(1) sewer service can be had from the Royal Palms sewer line,
and he thinks we should ask them to deposit money with the City
to build 'the-line to Royal Palms line; (2) it is built close
to the property lines with no access- they have a 10' in rear
dedicated to themselves - but he thinks we should have a 15'
alley easment across back for access to service the stores acid
for utility extensions . It was discussed following which Dr.

there is one set up in the budget. He has received some in-
formation from a company in Atlanta relative to some trucks

ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA
August 7, 1961
Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners,
City of Atlantic Beach,
Atlantic Beach, Florida
Gentlemen: Re: Park and Playground-Fire Station
On July 24, 1961 the San Pablo Landscaping Company, by Fred L. Ahern,
President, requested Saltair Holding Company to convey to the City of At-
lantic Beach certain lots in Saltair subdivision for a proposed park and
playground just West of the City Fire Station. Copy of this letter was pre-
sented to the City Commission at its last meeting on July 24, 1961. This
request was based on a sketch prepared by Walter J. Parks, Consulting En-
gineer, showing a tentative layout for a replat of the part of Saltair
subdivision based on the typical lot size of 70 x 100' . This sketch has
been revised by Mr. Park's office to include all of the area Northerly of
Seaspray Avenue and West of Seminole Road. Copy of this revised sketch
is attached.
The establishment of the park and playground with the proposed boun-
dary lines makes necessary a new street alignment and at the same time
permits a better utilization of the land. It also makes possible an in-
crease of average lot area from 5,000 square feet to approximately 7,000
square feet. The proposed street widths in the new layout are based on
maintaining the 50 foot street width as established in the old Saltair
subdivision. In these respects the proposed layout does not meet the
requirements of the City's present subdivision ordinance, however, it
represents a major improvement as compared to layout provided by the
present recorded plat of Saltair, Section 2, per Plat Book 10, page 15.
The conveyance of the lots to the City necessitates at this time
the approval in principle by the City Commissioners of the sketch of
the proposed replat.
According to the foregoing you will find attached Warranty Deed dated
July 27, 1961, executed by the Saltair Holding Company and containing a
reverter clause to the effect that upon the discontinuance of the use of
the land for recreation, park or other public purposes it shall revert
to Saltair Holding Company, its successors and assigns.
Respectfully yours,
