Planning Director Keating pointed out that staff relies on the provisions in our Comprehensive Plan, and the Plan was not intended to create non -conformities; therefore, all existing uses are considered conforming uses. Staff considered this comparable to the John Lyon case where he had the commercial zoning in front of Vista Gardens. Director Keating felt the problem staff runs into is exactly what kind of expansion would be allowed or wouldn't be allowed. Commissioner Wodtke asked if you can have retail sales in an M-1 area, and this was confirmed. Attorney Brandenburg disagreed that if you have a commercial property on a corner of a 40 acre parcel which is a non- conforming use that you can expand and put a commercial shopping center on the entire 40 acres. He noted that John Lyon had a use in the dead center of his property that couldn't be split off and used in any other way if you were to allow that commercial use to continue. Robert Fleckenstein came before the Board and reviewed at length most of the details set out in the following letter: MR. ROBERT E. FLECKENSTEIN 766 - 13TH Avr..NUE vrmo BEAM, rLORiDA 32960 June 6, 1985 Mr. Bob Keating, I.R.C.Planning & Zoning Chairman, Planning & Zoning Commission Chairman, I.R.C. Board of County Commissioners. Dear Gentlepersons: The purpose of this letter is to convey to you my strong objection to the May 23, 1985 P.& Z. Commission approval of a proposed 7,500 sq.ft. warehouse at 1206 8th Street. I request that you review this decision and place it before the County Commission for review and, hopefully a reversal of this decision, for the following reasons. The present usage of this property - M-1 Industrial - is totally ;inappropriate and incompatible with the -surrounding single-family development and C.L.U.P. designation of "residential" which totally surrounds this one acre site. 57 J U L 10 1985 Bm F' c 469
