5 . Report_L of Committees:
a . Water & Sewer status report
Mayor Fletcher gave a report relative to the
various boards and committees of the city . He
asked citizens to let him know if they would be
interested in serving on the Water and Sewer•
Committee . He explained the function of the
Comittee was to bring the water and sewer utility
up to current standards . He indicated the
population had doubled and this put tremendous
pressure on the city ' s utility system, and it was
necessary to expand the sewer plant . He explained
state and federal agencies oversee this expansion
and if it was not dealt with the city could be
fined . He indicated the expansion of the sewer
plant would be built by next year .
A discussion ensued relative to impact fees and it
was explained impact fees help pay for future
expansion of the system.
William J . Ryszykow, 535 Royal Palm Drive ,
referred to a City of Jacksonville proposed
housing project on the west side of Mayport Road
and he was concerned that the amount of people
moving into the area would burden the city ' s sewer
system. Bob Kosoy explained the project he
referred to would be connected to the Buccaneer
system.

presented Findings of the Stormwater and Drainage
Committee (copy attached hereto and made a part

February 14 , 1991- NAME OF
COMMRS. MSYN
a . Public hearing and related action on an
application for a use by exception filed by
Sarah B . Jackson to operate a day care
business on property located at 458 Sargo
Road
George Worley , City Planner , advised Sarah B
Jackson operated a child care service in her horn.
at 458 Sargo Road ( RS-- 1 zoning district) . Sh:
kept five children which fell below the threshol '
necessary to classify her as a "Child Cart
Facility" by the definitions in the Zoning Code
Because she fell below the threshold number o
children , she was not subject to HRS regulations
Mr . Worley explained Ms . Jackson desired to expan•
her operation to accommodate ten children whic
would then become a "Child Care Facility" b
definition , and the RS- 1 district did not lis
that type of use as either a Permitted Use or as .,
Use-by -Exception .
Mr . Worley explained RS districts did not permi
Child Care Facilities while the RG district -
permitted them as Uses-by-Exception . Th
Community Development Board unanimously voted to
deny this request based upon the fact that th
proposed use was not a listed Use-by-Exception i
the RS- 1 zoning district . He reported durin•;
discussion prior to the vote it was suggested b
several members that an ordinance amendment coult
be considered by the City Commission if it wa -
their desire to permit Child Care Facilities a -
Uses-by-Exception in RS districts .
Mayor Fletcher opened the floor for a publi .
hearing and invited comments from the audience .
Sara Jackson , 458 Sargo Road , indicated she hat
always cared for children and that she would lik:
to increase the number of children she cared fo
in order to provide the service at a reasonabl
price .

indicating their support for allowing her t.
expand her daycare business . Many were sing1t
mothers who said they would not be able to work i
not for Ms . Jackson ' s low rates . It was explaine.
she provided a service otherwise unaffordable an.
unavailable for families , and that she had been
loving and caring figure for children during the
Hast 25 years . It was explained she provided car:
for children until late in the evening , making i
possible for mothers to attend school and continue
Page 8 V V
February 14 , 1994 NAME OF
COMMRS. MSYN
to work , while secure that their children were
being well cared for .
Three residents spoke against allowing the
day-care to expand in a residential district , and
it was suggested that perhaps another location
could he found to operate a daycare . Whereas ,
there was no opposition to having five children to
care for , it was felt having 10 children in a
residential district was not realistic .
Since no one wished to speak further the Mayor
closed the Public Hearing .
Mayor Fletcher acknowledged that Ms . Jackson
provided an important service for her neighborhood
and he felt it was not in the community ' s best
interest to stop her from providing the service .
He noted that current zoning codes provided no
chance of relief , and he suggested the commission
defer the matter to the zoning committee and then
consider possible solutions at the February 28 ,
1994 meeting .

Commissioner Waters was opposed to introducing
commercial encroachments within a residential
area , as he wished to protect the integrity of the
neighborhood . He suggested utilizing a church as
a possible alternative .
Commissioner Rosenbloom expressed support for Ms .
Jackson and suggested the Commission needed to
look beyond the code book and into their hearts .
Commissioner Weiss also supported the possibility
of finding a solution , and he felt community
values were important . While he agreed with
Commissioner Waters , he felt Ms . Jackson ' s house
was one of the nicest in the neighborhood , being
tidy with a fenced in yard .

furnished citizens along with the parking sticker
so that people would know where to park . Chief

was explained it was not possible for the builder
to get title insurance with a blanket easement .
Tom Sheffied , Soforenko Homes , explained if the

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kim D. Leinbach/City Manager

RE: WATER AND SEWER COMMITTEE REPORT #5
The Water and Sewer Committee met on January 17, 1994 and the
attendees were: Mayor Fletcher, Kim Leinbach, Jim Jarboe,
Harry McNally, Alan Potter, Tom Hawk and Bob Kosoy. Items of
discussion were:
1. STATUS OF AB WWTP - Tom Hawk reviewed the status of
design, specifically the analysis of motors, geotechnical
work, aeration calculations, sizing of splitter to the
clarifiers and the possibility of a Stormwater Permit.
He also presented a Project Flow Chart and Time Schedule
and assured the Committee that he would complete the
financing package with the Finance Director in order that
application can be made to DEP by February 15, 1994.
The Committee reviewed the Facilities Plan and a Public
Hearing will be held on February 22, 1994. (This
Facilities Plan was revised and resubmitted to the City
on February 2, 1994. )
2. REVIEW OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN - Bob Kosoy presented
a draft list of Capital Projects and the drawdown on
each. This spread sheet will require complete review by
the Finance Department.
3. ASSESSMENTS - The Assessment Hearing was held on January
17, 1994 to establish assessments for Ocean Grove Drive
water and sewer, water in the Dewees Avenue area, and
sewer on Seminole Road between 17th and 18th Streets.
Staff will review Capital Improvement funds with Finance
Director to determine if monies are available for the
Ocean Grove Drive sewer project. The Construction
Official will send a letter to all residents on the
Coquina Well advising them to connect to City water
since the well will be condemned.
r ti
4. BUCCANEER WTP & WWTP - Harry McNally reviewed the status
of several items:
a) Well at #3 WTP - due to high levels of Inorganic
Nitrates, HRS will not allow the new well to be put
into service. Additional sampling will be performed.
b) CCCF- (Chlorine Contact Chamber Facility) - This
project is nearing completion and is awaiting
clearance of the new digester.
c) Force Main at Puckett Creek - We are still awaiting a
Dredge and Fill Permit. The Committee suggested that
if additional assistance is needed to obtain this
permit, Kim Leinbach, Jim Jarboe or the City Attorney
should be contacted.
d) Sewer Main at Bikini Beach Bar - Harry McNally
advised that the sewer lateral from this bar leads to
a system of substandard mains and structures
constructed by the trailer park. These lines will be
targeted for abandonment or replacement as necessary.
e) We located a 2" galvanized water main near the Lil'
Champ south of Yarborough Motors in the drainage
ditch that needs to be replaced.

the state ditch the stream bed was fairly clear. At the halfway point it became apparent
cleaning had ceased and the stream was in need of moderate cleaning of vegetation and
debris.
2. At the southbound turn, behind and just west of the 300-400 block of
Aquatic Drive severe obstruction to stream flow was noted. The entire ditch was
overgrown and streamgrown with moderate sized brush and trees. In two cases large
trees had collapsed completely across the ditch bed. Much household, (water heater, toys,
plastic artifacts, furniture), and industrial material such as tires and drums were found.
Two outfalls from the Saratoga Court area were noted. Others may exist, but vegetation
precluded sightings.
3. Possible backyard and sideyard fence encroachments in this area will
adversely affect mechanical equipment used for cleaning. Right of way to the east of ditch
varied from measured 15 feet to less than 6 feet.
4. There was a slight water flow to the exit at all times.
5. There is a 3-way drain east of Sunrise Community Church and south of the
Aquatic Gardens complex. This appears to drain under Aquatic Drive, but it is severely
blocked by several seasons of vegetative growth.
6. A large, unnamed, holding pond type water body exists south and west of
the Aquatic Gardens tennis courts. A weir-type drain at the north end keeps this pond at
about 2 to 3 feet above usual high tide level of the Skate Road ditch. It does not show on
available maps, nor is its use apparent.
7. At the intersection of Skate Road ditch, the Cavalla ditch and the Aquatic
Pool ditch, 3 medium sized pipes catch debris at minimal water flow. Additionally, two of

r
ABI4FE94.DOC
the pipes appear to be used as pedestrian footbridges. The Skate Road ditch appears
relatively unobstructed from this point north to Plaza. However, there is some diminution
of right of way noted in places along the western bank.
8. Down stream of Aquatic Pool a box culvert that serves the Publix-Turtles
parking area has greater flow potential (opening for additional water) at high tide than the
similar, but limiting culvert under Atlantic Boulevard during like conditions.
9. Possible flooding of the rear of Aquatic Gardens is understandable in view
of these findings.
10. Further discussion of, and possible solutions to this one Atlantic Beach
drain field for less than hurricane conditions will be solicited during a public meeting in
March.
11. Two additional members for the committee are needed. They should be
available at short notice during flood conditions, and they should be good mudders.
