Please see that I am on the agenda. This exception relates to property South of 149* Ave. and west ofRamse, y Blvd.(l 0 acre + parcel), The R~llowing is a brief outline in answer to the 5 points in section 6 of the ordinance: This property is pail of the estate of Gitberl 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 silo. lfwe are not able to split this property at this time we will loss this opportunity to sell portion of the property. This property was acquired in 1968 for the eventual subdivision and sale thereof. The city has zoned ~.he 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 to lhe city of the well sites). The property across the highway is presently utilized for a convenience store. This comer that we propose to split offwould be used in a similar manner. The property is presently zoned induslfial. A business zoning would be required for the convenience s tore similar to the zoning change made for the Casey's store on Industrial & Sunfi.~h Birds. Section 2 of this ordinance (,preamble and purpose) is concerned with residential development densily. 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 Menkvetd
