Jensen, City Attorney T C Maureen King, City Clerk I 0 Y NAME OF ONEN COMMRS. N D S 0 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Gulliford. The invocation, offered by Commissioner Cook, was followed by the pledge to the flag. 1. Approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of June 25, 1990 Cook x Edwards x x Motion: Approve minutes of regular meeting of June 25, 1990 Tucker x x Weldon x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x Mayor Gulliford announced that the Atlantic Beach Little League nine- and ten-year-olds had won the Florida State Championship and displayed the trophy which had been presented to them. They will now proceed to the Southeast Regional Championships and the Mayor said he hoped the city could sponsor some kind of function to recognize their accomplishments. 2. Recognition of Visitors: Suzanne Shaughnessy, representing the Oceanwalk Association, presented a petition urging the installation of sidewalks/bike paths on Seminole Road, copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. She said a petition with a few signatures had previously been presented, but this one was representative of the entire Oceanwalk community. Mayor Gulliford said the city was aware of the need for sidewalks/ bike paths in this area and had established the installation of same as a priority, along with Plaza. He said a committee is working on this and when the City Engineer is on board it is hoped he will be able to work on this project and get it ready to go out to bid. He indicated this could be funded from gas tax revenues and would be considered in the budget for the upcoming year. Mike Kring, 211 Pine Street, said during the Comprehensive Plan hearings he had asked the city to consider the installation of bike paths, and since the city had identified the need for bike paths and considered them a priority, he hoped the city would make use of the expertise available through the Metropolitan Planning Organization's bicycle coordinator, Mr. Lee Smith, to develop the plan. PAGE TWO V V MINUTES NAME OF JULY 9, 1990 COMMRS. M S Y N J.C. Green, 2233 Seminole Road #8, addressed the City Commission on behalf of Ocean Village Association. He said the developers of Tiffany by the Sea had removed trees without first obtaining a permit, which resulted in a Stop Work order being placed on the project. Subsequently, a permit for the removal of additional trees for ingress and egress was issued by the designee of the Tree Conservation Board. Construction has not yet begun and the property is now overgrown with tall weeds and Mr. Green requested the city contact the developers and request they comply with the city's weed control ordinance. The Code Enforcement Officer was instructed to follow up on this. 3. Appearances A. Resource EAP on behalf of Northeast Florida Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, Inc. requests a donation of $100 to defray the cost of adding one additional staff member to the NEFCADA organization Since no representative of Resource EAP was in attendance, no action was taken on this request for donation. 4. Consent Agenda A. Change Order No. 14 on Section H Improvement Project to incorporate changes due to the relocation of Lift Station No. 1, representing a net decrease of $4,581.00 B. Change Order No. 17 on Section H Improvement Project to change the size of sewer pipe to avoid conflict between sewer and 23" EFM, representing a net increase of $1,240.00 C. Acceptance of sanitary sewer line on First Street between Jasmine and Camelia Streets, and Ninth Street between Orchid Street and Mayport Road Cook x Edwards x Motion: Approve passage of Consent Agenda Tucker s Weldon x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x 5. New Business: A. Request transfer of funds within Parks and Recreation Department Parks and Recreation Director Blanchard requested approval to use the balance of funds in her Capital Improvements budget to clear the recently acquired land adjacent to Donner Park and plant trees in the area of the playground in that park. She said she had received an estimate of $5,000 for underbrushing the land and had also received quotes for trees of various species and sizes. After brief discussion, Ms. Blanchard was authorized to proceed to invite bids for removal of the underbrush, but it was felt it would PAGE THREE V V MINUTES NAME OF JULY 9, 1990 COMMRS. MSYN be prudent to wait until a proposed design for the park had been established in order to avoid the possibility of having to relocate any of the trees at a future date. Commissioner Edwards felt it would be better to plant the trees later in the year when the weather was cooler. Cook x Edwards x x Motion: Authorize solicitation of bids for land clearing at Tucker x a budget not to exceed $5,000 Weldon x x Gulliford x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Finance Director Royal said he would prefer to wait until after the bids had been received before doing the budget adjustment and the City Commission concurred in this request. Commissioner Tucker requested that the balance of funds be allocated for the purpose of capital improvements in the parks, and Finance Director Royal said it had already been allocated for park improvements. B. Discussion with related action regarding the request an ordinance be written regarding fee for use of police vehicles on off-duty details Chief Thompson explained a number of businesses and individuals hire off-duty police officers, many of which involve the use of a patrol car. Police officers are paid directly by such entities for their services, however, no compensation has been made to the city for the use of the patrol cars. He suggested a fee schedule be established for such occasions. Mayor Gulliford asked whether any hold harmless agreements or liability insurance had been provided to protect the city in the use of police vehicles. Commissioner Weldon said twenty events requiring off-duty police officers and police cars had been requested for July. He said he supported Chief Thompson in this matter and asked whether an ordinance was necessary. The City Manager explained charges for other city vehicles and equipment were provided in the city code but he would prefer that the code refer to a resolution wherein the City Commission could establish fees and review them annually. Chief Thompson said various questions regarding administration, liability, Workers Compensation and payment of fees were being considered. Motion: Authorize City Manager and Police Chief to negotiate the use of police cars in those events where they Cook x x feel the safety factor would require the utilization Edwards x x of police cars in conjunction with the off-duty Tucker x police officer, and also, authorize the City Manager Weldon x and Police Chief to attempt to negotiate hold Gulliford x harmless agreements and insurance coverage where possible, and set a flat fee of $25.00 per car per event PAGE FOUR V V MINUTES NAME OF JULY 9, 1990 COMMRS. MSYN In discussion before the vote, Commissioner Weldon suggested this matter be discussed with the city's insurance carrier before entering into any agreement. Commissioner Cook said he would prefer that the fee schedule be on an hourly basis. The question was called and the motion carried unanimously. 6. City Manager reports and/or correspondence A. Report on rumble strips by Chief David Thompson Chief Thompson reported that in general, the Police Department opposed the use of rumble strips as a means of traffic control, their purpose being to alert drivers to upcoming traffic hazards. He said rumble strips which are large enough to cause traffic to slow down could become a liability to the city because of the possibility of damage to cars. The Police Department would prefer to monitor traffic speeds and write citations where necessary. Because of the number of traffic accidents at Royal Palm Drive and Plaza, and the failure of all other measures tried, rumble strips were installed on Royal Palm Drive, but Chief Thompson said he knew of no other location in the city that had such a history of accidents. Chief Thompson reported traffic analysis of Sailfish Drive had shown the average speed to be 22.8 MPH which he did not feel would justify the installation of rumble strips. Regarding the north end of Beach Avenue, Chief Thompson said the pavement is in very poor condition and recommended reviewing the matter again after the roadway has been improved. The City Manager reported he and Finance Director Royal had met with Burton and Associates to negotiate an agreement for Financial Consultant services for the city. He hoped to have an agreement ready for City Commission approval at the next meeting. The City Manager confirmed that the City Commission had received in their agenda packets a status report regarding Change Orders on the Section H project. 7. Mayor to call on City Commissioners, City Attorney and City Clerk: A. Report on location of Alice Wilson City Attorney Jensen reported he had located Alice Wilson, owner of Lot 16, Block 1, Donner's Replat #2. He said she is interested in selling this property to the city and noted that an adjoining lot had been assessed at $3,600. He asked the wishes of the Commission. Motion: Authorize the City Attorney to offer up to $3,600 Cook x x for the purchase of Lot 16, Block 1, Donner's Replat Edwards x #2, and in the event the owner does not accept this Tucker x x offer, authorize the City Attorney to have the Weldon x property appraised Gulliford x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. PAGE FIVE V V MINUTES NAME OF JULY 9, 1990 COMMRS. M S Y N B. Topic of proposed ordinance concerning height restrictions on substandard lots The City Attorney reported he had reviewed the current city ordinances and with the exception of secondary dwellings at 25 ft. , accessory buildings at one story, and RMH zoning districts, 35 ft. is the standard permissible height throughout the city. Variances to the height restrictions are in accordance with Section 156, Chapter 24. He asked what height restrictions the City Commission wanted to provide in the proposed ordinance. Discussion ensued relative to the height/square footage formula which had been discussed at a previous meeting, and the City Attorney felt there could be more of a legal problems with the formula than with the current situation where any structure on a substandard lot has to be approved by both the Community Development Board and the City Commission. He felt the height of the building should be taken into consideration at that time. After further discussion it was decided to draft an ordinance which would include the formula and also the wording "or at the discretion of the Community Development Board and the City Commission." Brief discussion also ensued regarding how the height of buildings should be measured. Motion: Direct City Attorney to draft ordinance establishing Cook x height restrictions on substandard lots, said Edwards x ordinance to include the height/square footage Tucker x x formula as outlined in the City Manager's memorandum Weldon x x dated June 21, 1990 to the Mayor and City Gulliford x Commission (attached) , along with the wording "or at the discretion of the Community Development Board and City Commission" No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. The City Attorney said he also wished to confirm that he had been authorized to negotiate for the purchase of six houses behind the sewer plant. The City Commission confirmed that he should proceed at a cost not to exceed the total assessed value of the property and that monies from restricted sewer improvements funds could be used for this purchase. Mayor Gulliford said he had received letters from others in that area offering their properties for sale to the city and he passed these along to the City Manager and asked that he look into the matter and report back. Mayor Gulliford reported a change of ownership of property at the north end of Beach Avenue and asked that the City Attorney contact the new owner as well as other property owners in that area in a final attempt to have each deed to the city a 12 1/2 foot right-of-way which could then be dedicated to the city as a 25 foot PAGE SIX V V MINUTES NAME OF JULY 9, 1990 COMMRS. M S Y N residential alley. The City Attorney was authorized to draft the necessary documents and send them to the property owners by certified mail in the hope this would resolve the matter. Commissioner Edwards requested a Resolution supporting Amendment #3 regarding unfunded mandates be drafted for action by the City Commission at the next meeting and also publicize Amendment #3 in the next newsletter. Mayor Gulliford encouraged the Commissioners to make personal contributions to that effort. Commissioner Cook inquired whether the palm trees being removed from the old Bennett's Motel property had been properly permitted and was advised in the affirmative. Commissioner Weldon asked that yellow lines similar to those on the Neptune Beach side of Atlantic Boulevard be painted on the roadway at Ocean Boulevard and East Coast Drive at their respective intersections with Atlantic Boulevard. He felt this would be helpful. Mayor Gulliford announced the resignation of Peggy Cornelius from the Tree Conservation Board and suggested Bob Frohwein as a replacement to fill the unexpired term. He said he did not know if Mr. Frohwein would be willing to serve as he had not discussed the matter with him, but absent any objections from the City Commission, he would plan to contact him in this regard. Cook x Edwards x x Motion: Support the Mayor's decision to contact Bob Frohwein Tucker x x regarding appointment to Tree Conservation Board Weldon x Gulliford x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. The Mayor said he hoped to have some information regarding a grade-all to report to the City Commission at the next meeting. There being no further business to come before the City Commission, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM. 4k/A William I.

Basically conversation of the board members evolved around the concept of limiting the height of structures on substandard lots. The first considered was suggested from a citizen and would provide for the existing 35' height restriction on standard lots while restricting height of buildings on substandard lots to 25' . Upon discussing the matter with the City Attorney it was felt that such a double standard might be hard to defend should the same be challenged. A second idea was to allow the heights of structures on substandard lots as a percentage of the area of the substandard lot compared to the minimum requirements of the zoning district and applying the same to the 35' limitation. For example, in a 5,000 square foot minimum lot area (which is the standard configuration) wherein an individual propose to build on a substandard lot of 4,000 square feet, the percentage of 20% differential would be applied to the 35' height requirement and result in a net allowable building height of 28' (20% x 35' equal 7' -- 35' - 7' equals 28' ) . This maintains a proportion of building height to available land area. Furthermore, should an individual desire a height in excess of that required by such a restriction, they could always seek recourse through our variance process. The final idea was to maintain a 35' height restriction on both standard and substandard lots as is now the case. Of the four members present, three felt the proportional height restriction on substandard lots would be most desirable while one felt the 35' parameter for both substandard and standard lots would be in the best interest of the City. These comments are provided for your consideration as you deliberate in the possible adoption of this ordinance. Thank you for your consideration and please do not hesitate to contact this office if you have any questions or desire additional information. Sincerely, (4/:'62 " I/ ;1 Kim D.
