To The Mayor and Town Council
of Atlantic Beach, Florida.
Atlantic Beach Holding Company hereby requests that
the plat of Selva Marina, as recorded in Plat Book 12, page
64 of the Public Records of Duval County, Florida, be vacated
by resolution of the Town Council of Atlantic Beach.
This plat covers a tract of land containing 50 acres,
or thereabouts. In 1925 the property was sold to Mr. Louis
I� Bucholtz. He thereupon transferred the same to the Selva
Marina Corporation and filed a plat thereof containing about
248 lots. None of the lots contained in the subdivision have
ever been soic, and default having been made in payment of the
mortgage, the property was taken back by the original owners.
�
.� In the Town of Atlantic Beach this property has always
` been taxed as acreage, but since the filing of the plat
it has been taxed as separate lots for State and County taxes.
None of the streets shown on the plat have ever
been opened or in any manner improved, but since the plat was
filed the owners have conveyed to the County Authorities,
for park purposes, a strip of land. 100 feet wide on the west
and a strip of land 30 feet wide on the north. The strip of
land on the west practically widens out Sherry Drive as shown
on the plat and renders valueless a large number of lots shown
on the plat. The strip on the north takes the place of Sixteenth
Street and renders valueless all the lots shown on the plat
north of Sixteenth. Street.
The owners have now paid all taxes of the State and
County and of the Town of Atlantic Beach on this property,
and are about to make application to the County Commissioners
of Duval County for a vacation of the plat .
The law under which the application will be made to
the County Commissioners requires that the plat be first vacated
by resolution of the Authorities of the Town in which the
property is situated .
By the vacation of this plat the Town of Atlantic
Beach will lose nothing in the way of taxes, because the
property will continue to be taxed as acreage just as it is
taxed at the present time.
Respectfully yours,
Dated April 6, 1936.
