Mr. Lawrence Keleher, Pinewood Village, expressed concern that the requested zoning
might embrace uses that would be objectionable. Question was raised concerning
a veterinarian utilizing this zoning. Opinion was to be obtained from the City
Attorney.
Kr~ Healey stated that Code changes are imminent that would limit residential
density to medium rather than high density and delete some potentially objectionable
uses from the PS category.

Mr. Healey identified the airpark and related facilities located to the west, the
adjOining commercial activity to the north, and further to the north and east, the
Indultrial Park location. In light of surrounding uses, the Planning staff recom-
mended approv~l.

Mr. Shepard identified the right-of-way for Palmetto as 33 feet. An additional
7-foot right-of-way for Palmetto Street is required, making a total of 40-foot
half right-of-way. A 30-foot right-of-way and utility easement are required along
the south property line. A la-foot drainage and utility easement will be required
along the east side of the property.
MOtion was made by Mr. Tice, seconded by Mr. Scheideman, to recommend approval of
above request, subject to the necessary rights-of-way and utility easements as
requested by the Engineering Department. Motion carried unanimously.

Request - From: RM-20 (High Density Multi-family)
To: RM-28 (High Density Multi-family)
1.
Above property contains 20.4 acres and is located east of Village Drive, west of
Florida Power right-of-way, north of Enterprise Drive and south of Countryside
Boulevard.
Mr. Prank Bosworth, architect, represented the applicant Florida Condo Division of
U. S. Home Corp. He stated unusual site planning problems and the need to increase
the height to four stories (plus loft in some of the units) as the reason for the
request. Mr. Bosworth stated it is not their intention to increase the density of
the proposed project but to develop the number o~ units permitted under the RM-20
zoning classification. This arrangement would provide for a greater amount of open
space for the residents.
The possible appli~ation of the variance process was questioned and Mr. Healey
stated there were no proper grounds for a variance. It was merely a matter of
preferred design.
Consensus of the Board was to consider the requested change in zoning in the
abstract and not observe the site plan available.
Mr. Tice expressed concern that shoUld the subject .property be rezoned to RM-28
classification, the applicant could proceed to optimize the maximum density.
Board members discussed the possibility of RPD zoning category and, upon deciding
thia to be a more appropriate zoning, asked to see the site plan.
The proposed project consists of 408 units (10 separate buildings - two 3-story
and eight 4-story units). Mr. Bosworth stated this project would supply a broad
range,of units, fro~ efficiencies to 2-bedroom units, at a moderate cost. The
units would be condominiums but with an urban-type apartment concept. He stated
,this property becomes a buffer between high intensity use of commercial and the
residential properties to the east. The RPD and consequent higher building height
wouJ,d allow greater flexibility in design and result in a more desirable project.
,tit
Access point would be on Countryside Boulevard. two entrances off Village Drive,
and another access onto Enterprise Road.

utilized for lawn chair.. He alia cited another reason as the undesirable con-
dition at low tide on the corner of hi. property. There i8 3 silt problem from
run-off and the water is usually no more than 1-2 feet deep. The construction
of this catwalk would not eliminate tho odor but would aid cosmetically.
Mr. Healey stated his concern with the catwalk being utilized as an extended use
of the property. He felt this could establish a precedent for other than marine-
related purpose.. He allo exprelled concern with any interference with use of
the adjoining property. Mr. Sykes Itated the adjoining neighbor does not object.
Mrs. Parka expressed concern with the trend of boat docks being constructed to
extend the backyard. in order that residents may take advantage of the sun in the
winter.
After considerable discussion, motion was made by Mr. Scheideman, seconded by
Mr. Tice, to recommend approval of above request. to.the Board of Adjustment & Appeal.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Healey asked the Board for further comments concerning the proposed Code amend-
ment that would establish the Zoning Appeal Hearing Officer process. Board members
will again review the proposed ordinance and direct any additional comments to the
Planning Director prior to the next City Commission meeting.
Chairman Hall reminded the Board that the Christmas luncheon will be held in
December and that plans are being made. Further details will follow.
Meeting adjourned at 3:00 PM.
