Discussion pertaining to changes to the Land Development
Regulations (LOR's) - Dowling Watford.
D.
Consider a proposal in reference to the purchase of property in the
industrial park - James Slattery.
ITEM ADDED TO AGENDA: Temporary Street Closing for Southwest 18th Street -
City Clerk (Exhibit 4).
Council Member Watford advised that due to a recent conflict with a particular development and the interpretation of
the Land Development Regulations (LOR's), he questioned whether the term "project" should be defined so that it is
not misinterpreted? Specifically, the conflict involves whether or not sidewalks have to be constructed.
Mayor Kirk and Council Member Markham offered that no matter how the language is worded, someone will always
interpret it how they see fit. What matters is how the City interprets it and that we consistently enforce the LDR's. Mr.
Jeff Sumner, President of the Economic Council briefly addressed the Council, reinforcing his statements made in a
recent letter from the Economic Council to the City requesting consistency with the interpretations of the LOR's. He
noted that the letter was not due to any particular project and that they also forwarded the same letter to the County.
Council Member Williams suggested a workshop with the Land Planning Agency (LPA) to see what areas of
interpretation they would like to revisit.
The Council aareed with Attorney Cook's suggestion that he discusses areas of the LDR's with the LP A and
r.eport back to the Council. He also noted for the record that the area of sidewalks is enforceable, and since the
creation of the Technical Review Committee (TRC), the City Staff has done their best to be consistent with'
interpretation to all developers and projects. Projects and developments completed prior to the creation of the TRC
were not consistent.
Mayor Kirk elaborated for the Council, regarding a proposal from James Slattery to purchase Lot 19 of the City
Commerce Center. Mr. Slattery's intentions are to put an office on property to the South that he owns, with his facility
on Lot 19. A matter of concern is a fifty-foot right - of - way being. the only way of access to the property. The price
offered by the Mayor was twenty five-thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per acre since there are no amenities such as
paved streets, water or sewer. Attorney Cook stated on behalf of Mr. Slattery that he is interested in being a co-
applicant for the CDBG Grant. Mr. James Slattery was present and informed the Council that he is proposing to move
his Salvage business from Stuart to Okeechobee. Mr. Slattery reassured the Council that the appearance of his
business is not like the salvage businesses seen in the area and he would be able to comply with the noise ordinance,
Council Members Watford and Markham expressed their desire to visit Mr. Slattery's Salvage Business in Stuart. The
matter will be brouaht back to the Council.
Council Member Watford moved to approve a Temporary Street Closing located at Southwest 18th Street
between South Parrott Avenue and 2nd Avenue beainning April 20. 2005. until paving is complete or twenty
days: seconded by Council Member Markham. There was a brief discussion on this item.
