Hatfield asked that the last two sentences of Section 44.06 be read into the minutes. (Section
44.06, page 949: Members shall be subject to removal from office by the commission for failure
to perform their duties or other misoonduct in office or automatically for failure to attend
three (3) meetings within any twelve~month period of time. For purposes of removal, an absence
from a specially called meeting of the board shall count the same as an absence from a regularly
scheduled meeting.) He requested that the recording secretary tabulate the attendance of
Board members and provide a report on the number of absences of each during the last twelve
months.
The City Planner advised the Board that Southern Bell's application for annexation is to be
received March 17, 1983, and that it may be necessary to hold a short regular meeting prior to
the next Commission meeting for purposes of forwarding a formal recommendation on the applica-
tion.
Hatfield adjourned the regular meeting and convened the workshop session at 8:04 p.m.
WORKSHOP
The Board discussed the comments landowners had offered at the February 2nd workshop. The
concensus was that the proposal was rather well-received, with reservation mainly based on how
current plans for development would be affected and on how the new ordinance would be admin-
istered.
A few clarification were made in the text of the proposal.
It was decided to provide property owners with additional information a week before the March
2nd workshop in an effort to answer some of the questions they raised. The Chairman will write
a letter explaining the need for and objectives of the revision. The City Planner will add a
narrative to the proposal explaining how the concept would be administered and add information
to Chart A to show the relation of each proposed zone to the intensity scale and indicate the
direction which the chart is read as zoning intensifies.
The City Planner reported that the City Attorney has advised that zoning ordinances may be
changed without a "grace period" during which development can occur at the previous standards,
so that the length of any such grace period is up to the City. The Board agreed to recommend
to the City Commission that a period of one year be specified during which a building permit
can be acquired for development of lands according to the presently permitted uses. Since site
plan approvals and building permits are good for a whole year, this would in effect allow a
two-year period for construction to begin.
The workshop was adjourned at 9:42 p.m.
