East Coast Drive (Litsky)aahh... Mr. Winfree's property. I am very familiar with this property. It is in fact zoned RG-2, which is a multi-family zoning, but the reconfigured parcel is large enough only for
one single-family residence. (The RS-2 district requirements will apply to the "new" lot.) Possibly the correspondence I have written on Mr. Winfree's two lots will be helpful to you.
Mr. Winfree was permitted to reconfigure his existing two lots, subject to the conditions as set forth within the attached letter.

Mr. Litsky -
Lot 676 does not match any of the Lot and Block numbers on East Coast Drive.
Do you have a legal description that provides a Lot, and Block number, or a
Property Appraiser's RE number so that I can precisely identify the location
of the property. Most all of East Coast Drive is RS-2; however, the section
between 16th Street extending two parcels south of 11th Street is RS-1. If
the parcel is a legal Lot of Record, -- and not an illegally divided piece
of land -- it may be used for a single-family residence subject to all land
development regulations and permitting requirements. If there is an
existing garage on the parcel, which is a nonconforming structure (and most
are), it can be maintained and repaired, but if you demolish it or add on to
it, all new construction would be required to meet setbacks.
I cannot calculate how large a home could be constructed upon the lot. (You
will need to contact a builder or architect for that purpose.)
Based upon the dimensions you have provided, this is apparently an unusually
shaped parcel, but large enough to construct to the
35-foot height limit. A 50% impervious surface limit would apply to
development of the lot. I have attached the RS-2 and RS-1 District
regulations.

Address: Lot 676 (tbd) East Coast Drive Atlantic Beach

Thank you for your assistance. Prior to completing the purchase i wanted to
verify a few things.
1. Is unclear if it is zoned Rs1 or Rs2. I also need to verify that the
lot meets the requirements for being pre-existing and can be used for a
single family home without needing a variance.
2. There is a pre-existing garage area on the lot. Are there any zoning
issues to be concerned about. It is my plan to clear the land or use it as
part of a new structure.
3. According to your calculations, what is the largest home on that land
that would be allowed. I am also considering a 3 story single family in the
plans.
Thank you, I may be reached at 535-8504 or my office 725-5000
