Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor not on the Agenda. Mr. W. H. Adams, Jr. advised that two members of his family have been bitten by the same dog on Beach Avenue. His grandson was bitten and the owners promised to keep the dog up; last week his wife was bitten by the same dog. He would like to see a stricter enforcement of our "dog ordinance". He also advised that he was going to be forced to have his house scrubbed down again due to the grease and soot from the Chateau. The matter was discussed and referred to City Manager Vogel to check on the filters and the gas lights at the Chateau, and if he needs any help on the matter to call on the Hotel and Restaurant Commission. A letter was presented from Mr. Leon Holbrook, representing the Atlantic Beach Investment Corporation, requesting the rezoning of the approximately 10. 5 acres located on the Northwest corner of Levy Road and Mayport Road to allow the erection of apartment buildings thereon. The property is presently zoned "Industrial" . Mr. Gifford Grange appeared on behalf of the Atlantic Beach Investment Corporation to see if there is a possibility of getting this property rezoned as they would like to build 150 units, with swimming pool, tennis courts, etc. at a cost of approximately 12 million dollars. He advised they will be mainly for Naval officers and will rent for $175.00 to $250.00 per month. Mr. Dick Miller, one of the owners, advised from information received from Navy there is a great need for this type project. They plan apartments on the order of the Tahitian Apartments in Neptune Beach, of the type that will upgrade the community. It was agreed we need some more definite plans and information, not opposed to the project, but not in favor of zoning to Residence "C" , which would permit lower cost apartments. This should come under the Planned Unit Development on which a committee is now working. Mr. Minutes 5/26/69 Page #2 • Grange and Mr. Miller agreed to bring in temporary building and plot plans for consideration at next meeting. We need to know more about the project before taking action and they have to have approval before having formal plans drawn and securing financing. A request was presented from Dale Jordan requesting approval for extension of our sewer service to Jordan' s Trailer Park and Jordan' s Grocery Store. It was advised that if approved Mr. Jordan would pay full cost of extending the line and that we have an Ordinance covering outside City sewer service charges. The City has no obligation as to financing the installation, only the maintenance once it is accepted and turned over to us. After discussion Mr. Weldon moved that upon approval of Mr. Parks of feasibility from Engineering and practical standpoint the City Manager be authorized to go ahead at the entire expense of the applicant, seconded by Mr. Longo and carried.

Mr. Vogel reported he has arranged for the City Hall to be painted by City forces on their off time and pay them by the hour - can do within budget. Mr. Weldon advised he guessed it was smart thing to do, but we have been painting every two to three years and questioned if we had considered putting this new plastic or aluminum siding on it. Mr. Vogel advised he would investigate. Mr. Longo advised that he and Chief Stucki have done some riding in the City and will have a report at the next meeting on blind corners, some of which are very bad.
