Minutes of Phnning 6c Zoning Board . October 26, 1976
Pago 12
Platting should be reviewed with Florida Power prior to approval to determine if it will
cause any difficulties. nlO Building Director's memo stated that he is in opposition
to ,the plan due to zero setbacks on the side, driveway location and the information on
the setback next to tho street right-of-way.
Acting Planning Director atat6d that staff has reviewed the plan and believes the
previous development was a aucceRS, giving an opportunity to own houses to thoae
persons who could not otherwise afford them. If details of platting and lighting
can be solved. then the ataff would go along with the revised plat.
Discussion'on the project ensued.
Mr. Morris stated that it was his belief that the lot size was too small and Mr. Hall
brought out the fact that the appearance of a solid wall was not attractive arch!-
tectually. Mr. Ticc questioned the easements and stated that. the easements should be
written so as not to be detrimental aa a common block wall would involve the neighbor's
drainage and would give an easement to come onto the property.
At this point, Mr. Ralph Quartetti (who appeared with Mr. Doyle) interjected that he
did not foresee a drainage problem as the run-off would go toward the street.
Mr. Hall pointed out the fact that, if graated. these changes would be considerably
below RS-50. Single Family, and would have more use of land and small lots.
Mr. Tice brought out the fact that this projeut might be good for the unemployment
problem and that the cost of the house might be in a range where more porsons would
find it feesible to own a home.
Motion was made by Mr. Groth, seconded by Mr. Kuntz, to recommend approval or revised
RPD, aubject to the replatting and staff recommendations on setbacks and requirements
of the Florida Power Corp. Motion carried 6 - 3.
Item of Preliminary Presentation of Plan Chan~e Procedures waa the next item on the
agenda and Mr. Renando gave a brief background, inclUding the fact that we are
entering into the first phases of the development of the new Comprehenaive Plan and
will be involved with the procedural methods and how we are going to go about this
and what we are going to study.
Sam Casella, Senior Planner of the Long-Range Planning Division, gave the presentation,
eKplaining that the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975 mandates that
the governing body shall establish procedures for providing effective public parti-
cipation in the Comprehensive Planning Process and particularly in the preparation
of the Comprehensive Plan or Element or portion thereof.

mission, news media and staff members arc to be invited to go on a tour of the City

NOT APPROVED MINUTES
SUMMARY OF MINUTES OF PUNNING & ZONING BOARD ~ OCTOBER 26. 1976
Revised RPD (a portio~ of Valencia Park)
Mr. Tim Doyle of M. J. Brock & Sons, representing the owners of the property,
gave a brief history of the development of said property and Rtated that zero lot
line was established with the RPO and that approximately 200 homes had been built
to date. Due to the present economy, sa1cs have fallen off and, therefore, they
are proposing a change from the original plan to complete the project.
Originally, the lots (40 x SO) gave the appearance of a duplex, although two
single family homes with a common wall on zero lot line. In brief, Mr. Doyle's
desire is to:
1.
Take the remainder of the lots and increase the size to 50 x
lot line, single family detached, with increased side yards.
if approved, would decrease the number of homes and density,
RM-S+ to approximately 7.
SO with zero
This plan,
i. e.. from
2. Provide a l2-ft. side yard between the living structures with a block wall
running down the zero lot line. Intention to maintain a 10-ft. minimum
in rear.
3. Build a concrete driveway plus full garage and fenced-in rear (6-ft. fence)
and side yards.
4. Maintain present street layout.
5. Price the homes at $29,000 - $33,000 -- to be geared to moderate-income
families.
6. Build 3 models with 950 - 1300 sq. ft. plus 275 sq. ft. for the garage.
7. Have driveway with 20-ft. setback.
S. Provide sidewalks and curbs and fully approved streets.
9. Request only variance to be able to put in a swimming pool, if desired, i. e.,
up to 5 ft. of the side yard.
It was pointed out that this is the first cOlIullunity built in Clearwater on a zero
lot line and this project had to be c.:'anged to RPD to accommodate said zero lot line.
Mr. Doyle showed a mock-up and pointed out the densiey changes.
Mr. Renando, Acting Planning Director, read a memorandum from the City Engineer
(dated October 15, 1976) wherein recommendation was made that Unit 4 of Valencia Park
and that portion of Unit 3 that is presently undeveloped be replatted to show the
larger lots and that a bond be required updating this property in order to cover the
unimproved land.
A memorandum from the Traffic Engineer (dated October 25, 1976) stated that they
have no objection. The fact that the new lot lines do not correspond with the old
and that the buildings are going to be built right up to the lot linea could give
some problems re easements for the installation of street lights. Platting should
be reviewed with Florida Power Corp. prior to approval to determine if it will cause
any difficulties.

Various comments were made by the Board members and discussion ensued. In
summation, the' following connnents were made:
1. Lot size is too small.
2. Solid wall is not very appealing architecturally.
3. Common Block wall would involve neighbor's drainage and would give an
easement to come onto the property. Easements should be written so as
not to be detrimental. Planting of shrubbery might be a problem with
drainage run-off.
4. 'If proposed changes were granted, zoning would be considerably below
RS-50, Single Family, and would be more use of land with smaller lots.
