A motion tivas made by Mr. Burkhart, seconded by Mr. GrunetivaId, and
unanimously carried to approve the IYIinutes of the Community Development Board
of December 17, 2002, tivith the following amendment: S.a. add to end of paragraph:
"Mr. Burkhart signed Form 3B, Memorandum of Voting Conflict."
Commissioner Desmond Waters expressed interest that the Comprehensive Plan
indicated his support for keeping a minimum lot size of 75 feet by 100 feet. He stated
that he was concerned about density in Atlantic Beach.
Ms. Doerr stated that there is c urrently a conflict between subdivision regulations and
zoning district provisions. She explained that the zoning regulations refer to minimum
lot size of 5,000 square feet and subdivision regulations require all new lots to be a
minimum 7,500 square feet. She further explained that there are only two ways to have a
buildable lot less than 7,500 square feet: 1) a subdivision waiver, or 2) through a PUD.
Ms. Doerr explained that this issue could be addressed as part of amendments to the
subdivisions regulations, and that this process would begin in February.
