ATTACHMENT A
July 27, 2020 Minutes
My purpose for writing this letter is to give the members of this board some Insite
Into what is going on with the Codes Enforcement Division of Atlantic Beach. It
would seem they pick and choose what is right and what is wrong and who
should have to abide by the rules and who does not have to abide by the rules,
I had a meeting on June 16, 2020 with the Code Enforcement Committee
regarding a variance I filed on an 8 foot fence I installed in my backyard due the
disgusting yard that is behind me I have enclosed pictures I told the
Committee I installed the fence for privacy reasons and because no one would
want to took at a disgusting yard like the one behind with gutters, etc sticking 9
feet in the air, rats coming into my yard and a house painted 5 different colors
with a clothes line between the trees.
While I realize that the 8 foot fence is not normal I do believe that I a justified in
having it. I could never sell my house if someone saw what I have had to look
at. I nought In this neighborhood because I was told it was up and coming, but
that Is not true The Code Enforcement has done nothing about the dumps that
still exist in this area. The yard behind me has been this way since I bought the
house In 2014 Code Enforcement tells me they cannot do anything about junk
that cannot be seen above the fence. I know there is a properly maintenance
code as I have read it and they have been given pictures so that should be
enough
On top of that they denied my fence and told me I had to take it down to 6 feet.
Now my neighbor has a 6 foot fence with two feet of lattice work on top so I
asked if I could add that to put vines on it so I could block out the property
behind me, yet 1 was told no. So explain to me how It is okay for him to have the
lattice fence but not me and yes it can be seen from the road as It abuts my
property in the front
No on ever showed to the meeting to fight my fence yet they denied it anyway I
also brought letters from neighbors stating that they have no issue with the fence
that nay yard is gorgeous and i have increased their property values i gave them
to the Committee they put them down and never read any of them,
Pour of my neighbors carne over this week and told me they called about the
meeting and asked if they could come and were told if they were arguing the
fence being installed yes but if not no. My neighbors said they are all for leaving
the fence up so they told them they could not come to the meeting. I ask you
where is the justice there. Neighbors were 325 royal Palms Drive and 738
Vecuna Load.
My neighbors who wrote the favorable letters were at 320 Royal Palms Drive,
736 Vecuna Goad and 326 Royal palms Drive.
So I put In a request to replace my fence in the front yard before all this
happened The fence has been up since 2014 and they denied the request
stating I could not put up 6 feet in the front yard As you look at my house on the
right side the fence has always been 6 feet since i bought the house On the left
side a portion was 4 feet but in 20161 raised that section to 6 feet because I felt
threatened by my neighbors who are renters They mouth off referring to me as a
whittle and they congregate in the yards (6 - a of them at a time) The police
have been called by several neighbors but it continues so no I dont feel safe.
My point to all of this is that I have seen 8'foot fences throughout Atlantic Beach
and the lattice work fence has been up next door to me since 2013 so why if he
can do it why cant I and no one has made him remove It.
As I stated earlier there Is no uniformity at all for they do what they do or reject

requests. July 27, 2020 Minutes
It Is so bad that my neighbors are moving because of this issue because new
peopled coming In cannot do anything to Improve these properties and it takes
forever to get any approvals.
I see my neighbor who has had a tarp on her house for two years on Vacuna
Road and nothing has been done. 742 Vecuna is a total dump yard and nothing
has been done, house on the corner or Royal Palms and Triton Road yard is a
total dump and nothing has been done and then there is the house on Royal
Palms Driver with the entire back yard Oiled With tents up and 8 cars in the yard.
All of these issues are overlooked
I have Improved my property and spent a great deal of money on it and they
continue to deny, deny. While I realize an 8 toot fence is not the norm (but I have
seen many of them around here) my reason for doing it seems justified.
I ask that perhaps I might get some assistance With this so I can just live a quiet
lire and continue on If not, I will probably sell my house as well because I cannot
live in filth and look at it everyday.
I told Code Enforcement I have no problem taking the back fence down to 6 feet
if I can put up the lattice but I do have a problem taking down at 6 foot fence that
was here when I moved in and noting has been said about it for 6 years and now
they are noticing it I rnean really
As far as taking the smell section to 4 feet in the front yard I really would not feel
safe as then they can look right into my yard and I live alone plus there are
banana trees that really block the fence That fence has also been up since 2016
and they are just noticing It now.
Again, I ask where Is the justice in this when this part of town is filled with
problems that they are not addressing. My neighbors have not complained at all
the fence, If they have of read the letters I brought with me Instead of discarding
them as not important perhaps they would have seen this.
I 8rn asking for your assistance on some level to help me.
Thank you for your time I appreciate it,
Ju"j
OL ("140EY-
I am sending photos to follow of the back yard that tacks up to my property
where I installed the 8 Foot fence

Public Hearing,.iuly 27, 2020 at 6:30 PM
Request for a waiver to allow an existing nonconforming lot, by changing the frontage with from 72.60
foot X 600 feet in depth into a frontage of 60 foot X 300 foot depth.
I. 1 AM AGAINST ANY WAIVER BEING GRANTED TO FURTHER CHANGING AN ALL READY
NONCONFORMING LOT IN TO AN EVEN MORE CHOPPED UP NONCONFORMING TWO LOTS.
2. History of required minimum lot sizes In Atlantic Beach has been worked on by many past
commissions and one of the main reasons was to support the all strained Storm Water runoff system in
our City. By granting a waiver would in fact allow the owner of the existing nonconforming lot to sell the
2"d lot and allow for construction of a house on said 2°' lot, This therefore will add stress to an already
nonconforming lot and storm water runoff into a restrictive area where storm water collects and pools
Into multiple pools which become standing water mosquito breeding ponds. These breeding ponds
infest the surrounding properties for hundreds of yards with continuous mosquito infestation year
round.
3. This Is self-serving and not caring about the impact on the surrounding neighbors.
4. 1 respectfully request that the City Commission NOT approve this Waiver request now and ever In the
future, for the above stated reasons.

Please read these comments during the commission meeting and enter them into the meeting record reference WAIV20-
0061.
All properties In the area are zoned single fat -oily. This property was so zoned when purchased.
Property is currently a nort-coriforming property. The waiver would make this property even more non -conforming, and
create an additional non -conforming property.
Approval of the waiver would set a precedent for the owners of the properties a 2434 and 2428 Seminole Rd to request
and expect to receive approval of the commission to sub -divide their similarly positioned properties. This may not be the
Intent of the current owners, but who is to say what the intent of future owners may be. That increased density in this
restricted access area Would be undesirable,
*Safety issues. The subject property Is the last property at the north end of Seminole Rd. adjacent to the Fianna Park
fence. It appears the only emergency access to the proposed newly formed lot would be the 12 foot wide easement that
would be carved out of the current 72 foot frontage on Seminole Rd. Emergency vehicles Would have a very difficult time
accessing the proposed new non -conforming lot, and maneuvering equipment once on the property. Additionally, the
added traffic created by the formation of more lots at the dead end of Seminole is undesirable, Each of these issues Is a
safety concern.
We respectfully request that the waiver be denied,
Doti and Nancy Chao
