held in front of the Sea Turtle Inn on August 29, 1993 .
Several questions arose relative to noise that would be
generated from the event, liability to the city, safety
of the people in the surf, and the length of the racing
course. It was explained the course would be marked, the
location could be specified by the City, and life guard
vehicular traffic would not be blocked. The races would
last from about 9 :00 a. m. until 4: 00 p. m. , and the jet
skis would launch at the end of Atlantic Boulevard.

Hotwater Tour, the organizer of the event, would provide

2. Recognition of Visitors:
Joan Bednar, 369 Ahern Street, requested an amendment to
V V
Page 3 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
the City' s Animal Control Ordinance to allow the pot
bellied pig to be kept as a house pet. She indicated she
owned a Vietnamese pot bellied pig which was a
domesticated pig and not a farm animal. Two neighbors of
Ms. Bednar, Sally Alderman 222 7th Street, and Joan
Beckner, 369 Ahern Street, testified as to the
cleanliness of the pig and they indicated they felt the
ordinance should be amended to allow the animal as a pet.
B. J. Lester, Animal Control Officer, reported the City
of Jacksonville allowed pot bellied pigs as pets with the
stipulation that the pig had to be on a leash, tested for
rabies, have a city license, and be neutered.
The matter was referred to the City Manager who agreed,
with assistance from the City Attorney, to prepare an
amended ordinance for the June 14, 1993 meeting to allow
pot bellied pigs as pets .
William Morgan, 1945 Beach Avenue, explained he owned
property immediately north of 19th Street. He indicated
the property contained a low spot which did not drain
after a large rainfall . He added stormwater from 19th
Street drained onto his property and large puddles
accumulated after it rained. He explained he intended to
build on the property in the future, but he felt at the
present time his lot was acting as a stormwater retention
pond. He asked the Commission to consider the matter and
take steps to see that the storm water was drained in an
appropriate manner. He felt it was not his
responsibility to install drainage.
A long discussion ensued relative to whether it was the
city' s responsibility to provide drainage to a small
developer. Bob Kosoy, Public Works Director, felt it was
the property owner' s responsibility to address the
drainage problem when he developed his property. It was
explained that in larger developments retention ponds
were installed and the homeowners paid for the retention
pond.
Edwards
Motion: Establish a policy whereby on an acre Fletcher
or less of property the City would not hold Tucker
the property owner responsibility for Waters x
installing storm drains Gulliford
Motion died for lack of a second.
V V
Page 4 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMAS. MSYN
It was felt drainage should be dealt with as a city-wide
problem, and that matters such as this be treated on a
case by case basis.
It was explained the City' s Storm Water Master Plan would
be in effect within two to three years and at that time
drainage would be in place. Mr. Morgan agreed that he
would wait two to three years until the City' s Storm
Water Drainage was in place before building on the
parcel . The Commission agreed Mr. Morgan would not have
to install a catch basin on the parcel .
Bob Weiss thanked the Police Department and the Fire
Department for their excellent work during "Dancing in
the Streets" festival . He reported 1 , 050 signatures were
collected on a petition to place the matter of Ocean
County on the upcoming ballot.
Barbara Bonner, 463 Selva Lakes Circle, inquired as to
the cost of shrubbery at 11th Street Water Plant. She
felt the shrubbery was excessive and that it could have
been placed where it would be more visible to the public.
Bob Kosoy explained the area had been heavily wooded and
he had received complaints because trees and shrubs were
removed. He explained the city planted shrubs and trees,
using Enterprise Funds, to provide a buffer between the
water plant and the adjacent residences.
Mr. Kosoy explained the drainage problem would be
corrected after the water plant was completed. It was
explained the contractor would have to pay for any damage
he incurred. Commissioner Waters asked that the weeds and
underbrush be cut down. Bob Kosoy explained a chain link
fence would be installed, and he was asked to keep the
Commission apprised concerning the matter.
4. Old Business:
A. Report on Ordinance #95-93-56 regarding
solicitation
Kim Leinbach, City Manager, reported the Committee
appointed to study Ordinance #95-93-56 had met and
recommended many changes, and the City Attorney was
preparing the proposed revised ordinance. He reported it
would be necessary to have the ordinance read on its
first reading because substantial changes had been made,

Fletcher x x
Motion: Approve passage of Consent Agenda Tucker x
with the exception of items A and B Waters x x
Gulliford x
No discussion before the vote. The motion carried
unanimously.
A. Water and Sewer Committee Report
Commissioner Waters asked why the City was required to
obtain a permit for the common beaches outfall line. Mr.
Kosoy explained the DER had requested that the three
beach cities obtain a permit for a joint Water Qu ality
Based Effluent Limitation Study (WQBEL ) . By so doing,
individual studies would not have to be undertaken by
each city. The Commission accepted the Water and Sewer
Committee Report #40 dated May 17, 1993 .
B. Authorization to purchase Rubber Tire Excavator off
State Contract
Mayor Gulliford declared a conflict of interest relative
to Consent Agenda Item B. He explained his Company
represented the only two manufacturers of this equipment.
He explained the manufacturer paid his company a fee to
take care of the warranty and deliver the equipment.
Commissioner Waters inquired if this equipment would
clean ditches in Aquatic Gardens, to which Mr. Kosoy
replied it would not and that another piece of equipment
would be needed. Mr. Kosoy reported the machine would
•
clean the ditch on Seminole Road.

7. Ordinances:
A. Ordinance #60-93-7 - Public Hearing
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH AMENDING
CHAPTER 17; SECTION 17-1, CERTAIN SIGNS EXEMPTED;
PROVIDING FOR LIMITATIONS AND REGULATIONS FOR CANDIDATE
SIGNS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Gulliford presented in full, in writing, Ordinance
#60-93-7, said Ordinance having been posted in accordance
with Charter requirements. He opened the floor for a
public hearing and invited comments from the audience.
Several people spoke concerning the proposed ordinance.
Some of the concerns were as follows: it was felt the
ordinance infringed upon the rights of property owners
because it specified where one could or could not place
signs, objections were raised concerning the size of the
sign allowed and it was felt a height limitation should
be included; and it was felt that the Garden Club would
not be happy if the ordinance was passed because many
signs would be placed throughout the city.
George Worley, City Planner, explained in drafting the
ordinance two difficult points were the size and the
number of signs . He indicated it was necessary to place
some type of size limitation on signs, and he added it
would be possible to reduce the size of the sign. He
V V
Page 8 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
indicated the ordinance was designed to keep people from
putting signs right next to one another.
Since no one wished to speak further the Mayor closed the
public hearing. Edwards x
Motion: Approve passage of ordinance #60-93-7 Fletcher x x
Waters
on Final Reading x

right-of-way, that signs should be limited to one sign
per candidate on each property, that a $10.00 fine should
be levied against a property owner if he failed to remove
a sign within 24 hours, that no sign should be placed
before a candidate had qualified, and that signs should
not be more than 2 ' x 2 ' .
Edwards X
Substitute Motion: Approve passage of Fletcher x x
ordinance #60-93-7 on its final reading with Tucker x x
the following amendments: signs should be Waters x

candidate, a $10.00 fine shall be imposed
against a property owner if he failed to

be placed before a candidate qualified, and
signs should not be more than 2 ' x 2 '
A discussion ensued and it was felt signs should not be
.higher than 4 ' .
Edwards x
Fletcher x
Amended Substitute Motion: That signs shall Tucker X X
not be higher than 4 ' Waters x x
Gulliford x
The question was called on the amended substitute motion
and the vote resulted in all ayes. The motion carried
unanimously.
Commissioner Edwards felt an effort was being made to try
to beautify the city, but he felt the proposed ordinance
would allow too many signs.
Commissioner Waters felt the right to place signs and
V V
Page 9 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
wave signs was an indication of the political freedoms
enjoyed in this country and he felt this was the right of
the people in a free and democratic society.
The question was called on the substitute motion and the
vote was 2-3 with Commissioners Edwards and Tucker and
Mayor Gulliford voting nay. The motion failed.
The question was called on the original motion to approve
the ordinance on its final reading and the vote was 2-3,
with Commissioners Edwards and Tucker and Mayor Gulliford
voting nay. The motion failed.
8. New Business:
A. Public hearing with discussion and related action
concerning the proposal to accept permit parking on
10th Street between Beach Avenue and Ocean
Boulevard
Mayor Gulliford presented a petition requesting permit
parking along a portion of 10th Street between Beach
Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. He explained the City
Clerk ' s Office had posted a Notice of Public Hearing and
the topic was being presented for discussion.
The Mayor opened the floor for a public hearing.
Since no one wished to speak the Mayor closed the public
hearing. Edwards x x
Fletcher x x
Motion: Approve permit parking on 10th Street Tucker x
between Beach Avenue and Ocean Boulevard Waters x
Gulliford x
Chief Thompson indicated the Parking Committee was in
favor of the parking request, but it was felt the
proposed layout was confusing. He indicated it would be
more practical to have all visitor spaces together and
all permitted spaces together. The Mayor asked Chief
Thompson to meet with involved parties and come to an
agreement on an amended parking plan. The Mayor
indicated the Commission wished to be advised of the
agreement that was reached.
B. Discussion and related action relative to Appeal of
Variance Denial at 522 Clippership Lane
•
V V
Pagel() NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
George Worley presented an appeal of denial of the
Community Development Board for a variance to place a
roof over a patio located at 522 Clippership Lane. Mr.
Worley explained Mr. & Mrs. Mizell applied to the
Community Development Board for a Variance to permit the
construction of a glass and brick room addition to the
rear of their residence and that such addition would
encroach the rear setback requirement by ten feet. The
purpose of the addition was to house a billiards table
and as a recreation room. The Board denied the
application, the Mizells appealed, and the Commission
denied the appeal .
The Mizells redesigned the addition to include only a
roof over the patio with no walls of any kind, and
resubmitted the application to the Community Development
Board. At the meeting the Board considered the question
of substantial difference and found by a vote of 4-1 that
this request was substantially different and that the
application would be considered for action. It was
further explained that if the addition were redefined to
be an accessory building the applicant would then be in
violation because of another existing free standing
storage building on the lot. The Board subsequently
found that this addition was not an accessory building
and that no hardship existed, and the variance request
was denied.
Edwards
Motion: Grant request for a variance to place Fletcher
a roof over patio with no walls of any kind at Tucker x
522 Clippership Lane Waters
Gulliford x
Commissioner Waters asked if this addition could be built
if it was a new structure, to which Don Ford replied a
variance would be required. Commissioner Tucker
indicated there were 23 names of neighbors who had no
objections to the patio roof. A long discussion ensued
regarding whether the variance should be granted. Mayor
Gulliford felt the ordinance did not state the structure
had to be detached. He explained the roof would cover
the existing patio, and he suggested the permit could
state the homeowner would not be allowed to enclose the
structure as a heated and cooled living space.
Commissioner Waters felt it was legal to build a
driveway, patio, or sidewalk, but not a roofed structure.

No discussion before the vote. The motion carried
unanimously.
C. Discussion and related action relative to Appeal of
Variance Denial by Robert Lowther
George Worley presented an appeal of a decision of the
Community Development Board denying Robert Lowther, 251
Ocean Forest Drive N. , a variance to the rear yard
setback to allow construction of a room addition to
within 10 feet of the rear property line. The proposed
room would be heated and cooled. Mr. Worley reported the
Community Development Board found no hardship except that
created by the design of the builder. The house was
located as far back as possible on the lot to comply with
Oceanwalk setbacks. The Board determined that granting
this variance would convey to the property owner a
privilege generally denied to other property owners in
the same zoning district, i . e. a reduced rear yard
setback of only 10 feet.
Robert Lowther presented a letter from a doctor
indicating his wife was ill, and he explained the
construction of the room addition would provide a more
complete life at home for her.
Edwards
Motion: Accept recommendation of Community FletcherTuck

Development Board to deny variance to the rear Waterr

addition to within 10 feet of the rear Gulliford
property line at 251 Ocean Forest Drive N.

Pagel2 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
Jim Lucas explained the property backed on to Hanna Park,
and the request had been reviewed by the Oceanwalk
architectural board and they found no problem.
It was explained Mr. Lowther, when he presented his
request to the Community Development Board, did not
include a copy of the letter from the doctor of Mrs.
Lowther indicating she was ill .
A discussion ensued regarding sending the matter back to
the Community Development Board to give them an
opportunity to study the information that had been
presented to the Commission relative to the health of
Mrs. Lowther.
Edwards x
Motion: Defer action on appeal until June 14, Fletcher x x
1993 so that City Attorney can review whether Tucker x
the matter could be returned to the Community Waters x x
Development Board to consider the evidence of Gulliford x
hardship presented to the Commission
The question was called and the motion carried
unanimously.
D. Discussion and related action relative to request
for rezoning of Ashland Mini Storage (this was
withdrawn from the agenda at the request of Ashland
Mini Storage)
E. Discussion and related action relative to request
for rezoning of Pan Am Mini Storage complex
George Worley presented a request from Pan Am Mini
Storage, 2383 Mayport Road, to rezone from CG commercial
general to ILW industrial light warehousing. This would
permit Pan Am to provide the service of outside storage
of automobiles in conjunction with the mini storage
business. The CG zoning does not permit outside storage
of automobiles. Mr. Worley reported the Community
Development Board unanimously concluded that, although
there had been no direct complaints about Pan Am' s
operation, the rezoning would open up considerable
potential for heavier uses to encroach upon Mayport Road.
The change of zoning from CG to ILW would allow outside
storage of automobiles but would also allow bulk storage
yards, heaving equipment sales and repair yards, and even
V V
Pagel3 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
the possibility of concrete batching plants. Mr. Worley
reported because of the potential problems created by
such zoning on a busy road like Mayport Road the board
unanimously recommended denial of the requested rezoning.
A draft ordinance was presented which would accomplish
the requested rezoning. It was explained the ordinance
would appear on its first reading at the meeting of June
14, 1993, and 30 days thereafter a public hearing would
be held. It was explained proper notices would be sent
to adjacent property owners prior to the public hearing.
F. Discussion and related action to Change Order #6
for an additional $7, 957 for Water Treatment Plant
1 & 2 Improvements
Bob Kosoy presented a request for approval for Change
Order No. 6 Water Treatment Plant 1 & 2 Improvements in
the amount of $7, 957.00 providing for various items of
additional work outlined in Attachment A & B, (copies of
Attachment A & B attached herewith and made a part
hereto) . Edwards x
Motion: Approve Change Order #6 for Water Fletcher x x
Treatment Plant 1 & 2 Improvements in the Tucker x
amount of $7, 957 as outlined in Attachment A & Waters x x
B attached herewith Gulliford x
Commissioner Edwards felt there were too many change
orders which resulted in additional cost to the City, to
which Mr. Kosoy replied the project was of a complex
nature and that efforts would be made to do a better job
in the future.
The question was called and the motion carried
unanimously.
G. Discussion and related action relative to a
committal letter with Barnett Bank for
water/wastewater capital financing
Kirk Wendland, Finance Director, gave the Commission an
update concerning the committal letter with Barnett Bank.
He indicated a copy had been sent to the City Attorney
for review, and they were waiting to hear from Foley
Lardner concerning the matter. He indicated a special
V V
Pagel4 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
meeting might have to be scheduled if the committal
letter was ready so that the July 1, 1993 deadline would
be met.
H. Discussion and related action relative to contract
for Deputy City Manager
Mayor Gulliford indicated he would like the contract for
the Deputy City Manager to be discussed at a special
called meeting to be held Wednesday, June 2, 1993, at
7: 30 p. m.
9. City Manager Reports and/or Correspondence:
Kim Leinbach reported an addition to the existing Public
Works building would cost approximately $3, 700 and since
this amount fell under the discretion of the City
Manager, work would proceed.
Mr. Leinbach reported the Community Development Board
would like to hold a joint meeting with the Commission at
6 :00 p. m. , Monday, June 14, 1993 ( prior to the regular
Commission meeting ) .
Commissioner Fletcher inquired as to the status of
commercial recycling, to which Kim Leinbach replied he
would report to Commissioner Fletcher concerning this
matter. Commissioner Fletcher referred to a letter from
Sonja Plant, City of Baldwin, regarding funds for
recyclable items sold through the City of Jacksonville.
Kim Leinbach indicated he would study the letter and
report back to Commissioner Fletcher.
Commissioner Fletcher indicated the Jacksonville
Transportation Authority ( JTA) requested the City
contribute either $1, 000 or an in kind contribution to
advertise the summer shuttle service. Commissioner
Fletcher indicated his desire to have the City advertise
concerning the shuttle service.
Commissioner Fletcher referred to the refunding of Gulf
Breeze Notes, and he indicated his desire to pay off the
notes independent from the City of Arcadia. Kirk
Wendland agreed with Commissioner Fletcher, but he
indicated he had pursued the matter and the conditions
that were stipulated by Gulf Breeze were very complicated
and cumbersome and thus many other cities were prepaying
V V
Page15 NAME OF
May 24, 1993 COMMRS. MSYN
the bonds through Arcadia. He indicated he would further
explore the possibility of the City prepaying the notes.
Commissioner Fletcher indicated his desire to have a
status report concerning the allocation of Community
Development Block Grant funds.
Commissioner Fletcher asked the Mayor to appoint Dezmond
Waters to fill the slot vacated by Commissioner Tucker on
the Zoning Committee. Mayor Gulliford appointed
Commissioner Waters and Dorothy Kerber to serve on the
Zoning Committee.
Commissioner Fletcher suggested naming the water plant
after Pappy Parks, a former city engineer and Atlantic
Beach resident. Edwards x
Fletcher x x
Motion: Name Water Plant after Pappy Parks Tucker x
Waters x x
No discussion before the vote. The motion carried Gulliford x
unanimously.
Commissioner Waters reported the Mayor ' s Recreation
Select Committee and the Recreation Advisory Board had
held a joint meeting. He indicated it was reported the
City of Jacksonville Beach charged $5 . 00 surcharge for
Ponte Vedra Little League players. He reported the
Recreation Advisory Board felt in the past they had made
recommendations but there was no revenue for suggested
projects . Mayor Gulliford asked Commissioner Waters to
have a report concerning the Mayor ' s Recreation Select
Committee by July 4, 1993 .
Mayor Gulliford referred to the ditch at Simmons Road and
he reported it was not flowing, to which Bob Kosoy
