He felt the building lost its "flair" if the facade element was less than 35' and indicated that North Beach Center would be a family oriented, upscale development. Stephen Kuti of 1132 Linkside Drive supported Alan Dickinson's request (Item 8C) and stated that the taller facade would not negatively impact anyone since the building was located in a commercial area.

Mayor Meserve explained the requirements to hold the public hearing and explained that the City Commission had previously voted on the advisability of making the Selva Marina streets improvements. Mayor Meserve reported that the project was completed with the input from the Commissioners and many citizens who live in the area. He further reported that all meetings were advertised and open to the public and citizens affected by the proposed assessments. had numerous opportunities to speak concerning the improvements. Mayor Meserve reported that the original estimate for the individual assessments was at approximately $2,000 per unit, and through cost saving efforts and competitive bidding, the 131 residents would now be assessed $497.75 per unit. Commissioner Borno reiterated the Mayor's comments and pointed out that the Committee had worked diligently to determine that the neighborhood project would be assessed equally among the 131 residents. He indicated that when taking everything into consideration, the „., Committee felt everyone in the long run benefited from the project. Commissioner Parsons stated that he was not on the Commission when the assessments were determined, but he felt those residents who lived on Selva Marina Drive did not benefit from the project. Commissioner Waters provided background information concerning development of the Selva Marina area and stated he felt that it was important for the residents who live on Selva Marina Drive to realize they were not paying twice for improvements in the area. Commissioner Waters believed the assessments were fair and everyone would benefit, either directly or indirectly, from increased property values, improved streets and drainage and new street lights. Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing and invited comments from those present. Note: Comments made by the public under the agenda item Courtesy of the floor to Visitors, are listed below. William McGee of 1831 Selva Marina Drive spoke in opposition to the special assessment and stated it was unfair to assess the residents on Selva Marina Drive for improvements to the surrounding area. Wendell Sheppard of 1927 Selva Marina Drive also felt the residents of Selva Marina Drive should not be assessed. He felt the residents of Selva OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O Minutes Page -4- July 8, 2002 Marina Drive were not receiving the same benefits as the other property owners. John Mann of 1907 Hickory Lane stated that he was a ten year resident of the area and was very happy with the work. He stated that he appreciated the actions of the Commission to complete the project. Mr. Mann felt the assessment was fair and benefited the entire community. Jenny Gabrynowicz of 1907 North Sherry Drive thanked the Commission for completing the project. She felt the assessment was fair and that everyone should be assessed. Keith Falt of 1940 North Sherry Drive commended the city for the project. He indicated that he worked with Commissioner Borno on the Selva Marina Streets Committee and many hard decisions and compromises had been made to arrive at the assessments. He felt assessing everyone the same amount was fair. Alan Potter of 374 Second .Street felt the residents whose property abutted Selva Marina Drive did not benefit from the project and should not have to pay the special assessment and questioned the propriety of not including the assessment information with the agenda packet. Stephen Kuti of 1132 Linkside Drive felt the residents living on Selva Marina Drive should not be assessed and the developer should pay their costs. Jim Jones of 1861 Selva Marina Drive felt he derived no direct benefit from the project and should not be assessed. Tom Goodrich of 1907 Creekside stated he was very happy with the project and he felt the assessment was fair. Since no one else wished to speak further, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Motion: Accept the Selva Marina water, stormwater and street improvements based on the cost of the special assessment being spread equally among the one hundred thirty-one property owners as the method to calculate the individual assessments. Mayor Meserve indicated that the Selva Marina Streets issue had been an on-going development problem for more than twenty years and this ~` ~ Commission, with the help of the Selva Marina Streets Committee, had brought the problem to a conclusion. He felt that no system to calculate the assessment would guarantee absolute fairness and indicated that OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O BEAVER X BORNO X X PARSONS X WATERS X X MESERVE X Minutes Page -5- July 8, 2002 dividing the total cost of the assessments among all of the residents was the method of calculation chosen by the Selva Marina Streets Committee and Commission as most equitable. There was no more discussion and the motion carried unanimously. 8B. Public Hearing to hear and consider any and all complaints as to the special assessments, and action by the City Commission meeting as an equalizing board, to adjust and equalize the assessments in the Selva Marina improvements project Public notice of this public hearing was given in the same manner and dates as indicated for the previous public hearing. Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a second public hearing. William McGee of 1831 Selva Marina Drive reiterated his previous position that it was unfair to assess the residents of Selva Marina Drive who received no direct benefit from the improvements. Since no one else wished to speak, the Mayor declared the public hearing `~~ closed. Sitting as an equalizing board, the City Cormission then considered the public comments and acted on this matter as follows: Motion: Equalize the assessments for the Selva Marina Streets Project based on the cost of the special assessment being spread equally among the one hundred thirty-one property owners as the method. to calculate the individual assessments, resulting in one hundred thirty-one equal assessments of $497.75 as calculated and presented by staff Commissioner Beaver concurred with the Mayor and stated that the assessments should be kept equally divided among the property owners. He recounted the process to bring the project to completion, and stated that the project came in extremely under-budget, was a very fair arrangement for the entire development, and the improvements also resolved previous fire safety and garbage collection issues for everyone. Commissioner Parsons felt the property owners living on Selva Marina Drive received no direct benefits from the project and should not have to pay the special assessment. ~.

Motion: Adopt Ordinance No. 65-02-30 on Bnal reading. Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing. Stephen Kuti of 1132 Linkside Drive referenced an article in the newspaper concerning limiting the abandonment of aright-of--way in Neptune Beach and suggested the City of Atlantic Beach follow suit. Since no one else wished to speak, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed. City Manager Hanson provided background information explaining that in 1999 the Commission had authorized the City Attorney to draft an ordinance abandoning the portion ofright-of--way at the end of Cypress Street. He further reported that the waterline installed in 1997 was not installed in the easement, and he had requested that the City Attorney resolve the problem before abandoning the Cypress Street right-of--way. Commissioner Waters expressed concern that the Commission not abandon easements haphazardly. He felt all rights-of--way with easements and those that provided access to marshlands and the ocean should be retained. City Attorney referenced the survey map of the Canes property and pointed out that the water line installed in 1997 was installed in the wrong place and that 99% of the easement where the waterline was supposed to be was located on the Cane property, not evenly split between the Cane and Nauman properties. He explained that it would F be very expensive for the city to .take the easement back by condemnation. City Attorney Jensen indicated that the Canes had .agreed to give the easement over their property to the city in OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N BEAVER X X BoRNO x x PARSONS X WATERS X MESERVE X Minutes Page -9- July 8, 2002 ~~ exchange for the vacated right-of--way indicated on the map. It was pointed out that the right-of--way would be divided equally between each property owner abutting the right-of--way, as allowed by Florida Statutes. As a point of clarification, Commissioner Beaver inquired if the Naumans, who own property adjacent to the Canes, could request abandonment of the right-of--way adjoining their property which would landlock the Cane property. City Attorney Jensen advised that this would not be allowed. There was no further discussion and the motion carried unanimously. B. Ordinance No. 5-02-37 Public Hearing and Final Reading AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 2-2 OF THE ATLANTIC BEACH CODE, CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS PROHIBITED, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE (Comm.

Public Hearing to hear and consider any and all complaints as to the special assessments, and action by the City Commission meeting as an equalizing board, to adjust and .equalize the assessments in the Selva Marina improvements project Items 8A and 8B were discussed following agenda Item 2, Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors C. Action on the request of Dickinson Commercial Real ~``'~' Estate Services for the City Commission to reconsider their architectural design, a portion of which exceed the city's 35 ft. height limit (Comm. Parson) OMMISSIONERS M O z I O N S E c O N D Y E S N O BEAVER X BORNO X X PARSONS X X WATERS X MESERVE X Minutes Page -10- July 8, 2002 Motion: Approve request of Alan Dickinson and allow the center art deco facade element of the building to be constructed to a height of 46'. (Alan Dicknson, 166 North. Highway AlA, Ponte Vedra Beach, developer of the North Beach Center presented his request under Agenda Item 2, Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors). Discussion of the 46' element of the facade ensued. Commissioner Borno felt that it-was important for Mr. Dickinson to understand that the 46' tall portion of the facade could not be used as a sign. Commissioner Parsons believed this was a very positive project for the city and felt the construction should be allowed to the 46' height for the center facade, with the remainder of building being constructed to 34'. Commissioner Borno inquired concerning the proposed parking lot for the site and Mr. Dickinson reported that it would be completely reconstructed and would be heavily landscaped. Commissioner Beaver supported the request, but was opposed to any neon lighting on the facade that would impact the adjoining residential neighborhoods. Discussion ensued and by consensus the Commissioners determined that neon lighting may be placed on the front of the 46' tall element of the facade but it could not be used as a sign. Commissioner Waters stated that he liked the design but he felt the extra eleven feet for the facade would function as a sign. He felt the facade should be kept below the tree canopy level of thirty-five feet. There being no further discussion, the motion carried by a four to one vote with Commissioners Beaver, Borno and Parsons and Mayor Meserve voting aye and Commissioner Waters voting nay. D. Action on the request of Robert Nelson for a memorial to honor Rodney Chaplin (City Manager) Motion: Authorize family and friends to plant a tree, with no plaque, in the Plaza. median as a memorial to Rodney Chaplin with the planting to be coordinated through the City Manager's office. Mayor Meserve indicated that he was not in favor of placing memorial plaques throughout the city, but he would consider approval OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O BEAVER X X BoRNO x PARSONS X X WATERS X MESERVE X BEAVER X X BoRNO X x PARSONS X WATERS X MESERVE X Minutes Page -11- July 8, 2002 ~.. of planting a tree in the area shown in photo #2. Mr. Nelson's request is attached and made part of this official record as Attachment. B. Commissioner Waters favored planting oak trees to enhance the tree canopy. Commissioner Beaver also favored the Plaza median location, but also supported the suggestion of Sally Clemens and requested input from Mr. Nelson. Dee Chaplin, widow of Rodney Chaplin, stated that a tree signifies life and she preferred to plant a tree in memory of her late husband. Commissioner Beaver suggested that consideration be given to planting a Canary Palm at the Plaza median location. There was no more discussion and the motion carried unanimously. E. .Action on the request of the Beaches Hospitality Community for financial assistance with their summer marketing campaign (City Manager) City Manager Hanson reported that he had spoken with the other beach cities to find out if they would support the request. He indicated that it was the consensus of the cities that the Hospitality Community would be more likely to receive the cities' support if they contributed 50% in matching funds for the advertising campaign and made their request through the Chamber of Commerce or the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Discussion ensued concerning the possible use of Bed Tax funds for the marketing campaign. It was the consensus of the Commission that more information was needed before a decision could be made. Motion: Defer action on the request for financial assistance for two weeks. The motion carried unanimously. F. Action on a request to vacate portions of West 14th Street and Laurel Way within the Hidden Paradise Subdivision (City Manager) City Manager Hanson explained the developer's request while Powerpoint photographs the two rights-of--way were shown. He indicated that it was recommended that the request be denied, since the city needed to maintain its ability to clean the 14th Street drainage ditch. OMMISSIONERS M O z I O N S E c O N D Y E S N O BEAVER X X BORNO X X PARSONS X WATERS X MESERVE X Minutes Page -12- July 8, 2002 ~.rt,.,, Motion: Deny request to vacate portions of West 14tH Street and Laurel Way within the Hidden Paradise Subdivision. Mayor Meserve indicated that he had no problem with abandoning the Laurel Way right-of--way since the street ended in a cul-de-sac. He felt the 14th Street right-of--way should be retained since it actually was the drainage ditch. Commissioner Beaver concurred with the Mayor. Commissioner Borno felt development of the Hidden Paradise Subdivision was a good project for the city, but the city needed to support its Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Waters commented on the importance of maintaining the 14th Street drainage ditch. He felt it should be kept as access to the adjacent marshlands. Commissioner Waters called the question and the motion to deny failed by a one to four vote with Commissioner Beaver voting aye and Commissioners Borno, Parsons and Waters and Mayor Meserve voting nay. Motion: Vacate that portion of Laurel Way (Tulip Street) as shown on the sketch of the proposed closure included with the agenda packet. (The Staff Report which includes the sketch is attached and made part of this official record as Attachment C). The motion carried unanimously. Paul Nichols, President of Bestcon, the company developing the project, felt the 14th Street right-of--way would be better maintained by the adjoining property owners and suggested that the city deed the property to the developers while maintaining utility and drainage easements. It was the consensus of the Commission that too many legal issues could arise with this type of arrangement. Further discussion ensued and it was determined that the section of the 14th Street right-of--way located west of Tulip Street would never be developed as a street, but would. always be maintained as a drainage ditch. Commissioner Waters reiterated his previous position that the 14th ~" Street right-of--way provided access to the marshland and the city's need to maintain the drainage ditch. Commissioner Waters felt the city was obligated to protect this access for the future.

Discussion ensued and the Mayor Meserve stated he would have no problem with the City Attorney drawing up language for an agreement which would provide the city with full, unimpeded access needed by the city to clean the drainageditch, and suggested that this matter be deferred until such a binding legal document could be drawn up. Commissioner Waters called the question and the motion to deny the request carried by a four to one vote with Commissioners Beaver, Borno and Waters and Mayor Meserve voting aye and Commissioner Parsons voting nay.

The grant would provide $81,000 toward the purchase of new police radios needed in connection with the Jacksonville changeover to a new. system. neat year. David Thompson also requested that these funds be approved through another grant program available to police departments in the Jacksonville area and was informed that the funds have been approved. Because David was able to get funds for the radios through a different source, the normal grant application process for LLEBG funds can again be considered. Anew application has been '~ prepared for Commission's approval at the July 8th meeting which would provide $17,467 to convert old police reports to be accessible on the new police software program. Flyover Maintenance: The FDOT is working on making revisions to the maintenance contract with Atlantic Beach to include the newly finished landscaped areas in the Flyover Project. However, that agreement, per FDOT, will not take effect until 8/1/02. There are three options for maintenance of the Flyover -areas during the month of July. The first is to do no maintenance during the month and call upon the JTA contractor to replace any plants that may die. The second is to utilize FDOT contractors to do a minimal level of maintenance. Third would be for Atlantic Beach to begin complete maintenance on these areas even though FDOT will not reimburse us for the first month's cost.. That reimbursement is expected to be in the range of $3,000 per month and includes the areas in Neptune Beach. Given the excessive grass and weeds and other maintenance problems that already exist, I have authorized the contractor to begin work as of July. Neptune Beach officials have concurred with the July 3`d start date. Garbage Complaints in Vicinity of Beach Avenue: Three citizens complained about missed .garbage collection at the last Commission meeting. BFI has- informed us that the problem resulted from a new driver that did not know the routes. BFI's payment next month will be reduced by an amount specified in our contract resulting from missed. collections. Since BFI has started in Atlantic Beach in February 2001, the City has deducted approximately $9,700 from the monthly. BFI invoices resulting from missed pick-ups. However, this is not to say that BFI has done a poor job in collection. Complaints have dropped by .about half from the previous hauler. ,~ The City averages receiving about 40 complaints a month. for missed garbage/trash and recycling AGENDA ITEM #3A b JULY 8, 2002 a collections.: With about 5,000 homes in Atlantic Beach getting 2/ week garbage collection, 1%week trash and 1/week recycling, BFI makes about 80,000 pick-ups per month in our City. Consequently, the rate of complaints par pick-up is about one for every 2000 or 0.05%. - Water Plant Complaints: Two complaints were made about the City's water plant: on 1 ltd Street at the last meeting. The first was about the water tank. overflowing and the second was about an irrigation system being left on. The pump that fills the tank is run by an automatic controller, -which malfunctioned on the night of June 23rd. Staff responded to the site after a complaint was .called in and turned the pump .off. Electricians were brought in the next morning and the controller was repaired. A solenoid valve broke on one of the zones in the irrigation system in the water plant, causing the water in that zone to continue flowing. The first call the. City received on this was on the night of May.lSth. in the valve was temporarily repaired on the 17th. It malfunctioned again over the following weekend so the zone was shut down until permanent repair was made on June 9th. The allegation that the irrigation system was left on for three weeks was not correct. Sherry Drive Status; A letter was sent to the contractor on June 28th advising that most of the punch list work was complete and the project was considered Substantially Complete. However, the following items remain to be completed: 1. Clean up the area by Lift .Station A at the end of 6th St. \ 2. Curbs at handicap ramps require removal and repouring where attempts were made to patch. 3. Additional asphalt needed to minimize bumps at manholes. 4. Fill the abandoned storm drains at the north entrance to the school. 5. Install blind flange on gate valve at 399 Ahern.. 6. Some valve boxes remain to be lowered and/or collars placed around. 7. Paint-left-hand turn arrow at south end of Sherry. Dr. to Atlantic Blvd. We have requested that the contractor complete these items by July 15.

On behalf of family and friends of Rod and Dee Chaplin, Sinter s Robert Nelson, President Garden Room Landscape Design, Inc. 3002 South 3rd Street Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 904-237-0030 ATTACHMENT C ® JULY 8, 2002 COMMISSION MEETING M CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Request to vacate portions of West 14th Street and Laurel Way. (Tulip Street) within the Hidden Paradise subdivision and Atlantic Beach Section "H" subdivision SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP, Community Development Director DATE: June 17, 2002 BACKGROUND: A Final Plat for the Hidden Paradise subdivision was approved in January of this year, and the project is currently under construction. The developer, by-way of the attached letters,. has requested that the West 14th Street right-of-way, extending west from Laurel- Way (formerly Tulip. Street) be vacated, and also that the a small portion of Laurel Way of way be vacated.- .This area is indicated as."remaining right-of--way" at the end of Laurel Way on the attached Final Plat. Pursuant to Chapter 177, F.S., if closed by the City, one-half ofthese right-of--ways would automatically convey to .the abutting property owner. In other words, twenty-five feet of the 14th Street right-of--way and all of he remaining Laurel Way/Tulip Street right-of--way would be conveyed to the developer. (Existing drainage easements would be maintained.) Staff from the Public Works, Utility and Planning Departments and the City Manager have considered this request and have inspected the site and the surrounding area. Staff cannot support this request to vacate existing right-of--ways within this area. Closure of these streets would preclude construction of any future connection of Tulip Street southward. to West Plaza.. Drainage issues as well are a concern within this area, and these existing roadways may be needed in the future to address drainage and stormwater management .needs. Provision for central sewer .service to all existing lots within the Section "H" area is also a concern. Staff cannot presently determine that the 14th Street right-of-way would not be needed for this purpose. Any action by the City that would promote the future use of private well and septic systems in this area would be inconsistent .with the Comprehensive Plan.. Further, the platting and street pattern within this western portion of the City consists of rectangular blocks with a .continuous inter-connecting. street pattern. While not all of these streets have been' opened, this area is designated by the Comprehensive Plan for low-density residential use,` and the area is zoned RS-2. There are wetland and environmental issues that would be subject to state permitting in some locations; however, this general area appears to containsignificant amounts of land that is suited for development and redevelopment. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to deny a request to vacate portions of West 14th Street and Laurel Way (Tulip Street) within the Hidden Paradise subdivision and. Atlantic Beach Section "H" .subdivision.

It has been a pleasure .to work with you and the able employees of the City of Atlantic Beach. BESTCON, Inc. would like to respectfully request that the City of Atlantic Beach consider closing and abandoning the remaining right of way of West 14th Street, west of.Tulip Street, as shown on the enclosed .survey. Nearly the entire portion of 14th Street, west of Tulip Street is shown on the. survey as "wetlands". We see that the purpose of this right of way could be served as well as enhanced by transferring. ownership to the adjacent .Lots 13, Tract "A" and 25 in Hidden Paradise, and the Lots directly south of West 14th Street. At present, there is a drainage way in the right of way (directly south of Hidden Paradise) .that is maintained by the City of Atlantic .Beach. We would suggest .that the City could still ..complete this maintenance, if the deed was transferred. It is our understanding that all utility and drainage easements would remain in tact, with title being conveyed to the adjacent lots. Sin rely yours, ~ ~ Iw ~ ~--C, Paul W.

It has been. a pleasure to work. with you and the able employees of the City of Atlantic Beach. BESTCON, Inc. would like to respectfully request that the City of Atlantic Beach consider closing and abandoning the remaining right of way of Tulip Street, north of West 14~' Street and south- of the end of Laurel Way, as shown on the .enclosed survey. At the present, Laurel Way has been built as a cul-de-sac, and will need no modification. We see that by closing the road, there would be no "though" traffic, resulting from any future development south of 14a' Street, thereby protecting. the residents and family members from unnecessary .vehicular traff c. A cul-de-sac by its very nature promotes traffic to, but not through a subdivision. We would propose that this street end closing would perpetuate the "family. friendly" atmosphere that we .have tried to create. in Hidden Paradise.
