The Planning Commission has held a public <br />hearing on the proposed ordinance, at which time they suggested <br />changes. He noted two draft ordinances have been submitted for <br />review and noted the differences. <br />Butler stated she was willing to adopt whatever is reasonable, but <br />d i d not wish to drag out the process longer than necessary. She <br />requested that styrofoam buoys also be banned and requested it be <br />added to the language of the ordinance. <br />Callahan submitted a revised draft ordinance which includes a <br />preamble, provides for the ordinance to be included under the <br />public nuisance section of the code, and defines non - encased <br />styrofoam in a similar way. He noted his ordinance requires all <br />non - conforming structures to be removed by December 31, 1994. He <br />added that most marinas using these structures have been doing so <br />for some time, and he felt five years was too long to allow this <br />practice to continue. <br />Jabbour noted that this is the third season of use for all. the <br />marinas using styrofoam structures. <br />Hurr stated that the LMCD approved floating docks, but not a <br />specific type. She noted that the LMCD.is* anticipating adoption of <br />an ordinance banning the use of styrofoam. She suggested that the <br />ordinance be-reworded, changing "City waters" to "City limits ". <br />Jabbour asked how the proposed ordinance addresses replacement of <br />existing docks. <br />Callahan suggested adding, "this exception does not include the <br />right to repair or replace ". <br />3 <br />
