A. Lots 1 & 2, Block 70, Section H; 92 West 8th Street ; Request
for Rezoning from RG1 to CG and Request for Use by Exception for
a Cabinet Shop, by American Alloys & Refractories Company.
J. L. McCue, Jr. , 1701 Sixth Avenue North, Jacksonville Beach, of
Century 21 Realestate represented the owners in the requests.
Mr. McCue stated that under the previous commercial zoning a
40' x 70' steel warehouse-type building was erected on the site.
He stated that under the Comprehensive Plan the area was
"generally zoned and not walked" therefore zoning the warehouse
residential. He added that there is an electrician next door and
a body shop behind the property. Carl Grunewald approached the
Board and stated that he was purchasing the property contingent
upon the rezoning and use by exception. He stated that there
would be no Sunday or night time work and that they would run a
clean operation and would be landscaping and adding parking.
Ron Gray asked whether manufacturing of cabinets was permitted as
a use by exception in CG. The City Manager replied that, after
discussing it with the City Attorney, they felt it could be
classified under building materials and therefore, permitted.
Ruth Gregg motioned to recommend approval of the requests.
Candace Nordan seconded the motion which carried unanimously.

B. Request for Use by Exception, Lot 4, Block 9, Selva Marina
Unit 9, 1690 Selva Marina Drive, Ronald E. Warwick
Mr. Warwick stated that he wanted to use a "summer house" in the
rear of his home as his office. He stated that he is a
realestate broker and that all business is transacted by
telephone; there would be no clients at the house and
therefore, no traffic. The secretary informed the board of the
covenants and restrictions of Selva Marina Unit 5, which prohibit
business operations from accessory buildings but do permit
business operations from the main house. Mr. Warwick amended his
request to have his office in the main house.
Ruth Gregg motioned to recommend approval of the request.
Gregg McCaulie suggested that the motion include a condition
prohibiting customers and traffic. Ruth Gregg amended the
motion. Candace Nordan seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
A. Request for Use by Exception, 1089-91-95 Atlantic Boulevard,
Mike Ash ; Deferred from June 17, 1986
Allan Jensen, representing Mr. Ash, presented a current list of
the businesses in operation. He stated that numbers 7, 14 and 20;
welding repair service, manufacture of surfboard wax and
pocessing potatoe chips would have to remain grandfathered-in as
they were not permitted as uses by exception.
Ron Gray expressed concern that by granting each use by exception
to the entire property, Mitco Water Laboratories; storage of
chemicals, for example, could move into several units or the
entire building. Candace Nordan stated that on inspection of the
premises she saw a sign for GEO TEX, Inc. and that it was not on
the list of current businesses.
Ron Gray motioned to defer the request until the list could be
divided into those uses that are permitted, permitted by
exception, and grandfathered-in, and until the question of GEO
TEX, Inc. , could be answered. Gregg McCaulie seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
