Advisory Planning Board
Commissioner Van Ness reported that they had met with Mr. Gould several
nights ago and they were in compliance with the schedule and ready to
roll with the 701 project.
City Manager's Report
Mr. Davis advised that new construction in the City of Atlantic Beach,
along with a program of reworking and/pr replacing water meters due to
mineral content contained in the City's water supply made it necessary
to request permission from the Commission to purchase 100 water meters
under the current City of Jacksonville contract with Rockwell Inter-
national. Approximate cost for 100 meters is $3,000, and he said
adequate funds for the purchase are contained within the budget of the
City.
Motion:Approve the purchase of 100 water meters under the current Jensen x
City of Jacksonville contract with Rockwell International Mhoon x
for the approximate amount of $3,000. Minton k x

he was in the audience to request a change in location of Building
"B" due to a need for better security by relocating the building
on the back side of the property. Mr. Ash could adequately control
entry into and out of the complex by the relocation.

B. Mr. Joseph 0. Shaffer re extension of City water lines on Maypor.
Road to proposed Cypress Cove (Located on Assis Lane)
Mr. Joseph 0. Shaffer, President Arms Corp. of Jax Realtors, re-
quested permission to extend the City lines on Mayport Road to thei`-
proposed new project located on Assis Lane, to be known as Cypress
Cove. He further requested Commission approval to install a master
meter at the project to enable them to control the water system
distribution and metering as they expect to build a temporary sewer
system until such time that sewer facilities are available. The
company will develop and ultimately build approximately one thous-
and residential units in the area. Mayor Howell queried Mr. Shaffe-
as to why he wanted a master meter. Mr. Shaffer answered that this
would provide them with the ability to turn the water off if sewer
bills were not paid. The Mayor disapproved of the master meter saying
that would take the control of the water completely out of the City's
hands, and offered the suggestion that perhaps the City could bill
the sewer charges on the City's water bills. He also reminded Mr.
Shaffer that Arms Corp. of Jax Realtors would have to pay all charges
of the line; they will be built to the City's specifications, and
Mr. Shaffer or Arms Corp. cannot at any time in the future expect
to recover any portion of the cost. Mr. Shaffer advised that he
was aware of the stipulation. Mayor Howell suggested that Mr.Davis
draw some type of legal agreement with Mr. Shaffer concerning the
City handling the billing of sewer charges. Commissioner Minton
voiced his objection and stated that he would like to see the legal
agreement on billing a private company's sewer charges before the
vote was cast.

Unfinished Business
A. George Bull re Selva Marina Garden (Reconsideration)
Mayor Howell announced that at the last meeting a motion was approved
to reconsider Mr. George Bull's proposed plans for Selva Marina
Garden and the subject was now up for reconsideration.

Unfinished Business - continued - George Bull - Selva Marina Garden
Motion:Approve the Selva Marina Garden subdivision, with the Minton x
condition that the streets are dedicated to the City of Van Ness x
Atlantic Beach and subject to final approval of the streets
and utility lines that must meet the specifications of
the code of the City of Atlantic Beach.
After the motion was seconded, the Mayor asked if there was any
discussion before the vote. A long discussion followed with most
of the audience objecting to the project. Mrs. William Stennett,
315 Country Club Lane, strongly objected, and expressed the opinion
that the public was not properly informed of the style of construc-
tion. She objected to the increased water usage, and increased
traffic down Seminole Road. The Mayor commented that the proposal
was advertised and the property posted. The new water plant has
been in operation for the past year, and the City no longer has a
water problem. Mr. James Valenti, 1912 Oak Circle, asked Commissioner
Van Ness what prompted her to change her mind and ask for a recon-
sideration. She outlined that the plan was first presented to the
Commission in December, and had periodically come up since. She
specified that she had never objected to the patio home concept, bu:
at the meeting following the public hearing she voted no because
she wanted the City of Atlantic Beach to have property rights to
the streets. This is an expense to the City, but protects the
residents that live there. Commissioner Van Ness added that later
she met with Mr. Bull alone, and he agreed to dedicate the streets
if a reconsideration was moved. Mr. Valenti remarked that he did
not perceive any benefit to the city or to the adjoining landowners
that would accrue by reason of the proposed subdivision, but he
did see many concerns. He also added that patio homes usually have
adjacent recreational facilities, whereas these have none. Several
residents complained because of no architectural renditions sub-
mitted. Mr. Bull answered that this was done at the public hearing,
and that two and possibly three builders would be involved. Mr.
Valenti stated that with two or three builders constructing anythin;
they chose, the subdivision would only be a hodge-podge. A
petition opposing the application of Mr. Bull's was presented to the
Commission and received by the Mayor to be filed for information
purposes. The question was raised if the commercial tract was
still under consideration, and Commissioner Van Ness answered no,
the matter had been voted down. Mr. Bull added that the commercial
tract had been deleted from the new covenants and restrictions.
Commissioner Jensen declared that a clear showing had been made
and called for a show of hands from the audience objecting to Mr.
Bull's proposal. for the patio homes. Almost all raised hands. He
then expressed the opinion that the Commissioners should respond
to the wishes of the residents that elected them to their office.
He added that lots 19 and 28 right next to Seminole Road will not
have two houses joined together in the middle of a 100' lot. They
each will have one house completely against the most easterly line
of the development on a lot size 45 x 95 - 4,275 sq.ft. , and the
minimum for the code of the City of Atlantic Beach is 7,500
square feet. He listed several other reasons
PAGE FOUR V V
MINUTES Names of

Unfinished Business - continued - Bull
for his objection to patio homes in that area. He referred to Sec.
28-17.1 Planned Unit Development of the city's zoning code, sub-
section C, sub-paragraph 3 as a key point and quoted "The area
shall be adaptable to a planned unit development and bounded by
major thoroughfares, streets, waterways or other external boundarie. ,
and as far as possible shall have within or through it no major
thoroughfares or other physical features which would tend to destro,
the neighborhood or community cohesiveness." Commissioner Mhoon
expressed the opinion that the project would be a dangerous hodge-
podge. There are no plans for a play area for the children,and par
ing could present a problem for emergency vehicles. He once again
stated that he visualized seeing garbage cans, drive-ways full of
cars, and children on bicycles running into each other on the stree .
Commissioner Mhoon added that if the Commission approved this type
of subdivision it would open the door for other developers to
apply for patio homes, and he was highly opposed to zero lot line
construction. Discussion also followed on the city's sewer capacit,
and the additional traffic on Seminole Road. Following the discussi.n
Mayor Howell stated that he could see nothing basically wrong with
the development, that Mr. Bull had a valid project that would not
utilize any more water and utilities than any other project and
that even though many persons would like to see zero growth, it
simply can't be that way any more.
