AND THE ATLANTIC BEACH COUNTRY CLUB DEVELOPMENT REGARDING
MAINTENANCE OF A WOODEN BRIDGE, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Carper summarized the agreement with Atlantic Beach Partners and Atlantic Beach Country Club
stating it requires them to do all maintenance on the bridge; have bi-annual inspections using FDOT
standards; and to provide the City with a copy of the inspection report and their plan of action if any
deficiencies are noted. He answered questions from the Commission. Discussion ensued. It was
discussed changing the agreement to add that Atlantic Beach Country Club set aside a specific escrow
fund for maintenance and replacement of the bridge. Mr. Carper further stated that the maintenance
agreement allows the City, if the developer or country club does not maintain the bridge to the standards
required by FDOT, to come in and do the maintenance and then charge them for that. City Manager
Van Liere asked if the annexation process doesn't go through will the bridge be the City of
Jacksonville's. Mr. Carper stated the city limit line will bisect the bridge; it goes down the middle of the
creek. Mayor Woods clarified they will ask staff to add the above language regarding an escrow fund to
the agreement for the June 9 meeting.
Referring to Consent Agenda Item B, Commissioner Mark asked if everyone agreed to the 90-day
calendar. Discussion ensued. Mr. Van Liere explained the discussion from the last meeting of how the
calendar could work. Further discussion ensued.
Discussion ensued regarding the Ordinance and grouping all meetings on Monday meeting nights as
either a workshop or a voting meeting. Mayor Woods stated they would no longer need the calendar
because everything would be on those Mondays. She stated the question for staff would then be what
are the things that go onto the workshop agenda and what can routinely go on the voting meeting.
Commissioner Hill stated any Commissioner should be able to pull an agenda item for a full vote if it is
important enough to do so, so absentee isn't going to be a big issue. Mayor Woods stated the items that
would be on the voting agenda every time would be approval of the minutes. Mr. Van Liere stated they
are beginning to discuss another agenda item, the Ordinance in 7A. Mayor Woods stated they will go to
7A then.
7. Action on Ordinances
A. ORDINANCE NO. 5-14-61, Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2
OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, ADMINISTRATION, ARTICLE II, CITY COMMISSION, SEC.
2-16, TIME AND PLACE OF REGULAR MEETINGS, TO PROVIDE FOR TWO (2) REGULAR
MEETINGS PER MONTH EXCEPT FOR DECEMBER AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Van Liere stated part of what they just brought up was one of the things they struggled with trying
to come up with the hybrid version and how would staff decide which items would be heard once and
which items would be moved. He stated the Commission always has the option to defer something that
is on the agenda to the next meeting if they want to spend more time discussing it. He further
summarized the Ordinance and explained the chart and the timeline for agenda items, stating the other
part of their proposal was to add the extra week that the agenda is put out to the public for the meeting.
When asked by Commissioner Hill if the City Attorney sees any problem procedurally with any of the
discussed items, Mr. Komando clarified that it is the Commission's will in how they want to run the
meetings. He stated there are certain things that require two hearings and certain things that have to be
after a certain time, after 6:00, which they always do anyway, dealing with comp plan and zoning issues;
Minutes—City Commission Workshop May 27,2014
Page 4
but aside from that and the fact that ordinances require two meetings, he does not see any problems if
this is something they want to adopt. Mayor Woods stated then they will request staff to bring back a
revised ordinance at the next meeting. City Clerk Bartle stated it is on the agenda for first reading with
the time changed to 6:30. She stated they could add to it to adopt that chart as a standard. Mr. Van
Liere stated it is a guideline, not a rule; there will always be exceptions. (Commissioner Mark left the
meeting at 8:01 p.m. She returned at 8:03 p.m.) Discussion ensued. Following discussion about the
waiver for the driveway that is on the agenda later, Jeremy Hubsch explained waivers don't go to the
Community Development Board, but zoning variances do go to them and do not come before the
Commission. He stated use-by-exceptions go to the Board and then come before the Commission and
they do get noticed to all residents within 300 ft. of the proposed use-by-exception. Commissioner
Beckenbach stated he believes if the Community Development Board has that much authority they
should also be under a microscope and also have an agenda go out to the citizenry so the citizenry can
review what is being discussed as far the variation, changes or exceptions to the zoning. Mr. Hubsch
stated the agenda is put on the website also, so it is disseminated to the public. Further discussion
ensued. It was the consensus that the use-by-exceptions will come before the Commission twice.
(Commissioner Daugherty left the meeting at 8:11 p.m. He returned at 8:17 p.m.) Discussion ensued
regarding how to schedule the meetings/workshops. Mayor Woods stated she doesn't have a problem
with having the voting meeting and a workshop at every meeting. City Clerk Bartle stated an advantage
of having this all in one meeting is, if there was something that was meant for discussion, it can be
pulled out of order and addressed earlier in the meeting for whatever reason. She stated if they have to
wait until the workshop, they won't know what time the workshop is going to start to tell the people to
get here and have no option of letting them speak earlier. Commissioner Beckenbach stated he likes the
workshop and would still like to continue with the way it is currently. Mayor Woods stated they need a
clear consensus for staff and asked that each Commissioner give their opinion as to how they would like
staff to proceed. Commissioner Mark stated she is confused stating she doesn't know how to respond.
She stated she thought the next step was to either vote as it is being presented or move to amend and
discuss those amendments at the meeting to be voted on. She stated she doesn't have any amendments
to discuss. Commissioner Hill stated he wanted to give staff direction to follow the intent of what they
were presented, with the modifications that were discussed, regarding having the items for two
mandatory visits and not counting any other board as a touch point. He stated he would also like to vote
to review this in four meetings to make sure they haven't gotten into a track and talk about this one more
time during the workshop process and the fourth meeting and make sure it is working properly.
Commissioner Mark spoke to the use-by-exception and having the Commission review it twice. She
stated just because they have that for this Commission doesn't mean it will be on the future
Commissions. She stated for this Commission, fine, but she doesn't believe they should say that is
going to be etched in stone on any future Commissions. She further reminded them that the Community
Development Board is in place for a reason and they do a thorough job as far as their review. She stated
if this Commission believes they need to look at it two more times beyond the Community Development
Board, then that, to her, contradicts what they are trying to do as far as being a friendly town and getting
things done. She cautioned what those unattended consequences may be to do that and believes if you
have a use-by-exception you do your homework, talk to the applicant and do your own due diligence.
She reiterated just because they are going to put it twice on this Commission doesn't mean that is going
to be the way it is going to stay. Commissioner Hill stated the only reason he was comfortable with that
was that it didn't add time to it because of the new technique. He stated it didn't burden the homeowner
time wise and didn't slow a project down. He stated the visit was already going to happen. He stated
they condensed it into the same calendar period by doing it two times a month. Commissioner Mark
disagreed, stating the Community Development Board would look at it, they would send their
Minutes—City Commission Workshop May 27,2014
Page 5
recommendation, then the applicant would come here and then would have to come back for the
Commission to approve it. Mayor Woods explained she believes Commission Hill is saying the way the
meeting schedule is now it takes a month for us to look at it once and by changing the schedule they can
look at it twice in that same month. Commissioner Hill agreed that was all he was saying. He stated he
was conscientious that they didn't want to burden the citizen in the process and didn't add any time to it,
which he would have been real sensitive to. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Daugherty stated
he wants to have meetings like they used to have them with a little more notice and then having the time
from 5:00-6:30 set aside for any workshops they may decide they want to have. Mr. Van Liere recapped
they will use the chart as a guideline in assembling the agenda to determine whether or not certain things
are going to be seen twice under miscellaneous business and make sure the use-by-exceptions are seen
twice. Ms. Bartle clarified,with the first time being a discussion only.
B. ORDINANCE NO. 80-14-85,Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 UTILITIES, ARTICLE IV, RECLAIMED WATER
SYSTEM, ADDING SECTION 22-365 CHARGES FOR RECLAIMED WATER SERVICE,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Van Liere stated this is to establish the rates for the reuse water for the country club and the homes
that would be tied into it in the future. Public Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak further explained the
ordinance. She answered questions from the Commission. Discussion ensued regarding the rates. It
was consensus of the Commission to direct staff to bring the ordinance back with a 75% rate. Mr. Van
Liere stated they can set rates every year. He stated the master agreement they agreed to with the
country club had a lot of hoops to jump through to come up with the rate so they came up with the
market rate, industry standard. He stated a subsidized rate of 75% is about the going rate. Further
discussion ensued.
C. ORDINANCE NO. 80-14-86,Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 UTILITIES, ARTICLE II, AMENDING SECTION 22-
30, PRIVATE FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE TO PROVIDE METHOD OF MONITORING FIRE
LINE USAGE; TO PROVIDE FOR SEVERABILITY; TO PROVIDE FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Ms. Kaluzniak explained fire lines are water lines going into a building for fire protection. She stated
typically they aren't metered but in 2005 the City was concerned about water loss so they did an
ordinance to require all people putting in fire lines to meter those lines. She stated at the time it didn't
seem that onerous,just looking at the meter itself, but after you have to put it in and build a vault and do
a bypass line, etc. metering a fire line can add$14,000-20,000 for a business. She stated they would like
to change the ordinance so fire lines are only required to have what is called a detector check meter,
which she explained. She further explained in the ten years they have had the requirement to meter they
have not seen anybody stealing water through their fire line. She stated rather than keep hammering on
businesses, especially since they are still recovering from a recession, they would like to do the detector
check meter instead. Commissioner Hill asked if the detector check meter serves any purpose. He
stated the fire lines are monitored and will report an alarm that will generate a call to the fire department
and a response and asked if they couldn't just check the number of responses to a building in a year and
see if they have a problem, or do they want to know the volume of water that gets discharged each time.
Ms. Kaluzniak stated, no, with the detector check meter, they are just basically checking to see if water
went through it at all. Commissioner Hill stated he doesn't believe a detector meter is even necessary
because the business would not want to flow water in their building through that system because it is
Minutes—City Commission Workshop May 27,2014
Page 6
rusty. He stated it has no useful purpose whatsoever, unless they flow everyday in large quantities. He
stated also, it will sound an alarm if it's properly installed and it is inspected annually. He reiterated he
doesn't believe they need any kind of metering on that. Answering a question from Mayor Woods, Ms.
Kaluzniak stated the meters are fairly inexpensive, probably a few hundred dollars. Commissioner Hill
stated to have it installed would be around $3,000. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Hill stated if the
City suspects somebody is stealing water for some purpose, he would think there are other methods
because we are wasting money inspecting those meters and he believes that is pointless. He asked what
is driving the need for this. Ms. Kaluzniak stated they are just trying to reduce water loss. She
reiterated that over the last ten years they haven't seen anything go through the meters. Mr. Van Liere
stated they would do further research for the next meeting.
D. ORDINANCE NO. 20-14-127,Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF ATLANTIC
BEACH, FLORIDA FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2013 AND ENDING
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Van Liere explained the amendments to the budget. He stated the total is $179,224 in revenues and
expenses and a net of$44,862 additional expenses.
8. Miscellaneous Business
A. Public Hearing- UBEX-14-00100012- Request for use-by-exception as permitted by Section
24-112 (c)(5) to allow the permanent storage of automobiles and automotive repair in the Light
Industrial and Warehouse Zoning District located at 1840 South Mealy Street.
Jeremy Hubsch explained the use-by-exception, showing a slide of the site. He stated they have already
opened the business and the use-by-exception was initiated because they came in for their local business
tax receipt and they were told they had to get a use-by-exception per our Code. He stated there is
nothing we can do to stop them from opening up. Mayor Woods asked why we couldn't stop them from
opening. City Attorney Komando explained a business receipt tax is just the City's way to collect tax
for someone operating a business; it doesn't impart any authority for someone to open the business. Mr.
Hubsch stated if someone does open up in an area that doesn't meet the zoning, our Code Enforcement
Department can cite them for that and we can take them through the process. He explained sometimes
we will find out that a business opened without us knowing about it; Code Enforcement then goes to
them and informs them they aren't allowed to be in this district or they need to get the business tax
receipt which then spurs them to check the zoning and tell them whether they are approved or need to
get a use-by-exception. Commissioner Daugherty asked if this doesn't get approved, what happens to
their business. Mr. Komando stated then they are operating in violation of the ordinance and they can be
cited. Mayor Woods stated the business could be there but they couldn't do the things they don't get the
exception for, i.e. store their cars there. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Hill stated a concern about
employees living at the building. Mr. Hubsch stated the use-by-exception process is a contract between
the business and the Commission so they could put a condition in there that states no residential or no
persons staying overnight, etc. Mr. Komando stated he saw no problem with adding the condition but
the ability to enforce it on an operation that may run 24 hours/day may be difficult. Commissioner Hill
stated he just doesn't want them to have built-in dorms. Mr. Hubsch stated they will work on that
language before the June 9 meeting. He answered questions from the Commission. Further discussion
ensued. Mr. Carper further explained an issue with changing the use of the site. He stated there is a
1990 St. Johns River Water Management District Environmental Resource Permit on site for the file. He
Minutes—City Commission Workshop May 27,2014
Page 7
stated they have a dry retention basin in the Northwest corner. He stated he would recommend that we
require them to get that permit either renewed or updated based on their proposed use of the site. He
stated they are not proposing to add more impervious surface but if they are going to be routinely
parking cars on that, the Water Management District would consider that an impervious surface also.
Mayor Woods asked that Mr. Carper get with Mr. Hubsch to come up with the language for that.
B. Public Hearing - Request for a Waiver from City Code Section 19-7 Driveway Limitations to
Allow a Thirty-Foot Driveway at 436 Beach Avenue.
Mr. Carper stated the builder has constructed this driveway without a permit. He stated the permit was
on hold waiting for this waiver to be approved. He stated it is, therefore, within the City's power to tell
him to take the driveway out. He explained it is a paver driveway which requires both a right-of-way
permit and a revocable encroachment permit. He stated the residents have received their Certificate of
Occupancy and the house is occupied. He stated that was an error on his part. He stated he should not
have signed off on the Certificate of Occupancy, knowing the driveway had not been permitted. He
stated he did not know at the last Commission meeting, when this was discussed, that the driveway had
been constructed. Commissioner Hill asked about a curb at 7th and Beach that was completed by the
same builder. Mr. Carper stated that was put in at his direction. Commissioner Hill stated the problem
is that it is a real deep trough and it creates a hazard. He stated it is a tire trap for a bike. Mr. Carper
explained the purpose for this was that they had an issue of water from Beach Avenue running onto the
houses to the south and he was trying to direct water back to the north. Mayor Woods stated that was a
separate issue and asked if there were any other comments on the driveway. Commissioner Daugherty
asked why they wouldn't approve this driveway. Mr. Carper explained none of the other driveways
came through this process because this driveway limitation has only been in the Code for five years.
Those other driveways that are already wider than this were built before they had a restriction.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he is in favor of approving this because the homeowner is the one who
is the victim if they make them tear it up because we have already given them the CO. He stated he
would like to find a way to have this not happen again. Mr. Carper stated the check on this should have
been his signature on the Certificate of Occupancy but he made a mistake. Commissioner Hill stated he
agreed with Commissioner Daugherty and there is not a line of neighbors complaining so he believes
they should move on. He stated he is leaning toward approving it but that in the future they should
address these. Mr. Carper stated the builder was here at the workshop and nobody discussed it so he
thought he was good to go. Discussion ensued. Mr. Carper stated Public Works needs to tighten up our
Certificate of Occupancy inspections to make sure that what's on the ground before they sign off is what
is permitted. Discussion ensued regarding setbacks. Mr. Hubsch explained the background of what
occurred regarding the setbacks and permitting when the house was built. Further discussion ensued
regarding the driveway. Commissioner Mark stated she believes the builder needs to remove it, because
he knows what the processes are,having built in Atlantic Beach, and he took it upon himself to go ahead
and build this driveway knowing that we had not given him permission. She stated we should not
reward bad behavior. Commissioner Daugherty stated he would agree with Commissioner Mark except
there will be a cost associated with removing the driveway and putting it back later. He stated since they
had the CO,the resident has probably already paid the developer, so his question is who bears the cost.
Further discussion ensued. Mayor Woods asked that staff continue to research the garage issue.
C. Sewer Rehabilitation in Donner Subdivision HMGP Grant.
Minutes—City Commission Workshop May 27,2014
Page 8
Donna Kaluzniak explained this is for the Hazard Mitigation Grant we received from the Department of
Emergency Management. She stated similar to our other sewer rehab projects, staff would like to
piggyback on the Insituform and Concrete Conservation Inc. contracts to do the cured-in-place pipe and
manhole rehab and also have some contingency left for point repairs or to use for additional cured-in-
place or manhole rehab, as needed. She stated she is requesting permission to approve the same process
they have with the other sewer rehab projects.
D. Engineering Design of Stormwater Improvements for Seminole Road Drainage Improvements
and Streetscape Project(PW1407).
Mayor Woods stated the City Manager advised there is a revised version of the staff report. (The
revised staff report is attached and made part of this Official Record as Attachment A.) Rick
Carper explained this was one of the projects for the stormwater master plan and summarized the
project. He answered questions from the Commission.
Item 8F was taken out of sequence and acted on at this time.
F. Request from the Friends of Atlantic Beach Elementary School.
Commissioner Hill stated he wouldn't mind asking them to look at a soft track. Mayor Woods stated
that is what they are doing.
E. Sign Amortization.
Mayor Woods stated she would like to defer discussion on this item for two weeks. It was the consensus
of the Commission to defer discussion until June 9.
F. Request from the Friends of Atlantic Beach Elementary School.

DATE: May 12, 2014
STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: 13. Stormwater Master Plan Projects
BACKGROUND: In April,the Commission approved Staff's recommendation of Genesis
Group for the Engineering Design of Seminole Road Drainage Improvements and
Streetscape and authorized staff to negotiate scope and fees for these services.
Staff, in consultation with the City Manager, has reached agreement on the
Scope of Services and Fee proposal attached to this staff report. The Scope of
Services includes stormwater project design, geotechnical and environmental
services and environmental permitting. Also included is development of

workshops before final design choices are made. Design of a new water main to
replace the existing—60 year old 8" cast iron line with a new 12" PVC main is
included in this project. The complexity of the project is such that it will not be
ready for bidding in this fiscal year. The Base Fee proposal is $117,920.00,
including$17,000 for topographic survey.
BUDGET: Original budget for project PW1407 was $490,000, with $240,000 from
Stormwater Account, 470-0000-538-6300 and $250,000 in the Half Cent Sales
Tax Account, 131-5002-541-6300. $62,000 was transferred for the Stormwater
point repair on Sailfish Drive. Additional funds will be allocated to this project in
the new budget, including funds from the Water Enterprise Fund for
construction of the new water main.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission approve the Scope of Services and
Fee Proposal for Engineering Design for Seminole Road Drainage Improvements
and Streetscape and authorize the City Manager to sign the contract with
Genesis Group.
