Supporters for Tyson’s Ancestral Restriction of the Deeds (STARD)

STARD serves as the voice of the Atlantic Beach property owners that want to protect the historical significance, heritage, values and identity of the community of Atlantic Beach. The property owners of Atlantic Beach are organized as STARD (Supporters for Tyson’s Ancestral Restriction of the Deeds).

STARD is committed to the type of development that protects the town’s historic character and is based on restrictive covenants put in place by the town’s founder George W Tyson in the 1930s. These restrictive covenants allow for “one residential dwelling per lot”, along the Atlantic Beach oceanfront. The covenants are the catalyst that gives the property owners a voice in shared goals and consensus-building between all stakeholders for planned development.

STARD is dedicated to gaining support for new residential development along the four block Atlantic Beach coastline in line with the Tyson deed restrictions and entrepreneurial economic development for a small-town, walkable, main street along the 30th Street commercial corridor.

STARD aims to protect the vital coastal ecosystem, prevent alteration and degradation of the beachfront and prevent the obliteration of its distinctive coastline by keeping the beach unmarred by massive condominium/hotels blocking the view of the Atlantic Ocean.
