IIChairman Don Wolfson called the meeting to order and asked for approval of the
minutes of the special meeting on October 19, 1999. On motion made and seconded the
minutes were approved.
I. Application for Variance to Minimum Lot Dimensions for duplex construction
filed by Baird Seymour at property known as Lot 6, Block 160, Section H.
Jamie Williams, speaking on behalf of Baird Seymour, introduced herself to the
board and stated that the applicant purchased the lot and prior to the purchase they were
given information by city staff that it was located in a duplex zoned lot. After purchasing
the lot it was discovered that the lot width is five feet less than the required 75 feet for the
duplex and the lot size required is less that 7500 square feet.
Mr. Worley stated that the actual lot size is 70 x 102 feet.
After discussion, Mrs. Pillmore moved to approve a variance to construct the
structure on a substandard lot and Mrs. Simpkins seconded the motion.
Mr. Worley stated that the board has two options, one would be to grant the
variance as requested allowing the construction that did not meet the minimum lot
dimension requirement of 75 feet and the other would be to deny the variance thus taking
0 an administrative action that would allow the applicant to further pursue the matter. He
stated that based on the information that he has he would recommend that the variance
1110 be granted.
The Chairman stated that he has a concern with granting a variance based on an
oral dialog in which accurate information was not obtained.
Mrs. Pillmore stated that she chooses to ignore the argument as to who said what
and prefers to recognize that the applicant has come before them with a substandard lot
and they have agreed to adhere to the setbacks and that is why she made her motion.
The Chairman requested the board members to complete their variance worksheets.
After discussion, the board denied the request by a split vote with three ayes from
Mrs. Pillmore, Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Simpkins and three nay votes from Mr. Burkhart, Mr.
Frohwein and Mr. Wolfson.
II. Application for Use-by-Exception filed by Charles R. Watson to construct a
structure to operate as wholesale food products business at property known as Lots 1,2,3,
Block 26, Section H.
Tom Nugens introduced himself to the board as purchasers of the property and
stated that Charles Watson is the seller. He explained that the sale is dependant on
approval of the requested use-by-exception. He presented the board with copies of
4111 modified plans to allow for the recommended parking as well as eliminating the roll up door
facing Mayport Road.
Robin Shepard introduced himself and spoke in favor of the use-by-exception and
stated that the proposed business was import/export of hot sauce that is imported from
Costa Rica and sold internationally.
Mr. Nugens stated that there was no repackaging or reprocessing. He added that
deliveries are made by tractor/trailer once a month and sold throughout the month
After discussion, Mr. Burkhart moved to recommend approval of the use-by-
exception as amended by the applicant and incorporating staff's requirements. Mrs.
Walker seconded the motion.
Responding to questions from the Chairman, Mr. Worley stated that anything larger
than the smallest tractor trailer will not be able to make a U-turn on Mayport Road and in
his view traffic would proceed west on Plaza, turn left on Orchid and left on West 2nd. He
added that the first one half of the block between Mayport and Orchid Street is zoned
commercial general and the second half is zoned RG-1.
Mr. Burkhart suggested signage at Plaza for no left turn for trucks which will require
them to go to Levy Road which is zoned commercial.
Mr. Worley agreed with Mr. Burkhart's suggestion to proceed west on Levy Road,
r
0 left on the first street south which is Rose Street and then east on West 14`h Street and
back to Mayport Road limiting the turn around to a one block area.
Mrs. Walker expressed her concern regarding the number of deliveries that will be
required as business increases.
At the recommendation from Mr. Frohwein, Mr. Burkhart amended his motion to
include that delivery vehicles not use the Mayport Road Driveway entrance.
At Mr. Burkhart's request, the Chairman restated the motion, to-wit: To recommend
to the City Commission that the use-by-exception be approved provided that two additional
parking spaces be added on the east side of the building creating a total of seven parking
' spaces, that there be no roll up canister door facing Mayport Road, that the hours be set
forth as daylight and weekday, that there be no direct Mayport Road driveway and that the
use-by-exception granted to this applicant only and for this location only. Thereafter, the
motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION
1. Traffic impacts from Mayport Road Flyover with Public Safety Representative.
0The Chairman read a memorandum from Public Safety Director David Thompson
which stated the need of accurate plans prior to addressing the board. He stated he will
attend the next meeting of the board concerning this matter.
Mr. Worley stated that Public Safety needs to look at 100% drawings of the flyover
and street layouts in the area. He suggested that the board furnish a list of things they
need to specifically address.
The following are some of the items that needed to be addressed by Public Safety:
1. Through traffic by trucks in residential areas for the first eight blocks of Mayport
Road;
2. Signs routing trucks around residential property;
3. Widening some roads to accommodate the additional traffic;
4. Slower traffic throughout the area.
Mrs. Piilmore stated she would like to see some projected consideration of how the
residents will be impacted and probable traffic patterns. She added that Main Street might
be the most acceptable road for encouraging traffic flow.
Mr. Worley stated that a meeting was held on November 15`h at the Comfort Inn for
businessmen and interested parties from the Cities of Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville and
Chamber of Commerce to discuss potential beautification and landscaping work on
0 Mayport Road between Atlantic Boulevard and the split at A1A. Part of the discussion was
the potential for working with FDOT to put center lane curb medians the full length of the
s
0 roadway with left hand cuts similar to Atlantic Boulevard medians.
Mr. Worley stated he would put together an outline for the presentation by the Public
Safety Department when they appear before the board. He stated he would send a copy
of the outline to the board members for their input prior to sending it to the Public Safety
Director or his designee.
2. Member Attendance
The Chairman announced the resignation of Buzzy Grunthal and if the board
members had a recommendation for his replacement to furnish same to the City Clerk.
The Chairman stated that the ordinance regarding the Community Development
Board did not include member attendance requirements and in rewriting the ordinance this
requirement will be added. He encouraged each member to attend the meetings as
regularly as possible so that the board can not have potential problems of a lack of
quorums and if a member cannot attend =a meeting that they contact the Recording
Secretary.
The Chairman moved to acknowledge Mr. Grunthal's service on the Community
411 Development with a presentation of a plaque showing appreciation for his commitment to
making Atlantic Beach a better place to live. Mrs. Fillmore seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
3. Review of Revisions to the Zoning Code of Ordinances.
At the suggestion from Mr. Frohwein regarding an outline of the items reviewed and
amended, the consensus of the board was to complete this review at the earliest possible
time and directed Mr. Worley to communicate with the City Manager regarding part time
assistance as necessary to complete this project post haste.
Mr. Worley stated that he would put together a packet of update pages to the board
for review to facilitate this review to completion and schedule a workshop meeting the first
part of December.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
