September 14,2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 Page2 Cheryl Vonn, 1209 W. Plaza, stated she supports the proposal to buy the Bennett property at 280 Camelia to expand access to Tideviews. John November, 271 East Coast Drive, spoke in suppmt of the Bennett property purchase stating if they don't approve the contract for the short sale it is likely they will lose it to a developer. He stated it is important that the City take care of its residents in that neighborhood and spend some money on the west side of Atlantic Beach to create an important access on that side of the property. He stated he hopes the Commission moves forward with getting this contract signed tonight, with the knowledge that they still have to get the bank's approval and then it will come back to the Commission again for approval in the future. Mitch Reeves, 1663 Sea Oats Drive, spoke in opposition to the purchase of the Bennett property. He stated this comes out of the 2015-2016 budget and a new Commission is coming on board November 9 and asked that they leave this decision to the new Commission coming in. He further gave his condolences to the Mayor for the loss of her mother. Maureen Shaughnessy, 361 Main St., spoke in support of the purchase of the Bennett property to have an access to the park. David Harmer, 364 W. 3rd St., stated he would like to see a plan for the park if they purchase the property. He further stated he is a proud member of Atlantic Beach, not "that" community. Suzanne Barker, 1938 Beachside Ct., thanked Mayor Woods and Commissioner Mark for their outstanding stewardship for our seaside community and tireless efforts in getting Atlantic Beach in the right direction. She also spoke in support of the Bennett property purchase. She further spoke in support of the resolution banning statewide fracking and encouraged the Commission to pass it. John Stinson, 150 12th Street, stated he has spent about 34 years in oil and gas and believes they are going out of their scope of responsibility on the fracking issue. Lou Keith, 1845 Tierra Verde Drive, addressed the budget and the $300,000+ ove1run for the police building project, asking how can they take on a project without a contingency. He stated this is not the time to buy the Bennett property. Christina Austin, 259 Jasmine Street, spoke in support of the purchase ofthe Bennett property. She stated she believes these things build value in the homes in the area. Phillip Poole, 131 Jasmine Street, spoke in support of acquiring the Bennett property but stated they need more police presence in the area of the park. He related some of the past problems in the park. He stated he would also like to see a plan of what they are going to do with the property. Travis Stratmann, 12225 High Laurel Drive, President of ABAA, asked that they approve the contract with ABAA so they can continue to move forward. Dan Hurley, 310 Camelia Street, stated he is on the fence about the City purchasing the Bennett property. He would like to see a plan of what they will do with the property and asked who is going to care for it. Johnny Sparks, 2022 Lake View, addressed some documents he brought with him stating he can't have international documents and treaties interfering with the constitutional operation of the United States of America. September 14, 2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 Page3 Chris Jorgensen, 92 W. 3rd St., thanked Mitch Reeves and John Stinson for their victories. He also thanked the Police Chief for their Facebook; addressed the radio interview of Commissioner Mark; called for Commissioner Mark's resignation; and addressed the sea level rising. Diana Townsend, 266 Poinsettia St., thanked the Commission for their work on the HRO, saving our beaches and the Mayport Corridor. She spoke in favor of buying the Bennett property, stating it will be invaluable for everyone. Mike Grunik, 2051 Vela Norte Circle, stated if they want to have a consensus agree with them and their views they should use more persuasion and less intimidation. He stated logic should always dictate a decision that affects a community, instead they have allowed emotions to take its place. He stated being denied the right to place an amendment before a vote by its citizens is clearly a violation of our bill of rights. A community is supposed to look up to its elected officials and expect them to serve and protect their constituents, instead some desire to change the City from the outside in. He stated recent events have given proof that some cannot handle losing an election; some elected officials have let their positions go to their head and they need to realize they are no different now than when they entered into office and they are just like us. He stated they should be above reproach, held accountable for their actions and be careful not to expose themselves to emotional outbursts during any confrontations. He stated he doesn't point a fmger at anyone who stumbles and falls as long as they realize their mistake and try to make amends with those they have confronted in a retaliatory response. He stated this is an embarrassment to any community and if the individuals fail to resolve the issue then immediate resignation should be implemented. Finishing a lame duck term would be nothing less than a conflict of interest. Chris Wadelton, 600 Ponte Vedra Blvd, #403, Ponte Vedra Beach, Supervisor-St Johns Co. Soil and Water Board, reported on an oil spill issue in Santa Barbara, California and spoke in opposition to fracking and in support of the resolution banning fracking in the State ofFlorida. Brittany Norris, 1183 Violet St., encouraged the Commission to think positively on the purchase of the Bennett property. Lorraine Smith, 112 Poinsettia St., spoke in support of Commissioner Mark, stating one incident in someone's life does not define the good they have done or the good they will continue to do. She stated she finds it very difficult for someone to be so critical when we are all human beings and we all make mistakes. John Debus, 2038 Wyndham Hollow Court, Jacksonville, addressed the fracking issue stating he is not anti-gas or oil but he is pro-drinking water. He stated he supports the resolution to ban fracking. No one else from the audience spoke, so Mayor Woods closed the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. Mayor Woods stated she has spent most of the summer being maliciously and intentionally slandered by an opponent who professed to be running on respect and inclusiveness. She stated in great contrast she spent the last two weeks watching her mother die and grieving with a large, loving and caring family. She stated the loving embrace, even filled with the grief, is preferable to the acrimonious hatred that some feel the need to propagate and which only serves to divide us as a community. She stated this spiteful behavior is a great disrespect and a waste of the special gift of life that God has given to all of us. She stated her God is a kind, loving, forgiving and accepting God; he speaks to her of helping others and leads her to show care and compassion to all. She stated as far as this personal dispute is concerned, she is convinced that both sides are September 14,2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 Page 4 at fault; neither side can claim a higher moral ground nor is there anything to be gained by festering this issue. She stated she is quite ashamed by the whole thing. 3. Unfinished Business from Previous Meetings A. Public Hearing-Use-by-exception to permit on premises consumption of alcoholic beverages within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District at 28 Sherry Drive (15-UBEX 1042). Jeremy Hubsch summarized the use-by-exception stating, at the last meeting, the Commission wanted to add another condition that alcohol must be purchased by room keys of hotel guests to ensure outside users wouldn't come in and turn this into an open bar type atmosphere. He stated staff recommends approval with the conditions.

Moved by Mark, Seconded by Daugherty Mayor Woods opened the Public Hearing. Susan Green Fairbaren, 711 Paradise Lane, stated she was the first resident General Manager at the newly renovated Palms Hotel and this was a very popular request of their guests. She stated she highly supports this and recommends the Commission support it. No one else from the audience spoke so Mayor Woods closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Hubsch answered questions from Commissioner Daugherty about amplified music. Commissioner Daugherty stated he would like to add another condition to have no amplified music after 10:00.

AGENDA ITEM #lA SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 PageS Mike Whalen, 1420 Mayport Road, asked if they are still going to maintain an area for small businesses or will it just be total storage. He stated they need all the opportunities for small businesses on the business corridor they have and that is a fine place they have and he noticed they are going to take that part of it out. No one from the audience spoke so Mayor Woods closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Hill stated he shares the citizen's concern but believes the property owner can do what they need to do with their property to make their property work for them, as long as they are within our rules. Randall Whitfield, 7880 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, stated they will still have some spaces for small businesses. Votes: Aye: 4-Daugherty, Hill, Mark, Woods Nay: 0 MOTION CARRIED C. Short Sale and Purchase Agreement for 280 Camelia Street, Bennett Property. City Manager Nelson Van Liere stated an appraisal, a proposed short sale and purchase agreement, and petitions are in the agenda packet and it is proposed for the Commission to discuss whether they want to move forward with the acquisition of the land. He stated if they choose to do that it will be followed in the future by a budget ordinance to fund it. Motion: Authorize the City Attorney and City Manager to proceed with the necessary purchase offer for 280 Camelia Street and propose a mid-year budget ordinance to fund the contract for specified amount to be determined at closing. Moved by Daugherty, Seconded by Mark Commissioner Daugherty stated this opens up the base of Tideviews Park to the neighborhood. He explained this will be an access to the marsh views, ponds and walking trails, etc. He stated like the rest of Tideviews it will close at dark. He further explained the short sale agreement. Commissioner Hill stated he doesn't believe this is a park but rather an entrance to a park. He stated he believes they should make it a residence where a police officer could live. He stated he doesn't want to buy it, call it a park and leave it like it is because the park still won't be safe. He stated they have to commit to do something to that whole facility to make it more usable. He asked that they don't limit their uses and leave that property very flexible until they figure out what it is. Commissioner Mark stated they could just call it green space for now and she believes in preserving green space and supports purchasing the property. Mayor Woods stated the community as a whole will benefit from this for centuries to come. Further discussion ensued. September 14, 2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 Page 6 Mr. Van Liere stated the proposal was to spend unrestricted General Fund funds; right now the Half-Cent Sales Tax money is tied up in the current proposed budget.

He answered questions from the Commission. Commissioner Hill asked if they should look at changing the Code to allow a circular drive when the conditions are right for it so they don't have to keep doing use-by-exceptions. Mayor Woods stated she would like to move this to the Community Development Board to have them look at the Code and come up with a better system than each of these having to come before the Commission.

She stated since we do not have those businesses in our City now, this would be the time to enact an ordinance, particularly with the redevelopment planning for Mayport Road. She asked if there is consensus in passing a similar ordinance for the City of Atlantic Beach. Discussion ensued. There was no consensus of the Commission to move this forward to the next agenda. F. Proposed Resolution on Banning Fracking Statewide. Commissioner Mark explained the proposed resolution. Discussion ensued.

Saswata and Anjna Roy, 90 Ocean Blvd., stated this is an evidentiary meeting and one of the key pieces of evidence is a report and they explained that the expert who generated the report is not available on the 28th. Commissioner Hill stated they need to expedite the meeting and it should not be relevant to any external issues; no one should be looking at a calendar other than the set meetings. He stated when there is a conflict between two parties, they shouldn't allow that to be a leverage point because it can add to the conflict. He explained what the Commission does is try to make it the very first available meeting that they are going to meet already and if they start looking at calendars it will end up like a regular court proceeding where lawyers use dates to agonize their opponent. He stated he would like to set the date for the next meeting and whoever can be there will be there and they will look at whatever evidence shows up and make a decision based on that. Mayor Woods stated there is information they should all be knowledgeable about before they get together for this meeting; otherwise they will not have time to move through it all. Mr. Komando stated the appeal is included as part of the agenda packet tonight along with the order granting variance. He stated the information made available to the Community Development Board will be made available to the Commission and they can also view the video of the discussion on line as well.
