Proposed Development for Moody Marine Site At the meeting on November 27, 2006, the
City Commission asked for the staff to report on plans for redevelopment of the Moody site on
the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway and possibly to schedule a workshop for the
commission to consider if any input from Atlantic Beach should be provided to Jacksonville.
Information on this was sent to the City Commission with a memo dated November 29, 2006
from Sonya Doerr. Attached was a copy of the proposed Comp Plan amendment and a staff
report with recommendations from the City of Jacksonville Planning Department. The issues
that have been expressed by the Atlantic Beach Commission relating to this development have
largely revolved around height and any possible impact dealing with hurricane evacuations. The
developer has been asked to provide a study of the impact on hurricane evacuation. Specific
'~" information about the height will not be presented until the zoning application is submitted
sometime in February of 2007. It is therefore staff's recommendation that the City Commission
wait until information on those subjects is available before setting any specific time to discuss
~"" possible input to the City of Jacksonville.
Mayport Road Medians At the September 25, 2006 meeting, the commission chose Median
"" Concept C for the design of the medians to be installed along Mayport Road, but made several
comments to modify that plan. City staff then worked with the design consultants, to come up
with a modified plan that met the requirements. These include paved strips at various places
~"' 'along the medians with circular landscaped areas in the center. In these areas will be planted
crepe myrtles with red or pink blooms. The planting at the base of the crepe myrtles has yet to
be determined, but a main consideration is something that will provide color throughout the year.
~" The larger landscaped areas in these medians will include the perennial peanut planting and palm
trees as originally envisioned in the Concepts C design. A drawing of the amended concept is
attached for your information. Designers have yet to evaluate material for the pavement around
~" the circular landscaped areas as well as the spacing of these in each Mayport Road median.
I~Tews rack ®rdinance Status; City staff is still awaiting input from various newspaper groups
about the proposed language of the newspaper rack ordinance which was circulated several
weeks ago. Within the last week, staff was asked for solve additional time to get the last of the

newspaper providers contacted. It is expected that a report will be made to the City Commission
during January 2007. ~"'
Tree Ordinance Status; The issue of how much to charge for clear-cutting a lot was discussed
at the last city commission meeting in connection with several administrative amendments to the ~"
Tree Ordinance. The first reading of that ordinance was deferred until the 12/11/06 meeting. A
report on this could not be completed in time for this meeting and it is the staff s
recommendation that the first reading be delayed until a report can be presented at the meeting ..~
on January 8, 2007.
