map, and advised that these were merely suggestions , to
be used as astarting point . Those present who were heard

A.G. Penman. They agreed that would like to see homes as
nice as those already there , built along these roads . They
also suggested that 500 square feet was about the right
minimun area for them, and that plans should be submitted
to the Town Supervisor for approval. Mr. Penman requested
that his property right along the East side of Mayport
Road be zoned for busiress. Mr. Skaggs advised that they
would like to have a bisiness area for about 1200 feet
beginning at Atlantic Blvd. down the west side of Mayport
road. There was a delegation who live lust outside the •
Town on Mayport Road who requested that some restrictions
be put Qin the bi ildingof ahacks4ng built across the road

vidion . Mr . Travis thanked all those present for their
interest , and advised that the Council would study the

Mr. Frazier outlined to the Council the facts relative to
Mr. Shore ' s house on Lot 4 Block 63 , which has been converted
into a two-family house. Mr. Shore ' s permit to build
carried special notation that same was "Single Family" ,
and the same notation was on the plur.ber' s permit . It
now develops that the house has been converted to two family
apartments, and 3 additional plumbing fixtures installed
without permit . This is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance.
