23. Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come
forward.
Ned Webster, representing the applicant and owners,
appeared before the Council.
Mr. Webster requested rebuttal time.
Mr. Webster asked if it was a Council policy or an ordinance
that stated a three-fourths majority vote was required on
an appeal hearing. Mr. Webster stated he had researched
the City files and ordinances and had been unable to find
this rule.
Mr. McEntire stated that this requirement was in the
previous zoning ordinance but was not included in the
new zoning ordinance.
Mr. Webster stated the question was not whether it was a
good or bad idea to sell beer, the issue was land use.
Mr. Webster stated they did not intend to have unsightly
signs, all lighting would be direct and the property
would be landscaped.
Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in
opposition to this request to please come forward.
Mr. Stan Johensen, 6412 Diamond Loch, appeared before
the Council.
Mr. Johensen stated that this would cause an increase in
traffic on Glenview which was already a dangerous
situation. Mr. Johensen stated this application would
affect the whole area of Diamond Loch and decrease the
value of their property. Mr. Johensen stated the
petition that was presented to Planning & Zoning
contained 75 percent of all property owners that were
notified and the City said it was not a legal petition.
Mr. Royston stated a legal petition was 20 percent of
the land area and not the number of signatures.
Mr. Don Bryant, 6400 Diamond Loch, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Bryant stated that the petition form and the list of
property onwers notified had been obtained from the city
and 15 out of 21 people signed the petition which was
more than twenty percent.

operation; the store would only be open from 6:00 a.m.

would not cause an increase in traffic because the
traffic already exists because of the other
establishments in the area.

to this site.

Mr. Larry South, 7304 Boca Raton, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. South presented a petition against the rezoning
change. Mr. South stated that the average house size in
Flamingo Estates was 2,000 square feet and lowering the
lot size would devalue their property. Mr. South stated
there was only one exit out of the property to Eden Road
and that this subdivision would generate more traffic.
Mr. South asked that this request be delayed until
something could be replanned and that an exit be
considered to Precinct Line Road.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked Mr. South if it would be
acceptable to him if the zoning was restricted to the
same house size as in Flamingo Estates.
Mr. South stated that it would be a step in the right
direction.
Mr. Nick Samilo, 7312 Boca Raton, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Samilo expressed his concern about the traffic that
would be generated and also felt that it would devalue
his property.
Mr. Skip Weld, 8970 Hialeah Court, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Weld stated it sounded as though the developer did
not have complete plans and there was a possibility that
1600 square foot homes would not be built. Mr. Weld
stated he was against the R-3 zoning.
Mr. Scott Cooksey, 8950 Tamiam Court, appeared before
the Council.
Mr. Cooksey expressed his opposition to the request.
Ms. Myrtis Byrd, 7312 Hialeah Court, appeared before the
Council.
Mr. Byrd stated she would like to see specific plans on
what they planned to develop.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols
closed the Public Hearing.
40. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Moody,
to deny Ordinance No. 1323.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated this area had become a problem
with the development of Flamingo Estates. Mayor Pro Tem
Davis stated one concern was when Eden Road was going to
be built and how much more traffic it could handle.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he felt building in
the area should cease until access to Precinct Line
Road could be accomplished.
Motion carried 7-0.
