Grage, City Clerk The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr. Olsen.. The Invocation was given by the Rev, Donald M. Mackay, Pastor of the Beach Methodist Church. Mr.. Olsen called for any corrections or additions to the minutes of the meeting of September 27th, 1965. There being none Mr. Olsen declared the minutes approved as written. Mr. Olsen recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor. Mrs. Ralph Kinman who owns property on Main Street advised that they still do not have City water and are very desirous of getting it. There was a lengthy discussion of the distance pipe will have to be run, what size pipe is needed, and what the estimated prospective number of customers is. Following the discussion Mr. Olsen asked Commissioners Parks and Weldon and City Manager Craig to investigate the overall situation and come up with fig- ures as to the cost and than see if can be included in next year's budget. Mrs. Harry Bradley commented on the dog situation in her neigh- borhood. Mr. Olsen requested Mr. Craig to bring the matter to the attention of the Jacksonville Humane Society, who has contract with the City to pick up dogs and _to keep check on the situation. in Atlantic Beach Villa. Mr. Olsen asked for any further business from the floor and there was none. There was no definite report regarding the dedication of the playground area - Jack Russell Park - as it was thought that it could be handled better when the elections in all the communities are over. Mr. Moore advised that he would yield his place on the committee to a successor. Minutes 1011-65, Page #2 Mr. Wm. Morgan presented an application from the owners, Messrs. Winston and Culverhouse, for a permit to build an appartment com- plex on Tract B of Hotel Reservation and the 120 foot additional parcel rezoned by Ordinance #90-65-26. Mr. Morgan, who is archi- tect for the project, also presented the plans and specifications on same and advised that these plans have the approval stamp of the Hotel and Restaurant Commission. The owners plan to deed to the City an irregular sized strip along the east side of Ocean Blvd. to straighten the curve some and also a utility easment. Mr. Morgan gave a comprehensive explanation of the plans and specifications and answered questions as to access and parking, as well as roof parapets, fire walls, heating and airconditioning which will be a chilled water system with the machinery for same located in the basement to the hotel, traffic flow, drainage, etc. After full discussion Mr. Weldon moved that the plans with changes as indicated by the City Manager be accepted and approved by the Commission and that permit be issued subject to the deeds and other proposals of conveyance being received and approved by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Goodling. Mr. Craig stated that the modification covered changing the storm sewer plan from sheet 16 to sheet 2 and make the changes in drainage in compli- ance with Mr. Parks" recommendations. There was a discussion as to the size water meter required. They have requested a 6" com- pound meter, but Mr. Parks advised that he thinks that a 4"meter in all probability would conceivably be adequate. Mr. Morgan will check with their engineer, Mr. James Sampson regarding the size of water meter. In the discussion it was stated that the building permit will be for valuation of $700,000.00 at cost of $695.00 for the permit. Following discussion Mr. Olsen put the question and the motion was carried. The permit will be issued subject to the stipulations in the motion. Mr. Bill Donnell discussed with the Commission the land usage of the 35 foot strip lying north of the Humble Oil station on Royal Palms Drive, on which he requests permit to build a building as discussed at last meeting. Following a discussion as to fire exits, parking, street access, and the fact that when the prop- erty was rezoned to Business B it was the understanding that it was to be used for a service station, Mr, Parks moved that the matter be referred to the Advisory Planning Board for xecommendar tion and report, seconded by Mr. Gooding atnd carried. Mr. Craig will advise Mr. Donnell when the Board will meet so that he may be present if he wishes. A letter was read from the Comptroller, Mr. Fred Dickinson, ex- pressing appreciation Of the cooperation given the State of Flori. da Comptroller' s ofice as regards reports and cigarette tax monies. Minutes 10-11-65, Page #3 A letter was presented from the Jacksonville-Duval Area Planning Board advising they were forwarding Mayor Olsen reports and maps relating to population, economy and land use in Duval County. A letter was presented from the Florida League of Municipalities giving information on the Annual Convention being held in Miami on October 24, 25, and 26, 1965. If any of the Commissioners are in the area at that time, perhaps they could attend some of the sessions. Mr. Olsen recommended that we ask the Executive Secre- tary keep in mind- with discretion- a possible replacement for Mr. Craig. The above letters were received for information and filing. Mr. Olsen next read Ordinance #90-65-28 in full, Said Ordinance covering the re-zoning of Lots 1, 3, 5,and 7, Block 9 from Residence "B" to Residence "C" was posted and advertised for Public Hearing in line with charter requirements. Copy of Certified proof of Publication is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. The Mayor then declared the meeting in session for Public Hearing on said ordinance. Among those appearing against the ordinance were Messrs. John Bell, Richard Riley, Jack Sperry, Tom Brown, Robert Sullivan, Mrs. Angus Dunlop, Mrs. Robt. Williams. Mr. Bell presented letters from Mrs. Dena Glass, Mr. & Mrs. A.G. High- tower and Mrs. Ann Lucas asking that their names be withdrawn from Mrs. Keith' s petition. Some of the objections were that they do not want any further extension of Residence "C" zone, the streets are too narrow for the traffic which would be result, if re-zoned they had heard that a four unit apartment could be built on each lot, and that to re-zone to Residence "C" would lower the value of their property. Mr. Goodling presented a study which showed what could and could not be accomplished on the pro- perty. If used as one parcel a maximum of 11 apartments could be built in line with our ordinance requirements and if sold as single lots you could only build one unit to each lot if Residence "C". Mrs. Keeth and Mr. Henry spoke for the resoning and advised they had others who would have come but they thought their peti- tion was sufficient. Mrs. Keeth and Mr. Henry advised that their purpose and interest in bringing to-gether was to have a building that would be a credit rather than 4 single duplexes. It was brought out in the discussion that an 8 or 10 unit apartment would come under the periodic inspection of the Florida Hotel and Restaurant Commission, whereas duplexes would be maintained however owner liked. There was further discussion following which Mr. Olsen closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Goodling then moved the adoption of Ordinance #90-65-28 on second and final reading, seconded by Mr. Weldon. Mr. Olsen ex- pressed belief that until further study is made that Ocean Blvd. Minutes 10-11-65, Page #4 should be the limit for Residence "C". Mr. Goodling stated we are faced with decision as to why some of zoning was established in this area, that we have a property owner who is determined to sell and as now zoned we have little control over, but if zoned Residence "C" believe we would have some restrictions that the Commissions could and should exercise. He does not feel we are establishing a precedent, as the property neighbors on an apart- ment on the south, a duplex on the west and streets on other two sides. Following further discussion Mr. Olsen put the question and the callrvote was Aye: Goodling, Moore, Weldon Nay: Parks, Olsen Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried and Ordinance #90-65-28 adopted on second and final reading. Mrs. Grage announced the officials for the General Election on October 19th, 1965 will be: Mrs. Charlotte Gorman, Clerk and the Inspectors will be Mrs. Cynthia Whittlesey, Mrs. Lillian Cave, and Mrs. Louise Lauwaert. The County is furnishing two machines- which will cost no more than one and will provide at least one machine in case one should break down. Mr. Craig requested approval of expenditure of approximately $1, 800.00 from Account #1501 to cover purchase of 6" meter for apartments. There was a discussion following which Mr. Parks moved authorization and approval of appropriation of funds and installation of this meter for amount not to exceed $1, 800.00, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. A contract for the year 1965-66 was presented from the East Duval County Mosquito Control covering landfill. There is an increase of $43.75 in the annual fee, due to our increase in garbage ser- vices. Mr. Weldon stated that the clause which obligates the Mosquito Cpntrol District to cover each day the deposit for that day- to his knowledge- has not been and is not being complied with, and requested that a letter be written to the Mosquito Control asking that this clause be complied with. There was further discussion and since presently working on 1966 budget, and this contract is not effective until December 1st, also would like to check on Waste Disposal service, Mr. Goodling moved that the contract be referred to a committee, no second and it was decided to hold in abeyance for the time being until can study in a group. Chief Vogel submitted copies of Municipal Court dockets for Octo- ber 4th and 11th, 1965 which were received for filing. There was a discussion of cars on the beach and permanent barricades, but no action was taken. . Minutes 10-11-65, Page #5 Mr. Craig advised that he had been designated as Representat .ve for United Fund Drive in Atlantic Beach and expects to turn in collections from business establishments in the near future. He also advised that steps at street ends so designated have not all been removed. Mr. Goodling asked regarding sign on public property advertising private business - at Seminole Rd. and Atlantic Blvd.- and don't think we should establish precedent. Mr. Olsen advised owner should be notified to move it. Mrs. Kinman requested a street sign at Main St. and Atlantic Blvd. It was agreed that a sign should be placed at this location, and Mr. Craig was asked to check out. There was a discussion as to the past due special sewer assess- ments and Mr. Thompson advised that he could go no further until the Commission authorized expenditure of funds for title search on the properties involved. If people do not respond and pay then there is no other alternative, as it is not fair to the peo- ple who have paid not to insist on collection. Mr. Weldon moved that authorize the expenditure for making necessary title search and proceed with effective collection, seconded by Mr. Goodling, and carried.Tt was also' advised . that we should recover the as- sessment plus interest and costs. Mr. Thompson advised he does not know what cost will be but he will get the best price he can. There being no further business the meeting was declared adjourn- ed by Mayor Olsen.
