PZ 03-09-1976 Minutes of the Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Held March 9, 1976
Present: Ch. Bowness; Members Brooklyn, Peck, McRobert, Thomas,
Carter, and Turner.
Absent: None
The meeting was called to order at 7:43 P.M. by Chairman Bowness.
The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was postponed
until after the one item on the agenda by Chairman Bowness.
MR. ROBERT GIBSON came before the board to request permission
to use the building he owns at the corner of Kissimmee and Columbus
Streets (known as 600 Kissimmee according to the present system of
numbering in the City of Ocoee) for a shop to rebuild and repair
generators, starters, and batteries. He had applied for an occupa-
tional license and had been denied because the property is in I -1
zoning in an area that still is entirely residential.
After much discussion as to why Mr. Gibson was sent before this
board, the members agreed that they could find no reason to deny a
license. So Mr. Thomas made a motion to recommend to Council that
they cause an occupational license to be issued to the applicant for
the requested business using the existing building on the property
at 600 Kissimmee with the option that it can be renewed in one year
if there are to be no structural changes in the building. Mr. Carter
seconded. Unanimously passed.
Mr. McRobert made a suggestion that the board put on their agenda
the intent to review certain parts of the zoning regulations so that
the board's actions are in accordance with the original intent of
the regulations as drawn up or change the reading of the regulations.
Mr. McRobert made a motion to send City Commissioners a vote of
thanks for the copy of their minutes. Mr. Thomas seconded. Unanimously
passed.
The minutes of the previous meeting which was a public hearing
on March 4, 1976 were accepted as read.
The motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Turner and seconded by
Mr. Peck. Unanimously passed at 8:43 P.M.
Respectfully submitted
