Re: Compliance with Terms of Use -by- Exception
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Witt:
At the September meeting of the Community Development Board, several members expressed
concerns related to the number of vehicles, which appear to be continuously parked on the
property in association with your business. As you recall, the Community Development Board's
recommendation, and the final approval granted by the City Commission, expressly limited the
number vehicles allowed to be parked on the on the site (associated with your business) to a
total of three customer vehicles and one business -owned vehicle. I have enclosed a copy of the
approval provided to you by the City Clerk.
Please be advised that all conditions related to approval of the Use -by- Exception must be fully
complied with in order for the Use -by- Exception to remain valid. Failure to comply with these
conditions may result in immediate revocation of the Use -by- Exception.
Sincerely,
Sonya B. Doerr, AICP

monitored. Mr. Russell indicated that he was negotiating with the Tree
Board concerning the buffer and other plantings.
Amendment to the motion: Limit the hours of operation
on the weekend to 6:00 am until 12:00 noon on Saturdays.
There was no further discussion and the amendment to the motion and
motion carried unanimously.
C. Public Hearing and action on a request for a use -by- exception

Motion: Accept the recommendation of the Community

Mayor Meserve opened the public hearing.
Brenna Durden, representing the Witts, owners of Beach Buggies and 4 x

Discussion of nighttime deliveries ensued. Commissioner Borno felt that
this would be covered if the conditions placed on the property by the
Community Development Board were included in the motion.

The amendment to the motion and motion carried unanimously.
D. Request from Selva Norte Homeowners Association for
city water on four medians
City Manager Hanson explained that the Selva Norte Homeowners
Association had requested the city waive or reduce the cost of
installing a water meter to provide irrigation for four medians located
on 20 Street, Selva Marina Drive and Mipaula Court.
It was reported that previously the Homeowners Association had
requested support for the beautification of the medians under the
city's Public Beach Access Beautification Program, but were turned
down by the Beautification Committee since the medians were not
beach access points.
City Manager Hanson pointed out that in recent years the only
projects approved for use of city water for irrigation were beach
accesses, but in the prior years various projects were approved for
irrigation, which were not beach accesses. A list of those projects is
included with the Staff Report dated April 25, 2002, which is attached
and made part of the official record as Attachment C.
City Manager Hanson further explained that the St. Johns River
Water Management District (SJRWMD) had advised the city to
increase its conservation measures and discourage the use of city
water for irrigation in the future.
City Manager Hanson recommended that the city prohibit the use of
city water for future median or beach access projects if other
resources were available. He then provided options for consideration
with this request, and suggested that if in the future, the Commission
wanted the city to be involved in median landscaping projects,
consideration should be given to rewriting the current Beach Access
Beautification Program guidelines to include options for those types
of landscaping projects.
Discussion of the request ensued. Commissioner Parsons stated he
would like to move forward with the project and indicated that the
neighbors would allow connection to their existing well -fed irrigation
system. He felt the city should provide monetary support for the
project in the form of a reimbursement grant.
