City of St. Augustine Beach Public Notice
St. Augustine Beach Resiliency and Flood Protection - Atlantic Oaks Circle Phase I
UPDATED 05/14/2026
Construction is complete. Close-out phase in progress.
BACKGROUND:
The project area is a delisted basin comprised of developed low-lying lands bounded by S.R. A1A on the west and higher developed land on the east. Several subdivisions are located within this area, including Magnolia Dunes; Atlantic Oaks Circle; Serenity Bay; Villa Del Rey; as well as other City streets to the north and south.
A single outfall from the project area is at the northern end of Atlantic Oaks Circle. From this location drainage flows approximately 1.8 miles to the City’s master drainage facility west of Mizell Road via an exfiltration pipe along 5th Avenue, the Mickler Boulevard ditch, and the 11th Street ditch. The City is working to develop a drainage solution for the project area which will provide positive outfall and flood protection to residents and will account for the low-lying topography, topographic barriers, sea-level rise, and limitations of the downstream drainage system including tailwater conditions.
A Town Hall meeting was held on 10/26/2024 (See the agenda below).
A 100% plans Town Hall meeting was held on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 at 5:00 P.M.
CURRENT PROJECT PHASE: Close Out
Atlantic Oaks Circle drainage improvements will be in two phases. Phase I will consist of replacing the existing aging and damaged drainage infrastructure. Phase 2 will consist of the placing of new drainage infrastructure to alleviate localized flooding during heavy rainfall events.
PROJECT FUNDING:
Phase I of this project is funded by a grant under the Resilient Florida Program – a program administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, which includes examining tidal, future high tide, storm, rainfall-induced, and compound flooding. Funding search for Phase 2 improvements is in progress.
