MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Mr. Moss advised the Board that the old zoning ordinance required 7500 squa_.
feet for residential lots. This was changed in the new ordinance to 5000 _re
feet. Mr. Moss stated that it might be advisable to change the requireme__
back to 7500 square feet so that new subdivisions coming in would not have
50 foot lots packed in. A general discussion then ensued regarding existin
lots and how they would be affected. Mr. Moss assured the Board that any
existing platted lots would not be affected. This requirement would only
pertain to parcels not divided up as yet. Mr. Moss told the Board that the:
did not need to make a decision now, but be advised that it would probably
be coming up at a future date.
There followed a discussion on the 322 acre parcel on Mayport Road under t= _
City of Jacksonville's jurisdiction that is up for rezoning for apartments.
Mr. Morris stated that the hearing on that rezoning was to take place the
following night at the City Hall in Jacksonville. He asked that Mr. Moss
attend the City Council meeting and represent the City of Atlantic Beach
in opposition to the project.

was none.
