Absent: R. C. Vogel, City Manager (Out of City)
The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Howell.
The Invocation was given by Mr. Weldon.
Minutes of the meeting of April 14, 1969 were approved as written
upon motion of Mr. Holloway, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and
carried.
Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business
from the floor not on the Agenda. There was none.
A letter was presented from Mr. George Bull in which he changed
his request from that of rezoning that particular area lying East
of the Northerly extension of the West boundary line of the City
yard; West of Selva Marina Units 3 and 4; North of 11th Street and
South of the Selva Marina Country Club, to a request that the City
adopt a "Planned Unit Development" Ordinance, and that he then be
permitted to present the detailed plans on the Garden Apartment
project under the "PUD" Ordinance. Copy of Mr. Bull ' s letter is
attached hereto and made a part hereof. There was a lengthy
discussion, in which it was brought out that the City retains a
certain amount of control during the entire time of development
under the "PUD" Ordinance where if rezoned Residence "C" , the
developer would only have to meet zoning requirements as to square
foot area and set back, and meet the Southern Standard Building
Code. However, under the "PUD" Ordinance the City retains a lot
of control during all phases of the project and individually
approves each phase of development. Mr. Robert Whyte advised he
does not believe Atlantic Beach is large enough nor is there enough
available building area for us to need a planned unit development
ordinance. It was brought out that you would not under such an
ordinance have to change the zoning on a particular project but
after a Public Hearing on same the Commission could either approve
or reject it and there would be Public Hearings all during the
project on various phases. It was suggested that a Committee be
appointed to study and work with the City Attorney. Mr. J. C.
Campbell expressed opinion that we have a Committee to study. Mr.
Frederick Aldridge also spoke on the subject. Mr. Rosborough
advised he was not familiar with the Ordinance and would prefer
for a Committee to study. Mr. Holloway moved that the Mayor
Minutes 4/28/69 Page #2
appoint a Committee to work with the City Attorney and look into
the Planned Unit Development for the City of Atlantic Beach,
seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried. The Mayor will appoint a
Committee at the next meeting. Mr. Aldridge again spoke at
length on the "PUD" Ordinance and Mr. Bull' s project and what
the home owners "deserve" .
A request was presented for approval of purchase of 12 - 3/4"
meters and yokes at estimated cost of $475.00 from Account #'1501.
Mr. Rosborough moved approval of purchase, seconded by Mr. Longo
and carried.
The report of the Public Works Department was presented. Mr.
Weldon advised he was surprised to see the lights on Mayport Road
overpass. They were put there by the Expressway Authority. We
will have to pay for the current and upkeep of those on Atlantic
Beach side of the overpass. They were part of the final arrange-
ments for the lights on Atlantic Boulevard and Mayport Road.
There was a lengthy discussion of the condition of the Jack Russell
Park following Little League games. The agreement with them was
that they would clean up that area after the games, but it has
not been done. Mr. Hilliard has written the president of the
Little League and will see what can be worked out.
Mr. Rosborough inquired as to the barricades on the Beach at 16th
Street as to whether they will be lighted and are we working in
conjunction with the City of Jacksonville. The City of Jacksonville
has not put up their barricades to-date further north on the Beach.
We should put reflectors on our barricades as they go in. The
Attorney advised he does not think putting the barricades in will
jeopardize the safety of the citizens any more than a pier, etc.
It is an obstruction but not a "hidden obstruction" . The tides
will determine how soon we can finish getting them in.
Mr. Vogel' s report on the paving, etc. of Ocean Boulevard was
presented. A copy of this report is attached hereto and made a
part hereof. In the discussion it was agreed we do not have the
money in this year ' s budget for any of this work but that the
City Manager should proceed further with a long range plan as to
streets, water and sewer improvements, drainage, etc. as to just
what should be done and how financed.
Mr. Longo moved that we make arrangements for a meeting with Mr.
Lorimer to make a survey of this area and see if low-cost housing
is warranted, and to ask his Board if Jacksonville Housing
Authority would be interested in handling for Atlantic Beach,
seconded by Mr. Holloway and carried.
Minutes 4/28/69 Page ;#3
Mr. Holloway asked about Committee on computerizing City books,
etc. Mayor Howell advised he will appoint Committee at next
meeting.
There being no further business, Mr. Howell declared the meeting
adjourned.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT TO CITY COMMISSION ON
PAVING OCEAN BOULEVARD
In compliance with instructions at the last Commission meeting,
I herewith submit an estimate based on Mr. Parks ' preliminary
plans for paving, drainage, curbs, gutters and sidewalks on
Ocean Boulevard from Atlantic Boulevard to 7th Street.
I have conferred with Mr. Parks and I find that approximately
20% must be added to his estimate that was made in 1960 to
bring it in line with current costs of labor and material,
which amounts to approximately $78, 000.00 for the project. The
total area involved is 2600 feet, and by breaking it down on a
ratio of 1/3 for property on each side of the street and 1/3 by
the City, the property would be assessed as follows:
$11. 75 per front foot. This would yield approximately
$26,000. 00 on each side of the street, and the City' s
pro-rata cost would also be $26, 000. 00.
By changing the ratio to 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2, the front
foot cost would be approximately $8.75, yielding
$19, 500.00 on each side of the street and the cost
to the City, $39, 000.00.
Respectfully submitted,
eef -te

Re: Land lying East of the Northerly extension
of the West boundary line of the City yard;
West of Selva Marina Units 3 and 4; North
of 11th Street and South of the Selva Marina
Country Club
Dear Mayor Howell:
The captioned property was the subject of a request for zoning to Residence C
last year, so that garden type apartments might be built on this location,
which matter has been informally discussed on several occasions and was again
the subject of a meeting with a committee composed of the whole City Commission
last evening. The time and effort by the Commissioners in hearing these dis-
cussions is greatly appreciated.
It would now appear that the interests of the City would be best served by
changing our request from that of a purely zoning matter to a request that
the City adopt an appropriate ordinance or ordinances to effect the "Planned
Unit Development" concept as guidelines for the major development efforts that
will take place within the City. It would also appear that the "Planned Unit
Development" concept would be beneficial not only to our present desire to use
the captioned property for garden apartments , but also the development of all
land owned by others, as well as to the unused lands of the R-C-B-S Corpora-
tion and the Selva Marina Realty Company now within the City.
The City Commission is therefore requested to have prepared and adopt the
necessary ordinances for "Planned Unit Developments" as soon as conveniently
possible. The R-C-B-S Corporation and Selva Marina Realty Company will , in
addition to planning the details of the garden apartment project it now wishes
to undertake, develop a master plan map indicating what might or probably will
be the future uses of the remainder of its lands within the City, all of which
lan4.sould thereby be subject to "Planned Unit Development".
Y urs' very truly,
it ?rGeorge Bull
