block duplex from ' location close to the Mayport Naval Base
to Lot 12, Block 16 , Donner for Ralph Maxwell. He advised that
he has inspected the house and it meets our building require-
ments and that the Hygema Co. says it can be moved. The matter

tion anytime in the foreseeable future. Mr. Johansen moved that
the permit be granted, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried.
Minutes 11-13-61, Page #4
A request was received from a James U. Brandies who anticipates
buying Lot 1, Block 3, Donner and would : like permission if he
purchases to divide the lot into 3 lots. This division would
put it under the sub-division ordinance and in some instances
does not quite meet the requirements. Mr. Waggoner asked the
Commissions pleasure on this matter. Mr. Johansen suggested
that it be referred to ' the Commission meeting as a Committee
to study and recommend, and it was so decided.
Mr. Waggoner presented a re9.uest from Albert CampbellTto have
a little grocery store in his house at 2050 George St. We
have previously granted him a permit for another location.
It was felt we should see how his neighbors feel and study the
matter further and it too was referred to the Commission sit-
ting as a Zoning Committee.
Mr. Johansen presented Resolution #61-36 accepting certain
streets in Royal Palms sub-division as to paving, water and sew-
er lines, etc. and moved its adoption, seconded by Mr. Lawrence
and having been duly considered the Mayor put the question there-
on and the motion was carried. Copy of Resolution #61-36 is
attached to these minutes and made a part thereof.

from the City Manager covering the clearing of certain lots .
There was a discussion on lot cleaning following'which hr.
Johansen moved that Resolution #61-37 be adopted, seconded by
Mr. Claiborne and carried. Copy of Resolution #61-37 is attach-
ed to these minutes and made a part thereof.
Mayor Isaacs next asked the Commissioners if they had anything
to bring up. Mr. Moore advised that he had introduced an Ordi-
nance at the last meeting , which he had planned to re-intro-
duce at this meeting, but that he had been voted down by a maj-
ority of the Commission, that he would like• to use the word
"coerced" but would settle for "voted down" , and that he was
still in favor of the Ordinance.
There being no further business, Mayor Isaacs declared the
meeting adjourned.
