Mullin informed the Board of the new sound system. Next, He read the rules
and procedures for conducting a Non-Quasi Judicial hearing.
It was moved by Board Member Holloway, seconded by Board Member Morris and
unanimously carried to open the floor to public discussion for Tab B.
The Board considered Tab B, application CPA19-009, consideration of Future
Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment to change the classification of 265.65 acres
located on the west side of Lem Tuner Road between Lawhon Road South and
Dornbush Road from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Recreation (REC), filed
by Angel Lakes Gated Inc., owner and Roger Towers, P.A., agent.
Mr. McDowell came forward to provide staff presentation. He noted that the
companion application PUD19-008, (Tab F) would be heard later on the agenda.
The Planned Unit Development(PUD) will be considered later in the agenda. He
explained that the property was historical used as a golf course for
approximately 50 years and now is no longer open. The existing FLUM is Low
Density Residential (LDR) that includes the maximum density allowed for two
(2) residential units per acre. The existing zoning is Residential Single
Family 2 (RS-2) and Open Rural (OR). He advised that the applicant proposes
to amend the FLUM from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Recreation (REC),
which would remove all residential development potential for the property and
limit to recreation uses as specified in the Comprehensive Plan. The
applicant’s proposed change of the land use to Recreation (REC) which would
3 200121 P&Z
allow a PUD to include a campground and water park facilities, golf course,
and a variety of other recreational amenities. Mr. McDowell reviewed the
Traffic Analysis, which references the existing zoning and the proposed
zonings average trips generated. He briefly reviewed the water and sewer
analysis provided which is based upon the JEA and the Department of Health
state standards for recreation parks. The uses proposed in the PUD would
require on-site systems and the applicant is responsible for maintaining and
obtaining permits. Mr. McDowell advised that based upon the FLUM amendment
there will be a reduction in potential impacts and will conform to the
historic land use for the property as a golf course and appropriate for the
proposed PUD while not expanding the commercial or other intensive uses. He
stated that staff recommends approval of the application and finds it
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Jon Lasserre, attorney with Rogers Towers, P.A., agent, came forward to
inform the Board that the applicant and engineer are available to answer any
questions.
Steven Williams came forward to express his opposition of the application.
He stated that the property’s proposed zoning to Recreation (REC) would have
no defined boarders, which would include all types of recreational
activities. He requested that it remain residentially zoned under the same
restrictions.
Peter Mullin came forward to express his opposition of the application. He
explained that if the property is sold in the future the new owner would have
the right to develop how they want.
Ms. Walker came forward to speak in favor of the application.
4 200121 P&Z
Cheryl Sprague came forward to speak in favor of the application. She
clarified the difference in the FLUM amendment and the PUD approval.
Lisa Frisella came forward to speak in favor of the application. She stated
that with building the development of more houses the taxes might rise due to
the need for more police and schools.
James Phillips came forward to express his concerns with the infrastructure
of the property. He stated that Lem Turner Road can be dangerous and the
location can create a hazard.
Regina Williams came forward to speak in opposition of the application.
There being no one else in the audience wishing to speak for or against this
application, it was moved by Board Member Holloway, seconded by Board Member
Higginbotham and unanimously carried to close the floor to public discussion
for Tab B.
Mr. Lasserre came forward to provide a rebuttal. He stated that the
application is a FLUM amendment and the issues raised will be addressed in
the PUD application. He commented that as a provision in the PUD there will
be an oversized middle lane added to provide for trucks and RV’s, in addition
to a right side turning lane. He explained that the allowed uses for the
property are within the PUD with certain restrictions.
It was moved by Board Member Gray that based upon the record and testimony
received, he recommends to the Board of County Commissioners approval of Tab
B, application CPA19-009, consideration of Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
5 200121 P&Z
amendment to change the classification of 265.65 acres located on the west
side of Lem Tuner Road between Lawhon Road South and Dornbush Road from Low
Density Residential (LDR) to Recreation (REC), filed by Angel Lakes Gated
Inc., owner and Roger Towers, P.A., agent. The motion was seconded by Board
Member Higginbotham and roll call vote on the motion carried unanimously.
The Board considered Tab C, application CPA20-001, consideration of an
ordinance amending the FLUM of the Comprehensive Plan, providing for the
reclassification of approximately 3.1 acres of real property located on the
west side of Amelia Road, between Amelia Island Parkway and Kenneth Court,
from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Commercial (COM), filed by Art
Sanchez, Inc., owner.
It was moved by Board Member Higginbotham, seconded by Board Member Holloway
and unanimously carried to open the floor to public discussion for Tab C.
Mr. McDowell came forward to provide staff presentation. He stated that the
application is a small-scale FLUM amendment of approximately 3.1 acres to
reclassify from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Commercial (COM). The
property is located near the intersection of Amelia Road and Amelia Island
Parkway and was once owned by Bell South. He referenced the Power Point
presentation map location of the subject property. The adjacent properties
to the north are single family residences. He stated that the present zoning
is Commercial Intensive (CI) and FLUM designation of Medium Density (MD) and
are not compatible and dates back to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan
and possibly back to the adoption of the Zoning Code in 1974. The subject
property is also adjacent to the City of Fernandina Beach with the land use
of General Commercial and Mixed Use. Mr. McDowell advised that in order for
the applicant to use the property to the full potential the FLUM needs to be
6 200121 P&Z
amended. He stated that there is a possibility that the previous FLUM maps
were interpreted incorrectly. He reviewed the staff findings and advised that
staff recommends approval of the application.
The group discussed whether the property is incorporated in the City of
Fernandina Beach, any future additions to the building, and the buffering.
Mr. McDowell confirmed that the property is within Nassau County and not the
City. Mr. McDowell commented that the applicant has applied for additional
square footage for the building, however the amount is less than the
thresholds for the Development Review Committee. He responded that staff
would review any expansions of the building. Mr. Mullin explained that what
is before the Board now is changing the FLUM to Commercial (COM)and the
Commercial Intensive (CI) will remain.
Art Sanchez, applicant, came forward stating that he did not know that the
FLUM was incorrect at the time the property was purchased and he is unable to
make any changes until the FLUM is correct.
Chairman Gillette acknowledged that the Board received an email from Vanessa
Stubbs and her reasons for opposition to the application.
There being no one in the audience wishing to speak for or against this
application, it was moved by Board Member Higginbotham, seconded by Board
Member Gressman and unanimously carried to close the floor to public
discussion for Tab C.
It was moved by Board Member Holloway that based upon the record and
testimony received, he recommends to the Board of County Commissioners
approval of Tab C, application CPA20-001, consideration of an ordinance
7 200121 P&Z
amending the FLUM of the Comprehensive Plan, providing for the
reclassification of approximately 3.1 acres of real property located on the
west side of Amelia Road, between Amelia Island Parkway and Kenneth Court,
from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Commercial (COM), filed by Art
Sanchez, Inc., owner. The motion was seconded by Board Member Higginbotham
and roll call vote on the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. McDowell stated that this item will go before the Board of County
Commissioners on February 10, 2020.
Next, the Board considered Tab D, application LDC19-012, consideration of an
ordinance amending Article 18 of the Land Development Code (LDC), Commercial
Highway Tourist (CHT); Specifically, Section 18.01, Permitted Uses; Section
18.03, Conditional Uses; Section 18.04, Special Restrictions; Section 18.06,
Minimum Yard Requirements; Section 18.07, Building Restrictions; Amending
Article 35 of the LDC, State road 200/A1A Access Management Overlay District,
Specifically Section 35.09(F), Signage.
Mr. McDowell came forward to provide staff presentation. He referenced the
past discussions regarding the changes to the Commercial Highway Tourist
(CHT) zoning district. He stated that the CHT zoning district is located
around the intersections of SR200/I-95 and US17/I-95. He commented that the
issue is that the zoning was very limited in the permitted uses allowed. The
Ordinance will expand the permitted uses in the CHT district which will allow
better services and development for Nassau County. These expansions included
business and professional offices, medical offices and clinic, banks, general
retail, self-storage facilities, and sale of alcoholic beverages for on or
off premise consumption. It will also reduce the front setback from fifty
(50) feet to twenty-five (25) feet; remove outdated references and
8 200121 P&Z
provisions; eliminate special provisions for signs in the CHT within the
SR200/A1A Overlay District; and add a statement that properties in both
William Burgess Overlay District and SR200/A1A Overlay District will follow
the William Burgess Overlay rules for signs. He also reviewed the current
and proposed language to the Land Development Code (LDC).
Board Member Jasinsky abstained from the vote, due to having an interest in
property located within the CHT district. Discussion followed. (See
Attachment “B”).
There being no one in the audience wishing to speak for or against this
application, it was moved by Board Member Holloway, seconded by Board Member
Morris and unanimously carried to close the floor to public discussion for
Tab D.

Specifically, Section 18.01, Permitted Uses; Section 18.03, Conditional Uses;
Section 18.04, Special Restrictions; Section 18.06, Minimum Yard

9 200121 P&Z
The Board considered Tab E, application LDC19-013, consideration of and
ordinance amending Article 5 of the LDC, procedures; specifically, Section
5.07, Site Development Plan Review; amending Article 31 of the LDC, Required
Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading, specifically Section 31.12, Off-
Street Parking Spaces: Number Required; Amending Article 37 of the LDC,
Natural Resources Protection; specifically, Section 37.05, Landscaping; and
Section 37.06, Buffers between Certain Uses.
Mr. McDowell came forward to provide staff presentation. He commented that
these amendments have been previously discussed with this Board. The
amendments will streamline some procedures and clarify areas in the code. He
commented that the amendments would allow the Development Review Committee to
waive in certain cases the Site Engineering Plan process for existing
structures that are changing use, based up certain criteria in terms of the
scope of those changes. The idea is to allow for the reduced minimum parking
standards, which would be based on a study provided by a transportation
professional; and shared parking standards; create site plan standards for
landscape; address the location and screening of lift stations and back flow
preventers; and clarify the location and type of fencing requirements.
Chairman Gillette stated that he had a discussion with Planner Kailey Saver
prior to the meeting and discussed preserving trees that are under the six
(6) inch minimum that would normally be surveyed, but it would still be big
enough to meet a tree planting requirement. They discussed saving the
existing tree in lieu of removing and planting a new tree. He commented that
Ms. Saver stated that if the tree was saved in lieu of planting staff would
inspect.
10 200121 P&Z
The Board inquired if the shared parking is considered in residential areas
with accessory dwellings. Mr. McDowell clarified that the shared parking
references non-residential.
There being no one in the audience wishing to speak for or against this
application, it was moved by Board Member Morris, seconded by Board Member
Arnold and unanimously carried to close the floor to public discussion for
Tab E.
It was moved by Board Member Morris that based upon the record and testimony

Required; Amending Article 37 of the LDC, Natural Resources Protection;
specifically Section 37.05, Landscaping; and Section 37.06, Buffers between
Certain Uses, including the provision regarding the preservation of
applicable trees. The motion was seconded by Board Member Higginbotham and
roll call vote on the motion carried unanimously.
Chair Gillette advised that Tab F is a Quasi-Judicial hearing. Mr. Mullin
explained the Quasi-Judicial Hearing Procedures for Tab F. He asked if the
applicant wished to waive their presentation and rely on staff comments.
Jon Lasserre, attorney with Rogers Towers, P.A., agent for the applicant for
Tab F, application PUD19-008, came forward to waive presentation and rely on
staff comments.
11 200121 P&Z
The Board considered Tab F, application PUD19-008, a consideration for
rezoning approximately 265.65 acres located on the west side of Lem Turner
Road between Lawhon Road South and Dornbush Road from Open Rural (OR) and
Residential Single Family 2 (RS-2) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to be
known as “Deerfield Lakes”, filed by Angel Lakes Gated Inc., owner and Rogers
Towers, P.A., agent. The property is located on the west side of Lem Turner
between Lawhon Road South and Dornbush Road in Callahan, Florida.
It was moved by Board Member Holloway, seconded by Board Member Arnold and
unanimously carried to open the floor to public discussion for Tab F.
Regarding ex-parte communication, Board Member Higginbotham had discussion
with Mr. Greene regarding how great this development would be for the
community. All other Board members advised that they had no communication
nor made site visits regarding the agenda item.
The Deputy Clerk identified the documents in the agenda packets associated
with Tab F. It was moved by Board Member Morris, seconded by Board Member
Arnold and unanimously carried to accept the documents into the record as
identified by the Deputy Clerk (See Attachment “A”).
The Deputy Clerk swore in staff to provide testimony.
Mr. McDowell came forward to provide staff presentation. He stated that the
application is a rezoning of approximately 265.65 acres from Open Rural (OR)
and Residential Single Family 2 (RS-2) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). He
referenced the proposed FLUM and the existing zoning map including the
proposed zoning to PUD. The PUD will consist of a campground element that
will allow recreational vehicles, maintain nine (9) holes of the golf course,
12 200121 P&Z
include other recreational elements such as a water park, play field,
supporting facilities such as a clubhouse, restaurant, farmers market, other
amenities on site. He referenced the proposed Preliminary Development Plan
(PDP) for the site and one of the key elements of the PUD is a large existing
boundary of trees that currently surrounds the course. The trees will be
placed in a preservation area where there would be at least 300 feet from the
adjacent properties. He referenced the PowerPoint map of Proposed Preliminary
Development and the 50 perimeter buffer where people would not be allowed and
the buffer will remain undeveloped. He reviewed the different elements
within the PUD including building a new access road.
Mr. McDowell responded to the Board’s questions regarding emergency officials
having access; the requirements for the turn lanes; and the extended turn
lanes being included in the initial development. He stated that emergency
officials will have access thru the road that will be closed and the turn
lanes are required in phase one. The Board also inquired regarding whether
the tree preservation areas would be in the conservation easements. Mr.
McDowell responded that the PUD specifies that the areas will not be
developed for anything other than walking trails.
Mr. McDowell continued staff presentation. He referenced the phasing plan
which includes phase one having 150 RV slips, existing golf course,
renovation of the clubhouse, improvements to the entry road and Lem Turner
Road; Phase two will include an additional 150 RV slips, however before they
can be added they have to build the water park; Phase three will include the
remaining 150 RV slips, overflow parking, other recreation amenities, and
possibility the second access road on to Lem Turner Road.
13 200121 P&Z
Upon a request from Mr. Mullin, Mr. McDowell explained that if the
development stops at Phase One, there will be a nine (9) hole golf course,
turn lane improvements on Lem Turner Road, and remodeling the clubhouse. He
provided the schedule for Phase Two that included the first phase of the
water park which must be completed prior to the approval of the additional
150 RV slips; also included in Phase Two is the farmer market, the camp
store, food court, and southern section of a multi-use path along Lem Turner
Road. Mr. Mullin inquired as to the phases of the waterpark. Mr. McDowell
responded that there are two phases for the waterpark, with the completion of
the water park in Phase Three and prior to the approval of the 300th RV slip.
Mr. Mullin commented on a conversation staff had with the applicant before
the meeting regarding the current worded Development Order not having
stronger language regarding the public access. The developer agreed that
could be changed. Mr. Mullin informed the Board that if the application is
approved tonight the consideration should be with a caveat that the public
access language should be agreed to by staff and the applicant before
approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. McDowell responded to an
inquiry that the idea is that the recreational elements will be available to
the public even though they are not staying on the property with an RV.
Chairman Gillette suggested making it clearer, and identifying the recreation
elements that are available to the public. Mr. McDowell provided
clarification on the buffer located around the property.
Board Member Arnold inquired regarding the water and sewer on the property.
Mr. McDowell responded that water and sewer will be located on-site and the
applicant will be responsible for the proper permits.
14 200121 P&Z
Board Member Stack inquired on the maximum length of stay. The group
discussed that the maximum length is four (4) months, which is listed in the
prohibited uses section of the draft ordinance. Board Member Holloway
inquired how long a tenant would have to leave in order to re-lease for four
(4) months. Chairman Gillette commented that clarification can be provided
when the applicant speaks.
Mr. Mullin responded to an inquiry that if a child is located in the RV park
for one day they have a right to attend school and the restriction would not
apply.
Mr. McDowell continued staff presentation. He reviewed the traffic analysis
including the average amount of daily trips. He stated that the proposed PUD
will generate less traffic during the peak hours. Next, he reviewed the
water and sewer for the property. He stated that the development will be
required to meet all drainage standards as imposed by Nassau County Roadway
and Drainage Standards and St. John River Water Management District criteria.
The development will have on-site water and wastewater treatment facilities.
He provided staff finding stating that the proposed rezoning is consistent
with the land use categories described in the Comprehensive Plan Policy
FL.01.02(E) and is generally consistent with the goals, objectives and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan; and compliant with the requirement of
Section 5.02 and Section 25.05 of the LDC and meets the analysis criteria
described in the report. He advised that staff recommends approval of the
application.
Board Member Holloway inquired regarding the water and sewer facilities
currently located on the property. Mr. McDowell responded that the golf
15 200121 P&Z
course had the permit to draw the necessary water for the golf course and he
is unsure of the permit moving forward.
Board Member Stack commented that Lem Turner Road was on the schedule to have
an upgrade to four (4) lanes. Mr. McDowell responded that there are long
term plans to make improvements but not any time in the near future.
Robert Companion, County Engineer, came forward and was sworn in to provided
testimony. He responded that Lem Turner Road is scheduled for four (4) lanes
and will extend from US1 to the Nassau/Duval county line. The project is in
the cost feasible plan with North Florida Transpiration Planning Organization
at this time and will begin possibiliy within a 6-10 year time frame.
Walter Coltrane came forward and was sworn in to provide testimony. He
expressed his concerns regarding the drainage problems in the area,
prevention of noise pollution, and enforcement of the PUD.
Chairman Gillette commented that the PUD will dictate permitted uses. Mr.
McDowell also responded that there is no noise ordinance in Nassau County and
it would be a provision in the PUD and will be enforced by the County. The
violations of the PUD provisions can stop the development in several ways
including Code Enforcement review.
Mr. Coltrane requested that a fence be installed to keep people from
transferring to other properties.
Mr. Lasserre came forward to provided rebuttal. He stated that violations of
the PUD would be handled by the Code Enforcement Department and any
provisions not addressed in the PUD are addressed within the LDC. He noted
16 200121 P&Z
that the water park, farmers market, multi-use trail located along Lem Turner
Road, and golf course will be open to the public and the language will be
updated to clarify. He stated that he will review state laws regarding
restrictions for tenants. He explained that the current permit is for
consumptive use for the golf course and there are intentions to have
reclaimed water.
Henry Vorpe, Engineer representing AVA Engineers, came forward and was sworn
in to provide testimony. He explained that due to development being so far
from the Town of Callahan, the owner has agreed with the Town of Callahan to
operate treatment facilities if built and dedicated. He advised that the
wastewater treatment will be handled on-site and any drainage issues will be
corrected.
The Board inquired regarding the placement of fencing and RV water/sewage.
Mr. Vorpe responded that there is no fence located around the property. He
explained that the RV sewage will use a gravity sewer, water mains/hookups
are located throughout the development.
Mr. Greene, applicant, came forward and was sworn in to provide testimony.
He explained that there is currently an easement located around the property
and there is room to place a fence. He agreed that a fence would be a good
idea, but would not be able to complete in Phase One, but possibly Phase Two.
Board Member Higginbotham stated that at a community meeting there was
discussion regarding a swimming pool. Mr. Greene responded that the swimming
pool is going to be put in with lanes for the local schools to use for sports
and the golf course is also available to the schools for sports.
17 200121 P&Z
Board Member requested clarification regarding the location of the wastewater
treatment facility and water pumping stations. Mr. Vorpe responded that it
would be located in between the golf areas and away from the RV park.
Chairman Gillette inquired regarding the use of septic tanks and if language
can be added as a provision to the PUD. Mr. Vorpe responded that the State
of Florida Department of Health will not want a septic system.
Board Member Holloway inquired regarding the time limit to leave the RV park.
Mr. Greene responded that the time limit is four (4) months and there is no
clarification on how long the tenant will have to leave to re-rent. Mr.
Mullin responded that the issue is enforceability and staff can draft
language but a provision would need to include a register in order for Code
Enforcement to enforce. The group had further discussion.
There being no one else in the audience wishing to speak for or against Tab
F, application PUD19-008, it was moved by Board Member Holloway, seconded by
Board Member Higginbotham and unanimously carried to close the floor to
public discussion.
Mr. McDowell reviewed the timeline of the process for review by the Board of
County Commissioners and transmittal to the State of Florida.
It was moved by Board Member Gray that based upon the record and testimony
received, he finds that there is competent substantial evidence and therefore
his motion is to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval of
Tab F, application PUD19-008, a consideration for rezoning approximately
265.65 acres located on the west side of Lem Turner Road between Lawhon Road
South and Dornbush Road from Open Rural (OR) and Residential Single Family 2
18 200121 P&Z
(RS-2) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to be known as “Deerfield Lakes”,
filed by Angel Lakes Gated Inc., owner and Rogers Towers, P.A., agent. The
property is located on the west side of Lem Turner between Lawhon Road South
and Dornbush Road in Callahan, Florida, including the provision that the
public use or access is included for the waterpark, pool, clubhouse, farmer’s
market, store, golf course, and walking trails; and the removal of any school
related language that is not allowed and/or unenforceable. The motion was
seconded by Board Member Higginbotham.
Following a brief discussion and clarification, Board Member Gray amended his
motion that the septic system is allowed if package system is denied by
governmental regulatory agencies. The amended motion was seconded by Board
Member Higginbotham.
Following further discussion, Board Member Gray amended his motion to remove
preservation walking trails and include public access to the multi-use trail
located near Lem Turner Road. The amended motion was seconded by Board
Member Higginbotham and the roll call vote on the motion and amended motions
carried unanimously.
Following a brief recess at 8:07 p.m., the Board resumed the meeting at 8:14
p.m.
Mr. McDowell discussed Tab H, application LDC20-001, allowing for cottage
food production as a home occupation and manufacturing of prepared food
products in a state-licensed commercial facility as conditional uses in the
Open Rural (OR) district. He stated that there have been previous
discussions regarding the draft ordinance. The trends are in rural areas
where there are small producers of certain types of prepared foods that don’t
19 200121 P&Z
require temperature control. The draft ordinance would allow a conditional
use in Open Rural (OR), and definition of prepared food.
Mr. McDowell discussed Tab I, the sunset of the West Nassau Heritage
Preservation Committee. He advised that the committee was created to
complete the goal of a Vision Book and the Vision Book has been completed and
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners.
It was moved by Board Member Higginbotham, and seconded by Board Member
Morris to sunset the West Nassau Heritage Preservation Committee and the vote
unanimously carried.
Mr. McDowell discussed Tab J, rescheduling meetings due to election activity
on March 17, August 4, August 18, October 20, and November 3, 2020. He
advised that the upcoming year is election year and the Supervisor of
Elections will need the Commissions Chambers for early voting purposes.
The group discussed the rescheduling or cancellation of the meetings. Mr.
McDowell advised that he just received dates when the Commission Chambers
would be available. Mr. Mullin suggested that staff reschedule the meeting
and inform the Board of the dates. Mr. McDowell also reminded the Board of
the workshop session scheduled on January 27, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. to review
procedures on the LDC.
