Recognition of Visitors
The chair recognized Mr. Heath Whittle, 1251 Selva Marina Circle, who
asked for a clarification of the meaning and why a sign was erected on
he median of Selva Marina Circle. He also asked if the sign could be
removed. The City Manager replied that a request was made at the
last meeting for the City Commission to take some action to alleviate
the noise problem existing from the children using the park as a play-
ground. Mr. Davis also answered yes to the question -could the sign be
removed. Mayor Howell recognized Mr. John Westbury, 1421 Seminole Rd. ,
who stated he lived at the foot of the circle under discussion. He
voiced the opinion that a vicious dog belonging to one of the residents
living on the circle created more problems than the children. After a
short discussion, the decision was made for the City Manager to hold a
meeting with all the residents residing on the particular circle and
resolve the problem.
Correspondence
Mr. Davis advised that Scotty Thornton had called him to extend an
invitation to all library friends to attend a meeting to be held at the
library on February 13, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. Then at 8:00 P.M. the meeting
would move to the City Hall in Jacksonville Beach for further discussion
on providing more library service for the Beaches.
Advisory Planning Board
The City Manager reported that the Advisory Planning Board held a meeting
on January 29, 1979 to consider a petition by Mr. Mike Ash. The petition
as denied on the basis of the density of the areas involved. Mr. Davis
stated that Mr. Ash had since requested that the matter be removed from
the agenda of the City Commission and that he would present further plans
at some point in the future. Mayor Howell instructed this be filed for record,
and stated that Mr. Ash's application for a 16-unit apartment complex under
PUD had been withdrawn,

New Business
A. Mrs. Judy Jacobson
Mrs. Judy Jacobson introduced herself as the President of the North
Beaches Association, an organization formed last fall, and outlined
the plans and objectives of the organization. She offered an open
invitation to all citizens of Atlantic Beach to attend their meetings
pd noted that membership is welcome.
B. Mr. George Bull, Sr. re approval of Selva Marina Unit 12B
Mr. George Bull, Sr. offered for approval the plat for Selva Marina
Unit 12-B and requested acceptance by the City. Mr. Bull noted that
the plat was part of the fifty acre tract approved by the Commission
on June 12, 1978 with a Public Hearing. Mr. Bull also submitted for
approval the covenants and restrictions covering Unit 12-B, and ex-
plained that they were identical to Units 11, 12, and 12A. Mr. Bull
further noted that the utilities on Units 10A and 10B were now
completed to the satisfaction of the designing engineer and inspections
by the City. Commissioner Van Ness asked Mr. Bull if the streets
would be wide enough for fire and garbage trucks, and the latter
answered in the affirmative, with the exception of the cul-de-sac.
The trucks would possibly have to back in. Mayor Howell stated that
Mr. Bull's request for approval of the plat would have nothing to do
with the actual paving as there are sixty foot right-of-ways planned.
Discussion followed concerning street widths, paving, and turning
radiuses, and the covenants and restrictions.

mately three months, until their permanent structure is completed.

D. Mr. George Bull, Jr , re re-subdivision of Lots 5 and 6, BLK 39
The Mayor stated that Mr. Bull, Jr. had requested a re-subdivision of
Lots 5 and 6, Block 39 from a present East-West situation to a North-
South situation. He noted that a similar request on the same lots
had been brought before the Commission on April 28, 1975, by the then
owner Mrs. Ann Moench, and the request was denied in-as-much as such
action was in violation of the Ordinances of the City of Atlantic
Beach. Mr. Bull asked why it was in violation and the Mayor quoted
Sec. 23-1 (2) of Chapter 23. After discussion, the following motion
was made.

February 12, 1979
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Tyson, Fancher & White has submitted an additional bill in the amount
of $2, 750 to cover audit expenses for fiscal year 1977-78 that was
unanticipated in their original quote for audit services. As you
will recall, the City was requested to adapt to the Uniform Accounting
System in which the services of Mr. Tyson were utilized. He also
prepared an annual financial report (post audit) that apparently
was over and above anticipated audit expenses. I respectfully request
approval to pay this bill.
The City is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Mike Ash withdrawing his
request to construct a 16-unit apartment complex at Sturdivant and
Poinsettia in Atlantic Beach. Mr. Ash states that he will resubmit
plans at a future date for reapplication.
Respectfully submitted,
