Exh 9q CITY MANAGER REPORT CITY COMMISSION MEETING ' FEBRUARY 8,1999 r 8 ~ I 1. The Fire Contract with Jacksonville will be placed on the February 22, 1999 agenda once it has been approved by the Jacksonville City Council. It is expected to be out of committee and approved by the City Council by February 9, 1999. After Jacksonville has completed its evaluations and amendments, it will be placed on the Atlantic Beach agenda for review and action as appropriate. 2. The plans for the proposed roundabout at the five-way stop has been forwazded to Jacksonville Traffic Engineering where they aze going to review it and provide us with some guidance. Although the plan appears to have some aesthetic appeal, there aze a number of anticipated problems relative to the turning radius, pedestrian crossings, and the effectiveness of such a mechanism at a high volume intersection. When we receive an opinion from the engineer, we will refer the plan to members of the Parking/Traffic committee as directed by the City Commission. 3. Public Works Status Report: In response to a request for updates on Public Works Projects, I have attached an update from the Public Works Director. The status block does not contain all of the work that has been done on a project. It simply provides an update to the current status of each project. 4. At the last City Commission Meeting, there was a question relative to limitations or screening for the people who could call RAM to discuss the core city utility improvements. Please see the attached letter from Mr. Jazboe to R-A-M assuring that all requests be approved by the City Manager or the Public Works Director. 5. The JTA right-of--way purchase offer discussed at the last meeting is under review. The Realtor who is handling the purchase has been asked to stake the property lines so that eve can visibly see where the lines are proposed. Without this detail, it is difficult to assess its impact on the City facility at that location. The Realtor said that they will let me know as soon as the stakes are done. Additionally, we are researching the price that the City paid for the property ($ per area) so that we can apply it to the area that Jacksonville wishes to purchase. This will give us abetter idea of what we paid for it and what Jacksonville should pay us for it. 6. Please see the memorandum dated January 27, 1999 from the Public Works Director to the Division Director in Public Works. This memo was intended to document a telephone call from Ms. Andie Pennell complimenting them on some work that they completed in the Aquatic Gardens azea recently. t 7. Selva Marina follow-up on drainage, roads, etc. The Christmas trees were picked up last week, and the Public Works Director and City Manager spent time with residents during the rain on January 31, 1999 and February 1, 1999 to observe some of the problems first-hand. Relative to some of the major issues, city staff is offering assistance to assist homeowners with understanding the problems and the options for "fixing" their streets. Relative to drainage around the Friedemann's home, as brought to the City Commission on January 11, 1998 under Visitors, please see the attached memorandum from Public Works Director Bob Kosoy dated February 3, 1999. We will follow up with residents to assist them in this matter. 8. Please see the letter to Public Works Director Bob Kosoy from the Environmental Recovery Group expressing appreciation for the Levy Road improvements. 9. On Wednesday, January 27, 1999, Commissioner Borno, City Attorney Alan Jensen, Public Works Director Bob Kosoy, and I met to discuss the Peoples Gas contract proposals. Several additions and modifications were discussed, and Mr. Jensen is prepazing the language for further review and consideration. When the revisions are completed and reviewed, the committee will bring the matter back to the City Commission. 10. We received a letter from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation regazding a proposed development including property on West 5th, 6th, and 7th Street in Atlantic Beach. Please see the attached letter and related City Commission action. This is for the purpose of the developer obtaining grant funding and tax benefits relative to the development. This development was originally proposed in 1997, and the City Commission approved the replatting of the property to accommodate the plans. After reviewing the history of this including the City Commission's actions that were supportive of the proposal, I have sent a letter of support to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. t l C I T.Y OF ~~~i.°ct~ic ~eac~ - ~~vtc~i C3> 1200 SANDPIPER LANE ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA 32233-4381 TELEPHONE (904) 247-5834 FAR (904) 247-5843 MEMORANDUM February 1, 1999 TO: DAVID THOMPSON CITY MANAGER FROM: BOB KOSOY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR RE: PROJECT STATUS REPORT Attached is the updated status report on Public Works projects recently completed or currently underway.

My compliments to you and your crew. cc: David Thompson, City Manager RSK/Imh Cam) ~~ MEMORANDUM February 3, 1999 TO: David Thompson, City Manager FROM: Bob Kosoy, Director of Public Works "~~ SUBJECT: Drainage Problem at 1898 Selva Marina Drive On Monday, February 1, 1999, after a morning rain, you and I met Mr. & Mrs. Friedemann at their home at 1898 Selva Marina Drive. We toured the property with Mr. Friedemann and reviewed the drainage problems at his home and at 1904 Selva Marina Drive. At this meeting he was informed that we would be reviewing City drainage maps to determine ownership and location of existing drainage paths and structures. On Tuesday, February 2"d ,Jim Deming and 1 located manhole #4 behind inlet #1 on Sevilla Blvd. West This manhole was covered by approximately one foot of topsoil and sod. We confirmed that the pipe from inlet #1 was not making an abrupt turn, but went into this manhole and then an 18" concrete pipe continued behind lots 1-4 to the wetlands. We did not uncover manhole #2 because this was covered by over 2' of mulch and topsoil as confirmed by a probing rod. We confirmed that ownership of this drainage system belongs to the Sevilla Gardens Homeowners' Association, Inc. as filed in Volume 6617, Page 2287 of the Official Records. In addition, minutes of the June 26, 1989 commission meeting confirm that the City Commission accepted water and sewer improvements in Sevilla Gardens for maintenance. It is recommended that the lids to manholes #1 and #2 be converted to catch basin style covers, and that another catch basin be installed between lots 3 and 4 to accept drainage between the lots. We will be happy to work with the Homeowners' Association and residents to recommend contractors and discuss the work needed to improve the drainage problem. l . ~ .. ~ ~ •R~C'D FEB ~: - X999 ~ . ~ E~G . .~ (~~ ~ ~ - • " ~ Environmental . • ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ .~ ~ • ~ ~ recovery Group -, - .' ~ - l 1 levy aoad --~-- ~).

The complex will contain 10 duplex buildings totaling 20 residential units which confiorms to the density and building type permitted by the RG-1 zoning of the lots as well as a swimming pool and community building. The purpose of the re-platting is to permit the shifting of the structures to allow the common elements to be included. The front yard setbacks will confiorm to the RG-1 district requirement of 20 feet. Separation between buildings will be ten feet on side yards. The RG-1 district requires a total of 15 feet with a minimum of five feet. This flexible arrangement would allow buildings on adjacent lots to be as close as ten feet apart as is proposed by the applicant. The RG-1 rear yard setback requirement will be met for all of the buildings except for the common swimming pool and club house which adjoin the buildings labeled 9110, 11/12, 17118, and 19/20 on the site plan. The actual separation between these common structures and the adjoining residential building exceeds 25 feet. At the permitting stage alt of these setback requirements, along with parking and driveway locations and underground utility placement must be reviewed and approved by the Building, Public Works and Community Development departments. Following the review by the Community Development Board, the applican#s requested #hat the provisions of Section 24-82 (g) relating to duplicate structures be waived to permit the buildings to share a common general appearance. Upon review of the requirements and in recognition of the authority granted to the Community Development Board by Chapter 24 of the Code of Ordinances, Staff believes that this request is more appropriately handled as a Variance and should not be addressed by the City Commission as part of the re-plat process. This request can be submitted to the Community Development Board at any time prior to submission of the construction drawings. ./,z~~8
