OLD FLORIDA DISTRICT STUDY #1 Clayton. Gina 1~i:-~~~ . D'{ tllCiJ c;;fcdilfVl1t' From: Sent: To: Subject: Wlelecki, Karl Monday, May 02,20054'11 PM Clayton, Gina Graham/3rd OF mtg Gina, I met with J, Graham and we discussed ideas for the next meeting. I'm putting in your inbox a set of his 5 options for the maps. He wants us to select the three that he'll then reproduce in large format for presentation and voting, These maps represent the ideas that the public suggested and voted on at the last meeting. I'd say that he should go with: #1- this plan raises heights uniformly throughout OF, incl. those lots along sJ, Somerset. it should be popular with the strongest advocates of pulling back development restrictions #2- this somewhat approximates the Group 1 plan that received so many votes #5?- also shows lower heights along N side of Somerset, which seems to be a popular feature He further asked about the possibilty of introducing graphics and discussion concerning the tying of allowed heights to the provision of setbacks. This graphic (I'm giving you a copy) illustrates the possible development potential of various sizes of parcels, and shows how providing greater setbacks'can allow you more height (after changes to the current code), thus keeping the same density as small setbacks and short buildings, This would also show how you can go from an unattractive, squat building that obscures views and creates 'canyons' to the same density in a building with stepbacks, making for more visual appeal and openness. We also talked about the idea of limiting unit size, as is done in other codes he's familiar with. I did not think that we intended to present these concepts of mass at the next meeting, but rather develop these more finely based on the voting next meeting. I think though that it may be important to show people what they'd be looking at If they chose to allow great heights along the harbor-- buildings that resemble Brightwater, etc etc. Though I'd be concerned that having too many graphics, or anything other than the 3 maps that we discussed, would confuse the public. I suggested to him that we want to somehow have these massing options/cause and effect of codes In mind for the 4th meeting maps so we can wind up with some meaningful and realistic options as we move towards the report stage. So, he'd like some more direction from us, to help him prepare for our meeting this Friday. Do you agree with my choice of maps, and what is your opinion of his idea to work some graphics showing the interplay of setbacks, heights, and building shapes?

Old Florida District 3rd Public Planning Meeting- Plans Prepared by Graham Design Uses Plans #2*- 41 dots (73% of "uses" dots) #1- 15 (27%) #3- 0 (0%) TOT AL- 56 Heights Plans #1 **- 26 dots (46% of "heights" dots) #2- 22 (39%) #3- 8 (14%) TOT AL- 56 *Uses PIan #2 Multi-famlly and overnight accommodations everywhere except along Mandalay Residential over commercial along Mandalay Public spaces as existing Parking garage south of Royal Way between Mandalay and Poinsettia **Heights PIan #1 50' along beach and lots along north side of Somerset 75' everywhere else Meetin!! Attendees' Comments Uses PIan #1 . From Royal to Bay Esplanade between Mandalay and Poinsettia Ave should bejoined with City and Verzzon land to fulfill parking needs. . Green land from Rec Center to Gulf should remain as is but improved. . We need nice condos and motels to upgrade area and draw a high grade of people. . Doesn't allow overnight accommodations along beach which 1 feel is [a negative} of current zoning. . (A negative): overnight accommodations in backyards ofsingle-family residences. . (A positive): garage, but needs to be behind businesses on Mandalay. . Do not like garage near city park. . Parking should not be on sand view. Autos do not need vzews. . Make sure we have water, sewer, and electric. . When bridge opens the roundabout has to be changed. . We need affordable accommodations. . Will there be underground power lines? . 1 cannot believe anyone has a choice ifwe cannot provzde roads, plumbing, evacuatzon, etc., 1 would prefer a choice or choices made after we look at the jlooding problem. . Maybe we cannot have any more high residences? . It would be nice if the City could/would enforce "illegal" rentals-too much transience, and in large groups. . Someone should go on the internet to sites like www.myjloridavacation.com (and others like zt) and see all the illegal rentals advertised (i.e., 1 night where zoning is 1 month, etc.) What good is zoning, ifno enforcement? . Uses Plan #2 1 · It would be nice to get rid of old and rundown motels and replace them, New condos and motels look better. . Please don't pave Mandalay Park for a parking garage, put It between the Rec Center and tennzs courts. . Parkmg garage at Rockaway. . We need nice condos and motels on bayslde to update the area and draw nice people. . Maximize the parking space between swimming pool and Rec Center. . Do not expand Frenchy 's and Palm Pavilion parking lot at taxpayer expense. . (A positive): agree with multi-family but Ifeel we should accommodate a larger development (hotel) along beach if opportunity presents Itself . (A negative): There should not be overnight accommodations in backyards ofsmgle-family residences. . (A positive): Lower denslty= less strain on infrastructure (I.e., traffic congestion). . The old hotels are horrible and need to be mixed with condos and big motels on gulf side, . The old hotels are an eye-sore and need to be replaced with new condos to increase curb appeal in this area. . I agree With both of the above comments. . Fire station area-make park closest to beach area, and parking garage on Mandalay side along with firehouse. Uses Plan #3 . Make developers responsible waterfront builders by building some transient dockage for visitors of reSidents or public, if feasible. . Have requirements for new businesses or restaurants to provide dockage for patrons. . Developers can work with City to create a much more boat-frzendly community. This adds a lot of value to the area and creates a much broader range of public usage of the waterways. . Get rid of old run-down motels and replace them with new up to date bUildings (condos and motels). . (A negative): overnight accommodations in backyards of single-family residences. . "All hotels on gulf side" is a real bad idea-that is already a crappy area to be in because of the rundown motels. No pride in ownership, . We need nice condos and motels on bay side to up-grade area, Heights PIan #1 . No choice for current zoning provided! . Make whole district 75 '. It is an appropriate transition from 150'. . Lets get rid of the old rundown motels and replace them with new condos and motels. . Stay with what we have now. . Height definitions in first two meetings misleading. For future meetings, please be complete With definztions. FEMA plus elevator, etc. 28 feet. . Many areas m Florida-Punta Gorda, St. Augustine Beach, Dunedin-have height restrictions of 35-50 feet... Clearwater should adopt the same for thiS transitional 40 acres. . Next meeting-please discuss the merge of Beach By Design, current zoning, future zoning. Share some time lines for arriving at declsions/code that will be enforced. . Heights should be kept to minimum. Lets keep the breeze. . No setba,ck variances to allow more structures and heights. . Too much height bayside. Not enough for resort-type accommodations beachside. Tunnel effect along \ Mandalay. . . Add City parkzng in the retail area to ease parkzng burdens. \. . Agree wlth the needfor C1ty parkingfor retad. Suggest 1t be behznd businesses on east slde of Mandalay. . We need nice condos and motels on gulf side the upgrade the area. . Need 35' buffer height along Acacia, As shown, there are only two heights-50' and 75'. . Need the height on gulf slde to better the area. Nobody will buy and make better area at present prices unless incentive is there. Need at least 60 feet to do anything good for area. . Don't have beachside 75' (which becomes realistically closer to 100') or the island will be "walled in " on the gulf side-our biggest asset. . Heights should include all additions and FEMA rules. 75' should be 75', not 100', Heights Plan #2 . Infrastructure (sewer, drainage, electric1ty, parking, street access, egress and ingress) . The lesser of 3 evils. Need more transltzon of height north-especially jut north of Rec Center-to encourage development, and south side of Somerset to ramp up from residential area. I can live with/support height of 60' along beach if setbacks from Mandalay approximately 30 '-properties would need to be consolidated. I like current look of propert1es between Glendale and Heilwood, where grass and hedge are along Mandalay (4 stories over parking), This gets rzd of the tunnel effect. . I think the lieights are too high! The heights presented should be from ground level, not the FEMA 6-8' start point, . No more condos! . Property between Royal and Bay Esplanade and Mandalay and Poinsettia should be joined w1th City and Verizon land for a parking garage, multi-use with a height allowance necessary to allow it to happen, leaving the municipal boulevard between the gulf and the Rec Center as is but even improved as 1S. . Get rid of the old motels and riffraff; get new motels and condos. Make it nicer. . Most people at meeting could not decide between options 1 and 2 because the height on gulf side is too low, but this option is a problem, . This is the best of all bad plans because the height on all is too great for a transitional area. Streets will become tunnels and building walls between publ!c spaces and beaches and water. . Very bad rundown motels have incentive to stay rundown and unkempt while higher. Impossible ifgulfis not at least 60 feet. . 2-story limit on any budding on the gulfside is absurd. There are plenty of properties owned by prestigious companies with lots of money who have built massive condos. The abilzty to build taller bU1ldings would only draw more of a class of people to the beach which would overall enhance property values and the overall society that is needed on Clearwater beach. . Building height should be total including FEMA, etc. . There should be a step-down in height towards Mandalay to avoid a canyon effect. . Why have Beach By Design if you don't let it get used. . There should not be a height limit. That is what Beach By Design is for. Heights Plan #3 . Lowest heights should start at Cambria Street, using that as a line of demarcation across the island. Use [35'} on all 3 maps. . To encourage more hotel development, I would like to see the height raised to 135 '. . Ditto. . South side of Somerset should be no more than 50 '. Plan does not transltion north to south. . I would like to see height raised and we need nice condos and motels on bay side to upgrade area. o (.)
