The Commission decided to take a break so that Ms. Casscells and her advisors could
consider various options.
Mayor Partyka called a recess at 10:01 P.M
The Meeting was called back to order at 10:20 PM
Ms. Casscells spoke of not wanting to have a large number of docks; a boardwalk; and
that her family could be interested in including a 100 foot no build zone (buffer) from the
lake's edge in an agreement with the City; as well as an agreement to only have one dock
and one boardwalk on the property.
The Commission heard various suggestions from Mr. Harling and Mr. Michael
Schrimsher regarding text changes. The suggested changes to which the Commission
agreed upon are:
. On page 3 of the final draft, "Where you deal with nursing homes, we would like
to add assisted living and senior independent living".
. On page 12, under Section (a) (8) and page 13, under Section (c) (6), "The only
thing that we would like to add in there is the 'Major retails store(s) or office"'.
. A Tree Pallet should be attached to the final draft.
. "I would like to ask that we have the insert 'private right-of-way other than State
Road 434"', was suggested for Table 1 on page 11, Section a. The Commission
decided to have the sentence read, "On internal streets, no existing or dedicated
public or private right-of-way.. .".
The suggested changes that the Commission did not agree upon were:
. Regarding the paragraph on page 3 under Section (5) that begins, "Any other
retail store.. .", "That paragraph should go up to (4) above, it should be right
above the (5) for conditional uses". Deputy Mayor Gennell asked, "You don't
want to replicate that 'Any other retail' paragraph here, you want to move it"?
Mr. Harling replied, "I believe the appropriate place for it is under Permitted
Uses". The consensus of the Commission was to "Leave it where it is", regarding
where the paragraph is written.
. Item (k) (3) on page 16, regarding marketing signs, "The minimum setback that
you have set up in other locations has been fifteen (15) feet and in this particular
location you went to twenty-five (25) feet". The Commission was in agreement
to have the setbacks as "Fifteen on the internal [streets], twenty-five on the
highway [State Road 434]".
. Item (m) (1) on page 16, regarding temperature and date signs, "We're suggesting
that it is an informational thing for the traveling public and that banks do it as a
courtesy and that it might be appropriate". The Commission agreed by consensus
to "Leave it the way it is".

. On page 5, Section (4), "I think we could live with the forty (40) car parking bay.
We can live with the twenty-four (24) foot wide driveways. But I think just by
the example of your neighboring cities that have gone with a nine by eighteen
(9x 18) or a nine by nineteen (9x 19) parking space, that that would be a prudent
change to make". Mayor Partyka clarified, "The request is nine by eighteen
(9x18)". The Commission took a consensus and agreed to keep the parking space
requirements at ten by twenty feet (lOx20).
. On page 16, Section (m) "Did you want still prohibit neon? A lot of these people
use, in a very tasteful way, neon". The Commission agreed that they still wish to
prohibit neon signs.
