seconded by Commissioner Jones to approve the following
certain recommendations as set out in Mayor Stormont's
memorandum dated October 30, 1989:
Ill. In that additional determinations
and investigations have indicated that
the statutory Holiday Isle Area of
County Critical Concern solution
requirements involve resolution of
numerous on-site situations, directly
relating to the symptomatic parking,
traffic and access resolutions, the
Planning Department and the Planning
Commission are directed that the scope
of the resolution of the Holiday Isle
Area of County Critical Concern needs
to address all issues directly related
to such parking, traffic and access
resolution. II
112. That the Planning and Building
Departments explicitly follow the same
requirements that every other commercial
enterprise and private citizen must
follow, that when any permits, including
after-the-fact permits, are requested,
the total property must be brought into
conformance with whatever zoning or
land use designation exists, as to
densities, uses and regulations. II
113. When any new zoning is given, if it
is - under ACCC recommendations and
adoption of amendments, the total
properties within the ACCC must be
brought into conformance and compliance
as required by law, as to densities,
uses and regulations of the new zoning,
whatever it may be.1I
114. Since the County Attorney has ruled,
in numerous instances, that even if the
same persons are part of different
corporate entities, each entity is
therefore a separate entity under law
(and each property is a separately held
property under law), therefore, each of
the properties involved (Holiday Isle,
Howard Johnsonls Lodge, El Capitan, Ocean
View Bar, Harbor Lights, Harbor Lights
parking area) are to be treated
separately and distinctly, and not inter-
related as to their individual conformance
requirements as to densities, uses and
regulations, as well as ACCC fulfillments.
Therefore, any combination of
densities, uses, parking requirements,
etc., between or among the different
corporate entities or parcels are not
permissible, or valid, and each solution
must be contained within the entity, per
regulations. II
QQ
125
"6. As a part of the Area of Critical
County Concern determination, the
Administrator is directed to request
that the State Department of Alcoholic
Beverage and Tobacco thoroughly investi-
gate and review conditions, status, rule
or statute adherence, as to conformance
of each legal entity within the ACCC,
and to provide recommendations to the
Planning Department and Planning
Commission as to problems, illegalities
found, and solutions. II
"7. As a part of the Area of County
Critical Concern determination, the
Administrator is directed to request the
State Department of Health and
Rehabilitation, as well as the Monroe
County Health Department, to in-depth
investigate and review all entities in
the ACCC as to health and sanitation
requirements as well as legalities of
use, based on capacity conditions, and
provide recommendations as to resolution
of problems and illegalities found."
"8. As a part of the Area of County
Critical Concern determination, the

to in-depth investigate and determine
State ownership of lands within each

adherence, and provide recommendations
as to resolution of problems and

Concern determination, the Administrator
is directed to request the Monroe County
Sheriff's Department to in-depth
