APPROVALS Mr. Lande moved to approve the minutes of the meeting held December 11, 1984. Chairman Breeze corrected page 2 regarding his statement concerning the developer of Burnt Tree compensating the City to read, "Developer should compensate the City for looping the new street proposed in Burnt Tree with the loop that goes between Mobile and Security Lane." Mr. Sanders seconded the motion and minutes were unanimously approved as corrected. PROPOSED ORDINANCE - SET BACKS FROM LAKES City Engineer Tom Kelley advised Board that his firm had submitted to Commission proposed sub - division rules setting out rules which would, if /when adopted, negate the need for the proposed ordinance. Their proposal deals with the mechanics of developing land beginning with the presentation of plans to a development review committee and continuing through the necessary public hearings and inspections to completion. After lengthy discussion regarding the merits of the sub - division rules, Chairman Breeze pointed out that the agenda calls for a decision regarding set backs from lakes and asked for a motion. Mr. Colella moved to pass the proposed ordinance for minimum setbacks as presented. Mr. Smith seconded and vote was carried with one dissenting vote from Mr. Swickerath, who contended that a moratorium would be better than an ordinance that is not well thought out. PROPOSED ANNEXATION - GEORGE C. JOHNS, ADAIR STREET City Manager Griffin pointed out the location of Mr. Johns' property on the east edge of Adair Street near Ocoee Garden Villas, and advised Board that the Commission had approved the annexation conceptually and referred matter to P & Z for an opinion. City Manager also advised Board that he has been instructed to provide the names of the owners of enclaves of county property surrounded by City so that Mayor Ison can approach them regarding annexing. Mr. Beckemeyer, agent for Mr. Johns, said that there are presently no plans for developing the 4 acres, but that if plans are necessary before annexation will be considered he would bring some in. There was some discussion regarding the R2 zoning noted in the annexation petition and City Manager cautioned against pursuing the dis- cussion as it might be misconstrued as contract zoning. Mr. Sanders moved to recommend approval of the annexation petition and Mr. Brooklyn seconded. Vote was unanimous in favor. *Correction: Should be Mr. Smith PLANING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING JANUARY 8, 1985 Page 2 ALTERNATE MEMBER BATEMAN POSITION OPEN Chairman Breeze pointed out that as Mr. Bateman has been elected City Commissioner the position he held as alternate member on P & Z Board is open and consideration should be given to his replacement.
