Phil Hoyle William S. LaPorte Also attending: Mrs. Kathleen Kirton, Mrs. Elza Oliver, Mrs. Thomas Ireland. Messrs. Roy Cowart, Wm. Gwynn Gary Gooder, Henry Pope, Henry Lilienthal. Mayor Dodson called the meeting to order. The minutes of the meeting held Jan. 8, 1966 were read approved and adopted. The Financial & Water Report for January, 1966 was read and approved. All expenditures included in this report were approved. A check from Florida Power and Light Co. was accepted as payment on the franchaise. The amount $3,763.93 as compared with 3,342.01 last year. A letter and petition from Mr. and Mrs. Walter P. Helmsley was read. This letter asked permission to start construction on a new house in Place au Soleil on February 21, 1966. All property owners within 500' had signed this letter stating no objection. The Commission voted unanimously to grant the variance. CPreliminary water main extension plans were submitted to the Commission from Brockway, Owen and Anderson. The Commission accepted these plans. s; Police reports for January, 1966 were read. A list of names of registered voters to be purged from the rolls was presented to the Commission by the Deputy Town Clerk. It was moved and seconded that these names be removed. Motion passed. A list of these names is included and becomes a part of these minutes. A sample election ballot to be used in the Town Election March 1, 1966 was reviewed by the Commission. Mrs. Ireland asked the Commission to state the Town's position regarding the 10' easement for beach path on the south end of her property. She asked if the Town is going to maintain it, and police it. After a general discussion the Commission instructed Mr. Lilienthal to research all tho easements set up for beach paths and report back just what the Town is responsible for in its obligations, liability and enforcement practice. Proposed ordinance #134 a subdivision ordinance placed on first reading April 10, 1965 was brought up for 2nd reading, Mr. Iglehart said Mr. Pope had expressed objections to this ordinance and have asked that he be given a chance to study it and make changes. Commission meeting held February 12, 1966 cont. 2. Mr. Pope said he had notes to discuss but did not have them with him. It was moved and seconded that this ordinance be tabled until the March meeting when the new Commission could discuss it with Mr. Pope. Motion passed. A letter from Mr. Henry Pope was read. This letter is included and becomes a part of these minutes. This letter stated that in view of opinions expressed at the Town meeting my offer is modified as follows: 1. The entire business area be moved to the extreme north end of Town. 2. Permissive use of the Polo fields be changed from polo to golf. 3. Offer off 2001 of beach is hereby withdrawn. Mr. Pope also submitted evidence that the tract of land just to the north of the north Town limits is county zoned commercial and not residential as Mr. Koch had stated at the Town Meeting. Mr. Hart said he would not vote for the zoning change in view of the feelings expressed at the Town Meeting. Mr. LaPorte said he would not vote for any change either. He said this matter like the subdivision ordinance should be tabled until the new Commission takes office in March. Mr. Iglehart said that the voters not just residents of the Town are faced with these decisions: 1. Do nothing, as recommended by the Civic Association. 2. Accept Mr. -Popes offer. 3. As Mrs. Phipps suggested, to arbitrarily rezone the business area into residential with no exchange, a move which I consider legally possible but entirely dishonest and I will not vote for it unless he is reimbursed for his loss. If we can get rid of the present business zone, it will be a great service to the Town. Taxes and carrying charges make it more burdensome for the property to remain undeveloped. The Commission can do a great service for the Town by making the swap in zoning or rezone it and pay Pope for the loss. Mr. Pope stated that he could prove the loss if the land is rezoned from business to residential. Mr. Hoyle asked if the B zone is now plated. Mr. Pope said No. Mr. Hart asked if the permissive use change from polo to golf is part of the offer. Mr. Pope replied that the zoning ordinance is not clear on this point. It may not require any action by the Town to change it. Mr. Pope said that the expressions at the Town Meeting indic:.ted noone was for a public beach. Mr. Iglehart asked Mr. Hart if he thought the B zone should be left as it is now. Mr. Hart replied No, he thought the best solution was to rezone it residential and pay Mr. Pope for the loss. Mr. Iglehart said we should get the people to decide the issue and we should get the people to realize what could happen if the area l is left as is. Mrs. Oliver stated that she did not object to apartment zone at the north end of Town but was opposed to business zone. 1 Commission Meeting Held Feb. 12, 1966 Cont. Page 3. Mr. Pope replied where do you want it. Mr. Hoyle: The Commission should try to persuade Mr. Pope to agree to a swap -W. B zone for C zone. -rh 4 It was moved and seconded that furt1jer discussion be tabled until the new commission takes office. Motion passed. Mayor Dodson said the Commission got an expression from the people at the Town Meeting. I think that Mr. Pope knew what he was getting at the time he purchased the land. If he should offer a definite program that would be desireable to the Town I would vote in favor of the needed zoning changes. Mr. Pope said he wished the Commission would act on the matter now, that it is certainly for the good of the Town. He further stated that he would like each commissioner to state his position on this matter. Mr. Iglehart: The offer is an excellent one for the Town and you. I would vote yes to swap a B zone for the C zone. I would not vote in favor of swapping B zone for B zone. I would rather in that case rezone the B zone to residential and pay you for the loss. I also think we should postpone the decision until the new commission is installed. Mr. Hoyle said that he would like for Mr. Pope to offer to swap B zone for xC zone, then he would be in favor of the rezoning. Mr. Hart said that he would like for the Town to buy the business zone and then rezone it residential. Mr. LaPorte said he was opposed to keeping the B zone as it is and since Mr. Pope had withdrawn his offer to rezone the business area to residential if the Club would rezone its C zone to residential he thought the best solution was to rezone the business area to residential and pay him for his loss or buy the business zone. He further stated that he was against any swap in zoning. �- Meeting adjourned.
