The meeting was called to order by the Mayor Commissioner,
Mr. Howell.
Minutes of the meeting of August 8th, 1960 were approved as writ-
ten upon motion of Mr. Moore, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried.
Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business
from the floor. There was none.
The Civil Defense Committee recommended that an additional donation
be made to the Civil Defense Council not to exceed $175.00 to
cover Atlantic Beaches pro-rata share of insurance on the vehicles
which matter was discussed at the last meeting. Mr. Claiborne
moved that the recommendation of the Committee be accepted, second-
ed by Mr. Moore and carried.
Mr. Waggoner presented a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Chas. S. Perry
requesting permission to have a "Day Nursery" on Lot 18, Block 1
Royal Palms sub-division. The matter was discussed and it was
suggested that they get the opinion of their neighbors before the
Commission would take any action. Mr. Claiborne moved that the
matter be referred back to the Perrys for them to contact their
neighbors and get their approval or disapproval , seconded by
Mr. Moore and carried.
Mr. Martin J. Graham presented a request for the City to sell him
that part of Main St. in Section "H" which lies between Lot 22
and Lot 22-A. He would like to build a Service Station but the
oil company would like an Atlantic Blvd. outlet, and he believes
it would help the traffic situation on that corner to have Main St.
closed. The matter was discussed at length and it was the consen-
sus of opinion that we should contact the State Road Department
and Expressway Authority and see about their future plans as af-
fecting this intersection, and that we should do nothing to com-
plicate the problem at this intersection. The City Attorney
Minutes 8-22-60, Page #2
advised that the City could not sell the street, but could only
abandon same, in which case it would revert to the F_-operty owners
on either side. The matter was referred to the City Manager to
contact the State Road Department for their future plans for this
corner, and try and have the information for the next meeting.
A request was presented from Estelle H. Singleton, Owner of Single-
ton's
ingle-
tons Trailer Park making application for water and sewage for the
trailer park. The City Manager advised that they had a permit for
septic tank installation for this trailer park for just until the
City had sewer lines available, and that we would need Engineer 's
plans and specifications for service to this area. Dr. Whitehurst
moved that the City Manager be directed to proceed with having the
plans and specifications drawn up by our Engineer for serving this
area, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried.
Joe Reinertson of Jacksonville ' s Estimate #2 on the Lift Station fit
and Force Mains, covering 90% of the job completed, in the amount
of $7 , 920.00 was presented for payment. The estimate has been ap-
proved by our Engineer, Mr. Parks , and the City Manager recommends
that it be paid. Mr. Moore moved that this Estimate #2 in the a-
mount of $7 , 920.00 be paid, seconded by Dr. Whitehurst and carried.
Mr. Waggoner presented a list of buildings- residences and business-
not yet connected to the Sewer System and requested inst-:uctions as
to carrying out the provisions of the Sewer Ordinance. Mr. Moore
advised that if it works a hardship or have any good reason that
they should be considered before any action is taken to cut off the
water. It was the consensus of opinion that a letter be written
those not connected and that they should communicate in writing stat-
ing their reason for not connecting and that these communications
be presented at the next meeting for the Commission's consideration.
Mr. Waggoner requested that some action be taken on the City Park
so that we can advise those that have accepted our offer one way
' or the other. It was felt that no action should be taken unless
there was a 100% attendance of Commissioners present, so the matter
was deferred to the next meeting, and the City Clerk was directed
to advise all Commissioners before the next meeting on September
12th, that the matter would be considered for definite action then.
A request has been received from Mr. Harry Warnock, 161 16th St.
which is located on the north side of 16th St just outside the City
Limits, for garbage collection. It was brought out that our truck
passes right by there every day and would cause no extra time or
expense to make this collection. Mr. Moore moved that we pick up
the above at 12 times the City rate for such pick-ups, seconded by
Mr. Claiborne and the vote was:

district. The matter was discussed whereupon Dr. Whitehurst moved
that said Resolution be adopted, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried.

part thereof.
The Mayor presented Ordinance #90-60-9 in writing covering re-Zoning
of Lots 25 through 45, Section "H" and two 100 foot parcels of
land on east side of Mayport Road, and read same in full. The
Commission then went into session for Public Hearing on said Ordi-
nance. Certified copy of Proof of Publication of Notice of said
Public Hearing is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof.
Mr. Cornell advised that he is using his property in a minor degree
as a contractor ' s yard, but that he does not object to the property
being re-zoned to Business "A". It was brought out that any perma-
nent usage might be continued as a non-conforming use, but tempora-
rary usage would not. The matter was further discussed following
which Mr. Moore moved that the Ordinance be adopted on second and
final reading, seconded by Dr. Whitehurst and the vote was
