I PRE-DEVELOPMENT SITE INFORMATION This 0.9 acre piece was previously developed and was occupied by one single family home as well as a triplex residential unit until 2016. The property drained to the public infrastructure along Ahern Street and East Coast Drive. Due to its proximity to the ocean, we have noted through site visits that the soil is very sandy with a low groundwater table. POST -DEVELOPMENT SITE INFORMATION This project will bring 4 townhome buildings with pervious parking and paver courtyards. All stormwater runoff will be collected and taken to two dry swales along the northside of the project. The ponds have been sized to provide treatment to dry retention standards of the F.A.C. and attenuate the 25 year 24 hour and mean annual storm events. Due to the total size of the project (0.90 acres) and with an impervious area less than 2 acres, this pem1it is being processes as a I 0/2 Self Certification through the FDEP website.

Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 AGENDA ITEM CASE NO LOCATION APPLICANT DATE STAFF STAFF COMMENTS CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD STAFF REPORT 4.8 PLAT17-0004 Request for re-p/at approval as required by Chapter 24, Article 4 of the Code of Ordinances at Atlantic Beach Subdivision A, Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 Block 2 (54 East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street). 54 EAST COAST DRIVE, 329 AND 331 AHERN STREET AHERN TH PROJECT LLC JULY 14,2017 DEREK W. REEVES, PLANNER The applicant is Ahern TH Project LLC, the company that owns 54 East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street in the Residential General, Multi-family (RG-M) zoning district. These properties have been acquired over the last two years and will be combined into a single development project. All together the property is 300 feet by 130 feet and is 39,000 square feet or about 0.9 acres. The applicant plans to build a 12 unit townhouse project comprised of 4 buildings, each with 3 townhomes. The property is located within the Residential Medium (RM) Future Land Use designation, which allows up to 14 units per acre. At 0.9 acres, the maximum total number of units is 12.6 and is therefore rounded down to 12 units. This is further called out in the Section 24-88(a) requirement for new townhomes to have at least 3,100 square feet oflot area per townhome. Each proposed lot exceeds this requirement at 3,199 square feet or more in lot area. Section 24-188 requires any division of land resulting in three or more lots is required to be platted. This is also consistent with state statutes. Additionally, Section 24-201 requires lands to be platted prior to the issuance of permits for construction. As a result, this step is required before any development starts. As required by Section 24-203(b), the applicants have presented preliminary engineering plans that have been reviewed by the City's Public Works, Public Utilities, Building and Community Development departments. These reviews are not an approval, but rather a proof of concept. Formal reviews will be done at permitting. There are a few minor outstanding issues that are believed to be easily resolved and will not impact the proposed plat. There are two significant outstanding issues and those are the proposed easements and the covenants and restrictions. These items have not been submitted yet and the City Attorney has asked to review them prior to plat approval. There are multiple easements shown on the plat for various things like ingress and egress and utilities. This is specifically a concern as Section 24-252(c) requires access to a paved public street for every lot and many of the lots in the project must cross other lots as they come and go. Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 SUGGESTED ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL The Community Development Board may consider a motion to recommend approval to the City Commission ofthe requested Plat, PLAT17-0004, at 54 East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street within the Residential General, Multi-family (RG-M) Zoning District finding that; 1. Approval of this Plat is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan; and 2. Approval of this Plat is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 24, Article 4. SUGGESTED ACTION TO RECOMMEND DENIAL The Community Development Board may consider a motion to recommend denial to the City Commission ofthe requested Plat, PLAT17-0004, at 54 East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street within the Residential General, Multi-family (RG-M) Zoning District finding that; 1. Approval of this Plat is NOT consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan; and/or 2. Approval of this Plat is NOT consistent with the requirements of Chapter 24, Article 4. Page 2 of 2 Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD July 18th, 2017 1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL. The meeting was called to order at 6:05pm. All members were present except for Sylvia Simmons, who was absent. Also present were Planner Derek Reeves, Board Secretary Grace Mackey and representing the firm lewis, Longman and Walker, Mrs . Brenna Durden. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. 3. NEW BUSINESS. A. Minutes of the May 16'"• 2017 Regula•· Meeting of the Community Development Board Ms . Lanier motioned to approve the minutes as written. Mr. Reichler seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. A. ZVAR17-0003 PUBLIC HEARING (Richard Merriam) Request for a variance as permitted by Section 24-64, to decrease tile side yard setback from a combined 15 feet witl1 a minimum of 5 feet on either side as required by Section 24- 106(e)(3) to a combined 13.5 feet with a minimum of3.5 feet on one side at Atlantic Beac/1 Subdivision A Lot 29 Block 10 (aka 362 Plaza). Chair Paul announced that agenda item A, application ZVAR17- 0003 for 362 Plaza, had been withdrawn as the applicant was no longer seeking a variance . Page 1 of6 Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 Staff Report B. PLAT17-0004 (Ahern TH PI'Oject LLC) Request for re-plat approval as required by Section 24, Article 4 of t11e Code of Ordinances at Atlantic Beach Subdivision A, Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 Block 2 (54 East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Allern Street). Planner Reeves explained that the future land use of the properties includes Residential Medium (RM) and Residential General Multifamily (RG-M) zoning. This properties are adjacent to a single - family zoning district to the North, and the central business district to the South . He then explained that the proposed plan is to construct a 12-unit town home development, consisting of four, three story buildings where each un it will have a two-car garage. Staff then displayed the proposed site plan, which showed that there would be two driveways which would be accessed through East Coast Drive. This issue had been discussed at a prior meeting of the Community Development Board, when the applicant requested a variance for the proposed construction . Since this meeting, the applicant has slightly modified the parking arrangement along East Coast drive, however, there will still be parking directly along this street. He explained that prior to this construction, the applicant would need to go through the full permitting process with all applicable City Departments. He then noted that the current request was for a re-plat of the property and as such, the Board would be recommending approval or denial of this plat request, not of the proposed construction, to the City Commission. Previously, the units were going to be considered condos with a condo association maintaining the ownership of the units. If this re-plat requested were approved, the units would each be individually-owned townhomes. The property then, would be divvied up into 12 individual parcels with independent ownership. Staff noted that there is an existing easement on the West side of the property that will remain in place, to allow a driveway access to the adjacent property for the residents who live there. There are also ingress and egress as well as utility easements covering much of the property, other than where the units will be . At this point in Page 2 of6 Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 time, these easements have not been legally reviewed by City Staff nor by the City Attorney. Staff noted that this would be a requirement prior to sending the application to City Commission. An approved re-plat is required In this circumstance because the applicant wishes to subdivide their property into 3 or more parcels . The property is just under 0.9 acres, allowing for 12.6 units total. They are proposing to construct 12 units. Chair Paul questioned if this re-plat request would possibly have to be modified then brought before the Board again if the easements are found to be inadequate or inappropriate. Staff replied that the easements on the property should not affect the re-plat proposed tonight. Instead, the review of the easements will help give shape to the legal language of this re-p lat. Mr. Stratton referenced the meeting of the Community Development Board where this application was previously brought before them . He commented on the concern that was raised at that meeting, regarding the driveways which would exit onto East Coast Drive and the effect that would have on the traffic at that intersection (of East Coast Drive and Ahern St.) He asked staff what the parking and driveway situation would be entering and exiting East Coast Dr. with this current re-plat request tonight. Staff explained that with the currently proposed parking layout, the units along East Coast Dr. would each have two parking spots in their garages, and would share a drive aisle to gain access to and from these parking spots. This drive aisle would be regulated by easements for ingress and egress, so that it would remain clear for all units to properly access their parking spaces . Mr. Reichler commented on the (Community Development] Board's responsibility to ensure that anything they are approving meets the requirements and goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations . He asked whether or not any City Staff had reviewed this re-plat request to make sure that it does meet these criteria. Staff responded that while minor tweaks to the request may need to be made at final permitting, the project proposed was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. Mr. Reichler asked Staff if the applicant's landscape plan was consistent with the City's requirements regarding tree mitigation. Page 3 or6 Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 Applicant Comment Staff replied that he did not believe it did, however, he was still doing the calculations for this proposed plan . Mr. Mandelbaum questioned whether or not the Plat request complied with all applicable City legislation. Staff replied that it did meet such criteria . Chair Paul clarified that the application was being brought before the Community Development Board due to the number of parcels being created through the parcel split. Rick Johnston, 3528 Ocean Drive, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250, introduced himself as the applicant. He explained that at a prior meeting of the Community Development Board, he presented an application for a variance as the structures were going to originally be condos, but that he withdrew that application due to the tension present at the meeting. Following the meeting, he met with some of the neighbors near his property and worked with the City of Atlantic Beach's Public Works Department to try and address any issues that came up in the conversations . He added that along with these changes, he added a wider sidewalk along the street In addition to more parking spaces, while trying to maintain the integrity of his design . Mr. Johnston then commented on the easements on site. He stated that he had met with the City's Public Works Department to discuss these easements along with the Water and Sewer utilities on -site. He noted that they also have worked with JEA to plan out how the electric utilities will be tied in to the buildings. The applicant then we nt on to discuss his landscape plan, specifically, the trees they chose to keep on-site versus those they need to remove. Mr. Johnston then spoke to the drive aisles which would enter and exit off of East Coast Drive. He stated that he tried to take into account th e residents who would be immediately effected. At the same time, he did not find another parking option. Mr. Elmore questioned what the length of the property was along Ahern Street and East Coast Drive . The applicant responded that Pa ge 4 of6 Agenda Item 8A February 12, 2018 Public Comment Board Discussion Motion 4. REPORTS. the length along Ahern Street is 300 feet, while the length of the property along East Coast Drive is 130 feet. Mrs. Paul opened the floor to public comment.
