Mayor’s Message

Redington Beach residents,

We are approaching the start of Hurricane season and I would like to remind all of us, that we have had several years with minimum impact, but all it takes is one storm to change that. Please review your plans to secure your property should it be necessary, as well as evacuation routes and shelter locations and, if you have pets, where they are welcome.

In June we will be starting the budget process for Fiscal Year 2016/2017. The Town is in good financial shape and your town commission will strive to be good stewards of the Town’s assets.

The past year saw the north side 161st Avenue seawall replacement finished as well as the replacement of its tractor and pickup truck and the purchase of lawn mowing equipment so that maintaining the Town’s green spaces could be done by staff and not by an outside company.

We have a great Town staff who continue to do a fabulous job, as working for and representing Redington Beach.

Hope all have a safe and happy summer!

Nick Simons

How Can Homeowners Help Protect Boca Ciega Bay?

By Reducing Your Personal Pollution As Much As Possible

Have you heard that many of Florida’s lakes, streams, springs and estuaries are polluted and considered

impaired by the EPA? Did you know that Boca Ciega Bay is not considered to be impaired? The Town

of Redington Beach Public Works is working hard to keep it that way!

Town Public Works staff patrol the streets after rain events to make sure the stormwater inlets and pipes

are clear of debris, sediments and pollutants. Removal of debris and pollutants from the stormwater sys-

tem keeps them from discharging to the Bay and helps reduce street flooding. The Town also makes

sure that the beaches and parks are patrolled to remove litter. These efforts help keep the Bay clean. But

it is everyone’s responsibility to help keep the Bay clean. So what can an individual do to help?

Follow the Town’s Fertilizer Guidelines.

Per county ordinance and Town resolution, fertilizer containing nitrogen and phosphorus

prohibited from June 1 to September 30.

When you apply fertilizer or pesticides on your yard, make sure that you stay at least 5 feet

away from open water. Pesticides kill more than just bugs in your yard. Too much

fertilizer in the Bay can cause algae blooms.

Purchase lawn fertilizer without phosphorus. Phosphorus is only necessary for blooming

plants, not lawns.

Clean up after your pets.

Pet waste contains harmful bacteria. If left in front yard or parks, rain will eventually wash

the waste into town streets and into the stormwater system. The Town’s stormwater system

discharges into the Bay.

Blow grass clippings back onto your yard and not into the streets or Bay.

When vegetation such as grass clippings washes into the Bay, it decomposes and releases

nutrients into the water. Excess nutrients are the number 1 pollutant that harms water bodies

in the State of Florida.

If everyone follows these 3 simple steps, think how much cleaner our neighborhoods and Boca Ciega

Bay could be. Town staff thanks every resident for their support.

Landscape and Fertilizer Tips

Homeowners and Those Who Hire Commercial Lawn Services

The use of fertilizer and pesticides in Redington Beach is regulated by the Pinellas County Fertilizer Ordi-

nance. If a homeowner hires a commercial lawn service to provide landscaping, mowing and/or fertilizer

application, the commercial lawn service must be trained and certified in Green Industries Best Manage-

ment Practices and Landscape Best Management Practices. The commercial vehicles must display a decal

showing that the company is trained and certified. The decal resembles the following:

If you have waterfront property, remember that fertilizers and pesticides should not be applied within 10

feet of the water body. When mowing grass, make sure to aim clippings away from the water if a bagger

is not used. Also, keep grass clippings and other vegetative debris away from storm drains, roadways and

water bodies.

Regulations limit the types of fertilizers used in Pinellas County to help protect our waterways.

Say NO to nitrogen and phosphorus from June 1 to September 30.

The good news is there are lots of ways to keep your yard looking great while keeping algae-feeding ni-

trogen and phosphorus out of our waterways.

Pump some iron. Green up your yard with Flor ida-friendly yard products containing iron or other

micronutrients.

Get better dirt. Add compost or other soil amendments.

Keep the clippings. Leaving clippings on your lawn can supply up to 50% of the nitrogen your

grass needs. Keep yard waste off paved areas!

Pick better plants. Flor ida-Friendly Landscaping™ needs less fertilizer, water and overall care –

leaving you more time for fun! www.floridayards.org

When you do fertilize:

Twice is nice. By fer tilizing just twice a year , in Apr il and October , you’ll save time and money

on lawn watering and mowing.

Watch the weather. Rainstorms don’t “water -in” fertilizer, they wash it away. That wastes money

and pollutes our water.

Sweep it up. Whisk any fer tilizer granules that fall onto pavement back into the landscape.

Perfect 10. Keep fer tilizer at least 10 feet away from any body of water .

For more information about fertilizing like a Floridian, visit: www.befloridian.org.

Thanks for doing your part to protect our water quality.

HURRICANE INFORMATION

NEW! For barrier island residents and businesses:

In an effort to prevent looting and burglary after a large-scale mandatory evacuation, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and the barrier islands have joined forces to provide free Emergency Access Permits to all businesses and residents of the barrier islands. Once a mandatory evacuation order has been lifted, Emergency Access Permits will be required to re-enter an evacuated area. There are nine entry points to the barrier islands. Access will be limited based on the closest entry point to your residence.

You will be asked to hang the permit from your vehicle’s rearview mirror for re-entry post-evacuation. Law enforcement officers will be posted at entry points where they will scan the barcode on your permit to verify your residency. With your help, we will can keep trespassers from accessing your property.

Pinellas County Evacuation Assistance / Special Needs Registration

Residents with Special Needs Should Register: Residents with certain medical conditions can get help during an evacuation. Special needs shelters will open for those requiring minimal medical assistance. If you have your own transportation to a special needs shelter, preregistration is not re-quired, but it is strongly recommended. If you are registered and need transportation to a shelter, your local fire department will contact you before an evacuation. You may bring your caregiver and/or family with you to a special needs shelter. Please note....you are not obligated to go to a special needs shelter once registered, if you have made other safe and secure arrangements.

To register, fill out the registration form by visiting:

https://www.pinellascounty.org/emergency/PDF/special-needs-form.pdf

Or from Redington Beach Town Hall.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department would like to remind you to lock your car and house doors. There have been several burglaries reported in the area in the past few months. Some tips to help prevent break-ins: 1. Visible Window & Door Locks Burglars get into your home via the door or window, so providing a first-line deterrent like visible (and sturdy) locks is a step toward security. Do not be frugal with your locks. Your local locksmith can recommend the strongest, best locks for your home. 2. Lock Your Doors This is so, so simple but many people fail to lock their doors. Lock up every time you go out, obviously, but also keep the doors locked when you’re home – and especially at night. If you like to leave screened doors and windows open on a nice day, no problem; there are good locks for sturdy screens, too. And speaking of locks, all doors should have deadbolts and patio/sliding doors need special anti-entry devices to prevent removal from their frames. 3. Vacation House Checks The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office offers house checks while you are away from your home for an extended period of time. To sign up for this service you need to call this number (727) 582-6177 and provide some basic information. 4. Install an Alarm A home alarm system is one of the top ways to deter burglars from targeting your home. Several different systems and extras are available, from a basic alarm siren to a fortress. Take the maximum protection you can afford. Make sure your alarm company has a fast response time, and consider whether you want the police automatically notified of an alarm event. Remember to register your alarm system with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department by visiting http://www.pcsoweb.com/program-services/alarm-registration. 5. Install Security Cameras The best defense is a good offense. Put burglars on the defense by recording their every move. You’ll need indoor and/or outdoor security cameras with night vision and a decent hard drive to record a few days’ worth of video. 6. Motion Activated Lights Illuminate shadowed parts of your home and access points with motion-activated floodlights. That’s right, floodlights. If a light flips on, you want a wide viewing area. 7. Safe & Secure In the event that a thief does breach your perimeter security, have your most precious valuables safely secured in a fireproof safe. Bolt the safe to the floor, otherwise a strong burglar could cart it out. 8. Auto theft prevention:

Lock your car and park in well-lit areas.

Never leave valuables in your car.

With Gulf coast waters warming up, Florida residents aren’t the only ones flocking to the beaches.

Stingrays, a flat, bottom-feeding fish with a long tail and protruding barb, swarm into shallow waters between April and October and bury themselves in sand close to shore — making them hard to spot by anyone running into the surf.

The barb on a stingray’s tail is a defensive mechanism; a “bony thorn” that disperses poison. Similar to a bee sting, it causes excruciating pain.

The best way to make sure stingrays steer clear of your feet is to slide your feet along the sand instead of taking big steps. The shuffling sends vibrations that scare away stingrays in the immediate vicinity, thus you won't accidentally step on one.

If you are stung, the best remedy is to soak the affected area in a bucket of water — "as hot as you can without burning your foot" — for about an hour and a half, said Dr. Anthony Acosta, medical director of the emergency de-partment at Bayfront Medical Center. The heat will cause immediate pain relief.

And although it is rare, head to the emergency room if the stingray leaves part of a barb behind. Do not attempt to remove it yourself.

Also seek immediate medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction or symptoms such as nausea or difficulty breathing. Finally, realize that although care should be taken to avoid injury, relax, stay calm, enjoy the beach and remember to do the stingray shuffle.

IT’S SEA TURTLE SEASON

NESTING SEASON IS MAY 1 – AUGUST 31

HATCHING SEASON IS JULY 1 – OCTOBER 31

This is a friendly reminder that beach front lighting should be turned off during turtle season. It is the code of the Town of Redington Beach to minimize artificial light illuminating areas of the beach. No artificial light source shall illuminate areas where it may deter adult female sea turtles from nesting or disorient hatchlings. Redington Beach has a Sea Turtle lighting ordinance, Sec. 4.9. If you have any questions or concerns about beach front lighting during turtle season please call Town Hall at 727 391-3875.

NESTING TIPS: Should you encounter a nesting female, stay far behind so she cannot see you. Do not make any noise or shine lights. This will frighten her (no flash photos.)

HATCHLING TIPS: If you see a nest hatching, Do NOT touch the hatchlings or attempt to release them. Do NOT expose hatchlings to white light or photographic flashes. Call Nesting Supervisor at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium at 1-888-239-9414 ext. 224.

ADDITIONAL WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

During season please remove beach furniture nightly. Nesting turtles can become trapped on items left on the beach.

Remove trash from the beach. Sea turtles eat plastic bags as they resemble jelly fish.

Volunteer to “nest-sit” during hatching season. Report all turtle sightings to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at

1-888-239-9414 ext. 224. Do NOT disturb or handle sea turtles, eggs or nest. All are violations of both Fed-

eral and State laws. Sea turtles, nests and hatchlings may only be handled by those with a permit from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Sea turtles are protected under the Endangered Species Act by Florida State law. Penalties for interfering with Sea Turtles can be severe.

INFORMATION ABOUT SEA TURTLES, BEACH LIGHTING

AND HOW TO REMEDY PROBLEM LIGHTS

In general, for turtle-friendly beach lighting, keep it:

LOW – mount the fixture as low as possible to minimize light trespass, and use the lowest amount of light

needed for the task.

SHIELDED – fully shield the light so bulbs and/or glowing lenses are not visible to minimize light trespass

LONG – long wavelength light sources (ambers and reds) in the appropriate lighting fixtures

Light-Pollution Affecting Sea Turtles

There are ways that beach front property owners can modify their lights to prevent them from being seen from the beach. The following is a list of suggestions (these solutions may need to be used in conjunction with one

another in order to prevent sea turtle disorientation).

● Turn off unnecessary lights. Don’t use decorative lighting (such as runner lights or uplighting of vegetation) in areas that are visible from the beach and permanently remove, disable, or turn off fixtures that cannot be modi-fied in any other way.

● For lights that can be repositioned, face them away from the beach so that the light source is no longer visible.

● Shield the light source. Materials such as aluminum flashing can be used as a shield to direct light and keep it off the beach. When shielding lights, it is important to make sure they are shielded from all areas on the beach (including from either side and on top), and not just from the beach directly in front of the light. Black oven paint may be used as a temporary solution.

● Light sockets with an exposed light source (such as plain bulbs) should be replaced with fixtures that are spe-cially made to recess and/or the light source should be shielded.

● Replace fixtures that scatter light in all directions (such as globe lights or carriage lights) with directional fix-tures that point down and away from the beach.

● Replace lights on poles with low profile, low-level lamps so that the light source and reflected light are not visi-ble from the beach.

● Replace incandescent, fluorescent, and high intensity lighting with the lowest wattage low-pressure sodium vapor lighting or replace white incandescent bulbs with the yellow "bug" light variety of 50 watts or less.

● Plant or improve vegetation buffers (such as sea grapes and other native beach vegetation) between the light source and the beach to screen light from the beach.

● Use shielded motion detector lights for lighting, and set them on the shortest time setting.

● To reduce spillover from indoor lighting move light fixtures away from windows, apply window tint to your win-dows that meets the 45% inside to outside transmittance standards for tinted glass (you’ll save on air condition-ing costs too!), or use window treatments (blinds, curtains) to shield interior lights from the beach.

CODE ENFORCEMENT

Excerpts—Code of Ordinances, Section 12-2 NUISANCES

It shall be unlawful:

(1) to allow, suffer, or permit palmetto scrub, weeds, vines, bushes, grass, thistles, or other rank or noxious vegetable growth to grow or otherwise accumulate upon any premises within the Town or upon right of way adjacent to such property, regardless of whether such premises are occupied or unoccupied.

(2) To allow, suffer, or permit any building or structure which by act of god, fire, decay, or other cause may become structurally dangerous, unsafe, dilapidated, or unsanitary to remain (in such condition) without forthwith doing and performing all things necessary to cause such building or structure to be reconstructed, restored, torn down, or removed, in conformity with appli-cable laws or regulations of the town which may be applicable in respect thereto.

(3) To allow or permit or fail to remove anything which might be considered unsanitary by keeping, maintaining, allowing to exist or permitting anything whereby the life or health or any person may be threatened or impaired or by which or through which, directly or indirectly, disease may be caused or the environment of any person rendered unclean or unwholesome.

(4) To allow the owner or occupant or family member of any residential living unit in any residential or commercial area of the town to park or store or keep upon his premises, in the open or in the street or area adjacent thereto, any vehicle which is not in mechanical operating condition for immediate locomotion under its own power, or any derelict or junk vehicle, or to create or permit the use of any part of his premises to be used for the storage or parking or the presence thereon of any motor vehicle not bearing a current inspection sticker and currently licensed and registered and not mechanically capable of immediate oper-ation under its own automotive power, or to permit the storage upon the property of rubbish, old cars or old unlicensed boats or old trailers, or parts of trailers, or any other materials thereof.

COURTESY NOTICES

Courtesy notices are issued as a reminder to residents that a Redington Beach Code Violation has occurred or exists. On each courtesy notice you will find the nature of the violation. Generally the Town allows 72 hours to correct the violation, unless some-thing more serious may require more time in which exceptions may be given. If more time is required, please contact the Town. If appropriate, we will try our best to work with you.

CONSTRUCTION

Please remember, during construction, at all times, a debris container shall be kept at or on the construction site. The area must be kept in clean, neat and orderly condition at all times until completion and the site is returned to its pre-construction condition. Trash pick ups through your normal service are not acceptable or permitted. The Town has been asked to remind residents that their crews will not pickup construction rubble from construction sites.

NO CONSTRUCTION is permitted on Saturdays or Sundays (substantial). This includes erection, excavating, demolition, alteration or repair of any building.

For ALL new construction and major alterations a drainage site plan drawn by a registered or licensed architect or engineer shall be submitted prior to issuance of building permit (Section 6-59) This is so no additional rainwater is ending up on an abutting neigh-bors property creating flood conditions. The Commission passed Ordinance 2015-02 pertaining to rainwater runoff on September 15th, 2015. This was passed to address Section 6-59. The Ordinance is available at Town Hall.

Code Enforcement Mission Statement: To insure a safe, healthful environment consistent with the community needs and Town codes, while striving for voluntary compliance and public awareness. The code enforcement officer provides interpretation and enforcement of all town ordinances and policies. Responds to citizen complaints and concerns. Researches and determines nature and severity of violation. Establishes remedial action and time required for code compliance. Maintains records necessary for effective, legal enforcement. Processes code cases through re-inspections, proper notification, and schedule for code enforcement board hearings. Reviews codes as necessary for revision/amendments in keeping with community needs. Provide town wide surveillance, surveys, and studies to monitor compliance and effectiveness of codes.

CODE ENFORCEMENT– NUISANCES CONT’D

Please be aware it is unlawful for any person to bring, have or allow any animals in the Parks recreation areas, or on the beach (Town Ordinance: Section 4-3) It is also required of anyone walking their dogs to have them on a leash at all times (Section 4-5).

REMINDER: If you have a landscaper trimming trees, bushes, hedges etc., It is THEIR responsibility to remove these items. Please do not leave on the curb. Progressive Solutions has a schedule to keep to, they will not haul huge piles of garden debris. All debris must be bundled in 4 feet lengths or be in a trash container. If you have a large amount of yard waste, you need to call Progressive Waste Solutions and schedule a special pick up.

Trailers and boats are another top ordinance violation. It shall be unlawful for any person to place or park more than one boat or one boat trailer, or any combination thereof, upon any residentially zoned lot, piece or parcel of land in the town. Placing or parking such equipment upon any right-of-way or easement within the town is expressly prohibited. (Section 21-47).

The Stormwater Management Program is part of the NPDES Program. Its purpose is to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practical to and from the Town’s municipal stormwater system using management practices, control techniques system design, and engineering methods and other provisions that are appropriate. In simple terms, the program was mandated by the EPA, and was implemented by the town in 1997 to reduce pollutants entering our waterways and drinking water supply. The town uses several methods to accomplish this task. All of which have been authorized and approved by the EPA. Swales, CDS units, grassy areas, retention and detention areas, silt fencing, booming, cofferdams, and street sweeping are just a few of the ways that are utilized for reducing contaminates prior to entering our waterways. Several years of planning took place prior to receiving our stormwater permit in which we have to adhere to and enforce and be able to provide the documentation of compliance by the town with the proof of enforcement. I hope through these quarterly newsletters, readers are more conscientious of the importance of keeping our environment free of pollution and harmful contaminates. As care takers of this land on which we live, it is important we all do our part, not only for ourselves, but for generations to come.

The water quality portion of the NPDES permit requires that construction projects be designed as such that discharges meet water quality standards of the Florida Administrative Code. New development and redevelopment often increases the impervious land surface which leads to increase pollutant levels in the stormwater runoff. Any person who wishes to engage in land development or redevelopment activities must submit a plan (drainage site plan) clearly identifying the proposed storm water management provisions and facilities. All drainage plans submitted for review and approval must include a description of those measures which will be taken to provide adequate control of the quality of runoff water. The site plan must also provide provisions for adequate control of erosion and sedimentation.

Sect 6-66 Compliance with NPDES Requirements:

A. Compliance Standards.

(1) New building construction within any zoning district in the town shall conform to the provisions of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency as more specifically set forth in the NPDES permit issued to the town.

(2) The town’s certified stormwater management inspector shall, at all times during building construction or development, ensure that construction and contractors maintain a system for control of construction site erosion, sediment, and water runoff.

(3) Each building site plan for construction shall be reviewed to include the system or method to be used by the contractor to eliminate or control erosion and sediment at the construction site and potential pollution of the town’s stormwater collection system.

(4) The certified stormwater management inspector shall periodically inspect each construction site to ensure that the site does not cause erosion or sediment that may result in a discharge into the stormwater system.

NPDES: NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM

NPDES: NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM CONT’D….

(5) The certified stormwater management inspector shall maintain detailed records of all site plans and inspection of construction sites in the town for compliance with the town’s NPDES Permit, and shall report such data to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency for NPDES reporting purposes.

(6) The certified stormwater management inspector shall report to the mayor all notices of violation or stop work orders issued by the certified stormwater management inspector to any contractor or property owner for non-compliance with the provisions of this section.

B. Enforcement:

(1) Stop work order: other penalty. In the event that any person holding a site development permit pursuant to this Code violates the terms of this permit, or implements site development in such a manner as to materially adversely affect the health, welfare, or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or at the development site so as to be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property of improvements in the neighborhood, the certified stormwater management inspector shall issue a “stop work” order upon ascertainment of any violation of this section or other law pertaining hereto until such time as the condition that caused the “stop work” order has been, in the opinion of the certified stormwater management inspector, corrected.

(2) Violation and Penalties: No person shall construct, enlarge, alter, repair or maintain any grading, excavation or fill, or cause the same to be done, contrary to or in violation of any of the terms of this Code. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section of this Code shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and each day during which any violation of any of the provisions of this section of this Code is committed, continued or permitted, shall constitute a separate of- fence. Upon conviction of any such violation, such person, partnership, or corporation shall be punished as provided for elsewhere in this Code for misdemeanors of the third degree. In addition to any other penalty authorized by this section, any person, partnership, or corporation convicted of violating any of the provisions of this section of this Code shall be required to bear the cost and expense of restoring the site to a condition acceptable to the certified stormwater manager.

(3) For all new construction and major alterations, a drainage plan drawn by registered or licensed architect or engineer shall be submitted as part of the package submitted to the building department prior to issuance of a building permit.

(4) The drainage plan shall indicate the installation of proper erosion and sediment controls required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) that are to be implemented as construction sites to control contribution of pollutants to the municipal storm sewer system by stormwater discharges from construction activities. All site drainage runoff must run only through established drainage structures so as to prevent excess or excessive water from gathering on the site or on surrounding properties to prevent flooding on the site and adjacent properties.
