Mr. Dowling and Mr. Akel decided to build only twelve single-family
units instead of constructing multi-family units. The zoning classi-
fication allowed the construction of a minimum of nineteen multi-family
units. The density would be reduced by 64% on the north piece, and 57%
on the south piece. However, the city had no zoning classification for
for what they wanted to do. At the suggestion of Mr. Mullis, they
studied the Growth Management Act of 1986 for relief.
After consulting with representatives of the Bluffs, their neighbors to
the north, Mr. Dowling offered two amendments to the covenants,conditions,
and restrictions, and two to the design standards (omit "and screened
enclosures"; omit "and heights", and change "ditto oceanfront lots" to
"variable but not less than 12.5' between building pads.")
Water, sewer and drainage will be dedicated to the city, but the road
inside each community will be owned by the Homeowners Association and
maintained by them. Mayor Howell asked why he was omitting part of the
covenants, and Mr. Dowling replied the reference did not relate to the_r
project, and they planned to plat the subdivision.
Mayor Howell recognized Mr. Keith Miser, 2317 Seminole Road, represent_ng
rhe Bluffs. He told the Commission that he and Mr. Dowling had discussed
he project at length, and the Bluffs were pleased with the changes. He
noted the Commission had seen the drawing one time previously. There were
two drawings. One was submitted to change the minimum setback line, both
on the back and side of the premises at Oceanside (to the south) , and it
was agreed to go back to the drawing submitted in late February, 1987.
Instead of side setback of 15' as called for under zoning regulations,
and a rear setback of 20' as called for, the side setback would be re-
duced from 15' to 122' . The rear setback would remain at 20' . Mr. Miser
also pointed out one other change Mr. Dowling wanted to make to the
design standards was under page 12 of the guide lines, 7 sub-1,to delete
any reference to zero lot line. There will be 7.5' from property line
to building pad. Mr.Miser added the neighbors he had talked to felt
there was a good give and take from both sides.
Following discussion, it was suggested by the City Attorney an Ordinance
be drawn.
Motion: The City Attorney be authorized to prepare the necessary Cook x x
Ordinance for introduction at the next meeting, to allow Edwards x
the development to go, together with the covenants and Gulliford x x
restrictions, and design quality standards. Jensen x
Howell x
During discussion before the vote, the City Attorney pointed out the
Ordinance would be drawn up specifically for Seminole Reach and Ocean-
Side project. It could be precedent setting, but the Commission would
ave to treat each one on their merits and benefits to the Community.
- .he question was called and the motion carried unanimously.

• 5. Committee Reports
A. Commissioner Cook with committee report and recommendation relative
to awarding of a contract for furnishing and installing a 70' radio
tower at the new Public Safety Building.
Commissioner Cook reported the Committee met on Friday, November 6 at
2:00 p.m. in City Hall. Discussion ensued regarding the low bid which
was much lower than the one other bid received. It was also pointed
out the low bidder was the man who installed the current tower. Mr.
Fellows contacted Mr. Estes of Rhone Manufacturing Co. in Peoria, Ill.
Mr. Estes felt the Rhone 55 bid by Angle Tower Co. was a little heavy
for the type of work the city needed. The Rhone 55 was used for radio
stations. The Committee investigated the possibility of ordering a Rhone
40 for a compromise, but Mr. Harris of Temco Tower Co. assured the
Committee, during a phone conversation, that he guaranteed the Rhone
2500,and it would withstand any hurricane the city might have. Following
discussion, the Committee recommended the bid be awarded to the low bid-
der, Tempco Tower Co.in the amount of $1,200.
Motion: Award the bid for a 70-foot communications tower at the Cook x x
new Public Safety Building to Temco Tower Company, the Edwards x
lowest and best bidder, in the amount of $1,200.00. Gulliford x x

Miscellaneous Business
Mayor Howell announced the City Hall will not be closed on Wednesday,
Veteran's Day as published in the paper. Atlantic Beach employees voted
-everal years ago to take the day after Thanksgiving off and remain
Ten on Veteran's Day.
Commissioner Gulliford requested the Mayor consider appointing a
Committee for the purpose of studying the new future alternatives on
` garbage and waste disposal, such as transfer stations. The Mayor said
he would appoint a Committee in the next few days.
Mayor Howell mentioned he had heard nothing from the City of Neptune
Beach relative to the City of Atlantic Beach's offer to tie their new
shopping center into our sewage treatment system. It was Mayor Howell's
understanding that Mayor Brant was looking into the possibility of
obtaining a consent order from DER that would allow them to use credit
from water hookups that are no longer used in Neptune Beach, such as
Brandy's lounge that has been torn down.
There being no other business to come before the Commission, Mayor
Howell declared the meeting adjourned at 7 :45 p.m.
