ZONING - PUBLIC HEARING -JAMES THORNTON
Petition of James O. Thornton, from A-1 to R-4A (multiple dwellings)
property located on Emerson Ave., 1280 ft. north of Indrio Road to enable
the construction of duplexes in connection with a Church 'and Church school.
The petition was tab~ from meeting of Sept. 5th to allow time for
Staff to meet with petitio~ ~nd work out a solution or an institutional
cl~assification to cover.
for
Moved .by Com. Enns to put the matter back on the table, was seconded
by Com. McCain, and upon roll call, unanimously carried.
Gary Ament stated that the Staff recommended a R-2 classification.which
would permit the c6nstruction of 3 duplexes based on a 75' frontage each
(lot has a 335' road frontage) Which would still allow 100' for the Church.
Of course the 10 acres could be platted with a road built in the middle but
it would then have to meet plat filing regulations.
Mr. Thornton was present and said he was willing to reduce his zoning
request to R-2.
Mrs.-Sam Waters, whose husband voiced oppostiion last ~eek, was present
and said they still Objected because while Mr. Thornton was most sincere in
his work for the Church, she was fearful of the type of people'who might ~rent
the duplexes if the Church had to sell the p~operty. She said there were '
several structures on the site now and Mr. Thornton went to the map and showed
the loc~tion-of these structures, a chapel, bathroom, office and barn and also
.where the Church itself would be located. He said there were two trailers on
the site now to be removed when the duplexes are built.
Mr. Thomas said that under the present A-1 zoning a Church can be built
along with a parish house and that the trailers were on the property through
a variance from the Board-of Adjustment.
Moved by Com. Enns to adopt Resolution No. 78-89 which grants R-2 zoning.
was seconded by Com. Price and upon roll call, unanimously carried.

ZONING - PUBLIC HEARINGS
Proof of Publication was presented for the following:
Petition of James O. Thornton, from A-1 to R-4A (~multiple dwellings) fcI
property located on Emerson Ave., 1280 ft. north of Indrio Road Go enable the
construction of duplexes in connection with a church and church-school..
-~ The Planning & Zoning Commission, by a 4-2 vote approved recommending
approval of the petition. ·
Mr. Thornsto~ was present saying he is M~ister of the ChurCh'which is
attempting to work with disturbed young people, prever~_heirbec~m~iinqUents
They plan to build a Church in the middle of the 10 acre area,~ (335' road
firontage and 1330' deep) to house Church personnel. Later they hope to build
more duplexes and educational facilities.
Adjacent property owner Helmut Wales wanted to know how the duplexes
would effect his property and if Mr. Thornton would put up a fence on his sid~
and put in a road on his property since he was presently using one on his(W~lE
property.
He admitted that the property wastfor sale and that the purchaser
withdrew due to the indecision ~as to who was ~ut up a fence and where.
Mr. Thornton stated that Mr. Waies ' originally
had agree~ ~o Put up the fence, but
that they would fence it and also put in their own road.
Mr. Sam Waters speaking on behalf of his father who bought property to
the north and is now building a house, stated he did not want to see the re-
zoning because if the property was sold it could be.open for a considerable
number of duplexes or anything else in that classification.
Com. Enns stated that the multiple dwellings concerned him and-wondered
if Gary Ament and the'A~ty, could work out some institutional clasSification
to take care of this situation.
Com. McCain moved to table the matter until Sept. 19th to allow time
for Staff to try and work-out a solution, which Was seconded by Com Enns,
and upon roll call,unanimously carried. '
Atty..Adams advised that if the zoning was reduced it would not be

opposition to the petition was Mr. Thurman Waters. He
stated tha had just built a residence on their property. His son,
Sam Waters stated that they had purchased ten acres and were in the process
of building a new home there. They had moved to the oountry to get away
from multiple dwelling situations.
Mr. Thornton said that the Waters property was so far.away that they
could not see their homes. Mr. Waters stated that maybe he cannot see us
but we can hear'them~
Also speaking in opposition to the petition was Mrs. Christopher,
daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Helmut Wales, adjacent property owners. She s~ated
that her parents had just purchased the property and were planning on
building a home there. She fe%t that R-4 zoning would let anything in.
Mr. Moore suggested to Mr. Waters that he could also hear the traffic
along Indrio Road and that their area was not the quietest in St. Lucie
County. Mr. Thornton is doing a fine job in St. Lucie County and that
perhaps we should all learn to live together.
