Minutes 11/23/1970 - Page 2 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Atlantic Beach , Florida, entitled "Zoning" and amending the official zoning map to conform with the following Amendments : was presented for second and final reading . Mayor Howell read same in full following which he declared the meeting in session for Public Hearing on said Ordinance . Notice of Public Hearing had been posted in line with Char- ter requirements . No one from the audience rose to be heard pro or con on the _ issue . Mr . Johansen moved the passage of the Ordinance and final reading , seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried . Mr . Rosborough reported on the Saltair Lots and stated that he had gone over the appraisals and felt that the city should secure the property running North of the elementary school between Sherry Drive and Seminole Road . A special meeting had been called for this matter , but no quorum was present to conduct business on it . Mr . Rosborough further stated that he didn ' t realize that time was of the essence to Mr . Bull who offered some 60 percent of this property to sell to the City to secure tax credits . Mr . Bull intended to withdraw his offer unless the city would allow him some type of tax credit on some part of the property . It was proposed by Mr . Rosborough that the City Commission purchase lots 35 , SS , 87 , 33 , 39 , 91 , 32 , 93 , and 94 , at $200 each. These lots are not absolutely necessary to the city , but there are some drainage ditches in there which Mr . Vogel stated were encroaching on the area and that they had been dug some eight or ten years ago . Mr . Bull has agreed that if he is allowed a tax credit , he will keep his offer open through 1971 . Mr . Rosborough stated that he had discussed this matter with several realtors and appraisers of properties and they felt that a city of the size of Atlantic Beach with its population and anticipated population growth should have more park space . Me reported further , that there are approximately 48 lots in this area owned by other individuals and it would be necessary for them to contact the owners of these lots to see if they would be willing to sell them. Mr . Johansen asked that if the City had to go to condemna- tion , it would only be to those 43 lots . It was affirmed and Mr . Rosborough stated that some of the lots were not suitable for improvements and he figured they could probably buy them at their appraised value . It was moved by Mr. Minton , seconded by Mr . Johansen , that the City purchase the lots subject to the necessary funds being transferred from the 1970 budget . The motion carried .
