Minutes of Meeting of Town Commission
RECESSED WORKSHOP TO REVIEW
PROPOSED ZONING REVISIONS
Tuesday, February 21, 1984 1:30 P.M.
A Recessed Meeting to review the Proposed Zoning Revisions was
called to order by Vice Mayor Mary Louise G. Blosser at 1:30 p1~m.
in the Town Commission Chambers at Highland Beach Town Hall. Also
present were Commissioners William E. Paul and Harry Walker.
Commissioner Betty Jean Stewart arrived at approximately 2:00 p.m.
Mayor Louis Y. Horton was absent.
Also present were Town Attorney Lewis Petzold; Town Manager
Elaine W. Roberts; Town Clerk Mary Ann Whaley; citizens and
the general public. Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney arrived at
approximately 3:00 p.m.
Substantial discussion took place regarding the overlapping duties
of the Planning Commission and the Community Appearance Board.
• Vice Mayor Blosser read a memorandum dated March 23, 1982 from the
Building Official to the Town Manager citing conflicts between
the Planning Commission and the CAB. Attorney Petzold indicated
that this matter should be studied inasmuch as it was his opinion
that the CAB should not be involved in the approval of structures,
as this was governed by the Zoning Code and within the purvue of
the Planning Commission. Attorney Petzold indicated that "grey areas"
existed regarding the authority of a Community Appearance Board
and same should be scrutinized and downgraded. Both Commissioner
Stewart and Mrs. Amelie Leng of the CAB cited the Criteria used by
the CAB and noted that it had been adopted by Ordinance of the
Town Commission in Ordinance No. 205. It was the general feeling
of the Town Commission that the VAB's scope of responsibility dealt
with aesthetic factors rather than structural ones and that the
responsibilities should be outlined in the site plan review pro-
cedures of the zoning ordinance now under consideration.
The section by section review of the Zoning revisions then continued
covering pages 40, "Site plan review procedures" through 44, ending
with "Definitions". Copies of those pages with noted, recommendations
and suggestions thereon are attached hereto and made a part of these
minutes.
