HomeMy Public PortalAbout03/09/1982W..z7P 71 MARCH 9, 1962 The meeting commenced at 9:00 a.m. The committee discussed a letter from John Randolph(copy attached) in reference to Mr. Dixon's inquiry about changing the zoning ordinances. It was Mr. Randolph's opinion that the ordinances are "antiquated and in need of much revision ". It was Mr. Randolph's desire to have a complete and total new structure. Mr. Dixbn suggested working with Mr. Caputo in revising and cross referencing the ordinances. It was previously decided to delete references to all commercial uses although there are still ordinances in the code that refer to business uses. An example was made of Chapter 4 on page 399 in that the Southern Standard Building Code was now the Standard Building Code and that editions have been added and amended. Rather than putting in the dates, just say the most current date. In further discussion, Mr. Pfeifler recommended that we get an estimate of the cost to revise the codes. The Map was to be considered a separate WP entity. Mr. Caputo will get with Mr. Randolph to cone up 'with an estimate of this cost and will present it to the Co mmittee.meeting on March 12. Having a revision of the map would be for the puriJose of efficency as it could list addresses and additional dimensions that would assist the Town Clerk and her assistant, enabling them to not have to rely on the plats. It was decided that re- zoning was necessary in order to protect the Town from multi - family zoning and change it to single fan-Lily zoning. Example was made of Lots 3 -9 Block D & E on the north side of E1 Cortiquo. It is presently zoned multi- family and could be single family zoning. This will be taken up at a later date. It does not show it to be single family zoning. The Plan will have to be changed first-and then the rezoning. It was further discussed that the present building inspections is inadequate. At this point, there is only a final inspection done. It was suggested that we impose that a second survey is done after the foundation is completed. Final analysis of the meeting was to accomplish the following: (1.) Clean up the wording in the ordinances,(2) Revising the Official: Town Base Map to show addresses, and (3) Re- zoning. There being no further comments, meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m. BARBARA GWYNN N 91' /• •9191 •M� X91 191 !

Town of Gulf Stream 246 Sea Road Gulf Stream, FL 33444 '* Attention: Mr. Dixon Re: Town of Gulf Stream - Zoning Ordinance 1 g y' Dear Mr. Dixon: I am writing this letter in r esponse to your request for my s suggestions and advice in regard to the sufficiency of the present Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Gulf Stream. As I have advised you, it is strictly a policy decision as to whether or not the Commission wishes to make ektensive changes in the Zoning Ordinance. The Ordinance has served' long the Town well over the past several years. As to how the Ordinance will continue to sufficiently protect the at a ' interests of the Town, no one can predict. Lookin ordinance. however, strictly from la. legal stan po n ase u o ,m familiari ocal munici al sties I am com elled to advise tha Or finance is antiquate an in nee of much revis on.

Such revisions would take a good deal of time and analysis, both from a legal standpoint and a land planning stand -,H point. I cannot accurately predict what the cost of such revi- sions would be. The appropriate method would be for the Commis -'. sion to make a determination as to whether or not they want this work done, to outline what they wish to be done and to present it to a consultant for purposes of giving the Commission an estimated cost. JOHNSTON, SASSER. RANDOLPH & WEAVER by r Mr. Dixon Page Two September 9, 1981 Some of the general areas which are in need of revision, in the event the Town Commission is of a mind to consider exten- sive amendments to the Zoning ordinance are as follows: 1. incorporate much of the language set forth in Chapter 9:of the Code of Ordinances • of the Town relating to planning and plats €r and the Town Planning Board into the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Revise in its entirety Section 9 of the K. Zoning Ordinance relating to Special Excep- tions. The language set forth therein seems to confuse special exceptions with variances. Sz y, I 3. Section 14 relating to Town Planning Board should be revised and combined with ;^ the language at Page 926 of the Code. 4. The definitions could stand a complete ti revision. w A. 5. Incorporate the recreational vehicle 10 ordinance into the zoning ordinance.£.; 6. Incorporate the flood control ordinance < ` into the zoning ordinance. 7.
