15-CGTA-1060 and 15-CGTA-1061-Amending the text of the
Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map related to Atlantic Beach
Country Club Annexation (Public Hearing)-Deferred Iteill/2Jj
Jeremy Hubsch, Building and Zoning Director T I-[
October 9, 2015
BACKGROUND: The City of Atlantic Beach is in the process of conducting a voluntary annexation
of the approximately 135 acres of the Atlantic Beach Country Club that is currently located in the
City of Jacksonville. In order to complete annexation, the City has to comply with Florida statutory
requirements, which require amending the City's Comprehensive Plan. As part of these
requirements, the text of the Comprehensive Plan and the City's Future Land Use Map must be
amended to reflect the proposed annexation.
There are two separate amendments; an amendment to the text (15-CGTA-1060) and an
amendment to the Future Land Use Map (15-CGTA-1061). Due to statutory requirements, the text
of the Comprehensive Plan must be amended prior to annexation to reflect the Interlocal Service
Agreement with the City of Jacksonville. The City's Future Land Use Map also needs to be revised to
reflect the newly annexed 135 acres. In order to move forward, the City must submit these to the
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and other agencies for review. When the state
agencies have signed off on the amendments, the City can then hold another public hearing to
approve and formally adopt the amendments.
At the September 15 meeting, the Community Development Board voted 4-0 to recommend the City
Commission vote to transmit both 15-CGTA-1060 and 15-CGTA-1061 to the Florida Department of
Economic Opportunity for review. However, at the September 28th meeting, the City Commission
requested staff amend 15-CGTA-1061 to reflect a "recreation and greenspace easement" that was
granted to the City by the developers of the Atlantic Beach Country Club. The proposed Future Land
Use Map Amendment has been revised to designate the area located within the recreation easement
as Recreation and Open Space (R/0)
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Vote to transmit 15-CGTA-1060, amendments to the text of the
Comprehensive Plan and15-CGTA-1061, a revision of the Future Land Use Map to the Florida
Department of Economic Opportunity for review.

Wetlands, Environmentally Sensitive Areas
and Estuarine Environments
The City shall protect, conserve and enhance the natural functions of existing
wetlands, marsh and estuarine systems, and other Environmentally Sensitive
Areas in order to maintain the quality and function of natural systems and wildlife
habitats.
Note: The terms "wetlands" or interchangeably "natural wetlands" as used within this
Plan shall mean those wetland areas which have been created through natural means or
through restoration or wetland creation projects of government agencies having authority
over these resources, and shall not be construed to include stormwater ponds, or other
manmade drainage facilities, which may be designated as jurisdictional for the purpose of
stormwater management, but which are not natural Wetlands.

(ICW) regardless of any other regulatory agency requirement of a
lesser distance. This requirement shall also apply to the portions of
tributaries, streams, or other water bodies connected to the
Intracoastal Waterway. Such portions of the ICW and these
tributaries, streams, or other water bodies subject to this buffer
requirement shall be established by the presence of a Mean High
Water Line of the adjacent tributary, stream or other water body as
established in accordance with Chapter 177.26, Florida Statutes, and
such Mean High Water Line shall be depicted on all Site Plans,
proposed development plans, and other documents submitted for
review and permitting. The fifty (50) foot upland buffer shall be
measured from the St. Johns River Water Management District or
Florida Department of Environmental Protection Wetland
jurisdictional line.
Determinations of vested rights which may supersede the
requirement for this 50-foot buffer shall be made on a case-by-case
basis in accordance with the Land Development Regulations and
applicable Florida law.
(b) In the case of other natural wetland areas, which may not be directly
connected to Intracoastal related streams or waterways as described
above, but are part of the coastal marsh and estuarine system, a
natural vegetative upland buffer of twenty-five (25) feet shall be
required and maintained between development and adjacent
wetlands. Where required, such buffer shall be measured from the
jurisdictional wetland line as established by the appropriate
regulatory agency.
(c) With the exception of facilities to provide public access for the
recreational use of Intracoastal related natural resources, any buffers
as may be required by preceding paragraphs (a) or (b) shall be
maintained in a natural state with the exception of the clearing of
Understory Vegetation as defined by Chapter 23 of the City's
Municipal Code of Ordinances, and any such clearing shall be
approved by the City and if required, the appropriate State or Federal
agency prior to any form of clearing, alteration or disturbance of a
required buffer.
(d) Where remaining natural wetlands have been damaged or degraded
over time through previous development, storm events, improper
drainage runoff or other adverse activities, but where wetland
vegetation and habitat still are predominant in quantity on a proposed
development site, all plans submitted for review or permitting shall
demonstrate a plan for mitigation, restoration, enhancement or
recovery of jurisdictional wetlands. It is the express intent of the City
that no net loss of jurisdictional wetlands occur through any

Objective A.1.15
Military Compatibility and Coordination
with Naval Station Mayport
The Florida Legislature finds that incompatible development of land close to
military installations can adversely affect the ability of such an installation to carry
out its mission; that such development also threatens the public safety because of
possibility of accidents occurring within the areas surrounding the military
installation; that the economic vitality of a community is affected when military
operations and missions must relocate because of incompatible urban
encroachment; and that it is desirable for local governments to cooperate with
military installations to encourage compatible land use, help prevent incompatible
encroachment, and facilitate the continued presence of major military installations.
The City of Atlantic Beach, as a municipality in close proximity and with strong
cultural and economic ties to Naval Station Mayport, shall cooperate with the
military installation, shall coordinate on land use decisions that may affect the
mission of the military installation, and shall support development practices that
are compatible with the land uses of the military installation.
Policy A.1.15.1 The City of Atlantic Beach shall transmit to the Commanding Officer,
Naval Station Mayport, or his or her designee, information relating to
proposed changes to comprehensive plans, plan amendments, and
proposed changes to land development regulations, which, if approved,
would affect the intensity, density, or use of land in close proximity to the
military installation. At the request of the Commanding Officer, the City
of Atlantic Beach shall also transmit copies of applications for
development orders requesting a variance or waiver from height or
lighting restrictions or noise attenuation reduction requirements within
areas defined as being in a zone of influence of the military installation,
AGENDA ITEM# 3A
OCTOBER 26, 2015
2010-2020 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
as defined in Map A-6, Military Influence Zone, of the 2020
Comprehensive Plan Map Series. The Commanding Officer shall be
afforded adequate opportunity to review and comment on the proposed
changes prior to final action.
Policy A.1.15.2 The Commanding Officer, Naval Station Mayport, or his or her designee,
may provide advisory comments to the City of Atlantic Beach on the
impact of such proposed changes may have on the mission of the
military installation. Such advisory comments shall be based on
appropriate data and analysis provided with the comments and may
include:
(a) Whether such proposed changes will be compatible with the safety
and noise standards contained in the Air Installation Compatible Use
Zone (AICUZ) adopted by Naval Station Mayport for the on-premise
airfield; and
(b) Whether the military installation's mission will be adversely affected
by the proposed actions of the City of Atlantic Beach.
The Commanding Officer's comments, underlying studies, and reports
shall be considered by the City of Atlantic Beach in the same manner as
the comments received from other reviewing agencies pursuant to
§163.3184, Florida Statutes.
Policy A.1.15.3 The City of Atlantic Beach shall take into consideration any comments
and accompanying data and analysis provided by the Commanding
Officer or his or her designee, as they relate to the strategic mission of
the base, public safety, and the economic vitality associated with the
base's operations, while also respecting private property rights and not
being unduly restrictive on those rights. To this end, the City shall
promote development strategies that discourage incompatibility and
provide alternative means to preserve development rights, including the
following:
(a) In instances where these policies result in limitations on the ability of
the landowner to utilize their land pursuant to its current land use and
zoning designation, the City shall support land use map amendments
and rezoning to compatible uses.
(b) In instances where nonresidential uses that are consistent with
current land use and zoning designation, but incompatible with
military influence zones, are discontinued for a period of twelve
consecutive months or more, the City shall not allow those
nonresidential uses to be restarted under the land development
regulations.

(c) In instances where land within the military influence zone is proposed
for development, the City shall require techniques such as Planned
Unit Development or Special Planned Area zoning to cluster
development away from accident potential zones.
The City shall forward a copy of any comments regarding
comprehensive plan amendments to the state planning agency.
Policy A.1.15.4 The City of Atlantic Beach, in order to facilitate the exchange of
information and foster close coordination and communication, shall
maintain a representative appointed by the Commanding Officer, Naval
Station Mayport, as an ex officio, nonvoting member of the City's local
planning agency. The designated military representative shall be notified
of all meetings and provided copies of all agenda packets.
Policy A.1.15.5 The City of Atlantic Beach shall coordinate grant writing and
management efforts with Naval Station Mayport, and the Commanding
Officer is encouraged to provide information about any community
planning assistance grants that may be available to the City through
programs such as those of the Federal Office of Economic Adjustment
as incentive to participate in a joint planning process that would further
facilitate the compatibility of community planning and the activities and
mission of Naval Station Mayport.

In general, the major variances are created when the actual funds received-to-date are
different from the percentage of the budget elapsed-to-date. Highlighted variance explanations
follow:
Utility Fund has a positive variance of $301,933. The positive variance is a result of
receiving grant reimbursement in current year for prior year expenditures.
Pension Funds reflect, year to date negative variances to estimated revenue due to a
sharp decrease in market value based on the events effecting the global economy and all
investments worldwide. Year to date negative variance is $364,327 for Police Officers
and $346,263 for General Employees. In August alone the actual market values
decreased $440,583 for Police and $853,116 for the General Employees.

Analysis of Major Variances
In general, the major variances are a result of timing differences created between the percentage of budget
elapsed-to-date and actual expenditures. Highlighted variance explanations follow:
Public Safety reflected a $2,912,017 positive variance due primarily to the timing of capital expenditures
related to the new Public Safety building.
Public Works had a positive variance of $2,044,013. Most of the variance is the result of project activity
budgeted that has not been started/completed -see Project Activity Schedule.
Public Utilities had a positive variance of $2,610,141. Most of the variance is the result of project activity
budgeted that has not been started/completed -see Project Activity Schedule.
Capital Outlay had a positive variance of $4,828,882. Most of the capital and project expenditures occur
in the middle to latter part of the fiscal year.

Committee offered the opportunity to ask questions and the Committee responded to those questions.
3. Discuss and make recommendation regarding current alternate, Richard Lombardi, who is
interested in being appointed as a regular member to a term ending 9/30/18.
The Committee discussed the current board members and questioned how unexpired terms impact the
process for appointing members and their term limits. It was decided that Commissioner Hill would get
with the City Attorney at a later date to discuss that topic. Discussion ensued regarding appointing
Richard Lombardi as a regular member.

AGENDA ITEM #SA
OCTOBER 26, 2015
The Committee discussed the candidates and made the following recommendations:
Motion: Recommend appointing Kirk Hansen to serve as a regular member on the Code
Enforcement Board for the unexpired term ending 9/30/2017.
Moved by Hill, seconded by Brotman
Motion carried unanimously
Motion: Recommend appointing Lindsay Norman to serve as a regular member on the Code

for the term ending 9/30/2018.
Moved by Brotman, seconded by Hill
Motion carried unanimously
Dr. Brotman indicated that Richard Lombardi would be filling the unexpired term ending 9/30116. He
stated he believed that since you can only serve three 3-year terms, this would be an advantage with it
not being a full term and would let him serve up to 11 years total.
Motion: Barbara Childers and Kathryn Humphries should be asked whether they would consider
any other boards and they would both remain in the applicant pool but should attend at least one
board meeting in order to determine whether they are positive about serving the board before
considering them for appointment.
Moved by Hill, seconded by Brotman
Motion carried unanimously
Motion: The position of alternate for the Code Enforcement Board be held vacant and be
reconsidered in the future.
Moved by Brotman, seconded by Hill
Motion carried unanimously
The Committee discussed how they were handling the deferral of the two candidates. Commissioner
Hill recommended that the City Clerk send Barbara Childers and Kathryn Humphries a letter explaining
that 1) the Committee had concerns, 2) the (regular) positions were filled and 3) they have not been
excluded from future positions.
Commissioner Hill reiterated his concerns were based on experience and that they have not attended any
meetings. He explained he would like for them to go to one of the meetings, see the process and make
that commitment. He stated, although it is not a requirement, he believes it can be recommended to
them.
There was consensus from the Committee to approve the recommendation.
6. Other Business
None.
Adjournment
There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 6:46p.m.

Please explain any employment experience, board/committee experience, and/or community volunteer experience
relative to the board/committee applying for.
Currently retired and living at Reet Landing. Six careers ranging from college president, to international banker, to steel executive, to
appointee (under Ford, Carter, & Reagan) to research scientist. Have served on numerous community boards and committees including
covenant compliance, maintenance, and finance/audit for Kiawah Island, SC and Sawgrass (FL) Community Assocs. plus served on several
chambers of commerce In MT and MA, corporate boards of directors, and not-for-profit boards charged with comrmmity development
and technology transfer. Finally, I have also been statenocat representative to several local and international organizations charged with
major education/training programs and have been a management consultant to the UN, the Congress, and several other organizations.
Please provide a brief explanation of your interest or any special qualifications you have in this field and your reasons
for wishing to be appointed to this board/committee.
My primary interest in applying herewith is my belief that It is important to "give back" to one's local community. By serving on an
appropriate AUantic Beach local government committee, I think I can do that by making available my extensive experience to whatever
committee that could best use that expertise. Based on the summary committee descriptions provided, It appears to me that the
code compliance and/or development committees align most closely wtth many of my prior experiences. However, should there
is any interest in my services, I would welcome a conversation with appropriate person(s) to determine where I can best be of service.
Please note that I will be traveling out of the country from Sept. 7-24, 2015, and not available.

SUBMITTED BY: Jeremy Hubsch, Building and Zoning Director9JI
DATE: September 10,2015
STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: None
AGENDA ITEM #7A
OCTOBER 26, 2015
BACKGROUND: The City Commission has asked staff to look into strengthening buffers and
negative development impacts between incompatible uses in the City's Land Development
Regulations. The current buffer regulations in Section 24-177 (e) apply only to properties that
directly border each other. They do not include properties that have an intervening street between
them. The city has several areas where commercial or industrial zoning districts are adjacent to
residential zoning districts, but have a road between them. This occurs along West 14th Street,
Sturdivant Avenue, and Ahem Street. Staff came up with possible code changes and presented
those to the Community Development Board for recommendations.
There are three proposed code changes related to buffers and limiting negative development
impacts in proposed Ordinance 95-15-111.
1. Preventing curb cuts and rear building entryways in the portion of a double frontage
(through lot) lot that faces a residentially zoned area.
2. Requiring a lighting plan that shows minimal lighting is at the property line when a new
commercial or industrial development is adjacent to residential.
3. Requiring vehicle use areas (parking lots) of new projects to have a tree every 25 feet as
opposed to every 50 feet as the code currently reads.
The Community Development Board recommended approval ofthese three code changes by a
vote of 6-0 at the August 21st meeting.

Maintenance Bond Code

Building and Zoning Director 7 ' •
September 28, 2015
AGENDA ITEM# 7B
OCTOBER 26, 2015
Whenever the City accepts public improvements in a subdivision, Section 24-233 requires a
maintenance bond for 1 00% of the cost of improvements. The maintenance bond is to cover the
cost of accepted improvements for a year. It essentially acts as an insurance policy for the City
shall any construction defaults occur.
It has come to the City's attention during recent developments that requiring a 100%
maintenance bond is not in line with many other municipalities. CmTently, Atlantic Beach and
Jacksonville Beach are the only municipalities that require the full100%. Neptune Beach, St.
Johns County, Nassau County and Putnam County only require 15% ofthe cost of
improvements. Clay County and Flagler County require 10%. The City of Jacksonville is
negotiable.
Public Works Director Doug Layton believes that 15% is sufficient to cover the improvements
that the city accepts. The city reviews plans and conducts inspections on work that is accepted.
Mr. Layton believes it is unlikely that if there are constructions defects or issues, they will cost
the full 100% of the entire project to repair.
At the July 21st Community Development Board Meeting, the CDB voted 5-0 to recommend that
the City Commission reduce the required maintenance bond from 100% to 15%. Staff has
drafted a proposed ordinance which amends section 24-233 to reflect the CDB's
recommendation.

BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting to open a store for the retail sale of craft beer at IOII
Atlantic Boulevard. The store will feature 40 taps where customers can come in and sample up to six
one-ounce samples and then have a container (growler) filled for the customer to take home. The

Exception per Section 24-III ( c )(3 ), which states one is needed for, "on-premises consumption of

The proposed store is located within the LA Fitness shopping center, which includes a few restaurants
that currently serve beer, wine, and liquor. The closest residential propetties are townhomes located in
the rear of the shopping center along Cavalla Road. The shopping center cuiTently has more than

unit is maintained by prope1iy management, including trash. The applicant has stated their hours of
operation would be approximately II AM to II PM. Section 3-2(a) of the city code prohibits the sale of

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION.
a. Describe in detail the activity or work to be conducted; include project location information. (15 pts.)
As an important element of the City of Atlantic Beach's comprehensive effort to provide orderly,
sustainable and enhanced public access, passive recreation, and environmental/ecological education
opportunities and management for the Marsh Preserves (Dutton Island, River Branch and Tideviews
preserves), we are seeking to acquire a critical piece of land from a private owner to substantially improve
public access to the Tideviews preserve and thereby the entire Marsh system. The specific parcel of land is
referred to as the Bennett Property.
Please refer to the Maps below for the location of the Marsh Preserves and for the location of the parcel to
be acquired.
The Bennett Property's physical location is at Camelia Street and West 3rd Street backing up to the
Tideview Preserve.
The primary purpose of this grant request is to provide much improved and enhanced public access to the
entire Marsh Preserve system. However, an added benefit is protecting the property from future potential
development, which would be harmful to the water quality of the Marsh.
The future proposed development would include pedestrian and bike walkways providing direct and easy
access for the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods across the Bennett Property to the Tideview
Preserve which opens up the entire Marsh Preserves system. Therefore, the Bennett Property provides new
access to the extensive system of boardwalks and walkways newly constructed and currently being
implemented as outlined in the Marsh Preserves Master Plan. Also, the property will provide up to 30-35
parking spaces to accommodate the other citizens of Atlantic Beach, all of Duval County and the numerous
tourists and visitors to our area.
The structure on the property (currently a private residence) will initially be maintained as a security and
storage facility to serve the entire Marsh Preserves. Its future use may include a small community education
center for the Marsh Preserves. Its final utilization will require further study and analysis.
The property is currently in a foreclosure/short sale process with a willing seller and willing Lender. A
final negotiated price has not been determined but the amount all parties have discussed and believe to be a
fair price is $200,000. Additional discussions will occur in the coming weeks now that the City Commission
has adopted the staff recommendation to proceed with the acquisition.
The City of Atlantic Beach is requesting a grant from the Coastal Partnerships Initiative for $30,000
towards the total cost of $200,000 which represents a 15% grant, 85% local cash match request. Any cost
adjustments with be borne by the City of Atlantic Beach.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Partnership between a Florida local government and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection through the Coastal Partnerships Initiative Grant Program.

City acquired the property, now known as the Ri ver Branch Preserve, with the assistance of a donation from
the Ri ver Branch Fo undati on a nd the N011 h Florida Land Trusl.
One o f th e primary purposes for the Ri ver Branch acquis iti o n was to inc rease public access to the marsh,
Intracoas tal Waterway a nd other natu ra l areas for resource-based recreati on. The additi on of the Rive r
Branch Preserve increased th e C ity's parkland but not necessarily public access .
To address this iss ue of enhanced public access th e Ci ty o f Atlantic Beach engaged the services of a
Co nsu ltant Team in 20 11 to deve lop a Marsh Preserves Master Pla11. T he Co nsult ant Tea m incl ud ed CPH
E ng ineers, Tn c, HHI Design, a nd Tay lor Engineerin g, Inc. The total Marsh Preser ves Sys tem in clud es 385
ac res of tidal marsh a nd associa ted uplan ds wit hin th e jurisdi c tion of the C ity. The March Preserves is
lo cated n orth of Atlantic Boulevard Intra-c oastA l Waterway Bridge and includes th e Duttonls land, River
Branch , ao d Tideviews Preserves . The Consult ant Team perfo rm ed inspections of the lands primarily by
wa lking and kayaking. Ve hicular and bike access was eva luated to detennine im provements to the overall
access and awareness. T be Consult ant Team completed th eir report the Marsh Preserves Master Plan and
th e Ci ty Commissio n adopted i t in April 2012. T he Guiding Princip les of th e Master Plan are as fo llo ws:
Guiding Principles
Decisions re lated to the future development of facilities, uses a nd management of the
Marsh Preserves shall be guided by the following .
• The City of Atlantic Beach will mainta in the Marsh Preserves (Dutton Island , Tidevlews
and River Branch) as passive and natural recreation areas and shall expand opportunities
for public access to the Intracoastal Waterway, and associated creeks and marshes for
recreational activities that have limited Impact on these resources.
• The City will manage the Marsh Preserves In a manner that reflects the use of
sustainable and best practices to protec t the area's natural resources from degradation
and overuse.
• Facilities to be developed and maintained by the City will be limited to those that
su ppor t fishing, canoeing and kayaking, biking, hiking and exercise trails, picnicking and
camping areas and other similar natural resource-based recreation activities such as
natural/environmental and cu ltural/h eritage facilitie s, programs and activities.
• While It is agreed that protection of the coasta l marsh environment is the priority,
providing for the public's use and e nj oyment of these resources, in addition to
environmental education, is ne eded to guarantee the long-term commitment to th e
management and maintenance of these natural areas ,
• For the Marsh Preserves Master Plan to be viabl e, the public must understand the va lu e
of committing needed budget res o urces t o these areas. As s uch , the City must identify
and pr ovide fa cilities and locations that encourage use and en joyment of the mar sh
re sour ces in a similar manner as the beach. While the City doe s not expect or des ir e the
Marsh Preserves to be used as intensely as the beach, these re sources offer similar
opportunities to be near the water and to experience nature at its best.
The Pl a nnin g Object ives are as fo ll ows:

Form 628-4.004, FA C, Ej]cclil •e 912110
Planning Objectives
• The Marsh Pre serves Master Plan process will evaluate the need for environmental
conservation, management and education, In addition to providing passive/resource-
based recreation opportunities.
• The planning process wi ll Include a citizen and stakeholder outreach program to Inform,
encourage participation and build com munity support for the Implementation of this
Master Plan .
AGENDA ITEM 118C
OCTOBER 26,21115
• Pl anned improvements, activities and programs will be id entified that Increase public
access, awareness and appreciation of the Marsh Preserves' environmental systems and
the City's cultural heritage.
• Public access and recreationa l opportunities will be Implemented in a manner that
supports and furthers environmenta l lands management standards and objectives.
• Passive and/or resourced-based r ecreation facilities, activities and programs will be
implemented in a manner that comp lements and maintains the character and beauty of
the Marsh Preserves.
• Maintenance and management activities will be Identified for the Marsh Preserves
natural r esources and park amenities.
• Con nectivity t o the Marsh Preserves from surrounding land uses and other public lands
will be enhanced through such methods as wayfinding slgnage, walkways, boardwalks,
trails, overlooks (land and water based) and view sheds.
• The recommended phased cap ital improvement program will be financially feasible to
build and maintain.
• The Marsh Preserves Master Plan will i dentify strategies to obtain traditional and
alternative funding programs and partnerships to support plan Implementation.
Our proposed project is directly on target with nearly ALL of the Guiding Princ ipl es and Program
Objectives as art icul ated in th e excerpts above from the Master Plan .
Fishing, hikin g and biking. canoeing, kayaking , and nature observation were consistent theme s vociced
during the Public Part icipa tion process of the preparation of the Master Plan . The project which received the
mo st interest from the public was for trail s and boardwalks to co ru1ee1 the Tideview Pre serve with the Dutton
Is land Preserve.
The Bennett Property acquisition allow s the genera l public to ha ve eas y and quick access to the enti re
Mars h Preserve Sys tem.

b. Explain how the proposed project meets the purpose of at least one CPI priority area. (10 pts.)
The CPI Priority Area of Access to Coastal Resources through land acquisition is directly on target with
the proposed project. We intent to acquire a parcel ofland which directly adjoins the Marsh Preserves and
provides for a unique access point for the neighboring residents to the entire March Preserve due to the
extensive system of boardwalks and walkways, kayaks launch facilities, fishing sites, etc. In addition the
development of the newly acquired site will allow for public parking for the entire City, County at large and
our numerous tourists and visitors to the area.
The newly constructed 800 liner foot Sunset Pier is located some distance from existing parking areas. A
canoe/kayak drop-off was designated along the existing West 1st Street right of way to reduce the carrying
distance. A new public assess point at the Bennett Property will shorten the overall distance to the Sunset
Pier launch but will provide ADA access to the Sunset Pier.
Improvements to the Marsh Preserves trails, boardwalk, canoe/kayak, fishing and overlooks will be
substantially enhanced by the easy, convenient public access the Bennett Property will provide!
c. Discuss the extent to which the project will improve the management and protection of coastal resources.

The City of Atlantic Beach contains 365 of Intracoastal Waterway marshes located in three protected
preserve areas, Dutton Island, Tideviews and River Branch. These are collectively referred to herein as the
"Marsh Preserves." These areas with activities were acquired and have been set aside to remain as passive
and natural recreation areas with activities that have limited impact on these resources. Existing recreation
uses are those that are customarily described as passive in nature including, but not limited to, hiking and
biking, canoeing, kayaking, nature observation and camping.
The Marsh Preserves is part of the Northeast Florida Blueway project and the Jacksonville Greenway
Network. It is also part of the final leg of the Florida Circurnnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail, a 1,515
mile trail that follows the Florida coastal shoreline. The Marsh Preserves offer the public the enjoyment of
the saltwater marsh, pine flatwood forests, live oak, magnolia and water oak forests, and resource-based
recreation facilities. The creation of the preserves has protected a large land area of the undeveloped
wilderness within the urban landscape along the Intracoastal Waterway including saltwater marshes, which
are the most productive ecosystems on earth. The Marsh Preserves offer numerous recreational and
educational opportunities for all ages to learn more about the area's history, the preserves' environmental
systems and its management.
There are numerous opportunities to maintain and improve the Marsh Preserves' natural resources such as
preparation of a schedule to conduct land management of the natural resources, restoration of spoil areas,
expand/improve park facilities and preparation of a routine maintenance schedule. There are many park
facilities improvements which should be evaluated to add or improve existing facilities. Facility additions
and improvements will help direct users and enhance the user experience.
All future uses should be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Objective 1.5-Coastal
Management/Conservation Element, Objective 3.4-Coastal Management/Conservation Element and Policy
3.2.6 Coastal Management/Conservation Element.
In the Tideview Preserve, which the Bennett Property adjoins, the City has recently completed the
construction of the 800 linear foot Sunset Pier, identified on the Master Plan as a new boardwalk/fishing pier
that provides public access to deeper water for launching a kayak/canoe. The addition of this wonderful

amenity has increased public demand for easy access to the Tideviews Preserve. The Marsh Preserve
Master Plan which was prepared in conjunction with the North Florida Land Trust, who along with the
River Branch Foundation donated hundreds of acres of the River Branch Preserve to the City, is essentially a
Management Plan for the care and protection of the entire Marsh Preserve System, all365 acres of it within
the City's jurisdictional limits.
The preservation and management of this incredible natural resources system is of utmost importance to
the City leaders.
The intent of the purchase of the Bennett Property is to continue to improve public access to these
passive recreational lands and to ensure no new development will occur on the edge of thls critical
surface water body.
d. Discuss how project is feasible and can be completed within one year. (10 Pts.)
The project is not complex since it is a direct acquisition by the City of Atlantic Beach from a willing seller
and willing Lender (in the beginning stages of a Short Sale process). We believe the entire transaction can
be accomplished with 90-120 days from Grant Award.
