Official ipp5 City of Atlantic Beach 800 Seminole Road a ` �� u i t " Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 -5445 RE: 1975 Francis Street A/K/A Lot 2, Donner Sub Dear Mr. Ford: As the owner of 1975 Francis Street, in the city of Atlantic Beach, it has been very difficult to maintain the property because I do not reside in the area, in fact I live on the opposite side of the country. Since ownership reverted to me, I have depended on the kindness of your office to keep me informed so that I might stay in compliance with city ordinances regarding said property. In previous years, I have received either a notice regarding the maintenance of the land - now that it has been cleared, and tax notices prior to their due dates, so that there is sufficient time for me to pay without incurring delinquent fees. We have made an effort to keep the property clean, so as to avoid any city leans. However, since I am not in the area, have no relatives or friends who can keep an eye on the lot, I must depend on city notices to alert me when some additional care is necessary. Since I have not heard from your office, I must assume that the person we are paying to cut the weeds every 3 months is doing a satisfactory job. However, I have a more pressing concern. I have yet to receive any tax notices on the property. I expected a tax bill in November, and then assumed that it would arrive in February/March but I've received nothing to date. I did move last spring. However, I was in Jacksonville in July '94 and left my new address there at City Hall at the time. Please advise me regarding the status of the property as soon as possible. I am sending a copy of this letter addressed to the Property Tax Division, in hopes of expediting the matter. Thank you for your prompt attention. dwma P.

I understand Chapter 4 of the Standard Unsafe Building Abatement Code allows me an appeal regarding the demolition. I am hereby requesting an appeal of the demolition by the city, so that I can demolish it myself at a lesser cost. The cost of such action by the city, and subsequent liens, would be prohibitive for me at this time. I am asking your understanding in this matter because (1) I am a non - resident of Florida, (2) I have no family in the area to either take care of the property or to inform me of its condi- tion, (3) we have paid for work to be done on the property and that work was not completed, (4) I have been displaced myself recently by the L.A. earthquake 1/17/94, hence by delay in responding to this more quickly, (5) I am now deciding on a company to do the work (thanks to the assistance of Mr. Grunewald of your office) and (6) I will take care of the demolition myself as soon as possible. I trust that you will take these issues into consideration and grant me additional time to handle this independently of the city. I also hope that I have responded correctly to the issue of appeal. If not, please call me collect at 213/937 -5981 in Los Angeles with details of what I have omitted. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, LIZ Z� G� 1 I E aina P. Moore 1507 S.

Since 1 have not heard from your office, I must assume that the person we are paying to cut the weeds every 3 months is doing a satisfactory job. However, I have a more pressing concern. I have yet to receive any tax notices on the property. I expected a tax bill in November, and then assumed that it would arrive in February/March but I've received nothing to date. I did move last spring. However, I was in Jacksonville in July '94 and left my new address there at City Hall at the time. Please advise me regarding the status of the property as soon as possible. I am sending a copy of this letter addressed to the Property Tax Division, in hopes of expediting the matter. Thank you for your prompt attention. Sincerely, ' 2 Edwina P.

I have to this date received nothing, not even an advisory regarding said property. On Mar. 27th, I also wrote to Don C. Ford, the Building Official, asking for similar information regarding the property. I also have yet to hear from that office. I am prepared to pay whatever taxes are owed on the property, but I am unable to do so because I have not received any tax bills since 1994. My address is Edwina Moore, 10125 Palms Blvd., #208, Los Angeles, CA 90034. I am sending this letter Return Receipt Requested, and a cc to Mr. Ford, along with a copy of the letter I sent nearly two months ago, because I am concerned about the property and want to honor my obligations in a timely manner. Since I live in California, it is impossible for me to make regular visits to check on the lot. So it is imperative that I receive tax bills or any information concerning the property in a timely manner. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect to hear from you in the very near future. Sincerel , E • wina Moore encls. cc: Don C. Ford Edwina P.

Official City of Atlantic Beach MAY 1995 800 Seminole Road Atlantic .Beach, FL 32233 -5445 Building and Zoning RE: 1975 Francis Street Dear Mr. Ford: A/K/A Lot 2, Donner Sub As the owner of 1975 Francis Street, in the city of Atlantic Beach, it has been very difficult to maintain the property because I do not reside in the area, in fact I live on the opposite side of the country. Since ownership reverted to me, I have depended on the kindness of your office to keep me informed so that I might stay in compliance with city ordinances regarding said property. In previous years, I have received either a notice regarding the maintenance of the land - now that it has been cleared, and tax notices prior to their due dates, so that there is sufficient time for me to pay without incurring delinquent fees. We have made an effort to keep the property clean, so as to avoid any city leans. However, since I am not in the area, have no relatives or friends who can keep an eye on the lot, I must depend on city notices to alert me when some additional care is necessary. Since I have not heard from your office, I must assume that the person we are paying to cut the weeds every 3 months is doing a satisfactory job. However, I have a more pressing concern. I have yet to receive any tax notices on the property. I expected a tax bill in November, and then assumed that it would arrive in February/March but I've received nothing to date. I did move last spring. However, I was in Jacksonville in July '94 and left my new address there at City Hall at the time. Please advise me regarding the status of the property as soon as possible.
