3. Unfinished Business from Previous Meetings
A. Eagle Scout Project to install a permanent T-ball outfield fence at Russell Park.
Director of Recreation Programs and Special Events Timmy Johnson explained the request submitted by Boy
Scout Mason Dudley to construct a permanent outfield fence for T-Ball players in Russell Park. He
introduced Mason Dudley and Travis Stratmann. Mason Dudley, 4215 Chesapeake Drive E., Jacksonville,
explained his project. Travis Stratmann, 12225 High Laurel Drive, Jacksonville, President of Atlantic Beach
Athletic Association (ABAA), explained the background of the request and spoke in support of the project.
Mr. Dudley gave a slide presentation of the project, explaining each slide. He also answered questions that
were previously asked at the last Commission meeting. Discussion ensued.
Motion: Accept Mr. Dudley's proposal and move forward with building the fence on the T -ball field at
Jack Russell Park.
Moved by Stinson, Seconded by Harding
Commissioner Hill expressed concern about the fence removing access to that area of the park, stating he
would be in favor of a temporary fence. Further discussion ensued. Mayor Reeves stated he supports it
because he doesn't believe the fence constricts since it is still available for others to use. He stated he also
supports Eagle Scouts and this is a project Mason is going to take on, raise the money and build it. He stated
he saw nothing against this in the staff report but they did want it to be the green vinyl fencing. He also
commended the City Manager and Timmy Johnson, stating this is the best condition he has ever seen the park
m.
Commissioner Stinson stated in his attempt to be brief with his motion he neglected to include the three
conditions in staff's recommendation and would like to amend the motion to include these conditions.
Motion: Amend to add the conditions: 1. The field is to be open for use by all when not in use by T-
ball. 2. Public Works will handle locates, permitting and inspection. 3. The fence will be vinyl coated
to match the newly installed fence on "A" field.
Moved by Stinson, Seconded by Harding
Commissioner Stinson asked Mr. Johnson if it was his recommendation that the Commission approve this
proposal. Mr. Johnson stated it was his recommendation for the Commission to consider and then it was up
to the Commission to approve or deny. Commissioner Stinson asked if he believes that the construction of
the fence will inhibit use ofthe field by other sports and activities. Mr. Johnson stated when baseball or T-
ball is going on, no one else can use the facilities anyway because the little children are out there playing and
he does not believe it will restrict soccer, but it will limit the amount of space they use for the camp out.

AGENDA ITEM #lA

Commissioner Hill asked if Mr. Johnson believes the fence will change the use pattern of older children using
the same field for pick-up ball. Mr. Johnson stated that is correct. Further discussion ensued.
Mayor Reeves called for a vote on the motion as amended.
Roll Call Votes:
Aye: 4 -Hill, Stinson, Harding, Reeves
Nay: 0
MOTION CARRIED
B. Public Hearing -Request for a Waiver from City Code Section 24-272 -Environmental
assessment and protection of wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas to allow
development within the 25-foot upland buffer and to allow offsite wetland mitigation (980 W.
141h St.).
Interim Public Works Director Kayle Moore stated he has been in contact with the applicant and they have a
piece of property they believe they may be able to do some work on for wetland mitigation within the City
but they don't have a plan in place yet. He asked that this item be deferred until May 23.
City Attorney Durden stated the Mayor should open the Public Hearing and after anyone who wishes to speak
the Mayor could then entertain a motion to defer.
Mayor Reeves opened the Public Hearing.
Maria Mark, 1148 Linkside Dr., stated they don't want to set a precedent here of waiving any kind of
wetlands mitigation; however, she believes the City needs to look at setting aside an area in A~lantic Beach
within the City limits that would allow for wetlands mitigation that meets the 12-step requirements that the
Water Management District and Army Corp of Engineers requires in order for true mitigation to occur, since
they are the ones pushing for purchasing mitigation bank credits. She stated under the City's ordinance,
because it is so restrictive, it is not fairly allowing property owners to either mitigate onsite or to do any
mitigation within the City limits. She stated she would strongly encourage the Commission and Planning
Department to really look at that as an alternative so they don't have to waive wetlands mitigation.
Cheryl Vonn, 1209 W. Plaza, stated the Property Appraiser has this property classified as jurisdictional
wetlands. She stated the property is on the edge of the intracoastal and everything between it and the
intracoastal is marsh grass. She stated she believes that is a good filtering system and doesn't want anyone to
think that it is not important because it is important to the quality of the water, which is why they have these
rules to protect the wetlands. She stated if they keep giving permits to build right up to the edge, you don't
have any filter system to protect it. She asked that they consider carefully when they start encroaching on the
wetlands and start allowing people to build on it.
Motion: Defer item and continue the Public Hearing to May 23.
Moved by Hill, Seconded by Harding
Commissioner Stinson stated they considered this at the March 28 Commission meeting and the Public
Hearing was set at that time. He stated he is against pushing this farther down the road; the proposal as
written here is completely contradictory to our Codes and Ordinances and he is not sure why they are going
to address this later.
April25, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM #lA
MAY9,2016

Mayor Reeves stated his concern is whether the applicant was told not to be here tonight because they were
going to defer this. Mr. Moore stated Mr. Martin was not told to not be here but he was in agreement with
deferring. Mayor Reeves stated although Mr. Martin said he would buy the lot behind him for mitigation
within the City limits, his concern is that it doesn't give 100%. Mr. Moore stated he has not seen or worked
with him to develop a fmal mitigation plan and the information he has is very preliminary. He stated because
they don't have a set plan, they don't have a clear method for someone to create a certain amount of wetland
and preserve/enhance wetland consistent with the 12 steps, so it would take some time to work out. He stated
he does not have the knowledge/experience to say that they would not be able to mitigate within the City
without looking at their fmal survey of that other site and seeing what they propose as a plan to
preserve/enhance/restore. Discussion ensued. Mayor Reeves expressed concern that this has already been
postponed once and they are talking about postponing it again and the applicant is not here.
Commissioner Hill asked if they deny this application tonight, can the applicant reapply? Ms. Durden
explained it is not unusual to have a public hearing and for new information to be presented and the applicant
to request a continuance of the public hearing to a date certain. She stated at the last meeting, there was a lot
of feedback from the Commission to the applicant which may be the basis for receiving the information
today. She stated they have already advertised the public hearing and the public hearing, under those
circumstances should be opened. She stated it is the Commission's prerogative to go forth and deny the
application request if that is what they choose. She stated they could also approve it or they could continue
the hearing until a date certain. She stated the answer to Commissioner Hill's question, with variances it is
quite often that there would have to be a substantial change to the application and there is usually a period of
one year. She stated she doesn't recall if there is a specific provision for waivers with that timeframe. She
stated if it was denied, if there was a timeframe, then the applicant would either have to change the
application, which it sounds like they are already proposing to do, or they could wait for the specific period of
time. Commissioner Hill stated he believes the applicant wasn't able to meet the requirements toqay and they
have scheduled a hearing and a decision was to be made or at least move forward. Mayor Reeves stated his
original motion is to defer, so if he is debating negative to his motion he has to change his motion, because
you can't go negative on your own motion. Commissioner Hill stated that was what he was intending to do.
He stated he concurs with Commissioner Stinson but before he does that he needs to know if the applicant is
restricted by time, which is the reason he hasn't corrected his motion. Building and Zoning Director Jeremy
Hubsch stated our Code does have a one-year requirement for variances, but there is nothing in the waiver
section that has a date on it.
Commissioner Hill withdrew his motion. Commissioner Harding withdrew his second.
Motion: Deny the reguested waiver to City Code Section 24-272.
Moved by Stinson, Seconded by Harding
Commissioner Harding stated the applicant had led him to believe that he had already made the decision to
mitigate on the adjoining property to the south of his property, but now from what he is gathering, that was
never proposed to the City. Mr. Moore stated it was proposed to the City but they need to see the plan, the
numbers, etc. and that takes a little time to develop. He stated they have not received that information and
been able to review it in order to communicate that to the Commission.
Commissioner Hill stated he wanted to confirm that this applicant will have an opportunity to come back
before the City if they come up with a way to mitigate this wetland situation internally and meet our Codes
and our action tonight won't restrict them to a one-year timeframe. Mr. Moore stated yes and City Attorney
Durden agreed.

Chief Michael Deal explained his staff report gives the details of the history of the proposed renovation of the
police building. He stated the City contracted with CRA to design the building on the existing site after
which they contracted with Auld & White to manage the project. He introduced Nathan Marty and Paul
Hoffman from Auld & White who were in the audience to answer questions. He further explained in detail
the various items added to the scope of the project and the alternatives/amendments to the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, stating the total price of the building is now $3.5 million.

Commissioner Hill reiterated this is a step in a process that he believes is encouraging a project along that he
does not believe is a fit for that piece of property. He stated they are making some pretty extreme
adjustments and doing some very creative use of City land in a way that he is not comfortable with and he is
not in favor of this.
Mayor Reeves stated he believes the Brownfield opportunity this offers is a great opportunity for any City to
be able to clean up some land. He asked Mr. Hubsch if the Commission approves this do they still have to go
through the Community Development Board. Mr. Hubsch stated they would only need to go through the
Community Development Board if they need a variance or can't meet Code standards.
Commissioner Stinson asked Mr. Hubsch about the 58% impervious coverage, which was allowed by Code
because it was considered commercial. He asked if this meets the definition of commercial because it is
actually residential in nature. Mr. Hubsch explained it would be a residential use but it is within the
Commercial General Zoning District and that zoning district allows up to 70% regardless of whether it is
office, residential, or commercial.

April 25, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page9
8. Miscellaneous Business (Discussion only)
A. Request from Fleet Landing for a Proposed Amendment to Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
Mr. VanLiere stated this is the request from Fleet Landing they heard at the last meeting and Josh Ashby is
here tonight.
City Attorney Durden stated the only thing that is new in their agenda packets, as compared to what was in
the packet for the last meeting, are the three surveys. She explained each survey. She clarified there is no
actual legal description for the 4.5 acre island area; however, it is contained within parcel 2. She stated they
will get a release from the Estates, pretty much in line with the one that has been proposed already and was
included in the packet last time. She stated in order to address the other issue, they will have a separate
agreement, the Right of First Refusal, between the Fleet Landing entity and the City of Atlantic Beach. She
stated she was also asked to look at the issue about whether or not there is any way to describe the
development that is going to occur on parcel 2. She stated she believes they can use a simple description
utilizing the RMD land use category from the City of Jacksonville. She stated there is a small part of parcel 2
that is located within the City of Atlantic Beach and for that part they may have a separate provision so no
building located within that portion ofparcel2 would be higher than 35ft. She stated she has also asked for a
certificate from the surveyor certifying that the property that is described in parcels 1, 2, and 3 is also the
same property that is described in the declaration of restrictive covenant.
Commissioner Hill asked the City Attorney for more detail on the effect it could have on our deal if Fleet
Landing did not get a permit through the City of Jacksonville. He also asked for a report on the restrictions
and usability of the existing gate at 201h Street.
Commissioner Stinson asked Mr. Ashby to further explain the plat of parcel 2. Joshua Ashby, One Fleet
Landing Blvd., Chief Executive Officer of Fleet Landing, explained this and answered further questions.
Discussion ensued.
It was the consensus of the Commission to move this item forward to the next meeting for action.

Fl eet Land ing, in conjunction with a gro up of Ocean Walk property own ers, has agreed in-
principal to purch ase the Estates of Atlantic Beac h property tota ling 3 2 .1 acres of land located
in the City of Jacksonville immediately adjacent to the Fleet Landing cam pu s (exhibit 1). As a
condition to closing, the Ocean Walk litigants currently contesting owners hip of th e ShetTy
Drive ri ght-of-way will dismiss the ir lawsuit with prejudice and a lon g with their n e ig hbors
purchase h a lf of the right-of-way immediately adj acent to t heir properties. This effect ively w ill
end the dispute concerning ownership of the Sherry Drive r ight-of-way and will prevent
development of the eastern p orti on of th e Estates prope rty.
Fleet Landing has agreed to purchase the remaining 30 acres of land, of w hich app rox imately
4.5 acres referred to as the "Island Area", immedi ate ly adj acent to F leet Landin g is suitable for
development. T he r emainde r of the property is wetlands a nd will remain undis turbed .
In 2009, the Es ta tes of Atlantic Beach executed a Declaration of R estri ctive Covenants as part
of an agreement with the Cit y of Atlantic Beach (exhib it 2). These r estrictive covenants im pa ir
our ability to develop the p roperty to a d en sity s ufficient enou gh to justify purchasing the entire
property. For this reason, we respectfully request that the Ci t y of Atlantic Beach amend th ese
restrictive covenants to a ll ow us to develop the 4 .5 acres of land imme diately a dj acent to Fleet
La ndin g unde r t he existing zoning of Residenti a l Medium D ens ity. A sampl e Amendment to the
Declaration of Restrictive Covenant s is included fo r your con s ideration (ex hibit 3).
Fleet Landing intends to deve lop mult i-family hou sing fo r seni ors cons is tent with the s ize and
s tyl e of existing s tructures found on our campus today. It is imp01iant to note that F leet
Landing's proposed development would limit veh icu lar traffi c to one of th e three established
means of access ing the F l eet Landing ca mpu s. No new access or th oroughfa re is being sought.

The Estates of Atlantic Beach parcel has a complicated history and we have worked for almost
four years to develop a plan amenable to all parties. I genuinely believe we have created a
solution that is in the best interest of the City, our neighbors, and Fleet Landing.
I look forward to discussing this request with the Commission on Aprilll, 2016.
Warm regards,

AGENDA ITEMS# 4B
MAY9,2016
Staff is requesting authorization to have Langton Associates submit a
Cultural Facilities Program Grant through the State Division of Cultural
Affairs. With authorization from the City Commission, an application
will be submitted to seek funding for renovations at Adele Grage
Cultural Center. Specifically, staff would like to upgrade the sound and
seating in the theater, improve the window treatments and stage,
create a small storage facility, and add lighting in the park. The total
project cost is approximately $150,000. The grant request is for
$75,000 and the city would match with $75,000 in-kind service and
cash.
The Cultural Facilities Program coordinates and guides the State of
Florida's support and funding of renovation, new construction, or
acquisition of cultural facilities. A cultural facility is a building which
shall be used for the programming, production, presentation exhibition
of any of the arts and cultural disciplines. Including music, dance,
theatre, creative writing, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture,
folk arts, photography, crafts, media arts, visual arts, and programs of
museums.
At least 25% ($37,500) ofthe required match must be cash-an-hand,
dedicated to the project and made available within 90 days of state
grant funding notification.
Authorize staff to prepare and submit a Cultural Facilities Program Grant
through the Division of Cultural Affairs for Adele Grage Improvements.

A GENOA ITEM # 7B
MAY9,2016
Ordin ance 45-16-22 had initia l and seco nd read in gs at the March 14th and March 28 th meetin gs,
respect ive ly. At the request of th e City Mange r, this agenda item was deferred in ord er to be rev ised
lo include Chap ter 18 Solicitations.
Tn an effort to streamlin e operation s of th e C ity to co ntinu a ll y do more w ith fewer reso urces, l am
pro po sin g a s hift in responsibilities of the dail y duti es of man ag in g Soli cit a ti ons and Bu si ness Tax
Receipts from the Ci ty Clerk to the C ity Manager, more specifica lly to the Finance Dcpa rtm enl [n
my opini o n, the j ob du1ics a re bette r s uited for th e Finance Department than fo r the Clerk 's Oftice
due to th e nature of th e dut ies . Reason s tbr thi s chan ge arc hi ghli ghted bel ow:
1. One of th e most significant reaso ns to impl emen t a change is tha t alth oug h the code indi cates
th at the Clerk's Office is respo ns ibl e, a s ignificant portion of th e work is not s up ervi sed by the
C lerk . The zo ning ap prova ls, inspec ti o ns and th e co ll ection of the fees are a ll perfo rm ed by oth er
depar tm en ts. \Vh en pr obl ems arise, th e Clerk has no authority over the per so ns o utside her
department pe rformin g the tas ks. There should be one person responsi bl e for the to tal pr ocess to
AGENDA ITEM# 7B
MAY9,2016
insure that the treatment of customers is unifmm and consistent, the fees are applied correctly and
the inspections are performed timely.
2. According to the Clerk, the Clerk's Office has been experiencing great difficulty performing
this function at a front counter, taking up much needed time that should be devoted to records
management. The Clerk has repeatedly brought it to my attention that her Records Clerk has
difficulty working on records with the interruptions of the front counter. Moving the Solicitation
and Business Tax Receipt functions across the hall should alleviate some of this pressure. The
Record's Clerk would be better utilized assisting the City Clerk with public records requests and
processing records that need to be scanned and indexed for future reference.
3. The Finance Department already processes tax receipt payments, the Building and Planning
Department perfmms a zoning review and the Building Official coordinates any inspections that
need to be done. The Finance Department has front counter support and is capable of performing the
remaining required procedures of taking the applications and verifying once trained.
4. The software that the Clerk's Office has been using has proven to be troublesome and time
consuming. The software will be upgraded in the near future and will require many hours of
training. By transferring these duties now, the Finance Department will have time to train and
migrate to the new software and unburden the Clerk's Office with this responsibility. Finance
personnel have more resources to go through the conversion and get the programs running smoothly.
They will have the support of the Finance Director and two Accountants and a Billing Specialist.
Having people trained and cross trained should make the process work more efficiently. This will
also limit the need for the Clerk's Office to spend resources on the City's integrated software except
for requisition input.
5. When there is a critical function in a small department and only the person assigned the task
knows how to perfmm the task or has time to perform the tasks and that person leaves employment,
it puts the City in a difficult position to recover, especially when the process is complicated and
involves specific software. These types of duties would be better off with a pool of employees that
are familiar with the program.
6. This code revision also removes language that requires the City Clerk to cut off water
services to those businesses that do not pay by January 31st. The City Clerk has never enforced this
section of the code. The business may be closed for non-payment, but utilities may need to remain
on if paid for.
7. This revision of the code also clarifies the dates for half-year tax receipts and removes the
provision that asks for hardship consideration before a partial year tax receipt would be given. This
· is not a necessary provision when partial year receipts are allowed. Declaring a hardship is very
subjective and difficult to apply.
For these reasons, the transfer of the responsibility of managing Solicitations and Business Tax
Receipts from the City Clerk to the City Manager or his designee by amending Section 18 of
Chapter 18 and Section 20 of Chapter 20, Article III, of The Atlantic Beach Code of Ordinances
would be in the best interest of the City.

WHEREAS, the City Clerk is currently assigned the duties related to the management of
solicitations and the issuance and renewal ofbusiness tax receipts and is accomplishing this task
with the support of a records clerk; and,
WHEREAS, there are significant records of the City that have not been scanned and
