Dear Mr. Wolfson,
This letter serves as confirmation that the property known as PT GOVT LOT 7 RECD 0/R 5349-

Roadway as shown according to PLAT BOOK 15, PAGE 10, NORTH ATLANTIC BEACH UNIT NO 01,
and recorded in the Public Records of Duval County on January 4, 1934, is a legally established
non-conforming lot of record. The property is zoned Residential General (RG) and is designated
Residential, Low Density by the adopted Comprehensive Plan for the City of Atlantic Beach.
As such, Section 24-85(b)(1) of the Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations (LDR)
provides that the subject property may be developed with a single-family residence and typical
accessory structures, provided the minimum yard requirements for the RG Zoning District are
maintained, or provided that the owner of the lot obtains a variance from the Community
Development Board in accordance with the requirements of Section 24-64 of the same LDRs.
Sections 24-108(e)-(f) provide the minimum yard requirements and building restrictions for the
RG Zoning District as follows:

district, and applied to the maximum building height for the same zoning district. In this
case, it would be[(3500/5000)x 35], or 24.5'.
