MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jim Hanson
City Manager
SUBJECT: Follow-up Report
8`h Street Beach Access: A complaint was raised at the last Commission meeting that a
contractor constructing a pool had damaged the walkway at the 8d` Street beach access. Timmy
Johnson had already been awaze of the problem and discussed it with the representative of
Palace Pools who did the damage. Repairs to the 8d' Street wallcway have since been
completed.
Meetings at Alternate Locations; A suggestion was made at the last meeting that the City
Commission occasionally schedule a regular meeting at locations other than the Commission
Chambers so that they would be more accessible for all residents of the community. Before
scheduling Commission meetings at alternate locations, a code change would be required.
Section 2-16. "Time and Place of Regulaz Meetings" reads as follows;
"The regular meetings of the City Commission shall be held on the 2nd and 4d' Mondays
of each month, except December, in City Hall, at 7:15 pm."
Handrails oa Dune Crossovers: A recommendation was made at a recent Commission
meeting that the handrails for the new dune walkovers that are being planned in connection
with the grant from the City of Jacksonville be slanted rather than flat so that people cannot sit
on them. After discussion with the City staff, no problems have been identified relating to the
slanted design and they will be incorporated when the walkovers are built.
Begonia Street Esit from Tideviews Park= The question was raised at a recent Commission
meeting about whether an emergency exit would be reestablished at the end of the Tideviews
Pazk parking lot (old Begonia Street) to allow an exit onto Atlantic Boulevard. No emergency
exit was incorporated into the plans for Tideviews Pazk. Instead, a small retention pond was
constructed at the end of the old Begonia Street to comply with the Water Management
District's requirements. That pond will be reestablished when JTA completes their work on
the Flyover Project. No emergency exit from Tideviews Pazk has existed recently or is
planned in the future.

Complaint about Trash Collection at the Cloisters; City Staff has spoken with BFI
management about the complaint that trash crews were collecting from the Cloisters at 7:00 am
on Saturday mornings and blowing their horn to get entrance to the gate. BFI will change their
route so that the trash is collected later in the morning and arrangements have been made with
the Cloisters Condo Association to allow the trash truck to enter without blowing their horn to
get one of the residents to open the gate.
Dirt Piles on Seminole Road; Someone expressed concern over two residential properties on
Seminole Road having piles of dirt in their front yard, one for several months. The one located
at 1445 Seminole Road which recently had the dirt placed was given two weeks to move it by
the City's Code Inspector. The dirt piles were at least partially on the City's right-of--way
giving the City authority to require their removal. The second property at 1495 East Coast
Drive is in the process of renovating their yard and explained that they would have the mounds
eliminated in approximately a month. In this second case, the mounds of dirt are entirely on
the owner's property and do not violate City code.
Bike Lanes in Flyover Project; A drawing showing the areas designated for bicycles on
the Flyover Project is attached.
