MINUTES APRIL 9, 1973 PAGE TWO In her letter she stated that the Division of Family Services and also the Health Department has inspected the premises and given their approval for the care of at least ten children. After a lengthly discussion, Mayor Howell instructed Mr. Vogel to write Mrs. Rooks advising her that she would have to take the original petition back to the neighbors in the area stating she would like to keep ten children in her home instead of five as stated in her original petition. Mr. Vogel suggested that the City ask the Supervisor of Elections to move Precinct 36A to the Court Room at the City Police Station. He stated they have amply parking, ample room and it will not interfer with the City Hall operations . The City Commission concurred that Precinct 36A be moved to the Court Room of the Atlantic Beach Police Station. Mr. Vogel stated he had received a request from the Amber Corporation to build business offices on Mayport Road and Saratogo Circle North and South. It is currently zoned single family dwellings and the Amber Corporation requested that it be placed under P .U.D. After discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Rosborough, seconded by Commissioner Minton and carried that this request be sent to the Advisory Planning Board for their recommendations. Mr. Vogel stated that the City has issued a building permit for a house to be constructed on Belvedere and David Street. Mr. Jack Bennett, 385 Fifth Street, Atlantic Beach, wanted to know if the City is going to run sewer lines down Belvedere? After a lengthly dis- cussion about setting up sewer and water districts, it was moved by Commissioner Speed, seconded by Commissioner Minton and carried to allow Mr. Walter Parks, Consulting Engineer, to go ahead and de- sign the sewer system and call for bids.

Mayor Howell instructed Mr. Vogel to write to Michie City Publications Company to correct this error. MINUTES APRIL 9, 1973 PAGE THREE Commissioner Rosborough suggested that since the City of Jacksonville has not done anything about placing signs to notify the citizens that Seminole Road is closed at Hanna Park, then the City of Atlantic Beach should do something about the situation. Chief Stucki stated he had met with the Park Ranger at Hanna Park and discussed this with him. Commissioner Rosborough suggested the City place a sign at Atlantic Boulevard and Seminole Road that this road is not a thoroughfare and that Seminole Road is closed at Hanna Park. There were no objections from the City Commission. Mayor Howell reported that he and Mr. Ball, City Attorney, traveled to Tallahassee, Florida, March 19th and 20th, 1973, for the purpose of attending the First District Court of Appeals and after concur- rence by all parties moved to withdraw a motion previously filed to hold in escrow monies from Occupational Lisenses.
