AGENDA ITEM #3A
AUGUST 24, 2015
My wife and I have purchased and are remodeling a home at 800
Sherry Drive in Atlantic Beach. For safety purposes, we would like to
construct a new circular driveway on our property.
The current driveway is approximately 250 feet from the five-way
intersection of Sherry, Plaza and Seminole. It is also directly across the
street from 8th Street. With the heavy volume of traffic along Sherry
and the steady stream of traffic coming through the five-way
intersection, it creates a safety hazard to back out of our driveway
directly into this high traffic volume. It also requires us to monitor
traffic from three directions, which further complicates access to and
from our driveway.
I would appreciate your consideration to allow 1' _, to construct a new
circular driveway on our property. If you have my further questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at (501} ,20-7117, or our
contractor, Terry Gause, at (904) 838-5925.
Sincerely,
Terry D. Brown

I have been advised that you will be taking up a permitting request for a circular driveway at gnn
Sherry Drive the evening of July lJ, 2015. As the owner/occupant of 82-1 Sherry Drive. I 1-nlly
understand the desire for such a driveway. Backing out onto Sherry at all limes of the rl:w i~
downright dangerous. I believe having a circular drive may very well help alleviate this pwbkm for
our new neighbors.
With regards and best wishes, I remain
Tim Anderson
