Re: Proposed duplex at 330 First Street
Dear Ms. Sabot:
The Building and Zoning Departments have reviewed your initial application to convert your
existing single-family residence to a two-family (duplex) dwelling. The information you have
provided with the application form is not sufficient in order to issue permits. Florida Building
Codes require that each dwelling unit contain heating, a kitchen and a bathroom. Provision for
these facilities is not shown on your plans.
Additionally, City zoning regulations require each dwelling unit within a duplex to have a
minimum of 900 square feet of enclosed living area. (This is not a new requirement, and has
been in effect for many years.) Also, two parking spaces must be provided for each dwelling
unit (for a total of on-site driveway area to accommodate four cars.) Your revised plans must
show that all of the above requirements are met.
As you area aware, the duplex use is permitted in accordance with the terms of attached
ordinance 90-01-173. Building Permits must be issued and construction must commence within
a reasonable period of time.
You may contact me at 247-5817 or by e-mail at sdoerr@ci.atlantic-beach.fl.us with any
questions.
Sincerely,
Sonya Doerr, AICP
Community Development Director
