Chairman Wheeler questioned the objective in having CL and CG when they were <br />so close. Director Keating thought there were probably no significant reasons, and maybe they <br />could combine both districts. Commissioner Flescher also questioned the seemingly little or no <br />difference, and why the request had come to the Board. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br />Bruce Barkett, Esquire, on behalf of the Applicant, wanted to supplement one thing <br />Director Keating said regarding some of the differences in the uses. He stated that this property is <br />covered by the Wabasso corridor plan that severely limits the use of the property. He urged the <br />Board to adopt staffs recommendation. <br />Rene Renzi, Waverly Place, thought they were sending some kind of message, <br />because P&Z voted to deny this request. Director Keating explained the grounds on which P&Z <br />denied the request. <br />Ray Scent, 1615 71st Court, questioned the 6-1 P&Z vote, and felt it should not be <br />the Committee's business if an applicant gains or loses from a request. He supported the request. <br />John Lambert, 4196 79th Street, President of Hobart Landings Homeowners <br />Association, and on behalf of the residents of Heritage Trace, handed out copies of a map with an <br />aerial view of Hobart Landings. He stated that the residents of Hobart Landings objected to the <br />request and cited several differences between the zonings. He said this property lies in the <br />Wabasso Corridor regulations, which is under the County code of ordinances (S. 911.18), and that <br />was created to minimize the impact of heavy commercial activities on residential areas. He <br />believed it was not appropriate for Commercial General to go in this area. <br />July 10, 2007 19 <br />
