OLD BUSINESS:  A motion was made by Member Gable to approve the minutes of the May 25th meeting.  Member Behnken seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.

 

NEW  BUSINESS:

1.      A variance request was made by residents at 8 Plew Avenue for a permanent accessory building, with no plumbing or electric, on the rear side of their yard. Shalimar Code 82-149 was discussed which requires a 5’X5’ variance on each side of a structure.  A motion was made by Member Gable to allow the variance permitting the structure only if there is a 5’X5’ variance as required by Shalimar Code.  Member Behnken seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.

 

2.      The Comprehensive Plan timeline was presented by Manager Burns.  He suggested that the EAR handout would be a good table of contents for the report.  It was further explained that we would be required to hold three public hearings over the next 15 months.  The first meeting will require the major issues to be addressed and then set.  The final draft of the Comp Plan will be completed at the second public hearing and approval of the plan will be accomplished at the third and final public meeting.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1.      Manager Burns informed the board to anticipate a zoning change from the residents of #11 Plew Ave. and a building permit from Joe Wood on Sunset Bay Court at the July 27th Planning and Zoning Meeting.

2.      The Shalimar Yacht Harbor Redevelopment Corp. is holding a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Concept Development meeting on July 21, 2005 .  The Commission was advised to not speak with one another at this meeting so any conflict with the Sunshine Laws would be prevented.

 

 

ADJOURNMENT:  A motion was made by Member Behnken at 7:00 to adjourn the meeting.  Member Gable seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
