The City of Atlantic Beach is in receipt of your letter of appeal to the tree mitigation for the property
located at 1730 Ocean Grove Drive, and City Manager Jim Hanson has asked that I notify you of the
required $125.00 fee, per Section 23-26(a)(4) of the Municipal Code of Ordinances. Once this fee has
been processed, your appeal can be scheduled for public hearing at a subsequent City Commission meeting.
The following excerpt from Chapter 23, Protection of Trees and Native Vegetation, outlines the appellant
process.
SECTION 23-25. APPEALS.
(a) Procedure to file an appeal. Appeals of final actions or decisions by the Tree
Conservation Board made under the authority of this Chapter may be made by adversely
affected person(s) to the City Commission in accordance with the following provisions.
(1) Such appeal shall be filed in writing with the City Clerk within thirty (30) days
after rendition of the decision or final order being appealed.
(2) Appeals shall be heard at a public hearing within a reasonable period of time
with proper notice, as well as due notice of interested parties.
(3) It shall be the responsibility of the appellant to demonstrate that the final action
or decision being appealed was improper or not in accordance with the
provisions of this Chapter.
(4) In the case that the City Commission finds the appeal to have merit, the City
Commission shall have the authority to rescind or modify the original final
action or decision, and/or remand the matter to the Administrator or the Tree
Conservation Board for reconsideration.
(b) Stay of work. Such appeal to the City Commission shall stay all work on the premises
and all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed, unless the appropriate
designated administrative official shall certify to the City Commission that a stay would
cause imminent peril to life or property.
