CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 10 Th Street Parking
SUBMITTED BY: Jim Jarboe, City Manage
David E. Thompson, Director of Public Safety
John Campbell, Asst. Chief of Police
Don Ford, Building Official
George Worley, Community Development Director
DATE: August 18, 1998
BACKGROUND: At the City Commission meeting July 27, 1998, the City Manager
was directed, along with staff, to seek various solutions to the 10 Th Street parking problems.
The alternatives below include a variety of possible solutions along with the anticipated benefits,
problems, and questions (criticisms) for each action.
1. Take No Action
The existing problem was created in 1979 when the developer was allowed to convert to
townhouses with the full understanding and knowledge that there would be insufficient
parking. Although it creates an inconvenience for the residents, they should have
recognized this when they bought the townhouses. Residents of the townhouses have had
to compete for public, on-street parking, which is a particular problem in the Spring and
Summer months when the demand for parking is high. This is largely a seasonal
phenomenon, and the residents have apparently adapted to this inconvenience over the
years.
Benefits: This would not require any action, expense, or risk on the part of the City. It
would not create a public relations problem, establish a new precedent for the use of
public property, cost money and staff time,reduce available public parking, or generate
criticism and conflict with other public agencies.
Problems: The residents would have to continue to compete for public parking which is
what they have had to do in the past.
2. Reinstate the Parking Permit Program
The City could re-adopt a permit parking program similar to the previous one for the city.
This would include passing an ordinance establishing the program, issuing stickers
citywide for parking, and enforcing the ordinance through police action.
Benefits: This would greatly reduce the number of people who could use the public
parking spaces. This would make the spaces available for residents at the townhouses for
a nominal fee.
Problems: There are a variety of problems that may result from this action. Last time
we implemented such a program, it drew criticism from Jacksonville and the media.
A new permit program would open the door to requests for permit spaces throughout the
city. The last time the City did this, we received requests throughout the city for permit
spaces, and we added permit spaces to such areas as Poinsettia Street behind the school.
If we do this for people in one area, then we will be expected to do it for other people
throughout the city.
Such a program will require city hall staff time for permits, law enforcement for the
spaces, and public works time and materials for marking spaces. All of this will be
utilized to accommodate a small number of citizens with a seasonal problem. We can
also expect criticism from other Atlantic Beach residents who feel that the parking near
the beach is already too restrictive, and such a program will adversely affect their ability
to find a public parking place.
3. Lease Spaces to the Residents
Another possible solution would be to lease the spaces to the residents. The City could
identify one or more spaces for this purpose, establish a lease rate, and allow people to
lease one or more spaces.
Benefits: This would provide some revenue to the city for the use of these spaces. It
would also allow residents to be assured of having a parking space where they could park
without having to compete with the public.
Problems: A variety of challenges surface when trying to implement this project. There
are many decisions that will have to be made, and each decision brings potential conflict
and criticism. For instance, how many spaces will be made available, and where will
they be located? Will a lease be monthly? Annually? Paid in full monthly?Annually?
Will the leasing be available to all city residents? Jacksonville residents? Is the City
going to offer this privilege to other condos, townhouses, apartments, residences, and/or
businesses? Why or why not? Will the program expand to require significant
commission and staff time to administer? How will the enforcement take place since the
police don't enforce parking on private property? What are the residents of the
townhouses putting into this project... after all they bought the townhouses and they have
the problem?
This will reduce the number of public parking spaces, and it is likely to bring criticism
from Jacksonville, Atlantic Beach residents, and others.
4. Selling Spaces to Homeowners
Since the homeowner's association is not active in the townhouses, it will not be feasible
to sell a block of spaces to the association. For this reason, the sale of these spaces would
essentially have to be handled through negotiations with individual homeowners. The
city could have the property appraised and negotiate the sale of the spaces if they chose to
do so.
Benefits: The city could generate some revenue by selling spaces, and the townhouse
residents could purchase a space if they were inclined to do so.
Problems: The problems with this are numerous. Similar to number 3 above, there are
many questions that will bring potential criticism. How much will the spaces cost? Will
spaces be offered to all Atlantic Beach residents? Jacksonville residents? Will anyone
pay a fair market value for the property? If purchased, will they be allowed to use the
property for other purposes? How will they be purchased or financed? Will we set a
precedent to allow other residents and businesses to purchase City property for parking?
Public parking will be reduced, which will bring criticism from Atlantic residents,
Jacksonville, and others.
5. Parking Meters
Parking meters were suggested at one time to help with parking problems near the beach,
but there is no apparent advantage to the residents if this is done.
Benefits: If meters were placed on 10 Th Street, then some people would seek other
places to park.
Problems: The problems are numerous. However, the bottom line is that they will not
provide additional parking for residents. They will be expensive, they will require
enforcement and maintenance, and they will have to be spread throughout the city to
avoid claims of favoritism. Considering the number of spaces available in Atlantic Beach
for this purpose, it would be a financial drain on City resources, and it would not
generate enough revenue to cover its costs to the City.
This would also create problems for townhouse residents who would have to feed the
parking meters every few hour to park their cars.
6. Take Out the Courtyard Area at the Townhouses and Add Parallel Parking on their
Private Property
If the courtyard area was removed from the townhouses, then parallel parking could be
marked on the private property in front of their townhouses. The other side of the
roadway(South side) could be changed to angle parking so that the decrease in parking
spaces is not too dramatic.
Benefits: The private parking would be on private property, and the residents would be
required to pay the expenses necessary to make the changes. Spaces would have to be
aligned with the individual units. It would not require City resources for enforcement,
marking, or administration. The private citizens would be taking care of a private
problem with their private funds.
Problems: It is very doubtful that the residents at the townhouses would agree to giving
up their courtyard areas and fence. It would not be a very aesthetically pleasing solution.
It will probably create great conflict among the residents, assuming that any of them
would actually want to do this.
There would be some cost to the City to re-stripe the roadway, and some citizens would
undoubtedly contest the loss of public parking spaces that would result. Additionally, the
parking would be private, and it would not be subject to enforcement by the Police
Department. It could be marked as a"tow away"zone by the residents, and it would be
enforced privately.
7. Remove the Fence and Courtyard Area and Allow Straight or Angle Parking in Front of
the Townhouses, and Mark Angle Parking on the South Side of the Street
This would remove the fence and courtyard areas so that most of the cars using the spaces
would be on private property.
Benefits: Most of the cars parked in front of the townhouses would be on private
property, which would not allow the public to park in the spaces.
Problems: Similar to number 6 above, it will not be attractive, we doubt that many
residents at the townhouse would be willing to do it, and it would eliminate public
parking which would result in criticism. It would also result in part of the cars extending
onto public property.
Additionally, the angle parking on the South side of the street would be backing into the
roadway while vehicles from the North side would be backing into the same area. This
would create a traffic hazard. It would necessitate back-up all the way to Beach Avenue
if no turn around space is provided. Creating a turn around area would reduce the number
of parking spaces.
8. Contract with Cloisters or Sea Place for more Parking
The townhouse residents could contact the Cloisters and Sea Place to see if the residents
could lease space in the nearby parking lots.
Benefits: This would allow the residents to have parking nearby without eliminating
public parking spaces. It would also be a private solution for a private problem. It would
not cost the City in terms of staff or money, and it would avoid the criticisms discussed in
many of the alternatives noted above. And, the condos might be able to generate some
revenue in the process.
Problems: The nearby spaces would not be in front of the townhouses, and they would
require a brief walk from the parking lots.
The Cloisters is already limited relative to parking... 1.5 spaces per unit is already non-
conforming under our code, and they have recently installed gates because of people
inappropriately using their parking area. It is doubtful that they would be willing to lease
spaces.
Sea Place is further away from the townhouses than the Cloisters, which makes their
parking less desirable. This would also require permitting through the City Clerk. This
could be interpreted as running a business by leasing or renting parking spaces, and this
would require an appropriate permit. This would be further complicated by the fact that
the condos are required to provide at least 2 spaces per unit under the City Code, and they
would not be allowed to reduce that number to a non-conforming level.
Summary:
In the previous discussion with the City Commission, the Commission indicated that it
wanted to look at alternatives beyond#1 above. The City Commission also requested a
staff recommendation as to which of the remaining alternatives would be preferred or
recommended. After discussing the various choices, the staff committee recommended
the implementation of#3, leasing spaces.
The recommendation includes identifying a maximum of ten(10) spaces (one per
townhouse) to lease to the townhouse owners at a rate of$500 per year.
Ideally, it would be to the City's advantage to deal with a homeowners' association to
rent a block of spaces. However, since there is no active homeowners' association, this
does not appear to be a feasible option. If the demand from individual homeowners does
not commit all ten (10) spaces to leased parking, then the remaining spaces would remain
public. This will leave a minimum of fourteen(14) spaces open for public parking, and in
all probability, there will be more than fourteen(14)public spaces. The spaces should be
grouped together at the West end of the on-street parking area. Trying to mark individual
spaces scattered throughout the parking area would be confusing and problematic.
Spaces should be marked by the City to assure that they are clearly and properly signed
and painted. In addition, the leases should include a statement that the use of the spaces
will be in compliance with all local codes and state laws. Enforcement will require the
active participation of the leaseholders. Since the police will have no way of knowing
what vehicles are authorized to park in the spaces, the leaseholders will have to call the
police when an unauthorized vehicle parks in one of the spaces.
The leasing rate is less than the$60+per month that is charged by Jacksonville for
premium parking garage parking spaces downtown, and this fee will help to defray the
expenses of planning, advertising, marking, and enforcement. If residents are not willing
to pay for this special privilege, then the spaces should remain open to the public. The
$500 should be paid in a lump sum, and it should be non-refundable.
The City should consider this a unique solution to address a unique problem. With this
understanding, the City may be able to avoid requests from businesses, residents, etc.
throughout the city from making similar requests.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Since the City Commission has already indicated that#1 is not
acceptable, the recommendation from staff is for the City Commission to consider #3 above.
ATTACHMENTS: We recommend that the City Commission direct the City Attorney to draft a
City Ordinance which authorizes the City to lease public, on-street parking to property owners at
the townhouses at the end of 10 Th street.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 10th Street Parking History
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, rector of Public Safety
DATE: July 21, 1998
BACKGROUND: The Parking problem has existed at the 10th Street end zone for
many years, and it has been discussed, researched, and debated repeatedly in the past. It has also
come before the City Commission several times in the past. The following summary is intended to
provide general, background information relative to the history of the problem.
The existing townhouses at the end of 10th Street do not have any on-street parking. They have a
few parking spaces at the West end of the complex, but there is not nearly enough parking to
meet the needs of the residents. The parking in the front (south side) of the complex is public
parking. As with other areas near the oceanfront, this parking is quickly filled in the warmer
months by members of the public. When the spaces are filled,there is nowhere for the residents
to park.
There have been several changes in the complex over the years. At one time, it was an apartment
complex(Bikini Apartments). Originally, there were fewer dwelling units, and there was more
parking to the West. Later, about 20 years ago, a building expansion eliminated some of the
parking, and the developers were told that the residents would not have enough dedicated
parking, but the project was approved and built. This added more dwelling units and eliminated
parking spaces.
For years, the residents put up signs along 10th Street identifying spaces as private property and
tow-a-way zones. However, these signs were removed because the parking was not the property
of the residents. It was public parking.
Many of the existing residents who purchased the townhouses, were unaware that they did not
have any private parking. They were either led or allowed to believe that the spaces in front of
the building were for their use. Now, they do not have private parking, and they have to compete
for public parking spaces.
In the early 1990s,the City adopted a permit parking program. This program established parking
spaces in various areas of Atlantic Beach that were restricted to residents only. Residents were
required to purchase an annual sticker for their car, and it allowed them to use the permit parking
spaces.
Most of the spaces on 10th Street were identified as permit parking spaces. Six(6) spaces were
still available for public parking, but the other twenty(20) spaces were restricted to permit
parking. This allowed the residents to use the majority of the spaces, and they only had to
complete with other city residents with permit stickers. The program excluded competition with
non-residents.
When the permit parking program came before the City Commission for renewal, no action was
taken and the program was"sunseted."
At the present time, the problem remains unsolved. The housing units were built with the
understanding that there was no private parking. The demand for parking is very high in their
area, and residents must compete for parking near their residences.
Dates and details can be compiled, if requested, relative to the events discussed above.

Mr. Davis recommended that the Commission not pursue a special
census at this time, as it would entail a minimum of six to ten
enumerators to be paid for the by the City, and a 10-year census is
due in 1980. Commissioner Van Ness inquired what the dollar differ-
ence would be in the revenue sharing. Mr. Davis stated that he
would check and report back at the next meeting.
Unfinished Business
A. Public Hearing - PUD - Mr. & Mrs. Dan Siakel and Mrs. Audrey
Parcel - Ocean 10
Mayor Howell explained that a request had been made by Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Siakel to change the apartments at the foot of 10th street and
Beach Avenue into townhouse condominiums to be sold individually.
The chair recognized Mr. and Mrs.Parcel to present the plans. Mr.
Parcel explained that they planned to completely re-design the 10
units zoned for the piece of property, and sell them as townhouses
in fee simple, including a common wall. The Mayor then announced
the request was now open for a Public Hearing and invited the
audience to examine the plans and offer comments from the floor.
As no one spoke for or against, Mayor Howell declared the Public
Hearing closed. The Mayor inquired how many water meters they planned
to install, and Mr. Parcel stated that each unit would have a meter.
The Mayor also reminded Mr. Parcel that 10th Street was a Public
street and could not be reserved for the owners of the townhouses.
A discussion followed on parking spaces recommended by the Planning
Board; refuse containers which will be separate containers to be.
picked up at the corner of 10th and Beach, and the assurance from the
Parcel's that a five foot easement would be deeded to the City at

Memorandum to:
The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
City of Atlantic Beach
Subject: Tenth Street Parking
City Commission Members:
I was able to contact Richard Bonner, Deputy District Engineer, Jacksonville District
Corps of Engineers, concerning the possibility of the Corps conducting a parking survey.
You will recall this concerns the parking problem at Tenth Street. Mr. Bonner told me
the "short answer" to this problem is that if parking places are lost, they need to be
replaced with other parking places. However, he indicated if parking spaces have been
created in the past, they could be exchanged for the parking spaces that were lost. I
mentioned to Mr. Bonner that I would show that an additional 10 parking spaces were
created since 1980, and he indicated this would be acceptable.
As far as the Corps doing a study, Mr. Bonner indicated the Corps may not have money
in their budget at this time to conduct a study, but that he thought the course of action
indicated above would be the right course to take.
Respectfully submitted,

COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM:
SUBMITTED BY: John Campbell, Deputy Chief of Police
DATE: 4/29/03
BACKGROUND:
At the April 10, 2003 Commission Meeting,there were complaints of excessive speed
on 10'' Street between Seminole Road and East Coast Drive. The police department
began a traffic/speed analysis on 10'h Street on 4-18-03 to determine the situation. This
analysis was conducted from 4-18-03 to 4-29-03. During the analysis, 4982 vehicles
were tracked and their speeds monitored. Of the total number of vehicles tracked,not
one vehicle was traveling over 15 Miles Per Hour. This is a 20 Mile Per Hour speed
zone.
BUDGET: No budgetary impact
RECOMMENDATION:
The traffic/speed analysis does not show any excess speeding problem,however,the
police department will monitor this area in the future to insure speeds to no increase as
the Core City Project progresses to completion.

The chair recognized Barbara Florenzi, 262 Poinsetta,who inquired if
r-,%ny action could be taken to correct a steep incline in her driveway as
Wthe bottom of her car scraped each time she went in or out. Mr. Davis
explained that the contractors in that section had two options to maintain
a grade for proper drainage. 1) to maintain the grade with an incline or 2
to place pipe under the driveway and go over with the concrete. Mr. Davis
stated that in her particular case, the concrete should be raised and place
a piece of pipe under the concrete which would stall maintain the drainage
grade. This would be either her expense or the contractor.

tions.
The next item on the agenda was a request from Mr. Richard Hamilton
for sewer and water service to 1609 Beach Avenue, north of the

dividual sewer lines running up to North Atlantic Beach, outside
of our City Limits, and it will create a maze of sewer lines all
over the place. Mayor Howell suggested that the City Manager

missioner Rosborough and carried that Mr. Hamilton be allowed to
get with the City Manager to do whatever the circumstances justify.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
ZONING WORKSHOP
JULY 8, 1982
the duplex went unrented for nine (9) months, it should not revert back to single
family residence. Mr. Moss replied that the zoning in that district has always been
single family. He quiered how it came to be a duplex. Commissioner Johansen remarked
that it was grandfathered in 1959. Mr. Moss remarked that while he had no dispute
with that, the building permit shows a single family home. There was no later building
permit to remodel, nor to remodel as a duplex.. A general discussion ensued regarding
the criteria applied in determining a legal duplex being grandfathered in, and maintaining
that status. Also discussed was the concept of using a duplex in the European manner
by renting a room and providing one meal (breakfast) to a visitor for one night, one
week;whether or not this would constitute a business and require a license. The comm-
ission determined that this use would constitute a business and require a license. This
use would not be allowed in a residential area.
Mr. Lewis asked that the commission resolve his request. Recapping, Mr. Moss was to
obtain Mr. Andresen's thoughts on that particular stretch of land and report back Monday
night. Commissioner Jensen stated that the commission had to look beyond just the ware-
house; the whole shopping center must be considered. Commissioner Johansen thought that
the highest designation the commission would approve would be Commercial General (CG),
determined on the basis of Mr. Moss's report from Mr. Andresen. Mr. Lewis quoted Florida
Jurisprudence Volume 35, which pertains to zoning. Several excerpts from that volume
were read by Mr. Lewis. Particularly "All that one plans to use his property in accord-
ance with existing regulations in entitled to assume is that such regulations will not
alter to his detriment, unless the change bears a substantial relation to health, morals,
0_1 welfare, or safety of the public." Commissioner Johansen remarked that Mr. Lewis hit it
right on the nose; stating that is why that zoning designation was changed because people
that live there complained bout the conditions. Commissioner Jensen stated that regard-
less of any change, Mr. Lewis would still be able to use what is there now. Established
use was then discussed. Mr. Lewis was invited by Commissioner Gulliford to bring this
up Monday night. The distance requirement regarding bars would also be brought up Monday
night. Commissioner Gulliford informed Mr. Lewis that this meeting is strictly a workshop.
The commission is not empowered to act on anything. The matter had to be resolved when
the commission sat, in session, as a commission meeting and not a meeting of the committee
of the whole.
Mr. Moss stated that Sevilla is not shown on our map and suggested that the lines be
drawn in as an RG-3 designation, compatible with the existing use, or as a PUD. Mr, Moss
was not sure if that development came in as a PUD. Commissioner Van Ness stated that it
did come in as a PUD and once it gets that PUD, it keeps that designation. Mr. Moss
replied that premise is applied if the project is under development to retain it's PUD
designation. However,everything else has had the zoning changed, otherwise we'd have
PUD's throughout the city. Commissioner Gulliford remarked that Mr. Bull is still de-
veloping it. The commission clarified that Sevilla would be shown as a PUD. Mr. Moss
stated yes; PUD designation would be shown for Sevilla.
Commissioner Van Ness stated that she would like to discuss that block between 10th & I.lth
Streets, on the east side of Beach Avenue. Presently, it is proposed as an RG-3 zone.
The current usage consists of: The Bikini Apartments (Island Club) and Mr. Johnson, on
the next lot over, has six (6) units in that house with inadequate parking. Other than
that, the situation is duplex all down: the street. Commissioner Gulliford queried Mrs.
Van Ness about down zoning it to RG-2. No, Commissioner Van Ness stated, it should be
cut back down to RG-1. She didn't know how it.got to be RG-3 to begin with, however,
that whole block is not currently being used to conform with an.RG-3. The Mayor stated
that it was his understanding that folks who live in that block want it as RG-3.

Commissioner Van Ness agreed, however, the people that live on the west side of the
street don't like it at all. Commissioner Jensen suggested that the Planning Board
be asked about that also. Commissioner Van Ness suggested that the boundry line be
drawn just north of the Bikini Apartments and Mr, Johnson's place would just have to
be grandfathered in. As far as Commissioner Van Ness was concerned, if he met the
existing code, he has got to meet the existing parking requirements. Commissioner
Jensen interjected if Mr. Johnson's place was legal now. The general feeling was
that Mr. Johnson's place might be in violation now, as far as parking in concerned,
under the RC zoning. A discussion ensued regarding where the boundry line should
be drawn. The commission agreed with Commissioner Van Ness's suggestion. Further
discussion took place on the existing zoning, and the proposed zoning, 'and the events
leading up to this point in so far as alternate proposed zoning designations considered.
Commissioner Gulliford stated thatthecommission would have to vote on every individual
issue anyhow Monday night, and this item could be discussed then.
Commissioner Gulliford indicated another area on the map that should be discussed;
the area west of Mayport Road. Mr. Moss asked if everyone was comfortable with Section
"H", stating that 19 building permit requests have been received attempting to get in
under the wire with the old zoning. Mr. Moss felt that 19 duplexes constitutes a
development. To be consistant with our previous policies, there should be some type
of requirements for this development. Mr. Bull had to go through a 60 day process
with 10 lots. Permits written for Section "H" have absolutely no requirements; none
for sewer/water lines or streets. A general discussion ensued regarding the appropriate
,,. actions needed in that area. Mr. Moss suggested that it be mandatory to hook—up to
city water and sewer and to put in streets. Provisions were discussed to require this
under the existing ordinance. "Acceptable". sewer facilities and streets are included
in the proposed ordinance. Mr. Moss suggested that he tell the builder that the matter
has been taken under advisement, awaiting a legal opinion. Commissioner Van Ness felt
that they would have to trust in the good judgement of the Health Department regarding
septic tanks. Mr. Moss then asked if the commission was. confortable with. the RS-2
designation. The consensus of the commission was yes.
The chair recognized Mr. Kelly Amber of 79 Saratoga Circle South, whose concern was
addressed to seven (7) lots which he owned in Atlantic Beach Villa Unit #2 that fronted
on Mayport Road. (Lots 29 &30, Block 3, and Lots 1, 2, 21 & 22 of Block 4, and Lot 1,
Block 3) Mr. Amber applied for commitments for the Veterans Administration, which were
rejected. The reason for the denial of mortgage commitments was the fact that the lots
were within 150' of Mayport Road. Mr. Amber requested a zoning designation change be
considered by the commission for these properties which would allow professional offices.
He had approached the City Commission approximately eight (8) years ago to request this
same consideration, to which the commission would. not respond unless Mr. Amber could
state specifically what use he desired for his property. Mr. Amber later approached
the commission with the use designated for the tax collector's office. The commission
indicated some resistance to that idea. As the property is presently zoned, the land
is not usable. Without attractive types of financing, such as VA or FHA, the land is
difficult to sell. Commissioner Van Ness questioned Mr.. Amber if he wanted a CL type
of zoning. Mr. Amber replied that would be favorable for Mayport Road. Commissioner
Johansen remarked that Mr. Amber knew the lots to be within 15W of Mayport Road when
he bought them. Mr. Amber was asking the commission to intrude on a residential
neighborhood with a commercial zoning. Commissioner Gulliford reminded the commission
that the intent of Commercial Limited was to provide a buffer zone adjacent to a residue.
ential district. That zoning would merely extend the CL zone which is further south on
Mayport Road presently. Mayor Persons remarked that traffic problems would increase
dramatically should that area be rezoned to commercial. Commissioner Johansen informed

PURPOSE: Review of Proposed Zoning Ordinance
Commissioner Van Ness, acting as the senior member of the Commission, called the
meeting to order at 6:44 PM. Mayor Persons and Commissioner Jensen, Mayor Pro
Tem, arrived late. Commissioner Van Ness requested Commissioner Gullifords' report
on his meeting Saturday with the Saltair residents. Commissioner Gulliford replied
that residents had requested two lots on the northwest side of the north end of
Poinsettia retain the old zoning (i.e. single family - RS-2) , rather than duplex (RG-1)
as proposed under the new zoning. The residents also requested that the twelve (12)
lots between Pine Street and Magnolia Street, proposed as duplex zoning, revert to the
single family zone as they had been zoned. After a general discussion, the motion was
made by Commissioner Gulliford to redraw the duplex zone in the Saltair subdivision to
conform with the old boundry line, thereby reducing the number of duplex lots as pro-
posed, and maintaining the existing conformation of the neighborhood. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Johansen and passed unanimously.
The chair recognized Mrs. Ann Bledsoe, owner of undeveloped property south of Cornell
Lane and east of the Atlantic Garden Apartments. Mrs. Bledsoe requested a zoning change
for her property from the proposed RS-2 (single family) to a higher density zoning such
as RG-2 or 3. Mrs. Bledsoe's request Iwas based on the nature of the developments ad-
jacent to her property: the Atlantic Garden Apartments to the west and commercial develop-
ments to the south. She further cited the impracticality of single family residences
Abutting these types of developments. After a lengthy discussion of the request, and
consideration of the most appropriate zoning designation to assign these properties
(i.e. desirable density), Commissioner Van ;'fess requested a suggestion, in the form of
a motion, to present to the Commission Monday night. The commission felt that Mrs.
Bledsoe's request had merit, therefore, Commissioner Jensen made the motion to change
the zoning designation to RG-2, which Commissioner Gulliford seconded. The motion was
approved unanimously. The borders of this new RG-2 zone are as follows; iaest of the
Aquatic East property; north of the commercial zone which fronts Atlantic Blvd.; east
of the Atlantic Garden Apartments; and south of Cornell Lane/rear lot lines of those
properties on the south side of Saratoga Circle South.

The chair then recognized Mr. Ronald L. Crofton, a developer proposing 130 units
(7.5 units per acre) of patio homes to be .located just north of the Aquatic East
Club. Commissioner Van Bess informed the commission that this property has a pro-
posed zoning designation of RG-2, which is cousistant since Mr. Crofton's parcel abuts
the Canterbury Court Apartments. The Mayor clarified with Mr. Crofton that the proposed
zoning presented no problems. Mr. Crofton assured the Mayor that RG-2 is no problem,
however, if the commission desired a PUD for this development, his staff would be in-
structed to submit a PUD. Commissioner Johansen replied that while he appreciated Mr.
Crofton's attitude, he felt a PUD was more restrictive and afforded the commission more
control since the entire project must be submitted for consideration. Commissioner
Gulliford demurred, remarking that the whole reason for this (zoning) is to eliminate
a certain amount of individual evaluation. If the criteria is met as set forth by the
proposed zoning, an individual can do whatever he wants. Commissioner Gulliford didn't
feel strongly about PUD, stating that the commission probably was trying to get away
from it to some degree. Commissioner Van Ness reiterated that Mr. Crofton's development
would conform with proposed zoning requirements. Mr. Moss confirmed that should Mr.
Crofton not bring his project in as a PUD, commission control would be lost. The
only controls would be density and construction requirements under the building codes.
There would be no control on quality although Mr. Moss felt that the development could
be effectively controlled, administratively, to conform compatibly with the area.
Commissioner Gulliford remarked that Mr. Crofton was kind enough to preview his plans
for the commission, when he could have waited until the proposed zoning passed and
proceeded with his plans under the RG-2 zone. Mr. Crofton shouldn't be singled out
because he came forward with his plans at this particular time. The Mayor responded
that, under the current zoning law (proposed), Mr. Crofton would have to go PUD anyway.
A general discussion took place regarding proposed developments under PUD or RG-2.
Commissioner Jensen remarked that under the old zoning, three or more units must apply
for a PUD, with no restrictions of the existing zone. He suggested that the commission
may want to add this to the proposed zoning ordinance. Commissioner Van Ness clarified
the land area requirement .under the proposed zoning ordinance was two (2) acres. Mr.
Moss stated that Mr. Crofton would be subdividing the land, therefore the commission
would have control over any subdivision. A lengthly discussion ensued regarding the
density and lot area requirements under the proposed zoning (RG-2), the intent to avoid
future PUD's on smaller lots, Mr. Croftons' proposed tennis courts and parks and comm-
ission control to ensure compliance for these items, streets and ingress/egress patterns.
Commissioner Gulliford remarked that rather than belabor this matter all night, he
suggested that this discussion had brought up a general point as to whether or not the
commission wants to have the right to refuse, through a PUD and its' requirements, tracts
like this in the future with respect to this type zoning. This would have to be de-
termined Monday night (July 12, 1982) and researched as to what zoning determination
would affect that specific project. The commission noted this subject for further
discussion Monday night.
The chair then recognized Mr. Fred Lewis, whose main concern was that commercial property
east of Mayport Road and just north of Plaza Drive, known as the M & L Shopping Center.
Mr. Lewis felt that the proposed zoning (CL) was inappropriate and incompatible for the
current usage. The past zoning (BB) allowed any business, except junk yards, and the
proposed zoning limits that usage. Commissioner Van Ness stressed that that particular
area (shopping center) abuts a residential area which did not lend itself to a "bar"
type situation. Commissioner Gulliford remarked that the same situation occurs of
Atlantic Blvd. & Royal Palms Drive, abutting an RS-1 district to the north. Commissioner
Van Ness remarked that is not precisely correct, clarifing the property off Cavalla Road
is zoned RG-2, which acts as a buffer zone. Commissioner Gulliford felt that the RG-2
zoning was in response to existing. development. Commissioner Van Ness remarked that the
Page 3

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

board had tried to avoid that. Mr. Lewis interjected that the previous zoning would
be compatible with Commercial Intensive (CI). Under the present proposed zoning, Mr.
Lewis would not be allowed to continue the use of his warehouses should he lose a tenant.
A license would not be issued for a new tenant. Commissioner Johansen replied that the
use of the building is grandfathered. Mr. Lewis contradicted Commissioner Johansen,
stating that the business use is grandfathered. Mr. Moss clarified that should Mr. Lewis
have a tenant. . .say a barber shop.. .and that tenant leaves and another tenant wants to
have an auto repair. . .that would not be allowed under that zoning. Mr. Moss remarked that
he would have to research whether or not this would be a discrepancy. Commissioner
Jensen remarked that Commercial Limited wouldn't prevent the use of the building, rather
it would have to be a use allowed under the existing (proposed) ordinance. The Mayor
confirmed that Mr. Lewis may not be able to put the same type of tenant back. Mr. Lewis
insisted that this would restrict him on tenants since it would be hard to find an
attorney who wanted an office in a warehouse. Commissioner Gulliford stated that the
intent of Commercial Limited was low intensity commercial uses and business and profess-
ional offices which are suitable within close proximity to residential districts.
Mr. Lewis maintained that the property on Mayport Road is not suitable for those uses
as specified in Commercial Limited, such as art galleries, medical or. dental offices,
professional offices. Mr. Moss remarked that the purpose of this zoning is also to
project Atlantic Beach twenty (20) years down the road. A lengthly discussion took
place regarding the grandfathering of a bar that' had gone out of business and another
bar wanting to come in the same place; the uses allowed under CL & CG; those uses that
would be grandfathered in; the circumstances under which grandfathering status could
be retained. Commissioner Van Ness remarked that another important factor to consider
regarding CL, as opposed to CG, is that CL would not have that same usage for on and off
traffic on Mayport Road as would occur under CL. Commissioner Johansen remarked that he
didn't want to intensify the usage, however, he didn't see how the use allowed could be
lowered. Commissioner Van. Ness remarked that the CG zoning on the west side of Mayport
Road was retained due to the stop light at Plaza Drive, whch. allows ingress and egress
for the entire CG zone. Commissioner Johansen felt that retaining the CL zoning would
be penalizing that particular area. Mr. Moss remarked that although. he wasn't part of
the conversation to determine a zone designation for that area, he felt that, in his
experience, it was the rationale to an existing situation which has, been totally dia
ruptive to the neighborhood: To the person, we hear every week., complaints regarding
that area, and that the Advisory Planning Board probably felt that the use as it now
exists is not only not compatible, but the present owners.have not even attempted to
make it compatible. Commissioner Gulliford felt that John Andresen"s opinion on the
board's reasoning should be gotten and a report given to the commission Monday night.
Mr. Moss stated he would report back Mr. Andresen''s opinion.
Commissioner Johansen had two (2) questions which he would like answered., 1) Mr. Bull
made the remark that there were no provisions whatsoever for a repeal of any decision of
the Administrative Official, Mr. Moss. Commissioner Jensen responded by referring
Commissioner Johansen to Page 1-1, Paragraph B which states "The City Commission has the
authority to hear appeals on any decisions...'•'. Commiss.-ioner Johansen was satisfied
with that and proceeded to his second question. 2) 1160 Beach Avenue, Candy & Jean
Nordhann. They maintain their duplex is grandfathered in, even though- it has not been
used as a duplex. Commissioner Johansen asked for clarification from Commissioner
Jensen regarding a grandfathered in use which has not been in use as. .specified; that the
grandfather clause would no longer apply. Commissioner Jensen felt that would not be
correct. Mr. Moss remarked that the existing ordinance says that, however, the proposed
ordinance says that if it is not used for a .period of six (6) months, then it would revert
back to the current zoning for that district.. Commissioner Johansen reiterated that the
grandfather clause would not apply. Commissioner Jensen felt that if the rental part of

Mr. Amber that he does have the right to request rezoning formally after this
zoning ordinance passes. Since no decision could be made tonight, Commissioner
Johansen felt that would be more advisable. Commissioner Van Ness pointed out that
it is a lot easier to change something now than to come back later. Mr. Amber felt
that the concern for traffic was not valid when Third Street through Neptune Beach
and Jacksonville Beach managed very well with commercial properties fronting on Third
Street. Mr. Amber reiterated his concern and request to be able to use his property
to some advantage. Mr. Moss suggested to Mr. Amber that if a use could be found that
he (Mr. Amber) felt would be acceptable to the surrounding residents and to the city
commission, then a formal request for rezoning should be submitted. The consensus
of the city commission agreed with this suggestion.
Commissioner Gulliford questions a remark which Mr. Bull made concerning Mr. Moss's
dictatorial powers on Page 3-1, which says the "Administrative Official appointed by
the City Commission shall have the following powers and responsibilities. ..". The
Commissioner pointed out that Mr. Bull assumes that the City Manager is in fact the
Administrative Official. That Administrative Official could be anyone that the City
Commission chose to appoint. In fact, we could appoint the Building Inspector as the
Administrative Official. Commissioner Van Ness stated yes. A building official, per se,
that would cover the whole department. Commissioner Gulliford stated that that indiv-
idual could accomplish all the administrative actions required by this code. Mrs. Kerber
interjected that "he (the building official) could hire "x" number of -people to help
him administer it" so we would in fact have another layer of bureaucracy in our little
city hall. Commissioner Gulliford stated that the way the code is written, it does not
automatically assume that the City Manager is, in fact, the Administrative Official.
Mr. Bull, in his attack, made that assumption. Mayor Persons felt that the whole code
is very technical as far as how things are done; who has. what power.. Mr. Moss remarked
that, in terms of practicality, you have one City Manager, and a couple of secretaries.
He did not know where the bureaucracy could be. The Mayor remarked that the bureaucracy
is that within the code, not necessarily Mr. Moss. The Mayor projected five years from
now, we have another city manager who goes by the letter of the code. Then we'd have
a problem. Mr. Moss remarked that presently we have a subdivision coming of more than
100 units. A subdivision doesn't get reviewed in one day. The potential is there for
doubling the city in a relatively short time. The control of the bureaucracy in the
budget process, Mr. Moss asserted. The Mayor felt that there was a distinct similarity
between this code and the code of Federal Regulations. The alternative the Mayor felt
would be to simplify the code. Also, the thirty-three (33) pages of definitions could
possible be a future source for conflict, and possibly litigation. Commissioner Van Ness
remarked that without the definitions, we'd be flying by the seat of our pants. Mrs.
Kerber questioned what was wrong with the old code, Mr. Moss replied that the old code
didn't require anything. Commissioner Gulliford felt that it was important to have
something definitive. He trusted the political system, and trusted that system to monitor
the growth of this city. However, the Commissioner felt that a group of people in this
city on the commission acted totally and completely irresponsible in allowing Selva
Marina streets and the fact that they are not suitable for the city to accept dedication
of those streets. This will cause severe problems in the future for this city. The
Mayor indicated some concern regarding the variances allowable under this code.
Commissioner Gulliford disagreed with that, in that the way the code is written, it is
extremely tight and very limited. Also the definition of variance on Page 2.24.
Mr. Moss remarked that the Board of Adjustments is provided for by State Statues and
seems to be compatible with those Statues.

A general discussion ensued regarding past public hearing that both the Advisory
Planning Board and the City Commission had held. Reference was made to Jiffy Mart
selling beer illegally. A lengthly discussion took place regarding the ordinance
proposed to allow the sale of beer& wine. Sewer rates were discussed and the impact
on all citizens in Atlantic. Impact fees were not assessed before 1977.
It was determined that the height of 35' would be applicable to Commercial and Industrial
districts also.
The definition of alteration was questioned. Commissioner Gulliford stated that
this sould be more definitive. ".Aa alteration" should be changed to "Any substantial
alteration" or "Any material alteration". Mr. Moss remarked. that the guide is actually
the building code since that is more definitive. No change was determined.
Mr. Moss suggested that the committee might want to take a ride out to the Community
Block Grant area and review the accomplishments of the grant. The Capital Improvements
are finished, however, the remodeling is not finished yet.
There being no further business to discuss, the Mayor adjourned the meeting at 10:06 PM.

Duval County School Board Re: Water & Sewer for New Junior High _
Mayor Howell stated that the Duval County School Board is investi-
gating the possibility of connecting to the City of Atlantic Beach
water and sewer treatment plants when the new Junior High School
is built. The Junior High School will be located outside the city
limits. Mr. Vogel stated that he had talked with Mr. Parks, City
Engineer, and he will have plans finalized for the commission at
the next meeting. Mayor Howe11 stated that several weeks ago the
city passed a resolution requesting the City of Neptune Beach and
the City of Jacksonville Beach to join with the City of Atlantic
Beach, the "lead" city, in making an application to the Environmental
,-, Protection Agency for a grant in order to come up with the pre-
liminary study on what the cities are doing with their effluence.

This study will enable the city to be in a position to expand the
sewer plant. So far, neither Neptune Beach or Jacksonville Beach
have responded. under tha present EPA requirements, where we
have to act as a district or a single entity, the city is totally
stymied. The results could be that a Junior High School will not
be built. The City of Atlantic Beach will be able to handle the
water service to the new Junior High School, but the sewage is out
of the question. The city has done everything that can be done
to attempt to solve this problem. The other beaches are not co-
operating. Mr. Vogel stated that the city should reply to the
School Board's letter and tell them exactly what the commission have
discussed tonight. Commissioner Rosborough stated that the City
Manager should inquire about the other beaches lack of response to
the city's proposal. He suggested that the City of Atlantic Beach
go ahead and have engineering reports submitted. Mr. Vogel stated
that he would contact the Department of Pollution Control and ask
them if the city can go ahead and engage a planner. Seventy-five
percent of the cost will be rebated back to the city by the Federal
Government.
Mr. Hilliard wanted clarification on whether or not the city is
obligated to furnish water to property owners outside the city
limits if the ownership changed hands. Mayor Howell stated that
request for water service outside the city limits is not assignable.
A statute of limitation, i.e. a reasonable length of time, is im-
posed on letters written by the City Manager.
Lot 147 Saltair Section 2 Appraisal
Mr. Ball, City Attorney, stated that Lot 147 Saltair is located
next to the tennis courts on Seminole Road. The owner of this lot
is now completely surrounded by city property. He stated that two
or three months ago he received a letter from Harry Mahon, attorney,
concerning this lot, Mr. Ball called the attorney and told him
that the city would be interested in buying Lot 147. Mr. Mahon
employed an appraiser for the property. The appraiser stated that
the property has a fair market value of $4000.00. The owner also
insist that the City of Atlantic Beach pay the cost of the apprai-
sal. Mr. Ball stated that the owner does have the ability to go
into court and file an inverse condemnation suit. The city does
have knowledge that the citizens are using this lot to park while
playing tennis. Mr. Ball recommended that a committee be formed
to study this problem and recommend a fair market value: recognizing
that it would cost a few hundred dollars more if the owher does
go to court.

Health and Accident Insurance, Call for Bids
Mr. Vogel stated that at the last meeting he had given the city
commission new specifications for the health and accident insurance.
With no objections from the commission, Mr. Vogel will call for
bids on those specifications. Commissioner Rosborough stated that
there were some questions he had regarding the specifications. He
stated that with the present specifications the city is going to be
in the same position as with the first bid. The first bid was
confusing because of the lack of being explicit. On the luny sum
benefits, the specification should read "lump sum benefits - $8000.00
to age 65 and at age 65 drop to $4000.00. Mayor Howell stated that
what the city,;is trying to do is get an initial low bidder and then
the other litems can be negotiated= i.e., benefits, Major Medical and
deductibles. Commissioner Fogg stated that the specifications
should state that a semi private room be based on the prevailing
rates at the time of entry into the hospital. After lenghtly dis-
cussion, it was moved by Commissioner Fogg, seconded by Commissioner
Minton and carried to instruct the City Manager to call for bids
on the health and accident insurance and that the specifications
should read "life insurance will be $8000.00 up to age 65 and then

The chair recognized Barbara Fiorenzi, 262 Poznsetta,who inquired if
r"''zny action could be taken to correct a steep incline in her driveway as
the bottom of her car scraped each time she went in or out. Mr. Davis
explained that the contractors in that section had two options to maintain
a grade for proper drainage. 1) to maintain the grade with an incline or 2
to place pipe under the driveway and go over with the concrete. Mr. Davis
stated that in her particular case, the concrete should be raised and plat
a piece of pipe under the concrete which would still maintain the drainage
grade. This would be either her expense or the contractor.
Mrs. Koenig, 739 Redfin Drive asked if the Commission would submit a request

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
The Department of Public Works finds itself in need of additional water
meters to continue to meet the demand of new housing in Atlantic Beach.
I once again have been able to purchase water meters from Rockwell Inter-
national under Jacksonville laid No. S-0573-79 at less than $30.00 a piece.
Prior to this, the City of Atlantic Beach was paying substantially more for
the same meter. Please authorize me to purchase 50 3/4" meters for stock
at the purchase price of $1,487.50.
The City's engineer, Mr. Parks, has advised me that some time ago he was
instructed to give consideration to increasing the capacity of drainage where
the lagoon system crosses under Seminole Road, The Plaza E Ilth Street.
Mr. Parks is requesting permission to proceed with this endeavor at this time.
(See letter attached)
r� Several weeks ago, you authorized me to check with the University of Florida
Division of Population Studies for the purpose of determining a correct
census for Atlantic Beach. I have done this and have been advised that due
to an error in the 1970 base data for Atlantic Beach a special census is
the only course of action that can be fnllowed. Since this would entail a
minimum of six to ten enumerators to be paid for by the City, and since a
10-year census is due in 1980, 1 recommend that we do not pursue this special
census.
The price of gasoline continues to rise. The latest quote is .58300 per gallon
for regular gasoline and .66300 per gallon for lead-free.
