COMMENTS FROM
THE PUBLIC FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
MR. SAMUEL
Mr. Samuel Carsillo, 10063 Dahlia Avenue, PBG, addressed the Council
CARSILLO
reminding them to observe the State Fire Protection and Prevention Codes
when considering improvements to the Assembly Room.
ORDINANCES:
Councilman Kiselewski provided the other members of the Council copies
ORDINANCE 11,
of the March 24, 1983 communication of Mr. Vince Pappalardo of Pappalardo
1981
Construction expressing firm opposition to the City imposing a "Fire
Service and Facilities Fee" on developers of structures exceeding two
stories via the proposed Ordinance 11, 1981.
During the lengthy deliberations on the proposed Ordinance, the Council
discussed considering its defeat, su,— quent t., exercising the duly
advertised Public Hearing at the Regular Meeting of April 7, 1983. And
then, directing the City Attorney to draft an Ordinance for their con-
sideration of first reading at a future meeting, amending the City's
Code to enable developers of PUDs approved with structures that place
unusual and added burdens upon the present fire protection capabilities
to contribute funds to be deposited into a "Specialized Fire - Fighting
Equipment Fund" - to include those PUDs already approved and such a fee
would apply to, per the Ordinances that created them.
ORDINANCE 2, Subsequent to exercising a duly advertised Public Hearing at their meet -
1983 ing of March 22, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission adopted a
motion recommending to the Council, with a proviso, passage of the
amendments to the City's Zoning Codes contained within the March 22,
1983 draft of Ordinance 2, 1983. They are:
1. Defining a "story" of a building;
2. Limiting "conditional uses" granted for the sale /service of
alcoholic beverages to owners /initial license holders; and
3. Adding a "PDA - Planned Development Area" zoning classification to
the City's Codes. The Commission recommended the Council further
review the minimum acreage required for PDAs.
Also, implementation of our Comprehensive ]and Use Map by adoption of
the Ordinance's attachment - a new zoning map of the City. This recom-
mendation was with the proviso the Council consider the recommendations /
requests of Bankers Land Company.

During the workshop session on the March 22, 1983 draft of Ordinance
2, 1983, Attorney Raymond Royce addressed the Council on behalf of
r,nktrs Land Company, reviewing the major v ^cant land owner's "analysis
and summary" re: the zoning of fourteen of their parcels. In nine of
these instances, the City's Comprehensive Land Use Map adopted in com-
pliance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975
on June 18, 1981, would have to be amended; in two of the instances, the
proposed new zoning map would have to be modified pursuant to the zoning
designations on the Comprehensive Land Use Map. They have reserved
comments on three of the parcels for further review. (Note: during
the duly advertised Public Hearings on adoption of the City's Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plan and Map, the only objection voiced by Bankers Land
Company was the zoning designation of "Parks District" placed upon the
lands surrounding Lake Catherine on MacArthur Boulevard (ref: minutes of
Regular Meeting of June 4, 1981). The only other objection of record
was that of the School Board re: the ':_rks Dis�rict" designation placed
upon a portion of their 10 -acre tract along the FEC railroad, south of
Plat 114.)
is Attorney Royce's further suggestions included that: the City's proposed
PDA - Planned Development Area zoning district not have a minimum
requirement of 100 acres and that it include permissible land usages
without application for PUD or PCD development approval; that zoning
classifications on the Comprehensive Land Use Map and /or new zoning map
not already a part of our Zoning Codes be created (i.e., P - Parks
District; and GL - Gove_rnment Use); and the area now - reflected as
"L,):,ahaLchee Slouth Area" along the westerly portion of the PGA National
project be more appropriately designated.
At their Regular Meeting of April 7, 1983, the Council will exercise the
first of two State - required Public Hearings on adoption of the new zoning
map. in the meantime, they were in favor of receiving the input of
members of the City's Planning and Zoning Commission re: the suggestions/
requests of Bankers Land Company. A duly posted special meeting of the
commission will be hold next week for the purpose of their review of the
company's "Analysis & Summary for P.B.G. Proposed Rezonings" dated
March 24, 1983. Also, the comments of Mr. Marvin C. Hill, the City's
®
contracted Land Use Consultant in the preparation of our Comprehensive
Land Use Plan, re: Bankers T,anl Compt.ny's proposals will be requested by
the City Manager.

Burns Road, east of the existing "Plaza North Medical Complex ", to CPO -

meeting, as amended with the minimum acreage for Planned Development
Areas deleted.

these excessively -noisy off-street vehicles traversing, on a frequent

• Dear Mr. Mayor,
On or about' ty G4r�/} , I will be running through your 'own on my way from

following reason:
Some ten years ago during the Thanksgiving ho da;s, a �gonderful human being in
QaltimorEs, MD was brutally attacked by her mentally unL,alancc:i !Ir;rL•,ncl. After being
stabbed more than two do.-�r dikes, t, strc.ng 'ye Sr,' aa; pocrv,:: oveY her f1Le a'ii

Although her face has been almost completely „C LCynC', a:dlt;r,n�i ;1a, <_ic ;uraery is
needed. However, her eyes are a more serious prob1en - one is lost forever, but the
ether has a relatively undamaged retina. She has had four cornea transplants "hat
have given her partial vision - but each time after ahr,ut twn years, in spite of pre-
ventive medication, the cornea his been rejected and she is blind once again.
She is not rich ncr is her family. Although she receive ", a small d sahilit;
allowance from Social Security, shEr is unable to earn monev to pay 'inr addi:ic7
operations, Her former employer, the local telephone company, honored -its mndic?'
cornmittment far, far beyond tha: which was required, but finally even that support
ended. And now she has little help and even less h•oe.
