FIXING BEACHSIDE NORTH Why Ormond Beach plans to invest in north peninsula’s septicto-sewer conversion.

SOUTH A tour of several renovation projects.

JARLEENE ALMENAS

With almost 4,000 septic tanks, Ormond-by-the-Sea accounts for three of the five worst areas for septic systems in Volusia County.

In a 2013 report by the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County, the north peninsula was deemed unsuitable for septic systems due to the permeability of the soil, the proximity to water bodies, age of the tanks, depth to water table and high density.

Last year, the city of Ormond Beach was starting to look at converting homes in Ormondby-the-Sea to city sewer, and in the strategic planning workshop on Feb. 27, 2019, commissioners discussed investing $1 million for permitting and designing the first phase of the conversion in the north peninsula. It was deemed as a commission priority by four out of the five city commissioners.

But with Ormond-by-the-Sea under the county’s jurisdiction, why should the city of Ormond Beach be responsible for Ormondby-the-Sea’s septic problem?

“The answer is because no one else can,” City Commissioner Dwight Selby said. “There is nobody else who can do it.”

The septic tanks may not be in the city, but Selby said they’re still impacting the city’s waterway — the Halifax River. The city has the capacity in its sewer system, and the money in the water and wastewater general fund reserve; there is currently about $10 million in excess in that fund.

Accelerating the septic-tosewer conversion was voted as the topmost priority by 48% of the attendants at the OB Life workshop on environment and water quality on Aug. 30, 2018. However, polling data shows only 3.4% of the estimated 110 attendees were from Ormond-by-the-Sea. City Commissioner Troy Kent was the only commissioner not to support the priority, but only because he believes that the city should start by converting the estimated 300 homes under city

Empty, aging buildings. Broken or boarded-up windows. These things can be seen here and there along State Road A1A south of Granada Boulevard, a street that also has many flourishing businesses. Fortunately, several renovation projects are in the works.

Traveling north past Andy Romano Beachfront Park, the traveler passes a hotel being rebuilt at 711 S. Atlantic Ave. Ken Patel, who owns several other hotels in the area, is converting the Atlantic Cove to a Hilton Home 2 Suites with 92 rooms. He hopes to have a four-star rating.

Patel, who has been in the area 25 years, bought the Atlantic Cove two years ago. He had the contractors take the hotel down to the steel and concrete so new plumbing and wiring can easily be installed.

Continuing the tour north, you come upon a three-sided, roofless building at the corner of A1A and Florida Avenue. This is the remains of the Stacey’s Buffet building, which is being converted to a surf-style gift shop.

The property owner also plans to redo the façade of the Dollar Store and vacant Tourist Welcome Center next door, according to Steven Spraker, city planning director. The welcome center has a broken window and damaged porch roof.

Spraker said a permit has been pulled for all of the work, so the property owner is moving forward with the project. The owner did not return a call requesting comment.

Next stop on the tour is a vacant building at the corner of A1A and River Beach Drive. Formerly a 7-Eleven, the building is completely boarded up. Records show it is still owned by the Southland Corp., which operates 7-Eleven.

The building is for sale.

Leaving a building boarded up for an extended period and having broken windows are against Ormond Beach city code. When informed by the Ormond Beach Observer of the violations, the Neighborhood Improvement

Total Comfort, an Ormond Beach air conditioning and heating company currently located at 400 N. U.S. 1, is planning to construct a two-phase development at 1345 N. U.S. 1, which will include an outdoor RV and boat storage rental space.

A neighborhood meeting was held to discuss the project on Tuesday, March 12, at the Ormond Beach Senior Center art room, where project engineers Steven Buswell and Parker Mychenberg talked about the development to about 13 people, including city staff. Total Comfort Owner and President Dan Hucks said Total Comfort and the RV and boat storage facility were two separate businesses under the same Cameo Solutions LLC. The RV and boat storage facility was added by the company to help fund the new Total Comfort building. It could house up to 150 vehicles.

“We came up with something that would generate an income,” Hucks said.

The new Total Comfort building will be a two-story 26,514-squarefoot building in the front of the property. A 750-square-foot sales office for the storage facility will be

located behind it. The project also includes two 30,000-gallon storage tanks, and the property is currently zoned light industrial.

It’s likely residents who live in proximity to the project will receive another notice in the near future, as Total Comfort is expecting to seek a special exception for outdoor storage. The company has a designated area in its development which it hopes to use as storage for AC units and spare parts.

A citizen raised a concern over spare parts scattering during a storm, and Hucks reassured her the company keeps parts in secure storage containers.

“We’ve been in Ormond for 43 years, so we want to make sure that we’re not a detriment to the community,” Hucks said.

Will South A1A see better days?

CRA FOR A1A? City Commissioner Troy Kent has proposed extending the downtown Community Redevelopment Area to include State Road A1A, which would allow property improvement grants to help businesses.

The money comes from taxes paid by the businesses.

Extending the CRA would require approval from the Volusia County Council.

“This would give yet another tool in the toolbox, yet another opportunity to address a part of our town that has looked depressed,” Kent said. “And I think the proof is in the pudding when you look at what’s happened in our downtown, from multiple business owners.”

The downtown is Granada Boulevard from A1A to Orchard Street.

Kent said he became an advocate for CRAs when he saw pictures from 10 years ago.

“It’s incredible the transformation, the changes that have taken place,” he said.

When city commissioners, in a recent workshop, selected issues to designate as city strategic planning priorities, only Kent chose the CRA. Three commissioners would have needed to select it in order for it to be added to the city’s strategic priorities list.

The coordinator for the project, Joseph Hopkins, said it is currently under site plan review, and the owner is eager to get started as soon as all approvals are received.

jurisdiction currently on septic tanks. He said he doesn’t think it’s appropriate for city officials to spend taxpayer dollars outside of Ormond Beach, and that the county should be the one putting the money into the project.

“I couldn’t even think about it until we fixed every single resident in Ormond Beach’s issue with septic to sewer,” Kent said.

Selby said he’s hopeful the commission will make the decision to revise the budget in this current fiscal year to allocate the $1 million toward phase 1 of the septic-to-sewer project. In fact, he wanted to do this a year ago and wishes the commission had because of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ focus on water wuality issues.

The city could have already been “shovel-ready.”

“We could be up there pounding on Tom Leek and Paul Renner and Travis Hutson and all of our representatives for some of that $600 million that he’s allocating,” Selby said. “Honestly, I think we would have gotten it.”

Preliminary numbers by the city estimate the first phase (700 homes from Plaza Drive to Longwood Drive) could cost about $5.2 million. The city has broken up the septic-to-sewer project into 10 phases in its utility system master plan update, for a total estimated cost of about $48.4 million.

That only accounts for the

Plaza Drive in Ormond-by-the-Sea would be the first street in phase I of the septic to sewer conversion in the north peninsula.

city’s share of construction. It doesn’t include impact fees or the cost of abandoning septic tanks and hooking up to city sewer.

How much that could cost is still unknown.

And annexation could come into play. That would need to be discussed further at the commission level.

Selby said if residents in the north peninsula annexed into the city, their taxes would go down 9%, according to data he received from the county’s property appraiser. That 9% saving could be put toward the residents’ cost for the transition. The residents’ water bills would also go down by annexing into the city.

Developing an annexation policy and strategy for future growth was also identified as a priority by the City Commission, but Mayor Bill Partington didn’t have the north peninsula in mind.

“It’s too much of a — from an infrastructure perspective — the county has neglected it for so

Annexation

long, that it’s too much of a beast, basically, to tackle,” Partington said.

From the city’s perspective, annexing the north peninsula wouldn’t make sense, he said. If the county made improvements to infrastructure and the residents wanted to come into the city in 10-20 years, then the commission can consider it.

Selby disagreed.

“I think the north peninsula has changed,” Selby said. “I don’t think it is the way it was.”

Kent said he hasn’t heard anyone on the north peninsula ask to

be annexed into the city. There was a referendum decades ago, and the answer to annexing was a “resounding no,” Kent said.

“I don’t like things being pushed down my throat, and I certainly don’t want to push anything down anybody else’s throat,” Kent said.

However, if the residents do get annexed into the city, he said would be in favor of the septicto-sewer project in the north peninsula.

Ormond Beach resident Peggy Farmer said she’s seen what annexing can do for an area, citing U.S. 1. It took five years for the city to work with the county on on it, but annexing an enclave like results in better service.

“I think this is our chance to prove to the whole peninsula that by phase 1, we can work together and be successful for the good of water quality, which is the number one issue in Ormond Beach now for environmental quality,” Farmer said.

There are a lot of possibilities with septic to sewer, but what Selby hopes is that completing the first phase will garner more support from north peninsula residents, and that could help the entire 10-phase project get completed faster. Selby said the hardest thing to do is start.

“How do you eat an elephant?”

Selby said. “One bite at a time.

You have to take the first bite. This is an elephant. This is a gigantic elephant.”

WHAT ABOUT KENT’S IDEA FOR A PIER? City Commissioner Troy Kent’s idea for a concrete pier didn’t get enough votes to be made into a priority at the strategic planning workshop on Feb. 27.

Only Mayor Partington and Kent voted for it, and it needed three votes.

“I’m disappointed, and right now, it’s a dead issue until the day comes where a third elected official in Ormond decides that they think it’s also a good idea and should be a top priority,” Kent said.

Adding to his dismay is that the representative of the property owner for the parcel at 251 S. Atlantic Ave. emailed Kent expressing the owner’s interest in selling the property to the city for a pier.

His hope is that at least one commissioner changes their mind in the near future.

“I think that a pier in Ormond Beach could be an absolute, huge economic engine and driver for our beachside,” Kent said. “I also think that it could become a great landmark and a game changer in our city.”

There is additional pressure to pass the sales tax in this election, as the Florida Legislature will likely pass a bill that will require taxes to be passed by a supermajority. The bill would also require an audit by the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability to be up for public viewing for six months before a referendum, Vancore said.

Better roads. Cleaner water.

Dollars stay local, and between 30-50% is paid by tourists.

These are four of the five arguments put forth by Steven Vancore, of VancoreJones Communications, at the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials on Monday, March 11, for why voters should pass a half-cent sales tax in the upcoming May special election.

Vancore, who was outlining how elected officials should speak about the sales tax, also laid out a fifth point: That the tax has four layers of protection: 1) Florida law governs these expenditures, 2) ballot language directs how money will be used, 3) local expenditures must be approved by the city and county and 4) the expenditures will be overseen by a citizens advisory committee.

Some elected officials said they shouldn’t expect the public to understand sales taxes. Vancore said the public isn’t generally opposed to taxes — just ones where they don’t know where the money goes.

“This is a rare exception, and I would encourage you to be very positive about this because if we want better roads, we want cleaner water in Volusia County, this is exactly the kind of tax you would want,” Vancore said.

Vancore said the public isn’t generally

Visual inspection of cooling system, tires, hoses, belts, thermostat, water pump, cooling fans, coolant condition, brakes, wipers, lights, fluids, and front end.

Vancore said. “We have to get it done now. We have to get it done right.”

Volusia County Council Chairman Ed Kelley said there’s not another alternative available that will allow some of the revenue to come from tourists, and be able to be bonded. Though the county is “taking the brunt,” he said, it is doing what the cities asked for: putting it on the ballot.

“There’s no plan B for me in Port Orange, except to go back to the taxpayer with an increase in ad valorem taxes for our needs,” Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette said.

That wouldn’t be fair to the taxpayers, he added. But, it’s up to the voters. He also said they, as elected officials, should listen to the objections, regardless of whether they have a factual basis or not.

“These are the sentiments of the people we serve, and we need to understand where those sentiments are coming from if we’re going to do a good job of telling them and explaining to them how this is going to benefit them,” Burnette said.

One resident spoke against the sales tax at the meeting. Keith Chester, of DeLand, said the elected officials were still missing the point. He called himself the “naysayer, county basher, all those things that government people start naming anybody that has an opinion other than theirs” and asked why the citizens should believe there is a political will for the county to spend the new sales tax funds on the projects that have been identified.

SunRail and ECHO grants have not solved Volusia’s infrastructure problems, he said. So why will the half cent solve the problems?

He said it was like going to the doctor for a stomachache and being given bad-tasting medicine that doesn’t work, and then going again for a second time to see something changes.

“The third time when he puts that spoon in front of me, I’m probably not going to take it,” Chester said. “And that’s what’s happening. Government is creating their own problem and government is creating the naysayers through what’s happened in the past.”

Adventure awaits at Dave & Buster’s In the retail wonderland of the LPGA/Williamson area, there’s now a place where you can join Lara Croft in an adventure, battle dinosaurs or aliens, race motorcycles, ride a snowboard or drive the Batmobile.

You can do these things, virtually, at Dave & Buster’s, which recently opened at 1507 Cornerstone Blvd. in Tomoka Town Center. The 30,000-squarefoot building features more than 150 arcade games, a restaurant and a sports bar with large TV screens for what General Manager Dave Joy calls a stadium experience.

As the seventh Dave & Buster’s in Florida, the local business hired 260 people.

At a ribbon cutting on March 11, Joy also pointed out the Jurassic World Expedition, an interactive virtual reality cinematic experience.

Nancy Keefer, president and CEO of Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce, liked that the venue offers private spaces for business meetings and fun team-building activities.

ORMOND BEACH

Q +A SUSAN PERSIS, ORMOND BEACH CITY COMMISSIONER

Observer

‘It’s in my DNA’ to help the city of Ormond Beach Q: You were the only commissioner to vote against the car wash at Granada Pointe.

Why?

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

C

ity Commissioner Susan Persis is the first woman in eight years to be elected in the city of Ormond Beach.

It’s a position that, though having served on several boards both in the city and in the community, she never thought she would hold. Before this past election, campaign seasons usually entailed helping her husband, former city commissioner, mayor and current Volusia County School Board member Carl Persis, in his political endeavors. This past year, however, the roles reversed; he was the one helping her.

Susan Persis was a teacher, administrator and principal for 40 years. In honor of International Women’s Day, she answered questions as Zone 3’s commissioner.

Q: You are the first woman elected to the commission in eight years. What has it been like?

A: “It’s not unlike being a school principal, really,” Persis said. “It’s very similar.”

At the end of the day, she said, the goal is to make the best decision for everybody, using your best judgement.

“As an educator, I like people and I like helping people, and that’s just what I’ve done in my career,” Persis said. “This just kind of falls right in line.”

Q: Did you ever think you would run for city commission?

A: “No,” said Persis, laughing.

“No, I never did because Carl has

such a long political career and I was always kind of helping him.

Everything I said I would never do, I’ve done.”

She described herself as an “A-type” personality — a Virgo — and said she’s always set goals for herself throughout her life. Former Zone 3 City Commissioner Rick Boehm, who appointed her to the city’s Quality of Life board, approached her after he made the decision to not run for re-election. He told her she would be great to represent their zone.

At first, Persis said she was unsure. “Then I went, wait a minute, if I don’t do this, I am going to hate myself,” Persis said. “So I just said yes, I want to

LET T ERS

Impact fees won’t stop builders Dear Editor: Volusia County Council Chair Ed Kelley says, “there’s nothing else” but to raise the county sales tax. That’s a typical political answer to everything. At least Councilman Ben Johnson agrees to discuss impact fees.

The rapid growth in our county is the reason for the shortcomings of our infrastructure. Mr. Kelley says, “impact fees couldn’t fix 90% of the requested infrastructure requests.” I don’t believe that.

And political speak says that if we raise impact fees, builders

do it, and we just kind of hit the ground running.”

Q: What are your goals for this term?

A: Adding a public information officer to city staff would be “huge,” she said. Two people have already called her about the position.

“I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for this city,” Persis said. “I really do, because Ormond Beach is a great place.

It’s a jewel in Volusia County, to me. That’s the way I see it.”

It could help bring more people to the city’s restaurants, businesses and events, she said.

“There’s so much going on here, really,” Persis said. “I just want everybody to know how great we are.”

will build elsewhere. I don’t believe that either. St. Johns County has raised their impact fees to cover their growth, and it has not slowed down their growth. An additional $1,000 or $2,000 thrown on new construction would greatly help the infrastructure projects, while not chasing buyers and builders away.

A: Planning Board and city staff said no, Persis said.

“I guess I just felt like, if all these people said no, I just need to support that,” she said. “I knew it was going to pass, because I heard what everyone was saying, but I still think something like that I would have liked to have seen the Planning Board be 100% behind.”

While she said she loves everything developer Paul Holub has brought to the city, and that he cares about the community, she said she felt like she had to listen to the people advising the commission. That’s the hard part about voting, she said.

Q: What is one unexpected thing about your role as city commissioner?

A: It’s time-consuming, she said. Looking back to the days her husband was a principal and mayor, she doesn’t know how he did it. In fact, she said when she talks to him now, he also admits he doesn’t know how he did it.

But, she loves serving.

“It’s not, to me, a job,” Persis said. “It’s just fun. I feel like I’m helping the city, and that makes me feel so good. It just makes me happy. It’s just in my DNA, and I think in Carl’s too — we just get a lot of pleasure feeling that we can help the city or help people.”

FACEBOOK FEEDBACK Proposed sales tax increase Absolutely NO NEW TAXES!!

– Brian Wilson I have read all articles and agree with most issues. One thing stands out are the outrageous salaries plus perks that are placed on the average taxpayers.

– Sandee Hull No. Fiscal Discipline is needed.

– John Barrett

How about impact fees?

How about the over 55 communities pay school taxes?

We are the only county in Florida where they are allowed to get away with that!!! Newly built homes get a one-time tax? We have to pay extra for a new car!!!

How about new home tax on water hookup? Figure something out besides taxing us!! THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX – Bernadette Williams

A 41-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested after police saw him drinking from a bottle — later confirmed to be Fireball Whiskey — while walking on the sidewalk.

Police had been contacted after a grocery store manager called in that the man had threatened him.

The officer was informed that the man smelled of alcohol and walked with a limp.

The man confirmed to an officer that he had been in a confrontation with the grocery store manager, and the officer noticed his slurred speech and orbital swaying as he stood. Since the man kept putting his hand in his left pocket, the officer placed him with restraints and patted him down for weapons; no weapons were found on him.

A 24-year-old Miami woman has died from injuries sustained in a three-vehicle car crash at the intersection of West Granada Boulevard and I-95 on Friday, March 8, according to an Ormond Beach Police report.

The woman, Sarah Ellen Ross, was one of five people transported to the hospital after the crash. She died a short time after arriving at Halifax Health.

Officers responded to the scene around 12:18 p.m., and the crash involved a silver Buick LaCrosse, a black Honda Civic and a white Ford van. According to witness testimony in the crash report, the driver of the Buick LaCrosse, an 80-year-old Palatka man, was driving east on West Granada Boulevard, and ran a red light at the intersection of the I-95 southbound entrance ramp. He collided into the Honda Civic, who had a green turn arrow to turn onto the I-95 southbound ramp.

The Ford van was directly behind the Honda Civic, and hit the Buick LaCrosse in the driver side front fender in the crash.

NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN 2:36 a.m. — 100 block of East Granada Boulevard DUI. Police arrested a 56-yearold Ormond Beach man who was driving 30 miles over the speed limit on his way home from a Daytona Beach strip club. Once stopped, the man’s speech was very slurred, an officer reported.

The man failed the field sobriety exercises and was placed in handcuffs. He later told police that he had two beers and 1 shot of Schnapps at the strip club. Police found a marijuana cigarette in his car, but the man said it was not his — however, he did admit to using medical marijuana. He was then taken to jail.

The Buick LaCrosse’s driver is expected to be OK. The driver of the Ford van was released from the hospital later that afternoon.

The front seat passenger of the Honda Civic is currently in serious but stable condition.

Mainland’s fastest Wright set the school record for the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.25.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

C

ydney Wr i g h t steadies her heartbeat as she crouches down into her stance.

She clears her mind, seeing nothing but the sliver of track ahead of her, waiting on the sharp pop of the starter’s gun.

She explodes out of the block and sprints 200 meters down the track at Flagler Palm Coast High School. She crosses the finish line in 24.25 seconds, taking first place at the 15th-annual East Coast Classic on Feb. 22.

Wright is on the podium with a gold medal around her neck when she receives the

news. Mainland track and field coach Terry Anthony can hardly contain his excitement as he shouts it out: Wright broke the school record for the 200-meter dash, which was previously held

by Buccaneers sprinter Breanna Butts, Wright’s cousin.

“I actually thought it was a slow time,” Wright recalled, all smiles. “It’s been my goal since I found out my cousin had the record. I look up to my cousins a lot because there’s a lot of talent and dedication. I put in a lot of work in the offseason, so it was good to see the hard work pay off.”

Despite being a 15-year-old sophomore, Wright is a mainstay for the Buccaneers’ girls track team in the sprinting events.

In addition to the 200-meter dash, she also typically competes in the 100-meter dash and is a member of the 4x400-meter relay team. She most recently finished in first in the 100-meter and 200-meter at the Five Star Conference Championship on Friday, March 9, at FPC. “She’s running at an all-time best right now,” Anthony said.

“No matter how many races she wins, she wants to get better.

She’s never satisfied.”

The state of Florida is known for its speed.

Briana Williams and Tamari Davis are just some of the names of the country’s elite high school sprinters who hale from the Sunshine State.

“She wants to be at that caliber,” Anthony said. “She has the work ethic, and she definitely has the talent to do so. As long as she keeps working and stays healthy, she’ll be fine.”

Wright has been participating in track since she was 11 years old. For her, there is no offseason. She runs during the high school season, and after that, she trains with her AAU team, the Daytona Express.

When she’s not racing, she’s either lifting in the gym or sprinting up and down hills.

She competed at the FHSAA girls track and field state championship in the 200-meter and 4x400-meter relay last season.

By the time she graduates high school, she hopes to join Mainland history by one day donning a state championship gold medal.

But she still won’t be satisfied.

“I wouldn’t ever stop working. I wouldn’t ever be content,” Wright said. “There’s always someone out there who’s faster.”

“She’s running at an all-time best right now. No matter how many races she wins, she wants to get better.”

YOUR NEIGHBORS “It’s not just the 6-foot-tall rooster I’m looking at, it’s the precedent this sets.”

TROY KENT, city commissioner

“This area needs a little spirit and life.”

DAVID OSHMAN, store owner

Woodstock South closing after city denies outdoor display, music

Hippie days not here again WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

A

kaleidoscope of color greets the eye when entering Woodstock South, 344 S. Yonge St. The store features tie-dyed shirts and other vibrant clothing along with jewelry and metal yard art.

Music from the 1960s and a mild aroma of incense waft through the store.

“When people walk in the shop, I see a change come over them,” said owner David Oshman. “They get happy. They see something creative.”

But soon the store will have different occupants, as the owners are leaving, feeling unwelcome in their adopted home of Ormond Beach.

The store received warm vibes from local customers, according to owners Oshman and his wife, Kamonkwan Tongmusick. But they shed a few tears when they returned home from a City Commission meeting Sept. 19 where their request for a special exception was rejected.

“The main theme was that our store just didn’t belong on U.S. 1,” Tongmusick said recently. “We’re a blight and an eyesore to the neighborhood.”

The store had requested to have outdoor displays and outdoor music.

WARMER HEARTS

The couple, who live upstairs with daughter Jennifer, opened the store in December 2016.

“We were so excited and enthusiastic,” Oshman said.

The merchandise was similar to a store he operated 52 years ago in the days of flower power across from the Fillmore East in New York.

“Our desire was to brighten up U.S. 1 in Ormond Beach and create some excitement and self-expression in a very bland and overlooked area,” Tongmusick said.

Oshman said the area needs a little spirit and life.

The store has no drug paraphernalia, and, in fact, Oshman works in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and had self-help meetings in the store.

A shopper, Bridgett Brock, said the styles in the store have never gone out of fashion for her. She helps with sewing when needed around the shop. She said that’s the type of communal spirit she remembers from the 1960s.

Oshman has lived all over the world, and found Ormond Beach to be beautiful with its setting on the river and ocean. The location for his shop, however, was not ideal on busy U.S. 1, where traffic speeds by. “People are driving by and not shopping,” he said.

To help catch attention, Oshman inquired about displaying his colorful yard art in front of the store. He also asked for outdoor music, in an attempt to make the store a place for community interaction. Oshman envisioned block parties like he remembered years ago in Berkeley, California.

He was told by city staff that he would need to pay $1,650 for the city to consider the special exception.

The Planning Board approved an outdoor display 6 to 1 and outdoor music 5 to 2, so he felt confi-

dent heading into the commission meeting.

After being rejected at the Commission meeting in a 3-to-2 vote, Oshmam said they decided to move.

“We put our building for sale and are finalizing arrangements to move our store and modest home to Massachusetts,” Tongmusick said. “The air may be colder, but we believe their hearts will be warmer.”

The meeting was in September, but they are just now closing the store, having made arrangements to move. Oshman said they have no anger, only disappointment, and that it was just a difference of opinion between them and the city.

THE COMMISSION DECISION

At the City Commission meeting, Steven Spraker, city planning director, said that staff recommended approval, saying a sound test was done for the outdoor music and it met the required decibel levels. The music would be allowed Saturday and Sunday from noon to 7 p.m.

Commissioner Dwight Selby said the owner of nearby Ormond Hotel had complained about music from the store on one occasion.

“What happened previously is not within the scope of what they are requesting tonight,” Spraker responded.

The music that caused the complaint was not done in the volume or location required in the special exception. Spraker also said that if they received two noise complaints in a year, they would lose the privilege of having music.

The store had violated city code in the past by placing merchandise around their monument sign and in the grass in front of the store. Spraker explained that the special exception would not allow those locations. The outdoor display would be under the front overhang of the building.

Commissioner Troy Kent objected to an outdoor display.

“There is a reason we have rules against outdoor storage in

Photos by Wayne Grant

Ormond Beach,” he said. “This to me, this picture on page 1138, screams this is why we have rules.”

The photo on page 1138 showed the merchandise around the monument sign and in the front grass.

“I can’t believe staff has given approval for this,” Kent said.

“This is not what I believe the residents of Ormond Beach want to see.”

He said he wanted the store to be wildly successful but the stuff had to go inside the store.

Commissioner Rob Littleton said the outdoor display did not bother him, and he was comfortable with the rule about banning the music if two violations occur.

Kent said he was also concerned about other businesses requesting outdoor storage.

“It’s not just the 6-foot-tall rooster I’m looking at,” he said, referring to the photo, “it’s the precedent this sets.”

Selby agreed, saying the appearance is not what he considers to be Ormond Beach standards.

The couple was not asked any questions by the officials at the City Commission meeting in September. Selby, Kent and Commissioner Rick Boehm voted no, while Mayor Bill Partington and Littleton voted yes.

Lindsay Bish and Celiena Hart check out the merchandise at Woodstock South with the help of store owner David Oshman. Bish is wearing a wrap from the store.

REMEMBERING JIMI AND JANIS In 1967, when hippies roamed the earth, David Oshman, of Ormond Beach, ran a store in New York called the Naked Grape, across the street from Fillmore East, the club famous for concerts by the major music acts. He met many of the stars, including Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, who would buy clothes, dress in his shop and then go across the street to perform. It was notable how their everyday personality differed from their onstage persona. “They were quiet, and Jimi was almost shy,” Oshman said. A former monk, Oshman keeps the peaceful hippie spirit alive in his shop, Woodstock South, now closing.
