04-15-73 v MINUTES OF THE ADVISORY PLANNING BOARD OF THE CITY OF
A^LANTIC BEACH HELD AT THE CITY HALL, APRIL 15 , 1973
AT 8 :00 P.M.
PRESENT: Mr. R. L. Wardrep. Chairman
Mrs. Mary Pace
Mrs. Jan Tierney
Mr. Glover Weiss, Members
AND: Mr. R. C. Vogel, City Manager
Mr. F. W. Fogg, Commission Coordinator
The meeting was opened in due form by the Chairman, and
the minutes of the previous meeting were adopted as read.
The first item under consideration was the request of -._
Mr. Kelly Amber for a Planned Unit Development on Mayport
Road between Saratoga Circle North and Saratoga Circle South.
This was a carry over from the last meeting, and after much
discussion the Board recommended to the City Commission that
the plan be approved limited to an institutional type
enterprise that is not a nuisance and the chief characteristic
of which is a service to the neighborhood.
Next, Mr. Kauffman and Mr. Joseph appeared before the Board
with their request that a two family house be permitted on
the Southwest corner located at 10th Street and Ocean Blvd.
The reasoning for this request for justification is predicated
on the unusually large size of the lot as compared to the
surrounding lots. The chief discussion was centered around
the legality and precedent setting exceptions that would be
created if this were allowed. After lengthy discussion, the
Board voted to refer the item to the Commission with the
Board's recommendation for approval, however, the next item
to be considered was a similiar request from Mr. and Mrs.
H. C. Pierson.
The Piersons own Lots 1, 2 , and 3 , Block 1, Atlantic Beach
which is directly south of the unnumbered lot owned by
Mr. Kauffman and Mr. Joseph. The Piersons requested that
they be allowed to use lots 1 and 2 for a two family dwelling
with a single party wall. This concept would not destroy
the basic intent of the Zoning Code, and the only variance
would be sideline set back between the two houses.
The two requests became welded into a single discussion
and a proposal emurged that could possibly satisfy Code
requirements and Commission approval by increasing the
Kauffman, Joseph building sight by them purchasing from
the Piersons Lot 1 or a portion thereof. The Piersons
in turn could retain a portion of Lot 1 and develop their
two family unit on Lots 2 and 3.
M A
Mr. Wardrep suggested that the parties involved get
together and resubmit a revised proposal to the Planning
Board, and if they were successful in negotiating a plan
essentially as discussed, Mr. Wardrep statedthat he
would call a special meeting prior to the next City
Commission meeting so that the Planning Board could review
the plan and submit a recommendation to the City Commission.
The next item presented was the letter from Mr. John W.
Roberts, in which he requested permission to move a mobile
home onto his property on Main Street in Section H. He
stated that he would like to construct his own homestead
on this pic perty and if he was allowed to live in the
mobile home it would be more convenient for him to work
on the construction of his home.
The Board after discussion, voted not to allow this
variance and asked the City Manager to so advise Mr.
Roberts by letter.
There being no further business the Chairman declared
the meeting adjourned.
