THE CONTINUING SAGA

OF CAPTAIN’S BBQ The County Commission now wants more information on the Bings deal.

Craig Coffey said he hadn’t wanted to ‘air all our dirty laundry.’

JONATHAN SIMMONS AND BECKY POURCHOT

The County Commission got a less-than-detailed explanation of the situation of Captain’s BBQ at Bings Landing park before the commission voted 3-2 Nov. 19 to let the restaurant build a new building at the county-owned property. There was no workshop about the proposal, and it was placed on the Nov. 19 meeting’s consent agenda.

But now, with the commission facing a backlash from the Hammock community, County Administrator Craig Coffey will give commissioners some of the details he didn’t provide on Nov. 19: The county commission voted

4-0 Dec. 3, after newly elected commissioner Joe Mullins was sworn in, to revisit that vote. reconsider its Nov. 19 vote. The discussion continues Jan. 7, and this time, commissioners want more information.

Commissioner David Sullivan, who made the Dec. 3 motion to reconsider the commission’s previous vote, cited the lack of information and the community outcry when explaining why he wanted the commission to reconsider.

“I agree with the idea of having the restaurant in Bings Landing,” he said. “What I was given as the original plan makes some sense to me. However, I’m not immune to human beings saying they don’t

want it done that way … I still favor doing something on the restaurant, but I have come to the conclusion that we do not have enough information.”

Coffey, speaking before the Hammock Dunes Community Development District’s Board of Directors about Captain’s BBQ on Dec. 14, said he’d had strategic reasons for not providing some information to the commission during public meetings.

“What we’ve done so far is, we basically had an abbreviated process,” Coffey said at the Dunes CDD board meeting. “We didn’t air all our dirty laundry, so now we’re going to air all our dirty SEE BINGS PAGE 2

County to reconsider larger Captain’s BBQ at Bings BINGS FROM PAGE 1

laundry. ... We’re going to list the 10 major things wrong with the building.”

Captain’s BBQ leases its current building at Bings Landing for $750 a month. It’s one of three restaurants on county property — the others are the restaurant at Bull Creek Fish Camp, and Highjackers at the Flagler County Executive Airport — that the county enticed to those locations by offering low-cost “sweetheart leases,” believing that the businesses would enhance the profile and public enjoyment of those locations, and that they might be difficult spots in which to run a business, Coffey said. The location at Bull Creek had been tried as a restaurant site before and failed, and Bings had been the site of a series of unsuccessful attempts to run a bait shop.

In the case of Captain’s BBQ, the county owns the restaurant building and is contractually responsible for maintaining it: Not doing so would breach the lease. The problem, according to Coffey, is that water intrusion has undermined the foundation.

Repairing it would be expensive to the county and might become a perpetual project, while shutting the restaurant down to construct a new building in the same spot would mean putting Captain’s BBQ out of business for the many months required for construction, Coffey said.

But there was a potential solution: The restaurant agreed to pay

up to $1 million to build a new restaurant building in a new location nearer the center of the park, so that the restaurant could stay open in its current location during the construction process. The county would immediately own the new building and would demolish the old one, and the county would be responsible for the cost of adding parking for the new building and handling septic and sewer issues. The restaurant would also pay $1,000 a month to the county instead of the current $750. That rate would continue for five years, then increase 3% annually.

At the Nov. 19 meeting, Coffey was not able to tell county commissioners what the parking and septic work would cost, or what it would cost to repair the current building — something commissioners have said they want to know. He also didn’t explain at the time — in the interest of not airing dirty laundry, he told the Dunes CDD board members — that there was another major potential cost that the county would be avoiding if it went along with Captain’s BBQ’s plan for a new building in a new place within the park.

If the county were to shut down Captain’s for months by closing the current restaurant building to construct a new one in the same spot, Coffey said, the county would be legally responsible for the financial impact of Captain’s’ lost business during the months of closure — and possibly longer.

“I have to potentially pay them for the entirety of the lease … for

business damages,” Coffey said, because of case law that seems to indicate that the county, as owner of the property, should be responsible for the longterm costs of the restaurant losing and having to rehire its staff, and losing business and the chance to build its brand, during a lengthy closure.

There are 13 years left on the current lease, and that could cost the county millions of dollars, Coffey said.

SEWER AND SEPTIC

It was the septic and sewer issue that had prompted Coffey to speak before the Hammock Dunes CDD board during its regular meeting Dec. 14.

Captain’s BBQ and Bings Landing currently run off a combined septic system, and the county wants to tie into the Hammock Dunes CDD’s wastewater system.

Adding a new septic system specifically for the proposed new restaurant building could be a significant cost, and the work could be a disruption at the park, Coffey said. In addition, the county has been pushing to convert as much of the barrier island as possible from septic to sewer, because septic tanks have a history of causing environmental problems by leaking into the ground — and thereby into nearby bodies of water‚ like the Intracoastal Waterway.

Coffey said he suspected septic systems played a role in the state’s red tides and repeated water quality problems in the Indian River Lagoon area.

“We’re appealing to your good graces, but if you don’t, we understand,” he told the board.

“We think it would be a smart environmental thing for you to

do. ... It would definitely solve a lot of problems.”

The county would pay for all the work, he said, and the permit would probably allow for 6,000 to 6,500 gallons of waste per day.

He expected the actual flow to be closer to 4,000 or 5,000 gallons per day, because Captain’s uses disposable dishes and therefore doesn’t have wastewater from an extensive dish-washing process.

Hammock Dunes CDD board members were hesitant to commit to Coffey’s proposal before the County Commission makes a decision at its Jan. 7 meeting.

“Where I am is, basically, I appreciate you telling me what you’re doing; I think we’re all environmentalists here,” board member Jack Leckie said. “We certainly want to listen, and we will take this under advisement.”

Board member Charles Swinburn agreed, saying he wants to do the environmentally responsible thing, but also doesn’t want to inject the CDD into a dispute about whether there should be a new restaurant building.

Board member Gary Crahan was concerned about what he’d heard about the Bings proposal: “It would sound to me like a lot of trees and the whole landscape in Bings Landing is going to be changed,” he said.

Coffey said he didn’t think that was true: The new proposal is for a 4,500-square-foot main building, with up to 5,200 square feet of use overall, to replace the current one, he said. Captain’s BBQ, he said, is currently using a smaller main building, but more space — about about 5,600 square feet overall — when its outdoor equipment like smokers are taken into consideration. The proposed new building, he said, moves those

outdoor functions inside. As for trees, he said, the proposed move would involve removing six of them, mostly palms.

And, he said, “The park is 14.75 acres. … The restaurant is 8/10 of 1% of the park area.”

CDD Manager Greg Peugh said the CDD would be able to handle the Bings and Captain’s BBQ wastewater.

“We have the capacity; that’s not a problem,” he said. “We may have to upgrade a pump station.”

PROTEST AT BINGS

The County Commission’s 3-2 vote Nov. 19 to approve the proposed new lease with Captain’s followed comments at the meeting by both supporters and opponents of the proposal, with opponents outnumbering supporters.

Opponents didn’t take the 3-2 vote as final: Even before the commission voted Dec. 3 to revisit the issue, community members took action to make the commission aware of their continued opposition.

On Sunday, Nov. 25, dozens of people headed out to Bings Landing to protest the new lease.

Hammock resident Shari Gray, who organized the protest, said she understood that the current lease obligates the county to

maintain the building. But if the building isn’t fixable, she said, “Well, then, it’s time [for Captain’s BBQ] to go. Why do we have to sacrifice our park? It’s a county park. I don’t want it to be a restaurant with a little county park; I want it to be a county park with a little restaurant. Really, there shouldn’t be anything there. ...

The county bought that land with our money: It’s a sensitive piece of property; there’s artifacts there.”

Chris Herrera, who co-owns the restaurant with Mike Goodman and is also a local fishing guide, walked out to speak with the protestors.

“I wanted to hear what the major concerns were,” he said after the event. “I’m taking people’s comments, definitely, into consideration. You know, there’s no making everybody happy, but I try my best to lend an ear, and if there’s something I can do, I’ll try to do it.”

“The issue is, what is the major concern from the locals?” he added. “Is it they don’t want a business there? Is it they don’t want growth? Is it that they’re losing green space, even though they’re gaining it where the old restaurant is?”

Herrera said many opponents of the new lease seemed to oppose any growth in the Hammock area.

On Nov. 30, members of the Scenic A1A PRIDE Board also formalized their opposition to the proposed new lease, voting to rescind their previous support of it.

Board member Lynn Rosewater raised the issue during the meeting, saying she felt that what the county administrator and the restaurant’s attorney had told the A1A Pride board members about the project

in October, before the Scenic A1A Pride board’s vote in support of the project, didn’t line up with the language that ended up in the lease.

“When you come to a board and give information that is incorrect and then you tout the vote that came from that board as showing approval, I feel that’s really disrespectful to the board,” she said.

She asked the board to retract its previous support for the relocation.

Mike Goodman, who is both a co-owner of the restaurant and a member of the A1A PRIDE Board, replied, “First of all, everything that was told was truthful and factual. I read the minutes.

It’s in the minutes. It’s not [the Scenic A1A Pride board’s] purview to decide on leases. It’s our purview to look at ascetics, to look at trees.”

He added, “I don’t lie, and I take offense at being said that I’m a liar.”

“The fact is, what your lease says and what got presented here are different,” Rosewater responded.

Other board members said that the Scenic A1A Pride board’s initial support of the project had been contingent on it not involving a loss of any green space.

The board voted 8-1 to rescind its previous support of the new Captain’s BBQ lease. Goodman abstained from the vote.

The County Commission will next discuss the Captain’s BBQ lease during a workshop at 1 p.m.

Jan. 7 at the Emergency Operations Center, behind the Government Services Building at 1769 E. Moody Blvd.

Individual voting districts in CDD? The Board of Supervisors also swore in its newly elected members Dec. 14.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The Hammock Dunes CDD will spend up to $15,000 on legal expenses to ask the state to let it divide into geographic districts for board-supervisor-seat voting purposes.

The money would be spent through the board’s attorney, Michael Chiumento, to develop a request to the state Attorney General’s Office to explicitly authorize the division, since state statute doesn’t spell the matter out clearly when it comes to community development districts.

The board OK’d the expenditure with a 4-0 vote, with board member Dennis Vohs absent, during its meeting Dec. 14.

It did not determine how the districts would be divided.

Board member Charles Swinburn said it would be “pretty simple to divide our entire district up by a geographic boundary that recognizes that Ocean Hammock and Hammock Dunes are the two big actors,” but noted that would present issues with equitable proportioning, since the population of Hammock Dunes exceeds that of Ocean Hammock.

Chiumento said there are a number of options for division: Palm Coast, for instance, has four districts and also elects a mayor, and the entire voting population can vote for each seat

regardless of district. Ormond Beach also has four zones, but only the residents of each zone can vote for that zone’s representatives. All residents in Ormond can vote for mayor.

“There is no precise way, but it does have to meet a standard,” to avoid gerrymandering,” he said.

Chiumento hadn’t seen any reason for the request to be declined.

“The law does not address it specifically, nothing prevents us, and I think we can probably be confident that we will get an opinion that supports the concept of creating districts,” he said.

RETIREMENT PROGRAM

The Hammock Dunes CDD is enhancing its retirement program for its employees, with a money purchase 401(a) plan for full-time employees, with an initial contribution of 6% of employees’ annual compensation. A 457(b) plan would have an initial matching contribution formula of 2% of employees’ annual compensation. The district expects the changes to add about $30,000 to the budget.

BRIDGE TRAVEL RISES, BUT REVENUE DROPS

Revenue from the Hammock Dines bridge toll is down 1.29% in November of this year from last November of last year, even as traffic grew about 5%. The revenue decrease is due to more people using prepaid bridge ExpressCard passes, which provide discounted rates, District Manager Greg Peugh said.

Collections were $124,332 this past November and $125,931 in November 2017. There are a total of 23,000 ExpressCard accounts, Peugh said.

Starting Jan. 1, he said, the district will also start clearing out about 5,600 old accounts that haven’t been used for a long time.

MANAGER’S CONTRACT

The Hammock Dunes CDD has amended its contract with District Manager Greg Peugh.

The contract was initially for a fixed term of three years. The amendment would make the contract automatically renew for successive two year terms unless Peugh or the board decide not to renew. Peugh was hired in August 2017 and has a current salary of approximately $144,200.

BOARD SWEARS IN NEW AND RE-ELECTED MEMBERS

The CDD on Dec. 14 administrated the oath of office to newly elected Board of Supervisors Seat 5 member George DeGovanni, who defeated incumbent member Richard DeMatteis 59.24% (920 votes) to 40.76% (633 votes), and to Seat 1 member Charles Swinburn, who was first elected in 2012 and retained his seat without opposition. The board elected to keep its officer positions as is, with Seat 2 member Jack Leckie as chair, Seat 4 member Gary Crahan as vice chair and Seat 3 member Dennis Vohs as treasurer. DeGovanni and Swinburn are both assistant secretaries. (District Manager Greg Peugh is secretary.)

Bookkeeper becomes book seller Meet the owner of Zaks Taxes, at 5160 N. Oceanshore Blvd.

BECKY POURCHOT CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Stephen Zaksewicz of Zaks Taxes is not your normal tax accountant.

For 20 years, he’s been obsessed with collecting books.

At 6-foot-5, the slender 60-year-old sits at his desk, talking with excitement, not just about his intricate knowledge of the tax system and all its loop holes, but about his passion for collecting old and used books.

In his collecting heyday, he had 5,000, worth about $100 on average.

When he was in his early 40s, after a divorce, Zaksewicz began collecting. “I guess I was getting tired of the dating scene,” he recalled. “I started going to all these book sales, and I just found a love of books.”

But being a book lover wasn’t always his gig. In high school he was a star basketball player and didn’t put much thought into school, let alone reading. In fact he missed an opportunity to go to Duke because his grades simply weren’t high enough. The first 40 years of life were like 40 years in the desert, he said.

“When I should have been reading books, I wasn’t,” he said.

Tax laws hadn’t changed much during his career, and Zaksewicz was getting bored with his career, so, keeping his day job, he chose book collecting as his next big challenge.

“I started in my free time going to these estate and library sales way out in the boondocks,” he says of his adventures in rural Connecticut. “I’d go to these two dollar bag sales and say, ‘Give me 10 bags.’”

In his early days of book hunting he met Queenie, who he described a “little old librarian who lived her whole life in Watertown, Connecticut.” Because she was so “little” she always looked forward to tall Steven’s visits to the library, not only because he helped her with her taxes, but because he could reach the highest books on the shelves.

Queenie had seen a lot of books come and go as the locals would often donate their books, unaware of their value. She taught Steven the secrets of finding the valuable ones.

One day recently in his shop, he turned to a shelf behind him and pulled out a book that seemed dwarfed in his large hands. The cover said “Little Women.”

“This my favorite,” he said, his face lighting up. “Queenie gave it to me.”

Becky Pourchot

“I started in my free time going to these estate and library sales way out in the boondocks,” Stephen Zaksewicz recalled.

He opened the book, pausing at an intricately printed image of a house. “This picture alone is worth $100,” he said.

He closed the book and ran his finger down the thick pages that bowed inward. “Bowed books indicate a seal crack. It means it’s not worth as much and needs to go to a book shop to be replaced.”

However he added, with the right repairs, books such as this one could be quite valuable.

So what’s the connection between books and taxes? For Zaksewicz, that’s obvious. After collecting for over a decade, it occurred to him that he could reduce his own taxes through his books. Tax laws don’t allow

for deductions on personal collections, including art or books; however, stores that sell books can. That’s when he decided that every single one of his books would be for sale.

Today, driving down A1A, you’ll notice a small storefront with the words Zaks Taxes out front.

Below, on a small sign in the window hangs another sign that says “Books.” Step inside and you’ll find two desks and shelves of books from all eras — books that Zaksewics himself has collected.

The operation is small, but he has plans for expansion. In the meantime, Zaksewicz is always happy to talk books (and taxes) with anyone who comes in to his shop.
