A. APPLICATION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD REZONING FROM RG2 TO RG1 : LOTS
41-60, NORTH ATLANTIC BEACH UNIT 2.
Chairman McCaulie asked for comments from the audience on the
application for rezoning.
The following residents spoke in favor of downzoning: Dr. Don
Smith, Lot 41; Jim Pelkey, 1887 Beach Avenue; Dezmond Waters,
1835 Seminole Road. They cited the possibility of apartments or
condominiums being built and the current high volume of traffic.
They felt the area should be brought into conformance with the
areas to the north and to the south which are zoning single
family.
Dylan Morgan spoke against the rezoning and suggested that it
would cause several non-conformities in the area. He addressed
the suggestion that down zoning would relieve traffic by stating
that the high volume of traffic was due to the beach access and
not related to the zoning. William Morgan suggested that the
higher zoning between 18th and 19th Streets was intentional and
that it should not be brought into conformance with the single

C. APPLICATION FOR SEPTIC TANK VARIANCE: 60 W. 9TH STREET,
LOT 7 BLOCK 39: STEPHEN H. MABRY.
Stephen Mabry explained that he and his wife planned to open a
business on the lot and that public sewer facilities were not
presently available. He added that he would plumb the building
for easy connection to the sewer line and agreed to tie-in when
it was available.
No one spoke against the request. Mr. MacDonell motioned to
recommend approval with the stipulation that Mr. Mabry tie-into
public sewer when it became available. Mr. Bass seconded the
motion which carried unanimously.
D. APPLICATION FOR WALL HEIGHT VARIANCE; 2109 BEACH AVENUE,
LOT 80, NORTH ATLANTIC BEACH, UNIT 3: DENNIS AND JEANETTE
BERGER.
Architect, Gerard Vermey stated that he had designed the Berger
house and that the wall had been designed to give privacy from
the adjacent public beach access. He stated that he and the
Bergers had been given construction plans from the city's
engineers, Connelly and Wicker, which indicated the dune walk
over to be elevated to 21. 23'and that they had built the wall
with this in mind (to be six feet higher than the dune walk
over) . However, before construction began on the walkover, the
dune was removed by a property owner to the south. There being
no reason to keep the walk over elevated, it was constructed at
ground level.
Mark Kredell stated that he also owns property that abutts a
public beach access and felt the variance should be granted. No
one else spoke in favor or against the application.
Mr. Howie motioned to grant the variance. Mrs. Gregg seconded
the motion which carried unanimously.
E. APPLICATION FOR REAR YARD VARIANCE: 340 SAILFISH DRIVE EAST:
LOT 22, BLOCK 15, ROYAL PALM UNIT 2; RICHARD A. STENGEL.
Mr. Stengel explained that he had started construction on a tool
shed in his back yard, unaware of the need for a building permit
and that it had been built 3' too close to the property line. He
added that there was no other area he could have located the
building due to a gas line which runs through his property. He
presented the board with a letter of no objection from the
affected neighbor.
Mrs. Gregg asked if he planned to remove the other shed as only
one accessory building is permitted per lot. Mr. Stengel replied
that he had been informed by the city that he must remove the
other shed but that it was in good shape and didn't want to
remove it. The board members suggested possibly attaching the
two sheds to create one structure.
There being no further discussion Mr. Bass motioned to grant the
variance provided the two buildings be combined into one
structure. Mr. MacDonell seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.
F. APPLICATION FOR REAR YARD VARIANCE; 118 FOURTH STREET, LOT 6,
BLOCK 25, ATLANTIC BEACH: RANDALL C. BERG.
Mr. Berg was not present to discuss the application. Therefore,
Mrs. Gregg motioned to defer action on the application until Mr.
Berg could be present. Mrs. Russell seconded the motion. The
motion to defer action carried unanimously.
G. APPLICATION FOR USE BY EXCEPTION; 55 W. 8TH STREET, LOT 7,
BLOCK 38, SECTION H: JOHN BECKER.
Mr. Becker was not present to discuss the application. Mr. Alan
Wheeler, owner of the property, stated that Mr. Becker builds and
sells "rep-la-cars" ; that they are usually sold at auction for
starting price of $20, 000. He added that all work is performed
inside the building.
Several board members felt that Mr. Becker should be present to
explain his application. Mrs. Gregg motioned to defer the
application. Mr. MacDonell seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.

be accomplished within the framework of the Planned Unit

proposed ordinance was "unworkable". The other members were in
agreement and asked that the Community Development Director draw
