City Commisoion had continued above item from February 3, 1977 to obtain further in-
formation on the south:.portion of Tract A. Albert L. Rogero, Jr., representing Metoo,
read a portion of Florida Law, Chapter 171, Municipal Annexation or Contraction, speci-
fically 171.0413 (3). I1The owner of property(being annexed by an Ordinance enacted sub-
sequent to 3uly 1, 1975) may waive the requirements of this section if such owner does
not desire all of his tract or parcel included in said anner-acion." He further stated
that due to mortgage lease provision, the south portion could not be annexed at this
time and, if and when annexed, comm&rcia1 usage would be sought for this portion. Intent
for the north portion is a group of several stores.
Mr. Renando read into the record a letter dated January 25, 1977 from Mr. Rogero. wherein
he stated that the mortgagee on the south one-half of the property would violently oppose
any reduction in zoning and would insist upon release clauses weighted on the north one-
half of property which would make development of the north one-half financially un-
feasible.
Staff stated that there is no reason to deviate from the policy re annexation snd monetary
questions and funding should not preclude annexation. Mrs. Parks commented that the
letter clearly states: that Metco is not interested if they don't have the entire package
zoned Commercial and that they refuse to consider any downzoning. Discussion ensued.
Motion was made by Mrs. Parks, seconded by Mr. Kuntz, to recommend denial of the above
request. Motion carried unanimously. North portion of Tract A only is in accordance
with the City and County Land Use Plans.

Minutes of the Planning & Zoning Board - February 1, 1977
Page 02
Mr. Thomas A. Bustin, City Attorney, was present and cited Ordinance No. 1638,
SllC. 35.07, page 3, wherein it sets out the bash for recommendation that the
Planning and Zoning Board would take into consideration; i. e., limited to wh~t
the applicant has submitted. He addressed these items and stated that they could
be used as a guideline.
Mr. Robert A. Kersteen, Real Estate Coordinator for General Telephone Company, stated
thst he had notified owners on Soule Rd. and south side of Robinwood and that they
statedJno objection to proposed switching station building. To review, General
Telephone desires zoning changed to ISP to make property eligible for said station
usage as a special exception contingent UpOll the approval by the Board of Adjustment
and Appeal. (City Commission continued this item from February 3, 1977.) The west
one acre is environmentally sensitive wetland and both the Board members and Michael
W. Kenton, Enviro~ntal Planner, expressed their concern for the marshland area.
Mr. Kersteen stated that they would give 75 feet on the west as a drainage eAsement
and 'that thore would be a buffer on the north and east boundaries. Concern was ex-
predsed that once the building was erected, the remainder of the property could be
sold. Therefore, tqe marshland would be rezoned to high intensity usage.
Mr. Tice inquired if there was a way to split the zoning in this instance. Discussion
ensued. MOtion was made by Mr. Tice, seconded by Mrs. Parka, to deny the request for
ISP, Institutional Scmi-publict end, in lieu thereof, recommend ISP for the eastern
portion (1.2 acres) and ALJ Aquatic Land, for the western portion (1.0 acres). Motion
carried unanimously. Mr. Kersteen is in agreement with the revised and more restrictive
request and recommendation.

Mr. Renando gave the background of above requests and stated that it is now being
brought before the Board in larger portions than originally. Everybody's Tabernacle
would like to have these areas zoned Duplex so that they might sell them due to a
change in expansion plans. (Original plan was for a church school.) In light of
the zoning to actual use (lots are in a neighborhood developing 8S Single Family or
Duplex), RM-8 zoning was suggested. Motion wns made by Mrs. Pnrks, seconded by
Mr. Tice, to recommend approval of (1) above. Motion carried unanimously. Motion
was made by Mrs. Parks, seconded by Mr. Tice, to recommend approval of (2) above.
MOtion carried un&nimously.
