Brown, Johnson, Karns, McKibbin, Faville, Collins, and Lee. Also present were Building Inspector Yelvington and City Manager Knowles. Chairman Brown cAlled the meeting to order. Mr. Kay Shoemaker was present to discuss his request for re- zoning from R -1 to C -1, Lots 1, 2, and 3. Block 1, 2nd Section of Dreamwold. After considerable discussion, Mr. McKibbin moved that they recommend the rezoning of these lots from R -1 to C -N. Seconded by Mr. Karns and passed. John Owens appeared in regards to his request for rezoning of Lot 13, Block 1 Fairview, from R -1 to R -3. It was brought out that all five lots on the south end of this block were owned by colored folks and that a colored home had existed on Lot 27 for over 25 years. Chairman Brown requested that the matter be deferred until next meeting due to the request coming in so.late that the members were unable to view the property. Mr. Faville moved to request the City Attorney for a written opinion in regards to the Board of Adjustment granting a variance that permits a garage apartment in an area that does not allow it. Seconded by Mr. Johnson and passed. Mr. McKibbin spoke out that past policy has not allowed the colored zones inside the city limits to expand. He believes that it would be a bad example to recommend any expansion as requested by Owen's rezoning. Mr. Brown brought to the Commission's attention the fact that the Florida Zoning and Planning Association is having a convention in Miami on October 17 -191b. Mr. McKibbin moved that they recommend to the City Commission that a delegate be sent with all expenses paid and suggested either the building inspector or city manager. Seconded by Mr. Collins and passed. Mr. Brown informed the Commission that the County Zoning Board had recommended the adoption of the zoning requirements to the County Commission. Mr. McKibbin brought up for further thought that the Com- mission may want to consider recommending the establishment of a parking authority. The purpose would'be to provide additional parking lots. Mr. Yelvington discussed several needed changes with the Commission. They were as follows: Ir Z & P "Minutes" October 3, 1957 - 2 - 1. Reduce the lot area requirements in the R -2 districts from 3,000 square feet to 2,900 square feet to allow two - family units to be constructed in this zone. 2. Although multiple family zones for both white and colored require ten foot side yards, it is suggested that single family dwellings in these zones would require seven and one -half foot side yards. 3. It is suggested that a paragraph be added to R -2, R -4, and R -5 zones to allow garage apart- ments to be built provided it does not occupy more than thirty percent of the total lot area and only when used with a single family dwelling as the main building on the lot. Mr. McKibbin moved that the above three recommendations be submitted to the City Commission. Seconded by Mr. Faville and passed. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Chairman retary
