The meeting was called to order by Mayor Koch at 9:00 A.M. lie informed the
meeting that this was a public hearing of a ,joint meeting of the Town Commission
and Planning Commission to review and decide for a first reading various proposed
zoning ordinance changes.
The Commission and Planning Board proceeded to discuss the ordinance in detail.
It was agreed that Section 1, B would be amended to read as follows:
"Clubs - Organizations, which are privately owned and operated
by their members and not operated for profit which'maintain
recreational and athletic facilities for the exclusive use of
its members and their guests and uses as necessary and incidental
accessories thereto ".
(It was pointed out by Commissioner Dixson that such function and operation as
pro shops, caddy houses, cart storage, garages, maintenance sheds and buildings
and the like were intended to be included in the last clause "uses as necessary
and incidental accessories thereto".)
After full discussion of Section I, C, 1, 2 & 3, it was agreed that there would
be no specified period of time in "time- sharing" and that the phrasing of the
language would be written by Attorney John Ranaolyh. Ic was pointed out by
Town Clerk Barbara Gwynn that there were no motel, hotel, rooms or apartments
pertaining to Section 1, C, 1 6 2. It was agreed that such phrasing be deleted
from the zoning ordinance.

Commissioner Dixson then voiced his opinion concerning the 78' setback from
the center of AlA. Fie felt there should be a reference back so there would
not be inconsistencies between that setback provision contained in Chapter 9,
Section 9 -1A, and the zoning ordinance provisions. It was decided that
portion concerning the 78' setback on AlA and from the center line thereof
be referenced to the zoning ordinance to show a required 78' setback of 25%
of the depth of the lot, whichever is greater, for properties fronting on AIA.
Mayor Koch stated that further changes which are contemplated in the zoning
ordinance, must protect the Town against unacceptable results from subdividing
large properties, particularly those on AlA and the Atlantic Ocean.
The meeting reviewed Section 5 at considerable length particularly referring
to the provisions regarding setbacks and heignth. After such discussion, the
following conclusions were unanimously decided.
A. As a general guide, side and rear line setbacks should
relate to the height of the building. However, it was
concluded that the following provisions would meet
such desirable restrictions.
1. The front yard building setback would be required
at 50' and subject to the requirements contained
in Section 9, lA of the Town Ordinance.
2. The side line building setback would be established
at 2�' or 'lj% of the width of the lot, whichever is
greater. The same provision would apply to the rear
line building setbacks with regard to the maximum
height of a multi -story building. The highest a
building can be erected is four (4) stories, with a
maximum not exceeding 50' in overall height.
It was further agreed that Section 7, Outdoor Recreational District, would
conform with the apartment setback rulings and that the height requirement
would be the same.
The Commission then discussed the matter of signs. Mayor Koch said there should
be a maximum size for signs and if a larger one was needed, a variance could be
requested. He stated that he wanted to include in the zoning ordinance that
after property is sold, the real estate sign should be removed. The meeting
concluded that no sign permitted shall exceed two square feet pursuant to
Section 6, G, C, c 1, 2 6 d. It was turtner decided that signs designating
and naming clubs and schools should be limited to six (6) square feet in total.

The meeting noted again that a revised zoning map as required by the Town's
resolution of March 23, 1973, and which provision for such map was overlooked
in the future land use map revised March, 1979, would require correction. This,
it was concluded, would be done and the new corrected map be attached to the
revised ordinance. Mr. Gene Caputo informed the meeting that the map would be
ready at the time of final adoption of the revised zoning ordinance.
There being no further questions or comments, meeting adjourned, 10:40 A.M.
