2. Recognition of Visitors:
Dezmond Waters, 1835 Seminole Road, requested that the Dewees
Avenue dune overwalk be left as is. He said it was useful and
many citizens found it helpful for getting to the beach. He felt
the Police Department could handle any problems which may exist
relative to loitering.
Mayor Gulliford responded that he had met with Capt. and Mrs.
Anderson and Gerard Vermey who had been engaged by the Andersons to
amend the design of the dune overwalk. He had also spoken with
Mr. Brantley with the Department of Natural Resources. The Mayor
explained no attempt was being made, either by the Andersons or the
city, to remove or in any way impede the access and it was hoped
any adjustments to the structure would be an improvement over the
current situation. He said before any changes were made due public
notice would be given and the revised plans would be available for
inspection; however, no changes would be made until the revised
plan is prepared by Mr. Vermey.
Bill Permenter, 78 Dewees Avenue, also encouraged the city to
keep the Dewees Avenue beach access open.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Edward Sanders, 1615 Seminole Road, inquired whether the proposed
installation of water and sewer lines in the northern area of Beach
.Avenue would serve his property. After brief discussion, he was
instructed to contact Public Services Director, Bob Kosoy.

Suzanne Shaughnessy, resident in the Oceanwalk subdivision,
inquired into the status of the request from Oceanwalk residents
for improvements to the fence which had been discussed at the
previous meeting. Police Chief Thompson reported city staff were
still exploring the possibilities and would present their report at
the next meeting.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Barbara Hopson, 760 Sherry Drive, acknowledged correspondence from
the City Manager relative to Lot 95, Saltair. She reported that
the property is now for sale and encouraged the city to consider
acquiring same to add to Howell Park. The City Manager was
instructed to follow up on this.

3. Appearances:
A. Requesting information on time frame for future sidewalks and
bike paths on Seminole Road from 15th Street north to
Oceanwalk (P.J. Wetherhold)
Ms. Wetherhold introduced Hugh Matthews who presented a plan for
the construction of sidewalks on Seminole Road, north to Hanna
Park. Mayor Gulliford reported that the city had prepared a master
plan for sidewalks/bike paths and this would be discussed under
Agenda Item 8B.
Discussion ensued relative to bike paths which would be an
extension of the roadway pavement vis a vis a pathway which would
be separate from the roadway and would be shared by joggers, casual
bike riders, skate board riders, etc. Mr. Matthews recommended the
sidewalk be located on the east side of the roadway. He said
between 6,000 and 7,000 feet of sidewalk would be required and
suggested a width of six feet. He estimated the cost would be
about $1.50 per square foot, along with some drainage work which
may be necessary, for a total cost of about $50,000 - $60,000.
Public Services Director Kosoy reported he and the City Manager and
Parks & Recreation Director had met on this matter and suggested
that their report be presented at this time.
8B. Discussion and related action relative to bicycle master plan
The City Manager reported $40,000 had been budgeted for
constructing bike paths within the city in FY 1990/91. He said the
recommendations of the Metropolitan Planning Organization had been
incorporated into the recommendations being presented. Copy of the
City Manager's recommendations are attached hereto and made a part
hereof. He explained, in accordance with the Metropolitan Planning
Organization's criteria, Seminole Road would be classified as a
•

Regional Plan. He also recommended an engineering analysis may
need to be conducted on the intersection of Seminole, Sherry and
Plaza to determine the need for traffic signaling.
Robert Walters, 2226 Beachcomber Trail felt priority should be
given to the construction of sidewalks before bike paths. This
opinion was also echoed by others in the audience. The need to
educate children in bike safety and the rules of the road before
allowing them to ride bikes on the streets was also expressed.
After a complete discussion of the matter Commissioner Tucker moved
as follows:
Motion: Direct the City Manager to proceed to establish a Cook x x
priority list of sidewalks/bike paths to be Edwards x
constructed, said list to be presented to the City Tucker x x
Commission for further discussion at a Committee of Weldon x
the Whole meeting to be held in City Hall at 7:30 PM Gulliford x
on Wednesday, February 20, 1991
In discussion before the vote, the question of financing was
discussed and it was agreed this would be further discussed at the
meeting on February 20. The question was called and the motion
carried unanimously.
B. Discussion relative to water/sewer service charges for
Oceanwalk (P.J. Wetherhold)
Gary Wetherhold addressed the City Commission relative to charges
for water and sewer service to the Oceanwalk residents. He
explained those residents were being charged the Buccaneer rate,
which equalled 150% of the Atlantic Beach rate, for water and
service. He felt since that area had been annexed to Atlantic
Beach and was now within the municipal boundary of the city, the
Atlantic Beach rates should apply.
Mayor Gulliford explained since that area was serviced by the
Buccaneer system, the conditions of the bond financing required
that 150% of the Atlantic Beach rates be charged. The Mayor
further explained that when the Sea Gardens lift station is on
line, the flow from Oceanwalk would probably be diverted to the
Atlantic Beach plant and unless advised otherwise by legal counsel,
the rates for those residents affected by this change could be
adjusted accordingly. It was hoped the Sea Gardens lift station
would be on line before September 1991.
Alan Potter, 374 Second Street, explained that even at 150% of the
Atlantic Beach rate, this rate was lower than that approved by the
Public Service Commission for Buccaneer customers if the system had
remained privately owned.

At this time the Mayor called a short recess.

Commission and City Manager and all concerned on the recent
acceptance of the city's Comprehensive Plan

4. Old Business:
A. Report relative to parking on Tenth Street at Island Club
Condominiums
Bob Kosoy reported he had visited Island Club Condominiums and
presented sketches showing the existing parking and alternative
parking configurations, including private parking spaces which
could be created if the privacy fences could be removed. He
pointed out, however, that if the wall was removed to create
private parking spaces, public parking spaces on the north side of
Tenth Street would be lost. He felt that the existing design
provided the optimum amount of parking.
Robert Krawlec, 344 Tenth Street, inquired regarding the four
parking spaces on the west side of the building which were a
requirement under the PUD, and which were now being leased by the
current owner. The Mayor said he did not know under what
circumstances this property was sold. Commissioner Weldon said it
was apparent the deed carried no provision that this land remain in
perpetuity as parking for the comdominiums.
Kathleen Russell, 2117 Beach Avenue, inquired whether a variance
had been granted to the owner to operate a parking lot in a
residential district. After further discussion Commissioner
Weldon said this matter had been investigated by both the City
Commission and staff and it appeared to be the general consensus
that the problem of private parking at Island Club was not a matter
which could be resolved by the City. Cook x
Edwards X
Motion: Remove the matter from the agenda and move on Tucker x x

No further discussion. The motion carried on a 4 - 1 vote with

In discussion before the vote, Chief Thompson said he felt the Gulliford x

in compliance with state law the the City Attorney responded that Gulliford x
if a resolution was adopted by the city stating that Convention
Development Tax Revenue could not be used for the purposes
authorized in the Florida Statutes, then those revenues could be
used as stated in Section 1 of Resolution No. 91-5. The question
was called and the motion carried unanimously.

8. New Business:
A. Public hearing on an application for use by exception filed by
Fred Lewis to operate a teen club at 18-20 Donner Road
(Community Development Board recommended denial)
Mayor Gulliford opened the floor for a public hearing on the
exception requested by Mr. Lewis and invited comments from the
audience.
Fatima Wood, 16-B Donner Road, said she would be the manager of the
club. She said she had contacted Mayport teachers who had agreed
to teach art once or twice a month. She felt the club would
provide an incentive for teenagers to do better in school and would
provide a place to study and do homework. She also presented a
list of names and phone numbers of others who supported the club
but who could not be in attendance. Mrs. Peters, 1355 Rose Street,
said she was also in favor of the club.
Barbara Bonner, 463 Selva Lakes Circle, said she recognized the
need for recreational facilities for teenagers but she felt the
Donner Road location was inappropriate. Others who recognized the
need for recreational facilities for teenagers but who were opposed
to the location were Kathleen Russell, 2117 Beach Avenue, and
Dorothy Kerber, 365 First Street. Ruth Gregg, 905 Sailfish Drive,
felt the noise from a live band would be a disturbance to the
adjoining residential community.
Fred Lewis said he did not feel the neighborhood, nor the close
proximity to the bar, would have an negative impact on the club
since he expected most of the patrons of the club would be
residents of that community and familiar with the character of the
neighborhood. He said he had contacted people to run the club and
felt he would be able to hire competent staff. The outside lights
had been improved and he did not feel loitering would be a problem.
Since no one else spoke for or against the matter the Mayor
declared the public hearing closed.
Cook x x
Motion: Grant use by exception to Fred Lewis to operate a Edwards x x
teen club at 18-20 Donner Road Tucker x
Weldon x
In discussion before the vote, Commissioner Cook expressed doubts Gulliford x
regarding the number of teenagers who would participate in
educational activities. He also clarified that the exception would
be granted to the applicant and would not run with the land. Mayor
Gulliford also read the portion of the city code which provided for
the revocation of a use by exception.
Mayor Gulliford asked the Police Chief for his opinion and Chief
Thompson said the teenagers needed a place where they could
interact positively with other teenagers. He voiced concern about
•
PAGE SEVEN V V
MINUTES NAME OF

the location but felt if it was properly run with no drugs,
alcohol, or cigarettes allowed, it could be an asset to the
community. However, he felt if proper standards were not required,
it could become a real problem. Chief Thompson also provided
records of calls the police department had responded to at DJ's
Lounge. While the numbers were high, he said the management of
DJ's had cooperated with the Police Department and had made a
number of changes and the calls, while still high, had been reduced
considerably.
Parks & Recreation Director Blanchard said she was opposed to the
location. As a result of the passage of Resolution No. 91-5
earlier in the evening, she said she would now have funds which she
would plan to use to improve Donner Park.
In response to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Lewis said he would
generate revenue from pool tables, video games, and snack bar.
George Worley, Community Development Director recommended that if
the exception is granted the city should consider attaching
conditions regarding hours of operation, and that the exception
should be reviewed by the city after a period of six months.
With no further discussion, the question was called and the motion
carried on a 3 - 2 vote with Commissioner Tucker and the Mayor
voting nay.
Mayor Gulliford suggested George Worley, the Police Chief and Mr.
Lewis get together and work out conditions that would be acceptable
to all concerned.
B. Discussion and action relative to master plan for bicycle
paths
This matter was discussed in conjunction with Agenda Item No. 3A.
C. Discussion and action relative to street paving and
resurfacing
Public Services Director Bob Kosoy presented a map which had been
color coded showing the dirt streets and those streets which had
been recommended for resurfacing or repaving. He also provided
lists of streets to be resurfaced or repaved. He felt the repaving
should be undertaken, and if funds were available, he also
recommended undertaking projects 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the list of
streets for resurfacing. A copy of the recommendations along with
estimated costs, are attached hereto and made a part hereof.
The City Manager said it may be possible to undertake this paving
work through the City of Jacksonville's bid and that the Beach
Avenue extension be included in the project.

FEBRUARY 11 , 19.91
It was noted that Main Street and Levy Road would be paved under
separate projects. The Mayor also noted that Church Road was
included in those streets to be repaved and he suggested that since
Church Road was a common boundary between Atlantic Beach and the
City of Jacksonville, Mr. Kosoy contact Jacksonville in an attempt
to have them share the cost of the work.
Motion: Accept the recommendation of the Public Services Cook x
Director regarding repaving and resurfacing, with Edwards x x

assistance from the City of Jacksonville Weldon x

D. Contract to continue service with Urban Planning Services,

Community Development Director George Worley explained this company
had worked with the city in connection with the revitalization plan
for the Donner Subdivision. Since this is an on-going project he
requested the the contract with this organization be continued in
an amount not to exceed $2,500.00.

In discussion before the vote, Commissioner Edwards inquired why Gulliford x
this had not been included in the original design but none of the
engineers was in attendance to respond to this. Mr. Kosoy stressed
that it was important to proceed with the work and it was agreed to
invite the engineers to attend the next meeting to respond to this
question. The question was called and the motion carried on a 4 -
1 vote with the Mayor voting nay.
9. City Manager reports and/or correspondence:
A. Discussion and related action regarding EPA imposed permit
regulations for storm water
The City Manager reported he had received a copy of a letter from
the USEPA to the City of Jacksonville advising that under the Water
Quality Act the EPA was requiring that smaller municipalities which
had a common discharge of storm water with larger municipalities be
subjected to the same requirements as the larger municipalities. He
said Atlantic Beach would be subjected to the Jacksonville
standards and he felt the cost to develop a plan and conduct
monitoring of storm water discharge could cost Atlantic Beach
between $80,000 and $150,000.
The City Manager said the Cities of Jacksonville Beach and Neptune
Beach had suggested retaining an environmental attorney, possibly
Mahoney Adams, to challenge this requirement. He also requested a
letter be sent from the Mayor protesting the application of these
standards. He said no monies had been budgeted for this fiscal
year to develop a storm water drainage plan.
The City Commission agreed with the City Manager regarding sending a
letter from the Mayor, and Mayor Gulliford suggested in the event
an attorney be hired to challenge this requirement, the cost should
be shared with the other cities based on population.
•

FEBRUARY 11, 1991 COMMAS. MSYN
After further discussion it was the general consensus the City
Managers and City Attorneys should get together and decide what
position the cities should take.
The City Manager requested a meeting be set to discuss the proposed
Beach Avenue water and sewer project and the special assessments
which would be levied to property owners in that connection. After
brief discussion, a meeting was scheduled for 6:15 PM on Monday,
March 11, 1991.
Commissioner Tucker inquired into the status of the Section H
Assessment Roll, and the City Attorney advised that he had spoken
with Dan Livermore, the attorney who had worked on this matter, and
he advised that a resolution had been tabled in 1988. He said some
changes would be necessary and it was decided to make those changes
and bring the resolution back at the next meeting.
Mayor Gulliford reminded the City Commission that the city had made
a contribution to F.O.P. Lodge #107 a year ago to help defray the
cost of operations. Since that facility is used by the Atlantic
Beach Police Department for training, they had requested a
contribution of $500.00 this year. Cook x
Edwards x
Motion: Authorize contribution in the amount of $500.00 to Tucker x x
F.O.P. Lodge #107 to defray the cost of operations Weldon x x
Gulliford x
In discussion before the vote, Police Chief Thompson advised that
the Atlantic beach Police Department used classroom facilities and
the firing range and he anticipated it would be used again this
spring for that purpose. The question was called and the motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Gulliford reported he had received a letter from William
Dorsey resigning from the Code Enforcement Board. Mary Lyle Perry
has moved out of Atlantic Beach and would also need to be replaced
on the board. He asked the Commissioners to bring suggestions to
the next meeting for appointments to fill these vacancies.
There being no further business to come before the City Commission,
the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 1 . PM.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Recommended Master Plan for Bike Paths
and Lanes for the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida
SUBMITTED BY: Kim D. Leinbach, City Managere-:';f201,
DATE: February 11, 1991
BACKGROUND: Contained within the FY 1990/91 budget for the City
of Atlantic Beach is an allocation of $40,000 for the purposes of
constructing or providing bicycle paths/lanes within our municipality. I
have discussed the matter with Parks & Recreation Director Rose Blanchard
and Public Services Director Bob Kosoy and we would like to present a
concept for your review and upon adoption of the same come back at your
next regular commission meeting with specific criteria and cost factors
to begin the initiation of our bicycle program.
In 1990, the Metropolitan Planning Organization made certain recommend-
ations for bicycle facilities within the City of Atlantic Beach. We have
incorporated their recommendations into our concept proposal to you and
please note we have divided the same into two categories - regional plan
routes and local plan routes. Following is a reiteration of the same:
LOCATION CLASSIFICATION
Seminole Road Regional
Sherry Drive Regional
Mayport Road Regional
Ocean Blvd. Local
Levy Road Local
Church Road Local
Plaza Local
Main Street Local
Basically, staff is looking at the regional bike paths as incorporating
two - four foot strips of asphalt or concrete adjacent to the paved
streets. Associated with this design is the need for appropriate signage
and street markings. Problems that may occur include difficulty in
matching the additional bike path widths to the crown of the road for
drainage, permitting with the required authorities for installation of
non-pervious surfaces, obstructions in the right-of-way, defensive
measures to protect bicycle riders from hazards (eg. ditches, ravines,
requiring barriers etc.) , designing bike paths safely within
intersections, et al. For the local bike paths we are recommending
marking existing street right-of-way and signing the same for bicycles.
Obviously this is the least costly method and the most expedient.
Problems we anticipate involve safety concerns, sufficient rights-of-way
widths, vehicular traffic activity, and so forth.
We are simply asking you tonight to consider the concept of these bike
paths and lanes. If you are in general agreement, or modification as
desired, we would like to present more specific information in regards to
these proposals at the next commission meeting. We will take into
account hazards, rights-of-way widths, number of vehicles, costs and
other data to more closely refine the plan. We do not anticipate being
able to fund the entire program, but would like to proceed at least on an
staged basis so as within a reasonable period of time the entire system
could be in place.
There are two other factors we wish to advise you in regards to provision
of our bicycle paths. First, we recommend consideration of installing
sidewalks from its current terminus at 15th Street on Seminole Road to
the end of our corporate limits at Hanna Park. We believe this would
promote segregation of pedestrian from bicycle traffic and reduce the
potential conflict between the two. Additionally, we wish to recommend
you consider an engineering analysis of the five-way intersection at
Seminole and Plaza. We feel this is a complex configuration and to
formally direct bicycle traffic thereon justifies a study with potential
improvements for everyone's safety.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval, (as modified, if you so desire) the bike
plan route system incorporating the regional and local elements.
