CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Requests from Ragtime
DACE: September 8, 1999
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, City Manager
BACKC~ROUN:D: This item was discussed at the August 23, 1999 Ciro Commission
IV1ee~ting, anti the City Manager was directed to meet with the
Mortons to discuss the matter further. On Wednesday, Se.~tember
1, 1999 at 2:00 PM, the City Manager met with Torn and 13111
Morton.
The Mortons provided a signed agreement with Frank R. Keasle;r,
Jr. to provide Ragtime employees with a "nonperpetual, non-
excausive and as-available access" to park at the parking lot in
Neptune Beach at the corner of 1st Street and Atlantic Blvd. Thais
certainly demonstrates an attempt on the part of the Mortons to
alleviate some of the parking problem around their business.
The; Mortons have also met with nearby business o~~mers to discuss
time, for the sidewalk cafe style business to work aut solutions 1:0
concerns from their neighbors.
Relative to the issue of pedestrian access, it appears that the
proposed layout will allow sufficient space for pedestrians to pass
through the area. However, this will have to be monitored to
assure that overflow crowds do not create an impediment: to
pedestrians.
After reviewing the proposals and discussing staff conce:ms, it
appears that the sidewalk cafe seating that is being proposed can be
added without creating major problems with other businesses or
pedestrians.,
The utilization of the City property will require several measures
including a contract with the City to use the property, the;
establishment of any user fees, the necessity for ,Use-bv-
Ex~reption f or additional seating without additional parking, and
the modification of the City Code to allow alcohol consumption on
City property. Other concerns expressed by staff ca:a be addressed
'""'` through the contractual agreement for use of the property.
One: issue that remains unresolved at this time is the: sealing and/or
protecting the bricks. This will require some additional research
and discussion through Town Center.
RECOMMENDATION: If the City Commission would like to grant the requests from
Ragtime, then the following recommendations are suggested:
1. Authorize the City Attorney to draft a con~:rac1: for
Ragtime's use of the City Property;
2. Establish a User fee for the use of the property;
3. Review and take action on the Use-by-Exception
request from the Community Developmer.~t Board;
and
4. Authorize the City Attorney to modify the existing
ordinance to allow the alcohol consumption
requested.

were approved.
I. Ap;~lication for ~Jse-by-Exception filled by Assad Halleak to operate a retail
the and stone business at property otivned by Bobby and Pauline Boenel<e known as Part
of Castro Y. Ferrer Grant, Section 3F3, Township 2 South, Range 29 East and located on
Atlantic BoulE:vard.
Mr. Halleak introduced himself and explained that pursuant to conc:,ems of the board
at the last meeting, he has submitted a revised .site plan indicating parking spaces,
setbacks, outsidE: storage and an on-site truck turn around at the location. Hf: stated that
the tractor-trailer trunks defiv~:ring materials would be able to enter into the driveway along
the western edge of the property and back into the warehouse portion of the building.
After discussion; Mr. Frohwein moved to recommend approval of the Use-by-
Exception subject to outside :storage being used only for raw materials and not discarded
materials, that tractor-trailer trucks only turn around within the property boundaries, and
that the exception be granted to the applicant only, for this location only. AArs. Pillmore

~,, Tavern to alfaw cafe style sidewalk seating at property located at 207 Atlantic Boulevard.
- --
Tom Morton introduced himself and stated that at the last meeting tree board was --
concerned with some legal issues that needed to be addressed before making a
~,r,,, .
recommendation.
Rona BrinlE:y, owner of Book Mark, introduced herself and reiteratE~d her concerns
regarding the utilization of parking spaces located in front of her business.
The Chairman expressed concern with the proposed door opening and railings„ He
stated that his ok-servation revealed potential problems and felt it would be unwise to
recommend approval of the use-by--exception as opposed to drafting an ordinance
regarding sidewalk cafes.
Mr. Waters suggested that the applicant pursue the acquisition of adjacent property
for 'the purposes of additional ;parking..
Responding tc~ questions from the board, Mr. Worley stated that Section 24-161
states that any deviation of parking requirements is to be handled as ause-by-exception.
After di:scu:ssion, the Chairman moved that the board recommend denial of the use-
by-exception and Mrs. Walker seconded the motion.
Mr. Waters stated he: did not favor sending a negative revie~r~ to the City
Commission since conditions could be placed on the use such as parking and wider
`~i~' walkways as well as putting an ordinance in place to deal with the concept which Atlantic
Beach is ideally ~~uited for.'
Mrs. WalkE;r stated that she felt the street should be closed to traffic befiore granting
a use-by-exception. She statesd that it would penalize the pedestrians. She suggested to
the applicant the ide<~ of rooft~ap dining.
Mr. Morton stated that when thE~y presented this idea they assumE:d there would be
issues to be addressed and felt confident they could make a valid attempt to come up with
solutions.
The Chain-nan suggested moving toward an ordinance allowing outsidE; seating for
special events with closed streets. ~ '
Mr. Frohwein stated he wanted the board to send a favorable message to the City
Cammission anti submit to them a proposed ordinance regarding outside dining. He
expressed concE:rn with the proper procedure to follow in this regard.
Mr. Worley stated that there should be an ordinance or formal agreement to allow
the use of public property similar to the Town Center Project. He stai:ed that the
agreement would follow the granting of ause-by-exception.
ww- -
Mrs. F'illmorE; stated she would like to see a positive recommendation and ~- -
suggested the Chairman withdraw the motion and start over. -- ~ -
Mrs Walker concurred with a presenting a positive recommendation to the City ~ - --
y~wr' .
Commission but: stated that there are some barriers that cannot be overcome until
someone builds the sidewalk out or the street is closed to traffic.
The Chairman stated he would be willing to stipulate concerns that the board has
and relate to the City Commission that they like the.idea as a practical matter but
recommends denial of the request but at the same time to encourage proceeding with an
ordinance.
The Chairmann withdrew his motion with the preface that he likes the idea of cafe-
style sidewalk seating which would be compatible with the ambience ~of thiss particular
location but has concerns with the way the use-by-exception is designed and because of
certain constrair~ts on this location. He moved that the application for use-by-exception
to the parking requirements ai: Ragtime Restaurant to allow cafe-style seating at the corner
of Atlantic Boulevard and OcE:an Boulevard without providing additional parking spaces be
denied. FurtherrnorE:, his concerns raised by the neighboring business, :>pecifically, Book
Mark, the desicln of the proposal regarding the hazards of limiting accE:ssibility by
pedestrian ar~d vehicular Traffic, and the use of City property. Mrs. Walker seconded the
motion.
Mr. Waters stated that there is no private property in front of Ragtime and the City
nE;eds to leave unimpeded the bricks with citizens names located on the sidewalk.
~~ar+i ~
Mr. JensE:n si:ated that the last thing needed is another ordinance on thE: books. He
stated that the City does agreements with various entities for use of public property, city
rights-of-way, to-wit: gas companies, telephone companies and JEA. He stated that the
applicant is seeking a very lirnited, isolated instance. He stated that the resolution which
is basically an agreement between the city and the applicant. He stated ghat the matter on
the agenda far this rneeting is strictly ause-by-exception for parking and additional tables.
He stated the .appiicant would have to go to the City Commission any vray to seek
permission to use publicly owned property which would be accomplished by agreement or
resolution.
After discussion, Mr. Wolfson withdrew his motion and made a new motion to
recommend to'the City Comrnission that the use-by-exception to the parking r~aquirements
fior Ragtime Re~;taurant to allow cafe-style seating at the corner of Atlantic Boulevard and
Ocean Boulevard without providing additional parking spaces be denied and Mrs. Walker
seconded the motion.
Mrs. Pillmore stated that she would {ike the information regarding possible planning
and coordinating with Tovvn Center attached to the recommendation to the City
Commission.
~r
Mr. Watf~rs voiced his objection with the way the recommendation ended up this - __
evening because the applicant would not be able to present the motion again for aperiod -- -__
. • of one year.
„~~
Responding to a question raised by Mr. Frohwein, Mr. Worley stated tfiat~the owner
could place 32 seams and some tablEa outside on his property and servE; lunch and dinner
without the usE:-by--ex:ceptioin. .
Mr. F~rot'~wein stated 17e opposed the motion as made.
Mr. Jensen stated that he thought it advisable for the City Commission to consider
t:he use-by-exception and rE:solutiori or agreement at the same time.
The applicannt expressed his concern that the City Commission would not hear the
positive suggestions made at this meeting. He stated he would feel more; comfortable
having a positive recommendation from this board an not just a recommendation for denial
of the requested userfay-excyeption.
Mr. Waters :stated that he did not understand why the applicant could not go straighi:
to the City Cornmission requesting an ordinance establishing the concept in the city.
On request from Mr. Frohwein the chairman polled the members. and the result was
4-2 in favor of recommending denial of the use-be-exception with Mr.. Frohwein and Mr..
Waters opposed.
-- The Chairman explained to the applicant that he could withdraw his application at
this meeting or at the City Commission meeting. He further explained that even with the
vote for denial the applicant: can still work toward the resolution with the City and present
the whole con~epi: at: that meeting.
Mr.lNaters questioned whether the board could grant an exception for parking for
one year only.
The Chairman read Section 24-63(6) which states that the City Commission may
as a condition tc- the granting of an application for permit impose su~:,h conditions,
restrictions or limitations in the use of the premises or upon the use of the premises as
requested in the application as the City Commission may deem appropriai:e.
After discussion, Mr:~. Pillmore moved to call the vote of the motion. Thereupon, the
board voted to pass the motion to recommend denial and the motion carriE:d by <~ vote of
4 - 2 with Mr. Frohwein and Mr. Waters dissenting.
The Chairman requested each member complete their findings of fact worksheets
and turn them in to the Recording Secretary.
DISCUSS[O~~! -
a. Traffic Patterns in Old Atlantic Beach (C~ ~~i>
~,~
Mr. Worley stated that the board was furnished copies of the straffic study by the
City which acidrE:ssEld traffic flow and parking and which was intended to address parking
problems. He stated that the study branched out to include traffic patterns and offered
some possible solutions including .re-routing of traffic by creating one-way streets and
certain traffic calming techniques. As a result of a one-way street questions from a City
Commissioner last month, the City Manager has provided them a written response and a
copy of that response was also furnished to the board members. He stated he also had
color photogra~~hs i~rom the traffic s#.udy if anyone needed to see them.
Mrs. I'illmorf~ stated she felt that the study was not presented to the board from a
neutral position but that the report had been conducted without interaction to change. She
stated she would rather havE; seen the report suggest possible changes and solutions that
the City needs to work out.:~he stated she felt that there are solutions and thE;y should be
tested, specifically, one-way streets.
Mr. Frohwein suggested that: stowing down the speed with regulatory signs might
divert traffic in a different direction to roads that have a higher speed limit such as East
Coast Drive and Ocean Boulevard. He requested feedback from staf and other board
members. 1-te :~tatE~d that this is the third time this board has discussed traffic filow a,nd no
recommendations have been made.
-~ Mr. Woriey stated that he did not believe that a significant traffic reduction could be
achieved by reducing the speed limit. He stated that half of speeding complaints he has
heard involve E3each Avenue because there are so many pedestrians.
Mr. V~oli-son requested staff submit the matter to the Public Safety Department for
recommendations and weighted solution.
Mrs. Walker stated she could not make a recommendation until she has seen the
numbers on the matter.
Mrs. Pillmore stated that the angle parking at Adele Grage Communifi~r Center was
an excellent idea.
Mr. Wolfsor- suggested that Town Center designate angle parking between Ahern
and First Street and paint and stripe it accordingly.
After discussion regarding suggestions and solutions the consE:nsus of the board
was to conduct a survey to ascertain various problems and possible solutions
Mr. Frahwc:in stated that the survey should address which areas want: traffic
calming.

discussion of a :;pedal zaninc~ district: which addresses cafe style seating, parking etc.

Mr•. Dati~d Thampum
City Manager
Ci~:s- of Atlantic Be<tch
Dear Chief Thompson:
Tl~~ank you for taking the time to research and discuss our idea of adding sidewalk ca.f~ style
seating at Ragtime. At this time I am requesting consideration of this idea b5 the City of
Atlantic Beach. Sidewalk cafes are a desirable and integral component of the ambiance of
cities 4~gr, and small all rn-er the world I have enclosed some materials, which illu~~ate a
similar situation worked out by Big River Breweries and the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
A:s you may know. Big River is the pamrrt corrrpaarF to Ragtime Tavern since, Janney 1998.
To my mind the key to this arrangement is the granting of temporary and provisional use of
the sidewalk to Bi€; Ritizr by the City. "this allows the city to iernrinate the permission at arry
tine with reasonable notice. Furthermore, the sidewalk seating and service areas are
implemented ~itlxnat any pa~nancnt fixtures.
As we dis<ms Che addition of sidewalk seatsrtg wrnild be an enhancement to the "Coven
Center area or more than fifteen years Ragtime has been instrumental in enhancntg bath the
quality of life and emrironment in our community, and we feel this project would bc; an
appropriate additicm in those areas. After revieRZng this irdarmation please contact meat
Your convenience err we may determine how to take the next step. Thanks again for your
consideration on tl:tis matter.
s;r~~ry.
