Section 24-68(b)(1) - Improvements that exceed 50% of the market
value triggers onsite stormwater
➢Recommendation: Remove trigger (as long as property remains at
45% lot coverage)
➢Discussion:
•Intent was to require tear-downs to implement onsite storage
•50% was utilized as the threshold to be in line with other
requirements that properties be brought into compliance with
all codes when the 50% threshold is exceeded
•A different threshold could be considered
•Threshold could be eliminated, resulting in grandfathering all
existing impervious area

Section 24-68(b)(3) - One time exemption from Onsite Stormwater
Requirements
➢Recommendation: Remove this trigger for willful demolition or
remodel. Allow for issues related to natural disasters
➢Discussion:
•Intent was to allow for complete remodel of older homes
(exceeding the 50% threshold) that didn’t result in an increase in
impervious area to be exempt
•If removed, major remodels will be required to implement onsite
stormwater
•In these cases, onsite stormwater is difficult to implement without
impacting mature landscape/trees
•“One time” could be removed from exemption language
•Allowances for rebuilding after natural disasters already contained
in Section 24-85(c)(4)

Section 24-68(b)(2) - Increase in impervious surfaces by 250 square feet
triggers onsite stormwater for the square feet added
➢Recommendation: Remove trigger (as long as property remains at 45%
lot coverage)
➢Discussion:
•The intent was to allow for walkways and other small
improvements to be completed without the burden of creating
onsite storage
•Removing the trigger may result in significant increase in
stormwater runoff as properties below the 45% maximum lot
coverage expand without storage
•The trigger was formerly 400 square feet; that could be reinstated.
•An analysis could be completed to objectively determine
appropriate trigger

Section 24-17 - Definitions - The water surface area of swimming
pools shall be calculated as fifty (50) percent impervious surface
➢Recommendation: Keep this calculation
➢Discussion:
•Many cities consider pools as impervious, while others consider
pools pervious
•50 percent impervious was a compromise based on arguments
that pools generally have some degree of freeboard and retain
some stormwater water
•Difficult to calculate & enforce freeboard requirements
•Stormwater that does fill a pool must eventually be pumped out

Page 26 of 41Agenda Item #1.A.14 Oct 2024Page 30 of 69
Onsite Stormwater Retention - Tailor stormwater retention
according to the hydrology of specific neighborhoods
➢Recommendation: Have City staff research and define hydrology
based on topography and geographic areas.
➢Discussion:
•Soil types and depth to the groundwater table vary across the
city
•Onsite storage requirements currently account for depth to the
groundwater table; the deeper the groundwater table, the more
soil storage is credited
•This recommendation is probably best analyzed during
completion of the next Stormwater Master Plan update

Pervious Pavers
➢Recommendation: Allow to be treated as permeable as determined
by the manufactures specifications and ensure they are installed
correctly
➢Discussion:
•Open grid pavers (turf block) are provided 50% credit
•Pervious pavers require maintenance (per most manufacturers’
specifications) to maintain permeability – vacuuming, etc.
•Staff has observed older pervious pavers that don’t percolate
water well
•Open grid pavers and tabbed pavers (pavers with visible joints
between the blocks) appear to work better over time than
permeable type pavers where water soaks through the paver
•Could allow full or partial pervious credit for various types of
pavers (25% credit was considered at one time)

Artificial Turf
➢Recommendation: Allow to be treated as permeable as determined
by the manufacturers’ specifications and ensure they are installed
correctly (need to weigh the environmental aspects)
➢Discussion:
•Currently artificial turf is considered pervious if it is
demonstrated to Public Works personnel that it is pervious
•Some cities have banned artificial turf due to localized heat
effects, potential for water pollution, runoff potential, etc.
•Some cities, like Orlando, consider it impervious area
•Some artificial turfs percolate better than others
•Some types of artificial turf do not percolate water well
•Similar to pavers, maintenance is required – brushing, debris
removal and occasional rinsing to maintain appearance and
drainage

Final Thoughts
➢Atlantic Beach is flat, surrounded by water and has a high
groundwater table, making it difficult to get rid of stormwater
runoff in a cost-effective, efficient and permittable manner
➢Small changes in runoff can have measurable cumulative impacts
over time on the stormwater drainage system
➢The 2012 Stormwater Master Plan Update concluded that by far,
the most cost-effective means of controlling stormwater runoff is
at its source – onsite storage
➢The City’s Stormwater Utility Program generates about
$865,000/year. Rates have not changed in 20 years and funds are
barely adequate to cover maintenance
➢The 2024 Stormwater Master Plan Update should include an
objective evaluation of CDB concerns and recommendations,
revisit onsite stormwater calculations to make sure we have it
right and consider the impacts of climate change

Potential Code Changes
SECTION 24-17 - DEFINITIONS
➢New artificial turf
➢Modify Impervious surface
➢New permeable pavers
Artificial Turf shall mean an artificial grass mat
manufactured with manmade materials such as
polypropylene, polyethylene, and/or other materials,
which is used to replicate that appearance of natural
grass/turf. Artificial turf can be considered permeable
when it allows water to drain at a rate of ???? and
when it is installed using the standards in figure1
Attachment C to
8-26-24 Minutes
Page 35 of 41Agenda Item #1.A.14 Oct 2024Page 39 of 69
Impervious surface shall mean those surfaces that prevent the entry

lots, and other surfaces made of concrete, asphalt, brick, plastic, or
any solid surfacing material with a base or lining of an impervious
material. Wood decking elevated two (2) or more inches above the

Arts, Recreation & Culture Committee (ARCC)
Commission Presentation
August 26, 2024
During our monthly meetings, our committee is often asked by staff to make
recommendations regarding arts and recreation programming in our parks and
community centers. Since my last presentation we:
1. Engaged in a visioning discussion of the possible uses for the Almost Home
property. We talked about how opening another community center could benefit
the surrounding neighborhood and complement our other community centers.
Additionally, we discussed potential programming.
2. Held a “big picture” brainstorming workshop to develop a “wish list” that outlined
events and improvements that we would make to our parks, community centers,
and programming for the betterment of our city. We prioritized and classified
them according to estimated cost, impact, and urgency. Together we voted
unanimously to recommend to the City Manager and Commission the following:
a. Fund Turtle Crawl in the 2024-25 budget to promote health and
connectivity in our parks system while highlighting the City’s history and
natural resources through art and education; and,
b. Purchase and install a new scoreboard at Donner Park, such a well-loved
park with a flourishing flag football program. This scoreboard will get a lot
of use and add to the excitement or the kids.
Most recently we reviewed and voted on a couple items that bring some structure and
policy to our Recreation Department.
1. Reviewed and moved forward tennis instructors’ regulations.
2. Under the new formal process for naming public spaces, we approved the name
Ashby Park for the parklet previously known as Marvin’s Garden.
The most important thing we do as a committee is administer the City’s grant for arts
and recreation. In FY 2023-24 we awarded $75,000 to 18 schools and organizations
which offered innovative programs, classes and events that fill the gaps in our regular
city-wide programming. Throughout the year each committee member is assigned as a
liaison to two or three organizations or programs. As good fiscal stewards we attend
their program, observe its impact, and offer any advice or help to make sure it’s
successful. As well, we keep in close contact with staff to hear from them what they feel
is working well. At the end of the year, and prior to the next grant cycle, we ask that
each recipient complete a final report to better understand the impact their program had
on our community. We want to make sure that they did what they said they were going
to do. We want to know how many citizens they served, what their successes were, and
Attachment D to

Page 43 of 69
where they feel they could make any improvements. We use this information to
determine if we’ll fund them in the future should they reapply, and to make sure we’re
providing programming that targets all ages and interests in our community.
Our committee is in the middle of reviewing applications for FY 2024-25. We have
received $124,000 in grant requests from new and returning organizations and schools.
On August 30, 2024, we will spend the day interviewing each applicant and grading
them on several aspects of their program. This will help us determine whether we will
fund their grant and if so, to what level. We understand that the proposed city budget
currently allocates level funding of our grant pool - $75,000. We respectfully request that
this is approved, along with funding for the Turtle Crawl and Donner scoreboard. These
programs and items add value and will continue to enhance the quality of life in Atlantic
Beach now and for years to come.

of this meeting.

Greetings School Board Members and Superintendent Bernier,
Thank you for allowing me to come and share at Public Comment last night my advocacy for
redrawing the school zone for Atlantic Beach Elementary to include the children and families west
of Mayport Road.
Last night,my personal request involved more than advocacy for keeping the doors of Atlantic
Beach Elementary open.As your board and staff are looking at feeder patterns across the county,I
am asking that you consider redrawing the Atlantic Beach Elementary school zone to include all the
children within Atlantic Beach city lines.For decades,I have wanted to see west of Mayport Read
more included in my city and truly believe it begins with the redistricting of its elementary school.
Historically,children west of Mayport Road have been excluded from Atlantic Beach Elementary
and were sent to attend Neptune Elementary when it opened in 1981 or to Mayport Elementary.As
have seen in the recent enrollment reports,Atlantic Beach Elementary has the space to
accommodate this forgotten portion of its city.This rezoning would allow families to attend their
city’s school without having to school choice their way into it.
Once more,I cannot express my gratitude enough to the Board and Superintendent for listening to
the Beaches Community and its elected officials regarding removal of Atlantic Beach Elementary
and other beaches schools from the school closure list.I am hopefulthis will not be a mere “idea”
but one the communities can count on to be solidified.At the end ofthis month,ABE will celebrate
their 85thyear educating children within Atlantic Beach on September 27‘“.It would be grand to see
it open for more generations to come.
As a public educator,it has always been my thought that the family and the school are the heart of
the community.Your continued advocacy and commitment for Atlantic Beach Elementary and
keeping other successful “A”schools intact across Duval is in the best interest of the children and
therefore our county.
Thank you for your service to our students and families.
