CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 3TAIMayport Road Retention
SUBMITTED BY: Jim
.DATE: November ~, 2000
BACI{GROUND: The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) first made the
City awaze of a proposed new retention pond to be located adjacent
to Mayport Road in June of this year. The JTA had already chosen
the location on the east side of Mayport Road directly north of the
Hess station and south of the new Best Western Hotel under
construction. This proposed pond has been brought to the City
Commission's attention on several occasions since then and City
representatives have met with the JTA on two occasions
(September 12'" and October 2'7"') as well as written letters and had
numerous phone conversations to convey the City's concerns about
the way the pond would look on completion and to propose/discuss
various alternatives. One of the most promising alternatives was to
extend the pond behind the Hess station into vacant property which
is also adjacent to the City's water plant.
The JTA's engineers have considered the alternatives proposed by
the City and have determined that most of them are not feasible.
The option extending the pond behind the Hess property was
eliminated because of a state law limiting the proximity of retention
ponds to wells for public drinking systems. The City's well
restricts the construction of a pond on the Hess property and the
cost to relocate the City's well was prohibitive.
While most of the alternatives would not work, the 7TA was able to
"swap" some of the capacity needed in this new retention pond
with other ponds being constructed as part of the Wonderwood
project. Because the 7TA has been able to reduce the volume
needed for this pond, the slope of the pond could be reduced 4: I
and the proposed fence has therefore been eliminated from the
plans.

While the fence has been eliminated, the "footprint" of the pond
remains essentially the same and utilizes almost all of the property,
leaving only enough for a maintenance berm around the outside
perimeter. It is clear that almost all of the trees will have to be
removed from the site and that there will be very little room for
replanting. The 3TA will not be able to meet the City's tree
mitigation requirements on site.
JTA officials have indicated they believe there is a legal problem
with TTA paying money into the City's Tree Mitigation Fund and
have offered instead to provide for the equivalent amount of
mitigation needed on other publicly owned property along the
Mayport Road corridor. One possibility that has been discussed is
the possible creation of landscaped medians on Mayport Road
much like those that exist along Atlantic Boulevard. The TI'A is
preparing a proposed interlocal agreement between the City and the
JTA wherein they will commit to tree mitigation along other
portions of the Mayport corridor.
Final plans have not yeYbeen submitted to the City's Tree Board
and it is appropriate for the Commission to hear their
recommendation prior to taking any action on an interlocal
agreement.
BUDGET: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: No action is recommended by the City Commission at this time.
This report is submitted for your information only.

Compensatory Treatment Pond" which was received by the City
