NO. I; 825 PLAZA
Mr. Gipson stated that he has been self-employed for the past 10
years and that he once had a license to operate from his home but
that he allowed it to expire in 1983. He added that there would
be no storage of equipment, paint or repair supplies and that
the only advertising would be through the mail.
There being no objections, Mr. Bass motioned to recommend
approval of the application. Mr. Tappin seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
B. APPLICATION FOR SEPTIC TANK VARIANCE - LAWRENCE ROSS;
153 LEVY ROAD
Mr. Ross stated that his property is 450' from Levy Road and that
the Public Works Director determined that due to the minimum rise
and fall required, connection was unfeasible. He added that he
was connecting to City water and agreed to connect to City sewer
when it became more practical.
Ruth Gregg motioned to recommend approval in Mr. Ross' name,
provided that he connect with sewer when it becomes available.

Donald Tappin seconded the motion. The motion carried 5 to 1.
Mr. Howie voted NO.
D. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 90-88-143 AMENDING COMMERCIAL
LIMITED ZONING
Mr. Mullis gave a brief history to the creation of the ordinance
which adds permitted uses of CG to CL as exceptions. (The Board
had previously denied an application to rezone from CL to CG and
an application for use by exception for auto servicing for a
Goodyear Tire Company at the M&L Center. )
Mr. Mullis thought that the City Commission felt that adding the
CG uses to CL as exceptions was desirable because of the ability
to set limitations and restrictions without opening the door to
all CG uses.
After discussion Ruth Gregg motioned to recommend the approval of
the application. Mr. Howie seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.
E. RECONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR USE BY EXCEPTION - FRED
LEWIS; PART OF TRACT A, ROYAL PALMS, UNIT ONE; 1487 MAYPORT

After a brief discussion Kathleen Russell motioned to recommmend
approval of the application with the conditions set forth in the
minutes of the City Commission meeting of June 27, 1988. Ruth
Gregg seconded the motion which carried unanimously.

representatives of the North Duval Beaches Association and the
Selva Norte Home Owner 's Association, expressed concern over the
Selva Marina Drive entrance. Suggestions were made to limit
traffic through the Selva Marina Drive gate to emergency vehicles
and bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
