3 CITY MANAGER REPORTS
3A. Accept the 90-Day Calendar
There was CONSENSUS to accept the 90-Day calendar.
3B. Letter of Re-election to the Board of Directors of the Florida League of Mayors.
CM Corbin reported Mayor Glasser's re-election to the Board of Directors of the Florida
League of Mayors.
3C. August Financial Report Information
FD Burns answered questions from the previous Commission meeting regarding the
August Financial Report.
CM Corbin added that the $200K (FDOT) was for Mayport Road engineering and design
of the greenway section from Atlantic Boulevard to Dutton Island Road.
3D. 0 Lily Street
CM Corbin spoke about the buried trash on 0 Lily Street. He gave a brief history of the
land being a past landfill. There is a complexity on the remediation of the site since the
landfill is too deep and no one has an idea on what is really down there. The appraiser
proposed to take that amount of the remediation off the asking price of the lot and
proposed a counter offer to the land owner. He also commented that it will be difficult
to build on the north side of the lot. He explained his recommendation to purchase that
section for around $200K, as the property is still worth something.
Commissioner Waters expressed concerns about the hazardous toxic waste infecting the
aquifer and believed that the property is not buildable. He asked if there is still flooding
in the area despite the city’s efforts and Public Works Director Scott Williams confirmed.
Commissioner Bole asked if the property owner was in violation of the law. CM Corbin
stated that it was legal when the dumping occurred.

Regular City Commission
September 13, 2021
Commissioner Kelly commented that the trash is 12 feet down and we would not be
going down that far and suggested a price reduction. She suggested offering the
landowner a fair amount and letting it flood.
Commissioner Norris wanted to know if this site can be subdivided and suggested asking
for quotes from other companies that can do remediation. She also asked CA Durden
about the legal implications if the City decides to move forward with this purchase and
suddenly the toxic waste leaks out. CA Durden explained the legal responsibilities of the
City as the owner. Commissioner Norris asked for a better estimate of the co st of the
property.
Mayor Glasser reminded the Commission about their response to due diligence. North
Florida Land Trust deals with Atlantic Beach and may get a recommendation from them.
CA Durden explained language in the contract about moving forward unless the City
asked for an extension. Discussion ensued regarding the amount the Commission is
willing to spend.
There was consensus to ask for a 30-day extension.
4 REPORTS AND/OR REQUESTS FROM CITY COMMISSIONERS
4A. Constitution Week Proclamation (Mayor Glasser)
Mayor Glasser reported on the proclamation for Constitution Week.
4B. 20th Anniversary of 9-11 Proclamation (Mayor Glasser)
Mayor Glasser reported presenting the proclamation to Fire Station 55 and the Police
Department during the 9-11 remembrance ceremony.
4C. Mayor's Special Advisory Committee (per Section 8, Charter) (Mayor Glasser)
Mayor Glasser explained her proposal for establishing a Mayor's Advisory Council on
Health and Well-Being, as she referred to her handout (which is attached hereto and
made part of this Official Record as Attachment B). She requested staff prepare and
bring back a Resolution for approval at the next meeting or the one after that. Mayor
Glasser invited the Commissioners to designate someone from their district and submit
the names to the City Manager.
ATTACHMENT B - 9-13-21
4D. Special Pay (Mayor Glasser)
Mayor Glasser reported on the status of CC Bartle's request for Special Pay, noting over
$27,000 was budgeted, but was not yet discussed. Mayor Glasser explained, in order for
it to be paid out, it has to be approved by the Commission. She asked whether or not the
Commission would want to do it during the current budget year. She explained it is not
Page 3 of 38
Agenda Item #1.A.
25 Apr 2022
Page 7 of 119
Regular City Commission
September 13, 2021
to be confused with back pay for cost of living or any contract negotiation that may be
underway for CC Bartle's contract moving forward.
HR Director Varian explained the request, the past leave cash-in program, and the current
procedure for excess leave over 680 hours. She reported that CC Bartle has over 680
hours of leave and is asking that she be paid for leave instead of losing it. She explained
her review of the contract and the employee manual. She also reported having other
employees wanting to buy down their leave.
Mayor Glasser spoke about the movement to review CC Bartle's contract moving
forward and the option to address the request during those contract negotiations. HR
Director Varian confirmed plans to review and update the contract, noting it had only
been amended once. CM Corbin mentioned bringing back a resolution and contract at
the next meeting.
CC Bartle confirmed having met with HR Director Varian and explained the previous
change to her contract. She clarified her request and explained the history and reasons
for requesting a payout of 680 hours of leave. She spoke about the timing of the request,
noting the possibility of losing hundreds of leave hours and also the budget for it, unless
it is budgeted for next year. Mayor Glasser noted there could be a budget modification.
Commissioner Bole reminded the Commission about his previous request to look into
her contract, as a Charter Officer. He reported recommending to CC Bartle that she
renegotiate her contract to reflect not as much leave and higher salary and believes that
to be the fix.
Mayor Glasser noted the issue is that we are dealing with this at the end of the bud get
year, so it's not optimal for timing of a review process. HR Director Varian explained
CC Bartle's leave accrual, leave balance, and her needing to take at least 6.5 weeks each
year in order to stay ahead.
Commissioner Norris commented about the need for an updated contract and questioned
HR Director Varian about when it will be brought to them. HR Director Varian reported
having it on her pending list for about three years, She indicated that as an attorney, she
could draft one easily, but needs to know what CC Bartle wants. Commissioner Norris
expressed her desire to resolve the contract negotiations by the end of the year. There
was discussion about what has been drafted so far.
Mayor Glasser proposed addressing the contract negotiations by the end of the year and
doing a budget modification, if needed. She noted a lack of communication at the staff
level and requested that HR Director Varian and CC Bartle work together on updating
the contract and for Commissioners to provide them with any input they may have. HR
Director Varian reported on research she has done and documents received by CC Bartle
and believed a contract can be done quickly.
Mayor Glasser asked that the Commission decide what to do about the Special Pay
request.

Regular City Commission
September 13, 2021
CM Corbin requested a target date to bring back a contract and suggested two meeting
cycles. Mayor Glasser agreed with the timeline.
HR Director advised the Commission that CC Bartle's retro pay increase will be on the
next agenda.
Mayor Glasser indicated she is not inclined to approve the special pay for this year due
to the precedence it sets and noted that if it's in the new contract, and we want to look at
it again, she would be open to it. She explained not wanting to answer to others about
why they are not able to cash theirs out.
Commissioner Norris indicated leaning that way too, mainly because it's so late in the
game.
Commissioner Kelly commented about it being too long since it's been carried over, and
spoke about wanting to give a budgetarily-reasonable, one-time special, good deal
payment. She also commented about offering leave to employees so they can take
vacations and come back raring to go. She noted CC Bartle's dedication and reluctance
to abandon her job. She stated we want her to take leave, but there are so many things
she accomplishes for us. Commissioner Kelly suggested getting a deputy to share the
work load so the city clerk can take a vacation.
Commissioner Bole commented about it being dangerous to say "one-time, good deal"
because you have to look across the board here for the other repercussions. He believes
that when CC Bartle gets a new contract, it will be laid out and delineated exactly as a
Charter employee.
Commissioner Waters spoke about this setting a precedence and agreed with negotiating
it with the contract.
Mayor Glasser reported the consensus to not do the special pay at this time. She
apologized to CC Bartle and added that anything goes during contract renegotiations,
noting this could be brought back and done retroactively. She explained not wanting to
do it now without having a new contract in front of them and because of it being so late
in the budget process.
Commissioner Norris confirmed with CM Corbin that the targeted date for the
renegotiated contract is two meeting cycles.
Mayor Glasser spoke about valuing CC Bartle's service and wanting to address the equity
issue moving forward.
CC Bartle asked if it was up to the city manager to decide if she loses her leave.
Page 5 of 38
Agenda Item #1.A.

Page 9 of 119
Regular City Commission
September 13, 2021
Mayor Glasser explained that CM Corbin manages the work force and if that is
something to be address as to who approves that, that is also up for negotiation. She
believed that it is the city manager's duty and not the Commission's.
Commissioner Norris asked that since the city manager and city clerk are both Charter
Officers, technically wouldn't this put the city manager in a strange position. CM Corbin
confirmed it puts him in a very awkward position.
Commissioner Norris asked for clarification that the city manager is not making that
judgement call, but rather the Commission is; technically CC Bartle is our employee.
Mayor Glasser asked if they can talk about it in the context of contract negotiations.
Commissioner Norris believed that the question was about the leave currently and that
by the time the contract comes back, this question will be over.
CM Corbin explained that the question raised by CC Bartle was not about whether she
will get a payout, but will she lose the leave she hasn't used. CC Bartle requested that,
while they wait on the contract negotiations to clarify it, could the Commission give
guidance to not use the same process as everyone else where the city manager determines
if she loses her leave.
Mayor Glasser explained she was not comfortable with that, absent additional
information, because of the past practice of being like everyone else and asked CC Bartle
if she was the only person in this situation in the whole city. CC Bartle confirmed she
was because her contract was done way before the new policy. Mayor Glasser reiterated
that she is not comfortable making that decision tonight.
Commissioner Norris suggested wrapping it up in the contract negotiations. She
explained that it has been seventeen years and the city clerk is being treated differently
because of policy changes.
Commissioner Reports
Commissioner Bole spoke regarding the construction permitting process and how it is
an arduous process. He explained how contractors want the work, but do not want to go
through Atlantic Beach's process. He also commented on the concerns raised during
Courtesy of the Floor about developers, noting he does not believe they get any more
help than private citizens, but you do need to have the right documentation and know
what you're doing.
Commissioner Kelly spoke about a late request from ESC for funding various ESC
projects. She explained that the Tree Code requires us to have a tree technical manual
and the ESC wants access to a tree trimmer. She proposed taking $10,000 out of the
Tree Fund to pay for tree trimming and developing a tree technical manual, but noted
that the ESC does not agree with that funding source. She reported $9,000 as the
requested amount for Arbor Day, Dune Protection, and Earth Day. There was a
discussion about whether it affects the budget and the best time to address the request.

Regular City Commission
September 13, 2021
Mayor Glasser suggested addressing it during the budget discussion or closing
comments.
Commissioner Norris requested a report on Art Republic at the next meeting; expressed
concerns about the timing of FABE's request for funding; reported she does not want to
stop road paving; addressed comments regarding their relationship with developers;
spoke about Jacksonville Beach finding weekend code enforcement helpful and she
requested information on the cost to have weekend code enforcement. CM Corbin
agreed to look into options.
Commissioner Waters responded to the public comment regarding the teenager hit by
a car. He further explained the issues and requested that the Commission decide next
steps such as no parking signs or painting the spots. He asked for an update on paid
parking and CM Corbin provided the information. He commented on the funding request
from Friends of Atlantic Beach Elementary (FABE) and agreed with the comments about
the timing. Commissioner Kelly explained the City gives $6,000 annually for mowing
the lawn. CM Corbin explained they leave the equipment, track, and playground open
to residents on evenings and weekends per the agreement with them. There was a brief
discussion about the agreement with FABE.
Mayor Glasser spoke about the parking issue on 17th Street and Beach Avenue and
noted the necessity to report incidents to the police. She explained past issue s with
construction companies. She spoke about FABE's funding request, noting other
expenses paid for by the City. She commented about the congestion on Sherry Drive and
reported the steps being taken to assist. She explained that some of the money budgeted
for a traffic engineer may go to taking a look at that. She spoke about the recent passing
of Tommy Hazouri and Dan Watts and expressed her condolences.

Mayor Glasser requested that sustainability projects be coded on the capital

Committee's (ESC) funding requests and whether to add additional funds to the planning
department budget or use money from the Tree Fund.
Commissioner Norris spoke in favor of the tree inventory and outreach for L.E.E.D. and
for both to come out of the Tree Fund, or to have the tree inventory funded by the Tree
Fund and the other from the planning department budget.
Commissioner Bole spoke in favor of funding the tree inventory using the Tree Fund and
outreach for L.E.E.D. using planning department budget.
Mayor Glasser reported the ESC's efforts to protect the Tree Fund and spoke in favor of
adding the funds to the planning department budget for both.
Commissioner Kelly reiterated that the ESC is against using the Tree Fund, but explained
there is $100,000 in the Tree Fund; we've put trees in the obvious spots and would like
to put the money to work.

Regular City Commission
September 13, 2021
Mayor Glasser provided an update on her request for an additional transit shelter at an
existing bus stop. She explained the cost would be about $19K, but is working with
Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) to see if they would absorb some of the cost.
After getting the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) she learned that the site identified in
front of McDonald's does not have the line of site and distance between driveways that is
required for a transit shelter. She is looking into other potential sites and requested that the
Commission grant permission to sign the MOA with a change to the language for the
location to be "a station to be determined".
There was consensus to authorize Mayor Glasser to execute the MOA; however, CA
Durden mentioned it needing a resolution. It was decided that the consensus would allow
it to put in the budget, and a resolution would be brought back once they know the location.
11 CITY ATTORNEY/CITY CLERK REPORTS AND/OR REQUESTS
There were no comments.
12 CLOSING COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS AND CITY MANAGER
Commissioner Bole reported that the current garbage collection company is doing a great job
and providing on-time service.
13 ADJOURNMENT
There being no further discussion, Mayor Glasser declared the meeting adjourned at 8:57 P.M.

Re:Johnston Island —Public Purpose Lease
Dear IVIS.Bassetti
Thank you for your Information regarding Johnston island,located at Atlantic Boulevard and th
e
Atiantic
lntracoastai Waterway within the city of Atlantic Beach.The city of Atlantic Beach is interested in
exploring the potential for a public purpose lease from the Department to allow for public a
c
c
e
s
s
tothe
island should a temporary surplus declaration regarding the island be made by the Department.
This area has historically been popular for activities such as fishing and picnicking.However,t
h
e
island
itself has not been open to the public.The city offered to purchase Johnston island from the pr
evi
ou
s
owner in 2019 for development of a park.but our offer of the appraised value of the island
rejected.The recent purchase of the island by FDOT provides an excellent opportunity to aga
in
explor
epublicaccesstotheisland.
We understand the limitations posed by the 3 ton load limit on the access bridge as well as
possibility ofa major weather event further iimi ing vehicular access to the island.Given thos
elimitations,the City would stlll like to discuss with the Department a public purpose lease all
o
wi
ng
for
public access to the island along with minor improvements such as more formalized parking,pl
cn
lc
shelters,etc,
If vou have any questions or would like to discuss this request in more detail,please do no
t
hesi
tate
to
call me at 904-247-5817 or via email at scoriain@coab.us.

Re:Continued Maintenance of Pay Scale
With the passage of Resolution 22-28.the pay scales are now up to date.In order for them to re
m
ai
n
upto
date and competitive.the City needs to adopt a policy/procedure where the pay scale will b
e
adj
ust
ed
on
an annual basis.
The past few years.the commission has granted a 3%increase to employees during the a
n
n
u
a
l
budget
process.Historically,the pay scale was increased each year by 1%and employees received per
cent
age
of the midepoint of the specific pay grade.In my opinion,with the current environment,Idon'tthink
increasing the pay scale by 1%each year will sustain the competitiveness of the City's wages
.
Adjust
ingemployees‘pay by a percentage of their pay grade mid—point can be cumbersome to administer.
My recommendation would be to adopt a mechanism to adjust the pay scales.and adjust emplo
yee
wages
by the same percentage.As mentioned in previous memos during the pay adjustment J
o
u
r
n
e
y
.
the
Commissioners’pay increases are linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).I would suggest utili
zin
g
the
CPI to adjust the pay scale annually.Additionally,I would suggest adopting a "not to exceed"per
cen

City-owned streets in Atlantic Beach.

Selva Marina Drive needs speed bumpsll
To many limits to keep up with.Always worried about getting a ticket while also worried about
aggressive drivers.
Signs and speed bumps help deter speeding and can be added to Dutton and similar roads if
they have to stay 25 mph
The speed limit isn't the issue.It's people not following the speed limit.
More street lights on the roads
The speed limits are safe.The issue is that they are too often ignored.I think that speed
bumps on all side streets would be a better solution,to keep drivers at 20 MPH.Some other
ideas,convert parallel streets to one way,but with a generous bike/pedestrian lane.Some
thought given to more walker friendly town center.Maybe ‘roundabout’one way flows would
help.Worth a study.Leave anything 15 at 15.Anything at 25 at 25.Anything not marked,down
to 20.All side streets 20.
i think streamlining the speed limits in Atlantic Beach is a great idea and willincrease safety
while reducing confusion.I think a two-tier approach with the more well-traveled roads like
Plaza at a slightly higher speed limit than the smaller/residential roads makes a lot of sense.
Enforcement of the speed limit is the best way to stop speeding.Clean up the rights of way at
stop signs in ALL of the city allowing motorist to see what coming!!!Leave the speed limit and
enforce it for ALL that use the roads.....think bikes that fly thru stop signs for one.Money
better spent than having to replace speed signs.
Please lower the speed limits on non—postedroads and roads without side walks to 20 mph.i
live on Carnation Street and,since we have no side walks,we have no other choice but to
walk our dogs in the street.
The slower the better
I find that Speed limits,Walkways,and correct parking are completely ignored by many if not
most drivers.My house is on a street used by most children getting to AB Elementary and
cars (including Golf Carts)are exceeding the sped limit by over 50%.People park right up tp
stop signs and I hardly ever see any sign of enforcement by any authority.
I understand you have no control over Mayport rd speed limit but whatever can be done to
enforce the 40 mph I support.Cars go easily double that as i try to exit my street every day.
Slowing vehicles may be safer,but a better alternative is more use of multi use paths
Speed limits are fine as they are nowIthinkweneedabikelane-too many bikes in the middle of the road.Pedestrians and regular bicyclists are not the problem.Electric bicycles being driven onsidewalksandwithoutregardtopedestriansandregularbicyclists.Also.golf carts areregularlydriveninourcommunitybyunderagedrivers.We need to look at the source(s)of theproblem(s),not just the result(s).i noticed a lot of vehicles with out of state tags don‘t obey the speed limit.I also would like forpedestrianstousethecrosswalksandcyclistsobeythelawsastopblowingthroughstopsigns.Thanks 1/20

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two~Minute Community Survey
All these complaints about people speeding but yet never any cops in Atlantic Beach that are
working traffic stops.in the past 3 years,i have only seen one person pulled over on seminole
road for speeding.Don't make the speeds worse for everyone and just start enforcing the
speeds stronger with police.Let the people who are doing wrong take the fall,not the citizens
who are following the speed limit signs already.
Use the police to enforce the current speed limits.A large number of people disregard speed
limits and only enforcement willchange their mind.I have lived in AB 25 years and only once
have seen real enforcement take place (on Selva Linkside about nine years ago).
I do worry about people driving through the neighborhoods with no regard for their speed and
with o thought for other people's safety...I truly think:Leave the major arteries in an out of
Atlantic Beach at 25,but then definitely reduced the speed within the neighborhoods for the
safety of the children.
Need more police presence to ticket speeders.
I think they are appropriate as currently set,and would not want to see them changed
With increased traffic in our area it also takes longer to get places because there are more
cars at stop signs and intersections.Further reduction in the speed limit willincrease time to
destinations.lnstead,let's enforce what we have since enforcement will also garner a safer
community and ensure newer residents understand the importance we place on safety.
Na
Love the electronic speed signs
20 is excessively slow.if speeds need to be reduced around schools,use school zone speed
limits.in areas proven to be a little hazardous,consider speed bumps,which work better than
signs.Thank you.
I would first suggest strict enforcement of existing speed limits,changing signs will do nothing
with out enforcement.Also on a similar topic,the city needs more greenway/bike paths.All
"sidewalks"should be 10-12‘wide.
More sleek enforcement in residential neighborhoods,especially those that are being used as
cut throughs to/from higher speed roads (selva linkside/lakes)
Unless the speed limit is enforced,this survey and any subsequent action is pointless.A
uniform speed limit throughout the community and constant enforcement will make our streets
safer.There will be no discrepancy as to the posted speed limit if it‘s consistent throughout the
community.l’ve been informed by ABPD &JSO that they usually allow 8-10 mph over the
posted speed limit before issuing a citation.in a 20 mph zone,that's a 50%increase!Sherry
Dr.,Seminole Rd.,Sailfish Dr.,W.9th St.&Dutton Island Rd.W.rank in the top 5 for speeding
I've observed in my daily work travels.
Police at town center during busy times Bikes are a problem an accident waiting to happen
People go fifty down mayport yet Seminole is the road that seems to be the most patrolled for
speed.Especially by that motorcycle cop.
I see it's about pedestrians and bike riders.l’m one of those as well,fyi.Bike riders and
walkers need to 1.Have more and better paths.2.USE the crosswalks.3.Have more flashing
crosswalks and LlSe the flashing light it really has gotten out of control.I use Seminole a few
Trying to get out of Atlantic Beach is getting worse every day.The city knows that becausewhenwehostedthegolftournament,there were police moving the traffic through.Thank—you!Stop signs and stop lines should be aligned.Many stop signs are several feet/yards after stoplinescausingdriverstoignorestoplines.ThanksBeach Avenue should remain 15 mph.Post more sensors that display current speed throughout streetsOption2,but have Beach Ave 15mph.2/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two—Minute Community Survey
I think you’re all doing a great job with keeping residents and pedestrians safe.
I would suggest we lower the speed limit to 15 mph on all side streets.And add stop signs
near the elementary school on East Coast.The traffic on 3rd through 6th gets out of control
when school is starting or letting out.Or make Ocean and East Coast one way,like Beach
We should have stop signs at every street on Ocean Blvd but especially in the 1215 Street
range,because people use that stretch as a place to accelerate.
The various speed limits from one street to another in the residential areas are not just
confusing but are ignored.Most people who live here seem to be aware but others from outside
the community not so much.
Close end of East Coast Drive at Country Club,Seminole intersection.That would protect the
long uncontrolled crosswalk along Seminole.Add crosswalk from Country Club.This is a
dangerous intersection.
Reduce all smaller neighborhood roads to 20 leaving main traffic corridors as is
i watched a police car,yes with lights and sirens on,go by Jack Russel Park down Plaza at a
shockingly fast rate,must have been going 6OMPH.I know he was responding to an
emergency but so easily a kid could how come out of the park and be struck on a busy
crowded Saturday.I think around the park entries and crossing a few extra seconds could be
spared to a response to slow through the crossing area of Selva Lakes/Jack Russell.They
also scream down Seminole.One day a police is going to be the one to strike someone
Talk to the state about lowering mayport road.I think Atlantic blvd is fine because it's a bigger
road but mayport Needs to be slowed down.
Slower speeds around parks
l have not noticed excessive speeding in AB.The school pickup could be improved and made
safer.Parking on Sherry is not permitted and it should be enforced for cars parked Northbound
(left turn into school).Some arrive 1 hour early.
Police Cameras.Bike patrols.Police visibility.
Don't change the current speed limits.enforce them more rigorously,more so on the 15mph
streets
Need more control,ie:police presents
I think the presence of police cars (empty or otherwise)is a good detriment for speeders.
Mayport Rd.is a nightmare...
Use speed tables on streets with 20 mph or lower.
l was raised in AB and still spend a lot of time there.
Enforcement of the speed limit at all hours,not just during School zone times would be a start.
I live at 1974 Beach Avenue and ride my bike every day.High speed bikers who do not yield to
bikers or pedestrians are a major concern.
Distracted drivers not paying attention or totally disregarding directional or stop signs is the
real danger.Bike/walk lanes not available in areas that plenty of roadway to accept such lanes.

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
1.leave the current speeds as they are.2.Reduce the speed in the "not posted"streets from
30 mph to 20 mph.3.increase enforcement of posted speed limits and stop signs.Without
enforcement,reducing posted speed is futile."Speeders gonna speed"regardless of posted
limit if limit is not enforced.
Seminole Rd and Plaza are freeways to many people.Always glad to see officer Cassidy out
there writing ticketsll
There should also be a consideration for more speed tables in the neighborhoods.Speed limits
are rarely noticed or abided in neighborhoods,police aren't sitting back in the neighborhoods for
a speed trap so people speed.i live in the east sailfish area (sailfish loop)and its normal to
see cars going 30+,with kids playing in the street or people walking their dogs.The posted
limit is 25 at several points in the street.The posted limit should be 20 to try and help,but I
doubt most willpay attention.
Seminole road should be left alone.You have already added blinking,on demand crosswalks
and we have the 5 way to contend with.it takes 80 long to drive from 18th street up.We are
the residents directly affected.Thank you.
Thanks for the effort!
Enforce speed limits,l live on 3rd Street and you can not see the 20 mph sign because the
sign is blocked by a errant palm,that Should never been allowed to grow on city land.Our street
has been a cutoff for traffic from Sherry street.Also no one hardly drives the speed limit on
Sherry.
Don't change the speed limits,enforce them.Speeding on Plaza is a real problem.A lot of
times people are doing 15,20,and 25 miles per hour over the speed limit.
The streets in old Atlantic Beach should be lowered to 15mph.20mph is too fast on streets
with so many pedestrians.The speed limits should also be more strongly enforced by abpd.
Leave speed limits alone,yet have more police presence!
Rather than spend time and money changing signs why dont you just enforce what we have?i
walk beach ave and Seminole road every day.There are plenty of people flying in and out of
ocean walk at 50+MPH.
Have more patrol on mayport Rd to help with accidents
Let it be!People are gonna speed regardless.Add more police
I live on east coast and I see cars fly by.If we don't lower speed,it might be worth looking at
additional stop signs.
Please enforce them....esp the Amazon drivers.
Lived on Belvedere for 35 years
I live on East Coast Drive between 2nd and 6th (in between the stop signs)and people fly up
and down this road all day long.More stop signs or speed bumps (like on Plaza)need to be
installed to slow people down.
People drive down park side too fast to avoid the 5 way stop on Seminole.Control this traffic it
puts all of us @ risk for the driver trying to make up 30 seconds using this road

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two—Minute Community Survey
fast.l have seen people doing 30/35 miles per hour near parks like Johansen and Bull Park.
Speed humps or digital signs that indicate your speed would be helpful.I don't think people
realize how fast they are going but it is very dangerous for all those who frequent parks that do
not have fences (many in AB)
10th Street had a lot of kids and people fly down because of the beach access.Would you
consider speed bumps on any roads?
More traffic calming devices or police patrols are needed on Main Street especially between
Dutton island and Levy.
25 mph is fine on all city streets.Do NOT lower them!
The speed limit on PLAZA SHOULD BE significantly lowered.The only time people do not
speed is when the police are visually giving out tickets.Otherwise they speed.in addition,the
police and emergency vehicles do not need to travel at upwards of 60 miles per hour and use
their LOUD sirens when answering every call.lt’s virtually hell living here on Plaza with the
continuous noise pollution and Lack of Safety due to High Speeding emergency vehicles.|t’s
only a matter of time before a police vehicle is going to run over a Plaza Road homeowner!!!
On Sherry Drive between 4th&5th Street the entrance to Howell Park need a blinking light
button for crossings.it's on a curve and cars come to fast and a lot don't yeiid with present
sign.
Please keep 25 mph on Seminole and major thouroughways.The lower speeds primarily
beneficial on Beach Blvd with additional foot &bicycle traffic.Resident of AB for 7yrs.Thank
you.
I don't see a problem with the speed limits currently
More enforcement needed on Seminole north of Selva,Marina Drive.
Through selva marina drive (north end)the street is extremely windy and narrow and should no
way be raised to 20MPH
I think the LOWEST speed limit for Atlantic Beach streets should be 20 MPH.Streets with 15
MPH should be RAISED to 20 MPH.
Speed limits are low enough already.Those that ignore 25 mph will certainly ignore 20 mph.I'd
like to see further improvements to sidewalks &bike paths.Reduce blind spots at corners.
Educate pedestrians and bicyclists about safety.
golf-cart drivers should pull over and let cars pass so that they can continue at the posted 25
mph speed.This is a problem on Seminole Rd.Last week,seven cars were jammed up behind
a 19 mph golf cart whose occupants were totally oblivious....or just didn't care that they were
obstructing traffic.
PLEASE do not put up more signs.Our community has too many ,looks terrible.There are so
many I would guess people don't even read them.
Road humps not bumps should be installed on Cavalla Road between Sailfish and Royal Palm.
This is a heavily used road for pedestrians,runners and bicycles with no sidewalks.Current
speed limit is 20 mph and drivers are consistently doing well over that speed.
Good idea to lower
we're neverStrongerenforcement would be helpful and provide safer conditions.Changing the speeds isnotthesolution.Continue building pedestrian friendly sidewalks and crosswall<s.Enforcement is the key to a safe city.No matter if the speed limit is 20 or 25 there are peoplewhowilldrive30mphorhigher.Calm down folks!We live at the beach.There is no rush.Please leave the speed limit as is.People drive slower/faster than what is posted anyways.Waste of money to change signs.I would even like to see the intercity streets lowered to 15mph5/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
The side residential streets have so much walking,biking,skateboarding,roller skating activity
that the speed limit needs to be reduced AND enforcing!
Golf carts are beginning to be a problem.They appear to move faster than the 10 mile per hour
speed on Pine street and some of the e—bikesdo also,as well as cars
Reducing the speed limits fLirtherwould probably lead to an increase in ‘frustration’speeding.
Leave them alone!
All roadways east of the lntercoastal waterway should be 25mph including ala,mayport and
wondervvood.
I think the speed limits are reasonable.i think we could use more speed bumps for folks who
speed.We could also use more signs for areas where there are children or are not cut through
streets.
#1 Electric bikes,skateboards are dangerous —they go way too fast #2 Adele Grage area
should have flashing yellow lights and lower speed #3 Should not be able to turn left onto
Atlantic Blvd from N.Sherry Dr —at a minimum no left turn on the weekends.l have seen
where cars are in the right of way turning left from Atlantic onto N.Sherry and cars that are
coming out to Atlantic Blvd from N.Sherry pull out in front of them as if they have the right of
way.Especially with the new traffic pattern starting at CVS area...traffic backs up more and
cars trying to turn left onto Atlantic are blocking the through lane (going straight toward Town
Center/Poe's/Starbucks
OLir police department will have to enforce these new limits,do we have enough office for this?
None
Some streets are set at 15 mph with winding roads wales by old and young alike.They should
remain 15 mph but better signage applied.
Instead of focusing on the speed,focLis on enforcing the laws that are already in place as well
as the fact that due to over building and construction,there are no fluid routes with in Atlantic
Beach to travel anymore.
Please put in speed bumps on Main Street to slow speeding traffic and remove the "traffic
circle."
More enforcement is needed on Seminole.l've been passed many times.With the influx of
Yankee Carpetbaggers and those from out of the area,they lack respect of the speed limit.
Speed limits should actually increase on some areas.Also,new traffic pattern on corner of
Atlantic and 3rd is atrocious and dangerous
Traffic flows through Selva Linkside and Lakes to avoid the 5 way stop by the police station.
Cars are almost always above 20 mph.There are many children who live in these
neighborhoods.The next pedestrian fatality will occur in this neighborhood.And most certainly
at night,walking the dogs,etc.it is dangerous.
Lots of children in Atlantic Beach,speed bump should be applied to all beach access roads
between seminole and east cost drive.
Lower speed limit on residential streets running east to west from 20mph to 15 mph
Some believe that speeders are from outside of the city limits of Atlantic Beach.We do have
speeders,most of those ticketed would be neighbors.I fully support reducing speed limits to protect bikers and children.Other communities do it,weshouldtoo.We live on royal palms dr,and there is a decent amount of traffic and people always speeding,people drive very fast and there are always people biking on the sidewalk.It makes hazardoussituationsforthebikers/walkers.It would be nice if the wide bike paths were extended downroyalpalmDrandthespeedlimitwaslowered.Also there are some incredibly loud trucks andmotorcyclesinthearea,would be terrific if there was a noise ordnance to get rid of this noisepollution.Thank you for all your hard work!The present limits seem to be good at this time.i think golf carts should be able to go at least6/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two~Minute Community Survey
the speed on the roads on which they are driven.Going 20 MPH on a road where the limit is 25
MPH leads to frustration for those following behind.Bicyclists also need to be more aware of
their responsibilities re traffic laws and follow them.
Speeds on Seminole Road (north of the 5 way intersection)between 11th street and 17th street
are often excessive and potentially dangerous.I would love to see traffic calming /speed
bumps installed on this stretch of Seminole Road.
Speed limits are poorly marked by inadequate signage.
Could we get more digital signs that show current speed on Seminole?The locations of the
existing are fine,but they should face both directions.
I would love to see the speed limit on Plaza reduced to 15 or 20 MPH and stricter
enforcement.Traffic on Plaza has greatly increased the last few years and is definitely a
safety issue.
Stronger enforcement on north Seminole.Consider traffic circles or other calming plans for
11th and Selva drive intersections with Seminole
efforts shouldbemade to remind people towing boats that stopping willtake longer than if not
towing anything
The speed limits need to be reduced and enforced.Plaza road and semolina rd seem like they
are I95 sometimes.
15mph is too slow on Donner rd.
People on bikes need to pay extra attention,many of them I witness are on their phones not
looking at where they are going.Also those with trailers need to go the proper speed limit not
fly down the road.
None
l live off of A1A and Wonderwood.I bike all over Atlantic Beach.
lower speed limit on Atlantic,put a light on Brant and Atlantic before there is a serious
accident,lower speed limit on Mayport road to 30
I would like to have speed humps installed on Aquatic Drive.The area is a major cut-through
and people treat it like a race track...it‘s even a circular shape.
ive lived here for 20 years and it's not the speed limits,it's the enforcement of current codes.
Write more speeding tickets
l’m in favor of reducing the 25 mph limits down to 20 because the majority of roads that are 25
are still used frequently by kids,families,etc.I have been a front yard observer that many,
many people already go over 25.The notion is those streets are more of a “highway"than a
neighborhood street.Keeping the speed limit consistent at 20 mph through AB says this entire
area is family,bike and child friendly.
Train bike riders to ride single file.it is their responsibility tool
The cars with loud mufflers and driving crazy on mayport road are my biggest issue.
Educating pedestrians to obey the laws —particularly bikers on the road -would be a good
about Atl Blvd and Mayport?set all at 20mph.We know people will go beyond,but with enforcement and heavy fines,maybe we can correct speed issues.Would like to see cameras placed too in certain areas togiveticketsautowhenpeopleblowthroughstopsigns.I offer Sylvan and Sturdivant as a test.And again more police presence on evenings and weekendsWeneedbetterenforcementofspeedonmainstreetsAND residential.The speed limit on mystreetParkTerraceEastisalready20MPHandpeopleSPEEDlikecrazyonitbecausethereisabsolutelynoenforcementSpeedpatrolshouldbedoneindifferentlocationsaroundABnotjustPlazawestofSeminole.Crazy speeding on East Coast and Plaza late afternoon/evening,everyone from residents,7/20

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
postal workers and contractors.
At least on our street (10th)the problem does not seem to be the actual speed limit (as the
vast majority of people observe the limit)but any enforcement of said speed limit for those
outliers is absent.Speed bumps could be installed or an occasional police presence to enforce
the speed limit.
Slower speeds where people walk and ride bikes seems liI<ecrazy he safest option.
Please please please enforce the speed limit at Sherry and 4th.So many people from west of
AB Elementary cross to go to the beach their.Motorists speed through there and never see
any enforcement.Thank you!
The speed limits are fine the way they are,the issues are with stop signs and obstructions
causing cars to block walk ways
Residential neighborhood roads should have a lower speed limit than 25.That is the same a
Seminole which is a much bigger,busier road.
Increase speeding fines and make it a deterent to "fly"through narrow AB streets.2nd street
and other numbered streets are cut through streets.Drivers speed including commercial
contractors.15 mph side streets 20mph main AB regulated streets.
|‘d like to see actual data to back up your claim that arbitrarily reducing neighborhood speed
limits makes the community safer.This sounds like another attempt to appease a few
baseless complaints and give the PD more ways to harvest funds for their budget while doing
nothing for the community and is in no way tied to safety.
Ivlayport road should only have left turn on green arrow lights i have seen sooo many accidents
because of this!
Seminole Rd is problematic.Speed needs to be inforced,How about speed limits on the
beach,the electric bikes and things have gotten out of control.Its a disaster waiting to
happen.
Speed bumps would be more effective,in my opinion,to slow down traffic.
I live on plaza,if everyone observed the 25 MPH posted limit,it would be fine.people speed,
people fail to observe stop signs,and the signage needs to be reviewed.The plaza/Royal
Palm corner is truly frightening sometimes.
I am a frequent pedestrian when not working.I spend alot of time exercising,by myself and
with my dog,on AB roads.I feel much much more unsafe because of people not stopping at
stop signs and crosswalks than from people moving at excessive speeds.
I would like to see the 15 mph speed limit on Dewees Ave enforced occasionally either w an
occasional police officer or maybe one of those radar signs for a weekend.I don’t think some
of the residents and visitors realize how fast they are driving sometimes.There are lots of
small children playing on this road and I regularly see cars hit the gas by Marvin's gardens and
speed by going much faster than 15.
It's not the current speed limits themselves that are the issue,it's the drivers who break the
limits and don't drive for conditions or congestion that are the issue.
Fix the streets.
Both sides need to be reduced to 20 mph not just one side of Mayport rd but west side as well.They're kids over as well and elderlyIamaformerABresident,and member of ABCC.thank youNaThankyouforworkingtomakeourcommunitysafe!needs to be 15 in my residential of selva lakes.should be 15 in all residential,20 on mainroads.I do not believe the speed limits in our community are excessive.8/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
Beach Avenue must be kept at 15 MPH
The speed limit around East Coast drive and Ahem need to be lowered due to traffic
conges?on
Add pedestrian crossing signs and flashing lights in east coast drive.
i believe the speed limits should be left as they are.
There is nothing wrong with the speed limits in AB
20mph is too fast for my street.We have people driving through our street that are lost or have
no business in our neighborhood and are speeding or 20 or dont slow down for children.Whiting
lane.
None
More sidewalks and bike lanes would be more beneficial.l rarely see people speed or neglect
traffic rules in AB unlike nearby communities.
Speed limits are inconsistent,especially the Selva area.We love the winding
roads/lanes/paths,but it can be scary for cyclists and pedestrians.AM Rush hours S-bound
coming out the trees often seem to mimic Monte Carlo.Visibility is limited at times.Even
against traffic,I often feel the need to get off the pavement.Thank you for addressing this
lSSUe.
As it is now,it's sometimes difficult to know the speed limit on a particular street because
there are not many signs to let the driver know.A uniform speed limit for all city streets would
solve that problem.That being said,speed limits are only as good as their enforcement
Add a "Your Speed"sign in each direction to the 300 block of Plaza.Limit is 20mph but way
too many speeders.Recommend more enforcement and more “Your Speed“signs throughout
the city.
Seminole Road could use a bump up to 30 as everyone does 30.the other roads are not wide
enough for it so 20 would be the best.question 1 has no choice for raising any speed limits
Speed limits are fine as they are.i drive these streets daily and going slower makes no sense.
i would concentrate on making walkers and bikers more visible.
Please enforce the speed limits,especially on Sherry.East Coast should be reduced.The 25
mph should be reduced to 20 mph and the rest left at lower speeds.
I wouldn't mind seeing Seminole rd become 30 mph but all other streets at 20 and have the
side streets policed for speeders more aggressively
lt‘s time to enforce the speed limit that we have especially on the roads like Ocean Boulevard
where people are driving 40 and 50 miles an hour.
Having lived here for 25+years,I very much have seen the increase in residents and
especially children -this means an enormous difference in vehicular traffic,too.East Coast
SIDEWALK needs to be removed to widen the street ~no one should be strolling their baby
within 3‘of cars going at least 25 mph,for example.If Beach Avenue was changed to one way
going north to south between 7th and 1st or Ahern,it would eliminate ALOT of unnecessary
non resident "cruising"traffic.
The speed limit doesn't matter if it is not followed or enforced.i live on Plaza St and am finewithaspeedlimitif25,except people are constantly driving MUCH faster.We need morepolicepresenceandaflashingsigntomakepeoplemoreawareofhowfastthey're going.Also,wondering if the city has considered speed bumps on Plaza.It is a serious problem thathasmadeourhomefeelunsafeandhasusconsideringmoving.it is very unfortunate thatpeopledon‘t follow speed limits and as a resident it feels like there isn’t anything I can doaboutit.Post all speed limits.Lower more to 20 mph1thinkthespeedlimitshouldbereducedon Mayport Road.Reduce speed on side streets especially Ahern,near ABE and enforce speed limits!9/20

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two-Minute Community Survey
Considering many neighborhoods don't have sidewalks,children are often playing in the street.
Posted speed limits of 15 mph makes sense to me under these conditions.
A different yet connected topic:What can we do about electric bikes:1.ignoring speed limits;
2.riding on sidewalks;3.operated by people younger than 16 years of age?
Educating (with signage )to have people walk facing traffic flow when on streets and
bicyclists ride with traffic when on the road would help.Bicyclists should obey traffic signs and
avoid two or three abreast riding.Speed limit signs should be increased (too few of them on
20th where I live)and speed enforcement should be escalated,especially on side roads off of
the main arteries.
None
people are increasingly driving too fast on plaza ave and the cut thru on parkside drive.
Atlantic Blvd over the intracoastal is 45 and most Vehicles drive 55-60 MPH.in addition,biker
lane is regularly used.This needs more consistent policing due to dangerous conditions,as
does the 5 way intersection at Plaza/Seminole/Sherry.
Enforcement of existing speed limits is non-existent.Lower speed limits without enforcement
is waste.Lower all speed limits on residential streets to 15mph.
Parking should be our focus right now.The speed limits are already reasonable.
slow speed limits are essential due to the number of pedestrians,bicyclists,etc.
Please implement something that willpermanently slow cars down on Seminole Road between
the 5—waystop and 15th street —speed humps,additional 4~way stops,narrower lanes,etc.
Cars and trucks drive by my house at 45+mph all the time.The "Your Speed“sign is
constantly flashing "Slow Down".it is very dangerous for pedestrians,bikers,skaters,etc.to
cross Seminole Road at 11th street,Park Terrace (both)and Country Club /15th street.They
do slow very briefly when the police park at Johansen Park giving tickets,but then speed
again as soon as the police leave.
20 mph would make the roads safer and quieter
While the speed limit is 25 mph on Seminole Road,cars go much faster and it adds a lot of
noise and traffic hazards.Decreasing the speed limitwould decrease the speed of the cars.
I feel whatever our speed limit is,it needs to be consistent throughout the city owned streets
of Atlantic Beach.Otherwise,it is too confusing for residents and people visiting our
community.
i would be happy if people would keep to 25 and stop at stop signs
it appears most of those who live here know how to drive safely.Visitors and contractors are
the problem!!!
Seminole Rd should be raised to 35.No reason to be so low on this road and 35 is a safe
speed
The concern that l have is the number of runners,walkers,bike riders who go out in the dark
with no lights,reflectors.2nd,the biker riders ,board riders,and in general all others who have
no respect for the traffic.especially @ intersections when a biker goes thru with no regard to
other walkers,autos,bikes.Treat them just as an auto who shows no respect.
Put to asvehiclesdo.also remove the new lights at Sherry and Plaza.They do nothing to make trafficflowsafely.Seminole should be 30 mph after 18th StKeepgolfcartsonthegolfcourses!They cause more property damage and traffic issues thananyvehicledriving25milesanhour.Atlantic Beach is a pedestrian community.Please use every possible resource to lower thespeedofvehicles.i love that our children own the streets and feel safe in them.Let's keep itthatway.PS.i don't have any children.Just love that our community is vibrant with youth.RAISE THE SPEED LlMlTl DO NOT LOWER lT.TRAFFIC lS BAD ENOUGH.35mph on10/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
Seminole.Reduce the number of police.They're over paid smug and arrogant.You are
harassing the very people that vote and pay you.this is a stupid survey that forces citizens of
AB to answer the survey in a way that makes it seem like I support lowering the speed limit.
the truth is the opposite.RAISE THE SPEED LIMIT!
Speed limit leading to and thru town center should be 15mph.Golf carts shd be ticketed for
speeding abnd not using seat belts
Set speed limit at 15 mph on East—west roads that connect Sherry Drive and Seminole Road
with East Coast and Ocean.
If everyone went the speed limit as opposed to below the speed limit,traffic would flow better.
Speed hump on Francis
it will be nice if people obey them.I have people tailgate me because I am not going fast
enough.
need to be consistent
Please consider offering more availability of speed bump installation to address too active
avenues like Seminole Rd,Country Club Ln.,etc
The areas that have beach access like 7 th street needs to be monitored and have better
signage about speed.People drive fast that do not live here back in these areas when visiting
the beach.It's needs to be monitored more in these areas
Some of the areas should remain at 15 mph and other streets added for safety-that wasn't a
choice.20 is fast for some roads.Example —our street Hickory and other streets around.Even
Selva Marina Drive 25 seems fast.Beach Ave for sure should be 15.
You show Vecuna Rd as not posted.That used to be the case but at my request Vecuna Rd is
now posted 20 mph.Please update your database and thank you lowering the speed limit.
Drivers still use our one block road to cut through btw Royal Palms and Sailfish and tend to
speed while doing it.What does it take to have a speed bump installed?Thank you
More radar on Beach Ave,nobody does 15MPH and there are more walkers,pet walkers and
bikes on that road then any other n AB
The speed limit on Mayport Road is appropriate,but it needs to be enforced.
The current speed limits do not seem unsafe rather,it seems that people who disregard the
posted speed limits are the issue.This could be resolved with traffic monitoring/alerting
devices or better speed limit enforcement.Lowering the speed limits for respecting residents
does nothing to address the dangerous drivers who don‘t acknowledge the speed limits in the
first place.In the streets/areas closer to the beach,there is an inverse --where most cars
drive significantly below the speed limit.There is a considerable amount of congestion due to
constant home construction and other contractors,limited off-street parking,and also cars that
are perusing properties and houses --taking in the neighborhoods,looking for beach parking,
etc.This area of Atlantic Beach is unique from other neighborhoods in that it has a significant
number of visiting cars.During peak times (morning commutes.after school hours)this can
add as much as 5-10 minutes just to get from your home to Atlantic Blvd —which should not be
an issue in an area of this size.This is especially true on streets like Plaza,East Coast Drive,
Seminole/Sherry (school),Selva Marina.The purpose of these streets should be to allow
residents to leave the community in a reasonable amount of time.Yet the flow of traffic is so
—-and naturally.streets notsafe.There just needs to be all—aroundbetter enforcement of existing traffic rules,notreinventingthewheel.Just finegivemore tickets out.slow them downThespeedlimitsarefineastheyarebut need to beenforced.Speed bumps/humps wouldlhelpwiththis.I would like to see speed limits at 15 mph on all numbered streets.Beach Avenue.Ocean,East Coast and Plaza 11/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
Please enforce speeds on Sandpiper and Linl<side Drive as many cars use this as a bypass to
the five way intersection.The traffic and speeds are far beyond what was designed for the
neighborhood.
Speed limit on Seminole should go up to 30mph
The speed limits are already painfully slow but the flashing crosswalk signs should be
increased without touching the speed limits.They alert drivers way in a advance to slow down
and stop.
I don't see that much enforcement,to be honest.Residential streets might benefit from lower
speed limits than the main thoroughfares.Stop signs seem to be effective at slowing traffic
down.
More enforcement on Seminole.Particularly after hours.
Cars go very fast down my street,7th.day and night.Way over the posted 20 which should be
15 with all the new young families moving in with small childrenll Also in front of community
center with parked cars it is only a one way most days.Maybe should be designated as such.
More traffic cops in Salt Air neighborhood to ticket speeders coming through the neighborhood
to and from the Gate Station and to avoid the light on AB Blvd and Seminole.
I agree with slower is safer and would prefer speed limits to stay on the slower side
The speed limits are fine but the enforcement is not.Proper signage in the appropriate places
for visibility,placing the electronic speed signs that flash on busy roads would help.Seminole
Road lacks stop signs that could help temper speed like East Coast and Ocean but its the
autobahn.Main Street is a mess as a cut through for speed.You widen sidewalks to
encourage use but dont address the danger.The police can only do so much so put in other
ways to help curtail.Changing the speed limits won’t fix the problem
I think the speed limit should be 35 on Mayport rd.State rd or not.That Rd is a big trouble
maker.
The speed humps on the 300 block of Plaza are crucial.Without them it is a speedway.
I walk on Selva Marina speedway with no police presence almost daily walking my dogs.Cars
speed by me all the time with no sidewalk to walk on and no one ticketing speeders.Park
Terrace West and East are just as bad.Police motorcycles and vehicles could bring
compliance with at least the 25mph limit.Drivers ignore pedestrians and the speed limit.
Protect the walkers with no sidewalksll Strict enforcement and warning signs workll Leave
earlier!
Speed Limiton Seminole road N of 5 way is too low.Should be 30 —35.Driving slow is too
distracting as your mind looks for diversion.How many thousand times can you look over the
same thing you got on the first 2 looks.Penman road is a similar feeder road thru a residential
neighborhood as is Ortega Blvd and they are 35 mph.If you increase the speed limit
ENFORCE it.Every time I have brought this up nobody wants to touch it and then say the
police won't pull you over if you are doing less than X mph over.The sight lines are long on
Seminole Rd and in my 35 years of living there I don‘t see kids playing there.Kids do not play
or go to school any more without parental supervision.The only kids you see are the few
minuets a bus drops them off and the bus driver usually sits there until they disburse to the
side streets.The side walks are well off the street and the sight lines are huge.The speed
limits are fine just the way they are except N.Seminole Rd.Don't put or drivers to sleep by
outcome.10 mph Beach AveMoreenforcement is needed for the current posted limits,particularly in neighborhoods that areusedasshortcutsorthroughwayssuchasSelvaLinkside.The limits set will be meaninglessifnotfollowedorenforced.Why are the unposted set at 30 mph ?The Royal Palm neighborhood desewes safe residentiallimitsof20-25 as per the rest of residential A.B.I know the police have many concerns.but there is a great problem with high speeds onSeminoleRdasbeachgoerssearchforparking.Also,some drunk drivers are exiting 18th12/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two-Minute Community Survey
street parking after a day on the beach.
There is nothing wrong with the current speed limits.
i prefer consistent limits on contiguous streets as it can get too confusing —with good signage
—to warn motorists.20 or 25 is fine with me on those.On Ocean Blvd,around 3rd St.,there
has been a loud speeding truck at 6:30am almost every am on week days.No one wants that.
So could you also work on noise reminders if those are in AB statutes.
Do education about how to walk,how to ride bikes properly.Use sidewalks.People don't follow
common practices for these things.It isn’t drivers.
No need to change anything.The huge sidewalk that was rudely pushed onto property owners
on Seminole was for safety.Enough.
The map is incorrect.20 th street is posted at 20mph yet map claims it is not posted (30 mph)
We appreciate the lit up crosswalks that most vehicles tend to abide by and the widened
sidewalks for both pedestrians and bicyclists.These two improvements seem like enough for
pedestrian safety concerns.What about installing the same features on the West corridor of
Mayport road?
The speed limit on Maypoit rd needs to be lowered.it's not safe for the kids walking to school
i think the speed limits are slow enough on roads I travel.
I like the crosswalks that have been implemented for pedestrians,and i try very hard to be
cognizant of children particularly,but all pedestrians.However,bicyclist should be taught,and
it should be enforced,that they are a vehicle and are required to follow the rules of the road.
Well -more enforcing and ticketing would be better!Golf carts are a growing problem for
speeding I think.They drive as if they don‘t have to follow the same road rules.I wonder
sometimes if underage,non-licensed teens are driving them too.This is not speeding related,
but is very much traffic flow and relieving of driver irritation:l WANT A ROUNDABOUT AT 5
POINTS!
Keep golf carts and motorized bikes off the sidewalks
Currently there is speeding that is occurring in the community.As the number of families with
children increase in the community -speeding needs to be addressed.
Speed limits are NOT an issue in Atlantic Beach.Parking is.Parking which blocks two way
traffic needs to either be enforced or the streets need to be configured as one way.
They should be better enforced.Not just on Seminole and Plaza.Beach Ave should be 15 mile
per hour,street is narrowand has lots of obstructions to stepping off the street for a car
approaching
People fly down East Coast and Ocean.Should be 20.
Speed bumps on Selva Marina Dr
Limits should be clearly marked and placed where drivers can see them frequently enough to
have no choice but to receive a ticket.
need to put speed controls and licensing of electric bikes on sidewalks and the beach.Children
Seminole Rd is out of control.We need another stop sign or light between 5 way.Speed bumps’?People are flying past my street on CoralThespeedlimitsshouldbeasuniformaspossiblesono one is "guessing“.There needs to bemoreactiveenforcementthroughouttheCity.Enforce them against bicyclists,golf carters,electric motorized bikes and other devices,aswellasonewayonBeachAvenue.This is regularly violated especially by bicyclists.We live on Plaza and people go way too fast on our street and the streets without 4 way stops.it would be nice if there were even a police presence on those streets since people go over thespeedlimitwithoutanyconsequences.Even if the police would just have a car there todecreasespeeders.13/20

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two~Minute Community Survey
Like the new yellow caution cross walks
Golf carts and bicycles ignore traffic signs.Can you add signage (even temporary)to tell them
they must follow road signs too?
Another option to calm traffic is narrowing the perception of the street width.Plants alongside
the road could cause folks to slow down regardless of the speed limit.That being said I am all
in favor of protecting everyone who is walking,biking,etc on city owned street
Continue to enforce.Limits are fine
The traffic on Sherry Drive has become noticeably heavier with heavy trucks and commuters
speeding through between the five way stop on the north and the elementary school to the
south.
We live in Oceanwalk and we see a lot of motorized bikes going very fast and the driver have
no protective helmet and often barefooted.I also think that the golf carts and all traffic on the
road should use road rules like stop signs
A consistent speed limit on all but the few main roads would appear to be optimal for the
safety of walkers,bicyclists and carts.
Rules need to be set for electric bikes .Where are they allowed to ride and what age should be
able to ride them.They should not be allowed to be on the beach.Golf carts should have to
ride at the speed limit since it is illegal to pass them on Seminole Rd.and they often are riding
well under the speed limit.Education for bike riders are needed.They are not pedestrians.
Respect is needed for all forms of transportation.
Lower speed limit on Ocean Blvd.and enforce.
A speed limit of 15 mph needs to be posted on the 300 block of Magnolia St.in Saltair,a route
lots of children use to go to/from ABE and where lots of children play.Vehicles also drive the
wrong way on our one-way street.Ive never seen a citation given by police for speeding or
wrong-way violations in the 30 years I have owned property at 322 Magnolia.
Speed is not seen as an issue on the roads in Atlantic Beach.
I observe speed control more on state owned streets,eg.Atlantic Blvd @ ICW than I do
anywhere else in AB.We need more speed control on major residential roads.
More concerned about bicycles and skate boards on the sidewalks.Have been nearly knocked
over while walking by people on bikes and skate boards that do not announce themselves.
Where I come from it is considered "a rule of the road"to call out either "tack right"or "track
left"when approaching pedestrians.These aren't just kids that come flying by,but older adults
as well.Someone is going to get badly hurt.And then someone is going to get sued.Maybe
require a bell to be worn on bicycles?Maybe require skate boarders to carry a horn?It seems
only common courtesy to let pedestrians know they're being overtaken and about to be
passed,but at least once a day while my wife &l are out walking we narrowly escape injury
from someone speeding by unannounced.It's time to do something about this.
Enforcement is needed in areas where people are speeding.Cameras with automatic tickets
instead of big yellow flashing speed signs
ALL STREETS SHOULD HAVE LOWER LIMITS AND POLICE ENFORCEMENT.NEVER
HAVE SEEN A COP ON MY STREET ISSUE A TICKET FOR SPEEDING,2ND ST HAS
TRIPLED THE HAZARD.CARS AND TRUCKS HAVE BEEN SEEN DOING 60 MPH DOWNOURSTREET.IT IS A HORRIBLE SITUATION.NOT A STREET FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTANDVERYUNSAFE.The speed limits are fine but they are not enforced regularly except on Atlantic going over‘theintracostal.The daily ticketing there has drastically reduced the speeds.Seminole isparticularlybadwithspeedingandthereforebecomesverydangeroustopedestriansMostspeedlimitsinABseemappropriateexceptforthosenotposted.From what your mapshows.most of the non posted streets should be posted at 10 or 15.Prohibit distribution of political materials at the 5 ways stop on Seminole.Also,individualsshouldbeprohibitedfromconductingpoliticaldemonstrations(waving,carrying politial signs,14/20

etc.)at the 5 way stop and at 3rd (A1A)and Atlantic Blvd.Both areas are dangerous,and
drivers should not be destracted for any reason in both areas.
Please address the safety of electric bikes
Adding speed bumps to smaller streets would help people to slow down.There are always
children out playing and many drivers speed all the way through a street.
Levy should be 30
2OMPH is appropriate.ENFORCEMENT is needed to a greater degree.The one motor man
traffic guy does a great job.but wider more active enforcement is needed.Especially on Plaza
and Parkside Drive (used to shortcut and avoid 5 way stop by speeders daily)
Keep them as they are and police the streets like Mayport that people drive 50+mph.
None
Speed changes should be based on the number of powered vehicle fault accident.not on
opinions.
The section of Main Street that I live on is the longest stretch of the street with no stop signs
from the church to the little roundabout.People go well over the speed limit at all times of the
day.i would like to see speed bumps or speed tables (i think that's what they’re called).if
people speed,go over one of these and mess up their car it's their problem.I was told that’s
why the city wouldn't put speed bumps on our section of Main Street.
I agree that most residential streets should be 20 mph max.Keeping Seminole,plaza,etc at
25mph.Sherry,Sailfish,ocean Blvd and east coast should remain at 25 as well.
Would include sherry rd as 25 mph along w plaza and Seminole.Overall,l Suggest tougher
enforcement of 25 mph speed limits throughout our town.i usually set cruise control at 25 on
Seminole and l invariably get followed very closely by someone in more of a hurry than me.
Any streets at 15mph already ,leave at 15mph
Speed limits are fine as is
25 is low enough.Stop trying to change for bicyclist and walkers.They should abide by the our
laws.Cars stop at stop signs.Bicyclist won'tl!They are the hazard.
10th street between east coast and Seminole needs help!We have a beautiful gaggle of 12 or
so children who actually play outside on the street.Cars go 35 mph on our street and faster!
Speed humps,signs,police cars?
Ticket the speeders on park terrace
Excessive speed north of Plaza on Seminole is rampant.Need another crosswalk at Country
Club and E Coast Dr.Very high volume of bikes and pedestrians transiting to and from beach.
Very dangerous without crosswalk.
Sometimes it seems that bike riders could care less if a car is trying to drive on the street
regardless of auto speed.
There are ten billionsmall children that live on 10th street between East Coast &Seminole.
Please install speed bumps before a kid is killed.
Levy,Plaza and think Sailfish should also be 25.The streets not be25andsomeintheSelvaNortelSelvaMarinaareaDale,Hickory.Live oak,North Sherry etcshouldbe15orless.My number one concern however is the enforcement around JohanssonparkonSeminole.I regularly see people going very fast around that corner and l frequentlycrossSeminolefromParkterraceeasttothewidesidewalkacrossthestreet.Peoplespeedingcombinedwithlowvisibilityduetothecubesmakesthisdangerousevenat thecrosswalk.I am a fast walker but I could see someone who is slower having a hard timecrossing.Also since the sidewalk is very narrow and uneven and dark on the west side ofSeminoleatthislocationitencouragespeople(myself included)to not use the crosswalk oneblocktothesouth.l frequently see children crossing here on their bikes from the widesidewalkontoparkterracebecausethesidewalkontheotherside(west side between park15/20

.Jeffreywh@comcast.net
Enforce traffic laws better so people dont drive like shit.
Require bicycles to stop at stop signs.Get rid of all the blind corners.
The critical key seems to be to post speeds on the un—posted roads (which default to 30mph),
and I‘d opt for 20mph on those I see.For any regular thoroughfare,I prefer 25mph to 20mph as
my speed—limiter on our car can't be set below 25.At 25,I know I'm going the limit at 20,it's
all manual and therefore willvary with some definitely going above 25.
Constant Enforcement of the current speed limits will aid in slowing vehicles.
As a cyclist,I strongly support anything that will get more people on foot or bike etc and out of
a motor vehicle
Speed limits throught out Atlantic beach however,enforcement of speed needs to be increased
and citation must be given.We have alot of people moved from north into Atlantic beach and
they drive crazy like they drive up state thinking that no enforcement.Enforcement must be
tightened.
Need to deal with blind corners in Atlantic Beach.Very dangerous
Donner road REALLY needs some repairs!
Leave speed limit on Beach Ave and short,narrow adjacent streets at 15 mph.
Establish target speeds vs.design speeds.Missed opportunity on the recent mill and
resurfacing projects on Plaza and Sturdivant to restripe through lanes to 10.5 feet and include
buffered/protected bike facilities Speeds on most neighborhood streets should not exceed 15
20 mph with exception of Seminole and Plaza.Incorporation of low cost traffic calming devices
including chicanes,islands,diverters.and high emphasis mid block striping Tactical urbanism
project opportunities at key high crash/conflict intersections (eg the 5 way,Plaza/Sailfish,
Levy/Mayport,Main/Levy)to reduce effective curb radii through bulb out and intersection
murals
Al would like small residential streets to be 15 mph
I'm on 4th street and people fly down it to avoid the school zone I would love speed bumps.
Being a math teacher‘,I can assure you that 5 or 10 or 15 mph makes little difference in how
long it takes you to get someplace within the city.But I think there is data that show slower is
safer.Safer is better.
Set speed limits on numbered streets at 15 moh.Put speed bumps on 10th St.
Keep enforcement up!Thanks.
Enforcement is required Especially Beach Avenue.
More police presence on Seminole Road near 18th especially in the weekday mornings and
weekends.
I only pay for water to Atlantic Beach.
I live in Oceanwalk and would LOVE speed bumps in our community as cars drive so fast and
Thank you very much for conducting this survey!The roads are very dangerous forpedestriansasitseemsthatnotmanypeopleobeythespeedlimit.I always have to step offtheroadtoavoidbeinghitaspeoplearedrivingsofast.If I wave my hand in a slow downgesture(even in a polite way),they roll down their windows and cLIrse at me.I even hadsomeonetrytofollowmeonetime.It is not a safe community with people speeding and somebeingrudeandthreatening.I would love to see more police officers out stopping thesespeeders,especially on East Coast,Ocean,Seminole,Park Terrace West and 20th.There arealsomajorissueswithcrosswalks.Even if I hit the button to activate the lights,people rarelystop.If I start to cross.I usually have to jump back out of the road.It is especially bad onSeminole.Please help the pedestrians!As a walker and biker I greatly appreciate slower neighborhood speeds for myself and,16/20

Lower Speed Limit =Safer Community:A Two-Minute Community Survey
especially,children.Slowing down is very difficult in this fast paced culture.it seems that
some gentle consistent speed enforcement might be helpful.
Unable to answer Q2 on the survey form.I do own property and am a resident of AB.Why is
the speed limit 30 on "not posted"streets?i thought not posted was 20 mph.if option 2 is
selected for speeds,recommend leave Ocean Blvd at 25 mph along with Plaza,Levy,Dutton
island.The best means to maintain safety is to increase police visibility and patrols in the
neighborhood streets,lowering the speed limit does absolutely nothing if not enforced.People
will speed,and disregard stop signs,if there is no consequence for the action.
Pls enforce the speed limits .Enforce the underage drivers of golf carts.Electric bikes might b
our next problem
would prefer to see the streets near schools reduced to 15 mph to give students a safer place
to walk and reduce the incentive to drive.it may also prevent speeders from racing through our
side streets during school hours when Sherry gets backed up
saturiba definitely needs to be no higher than 20 mph.
The limits should be raised if takes forever at the 5 way
It is not the speed that is the problem,people continually roll through stop signs,in adequate
walk ways and side walks,I'm not referring to Seminole road.Poor stop signs and inadequate
space to view oncoming traffic.My wife was hit by a car not obeying simple stop signs!An
impending disaster will occur on Selva Marina drive is my fear.Call me,l‘m happy to expand in
these situations.Ken Carella,904-742-7685
Beach Ave should be closed to through traffic due to the amt of pedestrians ..local traffic only
Ocean Blvd &East coast should be 25 if not already but what ever you do need to
enforce it
Put in speed calming on Seminole Dr between the 5-way and Hannah Park.
Most enforcement needs to be on maypoit road.Every time i drive on that road I see people
driving way too fast yet I see enforcement on Seminole and the slower areas where it's not as
necessary as mayport.
Additional light up cross walks in the community.Mainly along Seminole and sherry.Also
request for speed bumps to slow traffic in high traffic areas or street with speeding issues
Definitely need to lower limit on sherry.And enforce the sign that shows trucks shouldn't use
sherry.There are Too many areas where people cross for it to be 25mph,along with the school
being there,and the intersection with Atlantic is becoming more dangerous as well.
i live on 89 Dewees Ave .We have speeders on our street that come off of Beach Avenue
25 mph is too low on most roads such as Seminole.Should be 30,except in neighborhoods,
where it should be 25.20 is absurdly low.
Speed limit on Seminole is already too slow.
People continuously speed through our neighborhood on Main Street and rose street.We have
so many new moms and babies and strollers here which is a beautiful thing for this community.
Main Street is entirely residential and treated like a thoroughfare race track.Please specifically
pay attention to the gathered data showing this problem.it has not gone away.There are more
Please lower speed limit on the narrow old AB numbered streets to 15mph or install speedbumps.Particularly,9th St sees excessive amounts of vehicles cutting through due to aregularqueuethatformstothenorthalongSeminoleatthe5waystop.Slower is better,especially since there are sections of Seminole Rd where there is only a footorsoofclearancebetweenthenewsidewalkandtheroad.Why can't we put speed humps onSeminole?Speeding in AB is Everwhere.The only way to stop it is constant ticketing.it has worked overtheintracostalonAtlantic.Very dangerous on SeminoleOrchidsStreetisoftenusedbylargevehiclestobypass Mayport road.ll would like to see thebroad“sleeping policemen"similar to those on Plaza between East Coast and Seminole.We17/20

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two-Minute Community Survey
have a lot of children and many vehicles drive far too fast in this area.I've lived on orchid
street for over 30 yeats.
Speeds are fine
I feel like lower the speed limit and adding physical barriers to reduce speed in several
residential areas would be very helpful to increase the safety in our community
Please lower the speed limit on Royal Palms Dr.to 20 mph.That way the autos will go 25
mph.I ride a bike throughout the city.Autos pay little attention to bicycles.Even those that
obey traffic regulations.
With the exception of Seminole at certain times of the day I feel that residents abide speed
limits because we walk,ride bikes and these are our streets.I would like to see more signs
"Walk facing traffic"
Make Seminole 30 mph.Need rotary at 5 way stop by fire station.Assign police to stop
speeding on Mayport Rd and leave Plaza and Seminole alone.They are not dangerous by
Mayport is.
None
Overall I have not felt speeding was a big problem in Atlantic Beach,however it has been a
while since I have driven the area daily.It is an incredible community asset that Beach Avenue
is so pedestrian friendly,hope to preserve this as much as possible.The biggest offenses I
have witnessed are on Seminole,where I occasionally see cars treating it like a drag strip as
they had north from the 5 points intersection and around the bends,and on towards Ocean
Walk.
Seminole rd,north of Plaza,is a real problem for speeding.East Coast dr.as well.
The signals showing your driving speed help to reduce driving speed.
Instead of changing speed limits,change the frequency of enforcement.I do 40 mph on
Mayport from A1A to Atlantic Blvd,but others are doing at least 55.Drivers frequently use
Cavalla Rd between Royal Palm and Sailfish as a shortcut and do 35 to 45 mph,when it's 20
mph now.
I noticed that the speed limits seem to be generally higher west of Mayport Rd.
Seminole north of the city hall needs an increase in the speed limit
More enforcement of current limits is needed.
People fly too much,making it unsafe for walkers and bicycles.We live off Main Street and
there are speeders on it.We are nervous to ride bikes across Mayport road afraid that people
won’t stop at the lights.Since we‘re a beach city,it feels like bumping down the speed limit
makes sense.I think it would prevent a number of the accidents we see on Mayport road too.
Consistency is important for resident knowledge
The speeds limits are fine.I was born in AB and have lived here my entire life.If people went
the speed limits we'd all be fine.Lowering them will only make the Iawbreakers more anxious
and drive more crazy.
It'd be great to have more frequent monitoring.I live off Sherry Drive,and that short road is a
The 25mph /residential speed limit on Atlantic Blvd between Publix /Neptune Beach and thirdstreetintersectionisridiculous.It should be 35 all the way down Atlantic Blvd from the bridgetotheTownCenters.Definitely need to ensure these speed limits are enforced.No use in changing speed limitstheywon't be enforced.I think the speed limits are fine.Perhaps more enforcement.Going 8 miles over in a 25 mphzoneispercentagewisealotmoredifferentthangoing53ina45mphzoneWeliveon19thStreetbetweenBeachandSeminolewithacurrent15mphlimit,although fewseemtostaywithinthelimit.We have a lot of beach parking and pedestrians walking (often inthemiddleofthestreet)to and from the beaches.To protect pedestrians and bikers,I think18/20

Lower Speed Limit:Safer Community:A Two—MinuteCommunity Survey
ALL residential streets should remain at (or be reset to)15 mph,with the exception of the main
streets listed in the second option above and perhaps Selva Marina Blvd which is a divided
street.None of our residential streets are so long that it would be an inconvenience to drive a
bit slower until reaching one of the main streets.
Maybe placing more strategically placed speed humps throughout the community for traffic
calming.
They are sufficiently low as is.
Speed on Sherry dr needs to be lowered.Card speed through past the elementary school
Parking on the streets is more of a problem.cant even drive on the correct side of the road.
do something about 18th Street!
I think everyone travels too fast in our community.Lower limits might help
Saturiba needs to be addressed.There is a speeding issue and as the road splits,it is a
narrow single lane canopy road.it should be 15 mph like the other streets.
More patrol on Seminole Rd near Atlantic Blvd...people use it like a drag strip heading south
between Plaza and Atlantic Blvd.
i think the golf carts and ebikes not following the speed limits is an issue.Golf carts go the
wrong direction down Beach Ave.&often are too slow on the main roads.EBlkes go the same
speed as a scooter and should not be allowed on sidewalks.Neither of these are speed issues
and are more of a problem than speeding in the neighborhood.
People go to fast on cross streets like saturiba and country club.Also we need 5 way stop
education signs
Something needs to happen about the bicycles.They are all over the road and not following
any rules.
Please remember that also adding to traffic dangers are skateboarders,rollerbladers,bicyclists
and pedestrians who camp out in the middle of streets designed primarily for motor vehicles.
Police on bikes and on foot could remind violators in these categories to obey traffic laws and
safety parameters and ticket repeat violators.Thanks.
Need to put some more enforcement or preferably speed bumps or traffic calmers on
intersection of 18th Street and Seminole.Just this year,I have seen 4 cars blast through stop
signs going South on Seminole.Hazard to pedestrians,cyclists and motorists.Thanks!
if the existing speed limits were actually enforced,we wouldn't have the problem we do.
Speeding on plaza and sailfish is getting bad.The stop sign and speed signs on royal palm
helps.I was driving the speed limit (honestly probably 5 over)coming from donner to sand
piper.A car was incredibly dangerous,following me extremely close,then sped around me on
sandpiper.Seeing more of this lately and not the beaches community I love and feel safe in.
We are active walkers and bikers in the AB community.as well as drivers on the roads.My
observations are that the safety issue is not just about the drivers...we've experienced
numerous times where bikers pedal through stop signs without even slowing down,and also
people who step into the road (not at crosswalk)and expect the driver to slam their brakes.
Serious consideration for ensuring and enforcing safe practices by bikers and walkers/runner
NoneEnforce existing speed limits.Plaza speed limit really needs to be lowered.Vehicles often traveling at 40 mph in a 25 mphzone.Maybe consider speed humps or the permanent individual speed indicator signs.I believe current speed limits are appropriate.People drive way too fast especially in the residential areas.Additional stop sign and speedbumpsneedtobeconsideredtomakepeopledriveslowerintown.Also the 5-way stop needssomethingdone.Too many people just dont care.Last point,Mayport Road needs to have a19/20

Presented to the COAB Commission on April 25,2022
DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS from the Mayor's Council on Health and
recommendations through its final meeting on November 2,
Wellbeing to the COAB Commission
(NOTE:The Council will continue discussing and revising
2022.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.)
January 2022:Census and Youth Risk Behavior Data
1.Identify local gaps and needs for programs and plans
directed toward seniors.
Identify local gaps and needs for programs that address
alarming youth trends in the areas of physical activity,
substance abuse,and mental health issues.
Improve tools to engage residents and improve
accessibility of programs throughout the city.
February 2022:Blue Zones
1.While the City of Atlantic Beach scores high on the life
satisfaction survey (Gallup Survey,2018),people most in
need of healthy living choices may not respond to such
surveys.The COAB would do well to identify areas of the
community that may need further outreach—and then follow—up
as needed.
.If the COAB is not included in the Blue Zones Jacksonville
initiative,the COAB should endorse the project's goals.
.The Council will promote efforts to connect people and
neighborhoods,healthy food choices,discourage tobacco
use,and discourage excessive alcohol use.‘
March 2022:Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Plan for
Atlantic Beach,Florida
1.
.Focus on what is doable in COAB.
.Prioritize connectivity projects in an equitable way,
Explore the use of the JEA utility corridor (that does not
encroach on NFL Land Trust easement or residential property)in
the marsh area (off Atlantic Blvd)for bike and pedestrian use.
Some of the data might not fit
COAB.We are a cul—de—sac community with escalating traffic.
consider an
established bike route,and,in the short term explore a Selva
Marina walking path (northern end of Selva Marina Drive between
20“and Saturiba Drive).
As the numbers and types of recreational vehicles that arecapableofexceeding15miles/hour (like electric bikes,boards,motorcycles,golfcarts)escalate,the COAB Commission needs tocontinueexploringpossiblelegislativeactionthataddresseswhatissafetooperateonourstreets/sidewalks.Agenda Item #7.A.25 Apr 2022Page 91 of 119

Employee Wages and Payroll Taxes

thisis
the First time a rnid—year adjustrnent has been necessaiy since 201S-

of the tree code case.Both cases of course were unforeseen a
t
th

timethe
budget was developed and approved.Currently,most ofthe forthe
ADA dog leash case is now completed (the trial has been postp
oned
twice
by the court,neither ofwhich has been at the request of the Ci

andanew
trial date will be set on April 6th by the court)and the City’s brief
in the tree code case will be due in early June.The City /

andthe

cover both cases,but to date,the can'ier has not accepted covera

that the increase will be adequate through the end of this FY any
further unexpected turns in the cases or new matters.
Budget Amendment Corrections
There are times when other governmental or enterprise funds

amendment would show the funds being appropriated froth on

said there are 2 triggers:1)addition of 250 square feet and 2)the 50%market value of
the structure (not including the land),then you have to bring the entire site up to
compliance.Ms.Golombek asked if it was a fiat 250 square feet or if there was a
schedule.Director Askew said it was based on the 250 square feet alone.Ms.Durden
read the section of the code pertaining to this and further clarified it for the Board.
APPLICANT COMMENT:Michael Dunlap of 1120 22nd Avenue in Jacksonville
Beach introduced himself as the architect for the project.He explained some of the
history of the house and spoke highly of its unique architecture.Mr.Dunlap believed
there was sufficient retention on the lot which is 1.3 acres.He explained that cost for
stormwater retention was a concern for the owner.
Ms.Simmons said she was concerned about the direction of the drainage after the new
construction.Mr.Dunlap said the existing conditions wouldn't change and there
currently isn't an issue with drainage.He confirmed for Chair Hansen that this would be
an addition to the first unit and not an additional 4th unit.Mr.Dunlap explained that the
addition would be a mix of living area and a covered area with 8'overhangs.Mr.Haynie
asked if there were any other options considered that would meet the code.Mr.Dunlap
said this is the 2nd option they have considered.Mr.Moyer asked what the drainage
designer thought of this option.Mr.Dunlap said they were hoping for a favorable
outcome of the variance request so they didn't bring the drainage designer.
PUBLIC COMMENT:Chair Hansen opened the floor to public comment.Ms.Durden
held the swearing in.Allen Wankat of 60 Seminole Landing Road introduced himself
as the neighbor to south.He said he currently experiences washout from the pool.Mr.
Wankat was concerned that the current swale would be covered up during construction.
Don Ford of 338 6th Street introduced himself as project manager for the applicant.He
spoke in favor of the project and said he would not allow any additional run-off to any
adjacent properties.Sarah Bohr introduced herself as the applicant.She spoke about the
excellent drainage that the property has had during the past 26 years.
BOARD DISCUSSION:Mr.Dunlap confirmed for the Board that there are 3 units.
Ms.Lanier asked whether the swale would be ?lled in during construction.Mr.Dunlap
said they have a permit to put in 50 cubic yards east of the new deck which would fill
1/3 of the swale in.Ms.Durden confirmed for Ms.Golombek that the property owner
can only ask for a retention exception one time and any future additions would have to
meet code.Ms.Lagner asked who calculates the retention and do they take right-of-
ways into consideration.Director Askew said Public Works does the calculations and it
is based on the boundaries of the property.She confirmed for Ms.Simmons that the
existing swale is on the property.Ms.Lanier disclosed that the owner of the property is
a friend of hers and she has been to the property.She agreed with Mr.Dunlap and she
said that since there is a way to prevent future run-off then it should be done.Mr.Moyeraskedifthevariancewasapprovedandthenlatertherewasanissue,could the Citymandatethattheapplicantfixit.Mr.Haynie said he just didn't see a grounds under whichthecodeshouldn't be complied with.Ms.Simmons suggested grounds #1 but Mr.Haynie didn't think that had been proven.Ms.Durden added that if the variance isCommunityDevelopmentBoard(CDB)March 15,2022Page2of4 Agenda Item #9.B.25 Apr 2022Page 116 of 119
