Ball, City Attorney Gloria June Knight, City Clerk The meeting was called to order by Mayor-Commissioner, Mr. Howell. The invocation was given by Commissioner Rosborough, followed by the pledge to the flag . The minutes of the meeting of August 27, 1973 were approved as written upon a motion by Commissioner Rosborough, seconded by Commissioner Speed and carried. Mayor Howell recognized visitors and called for any business from the floor not on the agenda. There was none . Mayor Howell stated that the City Commission had received correspon- dence from. Mr. George Bull in reference to 73 acres known as Bull Airport. Mr. Bull ' s letter stated that the land owners are anxious to move forward with the planning of this development and they wanted to know if the City Commission had reached a decision as to whether or not the exchange of land will take place. Mayor Howell stated that this was taken up by the Commission on March 26, 1973, wherein Mr. Bull wanted to give 4.78 acres, located next to the Sewer Plant, to the City of Atlantic Beach in exchange for 1.33 acres now owned by the City of Atlantic Beach, for the purpose of changing the city yard site. Mayor Howell reported that on July 18, 1973, Mr. Richard Hamilton delivered to the City of Atlantic Beach an appraisal of the two parcels of property. Mr. Hamilton had some misinformation so the City requested another appraisal. To date, the City has not received a reply from the last inquiry. Mayor Howell instructed the City r`Inager to contact Mr. Hamilton for an immediate reply to the City' s letter. After lengthly discussion Mayor Howell suggested that this request on the swapping of property be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. There were no objections. MINUTES SEPTEMBER 10, 1973 PAGE TWO Selva Marina Drive: The City Commission received correspondence from Mr. George Bull wherein he stated that on Selva Marina Drive, north of the Country Club, the trees in the median are not in good shape and he would like the City Commission to consider employing a tree surgeon to do what- ever work is necessary in regard to nourishing these trees so they can be brought back to a healthy state. Mayor Howell directed the City Manager and Mr. Hilliard, Director of Public Works, to bring back to the City Commission more information on the condition of the trees. Saturiba Drive: Mr. Bull was present in the audience and asked permission to explain the letter he had written to the City Commission. He stated that the Five B's Realty, Ltd. , successors in ownership from Selva Marina Realty Company, had installed at its expense a culvert to the dimen- sion and grade designed by Mr. Walter Parks along the southerly boundary and in Saturiba Drive to perfect the drainage of the area east of Selva Marina Drive. The installation of the culvert in the ditch that formerly existed resulted in the southerly third of the right-of-way being fairly level and devoid of trees. Due to this fact, he proposed that if and when the deep gravity sewer main is installed, running from Selva Marina Drive to Seminole Road, that it be paralled and reasonably adjacent to the culvert so that no addit- ional trees will be lost. He further proposed that the water main connecting Selva Marina Drive to Seminole Road be installed in this cleared area for the same reason. In discussing the future develop- ment with Mr. Vogel and Mr. Hilliard, we learned that the City's vehicles for sanitation and emergency are extremely limited and can- not operate effectively because Sea Oats Drive, Park Terrace East, Park Terrace West and Live Oak Lane presently dead end at Saturiba Drive. In addition, the City personnel as well as the developers of both Selva Marina and Sevilla recognize that the paved improvements of Saturiba Drive would be a very desirable accomplishment. Mr. Bull further stated that in regard to the improvement of Saturiba Drive, the Commissioners are first asked to visit the northerly ex- tension of Selva Marina Drive as the developers of Sevilla have im- proved it. With this type of improvement in mind, the Commission is requested to authorize that one traffic lane in the northerly half of Saturiba Drive be installed, similar to the present exten- sion of Selva Marina Drive, with connections from this one lane of pavement to the existing pavement of the four streets above mentioned in Selva Marina. MINUTES SEPTEMBER 10, 1973 PAGE THREE While the one traffic lane would not permit passing, it is recognized that where the streets join, passing could be accomplished and because no passing is possible, the speed limit along this one lane of pave- ment could be posted at 10 miles an hour. After discussion concerning the cost of this project, Mayor Howell requested that Mr. George Bull bring the figures to the next meeting so that it could be discussed with Mr. Walter Parks, Consulting Engineer, and the City Commission as a whole. Chicken Unlimited, Inc. An application for a building permit for a restaurant on Lots 767, 768, 769 and 770, Block 10 Saltair Subdivision was presented to the City Commission. Mayor Howell stated the plans meet all the speci- fications of the Hotel and Restaurant Commission and the Southern Standard Building Code. Commissioner Minton moved, seconded by Commissioner Speed and carried that the plans be approved for Chicken Unlimited, Inc. , on Lots 767, 768, 769 and 790, Block 10 Saltair. Lloyd L. Wagnon - Application for P .U.D. Lots 33, 37, 39 Block 9, Atlantic Beach: Mr. Wagnon was present and requested permission from the City Com- mission to build two single family dwellings with a common party wall on Lot 37 and Lot 39, Block 9 Atlantic Beach Subdivision. He stated that these dwellings are of a design and quality that would be particularly complementary to this street and would be in keeping with the better homes in Atlantic Beach. Mayor Howell instructed Mr. Wagnon to present his plans to the Advisory Planning Board for their recommendations, George Bull, Jr. - Re: Lots 1 and 2, Ocean Grove: Mr. George Bull, Jr. asked the City Commission if any decision had been made regarding the extension of water lines to Lots 1 and 2 Ocean Grove. Mayor Howell stated that until there is some final action on the extension of water lines to Ocean Village One, North Atlantic Beach, that the City could not extend water service to Lots 1 and 2 Ocean Grove. Mr. Bull was advised that this request would be taken up at the next Commission Meeting. MINUTES SEPTEMBER 10, 1973 PAGE FOUR City Ordinance 30 ' Height and Two Story Restrictions: Mr. George Bull, Jr. asked the City Commission for clarification on Chapter 28, Section 28-8 cf The Code of The City of Atlantic Beach wherein the ordinance states that no building or structure shall be erected to a height in excess of two stories or in excess of thirty feet. After discussion, Mayor Howell suggested that the City Attor- ney look into the wording of Chapter 28, Section 28-8 and draw up a new ordinance deleting the words "two stories" ; the number of stories being irrelevant as long as the ordinance complies with the building code. It was moved by Commissioner Rosborough, seconded by Commissioner Minton and carried that the City Attorney draw up an ordinance eliminating the number of stories in Chapter 28, Section 28-8 of The Code of The City of Atlantic Beach. R. L. Williamson & Associates: Mr. Williamson stated that he had acquired property on Mayport Read in the vicinity of the Buccaneer Mobile Home Park, outside the City Limits. He requested that the City of Atlantic Beach furnish water to this project. Mayor Howell stated that this request was a carry over from the last meeting and at this time the City is still unable to furnish water to projects outside the City Limits.
