MINUTES NAME OF
FEBRUARY 10, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN
City Planner, George Worley, said that he and the City Manager had
met with the City Attorney regarding the procedure which should be
followed in the platting procedure for Phase II of Selva Linkside.
It was the recommendation of city staff that the City Commission
accept the conceptual plan of Phase II. This would allow the
developer to proceed with engineering and architectural plans which
would than be presented to city staff for approval, following which '
the final plat would be presented to the City Commission for
approval. Edwards x x
Fletcher a
Motion: Accept the recommendation of city staff and approve Tucker x x
the conceptual plan of Selva Linkside, Phase II Waters a
Gulliford a
Commissioner Waters noted that John Merritt had made mention of a
sidewalk at Eleventh Street and felt that a commitment may have
been made by the developer of Phase_ I to construct a sidewalk on
Eleventh Street from the development to Seminole Road.
Commissioner Waters also pointed out the plan now before the City
Commission included about twelve more lots than were shown in the
original drawings.
Dan Harris, engineer and planner for Selva Linkside, Phase II,
explained that the original plan presented to the city did not
include the land which was added in the land exchange with the City
of Atlantic Beach. The additional land made it possible for the
developer to increase the number of lots.
Commissioner Waters also requested that a tree lined buffer zone
be included between the development and the city yard and was
advised that landscaping should be shown on the preliminary plat.
He also felt strongly that the drainage problems in Phase I should
be addressed in Phase II.
Commissioner Fletcher questioned the procedure which had been
followed in approving the plat for Phase I. He noted that it was
approved under "Recognition of visitors." George Worley explained
that the PUD ordinance had been approved approximately six months
prior to that time and the proper notification and public hearing
had been conducted.
The question was called and the motion carried on a vote of 3 - 2
with Commissioners Fletcher and Waters voting nay.
Peter Fantegrosse, 1132 Linkside Drive, asked who was responsible
for enforcing the covenants and restrictions and the City Manager
explained the covenants were an agreement between the developer and
the property owners and the provision for their enforcement was
outlined in Section 29 of the Covenants and Restrictions.
PAGE FOUR V V
MINUTES NAME OF
FEBRUARY 10, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN
Bob Porter of Centex Homes asked for clarification regarding what
had been approved and Mr. Worley explained the lot lay-out and
location of the streets had been approved. Commissioner Fletcher
expressed some concern about the layout of the lots and cautioned
the developer to make sure that the plans for Phase II comply with
the requirements of the PUD.
Mayor Gulliford inquired whether the density of Phase II was
greater than Phase I and Mr. Worley explained that the lot sizes
were equal to or larger than those in Phase I.
Public Works Director Kosoy asked for agreement with the developer
that if the city finds in the review of the storm drainage plans,
that a drainage easement or an emergency access to the north was
required, the developer would be willing to grant same to the city.
Mr. Kosoy was instructed to contact the developer in this regard as
soon as possible.
C. Discussion and related action relative to the city joining
Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association
Building Official Don Ford reported that he had represented the
city for two years on the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation
Association. He explained it was a non partisan group made up of
representatives from various regulatory agencies such as EPA, DNR,
Corps of Engineers, as well as public and private experts in beach
and shore preservation. He recommended that the city rejoin this
association. Robert Weiss agreed with Mr. Ford's comments. He
said he planned to attend a meeting later that week in St.
Petersburg and would report back to the City Commission.

A. Report and recommendation relative to award of Bid No. 9192-1
relative to lawn maintenance
Commissioner Edwards reported the city received bids ranging from
$21,000 to $71,000. After carefully reviewing the bids, it was the
consensus of the awards committee that the bid for lawn maintenance
be awarded to Leonards Landscaping.
Edwards x x
Motion: Accept the bid of Leonards Landscaping in the amount Fletcher x
of $21,365.00 as the lowest responsible bidder and Tucker x x

In discussion before the vote, Commissioner Waters inquired whether
the current contractor had provided satisfactory service.

the performance of the new contractor would be evaluated after
three months to ensure that the city continued to receive
satisfactory service. The question was called and the motion
carried unanimously.
B. Report and recommendation on award of Bid No. 9192-4 relative
to the purchase of a copy machine for Public Works

C. Water and Sewer Committee Report
Commissioner Fletcher reported the committee had reviewed the
condition of water lines in various areas of the city and had
established a priority list. The committee recommended replacing
the water lines on Ninth and Eleventh Streets in FY 1991/92 and
First Street in FY 1992/93. A report of Water and Sewer Committee
meeting No. 11 is attached hereto and made a part hereof.
He reported the well at Coquina Street had been temporarily
repaired but was in poor condition and property owners had been
contacted and requested to connect to the city system. Mayor
Gulliford asked whether Bio-Environmental Services had set a
deadline for residents to connect to the city system and was
advised that no deadline had been established. He suggested that
PAGE SIX V V
MINUTES NAME OF
FEBRUARY 10, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN
Bio-Environmental Services should be the entity to contact the
property owners regarding the condition of the well. John Baillie
pointed out that the rights to the well were shared by all the
property owners served, and he cautioned the city about complaints
which could be anticipated in the event the city capped the well.
After further discussion Mayor Gulliford instructed city staff to
consult with the City Attorney and all regulatory agencies
involved, and to present their recommendations and course of action
relative to the well to the City Commission for further
consideration.
Commissioner Fletcher reported the Water and Sewer Committee had
recommended that the next quarterly billings to Oceanwalk be at the
Atlantic Beach rates.

B. Status report on proposed drainage improvements in the Fleet
Landing area
Bob Kosoy reported he had requested CH2M Hill, the engineering firm
preparing the city's master drainage plan, to review the Haskell
calculations. James Scholl of CH2M Hill had challenged some of the
calculations which had been prepared by the Haskell Company, and
had recommended the installation of at least a 30-inch pipe on the
west side of the drainage structures. He said he had heard that
St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) would approve
the project at their upcoming meeting in Palatka. Mr. Kosoy said
he had contacted SJRWMD and advised them of his concerns. He had
been unable to contact Mr. Sanders of Haskell to see if they would
agree to install the larger pipe.
Motion: Contact the Haskell Company and encourage them to Fletcher x
install a 36-inch pipe to correct drainage problems Waters x
related to the development of Fleet Landing
PAGE NINE V V
MINUTES NAME OF
FEBRUARY 10, 1992 COMMAS. MSYN
Further discussion ensued and Ed Martin, representing Selva Marina
Country Club, said that the country club had experienced drainage
problems and had been requesting relief for two years. None of the
measures taken thus far had helped and he requested that the city
pressure Haskell to correct the problems before the mosquito
season began.
Mayor Gulliford said he intended to continue to pressure Haskell to
correct the problem but did not feel the city could dictate how the
correction should be made. John Meserve, 2087 Vela Norte Circle,
said he was on the Board of Directors of Fleet Landing and had
attended the various meetings regarding the drainage problems. He
said Haskell had admitted responsibility for the problem and he had
been assured by Ed Vandergriff of Haskell that the problem would be
resolved.
The Mayor requested Selva Marina Country Club draft a letter to the
city pointing out the serious nature of the problem and the need
for expediency of resolving the matter and he would again write to
Haskell urging them to proceed with alacrity to correct the
problems.
Commissioner Fletcher withdrew his motion to request that Haskell
install a 36—inch pipe, and Commissioner Waters withdrew his
second.
C. Approval of Use by Exception to operate a pest control
business at 1447 Mayport Road
George Worley reported the Community Development Board had
considered this application at its meeting on January 21, 1992.
They questioned the applicant about vehicle parking and storage of
chemicals and had unanimously recommended approval.
Mayor Gulliford opened the floor for a public hearing and invited
comments from the audience. Since no one spoke for or against the
exception, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed.
Motion: Grant use by exception to David Honrath to operate a Edwards x
pest control business at 1447 Mayport Road in a CL Fletcher x
zoning district in accordance with the
recommendations of the Community Development Board
Commissioner Waters inquired how the business would be monitored to
ensure that no chemicals were disposed of in the city sewers. He
also expressed some concern that the business abutted a residential
district. Susan Lewis, owner of the property, explained that pest
control companies were regulated by HRS and inspections were strict
and were routinely conducted. Fire Chief Rew said he also inspects
companies involving hazardous materials.
Commissioner Waters also inquired whether the water lines were
fitted with back flow preventers and Building Official Don Ford
PAGE TEN V V

said these fixtures would be required if the business was
determined to be a hazardous operation.
Edwards x x
Substitute Motion: Defer action on the application and Fletcher x
request that Mr. Honrath attend the next meeting Tucker x x
to answer questions Waters x
Gulliford x
No further discussion. The motion carried unanimously.
9. City Manager Reports and/or correspondence:
— Due to the complexities of the proposed amendments to the
solid waste ordinance, the City Manager requested that a
workshop meeting be held to fully review the proposed changes.
After brief discussion a workshop meeting was scheduled for
7:30 PM on February 26, 1992.
- The City Manager reported bids would be received on the water
treatment plant improvements on March 11, 1992, and bids for
drainage improvements at Edgar, George, Robert, and Orchid
Streets, and Levy Road would be received February 27, 1992.
Chief Thompson reported the lifeguard station did not have space to
store the handicapped beach chair. He felt the options were to
fence in the area, enclose the front porch area, or to transport
the chair to the beach as needed. Of the various options, Chief
Thompson recommended fencing an area where the chair could be
stored in a secure area and constructing a ramp for beach access.
He estimated the cost of these changes at approximately $1,600.00.
After brief discussion Mayor Gulliford appointed a task force
consisting of Chief Thompson, Commissioner Waters, Barbara Bonner
and Robert Weiss. He requested they contact the Sea Turtle Inn to
see if they could be of any assistance in this matter.
8A. Appointment to the Recreation Advisory Board.
Mayor Gulliford proposed the name of Henry M. Isaacs to fill the
unexpired term of David Turner.
Edwards x
Motion: Approve appointment of Henry M. Isaacs to the Fletcher x x
Recreation Advisory Board Tucker x x
Waters x
No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x
Commissioner Fletcher suggested, pursuant to the workshop on
Saturday, February 7, 1992, that an employment contract be
drafted for the City Manager. Mayor Gulliford suggested that
a contract also be drafted for the City Clerk and directed
Commissioner Fletcher to prepare same.
- Commissioner Fletcher also requested that the city closely
monitor the improvements to the water plant in order to avoid
fines and penalties. The City Manager explained DER had
PAGE ELEVEN V V
MINUTES NAME OF
FEBRUARY 10, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN
requested the city to make certain improvements. They had
issued a consent order with the Mayor and City Manager as
signatories. Mr. Leinbach explained he had requested a
12-month extension to meet the requirements and the city has
until September 1992 to bring the plant into compliance. He
explained that bids would be received for the project in March
and he hoped the project would be completed by September.
Commissioner Waters asked for clarification of what had been
approved for Selva Linkside and the City Attorney explained
that the City Commission had approved the conceptual plan
showing the layout of the streets and the lots.
Mayor Gulliford reported briefly on the planning workshop
which was held the previous Saturday. He identified the top
priorities as: Improve/upgrade street ends, beach accesses,
and beautify (particularly 18th and 19th Street ends) ;
negotiate new interlocal agreement with Jacksonville; bicycle
paths on Seminole Road and Plaza within three years; Charter
and Code review; upgrade Donner Park, including access, with
bicycle paths/sidewalks; implement regular programs to clean
and maintain drainage ditches; and aggressively pursue a
volunteer fire department to supplement the professional full
time fire department.
The Mayor also commented on a recent memo from Diane St.
Laurent which advised of the reduction in Workers'
Compensation claims. He complimented the City Manager on the
success of the safety program. The City Manager also credited
Chief Rew who is the Safety Director, as well as the employees
and department heads who worked on the committee.
There being no further business to come before the City Commission,
the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at PM.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kim D. Leinbach/City Manager
FROM: Robert S. Kosoy/Director of Public Works
RE: WATER AND SEWER COMMITTEE MEETING *11
On January 31, 1992 Commissioner Lyman Fletcher, Alan Potter,
Ernie Beadle, Harry McNally and Bob Kosoy met to discuss
several key water and sewer concerns:
A. Beach Avenue area
After discussing the proposed distribution lines shown on the
plans, Beach Avenue Water and Sewer Improvements by Gee &
Jenson August 1990, it was mutually agreed that an RFP will
be sent to Gee & Jenson to revise the plans to show a line
smaller than 12" diameter along Beach Avenue.
Regarding the leaking well at Coquina (Note: Residents
received notices from HRS and City on the afternoon of
January 31, 1992) , it is recommended by this Committee that
the Commission pass a Resolution which would require these
residents to connect to City water.
B. Capital Improvement Fee
The sample Jacksonville Beach Ordinance was distributed and
cursorily reviewed. It was agreed that a 6" diameter line
should be a baseline for assessing homeowners.
C. Water Distribution System Upgrade
Ernie Beadle presented a list of projects with estimated
costs. After discussion of how to maximize budgeted funds
with due regard to the worst problem areas the Committee
recommends the following projects for FY 1991-92:
cont
1. 9th Street - Remove existing 2" diameter galvanized pipe
and replace with 8" diameter PVC SDR 18 pipe. Connect 36
house services and add fire hydrant.
Estimated cost $52, 900. 00
2. 11th Street - Remove existing 2" diameter galvanized pipe
and replace with 10" diameter PVC SDR 25 pipe. Connect
house services and add fire hydrant.
Estimated cost $43, 248. 00.
The first project in FY 1992-93 would be:
3. 1st Street - Remove existing 2" diameter galvanized pipe
and replace with 6" diameter PVC SDR 18 pipe. Connect 35
services and add fire hydrant.
Estimated cost $50, 000. 00.
Engineering plans will be prepared by the City Engineer
and submitted to HRS for a permit for all the work
proposed for the Royal Palms and core City area.
Commissioner Fletcher emphasized that the plans be
designed to minimize disturbance to mature trees and the
existing environment in these older areas.
D. Oceanwalk
Harry McNally presented data on the hydrant testing to verify
pressure from the 8" diameter main on Seminole road. The
conclusions of the testing were that no perceivable
difference in water pressure exists from the Buccaneer to
Atlantic Beach Water Distribution System.
The Committee hereby recommends that the next quarterly
billings to Oceanwalk, and other accounts within the City
limits currently billed to Buccaneer, be changed over to the
Atlantic Beach system for water and sewer billings.
