The new development, called Lighthouse Point Darius Leonard Colts Jersey , will consist of 37 townhouses designed in a West Indies tradition, and will sell from $650,000 to 1.5 million. Residents will
also have the opportunity to own a boat slip on the property.
After denying a proposal to construct an 80' high, 94 unit condominium on the property
two years ago, the city of Jacksonville Beach approved this project as the
buildings fall under the cities 35 foot height limit Quenton Nelson Colts Jersey , a restriction passed overwhelmingly by voters in the 2004 election that has until now been seldom enforced.
The trend in Jacksonville Beach has been for developers to buy up large parcels of land, tear
down the existing structures, and put up 7 to 10 story condominiums. As a
result, many of the popular restaurants and night spots that helped define the
character of Jacksonville Beach have disappeared.
The most recent casualty was the First Street Grille, an oceanfront eatery and gathering place
at 7th Ave. North. First Street Grille closed on January 1st after hosting a
huge new year's party attended by many local patrons of the establishment. First
Street Grille will be fondly remembered for its excellent Florida
cuisine T.Y. Hilton Colts Jersey , it's popular happy hours, and for the dancing behind the dunes to the tunes of live oldies bands.
A circuit judge ruled in October that the developer who owned the property, Lee Underwood, had vested
rights in the parcel because his decision to purchase the land was based on the
government's position about the properties present and future status. A similar
case was decided on January 9th, allowing developer Scott Gay the go ahead for a
10 story condominium at 10th Ave and 1st Street. Several other property rights
cases are currently pending in the courts.
Arising from the dust of the First Street Grille will be the Acquilus III Andrew Luck Colts Jersey , a seven story oceanfront condominium. Underwood also owns the property across the street on which the Dolphin Depot is located. An old two
story beach house that was transformed into a restaurant, the Dolphin Depot is a
popular upscale dining establishment with a very creative menu. According to the
same judge that ruled on the First Street Grille property, the rights for this
parcel are not vested. Nevertheless, one could safely assume that the Dolphin
Depots days are also numbered.
In early 2004, a proposal to develop Beach Marine T.J. Green Youth Jersey , the public marina across the street from the Lighthouse Grill, into a 550 unit condominium resort and private yacht club was soundly
defeated by city council. As a result spawned the group Beaches Watch, a
collection of Jacksonville Beach citizens that began the citizen's initiative, a
referendum requiring a city wide height limit of 35 feet on all new
construction. The city council proposed a similar amendment, but would allow
high rise construction on the oceanfront only. In November Marlon Mack Youth Jersey , the citizens initiative won by an overwhelming majority of over 70%.
High rise construction and development in general has by no means slowed in Jacksonville Beach since the vote. Seven to ten story
condominiums are presently being erected from 3rd to 1st Streets as investors
continue to win their vested property rights in the courts.
While Jacksonville Beach is quickly becoming a world class destination, many of the
locals will have to find alternative places to meet and hang out, perhaps going
north out of the city to Atlantic and Neptune Beach where the casual ambience
and beaches lifestyle does not seem to be threatened.
