2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Ms. Drysdale called for a motion to approve the minutes of
the January 20, 2009 regular meeting. Ellen Glasser moved that the Board approve the

3. RECOGNITION OF VISITORS. There were no visitors present at the meeting.
4. OLD BUSINESS. There was no old business for consideration.
5. NEW BUSINESS.
a. Public Hearing to consider and make a recommendation to the City Commission
related to a proposed amendment to the 2015 Comprehensive Plan, which will adopt
the required annual update to the Capital Improvements Element of said Plan. No
other amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are proposed at this time.
Mr. Lambertson introduced the item and asked Ms. Doerr to discuss the purpose of this
amendment. Ms. Doerr explained that state growth management law requires the City to
review and update the Capital improvements element of the Comprehensive Plan yearly
and that the Community Development Board, in its role as the Local Planning Agency is
required to make a recommendation to the City Commission for all Comprehensive Plan
amendments. Ms. Doerr explained that the tables on the final two pages reflect the City's
capital projects budget through 2014.
Additionally, she noted the new policies (page 5) related to school facilities planning and
school concurrency and explained that though level of service was not an issue at the
Atlantic Beach Elementary, which is currently at approximately 55% capacity, state
mandates requires local governments to adopt these policies.

MOTION: Joshua Putterman moved that the Board recommend adoption of
amendment to the 2015 Comprehensive Plan, which will adopt the required annual
update to the Capital Improvements Element of said Plan, to the City Commission,
finding that this is a mandatory requirement of the State of Florida. Ellen Glasser
seconded the motion and it carried unanimously, 7-0.
6. OTHER BUSINESS NOT REQUIRING ACTION. Discussion of forthcoming
Evaluation and Appraisal Report-based Comprehensive Plan amendment process, and
an informal review of the first draft of proposed tent amendments to the Future Land
Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Doerr reminded the Board and audience that public comment was welcomed at this
discussion, and reminded them that there would be future public hearings and workshops
scheduled specifically for input on the amendments. Board members asked general
questions of how water/sewer capacity had changed, as well as how usage was affecting
revenues. Ms. Glasser noted that it is ironic that the less water one uses, the more it costs
because municipalities are finding themselves in positions to raise rates to balances losses
to conservation-minded citizens.
Ms. Doerr also briefly touched upon the potential impact of TMDLs (Total Maximum
Daily Load) and the mandated reduction of nitrogen on utility costs and noted that Public
Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak would be present to speak in depth on the subject
within the next couple of months as the Board reviewed the other elements to be
amended. She also confirmed that either Public Works Director Rick Carper or Deputy
Director Tim Gilboy would be addressing the Board on issues related to amendment of
the Infrastructure element, including stormwater facilities, which Mr. Lambertson
expressed interest in.
Ms. Doerr told the Board that she anticipated presenting the amendments over two to
three meetings so that they would have adequate time to digest the material and address
all issues.
7. ADJOURNMENT. Chairman Lambertson adjourned the meeting at 6:58 pm.
Signed: Chris Lambertson, Chairman
