Absent: Aurelia Cole, Tony Honey, and Nick Jones. REZONING REQUEST._ Tony Hubbard had requested rezoning of his property at 242 East Highland Avenue from R-2 Medium Den- sity Residential to R-3 Residential/Professional, which would • allow him to construct two triplex dwelling units. ..Access to the rear lots has been cut off via Broome Street by the aband- onment of said street by the City, preventing development as single lots. Mr. Evans stated that it may be nit-picking, but his calcu- lations did not produce the same square footage figures as those presented by Mr. Hubbard, even though either set of figures gives enough square footage to meet City zoning requirements. He urged that the Commission require accurate figures in the future . There was a brief discussion, with questions about parking and setbacks, all of which were answered by referring to the site plan presented by Mr. Hubbard. A motion was made by Mr. Evans as follows: THAT IT BE RECOI~iI1ENDED TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THIS REZONING REQUEST BE APPROVED. r2r. Thompson seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Charles Michael Hoskinson had requested a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of a two-story single family apartment in the C-2 Central Business District. There was considerable discussion about the loca- tion of this structure. P•4r. Hoskinson pointed out that it will not block windows on each side of his property, and that there will be an open courtyard between his existing building and the new structure.* Mr. Czech moved and i~Ir. Jones seconded the mo- tion that THE PLANNING AND ZONING COTJIMISSION RECOI•IMEND TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BE GRANTED SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1.

This request was by Andrew Morris to add a carport to his existing duplex residence at 610 West Lakeshore Drive. The Conditional Use Permit would be necessary because a duplex in an R-1-A zone is a non-conforming use. Mrs. Gaines asked if the dispute between Mr. ~4orris and his neighbor to the north would affect the Conditional Use Permit or vice versa. Mr. Sargent stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission has no authority to address the prop- erty dispute, but could only treat the Conditional Use Permit request. It was discussed that Mrs. Morris had stated that there were t o be a bedroom and bath behind the carport, and that all of this area had been enclosed. No building permit had been issued for anythin g but the slab on the north and west sides of the existing house. Mr. Thomas K. Dougerty spoke on Mr. Morris' behalf, saying that Mrs. Ivlorris meant to say the bedroom and bath would be added when they convert the residence to a single family home, and that Mr. Morris was experienced in building and was not trying to put anything over on the City. He explained that Mr. P~orris is working toward converting the house to single family use. He further stated that Mr. Morris is aware that building permits are required. After further discussion regarding the addition and the fact that Mr. Morris had proceeded with construction without obtaining a building permit, Mr. Louis Kotmair asked how the City can allow Mr. Morris to build on property that may prove not to belong to him, and again it was brought out that the boundary dispute is a matter for the parties to settle between themselves. Following a brief history of the property offered by Mrs. Juanita Boyd, and a recommendation by rir. Sargent, the following motion was made by Mr. Evans and seconded by Mr. Thompson THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE MATTER BE REFER- ED TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD FOR INVESTIGATION AND RECOMMENDATION. The motion was passed by unanimous vote. A letter from John D. Brown, Vice President of Williams Steel Industries was read. It contained a request for a special meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission to review an application for a Conditional Use Permit for their property. The consensus of the Commission was to ask Williams Steel to make their application in due time for a regularly scheduled meeting. A Planning and Zoning Institute sponsored by Valencia Community College was announced for A~iarch 17, 1983. Mr. Evans, Mr. Fogle and DIr. Sargent expressed interest in attending. Mr. Sargent conducted a brief training session based on the first chapter of The Job of the Planning Commissioner. Mrs. Gaines volunteered to review Chapter 4 and Mr. Jones was assigned Chapter 2 for the May meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. ;' John N.~"Sarge -A~'TEST: ,, /' J ~Mari.lyn Ge~ge,~ P & Z T'e hncian Chairman
