Charlene Applegate 14445 80`h Avenue, spoke in opposition to rezoning. She delivered letters from 13 neighbors indicating their opposition. (Letters are on file with the backup in the office of the Clerk to the Board.) She pointed out that Catalano Auto Sales and Service has been doing business in the location illegally and the operation has disrupted their neighborhood and caused safety concerns for neighbors. She presented photographs to support her descriptions of the property and inappropriate uses. (Photographs have been filed with the backup for the meeting.) Sharon Lucia, 14360 80t'Avenue, advised she was strongly opposed to the rezoning appeal being granted. Clinton Putnam, 612 Bougainvillea Circle, was opposed to Catalano Auto Sales because his mother bought a car from them and the car was a major mechanical failure. He felt there was a safety issue to the community. James Applegate 14445 80t'' Avenue, complained the property is not just a car lot, but a mess. He enumerated the types of uses on the subject property pointing out that some are not allowed under CL zoning and others were grandfathered. He commented on the negative impacts on the nearby residential area if the zoning change were to be approved. Dale Woodburn, owner of the subject property, stated he pays a lot of taxes. He claimed that when the U -Haul business owner moved off the property, he did not know what to do with it. Joe Boggs (a business -owner in Brevard County) suggested to him that perhaps he could put in a used car lot, but told him to first check the zoning. He claimed he went to the Planner of the Day and made a big mistake by not getting the name of the person who advised him the uses he proposed for the property were allowed. He prepared the property for a car lot and Mr. Catalano brought in his cars for sale. He has been trying to hold on to his property and has been trying to make it look nicer. April 15, 2003 14
