Laney Whitehurst, Commissioners The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr. Howell. Minutes of the meeting of February 22, 1960 were approved as written upon motion of Mr. Johansen, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor. There was none. The request from Mr. Frank Keith regarding the remodeling and enlarging of his carport , decision on which was continued to this meeting, was next discussed. Mr. Moore again stated that he saw nothing wrong with what Mr. Keith wanted to do, as he is not changing the distance to his side line. Mr. Howell advised that since Mr. Keith had sold off his west lots, that the side- line relation of the carport had changed, Mr. Moore moved that they approve the structure being completed as it now stands, but there was no second to the motion. It was decided to wait until there is a full meeting of the commission to take action. As to the Dog Ordinance, Mr. Waggoner advised that there was $othing further on it, except that the County dog catcher had been down to see him, and advised that he will come get any dogs that we will catch and hold for him. Nothing has been done to- wards appointing an assistant dog catcher as discussed with Dr, Morgan. Mr. Howell presented Resolution #60-4 covering transfer of S900.00 from Unallocated Account #1050 to Administration Personnel Ac- count #201 in the 1960 Budget. Mr. Johansen moved the adoption of said Resolution #60-4, seconded by Mr. Moore, and carried. Copy of Resolution #60-4 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. • L} Minut4s of March 14th, 1960 Page #2 The Commission next went in to session for Public Hearing on 3 re-zoning Ordinances in line with notices as posted and published. A certified copy of Proof of Publication of the Notice on each of the 3 Ordinances is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Mayor Howell presented and caused to be read in full the Ordinance covering the re-zoning of Lots 728 thru 734, Saltair from Residence "C" to Business "A". A part of these lots are under option for the building of a new postoffice. Rev. Henry Stout of the Commu- nity Presbyterian Ch'-rch spoke against the re-zoning. The Church owns Lots 728 thry 731, Saltair and they do not favor their lots being re-zoned, nor the others either. Mrs. Josephine Blondheim spoke on behalf of the re-zoning, as Postmaster she feels it is the best location for a Postoffice. Mr. Harcourt Bull advised that there is a deed restriction on a large portion of Saltair Lots which prohibits building anything but a residence. There was quite a discussion on this, following which Mr. Moore moved that the action on this Hearing be continued until the next meet- ing until further information could be obtained on this point. There was no second to the motion. Mr. Johansen advised that the Public Hearing was held to get the peoples opinion on the matter and it seems the people are opposed to the re-zoning and he there- fore moved that the Ordinance not be passed on second and final reading, but there was no second to the motion. After more dis- cussion Mr. Moore again moved that action on the Public Hearing for this Ordinance be continued until the next meeting for further information as to the deed restrictions. Motion was seconded by Mr. Howell and the vote was Aye: Moore, Howell Nay: Johansen Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried. Mayor Howell next presented OrdimmncP #90-60-6 covering the re-zon- ing of a parcel of land lying on the northwest corner of Mayport Road and Levy Rd. , and also tract of land known as Tract #3 to Business "B" and caused same to be read in full. The owners were present in favor of the re-zoning of the corner tract and no one appeared against the rezoning. Whereupon Mr. Johansen moved the adoption of said Ordinance #90-60-6 on second and final reading, seconded by Mr. Moore and having been fully considered the Mayor put the question thereon and the vote was Aye: Johansen, Moore, Howell Nay: None Absent: Claiborne, Whitehurst Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion carried and said Ordinance #90-60-6 adopted on second and final Reading. • . ,j) Minutes 3-14-60, Page #3 Mayor Howell presented and caused to be read in full Ordinance #90-60-7 providing for the re-zoning of a parcel of land lying on the East side of Mayport Road (25 A. ) Recorded in Deed Book 1355-113 and Blocks 34 through 43, Section "H" to Residence "A". The Clerk advised that all the lots involved in Section "H" the owners had been sent certified letters and cards had been received back from 25 of the 28. The owner of Block 34 appeared and spoke against re- zoning his lot as he has had a dream of owning a grocery on this lot. *There was one letter received against, and one was for the re-zoning, and the remainder were not heard from. In view of the overall study of the Zoning Map which the Zoning Committee is making it was decid- ed to delete the Section "H" lots from Ordinance #90-60-7 and only consider the tract lying on the east side of Mayport Ftd. As no one appeared against the rezoning of this tract Mr. Johansen moved that the Section "H" lots be deleted from the Ordinance and that said Ordinance #90-60-7 as amended be adopted on 2nd and final reading, seconded by Mr. Moore and having been duly considered the Mayor put the question thereon and the vote was Aye: Moore, Johansen, Howell Nay: None Absent: Claiborne, Whitehurst Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion carried and said Ordinance #90-60-7 adopted on second and final reading. *The owner of Lots 5 & 6, Block 40, Section "H" advised that he was in favor of the change to Residence "A". The Commission next went into session for Public Hearing on Ordinance #25-60-2 requiring that on the issuance of permit for construction or improvement of property there shall be deposited $100.00 to indem- nify the City against damage to Public property, etc. , said Ordinance having been posted in line with charter requirements. Said Ordinance #25-60-2 was presented by Mayor Howell who caused same to be read in full. Mr. Harcourt Bull questioned the use of the phrase "opinion of the Building Official". The use of the word was discussed at length, and the wording was finally amended to "judgement of the Building Official". Mr. Moore moved the adoption of said Ordinance on second and final reading as amended, seconded by Mr Johansen and having been duly considered , it being decided to insert $100.00 as fine and 30 days as imprisonment in Section #3, the Mayor put the question thereon and the vote was: Aye: Johansen, Moore, Howell Nay: None Absent: Claiborne, Whitehurst Minutes 3-14-60, Page #4 Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion carried and said Ordinance #25-60-2 adopted on second and final reading. The Commission next received a report from Mr. Johansen, Chairman of the Zoning Committee. He presented a map showing suggested changes in some of the areas, especially changing some of the Business "B" area along Mayport Rd. to a residence area, as there seems to be too much business area provided for the size of the City. Mr. George Bull advised that he would like to see them create a Business Zone for a Shopping Center in the Hale Tract on Atlantic Blvd. and suggested that they not be hasty in their de- cisions to re-zone, as the City is progressing nicely at present under the present Ordinance. The matter was discussed at length, and was only presented for study, and no action was to be taken. There being no further business the meeting was declared adjourned by Mayor Howell. 4111(, Wim.
