D. APPLICATION FOR USE BY EXCEPTION TO ALLOW EXPANSION OF THE

ATLANTIC BEACH MINI STORAGE, INC.
Robert Persons, attorney for the applicants, stated that they
were asking the Board to recommend a zoning change to CG and
approval of an exception to allow expansion of the existing
facility. He stated that there would be virtually no impact on
traffic, that it is a low profile, quiet operation, and that this
would be the highest and best use for the land.
Russ Kahoe, 1075 Atlantic Boulevard, expressed his concern over a
possible drainage problem with the increase in lot coverage.
The Board was in receipt of a letter of opposition from Marcus
Prom, an owner of property in the vicinity.
There being no further discussion Mr. Howie motioned to recommend

LOT 3, SECTION 17, TOWNSHIP 2 SOUTH, RANGE 29 EAST, ON THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CHURCH ROAD AND GEORGE STREET, BY JOSEPH
GASKIN (OWNER-MABRY).
Joe Gaskin, 4160 Stacey Road, Jacksonville, introduced his
partner, Jim Royce. They gave a brief video presentation that
showed the subject property and the surrounding properties. They
felt ILW would be compatible with the surrounding uses; Open
Rural accross the street (Jacksonville), and industrial uses in
the general area. They felt the City would receive complaints
regarding the lighted park if the property was developed
residentially.
Sam Waters stated that he is developing twenty duplex lots and
that he objected to the change in zoning to ILW. He sited the
existing traffic problems in the area. The applicants felt there
would be less traffic generated as a result of industrial uses
than would be from residential uses.
After further discussion the Board addressed the findings of
fact. Mr. MacDonell felt the application constituted spot
zoning; that the property is surrounded on three sides by
• • 1
residential zoning and the closest industrial zoning is 150'
away.
Mr. Bass motioned to recommend denial of the application.
Chairman McCaulie seconded the motion. The applicants asked for
time to discuss their options. After private discussion, the
applicants asked the Board to vote on the motion. The motion to
recommend denial of the application for rezoning carried 5 to 1,
