Parsons City Attorney Alan C. Jensen Commissioner Sylvia N. Simmons Commissioner J. Dezmond Waters III Call to Order/Pledge Mayor Meserve called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. The Invocation given by the Mayor, was followed by The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Approval of Minutes 1. Approval of the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 28, ' 2004 Motion: Approve Minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 28,2004 as presented. Moved by Waters, seconded by Simmons ' Votes: Aye: 5—Beaver, Parsons, Simmons,Waters, Meserve Nay: 0 MOTION CARRIED Courtesy of the Floor 2. Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors A. Presentation of Superior Achievement Award to Jack Baldwin and Paul Paloti ' It was reported that Jack Baldwin and Paul Paloti designed, fabricated and installed the new walkway guardrails at the City Hall complex, which saved the city approximately$35,000. Mayor Meserve commended Messrs. Baldwin and Paloti for their work and ' presented Mr. Paloti with a check for his share of the employee award. Mr. Baldwin was not present to receive his award. ' Mr. Paloti thanked the Commissioners for implementing the Superior Achievement Award Program and stated that he was happy that Mr. Baldwin and he could save the taxpayers of Atlantic Beach some money. 1 I ' July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 2 Pat Pillmore of 995 Camelia Street commented on the proposed water rate ' increase and felt the city should educate its citizens to conserve water,but if the city needed additional revenues it should say so. She also felt that if the city changed a sign from "No U-Turns"to "No Turns" a warning for a violation should be issued before a ticket. Scott Shine of 4390 Richmond Park Drive,Jacksonville, representing the ' Surf Riders organization, stated that he was opposed to the city's proposed leasing of any beach access parking spaces (Item 6B), and requested that no ' leases be signed until parity is reached with the spaces gained. Harold Brodeur of 1965 Sevilla Boulevard West opposed the ' construction of high-rise condominiums on Johnston Island as not fitting the residential character of the city (Items 7C and 7D). He also urged the preservation of the marshlands. ' James Fletcher of 340 Garden Lane opposed construction of condominiums on Johnston Island as being in violation of the city's ' Comprehensive Plan. He also expressed concern for increased traffic in a high hazard area needed for hurricane evacuation and the need to conserve "blueways." Mr. Fletcher stated he did not want a condominium built higher than the bridge at the entryway to the city. He then inquired if any compromises had been reached with the developers since the first presentation, and if not, suggested that lowering the height,providing public ' access to water from the site, and requiring that the development reflect the character of Atlantic Beach, be considered. ' Sally Clemens of 1638 Park Terrace West believed the city was sending conflicting messages when tree plantings and beautification projects were being promoted, but consideration was being given to change Conservation Lands to medium density,Residential and General Commercial (Item 7C). She believed the city should purchase the Johnston Island property and maintain it as a recreational area for the citizens of Atlantic Beach. Alan Potter of 374 2"a Street stated he was opposed to the proposed condominium development on Johnston Island. He also expressed opposition to the proposed water/sewer rate increase, which would provide a 7.17% increase in revenues to the city. He believed the reduced consumption, which equated to less water being pumped, saved the city 1 electricity and chlorine costs, which he believed should offset the lost revenues. He felt water consumption would increase when the military returned from Iraq and any rate increase was unjustified. ' Bob Curry of 65 10'" Street, who lives at the Island Club Condominiums, t spoke in favor of the city leasing ten parking spaces to the residents (Item 6B). He believed this was the right thing for the city to do to provide a I July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 3 solution to a unique problem. Mr. Curry distributed copies of a 1998 letter ' from to Richard Bonner of the Army Corps of Engineers, which stated there would be no problem with using ten spaces adjacent to the condominium if ten others were created for public use. Brian Wolfe of 1884 Sea Oats Place stated that he considered but did not buy a condominium at the Island Club due to the parking situation. He believed the access parking spaces should remain open to the citizens of Atlantic Beach. He believed that if they were to be rented, others may be ' willing to pay more for a beach access space than the suggested fee of$300 per year. ' Dick Hilliard of 11th Street expressed concern that the utility lines that would run to Johnston Island would have to be supported on pilings through the marsh and would not be very attractive. J.P. Marchioli of 414 Sherry Drive commented on the following items: (1) He believed the Commissioners should not raise the water and sewer rates (Item 7B), and suggested that they at least lower the base utility rate and give some type of rebate for those residents who install water- conserving fixtures, (2) He commented that speeding was still occurring on Sherry Drive and reminded the Commissioners that a petition signed by 78 residents had been submitted requesting that something be done about the problem, (3) He believed beautification of the five-points area was a waste of money, and (4)He opposed Resolution No. 04-06. Peter Sapia of 1655 Selva Marina Drive stated that he had gone to ' Johnston Island and believed height of the building should not be an issue because the buildings could not be seen from the bridge. He suggested that the Commissioners hold off on any improvements at the five-points area until they see what demand will be placed on Plaza after the opening of the Wonderwood Bridge. ' Sharon Scholl of 2049 Selva Marina Drive spoke in opposition to the Johnston Island development(Items 7C and 7D) for the following reasons: (1)The land was inches above the water and a hurricane storm surge would j destroy the buildings, (2) A marina at that particular location on the waterway was not a good idea due to the high volume of boat traffic, (3) Public space would be lost, and (4) The public in general was opposed to going over the 35' height limit. Unfinished Business 3. Unfinished Business from Previous Meeting from Previous Meeting 1 I tJuly 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 4 A. City Manager's Follow-Up Report ' City Manager Hanson commented on each item of his written report. A copy of the report is attached and made part of this official record as t Attachment A. Lease for 10`' Street Parking tPublic Works Director Rick Carper displayed photographs of Mandalay Park, located one block from the 16th Street beach access, where ten shaded parking spaces could be created to compensate for the leased spaces on 10th Street. He indicated that an additional three spaces could be developed on the north end of the park. The cost to develop the parking spaces was reported to be $29,000. Item 6B was taken out of sequence and acted on at this time. ' 613. Resolution No. 04-07 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, ' FLORIDA, APPROVING THE LEASE OF PARKING SPACE AGREEMENT FOR OWNERS OF ISLAND CLUB CONDOMINIUMS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN SAID LEASES, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE Motion: Approve Resolution No. 04-07. Mayor Meserve commented that the buyers of the Island Club Condominiums were aware of the parking situation when they bought the ' units. He believed that at least ten of the eighteen beach access parking spaces were occupied most of the time by the condominium owners,unless they left and the spaces became occupied on a first come, first serve basis. ' The Mayor stated that he would like to solve the problem, if there would be a way to guarantee that the city would not lose any public parking spaces. Mayor Meserve indicated that new beach parking could be developed at Mandalay Park. He indicated that before he could support leasing spaces, it was important to discuss the cost because the only thing discussed was an ' owner designed plan, which contained a nominal fee for leasing the parking spaces. He indicated that he would like the following items to be considered before entering into any lease for parking spaces: (1)The city ' must create ten spaces or more spaces, (2)The spaces must be created and in place before any spaces are leased to the Island Club, (3)The lease payments would pay the city for the creation of the new parking spaces, with assurance that the debt will be repaid within a reasonable number of I July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 5 years, (4) All residents of Island Club must agree with the lease agreement ' or there will be no agreement, and(5) The initial agreement would be for one year with automatic renewal and should contain an out clause in case it ' does not work out between the city and lease holders. Commissioner Waters indicated that the problem needed to be resolved and t there was a general expectation that you should be able to park in front of your home. He believed the city should be responsible for signage to mark the spaces and that the new parking spaces should be created before any leases were signed. Commissioner Parsons agreed with the Mayor's suggestions and indicated ' that he wanted a condition to be included in the lease agreement prohibiting subleasing of parking spaces. ' Commissioner Beaver commented that he had met with several of the residents of the Island Club. He indicated this was a tough issue to resolve because the owners purchased the units knowing there was no parking. He ' stated that as soon as the city passed the resolution the property values of the owners would increase because they now have parking. He expressed concern with the lease fee of$300 per year the city was placing on the ' parking spaces, and indicated that other city residents might also want to rent a parking space for$300 per year. Commissioner Beaver believed the signage and parking decals for the cars should be provided by the city. He ' also requested that the residents at 16th Street be notified of the City's intent to create new parking spaces at Mandalay Park. ' Commissioner Waters indicated that he had spoken with staff and it was determined that two additional parking spaces could be created at the Tenth street access allowing ten spaces for the public on the east end and ten ' private spaces on the west end. Discussion ensued and Commissioner Simmons believed something should ' be tried for a one-year trial period. Amendment to the motion: Amend the agreement to include the following items: (1)The city must create at least ten new parking spaces before any spaces are marked and leased to the Island Club, (2) The spaces must be contiguous, (3) All or nothing—all ten residents ' who need parking spaces must enter into a lease agreement or there will be no agreement, (4) There will be no subleasing of parking spaces, (5) The city will provide signs and decals for the cars, and(6) The city will register the cars being parked in the leased spaces.

He indicated that it was his opinion that the property was needed for a municipal purpose—beach access parking. ' Discussion ensued and the Mayor indicated that he would like to defer this matter for further discussion. Motion: Defer further discussion to the July 26, 2004 Commission Meeting, ' Moved by Parsons,seconded by Beaver Votes: Aye: 4—Beaver, Parsons, Simmons,Meserve Nay: 1 - Waters THE MOTION CARRIED ' Agenda Items 7C and 7D were taken out of sequence and acted on at this time.

Motion: Approve Ordinance No. 31-04-03 on first reading. U July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Pace 7 Community Development Director Doerr noted that there was a minor typographical error on one of the maps contained in the staff report package, and it should read a total of 3.6 acres of medium density residential and .5 acres of commercial. ' Anthony Robbins, of Prosser Hallock Planners and Engineers, and a member of the Bridge Tenders, LLC project team for the redevelopment of Jolmston Island, displayed an aerial photo of Johnston Island and explained the site contained a total of 7.5 acres, with about 4 acres of uplands. He ' pointed out that the site was located three-fourths of a mile from the nearest home and was an abandoned commercial site that had been rezoned several times in the past, from industrial to open rural and then conservation lands. He indicated the site was not a unique, pristine location,but was comprised of disturbed uplands, which contained dilapidated buildings lefton the commercial site. Mr. Robbins stated that the proposed development plan consisted of an estimated 30-36 condominium units, a private yacht club/marina, restaurant, ' a bed and breakfast,parking and other amenities. He pointed out that parking would be under the condominium buildings and there would be no open, large surface retention ponds. Access to the site would continue to be from the FDOT maintained road, and a traffic study had been completed which indicated a total of 76 p.m. peak hour trips from the site. ' Orientation photos illustrating the height of the condominiums relative to the height of the bridge were displayed. Mr. Robbins stated that the initial height of the buildings was first proposed to be 88', but the height was ' lowered to a maximum of 72'. Conceptual drawings of the physical appearance of the development were also displayed, and Mr. Robbins briefly went over the planned amenities. He indicated that approval of the Planned Unit Development(PUD) would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, requiring a small scale amendment to amend the 2005 Future Land Use Map from Conservation to Residential, Medium Density ' and from Conservation to Commercial. A copy of the Redevelopment Proposal for the Atlantic Beach Yacht Club is attached and made part of ■} this official record as Attachment B. ■ Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing. Dick Hilliard, former Public Works Director for the city, pointed out that the water and sewer lines to serve the development would have to be elevated on pilings through the marshland, which he believed would be unattractive. ' Mr. Fletcher of 340 Garden Lane stated that he was concerned about sound. 1 I I July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paee 8 I Patricia and Tom Goelz of 1359 Beach Avenue each opposed the project. Mrs. Goetz felt the property was similar to Dutton Island and should remain undeveloped,but if it was developed, the height should be limited to 35' and there should be public access to the property. Mr. Goetz believed there was no need for this type of development in Atlantic Beach. ' Mike Mickle of 268 Vela Norte Circle requested that public access to the property be maintained. ' Pat Pillmore of 995 Camelia Street opposed the project. She expressed concern for the wetlands and indicated that they needed to be protected ' from development. Lisa Bruno of 377 Plaza opposed the project and stated that city should Ipreserve green space. No one else spoke and the Mayor closed the public hearing. 1 Commissioner Waters inquired concerning the utilities. Mr. Robbins stated that the utilities would be underground, and would be built to city ' specifications. Commissioner Waters inquired concerning the ownership of the road. Mr. I Robbins indicated that the road was a private road maintained by the FDOT. Commissioner Waters stated that the city needed to clarify if the road was private or owned by the FDOT. Commissioner Beaver concurred. He felt I that if there was any public access, it should be maintained. The Mayor stated that it was his understanding that the road was, and always had been a private road maintained by the FDOT. Community Development Director I Doerr noted that the Johnston Island property was private property and not presently open to the public. Discussion of the status of the road ensued and Mr. Robbins agreed to clarify the ownership of the road. ICommissioner Simmons inquired concerning the ownership of the property south of the road and under the bridge. Mr. Robbins responded that he had I no knowledge concerning that property, and it was not part of the proposed development. I Mayor Meserve inquired how the property was zoned when annexed. City Attorney Jensen advised that the property was zoned IW—Industrial Waterfront. He then read a list of permitted uses under that zoning and I pointed out some of the permitted uses within 1W zoning. He indicated that the changes in zoning were implemented to incorporate the other areas surrounding the property. He believed that if there were to be a lawsuit,the 1 I July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Pate 9 owners might try to regain what was allowed on the property prior to annexation. Commissioner Beaver recapped some of the past uses of the property. He recalled that at one time the city tried to purchase the property to preserve it, but could not come to terms with the owners. He pointed out that Johnston Island was always an industrial site. He reviewed the city's options for the property, and stated that it would be unrealistic to think nothing was going to be developed there. Commissioner Beaver stated that ownership of the ' access road needed to be clarified. He also expressed concerns relative to the property being an abandoned industrial site and indicated that the developers would face many regulators to ensure the property was cleaned ' up and environmentally safe. He indicated that he had a concern with the proposed height of the condominiums, but it was an isolated area, one mile from the nearest residential development. He felt that the regulations set ' forth by the Commission in the PUD were for a unique piece of property located under a 78' bridge and he believed they would not set a precedent for future development in other parts of the city. He believed the proposed ' project was not a bad project, but the height was still an issue for him. Commissioner Parsons agreed with Commissioner Beaver. He inquired concerning construction of a south seawall on the property. Mr. Robbins indicated that rip-rap or some other stabilizing media would be used on the Island but he was unsure if anything would be done to the area under the bridge, which was not part of Johnston Island. Commissioner Parsons ' commented that he could live with a 66' height for the building, but not 88'. ' Commissioner Simmons indicated that she was not in favor of the commercial aspects of the proposed redevelopment. Discussion of previous rezoning classifications of the property ensued. It was pointed out ' that the zoning designation of the property was changed to Conservation when the Open Rural category was eliminated as a zoning district within the city. Community Development Director Doerr stated that the deed for the ' Bridge Tenders property listed several encumbrances, and read into the record an encumbrance on the deed that maintains any rights the public has _ to the area.

Motion: Approve Ordinance No. 52-04-02 on first reading. ' Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing. Dick Hilliard of 338 11th Street reiterated his concerns relative to the above-ground utility lines. Patricia Goelz of 1359 Beach Avenue stated she was opposed to height as ' presented. Jamie Fletcher of 340 Garden Lane inquired concerning the height of the development under construction on the southwest corner of the Intracoastal Waterway. It was reported that those condominiums would be 85' in height. He stated that he was opposed to that height for the Johnston Island ' development. He agreed that ownership of the ingress to the Johnston Island property need to be clarified. ' Valerie Pickett of 351 4th Street inquired concerning the PUD process and inquired if the PUD was transferable if the project was not built. She was told it was not transferable. Ms. Pickett favored a 35' height limit. Peter Sapia of 1655 Selva Marina Drive commented that drivers would not be able to see the building from the bridge. Tom Goelz of 1359 Beach Avenue favored a 35' height limit. No one else spoke and the Mayor closed the public hearing Commissioner Waters stated that he could not vote for a PUD at 88' and ' stated he did not want to exceed the 35' height limit. Commissioner Beaver stated that he had concerns with the Bed and Breakfast aspect of the proposed development and stated he preferred to keep the development a residential community. Mr. Robbins stated that the B &B was intended to be an option and mayor may not be part of the I ' July 12, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paee 11 development. He indicated that the traffic study was based on the resort hotel criteria. Commissioner Beaver stated that he felt comfortable exceeding the 35' ' height in this application, as long as it did not exceed the height of the bridge. Commissioner Beaver asked Mr. Robbins to address what is the minimum acceptable height limit --between 35' and 72'—that would make this a viable project. Mr. Robbins responded that the compromise height was 72'. Discussion of ' the height ensued. The Commissioners requested that the height be reduced from the 72' and Mr. Robbins responded that he could work with a figure in the high sixties. Mayor Meserve inquired concerning from where the height of 72' was measured. It was determined that it was measured from the center of the bridge, which is located west of the proposed development. Further discussion ensued and Mr. Robbins stated that the developer would ' consider using 69' as the building height. Discussion ensued regarding changes that could be made between first reading and second reading of the ordinance, and the City attorney was asked to address this issue. The Commissioners discussed amending the motion to limit height to 69' for the purpose of continuing consideration until the next meeting. Discussion of the bed and breakfast and marina ensued. Commissioner ' Simmons inquired if the B & B would be private or open to the public. Mr. Robbins responded that it was not for public use. Commissioner Simmons stated that she wanted this to be a condition of the PUD. Commissioner Waters spoke against any marina use by the general public, and reiterated his preference for a 35' height limit. Amendment to the motion: Approve with the addition of the following conditions: (1)The height will be limited to 69 feet, (2) the Bed and Breakfast restaurant will not be opened to the public, and not be a franchise or a drive through and (3) development would be subject to the three conditions listed on Page 4 of Community Development ' Director Doerr's Staff Report dated June 30, 20004.

This staff report is to provide additional clarification on that legal question as well as to pass along more information on the city's ability to create additional beach parking places both at Mandalay Park ' and adjacent to the Island Club Condominium complex. Alan Jensen has provided an opinion that the City can proceed with - leasing of the parking places next to the condominium complex if the Commission would first make a determination that these leased spaces will not be needed after alternative public parking is made available. His ' opinion incorporates several of the provisions recommended by Mayor Meserve at the July 12th meeting including a condition that the new parking places be completed and available to the public prior to leasing the existing places on 10th Street to the condominium owners. Alan Jensen has also revised the authorizing resolution to require that the money received from the lease go to paying for the improvements needed to make ' the additional parking places available to the public. A copy of his opinion on this matter dated July 14, 2004 is attached for your review. Plans for additional parking places at Mandalay Park as well as the 10th Street lot have been further developed since the last meeting. The plan now calls for several improvements to the Park which will include the addition of 14 parking places along the south and east sides,the removal of a significant amount of pavement on the Seminole frontage and corresponding expansion of green space and new trees, as well as the addition of a public shower to be located at the southeast corner. The cost for these improvements, including engineering is estimated at $35,625. Four more parking places can be added along 10th Street. Three of these can be accomplished through the restripping of the existing places so that they will be perpendicular to the condominium complex. Drivers will then AGENDA ITEM#6A JULY 26,2004 find it easier to get out of the parking places and return to Beach Avenue. 1 One additional parking place can be added by relocating the curbing on the west side of the existing parking and adding a small amount of paving.

Chapter 8, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Atlantic Beach City is hereby amended to add a new Sec. 8-25 which shall read as follows: Sec. 8-25 Boathouses and Docks ' (a) Purpose and intent. It is the intent of this section to insure that on intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front, and stream front lots no boating hazards will be created, water pollution from storm water runoff and other sources will be minimized, views of water ' from adjoining properties will not be unduly impaired, and the appearance of the shore when viewed from the water will be kept as natural as reasonably possible. Atlantic Beach's intracoastal lakes, canals and streams are among the City's greatest assets, and it is in the public interest to require that their aesthetic appeal and water quality be maintained and enhanced when possible. t (b) Site Plan. A building permit shall not be issued for any new structure, addition to any existing structure, fence or wall or significant change of an existing property on an intracoastal, lake front,marsh front, canal front, or stream front lot until a satisfactory site ' plan therefore is reviewed and approved. The requirements of this section are minimum requirements, and the planning and zoning department may impose more restrictive requirements and conditions on the height, bulk, location and any other aspect of the ' proposed development where necessary in order to accomplish the purpose and intent of the section. ' (c) Docks and Boathouses. The following minimum or maximum standards shall apply to all construction or renovation of docks and boathouses: - (1) Before a building permit is issued, the plans for docks and boathouses shall be approved by the building and planning department. (2) The total area of docks and boathouses built at the waters edge over land and ' water shall not exceed six hundred (600) square feet. (3) All new docks and boathouses shall be constructed ten(10) feet from a side lot line. This side setback can be reduced to five (5) feet if written approval is ' presented from the adjacent property owners. (4) All new docks and boathouses shall not extend over thirty(30) feet into the water from the elevations specified in Section 31-22 (4)(e). Ordinance Na.25-00-37 Page I af0 1 ' AGENDA ITEM#7A JULY 26,2004 (5) The highest point of a boathouse or gazebo roof or any railing shall not exceed ' nine (9) feet, and the roofs must be pitched so as to eliminate flat roofs and use of such areas as sundecks. The height shall be measured from the surface of the dock or floor to the highest point of the roof or railing. In addition, the surface of any ' dock, sundeck, or floor of any boathouse, gazebo, etc. shall not be more than two (2) feet above the elevations specified in Section(4)(e). (6) In order that all docks or boathouses be utilized only for boating or other recreational activities and not as living space,there shall be no bathrooms or cooking facilities permitted in them, nor as an improvement to the existing boathouse. There also shall not be any enclosed rooms over water except for ' storage rooms limited in size to a maximum of 80 square feet. (7) Only one (1)boathouse shall be permitted for each waterfront property owner. In the case of common ownership of lakefront property such as in a condominium ' arrangement or property owned by a subdivision, there shall only be one (1) boathouse permitted. (8) The sale or lease of a portion of lakefront after January 1,2004, shall be construed as a subdivision and shall not enable the owners to make application for a dock • and boathouse unless that subdivision has received the approval of the city • commission. ' (d) Other structures on Intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front or stream front lots. The following standards shall apply to all construction on lake front, marsh front, canal front or stream front lots: (1) Intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front and stream front lots shall be developed to maximize the amount of natural rainfall which is percolated into the soil and to minimize direct overland runoff into the water. With the exception of boathouses, docks or other over-water construction, stormwater runoff from ' structures and other impervious surfaces shall be directed into on-site retention swales and percolation of the first one inch of runoff. Properties being developed or redeveloped shall eliminate any direct piped discharges of stormwater into the ' water, so that this runoff is directed to the on-site retention and percolation areas. The city staff may require, as conditions necessitate,the submission of soil and water table information, topographic detail, drainage calculations and professionally designed plans so as to insure these requirements are met. All stormwater retention compliance shall prioritize the preservation of existing trees and the impacts of fill or excavation on tree root systems shall be minimized. ' (2) No intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front or stream front lot owner shall grade the lot in such a way as to interfere with the natural drainage of adjoining lots or in a way that diverts drainage from their lot onto adjoining lots. The city ' staff may require, as conditions necessitate, the construction of physical features, grading, swaling and piping of roof gutters so as to insure that runoff on a lot does not negatively impact adjoining lots. Ordinance No.25-04-37 ' Page 2 of AGENDA ITEM#7A JULY 26,2004 1 (3) Structures on intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front, or stream front lots shall, to the extent reasonably possible, be designed and located to minimize their obstruction or degradation of traditional views to and through the property to the water. Structures in this context shall also include fences and walls. The City, may as conditions necessitate, reduce the height of structures, alter their location, size and design so as to accomplish this objective. (4) Structures on intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front or stream front lots shall be developed and landscaped so that when viewed from the water, those structures are as unobtrusive as is reasonably possible. When a lot is being redeveloped, or a lot's structure is being extended or altered, this may require the planting of new trees and other landscaping in order to achieve this ' objective. (5) Structures on lakefront lots other than boathouses, docks or other overwater construction shall be setback at least fifty (50) feet from the normal high water ' elevation. For convenience, the normal high water elevations of the city's principal lakes are listed below. Structures in this context shall also include swimming pools, cabanas, screen enclosures, tennis courts and other accessory buildings. (6) Fences on intracoastal, lake front, marsh front, canal front, or stream front lots shall not be permitted to extend into the water beyond the normal high water elevation or into a canal beyond the bulkhead. Fences and walls shall not be permitted which run parallel to or across the lake, marsh, canal or stream within the fifty (50) foot setback. Fences and walls include any terrace wall or other structure higher than three (3) feet above grade. Fences running down the sides of properties within the fifty (50) foot setback or across the waterfront within the building setback shall be open fences such as wrought iron, chain link, etc. ' which allow visibility across property lines. (e) Retaining walls. The construction of retaining walls or seawalls shall be done in ' accordance with this chapter and Chapter 6 of Code of Ordinances for the City of Atlantic Beach. (I) Boathouse Lots. Boathouse lots which exist along the water front were accepted by the city under the premise that these lots would serve as lake access for the residents of that subdivision. As such, the purpose and intention of these boathouse lots is to serve as ' accessory lots to the main residential properties within that subdivision. In accordance with the policies contained within Chapter, Comprehensive Plan, the following regulations shall apply: ' (1) The buildability and use of all boathouse lots, which are determined to be accessory lots shall be restricted to the owners of real property within the subdivision in which these accessory boathouse lots were platted. tOrdinance No.25-04-37 Page 3 of 4 AGENDA ITEM#7A JULY 26,2004 1 (2) Boathouse lots which are held January I, 2004 by property owners residing outside of the subdivision for which they are platted shall be nonconforming ' boathouse lots which may still be used for constructing a boathouse and for water access. However, any boathouse lots owned by real property owners on January 1, 2004 in the subdivision for which they were platted, shall only be buildable and t used to serve the lake access need or residents of that subdivision. (3) Minimum lot widths shall be 50 feet. (4) Canal boathouses shall be constructed a minimum of five (5) feet from side ' lot line. There shall be no front setback. (5) The highest point of a boathouse shall be no more than ten feet above the normal high water elevation of the closet lake or water way detailed in Section (4)(c). (6) Canal boathouses shall not exceed four hundred (400) square feet in size for all areas of boathouses, stairs, and decking. ' (7) Canal boathouses shall be located so as not to interfere with navigation and to result in the minimum of loss of existing large oak,pine or cypress trees. Electric service shall be provided via underground wiring. Landscape buffering shall be required to substantially cover fifty percent (50%) of the structure. Off-street parking areas shall remain without asphalt, concrete, brick, gravel, grass paver or other improved surface. ' SECTION 2.

The proposed project is known as Johnston Island. 1. Public hearing and second reading of Ordinance Number 31-04-03, pursuant to an application (File Number SSA-2004-01) for a change in land use designation as established on the 2005 Future Land Use Map seeking a change in designation of 3.6 acres ' from Conservation to Residential, Medium Density, and a contiguous 0.5-acre parcel from Conservation to General Commercial. 2. Public hearing and second reading of Ordinance Number 52-04-02, an ordinance seeking to rezone lands from Conservation to Planned Unit Development. The rezoning request, File Number REZ-2004-01 and known as the Johnston Island PUD, seeks to rezone approximately 7.5 acres to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed plan of development contains up to 36 condominium units and a private yacht club, restaurant, and bed-and-breakfast. Parking, associated amenities, accessory uses, open space and submerged lands also occupy a portion of the site. // SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP � /b40 Community Development Director DATE: July 20, 2004 BACKGROUND: The Johnston Island project was considered at the July 12th meeting, and an amended motion to approve the project subject to the following revisions to the PUD application was made. • Section 3.2, Development Standards: revise to establish a maximum height for residential structures of sixty-nine (69) feet. • Section 3.1, Master Plan: revise to clarify that any restaurant use shall be for the use of residents, yacht club members and their guests only, and shall not be a drive-through, franchise, chain or fast-food type restaurant. Also, clarify that any fuel sales will be limited to yacht club members, and no otherwise commercial fuels sales or fueling docks ' shall be permitted. July 26,2004 regular meeting AGENDA ITEM#7C& 7D JULY 26,2004 STAFF COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS At the July 12th meeting, the Commission asked that several issues be addressed prior to the July 26th meeting. ' • Access road — The applicant has confirmed that the FDOT maintained roadway, which provides the only access to this property, is a public right-of-way extending from Atlantic Boulevard to the southern boundary of the Johnston Island property. This private roadway is outside of the project boundary. In other words, the public would continue to have any current access and use of that roadway to access property that may be outside of the ' Johnston Island property. • Signage — Section 3.10 (page 10) of the PUD sets forth the signage that will be permitted within the PUD, if approved. The sign size and height standards conform to the City's sign regulations. An 8-foot high, 60 square feet, ground-lighted monument sign will be placed at the project's entrance. A sign of this size has also been requested at the Atlantic Boulevard entrance, which would require FDOT approval as well as approval by the Commission in accordance with Section 17-28 (b), which states: ' (b) Signs ....that are located within Public or dedicated Right-of-ways shall be approved by the City Commission. Such Signs may be approved at the time of Final Plat approval as set forth by Section 24-205 of this Code, or alternatively, such Signs may be approved upon specific application to the Commission. Approval of the City -__ Commission shall be required prior to the issuance of a Sign Permit. Such Signs shall complement and conform to the "WELCOME TO ATLANTIC BEACH"Signs in features including lettering, color; composition, structural materials,finished surface, ' and shall be constructed of wood or similar material giving the finished appearance of carved or sandblasted wood, as described within Section 17-32. • Utilities — The PUD requires utilities to be placed underground. It will be the developer's responsibility to provide any required geotechnical testing and engineering design necessary to determine if the characteristics of the soil are suitable for directional boring of underground utilities from existing services. FDEP and the other permitting agencies will provide review to ensure the integrity of the lines. ' RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the Small Scale Amendment (first reading of Ordinance Number 31-04-03) carried unanimously. An amended motion to approve the proposed ' Pl1D (first reading of Ordinance Number 52-04-02), as revised, carried by a 3:2 vote incorporating the findings of fact and conditions as provided within the Staff Report provided for the July 12, 2004 meeting, and made part of these applications.

SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP 60 Community Development Director DATE: July 09, 2004 ' BACKGROUND: This Use-by-Exception is requested to allow a pizza and Italian restaurant to serve beer and wine. Revisions to Chapter 3 (Alcoholic Beverages) that were made in May of this year now require approval of a Use-by-Exception for any new location ' that serves beer, wine or liquor for on-premise consumption. This location at 30 Ocean Boulevard has been the site of other restaurants (The Pointe Café) and a coffee shop (Shelby's),but these previous businesses did not serve beer and wine. The Applicant was unaware of these changes to the City Code and hopes to open the new restaurant at the end of this month. (The State Division of Alcoholic Beverages will not issue the 2COP license without local zoning approval.) The Community Development Board will consider this request at their July 20th meeting, and Staff will provide the CD Board's recommendation at the Commission meeting. Staff recommends approval of this Use-by- Exception, finding that the request is consistent with this area, and that the service of beer and wine is typical to the proposed restaurant use. 1 BUDGET: No budget issues.

Thompson, Chief of Police/DPS BACKGROUND: ' In 2003, a statute was passed by the state legislature imposing court filing fees for all municipal violations, and requiring cities to provide legal counsel to prosecute and defend violators. The effective date was July 1, 2004. This law created an immediate negative reaction from various organizations, and work was initiated to alter the provisions in the 2004 legislative session. During the 2004 session, the law was changed, lowering the court filing fees, and adding a provision whereby municipalities could enter into a contract with the local State Attorney's Office to provide legal services for the prosecution of municipal cases. As a result, State Attorney Harry Shorstein's Office reviewed the 2003 records for the prosecution of Atlantic Beach municipal violations, and it was determined that the annual State Attorney cost for prosecution was approximately$2,150. The State Attorney's Office has proposed a one-page contract, as required by law,to prosecute municipal ordinance violations(see attached). The contract has been reviewed and approved by City Attorney Alan Jensen. 1 ' BUDGET: This contract will increase the expenses of prosecuting municipal code violations by approximately$2,150 per year in the future. - --RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the contractual agreement and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement discussed above.

Shorstein's Office REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: ' AGE A ITEM NUMBER: 1 AGENDA ITEM 68C JULY 26,2004 ' STATE ATTORNEY Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida 1,7174/da Duval County Courthouse ' Jacksonville, Florida 32202-2982 Tal: (904)630-2400 Fax: (904)630-1848 HARRY L.SHORSTEIN A.JAY PLOTKIN STATE ATTORNEY CHIEF ASSISTANT July 2, 2004 Jim Hanson City Manager City of Atlantic Beach 800 Seminole Road ' Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233 Dear Mr. Hanson: ' This letter will serve as our contractual agreement to provide municipal ordinance prosecution services to the City of Atlantic Beach. Pursuant to Section 27.34(1) Florida Statutes, a state attorney prosecuting ' violations of municipal ordinances punishable by incarceration and not ancillary to a state charge shall contract with municipalities to recover the full cost of services rendered on an hourly basis or reimburse the state for the full cost of assigning one or more full-time equivalent attorney positions to work on behalf of the municipality. We have determined that an average ordinance violation prosecution takes one hour. Our records show that we prosecuted 43 Atlantic Beach municipal ordinances in 2003. Therefore, we estimate an annual expenditure of$2,150.. Under this contractual agreement, the State Attorney's Office will handle the intake, discovery, pre-trial, trial and case disposition of criminal municipal ordinance violations that are punishable by incarceration and not ancillary to a state charge. The State Attorney's Office will not handle appeals or constitutional attacks on municipal ordinances. This contractual agreement will cover the full cost of services rendered Ion an hourly basis at fifty dollars ($50)an hour as established by section 27.34(1)(a). There is currently no rate specified in the General Appropriations Act. All contract funds will be paid directly to the State of Florida and sent to the Justice Administrative Commission for deposit into the Grants and Donations Trust ' Fund for appropriation by the Legislature. No funds are paid to the State Attorney. This should substantially outline our agreement. Please let me know if it meets with your approval. incer-ly, .112 Kathryn 1.

A ' mini-system is a portion of the city's sewer system that flows into a specific lift station to be pumped to the treatment facility. ' Mini-system B was one of the high priority locations, and includes the area bordered by Plaza to the south, Country Club Lane to the north, Sandpiper Lane to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The system was televised and some of the worst areas designated for cured-in-place ' piping (CIPP). Insituform Technologies,Inc. has an existing Contract WCS-123-00 with JEA for this type of I work,and staff requested to"piggyback" on this contract provide cured-in-place piping from the lift station at 425 11th Street to Seminole Road,then on Seminole Road from 11th Street to ICountry Club Lane, plus a small section of Country Club Lane. The cost breakdown for the work,using JEA's contract is as follows: IDescription Units Amount Cost/Unit Total Cost 10-inch sewer pipe CIPP (6mm) 2,643 LF $32.50 $85,897.50 I 12-inch sewer pipe CIPP (6mm) 322 LF $37.70 $12,139.40 TV & Clean 2,965 LF $3.00 $8,895.00 Service Reconnections 45 EA $100.00 $4,500.00 I Remove Protruding Tap 4 EA $300.00 $1,200.00 Tuberculation Removal 150 LF $18.00 $2,700.00 Subtotal $115,331.90 1 4%Contingency $4,668.10 TOTAL $120,000.00 ' The cost for CIPP on this JEA contract is approximately 13%lower than the low bid prices we received for past sewer lining projects. IBUDGET: A total of$120,622 is available for this project in the Sewer Fund under account number 410-5506-535-6300. I l I AGENDA ITEM#8D JULY 26,2004 1 RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Insituform Technologies, Inc. to provide cured-in-place piping work for Sewer Rehabilitation in Mini-System B in the amount of$120,000.00, piggybacking on the JEA Contract WCS-123-00.
