BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT: None. DIVISION OF LAND NO. 66-24 Applicant: Deane Brothers, Inc. To allow a division of land into 3 ! separate parcels located on the southeast corner of Atlanta Avenue and Beach Boulevard. Legal description on file in the Planning Department Office. The hearing was opened to the audience. Frank Richardson, representing the applicant, explained the reasons for the request. The suggested conditions of approval were reviewed. Mr. Richardson addressed the Board and questioned Condition No. 9 regarding installation of underground utilities. He stated that because of the excessive length and narrow width of the parcel, costs of installing under- ground utilities would be twice as much as it is for a normal commercial installation. He also stated that the State will not allow overhead utility lines along the Beach Boulevard frontage road and that there were several points which have not been worked out between the State and the Edison -Company as to reimbursement for relocating the existing utility lines along Beach Boulevard and until something is worked out the extra costs will be borne by the developer. Jerry King, also representing the applicant, stated that it normally costs $2,000 per acre for underground utilities but in this case it will cost approximately $5,000. Sam Ferguson stated that it is the Planning Commission and City Council's policy to require the installation of underground utilities unless it is not feasible. Gil Covell, representing Deane Brothers, stated that prior to the sale of the property, they checked with the Department of Public Works and were told that the feeder line would not have to be installed underground. It was noted by the Board that the matter regarding underground utilities should be referred to the Planning Commission for consideration at their November lst meeting and if no action is taken it should be reconsidered by the Board on November 2, 1966. 10/26/66 Page No. 2 Minutes: Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, October 26, 1966 There being no further comment, the hearing was closed.
