The City Commission received an application from Mr. R. W. Maxwell
for Planned Unit Development for a motel at Ardella Road and May-
port Road, Atlantic Beach, Florida. Mr. Vogel stated that the
Advisory Planning Board passed this back totheCity Commission re-
commending that this not be approved based on the fact that it
could be, without alterations converted into apartment houses. The
plans call for a kitchen, dining area, living area and bedroom,
which constitutes an apartment. Mr. Vogel stated that this does
not come under "PUD" because the area is already zoned "Business B"
which allows motels, but before the City Commission can look at the
plans they will have to be approved by the Hotel and Restaurant
Commission. Mr . Carl Burr, representing, Mr. R. W. Maxwell, stated
that plans have not been prepared and this was simply a sketch to
see what would be allowed. Mayor Howell stated that if it is a
motel, the property is already zoned for it and does not require
any action from the City Commission other than the plans will have
to be approved, built according to the Southern Standard Building
Code and meets all set-back requirements, etc. No action can be
taken by the City Commission until the City of Atlantic Beach gets
the final approval from the Hotel and Restaurant Commission.

ordinance, second reading, voter registration. At this time,
Mayor Howell stated that the law pertaining to one registration in
the County does not take effect until January 1, 1974, and suggested

was moved by Commissioner Speed, seconded by Commissioner Fogg and
carried the the ordinance pertaining to voter registration, second
and final reading, be postponed until the next regular City Com-
mission meeting and the Public Hearing be held August 13, 1973.
Mr. Hilliard, Director of Public Works, requested City Commission
approval for additional money to clean the lagoon because of the
slime that is forming. It was moved by Commissioner Minton,
seconded by Commissioner Speed and carried that the Public Works
Department be allocated money, not to exceed $1,000.00, for the
purpose of cleaning the lagoon.

Theater to build another theater adjoining the present one. After
