Call to Order/Pledge:
Mayor Woods called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Commissioner Beckenbach gave the Invocation,
followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Item 2 was taken out of sequence and acted on at this time.

Gulliford, Aleizha Batson, Loree French, and Cleveland Ferguson from City of Jacksonville.
2. Courtesy of Floor to Visitors
A. Signing of Release of Settlement Agreement between the City of Jacksonville and the City of
Atlantic Beach with City of Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown.
Mayor Woods explained the people from Jacksonville were here tonight for us to have a formal signing of
our Interlocal Agreement settling our tipping fee disagreement we have been working on for a few years. She
stated everyone here has been instrumental in getting this topic through. She stated our City Manager,
Nelson Van Liere, and our City Attorney, Rich Kornando, have also been very helpful and instrumental. She
turned the meeting over to Mayor Alvin Brown who addressed the Commission. He stated they are pleased
to sign an agreement tonight between our two cities on the issue of tipping fees for solid waste disposal at
Trail Ridge Landfill. He stated these fees have been a point of contention since 2011 when Jacksonville
decided they would no longer use property taxes to fund the land fill operation. He stated instead
Jacksonville residents now pay a uniform solid waste collection fee to cover these costs. He stated, according
to the terms of the 1995 Interlocal Agreement between our two cities, Atlantic Beach agreed that it would pay
for disposable charges at the landfill for its solid waste if Jacksonville converted into a uniform solid waste
fee. He stated, unfmiunately, there have been differences of opinion about how to interpret this requirement
but we have now resolved this difference with a settlement that satisfied both sides and addressed both past
and future payments. He stated for tipping fees owed from October 1, 2011 to May 31, 2014, Atlantic Beach
will pay a total of $322,000. He stated stmiing June 1, 2014 and going forward Atlantic Beach agrees to pay
the standard tipping fee for their residential and commercial haulers that use Jacksonville's Trail Ridge
Landfill. He stated this settlement will not raise any taxes or fees for Jacksonville residents and it is his
understanding that it will not result in any increased taxes or fees for Atlantic Beach residents. He stated they
have achieved this settlement in the spirit of patinership. He stated this agreement now brings clarity,
cetiainty and closure to the issue. Mayor Brown and Mayor Woods signed the agreement. Mayor Brown
also welcomed Karen Bowling who was in the audience.
Mayor Woods opened the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. She welcomed the audience and explained the
process for public comments.

Councilmember Bill Gulliford recognized Nelson VanLiere, stating he did a great job on this and should be
complimented and stated Karen Bowling also did an incredible job.
Theresa Flores, 233 Belvedere St., addressed the Seminole Road project suggesting they only rip up the
sidewalk, replace the pipes, and put in the curbs like those used at Beach Ave. She also stated a wheelchair
cannot get over a 4" crosswalk. Mayor Woods assured her that everything the City does is ADA compliant.
Bob Liggero, 389 12th Street, with Atlantic Beach Canopy Group, stated he wanted to pledge his supp01i for
what they are doing in trying to protect the canopy. He asked that the City take into account their
recommendations.
Jeff Montanye, 334 11th Street, addressed the tree canopy stating they need to have the protected trees
treated uniformly no matter where they are or the relationship they have with construction projects and they
need to make the mitigation fees much tougher. He also asked that they consider expanding the membership
of the Community Development Board.
Mike Whalen, 1420 Mayport Rd., stated the tree ordinance is not strong enough. He also stated the
Mayport Corridor small businesses would like to see more landscaping put in. He believes they should hire
an arborist at least part-time when they get this going.
Sarge, 1249 Mayport Rd./685 Amberjack Lane, believes they could have more beautification along
Mayp01i Road, but he believes the future of that area looks good. He stated the parks look good and hopes
they continue to finance the parks and make them look good going into the future. He stated he is concerned
about diversity in City leadership and within the next 5 years he will be coming back making a presence in
the neighborhood to try to do something about the diversity in the area.
Chris Jorgensen, 92 W. 3rd St., has attended the Community Development Board meetings and stated he
has been told that there are limitations that Commissioners and others can make in conversation. He stated at
the last meeting when he questioned whether Commissioner Mark could speak, Mayor Woods stated he was
questioning her motivation, which he wasn't at all. He stated he was questioning whether it was an ethics
violation. He also stated he is opposed to the tree ordinance and is concerned that the City is gaining more
rights and control over private property through a tree ordinance. He stated it is nice to see his street is being
repaved.
Lavenia Harvey-Kubiak, 275 5th Street, stated she is a tree hugger and we have to maintain and be able to
continue to be a desired and beautiful community. She stated as a citizen she is counting on the Commission
to represent the private property owner in their favor; we don't need to lose another tree. She asked that they
make it really tough to cut a tree down.
Stephen Fouraker, 387 6th St., stated propetiy values are dependent on the trees. It is time to tighten the tree
ordinance up again to preserve our trees. He stated he would like to have a Tree Board.
Donna Zimmerman, 1736 Ocean Grove Dr., stated she is in supp01i of a stronger tree ordinance. She
related a personal experience with trees being cut down near her home.
John November, 647 Beach Avenue, asked the members of Atlantic Beach Canopy to stand up and be
recognized. He invited everyone to their meetings, stating they are held the first Tuesday in the month. He
stated the Community Development Board did a great job making the recommendations to allow the

Commission to move forward with the tree ordinance quickly. He gave several suggestions for the tree
ordinance from the Atlantic Beach Canopy group.

will come 100% from the General Fund. He stated $131,000 of the increase is due to change of assumptions
being lowered from 8% to 7%. Discussion ensued. Mr. Van Liere answered questions from the Commission.
C. Actuarial Valuation Report for General Employees' Retirement System.
City Manager Van Liere summarized the General Employees' repoti, stating the City will have to fund
$1,112,000, an increase of $248,000. He stated the employee contributions are going down by $20,000
because they closed they plan, so every time somebody leaves the City their replacement is not contributing
into this plan. He explained the percentage of covered payroll is going to go up as there is less employees'
payroll going into the calculation and the contribution from employees will go down, making the City have to
pay more in the shmi term for that reason. Mr. Van Liere answered questions from the Commission.

AGENDA ITEM #lA
MARCH 23, 2015
Page 6
Mr. Layton summarized his staff report, explaining the bids came in over bid. He stated, therefore, he is
proposing they build the kayak launch at the north end of Dutton Island, extend 6111 Street out as proposed and
delete the boardwalk and overlook off of Dutton Island Road at the bridge which will bring the cost down to
$303,000; the budget is $300,000. He stated he had a line item for some parking at Howell Park that is not
urgent so they would like to use $3,000 out of that to fund the last $3,000, which will give them $7,000
contingency for the project. Mayor Woods pointed out that she commented to Mr. Flores that everything the
City does is ADA compliant and asked if Mr. Layton could back her up on that. Mr. Layton stated yes.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Layton answered questions from the Commission.
It was the consensus of the Commission to move this item forward for action on the next agenda.
B. Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement between the City of Atlantic Beach and the City of
Jacksonville.
City Attorney Komando explained this is the proposed Interlocal Services Boundary Agreement for the
Atlantic Beach Country Club area which incorporates the cunent agreements we have and is a pathway to

this on their agenda as well. Discussion ensued. Mr. Komando answered questions from the Commission.
Mr. Komando explained the process going forward. Further discussion ensued.
It was the consensus of the Commission to move this item forward for action on the next agenda.
C. Tree Code Revisions.
Building and Development Director Jeremy Hubsch gave a slide presentation (which is attached and made
pmi of this Official Record as Attachment A) on the Atlantic Beach Tree Code including the Community
Development Board recommendations. Mr. Hubsch answered questions from the Commission. Discussion
ensued. It was the consensus of the Commission to go with the Community Development Board's
Recommendations #1; #2; and #3, but rather than $175, have staff come up with market value and staff to
adjust every 2 years; and the Incomplete Recommendation # 1, but use ratio 1 :2 to 1: 1 for live oaks and
coastal oaks only. Mr. Hubsch stated they will discuss this more at the Community Development Board's
meeting on Tuesday and, due to noticing guidelines, he will not bring the Ordinance back until the meeting
on April 13 but they can discuss the issue fmiher at the next meeting. Fmiher discussion ensued.

• Explained the reason she wanted to speak at the Community Development Board meeting was to

Community Development Board know that this is a priority of the Commission and they would
welcome their recommendations.
Commissioner Hill
• Reported on the Board Member Review Committee's actions in selecting members to the Community
Development Board and asked to add 2 seats to the Community Development Board. Mr. Komando
stated that would have to be done by ordinance. It was the consensus of the Commission to have the
City Attorney draft an ordinance.
• Thanked the Atlantic Beach Canopy group for their effmis.
• Stated for the record, going this far into a propetiy owner's rights isn't something he takes lightly and
believes it is a really big step for a government to be delving into somebody's yard and landscaping
choices, etc., but he believes it is a critical element to this city. He stated when you have the situation
we have in Atlantic Beach where people's choices are affecting their neighbor's quality of life, we
have to step in.

Analysis
AGENDA ITEM #lA
MARCH 23, 2015
• When reviewing the results of recent tree
removals, it is apparent that the code allows a
net loss of trees without requiring additional
plantings or payment into tree fund
• This is due to trees under 20'' not being
considered "protected" in the interior of lots;
allowing preservation credit of existing trees; and
requiring mitigation of protected trees at a rate of 1
inch for every 2 inches removed
CDB Recommendation #1
Require a tree removal permit for the removal
of any tree within 24 months of construction
with a value over $10,000 and that the
removal of all trees in excess of 6 inches in
diameter require an on demand tree removal
permit.
CDB Recommendation #1
• Staff initially recommended to the CDB that the
code be changed to require a tree removal permit
any time a tree is removed in Atlantic Beach
• The current code has an exemption that states
that a permit is not needed unless there is
construction on site either 6 months before or
after tree removal.
• This allows property owners to remove their own
trees at their discretion without mitigation,
unless they are doing construction
CDB Recommendation #1
• At the CDB meeting it was suggested that a
property owner may plant a tree on their
property and seek to remove it a few years later
• If a permit was needed any time a tree is
removed, the property owner would then be
forced to mitigate for a tree that they planted
themselves.
CDB Recommendation #1
• Staff would like to recommend that the
Commission consider the following option
• 1. Follow the COB's recommendation
• 2. Add a provision that requires a tree permit
when removing an oak (and other special
species like Magnolia) over a certain size {20
inches)
CDB Recommendation #2
Eliminate the interior/exterior zone aspect of
the code and have all trees 6 inches or more in
diameter be defined as private regulated
trees.
I nterior/Exter ior Zo ne
•Removal of protected trees
requires mitigation in the form of
replacement, relocation,
preservation, or payment into the
tree fund.
•Mitigation must be provided at a
ratio of 1:2 on private residential
property. This means that 1 inch
must be preserved, replaced ,
relocated, or paid into the tree
fund for every 2 inches removed.
•Mitigation credit is not given for
the preservation of protected
trees, as they are expected to
remam.
•The current mitigation ratio of
1 :2 enables a net reduction of
trees to occur

CDB Recommendation #2
• In reviewing the code, this provision which says
that trees in the buildable area under 20 inches
are not protected, contributes significantly to the
overall net loss of tree canopy.
• It means a property owner can remove an 18 inch
tree and not have to provide any mitigation.
• It also means a property owner can get
preservation credit of trees they maintain that
are under 20 inches
CDB Recommendation #2
• Staff and the Community Development Board
recommend doing away with the
interior/exterior zone provision, and define
protected trees as all trees above 6 inches
• This also has an affect on tree preservation.
Currently, non-protected trees are given
preservation credit. By making all trees above 6
inches, property owners will get less
preservation credit.
• This will lead to property owners having to do
additional plantings, or pay into the tree fund
CDB Recommendation #3
Make the mitigation rate payable to the tree
fund $175.00 per caliper inch.
The city has historically charged the same
mitigation rate as the City of Jacksonville ($49 an
inch). Jacksonville recently increased this to
$113 to more accurately reflect market
conditions. The Community Development Board
has recommending making an even higher
mitigation number. Their thought behind this is that
it will force property owners do more plantings, as
opposed to paying into the Tree Fund.
CDB Incomplete Recommendation #1
• Mitigation be increased on oaks from 1:2 to
1:1.
• Staff is also recommending that a certain
percentage of mitigation be provided on site
in the form of replacement oaks (25%).
CDB Incomplete Recommendation #1
• Many people believe Atlantic Beach's oak tree
canopy is one of most special aspects of the
community
• Many residents believe that oaks are a
community treasure.
• Staff is recommending increasing the
mitigation to 1:1 for removal of oaks. City of
Jacksonville has a 1:1 ratio for oak trees.
CDB Incomplete Recommendation #1
• The Community Development Board was
generally supportive of increasing mitigation
to 1:1 for oaks.
• The Community Development Board wanted
to have further discussion on whether to limit
this to just Live_ Oaks and Coastal Oaks, or to
also include Laurel and Water Oaks. Their
thinking was that Laurel and Water Oaks have
shorter life spans and are more disease prone.
CDB Incomplete Recommendation #1
• Staff is also recommending a provision that
requires a certain amount of inches of oaks be
replaced on site when one is removed.
• This would prevent someone from removing
an oak and then paying the entire amount into
the tree fund
• There are some areas of the city, where there
is not enough right of way to plant oaks. This
provision, would somewhat ensure that there are
not gaps in the tree canopy.
CDB Incomplete Recommendation #2
Give replacement credit for palms when
replacing other removed species.
The code currently only gives replacement credit
for palms when replacing removed palms. Staff
is recommending this be changed to allow palms
to get replacement credit. It is important to note
that the code states that only oaks can replace
removed oaks. This means palms can not be
used to replace oaks.
CDB Incomplete Recommendation #2
• If the definition of protected trees is changed,
it will require a significant amount of new
plantings on site. Allowing palms to be used as
replacement trees, will give property owners
more flexibility to fit trees on site.
• It is important to note that palms do not
provide as much shade and tree canopy as other
• spec1es.
• The COB was supportive of this, but wanted to
limit it to certain palm species (such as Cabbage
Palms)
• The Cabbage Palm is the state tree

months does that give enough time to set up a special election. Mr. Komando clarified that she is asking
if it had to go to a special election, how much time does that process take. City Clerk Bmile stated she
does not know. Further discussion ensued.

AGENDA ITEM: Marsh Preserve Improvements Phase I
SUBMITTED BY: Douglas E. Layton, PE, PWLF
Public Works Director
DATE: February 20, 2015
AGENDA ITEM # 3A
MARCH 23, 2015
BACKGROUND: 5 bids for this project were received on 1/20/15. The bids were
received in three parts. The parts are:
1) A handicapped Kayak launch at the north edge of Dutton Island
2) An overlook adjacent to the bridge on Dutton Island Road
3) An overlook at the end of 6th Street
Bids received ranged from $420,735 to $696,508 for all three parts
excluding contingency. The low bidder on each part was Harbor Marine.
As all bids received were over the budget, discussions with FIND and the
low bidder were held. Deleting the Dutton overlook, reducing the length of
the 6th Street pier, changing 3 pervious parking spaces to rock, reducing
the concrete sidewalk length at the bid unit prices resulted in an adjusted
construction amount of $274,337.
The design and bidding documents required that the City provide an ADA
compliant floating Kayak launch platform. This launch costs $29,505.
Total project construction cost is $274,337 + $29,505 = $303,842
BUDGET: $300,000 total w/ 50% ($150,000) from a FIND grant
$ 10,000 Howell Park parking improvement budget
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the award of the subject construction contract to
Harbor Marine in the adjusted amount of $274,337.
and
Approve direct City purchase of the corresponding AccuDock floating
Kayak launch in the amount of $29,505.
and
AGENIJA ITEM #3A
MARCil 23,2015

construction of this project
and
Authorize the City Manager to execute the construction contract, and
other documents to construct this project as budgeted hereby subject to
concurrence of funding by FIND.

4. Make recommendations on filling four vacancies on the Community Development
Board.
Motion: The four appointments will be determined by the highest points, with each voting
member ranking their top ten candidates from 1-10 with first choice being 10, second choice 9,
etc.
Moved by Brotman, Seconded by Johnson
The motion passed unanimously
The Committee discussed whether it is appropriate for Brea Paul to vote when considering herself.
Mr. Brotman suggested taking a vote to address her reappointment and not include her in with the rest
to be ranked.
Amended Motion: Reappoint Brea Paul to the Community Development Board to serve an
additional term and change the four appointments being determined by the ranking system to
three.
Moved by Brotman, Seconded by Johnson
The motion passed unanimously (Ms. Paul did not vote)
The voting members ranked their top ten candidates for the three remaining vacancies. The
Committee discussed whether Ms. Paul's ranking should count, so they decided to have City Clerk
Bartle tally the rankings to include Ms. Paul's and a second tally to exclude it. Mrs. Bartle reported
there was a three way tie when Ms. Paul's rankings were excluded, so until the tie could be broken, a
comparison could not be made.
Motion: Take an alternate vote to break a three-way tie in order to determine whether the
outcome, with or without Ms. Paul's vote, would be the same.
Moved by Brotman, Seconded by Johnson
The motion passed unanimously
The results from both tallies were the same. The top three candidates, Don Ford, Kelly Elmore
and Sylvia Simmons were to be the Committee's recommendation.

To whom it may Concern,
My name is James Nanakornpanom and I have had the privilege to work and play soccer with Jay Wilson for
several years.
We met for the first time playing for the Arizona Heat semi-professional indoor soccer team, which
flourished into a great friendship in which I learned how loyal a friend and teammate he is. As all athletes
experience the ups and downs of playing any sport at a high level we all need a supportive teammate, just as
in life, a good friend is like finding a diamond in the ruff, and that is how I describe Jay Wilson's character
and loyalty to anything he becomes a part of in work or leisure.
l also had the chance to work with Jay in a cold call, door to door sales job in Phoenix, Arizona.
What you have to think about is what separates great salesman from barely getting by salesman, extraordinary
from ordinary salesman. Not all people have it, but Jay docs: The ability to conn~t and impire people on a
different/eve/, this includes but not limited to: great charisma. great communication. making people laugh.
and being sincere. These qualities are what I saw instilled in everything that makes Jay who he is, coupled
with his southern drawl, character, and loyalty was an example for me everyday as we entered the cold office
every morning at 6am to get ready for the sales day.
Another important trait that I noticed and learned from Jay is what all sales people need:
Determination, the ability to not be let down by a NO, because as all people on both sides as getting a sale
pitched to them or selling a pitch to a customer, NO is the answer that always comes first Jay's determination
combined with his ability to connect with people made him a sales leader just a week after we started, a
manager just short after. It was a special thing watch Jay talk to customers and motivate us every morning to
do a job, door to door sales, in which as everyone knows is a pretty difficult job to do, it's not for everyone
but Jay flourished.
You can be great with people and be detennined which are great traits but there are two roads to
choose from: 1. A Selfish way and just work for yourself and making money off of people and not care about
your team, or 2. Concentrating your abilities to be a great leader, team member, and to help people become
great as well, and that is what I learned from Jay as I worked with him and played soccer with him. In
everything Jay did, he took the helm of a leader and developed people as well as shown an example of what
great leaders should be like.
Jay Wilson with be a great asset not only managing the sales team and a loyal co-worker but also if
you let him, he will be the pulse to help grow the starting soccer franchise into a great money making
machine.
Sincerely,
James Nanakompanom

It is my pleasure to be writing this letter recommending Jay Wilson. I had the
opportunity to work with James for approximately two years. During this time I was able
build a relationship with him professioi].ally and personally. Please accept this letter to
learn the reputation of the qualities he has.
First of all I would like to describe his dedication. Whether it is from bringing a
sense of urgency to every work task he has, to making sure all of his personal matters are
in order, he attac?ks every day to truly exemplify the expression "Seize the day''. He takes
personal pride in himself. Therefore, any task no matter how small or large he would go
above and beyond and never s~ttle for tile b~e-minimum-. His work would almost leave
a signature.
The next thing that remarkable was his teamwork. Jay's humble nature and
approachability allowed for him to spread him self out to his teammates. He could work
with anyone and make them feel comfortable to ask tough questions that they could work
through together. While giving of his time he never seemed to ever take a step back in
his own pel'Sonal work. He always believed that the best way to improve-his situation
was to help improve the ones around him first.
Finally I want to address his leadership. He always believed in leading from
amongst and never from above. He would never ask or expect anyone to perform a task
if he had not done and understood it already. Therefore, he had a way to motivate others
to expect the best out of themselves because they saw him generate the best of himself. I
was able to watch Jay cultivate some of the largest and most productive teams in the
nation. His team still holds records in many of the most important categories within the
company. I assure you that this wasn't a coincidence, but a pattern of coaching and
developing talent.
Jay was instrumental for my development. Few people I have worked with have
left as much of~ impact. I str~mgly recommend Jay for any position, opportunity or
endeavor that he pursues. He will be valuable to any organization.
Sincerely,

Please accept this as my personal letter of recommendation for Jay Wilson. As a Sales Representative
for Biomet Microfixatlon and former sale rep for Stryker, I have seen firsthand Jay's exceptional sales
skills, managerial skills, and how he immediately became an integral member of the company. Now, a
few years later, he is in pursuit of new opportunities to expand on his considerable skills. I have
personally tried courting and recruiting him for my current company based in Jacksonville, FL.
Jay has a winning attitude that embraces all challenges and encourages collaboration. The phrase "team
player" is often overused, but Jay is truly that. He draws the best out of every person, promotes talent
and has succeeded at every task handed to him. To better my services, I use many of Jay's Ideas and
practices. These ideas and practices are now being mirrored by many other regional managers and sales
representatives.
Jay is also an effective leader. He clearly communicates expectations and notes strengths to better
improve his team's performance. Out of the multiple sales reps I have known over the years, Jay was is
the only one that continues to show high amounts of profit and with high marks every year.
It is my pleasure to recommend Jay Wilson for any position or endeavor that he may seek to pursue. He
will be a valuable asset for any organization.

I retired from the Dept of the Navy in 2011. I started as a secretary in 1973 and worked my way up the
career ladder as a business financial manager in various capacities to the Chief Financial Officer for the
Program Executive Office for Ships. I have extensive financial, budgeting, and contracting experience. 1
have a BS degree and a Masters in Public Administration. I served on my neighborhood Homeowners
Association for several years as both a member and as the Treasurer in the 1990's. I designed both my
home in Rockville, MD and our home here at 1024 Ocean Blvd and worked closely with the Architect,
the Contractor, the Engineer, the tradespeople and the COAB permit/approval people.

My husband and I moved to Atlantic Beach in September 2013. We heard about the area from a friend
and were in love with the neighborhood as soon as we saw it-mainly because of the trees and the mix
of home styles and family atmosphere. We purchased our home and had it renovated and added to
prior to moving in. We kept the older portion of the home, removed a garage space that had been
enclosed, and added space well within the boundaries of our lot size. I am concerned with the extensive
destruction of the older homes being razed and replaced with huge homes which is, in my and many of
my neighbors' opinions going to ruin the small town feel that drew us to Atlantic Beach. While the new
homeowners are well within their rights to build within current codes/zoning regulations, it seems that
much of the increased development is being driven business-people versus homeowners. As part of this
community, I would like to be on this committee to be involved in the current and future changes to
Atlantic Beach.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
Tree Code Revisions
Jeremy Hubsch /J!:J,}
Building and Zoning Director( Y(
February 24, 2015
AGENDA ITEM# SA
MARCH 23, 2015
A repoti on the Tree Code was given to the Commission in October of2014. The Commission
then tasked staff with making changes to improve the code. Staff then discussed the Tree Code
and presented possible changes to the code to the Community Development Board. The CDB
voted on 3 recommendations at their February 1 i 11 meeting, and have more 2 recommendations
to fine tune. The recommendations are:
1. Require a tree removal permit for the removal of any tree within 24 months of
construction with a value over $10,000 and that the removal of all trees in excess of 6
inches in diameter require an on demand tree removal permit. The motion canied
unanimously.
Staff recommended that the city require a tree removal permit any time a tree is removed.
The Community Development Board was not supportive of this recommendation. It was
pointed out that a resident may plant a tree in their yard, and then seek to remove that tree
a few years later. The board felt that it is not fair to require a property owner to mitigate
for the removal of a tree they may themselves have planted. The board generally agreed
that residents are doing a good job of maintaining the tree canopy. They believe that the
loss of the canopy can mostly be attributed to new development. Therefore, they choose
to recommend extending the tree permit requirement from 6 months to 24 months. This
means a tree permit would be needed whenever a tree is removed within 24 months
before or after of construction that exceeds $10,000.
Additionally, the board recommended that all trees removed must file an on demand
permit. An on demand permit would essentially be a tool for staff to track trees that were
removed. If a tree was removed, then 8 months later a property owner attempted to
obtain a building permit, staff would be able to require the property owner to
mitigate for the tree that they had already removed.
2. Eliminate the interior/exterior zone aspect of the code and have all trees 6 inches or more
in diameter be defined as private regulated trees. The motion canied unanimously.
Cunently, the tree code states that protected trees (private regulated trees) are all trees
that are 6 inches or larger in the "exterior zone" of a prope1iy. The exterior zone is
everywhere outside of the buildable area on a lot. All trees over 20 inches are protected in
the "interior zone", or buildable area of the lot. The logic behind this is that it should be
easier to preserve trees outside the buildable area on a lot. However, this provision allows
AGENDA ITEM# 8A
MARCH 23, 2015
trees up to 20 inches in the interior of the lot to be removed without any mitigation.
Additionally, trees up to 20 inches are given preservation credit for mitigation.
Hypothetically, a prope1iy owner can remove a 38 inch tree, get 19 inches of preservation
credit for maintaining a tree, and then later cut down the 19 inch tree that it got credit for
with no mitigation required (the 19 inch tree is not protected). There is also an argument
that if the city allows every 15 to 20 inch tree to be removed with no mitigation, the city's
future canopy will suffer.
One important thing to consider with this proposed change is it will also impact the
amount of preservation credit property owners get. The code currently only gives
preservation credit to trees that are not protected (less than 6" in exterior zone and less
than 20" in interior zone). If this section is changed to 6 inches, only trees below that
size will be given preservation credit. This means property owners will likely have to
mitigate more in the form of replacement or payment into the tree fund. This will
minimize the overall loss of trees on a prope1iy.
3. Make the mitigation rate payable to the tree fund $17 5. 00 per caliper inch. The motion
carried unanimously.
Atlantic Beach has used the same dollar figure that the City of Jacksonville uses for
payment into the tree fund. Up until recently that number was $49 an inch. The City of
Jacksonville recently changed this to $113 to more accurately reflect cmTent market
costs. The Community Development Board has recommended an even higher number of
$175 per inch.
There are two staff recommendations that the CDB would like refined before they vote to
recommend to the Commission.
1. Strengthen Protection of Oaks.
Oaks are a treasured species by many in Atlantic Beach, and greatly contribute to the
character of the community. They are one of a few things that distinguish Atlantic Beach
from its neighboring beach communities. Staff is recommending that mitigation be
increased on oaks from 1 :2 to 1: 1. Currently if you remove an oak, you have to mitigate 1
inch for every two inches removed (same as other trees in Atlantic Beach). Strengthening
protection of oaks will not prevent their removal, but it will make it more cost prohibitive
to do so. The code also says that only new oaks can be used to replace removed oaks.
This means a prope1iy owner would need to mitigate 40 inches if they remove a 40 inch
oak. This is simply not physically feasible on many properties and would likely force the
prope1iy owner to pay into the tree fund. However, staff would like to ensure that some
mitigation is provided on site. Staff is also recommending that a certain percentage of
mitigation be provided on site in the form of replacement oaks (25%). If a prope1iy owner
removed a 40 inch oak, they would need to provide at least 1 0 inches of mitigation on
site. They could then pay the remainder into the tree fund.
AGENDA ITEM# SA
MARCH 23, 2015
The Community Development Board was generally in favor of increasing the mitigation
ratio to 1 : 1. However, they wanted to specifically limit this to protection of Live Oaks
and Coastal Oaks. The reason being that the two other prevalent oak species in Atlantic
Beach (Water Oaks and Laurel Oaks) have shorter life spans than other oaks, and are
more disease prone. The board decided to vote on this at their March 1 i 11 meeting.
2. Give replacement credit for palms. As the code is currently written, prope1iy owners are
only given replacement credit for palms when they are replacing removed palms. Palms
are native to the beach and are more salt tolerant than some other species. One impmiant
point to note is that oaks must be replaced by oaks, so prope1iy owners will not be able to
use palms to replace oaks. Staff would like the Community Development Board and
Commission to consider allowing palms to get replacement credit when replacing other
removed species. This could be a citywide provision, or one that is specifically
geographically related, such as all areas east of East Coast Drive and Seminole Drive
nmih of its terminus with East Coast Drive. The idea being that palms may thrive better
than other species in immediate proximity to the beach.
The board was generally suppmiive of this recommendation, but wanted to limit it only
to a select few palm species, primarily ones that are indigenous and of substantial size.
They also plan to address this at their March 1 i 11 meeting.
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to draft an ordinance to amend Chapter 23 of the Land
Development Code (Protection of Trees and Native Vegetation) based on recommendations

MARCJ-123, 2015
The City Commission as ked city sta ff to ana lyze the city's tree co de an d make recommendations for
improving t he code last fa ll. In October 2014, sta ff gave a presentation to th e comm ission abo ut the
tree code and ways it could be strengthe ned. Afte r further review of the code, below a r e proposed
recommendations fo r a mending Chapter 23 of t he Atl antic 13 each Code (P rotection of Tr ees and
Native Vegetation).
1. Am end Sections 23-21 and 23-22, which outline when a permit is needed. Currently a tree permit
is n eeded wh e n: new infill deve lopment occurs; where co nstruction ove r $10,000 occurs on a s ite;
and where undeveloped la nd is go in g to · be clea re d for future developme nt. Ther e are e ight
diffe r ent sce nario s where tree r emoval can be exempt from a requiring a tree r emoval permit. 1.
No dev elopment activity. 2. Emergency situation . 3. Safety hazard . 4·. Di seased or pest-infes ted
trees. 5. Noxious invasive trees. 6. Utility operations. 7. Surveyors/engineers. 8. City crews.
Staff is r eco mm ending that th e exemgtion related to deve lopment ac t ivity be removed. The way
th e code is currently written, peop le can remove a tree fo r a ny reason, so long as they arc not
conductin g any co nstruction on the ir home w ithin 6 months . Removing th is provi s ion would only
a ll ow peop le to r emove trees witho ut a permit if th ey had ca us e to do so . The burden of pr oof
wou ld then be on the owner to show that they ar e exempt from a perm it.
2. Streng th en Protection of Oaks . Oaks a re a treasured species by many in Atl antic Beach, and grea tly
contribute to th e character of the community. They are one of a few th ings that di stingui sh
Atlantic Beach from its neigh boring beach communities. Staff is recommending that mitigation be
increased on oaks from 1:2 to 1:1. Cu rrently i f you remove a n oak, you have to mitigate 1 inch for
every two inches removed (same as other trees in Atlantic Beac h). Str engthening protectio n of
oaks will not prevent their remova l, but it wil l make it more cost p rohibitive to do so. The co de
a lso says that on ly new oaks ca n be use d to replace r emov e d oaks. Thi s me ans a property owner
woul d need to miti ga te 40 inches if they remove a 40 inch oak. This is simply not physica ll y
feasible on ma ny properties and wou ld likely force th e property owne r to pay into the tree fund.
Howev er, staff wou ld li ke to ensure that so me mitigation is provided on site. Staff is also
recommending that a ce rtain percentage of mitigation be provided on site in the fo rm of
replacement oaks (25%). If a property owner r emoved a 40 in ch oak, they would n eed to provid e
at leas t 10 inch es of mitigation on site. They cou ld th e n pay the r emainder into the t r ee fund.
AGENDA ITEM# 8A
MARCH 23, 2015
3. Change the definition of "private regulated tree". Currently, the tree code states that protected
trees (private regulated trees) are all trees that are 6 inches or larger in the "exterior zone" of a
property. The exterior zone is everywhere outside of the buildable area on a lot. All trees over 20
inches are protected in the "interior zone", or buildable area of the lot. The logic behind this is that
it should be easier to preserve trees outside the buildable area on a lot. However, this provision
allows trees up to 20 inches in the interior of the lot to be removed without any mitigation.
Additionally, trees up to 20 inches are given preservation credit for mitigation. Hypothetically, a
property owner can remove a 38 inch tree, get 19 inches of preservation credit for maintaining a
tree, and then later cut down the 19 inch tree that it got credit for with no mitigation required
(the 19 inch tree is not protected). There is also an argument that if the city allows every 15 to 20
inch tree to be removed with no mitigation, the city's future canopy will suffer. Staff is
recommending that the definition of "private regulated tree" be changed to all trees over a certain
size. Staff has no precise. scientific way to arrive at a recommended size. but would like the
Community Development Board and Commission to consider changing it to either 6. 8, or 10
inches.
One important thing to consider with this proposed change is it will also impact the amount of
preservation credit property owners get. The code currently only gives preservation credit to
trees that are not protected (less than 6" in exterior zone and less than 20" in interior zone). Ifthis
section is changed to either 6, 8, or 10 inches, only trees below that size will be given preservation
credit. This means property owners will likely have to mitigate more in the form of replacement or
payment into the tree fund. This will minimize the overall loss of trees on a property.
4. Give replacement credit for palms. As the code is currently written, property owners are only
given replacement credit for palms when they are replacing removed palms. Palms are native to
the beach and are more salt tolerant than some other species. One important point to note is that
oaks must be replaced by oaks, so property owners will not be able to use palms to replace oaks.
Staff would like the Community Development Board and Commission to consider allowing palms
to get replacement credit when replacing other removed species. This could be a citywide
provision, or one that is specifically geographically related, such as all areas east of East Coast
Drive and Seminole Drive north of its terminus with East Coast Drive. The idea being that palms
may thrive better than other species in immediate proximity to the beach.
5. Change the dollar amount required for mitigation. Atlantic Beach has used the same dollar figure
that the City of Jacksonville uses for payment into the tree fund. Up until recently that number was
$49 an inch. The City of Jacksonville recently changed this to $113 to more accurately reflect
current market costs. Staff will continue to follow the City of Iacksonville' s rates and charge $113.

March 10,2015
AGENDA ITEM# 8B
MARCH 23. 2015
The Beaches Town Center Agency (BTCA) would like to create a public art program at the
Beaches Town Center. Given the limited space available at the Town Center, the proposed public
art will be placed in Atlantic Beach's right of way. Per city code, this must be approved by the
Atlantic Beach City Commission. The BTCA has created a seven page document that provides
guidelines for the project (see attached).
The BTCA would like approval from the city to install the public mi at defined locations (see
attached map). The BTCA plans to create an Ali Selection Panel to select the best submitted
projects. The guidelines state that acceptable miwork may be mixed media, sculpture, glass, clay,
and others; previously existing mi; commissioned art; and site specific commissions. The
guidelines stipulate that at least 85% of the works will be from residents of the Jacksonville
Metropolitan Area. The art will be paid for by the BTCA.
The guidelines state that "the mi will reflect generally accepted community standards of aesthetic
appeal and miistic expression" and that it will be "appropriate for the streetscape as well as the
audience it serves". Staff would like to recommend that an additional sentence be added to the
guidelines which states that "no political, religious, or sexually explicit miwork will be
accepted". The guidelines as written do have some remedy for the city in the event that artwork
is deemed offensive. They state, "The City of Atlantic Beach will retain ownership of the work,
and COAB will have rights to remove work after 6 months, if the work is deemed unsuitable to
the public. The removed work will be returned to the BTCA for alternate placement sites."
The City will complete a review of the proposed locations to ensure there are not any public
safety concerns. This will be completed prior to final approval from City Commission.

1. ART GUIDELINES
The Beaches Towncenter Agency (BTCA) is responsible for setting appropriate standards for art
selection and for determining the proper placement of the work. The consideration of the following
areas will be integral to the BTCA process.
a. BTCA Art shall be:
• Excellent in creative expression and technical execution
• Contemporary in terms of the best of current and relevant creative thinking
• Varied in terms of aesthetic direction, materials, scale, and range of expression
• Diverse in the origins and backgrounds of the artists
• Appropriate for the streetscape as well as the audience it serves
b. Placement of Art
Art is to be placed in locations that are easily accessible to the public, both visually and physically. See
concept sketch, 11-30-14. Security will also be a consideration when evaluating potential locations of
art.
c. Standards
Works of art selected will be original works whenever feasible, not mass-produced or of standard
design.
Art will reflect generally accepted community standards of aesthetic appeal and artistic expression.
Art will becreated by artists of appropriate status and recognized by art professionals for excellence
of their previous work and the suitability of their current work for a particular project.
Materials and fabrication processes of artwork must be suitable for the specific installation site,
particularly the proposed exterior sites. Considerations will include material durability, maintenance
concerns, effects of vandalism and graffiti, as well as natural deterioration. New materials and regional
climate effects require special consideration.
d. Forms of Artwork
Acceptable forms of artwork shall include visual arts mediums, including, but not
limited to, mixed media, sculpture, glass, clay, and others.
Existing art or art previously produced by an artist and available for purchase
may be considered in any situation.
Commissioned art designed to accommodate large or unusual spaces

the site will be considered to create art that is integrated with the streetscape.
Work (commissioned or purchased) will be selected according to the above guidelines and artists must
meet the following qualifications.
a. Qualifications
Residency: The ASP will seek to ensure that at least 85 percent of the selected artists in
the BTCA Collection will reside in Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Baker or Nassau counties.
Experience: Purchases or commissions for the project will be limited to experienced
artists. Artists must have experience exhibiting their work, educational credentials, and in
the case of commissions, demonstrated successful experience executing commissioned
work on a contract basis. The reputation and critical success of each artist will be taken
into consideration.
b. Resources
Collaboration: Collaboration between two or more artists in the design of a single
project is acceptable.
Art professionals participating in the art selection process are encouraged to recommend artists for
consideration.
c. Payments to Artists
In most cases, payment for art purchased will be made directly by the BTCA to the artist. Artists
represented by agents, galleries, or consultants must provide a written statement requesting that payment
for existing work be made to such representative.
Commission Agreement Contracts will be made between the BTCA and the artist. Artists represented by
these agents, galleries or consultants may have separate agreements with these representatives regarding
sales; however, these agreements will not be part of the Agreement Contract with the BTCA.
Artists will submit invoices to the BTCA according to a pre-defined format approved by the BTCA. For
existing work, this will include a description of the artwork, title, medium, size, date and price.
Statements regarding copyright/ownership/maintenance as prescribed by the BTCA (see Artists
Responsibilities below) will also be included. Once approved by BTCA, invoices will be for payment.
2
d. Restrictions
Artists who will not be eligible for the project are:
• Members of the BTCA Board of Directors or staff.
AGENDA ITEM# SB
MARCH 23, 2015
• Students working under the supervision of an instructor or submitting a work created as a
student project.
e. Artist Responsibilities
Artists commissioned to create art for the project will have certain responsibilities, all of which will be stated
in the Agreement Contract. They will include but not be limited to the following:
• Guarantee to maintain artwork against all defects for a period of no less than one year after
installation.
• Provide long term maintenance instructions and complete description of materials and
installation process.
• Work with BTCA Art Selection Panel to assure compatibility of artwork design and installation
with architectural and structural issues.
• Participate in community outreach efforts, as appropriate.
3. ART SELECTION PROCESS
The BTCA will form an Art Selection Panel to select works from artist submissions.
a. Policies
The Art Selection Process will, in every case, abide by the policies regarding Art Guidelines, Artists,
and Art Allocation described above. For each project, selection will consider aesthetic merit and
suitability for the site and its neighborhood. Issues of durability, maintenance, and conservation must
also be satisfied.
An artist's selection for a commissioned project will be primarily based upon the quality of past work
and the appropriateness of the artist's work for the site, as well as the artist's ability to respond to
the distinctive character of a specific site.
b. Structure of an Art Selection Panel (ASP)
Membership of an ASP will be appointed by the BTCA will consist of up to four members including a
Chair.
The chair shall be a member or honorary member of BTCA appointed by the BTCA president.

transportation and installation, proposal fees and travel reimbursements for artists;
plaques and other documentation
2. A recommendation for a type of art appropriate for the site (painting, sculpture, etc.)
3. A recommendation regarding the purchase of existing work verses the

4. Notes regarding long term maintenance concerns
g. Recommendation/ Acceptance/Rejection
4
AGENDA ITEM# SB
MARCH 23, 2015
Recommendation
The ASP will make all selections based on the criteria listed above.
If an existing work is recommended for purchase, the selected artist will arrange
for its delivery.
Upon arrival, ASP will examine the work to determine its condition. If it is not in
excellent condition, the work will be returned to the artist for satisfactory repair. If the
work cannot be repaired, another recommendation will be made by the same ASP.
In the case of a proposed commission, ASP will select work from the artist proposals.
Acceptance
Existing work: APC will contact the artist and request an invoice for the amount
stated on the artist's price list.
Rejection
Commission: APC will contact the artist to request a proposal and to arrange
the proposal agreement
If the proposal was submitted and accepted, contract arrangements will begin.
If the ASP rejects the artist proposal, the proposal will be returned to the artist.
4. COMMISSION PROCEDURE
All art commissions proposed for the project will be on a contract basis. All commissions will include a
proposal phase. The ASP will:
a. Review previous work by proposed artists and select one (or more) to complete a proposal
b. Invite selected artists to interview with or present proposals. A proposal shall contain:
• A model, drawing, or other visuals to communicate the artist's concept
• A budget, to include the artist's fee, cost of materials, fabrication, installation,
shipping, insurance, travel and other related expenses
• Timeline including design, fabrication, installation, etc.
c. Finalization Policy
In general, the following procedures will be used to initiate and execute an art commission:
5
AGENDA ITEM# 8B
MARCH 23,2015
• A site visit for artist(s) will be arranged to include meetings with the site architect,
and presentations to ASP.
• Artist meetings and means for future communication will be arranged as needed.
• ASP accepts, rejects or requests modifications to the proposal.
• Upon approval of proposal, complete a contract with the artist, specifying all
conditions of the commission.
• Payment for commissions may be made on a schedule, including an initial deposit
upon signing the contract and additional payments at specified stages of
completion.
• In addition to describing the scope of the artist's work, contracts will also specify
terms related to insurance, shipping standards, liability, and recourse in case of
disagreement or rejection of completed work.
• The ASP will monitor progress of all commissions.
• The ASP will coordinate with the artist, design and construction teams regarding site
preparation, construction schedule, and all other issues pertinent to the installation
of the commissioned work.
• A plaque or label must be provided for each work as specified.
• Document project including inventory and maintenance requirements as required by
the ASP.
• The City of Atlantic Beach will retain ownership of the work, and COAB will have
rights to remove work after 6 months, if the work is deemed unsuitable to the public.
The removed work will be returned to the BTCA for alternate placement sites.
5. INSTALLATION AND PRESENTATION
BTCA is charged with the installation and appropriate presentation of all works to achieve the maximum
aesthetic impact while considering access and security measures. Installation and presentation costs
must be budgeted in art costs as noted in the project package for existing work or included in the artist's
budget as shown in the commission contract.
a. Existing work
The APS will arrange for the installation of work at each facility according to the following guidelines:
1. Freestanding works must be securely attached to the pedestal unless judged to be
of a weighUsolidity that poses no danger of the work moving. Approval by the AB
Department of Public Works is necessary for this exception.
2. Pedestals, required for freestanding works, will be designed by BTAC or by the APC to
create a standard design for most works. See proposed Pedestal Sketch.
6
AGENDA ITEM# 8B
MARCH 23, 2015
b. Commissioned Art/Site-Specific Art
Installation of commissioned art will be by the artist or supervised by the artist. A description and cost will
be included in the artist's Commission Agreement Contract.
c. Plaques
Plaques will identify each work of art in the district. Plaques will be located in clear visual proximity
of the work of art, such as the lower right corner of a pedestal. When possible, plaques should be
placed in a consistent location.
• Name of artist (city of residence)
• Title of work (date of installation)
• Medium of work
An identification plaque is the responsibility of the artist. The content and format will be outlined by the
ASP. Project budgets will include the costs of plaques.
6. SITE PREPARATION
In certain cases, particularly with site-specific commissions, special preparation or modification of a site
may be required for the installation of an artwork.
ASP is responsible for determining, at the outset of a project, the possible need for such adjustments and
requesting APPP Staff to follow certain procedures, such as:
• Coordinate with the artist and appropriate members of the project team, including
program manager, architect or others, as appropriate to determine exact requirements.
In order to contain costs related to site preparation, the ASP will follow procedures for
commissioning art in a timely manner, thus minimizing the need for site modifications following
construction.
7. OWNERSHIP/COPYRIGHT
2-9-15
END
1.) Copyright and other moral rights of artists including those covered in the Visual Artists Right Act
of 1990 will be addressed in all Agreement Contracts or purchase agreements related to art
acquisitions.
2.) Once the work is installed the COAB will review the work for completion for a period of no more
than 30 days. Once the work is accepted the COAB will accept ownership and maintenance of the
works, for the life of the work.
