PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT CORNER OF ATLANTIC & AQUATIC
Developer: TriBridge Residential, developer of BluWater Apartments in Jacksonville
Beach (former George Moore Chevrolet property)
Plan of Development: 23 "market- rate" rental townhornes; 2 and 3 story units with 2 car
garages; same architectural and design standards as BluWater.
The existing site contains a layer of household trash and debris that will have to be
removed in order to build the project. The developer intends to work with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection to enroll the property in the Florida Brownfields
Program. The clean -up of the site will require that the existing trees be removed in order to
correctly remediate the site.
Development will comply with the existing zoning district permitted uses and density, all
of the development standards of the Land Development Code and the 35' height limit. The
project will also comply with Chapter 23 Protection of Trees and Native Vegetation of the City
Municipal Code by a combination of re- planting of trees from the City of Atlantic Beach
Recommended Tree List on the developed property and on the Dog Park retention pond along
with purchasing credits from the City of Atlantic Beach tree mitigation fund.
Proposed enhancements to adjacent City Dog Park
• Conveyance of land to the City of Atlantic Beach for expanded pond and
recreation path (area shown in green on attached aerial) within one year of the
completion of the project. The completion of the project is defined as the point in
time at which the owner has obtained all Certificates of Occupancy for the project
and all required approvals from the various departments that oversee new
construction projects within the City of Atlantic Beach or any governing entity
that has jurisdiction over the project.
As a part of the conveyance of land, the City of Atlantic Beach will agree to sign
and grant the following easements to the developer::
Perpetual Drainage Easement for the right to drain into the modified
retention pond. This easement will include the maintenance of the
pond and include access rights for the owner to the pond and dog park
for maintenance activities.

• Enlargement of the city owned and maintained retention pond immediately
adjacent to the proposed development site for additional stormwater capacity for
the Aquatic Gardens area of Atlantic Beach. The modifications to the existing
pond will create approximately 3,053 Cubic Yards of additional volume at a water
elevation of 7; of this capacity, approximately one -third of the additional storage
is above and beyond the required capacity for our site.
• As a part of the enlargement of the pond, the existing pedestrian area on the
southern and eastern sides of the pond will be lowered to make them closer to the
normal water level of the pond. The City of Atlantic Beach and the developer
both acknowledge that during a significant rain event, the pond will rise over this
modified pedestrian area to create additional storage volume for the pond.
• The existing maintenance easement around the southern and eastern portion of the
pond will be located within the pedestrian area of the pond as coordinated with
SJRWMD.
• Appropriate grass and tree materials will be planted on the southern and eastern
portions of the pond within the pedestrian area. The pedestrian walkway will be
grass. The developer will work with the City of Atlantic Beach to determine the
correct tree species to plant in this area of the dog park.
• Construction of a 12' by 12' cabana for shade, rain cover, etc. with the existing
footprint of the dog park. The construction of the cabana will be of standard
construction techniques and utilize masonry and wood frame construction.
• All improvements outlined in this document are to be funded by developer.
Additional benefits to City
• Projected property tax revenue to the City will be approximately 8 times the
existing assessed value.
• Complete remediation of existing site contamination from former unpermitted
solid waste dump.
• Creation of delineated on- street parking on Aquatic Drive as overflow parking for
Dog Park.
• Construction of side walk on Aquatic Drive from intersection with Atlantic
Boulevard to the Dog Park.
