT DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. MR.
MASSARELLI STATED IF YOU HAVE A HOME OCCUPATION, YOU COULD
HAVE ONE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE BUT IT IS LIMITED IN SIZE.
CHAIRMAN OBERBECK ASKED MR. MASSARELLI IF THE BOARD SHOULD BE
BROUGHT UP-TO-DATE ON HOME OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE PRIOR TO THE
NEXT MEETING. MR. MASSARELLI STATED WE WOULD PROBABLY GIVE
THE BOARD MEMBERS A COPY OF THE CODE PERTAINING TO HOME
OCCUPATIONS IN THEIR PACKETS FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
CHAIRMAN'S MATTERS:
CHAIRMAN OBERBECK STATED HE FEELS ON ANY REQUESTS FOR A
VARIANCE THAT THE BOARD SHOULD HEAR THE FINDINGS OF FACT FROM
STAFF AND THE APPLICANT BUT NOT HEAR STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
THE BOARD SHOULD BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO
APPROVE OR DENY THE VARIANCE.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING, OCTOBER 1, 1996
PAGE 7
MR. DEVlTO STATED HE COULD LISTEN TO SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
BUT IT WOULD NOT INFLUENCE HIM ON MAKING HIS OWN DECISION.
MR. BECKWITH'S ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME LEGAL
RAMIFICATIONS THAT THE STAFF WAS AWARE OF THAT THE BOARD WAS
NOT. CHAIRMAN OBERBECK STATED IT WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE
EVIDENT TO THE BOARD.
MR. FREELAND STATED HE FEELS THE APPLICANT SHOULD PRESENT HIS
CASE.
MR. MASSARELLI STATED HE WILL LAY OUT THE FINDING OF FACTS
ON THE NiNE CRITERIA THEN THE BOARD WILL APPROVE OR DENY THE
REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE.
ANY BOARD MEMBER CAN COME INTO SEE MR. MASSARELLI. THE BOARD
MEMBERS SHOULD NOT TALK BETWEEN THEMSELVES CONCERNING ANY
PENDING CASES.
MEMBER' MATTERS:
MR. BECKWITH ASKED IF THE CITY COULD NOTIFY THE IMMEDIATE
ADJACENT PROPERTIES WITH A RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED SO IT
WOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT THROUGH TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS
THAT ARE MOST CONCERNED WITH THE VARIANCE REQUESTED. MR.
MASSARELLI WILL CHECK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT SENDING
CERTIFIED MAIL TO JUST ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS. MR.
MASSARELLI STATED IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO SEND A NOTIFICATION
TO ALL SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET BY
CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, SO NO ONE IS
OVERLOOKED.
STAFF MATTERS:
MR. MASSARELLI STATED WE HAVE THREE PENDING CASES TO GO
BEFORE THE BOARD AT THE NOVEMBER 5TH MEETING. THE LEGAL
NOTICES GO OUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE SO THE STAFF REPORT WILL BE
AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME.
ADJOURN: MEETING ADJOURNED AT 8:30 P.M.
