A letter was read from Mr. Kenneth W. Bording, Coordinator of
the Atlantic Beach Community School relative to securing the
Bookmobile Service for Atlantic Beach. He advised there is
ample parking space and electrical outlets at Atlantic Beach
School necessary for operating the Bookmobile. He advised

Mr. Vogel advised that the owner of W 1 of Lot 22, Lots 24

plat back to equal the other 50 feet lots on that street,
He wants to build 3 duplexes. The lots qualify except the
width of these lots do not come under the new sub-division
dimension ordinance. The lots are zoned for duplexes but

with a half lot on each side, into 3 - 50 foot lots. Mayor
Howell asked the attorney for an opinion, advising that his
interpretation of the ordinance is that you cannot combine
lots to an area of less than 7, 500 square feet with a minimum
frontage of 75 feet. The attorney advised he thinks it
cannot be done without an amendment. Mr. Rosborough moved
this be passed over to the City Attorney for a report back
on just what the situation is, seconded by Mr. Fogg and
carried.
Mr. Speed reported on the request for extention of zoning
time for Lots 3 through 11, Block 16, Royal Palms, on which
Town Houses are to be built. He reviewed the situation and
advised he had conferred with Mr. R. W. Howard and had looked
at his detailed constructbn plans and finds them most attrac-
tive Mr. Howard would like approval to sell Lots 1 and 2
of Block 16, Royal Palms, to Pic N" Save to be used only for
parking and turn around. Mr. Speed recommended and moved
that we allow the entension of time as set up in Ordinance
Noe 90-71-41 for an additional 6 months and approve the sale
of Lots 1 and 2, Block 16, to Pic N' Save for the expressed
purpose of an entrance to rear and for turn around space,
seconded by Mr. Rosborough. There was discussion in which
it was advised by Mr. Howard that they plan to erect a 6- cc
foot fence to be landscapped between the town houses and
Pic N' Save shopping center. It was also emphacized that
no outside storage of stock or equipment can be on Lots 1
and 2, nor any structure will be erected in this loading and
parking areae The vote was:
Aye: Fogg, Rosborough, Speed
Nay: Minton, Howell
Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried.
Mr. Speed requested the Pension Plan be considered later in
the meeting due to it perhaps being lengthy in discussion.
Mayor Howell read Resolution No. 72-5 confirming the pro-
motion of Emma M. Stephens to position of Assistant City
Clerk-Treasurer, Betty Jean Barnes who held this position
has moved to Tampa, Florida, due to transfer of husband, after

Chief Stucki announced they had succeeded in getting the
school bus re-routed on Mayport Road, eliminating the
crossing south of Plaza, and have hired 2 crossing guards
to be north of Plaza on Mayport at Jackson Road and Church
Road.
Chief Stucki also advised he has hired a new police officer.
He is a young Negro man who was raised in Atlantic Beach,
attended Fletcher High School, and is just returned from
service in Viet Nam. He will be sent to the Police Academy,
and is working at this time.
On request of Mr. Hilliard approval was given for calling for
bids to be received Feb. 14, 1972, at,8 p.m. for garbage truck.
Mr. Vogel suggested we authorize the City Attorney to prepare
an ordinance to purge our voter roll, and we are backed by
State law as it states that if we want to adopt this, we
can, and if someone doesn't vote for two successive elections
then he will be sent a card. Thirty days thereafter, if card
is not returned he will be put on the inactive registration
roll. If he comes in at a subsequent election, he can vote
without being re-registered but is on an inactive roll. The
City Attorney agreed. Mr. Vogel advised we have a roll that
hasn't ever been purged and we have voters who have expired
or moved on. There was discussion, and it was suggested
we not have two mammoth rolls but that the names be purged
completely. The matter was turned over to the City Attorney.
Mr. Vogel stated that he and Mr. Parks had attended the
meeting of the Area Planning Board, but he had nothing
definite to report on same.
Mr. Howell advised he is calling a meeting of the City Comrssion
for Wednesday night, January 26th, 1972, at 8:00 p.m. to meet
as a committee of the whole to discuss the matter of the
Advisory Planning Board and Miss Reid' s request for lot
coverage variance.
The Pension Plan was next considered. Mr. Speed advised that
he had specified criteria for plan and some had followed but
one company had not. He has received plans from some six
or more companies and that perhaps we would like to consider

at the special committee meeting on Wednesday night. It was
agreed this would perhaps be best. Mr. Speed then moved that
the Pension Plan be taken up at the committee meeting on
Wednesday night, January 26th, seconded by Mr. Minton and
carried.
There being no further business, the Mayor .eclared the
meeting adjourned.
