II BOARD DISCUSSION:

Mr. Sturman made a motion, seconded by Mr. Fernandez, to waive the rules
for the purpose of discussion. The motion passed 3-0.
The Board reviewed the new parking ordinance that was drafted by the
Planning and Zoning Director. He explained that the new ordinance was
crafted from a combination of several other cities' ordinances, as well as
Miami -Dade County.
During review of the draft ordinance, the Board raised the following issues:
1. Review/revise definition for lot/parcel.
2. Discuss feasibility of the Planning and Zoning Board becoming
involved in design of landscape features/streetscapes on the right
of way and in medians.
3. Add a category for "Studio Arts" that will include businesses like
dance and karate studios, exercise and fitness clubs.
4. Check the kindergarten and nursery schools for state parking
requirements.
5. Query the Village Attorney regarding vagueness of the paragraph
atthe end of the parking chart on page 5.
6. Add pavers to permitted paving of driveways and approaches.
Encourage use of pavers in order to promote drainage.

7. Allow the Planning and Zoning Board to grant variances to parking
requirements.
8. Revise language in Sec. C(4)(d)-(f) on pages 7-8 which would be
similar to an Opinion of Title (Rick Fernandez offered to help on
the wording).
9. Delete all references to parking requirements for duplexes or other
similar uses for which the Village has no land use districts for.
10. Consider allowing more paving to the front yard areas to create
courtyards.
11. Review areas around schools and universities to determine if there
should be "No Parking" zones. Decide if Village Manager should
be able to allow parking on right of way under special
circumstances.
12.Make certain that our code is compatible with the current uses at
the Country Club.
Generally, the Board was satisfied with the format and content of the
document. Mr. Fernandez felt it was commendable that the Village was
becoming pro -active with regard to a re -write of the code.
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting adjourned at
9:15 P.M..
