Commissioner Moore explained that as president of the Stonewall Property Owners Association, he visited with Mr. Cruz regarding his proposed plans. He then noted the Association met
and reviewed those plans, voting to recommend approval to the City of Jacksonville Board of Adjustment. He stated that the Association Board ruled that the patio extension with roof
line has to remain an open porch type structure and cannot be modified at anytime during construction or in perpetuity to become a closed section addition to the house according to
the Stonewall Property Owners Association Bill of Assurance.
