I will be in town March 9, 1998 to address the city council regarding Ord. 97-7 & amendmenls thereto specifically to request an exception to said ordinance as may be allowed by section 6. Please see that I am on the agenda, This exception relales to property South of 149a' Ave. and west of Ramsey Blvd.(! 0 acre + parcel), The fifllowing is a brief outline in answer to the 5 points in section 6 ofthe ordinance: ]'his property is part of the estate of Gilber~ Menkveld. At this time we have entered into a purchase agreement to sell an acre of this property to Casey' General Stores as a convenience store site. lfwe are not able to split this property al this time we will loss this opportunity to sell a portion of the property. This property was acquired in 1968 for the evenlual subdivision and sale thereof. The city has zoned the property as industrial precluding it being used as residential development property as his property directly north of this was. We need to proceed with this sale and the eventual development of the remaining property ('including the sale 1o the city of the well sites). The properly across the highway is presently utilized for a convenience store, This corner that we propose 1o split off.would be used in a similar manner. The properly is presently zoned industrial, A business zoning would be required for the convenience s tore similar to the zoning change made for the Casey's store on Industrial & Sunfish Blvds. Sec~ion 2 of this ordinance (preamble and purpose) is concerned with residential development density, This proposal should not impact the concerns described in section 2. Sylvia, please advise if anything further is required at this time. I can be reached at 813-934-7063 (phone & fax) or by mail at 1815 Mariner Dr. #184 Tarpon Springs FI.34689 Sincerely, Jack Menkveld
