Title 12, chapter 17 is amended in the following instances: (a) The chapter is amended by substituting “Department of Planning and Natural Resources” for “Department of Conservation and Cultural Affairs” wherever it appears; and (b) Section 715, is amended as follows: - (1) Subsection (b) is re-designated as subsection (d); (2) At the end subsection (2), paragraph (a), subparagraphs (/) through (iii) and new subsections (b) and (c) are added to read: “The Department may take or cause a derelict vessel to be taken into custody immediately upon their discovery. Upon taking custody of a derelict vessel the - Department shall concurrently (i) publish a notice of intended disposition once in a newspaper of general circulation; (i?) when possible, post a notice of intended disposition on the vessel; and (iii) serve a duplicate of the notice of intended disposition by certified mail, with a return receipt, on | (A) the registered owner of the vessel, if known, at the registered owner's last known address or the address on record with any department or the United States Coast Guard; and (B) all lien holders who have filed a financing statement indexed in the name of the registered owner, or who are shown on the records of any department or the United States Coast Guard. , (c) (1) If the vessel is not repossessed within 30 days after the publication or mailing of the notice, whichever occurs later, the Commissioner may dispose of the vessel by negotiated sale; except that when two or moré prospective purchasers indicate an interest in purchasing the vessel, the Commissioner shall sell the vessel at public auction to the highest bidder in the manner as prescribed by rules and regulations promulgated hereunder. (2) If no prospective purchaser indicates a desire to purchase the vessel, the vessel may be properly disposed of as junk, donated to a governmental agency, or destroyed.” BILL SUMMARY This measure authorizes the Department of Planning and Natural Resources to sell or otherwise dispose of wrecked and derelict vessels. Existing law designates the Department of Planning and Natural Resources as the agency of the territory authorized to remove derelict vessels from public waters. Existing law, nonetheless, does not authorize the Government to such vessels.

The appropriation is needed to fund territory- wide improvements to its Engineering Division. This measure will also assist the Department in providing training to all architect and engineering professionals and project inspectors, thereby enhancing the professional and technical capabilities of the Department’s engineering and management services. Moreover, it will reduce the government’s dependence on outside contractual architectural/engineering services, and will lead to the early identification of impediments to project completion.

SCZ 12 Application No. ZAC-99-12 March 10, 2000 Petition to rezone Plot No. 12 Estate Profit, King Quarter, from R-4 (Residential Medium Density) to B-3 (Business Scattered) in order to establish a bar and restaurant. RINDINGS: Acreage: Plot No. 12 Estate Profit consist of approximately 0.22038 U.S. Acres, as more fully shown on Public Works Drawing No. 997, revised February 17, 1965. Ownership: The owners of the record are Edwin Ortiz and Carmen Villegas as per recorded Quit Claim Deed No. 4037/1999, dated September 10, 1999, Present Use: There are currently several structures on the lot, one of which serves as the main residence of Ortiz and Villegas, another serves as residence for a family member, another serves as storage, and the last serves as an area for cooking. Surrounding Uses: The subject lot is located in a predominantly residential area (north, east and west) with few business activities in the general area. To the east is a vacant lot which is being proposed for customer parking by the applicant. Public Response: At DPNR’s February 3, 2000 public hearing, Mr. Ortiz spoke on his and his wife’s behalf regarding the petition for the proposed rezoning. There were three area residents present and they all expressed support for the petition. Support for the petition was also expressed by the other petitioners for zoning amendments whose applications were heard at the hearing. There were no verbal or written opposition to the petition. Analysis: Mr, Ortiz and Ms. Villegas appeared at the February 3, 2000 public hearing, and Mr. Ortiz testified that it is their intent to operate a restaurant and tavern on the subject lot. Occasionally the premise is utilized for fund raising activities for a baseball team. The applicant indicated that when he purchased the property, he was under the assumption that it was pre-existing, nonconforming since businesses had previously been Application No. ZAC-99-12 Page Two March 10, 2000 operated from the lot. When Mr. Ortiz learned the property was not grandfathered, he then proceeded to petition for a rezoning. In addition to the proposed uses mentioned in the petition, the applicants are also contemplating utilizing the property for a barber shop and beauty salon. These businesses are intended to serve area residents, employees of HOVENSA and VIALCO, and the general public. The subject lot is located along a very busy public road which transverses to and from the Melvin H. Evans Highway. In DPNR’s analysis of the subject lot, it was noted that on- site parking is limited, and only two (2) to three (3) vehicles can be accommodated on the lot at one time. Being that the B-3 zone which has been requested requires off-street parking, the applicant was asked to explain how this issue would be addressed. Mr. Ortiz informed and presented supporting documentation that shows he has been granted permission from an adjacent property owner to utilize Plot 13 Estate Profit for off-street parking for patrons of the businesses, The applicant also indicated that he has been given verbal approval from HOVENSA to utilize a lot across the street from his lot for parking. DPNR requested documentation of both agreements, but to date, only the documentation from Mr. Nasario Navarro, Sr. , owner of Plot 13 Estate Profit, has been received. The requested B-3 designation allows a total of one hundred and forty-three (143) uses as a matter of right. The district was primarily established to allow single businesses which provide convenient shopping and services for the neighborhood within which it is located. Consequently, uses of the district range from low intensive, uses such as general and professional offices, art galleries, and retailers, to higher intensive uses such as automobile service stations and repair shops, and drive-through banks and restaurants. Due to the surrounding residential character of the area, the subject lot should be restricted from high intensity uses. The Department does not oppose the uses proposed by the applicants. The Department, however does oppose the requested B-3 zoning district, which permits as matter of right an extensive range of uses, several of which are not compatible or consistent with the characteristics of the area Conclusion: The Department concludes that a Use Variance should be granted to the property, in order to protect the residential character of the neighborhood. In rendering its conclusion, the Department analyzed the following facts of the application: (1) the uses which the applicant has proposed, (2) the character of the immediate area, and (3) the occupancy of the lot. Based on the foregoing, the Department concludes that a use variance be granted to the property to specifically allow the restaurant, tavern, barber shop and beauty salon. a *~ ) — Application No. ZAC-99-12 Page Three March 10, 2000 In conjunction with the variance, the applicant would be required to meet the setback, off-street parking, and loading and unloading requirements of the R-4 zone, as well as provide buffering to prevent or mitigate any adverse visual impacts to adjacent residential properties, Recommendation: The Department of Planning and Natural Resources recommends that Plot 12 Estate Profit, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands be granted a Use Variance for the purpose of operating a restaurant, tavern, barber shop and beauty salon with the condition that all provisions 6F R&4 istrict retain their applicability to the property. The 1. . Department further recommends the following conditions: The construction and development of the proposed business structure and activity shall not cause to alter the residential context or character of the neighborhood; Where the property abuts any residentially zoned lots, a buffer of fencing, trees, and/or shrubs, approximately 6’0°’-7°0” high, be installed surrounding the property to protect and maintain the visual aesthetics and general safety of the area and; . The applicant shall comply with the existing R-4 zoning district, as prescribed in V.LC.
