That item is BAV26-01, an application submitted by Carl Allison, owner of Gateway Prescription Center, Inc. of Florida Corporation, requesting a variance as authorized under section 3.2 of the City of Lake City Land Development Regulations, as amended, providing for a variance as provided for in section 4.10.7 10.7 of the city of Lake City land development regulations to reduce the westside yard setback requirement from 20 feet to 5 feet within a residential slashoff or RO zoning district on certain lands within the corporate limits of the city of Lake City, Florida. And now, Mr. Martin, you want to run through procedures?

Uh, thank you, Madam Chair. Uh uh if I may, just a quick question uh for staff. I did not see a resolution in the packet. Did we have a resolution on this particular item? Yes, it was uh sent over by from the North Florida Planning Council.

Okay, good enough. All right. Thank you. Um Madam Chair, the purpose of the following procedure is to ensure an applicant provides a complete presentation of their request to the board prior to any testimony being provided by staff. So the applicant receives a full and fair hearing on their application and any decision by the board is based on evidence presented. All public testimony will be taken under oath and everyone subject to cross-examination. Now to accomplish this, we're going to proceed in the following order. First presentations from the city, the applicant, and any party interveners, followed by public comment, then cross-examination, any additional response by participants. If the chairman uh determines that it is uh necessary to ensure fairness, we'll then proceed to questions from the board and then hear final arguments from the parties and interveners. I'll advise the board as to law and necessary findings and the board can deliberate and vote. Uh Florida law requires the board's decision uh in quasi judicial actions be supported by competent substantial evidence presented to the board of adjustment during the hearing on the application. competent and substantial evidence is evidence a reasonable mind would accept is adequate to support a conclusion. At this time, I need to inquire of each board member individually if they've received any exparte communications involving this matter and if so to disclose them. Exparte communications are communications with uh individuals that have occurred outside of the formality of this meeting tonight. Uh starting at the end of the DAS, uh Mr. Carluchi, have you had any exparte communications?

No. Okay. And uh see, Miss uh Jones, no. Okay. And then Miss McCllum. No. And uh Mr. Leid? None. And Chair Douglas? No. Okay. Thank you. Uh at this person, if each person who's going to offer testimony or speak to this application could stand and raise your right hand to take an oath. Uh do each of you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth in your testimony before the board tonight? Yes, I do.

All right. Thank you. Um, board members, you have before you propose resolution number BAV2601, which states, "A resolution of the board of adjustment of the city of Lake City, Florida, granting a variance as authorized under section 3.2 two of the city of Lake City land development regulations as amended providing for variance as provided for in section 410.7 of the city of Lake City land development regulations to reduce the west side yard setback requirements from 20 ft to 5t within a residential office zoning district on certain lands within the corporate limits of the city of Lake City Florida repealing all resolutions in conflict and providing an effective date.

I came back that evening and it had metal. I said, "I hope Mr. Angelo knows about this." U Yeah. Yeah, looking at the in the future, should we put any signage in front of those administratively determined decisions just so that we don't have the chance of concerned citizens calling up and and jamming up the receptionists.

Um, generally nobody really calls and complains too much. Once in a blue moon I might have somebody, but it's good because it shows us that, you know, the citizens are, you know, they care. So, it's kind of nice to get those calls once in a while. They got it done in less than a day. I was surprised. Yeah. Shingles when I got in my car, metal when I got out of my car. Okay.
