was a change in the environment of the neighborhood. He stated the front
door of the home would face Mississippi Street, but access would be on �
Oakley Driva in order to permiY, a new lot with access off Mississippi
Street.
Mr. Flora stated th� Plamm�g Commission did reeommend approval of the lot
split with six_ stipulations. He stated tBese were as follows: (1} the
varaanees ereated by this 1ot aplit must be approved by the Appeals
Commission; (2) the existing struoture now faa�ng Mississippi Street is to
l�ave a new address on Oakley after the Iot is split; (3) a signed park fee
agreement for ane eew lat in the amount of $750; (4) the lot split is to be
registered with the County in a timely manner; (5) the existing garage
,accessory building in front yard) zs to be relocated to the side yard if it

the 1ot split and variance requests,
hlr. Flara statd when the issue came before the Appeals Commission, after the

of the existing struoture so it would be 35 feet back from Oakley Drive.
Mr. Flora stated at the public henrin� before the Appeals Commission, there
uere a total of seven neighbors wha spoke against the variance. He stated �
thA Appeals Commission felt to grant the variances would significantly alter
ih�.s particular iot and change the complexion of ihe neighborhood and,
tberefore, recommended der.iai of the varianee whieh means the lot split
woulQ also be dem ed, since this was contingent upon the Appeals Commission
approval of tlze variance request.

Iot L'o build on iri ihe Citq and is wlllin� to negotiate with the neighbars

Px. Aoyer state the results of the pilat study were as follows: (T)
dredg�ng is not absolutely necessar}>; (2) to use a polyethylene plastic
mater�al which cosLs about 6 cents a square foot, rather than the aqua
sereening wh�ch costs 35 to 40 cerats a square foot; (3) the sand cover
really han no affect and was n�t required over the screening. He stated,
