they filed the application to be included in their existing use by
exception and that there were no additions or deletions from the

Commission that the use by exception be granted with the provision
that upon the second conviction by the Code Enforcement Board for
storage of junk, abandoned, and/or inoperable vehicles as defined
by Atlantic Beach Ordinance and the Florida Statutes , the exception
will be revoked. Pat Pillmore seconded the motion.
Ruth Gregg suggested that the motion include the provision that
the City check for violations at least once a year and/or that the

the use by exception be granted solely to the owner of the
property . Mrs . Gregg seconded the amended motion and it passed
unanimously .

home which would encroach the front yard setback at 2209 Alicia
Lane.
Safa Mansouri , representing PBD, Inc . , and Dr . W. Fleming, the
owner of the property, introduced himself to the board and stated
the variance was requested to construct a residence on an existing
foundation which was originally constructed for a spec home . He

garage in place of the original two-car garage.

the driveway would be eliminated in front of the property and the
proposed construction would only require a small addition to the
rear of the structure.
After discussion Mrs . Gregg moved to grant the variance and Mr .
McGowan seconded the motion.
Mr . Frohwein asked if the bay window depicted on the drawing
