Resolution amending Resolution No. 522 which established "Zoning in

submitted by Mr. Gary Gordon.
The Town Manager explained that the purpose of this Special Meeting is
to take up a Resolution regarding exemptions for properties offering a
minimum of 33-1/3~ reduction in allowable density under the zoning
ordinance in effect at the time of application.
• Commissioner Rome commented that she read the entire Resolution and it
reads very well.
Town Attorney Sliney noted that the Town Manager did a good job
incorporating the suggestions, made by Commissioner Waldman at the last
Regular Meeting of the Town Commission, into the Resolution.
The Resolution was read in its entirety by the Deputy Town Clerk.
MOTION was made by COMMISHICNER RCMEj~OMM'IS~IONER SCHOLZ to accept the
Resolution as read. The MOTION carried without objection.
The next agenda item, a request for exemption from "Zoning in Progress"
submitted by Mr. Gary Gordon, was considered.
Town Manager Mariano explained that Mr. Gordon is proposing to reduce
the density by constructing a duplex (rather than a triplex) building on
the northwest corner of Bel Air Drive and A-1-A. The Town Manager noted
that it would be an asset for the Town to have that vacant parcel
developed. The Town Manager stated that Gary Gordon is present to
address any questions the Commission may have in regard to his proposal
noted that plans are available for review in the Building Department.
When questioned as to what precipitated his change in density, Mr.
Gordon explained that the property is expensive and he could not afford
to build the three units at this time.
