Architectural Review Associations (RARA). Pursuant to Board Discussion this
Office was directed to rescind Land Development Code section 5.03.02.H, hold a
workshop with the interested and affected parties, and present recommendations for

of "architectural permits" to a registered association when the County processes such
permits. This is a first reading of a proposed stand-alone ordinance and is not related,
incorporated in, or codified in the Land Development Code, nor is it considered a Land
Development Regulation.

Items 6 - 8 - 6. Public Hearing * Second Reading of the Amended and Restated Solid Waste
Ordinance. At its July 18, 2017 meeting, the Board heard the first reading of a
proposed amended and restated St. Johns County Solid Waste Ordinance. The
proposed ordinance would regulate the management, collection, and disposal of Solid
Waste and Recyclable Materials within the County, including solid waste collection
franchises, harmonize the conflicting language and requirements of the existing solid
waste ordinances, and update guidelines and standards. Staff has identified certain
clarifications to the proposed ordinance since the July 18 meeting. A redline of those
changes is attached to this agenda item. A conversion chart of the proposed ordinance
to the existing solid waste ordinances is also attached. Staff recommends adoption
and enactment of the ordinance.
7. Resolution Establishing Tipping Fees and Other Charges for the Disposal of Solid
Waste at County Landfills. The amended and restated Solid Waste Ordinance,
scheduled for second reading and potential adoption at the Board's August 15, 2017
meeting, provides that Tipping Fees and other charges for disposal of Solid Waste at
County Landfills shall be established by resolution of the Board. The attached
proposed resolution would establish such Tipping Fees and charges.
8. Resolution Establishing Procedures for Waiver of Solid Waste Special
Assessments Based on Financial Hardship. Since at least 1994, St. Johns County
has had a mechanism to allow for an exemption from payment of solid waste special
assessments for certain homestead property owners based on financial hardship. The
currently operative mechanism can be found in Resolution 94-161, Resolution 2009-
69, and Ordinance 99-27. The amended and restated Solid Waste Ordinance,
scheduled for second reading and potential adoption at the Board's August 15, 2017
meeting, would repeal Ordinance 99-27, as well as the ordinances that authorized
Resolution Nos. 94-161 and 2009-69. Accordingly, the attached proposed resolution
would formally rescind these now-obsolete resolutions and replace them with a
procedure as authorized by the amended and restated Solid Waste Ordinance that is
similar to the current procedure, with the exception that the Board may determine
whether to waive solid waste special assessments in a particular year and appropriate
funds for payment of waived assessments.
