Approved PB minutes 7/24/14



Draft Copy PB Minutes 7/24/14
Meeting opened at 7:08, members present were Todd, Linda, Dave, and Barry.

The minutes of the May and June meetings were read and approved, motion made by Linda and seconded by Dave.

Leslie Mauro, a lawyer representing Marc Romanowski from FL Tech Group was present to address concerns about the zoning proposal for the depot. FLTG seems interested in more specific language regarding telecommunications equipment, warehouse usage etc. These were addressed in a letter sent to the board that we have not had a chance to review. It seems that FLTG may want to continue doing what they are doing without the hassle of special use permits. We agreed to review and consider the items addressed in the letter but made no promises to change the code. We will make a decision how to proceed at the next meeting.

Dave brought up a discrepancy in the current code regarding schools. Sections 310.2 and 311.13 do not agree and need to be coordinated to read schools under 36 students. It is likely that we can revise this without a hearing, but we will ask Tom to make sure.

Todd brought up an issue concerning the AR zoning area on the west side of the depot. The railroad would like this designated WITE to promote industrial development near the entrance of the railway into the depot. Barbara Johnston also thinks a change should be made. Todd is going to call her, Bob Aronson, and Steve Absalom about these concerns. We need to make a decision about it in our next meeting.

We learned that Bill Squires has resigned from the board and we need a replacement. Barry will call Phil Knapp to see if he is interested in returning to the board.

Next meeting is August 28. Motion to adjourn made by Linda, second by Dave and approved.

Respectfully Submitted,

Barry Somerville, secretary
