Advisory Planning Board A. Chairman John Andresen - City of Atlantic Beach Comprehensive Plan A report from Mr. John F. Andresen, Chairman of the Local Planning Agency, was read by Mr. Davis. The letter stated that the work on the Comprehensive Plan for Atlantic Beach was completed and recommende• that the Commission forward a copy of the Plan Document to the Depart- ment of Community Affairs for their review. The deadline for adoption is July 1, 1981, and the DCA comments should be helpful in the Commissi•n's review of the Plan. Mr. Andresen suggested that each Commissioner study two (2) of the nine (9) elements as a committee of one, instead of all reading the entire plan. For the record, he expressed thanks to the Board members, Harold Mullins, Dick Rigsbee, Donna Ross, Marvin Hill, Bill Davis,- Commissioners Van Ness and Jensen, and Mayor Howell for their efforts in working on the Plan since 1975. The Mayor thanked Mr. Andresen for his report. Jensen x Motion: The Comprehensive Plan for Atlantic Beach be forwarded to Mhoon x x the Department of Community Affairs for their review.

Additionally, some consideration has also been given to altering the per diem and the cost of overnight room accommodations to be more in line with current costs. Mr. Davis requested that a committee be formed to study the matter. Jensen x Motion: A committee be formed to study the possibility of Mhoon x x elevating the costs for mileage and per diem.

Mr. Davis added that Mr. Edwards had advised him that the inventory was low on water meters and he requested permission to purchase 100 5/8" x 3/4" water meters under the City of Jacksonville Bid No. S-0573-79 at a unit price of $29.75 each. Purchasing the meters by this method is saving the City of Atlantic Beach approximately $6.00 per meter. It will be necessary to transfer an amount of money set forth in transfer Resolution No. 80-5. New Business A. Eberling Builders, Inc.-requesting permission to tap into City's ater The City Manager read a letter from Mr. Rick Giles, Vice President of Eberling Builders, Inc. stating that they had purchased property in Seminole Beach fronting on Beach Avenue, which has a utility easement thru to the east side of Seminole Road, and gives access t. the City of Atlantic Beach's 8" water main, They requested permission to tap the 8" line. The meters would be located on Seminole Road and they will be responsible to install and maintain the lines from the meters to the units. The use for the property is triplex and will use three 1" (one inch) meters, The Mayor asked Mr, Eberling if he realized that the City's responsibility stops at the meter and Eberling Builders will have no cost recovery on any expenses incurred. The Mayor advised Mr. Eberling of an additional $50,00 tap-in charge per meter for hooking directly onto this particular line due to a recent court case. The City will hold this money until the case is finally adjudicated. Mr, Eberling agreed to the charge of $150.00.

MS Y N New Business - Eberling Builders - continued Mr. Davis asked if the motion could be amended to also meet the approval of the City Engineer on the construction of the water lines adding that from a sanitary standpoint, consideration should be given by the engineer. Mr. Parks remarked that the City makes the connect_ ons up to and including the meter, and the developer takes it from there. All the pipes have to be sterilized; Mayor Howell asserted that whatever the costs are to meet the requirements of the City in order to hook up will be borne by the builder, with no hope of any reimburse- ment by the City. Mr, Eberling said he understood this.

Mr. W. A. Bull - Approval for "78" Place" - Old Airport Property Mayor Howell recognized Mr. Harcourt Bull, III. Mr. Bull discussed "78" Place which was previously reviewed with the Commission on MINUTES V V PAGE FOUR Names of JUNE 23, 1980 Commrs . M S Y N New Business - continued - Mr. Bull November 11th and 26, 1979, by Richard Hamilton and his partner, Jim Alexander. Mr. Bull presented a map of the Planned Unit Develop- ment plan for 70 acres (referred to as"Old Bull Airport") that was approved by the Commission in 1974. He stated he would like to revie the 60' right-of-way that was discussed in both the November 12th an. 26, 1979 minutes, and explained that the R.C.B.S Corp. has been liquidated, and divided into several pieces: the area south of 11th St. now belongs to George Bull, Sr. ; lands north of that belong to the heirs of Harcourt Bull's estate; lands westerly belong to Bill Bull and Harcourt Bull, III, which includes "78" Place, and the others belong to Brenda Bull, widow of Harcourt Bull. Mr. Bull then referred back to the minutes of December 22, 1975 concerning a property exchange authorized between the City of Atlantic Beach and R.C.B.S. Corp. that was of mutual interest to both parties. The exchange was 9.1 acres to be used for the new sanitation plant, and R.C.B.S took a deed that was placed in escrow for 1.2 acres where the city yard is presently located, and the westerly extension of the right-of-way of 11th Street. In addition, R.C.B.S. agreed to provide a paved road which runs up from Plaza along the easterly side of Royal Palms Unit 1 for access to the sanitation plant. Mr. Bull specified that Mr. Hamilton had agreed to deed a 30' right-of-way without consulting the owners who do not desire to have 11th St. a thoroughfare. Mr. Bull expressed the opinion that the City of Atlan is Beach should comply with the contract approved in 1974. The Mayor asked if Mr. George Bull, the owner to the south, was aware of his plans in regards to the subdivision, as approval of Mr. Bull's request would almost certainly lock in the various ingress and egres . roads that are shown on the plans that were originally approved by the Advisory Planning Board and the City Commission in 1974. Mr. Bull stated that 11th Street remains in his ownership, and he felt sure that Mr. George Bull realized this. The Mayor pointed out that the plan was approved some years ago by the City Commission and that the owner and/or assigns of the property must realize that if this is going to be done in certain sections,that they are going to be more firmly locked into the original plan, than if they were asking some change of the entire area. There have been too many instances of the Commission approving one plan, and the 'property is sold once or twice and the new owners all have different ideas. He expressed the view that it was time for the City Commission to start locking-ii on the plan originally presented. Mr. Bull agreed and suggested a letter of intent be prepared to all parties. The Mayor agreed and suggested that since there was a minor change in the new plan, it should be referred back to the Planning Board along with original plan that was originally approved. He also suggested that Mr. Bull present some-type of notification that he has notified the other property owners of what has been approved and what his plans are. Mr. Bull agreed.

FLORIDA 32233 June 23, 1980 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT I notice that surrounding municipalities, i.e. , Neptune Beach, Jackson- ville Beach, the City of Jacksonville, have elevated their cost per mile for transportation via private vehicle. Additionally, some consi- deration has also been given to altering the per diem and the cost of overnight room accommodations to be more in keeping with current costs. I respectfully request the formation of a committee of Commissioners for the purpose of ascertaining the appropriate and proper level of these kinds of expenses insofar as the City of Atlantic Beach is concerned. Mr. John McGiffin III has furnished a certificate of insurability for the purpose of a fireworks display planned at his residence on the oceanfront the weekend prior to the Fourth of July. The insurance coverage would appear to be sufficient and the fireworks display is to be handled by the American Fireworks Company. In an effort to maintain an inventory of workable water meters for replace- ment purposes and/or new construction, I am advised by Mr. Edwards that we are at the bottom of the barrel insofar as these meters are concerned. I respectfully request permission to purchase 100 5/8" x 3/4" water meters under the City of Jacksonville Bid No. S-0573-79 at a unit price of $29.75 each. You will recall that purchasing these meters by this method is saving the City of Atlantic Beach approximately $6.00 per meter. In order to accomplish the above, it will be necessary to transfer an amount of money set forth in transfer Resolution No. 80-5.
