JAN 14 1986 63 FA, -c 2:35 whose fences back up to the Gifford Park do whatever they can to improve the appearance of those fences. Mr. Starckx advised that he has completely hidden his salvage operation. Commissioner Lyons believed we have other safeguards re the neighboring residential areas, and Director Keating confirmed that there are sufficient safeguards. Bob White, 608 Albatross Lane, informed the Board that he owns a small piece of property, 150' bordering east on U.S.1 (Tropicana Homesites, Lots 1,2,3,4 & 5). He bought this property as an investment in 1982 in good faith as C -1A and now finds out that he can't use it. He clarified that this property is north of Wabasso approximately across from Gator Lumber in Wabasso and south of Pelican Point. Mr. White informed the Board that he has been given varying and confusing information about his property, and now it seems he is presently under review for LD -2. He was not happy with the idea of being required to develop property located on U.S.1 as residential, especially with the prospect of having children so near a major highway. Mr. White emphasized that he would like very much to know just what he can do with his property and what, if anything, he can pull a building permit for. Planner Shearer confirmed that this property is zoned C -1A and probably has been since 1957. In 1982 the Land Use Plan designated this as LD -2, which is low density residential, and from that point on, it is true that the property could not be used for anything until either the zoning was changed to residential or the Land Use Plan was changed to commercial. Tonight it is proposed to change the zoning to RM -6, which is consistent with the land use designation. When the proposed ordinance is adopted, Mr. White would be able to get a building permit for a house or could come in and get a site plan approved for a duplex, depending on how much land he has. 10
