for each roadway traffic lane entering an intersection. Unobstructed and clear sight distance shall
be maintained as depicted within figures 1-3 [following this section], in accordance with the
designated travel speed of streets, and as further set forth within the following provisions. To
ensure clear sight distance and adequate visibility at defined intersection, the owners or
occupants of private real property shall be prohibited from any of the following, which may
obstruct a driver's view of approaching traffic at such intersections:
(1) Plant or permit the growth of shrubbery or any other vegetation within the city right-of-way
higher than thirty (30) inches above the established grade of the right-of-way; or
(2) Allow tree branches to extend below the height of ten(10) feet above the established grade
of the right-of-way; or
(3) Allow any berm, wall or other structure to be erected, placed, or continue to exist within the
city right-of-way.
(b) Safety zones. For purposes of this section, safety zone shall be defined as an unobstructed
area along the edge of the roadway intended for the recovery of errant vehicles,and also the edge
of sidewalks or designated pathways intended to provide for a safe area that is free of
obstructions, which may create hazards for pedestrians, bicycles or vehicles.
(1) Within rights-of-way. A safety zone extending two (2) feet from the edge of the roadway
pavement or the edge of a sidewalk or pathway,as applicable, shall be maintained.
(2) Within private property. On any private property, no landscaping or vegetation other than
lawn grass, and no property border, berm, retaining wall edging,timbers, posts or other type of
obstruction shall be constructed, placed, or permitted to remain within two (2) feet of the edge of
the roadway pavement or edge of sidewalk, or in any location that creates an obstruction or
hazard to pedestrians, bicyclists or vehicles.
(3) Cause for removal of obstructions within safety zones. Upon finding by the director of

immediately removed by order of the police department. The city shall have the right to remove
any trees, shrubbery, vegetation, berms, walls, fences, structures or other objects in violation of

MEMORANDUM
--- • MIAX' 9EACH
POLICE
CFF _
TO: Sgt. Jevic #701
FROM: Officer Josef Van Hof#1214
DATE: 04/11/2017
SUBJECT: Sight Distance Requirements and Safety Zones for Club Ln and Ocean Blvd
Facts: Recently a wooden fence, approximately 4 feet in height, has been erected on the western
portion of the property line of 859 Ocean Blvd. This fencing goes from the upmost (northern) portion
of the property line along the western side and down to the corner of the lot, near the intersection of
Club Lane and Ocean Blvd.
Findings: During a recent Line of Sight survey, it was founded that at the intersection of Club Lane
and Ocean Blvd, there is not enough visible sighting area per the requirements of the Atlantic Beach
Municipal Ordinance, Section 19.5. Within this ordinance, due to the type of intersection and
roadway speed of 25 MPH, there is a requirement to have a minimum of 115 feet of visible sight area.
From the Line of Sight survey, it was determined that with a vehicle stopped at the intersection of
Club Lane and Ocean Blvd, there was only 55 feet of visible sight area for the southbound lane of
travel as opposed to 153 feet of visible sight area for the northbound lane of travel. This is a
decrease of 60 feet of sight area that is required by the municipal ordinance. This poses an extreme
safety issue for pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the intersection or approaching the intersection
from the north direction.
The fence is also out of regulations per the minimum safety zone area from the city's right of
way standards. Within the municipal ordinance, section 19.5, there is a required 2-ft (24 inches)
safety zone from the edge of the roadway or sidewalk area. The fence line is approximately 22
inches, 2 inches below the minimum standard, from the edge of the sidewalk. With the fencing being
out of regulation for the safety zone, this adds to the safety issue and heightens the probability of
serious accidents occurring within the intersection or sidewalk area.
Solutions: Due to the seriousness of the safety issue for Atlantic Beach pedestrians and vehicles
that travel through this intersection, it is recommended that the fence be removed or relocated to
correct these deficiencies that are against the regulations of the municipal ordinance. In order to
correct the issue, the fence will need to be relocated in order to maintain the 115 feet visible sight
area and meet the minimum 2 feet requirement for the edge of the sidewalk.
