Following are varionns comments made by persons
relative to this proposed ordinance:
Bob Winship, 1029 Country Club Drive -Stated
we can have skyscrapers and condominiums taking
over section we thought was R-1. Asked if present
sewer facilities, present fire equipment and schools
can handle high rise complexes. Also asked if the
Village can go from 18,000 to 25,000 or 30,OOQ.
He stated he does not know the answers to these
questions and doesn't think anyone else does either.
Jim Collins, 729 Teal Way - Stated the ordinance as
read leaves something to be desired in that the
500 ft. figure and elevation figure probably is not
ample for buffer zone. Feels more study should be_
given to this proposed ordinance.
Mike Diver, 708 Teal Way- Stated he circulated the
petition asking for 500 ft. lim3ation of entire
Village, and stated that this petition was not meant
as a stopgap measure.
Fred Smith, 908 Shore Road - Stated he would be concerned
as to what would happen beyond this height limitation.
Would recommend that this proposed ordinance be changed
to continue this on a pyramid basis.
VARIOUS
COMMENTS OF
PERSONS RE
BShL N0. 88
Don Connell, 917 Westwind Drive - Stated he would like to
see the total height within the Village limited to four
stories - not just within 500 ft. of an R-1, single family
dwelling.
Bob Slater, 782 Lakeside Drive - Stated he would oppose any
measure that limited all buildings within the Village to
four stories in height. He said there would be nothing
wrong with a 20, 25 or 30 ft. building-along the ocean-
front. He asked the Council to please not make it a
general rule for a four story height limitation through-
out the Village.
There being no further business to come before the
Council at this public hearing, on motion of Councilman
Watt, seconded by Vice-Mayor Bell, all present voting
aye, the public hearing was adjourned at_9;10 p.m:
