RE : APPLICATION FOR "USE BY EXCEPTION" TO BUILD TWO SINGLE-FAMILY
TOWNHOMES ON LOT 8 , BLOCK 9 , ATLANTIC BEACH SUBDIVISION "A" , PLAT
BOOK 5 , PAGE 69 CURRENT PUBLIC RECORDS OF DUVAL COUNTY , FLORIDA .
The petitioner is asking for equitable relief from a hardship
resulting from actions by the City of Atlantic Beach , and not from
actions by the petitioner .
During the 1970 ' s the area in question was rezoned RS-2 , ( single -
family detached ) , whereas the area southwards from the middle of
Block 6 , was Zoned RG-1 ( duplexes and townhomes ) ; this in spite of
the fact that the two areas contained a somewhat similar mix of
duplexes and single-family homes .
As a result , the property , the subject of this appeal , was
isolated with duplexes to the North , the West and across the
street , and with a five-unit apartment building adjoining it to
the West whose rear windows , with washing hanging out to dry ,
overlook and dominate the property . ( See maps and photos . )
The attached zoning map shows that , where an intensive apartment
use exists (RG-2 or RG-3 ) , there is typically a buffer zone of RG-
1 between it and RS zoning ; this is because nobody would wish to
have a detached single-family residence in the shadow of an
apartment complex . The divisions of the southerly part of the City
are typical of responsible zoning ; CG ( commercial ) gives way to
RG-2 , then to RG-1 , then to RS-2 , providing a reasonable
transition from the most intensive to the least intensive uses .
Rare exceptions , such as "The Cloisters " , generally have open
spaces and streets between them and adjoining properties .
The owner bought the property with the idea of building something
for her family ; subsequently she moved to Washington with her
husband and has attempted to sell it since then for use as a
single-family detached building site . After 21 months on the
market she has had no offers at any price , as prospective
purchasers do not want to be surrounded by rental properties , and
especially by the overpowering 5 -unit building adjacent .
Mr . Frank Thrower is willing to purchase the property if he can be
allowed to build two attached townhomes , designed for owner-
occupancy , not rental , of which plans and photographs are
attached ; the homes would have enclosed garages and additional
parking space far in excess of the facilities available on the
adjoining sites . They would greatly enhance the appearance of the
area , as the site would provide a buffer between the apartments
and the westerly lots which could eventually be improved with
single-family detached homes when the existing old duplexes reach
the end of their economic life .
This solution would solve the owner ' s problem without any adverse
impact on the area , and would in fact help to promote the
transition from rental to owner-occupancy .
