ATLANTIC BEACH, FL 32233-5323
CASE NUMBER: 18-287 PROPERTY ADDRESS: 541 BEACH AVE
Dear Mr. Petersen:
On April 17, 2017, the City of Atlantic Beach adoped a sea turtle protectoin ordinance to minimize the
detrimental effects of artificial lighting on sea turtles during their nesting season. Specifically, artificial
lighting that disorients sea turtles and their hatchlings.
The City of Atlantic Beach ordinance reads as follows for existing dwellings:
Section 5-38. - Standards for existing lighting.
No later than May 1, 2020, all owners of property located within the sea turtle protection area shall
determine if any existing artificial lighting on their property is directly or indirectly visible and take the
following corrective actions to reduce or eliminate the negative effects of such artificial lighting:
(a) One (1) or more of the following measures shall be taken to reduce or eliminate the negative
effects of existing exterior artificial lighting so that the point source of light or any reflective
surface a light fixture is not directly or indirectly visible:
(1) Reposition fixtures so that the point source of light or any reflective surface is no longer
directly or indirectly visible;
(2) Replace fixtures having an exposed light source with fixtures containing recessed light
sources or shields;
(3) Replace traditional light bulbs with low wattage, long wavelength light sources;
(4) Replace non-directional fixtures with directional fixtures that point down and away from
the beach;
(5) Replace fixtures having transparent or translucent coverings with fixtures having opaque
shields covering an arc of at least 180 degrees and extending an appropriate distance
below the bottom edge of the fixture on the seaward side so that the light source or any
reflective surface of the light fixture is not directly or indirectly visible;
(6) Replace pole lamps with low-profile, low-level luminaries so that the light source or any
reflective surface is not directly or indirectly visible;
(7) Replace incandescent, fluorescent, and high intensity lighting with the lowest wattage,
long wavelength lighting possible for the specific application;
(8) Plant or improve vegetation buffers between the light source and the beach to screen
artificial light;
(9) Construct a ground-level barrier to shield light sources from the beach. Ground-level
barriers must not interfere with marine turtle nesting or hatchling emergence, or cause
short- or long-term damage to the beach/dune system;
(10) Permanently remove or permanently disable any fixture which cannot be brought into
compliance with the provisions of these standards.
(a) One (1) or more of the following measures shall be taken to reduce or eliminate the negative
effects of interior light emanating from doors and windows within line-of-sight of the beach:
(1) Window tint or film shall be installed that meets the standards for tinted glass;
(2) Rearrange lamps and other moveable fixtures away from windows;
(3) Use window treatments(e.g., blinds, curtains)to shield interior lights from the beach;
(4) Turn off unnecessary lights.
(b) Exterior lights used expressly for safety or security purposes shall be limited to the minimum
number and configuration required to achieve their functional role(s). The use of motion
detectors that keep lights off except when approached and that switch lights off within 5
minutes are required.
Your cooperation is requested that you comply with the sea turtle protection ordinance within(5) days
of the date of this notice. Ihave attached a brochure outlining the lighting requirement that may help
you. If you have any questions,please don't hesitate to contact me. (904) 247-5855

I don't believe he spoke with the homeowners because it was after 2am when he checked! I will have him
gather the addresses besides 541 Beach Ave!

Sergeant Jevic,
I performed a property check on the beach near 5th street at
approximately 2:15 AM and noticed these lights. They are coming from
541 Beach Ave. One of the pictures is from the 5th street beach access,
near the sea turtle nesting site. The other is from behind the house
near the top of the dune. Let me know if this works.Thank you!
