The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Howell.
The Invocation was given by Commissioner Minton, followed by
the pledge to the flag.
Upon motion of Mr. Minton, seconded by Mr. Speed and carried, the
minutes of the meeting of September 11, 1972 were approved as
written.
Mayor Howell recognized visitors present and called for any
business from the floor not on the Agenda. There was none.
Mr. Rex Frye and Mr. Paul Fox were present and presented a
plat replatting certain lots in Blocks 19 through 23, Royal Palms
Unit #2 (approximately 25 acres) , to acreage in order for it to
go under PUD. We have previously given tentative approval to the
Fox Apartment project, but they could not go ahead until the land
was put back into acreage and then it could go under PUD. Mr.
Minton moved approval of plat returning said land to acreage
under PUD, seconded by Mr. Rosborough. Mr. Howell raised the
question as to drainage ditch, but it is not a part of this
acreage but lies to the east of it, and is a part of Royal Palms.
Following further discussion as to the ditches the question was
put and the vote was:
Aye: Minton, Rosborough, Howell
Nay: Speed
Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried.
The plans were then presented for Phase I only of the Fox
Apartment complex. Mr. Rosborough moved the plans be referred
to the Advisory Planning Board and that the Commission meet in
special session to consider the Board' s recommendation, seconded
by Mr. Minton, and following discussion the motion carried.
An Ordinance was presented in full in writing for passage on
first reading by title only, said Ordinance to put certain
acreage under PUD as requested by Mr. George Bull. The acreage
includes their land lying north of Saturiba Drive, the old Army
site lying west of the lagoon, and Saltair acres Section 1 and 2.
Mr. Minton moved that the rules be waived and the Ordinance passed

on first reading by title only, seconded by Mr. Howell. Mr.
Rosborough stated he has talked to several people and it appears
to him we are including in PUD a zone and he doesn' t feel that it
was the intention of the PUD Ordinance that it be used as a
zoning criteria such as Residence AA or Business, but primarily
and solely for the purpose of the developer or builder coming
in to amend a variance. He would like to see this referred to
the Advisory Planning Board and see what their recommendation is,
such as putting under an existing classification that we have
or providing another classification that would apply to unzoned
land rather than under this Planned Unit Development Ordinance.
Mr. Wardrep, Chairman of the Planning Board, has considered the
putting of all unzoned acreage under PUD as we would still have
control under Planned Unit Development. There was considerable
discussion during which Mr. Howell stated that for planning to
gc under PUD it has to go through two boards, the Advisory
Planning Board and the Commission. After further discussion of
zoning and rezoning during which Mr. Wardrep advised that the
Planning Board understood Mr. Bull has a comprehensive plan for
this area which was good, and in his years in Atlantic Beach he
had never known the Bulls to do anything to hurt Atlantic Beach
nor go back on their word.
Mr. George Bull advised Atlantic Beach has no comprehensive
zoning plan which is the problem, covering plan for this acreage.
A report by Wilbur Smith was handed in 18 months ago. They have
urged the City for years to adopt a PUD Ordinance so they would
have control over use of land. He stated the City has no control
under zoning but it does have under PUD. He also stated that if
the City is going tc consider anything other than the PUD applica-
tion to this land north of the present Selva Marina Subdivision
and Country Club, they can withdraw his request that land be
considered for zoning in line with plan, and he dared that it
be zoned anything else in the face of it for be will take it to
Court. He has had a plan before the City for almost two years
and if zoned anything contrary to that plan he will take it to
Court.
Mayor Howell stated that we could place that particular
land under, say Residence AA, which means a building contractor
could design 75 ' x 100' lots up there and build 1400 square foot
homes over which we have no control, but under Planned Unit
Development anything that is built up there must first go before
the Planning Board (and there was a hew and cry around the City
to get the Planning Board into action so there could not be any
more indiscretion by the City Commission) , having been passed
or rejected by the Planning Board, whichever the case may be,
it would then come before the City Commission for approval or
denial. Under PUD there are two bodies that everything has to
go through regardless of what it is, also a Public Hearing. There
was further discussion following which the question was put and
the vote was:
Aye: Minton, Howell
Nay: Rosborough, Speed
Minutes 9/25/72 - Page #3
Whereupon the Mayor declared a tie vote and the motion failed.
Ordinance #20-72-24 transferring funds in 1972 Budget, was
presented for passage on second and final reading. Mayor HO ell
read the Ordinance in full, then declared the meeting in session
for Public Hearing on said Ordinance. Notice of Public Hearing
was posted in line with Charter requirements. As nu one appeared
either for or against the Ordinance, Mayor Howell declared the
Public Hearing closed. Mr. Speed moved passage cf Ordinance
#20-72-24 on second and final reading, seconded by Mr. Rosborcugh
and carried.
Mr. George Bull asked to be excused as he is going out of the
City on October 4th and will be hospitalized until after
November 1st.
The bid on bituminized drainage pipe was next considered. Mr.
Speed moved the bid be awarded to Sonoco Products Company in the
amount of $3,271.18, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried.
Mr. Hilliard advised Pic N' Save have started work at the back
of their store, but the front of the store is not being kept up.
Mr. Vogel is going to get in touch with them again.
Mr. Vogel advised that Savage and Brandt cannot complete their
contract on the Sewer Plant and the project has been turned over
to their Bonding Company to handle completion.
Mr. Howell attended the hearing on Occupational License fees and
reported that the case is going forward. We did. nc.t get the
injunction, but the Beaches and Baldwin are amply represented.
There being no further business, the Mayor de a ?ed the meeting
adjourned.
