08-23-93 v MINUTES OF THE WORKSHOP MEETING OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION
HELD AT ATLANTIC BEACH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, 1200 SANDPIPER
LANE, ATLANTIC BEACH AT 6:00 PM ON MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1993.
Present were City Commissioners Glenn Edwards, Lyman Fletcher,
Adelaide Tucker and Dezmond Waters. Also present were City Manager
Kim Leinbach, Deputy City Manager Jim Jarboe, City Clerk Maureen
King, Finance Director Kirk Wendland, Public Works Director Bob
Kosoy, Atlantic Beach Chief Plant Operator Tim Townsend, Buccaneer
Chief Plant Operator Harry McNally.
The meeting which included a brief tour of the treatment plant, was
held for the purpose of discussing the options available to the
city regarding disposal of sludge.
Jim Jarboe explained the city had been notified that effective
October 1, 1993, in order to be accepted at the landfill, sludge
would be required to pass a paint filter test to determine that it
meets the new dryness level required by the DER. Additional
treatment would be required for the Atlantic Beach sludge to meet
the new standard and the staff had been considering both short term
and long term solutions.
As a short term measure to buy some time staff recommended adding
two additional roll on/roll off containers as soon as possible.
Then, approximately April 1994, add a lime silo. Mr. Jarboe
reported the consulting engineer had indicated that a lime silo
would be needed regardless of which treatment system was used.
Bob Kosoy reported the average daily flow at the Atlantic Beach
plant was 2.3 MGD and the flow at the Buccaneer plant was 1 .0 MGD.
and he said he expected flows to increase to 5.0 MGD by the year
2013 . He indicated the long range plan was to treat the sludge to
a completely dry stage to produce a residual which could be given
or sold to residents to use as fertilizer for lawns, parks, and
golf courses. He indicated staff members would visit cities which
utilized treatment systems which treated sludge to a dry residual
and he hoped to make recommendations to the city commission by
January 1, 1994, regarding a long term plan. A staff report
listing short term and long term measures and associated costs is
attached hereto.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at
6:40 PM.

May, Inc. in the amount of $10 , 371 . 00 to connect the
well to the ground storage tank. He explained the city
had four phases of the well construction. The first
phase was drilling the well, the second phase was to

ductile iron pipe, and the third phase would connect
the electric to the control room. The last phase would
be to test the well as required by the State for water
quality.

for Buccaneer Water, fiscal year 92/93 . Commissioner
Waters requested that the names of accounts be
furnished to the Commission when describing where funds
would be derived.
The question was called and the motion carried
unanimously.
B. Appeal of Variance Denial by Gary Wetherhold
George Worley, City Planner, explained Mr . & Mrs.
Wetherhold requested a variance to the rear yard
setback to allow construction of a new residence in
. Tiffany by the Sea within 7 .5 feet of the rear property
line. The requirement by the subdivision plat is 25
feet and by the Zoning Code is 20 feet. The lot is an
odd shape but is not smaller than the adjacent interior
lots.
Mr. Worley explained the Community Development Board,
during its deliberations, found no hardship sufficient
to justify such a large variance . The Board determined
that granting this variance would convey to the
property owner a privilege generally denied to other
property owners in the same zoning district. The Board
voted 6-1 to deny the request for variance.
Mr. & Mrs. Wetherhold explained they were requesting a
variance in order to be able to build a home that would
be less than three stories high. They distributed
plans and pictures to the Commission.
k discussion ensued and Commissioner Waters felt since
no one was present from Tiffany by the Sea, the matter
V V
Page 11 NAME OF

should be deferred until the meeting of September 13,
1993 .
Edwards x
Motion: Defer action on appeal of variance Fletcher x x
denial by Mr. & Mrs. Wetherhold until the Tucker x
meeting of September 13, 1993 Waters x x
Gulliford x
Mr. & Mrs. Weatherhold explained Tiffany by the Sea
condominium owners had ample opportunity to come
forward concerning the matter since it had been under
discussion for some time, but no one had come forward.
Commissioner Waters felt time should be given to study
the matter.
The question was called on the motion to defer action
until September 13 , 1993 and vote resulted in 1-4 with
Commissioner Waters voting yes. The motion failed.
A discussion ensued and it was felt by some
Commissioners that the variance should be granted.
Motion: Grant variance to the rear yard Edwards x x
setback to allow construction of a new Fletcher x
residence in Tiffany by the Sea within 7 .5 Tucker x x
feet of the rear property line to Mr. & Mrs. Waters x
Gary Wetherhold Gulliford x
A discussion was held and it was felt by some
Commissioners that the shape of the lot presented a
hardship because it allowed the building of a three
story building, only.
The question was called and the vote resulted in all
ayes. The motion carried.
Mr. Wetherhold suggested limiting the terms of
Community Development Board members.
C. Request approval of Change Order for chlorine
contact facility at Buccaneer
Bob Kosoy, Director of Public Works, asked for approval
for Change Order No. 1 , for the chlorine contact
chamber facility. He explained the change order
covered unforeseen relocation of underground electrical
conduit and plant process piping. He indicated it was
not necessary to approve funds for this change order
since a 15% contingency of $23 , 100 . 00 was approved in
the construction contract and this extra work would
post $6, 337 . 00 . Therefore, there was a remaining
contingency of $16 , 773 . 00 for the duration of the

commission to proceed with the project it its entirety
it would be necessary to obtain financing. He
indicated the city anticipated the fund balance of
Convention Development Tax monies would be
approximately $130 , 000 at the end of the current fiscal
year.

decided upon.
