LDC Amendment re Moratorium on Building Height
STAFF
Russell Webb, Principal Planner, Community Development and Environmental
Services Division, amendment is thc extension of the moratorium, if necessary.
Susan Murray, Current Planning Manager,- Moratorium expires January 31, 2004. If
the moratorium expires, we would revert back to the current RT zoning district standards,
permit applications could be accepted, this is a safety measure.
PUBLIC SPEAKERS
Diane Ketcham, President, Vanderbilt Beach and Bay Association, would like to see
this reach a conclusion on overlay while majority of property owners are in residence.
Fewer people are here in June and would not be able to participate. Does not want
moratorium extended, but will understand if it must be extended.
Bruce Burkhard, Director, Vanderbiit Beach Property Owners Association, agrees
with Ms. Ketcham. If moratorium must be extended, would like it extended until January
2005, one year extension, so people will be present to fully represent their interests.
Dr. Richard Bing, Chairman, Vanderbilt Beach Zoning Committee, had concerns
about timeliness of BCC hearing. Would like established scheduled followed. If
moratorium must be extended, should be extended one year rather than six months.
Joseph Connolly, Director, Vanderbilt Beach and Bay Association and Vice-
President of Save Vanderbilt Beach Fund, staff is slow doing its job, it is time to get it
finished. Does not want this completed in June, it should be completed now or January
of next year.
Richard Yovanovich, Representing Vanderbilt Inn, decision does not need to be made
on moratorium yet. June is okay. Could there be a special cycle only including one
topic, the overlay, and get it accomplished by the end of March if an extension is
necessary.
Patrick White, indicated that would take a super majority vote of the BCC to have a
special cycle.

Dwight Nadew, representing Vanderbilt Inn, support comments made by
Mr. Yovanovich. Does not want extension of moratorium, would like to have public
hearing. Nothing would be gained by extending into January 2005.
Doug Fee, President, North Bay Civic Association, supports residents to the south in
their efforts to determine their future. An extension of moratorium is proper and
Commission is urged to do so.
DISCUSSION
-Effective date of overlay could be date of adoption.
-Steps have been taken to make sure there are no gaps where there is no
protection.
-Shorter period for moratorium would be better for both sides.
Mr. Murray made a motion to extend moratorium to June 30, provision is
consistent with Growth Management Plan, only one hearing is required for this
provision, motion was seconded by Mr. Adelstein, motion carried 8-0.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned
by order of the Chair at 5:40 P.M.
