OLD BUSINESS:
1. Approval of minutes for the 3-3-09 Regular Meeting - Motion to approve by Duke Vasey,
motion passed unanimously.
2. Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance follow-up discussion - Robert Wiley discussed the
Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) quick decision to not discuss the
ordinance and put it on the agenda for discussion on May 6, 2009. There then followed a
discussion on possibly amending the ordinance to allow for public restrooms to be build
below the base flood elevation. This issue is specifically raised as regards public restrooms
at the beach. Marco Island is proposing to amend their ordinance to allow for this type
situation and eliminate the need to approve a variance. No final language has been
developed for presentation to the Committee while staffwaits for a conceptual review from
FEMA.
