Home Browse Search

Commissioner Iglesias asked if the proposed project would be required to collect the bed tax for any occupancies less than six months. Mr. Price agreed to include in a covenant the requirement of a regular reporting of tax collections. Vice Mayor Turetsky moved to approve the request with the conditions of the Zoning recommendation, and with a covenant, however the motion failed for lack of a second. Commissioner Morrow moved to defer until September 17, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. in order to do a traffic study regarding the impact on the area; however the motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Price stated that a traffic study was a part of the application. [He submitted a copy to be made a part of the record.] Commissioner Kauffman moved to deny the application based on Mr. Berkman's negative recommendation; however the motion failed for lack of a second. Vice Mayor Turetsky moved to approve the request with the conditions recommended by Mr. Vera, and with a strong covenant regarding the apartment/hotel use. Mayor Samson passed the gavel, and said he was going to second the Vice Mayor's motion, but before he completed the second, he then asked the City Attorney what would happen if the Commission continued to be stalemated. City Attorney Dannheisser said the closest analogy would be to a tie vote, and in that case the item would be carried over to the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting for consideration, unless the Commission designates a different time. Commissioner Morrow moved and Mayor Samson seconded a motion to defer the request until the September 17, 1998, City Commission meeting at 7:00 p.m. The motion to defer was approved by a roll call vote of 3-2 in favor. Vote: Commissioner Iglesias yes Commissioner Kauffman no Commissioner Morrow ves Vice-Mayor Turetsky no Mayor Samson yes 6- C.
