?_ The Commission reviewed the zoning map that was recently approved. Vice Mayor
Bertino suggested that a section of the City east of Fifth Avenue between Dania
it Beach Boulevard and Sheridan Street be set aside for high quality homes. Building
® Inspector Littrell would like to see the present Zoning Ordinance amended so that
y' the procedure for administering building permits is facilitated, including the rules
for the holding of Public Hearings regarding building requests. Commissioner Donly
asked that Mr. Littrell furnish the Commission with a list of the recommendations
that he would like to see in the new Ordinance. Mr. Littrell said he did not know
where to start, and the only way he could foresee of accomplishing everything would
® be to rewrite the Ordinance, which would take months to do. Mayor Duncanson felt
that the City should not discourage building, and suggested putting a moratorium on,
and then modify the land use plan, allowing permits to be issued if the property is
currently zoned according to what the proposed zoning will be, and if it is not the
builder will have to wait until the land use plan is modified. Mr. Littrell stated
chat if he could substitute a new set of definitions he could work with the Ordinance
until it can be completely amended. After much discussion, the Mayor suggested this
schedule: redo the future zoning map; revise Chapter 33 so that Mr. Littrell can work
with it; redo Chapter 33; rezone the property. This met with the Commission's
approval , and so Mr. Littrell will go ahead and work on a new set of definitions.
3. Ih'c Commission discussed Houston Park in regard to the recent grant that the City
® received for the improvement of its boating facilities, and whether the City should
de.%,elop some revenue creating projects there. Several suggestions were made, among
them being a Recreation Vehicle parking area, a boat storage area with a bait and
t-.c:cle shop, a camping area , or a picnic area. The Commission decided to advertise
for suggestions for revenue producing proposals for this area, and instructed City
%ana;;er Hampton to put this on the next regular meeting agenda. Commissioner Kay
isked if the Commission could also discuss at that time the question of increasing
the fee for boat launching.

Tt was brought to the Commission's attention that the parking fee is being abused.
`•+a vs were discussed on how to separate pier customers from beach parkers. They also

Commissioner Donly suggested rewording the rules so that people who litter the beach,
(,r .Ire abusive and disorderly will be fined, rather than having it illegel to picnic
tlio beach. Mayor Duncanson suggested setting aside areas for food and drink. As
r.,) action can be taken at a workshop meeting, the Commission decided to put this item
on the next regular meeting agenda.
