Currently served by well and septic, all existing structures will be removed for future development, including on-site drainage and part of a retail building. This application amends the Future Land Use and Zoning Maps to assign City designations (Chart 1), rezoning from Marion County General Agriculture (A-1) to City Wholesale Business (B-5) and changing land use from Marion County Employment Center to City Commercial. The proposed designations are consistent with the intended use and compatible with surrounding properties. Commissioner Dwyer asked when the city would find out what business will be coming in. DSD Chancey stated that their next step will be to submit a site plan, which will be occurring soon.

04/21/2026 Commission Meeting Page 2 of 5 Commissioner Smith stated that he doesn’t want to approve it without knowing what the business will be. Commissioner Goldman remarked that the goal of the zoning change is to make the property consistent with the land around it. He further stated that the developer’s agreement and site plan are the opportunities for the City to make specifications in writing. DSD Chancey stated that there is a study being done by FDOT and they will be putting in a light on Hwy 441. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve Ordinance 2026-05 on Final Reading, Title Only; seconded by Commissioner Livsey. Motion was called by a roll call vote.

DSD Chancey stated the subject parcels are commercially zoned properties owned by Brian Ehlers Construction Company LLC. This application, initiated by the property owner, annexes the properties into the City of Belleview. The properties are surrounded by commercial and residential properties. The properties have convenient access to US HWY 441 and SE 70th Ave Rd. All four parcels are currently vacant. The ordinance was approved on first reading at the March 17, 2026 meeting. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve Ordinance 2026-06 on Final Reading, Title Only; seconded by Commissioner Dwyer. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Goldman, Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Dobkowski PUBLIC HEARING: FIRST READING a. Ordinance 2026-08: Roll-up and Hurricane Shutters Mayor Dobkowski read Ordinance 2026-08, Roll-up and Hurricane Shutters, Title Only. DSD Chancey state that at the March 3rd and March 17 th Commission meetings, the Commission discussed the city code (Sec.134-665), which prohibits shutters installed on the exterior of commercial buildings. As a result, staff was directed to bring back a proposed ordinance to allow certain at-risk businesses to be permitted to install exterior shutters for crime prevention. At-risk businesses include pharmacies, pawn shops, convenience stores, or other businesses deemed at risk by the Chief of Police.

04/21/2026 Commission Meeting Page 3 of 5 The proposed ordinance also addresses storm shutters to be used temporarily in the event of a hurricane, tornado, or tropical storm watch has been declared for the area encompassing the city. Tracks for storm shutters are to be painted the same color as the exterior of the building. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Livsey to approve Ordinance 2026-07 on First Reading, Title Only with amendments discussed; seconded by Commissioner Goldman. Commissioner Dwyer stated that based on the crime statistics from Chief Holland, he does not see a need to change to the code. Commissioner Smith agreed that three break-ins in five years out of 400 businesses inside the city does not warrant a change and further stated that they look unattractive and unwelcoming. Mayor Dobkowski pointed out that the proposed ordinance does not allow all businesses to have shutters, only the at-risk businesses outlined in the code and ones designated by Chief Holland upon submittal of an exception. Commissioner Goldman remarked that he researched other communities and found that most do not regulate shutters at all. As a small business owner, he feels the City should not impede people from protecting their businesses and prefers there be no restrictions at all. He commented that he liked the section that specified the shutters be the same color as the building. DSD Chancey clarified that the railing channel must be the same, but can amend the ordinance to require shutters be the same color as the building for the second reading. Commissioner Smith asked what is to be done if graffiti is painted on the shutters. DSD Chancey stated there is code in place to address graffiti through Code Enforcement, but an amendment can be added to specify the amount of days before action is taken by the City. Attorney Landt explained that all businesses must follow the current timeline for removing graffiti from their buildings. Attorney Landt said that if a business applies for an exception and Chief Holland determines it is not needed, the business owner can appeal to the City Commission. Mayor Dobkowski commented that she is in favor of any business requesting to have them, but noted that until last year, only five businesses had ever put up shutters and doesn’t believe there will be a lot of applications. Attorney Landt requested Commissioner Livsey request a friendly amendment to include the recommended changes regarding graffiti and the color of the shutters. Commissioner Livsey agreed with the language of the friendly amendment and made the motion; seconded by Commissioner Goldman who accepted the friendly amendment. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Goldman, Livsey, Dobkowski Nays: Dwyer, Smith
