Recognition of visitors
Er. Roosevelt Cooper asked the status of his Church's request for a
light at Mayport Road and 35 Edgar St. Mayor Howell explained Mayport
Rd was a State Road and we had no control over it. The City of Atlantis
Beach had requested the Department of Transportation do a traffic study
for a proposed light. He suggested Mr. Cooper contact DOT for additional
information. •
Mrs. Kennedy asked about the stop signs on Main St. she requested on
February 12, 1987. She reported Mr. Braid, Director of Public Works,
had advised her the city had decided not to install the signs as no
one would use them. The Police Chief stated there were several speed
bumps there already, but he had recommended some traffic controls be
place there in the near future.
3. Public Hearing on proposed special assessment project for public
improvements in Section H for the purpose of receiving input as to
the propriety and advisability of undertaking such project, discussions
of the cost thereof, and manner of payment therefor, and on the amount
thereof to be assessed against each property so improved.
Mayor Howell introduced Mr. William Weathers, Financial Advisor from
Southeastern Bonds; Mr.Jerry Eckert, representing Bessent, Hammack and
Ruckman, Engineers on the project, and Mr. Bill Zvara from Livermore,
Klein and Lott, Bond Attorneys. He declared the Public Hearing open
and invited comments from the audience comprised of approximately 150
itizens. The following property owners commented:
Mr. Carl Smith, 1630 Main St. said he was told the projected assessment
was $39.95 per front foot. The assessment roll projected 200 foot
totaling $7,990.00, when he actually had only 100 foot frontage on Mair.

3. Public Hearing continued
Mr. Smith also asked if the homeowner would pay the same cost as Commerical
)roperty owners. Mayor Howell told Mr. Smith the value of the property
had nothing to do with the assessment, the assessment was strictly on the
front footage. After searching the rolls, Mr. Eckert advised Mr. Smith
the projected assessment for his property could be a typographical error,
but he would research. Mr. Smith will contact the Mayor for discussion.
Mr. Eckert explained to the audience some property owners that had acreage
(example - north of Levy Road to Church Road) would be assessed on "equi-
valent frontage (based on square footage)". The cost will probably be lass
than the projected figures. The actual assessed value would. e based on
actual construction costs and that could not be determin d''the project
was finally constructed. The accuracy of the roll was based on plan sheets
and scaled values. When they get into the field, there would be field
measured values and would vary by a foot or so. In some areas, there are
water and sewer lines. Therefor the contract cost would decrease.
Mr. Eckert was asked the question "for someone who has 100' on one side
of the street and 100' on the other side, would there be any difference
in their assessments, or would they pay $39.95 per front foot as all
others. He responded they would pay the same, $39.95 per front foot.
Ir. Alan Holston, 1225 Hibiscus St. assessment showed $5,995.00 for 100' .
Mr. Eckert advised that was a typographical error and should be $3,995.
Commissioner Gulliford noted there was concern that had not been addressed
relative to the cost at $39.95 per front foot, but "what if". He asked
the Bond Attorney, Mr. Zvara to comment. Mr. Zvara announced the purpose
of the Hearing was equalizing and adjusting the assessments the assess-
ments currently on the books. That was different from the total project
cost. The total project cost could not go up or down without holding a
new Public Hearing, or in the alternative, the city would have to cover
the excess cost from other financing sources.
Vicki Joe Kennedy, 371 Main St. complained the city should not have voted
to put liens on their property before they held the Public Hearing to
see if the people wanted the improvements. She commented only one person,
Mr. Fellows had been helpful in making her understand what was going on.
Ms. Kennedy wanted some of the 6G gas tax to go toward paying for the
improvements, as there were elderly people that could not pay, and said
the Mayor told her there would be no exceptions. Mayor Howell noted he
had never talked to her, and they still did not know the total price of
the project, and would not until they went to bid. The City was taking
the proper steps regulated by State Law.
Ms. Kennedy asked if the people who pioneered the land would be reimburs-
ed for building their own roads so they could live on their property
;ince the city had told them they had no money to build roads at that time.
she Mayor responded in the negative. She complained that the City of
Jacksonville Beach should be responsible for the damage they caused on
Main Street when the outfall line was installed. Mr. Braid had told her
Main St. would be put back into the prior condition by the contractor.

3. Public Hearing - continued
;ommissioner Gulliford commented at that point, relative to Ms. Kennedy's
comments. He had never refused to sit down and talk to any citizen at
home, after a meeting, or at work. The city was only attempting to im-
prove an area. There was no gain for anyone or the city. Other sections
of the community had been assessed when their improvements were made.
The city was looking at the proposed improvements as a possible solution
to the problems they were having in Section H. He asked the audience
to help solve problems and not be adversary about the proposed project.
Maurice Pelletier, 800 Jasmine, asked when and where the project will
start. He said his wife had been down to the axles on West 9th between
Hisbiscus and Stock and also on Main St. at West 6th St. He felt they
were also suffering from police protection from the bad roads. Mr.
Eckert reported they were looking at probably August or September to
take the plans to bid. They will allow 30-45 days upon notification
to the contractors to call for bids. Sometime in Oct. or November, '87
the contract could be awarded. It should take approximately 1 to 12
years for total construction time. As to what area they would start
in, he had no idea, part of that would be up to the contractor. If
there were areas of concern, the Engineers could point the contractor
'.n certain directions, with general limits. Mr. Pelletier asked what
ould be done within the next few months for the impassable areas.
Mayor Howell asked the City Manager to rent another road grader that
might give some relief. Mrs. Kennedy suggested the city hire an operator
to run the grader as the city employee that graded the roads recently
only pushed the sand in the ditches and helped to fill them up.
Mr. George Stansell, 1203 Begonia St. told the Commission he had written
a letter to Mr. Fellows a month ago asking if the City would consider
bringing the improvements one block west of the proposed lines to
furnish water and sewer to them. Mayor Howell told Mr. Stansell the
letter had been given to the Engineers for consideration. He reminded
Mr. Stansell that both sides of the street would be assessed.
Mrs. Bratcher, 1425 Main St. ,owner of Blks 244 and 245, lots 1,2, and 3
of each block said her assessment was 300'for a total of $11,984.00. She
was told the assessment was correct as she had 140'on Stock St. and 160'
on Main, a total of six lots.
Mr. Ira Bratcher, 60 West 10th St. , owns both sides of the street and
objected to being charged for both sides as he could not afford to pay
$80.00 per ft. He had developed many subdivisions for a lot less money.
ie said it did not cost as much to dig a 3' to 4' ditch as it would a
12' to 20' ditch and felt the entire project cost should be divided
up for each front foot. If you were on the shallow end of the system
you should pay less than a person that has the same frontage but
tappened to be in a location that required a deep ditch. Mr. Eckert
cold Mr. Bratcher the only equitable way was to take the total cost
and divide it by the total frontage. Everyone was getting the same
service and should pay the same cost.

Public Hearing - continued
Mr. Bratcher informed the Commission of the need for stop signs in the
area of Orchid, Main and 10th Streets. The City Manager promised to put
stop signs on 11th when Mr. Bratcher opened the street he had built,
but there were no signs as yet. The school bus loads and unloads at the
end of the street and it was very dangerous. One car turned over while
burning rubber on Orchid. Mr. Bratcher called the Police Dept. but no
one came. He cited another example of some fellows that tore up his
garden while speeding on Saturday, and he called for help. While wait-
ing for the police, he chastised the young fellows for tearing up his
garden. When the policeman arrived it was raining and he remained in
his car. He told Mr. Bratcher to "just shut your mouth, I don't give
a damn". Mayor Howell asked Mr. Bratcher for the policeman's name, and
he would personally take the remarks up with the Police Chief the next
morning.
Mr. Bud Miller, Hisbiscus St. ,owner of Lots 229 and 230 advised he had
already paid for and installed a 2" water line for his two blocks. He
asked if they had to install a larger line would he have to pay. Mayor
Howell advised Mr. Miller if he had already paid for a water line, some
adjustment should be made. The city was aware there were some lines
in certain areas, but he did not know what type of adjustment would be
made at the present time. Mr. Miller asked if they had to hook up to
he sewer system immediately or could they wait until they had septic
tank problems to hook up. Mayor Howell responded the law stated when
sewer was available you must hook up, but he was of the opinion where
people had working septic tanks, the city should not force them to
hook up. When a septic tank is no longer in working order, they cannot
be repaired.
Cindy Voutour, 570 Orchid St. did not want to hook up as she had good
good water in her well, and did not want to pay $17.00 mo.for water
she didn't need. Mayor Howell told her the city would work with the
people in every possible way. Personally, he felt if people had working
wells and septic tanks, he wanted to let them alone until such time as
they needed it. Everyone would still be assessed even if they did not
hook up when the lines were available. Ms. Voutour asked at what point
the property owners would be assessed, and Mr. Mullis responded it would
be payable over a certain number of years. The revenues to pay off the
bonds from the water and sewer system were not pledged as security for
those. That gave the Commission the latitude and flexibility when the
bids do come in, of trying to work out a fair and equitable payment.
Mayor Howell added to Mr. Mullis' comments, all of the gas tax was
being pledged to pay the bonds.
4r. Mullis pointed out the purpose of the meeting that night was to hear
input such as the above mentioned speakers as to the fairness and equi-
table proration of cost of improvements, and actual cost would be de-
ermined after bids for construction cost had been received. No one would
_lave an assessment on their property until construction was completed.
The city realized some elderly people living on a homestead couldn't pay,
and they were attempting to work something out with them also.

Public Hearing-continued
:n response to Ms.Votura's question on how they would be assessed, Mr.
Zvara told her they had a choice for payments:
Pay the total at once, or pay over a time.
Part of the meeting that night was to offer the ability to collect
the same way as property taxes. If you had a standard first
mortgage, it probably would be in an escrow type of account with their
bank.
He did not think there was a mandatory water hook-up requirement.
The structure provided payments could be over eighteen (18) annual
installments. The annual installments do not start until the project
is finished, which would probably be two years down the road.
The interest rate would be 1% over the bond interest rate to comply
with State Law. Unknown at the present time. The day the bonds are
sold, the city could give the specific interest. The estimated rate
for the projection was 7.40%, however rates have decreased.
'he question was asked what would happen if the bids came in at $51.00
per front foot. Commissioner Gulliford responded until the bid was award-
ed nothing was irreversible. Another Public Hearing would be held and the
public would have the right to voice their opinions. The City could go
back to square one or absolve the extra cost.
Discussion was held on the possibility of holding a referendum and let
the people vote on the issue. They were told it would have to be city
wide. No objections.
Mr. 0.C. McBride, 1285 Camellia St. bought his lot 18 months ago. He was
told at that time he could put a well down. He talked to the man that ran
a water line down the street and he would let you hook up. Mr. McBride
would have to pay the man his price to run the line. He went to the city
and they told him he couldn't do that. If the water line was put in it
became city property. Everyone told him something different and he ended
up putting in a 2" line to serve only himself. Now he would have to pay
more to put in the larger line.
The question was asked if the property owners would have the option as to
which side of their property would be torn up when they hooked up to the
:ity system. Mr. Eckert said existing conditions would be taken into
account. He didn't want people to have to cross their paved driveways.
Mr. George Stansell, Main St. told the Commission and audience if the
>roject did not go through as planned, the entire subdivision of Section
d would go down rapidly.
Carolyn Sigmund, 439 W. 9th, complained trucks were continually tearing
up the streets. The situation needed to be corrected now, not next year.

Public Hearing continued
1r. Ralph Floyd asked the amount to be charged for a house on an acre of
land. The Mayor stated the charge would be by the front foot.
Mr. Douglas Wilson, 1020 Main St. asked if the assessment covered hookup
charges to the house. He was told the assessment would cover everything
but his hookup.
Mr. Donald Dagley, owner of Blk 122 on Camellia St. , asked if you could
be exempted from assessments as the end of his land ran into the swamp.
He asked if they planned to pave Camellia St. Mr. Eckert said the street
was platted and would have to be secured in order to construct the street.
There would be no exemptions if the streets were paved.
Mrs. Ruth Bratcher, 790 Mayport Rd. ; owner of property at 1970 Park St. ;
Shirley Taylor, 9th and Camellia, and Hattie Mae Read, 50 Dudley, all
complained about the present roads and the city not cleaning out the ditches.
Hattie Mae asked for a street light as it was very dark. Mayor Howell told
her approximately 27 lights had been ordered to go in that area.
Mr. Leon Beasley, 365 W. 3rd St. did not want the improvements. If they
-Paved his street it would be a speed trap.
Mr. Val Wilcox, 750 W. 14th asked the maximum amount they would be charged.
He was told the charge could not exceed $39.95 per front foot without
another Public Hearing. Mr. Eckert stated he was making every attempt
possible to estimate on the high side to make sure they would not have
any surprises. Hopefully, the final numbers would be less than $39.95.
The Pastor of the Community Baptist Church, 84 Lewis St. asked for a street
light for their church.
Mr. Bill Turner,356 Main, commented you were now penalized if you lived at
the beach. He moved here in 1958 and paid his taxes every year with no
benefits, and felt the assessment was too high. Mr. Mullis said in the
City of Jacksonville two years ago they had a $30,000,000 bond issue on
a special assessment program that rolls over every five years.
Mr. Larry Williams, owner of Blk 165, built his house in the middle of the
block and felt he should not have to pay for six lots as the rest of the
lots were only his yard. They would not be developed. Mayor Howell told
him the last time they assessed property owners, they allowed the property
owner to have only one stub out if he so desired, but the line still had
to go across the entire property. Some owners are sorry now they requested
only one stub, as they are selling some of their lots and are paying much
more for the stub outs.
4r. Eckert responded to the question of the duration of the contract that
he did not know, probably 12 to 18 months.
As no one else spoke for or against, the Mayor declared the Public Hearing
closed.

6. Public Hearing on an application for exception by William and Thomas
Morton, owners of Ragtime Restaurant for the purpose of upgrading their
:urrently held beer and wine beverage use to allow the sale of distilled
spirits
Mayor Howell announced Mr. Morton's request had been considered by the
;ommunity Development Board who recommended approval. The Community
Development Board granted to the Ragtime Restaurant the authority to ir-
crease the size by 50 additional seats. They were asking the City Commiis-
sion for an exception for the purpose of applying for COP consumption en
premise license from the State of Florida. A lengthy discussion followed
PAGE EIGHT V V
MINUTES NAME OF
MARCH 9, 1987 COMMRS. M S Y N
6. A. Public Hearing - continued
n the Community Development Board's authority to grant the variance.
The variance was granted on the fact the additional 50 seats could
not be opened until 5:00 p.m. Mr. Morton said that was correct, there
would be a door installed in the new addition at the left of the main
entrance and would be closed until 5:00 p.m. There was also a provision
Mr. Morton would install a rear entrance to the new addition. Commissio-ier
Cook noted it was his understanding they were going to expand only to
the next unit, but the drawings showed they would expand to the Bounty.
Mayor Howell then opened the floor for a Public Hearing and invited
comments from the audience. Mr. Ron Gray, 63 Beach Avenue, spoke for
Mr. John Pozanski, North Seminole Beach, and himself. It was his under-
standing before you could hold a Public Hearing on a zoning request,
there must be 30 days posted notice. Mr. Fellows said if the request
for rezoning was initiated by the Governing Body, 30 days was required.
Mr. Gray said the Community Development Board had not been in existence
for 30 days. The initial hearing came before the Advisory Planning Bd.
of which he was a member, and Mr. Morton requested his request be with-
drawn at that time. It was deferred until the Community Development
Board met. Mr. Fellows advised Mr. Morton had not applied for rezoning,
just a variance. The 30 day requirement does not apply to applications
for exceptions and variances, only rezoning. Mr. Gray questioned the
5 day requirement for posting. Mr. Fellows reported the Advisory
Planning Board met on January 20, 1986 and Mr. Morton left the appli-
cation pending and appeared before the Community Development on Feb.
17, 1987. One notice was posted at the old beauty shop (Ann's Crystal
Room) which Mr. Fellows assumed was sufficient. Mr. Gray stated, accord-
ing to the code, Mr. Morton was required to have 75 parking spaces. At
the best, he could only come up with 34. There was just not enough
parking spaces, and a traffic hazard had been created. Mr. Gray stated
he was all for progress, but felt an exception should be granted for
hardships. Ragtime had been very successful, and do a good job. They
are also a credit to the community, but he did not see any hardship
for them being granted the exception.
Mr. Morton said the Merchants Association met and did not object to
the expansion, and he felt they had adequate parking.
Mr. Val Wilcox voiced approval of Mr. Morton's request for exception.
As no one else spoke for or against, Mayor Howell declared the Public
Hearing closed.
Motion: Defer action on Mr. Morton's request for an exception Cook x
until the next meeting. Gulliford x
Commissioner Gulliford told the Commission in light of the letter
;ommissioner Morris had written to Mr. Fellows relative to the above,
ae felt Commissioner Morris should have the opportunity to participate
in the final vote. Commissioner Morris did not attend the meeting due
to the fact he was out of town on an emergency. The Commission agreed.
Following discussion, Commissioner Gulliford moved an amended motion.

Section 24-49. Beard-a€-Adiustment Community Development Board.
The Beard-a€-Adjustment Community Development Board, es-estebllshed
by--t4 -Guy--€-he--tee; shall be appointed by the City Commission. The
organization and procedures under which this board operates, its ar-
rangement of meetings, adoption of rules and its method of handling
appeals, variances or other related matters shall be in conformity with
the provisions of the-Ghertet Chapter 14 of this Ordinance Code.
(1) Power and Duties. The--Bo d -e-€-A }trst-went---ahell--have--t-+e
fellewing-thit4-ee--en-d--powes: The Community Development Board
may:
a. Te Hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is
an error in any order, requirement, decision or deter-
mination made by the administrative official in •the
enforcement of this chapter;
b. Te Authorize, upon appeal in specific cases, and upon
findings of fact, such minor variances from the terms of
this chapter as will not be contrary to the public
interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal
enforcement of the provisions of this chapter will result
in unnecessary hardship. In order to authorize any
variance from the terms of this chapter, the Beard-orf
Adluetment Community Development Board must find that:
1 . Special conditions and circumstances exist which are
peculiar to the land, structure or building involved
and which are not applicable to other lands, struc-
tures or buildings in that same district.
c. In granting any variance, the Beard-ef-Adiustment Commu-
nity Development Board may prescribe appropriate con-
ditions and safeguards in conformity with this division
and any ordinance enacted under its authority. Violation
of the conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the
terms under which the variance is granted, shall be
deemed a violation of this chapter.
d. Under no circumstances, except as permitted above, shall
the Beard-ef-Adiustment Community Development Board grant
a variance to permit a use not generally permitted or
permitted by exception in the zoning district involved or
any use expressly or by implication prohibited by the
terms of this chapter in the zoning district. No noncon-
firming use of neighborhood lands, structures or build-
ings in the same zoning district and no permitted use of
lands, structures or buildings in other zoning districts
shall be considered grounds for authorization of a
variance.
e. In exercising its powers, the Beard-ef-Adlustment Commu-
nity Development Board may, upon appeal and in conformity
with provisions of this division, reverse or affirm,
wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement,
devision or determination being appealed, and to that end
shall have the powers to direct the issuance of the
necessary permit.
2. Appeals of Administrative Actions. Appeals to the Beard--of
Adiastment Community Development Board may be taken by any
person aggrieved or by any officer, board or department of the
city affected by any decision of the administrative official
under this article. Such appeal shall be taken within thirty
(30) days after rendition of the order, requirement, decision
or determination appealed from by filing with the officer from
whom the appeal is taken and with the Beerd--erf--M tmeft
Community Development Board a notice of appeal specifying the
grounds thereof. The appeal shall be in the form prescribed
by the rules of the board. The administrative official shall,
upon notification of the filing of the appeal, transmit to the
Beard--e --Aci-j-u-s-t-men-t Community Development Board, all the
documents, plans, papers or other materials constituting .the
record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
a. Stay of work. An appeal to the Beard-- f--Aflitts-tfex-t
Community Development Board stays all work on the prem-
ises and all proceedings in furtherance of the action
appealed from, unless the administrative official shall
certify to the Beard--e4-4AittlAttreflt Community Developmeny
Board that, by reason of facts stated in the certifi-
cate, a stay would cause imminent peril to life or
property. In such case, proceedings or work shall not be
stayed except by a restraining order, which may be
granted by the Beard-a€-Adiustmeat Community Development Board
er- -- +* -e€-reeerd-en after application;-ef1--ro-t4e
to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and on due
cause shown.
b. Hearings of Appeals. The Beerd-orf-A:d,ir s-t retrt Community
Development Board shall fix a reasonable time for the
hearing of the appeal, give public notice thereof, as
well as due notice to the parties in interest, and decide
the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing, any
party may appear in person, by agent or by attorney.
3. Appeals of Decisions of the Beard-- -Adjust-meet Community
Development Board. Any person or persons, jointly or several-
ly, aggrieved by any decision of the Beer4--e€--Ac}-jrs-t-men-t
Community Development Board or any taxpayer, or any officer,
department, board or bureau of the City Commission, may
present to a-eeti--t--of---r—eeerd the City Commission a petition,
duly verified, setting forth that such -decision is illegal, in
whole or in part, specifying the grounds of the illegality.
The petition shall be presented to the eetrrB Commission within
thirty (30) days after the filing of the decision in the
office of the board.
4. In exercising the powers granted by this ehepter section, the
Beard—of—AEU-Hutment Community Development Board, by the
concurring vote of the majority of members, may reverse or

PETITION
Date: March 13, 1987
To: The City Commission
City of Atlantic Beach, Florida
From: John Morris, Commissioner
Subject: PETITION TO APPEAL DECISION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BOARD SEEKING REVERSAL OF THE VARIANCE GRANTED FOR
OFF-STREET PARKING
The Honorable Members of the City Commission:
Pursuant to Chapter 24, Section 24-49 as amended in Ordinance No.
90-87-117 , I formally petition the Commission to appeal the decision of
the Community Development Board in an action taken February 17, 1987,
which "approved an application for variance of the parking requirements
at Ragtime Tavern at Atlantic and Ocean Boulevards which would permit
expansion into the adjacent unit and an additional 50 seats." (See
2-18-87 memorandum from the Community Development Board to the Commis-
sion) .
This petition to appeal is based in part on the grounds that the deci-
sion is illegal for the following reasons:
1. Section 24-17 Variance "A variance may be authorized only for
height, area, size of structure or size of yards and open spaces.
Establishment or expansion of a use otherwise prohibited shall not
be allowed by variance nor shall a variance be granted because of
the presence of nonconformities in the zoning district or in
adjoining district."
A. Action taken for variance of parking is not allowed under the
definition of variance (See definitions Section 24-17) .
B. Expansion of a use otherwise prohibited shall not be allowed
by variance. Parking requirements (for restaurants) are in
Section 24-161(15) .
2. Section 24-49 b. "Authorize, upon approval in specific cases, and
upon findings of fact, such minor variances from the terms of this
chapter as will not be contrary to the public interest. . . . . . etc."
A. A minor variance is hardly a 33% increase in seating. A minor
variance for parking is hardly a 41 space shortage when the
150 seat requirement is for 75 parking spaces.
3. Section 24-49 b. ". . . . . .In order to authorize any variance from
the terms of this chapter, the Community Development Board must
find that: (Section 24-49 b.2.) "the special conditions and circum-
stances do not result from the actions of the applicant," (Section
24-49 b.3) "Granting the variance will not confer on the applicant
any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other
lands, buildings or structures in the same zoning district."
A. The applicant is requesting expansion as a direct result of
his action - they're successful and need more space.
B. To grant the variance will give the applicant a special
privilege - waiver of parking requirements for restaurants and
bars in CG zoning.
4. In 1985 the Board of Adjustments granted a variance to Ragtime for
expansion - varying the setback of their building from 20 feet to
82 feet in the rear which allowed the expansion. They also varied
the parking requirements to accommodate the expansion subject to
certain conditions (see Board of Adjustment Minutes 4-18-85) (1)
Sufficient lighting in the rear, (2) Easterly parking spaces to be
marked for parallel parking rather than angle parking, (3) Mr.
Morton guide his customers to the off-street parking (4) the Police
Department be consulted to determine the proper parking in that
area.
According to 24-49(1)c. "In granting any variance the Board of Adjust-
ment may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity
with this division and any Ordinance enacted under its authority.
Violation of the conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the
terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation
of this chapter."
While I do not recognize the power of the board to grant parking vari-
ances, I do recognize the fact that Ragtime has been "allowed" to
operate and expand under these variances - but I submit, they have not
met the conditions of (1) and (3) above (I don't have information on
(4)) , and therefore are in "violation" as stated in 24-49(1)c.
As to the recommendation for approval to allow Ragtime Tavern to expand
their current beer and wine license to include on premise consumption of
liquor, the request becomes moot subject to the outcome of this appeal.
In any event, I feel the board has not properly considered the guide-
lines for such a request and would hope they reconsider this request in
light of the Ordinances governing the request and actions taken since
1983 on similar requests.
Respectfully
John Morris
We have signed below to indicate our opposition to the
proposed parking variance for Ragtime Restaurant. When
the first variance was granted for their expansion a
shortage of thirteen parting spaces was created. If Ragtime
• expands again to a 150 swat restaurant with a full service
bar, they will be 41 spaces short of what they need to
accomodate their_clientele. Parking is already extremely
limited. Local Merchants, residents, and shoppers have
been significantly inconvenienced be lack of available
spaces. The owners of Ragtime are requesting a varience
that would make the problem even worse. The expansion of the
restaurant will also change the "Mix" of the establishments
in Atlantic Landing, by eliminating at least one exsisting "
retail store and one available retail space. For these
reasons we strongly urge you to vote NO on the requisted
variance for Ragtime parking, and maintain the special
nature of Atlantic Landing shopping area.

We have signed below to indicate our opposition to the
proposed parking variance for Ragtime Restaurant. When
the first variance was granted for their expansion a
shortage of thirteen parking spaces was created. If Ragtime
expands again to a 150 seat restaurant with a full service
bar, they will be 41 spaces short of what they need to
accomodate their clientele. Parking is already extremely
limited. Local merchants, residents, and shoppers have
been significantly inconvenienced bei' lack of available
spaces. The owners of Ragtime are requesting a varience
that would make the problem even worse. The expansion of the
restaurant will also change the "Mix" of the establishments
in Atlantic Landing, by eliminating at least one existing
retail store and one available retail space. For these
reasons we strongly urge you to vote NO on the requisted
variance for Ragtime parking, and maintain the special
nature of Atlantic Landing shopping area.
