Ms. Estep read the caption of the ordinance into the record. Mr. David Dacquisto, the Village's Planning &
Zoning Director, summarized the proposed amendments included in the 2025 Comprehensive Plan. Mr.
Loffredo spoke of his concern over the amendment to the Future Land Use Map which would expand the
commercial business zone north to 103`d Street. Mr. Loffredo indicated that he had missed this proposed change
during the November, 2009 hearing. Mr. Dacquisto advised the Council that the proposed change was
recommended by the Planning & Zoning Board. Council Members offered their opinions on the change as well
as the proposed expansion of areas zoned as parking lots surrounding the downtown district. The discussion
centered around the possible ramifications of expanding the commercial district and the effect on the residential
properties which abut N.E. 2nd Avenue. Resident and architect, Mark Campbell was present and spoke on some
of the issues facing the business property owners. Following the lengthy discussion, Mr. Loffredo reiterated an
earlier motion, moving to approve the amendments to the 2025 Comprehensive Plan subject to the deletion of the
two block commercial district expansion north of N.E. 101st Street and to returning the parking lot plan to that
contained in the Future Land Use Map as presently adopted. Mr. Herrera seconded the motion. Mayor Davis
opened the floor for the Public Hearing. As no one wished to speak regarding the Comprehensive Plan
amendments, Mayor Davis closed the Public Hearing and called for the vote. The vote result was 4 to 1 in favor
of the motion, with Councilman Hunt Davis dissenting.
2) PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT David Dacquisto
A) REQUEST APPROVAL FOR MOOIES TO OPERATE AN OPEN AIR CAFE AT 9545 N.E.
2ND AVENUE.
Mr. Mark Campbell was present representing the building and business owner. Mr. Campbell presented
information regarding Mooies application for a Special Conditional Use Permit for outdoor cafe dining along
N.E. 96th Street. Mr. Dacquisto confirmed that the required conditions set by the Planning & Zoning Board, i.e.
insurance certificate, hold harmless agreement, etc. have been met and that the requested permit does not need to
cover the grassy area to the rear of the building due to the fact that the grassy area is not within the Village's
jurisdiction. Mr. Loffredo moved to approve the request for an Outdoor Cafe Special Conditional Use Permit.
Mrs. Holly seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion.
