the developer should contact Mr. Tracy. Mr. Healey suggeoted larger prints of the site
plan be provided for review prior to action on the site plan. Motion WdS made by
Mr. Wilson, seconded by Mr. Henderson, to approve the CIS with an addendum or corroction
to the vegetation statement and that the site plan be considered at the subsequent meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion ensued whether the CIS could be waived by the Commission or perhaps consolidated
into a single report. Mr. Healey reported it was the Legal Deparbment's opinion that the
CIS ~rovision could not be waived. It would be up to the Committee to accept a consoli-
dated report. Hr. Bodziak indicated this would not be advantageous at this point and
questioned whether CIS could be waived 8S it applied to portion of Countryside approved
under Master Plan prior to CIS requirement. Mr. Healey stated that he will have an
answer to this question by the next meeting of the RDC.
Item 13 - Sunset Poillt Nursing Center - CIS and Site Plan Review
(Cont'd. from ROC meetin~ of July 28. 1978)
Sandy Lloveras stated revised site plan had been submitted earlier in the week and
revisions were made per staff comments; among them: ligustrum hedge shown on east
boundary, grubbing and tree permit put on the site plan, additional fire hydrant on
the northeast corner of property adjacent to the parking lot, meter shown on the
south side of the building, north side of Sunset Point Road re drainage noted and
drainage shown on the plan. Mr. Henderson stated that most of the items of concern to
his Depar~ent have been taken care of. Mr. Lloveras indicated legal description had
been corrected and proof of ownership has been provided. Mr. Wilson had no comments
but reiterated Mr. Tracy's.comments that removal of myrtle and chinaberry trees over
certain size will require a tree removal permit. Fire Department inquired if the
developer could build in extra line. Mr. Lloveras indicated this would be done. Messrs.
Alexander and Kenton had no comments. Mr. Healey stated no difficulty with the CIS ..-
that it was adequate in terms of the facility it addreased. However, he could not support
approval of site plan ahead of zoning change needed to enable it to be legitimately con-
sidered. Mr. Lloveras stated that he h~d met with Mr. Rankin and the abutting property
owners and they are in favor of the project. Mr. Henderson questioned whether the
Committee should be reviewing the site plan when it doesn't have the zoning. Discussion
ensued. Motion was made by Mr. Henderson, seconded by Mr. Kenton, to recommend approval
of the CIS. Motion carried unan~ously. MOtion was made by Mr. Henderson, seconded
by Mr. Wilson, to communicate to the appropriate boards that the Committee has com-
pletely reviewed the site plan and hos no problems with it but has withheld approval
pending appropriate zoning for the property. MOtion carried unanimously.
Item #4 - Perkins' Cake and Steak - CIS and Site Plan Review
,Mr. Kami Targal stated that above restaurant would have minimal impact. Mr. Henderson
stated that flood control and sewage control are adequately covered and he sees no
problems in this regard. Mr. Crawford stated that driveway on Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. shows
slender taper to get people in and out; U. S. 19 driveway cannot be provided on property
line but must be at least 5 feet away; parking spaces should be separated from the drive-
~ay by planters (at ends of driveway) as 8 distinct separation is necessary. Mr. Wilson
bad no comments. However, speaking for Mr. Tracy, he stated that there were 114 parking
spaces requiring 1520 sq. ft. of planting and planting 1s not shown. There is a great'
necessity to preserve the camphor tree as it is recognized by the Arbor Association
and is on the National Registry. Also, there are 4 s~ble palms on the property which,
if removed, would require a tree permit. Fire Department representatives stated they
require one on-site fire hydrant, preferably at the southerly mid~line area (8'" line
dead-end). Mr. Kenton again stressed the importance of the preservation of the camphor
tree and its root system. Mr. Rettig stated the developer should contact the Sanitation
Department re putting in ~ dumpster. Mr. Healey stated that a reasonable portion of the

excess parking spaces should be utilized for internal landscnping. Mr. Crawford
expressed his concern with reducing the number of spaces in this manner. Mr. Healey
also inquired. whether any consideration had been given to the restaurant being located
on the northeast corner of the property and suggested that the present location be re-
viewed by tbe architeet. MOtion was made by Mr. Henderson, seconded by Mr. Rettig,
to recot1'llDend approval of the CIS. Motion carried unanimously. Motion was made by
Mr. Henderson, seconded by Mr. Lewis, td defer final approval of the site plan to the
next meeting (August 25,1978). Motion carried unanimous 1y. No tion was made by
Mr. Wilson, seconded by Mr. Alexander, that the ROC Committee make a recommendation
to the City Manager that someone be designated to contact the owner where the camphor
tree is located and that a fence be constructed around the tree to protect it from '
.vandalism and damage. at the City's expense, to be done immediately and prior to
construction of the restaurant and tbat the appropriate funds be allocated for that
purpose. Motion carried unanimously.
Item #5 - Highland Center - Preliminary Plan Review in Conjunction with
Annexation (Cont'd. from ROC meetin~ of July 289 1978)
Annexatio~ haB been approved by the City Co~ssion subject to approval,of the site plan
by RDC. Mr. Smoyer was absent and had not contacted any of the members of the various
departments since the last meeting ~s had been indicated. We still do not have proof
of ownership. Construction of the project is underway under a COlmty permit. Motion
was made by Mr. Henderson. seconded by Mr. Kenton, that the Committee notify the City
Manager that Mr. Smoyer and his group appeared at the meeting of July 28, 1978 and
indicated they would do anything that the Committee desired but did not contact them
and that, in the meantime, constroction is going on. The County criteria they are
building under does not meet the City of Clearwater's requirements and strong action
. .should be taken to advise the applicant of the need to comply with the terms of
Commission action on the annexation as well as to reconcile what is an on-going
problem with the County. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Healey stated that he bad received a letter from K. L. King & Associates requesting
a waiver of the CIS for Northwood Villas based on the anticipated downzoning of the
tract (now RM-28). They contemplate building less than the 16 dwelling units.per scre
to,~hich'the property is now covenanted. Mr. Healey ntated that the Committee will re-
ceive additional copies of the site plan and address both waiver of the CIS and the
preliminary site plan at the next meeting (August 25, 1978).
Meeting adjourned at 12:05 P.M.
