#7	REPORT & RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL:
ORDINANCE NO. 2005-5	An ordinance granting an area variance to allow 2,516 square foot accessory building at 28749 Miles Road.
Present:  Mr. Frank Cangemi and Mr. William Childs

PZ discussion:  Stonebrooke residents were present to voice their objections to the variance.  They object to the size of the structure, the lack of maintenance to the present accessory building, the proximity of the building to their homes, and they questioned whether it would be used for "personal" items.  The intended use is to provide a two-car garage for the house and to provide storage space for eight classic cars, a boat and a lawn mower.  Mr. Cangemi is agreeable to a deed restriction.  A possible solution is to flip-flop the proposed building allowing it to be further away from the Stonebrooke property lines and reducing the amount of building visible to them.  These revised drawings are to be submitted for review prior to the next meeting on May 17, 2005.  Mr. Cangemi and Mr. Mayo are to meet to discuss possible compromises.

#8	REPORT & RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL:
ORDINANCE No. 2005-6	An ordinance granting a side yard variance to Alen and Arlene Michael at 215 Orange Tree Drive.
