A 14" palm tree on the west side of the property by the retention pond is not shown and the reten- tion pond will have to be redesigned around the tree. There is also a 10" tree north of Building 2. that can be preserved. The dumpster north ot Building 2. could be relocated to the southeast corner which would invplve some parking spaces. Mr. Stewart said they had it there but Sanitation recommended they move it. Mr. Buhmeyer recommended they relocate Z fire hydrants and remove 1, and wants the Site Plan to reflect this change. ,-, ' Mr. Meerians was concerned about access and wants something in writing by the Pines. They said this letter was on ita way. The Pines 'people oppose any ingress or egress on their property. They think there would be a lot less traffic on Sandy Lane than on Greenlea Drive. Mr. Meerians stated it would be better to use Sandy Lane because there are hundreds of people using the light on Greenlea~ as it is a residential neighborhood. Mr. Meerians said the parking layout is OK but people on Sandy Lane are going to be involved. Mr. Bax said they did not get this much feedback from people, only from Fountai:' Square, but nothing in writing. ',' .' Mr. Rettig said they were asking to have a deed restriction abolished regard- ing the access but the Pines people did not find it acceptable at all. Mr. Rettig told the Fairmont Co. that if they had a letter from the people on Sandy Lane not objecting to it, it would be a lot better when they present it to the Commission. They should change the Site Plan to read "No Access on This Road". Mr. Meerians said those two properties could ask that the street be vacated. Mr. Bax said that there will be a problem using Greenlea because more cars use GreenIea than Sandy and Mr. Meerians said the residents should be made aware of this. ),' ,Mr. Rettig said the Site Plan shows an easement for the sewer line but no Ul easement for the water line. The IINew Line" on the plan is an existing line ~ and the water line goes into the, Pines now. Mr. Rettig wants an easement to ~ the existing line into the Pines and into this development and then to the street. 5 Builders said this would be no problem. 41 Mr. Henderson gave the developer written comments (attached as p.8 and discussed Z Irf.raddl:td.dnphe: remarked that the sanitary sewer line that cuts across the property Beems to be very close to Building 2.

Motion carried with Mr. Meerians and Mr. Henderson against it. "\' Fair Oaks, Fred Bullard Corporation; located north of Drew Street, east of u. S. 19, adjacent to the west side of Fairwood Avenue. Preliminary Site Plan Mr. Wilson had no comments. Mr. Battle amended the Engineering Comments (copy attached) and stated the number of units on this Plan will remain intact according to a conversation he had with the City Manager. Engineering is going to recommend a south right- of-way so the number of units will not be a problem in the consideration of this Plan., ;, '., Mr. Rettig stated the existing water mains and the ones that will be abandoned should be shown in the Plan. There will be no dumpsters and there should be individual wa.ter meters for each condo. " Mr. Meerians ,said jagging of the pavement a.round the trees is OK. Mr. Buhmeyer said the fire hydrants are too far apart - 390' to 480' is too far for a 400' hose. The builders will have to relocate them. .1: Mr. Campbell recommended reducing the parking spaces to narrower widths, no more than a zt reduction, so as to save some trees. Mr. Battle suggested ZZ' overall with no on-street parking. As to water quality, the builders will need to coordinate the disposition of storm water with Public Service. The , Water Resources Specialist said she would work with them to design the awale. Mr. Ayres said sidewalks would have to be in before the CO will be given. Also, the driveway entrances to the car ports should be free standing from the buildings. Builders said they would be and the driveways will also ~e shifted to save trees. ,; . Mr. Richter commented regarding the drive~ays that the egress to public streets is right at the corner, which isvery dangerous. Access to the public streets should be taken up with'Traffic Engineering. Also, two off-street parking spaces will be required for each unit, and carports should be back at least ZO' to provide for that off-street parking. Builders replied they are 20' back except for 4 places where they wanted to save trees. . :/' - 3 - Aug. 29, 1980 : 'l, \ I,..,.:, :, II, ~ J '~. . . ~ I ' '. I .. ~ '.. l , . ' " 1<,'.

Mr. Wilson referred to Page 5, paragraph 2. of the Plan which states that the lake will be dedicated to the City of Clearwater as an easement, and asked if that meant the City will own the lake and maintain the lake? Builders said Tlno", that' the easement agreement they have with the City states that access would be from their side. Ms. Wilson said the public will have access to the whole lake. Mr. Wilson said as of now there is no access to the back of the City Park located on Tract 2.0A. There is now a temporary roadway to the Park and Mr. Wilson asked that they build the permanent roadway before the Site Plan is approved so that the public will have access to the Park. The builders agreed to do this - they will start this road as part of the road con- 'struction on the north side ~f the property but they would not pave it right away. Mr. Wilson said his department needs it for their maintenance equip- ment and the builders agreed to put a temporary roadway out there for now. \, ;', ... l~ ~ ' {:;' '::'i, :-" . , .j ,.

Seconded by Don Mecrians. Passed unanimously. Preliminary Site Plan Mr. Richter wanted to know why the builders were submitting more parking spaces than are required and they stated they need 2 spaces for the 2-3 bed.. room apartments and I for each I bedroom apartment. Mr. Richter stated the, location of the recreational area should be in a more centralized area rather than tucked away in a corner. Builders stated this area is best suited for a recreational area because there is no room for a building and promises were made to the residents who live right next to the recreational area. Mr. Ayers recommended that the sidewalks to be built along Countryside Boulevard be shown on the Site Plan. , ' ,Mr. Campbell said at the south end of the property near Building 12 there is a large palm tree and he would like Building 12 shifted to the north some lor ,to save the tree. Builders will relocate the parking to preserve the tree. Mr. Buhm.eyer said if they do that they will need 2 fire hydrants because if one was located on the back side of the trees it would present a problem. Builders said they would put the parking as close as possible to the building or remove some of the parking there and put some parking on the west side. ~; : " , ~"l;'~; '\"' Mr. Buhmeyer asked if the recreation area will be used for night time acti- vity and answer was yes, , but no parties into the night so as not to disturb the surrounding residents. They will move the parking lot back 51 from the buil- din~ thus reducing the amount of asphalt in the area. Mr. Buhmeyer approved the relocation of the fire hydrant but wants to reserve his decision as to what ,they will do with th~ road. ,. Mr. Meerians asked if they will have any handicapped spaces. Reply was they only need about 4 and they have about 24. They were told to eliminate s orne. l " Mr. Rettig said the revised plan shows an easement going from the end of the water line to th~ end of our tract for the park. He suggested the builders get with the Sanitation Superintendent on the placement of their dumpsters and the easement for the water lines. be provided. Mr. Henderson referred to the Engineering Comments which are attached. Regarding Comment #4, builders think there is no problem but they will dis- cuss this with Max Battle. Ream Wilson said we need a walking easement (access easement) for people to get to the park. Builders said they intend to put that in.

Regarding the air- conditioning, he asked them to comply with the Energy Code, especially on the cooling cycle. Mr. Ayres said a CO cannot be issued until the sidewalks are in - about a mile and a half of sidewalks on public streets. Builders said they will supply a sidewalk bond. Mr. Meerians asked if there is a left turn storage area for Sable Springs Drive and builders said they thought so. Motion made bYG~ci1'Henderson to approve the Site Plan subject to the dedi- cation of all the requested easements and subject to the developer working with the Forestry Division ,to resolve the access tree conflict in the southwest corner of the property. Seconded by Mike Campbell and passed unanimously. Hillcrest Center Phases I and II, Expertises Financieres Prive es S. A. ; located on the west side of U.S. 19 North. Prelimina.ry Site Plan Mr. Richter stated the Site Plan shows only 81 parking spaces and 86 are required. Also, there is an excess amount of impermeable surface on the plan. Mr. Ayres had no comments. Karen Wilson stated she has no idea what the landscaping plan looks like and can't tell what the elevations are in the pond area. Mr. Buhmeyer said they need an additional hydrant on the site, which was agreed to. Mr. Meerians stated they do not have enough parking spaces so they will have to get a variance. Karen Wilson suggested they reduce the size of the reten- tion pond in order to get more parking spaces. Mr. Meerians suggested they r~move the planter and put 3 more parking spaces there. He had no further comments. Mr. Rettig said they should have a 101 separation between the water and sewer lines, if possible, and to put all the meters together (5/811 meters), to which builders agreed. He noted the dumpster located at the west end of the pond in the parking area is away from the roadway and is to serve both groups of building B. Cecil Henderson referred to the Engineering Comments which are attached. 'He also, stated these plans are very difficult to read and should not have been accepted by the Committee. They should get a new draftsman or make new copies of the original plans. - 6 - Aug. " l;'.~ ' . < :~ : t I- l,,: >> " I. I'. , , .; J .", ':.' ~('<, . .!
