expressed that he had no objections to the rezoning and suggested that
Cornell Lane be extended to make a thru street to help with traffic flow.
Mr. Bonhotel also spoke in favor of the rezoning. There was considerable
discussion over the density of the development and problems with ingress
and egress because of the location. Guy Jennings made a motion to approve
the rezoning with the following stipulations: 1) Board recommends that
in exchange for the increase in density Mr. Prom limit all units- to two
(2) bedrooms. 2) Minimum unit size to be no less than 1,000 sq.ft. and

D. Public Hearing on proposed Special Use District for blocks 111,117,118,
119,139,140,141,142 and 143.
Mr. Fellows addressed the Board and informed them that block 112 and 113
should be added to the Special Use District description. Mr. Dagley told
the Board that this was the first time he had been informed of several of
the items in the ordinance, He was in total objection to the fact that he
would not be able to sell a single piece of land without losing the whole
Special Use District Exception. Mrs. Nordan recommended that the wording
be changed to reflect that only that piece of property being sold would
lose the exception. Mr. Dagley also told the Board that it was impractical
and toocostly to have to install fencing arould all properties involved,
Guy Jennings made a motion approve the Special Use District with the
following changes: 1) Section D, item 1 should include blocks 112 and 113.
2) eliminate section G, item 1, Section G, item 2 should become item 1
and changed to read; If any lot or parcel within the blocks herein
referred, cease to be used for the purposes specified herein, then and in
that case that particular lot or parcel shall not again be allowed the
Special Use Exception and the autos, boats, parts, etc. removed at the owner's
expense within six months after receiving written notice from the City of
Atlantic Beach. Ron Gray seconded the motion. All members present voted
in favor of the motion except Candace Nordan who was opposed,
MISCELLANEOUS

development in the ILW district off of Stewart Street and Mealy Road. Tim
Shea and Bill Gellatly presented the project to the Board. They are proposing
the install water and sewer and pave roadways. Parcels would be sold in
one (1) acre lots. The Board expressed concern over ingress and egress to
the area. At present access would have to be from Levy Road to Main Street

constructed in the 60 foot right of way that belongs to the public and
that would give direct access from Levy Road to the lower cul-de-sac at
the south end of the project, Guy Jenning made a motion to recommend the
Advisory Planning Board
