Mr. Townsend Hawkes presented a request for permission to make a garage apartment out of the garage on Lot 1, Block 30, which garage was built to go with the house on Lot 2, Block 30. Mr. Waggoner refused the request because it could not comply with the Zoning Ordinance, and it was referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustments who investigated and denied the re- quest. The matter was discussed and it was decided to look at the situation and postpone decision until the next meeting. Minutes 6-13-60, Page #2 J.V. Moss made an appeal for Ahern St. to be paved, as he under . stood it is set up for the 1960 budget. He was speaking on be- half of himself and the Markerts. They each own 2 four family apartments on this street. Mr.&Mrs.Harry F. Forst to-gether with some property owners on First St. asked for some drainage relief on Ahern St. in order to take care of the water which floods their places when it rains. It was advised that we are waiting for the Engineer 's answer on drainage which we expect to get within the next 2 weeks. Mr. Howell advised that we hope to have the paving on Ahern St, going within the next two months. It is necessary that we have the answer to the drainage before we go ahead with the paving of Ahern St. Mr. Waggoner presented the Landfill Contract for the period of July 1, 1960 to July 1, 1961 and recommended its acceptance. It was discussed and Mr. Moore moved that we accept the Landfill Contract as presented and that the Mayor and City Manager sign same for the City, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Mr. Waggoner advised that the Sewer Assessment against Lot 799, Saltair was in error on the Special Sewer Assessment Roll, as the sewer service lines were not run to this Lot, and recommended that the request of the owner that the assessment on this lot be with- drawn from the Roll, be granted. It was discussed and Mr. Johansen presented Resolution #60-15 directing the City Clerk to correct the Roll by cancelling the assessment against Lot 799, $altair on the Sewer Assessment Roll and moved its adoption.

He has not heard from the other three. It was decided not to take any action until we hear from the others, and Mr. Waggoner advised he would try and have a report from all by the next meeting. A letter was presented from Harry C. Warnock who is building on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Unit #1 Ocean Grove known as 161- 16th St. requesting the City to furnish him with water and sewer service.

The matter was discussed and the question of inter- est was brought out. Mr. George Bull, who was present, advised that they will be agreeable to receiving payments as above without interest. This is one of the lots covered by the contract with Selva Marina Co. Mr. Claiborne moved that we accept the Payments as requested,without 'interest seconded by Mr.Moore and carried.

The Public Hearing was set for June 27th, 1960. Mr. Howell presented an Ordinance in writing covering the connec- tion charges for water by the City.

There was further discussion of this Ordinance as to the amount to be charged for connections as to whether the proposed charge was too high. It was agreed that the present charge is too low, but there is a question .as to how much it should be raised. There was a great deal of discussion as to water rates, expenses, etc. and it was agreed that no further action will be taken until can have more study and discussion. Mr. Howell next presented an Ordinance covering the ReZoning of certain areas on both sides of Mayport Road, said Ordinance being in writing.

The City Clerk was directed to send letters by regular mail to property owners where the change was from Business to Residential. Mr. Waggoner advised that in the new Royal Palms sub-division Unit #1 that ever so often they would like to turn a house long- way on the lot in order to break the line and sameness, but that in a few instances a part of the house would extend into the rear 30 feet of the lot. It was discussed and decided that if it does not happen too often that the City Manager be given authority to issue a non-conforming permit on the houses to be turned on the lot, but that the rear yard set back must not be less than 20 feet. This applies only to Royal Palms Unit #1. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned by Mayor Howell. ,Z,-- r.r m. S. owell, Mayor-Commissioner Attest: ate_ Adele S.
