Maureen King, City Clerk
The meeting, which was held for the purpose of reviewing the draft of the proposed new zoning
ordinance, was called to order by Mayor Meserve.
Discussion began with Section 24-112 Industrial Light and Warehousing District (ILW)
Page 65 No changes
Page 66 No changes
Page 67 Discussion regarding the intent of Special Use District, specifically whether one single
family residence or multiple residences would be allowed. Likewise for repair shops.
Was the intent to allow one repair shop or multiple repair shops. It was felt that the
intent was to allow several residences for family members and that new construction
of residences or workshops would have to comply with zoning standards of the
surrounding area(RS2). George Worley was asked to look into this and if necessary,
ask Alan Jensen for clarification before the next meeting.
Page 68 b(1) Should laundries be included in this section as a permitted use? Change to
Laundromat,but not dry cleaners. Put Laundromat back in definitions— Change 8(c)
to 9. Delete Churches from Use-by-exception list.
Page 69 (h)(1) Outside seating in public right of way. The question was asked whether
outside seating requests would come before the City Commission for approval and
it was pointed out that a lease agreement would have to be approved by the City
Commission and renewed on an annual basis.
Need additional language to clarify reconstruction of non-conforming historic
structures (Section 85)
Discussion regarding 25 ft.height limitation. It was felt that height limitations should
9 also be considered on Mayport Road. May need to revisit CG district.
Page 70 Add"Chapter 24" before Article IV. (Second line from the bottom of the page)
Page 72 No changes
Page 73 (4) Commissioner Waters felt that homeowners' associations should be required.
Discussion but no changes
Page 74 (6) What elements are being referred to? It was determined that it was (5) a, b, and
c. i.e. City wants a schedule of improvements and the order in which they will be
installed. Change the word elements in (6) (top of page 74) to something else or
delete first sentence.
Page 75 (b)(2) Correct scriveners error "of' general circulation. (3) Discussion regarding
requiring approval of all property owners. All property owners must be notified by
the city and must be in concurrence with the PUD application. It was felt that all
property owners included in the PUD should be required to sign the application, or
indicate in writing their approval of the rezoning. Failure to produce such
confirmation should render the application null and void. — Insert appropriate
language. George Worley felt this was already covered in (4) on page 72. and the
language on Page 75 could be changed to read that the procedure for adoption of a
PUD shall be in accordance with Section 24-130.
Page 76 No changes
Page 77 No changes
Page 78 No changes
Page 79 (1)a The question was raised as to whether this section would eliminate ham radios
and it was felt that it would not. Add the word"commercial"before transmission.
Page 80 Question was raised regarding (2)b and it was pointed out this subject was covered
in Page 90.
Discussion ensued regarding Pages 90 and 91. It was felt that the intent was not to
allow any RV parking in front of homes but to allow parking of one RV behind the
front building setback line. Change language to require that parking of boats or RV's
be parked either behind the face of the building, or if undeveloped property, then
behind the front building setback line. Add language to prohibit parking of vehicles
of over 18,500 pounds. Need definition of commercial vehicle.
Page 81 Correct scriveners error on last line—change "incident"to "incidental."
Page 82 No changes
Page 83 Sec 154 -Discussion ensued regarding this section but no changes were made at this
point. However, several questions were raised and it was agreed to discuss this
section further at the next meeting.
The Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.

of the Stormwater Review Committee (SRC), but was speaking
as a concerned citizen regarding the failure of the SRC to meet
before the presentation by Aikenhead and Odom. Mr. Phillips

concerns is attached and made part of this official record as
Attachment C.
D. Blair Witherington of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission stated that his fifteen-year
experience with sea turtle nesting had shown that voluntary
compliance did not work well and he hoped the Commission
would pass a light management ordinance for the protection of
sea turtles. He indicated that sixteen counties and forty-three
cities had passed such ordinances, including Neptune Beach and
Jacksonville Beach. Mr. Witherington volunteered to act in an
advisory capacity to the city in this matter.
E. Nichole Gwyn of 10478 Theresa Drive,Jacksonville, Florida,
owner of Immortal Body in Ink located at 1249 Mayport Road,
requested Commission consideration to lowering the
occupational license fee for their business from $5,000 to a fee
similar to that paid by the same type of business operating in the
City of Jacksonville. Ms. Gwyn indicated that other tatoo
businesses operating on Mayport Road, who are located in
III Atlantic Beach postal district, pay an annual license fee of
$450.00.
F. Danny Thiele of 107 Azalea Place,Neptune Beach, supported
the earlier comments of Blair Witherington and repeated his
previous request that the Commission consider passage of an
ordinance regulating ocean front lighting during sea turtle nesting
season.
G. J.P. Marchioli of 414 Sherry Drive commented on the
following items: (1) an article he had read concerning sea turtles
killed by polluted oceans, (2)that the mulch in Howell Park was
difficult to walk on, (3) cars speeding on Sherry Drive, and (4)
that the license fee for tatoo businesses should be the same as that
for a pawn shop - $150.00.
H. Barbara Mears of 1604 Coquina Place reported that she had a
problem with having her yard waste picked up on a regular basis.
City Manager Hanson responded that there were several areas of
the city experiencing this problem and the city was working on
solving the problem. He further stated that contractors (tree
• trimmers, etc.) were responsible for disposing of their own yard
waste.

I. Jeff Sneed, a candidate for House District Seat 18, was
introduced by Commissioner Mitchelson.
Item 8A was taken out of sequence and discussed at this time.
8A. Discussion and possible selection of an architect for the
remodeling of the Adele Grage Community Center
(Commissioner Beaver)
Commissioner Beaver provided background information of the process
which led to the request for proposals (RFP) for architectural services to
remodel the Adele Grage Community Center. Commissioner Beaver
stated that five architects had responded to the RFP and he then
introduced the top three architects chosen by the selection committee.
The following architects presented their conceptual plans for the existing
building and addition: Barbara Mears, William Ebert and Tat Chan
After the presentations, Commissioner Beaver indicated he would like
the Commission to review the RFP's as soon as possible since he would
• like to apply for a historical grant which is due by the end of August. He
further indicated that Tat Chan had been the number one choice of all
five of the committee members.
Motion: Approve the City Manager to negotiate with Tat BEAVER X
Chan to provide renovations to the Adele Grage Community MITCHELSON X
Center.
Commissioner Waters objected to the manner in which the top three
architects were chosen. He felt the Commission, not the committee,
should have ranked the firms.
City Attorney Jensen advised that the Commission should rank the firms
and then authorize staff to negotiate with the top ranked firm.
Discussion ensued and Commissioners Mitchelson and Beaver withdrew
their second and motion respectively.
It was the consensus of the Commission to defer this item to the next
Commission meeting to allow the Commission time to review the RFP's
for ranking of the architects.

Fred Odom, P.E. provided a brief overview of the project and introduced
Dale Smith, P.E. for further explanation of the recommendations.
Using a powerpoint presentation illustrating the proposed improvements.
Mr. Smith reported that they now had a validated model for the core
city to within half a foot from Howell Park to Wonderwood. He
recommended desilting of the main channel of the drainage system,
including the Howell Park lagoon and the A-1-A canal to Puckett Creek ,
as well as the deepening of the Selva Marina lagoon. It was pointed out
that the 11th Street culvert would be replaced by a box culvert.
In-place recycling of asphalt, which will be used during the street
reconstruction, was briefly explained. It was pointed out that 1"- 12th
Streets would have inverted crowns, whereas, Sherry Drive, Plaza and
Ahern Street would have curb and gutter. Mr. Smith indicated that
drainage work on Seminole Road from Plaza to 12`n Street would be
constructed on the east shoulder of the road and would not impact the
street. It was pointed out that construction from Ahern to 10 Street
would minimally impact the tree canopy and no trees would be removed
from Howell Park during the dredging process. Other maps were also
• displayed which showed water and sewer line replacements.
A cost estimate for the project was given as between $4-6 million for
drainage improvements and between $450,000 - $525,000 for water and
sewer line replacements.
A brief question and answer session followed. It was pointed out that
the system was designed for a five-year storm. Drainage issues in the
Selva Marina area were briefly discussed. Mr. Smith indicated that he
needed a consensus of the Commission in order to bring their
recommendations before the St. Johns River Water Management District
(SJRWMD) for their approval. Mr. Smith indicated that he would like
to meet with the SJRWMD before the Stormwater Review Committee
(SRC) meeting on August 10'n
There was no more discussion, and it was the consensus of the
Commission to move forward with the project. Mayor Meserve
indicated that another public hearing would be held after receipt of the
SRC report.

Commissioner Borno explained the rational for the resolution in detail,
indicating he felt it was best to pursue voluntary management of beach-
front lighting during sea turtle nesting seasons since an ordinance would
not work unless policed.
Commissioner Waters felt it was a good idea to remind the affected
property owners each year, but the resolution offered no means for
enforcement.

Mayor Meserve presented Ordinance No. 70-00-14 in full, in writing and
read the ordinance by title only. Mayor Meserve then opened the public
hearing and invited comments from the audience.
No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to the ordinance and Mayor
Meserve declared the public hearing closed.
Commissioner Mitchelson inquired as to number of times the Police
Department had been called to Immortal Body In Ink. Public Safety
Director Thompson recalled one incident, but compared to other types of
businesses, he felt they required no more police service.
Commissioner Mitchelson believed the higher fee was not justified in
this case and requested Commission consideration to lower it.
SMayor Meserve believed it would be inappropriate to lower one
classification without giving consideration to the others.
Commissioner Waters noted a discrepancy in the fees charged for the
5,000 or greater square footage classification of retail, service,
professional and manufacturing businesses, and inquired as to why
service and retail establishments were charged more than professional
and manufacturing establishments.
Commissioner Borno stated that he was a member of the 1994 committee
who worked on revisions to the ordinance, but he could not remember
the reasons for those particular figures. He felt the fees should have been
consistent and it was probably done in error.
Commissioner Waters believed that the fees should not be arbitrarily
raised. City Manager Hanson stated that as part of the budget process, all
revenues had been reviewed and costs have increased. He further
explained that state law allows the city to increase the fees 5%every two
years.
Discussion ensued and it was the consensus of the Commission to have
the City Manager and staff look into the fees, with consideration given to
• Commissioner Waters suggestion that all fees for the 5,000 - 15,000
square foot category be set at $110.00. Mayor Meserve suggested that
the special case list at the end of the ordinance also be reviewed and the

major components of their recommendations concerning a successful
drainage of the contracted area during a storm event:
1/How many acres of drainage area their drainage plan covers?
• 2/How many gallons of rainwater is expected in the drainage area during a
25 years storm event?In Florida, this storm event must be the basis for
stormwater improvements!
3/ What is the elevation differential between the upstream and downstream
points of the drainage plan?
4/Are there any elevation points, that are higher than the previous elevation
point in the drainage route, that may act like a dam and influence the flow
going downstream?

6/Is there a Tide-water control device in the Plan?
7/ Will the stormwater conveying ditches be cleaned out of silt, that
accumulated for several decades?
