(storm and waste water) and other engineering concepts prior to
submitting to the Commission for its ' ultimate approval. Mr. Davis

on April 24, 1978, that the City is planning to apply for Federal
funding of a three-year comprehensive grant program for smaller
communities through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Mr. Goll specified that the available areas for funding were North

of Levy Road and South of Church Road on the East and West sides of
Mayport Road. He reported that progress had been made for the 1977-
78 pre-application, and the preliminary plans and cost estimates had
been received from Mr. Parks for water and sewer expansion including
a lift station and various engineering improvements. Mr. Goll
recommended the revised proposal include a neighborhood clean-up
program, re-application for a Community Center, and water and sewer
expansion only with no street paving at this time. Mayor Howell the
opened the floor for a public hearing and invited any questions from
the audience. Mr. Willie Miley, 1990 Park Street, inquired as to the
location of the proposed water and sewer expansions. Mr. Coll
replied that the majority of the expansion would be in the Donner
Subdivision on the west side of Mayport Road. Mr. George Bull, Sr. ,
inquired why street pavement had been deleted from the original
proposal and Mr. Coll stated the expense would be too great at this
time. There being no further questions, the Mayor declared the
Public Hearing closed.
Motion: Authorize Mr. R. A. Coll to submit a
pre-application for the City to the Jensen x x

Mr. Davis commented that he had personally surveyed the location and
determined that there is a blind corner as you approach from the
west going east. The City Manager stated the Chief of Police was
prepared to report on the situation. Chief Stucki reported that the
northwest corner is completely blind to traffic traveling east on
11th Street. A survey was made as to the legality of the shurbbery
and fence on the property that creates the blind corner. The Chief
expressed the opinion of the City Attorney that nothing could be don:
to force the property owners to remove the obstructions, and,
therefore, recommended, due to the heavy growth of that area, that
4-way stop signs be installed at that location.
Motion: Install four-way stop signs at 11th Jensen x x
Street and East Coast due to blind Van Ness x x
corners. Howell x

B. George Mills - Saltair Lot 323
The chair recognized Mr. George Mills who offered to swap Lot 323,
Saltair Subdivision, owned by him, for Lot 324, Saltair Subdivision,
owned by the City of Atlantic Beach. The Mayor explained that this
would give the City another contiguous lot for the nature park. Mayr
Howell queried the City Attorney for an opinion, and Mr. Ball asked
if Mr. Mills was in receipt of a title insurance binder for clear
title, and the reply was in the negative. Mr. Mills stated that his
attorney, Mr. John Helms, could present the binder the next day. 4
Mr. Ball then recommended that the City execute the exchange of lots
by Resolution, subject to his review of the binder.
Motion: The City exchange corner Lot 324, Saltair Jensen x x
Subdivision, for Lot 323, Saltair Subdivi- Van Ness x x
sion, by Resolution No. 78-9, subject to Howell x

Commissioner Van Ness apprised the Commission that she had just
returned from a FRPA convention and learned of something that would
be of great benefit to the Community, namely a Vita Parcours
(jogging area). She further noted this area could be constructed fo
a nominal amount of money. The Vita Parcours would be in the natura
state winding around from 1 to 2 miles with as many as 20 stations
along the way for exercising. Mr. Goll injected that he would mail
literature on this to her the next day. Mayor Howell suggested that
