Mr. Ken Cheezem
Vice President
Cheezem Land Corporation
7820 38th Avenue North
St. Petersburg, Florida -33710
Dear Mr. Cheezem:
b
/
I have received and reviewed your preliminary site plan for proposed construction
of a 240-unit apartment complex on the southern parcel as defined in our settle-
ment stipulation dated March 27, 1984.
It appears that Cheezem Development has determined it will use Exhibit F as the
plan for developing the property. Accordingly, review was accomplished with
tlia t exhiliit.
Certain assumptions had to be made in order to effect a proper review. Those
assumptions were:
:
1. The developer will adhere to all building safety and fire codes in
effect at the time the building permit is issued.
2. Potable water system must be designed with separate taps for fire
lines and service lines. Backflow prevention devices must be instal-
1ed for ooth lines.
3. Although your plan does not indicate that you intend to use natural
gas, I feel it is important to bring the availability of this service
to your attention as it is an energy-saving, inexpensive source of
fue 1.
4. It appears that you intend to use roll-out dumpsters for sanitation
collection. If this is not correct, please contact Utility Engineer
Claude Howell at 462-6790.
S. All improvements west of the coastal construction control line must
be approved by the Florida Department of Natural Resources.

,
6. I am unable to determine how you propose to handle on-site drainage.
Please contact the City's Public Works Department at 462-6625 and
outline your intentions to Drainage Engineer John Rooks.
On pages six and seven of the settlement 3tipulation, paragraph 11(B) states
that Parks and Recreation impact fees, as required by Ordinance Nos. 3128-83
and 3129-83, will be paid per unit when a certificate of occupancy is issued.
The nature of high-rise construction necessitates that a total floor receive
a certificate of occupancy not the individual units. I trust you concur in
this interpretation of the stipulation. The dollars must be paid to the Parks
and Recreation Department prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy.
From the information available on the plan there appears to be serious inade-
quacy regarding the parking layout. I have discussed the matter with Traffic
Engineer Keith Crawford and he informs me that in 1950, the recommended minimum
space per car including aisles was 282 square feet; in 1965, it was 286 square
feet; the dimensions used by the City of Clearwater today require 279 square
feet. You can see that in none of these figures does the square footage com-
pare to the 261 provided on the plan.
To be more specific regarding parking, the following information is provided:
1. Single-loaded aisles for 900 provide 40 feet instead of 43 feet total
dimension for stall plus aisle.
2. Double-loaded aisles for 900 provide 58 feet instead of 62 feet.
.

3. Space 37 in the south lot and space 40 in the north lot have only
32 feet instead of 43 feet. ~ ' '- ,

. -,
4.
Spaces 1 and 22 in the south lot and spaces 1 and 22 in the north
lot have to park from a IS-foot aisle instead of a 24-foot aisle.
5. Spaces 27 and 28 in the south parking deck have only.36 feet from
the circle instead of 43 feet.
o. The severe offset in the aisles (approximately 18 feet in 18 feet)
is not acceptable.
7 _ The location of the guard house is too close to the road. Mter the
first car, cars waiting to enter will be on public right-of-way. When
Gulf Boulevard is widened, cars waiting to enter will extend onto the
road at times.
In light of the ahove, I am unable to state that your plan is in substantial
compliance with the settlement stipulation, however, it is consistent with the
settlement regarding zoning and the manner and scope of development.

SPECIAL CITY COHKISSIOH MEETING
Planning (2)
March 26, 1984
The City Comm1SS10n of the C1ty of Clearwater met 1n spec1al session
at the City Hall, Monday, March 26, 1984, at 2:12 p.m w1th the follow1ng
members present:
Kathleen F. Kelly

C1ty Manager
City Attorney
Ch1ef Asst. C1ty Attorney
Spec1al Attorney for City
Ass1stant C1ty Clerk
The Mayor called the meet1ng to order. The purpose of the meet1ng was
to cons1der and approve the settlement agreement w1th Cheezem Land
Corporat1on and Cheezem Investment Program I, Ltd., regard1ng the1r
development r1ghts on the property on Sand Key, which lS presently the
subject of lit1gat1on.
Bill Friedlander, attorney for Cheezem Land Corporat1on, rev1ewed
the h1story of the case. They purchased the property from U.S. Steel
Corporation in July 1983 w1th the understanding the development r1ghts
provided by the courts went to successor-owners. He sa1d that all
development proposals subm1tted to the City had been rejected and
litlgatlon began ln December, 1983. The agreement that has been reached
proposes a denslty tney feel is much less than what they are permltted.
They have also agreed to pay 1mpact fees which have been estab11shed by
ordinances Slnce the property was annexed. These fees~ ln the amount of
$900,000, are to be made as the certificates of occupancy are lssued and
are to be spent for projects on Sand Key.
The Clty Manager reported that due to the loss of lltigatlon wlth
U.S. Steel, the Judge had let stand the 60-unit-per-acre zoning that had
prevlously been on the property. He stated the proposed development wlll
have an overall dens1ty of 32 units per acre with a dens1ty transfer
occurring from the north to the south tract. In the stlpulatlon, Cheezem
Land Corporatlon is recognlz1ng the lmpact fee to the advantage of the
City.
Charles Selman, representing the Clty, stated that the developments
exist1ng ln the area have a denslty averaglng from 28 to 44 unlts-per-acre
and he feels that the agreement we have reached lS probably the best we
could do 1f we proceeded w1tn the litigat1on. He summar1zed the agreement
p01nt-by-point.
Spec1al Meet1ng
424.
March 26, 1984
Three c1t1zens spoke regard1ng concerns of ma1nta1n1ng open space,
outgrowing ut1lities and other serv1ces, such as pol1ce protect1on, and
also the problems with evacuat10n in the case of an emergency. One c1t1zen
spoke oppos1ng the 20-year tlme span for complet1on of the proJect, stating
the beach is very changeable.
Mr. Fr1edlander spoke regarding the 20-year t1me span stat1ng they
do not know when they w1ll beg1n construct1on on the north s1te and they
want the flexib1lity to change w1th the market.
Charles S1eman reported programs are 1n place to prov1de adequate
ut1hties.
DiscusS10n ensued regarding alternat1ves and g01ng to court to try
and bring the project 1nto compl1ance w1th the county land use plan of
30 un1ts per acre.
The City ~nager reported that 1f we go to court probably the best
we could obtain is what 1S be1ng proposed 1n the agreement.
In answer to a quest1on, Mr. Frledlander reported that, 1n add1t1on
to the $900,000 1mpact fee, there wlll be approx1mately $1,000 per un1t
1n other types of fees to the city.
Comm1SSloner Garvey questioned whether or not there would be road
money and a landscape buffer. She requested a report on f1re safety of
the build1ng and response time of the fire department.
In response to a question, the C1ty Manager 1ndicated that the
$900,000 can be used for other uses than park land as long as 1t 1S spent
for projects on Sand Key.
Further discuSSlon ensued regard1ng trying to or1ng the project down
to 30 units per acre. Mr. Frledlander stated it 1S not econom1cally
feas1ble for Cneezem Land Corporatlon to lower the denslty any further.
Mr. Cheezem spoke stat1ng they have already spent t1me, effort and money
1n compromis1ng to reach th1S agreement.
CommiSS1oner Calderbank moved to accept the settlement agreement w1th
Cheezem Land Corporat1on and Cheezem Investment Program I, Ltd., and that
the approprlate officlals be authorlzed to execute same. Motion was
duly seconded and carried unanlmously.
ITEM - Agreement with Plnellas County Sher1ff's Off1ce.
This agreement w1ll authorize C1ty law enforcement off1cers to perform
various act1vltles outs1de the legal boundarles of the city and w1ll allow
apPo1ntment by the Snerlff of certain C1ty law enforcement offlcers as
deputy sherlffs wlth approprlate powers and respons1bll1t1es under the
laws of Florida. The city will be respons1ble for malnta1ning adequate
self-1nsurance coverage on such personnel recelvlng comm1ssions as spec1al

Dear Mr. Thompson:
This is in response to your inquiries regarding the processing of
building permits for U. S. Steel property on Sand Key.
It is di fficul t to respond to your general, hypothetical
question. I do not believe the City is required to advise you of
your rights, nor to respond to inquiries which do not relate to
specific development plans on particular tracts.
I believe that the City's position is outlined in my letter of
Au g u s t 24, 1 983 .
The City wil 1 respond speci fically to any appl ication for a
building permit your client chooses to file. As of yet, I know
of no formal appl ication, and I know of no plans or design
d raw i n 9 s w h i c h h a v e bee n form all y sub m i t t e d for the C i t Y · s

Dear Bill:
I am respondi ng to your 1 etter of November 21, 1983 concerni ng a
proposed agreement between the Cheezem Investment Program I, Ltd.
(" CIPIL") and the City of Cl earwater hand-del ivered to my home on
the evening of the 21 st.
Condition a. of your counterproposal indicated that it was
ten d ere d bas e d u p 0 n C i t Y s t a f f r e com men d a t ion 0 f s u c hag r e em en t
to the City Commission not later than November 30,1983, and
condition b. of the agreement required City Commission approval
o f s u c hag r e em en t not 1 ate r t h anD e c em b e r 1 6, 1 98 3 . Sin c e you
advised me at approximately Noon on November 22 that a lawsuit
was b e i n g file d t hat day by C h e e z em a g a ins t the C i t Y i n con t r a -
diction to and without any consideration for the timetable set
out in your 1 etter of the 21 st, I can only concl ude that the
counteroffer for settlement was frivolous and not tendered in
good faith.
You acknowl edge in the second paragraph of your 1 etter that
con sid era b 1 e t i mea n d e f for t was ex pen d e d by bot h C h e e z em and the
City during the period of mid-June through mid-November to reach
an acceptable understanding on what was permitted and could be
mutually agreed to as concerns the development of your properties
on Sand Key. It is both disheartening and alarming, therefore,
to find that part of the suit that has been filed inaccurately
and falsely charges that the City has delayed Cheezem in the
development of their property during this period of time in
which both parties were negotiating in what we thought to be a
good faith effort to resolve legitimate differences.
.,~
~1r. William A. Friedlander
N 0 v em b e r 30, 1 98 3

I believe the City's good faith effort throughout this matter is
further evidenced by your request for a permit for a temporary
sal es facil ity on the southern parcel at Sand Key which we agreed
to issue, even after the lawsuit was filed, based on your letter
ass u r i n 9 u s t hat the i s sua n ceo f s u c h perm i tis wit h 0 u t pre j u d ice
and will not be an issue in the litigation.
Given the fact that Cheezem Land Corporation has chosen to put
forth an offer of settl ement on the one hand, whil e fil i ng suit
on the other, and the City's need to concentrate in response to
the lawsuit, we see no purpose to be served by giving further
consideration at thi s juncture to your counterproposal for
settl ement.

Uear Ken:
I am writing in response to your letter of November 1 and your
follow-up request to our ~eetlng of Wednesday, November 9, wlth
respect to a prelimlnary deslgn for the "Sand Key V Slte" (north
of Landmark Towers I). As I indicated to you verbally, the Clty
would not accept for processing a preliminary site plan for thlS
north slte based on the sketch plan WhlCh accompanled your
November 1 letter for the following reasons:
1. No proof of ownership has been supplled wlth respect to
that beachfront area that has accreted over the years,
resulting in a land drea considerably more than our
records lndlcate previously existed, which you now
represent as fifteen (15) acres;
2. No appllcatlon or justiflcatlon has been establlshed
regardlng the divislon of the parcel into two smaller
parcels for the purpose of establlshlng more
advantageous building setback and building height
llmltatlons for the subject slte;
3. The plan makes no provislon for recognlzing the net
density calculation necessary to arrive at the permitted
number of units, even assuming proof of ownership of the
accreted lands can be established; and

4. The project, as dep1cted, 1S in v101at10n of both the
requ1red bU11ding setback from the Coastal Construct1on
Control Line and the prohibition aga1nst deck area
extend1ng forward of such Coastal Construction Control
L1ne.
Wh11e the form and content of the sketch plan do not allow for me
to make a more thorough eva1uat1on that might well lndlcate
other lnconsistenc1es wlth the C1ty'S zoning ordinance, I
be11eve the above cursory reV1ew p01nts out the major issues that
remain to be resolved prior to the C1ty processing a preliminary
slte plan for this site.
We rema1n hopeful that our many meet1ngs attempting to
estab11sh a Qutua11y acceptable development plan for all of your
propert1es on Sand Key will yet be successful, and I pledge
whatever t1me and cooperat10n 1t takes on the part of the C1ty to
work w1th you toward that end.

I am attaching for your 1nformation correspondence between the

and the City of Clearwater perta1ning to proposed develop~ent on
Sand Key.
In brief, U. S. S. Realty Develop~ent and Cheezem Development
Corporation own properties on which they propose massive
lncreases from the already too intensive development pattern on
Sand Key under r1ghts they claim in the Circult Court declsion
rendered by Judge Driver in 1977. The Clty 15 evaluatlng all of
its potential courses of action, including that reference in City
Manager Shoemaker's letter of August 24 to U. S. Steel concerning
the potential applicability of Chapter 380.06 FS; that is,
developments of regional 1mpact. Tony asked that you be apprised
of these preliminary communlcations in order that you might be
aware of same in responding to any inquiry made of the Council
from the developers or the State Department of Community Affairs.
If you are contacted concerning this matter, the City would
appreciate being involved in any follow-up discussion with either
the Cheezem or U. S. Steel interests.

Dear Mr. Hegner:
On behalf of the City of Clea~ater~ I .have, ~ith the assistance of my
professional staff, reviewed t~~_mat~~~~s submitted to the City 4n regard
to U. S. Steel Sand Key Propert~es under cover of your July 8, 1983, letter and
Dennis Thompson's follow-up le~;~~.of AuEUs~ 18, 1983. Please accept this
letter as official notice that the~City of .Glearwater does not agree wtth
your expectation that the deve.1,opent cont,.emplated in the plans "fall within
the parameters of (the) ~oning.~equ~r~nt8 .~~ablished by Circuit Civil No.
78-4765-7." The proposed develoP.tllent ,involve,S a significant departure from
the character and magnitude of .nqm1na~_development on the island and repre-
sents a drastic cba~~~ in condi~io~s.f~ .~h~ island. Moreover, the scope and
scale of the development new p~o~~ed. ra~ses serious questions in regard to
the City's responsibilities and. "p'ow~r ~o 1ss\.!e. bl.!ilding permits under the provi- '
sione of section 380.06 of the.~.1,o~id~ ~tatutes.
The City is ready to discus. it~~o~itiqn w~~h3OU and your representatives
and sincerely hopes that an un~e~s~~~d~~ may be reached as to the force and
effect of Judge Driver's order _~~,.~o~tr~lling law. However. I feel obligated
to advise you that the signifi~a.nt. c;~~ge..in conditions on Sand Key which is
proposed by persons claiming rig~~~.unde~ ~he,court order raises serious ques-
tions as to the continuing effe~t ~f .the .d~cision. The City does not believe
that the intended parameters a~~_effectpf the order contemplated development
which far exceeds the characte~.~dd magnitude of development at issue in
U.S. Steel v. the City of Clearwater~. _ ._ .
Let me reiterate the City'. de~~~e.~o.~~k with your co~any in this matter.
and I hope you will avail yourse~f .of .~ ~nvitation to meet 8ftd discuss this

Dear Tony:
Recently, Frank Hegner and I met Wl.th Dave Healey and you
to provl.de l.nformatl.on concernl.ng U.S. Steel's further plans on Sand
Key. Thl.s meetl.ng was preceded by Frank Hegner's letter of July 8~
1983 whl.ch provl.ded l.nformational copl.es of Sl.te plans. At the con-
clusl.on of the meetl.ng you l.ndl.cated, as I recall, that, upon further
reflectl.on on the plans and consultatl.on Wl.th the Cl.ty Attorney, you
would respond to us wl.th the Cl.ty's reactl.on to the Sl.te plans. The
response, I bell.eve, was to be l.n the context of Mr. Healey's com-
ments to the Cl.ty Comml.ssl.on on June 16, 1983 as rel.terated in your
letter to me of June 27, 1983.
Whl.le we understand that we cannot require the City to respond
formally to ~J. Hegner's letter and our meetl.ng, we feel that l.t l.S
benefl.cl.al to all partl.es l.f each l.S fully aware of the other's l.nten-

We look forward to your response.

Re: U. S. Steel Sand Key Properties
Dear Mr. Shoemaker:
Enclosed is a tract map identifying our undeveloped Sand Key propert1es
together with informat1onal copies of site plans illustrating how we
intend to develop those tracts. Th1s sub~ttal 1S for your 1nformat10n
and 1S pursuant to our several conversat10ns on the matter.
It has been d1scussed and agreed between us that provis1ons of 1961
zon1ng and subsequent court orders under which these propert1es are
governed do not requ1re s1te plan approval by the C1ty of Clearwater.
Therefore, these courtesy s1te plan subm1ttals, 1n antic1pat1on of
making app1icat1on for building perm1ts, do not constitute a waiver
of our r1ghts under the court orders w1th respect to 196~ zon1ng pro-
vis1ons. It, therefore, 1S expected that the City will not take
except10n to our plans for these s1tes when app1icat1ons for building
perm1ts are submitted.
Please acknowledge that these plans fall with1n the parameters of
zoning requirements established by Circu1t Civ11 No. 78-4765-7.
If you require further information or explanation about the enclosures,
~ w1ll be most happy to cooperate.
Very truly yours,

7820 38th Avenue North
St. Petersburg, Florida 33710
Dear Mr. Cheezem:
I am writing in response to your letter of June 16, 1983 con-
cerning properties located on Gulf Boulevard, identified by. you
as "1330 and 1340 Gulf Boulevard." Pursuant to your request for
notification in writing prior to July 1, 1983, this is to advise
you that the City of Clearwater does, in fact, object to the
attached preliminary design and does not agree to accept and
process building permit app1ication{s) submitted, based solely on
conformance with the City of Clearwater ordinances in effect ~n
December 31, 1961.
It is the City.s position that the preliminary design information
submitted by you represents a gross disparity with not only the
current requirements of the City as to building height limi-
tations; front, side and coastal construction control setback
requirements; and density, clear space, parking, bui1ding
separation distance, and floor area ratio requirements, but also
with the development experience of U. S. Steel on Sand Key. Such
wholesale departure from both existing standards and the de-
velopment norm, given the changed conditions which have occurred
and are occurring on Sand Key, poses a potential threat to the
health, safety and welfare of the community and is unacceptable.
The City of Clearwater does not interpret or believe that it was
the intent of the court decision with respect to the litigation
with U. S. Steel Corporation that absolute and unbridled waiver
of all acceptable standards, even in the face ,of changed con-
ditions, would be provided to any successor in title.

The City 1S prepared to discuss with you plans for the re-
development of this property that are consistent with the design
parameters observed by U. S. Steel Corp. under the court decision
to which you refer. Absent a willingness on the part of the
Cheezem Corp. to adhere to guidelines consistent with the public
health, safety and welfare, the City will have no recourse except
to seek judicial relief through a declaratory judgment to fulfill
our municipal responsibilities and protect the public interest.
I trust this is responsive to your inquiry and reiterate the
City is willing and anxious to meet with you to arrive at a
development proposal that is mutually acceptable and recognizes
the constraints that U. S. Steel has operated under since the
court decision.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth S. Haeseker

Dear r~. Haesaker:
As requested during a meeting held in your office on June 3, 1983
\vhich was attended by you, Mr. Frank Kawolski (City Attorney's
office), Mr. David Healey (Planning Department Director) and John
Corbet (Cheezem Land Corporation), the preliminary design information
for the captioned properties, although not required by applicable
ordinances and zoning codes, is submitted herewith.
This preliminary design has been prepared under the provlslons
of the "B" Business District pursuant to the City of Clearwater's
ordinance Nos. 627, 6~2, 726, 753, 798 and 912 which have been
certified by the City Clerk as being the zoning code and amendments

Cheezem Development on Sand Key
September 7, 1983
C1ty Attorney Tom Bustin and I met with represen~atives from the
Cheezem Development Corporation on Thursday, September 1, to
review their follow-up proposal for the development of the
IInorthll site (between Sheraton Sand Key and Landmark Towers) and
the IIsouthll site (between the tennis courts and 5e...~---~ ).
As you are aware, our discussion with them was initiated w1th
the1r proposal to place 240 residential units plus one (1)
commercial unit on thellsouthll site on the premise that they were
entitled to develop 1n accord with the 1961 zoning regulations
referenced in the U. S. Steel court decision. Their a1ternat1ve
proposal 1nc1udes the fo110w1ng:
1. Development of 192 un1ts on the IIsouthll site in one
18-story bU11ding (16 11ving levels, 1 park1ng level and
1 amenity level) plus approximately 2500 sq. ft. of
office building on a gross acreage of 3.895 acres. This
yields a~resident1a1 density of 49.2 units per acre;
,_55
2. On the IInorthll slte they propose 4 bU11dings, 2 of Wh1Ch
would be 22 stories (21 living levels plus 1 parking
level) and 2 at 10 stor1es (8 living levels above 1
park1ng level and 1 amenity level). Total unit count
would be 468 units on the approximate 15 gross acres
(inclusive of 6 t acres forward of the Coastal
Construct1on Control Line) which would equate to a
den s i ty 0 f a p pro xi mat e 1 y 31.2 un its per a ere; and
3. On both sites they would request the parking require-
ments be adjusted from 1.5 to 1.0 parking spaces per
unit.

I have identified below the comparison for both sites with those
requirements of the existing regu1at1ons. Attorney George Allen
1ndicated that it would be the1r preference to reach agreement
along the lines they have outlined; that such agreement would
need to include suff1cient legal surety in the form of a court
stipulation; and that time was of the essence in reach1ng such an
agreement. In essence, they are proposing to IIvo1untari1yll
reduce the scope of the project on the IIsouthll site, the re-
qU1rements for which are in question, in return for additional
he1ght, density and park1ng concessions on the IInorthll site which
is governed by current CTF-28 zoning requ1rements. In addition
to the merits of any such trade-off, we need to answer the
procedural quest10n of transfer eligibility and authority.
As I 1nd1cated I will reV1ew the matter with the City Manager and
City Attorney, inc1ud1ng whatever input you deem appropriate from
the City Commission, and respond by telephone by Monday,
September 12, as to our posit1on and the need and timing for
add1tiona1 discuSS1on.

Re: U. S. Steel Sand Key Properties
Dear Mr. Shoemaker:
Enclosed is a tract map identifying our undeveloped Sand Key properties
together with informational copies of site plans illustrat1ng how we
intend to develop those tracts. This submittal is for your 1nformation
and 1S pursuant to our several conversations on the matter.
It has been d1scussed and agreed between us that prov1sions of 1961
zoning and subsequent court orders under which these propert1es are
governed do not require site plan approval by the City of Clearwater.
Therefore, these courtesy site plan submittals, in antic1pat1on of
making application for build1ng permits, do not constitute a waiver
of our rights under the court orders w1th respect to 1961 zoning pro-
visions. It, therefore, is expected that the City will not take
exception to our plans for these s1tes when applications for building
permits are submitted.
Please acknowledge that these plans fall within the parameters of
zoning requ1rements established by Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7.
If you require further information or explanation about the enclosures,
we w1ll be most happy to cooperate.
Very truly yours,

On behalf of the City of Clearwater, I have, wi th the

submitted to the City in regard to U. s. Steel Sand Key

accept this letter as official notice that the City of Clearwater
does not agree with your expectation that the development
contemplated in the plans "fall within the parameters of [the]
zoning requirements established by Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-
7." The proposed development involves a significant departure
from the character and magnitude of nominal development on the
island and represents a drastic change in cond i tions for the
Island. Moreover, the scope and scale of the development now
proposed raises serious questions in regard to the City's
responsibilities and power to issue building permi ts under the
provisions of section 380.06 of the Florida Statutes.
The City is ready to discuss its position with you and
your representatives and sincerely hopes that an understanding
may be reached as to the force and effect of Judge Driver's order
and controlling law. However, I feel obligated to advise you
that the sign ificant change in cond i tions on Sand Key wh ich is
proposed by persons claiming rights under the court order raises
serious questions as to the continuing effect of the decision.
The City does not believe that the intended parameters and effect
of the order contemplated development which far exceeds the
character and magnitude of development at issue in U. S. Steel v.
the City of Clearwater.
Let me reiterate the City's desire to work with your
company in this matter and I hope you will avail yourself of my
invitation to meet and discuss this matter.

Cheezem Development on Sand Key
DATE:
August 1, 1980
At the Resource Development Committee meeting of July 25, the Committee considered
requests for a waiver of the community impact statement and for preliminary site
plan approval of ~uilding Ill, Sea Towers at Sand Key, on property which was the
subject of a stipulated settlement agreement between the City of Clearwater and the
Cheezem Development Corp. (one unexecuted copy attached). In the meeting with the
Resource Development Committee, the attorney for 'the Cheezem Development Corp. assumed
the following positions regarding the two separate actions before the Committee:
(1) With regard to the community impact statement, Counsel represented it
was incumbent upon the Committee to ~aive tbe community impact statement
unless to do 80 would pose 8 threat to the health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the City (see paragraph 5 of the attached Agreement).
Tbe Committee was divided with respect to the value snd need for an
impact statement, given that the number of dwelling units is set under the
stipulated Agreement. We were uncertain, however, given the position of
Cheezem's legal representative, as to whether we had a right to ask for a
community impact statement if we deemed it appropriate. In essence, does
the stipulated ~ettlement affect the City's otherwise applicable require-
ment governing the submission or waiver of a community impact statement?
(2) With regard to the site plan, Counsel for the applicant took the position
that the otherwise applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance,
specifically the setback and waterfront vista provisions, could not be
applied to the subject project unless a showing was ~de that the health,
safety, morals or heneral welfare of the City were threatened by their
not being met. It is Cheezem's position that paragraph 3 of the settle-
ment entitles them to a specific building dimension and thus to exemption
from the setback requirements. The Committee finds it necessary to solicit
your reading of the settlement agreement a8 to whether the applicable re-
quirements of zoning, other than the building height and number of dwelling
units, apply to the review of 'the site plan.
r
As a result of these questions, action on both the request for waiver and site plan
approval was continued pending your opinion. The next scheduled meeting of the
Resource Development Coumlttee is August 15, prior to which we would very ~ch ap-
preciate your counsel and direction with the ~bove two questions.

Sand Key Beach--Cheezem Development
DATE
October 16, 1979
Responding to your memorandum of September 25, 1979, regarding
the above captioned easement to be granted by Cheezem Development,
you are advised as follows:
(a) When the easement is obtallled, the City should
also request Cheezem Development to provide a
release of mortgage as to the easement area. With
the release of mortgage the City would be protected
should an absolute foreclosure of the property take
place.
(b) The settlement should be viewed in the nature of a
contract. Examination of the document does not
disclose that if the City takes the easement, the
development rights contained therein will be further
extended. See for example paragraph 5 of the
settlement.
~
(c)
It may be best to get the release discussed in (a)
under the beach nourishment program since both
Cheezem and the mortgage holder will profit from
the program.
