This price includes fertilizer, digging out rotten places and also taking down the trees that have been struct by lightning. Cann Tree Surgery stated that they can save every living tree with the proper treat- ment. Commissioner Speed moved that the City go ahead and hire Cann Tree Surgery pending having received a second bid. If the second bid is higher than $1,000.00 then the decision will be left to the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ros- Borough and carried. The monies to be taken from Account 9-1012. Paving - Saturiba Drive: Mr. George Bull stated that he had been working for two weeks with B. B. McCormick & Sons to come up with some realistic price for the paving estimate on Saturiba Drive, but due to the fact that Mr. McCormick has been extremely busy and is going out of town he is not prepared to come up with a figure. He stated that the paving would fall in the category of $10,000.00 to $12, 000.00 with the idea that the City would probably bid for the equipment on a rental per hour basis with the paving being done on a square yard basis. Mr. Bull requested that this item be deferred until the next meeting. Mayor Howell asked the City Commission if they had any objections. There were none. Property Exchange: Sewer Plant and Public Works Site: Mr. George Bull stated that for the record he absolutely disagrees with Mr. Richard Hamilton' s appraisal of the property to be exchanged. The $23,000.00 Mr. Hamilton quoted in his appraisal, dated September 18, 1973, for Parcel B will be paid to the City. Mr. Vogel reported that the cost of the new building, with approxi- mately 10,000 square feet of Butler type building, concrete floors and office space, would run about $7 .23 per square foot. This will include plumbing, wiring, insulation of the office area, etc. , making a total cost of $72, 300.00. In this connection the City is getting land for the sewer plant that can be substracted from the total figure. MINUTES SEPTEMBER 24, 1973 PAGE THREE Mr. Vogel suggested that if the City decides not to swap the pro- perty it will become imperative that the City immediately negotiate buying 240 X 240 feet for the sewer plant. After lengthly discussion, Mayor Howell directed questions to Mr. Bull about various aspects of the land swap, such as ingress and egress . Mr. Bull stated that under the P .U.D. ordinance and his proposal all the detail plans would have to be implemented before the exchange could actually take place. If the City is agreeable to the exchange the plans will include streets and sewage, Mr , Bull stated that the City will have ingress and egress from three direc- tions. At this time, Mr. Bull stated that he would like to have an expression of intent from the City so that he can move forward with his plans. Mr. Bull further explained he wanted the minutes to read that the City Commission endorses the idea of the exchange of pro- perty subject to conditions remaining basically stable, It was moved by Commissioner Fogg, seconded by Commissioner Minton and carried that the City Commission is in accordance with the in- tent of the swapping of the property based on Mr. Hamilton ' s appraisal dated September 18, 1973 . The cost of the new city yard building not to exceed $50,000,00. The agreement of intent, or expression of intent to be cancelled on the part of either party if the equities change . George Bull, Jr , , Lots 1 and 2 Ocean Grove, North Atlantic Beach. Mr. George Bull, Jr, stated that he is still requesting City water for lots 1 and 2 Ocean Grove. During the discussion of this re- quest, questions were directed to Mr. Walter Parks, Consulting Engineer, concerning the City ' s capabilities of extending water service to property outside the City Limits. It was suggested to Mr. Parks that he furnish the City Commission with preliminary information as to our present capabilities and what gallonage we are now using at peak time and during normal time; what the city can expect on certain growth patterns. This report to be given at the next regular Commission Meeting. Mayor Howell stated that in fairness to Mr. Bull ' s request for water, that in going back over the minutes of August 24, 1973, the City Commission did agree to furnish water to Lots 1 and 2 Ocean Grove when and if water service is extended to Ocean Village One, North Atlantic Beach, At this time, northing has been done on this project. MINUTES SEPTEMBER 24, 1973 PAGE FOUR The only thing that the City Commission can do at this time is to decide what size line should be installed if and when the City ex- tends water outside the City Limits. It was moved by Commissioner Fogg, seconded by Commissioner Rosborough and carried that if and when the City allows water extension outside the City Limits, the size of the water line must conform with the size that would be appropriate for the continuing extension of those lines in a normal pattern. Phase II - Fox Garden Apartments: Mr. Fox presented final plans to the City Commission for Fox Garden Apartments - Phase II . A question and answer period followed where- in Mr. Fox explained to the City Commission that his project takes in approximately 25 acres.. He will have 448 total units with approximately 31 people_ per unit, resulting in approximately 1540 people. The entire project will be completely landscaped and paved before the apartments are occupied. Commissioner Minton stated that he was under the impression that when the preliminary plans were approved by the City Commission that Phase I would be of a particular style and design; Phase II would be entirely of another design and Phase III would also be changed.. Each phase would be its own entity. Mr. Fox explained that the exterior of Phase II and Phase III would be exactly the same as Phase I . Mayor Howell stated that on the building plans as submitted on pages A-20 and A-21, the specifications call for aluminum siding. Mro Fox stated that all the buildings would be entirely brick. It was moved by Commissioner Rosborough that the plans be approved as sub- mittedwith changes in the specifications on pages A-20 and A-21 to read "brick" .. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Fogg recommended that the plans be sent back to the Advisory Planning Board stating that the Advisory Planning Board was under the im- pression that Phase II and Phase III would be reviewed again by the Board. Mayor Howell read from the minutes of the Advisory Planning Board Meeting, June 20, 1972: "After a detailed explanation by Mr. Rex Frye, the Board asked and received answers to a number of questions concerning the project. When all things were considered, including alter- native uses of the land, the Boards ' vote was unanimous to recommend to the City Commission the entire 25 acres be designated a "PUD ZONING" . Included in the recommendation was the approval of Phase I . MINUTES SEPTEMBER 24, 1973 PAGE FIVE Further development on Phase II and Phase III will be contingent upon the demand for various types of living units and submittal to the Board for approval. " It was moved by Commissioner Fogg, seconded by Commissioner Ros- borough and carried that the final plans for Fox Garden Phase II be referred back to the Advisory Planning Board for their recommen- dations. Mayor Howell presented Ordinance No. 90-73-59 amending Chapter 28-8F building height limit of the Code of the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida entitled "Zoning, " on first reading by title only° Said Crdinance was presented in full and in writing.
