Immediately prior to the October meeting PinellaR County at the City's request had issued a Stop-Work..Order on the Project. Mr. Rachel and his' associates agreed at the October meeting to do all changes requested by the Department Directors. He further agreed, after he had made the changes required to the Site Plan, to "walk it around" to each Department for their approval and sign-off. Mr. Paroby noted that two months had passed since the developer had agreed to the above but that he had not yet seen the Plan. " Mr. Alexander observed work was again proceeding on the Proj ect. It was ascertained after some discussion that many of the changes requested had not been made on the Plan that Mr. Rachel had distributed and that he had then taken no further action to meet the City's requirements. The decision was made to circulate one copy of the plan to each Department for comments and then return the Plan with the attached comments to the BUilding Department, who would be responsible for determining compliance prior to the authorization for connection to City sewer and water facilities.

Mr. Henderson stated Pinellas County had agreed in writing to the alignment of McMullen-Booth Road as indicated on the Preliminary Subdivision Plat. He further noted the retention pond extends into Park access corridor. The right-of-way for Landmark Drive does not extend far en9ugh south on this plat to provide park access. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Wilson discussed the swale area. At present the swale is shown partially on private and partially on City property making maintenance a problem. Mr. Clark agreed to resolve the problem by installing a drainage pipe. -' I ~;:?~. " . '.~ ". Mr. Wilson expressed a desire to develop the park for active uses similar to those in Woodgate and questioned Mr. Clark regard- ing the size of this park. Mr. Clark stated the development con- tained 37.576 acres - 10% or 3.76 acres of which would be dedicated to the City for parkland. ., . "~ "" ( ~' .'~ ~ '. . . '. . .of'" ~ ,." " - 2 - '.cr ,', ."

Mr. Clark responded to this by saying he felt the park would also be required to meet the on-site retention requirement. Mr. Henderson indicated the Public Works Department would check the retention area very closely when the construction plans were ~ubmitted. . Mr. Kenton had no comment. \.',' . Mr. Rettig indicated he had no problems with the subdivision plat but did want to make these things clear: (1) Approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plat did not constitute approval of construction details. (2) The 12'1' water main shown in the right-of way of McMullen-Booth Road does not exist and will not be available until the City is able to extend it. Mr. Buhmeyer noted the water"lines will have to be of an approved size and the correct number of fire hydrants shown on the construction plans. Mr. Alexander expressed his approval of the effort made to save the large oak trees. A provision for fencing and/or landscaping as needed on double-frontage lots was the only further comment made by Mr. Healey. Mr. Crawford stated that he had attended a recent City Commission meeting where a commitment was given to obtain a lOO-foot one-half right-of-way for all developments along McMullen-Booth road. It was the consensus of the Committee that Pinellas County's concurrence in the alignment as proposed satisfies this requirement. A motion was made by Mr. Kenton, and seconded by Mr. Alexander~ to approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plat for Shady Oak Farms. Preliminar estaurant S.R." 580 L - Western Steer o , south of Mr. Edward Mazur, Jr., represented the applicant and explained the reasons he felt a C.I.S. was not required. The costs as indicated in the letter submitted included an item " for portable furnishings. When this item was eliminated 6;pm the cost, the development was substantially under the $500,000 threshold - 3 - . ~ ,........ i I ," <' , . " , A vote was taken and the consensus of the Committee was that no C.I.S. was required based on the elimination of the cost listed as miscellaneous equipment - reducing the total estimated cost below the $500,000 threshold. Mr. Snair, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Buhmeyer and Mr. Healey had no comments. Mr. Henderson expressed approval of the plan but did say the drainage would be reviewed at the time the construction plans are submitted. Mr. Campbell praised the effort made to preserve the trees but advised the applicant ,it would be necessary to comply with the landscaping ordinance at the time permits were requested. The water meter would have to be moved back on private prop~rty. A fire hydrant would be required and could be shown off the 6u line which taps into t~e 8u water main, Mr. Rettig stated. Mr. Alexander questioned the placement of the sign in the required 40-foot setback. Mr. Paroby indicated the developer will be required to sign an agreement stating he will bear the costs of moving the sign out of the setback in the event the area is to be used for highway purposes. Mr. Kenton noted he had talked to Mr. Mazur regarding the landscaping and everything was in order. A motion for approval of the Preliminary Site Plan was made by Mr. Henderson. seconded by Mr. Kenton, and unanimously approved. . Agreement to Annex - Exchange National Bank located . Corner of Daniel Street and McMullen-Booth Road ,. ~ ',', :. " .., '. L , Mr. Paroby stated that the developer had already deeded the necessary right-of~way for McMullen-Booth road to the county. Mr. Henderson said on-site retention would be required and he also noted gravity sanitary sewer is not available. A lift station will be required to pump into the existing force main on MCMullen-Booth road. The sewage will go to the Northeast Treatment plant. The development will be served by the Pinellas County Water System, Mr. Rettig stated. r < " ". . !'.' I. -'4 - . , :::~ . ;i,<...... ;~ ~: : ", " ,. '. , ~ ...-..

President, Attkisson-Bankston Division of U.S. Home, stated that they had submitted a witten request on November 13 asking the City to grant a waiver to the C.I.5. requirement and at the same time filed with the City Clerk a request that the land be rezoned from RM-24 to RM-12 Mr. Kerwin further stated that at this time they would like to' wmend the request fo~ a waiver to include only Phase I of the Tract. ' No action had been taken yet on the rezoning request and that would also be amended to cover only Phase t. Mr. Kenton stated his desire to' see the sensitive, wet, tree covered area in the center of the total tract preserved. His concern was that by the imposition of the artifical phase line down the center of the sensitive area, "the developer might consider it necessary to utilize that portion for a roadway or buildings. Mr. Healey, stated that his main concern is with how the total tract is to be developed relative to portion now under consideration. The motion was made and seconded to table the request for a waiver of the C.t.S. until Mr. Kerwin could furnish the Committee with a delineation of the portion of the tract to be affected by the waiver and to give him time to amend his rezoning application. Motion passed. Preliminary Site Plan approved by Cit~ Commission AugUst 3, 1978, Island Estate Villas It was moved, seconded and approved to recommend to the City Manager minor plan changes necessary to accommodate revised ownership pattern.
