The meeting was called to order by Mayor Fletcher.
1. Public hearing on proposed assessments for a sewer line on Beach Avenue between
16th and 20th Streets, and on Dewees Avenue, Shell Street, Coquina Place, Ocean
Boulevard and Seminole Road
Jim Jacques explained the city had followed the procedure set forth in Florida Statutes to establish
assessments, including notifying property owners by mail and by publication of legal notices in the
Florida Times Union. He explained that changes had been made in the assessment roll as
directed by the City Commission at previous meetings on January 21 and February 4, 1997. Mr.
Jacques explained that properties within 100 feet of an existing sewer had been excluded from
previous assessment rolls but, at the direction of the City Commission, these properties were now
included if the properties were not receiving and paying for sewer service. He further explained
that assessments were based on the Partial Assessment Method selected by the City Commission
on February 4, 1997. Mr. Jacques further explained that the cost per front foot had been reduced
from earlier estimates which were based on the bid price of the project. The actual cost of the
project, including the cost of advertising, is approximately $50,000.00 less that the bid price,
resulting in the lower front foot cost. (Notes on development of Beach Avenue Sewer
Assessment Roll is attached hereto as Exhibit A; Summary of Beach Avenue Sewer Assessments
including the Partial Assessment Method selected by the City Commission on February 4, 1997 is
attached as Exhibit B).
The Mayor then opened the floor for a public hearing.
Don Wolfson, 1725 Beach Avenue, referred to several non-conforming lots he owned on the
west side of Beach Avenue. He said he intended to use the property for parking purposes only
and felt that since sewer service would, therefore, not be required, the property should not be

Minutes of Special Called Meeting
June 2, 1997
assessed. Mr. Wolfson inquired whether property owners could be assessed if and when they
connected such lots to the sewer system. In further discussion, it was felt that since the
assessment roll would be adopted by the City Commission at the meeting of June 9, 1997, all
properties to be assessed must be included at that time. Mr. Jacques also read from the minutes
of the meeting of February 4, 1997, indicating that the matter of non-conforming lots had been
discussed at that time and City Commission had voted to include 451 feet of non-conforming lots
in the assessments. No change was made in this regard.
William Morgan, 1945 Beach Avenue, distributed a plan of six lots on the north side of
Nineteenth Street between Beach Avenue and Seminole Road, shown as Tract "A"(Exhibit C).
He explained that he had installed a sewer line on Nineteenth Street to serve these six lots but
currently only the lot on the corner of Nineteenth Street and Beach Avenue has been developed
and is served by a septic tank. Mr. Morgan indicated was a stub-out on Nineteenth Street for
connection in the future and he requested that this lot be exempted from the assessment since it
would not connect to the new sewer line. The documents presented by Mr. Morgan are attached
hereto as Exhibit C.
Jim Jacques explained that, based on the guidelines established by the City Commission, since the
property had not already connected to the existing sewer it had been included in the assessment
roll.
Discussion ensued and it was agreed that if Mr. Morgan would agree to connect to the Nineteenth
Street sewer line the assessment would be deleted. Commissioner Rosenbloom felt that,
according to the guidelines established by the City Commission, unless Mr. Morgan agreed to
connect to the existing sewer, the property should be assessed. He also inquired whether similar
conditions might apply to other properties.
Commissioner Meserve felt the City Commission should apply the guidelines equally and unless
the city received a commitment from Mr. Morgan to connect to the existing sewer line, the
property should be assessed.
The Mayor inquired regarding when Mr. Morgan would connect the property to the existing
sewer line and Mr. Morgan indicated that the property was currently on the market for sale and he
agreed not to sell the property until the sewer connection had been made.
Discussion then ensued regarding Beach Avenue Condominiums located at 1973, 1975, and
1977 Beach Avenue. A letter had been received from Garnet Walker, the resident at 1977 Beach
Avenue, suggesting that the 100 ft. property should be assessed as 28% each for 1973 and 1977
Beach Avenue and 44% for 1975 Beach Avenue; however, a letter was subsequently received
from W.L. Arthur, the resident at 1975 Beach Avenue indicating that the Duval County public
Page Three
Minutes of Special Called Meeting
June 2, 1997
records showed the end units to be 33 ft. while the center unit was 34 ft. The assessments had,
therefore been computed based on the front footage as reflected in the public records. The City
Commission concurred. The letters from Ms. Walker and Mr. Arthur are attached hereto as
Exhibit D.
Commissioner Meserve then referred to four properties referenced in page two of Mr. Jacques'
memorandum to the City Clerk, dated May 30, 1997, attached hereto as Exhibit E. The
properties in question were connected to city sewer but were not being billed for service; one
property had not paid the required impact fee. Following brief discussion, it was determined that
the questions regarding these properties was an administrative matter and would be handled by
staff.
With reference to property described as part of Government Lot 3, (RE #169524-0010), owned
by George Grandy, which was discussed at a previous meeting, Mr. Jacques pointed out no
commitment had been received from Mr. Grandy indicating that he was willing to replat the
property. The City attorney reported that Mr. Grandy had been in contact with him and had
indicated that he was willing to replat the property as suggested by the City Commission. The
City Attorney advised that this matter would be completed when the City Commission had
finalized the assessments.
The City Manager suggested an agreement be drafted between the city and the owners of
properties on which special considerations had been made. The City Attorney agreed to draft
documents which could be recorded in the Duval County public records. Commissioner
Shaughnessy inquired how easy or difficult it would be for such agreements to be reversed by
property owners and the City Attorney advised if an owner willingly and freely placed covenants
and restrictions on his property, such restrictions to run with the land and designated to be in
perpetuity, they would be difficult to dissolve.
With reference to three properties on Beach Avenue which also fronted on Seminole Road (Page
4, Exhibit E), Jim Jacques asked how these properties were to be treated. The City Attorney
advised these properties could be included in the assessment roll to be assessed contingent upon
hooking up to the Beach Avenue sewer; however if the properties connected to the sewer on
Beachside Court or Seminole Road there would be no assessment.
2. Any other business
Commissioner Meserve reported the Wonderwood Connector had been discussed that afternoon
in a Finance Committee meeting and the matter had not been brought out of sub-committee.
Councilman Warren Jones indicated if he received enough information, particularly from Rep.
Page Four
Minutes of Special Called Meeting
June 2, 1997
Tillie Fowler's office with respect to the time sensitivity, he would have a special meeting of the
Finance Committee and have the matter voted up or down before the meeting of the City Council
on Tuesday, June 10, 1997. He indicated that Rep. Tillie Fowler had indicated that time was of
the essence and $40 million in matching federal funds could be lost, which would probably kill the
project. He felt the local elected officials needed to keep the pressure on the City Council,
particularly Eric Smith and Warren Jones to persuade Councilman Tullis to bring the issue out of
committee. Commissioner Rosenbloom suggested the Beaches Mayors and Capt. Gaudio visit
both Eric Smith and Warren Jones and urge them to support the matter. The City Commission
concurred.
There being no further business to come before the City Commission, the Mayor declared the
meeting adjourned at 8:55 PM.

information. Front Foot dimension is adjusted to Median lot width for odd-shaped lots.
4. Determination of whether lot owner is assessed for sewer:
a. Sewer assessment is developed if new sewer main improvements are to be
constructed in the street fronting home lot.
b. No sewer assessment is developed if lot owner is currently paying a monthly
sewer service charge to Atlantic Beach.
c. If only sewer service line from an existing main to the property line is
constructed, no special assessment is developed.
d. For corner lots,the shortest lot dimension is used for calculation of assessment
per City Codes.
e. No assessment is charged if any portion of lot has sewer service from another
street, or can obtain sewer service from another street for lots with two fronting
streets.
5. The lot owners are sorted according to Real Estate Number and location of
improvements for the sewer work.

Copy: Garnet Walker, 1977 Beach Avenue (northern unit)
Ken Fink, 1973 Beach Avenue ( southern unit)
Dear Jim,
As per our conversations, I am in reciept of your letter
from the City of Atlantic Beach dated 1 -6-97. This letter states
that my property at Beach Avenue Condominiums, Dwelling Unit
1975, RE#169723-1004, will be assessed based on 33. 333 front
feet.
Your letter of May 9, 1997 states my property now will be
assessed based on 44 front feet. This is in response to a letter
you recieved in Feb. 1997 from Garnet Walker, my neighbor in
dwelling 1977 (north unit) . This letter indicates she is in
some position of authority or knowledge concerning my property.
Unfortunately, she did not see fit to copy me in on this letter,
so I cannot share your information from her.
The City of Atlantic Beach assessment is based on frontage
feet owned. It is a matter of public record: Lots 61 & 62,
Plat Book 15, Page 92, Duval County, Florida. My property,
dwelling unit 1975 (center unit) owns 34 frontage feet. Ken
Fink, dwelling unit 1973 ( south unit) owns 33 feet. Garnet
Walker, dwelling unit 1977 (north unit) owns 33 feet. All
totaling 100 frontage feet. This same information is recorded
in the attached "Exhibit 'A' Filing Statement" Declaration of
Condominium Survey and Plot Plan by Dunson Real Estate, Inc. ,
the selling agent.
I await your acknowledgement,
Thank Y u,

Date: May 30, 1997
Subject: Development of Final Assessment List
Beach Avenue Sewer Assessments
City Project No. AW9603
I have revised the costs for sewer assessments to reflect the actual costs for Beach
Avenue Sewer main construction under the current project. The enclosed list will
supercede the listing submitted on March 17, 1997.
I have also prepared a current total of the cost of the Beach Avenue project as of
the last invoice to the contractor. The project is continuing with other work,such
as water main construction and paving,but the sewer work portion is completed.
This calculation reflects the final cost to the City for constructing sewers in
Beach Avenue under Part 1 of the project and in the Dewees Avenue area under
Part 4 of the project. This shows a reduction in assessment costs from the
estimated bid prices of$308,108.70 to the final costs of construction,plus City
costs for advertisement of the Public Hearing for assessments,of$258,587.32.
Based on the method of Partial Assessment as approved by the City Commission,
the total amount recovered through the assessments is $170,099.27. The
assessment rate is now established at$ 34.053 per front foot of assessed property.
The Final Assessment Roll contains the latest information I have concerning the
property owners, addresses, front footages and legal information. I have made
several revisions from the earlier Preliminary Assessment Rolls. One of the
situations that will require further review concerns property owners who were
connected to the City sewer system prior to project construction,but have not
paid either impact fees or monthly sewer charges. As had been discussed in
MEMORANDUM May 30, 1997 Page No. 2
previous staff meetings, I have not included any of these property owners in the
Final Assessment Roll. They will be notified to bring their sewer bills up to date
by the water billing or building department.
The properties listed below have previous sewer connections to existing sewer
mains, but no have record of paying either sewer impact fees or monthly sewer
charges:
RE Number Name Address Paid Sewer Paid Monthly
Impact Fee Sewer
Y/N Charges Y/N
169663-0000 Edward Lane 1721 Beach Ave. Y N
169686-0000 Dominic Bisbano 1889 Beach Ave. Y N
169542-0000 Dominic Bisbano 1890 Beach Ave. Y N
169702-0050 Robert Huffman 2006 Beach Ave. N N
If the City Manager or City Commission desire to add the above listed properties to the
assessment roll, I will modify the roll to add the properties.
Other properties, not subject to assessment for other reasons, were also discovered along
Beach Avenue who are connected to the sewer system but have no record of paying monthly
sewer charges. These properties are not addressed in this memo,but should be investigated
by the building and water billing departments.
We also discovered that two properties owned by Dr. Samuel Rukab, 1957 Beach Avenue,
were not connected to an existing sewer, but had been billed for monthly sewer charges
after Dr. Rukab had paid the impact fees in anticipation of connecting to the new sewer
constructed under the Beach Avenue project. The water billing department should
investigate if any refunds are due to Dr. Rukab.
At the special Commission meeting on February 4, 1997, several items were discussed,
which modified the methods of determining the assessment for specific properties. The
following list summarizes the actions taken to comply with the direction of the City
Commission:
1. The Partial Assessment Method is the current method for calculating the assessment
rate to be applied to the various front footages of the assessed properties. The
attached Summary of Beach Avenue Sewer Assessments shows the calculations to
achieve at the Partial Assessment Method.
MEMORANDUM May 30, 1997 Page No. 3
2. The "non-conforming", or"sub-standard" lots along Beach Avenue have been
included in the.assessment roll, if the properties met the conditions for assessment
as shown on the attached Notes for Development of Beach Avenue Sewer
Assessment Roll.
3. The properties originally exempted by being within a 100 foot radius of an existing
sewer have been included for assessment, if the properties met the conditions for
assessment as shown on the attached Notes for Development of Beach Avenue
Sewer Assessment Roti-
4. The George Grandy property, RE 169524-0010, part of Government Lot 3, has not
been included in the assessment roll, assuming this small property will be joined by
replatting or other legal means to the property at 1927 Beachside Court. The intent
of the owner is to provide sewer service from Beachside Court which has an existing
sewer. However, this property would be subject to a future assessment if the
decision is made by the property owner to connect to the sewer on Beach Avenue.
5. The Bernice Morgan property, RE 169542-0705, Lot 1, Beachside Replat, has not
been included in the assessment roll, assuming this small property will be joined by
replatting or other legal means to the property at Beachside Court. The intent of the
owner is to provide sewer service from Beachside Court which has an existing
sewer. However, this property would be subject to a future assessment if the
decision is made by the property owner to connect to the sewer on Beach Avenue.
6. The Sandra Martin property, RE 169500-0000, Lot 10, 44 Dewees Avenue, has had
a recalculation of the front footage, since the property is not rectangular with a
straightforward front footage. The following list shows the properties similarly
recalculated to provide a median front footage calculation to be applied toward the
assessment rate per front foot:
RE Number Name Address Old Revised
Footage Footage
169550-0000 Sandra Martin Lot 10, 44 Dewees Ave. 75 51.2
169551-0000 William Sheppard Lot 11, Dewees Ave. 65 47.4
169561-0010 Myra Burns Lot 5, 73 Coquina Place 59.6 47.3
169562-0000 Harriet James Lot 6, 79 Coquina Place 85 65
169563-0000 Harriet James Lot 7, 79 Coquina Place 75 66.95
169564-0000 Allen Alteri Lot 8, 1639 Ocean Blvd. 54 49.5
169564-0000 Allen Alteri Lot 9, 1639 Ocean Blvd. 57.3 43.65
169668-0000 Edward Lane Lot 28, 1735 Beach Ave. 73 61.5
7. The James Minter property, RE 169549-0000, Lots 8 & 9, 1632 Beach Avenue, has
MEMORANDUM May 30, 1997 Page No. 4
had a new determination of the applicable front footage for assessment, assuming
that both lots will be joined by replatting or other legal means to form a single lot.
With the joining of lots,the front footage is then calculated as the short side of the
now larger corner lot, in accordance with the City Codes. The total front footage for
assessment is reduced from 135.66 feet to 100.7 feet.
Following the directive for the properties listed in Items 4 and 5 above that, when
replatted, will front on two streets, such as Beachside Court and Beach Avenue,a
determination was made for similar properties listed below. The property is not
listed on the assessment roll, assuming it will be the intent of the owner to provide
sewer service from the fronting street which has an existing sewer other than Beach
Avenue,. However,the property would be subject to a future assessment if the
decision is made by the property owner to connect to the sewer on Beach Avenue, or
the property is replatted into two or more parcels, with one parcel fronting on Beach
Avenue:
RE Number Name Address Other Fronting
Street
169700-0000 Mary Belle Aldridge Trust Lots 67A, 68A Beach Ave. Seminole Rd.
169701-0000 John Heaney Lots 69A, 70A 2030 Beach Ave. Seminole Rd.
169712-0000 Louise Bissell Lot 71A, Beach Ave. Seminole Rd.
I have included three maps of Beach Avenue and the surrounding area, which depict the lots
to be assessed, with street addresses shown, and existing and proposed sewers. These maps
could be considered the official Assessment Maps. The larger version of the maps is in my
office at Public Works, and I have prepared new display maps with color codes for use
during the upcoming Public Hearing.
Please call if you need any further information. By copy of this memo, I am asking all
receiving parties to provide comments or questions that should be addressed at the Public
Hearing.
