Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM
7. Administrative Public Hearings
7.1 Approve the Annexation, Initial Land Use Plan DesiQnation of Residential Suburban (RS)
and Initial ZoninQ Atlas DesiQnation of Low Density Residential (LDR) District for 2327 Nursery
Road (a portion of Lot 19, Pinellas Groves, Section 19, Township 29 South, RanQe 16 East);
and Pass Ordinances 7937-08, 7938-08 and 7939-08 on first readinQ. (ANX2008-02002)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.446-acre property consisting of one
vacant parcel of land. It is located on the south side of Nursery Road approximately 250 feet
east of Winchester Road. The applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive solid
waste and sanitary sewer service from the City. The property is contiguous to existing City
boundaries to the north, south and east. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future
Land Use Plan designation of Residential Suburban (RS) and a zoning category of Low Density
Residential (LDR).
The need for sanitary sewer service was prompted by the applicant's proposal to
construct a 3,057 square-foot single-family home. Due to timing issues, the applicant would like
to construct the single-family home while located in the County; therefore the Planning
Department has worked with the applicant and Pinellas County to ensure that the site plan
approved by the County complies with the provisions of the Clearwater Community
Development Code. Due to the nature of the construction, Pinellas County will require the
applicant to connect into the City's sanitary sewer system prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy (CO). To ensure consistency in the application of Building Code inspections and to
prevent any construction liability issues, the project will be built in its entirety under Pinellas
County jurisdiction. For that reason, second reading of the annexation cannot occur until after
the County issues a CO, which is anticipated to be near the end of the year. The Planning
Department will schedule second and final reading after the applicant obtains the CO.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve the annexation, Initial Land Use Plan
Designation of Residential Suburban (RS) and Initial Zoning Atlas Designation of Low Density
Residential (LDR) District for 2327 Nursery Road (a portion of Lot 19, Pinellas Groves, Section
19, Township 29 South, Range 16 East). The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.

Pass Ordinances 7931-08, 7932-08 and 7933-08 on first readinQ. (ANX2008-02003)
This voluntary annexation petition involves two adjacent parcels totaling 0.59 acres of
land. The northern parcel (19-29-16-00000-330-0810) is a strip of land that provides access to
the southern parcel (19-29-16-00000-330-0800), which is occupied by an office use. Both
parcels are approximately 450 feet east of South Belcher Road along Nursery Road. The
applicants are requesting this annexation in order to receive solid waste and sanitary sewer
service from the City. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north and
east. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Plan designation of
Residential/Office General (R/OG) and a zoning category of Office (0).
The Planning Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with
the provisions of Community Development Code Section 4-604.E.
The closest sanitary sewer line is located in the Nursery Road right-of-way and the
applicant is aware of the requirement to pay the City's sewer impact and assessment fee and is
aware of the additional costs to extend City sewer service to the property. Collection of solid
waste will be provided by the City of Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III
and service will be administered through Police Headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen-
Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station
49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not
have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service.

The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective 2.4: Compact urban development within the urban service area shall be
promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
The proposed Residential/Office General (R/OG) Future Land Use Plan category is
consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation
primarily permits office uses with a Floor Area Ratio of 0.50. The proposed zoning district to be
assigned to the property is the Office (0) District. The use of the subject property is consistent
with the uses allowed in the District and the property exceeds the District's minimum
dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the
Countywide Plan, City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code.
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the
north and east; therefore the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve the annexation, Initial Land Use Plan
Designation of Residential/Office General (R/OG) and I nitial Zoning Atlas Designation of Office
(0) District for 2235 Nursery Road (a portion of Section 19, Township 29 South, Range 16 East

This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.19-acre property consisting of one parcel
of land occupied by a single-family dwelling. It is located on the north side of Bellrose Drive
North approximately 720 feet east of Lake Road. The applicant is requesting this annexation in
order to receive solid waste service from the City. The Planning Department is requesting that
the 0.1-acre of abutting Bellrose Drive North right-of-way not currently within the City limits also
be annexed. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north and east. It is
proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Plan designation of Residential Low
(RL) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with
the provisions of Community Development Code Section 4-604.E.
The applicant has paid all of the City's sewer impact and assessment fees and the City
is currently providing service. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of
Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered
through Police Headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen-Booth Road. Fire and emergency
medical services will be provided to this property by Station 47 located at 1460 Lakeview Road.
The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police,
fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public
facilities and their levels of service.
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective 2.4: Compact urban development within the urban service area shall be
promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
The proposed RL Future Land Use Plan category is consistent with the current
Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses
at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is
the LMDR District. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the
District and the property exceeds the District's minimum dimensional requirements. The
proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan, City's Comprehensive
Plan and Community Development Code.
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the
north and east; therefore the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

7.4 Approve Amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan related to the Coastal
HiQh Hazard Area provisions of the Coastal ManaQement Element and Pass Ordinance 7917-08
on first readinQ.
The proposed text amendments to the Coastal Management Element of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan are necessitated by the passage of HB1359 (Chapter 2006 -68, Laws of
Florida), which made a number of changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and to 9J-5.012
F.A.C. This law requires a change in the definition of Coastal High Hazard Area as well as
adoption of a Level of Service (LOS) for evacuation clearance times for a Category 5 storm
event. In addition to these requirements, the Planning Department is also recommending the
adoption of a Coastal Storm Area (CSA). The CSA includes, in addition to the CHHA, those
areas that are not in the CHHA, but can be reached or evacuated only by going through a
CHHA, as well as areas where high concentrations of development and population are not
appropriate due to safety concerns. The CSA recognizes the unique circumstances existing in
the coastal areas of Pinellas County, and ensures proper evacuation. The CSA is a larger area
than the CHHA, but to be concurrent with the County Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the
Countywide Rules and for safety concerns, the CSA terminology is recommended.
The Planning Department and Emergency Management staff are recommending
language that would prohibit the siting of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities
in the CSA. Since the City must follow County Emergency Management directives, these text
amendments are intended to be consistent with language in the Pinellas County
Comprehensive Plan. The recommended amendments were developed in consultation with the
Clearwater Citizen's Advisory Committee, Tampa Bay Regional Planning Commission, Pinellas
County and Pinellas Planning Council.
The Planning Department has determined that the proposed text amendments are
consistent with other provisions of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, will not adversely
impact the use of property, will adversely affect neither the natural environment nor public
facilities. Please refer to the report (CPA2007-06004) for the complete staff analysis.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed these amendments at its public
hearing on February 19, 2008, and unanimously recommended approval, with the following
condition: that a specific time to implement the 36 hour LOS is identified prior to implementation
Council 2008-04-17

of this amendment. Since the time of that public hearing, Planning Staff has been in contact
with Pinellas County Planning Staff. Pinellas County Planning Staff has now been informed by
the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) that DCA is going to raise objections on
every community across the state that does not adopt, at a minimum, a 16-hour Evacuation
LOS, and have, in fact, already objected to St. Petersburg's adoption of an LOS of 36 hours.
County Planning Staff indicated that in view of their conversation with DCA, the County is in the
process of amending their Evacuation LOS to 16 hours. City Planning staff has not
recommended a specific time to implement an Evacuation LOS due to the fact that numerical
estimates for achieving an Evacuation LOS of 16 hours have not yet been developed, although
discussions with staff from various agencies have an estimated range from 50-100 years.
Because this is a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, review and approval by
the Florida Department of Community Affairs is required.
In response to questions, Assistant Planning Director Gina Clayton said DCA originally
approved of the County's 36-hour evacuation timeframe but is now requiring it be 16-hours.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve amendments to the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan related to the Coastal High Hazard Area provisions of the Coastal
Management Element. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

7.5 Approve amendment to the Community Development Code to further the consistency
between the Community Development Code and the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, and to
make other minor editorial chanQes, and Pass Ordinance 7949-08 on first readinQ.
The Planning Department is recommending an amendment to the Community
Development Code (CDC) to ensure consistency between the CDC and the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment will add the Resort Facilities High (RFH)
Future Land Use Plan category to the list of Countywide Future Land Use Plan Designations
compatible with the Commercial (C) and High Density Residential (HDR) Districts consistent
with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance 7949-08 contains information on the proposed amendment.
The CDB reviewed the proposed text amendment at its pubic hearing of March 18, 2008,
as part of a larger text amendment (TA2008-01001/0rdinance 7926-08). The CDB
recommended the approval of the proposed amendment with no comments.
Councilmember Petersen moved to approve an amendment to the Community
Development Code to further the consistency between the Community Development Code and
the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, and to make other minor editorial changes. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

7.6 Approve amendments to the Future Land Use Element of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan related to the adoption of alternative density and intensity standards for
overniQht accommodations, and the addition of an obiective and policies pertaininQ to tourism,
and Pass Ordinance 7924-08 on first readinQ.
The Planning Department is recommending amendments to the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan that would adopt alternative density and intensity standards for overnight
accommodations consistent with the Rules Concerning the Administration of the Countywide
Future Land Use Plan (AKA Countywide Plan Rules) as recently amended by the Countywide
Planning Authority (CPA).
In addition to the adoption of these alternative standards, the proposed amendment
would also establish Objective 2.6 and supporting Policies 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. The objective
and policies identify tourism as a substantial element of the City's economic base and states the
need to support, maintain and enhance this economic sector, as well as encouraging the
development and redevelopment of overnight accommodations and the adoption of higher
densities and intensities that would support such development.
The staff report and Ordinance 7924-08 contain further analysis and information on the
proposed amendment.
The CDB reviewed the proposed amendments at its public hearing of March 18, 2008,
and recommended approval. At the City Council meeting of March 20, 2008, the proposed
Comprehensive Plan amendments were continued to the meeting of April 17, 2008, in
conjunction with associated amendments to Beach by Design and the CDC (TA2008-01001).
As this is a text amendment to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, review and approval
by the Florida DCA is required.
Planner Robert Tefft said in the RFH (Resort Facilities High) land use plan classification,
the ordinance establishes densities for overnight accommodations of 75 units per acre for
properties less than one acre, 100 units per acre for properties between one and three acres,
and 125 units per acre for properties greater than three acres. In the R/O/R
(Residential/Office/Retail) category the alternative maximum overnight density would be 45 units
per acre, in CL (Commercial Limited) the alternative maximum overnight density would be 45
units per acre, in CG (Commercial General) the alternative maximum overnight density would
be 60 overnight units per acre, and in the Industrial Limited the alternative maximum overnight
density would be 75 overnight accommodation units per acre subject to a master development
plan as per the Countywide land rules. The remainder of the ordinance addresses
typographical errors.

In response to questions, City Attorney Pam Akin said the next ordinance modifies all C
zoning with underlying land uses of RFH and eliminates the alternative density in C zoning in
the Community Development Code. It was remarked that this would remove the ability for
additional densities in all C uses. The changes do not pertain to Beach by Design.
Twenty-six people spoke in opposition to increased hotel density on Sand Key and
Island Estates and five people spoke in support of the amendments. Some speakers expressed
support for increased density outside residential areas.
In response to a question, Ms. Akin said staff is researching the location of a map that
was attached to a previous ordinance regarding O/S/R and the CCCL (Coastal Construction
Control Line) on Sand Key. She said according to the Countywide rules, the land use
designation is consistent with the CCCL. The Planning Manager has the ability to make an
appropriate determination regarding density and zoning. Planning Director Michael Delk said
the CCCL limits future development of a parcel. He said development historically has taken
place up to the CCCL on Sand Key. He reviewed the limits of potential development for the
Sheraton and the Cabana Club. Potential development on the Cabana Club property would be
limited to 42 versus 38 hotel rooms if developed as a hotel. No O/S/R would be eliminated.
The Council recessed from 9:52 to 10:00 p.m.
In response to a question, Brian Johnson, Senior Transportation Engineer of DKS
Associates said his firm conducted the traffic study that served as the basis for establishing the
maximum number of units that could be absorbed by the roadway system during peak season
at the beach, State Route 60, and on Sand Key. The results indicate the roadways have
adequate capacity. The study indicated the greatest traffic bottleneck is at Fort Harrison
Avenue and Court and Chestnut streets. In response to a question, Mr. Johnson said he has
been in the transportation field for 35 years.
Traffic Operations Manager Paul Bertels stated Mr. Johnson was not asked to analyze
traffic conditions during the March Spring Break period as nothing can be done to alleviate the
heavy traffic flow during that time period.
In response to questions, Mr. Delk said even if Council approves specific densities
today, applicants must adhere to design guidelines, mass and bulk of buildings, transportation
studies, drainage, FAR, and various other standards. Parking and amenities are included in the
FAR. Traffic studies, evacuation plans etc. also are required. There are no guarantees with
respect to the amount of density an applicant can receive. It was noted that the CDB and
Council review development agreements. Mr. Delk said the City and County performed
extensive studies regarding loss of hotel rooms on the beach and the economic cost to the
community. He said staff is comfortable with their recommendations to Council.
The Council recessed from 11 :38 to 11:45 p.m.
In response to a question, Mr. Delk said the maximum number of additional units the
Marriott could have is 383 based on an additional 4.8 acres at 125 units per acre. The potential
maximum number of additional units for the Sheraton would be 750. It was remarked all the
elements of development process determine the maximum density allowed for a project. In

response to a question, Ms. Akin said the Council could reduce the maximum allowable number
of units and restrict density geographically.
In response to questions, Mr. Delk said the increased density would also apply on US19
and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. It was remarked that many residential neighborhoods back up to
commercial properties on Gulf-to-Bay.
Discussion ensued with comments that Council could review and amend densities in the
future. It was remarked that due to the price and size of property on the mainland, there is no
need to offer incentives to developers there.
Councilmember Cretekos moved that page Two of the Ordinance be amended as
follows: for overnight accommodations of less than 1 Acre (Alternative), 75 units per acre be
changed to 70 units per acre; that for overnight accommodations of between 1 and 3 Acres
(alternative) that the 100 units per acre be changed to 90 units per acre; and that for overnight
accommodations greater than 3 acres (alternative), the 125 units per acre be changed to 110
units per acre. The motion was duly seconded.
Discussion ensued with a suggestion that the reduction in density be greater. It was
reiterated that this would be the maximum number of units and could only be obtained if many
other criteria and standards are met. It was noted, although Sand Key is residential community,
most of the condominiums are vacant half the year and used for rental purposes. It was
remarked that it is disheartening to hear some of the negative comments re tourist expressed
as tourism is important to the entire community, It was felt that not to include the Sheraton and
the Marriott would place them in an incredible disadvantage. It was remarked that previous City
Commissions attempted to limit development on Sand Key, however, a court decided what
could be there. It was felt that a balance is needed as the economy and the market will
determine the type of projects that are built.
Upon the vote being taken, the motion carried unanimously.
Councilmember Cretekos moved that page 3 of the Ordinance be amended to remove
the ability to use alternative density in all commercial areas, with the exception of RFH which
will make it consistent and limit the maximum number of units for overnight accommodations to
50 units per acre. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Councilmember Petersen moved to approve amendments to the Future Land Use
Element of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan related to the adoption of alternative density

7.7 Approve amendments to Beach by DesiQn: A Preliminary DesiQn for Clearwater Beach
and DesiQn Guidelines that establish the Hotel Density Reserve and associated criteria for
allocation, and Pass Ordinance 7925-08 on first readinQ.
The Planning Department is recommending amendments to Beach by Design that would
establish a Hotel Density Reserve containing 1,385 hotel rooms for allocation on a project-by-
project basis to enable hotel development to achieve economic parity and to provide for the
development of new mid-size, mid-priced hotels.
The need for and the size of the Hotel Density Reserve was reached following the
completion of an economic study that identified hotels as having an economic disparity with
condominium development, and the completion of a traffic study that concluded only a
maximum across-the-board density of 90 hotel rooms per acre could be achieved on Clearwater
Beach.
With regard to the economic study, which was conducted in October 2006, it was
determined that condominium development could support on average a land value that is seven
times higher per unit than hotel development. Accordingly, hotels would need roughly 5 to 7
rooms for every condominium unit in order to compete with potential condominium development
in terms of economic viability. The traffic study that was subsequently undertaken in order to
determine the maximum density that could be achieved within the established LOS standards
for the transportation network, determined that Clearwater Beach could support an additional
1,385 hotel rooms or an across-the-board density of 90 hotel rooms per acre. As economic
parity would not be achieved with an across-the-board density, Beach by Design would capture
the development potential that could exist between 50 and 90 hotel rooms per acre within the
Hotel Density Reserve for allocation on a project-by-project basis.
It is also noted that the existing capacity and demand for both potable water and
wastewater was examined and no capacity issues are anticipated with either. The City's
average consumption of potable water is 13 MGD (million gallons per day), and the City has
facilities that can produce 4 MGD with the balance of the potable water service being provided
from Tampa Bay Water via interconnects with Pinellas County, and there is no cap on the
agreement for purchased water. The recent peak historic flow (past five years) for wastewater
is 20.04 MGD and the City has a wastewater capacity of approximately 28.5 MGD. It is further
noted, however, that some wastewater system improvements will be needed at some point, but
the costs associated with those improvements would have to be born by the private sector.
In addition, the amendment also establishes several criteria that must be incorporated
and/or met in order for a project to draw units from the Reserve. Some of those criteria are as
follows:
Those properties and/or developments that have acquired density from the Destination
Resort Density Pool are not eligible to have rooms allocated from the Reserve.
Those properties and/or developments that have had density transferred off to another
property and/or development(s) through an approved Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)
application by the City after December 31,2007, are not eligible to have rooms allocated from
the Reserve.
A maximum of 100 hotel rooms may be allocated from the Reserve to any development
with a lot size less than 2.5 acres. Those developments with a lot size greater than or equal to
Council 2008-04-17
11tem # 4
Attachment number 1
Page 12 of 28
2.5 acres may use the Reserve to achieve a density of 90 hotel rooms per acre. However, in no
instance shall the density of a parcel of land exceed 175 units per acre regardless of whether it
has received benefit of transfers of development rights in addition to the Reserve, or not.
Accessory uses inconsistent with amenities typical of a mid-priced hotel shall require
compliance with the base FAR requirements of the Resort Facilities High (RFH) Future Land
Use category.
The maximum building heights of the various character districts cannot be increased to
accommodate hotel rooms allocated from the Reserve.
When both the allocation of hotel rooms from the Reserve and the TDRs are utilized as
part of a development, only hotel rooms brought in to the project through the TDR process are
eligible to be constructed above the otherwise maximum building height, but only provided that
all TDR criteria are met.
The staff report and Ordinance 7925-08 contain all of the allocation criteria as well as
further analysis and information on the proposed amendment.
The CDB recommended approval of the proposed amendments at its pubic hearing of
March 18,2008, with the condition that the requirement of a minimum lot size be eliminated. It
is noted that at the Council meeting of March 20, 2008, the proposed amendments to Beach by
Design were continued to the meeting of April 17, 2008, in conjunction with associated
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan (CPA2008-01001) and the CDC (TA2008-01001) so
that the staff could work with the Pinellas Planning Council to address their concerns.
It was suggested that there be consistent limitations regarding heights in the Beach Walk
district. Planning Director Michael Delk said another ordinance would be required to address
those changes. Consensus to do so. He confirmed the Beach Walk district is west of
Coronado.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve amendments to Beach by Design: A

Development Code and the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, and to make other minor editorial
chanQes, and Pass Ordinance 7926-08 on first readinQ.
The Planning Department is recommending several amendments to the CDC that are
associated with a companion amendment being proposed to the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan that would adopt alternative density and intensity standards for overnight accommodations
consistent with the Rules Concerning the Administration of the Countywide Future Land Use
Plan (AKA Countywide Plan Rules). As such, several of the proposed amendments are being
brought about to ensure consistency between the CDC and the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan. In addition, however, are a few amendments that are editorial in nature or are refinements
to existing CDC sections.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
Amends the maximum development potential tables associated with the Commercial
(C), Tourist (T) and Industrial, Research and Technology (IRT) Districts so that they are
compatible with the alternative density and intensity standards for overnight accommodations
proposed in Ordinance 7924-08.
OverniQht Accommodation Flexibility Criteria
Revises flexibility criteria for the overnight accommodation use in the Commercial (C),
Tourist (T) and Industrial, Research and Technology (IRT) Districts.
Definitions for OverniQht Accommodations and OverniQht Accommodation Unit
Establishes a definition for the term "overnight accommodation unit" and a revised
definition for the term "overnight accommodation," so as to be consistent with those definitions
set forth in the Countywide Plan Rules.
I ndoor Recreation/Entertainment
Adds flexibility criteria for lot area, lot width, setbacks, height and off-street parking for
the use in the Commercial (C) District where none previously existed, but deviations were
permissible.
Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) District
Removes the overnight accommodations use from the OSR District due to
incompatibilities with the District and corrects an inconsistency with the Countywide Plan Rules.
The staff report provided and Ordinance 7926-08 contain further analysis and
information on the proposed amendments.
The CDB reviewed and approved the proposed text amendments at its public hearing of
March 18,2008. It is noted that at the Council meeting of March 20,2008, the proposed text

The subject site is comprised of two parcels of land totaling 4.50 acres in area. The site
is located on the west side of McMullen-Booth Road approximately 500 feet north of Mease
Drive. Approximately 0.358 acres located at the northeastern corner of the property is located
within unincorporated Pinellas County and is generally undeveloped. The remainder of the site
is located in the City of Clearwater and is occupied by 14 attached dwellings within several one-
story buildings.
The annexation, future land use plan amendment and rezoning are requested by the
applicant, Spinecare Properties, LLC who intends to construct a 45,000 square-foot two-story
medical office building. The CDB reviewed cases ANX2005-02003, LUZ2005-02002, and
DVA2005-00001 at its public hearing on May 17, 2005 and unanimously recommended
approval. The CDB also approved site plan (FLD2005-01014) with 16 conditions at that
meeting.
These requests were removed from consideration at the June 16, 2005 Council Meeting
pending completion of an appeal of the CDB's approval of the applicant's flexible development
site plan application for the property. The applicant prevailed in the appeal and has requested

that the City Council review the pending annexation, land use plan amendment and rezoning
applications.
In August 2007, due to the delays caused by litigation, the Planning Director approved a
time extension to September 6,2008. Provided the pending applications are approved by City
Council, an application for building permit needs to be initiated to construct improvements by
September 6, 2008.
The applicant is requesting the annexation in order to consolidate the entire property
within the City of Clearwater boundaries and to receive sewer and solid waste service. The
Planning Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the following
standards specified in the CDC:
The proposed annexation will not have an adverse impact on public facilities and their
level of service.
The proposed annexation is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the
Countywide Plan, the CDC and Pinellas County Law.
The proposed annexation is contiguous to existing municipal boundaries and represents
a logical extension of the boundaries.
Please refer to the annexation staff report (ANX2005-02003) for the complete analysis.
The Pinellas Planning Council (PPC) staff reviewed this annexation and no objections were
raised.
The applicant is requesting to amend the Future Land Use Plan Map designation from
Residential Suburban (RS) (County) to Residential Low (RL) and Institutional (I) City) and to
rezone it from the A-E, Agricultural Estate District (County) and Low Density Residential (LDR)
(City) District to the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Institutional (I) zoning
districts. The Planning Department determined that the proposed land use plan amendment
and rezoning applications are consistent with the following standards specified in the CDC:
The proposed land use plan amendment and rezoning applications are consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area. Sufficient
public facilities are available to serve the property. The applications will not have an adverse
impact on the natural environment.
It should be noted, an updated traffic impact analysis was submitted to the City in
February 2008. The updated traffic study was required in order to confirm that Level of Service
issues had not changed. City staff determined the Level of Service of the applicable McMullen-
Booth Road segment will still be acceptable after the Spinecare site is developed.
The development agreement reviewed by the CDB will be scheduled for Council action
when the land use plan amendment and rezoning are heard on second reading. The
development agreement proposes to restrict the use of the site, the floor area of the medical
office, the location of parking and retention, specifies buffering, etc. and will be presented for
discussion only at the March 17,2008 City Council Work Session and the March 20,2008 City
Council meetings.

plan amendment is subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the Board of
County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. Review and approval by
the Florida DCA is required.
Ms. Clayton said staff recommends a 20-year development agreement, which is allowed
per Florida Statutes, as it would better protect the neighborhood. She said instead of 69,000
square-feet, the medical facility will be limited to 45,000 square-feet. The height is restricted to
two stories with additional height for parapets and mechanical equipment. Parking restrictions
also include buffering. Windows will be translucent and hours of operation and lighting will be
limited. The Ashland Heights Homeowners' Association is a party to the development
agreement.
Deborah Martohue, representative, said she has letters of support from the Ashland
Height Homeowners' Association and from Dr. Weiland regarding the project. She said the
applicant agrees with the Staff Report. She said the 20-year development agreement protects
neighbors to the north and will begin on the date of final approval of the project. She said the
litigation brought forward by Dr. Weiland would no longer be an issue if this application is
approved. She said the reason the development agreement goes back to the CDB in June is
for their review of the term of the 20-year development agreement. She said the tree
preservation issue also will be addressed before June. In response to a question, Robert
Pergolizzi of Gulf Coast Consultants said the Staff Report stated the LOS on McMullen-Booth
Road is an A. However, his firm performed a more detailed analysis, which indicates it is a LOS

The subject property is located at 2723 S. R. 580, on the south side of S. R. 580
approximately 1,300 feet west of McMullen-Booth Road. On May 5, 2005, the City Council
approved on second reading the annexation (ANX2004-11 019) of this property, as well as a
land use plan amendment from the Residential Urban category to the Residential/Office General
category and rezoning from the property's County designation to the City's Office District
(LUZ2004-11007). The applicant has since constructed a two-story office building, 2,428
square feet in area.
Due to a staff change, the Planning Department audited some files in 2007 and
discovered that this case had not been forwarded to the DCA. This case was processed as an
adopted small-scale amendment and forwarded to DCA consistent with past practices. Upon
review, DCA indicated that the land use plan amendment should have been a large-scale
amendment because the Residential/Office General land use category allows residential density
exceeding 10 units per acre. Clearwater, as well as all Pinellas County communities, has
historically processed land use plan amendments involving a mixed-use land use classification
as small-scale because the categories are not exclusively residential classifications. The DCA
has indicated that any land use category allowing residential density exceeding 10 units per
acre is considered a large-scale amendment and must be processed accordingly. City legal
staff has advised the Planning Department that the ordinances concerning the future land use
and rezoning must be rescinded and replaced by new ordinances. For this reason this case is
being returned to the City Council for consideration.

8.3 Approve a Future Land Use Plan Amendment from the Residential Urban (RU) and
Institutional (I) Classifications to the Residential Medium (RM) Classification and a ZoninQ Atlas
Amendment from the Institutional (I) District to the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District
for property located at 802, 826, and 830 Woodlawn Street and an unaddressed parcel
desiQnated as 22/29/15/00000/320/0200 (consistinQ of a portion of property located in metes
and bounds 32/02,32/03 and 32/07, in Section 22, Township 29 South, RanQe 15 East); and
Pass Ordinances 7945-08 and 7946-08 on first readinQ. (LUZ2006-08006)
This Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) amendment and rezoning application involve
property comprising approximately 8.10 acres in area located northeast of the CSX Railroad
Right-of-Way and Woodlawn Street. This property has FLUP classifications of Residential
Urban (RU) and Institutional (I) and zoning designations of Medium Density Residential (MDR)
and Institutional (I). The applicant is requesting to amend the FLUP designations of the site to
the Residential Medium (RM) classification and to rezone the property to the Medium Density
Residential (MDR) District in order to re-establish the use of the property for multi-family
residential purposes. There is an existing single-family dwelling and eight attached residential
dwelling units on the site.
In 2001, the applicant was seeking to redevelop the site for institutional use. To
accommodate that use, this property went through a land use plan amendment from the
Residential Medium FLUP classification to the Institutional FLUP classification and a rezoning
from the Medium Density Residential to the Institutional Zoning District (Case LUZ 01-08-06).
Today, for the property as described above, the applicant is proposing workforce housing, with
Council 2008-04-17

112 attached residential units. To accommodate the residential use, a portion of the prior site is
now proposed to be Residential Medium FLUP classification and Medium Density Residential
Zoning District.
The Planning Department determined that the proposed future land use plan
amendment and rezoning amendment, as recommended, are consistent with the following
standards specified in the CDC:
The proposed land use plan amendment and rezoning application are consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area. Sufficient
public facilities are available to serve the property. The applications will not have an adverse
impact on the natural environment. Please refer to the land use plan amendment and rezoning
(LUZ2006-08006) staff report for the complete analysis.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the land use plan amendment is subject
to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the Board of County Commissioners acting
as the Countywide Planning Authority. The application is a large-scale amendment and review
and approval by the Florida DCA is required.
The CDB reviewed these applications at its public hearing on September 18, 2007 and
unanimously recommended approval of the FLUP amendment.
In response to a question, Mr. Delk said the property has been zoned Institutional for
many years.
Pastor Randy Morris, representative, said the original plan was to develop this property
for a church. However, as that did not occur, the Woodlawn Church of God is partnering with
developers to provide an affordable housing project on the site.
William Wolf, managing partner, stated the affordable housing project is a good
opportunity to partner with the church and provide the community with affordable housing. In
response to questions, Mr. Wolf stated the church will no longer own the property when the
units are sold. He said the applicant is working with the City to ensure the units remain as
affordable housing units for a designated period of time. He said the target price for the units
are between $130,000 to $160,000. He stated this is the first affordable housing project his
firm has done. His company has mainly been renovation contractors.
Pastor Morris apologized for not following through regarding a meeting he was to have
with the neighbors. Chris Conkell, management partner said the applicant has been working
with the City and County regarding first time homebuyer programs to keep the homes' price
points affordable.
Six people spoke in opposition to the application.
Pastor Morris said the complex will be gated and fenced due to the homeless issue in
the area. He said the zoning would be returned to what it was zoned when the church
purchased it. He said although it was zoned MDR for 12 units per acre in 1999, the request is
for 15 units per acre.
Council 2008-04-17

Page 22 of 28
In response to questions, Ms. Clayton said that 15 units per acre in MDR is not a right.
Applicants must adhere to Code requirements. She said Residential Urban zoning allows 7.5
units per acre. She said the pending site plan application does not request flexibility that would
it require to go before the CDB. Once a development order is issued, the applicant has a right
to appeal it. That appeal would go before the CDB. However, at this time, no review by the
CDB is required. She said as this is a large scale amendment, if the Council continues this
item, it would be delayed until August or September, as DCA review is required.
Discussion ensued. It was felt that more information is needed prior to making a final
decision regarding the application. Disappointment was expressed that the applicant failed to
meet with the neighbors regarding the project.
Councilmember Petersen moved to continue Item 8.3. The motion was duly seconded
and carried unanimously.
8.4 Approve a Future Land Use Plan Amendment from the Industrial Limited (IL)
Classification to the Commercial General (CG) Classification and a ZoninQ Atlas Amendment

South, RanQe 16 East); and Pass Ordinances 7920-08 and 7921-08 on first readinQ. (LUZ2007-
07005) .
This FLUP amendment application involves property comprising approximately 19.05
acres in area and located at the southwest corner of the intersection of State Road 590 and
McMullen-Booth Road. This property, known as Bayside Bridge Plaza, has a FLUP
classification of Industrial Limited (IL) and a zoning designation of Industrial, Research and
Technology (IRT). The applicant is requesting to amend the FLUP classification of the site to
the Commercial General (CG) classification and to rezone the property to the Commercial (C)
District in order to establish a FLUP classification and zoning district that are compatible with the
current uses of the property. The Planning Department determined that the proposed future
land use plan amendment and rezoning amendment, as recommended, are consistent with the
following standards specified in the CDC: 'The proposed land use plan amendment is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. 'The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area.
Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property. The applications will not have an
adverse impact on the natural environment. Please refer to the land use plan amendment and
rezoning (LUZ2007-07005) staff report for the complete analysis. The Planning Department
determined that the amendments are also consistent with the Countywide Rules concerning
Mixed Use Classifications on the Countywide Plan Map on Scenic/Non-Commercial Corridors
since the Commercial General Classification is less intense than the Industrial Limited
Classification. In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the land use plan amendment is
subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the Board of County
Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. The application is a large-scale
amendment and review and approval by the Florida DCA is required. The CDB reviewed this
application at its public hearing on February 19, 2008 and unanimously recommended approval
of the FLUP amendment.
Ed Armstrong, representative, said this request is needed for the property to become a
conforming use.

11. Other items on City Manager Reports
11.1 Terminate the PGP Gas Supply AQreement and its obliQations previously adopted under
Resolution 04-34 and adopt Resolution 08-05.
On February 15, 2008, the Florida Gas Utility (FGU) Executive Committee authorized
the reassignment of FGU's share in the Public Gas Partner (PGP) Pool 1, termination of FGU's
PGP Project, and subsequent withdrawal by FGU from PGP.
The City of Clearwater originally approved the FGU's PGP Gas Supply Agreement 1 by
Resolution 04-34 on December 2, 2004, to include the proposed form of the Natural Gas
Production Sharing Agreement for Gas Supply Pool 1.
Several factors led to FGU's decision to terminate the PGP project, but the primary
factor was that the level of effort and workload associated with the PGP gas, especially once
permanent financing is required and physical delivery of the gas begins, will make the project
uneconomical for the volumes available to FGU, when compared to other potential alternatives
for discounted gas supplies. The other non-FGU partners in PGP are still desirous of amending
the Production Sharing Agreement to re-open the acquisition period and to change reserve
criteria from Proved Developed Producing (PDP) to Proved. This may increase the likelihood of
success in acquiring additional properties but increases the reserve risk factor, which
Clearwater Gas and the other FGU partners do not recommend.
FGU will receive a lump sum payment from PGP on behalf of the other non-FGU PGP
members that will take assignment of FGU's share for $270,000. This will be the full and
complete payment from PGP for FGU's interests in the assets of Pool 1. FGU has deferred
development costs of just over $200,000, which will be paid from the payment. Any additional
legal fees associated with documents related to the assignment and termination of the project
will be paid from the $270,000 payment. Any remaining funds after the payment of all of the
obligations will be distributed to the FGU project participants in proportion to entitlement shares
as reflected in FGU's PGP Gas Supply Agreement 1. The lump sum payment is in addition to
the $0.20/MMBtu distribution that the FGU project participants have received since June 2006.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve terminating the PGP Gas Supply
Agreement and its obligations previously adopted under Resolution 04-34. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
Resolution 08-05 was presented and ready by title only. Councilmember Gibson moved

execute same, and authorize staff to initiate financinQ of the project, and authorize fundinQ from
Central Insurance Fund reserves in the amount of $2,736,097 to advance the $1.5 million to be
paid by the CRA over 3 years and the $1,236,097 of Qrant funds anticipated once the permittinQ
is complete.
As a result of the March 2007 referendum, which approved the downtown boat slips
project, work began on the "Design Build" phase of this waterfront project. A request for
proposal (31-07) produced three bidders (two qualified). The two qualified bidders were
interviewed, then rated and ranked based on the criteria outlined in the RFP. Misener Marine
was ranked highest of the respondents, for which subsequent negotiations with the design/build
team proved successful.
The proposed design contains 132 wet slips in addition to approximately 1,800 feet of
side tie mooring and 630 feet of free transient mooring. Design and permitting is expected to be
completed by December 31, 2008. The construction phase is to begin the first of the year
(2009) and expected to be complete by June 30,2009.
The estimated $12,972,350 cost of the project consists of the following:
Boat Slips:

Upland Improvements:
Sidewalks, curbs, lighting, etc.

there will be no more cost overruns. He said the contractor provides a guaranteed maximum
construction design fee. Assistant City Manager Rod Irwin said included in the total cost of the
project is a 5% contingency for changes needed by the City. It was suggested $2 million of
interest earnings from the Special Development Fund be used to reduce borrowing

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve payment in an amount not to exceed $55,000 for resolution of City claim 0800040, and the appropriate officials be
authorized to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The driver of city vehicle G 2719 (and trailer G3209) was turning left at the intersection of 49thstreet and 118th Avenue North,
when the vehicle and trailer rolled onto its side. There was no citizen involvement in this incident.
G2719 is a 2003 Sterling LT9500 tractor, with an original purchase price of $76,608. G3209 is a 2006 Steco aluminum ejector
transfer trailer, with an original purchase price of $60,984.
These combined units are used to haul refuse from the City's transfer station to Pinellas County's Waste to Energy facility.
The City requested three estimates for repair of the vehicle and for the trailer. Fleet Maintenance has evaluated the estimates and
has chosen the most responsible companies to repair the units. R&B Auto Body, Inc., will be repairing the tractor, and Florida
Utility Trailers, Inc., is repairing the trailer. The truck tractor repair is estimated to be $20,909.48, and the trailer repair is estimated
at $18,309.57. Additionally, the City incurred $2,194.50 for recovery and towing.
There may be hidden damage to these units that can be found only during the repair process. Risk Management has made
allowance for this, and is recommending settlement of this City claim at an amount not to exceed $55,000.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve co-sponsorship and waiver of requested City fees and service charges for FY 2008-2009 special events including six
annual City events; and thirteen City co-sponsored events (a reduction of three events); at an estimated General Fund gross cost of
$470,628 ($34,300 representing cash contributions and $436,328 representing in-kind contributions) and enterprise fund cost and
fee waiver of $67,350 for the purposes of departmental budget submittals. (consent)
SUMMARY:
According to the City Code of Ordinances on special events there shall be an annual review of City sponsored/co-sponsored events
during the budget process. An agenda item approving co-sponsorship and level of support for these events will be brought before
the City Council at the beginning of the budget process each fiscal year.
In the event additional money is requested beyond what is included in the approved budget, City Council approval will be needed
before additional funds are dispersed.
The chart shows cash and in-kind contributions requested to be included in FY 2008/09 budget for City sponsored and co-
sponsored special events. In addition, the 2007/2008 approved spreadsheet is provided for comparison purposes.
"In-kind contributions" are included in operating budgets under various departments. "In-kind contributions" decreased by $58,110
or a 11.8% reduction. Decreases occurred due to:
Elimination of marketing support for Farmers Market.
Eliminate City funding for buyout of Harborview Center for Festival of Trees.
Require Jazz Holiday to fund police needed for alcohol sales.
Require all events to fund police needed for alcohol sales.
Cancellation of Holiday Parade.
Elimination of fall concert (Christian Concert event).
"Cash Requests" have been reduced by $21,225 to $34,300or a 38% reduction. The following have been recommended to be
eliminated:
African American Heritage Festival - Event is held outside of Clearwater (-$4,750)
Florida Orchestra - Reduced to previous funding level and one event for $15,000
(-$14,100).
Delete Mayfest cash funding (-$2,375).

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the staff ranking for Biosolids Services (RFP 13-08) and award a contract to H&H Liquid Sludge Disposal, Inc. of
Branford, Florida for the sum of $2,129,727.60 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater solicited proposals/bids (RFP) from qualified specialty service contractors to perform wastewater
biosolids management services for the City's three advanced pollution control facilities. Three complete proposals were received
and opened in the office of the Purchasing Manager on March 11, 2008. The decision to obtain bids using RFP's was made based
on the necessity to review contractor's qualifications and ability to properly dispose of the material in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations.
Specifically, the contractor will be required to remove and dispose of dewatered and stabilized (Class B) and/or dewatered
and unstabilized domestic wastewater residuals (residuals) from the City's Marshall Street and Northeast advanced pollution
control facilities (APCF), and also haul liquid un stabilized residuals from the City's East APCF and possibly Marshall Street
APCF to the Northeast APCF.
The term of the contract award shall be for twenty-four (24) months from the date of execution of the agreement with an
option for a one-year extension at the discretion of the City.
The Contractor accepts full responsibility and liability for the hauling and disposal of residuals from the points of loading
from the source facility, in accordance with Chapter 62-640, F.A.C. and shall be responsible to comply with existing Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) residuals treatment
and disposal regulations and any changes made in these regulations during the contract period.
The City's current contract for the hauling and disposal of biosolids expires April 30, 2008 and staff anticipated that the
pricing for contracted hauling would increase due to regulatory constraints and escalations on fuel costs. The bid received is within
the budgeted amount for these services.
Sufficient budget is available in the Water & Sewer Utility Fund operating cost center 0421-01351, WPC Operations, to fund
$354,140.00 of the current year cost of this contract and is planned in the budget request to be brought forward for FY08/09 in the
amount of $700,000.00, FY09110 in the amount of $700,000.00 and $375,587.60 in FY 10111.

RESIDUALS BID ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
A. Base Bid Items
There are three (3) base bid items as described in this section. The contract will be
awarded based on the sum of the bid prices of these three items, and the evaluation
process described in Part A.6.
1. Stabilized (Class B) Biosolids (Dewatered Cake) to Land Application
The estimated annual amount of dewatered and stabilized (Class B) Biosolids to be
removed and disposed of from the Northeast APCFs is approximately Ten
Thousand Eight Hundred (10,800) wet tons, based on an assumed solids
concentration of 16%. The amount of residuals to be removed daily will vary from
day to day as required for efficient plant operation, however, an estimate of .....
two hundred and eight (208) wet tons will need to be removed
weekly.
For bidding purposes the following removal and disposal quantities of stabilized
and dewatered residuals shall be used:
Stabilized (Class B) Biosolids from the Northeast APCF:
208 wet tons per week
2. Unstabilized Sludge (Dewatered Cake) to Landfill
The estimated annual amount of dewatered and unstabilized residuals to be
removed and disposed of from the Marshall Street APCFs is approximately Six
Thousand Eight Hundred (6,800) wet tons, based on an assumed solids
concentration of 16%.
For bidding purposes the following removal and disposal quantities of stabilized
and dewatered residuals shall be used:
Unstabilized residuals from the Marshall Street APCF:
131 wet tons per week
3. Liquid Sludge (Approximately 6% Total Solids) East APCF to NE APCF
The East APCF produces a liquid residual that requires transport to the Northeast
APCF for stabilization and dewatering. The estimated amount of unstabilized liquid
residuals to be hauled from the East APCF to the Northeast APCF for stabilization
10
Item # 15
Attachment number 3
Page 11 of 28
and dewatering will vary from day to day as required for efficient plant operation;
however an estimate of approximately 54,000 gallons per week will need to be
hauled. The liquid biosolids are approximately 6% (+/- 2%) total solids and are
unstablized.
Bidders shall use the following hauling quantities for bidding purposes:
Unstabilized sludge from the East APCF to the Northeast APCF (a distance of
approximately 5 miles): 54,000 gallons per week
B. Alternate Bid Items:
The City is interested in other sludge disposal options as shown in the following
alternate items. Bidder is not required to submit the alternate bid prices, but
inclusion will facilitate selection and award of contract.
1. Class B Biosolids Requiring Incorporation
In the event that routine testing of biosolids generated at the Northeast APCF
determines that the biosolids meet the Class B requirements for Pathogen
Reduction, but do not meet the Class B requirement for Vector Attraction
Reduction, the City wants the option of hauling these dewatered residuals to the
hauler's permitted site for incorporation into the soil within 6 hours of application
on the land.
The amount of residuals to be removed and disposed of in this manner will vary
depending on the results of the routine biosolids testing.
For bidding purposes the following removal and disposal quantities of Class B
biosolids requiring incorporation shall be used:
Class B Bioslids Requiring Incorporation:
208 wet tons per week
2. Unstablized Sludge (Dewatered Cake) to RMF
The City may decide that unstabilized dewatered residuals can be hauled to an RMF
based on hauling and disposal fees. This may include the unstablized and
dewatered residual generated at the Marshall Street APCF, any dewatered residuals
generated at the Northeast APCF that routine testing determines does not meet
Class B requirements for stabilization, or the combination of these two residual
quantities.
The amount of residuals to be removed daily will vary from day to day as required
for efficient plant operation and will depend on the results of the routine biosolids
testing. However, for bidding purposes an estimate of two hundred (200) wet tons
11
Item # 15
Attachment number 3
Page 12 of 28
Bidders shall use the following hauling quantities for bidding purposes:
Unstabilized sludge to RMF:
208 wet tons per week
3. Liquid Sludge (Approx. 6% Total Solids) to NE APCF (Additional Storage
Truck Method)
The liquid residuals produced by the Marshall Street APCF can be either waste
activated sludge or a mixture of primary and waste activated sludge. If the City
decides that only waste activated sludge is to be hauled to the Northeast APCF for
stabilization and dewatering, the hauler will be required to have a minimum 6,000
gallon sludge tanker on site at all times available for filling and then hauling to the
Northeast APCF. This is necessary because the Marshall Street APCF does not have
storage tanks available to isolate primary and waste activated sludges. The liquid
biosolids are approximately 6% (+/- 2%) total solids and are unstablized.
The estimated amount of unstabilized liquid residuals (waste activated sludge) that
can be hauled from the Marshall Street APCF to the Northeast APCF for
stabilization and dewatering will vary from day to day and will depend on the
capability and capacity of the systems at the Northeast APCF.
Bidders shall use the following hauling quantities for bidding purposes:
Unstabilized liquid sludge from the Marshall Street APCF to the Northeast
APCF (a distance of approximately 8.5 miles):
Waste activated sludge only: 25,000 gallons per week
Note that all of these residual quantities should be used for estimating purposes only. The actual
quantities may vary because the City may be able to produce Class B Biosolids from a portion of
the Marshall Street APCF sludge at the Northeast APCF, or conditions may not allow all sludge
treated at the Northeast APCF to meet Class B requirements. Therefore, this quantity can be
either all Class B biosolids, all unstabilized sludge, or any combination of the two.
It is further understood that these quantities are not exact and that the City makes no guarantee of
the total amounts to be hauled or removed for disposal. Seasonal fluctuations may require
processing of 200% of the average. Should the City encounter operational problems at the
APCFs which impact the shipment of bio-solids, the Contract shall make every effort to
accommodate such interruptions.
12
Item # 15
Attachment number 3
Page 13 of 28
Frequency of Removal: An estimate of six hundred thirty five (340) wet tons per 7-day week of
thickened wastewater residuals shall be removed with such removal distributed over a 5 day
period, between the hours of 7:00 AM. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. For residuals
removal at other times, a verbal request must be submitted to the Wastewater Supervisor for
approval. Residuals disposal on City observed/calendar holidays without additional compensation
will be scheduled only if necessary.
The Contractor shall coordinate the scheduling of residuals removal during the above days and
times with the Wastewater Supervisor or his designee. Under no circumstances shall scheduled
residuals removal be delayed more than 48 hours. See Paragraph 12 regarding Penalties. The
Contractor shall notify the Wastewater Supervisor or his designee immediately whenever
situations develop that would interfere with the scheduled residuals removal.
COMPOSITION OF SLUDGE
The Clearwater Northeast and Marshall Street APCFs will provide stabilized and/or unstabilized
domestic wastewater residuals at a solids concentration of ranging from approximately 16.0% to
18% total solids. The following is the latest 12-month average of reported parameters for the

Re: Residuals Site Inspection
Fox Branch and Fenton Ranch Land Application Sites
Facility ID# FLA290343 and FLA290327
Polk County
Dear Mr. Hacht:
On February 28, 2006, Department staff performed Residuals Site Inspections (RSIs) at the Land
Application Sites (LASs) mentioned above. Based on these inspections and a review of the information
on file with the Department, the following items are being brought to your attention:
ACCESS CONTROL
At the time of inspection, the main gates at both LASs were closed and public access was properly
restricted to prevent unauthorized entry. The LASs did have advisory signs posted indicating the nature
of the project area and public access restrictions.
APPLICATION PRACTICES
Fox Branch LAS: Department staff observed the residuals incorporation technique of "Spike Dragging"
and approves this method to meet the vector attraction requirement in Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 503, Section 33(b)(10)(i) as it was demonstrated at RAZ 6-A of the Fox Branch LAS,
Polk County, on February 28, 2006. Should you wish to use this method at another LAS besides the
Fox Branch and Circle Cross LAS, please notify the Department.
Fenton LAS: There was no active application during the inspection, but Department personnel observed
other residuals applied to various sections of RAZ 29-5, 32-1, and 32-3. Department staff determined
the residuals were Class AA from the City of Lake land Glendale VVVVTF's Bioset process.
SITE RESTRICTIONS
Fox Branch LAS: Cattle were fenced and restricted from RAZ 6-A and to other zones recently applied
to.

GROUNDW A fER TABLE
Fox Branch LAS: No visible piezometers or other instruments were observed at RAZ 6-A where
residuals were being actively applied, but H & H staff had dug a 36 inch deep hole to determine the
water level to be 33 inches from the ground surface.
RESIDUALS TRACKING LOG
"'There were no records found in the mailbox at the Fenton LAS main gate i~dicating land application of
residuals. The department requests that the log be maintained at least during the time of the activity and,
preferably, for one year following land application.
The type of inspection conducted was a Residuals Site Inspection (RSI) and, overall, the Fox Branch
Site and the Fenton Site were In Compliance. Please note that a RSI is a non-sampling inspection
designed to verify permittee compliance with the residuals application requirements of the permit.
Copies of the inspection reports are attached.
The Department requests a written response within twenty days of receipt of this letter outlining action
taken to correct the items marked with an asterisk ("'). You may direct any questions to the undersigned
at the DEP Southwest District office, telephone number (813) 632-7600, extension 441, or bye-mail to

the actual spreading area where residuals can be applied. Site assessments include the use of
maps, geographical infonnation systems and field verification; you or your representatives are
encouraged to participate when possible. Based on the results of the site assessments. the acreage
amounts for each zone were detennined by subtracting non-usable acreage, such as wetlands,
forested and setback areas, from the total acreage of each zone (see attached map.)
The new applicable acreage for each zone is listed in the following table.

H&H Liquid Sludge Disposal, Inc.
History and Documented Operations
H&H LSD, Inc was started in May of 1978 by the co-founder and President Rick Hacht.
His original partner was Harry Huizenga who helped develop Waste Management. It was
there on Mr. Huizenga's ranch where Mr. Hacht permitted the State's first ever land
utilization site for domestic sludges.
In 1989, Mr. Huizenga retired and transferred his H&H stock to his son-in-law Harris
Whit Hudson. Mr. Hudson had fonnerly been with Waste Management, Inc. and at the
time of his stock transfer, he had started Hudson Management. Later he became part
owner of Republic Waste Industries, Inc. and served as their President. In 1996, Mr.
Hacht purchased Mr. Hudson's stock and became sole owner ofH&H LSD, Inc.
In 1978, Mr. Hacht when he was an environmental enforcement officer visualized and
knew that with Florida's rapid growth rate in Cities and Counties that they would be
burdened with their handling and disposing of both water and wastewater plant sludges.
It was this reason that Mr. Hacht fonned a service company for hauling and disposing of
domestic and industrial liquid and dewatered sludges.
Over the past 30 years, H&H has become a full service Company involved with
agricultural site pennitting, press dewatering, lime-stabilization, landfill leachate hauling,
biosolids composting, lift-station emergency pumping, operating wastewater treatment
plants, and marketing compost and pelletize biosolid products.
Since its beginning, H&H has developed an excellent rapport with City and County
Utilities statewide. The Company is proud of its past performance and its present day
reputation of having the best and most dependable company in the waste industry. The
Company takes pride in having accepted the challenge ofbiosolid utilization and is
extremely pleased with its skillful ability to handle numerous contracts at the same time.
To date the Company averages 100 employees that consists of loyal administration
personnel, dedicated supervisors, conscientious professional truck drivers, and field
personnel. All are trained to be courteous and helpful in servicing City and County
Utilities.
Company equipment is the best in the waste industry. All company tractors are late
models that pull tankers and dump trailers that are routinely reconditioned and modified
to perform the best possible service. All trailers are DOT approved and are maintained at
DOT certified facilities.
In the past 30 years, H&H has been the primary company in providing statewide hauling
and disposal services. Many of the same Cities and Counties have been for years
continuous customers. They include Cities like City of Sunrise, City of Margate, City of
Plantation, City of Fort Lauderdale, City of Hollywood, City of Tampa, City of St. Item # 15

Petersburg, City of Jacksonville, City of Miami-Dade, City of West Palm Beach, City of
Orlando, and many others. Counties such as Pinellas County, Clay County, Brevard
County, Broward County, Palm Beach County, Orange County, Manatee County,
Hillsborough County and many others.
Since H&H's inception, it has been contracting with cities and counties to help provide
for the needs in the water and wastewater industry. In the 30 years of doing business, the
company has become a full service establishment that can perform various tasks in water
and wastewater such as:
I) Transporting liquid and dewatered solids.
2) Land-applying Class "B" or Class "AA" residuals to the citrus groves,
farms, nurseries, ranches, and sod fields.
3) Dewatering wastewater or manufacturing process sludges with filter
belts and plate presses.
4) Chemically treating and stabilizing by lime, waste activated or non-
vector treated biosolids.
5) Composting Class "B" biosolids to Class "AA".
6) Marketing Class "AA" to agricultural, commercial and retail
distributors.
H&H's primary objective will be to continue to service Florida Cities and Counties at fair
prices and provide the latest waste technologies available.

fourths of the time. Crop residue and soil-improving
crops help to maintain organic matter content and
protect the soil from erosion. Seedbed, preparation
should indude bedding of the rows. Fertilizer and lime
should be added according to the needs of the crop.
Unless intensive management practices are used,
this soil is poorly suited to citrus. A carefully designed
water control system is required. Citrus trees should be
planted on beds. and a plant cover should be
maintained between the trees. Fertilizer and lime are
needed.
This soil is well suited to pastures of pangolagrass,
improved bahiagrass, and white clover. Water-control
measures are needed to remove excess surface water
after heavy rainfall. Fertilizer and lime are needed, and
grazing should be controlled to prevent overgrazing and
weakening of the plants.
Typically, the South Florida Flatwoods range site
includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation is
scattered pine trees with an understory of saw palmetto
and grass. If good grazing management practices are
used, this range site has the potential to produce
significant amounts of creeping bluestem, lopsided
indiangrass, chalky bluestem, and various panicums. If
range deterioration occurs, saw palmetto and pineland
threeawn are dominant.
The potential productivity for pine trees is moderately
high. The major concerns in management are seedling
mortality, plant competition, and the equipment use
limitation during periods of heavy rainfall. South Florida
slash pilTe and slash'.pine are the best trees to plant.
This soil is severely limited as a site for urban
development because of the wetness. The high water
table interferes with proper functioning of septic tank
absorption fields. The absorption fields can be elevated
by adding fill material. To overcome the problems
caused by wetness on sites used for buildings or local
roads and streets, a drainage system can be installed to
lower the high water table or fill material can be added
to increase the effective depth to the high water table.
The wetness and the sandy surface are severe
limitations affecting recreational uses. A water-control
system is needed to keep the high water table below a
depth of 2.5 feet. Suitable topsoil or pavement can be
used to stabilize the surface in heavy traffic areas.

dominant in many areas.
Wetness is a severe limitation affecting cultivated
crops. Under natural conditions, this soil is not suitable
for cultivation, but with adequate water control it is well
suited to most vegetable crops. The water-control
system should remove water when crops are on the
land and keep the soil saturated with water at other
times.
This soil is not suited to citrus.
If adequate water-control measures are used, this
soil is well suited to pastures of pangolagrass,
bahiagrass, and white clover. Grazing should be
controlled to maintain plant vigor and good ground
cover. Fertilizer that is high in potash, phosphorus, and
minor elements is needed along with lime.
Typically, the Freshwater Marshes and Ponds range
site includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation
is an open expanse of grasses, sedges, rushes, and
other herbaceous plants in areas where the soil
generally is saturated or covered with water for at leas!

practices are used, this range site has the potential to
produce more forage than any of the other range sites.
Chalky bluestem and blue maidencane dominate the
drier parts of the site, and maidencane is dominant in
the wetter parts. Other desirable forage includes
cutgrass, bluejoint panicum, sloughgrass, and low

needed natural deferment from overgrazing. If
excessive grazing occurs, common carpetgrass, an
introduced plant, tends to dominate the drier parts of
the site.
This soil is not suited to pine trees beca:use of the
excessive wetness and the ponding.
This soil has severe limitations affecting septic tank
absorption fields, building sites, and local roads and
streets. Special measures are required to overcome the
excessive wetness. If this soil is used for urban
development, the organic material needs to be

The natural vegetation is longleaf pine, South Florida
slash pine, slash pine, saw palmetto, gallberry,
waxmyrtle, oak, fetterbush Iyonia, and pineland

This soil has very severe limitations affecting
cultivated crops. Wetness and low natural fertility limit
the choice of plants and reduce potential yields. If
intensive management practices and a water-control
system are used, some vegetables can be grown. The
water-control system must remove excess water in wet
periods ahd supply water as needed in dry periods.
Crop residue and soil-improving cover crops add
organic matter to the soil and improve fertility. Fertilizer
should be applied according to the needs of the crop.
This soil generally is poorly suited to citrus because
of the excessive wetness. It is suitable only if a water-
control system is used to maintain the water table at an
effective depth. Citrus trees should be planted on beds,
and a plant Cover should be maintained between the
trees. Fertilizer and lime are needed,
This soil is well suited to pasture and hay crops;
however, a good water-control system is needed to
remove excess water. Pangolagrass and bahiagrass are
suitable pasture plants. Grasses respond to regular
applications of fertilizer and lime. Grazing should be
. controlled to maintain plant vigor and a good ground
cover.

Typically, the surface lay'er of this soil to a depth of
about 15 inches is dark gray fine sand that grades to
grayish brown. The underlying material is very pale
brown fine sand to a depth of about 35 inches and light
gray fine sand to a depth of at least 80 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Anclote, Basinger, and Placid soils. These soils are
similar to the Pompano soil. The included soils make up
15 to 20 percent of the map unit.
This Pompano soil has a seasonal high water table
within a depth of 12 inches for 2 to 4 months during
most years. The available water capacity is very low,
and permeability is rapid.
Most areas of this soil are in range or pasture. The
natural vegetation consists of widely spaced cypress,
South Florida slash pine, and slash pine with an
understory of saw palmetto, creeping bluestem,
lopsided indiangrass, pineland threeawn, sand
cordgrass, and panicums. .
Wetness and droughtiness are very severe limitations
affecting cultivated crops. If water-control and soil-
improving measures are used, vegetable crops can be
grown. Crop rotations ,should include close-growing,
soil-improving crops. Crop residue and soil-improving
crops help to maintain organic matter content and
protect the soil from erosion.
In its natural condition, this soH is poorly suited to
citrus. A carefully designed water-control system is
needed to maintain the water table at an effective
depth.
This soil is well suited to pastures of pangolagrass,
improved bahiagrass, and white clover.
Typically, the Slough range site includes areas of this
soil. The dominant vegetation is a few scattered pine
trees surrounded by grasses, sedges, and rushes. If
good grazing management practices are used, this site
has the potential to produce significant amounts of blue
maidencane, maidencane, toothachegrass, chalky
bluestem, and Florida bluestem. If range deterioration
occurs, common carpetgrass, an introduced plant, is
dominant.
The potential productivity for pine trees is moderate.
The major concerns in management are the equipment
use limitation, seedling mortality, and plant competition;
Slash pine and South Florida slash pine are the best

Typically, this soil has a very dark gray fine sand
surface layer about 6 inches thick. The underlying
material to a depth of at least 80 inches is fight
yellowish brown fine sand that grades to very pale
brown.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Tavares, Satellite, and Zolfo soils. Tavares and Satellite
soils are similar to the Adamsville soil. Zolfo soils have
a dark subsoil. The included soils make up 15 to 20
percent of the map unit.
This Adamsville soil has a'seasonal high water table
at a depth of 20 to 40 inches for 2 to 6 mor,lths during
mOst years. The available water capacity is low.

Most areas of this soil are in citrus. Some remain in
natural vegetation that is mostly slash pine, long leaf
pine, laurel oak, and water oak and an understory of
saw palmetto, pine/and threeawn, indiangrass:
bluestem, and panicums.
Periodic wetness and droughtiness are very severe
limitations affecting cultivated crops. The number of
suitable crops is very limited unless intensive water-
control measures are used. A water-control system
must remove excess water in wet periods and provide
irrigation in dry periods. If a water-control system is
used. this soil is well suited to many kinds of flowers
and vegetables. Soil-improving crops and crop residue
help to maintain organic matter content and protect the
soil from erosion. .
Unless this soil is drained, it is not suited to citrus. If
a well designed drainage system is used, this soil is
mOderately suited. Citrus trees should be planted on
beds. A ground cover of close-growing plants should be

fourths of the time. Crop residue and soil-improving
crops help to maintain organic matter content and
protect the soil from erosion. Seedbed preparation
should include bedding of the rows. Fertilizer and lime
should be added according to the needs of the crop.
Unless intensive management practices are used,
this soil is poorly suited to citrus, A carefully designed
water control system is required. Citrus trees should be
planted on beds, and a plant cover should be
maintained between the trees. Fertilizer and lime are
needed.
This soil is well suited to pastures of pangolagrass,
improved bahiagrass, and white clover. Water-control
measures are needed to remove excess surface water
after heavy rainfall. Fertilizer and lime are needed, and
grazing should be controlled to prevent overgrazing and
weakening of the plants.
Typically, the South Florida Flatwoods range site
includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation is
scattered pine trees with an understory of saw palmetto
and grass. If good grazing management practices are
used, this range site has the potential to produce
significant amounts of creeping bluestem, lopsided
indiangrass, chalky bluestem, and various panicums. If
range deterioration occurs, saw palmetto and pinel and
threeawn' are dominant.
The potential productivity for pine trees is moderately
high. The major concerns in management are seedling
mortality, plant competition, and the equipment use
limitation during periOds of heavy rainfall. South Florida
slash pine and slash pin~ are the be~t trees to plant.
This soil is severely limited as a site for urban
development because of the wetness. The high water
table interferes with proper functioning of septic tank
absorption fields. The absorption fields can be elevated
by adding fill material. To overcome the problems
caused by wetness on sites used for buildings or local
roads and streets, a drainage system can be installed to
lower the high water table or fill material can be added
to increase the effective depth to the high water table.
The wetness and the sandy surface are severe
limitations affecting recreational uses. A water-control
system is needed to keep the high water table below a
depth of 2.5 feet. Suitable topsoil or pavement can be
used to stabilize the surface in heavy traffic areas.

16-Urban land. This map unit consists of areas that
are more than 85 percent covered by buildings, streets,
houses, schools, shopping centers, and industrial
complexes. Urban land is mainly in larger towns and
fringe areas. Open areas include lawns and
playgrounds. Because soils in urban areas have been
reworked, they can no longer be recognized as a
natural soil. Fill material has been added in wet areas
to alleviate water problems, or soil material has been
excavated to blend with the surrounding landscape,
Neither a capability subclass nor a woodland
ordination symbol has been assigned to this map unit.
"Q-smyrna and Myakka fine sands. This map unit
consists of poorly drained soils in broad areas on
flatwoods. It is about 55 percent Smyrna soil and 40
percent Myakka soil, but the proportion varies in each
mapped area. Areas of each soil are large enough to be
mapped separately, but because of present and
predicted use, these soils were mapped as one unit.
Areas of these soils range from 10 to seve'ral hundred
acres. Slopes are smooth to concave and are 0 to 2
percent.
Typically, this Smyrna soil has a black fine sand
surface layer about 4 inches thick. The subsurface layer
is gray fine sand to a depth of about 12 inches. The
subsoil is dark brown and brown fine sand to a depth of'
about 25 inches, Below that is very pale brown fine
sand to a depth of about 42 inches and very dark brown
fine sand to a depth of about 48 inches. The underlying
material is brown and light brownish gray fine sand to a
depth of at least 80 inches.
Typically, this Myakka soil has a very dark gray fine

layer is gray fine sand to depth of about 25 inches. The
subsoil to a depth of about 36 inches isfine sand. It is
black in the upper part and dark brown in the lower
part, The underlying material is yellowish brown fine

months inmost years. The available water capacity is
low. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid in the
subsoil.
Included with these soils in mapping are small areas
of Basinger, Immokalee, ana, and Pomona soils.
Pomona soils have a loamy subsoil. Basinger,
Immokalee, and Ona soils are similar to the Smyrna
and Myakka soils. The included soils make up 5 to 15
percent of the map unit.
The natural vegetation on Smyrna and Myakka soils
is mostly longleaf pine, slash pine, South Florida slash
pine, saw palmetto, running oak, gallberry, waxmyrtle,
huckleberry, pineland threeawn, and scattered
fetterbushlyonia. A few areas around large lakes are in
oak hammocks,
Wetness and droughtiness are severe limitations
affecting cultivated crops. The number of suitable crops
is limited unless very intensive management practices
are used. If good water-control and soil-improving
measures are used, some vegetable crops can be
grown. A water-control system must remove excess
water in wet periods and provide irrigation water in dry
periods. Crop rotation should keep close-growing, soil-
improving crops on the land three-fourths of the time.
Crop residue and soil-improving crops help to maintain
organic water content and protect the soil from eroding.
Seedbed preparation should include bedding of the
rows. Fertilizer and lime should be added according to
the needs of the crop.
Unless very intensive water management practices
are used, these soils are poorly suited to citrus. Areas
subject to frequent freezing are not suitable. A water.
control system must maintain the water table at an
effective depth. Citrus trees should be planted on beds,
and a plant cover should be maintained between the
trees. Fertilizer and lime are needed.
These soils are well suited to pastures of
pangolagrass, improved bahiagrass, and white clover.
Water-control measures are needed to remove excess
surface water after heavy rainfall. Fertilizer and lime are
needed, and grazing should be controlled to prevent
overgrazing and weakening of the plants.
Typically, the South Florida Flatwoods range site
includes areas of these soils. The dominant vegetation
is scattered pine trees with an understory of Saw
palmetto and grass. If good grazing management

19-Florldana mucky fine sand, depressional. This
very poorly drained soil is in depressional areas mostly
on flatwoods. Areas of this soil range from 3 to several
hundred acres. Slopes are smooth to concave and are
o to 2 percent.
Typically, this soil has a surface layer that is 15
inches thick. The upper part is black mucky fine sand
and the lower part is black fine sand. The subsurface
layer to a depth of about 28 inches is fine sand. It is
gray in the upper part and grayish brown in the lower
part. The subsoil is grayish brown sandy clay loam to a
depth of about 40 inches, light grayish brown sandy
clay loam to a depth of about 48 inches, gray sandy
clay loam to a depth of about 58 inches, and greenish

Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Chobee, Felda, Holopaw, and Kaliga soils. Chobee soils
have a loamy subsoil within 20 inches of the surface.
Kaliga soils are organic. Felda and Holopaw soils are

;"organic soil is in swamps and marshes. Areas of this
'< soil range from 30 to several hundred acres. Slopes are
(smooth and are less than 2 percent. .
.~. Typically, this soil is black to dark reddish brown
:, muck to a depth of about 31 inches. The underlying .-
;:' material is sand to a depth of at least 80 inches. It is'
black in the upper part and dark grayish brown in the
lower part.
, Included with this soil in mapping are Hontoon and
r Placid soils. Hontoon soils are similar to the Samsula
soil. Placid soils are sandy. The included soils make up
about 10 to 20 percent of the map unit.
This Samsula soil has a seasonal high water table at
or above the surface except during extended dry
periods. Areas on flood plains are subject to frequent
flooding as well as to ponding. The available water
capacity is high. Permeability is rapid.
The natural vegetation is mostly loblollybay gordonia,
cypress, red maple, blackgum, and other water-tolerant
trees and pine trees. The ground cover is greenbrier,

generally is saturated or covered with. water for at least
2months during the year. If good grazing management
practices are used, this range site has the potential to
produce more forage than any of the other range sites.
Chalky bluestem" and blue maidencahe dominate the
drier parts .ofthe site, and maldehcane is dominant in
the wetter parts. Other desirable forage includes
cutgrass, bluejoint panicum, sloughgrass, and low
panicums. Periodic high water levels' provide a much
needed natural deferment from overgrazing. If
excessive grazing Occurs, common carpetgrass, an
introduced plant, tends to dominate the drier parts of
the site.
This soil is not suited to pine trees because of the
excessive wetness and the ponding.
This soil has severe limitations affecting septic tank
absorption fields, building sites, and local roads and
streets. Special measures are required to overcome the
excessive wetness. If this soil is used for urban
development, the organic material needs to be
removed, the area should be backfilled with suitable soil
material, and water-control measures must be
established.
Excessive wetness and organic matter content are
severe limitations affecting recreational uses.

14-Sparr sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes. This
somewhat poorly drained soil is in areas of seasonally
wet uplands and knolls on flatwoods. Areas of this soil
range from about 10 to 40 acres. Slopes are smooth,
Typically, this soil has a dark gray sand surface layer

about 8 inches thick. The subsurface layer is brown to
very pale brown sand to a depth of about 57 inches.
The subsoil is sandy clay loam to a depth of at least 80
inches. It is very pale brown in the upper part, yellowish
brown In the next part, and light gray in the lower part.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Apopka, Candler, Millhopper, and Tavares soils,
Apopka soils are well drained, Candler and Tavares
soils do not have a loamy subsoil. Millhopper soils are
similar to the Sparr soil. The included soils make up 15
to 20 percent of the map unit,
This Sparr soil has a seasonal high water table at a
depth of 20 to 40 inches for 1 to 4 months in most
years. The available water capacity is low. Permeability
is moderately slow or slow in the subsoil.
Most areas of this soil are used for citrus, pasture, or
range. The natural vegetation is. mostly oak, hickory,
magnolia, sweetgum, slash pine, South Florida slash
pine, andlongleaf pine. The understory includes
gallberry, waxmyrtle, scattered saw palmetto, and.
pineland threeawn,
Droughtiness and rapid leaching of plant nutrients'
are severe limitations affecting cultivated crops. If good
water management and soil-improving measures are
used, however, fruit and vegetable crops can be grown.
For best yields, crops need to .be irrigated during dry
periods. Row crops should be planted in sequence with
close-growing cover crops that remain on the land
three-fourths of the time. Crop residue and cover crops
help to protect the soil from erosion. Seedbed
preparation should include bedding of the rows.
Fertilizer and lime should be added according to the
needs of the crop.
In places that are relatively free from freezing
temperatures,this soil is well suited to citrus, A water-
control system is needed to maintain the water table at
an effective depth, A close-growing plant cover should
be maintained between the trees to control soil blowing
in dry weather and water erosion during heavy rainfall.
Good yields of oranges and grapefruit generally can be
obtained without irrigation, but increased yields are
feasible where irrigation water is readily available.
Fertilizer and lime are needed.
This soil is well suited to pasture and hay crops.
Deep-rooted plants, such as coastal bermudagrass and
bahiagrass, grow well if fertilizer and lime are used.
Production is occasionally restricted by extended
drought. Grazing should be controlled to maintain plant
vigor and good ground cover,
Typically, the Oak Hammock range site includes
areas of this soil, The dominant vegetation is a dense

canopy of predominantly live oak trees. Because of the

South Florida slash pine, slash pine, hickory, magnolia,
laurel oak, and live oak. The understory includes
bluestem, indiangrass, hairy panicum, and annual forbs.
A moderate hazard of erosion affects cultivated
crops, and erosion-control measures are needed. These
measures include contour cultivation of row crops
planted in strips with cover crops. Crop rotations should
keep cover crops on the land at least half the time.
Cover crops and crop residue help to maintain organic
matter content and control erosion, Maximum yields
require good seedbed preparation, fertilizer, and lime.
This soil is droughty in dry periods, and yields are often
reduced by untimely droughts. Irrigation of some high
value crops is feasible if irrigation water is readily
available.
In places that are relatively free from freezing
temperatures, this soil is well suited to citrus. A good
ground cover of close-growing plants is needed
between the trees to control erosion. Fertilizer, lime,
and a well designed irrigation system are needed for
highest yields.
This soil is well suited to pasture and hay crops.
Clover, tall fescue, coastal bermudagrass, and
improved bahiagrass produce good yields if properly
managed. Fertilizer, lime, and controlled grazing help to
maintain vigorous plants for highest yields and good
ground cover.
Typically, the Upland Hardwood Hammock range site
includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation is a
dense canopy of oak, magnolia, and hickory. Because
of the dense canopy and relatively open understory,
cattle use this range site mainly for shade and resting
areas. Desirable forage includes indiangrass,
switchgrass, longleaf uniola, and chalky bluestem.
The potential productivity for pine trees is high. The
moderate equipment use limitation, seedling mortality,
and plant competition are concerns in management.
Slash pine and South Florida slash pine are the best
trees to plant.
This soil is well suited to most urban uses; however,
seepage is a severe limitation affecting sewage lagoons

Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Tavares, Satellite, and Zolfo soils. Tavares and Satellite
soils are similar to the Adamsville soil. Zolfo soils have
a dark subsoil. The included soils make up 15 to 20
percent of the map unit.
This Adamsville soil has a seasonal high water table
at a depth of 20 to 40 inches for 2 to 6 months during
most years. The available water capacity is low.
Permeability is rapid.
Most areas of this soil are in citrus. Some remain in
natural vegetation that is mostly slash pine, longleaf
pine, laurel oak, and water oak and an understory of
saw palmetto, pineland threeawn, Indiangrass,
bluestem, and panicums.
Periodic wetness and droughtiness are very severe
limitations affecting cultivated crops. The number of
suitable crops is very limited unless intensive water-
control measures are used. A water-control system
must remove excess water in wet periods and provide
irrigation in dry periods. If a water-control system is
used. this soil is well suited to many kinds of flowers
and vegetables. Soil-improving crops and crop residue
help to maintain organic matter content and protect the
soil from erosion.
Unless this soil is drained, it is not suited to citrus. If
a well designed drainage system is used, this soil is
moderately suited. Citrus trees should be' planted on
beds. A ground cover of close-growing plants should be
maintained between the trees to control soil blowing in
dry weather and water erosion during rainfall.
This soil is moderately well suited to pastures of

used, this site has the potential to produce significant
amounts of creeping bluestem, lopsided indiangrass,
chalky bluestem, and various panicums. If range
deterioration occurs, saw palmetto and plneland
threeawn are dominant.
The potential productivity for pine trees is moderately
high. The major management concerns, caused by
droughtiness, sandiness, and seasonal wetness, are the
equipment use limitation, seedling mortality, and plant
competition. Slash pine, South Florida slash pine, and
longleaf pine are the best trees to plant.
This soil has moderate or severe limitations affecting
most urban uses. The wetness and poor filtration are
severe limitations affecting septic tank absorption fields.
Seepage, the wetness, and the sandy texture are
severe limitations affecting sanitalY landfills. Landfill

control system is needed to maintain the high water
table at an effective depth. A ground cover of close.
growing plants should be maintained between the trees
to control soil blowing in dry weather and water erosion

grapefruit generally can be obtained without irrigation;
however, increased yields can be expected if irrigation
is used during drier periods. Fertilizer and lime are

This soil is well suited to pasture and hay crops.
Deep-rooted plants, such as coastal bermudagrass and
bahiagrass, grow well if fertilizer and lime are used.
Production is occasionally restricted by extended
drought. Grazing should be controlled to maintain plant
vigor and good ground cover.

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
A ward a three-year contract to Polydyne, Inc., of Riceboro, GA in the sum of $540,000.00, for Polymer Services (RFP 12-08)and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Polymer is used at the City's biosolids handling facilities to process the sludge generated by the City's three Advanced
Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The polymer is a coagulant that "thickens" wastewater sludge increasing the percentage of solids
in the waste stream. Thickening the sludge significantly reduces the amount of money required to haul and dispose of the waste
material. The hauling and disposing duties are handled under the scope of a separate contract.
The City advertised the Request for Proposal (RFP 12-08) and required that the potential suppliers perform trial runs with
their proposed products in a rotary drum thickener and on a belt press at the Northeast Advanced Pollution Control Facility. The
data collected from the field trials were analyzed in our Consolidated Laboratory to maintain a consistent means of performance
evaluation. The qualifications of the product supplier, the results of the field tests, and the price of the deliverable product
(polymer) were evaluated as the basis for the staff ranking.
WPC solicited bids for a two-year contract with the option to accept a one-year extension. The costs associated with this item
are for the three year period, representing the fixed costs with no approved extensions at this time.
The City received three (3) responses to the Request for Proposal (RFP 12-08). The staff ranking based on conditions stated
in the RFP are: 1 - Polydyne, Inc., 2 - Fort Bend Services, Inc., and 3 - CIBA Specialty Chemicals Corporation. The
submitted price for the product and reduction in hauling costs due to the higher percentage solids obtained (as per trial results)
combine to make Polydyne the most cost effective provider.
Sufficient budget is available in the Water & Sewer Utility Fund operating cost center 0421-01351, WPC Operations, to fund
$75,000 of the current year cost of this contract and is planned in the budget request to be brought forward for FY08/09 in the
amount of $180,000, FY 09/10 in the amount of $180,000 and $105,000 in FY 10/11.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Fund approximately 50% of the $7.5 million planned debt issuance for Beach Walk from General Fund
Reserves.
SUMMARY:
Part of the City's budget strategy this year includes the possibility of funding a portion of Beach Walk that
was originally planned to be funded with a 20-year bond issue with reserves from the General
Fund. Funding a portion of this debt from reserves would eliminate part of the annual debt service
payments from the General fund in the below approximate amounts:
Funded from Reserves
100%
75%
50%
25%
0%
Debt Reduction
$630,000
$475,000
$315,000
$155,000
Funding approximately 50% of the debt from reserves instead of issuing bonds this would eliminate the
$315,000 debt service payment each year from the General Fund. The debt payments were budgeted in
FY08. therefore, the elimination of this debt payment would help with balancing the deficit that results
from Amendment 1 and the overall downturn in the economy.
The General Fund reserves, which at first quarter had approximately $25.3 million in total general fund
reserves, or 20.5% of the current year's General Fund budget, has excess reserves of $14.8 million. The
Central Insurance Fund has approximately $24 million in excess reserves.
The municipal tax-exempt bond market is in a deep crisis, and insurance and surety costs are 3 times what
they are normally. For a 20-year bond issue, the all-inclusive cost would be around 5.15%. This isabout
1.00% higher than the rates were 4 months ago. Bank loans are much more cost-effective right now, with
an all-inclusive cost of approximately 4.50% for a 20-year bank loan. The cuts by the Federal Reserve
have not reduced municipal tax-exempt bond rates, as most people assume. The municipal tax-exempt
market crisis is due to the bond insurer's insurance of pools of sub-prime mortgages, which have caused
their downgrades and financial insolvency, and eroded the confidence of municipal tax-exempt investors.
At the same time, the earning rate on our cash pool (the City's investments) is at 4.5% and falling. Our
overnight rate is from 2.25% to 3% and our most recent investment purchases are yielding from 2.44% to
5% depending on the issuer, call ability, and the maturity.
These factors, particularly combined with the economic recession and Florida tax reform, highlight the
need for conservative fiscal management more than ever.
Originally, the City was going to fund Beach Walk and the Downtown Boat Slips in the same 20- year

bond issue. Since we are now moving forward with plans to fund the Boat Slip project, staff needs to
verify that the Council agrees with our proposed strategy for funding Beach Walk.
If this strategy is accepted, a mid-year budget amendment will reflect the above proposal.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Create Section 21.18, Code of Ordinances, to prohibit soliciting, begging, and panhandling in the Clearwater downtown core
redevelopment zone and the Clearwater Beach core tourist zone as defined in the ordinance and pass Ordinance 7928-08 on first
reading.
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater's 112,000 plus residents enjoy a vibrant economy resulting from a huge influx of 4.5 million annual
tourists to Pinellas County with Clearwater Beachalone attracting around 900,000 tourists annually in addition to the approximate
600,000 residents in the region who annually visit the beach.
The improvement of the downtown and Clearwater Beach has been a high priority in the City's plan to expand the economic base
of the City by attracting new investment and patrons to the area.
Clearwater Beach has an economic impact of over $1 billion and is projected to increase its impact as redevelopment on the beach
continues to occur and the downtown is also projected to attract additional tourists and visitors as redevelopment continues to be
completed. The City and private organizations have invested many millions of dollars in these redevelopment areas.
The City of Clearwater spends annually around $620,000 on special events, with $465,000 of that allocated to downtown events
and $135,000 allocated to Beach events.
The City of Clearwater has a substantial interest in providing its citizens and tourists a safe, aesthetic, pleasant environment in
which recreational activities can be maximized in the downtown and on Clearwater Beach.
The City of Clearwater has a substantial interest in ensuring the safety and convenience of the public by promoting the free flow of
traffic on public streets and sidewalks in the downtown and on Clearwater Beach.
Soliciting, begging, and panhandling in the Clearwater downtown core redevelopment zone and the Clearwater Beach core tourist
zone adversely impacts tourism and patronage of businesses by creating a sense of annoyance and intimidation among those
tourists, visitors, and citizens who are subjected to such activity.
Soliciting, begging, and panhandling in the Clearwater downtown core redevelopment zone and the Clearwater Beach core tourist
zone discourages tourism and retail and contributes to the lack of enjoyment of public places.

Street offer a pedestrian-friendly environment that attracts residential and
destination development, especially restaurant and retail activity. Infrastructure
improvements have included new utility work, landscaping, amenities and
medians with opportunity for public art. The project is a central element in the
City's downtown revitalization strategy.

Natural Gas Market Transparency
April, 2008
Back2:round: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the federal agency responsible
for monitoring the trading of commodities in order to protect market users and the public from fraud,
manipulation, and abusive practices related to the sale of commodity and financial futures contracts and
options. While the CFTC fully oversees trading on U.S. commodity exchanges, they currently receive
little information to monitor trading in the over-the-counter (OTC) natural gas derivatives market. This is
troubling because the OTC market is inextricably linked to the regulated futures market and directly
impacts the price discovery function of the market. This lack of oversight ability has eroded consumer
confidence in markets for certain commodities like natural gas. Restoring confidence in the natural gas
market's ability to set price requires a greater level of transparency to assure consumers that market prices
are a result of fundamental supply and demand forces and are not the result of manipulation or other
abusive market conduct.
The Issue: The CFTC is required by Congress to monitor the trading of natural gas contracts cleared
through the U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). By contrast the OTC markets, which
include centralized markets for trading natural gas contracts, are largely exempt from transparency. The
CFTC receives very limited information regarding the tens of thousands of trades that are transacted in
the OTC markets in natural gas contracts every day. Recently, the CFTC began receiving voluntarily
information submitted from one of the larger OTC markets the Intercontinental Commodity Exchange
(ICE).
Over the past several years the CFTC has assessed over $300 million in penalties for market abuses
associated with trading in the OTC markets. Certainly, this demonstrates that some individuals or
interests have taken, or attempted to take, advantage of the natural gas markets at the expense of
consumers. Therefore, it is important that the government be able to monitor large derivatives positions
on both the regulated exchange and the OTC markets to detect and prevent any squeezes or manipulation.
Without comprehensive large trader position reporting, the government is currently handicapped in its
ability to detect, much less to deter, market misconduct. Additional transparency will provide the CFTC
with the tools necessary to police its beat and this in turn will help limit opportunities for manipulations.
APGA Position: APGA believes that Congress should extend current monitoring practices by passing
legislation that would authorize the CFTC to collect information concerning all positions held by the
largest traders in the natural gas derivatives market; not just positions cleared through the NYMEX
Exchange or traded on the Intercontinental Commodity Exchange. The Farm Bill passed by the Senate in
December 2007 included language that would significantly increase natural gas market transparency.
Specifically, the legislation clarifies CFTC authority to enforce the regulations applicable to trading of
"significant price discovery contracts." This enforcement tool would enable the CFTC to see a greater
portion of the market and catch potential market abuses before they occur. The bill also increases
penalties for market violations. APGA supported the Senate-passed language and is continuing to work
to ensure that the final language passed by the Farm Bill Conference Committee contains the maximum
level of consumer protection.

Funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
April 2008
Back2round: The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LllIEAP) is a federal block
grant program that provides money to low-income individuals/families to help them heat and
cool their homes. The program receives an annual appropriation from Congress.
The Issue: LllIEAP funds are allocated by the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) and administered by the states. States are provided with flexibility to tailor programs
according to the needs of their low and fixed income residents. The formula used to allocate
funds under LllIEAP is based on two sets of regulations, the original regulations that came out
of the Home Energy Assistance Act of 1980 which created LllIEAP and subsequent
modifications/revisions to those regulations.
Over the last few years, funding for LllIEAP has ranged between $2.1 billion and $900 million
annually. In fiscal year 2006 LllIEAP received its highest level of funding - $3.2 billion, $2.5
billion in the base program and $700 million in emergency assistance. Emergency funds are
allocated at the President's discretion.
Currently, LllIEAP reaches only approximately 18% of the 30 million households that are
eligible for assistance. Since 1981, the number of households eligible for LllIEAP assistance
has grown, while the number of households served has declined. LllIEAP continues to playa
critical role in helping low-income families meet their energy needs. Without LllIEAP funding
assistance many low-income families face the difficult choice between paying their energy bills
or paying for other necessities, such as healthcare, food and childcare. The Energy Policy Act of
2005 included an increase to $5.1 billion in the funding authorization for LllIEAP.
APGA position: APGA has urged Congress to provide fully authorized funding ($5.1 billion)
for LllIEAP and has pushed for full funding in meetings and letters to Congress. In fiscal year
2008, Congress provided $1.98 billion in regular funding for LllIEAP which is an identical
amount to that provided in 2007. However, there was an increase in contingency funds, from
$181.2 million to $585.9 million. Contingency funds are only released upon a request from the
Administration.

Climate Change Legislation
April 2008
Back2:round: Legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions has been a focus in the 1l0lh
Congress. Given the inherent cleanliness of natural gas compared to most other fuels, it is logical to
assume that natural gas will playa critical role in climate change legislation. APGA is extremely
concerned about the increased demand for natural gas, as a result of climate change legislation, could
have on natural gas prices.
The Issue: On December 51\ 2007 the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee approved S.
2191, America's Climate Security Act of2007, introduced by Senators Lieberman (I-CT) and Warner (R-
VA). The bill's intent is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2012. By 2050, the
bill calls for a 70% reduction below 2005 levels. The bill would achieve this by placing an upstream cap
on emissions from the electricity sector; the transportation sector; the manufacturing and natural gas
industries.
The bill sets up a "cap and trade" program to achieve its emission reduction goals. Entities covered under
the cap and trade program receive allowances to create emissions, with the total amount of allowances
limited by the cap. Each entity can design its own compliance strategy to meet the overall reduction
requirement, including sale or purchase of allowances. Individual control requirements are not specified
under a cap and trade program, but each emissions source must surrender allowances equal to its actual
emissions in order to comply. Sources must also completely and accurately measure and report all
emissions in a timely manner to guarantee that the overall cap is achieved.
APGA is extremely concerned about the impact climate change legislation could have on the price of
natural gas as a result of fuel switching (moving from coal to natural gas generated electricity). Since
2000, American consumers have seen the wholesale price of natural gas more than triple. Additional
increases in the price of natural gas will have a devastating impact upon consumers and the economy as a
whole. APGA is also concerned about the potential regulatory burden a cap and trade program will place
on public gas systems.
APGA Positions:
1) Supply - APGA strongly believes that in order to protect consumers from the impacts of high
prices, to the extent that additional natural gas demand is created by greenhouse gas reduction
policy goals, there needs to be a policy goal that achieves an identical increase in the amount of
domestic supply. This includes opening certain areas of the United States currently under
moratoria for additional exploration.

2) Direct Use of Natural Gas - In addition, increased use of natural gas in homes and businesses
should be part of any climate change plan. Increasing the efficient use of natural gas in homes,
commercial and industrial businesses will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example,
using gas-fired water heaters for homes instead of electric resistance water heaters ultimately
reduces greenhouse gas emissions by one-half to two thirds. Legislation that provides appropriate
incentives such as tax credits for the use of such natural gas appliances makes good sense for both
reducing emissions and consuming less source energy.
3) Delay the Cap on Natural Gas Emissions - APGA supports delaying implementation of an
emissions cap on natural gas residential and commercial consumers until 2020. These consumers
will already be hit once by higher prices they will have to pay for natural gas from increased
demand. Delaying the cap will give consumers time to adjust to a second cost hit that they could
face from the regulatory burdens associated with a potential cap. By 2020, APGA is hopeful that
new technology will be available to minimize further fuel switching of natural gas for electricity
generation and at that time the Environmental Protection Agency can make a recommendation to
Congress as to whether the cap should be placed on these consumers.
4) Point of Regulation - Given that almost half of the approximately 1,000 public gas systems have
five employees or less, APGA is extremely concerned about the burden that will be placed on
these small systems if they become the point of regulation (the entity required to obtain and turn
in greenhouse gas permits). APGA has maintained that the point of regulation should be
upstream since this would reduce the number of sources that must be regulated as well as simplify
administration of the program.
5) Methane Hydrates - APGA also supports increased research into methane hydrates (natural gas
in a frozen state) as a potential means of meeting future supply needs. Methane hydrates have
tremendous potential to meet future supply needs but additional research, geological and
infrastructure investments will need to be made in order to bring this resource to market.

Increasing Natural Gas Supply
April 2008
Back2:round: Over the last eight years, the American consumer has seen the price of natural gas more
than triple. Such increases in the price of natural gas have cost consumers over $200 billion more than
they paid from 1993-2000. These are dollars that normally would have gone into local businesses,
community infrastructure and the disposable personal income used for saving and investing in a child's
education. Now these dollars are being pulled out of the communities served by public gas systems. This
price increase is primarily due to rising demand and lack of access to supply for natural gas. Increasing
domestic supply is a fundamental component of the solution to bring prices back to a long-term affordable
level.
The Issue: Limits on development (through Congressional and administrative moratoria) prevent
exploration and production in most of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and the entire Atlantic and Pacific
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). That means almost 90% of the OCS acreage off the lower 48 states is
"off limits" to energy development. The fact that federal policies limit supply is ironic since it is also
federal policies that favor natural gas use because of its clean-burning properties.
Around the world, virtually every other country with oil and gas resources is promoting investment in and
developing their offshore resources. If the US continues to reject opportunities to develop our domestic
offshore energy resources, American consumers and businesses will suffer the consequences in terms of
slower economic growth, higher energy prices, reduced competitiveness vis-a.-vis overseas manufacturers
and continued job losses.
In 2006, Congress passed and the President signed into law the The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act.
This legislation was a positive first step to increasing domestic supply, but much more work needs to be
done. The bill directs the Department of the Interior to begin oil and gas leasing in designated parts of
Lease Sale 181 (which is located in the eastern Gulf of Mexico) and in areas south of Lease 181 as soon
as practicable. It also places a l6-year moratorium on oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico within
125 miles of the Florida coast and excludes certain parts of 181 and areas south that are either used for
military training activity or are near the Florida coast. The Act also provides an increased share of
revenues from offshore leases to "Gulf producing States" which are Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and
Alabama.
APGA Position: Going back to 2005 when APGA testified before the Senate Energy and Natural
Resources Committee, APGA has actively worked with Congress on legislation that would allow natural
gas production from areas that are currently off-limits to exploration. Efforts to increase natural gas
supply become even more critical given that Congress is anticipated to pass climate change legislation in
the near future and this legislation is projected to significantly increase natural gas demand. It is APGA's
position that to the extent additional natural gas demand is created by climate change policy goals, there
needs to be a policy goal that achieves an identical increase in the amount of natural gas supply.
Legislation has been introduced in the House (H.R. 5851) and the Senate (S. 2879) that would restrict
production in the Roan Plateau area in Colorado which is projected to hold 9 Tcf of natural gas. APGA
has opposed this legislation
