\'lould agree' to pay ~2..fY'I sewer charge for each tra:Ller lot..
In the general discussion of this request) concern was expressed
over these conditions:
Thab under recent 'ruling of the City Attorney, business
zoning that the City establishes for a t:railer park does not
exclude any USQG nOli legally permitted in a business zone.
That basineas zoning foi.' chis particular park ",ould ex-

that a request for zoning change .from R-2 to B in 1959 had previously
been disapproved by the Board.. It was felt that the property faces
single family homes; lots to th~ south have recent new duplexes; the
area is predominantly mixed single family anct two family units;
spotting of an R-4 use for this px~p~.ty would devaluate adjoining

'J1asldn,: I am a motel operator. I undorsttU1d that there i~-1 al'1 ordi-
nanc.e on the hooks that haa recl:;mtly been put into use l'lhich provides
that hereafter any entrance to the parking area around a motel from
the stre~~ can be but )0 ft.. ontrance and 1ihat ;my, parking far.j.lities
beyond that )0 ft. must be on the property of the motel. ~ ,
Kr.entzman: The ordinance you ment ion has bt)en in offect since tJune,
T9~.b~ and' it provides for control of cutting the curb for use 01" mu-
nicipal proporty or control of R/w for privat(! ptu'poaes" 'l'ha.t is
the one that the engtneers no",! are enforcing.
B: This then would mean that, in order .for a motel to have & parking
space for use it, would have to go doep onough into their lot 80 that
eould maneuver the car from bey'ond the 3(H entrance strip.. Am I
correct?
, "")
-,..,rl"
K: That is t of coul~ge t the entrance is the amount of curb that is
cut to get into the lot~ It is not a depth proposition. It is a
width propo~itiono
B: I understand, but-~~
!~..;" You understand that in many places the R/H might be 6f"J' but. the
paved road may be 1..0' 01" 20'. 'l'hat additional H./\/ on each sidp.
belongs to the public and is, reserved .for future use if neaess81'Y
for extending the road, so that any use ot: that at t..his time; or
temporariljl', would only be a temporary proposition until such time
as it is nedeBsary for use i.n 'tddening the road ~ ' ,. - '"

Strang.: One of the things the attorney is try.ing to bring out is that
there are pe ople today parking on the city R/~'i on the public Rill i and
if the street has to be widened 7 it is lil{ely to ''lake up one of these
days and have no..parking space at all.- I think you urldel'stand that
dontt you? Now---
.Ql l-1y point there, and I thi:.1.k \'.'6 can clear 1~ha to u.p if I explain my
point ~ On my own motel hoe park on our O\'ffi property ~ but we ent.?l.~ di-

Rill but. on 00 your property but not having t~o maneuvor from tho 30'
ontrance around to it,. That is under advisement. At; soon as ltYG can
get to it \tie arc going to t.ry to ostablinh a policy and it mi,t.",h t rn-
sult in a change in that ordinanco. That is something that has como
up r~~ cent 1y ". '
1i:..'!'J1r. 1.foderator, I am del iL;hted to hoar thj.s explanation and want 1;0
point out that on Clearwator Deh. there are numerous blocks no more
than 100 i't. deep, as .far us building sito is concerned bet.\'leen one
street and another't and if th:l.s idoa 10 applled to that area there is
not goi.ng to be any spaco to build a useful build:i.ng on that property..
S: I think we ' Que;ht to go on "lith' t.he discltssion, 1.1r. B. t because .
rthink it \'lag brought out clearly that t.his is for undevelopl?d areas.
I was pretty sure that that l~a3 made cl(;lur on this so that the areas
will be developed in the future 30 that theno---conditions that you
have and that other people haye at tho prosent time TfTOnt happen in
the rut ure a .
B: I am glad to hear you say that, !.I.r. !.lodcrator, and I just l'lant to
ask one question, and that i.s in mentioning undeveloped areas, do .
you mean a whole area like Clean~ater Beh, the Causeway, or
-----------, or do you mean what? '
S: Let's hear the rest of the presentation and maybe it will clear
up. ,If' it isn~t we will go back to the question. Are there' any oth-
er que stions on definitions? , .
B: Yea, I would like to ask one.. This says that it does not apply
to existing buildings and L'lnd use.. No\'l there are buildings in the
city that could well be remodeled or torn down and rebuilt. Now in
my interpreta~ion of this definition, it would have to give up two
thirds of the space in order to build a new buildingd I~ so, down-
town sections \~uld be unablo to modify or improve existing build-
ings in that area 'without sacrificing at least tl'ro-thirds of their
useful size and area.
S: I. think that statement that you just made, lJir.. B, points out
What 1 ju~t said that ~ would like to go ahead wit~ this on the pre-
sentation.. The same question a Lilan justi asked and I said that if
it was not ans'l,oll~red \18 would come back to it because the answer. is
in this on your downto~m and you~ built-up arcas~ I }lave heard it
and I think that \-men it is presen1~ed to you. that you will under-
stand what. you are say'ing.. I wiJ.l COale back to '1'1.;1.13 8t~i(:n if it isn' t
answered 'to your satisfaction.. .
B: I wanted to raise the question. You can anS\'ler It at any til1\f:~
YOu get to it.. -

for Bui.lt-l.1p AreD,s'; You can go ahead,thon, f.1:r'_ \lalla.
jlJ.. You may follO\'I along wi.th me here.. This is a planner's problem,
a zoner's problem) and a developer's problem" I \-lQuld like to hit
it. head on ~ for if it doesn f t come nO\<I, \.m~n it comes lateX" it hU.l~t3
","orse. \Ie all know> ~he charactoristics of the Central Business Dis-
trict of most to\.ms we ride through _ C10ar\\'ater ls no except ion.
You have ma.jor arteries coming; right t,hron.gh the center of your town.
Soma larger c1.tieB havo provided bypasses., but you have mixed traffic
in your downto\<m area. In. some cases thj.s is desirable; in some ca-
ses it is nO,t.. The tI'affic problem is a parking problem and a park-
ing problem is a traffic problem. You can't divorce them. I am
trying to prepare here a little summary of cond:l.ti.ons that are ap-
parent. Conditions that in some cases we may adju:3t~in other' cases
we may. not. The characteris t.iC8 or the Central Business District
(or the OED in general terms used allover America) indicated here:
It is a heavy traffic area. There are convergence of hea~1
arteries. Thel"e is a. high density of development. By density "Ie
mean ........... If we had a density of. I, that all the ground
ware covered by a one story building. If this ''lere 2, it would be
all the area covered by a two...story building. Or whereever you have
half of that area covered by a four-story building you would still
have a density of 2~ You can saG that it is a matter of the genera-
tion or traf~ic, to that point. People .going to that building ~here
is going to increase the density, density from the standpoint of
automobiles and people getting their services in that building, in
that traffic. That is the density in development height then a high
percentage of building covex',9.ge co In some cases we. have no space, that
is ground spa'ce.. Half' of' your lot covered would be 50~6 ground space ~
50$b building coverage..
Then there are the uses that come with the CBD--mercaIl tile f trade,
and office, personal services and govor.nmental useso They are normal
OBD uses. These characteristics are the rasult of business building
up over a period of time. All contribute to a critical parking pic.
ture, on street and offstreet. The stability of values \dthin the
CBD depend upon the convenience of services needed and supported that
are offeredQ Pa~king facilities availablo determine this convenience.

Baskin!. The question I raised was the effect on modifj"ing old build-
ings cO You have shmffi sugges.tGd a:reas in \'1hich you will exempt those
old buildings.. . There ara buildings on th(.~ ma.inland and on the beach
. that are in these areas that are not exempted that would have to
be completely modified in view of this ordinance if it were effected.
I can name them and they don't belon..2; to me. I don t t think I have a
building that will be hit by this bui,i.:it is the general idea of the
welfare of the communi tjr that I am hare tonight.. As far as I can aoe,
the effect of this ordinance on any building I might own is not now
apparent, but there is the fact that ~here are other people~ whether
they are hare or not, that would be dra8~ically affected by this or-
dinance. If' you did have an exempt area (and that is a big; nirn be-
cause it can be ohanged, as you are a~mre), but the fact is that this
thing will destroy property values both on buildings that are now in
existence and on'property that will be.used for buildings in the fu-
ture . I .feel very definitely that ,'lha t you say in true - it is a
vel.Y intricate problem and one that is a "little bit premature even
ye't. I am going to point out chat --------1 25 years ago the City
Co~mis8ion hired an exper~ to como here and layout a master plan
for the town~ Paid them J10,ono for it, at tcmt time a good 4eal of
money. It laid on the shelf)' .it mildewed and the roa.ches ai.it:i it up,

Where YOtU" property is now is where the pHople north of you \'lere using'
the R/W to park, lihich a. lot of them are doing~ If their street is
\'lldened, to/here are they going to park? 30 they a.re going to say "\1e11,
"my didn't somebody tell me they vlElre going to widen this street?" .
tf\Jhy didn't I provide .for offstree t parking?" I am saying tha t in
the blocks to the south of there where there will bG available prop-
er.ty in the future they won't have the same troublo that you all are .
going to have in the next five years. That is what this ordinance is
a~ned at. It's not aimed at you folks today. It's aimed for the fu-
ture, so that the people wont t. be in the condition that you are going
to be in and some of these other people when they .fj,nd that they don'~
have any place to park. Hm"t'aver, we think that by passing an ordi-
nance like this now we can tell these people whatts going to come in
the future;. n01'1 maybe thl? rat:i.os are' not right.; maybs you shouldn't
