MINUTES

SHALIMAR PLANNING & ZONING BOARD

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1999

6:00 P.M.

CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Eddie Phillips called the meeting to order at 6:10 p.m. in Town Hall Chambers and led the pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE: Elaine Tucker, Brad Davis, Rick Rauch, James Grimsley, Charles W. Clary Sr., and Karen Taylor-Hutson.

OLD BUSINESS: The minutes of the P & Z Board were approved on a motion by Patti Culjak, seconded by Jimmy Jones. The motion passed unanimously.

NEW BUSINESS:

I. A request for a 12 foot variance for a pool/spa by Cox Pools for Mr. and Mrs. Don Hutson on Lot 12, Sunset Bay Subdivision, also known as 911 Sunset Bay Court was presented by Ms. Hutson. After considerable discussion, the Board recommended that due to the lack of complete drawings, the distance from the water, and the possible inaccuracy of the survey used, the subject was tabled until the April meeting. Mrs. Hutson was asked to bring with her an accurate map, calculations of impervious including drive and pool and all decking, a map with all distances by Cox Pools, the distance from the water, and response to the Ordinance 58-48 and the 6 requirements for the issuance of a variance, particularly to the hardship issue.

II. A request by Decks n Such for the Palm Shores Homeowners' Association for a 30 X 10 foot addition of a terminal platform to an existing dock located at common property adjacent to 2551 Palm Shores Drive and Garnier's Cay Phase II. Since no one was present to represent the Homeowners' request and both the Chairman and Mr. Pimental were to excuse themselves, the request was not responded to at this time. The Homeowners' will be notified that someone needs to be in attendance at the April meeting.

III. A courtesy meeting by the owners of the Shalimar Diner to request your approval for a remodeling to an Italian Restaurant called Antonio's. Mr. Rauch, the general contractor, explained the change involved only 792 square footage increase to the structure and most of this was already impervious. He had the new parking requirements and storm drainage design is not to be increased. Both of these are enclosed for your review. Mrs. Culljak made the statement that the Town Attorney at the Commission meeting stated that promises made in a meeting were not enforceable. The discussion continued with the statement by Mr. Rauch who said that he planned to rebuild the back side of the swale adjoining the residential properties to elevate the berm going into the residents back yards. Mr. Grimsley said he would present us with a letter stating the same. The Board recommended that the request be forwarded to the Town Commission. Roy Pimental moved this and it was seconded by Jimmy Jones. The motion passed on a vote of 3 to with Patti Culjak voting nay.

IV. Recommendations from the P & Z Board concerning the new FEMA map were covered at length. Jimmie Jones recommended the Town request FEMA relook the V zones, and change all of the Base Flood Elevations to 8 feet, except the area of Shalimar Drive where Garniers Cay Phase I is so low, and the corner of Gardner and Clifford and Clifford Drive itself.

ADMIN OFFICIALS REPORT: Ms. Wilkinson gave her report as attached. She did note that Nell Webb, the Deputy Clerk, had surgery last Monday and was doing well. The two new maps on the wall, the new FEMA map and the new Zoning Map had been done by George Wilkinson. Chairman Phillips requested that a get-well note be sent to Nell and a thank you expressed to George.
