G. Platis,_ President
Mr. Tate, representative for Highway Oil, Inc., explained that a
canopy and islands were removed in order to remove and replace the
underground tanks because the underground tanks did not comply with
EPA State codes. He pointed out that other stations in the general
area had canopies that did not meet the current setback_
requirements and that the closest portion of the canopy for Highway
Oil would be approximately 13 feet into the setback. Mr. Tate.-
stated that if the variance was not granted, it would impose a
hardship to the business because of inconvenience to customers due
to undesirable lighting and bad weather. He noted that the
Building Department had approved the footer to anchor the canopy
and that the footers had already been installed. The Board members
reviewed photos of the canopy footers.
Mr. Kleving, Building Inspector, commented that the applicant had
applied for a building permit to install the footers and canopy.
However, the application was turned down and no inspection was made
of the footers because it was the Building Official's opinion that
an inspection would be a tacit approval for the permit on erection
of the canopy. The applicant had been instructed by the Building
Official to have engineering approval on the footers and canopy
drawing. Mr. Tate reiterated that the footers had engineering
approval and certification.

Mr. Kleving noted that it was the Building Official's
interpretation that the canopy would encroach into the setback and
The Board members reviewed photos of the proposed canopy and also
existing canopies on stations in the general area. Mr. Berger
commended the Building Department staff for taking photos and
measurements of existing canopies in service stations in the area.
Discussion followed.
It was determined that since the structure was more than 50t
destroyed, the replacement of the canopy had to comply with current
regulations.
Mr. Kleving and Ms. Hutcherson, Code Enforcement Officers, could
not foresee any definable safety hazards it the variance was
granted. It was Ms. Wheeler's opinion that the canopy would
enhance the neighborhood and service station.
The Board members reviewed the Zoning Regulations, Sections 641.23,
Accessory Structures; 643. 05, Non-Conforming Structures; 64 3. 07 (B) ,
Non-Conforming Uses of Structures; and 641.21(E) Setback
Encroachments. Discussion followed.
It was the consensus of the Board members that the pumps and canoov
were removed as a result of complying with EPA regulations to
replace underground tanks; that a hardship existed which was not
self-imposed; and that it was an irregular piece of property not
easily usable for anything.
Mr. Thurm moved to recommend approval of Variance Request No.
91 to the Board of Adjustment. Ms. Wheeler seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:05

Chairman Russell reviewed the RPUD submittal steps that had been
followed. He noted Section 640.13(5), Review Criteria was the next
step which needed to be addressed.
The Board members reviewed the RPUD submittal to establish that the
exhibits required in the Ordinance had been properly followed. In
reviewing the submittal, it was pointed out that no easements would
exist, until the land was platted. Mr. Kammarude, spoke for the
applicant. He noted locations of adjoining developments. He stated
that future off street parking would be contained on individual
driveway(s) and /or garaae(s) within the RPUD development.
Chairman Russell explained that the RPUD Ordinance was written as
though a developer intended to build the entire project. Mr.
Kammarude pointed out that the RPUD would be developed; the lots
would be sold with deed restrictions; and an architectural
committee would be formed to review any construction plans. He
also noted that the construction plans would be reviewed by the
Building Official.
Mr. Kammarude explained that the site data was included on the
submitted drawing noting that the common open space included a lake
and an existing canal to the South of the property. The
delineation of specific areas was designated as one stage. Mr.
Kammarude explained that the preliminary plan would accommodate

runoff by usina a curb /autter system with underground pipe and an
aeration system so that all of the drainage would be stored on site
with no out fall. He noted that the undeveloped site dr.ainaae
presently discharaed into the existina lake.
Mr. Kammarude stated that the secondary non - residential use,
depicted on the submitted drawing totaled 1.58 acres, would be
devoted to commercial use and presently had no development plans.
Some of the Board members questioned whether commercial use could
be considered as part of the RPUD request. Discussion followed.
Mr. Kammarude noted that preliminary house sketches were submitted.
However, it was impossible to foresee the exact structures that the
individual owners would build on the lots.
Mr. Kammarude noted that ever_ythina contained in Section 640.13
(2)(C) was included on the submitted Topographical Survey and that
the enaineerina requirements would be included on a submitted site
plan. He further noted that the arade of the property would be
established and would conform with the Subdivision of Land
Regulations and sold as individual buildable lots.
Ms. Wheeler asked the developer who would oversee that the deed
restrictions were enforced. Mr. Lorie answered that the developer
would have full control until 27 lots had been sold. Mr. Eric
Biewind, Associate for Lorie & Associates, Inc., advised that an
owner could be sued by the people in the development if the owner
did not follow the requirements specified in the deed restrictions.
Attorney Bennett advised that the submitted deed restrictions did
not meet the RPUD code. Mr. Biewind commented that the deed
restrictions would need to be approved when the request, was ready
for final approval. Discussion continued.
It was Mr. Thurm's opinion that the submittal was inadequate until
such time the non - residential area was included in the preliminary
plan.
Attorney Bennett advised against the Board changina the ordinance
through interpretation by defining secondary non - residential use
as commercial use. Discussion followed.
Mr. Lorie stated that the land had been recorded and that the
acreaae totalled 10.01 acres. He advised that the lot prices
ranged from 527,000 to $78,000.
Mr. Washburn announced that he would abstain from voting due to the
fact that he was employed by the realty company hired by the
developer to market the property. It was his opinion that single
family deed restrictions were made to create better places to live
for people who want to live in better places. It was Ms. Wheeler's
opinion that the submitted deed restrictions were not thorough
enough.
Mr. Thurm read Section 640.01 of the RPUD Ordinance. If was his
opinion that the intent was not to have conventional subdivisions
scaled down in lot size. He also expressed his concerns reaardina
the open space requirement. He noted that the developer was usina
the canal as open space which conflicted with the ordinance. Mr.
Kammarude stated that the canal was public and recorded with the
Department of Transportation and that the canal was in the
easement. He also noted that the proposed lake was 2.6 acres and
would be utilized as an easement. He further noted that the
sidewalks were not included in the open space calculations.
Discussion followed.

Section 640.01 (A -F) . Chairman Russell polled the members for
their opinions as to the RPUD submittal. Discussion followed.

addressed. Mr. Beraer summarized the items as follows: Secondary
non - residential use totallina 1.58 acres; Retention areas, open
space, green areas, sidewalks and the canal; and lack of

The meetina reconvened at 9:40 P.M. Attorney Bennett advised that

Chairman Russell explained that it was his opinion that any special
exception or variance previously granted would remain the same.
He noted that the Board members were reviewing the ordinance.
Leo Nicholas, a citizen, stated that when an applicant requested
a special exception or variance, the Board based their decision on
the concept that was presented to them and acts accordingly. It
was his opinion that when an ownership changed, the new owner(s)
intention for use could be different from the previous owner(s).
Mr. Thurm voiced his opinion that an applicant should not request
a special exception or variance until ready to use it in order to
avoid a granted special exception or variance never being used.

established on future granted special exceptions or variances. The
Board members also discussed previously granted special exceptions
being abandoned or changed.

Mr. Berger thanked Ms. Hutcherson for taking the time to provide

3. Discussion _Re: . �Concep ts of Townh ouses in the City
Ms. Wheeler stated that she had asked for this item to be placed
on the agendas repeatedly. She further stated that she had areat
difficulty in explaining herself and getting her concept across.
She explained that she was not fastened on townhouses pursue. She
did not have any big objection to townhouses. She had obser-7ed
that there was a trend in the City to construct townhouses. After
researching, she was appalled to find that the City had allowed so
much residential in the commercial zone. It was her opinion that
the criteria for recommending a special exception was very brief
and it had appeared to her that there were numerous special
exceptions granted in every category and particularly no procedure
for analyzing their value. It was also her opinion that there was
no way that an intelligent person could come into the City, look
at a City zonina map and have any idea of what was going on in the
City. She stated that one of her main concerns was the trend of
the City.
Mr. Thurm explained that commercial entities preferred to go south
to Cocoa Beach because the businesses were more profitable there.
It was his opinion that the City benefited from granting special
exceptions for residential use in a commercial zone and that
residential was in demand and appeared to be the trend of the City.
He agreed that the concept of townhouses seemed to be stereotyped
with limited creativity and originality.
Mr. Thurm explained to Ms. Wheeler that C -1 property owners did not
want their commercial property re -zoned residential because
commercial property was sometimes worth two or three times greater
than residential. Discussion followed.

needed to work out some common criteria to make judgments on
approvina or disapproving special exceptions. Mr. Beraer asked the
Secretary to include Ms. Wheeler's discussion item on the next
agenda. The Secretary concurred.
4. Discussion Re: Recommendations_ to Chancre Various City
Regulations, _ Ordinance C <__ Plan and Land
Development Regulations
Ms. Lester summarized the recommendations previously addressed to
be changed. She noted that after all of the recommendations had
been discussed and concluded to be chanaed by the Board members,
the chances would then be typed in final draft form and recommended
to City Council.
The Board members reviewed additional recommendations contained in
a memorandum dated Auctust 22, 1991, from Linda Lester. She
questioned whether or not the Planning & Zoning Board actually

process only after the City Attorney reviews them. for
discrepancies.
The Board members discussed the definition of secondary non-

Attorney Woodman gave a legal opinion of a lawsuit referred to as
The First Interstate vs. Leo Nicholas which was entered as an
exhibit at the previous meeting.
Attorney Woodman believed that Mr. Murphy had entered the document
to point out certain contents included in that lawsuit. It was
his opinion that the meaning of a special exception contained in
the lawsuit was correct. He read a portion of Section 645.23 of
the Cape Canaveral Zoning Regulations and advised that the burden
for making the final decision for granting or not granting a
special exception was the responsibility of the Board of
Adjustments.
Attorney Woodman suggested that the Planning & Zoning Board give
the rationale for determining their decision for either
recommending or not recommending a special exception request to the
Board of Adjustments. Discussion followed.
Mr. Everett referred the Board to Section 645.13, Paragraphs (A)
and (R) of the Cape Canaveral Zoning Regulations. Mr. Everett

exception for residential use in a commercial zone it should not
be considered undesirable. He further stated that a developer of
commercial property would investigate the market and demanded needs
of the community prior to requesting a special exception to
construct residential. Discussion followed.

exceptions was included in the City regulations; however, the
criteria had not been exercised by the Board in the past.
Discussion followed.
