motion to appoint three new

City Council held a
Public Hearing on an ordinance to amend the Parkway Planned Development District (PDD) Development
Agreement.
The ordinance would
amend the method of reimbursement to the City from the various landowners
within the PDD for construction and paving costs associated with the PDD
interchange. The City paid $3.2 million for the interchange and paving of a
section of Water Tower Road, with the development agreement requirement that
the property owners reimburse the City via a fee per residential unit and a
per-square-foot fee for commercial space, paid at the issuance of building
permits. However, since the original development agreement a small portion of
the PDD is now in conservation easement. The amended development agreement
would require each landowner, with the exception of Chubby Chicken, to pay the
City a fixed reimbursement amount in five equal payments based on an eight-year
amortization schedule, beginning December 31, 2020, with a balloon payment of
all amounts still due and owing by December 31, 2024. Chubby Chicken would pay
the City three equal payments of $100,000 beginning December 31, 2020.
The amounts the
landowners would pay to the City under the amended development agreement are:
-- Henry Road West: $869,000
-- Coterra: $864,000
-- NDG II: $532,000
-- NDG I: $150.000
-- Apache: $443,000
-- Chubby Chicken:
$300,000 (Conservation Easement)
-- Myrtle Holding:
$42,000
-- TOTAL: $3,200,000
City Council passed
first reading of an ordinance to amend the Parkway Planned Development District Development
Agreement. The ordinance would amend the method of reimbursement to the City
from the various landowners within the PDD for construction and paving costs
associated with the PDD interchange.
City Council tabled a
Public Hearing on an ordinance to approve documents identified as the Separate and Independent
Amendment to the Master Development Agreement regarding the portions of the
Parkway Planned Development District (PDD) owned by Coterra Chestnut, LLC and
NDG Property II, LLC, respectively. Council will schedule a workshop on the

City Council passed
first reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 5, Beaches & Waterways, Section 5-5, Surfboards to
expand surfing zones.
Currently, five surf
zones allow for surfing May 15-September 15, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. There are
additional areas where beach usage is sufficiently low to allow for expansion
of surfing areas.
The proposed additional
surfing zones:
-- Begin at Hog Inlet
and end at 5th Avenue North with the exception of 300 feet on the north side
and south side of the Cherry Grove Pier.
-- Begin at 6th Avenue
South and end at 27th Avenue South.
-- Begin at the Town of
Atlantic Beach southern limit and end at 46th Avenue South.
The director of public
safety or his designee may temporarily prohibit surfboarding and/or
skimboarding in these areas for public safety purposes.
City Council passed
first reading of an ordinance offering a major amendment to the Robber’s Roost Planned
Development District (PDD), revising standards for the Neighborhood Overlay
Zone pertaining to porches and recessed garages. The amendment would affect the
residential portion of the PDD. Chris Manning of Robbers Roost @ NMB, LLC
requested the amendment.
As presented for first
reading, the architectural standards would:
-- Delete the
requirement for garage doors to be recessed from the front facade, allowing
garage doors to protrude forward from the front facade no more than four feet.
Council members indicated that during second reading of this ordinance, they
might amend the ordinance to limit the protrusion of garage doors to no more
than two feet.
-- Require a minimum of
20 feet of driveway between any garage door and the front property line.
Council members indicated that during second reading of this ordinance they
might amend the ordinance to require 24 feet of driveway.
-- Revise the minimum
width of porches to require 25 percent of the frontage of the facade facing the
street or a six-foot minimum when a third garage bay is part of the home
design.
City Council passed
first reading of an ordinance offering a major amendment to the Barefoot Landing Planned
Development District (PDD), adding rooftop signage to the Joe’s Crab Shack
building and revising the approved master site plan. Seth McCoy of Barefoot
Landing Commercial, LLC requested the amendment.
The proposed changes to
the master site plan would:
-- Add two bar areas
located over the water near the new Crooked Hammock Brewery site and at the
former Joe's Crab Shack site.
-- Reconfigure one of the currently approved
floating bridges to provide more exposure for the former Joe's Crab Shack site.
