Cormnissioners were concerned that Mr. Notes was already operating his restaurant without a health
certificate and that all of the building construction was done without permits. They do not want to
"shut down" a business that has been in operation for 6 years; however, Mr. Notes should have
applied for the zone change prior to doing the work.
Mr. Burdine stated Code Enforcement was waiting to see the outcome of NIr. Notes zone change
before taking any type of action.
W. Notes stated that it was necessary for him to get a commercial zoning on this portion of his
property so he could clean, package, freeze and sell the fish to restaurants. He also stated he would
be recycling the fish waste by using it as fertilizer.
The Commission also discussed the zoning of surrounding property.

approve the preliminary plat of Southwyck Section 11 as submitted with the two (2) variances as
