VP Rotary President Charlie Gallagher honored In a ceremony at Villa Park City Hall, Charlie Gallagher, outgoing Villa Park Rotary president and Eagle Scout, received the Cliff Dochterman Award, June 18. The award is named for Cliff Dochterman, who served as Ro- tary International President in 1992-93, and was an Eagle Scout, achieving the rank in 1939. The award recognizes a person who has served his community through scouting and Rotary, and is award- ed only to a few individuals. Roy Jefferson, outgoing Ro- tary District 5320 governor, pre- sented the award along with Lane Calvert, representing the Inter- national Fellowship of Scouting Rotarians, and incoming Rotary District Governor Chris Skorina. Local U. S. Boy Scout executive Russell Etzenhouser and fellow Cliff Dochterman awardee, Ro- tarian Bill Baker, presented Gal- lagher with a commemorative knot for his Eagle Scout uniform. Gallagher has remained deep- ly involved in scouting, chairing multiple Eagle Scout award din- ners, and is currently serving as chairman, Orange County Boy Scouts of America National Ea- gle Scouts Association. In addition to his scouting achievements, Gallagher has had a distinguished tenure as Rotary Club president for 2023-24. Men’s group comes together in OPA By Ron Spence A new men’s group has formed to provide an opportunity for the men of Orange Park Acres and neighboring communities to con- nect as neighbors, grow as friends and work as brothers. This group was born from a need to connect, to remember that we are not alone in our neighbor- hood, adrift in our purposes, not isolated from other men. The vision is that this group will become a place to share friend- ship and offer talents; for sharing tools, for lending strength, for helping one another. Interest groups in such diverse areas as golf and woodworking, pickleball and mountain biking, aviation, Bible study and many more have been formed. There is a group for nearly every interest. The group, as a whole, also meets every other month to connect and check in. Now is a perfect time for any local men to come check out this new group. All neighbors are welcome. The next general meet- ing is Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. For more information, please inquire at opamensgroup@gmail.com .

The ordinance also clarifies pro- tections for neighborhood charac- ter, as allowed by law. The updated state regulations refer mainly to ADUs, 800 to 1,200-sq.-ft. units, and not Junior ADUs that are 500 sq. ft., or less. Under the new law, ADUs are al- lowed in front yards if mandated four-foot setbacks cannot be achieved in side or back yards. The height limit for a detached ADU is 16 ft., or 18 ft., if locat- ed within one-half mile of pub- lic transit, or 20 ft. if needed to match the roof pitch of the prima- ry unit. An attached ADU may be up to 25 ft. high to match the roof pitch of the existing structure, but not exceed two stories. The city can no longer require a minimum number of bedrooms or a common living area in ADUs. The unit must contain an “effi- ciency” kitchen, but the city may not impose standards on sinks, cooking appliances or refrig- eration. Deed restrictions are no longer required for ADUs, as the state now allows them to be sold separately from the primary resi- dence. Separate sales, however, involve a lot of paperwork and legal wrangling. Despite overriding state laws regarding ADUs, cities are still permitted to impose design stan- dards on them, to prevent adverse impacts on historical districts. Design standards may also be ap- plied to other neighborhoods, as long as they are not “arbitrary, excessive or burdensome.” ADUs in Orange historic dis- tricts or listed as historic proper- ties are subject to the established design standards already con- tained in the city code. In Old Towne, for example, the inoper- able garage door of a converted garage must be retained in place. Non-historic doors may be re- placed with a compatible door style, or the opening simply walled off. In non-historic districts, the city’s standards are intended to provide visual variety and inter- est, and may require various ar- chitectural elements (windows, doors, recesses, projections, eaves, cornices) to avoid a build- ing façade with a continuous plane of more than 20 feet. The city may impose objective design standards on windows, trim, ex- terior wall materials and color palettes to be compatible with neighboring structures.

Elks serve dinner on the beach Several times a year, the Or- ange Elks go to Camp Pendleton to serve lunch on the beach to a group of Marines. This time, the Elks served a barbecue dinner to Marine Aviation Logistics Squad- ron 39, known as MALS-39. MALS-39 provides all the aviation supply and intermediate level of aircraft maintenance, avi- onics, and ordnance support for nine flying squadrons. Fourteen Orange Elks served pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, hot dogs, baked beans, corn, cole- slaw, potato salad, watermelon and cookies to over 400 enlisted men, women and their families CoC soliciting nominations for Citizen of the Year The Orange Chamber of Com- merce is accepting nominations from the community for the 2023 Citizen of the Year.
