11.07.57ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION
Regular Meeting
November 7, 1957
Members present were Messers. Brown, Faville, Karns, Morgan,
and Talley. Also present were Building Inspector Yelvington and
City Manager Knowles.
Chairman. Brown called the meeting to order.
The request for rezoning of the Northly 125 feet of Lot 44,
J.E. Pace's Sub - division from an R -1 to a C -N zone in order to
use the property for proposed construction of a pharmacy shop was
presented by Kenneth E. Slack, owner.
The Commission went into a lengthy discussion in regards to
this request. Mr. Karns questioned the fact that the board receives
many individual rezoning requests and that possibly the board does
too much individual rezoning. Mr. Brown stated that when the Zoning
Ordinance is re- worked, he felt that individual rezoning requests
would be reduced greatly.
Mr. Brown also stated that he felt that the board should not
reduce the R--2 zone at the expense of the commercial areas. Also,
Mr. Karns' thought on this was that it would be well to give much
consideration to the hospital being in this area and the fact that
lowering the zoning could bring in down- grading establishments.
Mr. Faville moved that the request be denied due to the fact
that the commercial area should not be extended or increased at
this particular location since there is now a buffer zone which
is of value-in its present status. Motion seconded by Mr. Karns
and carried.
Mr. Brown then brought up the fact that the creation of a
duplex area with regards to an overlay map and requirements there-
of should have some more discussion.
Mr. Brown brought to the board's attention that the County
Zoning Regulations would be presented for public hearing on November
19a, at 2:00 p.m. at the Court House in the County Commission Room
and requested that as many of the Zoning and Planning members as
possible try to be present.
Mr. Yelvington then asked the board for permission to discuss
Section 5, Exceptions, Items 1 and 2, of the Zoning Ordinance. He
stated that in many cases he has encountered the following examples:
1. Building has only an 8 -foot front yard in lieu of a
10 -foot front yard as required, and had requested a
permit to make an addition on the back because they
had an excessive rear yard area.

2. Building has a 10 -foot and a 25 -foot side yard;
10 -foot front yard, with a 2-foot rear yard, but
would like to make an addition on the side where
the larger side yard exists.
It was the consensus of opinion of the board that this would
still constitute a request for variance and must go before the
Board of Adjustment.
It was brought to the board's attention by Chairman Brown
that there would be a "Certificate Course" in Deland, Florida on
December 9b, 10th, and 11tb and that possibly some of the Zoning
and Planning members could find time from their duties to attend.
There being no further business for discussion, Mr. Morgan
moved for adjournment. Seconded by Mr. Karns and motion carried.
