3. CITY MANAGER REPORTS
3.A. Accept the 90 -Day Calendar (Feb. - Apr. 2024)
CM Killingsworth reported on this item as detailed in the agenda packet.
There was a CONSENSUS to accept the 90 -Day Calendar.
3.11. • Dora Street Update
• 100 1st West Update
• 0 Mayport Road Update
• CIP Update
CM Killingsworth provided the following updates:
• Dora St. Update - Staff will continue to work on this project.
• 100 1 st W St. Update - The City has the appraisal, building inspection, and the
phase one environmental site assessment.
• 0 Mayport Road - Staff is looking to reject all bids and will take a look at how to
move forward. Mayor Ford requested that the just and assessed value be restated.
CM Killingsworth mentioned that he believes the appraised value was $75,000,
the just value is the market value which includes less closing costs, which is
$60,000, and the assessed value is believed to be $11,500.
• Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Updates:
1. There's about $222,000 in dune walkover maintenance and staff is looking at
rehabbing portions of 18th St.
2. The splash pad is $607,500, currently under construction, and estimated to be
completed March or April of this year.
3. The pickleball court is $90,000, the contract has been awarded and staff has held
a pre -construction meeting.
4. $200,000 has been set aside for the north fishing pier located at Dutton Island.
Regular City Commission
February 12, 2024
5. Dutton Island is $70,000 and staff has already graded part of the road and will be
working on design improvements.
6. Tideviews Park will be getting new decking and handrails.
7. $550,000 is set aside for repaving and the City is in the process of getting a
contract.
8. There's $125,000 set aside for sidewalk repairs.
9. Levy Road multi -use path is $609,000 and a notice has been sent to proceed for
March 12, 2024.
10. The lifeguard station has $560,000 in the budget that came from City of
Jacksonville. The design build estimate came out to approximately $1.2 million
dollars. The challenge is the drive thru, without the drive thru, the bathrooms will
be on the ground floor which means the opportunity to have a drive thru garage
goes away. Staff has discussed the options of appropriating money from the
reserves or reallocating the money from the Dora St. project for the lifeguard
station. Staff is recommending the reallocation of the Dora St. funds rather than
moving money from the reserves. The cost for this project continues to escalate,
they're coming up 100% or more than what was budgeted, staff would like to
lock in a price as soon as possible and start the project.
11. Public buildings rehab is $1.5 million, under construction, and there will be a
forthcoming resolution to adjust this because the goal is to work within the
existing budget.
12. Eight Day Door has been budgeted for $194,000, the grant has been approved,
and the doors are on order.
13. Aquatic Gardens is a $2.6 million project that was placed out for bid and no bids
were received. Contractors showed interest in wanting to do only one of the two
specialized pieces of work. Staff will be bifurcating this project and placing them
out for bid at the end of February.
14. Box Culver at Cutler's Drive is $82,000 and the RFQ is being evaluated.
15. The Public Works yard is $240,000, staff is planning on utilizing this budget to
fund the rehab for the public works building, and this project will be pushed
forward to the next budget year.
16. Staff is working on the contract for the annual drainage ditch maintenance to go
out to bid.
17. Mary St. Drainage improvement is $371,000.
CM Killingsworth, CE Swann, and PC Gualillo answered questions from the
Commission regarding the CIP updates.
The Commission recommended that CM Killingsworth have a survey done for the use

where Dora Street and the lifeguard station would financially place the City be brought
back, along with more information regarding these projects.

Commissioner Bole expressed his support for the ordinance and inquired about where the money

Killingsworth explained that it was his preference that the Commission was provided an option
that would allow the City to stay within the adopted budget. He mentioned that a third option
could be, to not move forward with 100 West St.; however, it was not recommended because
there was already an appropriation for the Dora project. Commissioner Ring expressed her
concerns with the Dora project and asked about the timing of the project. CM Killingsworth
expressed that he could not provide a response due to the counter proposal either being accepted
or rejected and then reaching a consensus on the project. Mayor Ford explained that clarification
would be provided once the impacts of each of the three projects are provided by CM
Killingsworth.
Commissioner Bole explained that this is the first reading of the ordnance and that no final
decisions are being made at this time.

Subject: Riparian or Vegetative Buffer Zone at the ICW
Attachments: Florida Statute 163.3202.pdf
Hello All - I wit[ be speaking on this topic tomorrow night and wanted everyone to be on the same page as we start
off. First of all, it is important that everyone know what a buffer is according to the City of Atlantic Beach. Below is
Amanda's response to me on that question.
50 -foot buffer:
The comp plan sets the goals, policies and objectives and we use the zoning code to implement them. The
codes (24-241) only require the 50' foot buffer for newly created lots after 2010. Existing lots of records are
exempt from the 50' but have to meet a 25' buffer. "In cases where the minimum twenty -five-foot buffer is
demonstrated to be unreasonable or impractical, an averaged twenty -five-foot undisturbed buffer with a
minimum no less than fifteen (15) feet may be provided."
My comments in this regard - This buffer is measured at the high water mark at a certain date in time.
So, what is wrong with this concept?
1. The idea seems to originate from Florida Statute 163.3202. That statute is referenced in the draft of
the 2030 Comprehensive plan under the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the plan. Under
Policy D.1.S.1 the plan states
"In accordance with Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes, the City shall maintain within its Land
Development Regulations establish the following:...
(b) A buffer zone of natural vegetation around wetland and deepwater habitats."
The big problem here is that Section 163.3202 does not anywhere mention a buffer zone.
I have attached a copy of that statute for your reference.
2. The high water mark moves. In fact on my property it has encroached 10 feet inland toward my
land in the last 15 years. While a concept of a buffer zone may work just fine when talking about
inland parks, the whole idea falls apart when the line for the buffer zone is moving, especially inward,
engulfing more and more of land owners land.
3 There has been a natural buffer zone between me and the water that has eroded by 10 feet over
the last 15 years, due to lack of shoring up the land. The natural buffer zone does not stop erosion,
which is our number one problem today.
4. The buffer zone would be policed by the city to make sure everyone is in compliance with the
regulation. No one on the marsh wants that.
Attachment A to
2-12-24 Minutes
I have spoken to several clients of mine that live on the ICW in Marsh Landing, one is an attorney. They assure
me no such regulation is being proposed in Marsh Landing, and if it were would be soundly defeated for the
reasons above, but most importantly because of eminent domain, which I will speak more about tomorrow.
Thank You - Joan

Parking Policy: Demarcating Parking Spaces
Purpose
Attachment B to
2-12-24 Minutes
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the demarcating of public parking spaces to ensure that
parking spaces are clearly marked and visible to motorists throughout Atlantic Beach to ensure that public
parking is efficient, safe and convenient for motorists.
Benefits of clearly demarcating parking spaces:
Improved Parking Efficiency: Clearly demarcated parking spaces make it easier for drivers to identify
vacant parking spaces, reducing the time spent searching and maneuvering. This leads to a more
efficient use of parking resources and reduced traffic congestion.
Enhanced Safety: Clearly demarcated parking spaces help drivers park accurately, reducing the risk of
collisions and property damage. Clearly demarcated parking spaces also help pedestrians navigate
parking areas safely.
Accessibility for All: Clearly demarcated parking spaces, including those designated for disabled
individuals and, ensure that all users have access to convenient and accessible parking options.
Aesthetics and Orderliness: Clearly demarcated parking spaces create a more organized and
aesthetically pleasing appearance, enhancing the overall environment of parking areas and
surrounding properties.
Clear Parking Policies: Clearly demarcated parking spaces reinforce parking regulations and policies,
making it easier for drivers to understand and comply with parking rules.
Reduced Confusion and Frustration: Clearly demarcated parking spaces eliminate confusion and
frustration among drivers, minimizing the likelihood of parking disputes and conflicts.
Enhanced Traffic Flow: Efficient parking contributes to smoother traffic flow, reducing congestion and
delays, especially in high -traffic areas.
Improved Pedestrian Safety: Clearly demarcated parking spaces help separate pedestrian areas from
parking spaces, reducing the risk of collisions and creating a safer environment for pedestrians.
Accessibility for People with Disabilities: Clearly demarcated parking spaces ensure that individuals
with disabilities have easy access to designated parking areas, promoting accessibility and
inclusivity.
Policy
Attachment B to
2-12-24 Minutes
Public parking spaces should be clearly and consistently (where possible) demarcated with signage,
striping, or other appropriate markings. Examples of clearly demarcated spaces are parking spaces that
are painted with white lines on black pavement; parking spaces that are marked with posts and signs;
and painted curbs where parking is prohibited.
Markings shall be of a contrasting color to the surrounding pavement. Parking spaces shall be of a size that is
adequate for the type of vehicle that is intended to be parked in the space. Parking spaces shall be arranged in a
manner that is efficient and safe. While signage is necessitated at times, every effort should be made to utilize
unique striping or a universal public parking symbol, instead. Because of the city's unique parking demands,
including rights-of-way constraints in various areas of the city, the city should have parking zones.

Parking Policy: Rights -of -Way Obstruction
Purpose
Attachment B to
2-12-24 Minutes
The purpose of this policy is to establish protocols regarding plantings, landscaping material and other
obstruction within the public rights-of-way that can create safety and operational issues including
interference of public parking, line -of -sight concerns, stormwater conveyance problems, root intrusion
of plants impacting utilities, and damage to public facilities such as sidewalks. The city's public rights-
of-way are to be reserved for public use and plantings and other obstruction will not be permitted. Sod
is the only permitted vegetation allowed upon city approval. Desired plantings can be installed on
private property.
Definition(s)
Per Sec. 19-1, rights-of-way or public rights-of-way means land in which the city owns the fee or has an
easement devoted to vehicular, bicycle and/or pedestrian movement, or required for use as a
transportation facility, as that term is defined in F.S. § 334.03(21), and may lawfully grant access
pursuant to applicable law and includes the surface, airspace over the surface and the area below the
surface of such rights-of-way. "Public rights-of-way" shall not include (a) county, state or federal rights-
of-way, (b) property owned by any person other than the city, (c) service entrances or driveways
leading from the road or street onto adjacent property, or (d) except as described above, any real or
personal property of the city, such as, but not limited to, city parks, buildings, fixtures, conduits, water
lines, sewer lines, facilities or other structures or improvements, regardless of whether they are
situated in the public rights-of-way.
Policy
Plantings, landscaping material or other obstruction within public rights -of way are not permitted per
the city Code Sec. 19-1. However, the City prioritizes ensuring that impediments creating public safety
hazards (e.g. strike hazards and line -of -site impediments, including parked vehicles) are not in the
public rights-of-way.
In the event of failure by the owner to move obstructions as directed by the City, the City shall do so
and the expense of same charged to the property owner.
All existing obstructions within the 2 -foot safety zone shall be removed (Sec. 19-5). All other plantings,
landscaping material or other obstructions must comply with this section of the code.
Enforcement
Working in conjunction with other City staff, Code Enforcement and Public Works shall be responsible
for enforcing the provisions of this policy.

Parking Policy: Pervious Stabilized Surface Parking Systems (e.g. Turf Block Permeable Pavers)
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish protocols regarding pervious stabilized surface parking
systems (i.e. Turf Block permeable pavers) for parking, which the city has identified as being a viable
tool in demarcating public parking spaces.
Policy
The City should allocate funding annually toward installing pervious stabilized surface parking systems
(i.e. Turf Block permeable pavers):
• To be proactive in demarking public parking spaces counted towards beach renourishment
cost -share funding, where feasible.
• On a case-by-case basis, to proactively demarcate public parking spaces in other areas of the
City where unpaved rights-of-way have been customarily utilized for public parking.

Paid Parking Policy: Locations for paid parking programs
Purpose

Policy Question 3: Should residential parking permits be issued? If so, where?
Paid Parking Policy: Residential Parking Permits
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to protect residential neighborhoods from vehicles trying to avoid paid
parking.
Policy
The City should institute a program for permitting residential only parking in areas within one (1) block
of any paid parking (with the exception of the parking spaces counted towards beach renourishment).
Policv Question 4: Should overtime parking fine amounts be the some citywide?
Paid Parking Policy: Overtime parking fines
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to create a fair and equitable overtime parking fine structure.
Policy
The City should institute the same fines in all pay parking in the city in order to streamline the program
and avoid confusion.
Policv Question 5: How should net paid -parking revenue be allocated?
Paid Parking Policy: Net paid parking revenue
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to create guidance on how net revenue should be spent. Net revenue
from other locations outside of the Beaches Town Center should be structured like the revenue
collected in the Beaches Town Center. This enables the revenue to be reinvested in the community
and not the general fund
Policy
The City should establish a pay -for -parking enterprise fund for the City's paid parking program outside
of Beaches Town Center just as it has for Beaches Town Center. This parking fund may be used to fund
complete streets projects; landscape and/or hardscape improvements; alternative transportation
solutions; and to pay for management of the paid parking program.
