Mayor Horton introduced Mr. Harrows who then explained that he could '
go over all the Ordinances and rewrite them, stating that the Town
must have strong Ordinances, and should have laws to control the ,~~>j
growth in the Town.He further suggested that an architect or landscape '"
architect serve on an appearance board, and that screening of parking,
set backs, lighting control, and a certain percent of property for
.landscaping could b'e written into new Zoning Ordinances. Mr. Burrows
also warned the Commission as to the possibility of a solid wall of ~"ter
high rises East of AlA and one long parking lot West of AlA and ex-
plained that to provide a buffer zone as to height and set backs the
whole Town should be rezoned. Mr. Beekman said that he would prefer
to accept recommendations from Mr. Burrows. Mr. Horton said that he
was concerned about Bel Lido and also added that a large tract south
of Town was sold to a Pennsylvania builder for development in the near
future. Mayor Horton suggested that in as much as this was only a work-
shop meeting, after the Finance committee had investigated as to the
cost of retaining Mr. Burrows it could be put as a motion before the
Town meeting. The Commission will write an agreement to hire Mr. Burrows
to review and rewrite the Zoning Ordinances, putting an outside limit
on his time on an hourly basis with the Finance committee to see how
the Town stands in its budget so a proposal can be made at the next
Town meeting. The Town Attorney would make the final review.of the
rewritten Ordinances.
Mayor Horton read a letter from Mr. Don Ross about cleaning up a lot
adjacent to the North of the Nautilus so he can sell the property. It
will be reread at the Town meeting in as much as it is an Ordinance and
has to be acted upon. He also read a letter from the Winterhalter Inn
about the adding of a bar, lounge and restaurant in the future. S?he~~are
officially requesting a variance in the zoning to permit biulding a de-
luxe type restaurant either on the Canal or Ocean side and want- this to
go on record.
Mayor Horton read a letter from the architect for the Marina clarifying
set backs, specifications and the materials to be used in construction.
Mrs. Noble explained that Russell Rd. will be 50' wide and that they are
not aware of this for a proper set back. A site plan was submitted and
the name changed to Sporting Goods and they want action. The council is
not accepting the request at this time objecting to;;,live bait sales,
which is considered obnoxious and not part of a Sporting Goods Store.
A letter is to be sent by the Town Attorney stating such.
Vice Mayor Noble has asked to be relieved
and that the Town should consider getting
Commissioner as she is resigning soon.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:30 A. M.
