RE: Lots 316 and 305, Saltair, Section
Three, PB 10, P16, CPR, Duval
County, Florida
Gentlemen:
This is to advise the above captioned properties were
appraised by the undersigned as of December 8 , 1988 in
the amount of $30,000 for Lot 316 and $34,000 for Lot
305.
As noted on the appraisal report, the location of Lot
316 is considered inferior to Lot 305 due to its
proximity to the entrance of the city park at the end
of Pine Street. It would appear that persons utilizing
the park would park their vehicles in the immediate
area, thereby, causing congestion and a high foot
traffic count of pedestrians in the immediate area.
Lot 305 is located on Magnolia Street, which is a one-
way street located west and adjacent to Lot 316 .
It should be noted, both Lots 305 and 316 are
considered low in terms of topography and would require
extensive fill if a building permit could be obtained
on each lot.
It is the reason for the proximity to the entrance of
the city park that Lot 316 was allocated a lower lot
value than Lot 305. It should be noted, there are very
few recent sales in the Saltair Subdivision. For this
reason, the sales search was extended in both time and
distance in an effort to utilize the most comparable
sales in the Atlantic Beach area. The Saltair
Subdivision experienced a rapid growth several years
ago, thereby, reducing the number of available lots
which could be utilized for construction of a new
single family dwelling or duplex.
