Fogg and carried.
Recognition of Visitors
Mrs. William Koening, 780 Redfin, asked about the possibility of
placing "No Passing" signs on Plaza and Royal Palms Drive. Mayor
Pro Tem Rosborough stated that signs might help the situation in the
Royal Palms area but that possibly the citizens might take down the
tag numbers of the people speeding and turn them over to the Chief
of Police or City Manager. They will then be placed on record of
having violated the law as reported by a citizen. Mr. Vogel reported
that the city hopes to put a sidewalk down Plaza in the near future.
Mrs. Ruth Gregg, 905 Sailfish Drive, wanted to know why the blind
corners in Royal Palms Subdivision have not been cleared? She
stated that the scrubbery was particularly high at Sailfish and Plaza;
Redfin and Royal Palms. Mr. Vogel stated that he would check these
two corners and see what could be done.
Correspondence
Mayor Pro Tem Rosborough read a letter from Mrs . Sandra Bragan,
14443 Stacey Road, Jacksonville Beach, requesting that something be
done about the dogs running loose on the beach. He stated that the
City of Atlantic Beach does not have a lease law, but the dogs should
be under voice command. The city uses the service of Animal Control
from Jacksonville. Anyone wishing to report stray dogs should call
the Chief of Police and they will relay the complaint to Animal
Control.

Mrs. Knight requested permission to attend the City Clerk' s Seminar
April 6-9th in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was moved by Commissioner
Cook, seconded by Commissioner Fogg and carried that Mrs. Knight be
given permission to attend. The vote was
Ayes - Commissioners Cook,Fogg and Mayor Pro Tem Rosbcrough
Pass - Mayor Howell
Mr. Vogel stated that in our existing zoning ordinance everything,
other than Residence AA, refers back to Residence A in regard to
set back lines. Residence A requires not less than 20 feet. A
problem will arise if a subdivider exceeds the set back line by 5 or
10 feet. If someone wants to invade that line based cn our ordi-
nance with a 20 foot set back, this will create an outset in the
block. Mr. Vogel stated that the ordinance should be amended to
eliminate future problems. Mayor Howell stated that if a deed
restriction states that you cannot build closer than 25 feet to the
line, and the city regulation is 20 feet, theoretically, the city
could issue a building permit. At some point in time, if this piece
of property is sold, the owner will have difficulty with title in-
surance because he has violated the deed restrictions that he agreed
to when he bought the property. Mayor Howell stated that if the
City Commission has approved the plat showing a building restriction
line that is 25 feet, even though our ordinance states 20 feet, this
would indicate that the approval of the plat would take precedence
over a city ordinance because the commission approved a different
set back line. The city should amend the set back restrictions to
provide that they will be not less than 20 or 25 feet unless the
building restriction line as shown on the plat of a subdivision or
deed restriction indicate that they shall be greater. The deed
restriction should be respected as long as they are greater than
what the city requires.
Mayor Howell stated that the city has received a letter from Mr.
Sayes, Local Government Assistant Specialist, Department of Com-
munity Affairs recommending that the city officially apply for the
HUD 701 Planning Assistance Fund. Mr. Sayes recommended that the
city initiate a comprehensive planning program. Also included in
this recommendation was a synopsis of assessments listing the sug-
gested work elements. Mayor Howell stated that the next step will be
for the city to contact a planning consultant to aid in developing
the proposed work program. This proposed work program and estimated
cost should be submitted by February 21, 1975. He stated that the
city is going to have to contact three or four consultants in order

for them to prepare a proposal to submit before the deadline. Due
to the time element, a special call meeting might become necessary.
There being no further business Mayor Pro Tem Rosborough declared
