George Robertson, Chairman of the Board of Deacons. stated
the church had parking problems at this location and they decided
to dispose of the property. Several inquiries concerning the
property had been received, but they felt the proposed use by
PAR would provide the best usage of the property with the least
impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
lofrs. William A. Moon. member of the Board of PAR introduced
Shirley Colletti, Executive Director of PAR, who distributed
a booklet to the Board describing the operation together with
letters of recommendation from members of the medical community
and area residents near their current location. She discussed
the plans for the church property, emphasizing the close
monitoring provided residents of the program.
Several persons involved with the program spoke in support,
giving further background on the program.
Stewart R. Wilson, 707 North Osceola Avenue, spoke in
support. Several citizens spoke in opposition to the request,
and a petition bearing thirty-one signatures in opposition was
submitted to the Clerk for the record.
John Petellat, 1172 Sunset Point Road, stated it had been
difficult to object to the rezoning at the public hearing because
they were told that was the proper zoning for churches and. while
there was mention of a buyer, no names were given. He further
questioned the wording of the public hearing notice; specifically,
use of the term "medi-center" with no mention of the activities
proposed. He pointed out that the neighborhood was not aware
until the day prior to the meeting that PAR was the prospective
buyer.
John Rinker, 1206 Sheridan Road, requested the Board deny
the application or, at least, postpone a decision until the area
residents have more time to organize their opposition. The
Board Chairman advised him of the right of appeal to the City
Commission.
"
Mr. Rinker stated that at the rezoning public hearing the
church representative was specifically asked when rezoned what
the Use was to be, but there was no response. He asked the
same question of a church representative after the hearing was
concluded, and the response was the use would be in the best
interests of the community.
In rebuttal, George Robertson restated that the application
had been properly filed with no effort made to conceal the identity
of the prospective buyer. He stated the Planning Official had
written to Mr. Denecick in September, 1978, stating that the
church's inquiry as to a special exception to permit use of the
property as a mini "medi-center" could not be sure of support
fro. the Planning DepartJDent, and that he had recommended to the
church's Board:of Directors that the use of the property by PAR
would have less impact on the neighborhood than use as a nursing

home, or even as a church, because of reduced parking problems and
traffic. He stated it was the church's understanding that
prospective uses of the property could not be addressed at the
public hearing on the rezoning. He acknowledged the accuracy
of his reported response after the rezoning public hearing to an
area resident concerning usage of the property stating at that
time they were not sure who the ultimate buyer would be. He
noted acts of vandalism and petty crime are currently experienced
in this neighborhood.
Al Benecick~ representative of Bruce Taylor Realty, stated
the application had been filed in accordance with the rules set
forth in the zoning code.
The Building Official stated the only further approvals
needed, if the application is granted, are parking and proposed
building alterations.
The Planning Official stated he was aware that at the
rezoning public hearing he felt something other than continued
church usage would be made of this )?roperty and that the area
residents were unaware of that posslbility.
Al Benecick submitted a copy of an undated memo to the
Office of the City Clerk from the church stating there is a
conditional sales contract on the property with PAR Properties. Inc.
Mr. Morris suggested the decision of the Board be continued
to allow property owners and PAR to get together for discussion
and possible better understanding.
Considerable discussion ensued concerning the merits of this
suggestion and the willingness of the parties to talk.
The Planning Official expressed support for a continuance
to permit gaining a fuller knowledge of physical changes which
would be necessary to the property before the Planning Department
could make a firm recommendation.
Mr. Morris moved to continue this item to the meeting of
January 25, 1979, without cost to the applicant. Mr. Donnell
seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
The meeting was recessed from 5:35 to 5:40 p.m.
ITEM '8 - Request of James W. Ford for a seluack variance.
The Building Official reported right-of-way on Lake Drive
is eighty feet rather than the usual sixty feet.
The Planning Official stated the proposed location would
put the house approximately in line with others in the area, but
suggested consideration be given a ten foot setback to the rear
rather than'the fifteen feet shown.
Larry Hilker~. builder, stated the fifteen feet to the rear of
the house will,provide a nicer backyard. The house will face on

decision of the Building Official concerning the request for a
se~back variance from W6St property line upon Lot I, Block E,
Keystone Manor Subdivision, which property is located at the
Southeast corner of Lake Drive and Laura Street and is zoned
RS-SO (single-family residential), it appearing, after this duly
constituted public hearing, that there are practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardships in the way of carrying out the strict
letter of the provisions of the zoning ordinance as it affects
such property and that the same can be varied in harmony with the
general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance, Mr. Morris
moved that such appeal be granted in accordance with the applica-
tion submitted therewith, with the provision that the right to .
obtain a building permit in accordance with such variance shall
cease after six (6) months from this date. Mr. House seconded
the motion which carried unanimously.
ITEM 19 - Request of Curtis McClamma for a special exception
to construct storage warehouse.
The Planning Official stated the zoning district permits
this use as a special exception. The comprehensive land use
plan designates this as low-density residential and has since
1972. The area is part of the South Greenwood target area, and
considerable funds (both City and community development) have
been allocated for street, sewer, and wateT improvements.
Because of these factors and the impact on the adjoining
residential uses, traffic, etc., he feels this is an inappropriate
location for this type of commercial activity.
Gerald R. Riddlebarger, representative, stated the proposed
storage units would be rented to private parties for personal use.
Two petitions in opposition carrying a total of eighteen
signatures were submitted for the record. No one spoke in
opposition.
Upon consideration of the appeal of Curtis McClamma from
the decision of the Building Official concerning a special

property is located South .of Woodlawn between Greenwood and

use is not consistent with the general zoning plan and with '
the public interest, Mr. Gans moved that said appeal be denied.
Mr. Morris seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
The applicant was advised of his right to appeal to the City
Commission within ten (10) days.

ITEM 12 - Request of Senior Citizens Services, Inc. for a
special exception to construct storage units and a variance of
number of off-street parking spaces.
Mr. Morris stated he has a financial interest in this appli-
cation and will therefore abstain from discussion and voting
and will file a Conflict of Interest statement with the City Clerk,
(attached hereto as part of the record).
(A) John Meek, representative, stated he is the prospective
buyer of the property, contingent upon the granting of this
request. He stated the units would be garage size with the
exception of eight smaller units in the easterly portion of the
project. One space fronting on Ewing Avenue will be used as
an office.
