REVISED FINAL SITE PLAN
Chairman Haeseker requested Mr. Appenzeller to brief the
Committee as to what the revision was. Mr. Appenzeller replied
that original plan was based on leaving existing building on site
and adding on office space, however this proved to be
economically infeasible. Recent plans are to destroy everything
on site and start from scratch.
Jeff Daniels - No comments.
Bill Baker - No comments.
Ed Bethel - Presented written comments.

Chairman Haeeeker - Informed Mr. Appenzeller that demolition also

ITEM #4 - REVIEW OF BICYCLE GUIDELINES
Paula Harvey commented that the City Manager wanted a recommenda-
tion from the Development Review Committee about some items in
the bicycle plan. Planning"s approach to the Conunission is that
they not adopt it as a formal policy but that they pay particular
attention to Chapter 5 which is a statement of the goals and
policies that one might anticipate to be in an adopted bicycling
plan, and for them to give direction to staff that these policies
be utilized in guidelines whenever the City staff is confronted
with a particular situation pertaining to road construction,
replacement of grates, etc.
Ms. Harvey requested that the committee give input into which
items they would like to see the Planning Department go forward
with.
o
Chairman Haeseker suggested that the Committee go through the
plan giving comments beginning with Chapter 5, Policy 1.
CLEARWATER BICYCLING PLAN POLICIES
Policy 1: Hav~ already adopted the same option as the County.
Policy 2: Manufacturers will not declare one type of grate
bicycle safe over another. Some are a lot safer than others and
the City will certainly pick the safer ones available.
Policy 3: Mr. Crawford expressed concern that this policy sounds
as if when marking areas of a crosswalk, that we would stop when
getting to an area considered a bicycle area. Feels this is
contrary to the National Manual. Mr. Baker pointed to the
portion of the policy that states ,.....whenever possible in light
of all design requirements......
Policy 4: Mr. Baker states this policy absolutely has to be
rewritten as the level of service would have to be raised above
what is being given at this point in time. Regarding the
'repaving portion, 'paving all the 'way to the curb is not good for
drainage. Will feather at the gutter line to eliminate the
ridge.

Policy 5: Mr. Henderson states this is impossible to
accommodate. Would help to change wording of policy to begin
with,', "Whenever poss ible. . . tI

Policy 6: City currently corrects utility cuts to grade/either
excessively humped or depressed cuts. Want to maintain authority
to decide what are hazards and what are not hazards. Two weeks
on repairs is not practical. Should read, "as soon as possible".
Mr. Henderson expressed the opinion that if the Bicycle Plan is
adopted then a bicycle tax to help defray costs should also be
'implemented.
Mr. Crawford was of the opinion that much of this plan could be
said in a simpler form which would eliminate a number of the
pOlicies.
Policy 7~ Mr. Crawford stated the City cannot control railroad
crossings. The Florida Department of Transportation is the
Agency in the State responsible for approving any new railroad
crossing. The cost of bicycle safe intersections is prohibitive
($60,OOO for installation across half a road). Agree that
crossings should be at 900 angles.
Policy 8: Has always been a problem. Need to know the areas
where a bicyclist is going to be. Motorcycles can be picked up
on present detection devices, but not bicycles. May not be
possible to do as this policy dictates. Would like policy to
begin "Whenever possible...u
Policy. 9: Basically says the same thing as Policy 8. Please
delete.
policy 10: Reword to say IIBicycles will be considered in the
timing of traffic signals.1I Several of the items in this policy
are 'already being done.
Policy 11; Can't control on state routes but could on city
streets that are bike routes. County made us remove signs that
had been installed on bike routes throughout the City.
policy 12: No problems with this policy.
Policy 13: Needs to be del~ted.
Policy 14: Already required by State law. Delete portion
beginning with, "although the basic standard....1I
Policy 15: Needs to be rewritten. Chairman Haeseker requested
Ms. Harvey and Mr. Baker to get together to work out details.
Policy 16: Is already being done.
, Policy 17: A repeat of Policies land 14. To be deleted.
policy 18: No problems with this policy.
Policy 19: All right as written.
