Good evening, Mayor, Commissioners, City Manager, City Employees and the Public
My name is Sarah Boren. I live on 8"' Street in Old Atlantic Beach, and I currently serve as the chair of the
City's Environmental Stewardship Committee. Thank you for allowing my public comments to be read
for the record tonight so I could attend my daughter's Fletcher High open house.
On behalf of the ESC, we would like to submit two appeals for consideration.
The first appeal is to include environmental stewardship, sustainability and resilience in the scope of
grants and needs assessment of the Langton Associates, Inc. contract.
The second appeal is for funding for four of ESC's priorities in 2024-2025. As you know we are charged
to steward AB's trees, parks and open spaces, beautification and environmental stewardship and serve
as an educational, motivating and coordinating entity for these issues. Therefore, we respectfully
request the Commission and City Manager to add a total of $37,750 to the Planning, Community
Development and Building Department's budget so the ESC/City can:
1. plant an edible tree, plant, and community raised bed garden along the Jack Russell Park
pathway to address AB's food dessert and improve quality of life. Fellow ESC member, Heather
Markaj, will share more about this project.
2. establish community learning gardens that educate about native plants, which plants attract
pollinators, bees, and butterflies, and demonstrate how to grow a beautiful garden without
chemicals.
3. educate about how to make residential and commercial properties more resilient and energy
and water efficient as well as tree ordinance and best practices to tree and landscaping
companies.
4. measure the local heat island effect in AB.
All four of these projects directly address ESC's charge in Chapter 23 and are part of AB's Sustainability
and Resilience Community Action Plan passed in 2022.
Again, thank you for the flexibility of allowing this to be read into the record. I hope to attend Thursday's
Budget Workshop. Have a great rest of your meeting!

Storm Sewer System Overview
➢City served by a series of pipes, ditches and canals
➢Mostly constructed prior to modern standards
➢Many improvement projects are planned or
underway
➢Water quality treatment is not provided in most of
the system
➢Design goal level of service for flood protection:
• Residential streets should be passable with water
not exceeding the crown of the road during a 5 -
year flood event (6.1 inches in 24 hours).

Community Development Board (CDB)
Recommendations
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
Attachment C to
8-26-24 Minutes
CDB Recommendations
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)
Attachment C to
8-26-24 Minutes
CDB Recommendations
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
Attachment C to
8-26-24 Minutes
CDB Recommendations
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
Attachment C to
8-26-24 Minutes
CDB Recommendations
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
Attachment C to
8-26-24 Minutes
CDB Recommendations
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

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
8-26-24 Minutes
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.
