lock into this and report back at the next meeting .
Commission Consideration: Phase II, Fox Garden Apartments
Mayor Howell stated thzt this item was held over from the last
Commission Meeting to give those members of the City Commission an
opportunity to further study the plans.
Commissioner Speed stated that he was totally opposed to this type
of complex. He brought to the attention of the City Commission
other apartment complexes, namely Cavalla Arms, Cavalla Road,
Atlantic Beach, where there has been work stoppage. The Cavalla
Arms have air conditioners that are sitting on the ground with im-
proper drainage; they have not been properly landscaped nor have
the owners provided off street parking . The residents are putting
garbage on the street without containers. The owners of the pro-
perty have not picked up the remaining building construction material
and the drainage ditch behind the property has not been filled in
as promised or the fence erected as per the plans.

Mayor Howell stated that he thought Commissioner Speed had some
points that were well taken, but that he wanted to point out that
Cavalla Arms is not Planned Unit Development. The property was re-
zoned and is not under P ,U„D< Mayor Howell stated that the City
Commission should direct the City Manager to cease any further in-
spections on the remaining buildings until such time as they get
their off street parking and complete the buildings according to
their plans .
Mr. Ball, City Attorney, stated that this particular apartment
complex is in violation of the building and zoning codes and the
owner and resident manager could be taken to municipal court each
day these violations take place .
After discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Speed, seconded by
Commissioner Minton and carried that the City Commission direct the
City Manager and the City Attorney to take whatever steps that are
necessary to stop further rentals of Cavalla Arms and to: bring a-
bout the completion of those that are already rented to the plans
and specifications as submitted, and report back to the Commission
at the next meeting.
Commissioner Speed pointed out that because the City has had so
much difficulty with apartment complexes that he would like to see
Phase I, Fox Garden Apartments, completed and occupied before the
City Commission gives authorization for Phase II and recommended to
the City Commission that Phase II be postponed until Phase I is
properly completed. Mayor Howell stated that Mr. Fox ' s Phase I , II ,
and Phase III were given tentative approval by the Advisory Planning
Board and then passed on by the City Commission.
After lengthly discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Rosborough,
seconded by Commissioner Minton and carried that the City Commission
