11-15-18 Handout-WappesMadam Mayor, Honorable Commissioners of the City of Atlantic Beach
As you are aware, former Commissioner Stinson, before his resignation, provided the Parking and
Pedestrian Safety Advisory Resource Committee's (PPSARC) recommendations addressing safety issues
identified at 10th St, 18th St, 19th St, and 20th St. The most contentious of these it would seem, is the
recommendation to limit parking on 18th to parallel (removing 25 existing (nose in) spaces). This
recommendation was made as 18th St., at its widest, is only 45' wide and in some places, only 34. A 5'
wide path not entailing retaining walls reduces that width to less than 35'. Nose in parking currently on
18th measures 17' long. Even if 17-18ft is acceptable to staff for two way traffic, that particular
configuration still does not address the most significant issue during the peak summer
months...beachgoers routinely block at least one lane of traffic while loading/unloading their vehicles.
The nose in parking also means drivers backing out (between SUV's/trucks/vans) have extremely limited
visibility especially of pre-school/primary school aged children.
Our recommendation addresses these potentially serious safety issues.
Another argument was that east -bound drivers would routinely engage in 4-6 point illegal U-turns to
lawfully park in spaces on the north side of 18th. While not included in our recommendation, it was
evident to the committee that there would need to be an education process which might include pvc
barrier poles down the center of the road and "181h Street Parking" directional signs at 17th. Ocean
Grove, and Beach which would properly orient drivers parking on the north side.
In making our very difficult recommendation, we had debated and discounted virtually every other
alternative (subsequently presented to you by staff) as no other alternative satisfactorily addresses the
unloading issue, a walking path other than the middle of the street, improving driver sightlines and
maintaining adequate street width to accommodate 2 way traffic (to include emergency vehicles) at all
times.
Some also have raised concerns that, by removing the spaces on 18th, the city is making its beaches less
accessible to the public and especially to our fellow Atlantic Beach residents to the West.
Early in its deliberations, the PPSARC, in an attempt to resolve issues within its charter, realized that a
thorough inventory of the parking situation in our city (especially the area from Atlantic Blvd to Hanna
Park east of Ocean) needed to be conducted. That extensive inventory resulted in the identification of
numerous other parking opportunities within the city which would more than offset those
recommended for removal and not create further safety concerns in so doing. While not in the area of
the inventory, parking opportunities on the 100' ROW on Saturiba, similarly wide ROW's on Country
Club, 17th, and 19t', the more than 50 spaces at Johanson Park (when used in conjunction with the free
shuttle service currently available) will allow even greater access should that be the Commission's
desire.
The most troubling objection to our recommendation was that it might have serious fiscal ramifications
as it relates to the Beach Re -Nourishment contract. Attached is a summary gleaned from our survey
which reflects this IS NOT the case based upon information available to us. Specifically, our inventory
revealed Atlantic Beach has nearly 75 more identified spaces than necessary under the contract.
Additionally, based upon information provided by Olsen -Associates, nearly 800' of beachfront was
locally funded based upon apparently incomplete/inaccurate parking information. When the committee
applied its inventory findings to the contract criteria, we found it highly likely that, in addition to having
72 excess parking spaces, properly identifying them would result in 100% federal funding at a possible
savings to the State and County of over $200,000. We, and more specifically, former Commissioner
Stinson have tried to work with Olsen Associates to address these notable discrepancies but they have
chosen to remain unresponsive.

62B-36.007 Project Cost Sharing.
(1) Until the unsatisfied demand for restoring and repairing Florida's beaches is met, the Department intends to share in the
costs of beach management projects with local sponsors. Cost sharing will only be applied to the portion of the project necessary to
benefit shoreline designated by the Department as critically eroded. The Department shall cost share up to 50 percent of the total
costs for non-federal beach management projects. The Department shall cost share up to 50 percent of the non-federal share of U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works projects. The Department shall cost share up to 50 percent of the non-federal and state
emergency fund share for projects approved to receive Federal Emergency Management Agency Public Assistance funding
(Category G or equivalent subsequent program for designed, constructed and routinely maintained beaches). State cost share is
subject to adjustment for the level of public accessibility calculated for beach management projects. Project shoreline lengths
eligible for cost sharing are quantified at the rate of 100 units of eligibility per mile (5,280 feet) or 52.8 feet per unit. A unit is
defined as one automobile parking space, one rental unit in a Public Lodging Establishment, one mass transit stop, or 4 bicycle
parking spots. Eligible shoreline lengths are calculated using the following criteria:
(a) Primary beach access sites shall be granted eligibility for the shoreline length of the access site. Additional eligibility shall
be granted at a rate of 52.8 linear feet per unit for one-half mile in each shore parallel direction for the following units;
1. Automobile parking spaces located within one quarter mile of a primary access site may be granted eligibility for that public
access site at the rate of one unit, or 52.8 feet, per parking space.
2. Bicycle parking Iocated within one quarter mile of a primary access site may be grantcd eligibility at the rate of one-quarter
of a unit, or 13.2 feet, per designated bicycle parking spot. Bicycle parking spots used for eligibility may not exceed 211.2 feet per
public access site.
3. Mass transit, such as buses or trolleys, may be granted eligibility at the rate of one unit, or 52.8 feet, per bus stop located
within one quarter mile of the public access site. Bus stops used for eligibility may not exceed 211.2 feet per public access. In order
to qualify, mass transit must be accessible to the general public and operational year round.
(b) Beachfront public lodging establishments shall be granted eligibility based upon 52.8 feet of shoreline eligibility per unit
available to the public. Maximum eligibility may not exceed the beach front width of the property.
(c) Secondary beach access sites shall be granted eligibility for the shoreline length of the access site. Additional eligibility shall
be granted at a rate of 52.8 linear feet per unit for up to one-quarter mile in either shore parallel direction, for the following units:
1. Public lodging establishments not located on the beach front but located within one quarter mile of a secondary public access
point may contribute to the eligibility for that public access site at the rate of 52.8 feet of shoreline eligibility per rental unit available
to the public. Maximum eligibility may not exceed the street -side frontal width of the property.
2. Bicycle parking located within one quarter mile of a secondary access site may be granted eligibility at the rate of 13.2 feet
per designated bicycle parking spot. Bicycle parking spots used for eligibility may not exceed 211.2 feet per public access site.
3. Mass transit, such as buses or trolleys, may be granted eligibility for that public access site at the rate of one unit, or 52.8 feet,
per bus stop located within one quarter mile of the public access site. Bus stops used for eligibility may not exceed 211.2 feet per
public access. In order to qualify, mass transit must be accessible to the general public and operational year round.
4. Automobile parking spaces located within one quarter mile of a secondary access site may be granted eligibility for that
public access site at the rate of one unit, or 52.8 feet, per parking space.
(d) Eligible shoreline lengths cannot overlap.
(e) The sum of the eligible shoreline lengths, as defined above, is divided by the total project length to determine the percentage
of the total project that is eligible for cost sharing.
(f) The Department shall pay up to 100 percent of the costs of approved beach management projects when construction and
maintenance are on lands with public beach access of which the state is the upland riparian owner and such lands are managed by
the state.
(2) For inlet management projects, the Department shall cost -share 75 percent of the non-federal cost with the local sponsor for
eligible components, pursuant to Section 161.143(3), F.S.
(3) Cost savings which occur due to the planned geographic coordination or sequencing of two or more projects between local
sponsors, may qualify for additional reimbursement. Geographic sequencing means combining two projects together for the purpose
of contracting. In order to determine the increase in the state's cost share the projects shall demonstrate the cost savings of
combining the projects and request reimbursement for the demonstrated cost savings following completion of the project phase. The
cost share shall be adjusted not to exceed the state's maximum cost share amount of 75 percent of the eligible costs.
(4) All costs of physical and biological monitoring required by state and federal permits are eligible for cost sharing.
(5) A local sponsor may voluntarily agree at any time that an appropriation cannot be used and provide the Department with
written agreement that such funds shall be available for reallocation.
(6) The Department will cost share for private contractual services necessary to conduct the project. Services may be contracted
to a local sponsor if the Department is shown evidence that the local sponsor's proposal is cost effective, of sufficient professional
quality, and otherwise in the general public interest. In determining whether contractual services are cost effective, the Department
shall consider cost estimates provided by the local sponsor from fully qualified private companies or individuals. Specific
contractual services performed by or for local governments shall be subject to specific accountability measures and audit
requirements and be consistent with the principles of Chapter 287, F.S., for competitive bidding and opportunity.
