Boox 47, PAGE 5`72. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND DEFEATED 3 -To 2: COMMISSIONERS IODTKE AND BIRD VOTING IN FAVOR, AND COMMISSIONERS SCURLOCK AND FLETCHER AND CHAIRMAN LYONS VOTING IN OPPOSITION. THE BOARD RECESSED AT 9:I0 O'CLOCK P.M. AND RECONVENED AT 9:30 O'CLOCK P.M. WITH VICE CHAIRMAN WODTKE TAKING OVER FOR CHAIRMAN LYONS WHO WENT HOME ILL. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK COMMENTED THAT HE HAS FOR ALONG TIME BEEN A SUPPORTER OF HAVING THE WEST SIDE OF AIA CLASSIFIED LD -1; HE STILL HAS A CONCERN ABOUT THE OVERALL DENSITIES ON THE BARRIER ISLAND AND WISHED TO EXPRESS THAT BEFORE WE LEFT THE NORTH BEACH AREA. ATTORNEY DOROTHY HUDSON SPOKE ON BEHALF OF THE MOORINGS, THANKING THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND FAIRNESS. SHE STATED THAT THE MOORINGS SUPPORTS THE GENERAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLAN, WHICH IS LOW DENSITY, AND THEY ARE DEVELOPING AT 2 UNITS AN ACRE IN THEIR RESIDENTIAL ZONING, BUT HAVE TWO PROBLEMS IN THAT THEIR EXISTING CON DO - MINIMUM DEVELOPMENT WOULD BECOME NON -CONFORMING AND A FUTURE PROJECT IS COMING IN AT A HIGHER DENSITY., BUT WILL DEVELOP OUT AT TWO UNITS PER ACRE, MISS HUDSON HOPED THAT THE BOARD WOULD PUT SOMETHING IN THE PLAN WHICH WOULD SAFEGUARD EXISTING RESIDENTS AND WOULD ALLOW THE MOORINGS TO CONTINUE THE PLAN THEY HAVE HAD SINCE 1968. SHE MOTED THEIR SITE PLANS ALL HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND WILL BE COMING UP IN OCTOBER. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THEIR COMMERCIAL AREA BECAUSE NEIGHBOR- HOOD COMMERCIAL IS SMALLER IN SIZE AND DIFFERENT IN SCOPE, THEY ARE PLANNING RETAIL SHOPS, A DELI, ETC., AND WOULD LIKE THE AREA THEY ALWAYS HAVE HAD DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL TO BE DESIGNATED A COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL CENTER BECAUSE IT FITS ALL THE PARAMETERS. THEY ARE ALSO REQUESTING THE RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE FAMILY BE PRESERVED. IN DISCUSSION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE IS PROPERTY WITHIN THE MOORINGS OVERALL DEVELOPMENT, OWNED BY DOYLE COTTON AND NOT THE MOORINGS, WHICH IS B EING REZONED TO 12 UNITS PER ACRE, IT WAS REEMPHASIZED THAT ALL THE LAND IN THE MOORINGS, AS WELL AS THE ONLY PROPERTY OWNED BY ANOTHER DEVELOPER, IS NOW IN SITE PLANS. THAT PROPERTY IS IN THE AREA PRESENTLY DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL, AND THIS COMMERCIAL AREA AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 8,8 ACRES.
