Recognition of Visitors
Mayor Howell recognized Mrs. Ruth Gregg, who asked the
Commission to enforce Ordinance #90-74-64 passed 6/24/74
covering more than 1 family living in a single family
dwelling. The Mayor agreed to send copies of the Ordinance
to the Real Estate board and request distribution to the
local agencies.
Correspondence
The chair recognized Mr. Vincent J. Pastore, who gave a
brief description with pictures of his proposed townhouses
now under construction in North Atlantic Beach. He inquired
as to the possibility of being served water by the City of
Atlantic Beach, instead of purchasing a water plant
capable of producing 10, 000 gallons per day. The Mayor
informed Mr. Pastore the City would be pleased to serve
the townhouses outside the City providing he could wait
until the City ' s new water plant is assured, and Mr. Pastore
had acquired approval of the permitting agencies.

Unfinished Business
A. The Mayor recognized Mr. Ed Ashurian, who informed
the Commission he would like to appeal a decision of
the City Inspector to deny him permission to obtain
permits for signs advertising homes on Belvedere. He
showed pictures of signs (which he felt violated the
Code) at other locations to support his appeal . Mayor
Howell stated that directional signs under certain
conditions were authorized. After a lenghty discussion,
the Commission agreed that Mr. Ashurian could only
have 4 directional signs not on public property, 3 ' x
4 ' , 1000 ' apart, and provided application was made
therefor in accord with the Code. Permission to erect
a sign on Atlantic Boulevard advertising Windsor Homes
was denied. The latter sign would be permitted when
construction of the business office on the property
was underway. Commissioner Mhoon requested Mr. Paul
Steckla to investigate each allegation of sign violationp
Mr. Ashurian presented to the Commission and to report
back at the next meeting. Commission agreed.
B. Mr. Parks - Public Works
Mr. Parks informed the Commission the plans should be
ready to advertise for bids by March 15, 1977, that
bid proposals should be returned by April 15, and that
construction should commence by May 4, 1977 .

Miscellaneous Business
Mayor Howell suggested to the Commission that a study
be undertaken with the view of reducing the electric
utility tax imposed by the City of Atlantic Beach. He
stated that the two rate increases announced by JEA
would result in an obvious windfall to the City and that
lowering the tax will have the effect of reducing the

gross payment for electricity charged to the Citizens
of Atlantic Beach. The Commission agreed unanimously
and instructed the City Manager to report back at the
next meeting on March 14, 1977, with a determination
of the lowest reduction that is feasible for the
Commission ' s consideration.
There being no further business, Mayor Howell declared
that the meeting be adjourned. /ce
