At this time the Board conducted joint public hearings with the Lee County Planning Board. Planner Althea Thompson outlined the first amendment to the jointly adopted Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for an amendment to remove Cluster Subdivisions.

The larger machines are basically considered a structure due to the fact that a foundation is required to construct them. The small units are considered more like a vending machine in that they are self- supported, does not require a foundation, and are UL rated similar to a drink machine. Staff is recommending language be added to allow the ice vending machines up to 7' W x 10' Din size as an Accessory Use only in specific districts. By allowing them as an accessory use, they will be placed on lots that have been developed according to an approved site plan.
