VARIANCE REQUEST: JENSEN and BAILEY
Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment in Public Hearing,
considered the request of Betty Stock Jensen and H. Clifton
Bailey for a Variance to Section 26-25 (E) (1-2-3) (C-2 GENERAL
COMMERCIAL DISTRICT -SETBACKS) of the Zoning Ordinance in order
to Alter and Construct an Addition to an existing building
located in Section 30-22-26 for a Car Wash. Messrs. Bailey and
Nick Jones, Architect, appeared before Council in support of
this request advising they had designed the proposed construc-
tion to provide a practical traffic flow utilizing the less
hazardous existing right-o-way turn-off from State Road 50
on to Grand Highway, but in order to accomplish this, there
would be a penetration of the paved driveway into the front,
side, and rear yard setbacks. They submitted their request for
reflief of hardship was based on: "There is no practical traffic
flow unless this pattern is followed, short of demolition of
the existing building or using a drive-in - back -out pattern
which would be dangerous". Following inquiry from the Chair,
there was no one present who voiced objection to the request,
whereupon motion was made by Councilman Blackburn, seconded
by Councilman Honey and unanimously carried that the request
be granted.
ADDITIONAL SOFTBALL FIELD FACILITIES
Mayor Smoak reported that the possibility of obtaining used
poles for the lighting of the softball facilities at the
Elementary School as initially reported, now appeared to be
questionable; That City Manager Tiffany had submitted an
approximate cost of $700.00 for the purchase of new poles; and
if such purchase became necessary, the total cost to the City
for the additional facilities would be slightly in excess of
$8,000. Mayor Smoak thereupon moved that City Manager Tiffany
be authorized to purchase new poles for the approximate cost
as submitted if it is determined the used poles are not
available. The motion was seconded by Councilman Blackburn
and unanimously carried.
UNSIGHTLY PROPERTY
Councilman Schroedel reported on the need of mowing and removal
of debris from the city owned strip of land abutting Hunt's
Garden Center on the west. The matter was referred to the City
Manager.
COST OF LIVING WAGE INCREASE
Councilman Schroedel reported on an inquiry received as to the
status of a cost of living wage increase for city employees that
was to have been considered at end of the first six months
MINUTES N9 1.411
period of this fiscal yoar budget. Mayor Smoak advised that
wage increases would be one of the natters for discussion at
the 77-76 budget work session to be field on June Bth,
LIGHTING AT LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD
Councilman Honey inquired of the feasibility of locking the
switch boxes controlling the lighting at the Little League Field
inasmuch as he had observed them being used to accommodate a
very small group, Councilman Honey was advised that excessive
vandalism had occurred in previous attempts of locking the
switch boxes,
BROOME STREET EXTENSION
As previously requested by Council that City Manager Tiffany
obtain comments from the DOT regarding the proposed extension
of Broome Street from Twelfth Street to Emerald Lakes Mobile
Home Park, Mr. Tiffany advised the DOT had completed an
extensive study of the matter wherein they approved the proposed
Intersection plans, and advised that such proposed street
extension would be a safety improvement for ingress and egress
to the mobile home park. Mayor Smoak thereupon moved that City
Manager Tiffany be authorized to instigate the necessary procedure
for construction of the Broome Street extension, with the City
to participate in one-third of the cost, and Poynter -Harder, Inc.
the remaining two-thirds. Mr. John Harder was present at the
meeting and advised Council this was agreeable to him.
PROPOSED KEHLOR PARK AGREEMENT
With regards the proposed agreement for the use and administra-
tion of the Kehler Park building and shuffleboard facilities
submitted for Council's consideration, it was the suggestion
of Mayor Smoak, and Council was in agreement, that such proposal
should specifically include a provision for use of the shuffleboard
courts by the public at all times other than has been previously
scheduled for the Recreation Club's activities. Motion was made
by Councilman Blackburn seconded by Co
uncilmch an Sroedel and
unanimously carried that City Attorney Baird be requested to
prepare the necessary document to include the amendment as
It was the suggestion of Mayor Smoak that the public restrooms
at Kehler Park be made available for use during all hours of
recreational activities at the park, and be secured by the
Police Department when they have been concluded. The matter
was referred to Chief of Police Tyndal.

Honey and unanimously carried that the bills be paid. A copy
is attached hereto.

I submit that I qualify for this variance because I have an exceptional and unique
hardship on my particular parcel of land that is not shared by property owners in my area.
A strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives me of the reasonable use of my land and
the granting of this variance will not alter the essential character of the area.
I have been notified that this Variance Application must be filed with the City Clerk no
later than 5:00 P.M. on Friday, two (2) weeks prior to the Council meeting at which Variance
will be considered. I also understand that when any variance is granted, construction of
the structure must be completed withone one year from date of grant.

SUBJECT: Proposed Broome Street Extension
DATE: May 20, 1977
At your March 15 meeting you asked me to contact the Florida Department
of Transportation to get comments on the proposed Broome Street extension
from 12th Street to Emerald Lakes, including the safety factor for Emerald
Lakes residents.
City Engineer John Springstead and I talked to DOT traffic engineers.
DOT has now completed their extensive study of the proposal, and has told
us that the street would be a safety improvement for park residents and
intersection plans as submitted (copy attached) are approved.
Cost of this project is estimated to be $23,970 to $25,970 including
engineering. The City's 1/3 share would be $7,950 to $8,656.
John Harder plans to attend Tuesday's meeting.
