PRELEMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT - APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS
Nick Lewis - commented that the fire hydrant spacing is 600 feet in single family
home developments and may be placed where needed as long as they meet the
requirement. He also stated off sUe hydrants may be used as long as there is
complete accessibility and the 600 foot distance is the run of the hose.
~
~
Bob Maran - commented that: 1) The street named Willow Tree Drive cannot be used
as there is a City street named Willow Tree Trail and it would cause confusion.
Feather Tree Circle would be acceptable. 2) The named Harding Street would remain
adjacent to Lot 38. 3) The detention' ponds are to be located in a drainage and
utility easement and any reference to maintenance on the Lot ia to be removed. 4) A
15 foot drainage and utility easement should be required between Lots 6 & 7. 5) Lot
13 is to be a buildable Lot to the setback lines and not encroach into the D.E.R.
jurisdiction line. If this area is to be mitigated it is to be done by the developer
and not by the future Lot owner. Mr. Walker stated it may be necessary to build a
special design house. Mr. Sofarelli was advised the setback would be from the side
property line not the D.E.R. line. 6) The front setback line is to be placed on all
lots. 7) Prior to certification of the preliminary plat the wetland boundary line
is to be field staked and approved by the City of Clearwater Environmental
Management Division of the Public Works Department.
Andy Ooufer - commented that the area is a marshy and area there is concern about
the soil's bearing capacity and it's abillty to support structures built and for
this reason a copy of soils report with engineer's recommendations for foundation
design will be required. He stated the lots most questionable are the lots in the
natural area. Mr. Sofare!li advised that a comprehensive soil analysis has been done
and soil borings were taken from the entire property and any questionable area will
be demucked and upgraded.
Don'Meerians - commented that developer would be responsible for the sidewalks on
Airport Drive and any other rights-of-way adjacent to property. Mr. Sofarelli stated
the county is planning in the future to extend Keene Road.
<<I
Bob Perkins - commented that a 10 foot easement between lots 32 and 33 be shown on
the plat and the drainage and maintenance easements be changed to include utilities
prior to certification. Hr. . Perkins added that there are 110 hydrants shown and

depending on the hydrant location it may be necessary to upgrade the water maino.
Mr. Sofarelll stated developer hao not yet met with Fire Marshal. Mr. Perkins stated
the plat already shows the ~ater lines as being looped.
Paula Harvey - commented that 1) the AL/I (Aquatic Lands/Interior) area must be
staked and if any lots along that line are not buildable, the plat must be returned
to DRe for further review. as it may be necessa ry for several variances to be
processed in order to allow building on these lots. She otated staff position would
be to not recommend approval of such variances. 2) Developer will be required to put
landscape buffet along AirpQrt Drive and Keene Road to insure there 1s no private
access to individual lots and it must be stated on plat that there will be no access
from Airport Drive or Keene Road. Ms. Harvey' advised that a privacy fence will not
be objectionable but landscaping will also be required in order that there be no
private driveways on to Airport Drive. She suggested developer meet with
Environmental for specific requirements on landscaping 3) The City Co~mission wants
the property now zoned RM-12 to be rezoned to RS-8 and there must be . ,a application
filed for such a change prior to certification of the preliminary r.1,at. She stated
there will be no charge for the rezoning. Mr. Sofarelli stated one lot MUst remain
RM-12 as it will be deeded out to the County and RS-8 zoning will bring down the
value of the property. Discussion followed regarding the zoning of the property. Ms.
Harvey stated that the rezoning io not subject to negotiation as the City Commission
has made the requirement. She advised if this requirement does not meet with
developer plana it will be necessary for developer to go before the City Commission
to have that condition eliminated. She also advised that the rezoning is done from
the center line of all adjacent rights-of-way and. though not included on legal
description. the City will not show half of the right-of-way of Keene Road as being
zoning RM-12 and the adjacent lots RS-B. She stated that one other condition is
necessary, that being 4) that an application for rezoning of the fresh natural area
to AL/I (Aquatic Lands/Interior) must be received prior to certification of the
preliminary plat. 5) The City Commission has requested that an avigation easement
must be executed to the City of Clearwater and language must be provided in the
individual lot deedo recognizing the proximity of the Clearwater Executive Airpark
to the property and its lawful operation by the City of Clearwater. She stated this
condition is intended becauoe of the frequent complaints from residento in the area
that the airport is there. Ms. Harvey stated this condition is necp,ssary so the
Commission may make sure future residents have knowledge of the airport at the time
they purchase property. Mr. Sofarel!i felt such a condition io detrimental to the
selling of the subdivision. Ms. Harvey stated she cannot negotiate thio condition
and if there is a problem with this condition the developer must take it back to the
City Commission. Mr. Sofarelli stated he cannot afford more delays waiting to go
back to the City Commission but objected to the condition regarding the avigation
easement being placed on the preliminary plat.
Ream Wilson - commented that the developer will be required to satisfy the City's
open apace. recreation facility land and recreation facility assessment ordinances.
He stated that there !nUot be included with the worksheet a copy of the just value
from the County Property Appraisar's Office and the moot recent purchase contract.
He also stated that the land area does not include the aquatic lands, the righto-of-
way and interior streets. ,.

Jeffords Street and another hydrant located on the corner of Lotus Path and Ft.
Harrison. Mr. Lewis stated the Fire Department's entrance is located on Jeffords
Street and as long as a fire hydrant is no more than 300 feet distant from any
portion of the property another will not be needed. Mr. Lewis felt another hydrant
at the east entrance would be preferable. Discussion followed concerning the
feasibility of cre~ting access to site from Lotus Path.
Bob Maran - commented that developer shall be required to upgrade Lotus Path to a
secondary roadway for the portion of road adjacent to the site by constructing 13
feet of 20 feet of pavement and base to City standards. Mr. Klein stated this
condition had been agreed to before. Discussion followed concerning ownership of Lot
11.
Andy Onufer - No comment the standard Building information sheet concerning
permits was given to developer.
Don Meerians - commented that developer is responsible for sidewalks adjacent to any
rights-of-way including Lotus Path. Mr. Rubaii stated 12 parking spaces were shown
on previous approved site plan when there are actually 13 spaces.
Bob Perkins - commented that the dumpster location cannot be approved as shown on
the plan but a location must be provided to allow adequate access by sanitation
trucks without an excessive backing distance.
@
o
Paula Harvey - commented that 1) developer needs to identify in project data what
parking formula is used to calculate existing parking; 2) because this is set up in
the form of condominiums. developer needs to provide cross parking easements between
different phases to give assurance that all properties have access to required
parking; 3) project data needs to be revised to show all three phases of project on
the subject plan; and 4) at such time as Phase 2 is developed, it will be necessary
to submit a revised site plan. Mr. Rubaii stated the parking and the project data
has been addressed.
Ream Wilson - commented that the open space recreation assessment fees are based on
total footage of entire site. Discussion followed concerning the existing square
footage and proposed square footage. It was determined the total existing square
footage is 8.770 square feet and the proposed additional square footage is 4.243
square feet. Mr. Wilson advised, since the proposed building is less than 50% of
what Is on site currently there, the developer is exempt from open space fees,
