NEW BUSINESS
A. Request for Use By Exception for Fred W. Mills; Lots 1,2 F1 3,
Block 4, Donner's Replat, Currently zoned CG. (Grandfathered) .
Mr. Fred Mills told the board that he was requesting a blanket
Use By Exception on the property. When he purchased it, he purchased
it for the zoning and then after it was developed the city came in and
• rezoned it. He had purchased the property and was planning on it being
his source of income for retirement. The Board expressed concern over
issuing a blanket Use By Exception because of the lack of control over
tenants renting the property. Mr. Fellows pointed out that the Board
would only be allowing Mr. Mills to rent to tenants that were allowed
as permitted uses or Uses By Exception and no others. Mr. Mills agreed
that all Use By Exceptions would be allowed except for item number
four (4) On premise consumption of liquor, beer and wine. Guy
Jennings motioned that the Use By Exception be granted, Candace Nordan
seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
B. Request for Use By Exception for Charles W. Crum; Lots 1 $ 2, Block 25,
Section H, Currently zoned CG. (Grandfathered) .
The Board asked Mr. Crum and his tenant is there were any problems
between themselves and their neighbors. They stated that their only
problem was over the neighbors dumping garbage in their dumpster and
they were known to have one of the best records of any of the beer

bars on Mayport Road. Gregg McCaulie motioned to approve the

Three of the five members present voted for the motion, Guy
Jennings voted against . The motion passed by a majority.
C. Request for Use By Exception by Farin and Edith Kahoe; 1075 Atlantic
Blvd. , Atlantic Beach, Currently zoned CG. (Grandfathered) .
The chairman addressed the fact that the Board needs to look into
the problem of work being performed outside of the garages,
• fencing, storage of materials, junked cars and a number of other
items to be discussed at a later date. These items are not
necessarily pertaining to this one garage but to auto service
garages in general. There being no discussion on the request
Ruth Gregg motioned to approve the Kahoes' request for Use By
Exception, Gregg McCaulie seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
MISCELLANEOUS
D. Chairman McCaulie presented a copy of the committee minutes of
March 31, 1986 for the Boards information and asked for a motion
to create a ordinance for the creation of a Special Use District
for a junk yard for blocks 111,117,118, 119,139,140,141,142,143.
Chairman McCaulie and Mr. Fellows briefed the Board about the
situation with the Dagley's junk yard and the current actions
by the City. It has been proposed that the Dagley's would deed
over block 110 to the City in exchange for closing Begonia Street
from West Sixth Street south to the marsh and Tulip Street north
from West Sixth Street to the Marsh. Mr, Dagley would also
agree to restrict operations to property that he currently owns
including blocks 111, 119, 118 and 117, Block 139, 140, 142 and
143. He is also conducting business on block 141 but that property
is being leased from another individual . Part of the proposal would
have the Dagley's remove all cars from lots 5 $ 6 in block 162 and
restrict all future activity to properties now currently owned by
• Mr. Dagley. The owner of Block 141 would have to apply for a
Special Use Exception as a separate piece of property. All of this
would be done as well as creating a Special Use District and by
granting the Dagley's a Use By Exception for this district. The
City Commission referred this proposal to the Advisory Planning
Board for their input and comments. The Board was concerned with
the visual effects of having a junk yard in section H and the fact
that there was a master plan being worked up that would hopefully
create a very nice future development in that area. The suggestion
was made that a buffer fence be placed around the property. Gregg
McCaulie made a motion that would have the city attorney create a
one time only Special Use District for the purpose of accomplishing
the intent expressed in the meeting of the committee appointed by
the Mayor. Ruth Gregg seconded the motion. Candace Nordan
requested an amendment to the motion requiring an opaque buffering
fence, Guy Jenning asked about the legality of the operation by
the Dagley's. Mr. Fellows stated that a determination had never
been made but that the City felt it would be too costly to find out

and therefore the proposal to settle as stated above. Guy Jennings
asked for an amendment to the motion saying that if any portion is
changed then the whole special exemption would be lost. Gregg
McCaulie asked for the vote on the motion. There being no objections
the motion passed unanimously.
E. Hilary Thompson presented the final plat approval from the City
Commission on the Ocean Walk project for the Boards approval .
Taking into account that the City Commission has already reviewed
• the plans and that the plans are in accordance with everything
the Board had previously approved and recommended, Gregg McCaulie
motioned to approve the plat as presented, Guy Jennings seconded
the motion. Guy Jennings asked about the responsibility of the
maintenance of the lake in the subdivision. Mr. Fellows stated
that it would be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association.
A question about the breakout of property taxes and fire and
police protection also came up. Property taxes will probably
be broken out on a prorata share by the tax collectors office.
There was no immediate answer to the question on police and fire
protection. Hearing no further discussion Chairman McCaulie
called for the vote and there being no objections the motion
passed unanimously.
F. Ruth Gregg brought up the question of missing house numbers. There
are several houses with missing numbers and in case of an emergency
has caused problems. The City Manager stated that he would take
up the question with the Building Department.
