that his misunderstanding was in proper notification Mayor Pro Tem Petsos expressed his desire to change the requirement and ensure that the City always provides notification Attorney McQuagge replied that the Statute is very clear that the notification provided in it is a minimum City of Cape Canaveral Florida City Council Regular Meeting March 19 2002 Page 7 requirement Mr Morgan referred to State Statutes Section 166 041(c) 1 and noted state guidelines for a municipality saying that the Council should make these guidelines the same for an individual Mayor Pro Tem Petsos requested an ordinance or resolution to require notification whether it is of the City or an individual Mayor Pro Tem Petsos requested that before the Council meets on this item again that all property owners are notified Attorney McQuagge provided caution in that the Code does provide for direct notice for affected property owners that are contiguous to the possible modification For example in the case of a special exception or variance direct notices are sent to adjacent property owners but that is done in lieu of notices published 14 days prior to the hearing Such notice is the requirement for what was

additional obligation by the City to provide these property owners additional litigation Attorney McQuagge stated that this is a consideration when a property owner disagrees with the Council that the first point of attack is if proper notice were given If the City is in a situation of adding additional requirements Council will possibly be creating litigious issues of proper procedure Attorney

notifications He explained that if staff is made responsible for this additional procedure that it might impact the timeliness of the process Mayor Randels concluded that the position of the Council
