Rime 66 -37. Petition for Action.
Mr. Boucher questioned petitions for abandonment of city streets by adjacent property
owners and Attorney Garganese interjected that a citizen may wish to purchase city
property as well. Attorney Garganese was tasked with researching whether the City
may sell property.
66 -38. Petition Procedure.
City Clerk Susan Stills noted that the checklist indicates that the petition is directed to
the City Clerk when in fact it should be forwarded first to the Building Department.
Council agreed petitions should be filed with the Building Official, then reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning board then forwarded to the City Clerk. Mr. Boucher stated that
there should be notification to the property owners added to section (B) that contains
identical notification of special exceptions and adjusting the current paragraph (B) to
(C).
66-39. Ordinance Required.
Council requested that Attorney Garganese eliminate section 66 -39 and place a revised
paragraph in one of the above sections.
66-64. Authority of City.
Council questioned subparagraph (4). Attorney Garganese stated that section 66 -64
says very little to him and the City has a lot of authority. He also recommended "The
dirt storage should be off - street ".
66-65. Method of Installation.
Council requested deleting 66 -65 "if possible" and inserting "as approved by the City
Manager or his designee ".
Mr. Morley questioned whether other types of debris, like aggregate, should be added.
66-66. Engineering Details.
Council questioned the engineering detail for pavement replacement. Mr. Boucher
responded that this detail is attached to the application. Attorney Garganese
recommended adopting the engineering details and inserting them into the code. Mr.
Morgan recommended FDOT specifications. Example: "Apply with all Jack and bore
specifications" as per city code. Mr. Boucher will meet with Attorney Garganese to
establish a new section containing the engineering details and specifications.
