Conservation Nccu.'i Summary
The following paragraphs summarize the findings of the inventory and anal)'sis section of the ConscrvDtian
Element:
..
Conservation MCns need to be shown on tbe future land use map as required by tbe'.' Florida
Administrative Code. .
..
Existing and planned watcrweils and cones of influence need'to be shown on the future land use map
as required by the Florida AdminUitrativc Code, The Southwest Florida Watcr Management District
(SWFWMD) has not identified cones of influence for the Clenrwater area. Planning staff bas delineated
a two thousand (2,000) foot concentric circle consisting of au area of seventy-two and eight one- ,
hundredths (72.08) acres for each active waterwcll to provide a weUficld protection area. When
SWFWl\1D provides scientifically detailed informationt these weUfield protection"areas may be revised.
I
Historic district boundaries and designated hi'itorically significant properties meriting protection need'
to be shown on the future land use map as required by the Florida Administrative Code. Iocluded 10
this category is the Harbor Oaks Historic District, the Downtown Post Office, the Rpcbling Estatet the
Louis Ducros House, and South Ward Elementary School.
..
.
, ,
The protection, maintcnancc,and continued management of Cleanyater's surface waler resources,
including both interior and coastal waters, are inherently important for their natural functions and to
the desired iniage and quality of life in Clearwater. .
Clearwater's groundwater supplies are importiUll and must be protected to ensure the continuance of
the Citys ability to provide potable water to its accounts.
..
.
1:he protection, maintenancet and continued management of Clearwater's shorelinest especially its barrier
island beach shorelines, is criticaJ. These areas provide a most important social and economic function
as these natural resources are the beart of Clennvatcr's tourism industry. The number of warm sunny
days, Clearwater Beach. Sand Key, and the geographic proximity to Caladesi Island State Park arc some
of the most important !lOd unique resources the City possesses,
The protection, maintenance, and continued management of tlle City's six hundred twenty-three (623)
acres of natural wetlands including tidal swamps alld marshest both interior and coastal, are critical to
the continued existence of both plant nod animal wildlife and wildlife habitat. These areas contribute
to Clearwater's high quality of life. Wetlands shall not be destroyed, disturbed, or altered to prevent
them from performing their natural functions, except through mitigation stanciards as developed by the
City.
.
.
Public awareness and education programs which enlighten cit.izens to the importance of protecting
Florida's sensitive environment is a critical Lssue which will help to reduce the number of environmental
accidents, mistakes and the general mlsmanagement of natural resources which may occur in the future.
Black, red, and white mangrove trees are important to the continuan~ of many species of marine lie.
Protection of these resources is crucial to the food chain necessary to sustain, marine fife and shoreline
stabilization. ' '
.
.
Protection of the edges or "ecotooes. associated with the different ecosystems arc important to natural
function and,Clearwater's quality of life.
..
Designation of scenic vistas shall remain undcvelopcd and retain their character and integrity as tbey
were intended to be when they were designated in previous years as "scenic non-commercial corridors:
They are specifically: Memorial' Causeway; Edgewnter Drive; Courtney Campbell Parkway; Gulf
Boulevard; Bayshorc Boulevard; and Dellealr Road between V,S. Highway 19 and Belcher Road.
, Tampa Bay has been ranked top priority for the Surface Water Improvement and Management Program
(S.W.1,M.). Clearwater and other municipalities contiguous [0 Tampa Bay need to cooperate and
participate in the effort 'of deaning-up the bay and !estoring marine life and shellfIsh fisheries. ,

Soil erosion is an issue tha.t must continue to be managed through the site plnn review process.
particularly before, during, and after construction of new development. Erosion should l1at be thought
of as impacting sandy beaches exclusively. AU soils arc important to the welfare of Clearwater arid its
cnvirons. Areas expericncing erosion arc certain areas of Sand Key, Clearwater Beach anu sUme spoil
islands, especlnlly spoil island #25. These areas arc discussed in greater detail in the. c.:oullwl Zone
Management Element.
Shade. 'trees provide a number of valuable funclions \vWch include noise reduction, heat reduction,
buffering. aesthetic beauty, ,and replenishment of ambient oxygen, The City of C::learwater would beaefit
from, the development of an ordinance which would require the developer of aU new development to
provide a specified number of native'shade trees based on an established ratio of pervious to impervious
'ureas. ' ' '
Air quality in the Tampa Bay area is of paramount importan~ to the general health and well~being of
its residents., The City 'should continue to cooperate and participate in all efforts re'commended by the
" Pmellas County Environmental Management Department, Division of Air Quality, toward the attainment '
of cleaner and healthier ambient 'air quality.
Land uses which are associated with hazardous wastes andior hn:z.itrdous materials should be restricted
from locatiDg within designated wellfield protection areas which have been delineated an the future land
use map. Cooperation train all other adjacent local governments is crudal to the success of this proposal.
The implementation of this basic restriction will be coordinated through the Inter,governmental
Coordination Element.
.,
" ,
The City of Clearwater need." to coordin.n'te and participate with PinelJas County, in an effort to provide
a temporary storage and transfer facility to serve residential households in disposing of hazard(:)Uslt~xic
wastes and unused bazardous/toxic materials. ' '

Dear.Tom:
,
Please ask, the EAC at its February meeting to re~iewthe enclos-
"ed ,letter to Commissioner Degan and' consider'lt 'for' a recommendation'
,that the city determine the economic and environmental benefits of
:the suggestion, revision in the processing of shrub and tree trim-'
"m i'ng5 . Thank s .
Since the stevenson C~eek Ph II is in limbo why not investigate
,some of my previous 5uggestioJ:ls to' inject storm water into .the ,shal-
low aquifer to increase the local ground water that the city can 'pump
from its wells.
I sugg~st some Stevenson Creek funds to subsidize a pilot pro~
ject that would collect storm water runoff from the. roof of Sunshine
Mall, skim oil and settle solids ,in a tank with two or three stage
water cleaning sections, Then inject it about 30 feet into the shal-
low aquifer below t,he clay that maintains shallow ground water for
shallow wells. Another method was the storm ~ewer pipe-method we
discussed some time ago. When adequate amounts of storm yater is
diverted'to the shallow aquifer it will:
1. Push back salt water intrusion and 'some the plugged wells can be
unplugged as the sal~ water is push out from under Clearwater.
2. Reduce the chance of a flood.
, ,
These are twp ate~s that you can do. to accomplish a lot of good
forJthe citizens of Clearwater.
Sincerely,
Peter Reut~r, Concerned Consumei, Environmentalist, taxpayer, and

Dear Com~i5sioner Deegan:
I h~ve trimmed a number' of trees and have a large amount of tree
and. shrub tr immings tha't I \IIould 1 ike' to u'se' as mulch" on my propel::ty.'
I' have calle'd tree services '\IIi th chippers to find out the cost to' use
a 'chipper fOl: 1/2 houl:. The quotes a~e '$125. and $100. This is not
reasonable just to be willing to keep my tree trimmings on my prop-
erty as mulch when the city is expending tax dollars \IIastefully in
the following manner:
I believe the city sanitation Dept. is wasting tax dollars when
it collects trimmings from trees and bushes and hauls them to the
County Mulch Recycling Center.
The County then chips up ,the trimmings and mulches the chips
with grass clippings.
The City
Clearvater for a
property. Most
their homes. My
then hauls the m6lch back to several locations in
few concerned citizens to pick up for use on their
homeowners do not have vehicles to haul the mulch to
suggested solution follow:
1. city to modify a chipper to direct the chips into a city trash
barrel modified by adding bicycle size wheels for easy movement
to the area of property the homeowner wants to use the chips ~s
a mulch. The bottom could have a latch and 'hinge so it cari open
to allow chips to be spread on the homeowners property.
2. Chipping on 'site will reduce 5 to 7 loads of brush into one
load! This will save hauling and c?unty dumping fees.
3. County s~ends tax dollars to chip, turn mulch and requires a lot
of land to mulch the chips and grass.
4 ."Ci tY' or County expends ta:< dollars to haul the mulch back to the
city.'
5. 1 ~lst of homeowners that will accept extra chips could be
maintained and the chips of homeowners who do not want to mulch can
be dumped on their properly.

Whereas, The pinellas Anclote River Basin Board Fiscal Year 1991
Basin PI an. has bud-gated ll10ni es for th~ stevenson Creek rlood
,control Project called Ph~ae 1, and '.,
Whereas, This Phase 1 project is inconsistent. with"both the Basin
Eoard policies and the policies of t.he state, regional and local
comprehensive Plans, and
WhercD,s, The 'Stevensc:m Ct"'Qek St:.cn:rnwater Project was designed. before
adoption of the Clearwater 3torm water utility fee ~nd completion
of th~ stevenson Creek Watershed Basin Plan, and
Whereas, the city of clearwater cannot propose reasonable natural
alternativ~ flood control m~asures until a ~atorshed Basin Plan is
completed, the~efore, be it
RESOLVED, That the League of Women Voters/North Pinellas
respectfully ~etitions the AnclotQ River Basin Board to ~ithhold
funding fo~ the stevenson Creek stormu~tet Project until:
1. The ci ty of Cl ean,fa t C't' has campI eted its !l t.udy of the
stevenson cr~ek Watershed Basin.
2. The ci ty 0 f c1 aa ~\oIa ter' has compI eted its study of a,
Natural Al ternative St'ormwater Drainage Plan' \.lhich would include
the purchas~ of va~ahl ~nd flood pron~ properties utili~in9 revenue

3. The- ' Ancl ote River Basin Board. is confident thnt. no
reu50nable alternative flood control measures are available which

Attribution Policy
Sub.; :
R8f: City Staff has recently been forced to correspond
with SWFWMD to clarify the'differing positions of the EAC
and thclse e~;pressed by Ms. Lanza in a l.et'~er- in which she
cited her EAC membership as one of her qualifications.
In view co" the signifi.:ant nLlmber ':If new EAC members, it may
be helpful to formalize the attributi6n policy which has
~reviously be~n discussed within the committee.
......All citizens have the right to express their opinion
to all branches of their government.
POLICY
It is inappropriate for members to cite their affiliation
with the EAC as a qualification for their viewpoint unless a
formally ad6pted EAC position, is being espoused, or the
contact is for the expiess pUrpose of soliciting and
obtaining citizens comments for subsequent EAC discussion.
'Citatiqn of EAC affiliation in conjunction with expression
of a personal opinion specifically at variance with a
formally adopted EAr:: position is misleading and should be
avoided. It is discourteous to other EAC committee members
to imply that t~ey agree with a personal minority view.
F-IACI<E'iROUND
Since April of 1991 the EAC has recommended ,storm-water
run-off attenuation, retention ponds and landpurchas8s to
minimize hardlining Stevensons Creek. The EAC endorses the
currently on-going City Staff review'of potential
alternatives which may enhance the quality of the run-off
watp.r entering the harbor.
The EAC has also recommended that th~ City move forward as
rapidly as possible on the Mid~Pinellas Regional Plan. This
motion passed unanimously at a recent meeting. It is
e~pected that funding and authorization of this effort will
benefit from anticipated SWFWMO support. The current EAC
,sndorsed plan for use of Clearwater Stormwater Utility funds
is predicated on receipt of major SWFWMD sUPP9rtive ,funding
f,=q- the I'Ii d-P i nell aG CO:lmpn::ll~ns i ve Wiat Br sh(;?d Managenlent
Plan. Ms. Lanza did not express the adopted majority view
of the EAC in her correspondence recommending that SWFWMD
funds be withheld.
The EAC distinguishes betweon recommending utilizing SWFWMD
funds to proceed with the planning function and recommending
additional physical hardlining. The Mid~Pinellas Plan is
nr~ither fLlndcd n,.:or aLd;h':,ri~:cd and ':':'l1sequently a date f':'r
completion, of ,improved alternative plans appears indefinite.

Re: Mid-Pinellas Regional Watershed Management Plan
Dear Mr. Martin:
. .....
,'.
,
" .
I have recently become a,.....mre of. correspondence 'to' you, as a member
'of the Southwest Florida ,Nater Hanagement District' (SWFWMD)
Governing Board, from Ms. Li'sa Lanza, requesting that funds be
withheld fpr the subject Plan until such time as a "Stevenson Creek
Watershed Plan" is adopted. while the City of Clearwater certainly
defends the rights of its citizens to express opinions about
projects that may affect them, I am compelled to write, to you 'in
this matter due to Ms. Lanza's reference to her membership on the
Clearwater Environmental Advisory Committee. The letter infers a
broader position not supported by the Environmental Advisory
Committee. '
'rhe Environmental Advisory Committee has neither supported nor
demonstrated a lack of support for a UStevenson Creek Watershed
Management Plan II since that subjec't has never been at issue.
Rather I the Environmental Advisory Committee has consistently
demonstrated strong support for the development of comprehensive
wa tershed management plans for' all basin s in Clearwater through
formal 'recommendat:ion to the City Commission (see
highlight/attached EAC Hinutes of February 12, 1992). Since
watershed management plarining in Clearwater would be funded through
a city-wide stormwater"utility, it is appropriate that planning
efforts sponsored by the utility fee be more broadly focused than
to limit 'the efforts to only one basin. In addition, the Committee
has also considered a recommenda tion to the City Commission to
postpone the Stey-enson Creek 'Project until such time as the Mid-
Pinellas Regional, Wa tershed Management Plan could be completed.
However, the Commi t,tee re jected tha t, electing rather to separate
the two iasues in favor of developing comprehensive watershed plans
(see highlight/nttached EAC "Draftil Minutes of January 14, 1993).
I,
Presently, the Southwest Florida Water Management District,
1'1ne1108 County, t:he City of Clearwater and adjoining municipal
'~overnments, are all working closely together to bring before the
'Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board, a program based in interlocal
cooperative agreements to develop a regional watershed management

program for mid-Piri~llas County. Stevenson Creek basin is among
several basins that will be evaluated by the Mid-Pinellas Plan.
Endorsement of the concept: by participa ting municipali ties and
Pinellas County, through the early review steps of thePinellas-
Anclote River Basin Board Cooperative Funding review process, has
been received. Water Management District Staff are now considering
the appl,ication for FY 1993/94 joint funding recommendation to the
Plnelllas-Anclote Board. Formal revi.ew and approval by
participating jurisdictions in the fOl~m of a joint interlacal
agreement is anticipated prior to Board approval.
I,
, I { .
The City of Clearwater h~s worked hard duringth'e"past year, and
'will continue to work hard, to develop a watershed planning concept'
consistent wj,th State Water Policy and regional/local comprehensive
plans. In, addition and for your infor.ma tion, the Public Works
Director has recently authorized a temporary delay of the Stevenson
Creek project to reconsider project alternatives aimed at reducing
certai,n 'project features fJ:om the project that earlier were
considered to be in the public interest. The goal of this new
developmen~ remains consistency with Regi.onal Comprehensive Plans.
Clearwater will continue to balnnce the beneficial use of its
natural-resources with available fi~cnl resources to achieve the
goal of protection and enhancemen t of its na turnl resources for all
of Clearwater's ci ti zens and Vi5i tors. I look fOr1'lard to the
co6peration. ~nd assistance of the Southwest Florida Water
Management District to help us achieve that goal.

UDr-aft for EAt:: Discussir::.n"
Letters to the Editor
St. Peter-sburg Times
P.O. Boy. 1121
St. Petersbur-g, Fl. 33731
Your, Sunday 7 February, editorial statgd that a majority of
th~ Clearwater Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) voted
"in favor of proceeding with a prcoJect that clealply was
damaging tl::O the envirclnment"l. The EAC did not vcd;e "tl:'
further damaqe the env i r onffient II. The EAC has been
~ ,
recommending sto~m-water run-off att~nuation, retention
p":,nds and land purchases, iM' plpeferenc'e to concrete,' since
its April 1991 review of the Stevenson Creek project.
During a recent Phase II status update discussion the EAC
wa~ advised, by City Env~ronmental Management Staff, that a
vol~ntary City review directed at reducing the 'previous
h~rdlining plans, was in process. Accordi~gly, the, EAC did
[lot sLlPpc'rt a motic,n to indefinitel'y "sLlspend activities
until the Mid Pinellas Comprehensive Watershed Management
Plan is ,=e'mple1;ed".
, .
Despi~e a favorable EAC recommendation that the city proceed
as rapidly as possible, the Mid-Pinellas Watershed
. J'1anagementpl an is neither fLlnded nc'\~ Ci\uth.::or iz ed 'and is
unlikely to be completed prior to 1995-96. As your
editcorial' pc,inted oLlt,an indefinite delay might cal.lse some
inconvenience tO,the citizens wh6se homes flood. The
,:omm i tt'ee . al SCo bel i eved it apprl:.pr i at e to aveJ id Llnnecessar y
deterioration of recently co~pleted efforts. The EAC hopes
that City Staff review will result in ti~ely and appropriate
recommendations and expects to review their acceptability.

CLEARWATER CITY COMMISSION .. 'SO
Agenda Cover Memorandum ~
SUBJECT: Implementation of Reclaimed Water System
RECOMMENDATION/MOTION: Consider data relative to the feasibility of constructing
a phased" city-wide reclaiJned water infrastructure system and direct staff as to
choice of alternate' implementation strategies.
DU And that the appropriate official be authorized to execute same.
BACKGROUND: In April 1990, Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. (COM), the City's water and
sewer consultant, completed a report entitled "Reclaimed Water Master Plan". The
report concluded that the city of Clearwater could install a city-wide reclaimed
water infrastructure system consisting of storage, pumping, transmission nlains,
and neighborhood service lines, in three phases, on a timetable of five years per
phase, at a total cost of $60 million. The report further concluded that the
system would be a viable financial venture and would involve a single-family
monthly user fee varying with the choice of the several alternates for
structuring the system's cost recovery.
since the publication of that report and the initial enthusiasm it engendered,
certain circumstances influencing the financial considerations of the system have
taken place. It seems unlikely now that the city could depend upon State
Revolving Fund financing for this project. When examining the expected monthly
bill for the use of reclaimed water at mUlti-family complexes and at open space
users, such as golf courses, it appeared necessary to reconsider how three
categories of users (single-family homes, multi-family units, open space) could
be charged in a manner Which would be acceptable to all of the three and generate
the necessary revenues.
The attached information from CDM represents alternate considerations for
strategizing the geography of the phased implementation, as well as the financial
choices for cost recovery. It can be seen that the expected monthly charge for
a single-family reclaimed water user varies from $17.99 for a residence in the
Countryside area; if done separately; with a Swiftmud grant in the amount of 50%
of the cost of transmiss5 ,I, storage, and pumping facilities; with a connection
fee of $250; and involving a Resource Development Surcharge against water and
sewer accounts within the Countryside area: to $40.84 per month for a single-
family residence in the Clearwater Beach service area; if done separately and
without grants, connection fee, or Resource Development Surcharge. The expected
rate structure involving mUlti-family units and open space areas varies also as
different parameters are applied and is equally complex.

RE: Reclaimed Wa~er System
CDM PN: 6349-19-EX
Dear Mr. Baker:
. Camp Dresser ,& McKee Inc. (CDM) evaluated several alternatives for expansion of
the city's reclaimed ....;ater system. The evaluations analyzed alternative service areas,
, estimates of construclion and operations costs, and user charge alternatives. This
letter summarizes the results of these evaluations and provides information for
potential, reclai met! water system expansion.
SERVICE AREAS AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS
The northeast area, Clearwater Beach, and the northwest area were considered for
initial reclaimed water system expansion. Utility records and land use maps were
reviewed to evaluate potential customer bases and potential reclaimed water demands
within each service area. The citis land use maps were used to determine the total
areas, in acres, of single family, multifamily, golf course and open space land within
each of .the reclaimed water system service areas. Potential reclaimed water system .
demands were then estimated based on expectelJ irrigation rat~s for these types 'of land
use. Reclaimed water could be made available for other land uses (Le. commercial,
office, etc.) but they are expected to have a relatively small effect on total reclaimed
water system demands, costs and revenues. ' .
Northeast (Countryside) Area
The Northeast Advanced Wastewater Treatment (A WT) Plant provides complete
wastewater treatment service for the entire northeast area of the city and the city of
Safety Harbor. The plant currently delivers reclaimed water to several existing sites
in the northeast area. Excess reclaimed water is discharged to Tampa Bay. The City
of Clearwater developed the Reclaimed Water Master Plan (CDM, 1990) to identify
the basis for, expanded reuse of reclaimed water for irrigation. The Master Plan
anticipated that the city would expand the existing system to provide reclaimed water
for residential irrigation throughout the northeast area of the city.

The area considered for initial reclaimed water system expansion includes the
following potential customer base:,
0 Single Family 2,924 units
0 Multifamily 2,818 units
0 Golf Course/Open Space
Existing Customers 385 acres
New Customers 40 acres
Extension of service to these new customers would require construction of a new
reclaimed water pump station and storage reservoir, additional transmission system
piping, and a distribution system. Grants provided by the Southwest Florida Water
Management District (SWFWMD) may be available to the city and cou~d reduce the
local cost for project construction. It is reasonable to expect that the city could
receive grams in the amount of one tUllf of the cost of the construction of the system
excluding the distribution network.
!
'I
"
Depending on the availability of grants, the cost of constructing a reclaimed water
system which would extend service throughout the northeast area is estimated to be as
, follows:
o
o
o
Construction Cost (wI a SWFWMD Grant)
Potentjal S\VF\VMD Grant
Construction Cost (w/SWF\VMD Grant)
$ 11,607,500
$ -3,393,362
$ 8,214,137
Clearwater Beach Area
Private irrigation wells are not generally suitable for irrigation in the Clearwater
Beach and Island ~states area. As a result, a reclaimed wate/ system could provide a
reasonable alternative to potable water use through lawn meters. CDM completed a
preliminary evaluation of a reClaimed water system which would serve the northern
portion of Clearwater Be.:1Ch and all of Island Estates.
The potential customer base in the Clearwater Beach and Island Estates area includes:
o
o
o
Single Family
Multifamily
Gulf Course/Open Space
1,379 units
1,276 ' units
37 acres
The Marshall Street Sewer Replacement project includes construction of a reclaimed
water transmission main from the Marshall Street A WT plant to Drew Street. A
separate leg of the reclaimed water transmission system will extend approximately
1,200 feet east through the Cleanvater Country Club. Extension of reclaimed water
service to Clearwater Beach/Island Estates would require construction of reclaimed

Expansion of the reclaimed water system would require substantial construction ,costs.
Customer charges for reclaimed water use would be high compared with existing
costs for private wells. Depending on the method of recovering project costs,
customer charges could be higher or lower than existing costs for potable water.
,Regulatory restrictions on the frequency and periods of irrigation will eventually
increase the attractiveness of reclaimed water relative to the use of either potable
water or private irrigation wells. However, as long as the continued use of private
irrigation wells is allowed under SWFWMD regulations and city ordinances, and, as
long as potable water is available for irrigation at relatively low costs, using lawn
meters, it is likely that residents who now use private irrigation wells or potable water
supplies would continue to use them in lieu of connecting to a reclaimed system. As
the use of wells and potable waler for irrigation becomes more restricted, the costs

and related user charges becomes higher and the 'costs and related user charges for
reclaimed system expansion become more economic,
Estimated user charges considered herein anticipate that reclaimed water system
. expansion would be financed through revenue bonds. Costs for financing, operation
liIld administration would be distribuled among system customers through monthly
billings based on either a schedule of fixed charges or on metered consumption.
,
Fixed Monthly Charges
A flxed monthly charge including restrictions on the use of private irrigation wells
would probably be the only effective method to assure repayment of projcct costs. A
fixed charge billing basis would assure project cost recovery through a schedule of
monthly fees which could be assessed, to landowners within the reclaimed watcr
service area. This fixed charge basis anticipates that all properties in a service area
would be charged for reclaimed water service. Similar schedules of charges for
reclaimed water systems developed in other areas arc based on equivalent residential
units (ERUs), Costs for facility construction and operation could be shared by all
customers according to their expected irrigation use which would be based on
permeable land area expressed as a number of ERUs: A reduced cost would be
available to large volume irrigation customers served directly from the major
reclaimed water transmission mains. Water system revenues lost due to the
elimination of lawn meter accounts within a service area would be recovered through
the reclaimed water user fees. . Customers who do not apply for service would al~o be
assessed a share of the cost but would be assured that service could be made available
at a future date.
Alternative funding methods were considered to estimate ranges of fixed monthly user
charges for the three potential service areas. The user chargeS developed in these
analyses consider that existing reclaimed waler system customers would be subject to
. the same user charges schedule as new customers. The range in charges results from
. the various combinations of revenue sources considered including utility surcharges,
connection fees, and grants. Within a service area, the lowest estimated monthly user
fees would be achieved by imposing a surcharge on sewer and water accounts within
the proposed reclaimed water service area, by requiring connection fees, and by
obtaining grants available through the Southwest Florida Water Management District
(SWFWMD). Elimination of these revenue sources would result in monthly user fees
which approach the higher ends of the ranges presented in this letter.
Preliminary estimates of the range of fixed monthly user charges are presented in
Tables I, 2 and 3. The ranges presented are based on the various combinations of
utility surcharges, connection fees and SWFWMD grants considered.

As previously discussed, in the absence of restrictions on the use of private irrigation
wells or of an assessment which requires all landowners within reclaimed water
service areas to, participate in project 'costs, the real demand for reclaimed water is
likely to result in significantly less than 100 percent participation in the northeast,
Clearwater Beach and northwest service areas. Because the utility records indicate
that the number of residents in the northeast and northwest areas' having a separate
,lawn and domestic meters is relatively low I providing reclaimed water on a voluntary
or subscription basis would probably result in user charges considerably higher than
presented in Tables 1 and 3.
Metered Consumption
The city's lawn meter program offers water customers separate Udomestic" and
"lawn',', meters and allows the city to separately meter water which is supplied solely
for outdoor uses. Because water use recorded by lawn meters is not assessed a sewer
charge, lawn meters are popular among customers who use the municipal water
system for lawn irrigation.
As an alterative to a schedule of fixed monthly charges, it appears reasonable to
consider using reclaimed water as an allernative supply to lawn meter customers and
recovering the costs for reclaimed, water system development from lawn meter
charges. \Vith a metered consumption billing basis for use through lawn meters
reclaimed water could substitute for potable water in specific areas. If reclaimed
water was supplied througlllawn meters, connection to the reclaimed water system
would be on a voluntary basis as now practiced for .Ie lawn meter program. A
single rate structure designed to provide revenue sufficient to offset the costs of
reclai'med water system construction and operation and all costs associated with
supplying municipal potable water for lawn irrigation would be applied to all lawn
meter customers. A reduced rate would be 'available for large~ volume irrigation
customers supplied \vith reclaimed water if they could only be serviced from the
major transmission mains. '
['
I
There are approximately 940 lawn meter accounts within the proposed Clearwater
Beach service area. The ratio of lawn meter accounts to domestic accounts is
approximately 60 percent. [Citywide, the ratio of lawn water accounts to domestic
accounts is approximately 14 percent.] Utility records from May and June 1992 show
that metered lawn irrigation by customers within the proposed service area exceeded
0.46 mgd. The city billed customers within the proposed service area a total of
$43,972 and $63,603 for metered lawn irrigation during May and June, respectively.
Based on total billings and on the number of lawn meter accounts, the average bill for
lawn meter accounts within the proposed Clearwater Beach service area during May
and June 1992 was $57.71 per month. This average includes large users (I-II2-inch,
2~inch and 3-inch meters) such as condominiums and city accounts (parks).
Excluding these large users, and recognizing that consumption during May and June

exceeded the annual average, it appears that over the past year lawn metered
customers within this service area paid an averagc monthly bill of approximately
$40.67 pcr month.
CDM evaluated the feasibility of providing reclaimed water to' customers within the
Clearwater BcachlIsland Estates area on a vcluntary basis, Based on lawn meter
records of the past year, it appears that a 7.5 percent increase in lawn metcr rates
citywidc would be required in order to offset project costs. A slightly higher increase
in lawn. meter rates would provide surplus funds for additional extensions of the
reclaimed water system.
If lawn meter rates were increased by 7.5 percent, the average customer bill in the
Clearwater Deach area would increase to about $43.11. Large volume irrigation
customers served directly from reclaimed water transmission main~ major '
transmission mains would be assessed a reduced rate of approximately $0.52 per 100
cubic feet of reclaimed water consumption.
, .
, ,
Summary
The estimated project costs for any of the alternatives considered are substantial.
, However, use of reclaimed ~ater for irrigation could offer several advantages over
the continued use of city-supplied potable water: (1) the estimated cost can be lower;
(2) the amount of water which purchased from Pincllas County can be reduced; (3)
irrigation using reclaimed water would not be subject to the potable water use
restrictions; and (4) groundw.' '..:r withdrawals by private irrigation wells would be
reduced. It is likely that these groundwater withdrawals impact the city's ability to
produce water from its wellfieldl however, no attempt has been made to determine the
extent of this impact.
Based on the further evaluations summarized herein, ,it appears reasonable to further
consider the construction of a reclaimed water system to serve the Cleanvater Beach
area. The recovery of costs for such a system should be considered by adjustments to '
the lawn irrigation rates. Unless residents of the northeast and northwest areas
respond favorably to consideration of an assessment) it appears that expansion of the
reclaimed water system in the northeast 'and northwest areas is not now economic. If
restrictions on the use of private irrigation wells or potable water supplies for lawn
irrigation become more stringent, additional consideration of expansion of reclaimed
water service, with project cosl recovery through an assessment or metered
consumption, may be appropriate.

Ref: City Staff has recently been forced to correspond
with'SWFWMD to clarify the differing positio~~ of the EAC
and those expressed by Ms. Lanza in a letter in which she
cited' her EAC membership as one of her qualifications.
In view cof the signifi,:ant number ':1' new EAC members, i'~ may
be helpful to formali~e the attributi6n policy which has
previously b~en discussed within the committee.
......AIl citizens have the right to express their opinion
to all branches'of'their government.
POLICY
It is inap~~op~iate foy members to cite their affiliation
with the EAC as a qualificat'ion for their viewpoint unless a
formally adopted EAC position is being espoused, or the,
contact is for the express purpose 'of soliciting and
6btaining citizens comments for subsequent EAC discussion.
Citation of EAC affiliation in conjunction with e~pression
of a p~rsonal opinion specifically'at variance with a
formally adopted EAC position is misleading and should be
avoided. It is discourtec'Lls tb other EAC committee membe\~s
to i~plY that they agree with a personal minority view~
BACKGROUND
Sirice April of 1991 the EAC has recommended storm-water
run-off attenuation, retention ponds and land purchases to
minimize hardlining Stevensons Creek. Ths EAC endorses the
currently on-going City Staff review of potential
alternatives which may enhance the quality of the run-off
water entering the harbor.
The EAC dis~ingui5hes betwean recommending utilizing SWFWMD
funds to proceed with the planning function and recommending
additional physical hardlining. The Mid-Pinellas Plan is
neither fundad nor authori~ed and consequently a d~te for
cc.mpleticm, of .impl~c,ved altel~native plans 'appears indefinite.
The EAC has' also recommended that the City move forward as
rapidly as possible on the Mid-Pinellas Regional Plan. This
motIon passed unanimously at a recent meeting. It is
expected that funding,and' authorization of this effort will
benefit from anticipated SWFWMO support. The current EAC
endorsed plan for use of Clearwater Stormwater Utility funds
is piedicated on, receipt of major SWFWMD supportive funding
fo~ the Mid-Pinellas Comprehensive Watershed Management
Plan. Ms. Lanza did not express the adopted maJoYity view
of the EAC in her correspondence recommending that SWFWMD
funds be'withheld.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 ,BACKGROUND AND AUTI-lORIZATION
, ,
The City of Clearwater has proposed improvements for an existing 16' x 7' concrete
box culvert located under Druid Road at Allen's Creek.
On Janual)' 15, 1993, RS&H was authorized by the City of Cleanyater to perform
computer modeling on three alternatives to determine the most cost~effective
alternative for replacing the existing culvert. The project location is shown on
Figure ].
1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The p'urpose of this report is to provide the City of Clearwater a comprehensive
hydraulic analysis for the proposed culvert replacement under Druid Road at Allen's
Creek. The three alternatives proposed for culvert replacement are described as
follows:,
. Alternative lA: 450 skewed culvert using 24' x 9' Con Span Bridge
Systems with natural bottom.
Alternative lB: 450 skewed culvert using 24' x 9' Con Span Bridge
Systems with concrete lined bollom.
Alternative 2: Double 90~ bend culvert using 24' x 9' Con Span,
Bridge System with CC'1crcte lined bottom.
The City of CleaI\\'ater's proposed stormwater facilities is incorporated into the
Allen's Creek Model in order to perform computer modeling and culvert analysis
for the 25-year and lOO-year storm even~s for existing conditions. A detailed written
report to discuss the three alternatives in terms of hydraulics, stage~discharge
relationships, headloss, scouring and constructability is also provided. Computation
results suitable for submittal to Southwest' Florida Water Management (SWF\VMD)
and/or other regulatory agencies is 'included in the report.
An Engineer's Opinion of Construction Cost for the three alternatives is included
in this report. Any changes resulting from these analyses were reflected with a
IImark-upll on the owner-provided plan.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 DRAINAGE PATTERN
The upper portion of Allen's Creek Watershed consists of approximately 681 acres
with gentle slopes that direct surface runoff water towards Allen's Creek. The creek
collects the stormwater and flows south through the existing 16' x T box culvert
under Druid Road. A two-stage weir under Magnolia Street creates Lake Julia
down~tream of the culvert with elevations of 43.03 and 43.99. Conditions upstream
include a small creek with brush, trees, or large rocks that help prevent bank
erosion, Figure 2 shows the existing topography for this area.
The watershed is located just ,south of the Clearwater Executive Airport to Druid
Road with the western boundary at Keystone Drive and the Eastern Boundary at
Belcher Road,'" ' ,
~. ,.: .
I .
2.2 . SOIL CONDITIONS
Soils within' th'e project site consist of Urban land - Astatula complex (Ue), Made
land (Ma), w~ich are found primarily in urban developments.
1\1ade land (Ma) is a non,-hydric soil that consists qf mixed sand, clay, hard rock,
shells, and shell fragments that have been transported, reworked, and leveled by
earthmoving equipment. Made land can be underlaid by a variety, of soils, including
bay bottom or tidal swamp. Made land occurs in developed areas and is usually
poor soil for plant growth. Drainage and other soil properties are variable and
dependent on the characteristics of the parent material. Hydrologic soil type of
Made Land is n~r : ~entified by the ~oil Conservation Service (SCS).
Urban land - Astatula complex (Uc) consists of 30 - 70% Astatula fine sand, of
which 10 - 20% has been modified by cutting, grading, and shaping. About 25 -
40% of this complex is Urban land associated \\~th houses, industrial buildings, other
struct~res, and pavement. The parent material, Astatula fine sand, is considered
. excessively drained. Urban land (Uc) is no~ ,identified with a hydrologic soil type.
These soils are shown by location on the soils map on Figure 3.
. 2.3 FLOODING CONDITIONS
The northern portion of Allen's Creek is located within zone C or minimal flooding
areas, Flood zone information was obtained from the Flood Insurance Rate.1\1ap

3.0 METHOD OF ANALYSIS
3.1 COMPUTER MODELING
The City of Clearwater's proposed stormwater facilities is incorporated into the
SWMM (RUNOFF/EXTRAN BLOCK) of Allen's, Crcek model to perform
hydrologic/hydraulic computation and provide culvert analysis, for the 25-year and
IOO-year storm events. The 25-year and lOO-year rainfall depths are 9 inch u'nd 12,
inch, respectively as identified by SWFWMD rainfall. map, \vhich are used for
modeling input.,
A portion of the model from Allen's Creek Watershed Management Plan was
extracted in order to model three alternatives for a 24' x 9' Con Span Bridge;
System.
The Drainage Basin Map, Figure 5, identifies the total watershed used for the
, modeling and Figure, 6 presents the Hydraulic Connectivity Diagram.
4.0 PROPOSED CONDITIONS
4.1 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed improvements include a culvert replacemeut under Druid Road at
Allen's Creek, a s~ormwater detention pond south of Druid Road on the \vest side
of Allen's Creek, and additional roadway pavement (2880 square feet) on the north
side or Druid Roael.
Alternatives lA and IB will provide a smaller pond or' approximately 0.4 acres
compared to alternative 2, which can accomodate a larger pond of approximately
'0.6 acres. An existing 18" eMP wilt discharge stormwater runoff into the pond from
approximately 2 acres of 30% impervious land. A control structure and outfall pipe
,will discharge stormwatcr from the pond intO. the proposed sediment sump located
at the con'span outlet.
,
Pavement widening for Druid Road will require 240 cubic feet of treatment storage
based, on 1" of runofr from 2880 square feet of pavement. Treatment storage

4.2 COMPUTER OUTPUT
, '
Si,mulated llydrautic results, including maximum flowrates, velocity and headwater
elevations for the alternatives have been ,compared to the conditions created by the
existing culvert as shown by Table 1. Appendix Band C contain the input data and
output results, respectively.
4.3, ENGINEER'S OPINION OF CONSTRUCTION COST
Construction"cost estimates include 24' x 9' Con Span Bridge systems with
hcadwalls, strip footings and the optional concrete lined bottom, Excav~tion of
roadway and ponds, removal and addition of pipes, and rcplacemellt of the roadway
are also include'd. Roadway pavement grades were assumed to remain the same
as existing grades, therefore, earth fill and the relocation of drainage systems due
to any roadway elevation changes are' not' included. Protection of existing' utilities
(water and sewer) were not included but are a common cost. Cost estimates for
Alternatives IA, lil, and 2 are shown in Table 2 with breakdown costs in Appendi.\':

5.0' . EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1
HYDRAULICS '
, '
During a 25-ycar and IOO-year storm event the existing 16' x 7' box culvert would
have maximum headwater elevations of 48.21' and 51.95' respectively. Druid Road
'pavement elevations arc approximately elevation 51.0', which will be QVertopped
during the 100 year storm event.
The naturnllined boltom, Allernative "lA, produces the lowest velocities which are
approximately hnlf of the existing structures' velocities. During the design storm
events the velocit1cs arc still high enough to create scouring between the natural

bottom and strip footing according to Table 7-1 of the Drainage Manual, State of
~lorida Department of Transportation. Maximum allowable velocities can be found
on Table 3. Headwater elevations were the highest of the three uI'ternatives for
both design events.
I
Alternative IB provides the lowest headwater elevations during the 25-year and 100-
year storm events. In fact, the headwater elevations were reduced almost 4 feet
during the lOa-year event. Stage-discharge relationships were the most efficient
forthis culvert compared to the other alternatives, however, the highest velocities
were- also produced her~ during the 25-year storm event.

','
The double 900 bend culvert, Alternative 2, produced average velocities, headwater
elevations and stage-discharge relationships for the proposed alte,rnatives. Provided
'with this, culvert is a concrete bottom which will pro,tect the footing from the high
velocities found during the design storm events.
'.
5.2
,
CONSTRUCT ABILITY
"
The existing utilities, water and sewer pipes create potential problems for all three
alternatives. Common conflicts include 1211 cast iron water main under the wing
walls on the north side of Druid Road and a 8" sanitary sewer crossing inside the
structure on the south side. Alternative 2 provides additional conflicts which include
an 8" sanitary, sewer crossing perpendicular under Druid Road and three storm
pipes which require removal and connection into the culvert.
'r '
The Con Span Bridge System will encounter a maximum top elevation of 50.83
which will elevate the existing pavement elevations approximately 2 feet and change
existing )aw points along the roadway. A 24' x 8' Con Span may be more de~irable
if higher pavement elevations are not desired.
5.3
, CONSTRUCfION COSTS
Alternatives lA & IB clearly provide the minimum costs far culvert replacement.
Alternative 2 encountered additional construction costs mainly due to three factors.
The major factor being the additional con span bridge sections needed to
accomadatc the double 9!Y' bends. Other major costs in'eluded the excavation and
replacement of Druid Road and the pond enlargement.

CONCLUSION &,RECOMMENDATION
Southwest Florida Water Management District would prefer a natural bottom for
bridge systems, however, due to high velocity and scour, Alternative lA would not
be recommended. '
Alternative IB does provide a concrete lined, bottom to help prevent scour. In
addition, Alternative IB produces the lowest headwater elevations during the 25-
year and 100~year, storm events and the best stage-discharge, relationship.
Construction costs are considered moderately low.
Alteniative 2 prevents scour with a concrete l~ned bottom and provides a larger
detention pond but at a high cost, and consequently, not recommended.
Therefore, with all aspects taken into consideration Altemative,lB appears to be
the most reasonable culvert for the replacement of the existing 16' x 7' box culv~rt
under Druid Road.
,,"
Alternative IB will decrease the maximum head water elevation almost 4.0. feet
. during a' IOO-year storm event and substantially improves, the existing conditions.
The stage-discharge values will be improved significantly during the lOO-year storm
event and velocity will decrease in half. Overall, the proposed improvements will
benefit the existing conditions and provide adequate upstream and downstream
conditions. '

Dear' Tom:
Please ask the EAC at its February ,meeting to review the enclos-
ed letter to Commissioner Degan and consider it for ,a recommendation
that thedity determine the economic and environmental benefits of
the suggestion revision in the processing of shrub and tree ,trlm-
. m'lngs .' 'Thanks.
, .
Since th~ Stevenson Creek Ph II is in ~imbo why not investigate
some of my previous suggestions to inject ,storm water into the shal-
low aquifer to increase the local ground water that the City can pump
from its wells.
I suggest some stevenson Creek 'funds to subsidize a pilot pio-
ject that, would collect storm water' runoff from .the roof of Sunshine
Mall, skim oil and settle solids in a tank with two or ,three'stage
water cleaning sections. Then inject it about 30 feet into the'shal-
low aquifer below the clay ,that maintains shallow ground water for
.zhallow wells. Another method was the storm sewer pipe me~h6d we
discussed some time ago. ~hen adequate amounts' of storm water is
,diverted to the sh~llow aquife~ it will:
,
Push back salt w~ter intrusion and some the plugged wells can be'
unplugged as the salt ~ater is push out from under Clearwater.
2. Reduce the chance of a flood.

These are two areas that you can do to accomplish a lot of good
for the, citizens of Clearwater.
Sincerely,
Peter Reuter, Concerned Consumer', Environmentalist, t~xpayer, and

Dear Commissioner Deegan:
I have trimmed a number of trees ahd have ~. large amount of tree
and shrub trimmings that I would like to 'use as mulch on my property.
'I llave called tree services with chippers to find out the cost to use
~ chip~er for 1/2 hour. The quotes are' $125. and $100. This is not
reasonable just to be willing to keep my tree trimmings on my prop-
erty as mulch when' the city is expending tax dollars wastefully in
the following manner:
I believe the city Sanitation Dept. is wasting tax dollars when
it collects trimmings from trees and bushes and hauls them to the
County Mulch Recycling Center.
The County then chips up the, trimmings and mulches the chips
with grass clippings.
then hauls the mulch back to several locations in
few concerned citizens to pick up for use on their
homeowners do not have vehicles to haul the mulch to
suggested solution follow:
The City
Clearwater for a
property. Most
their homes. My
1. City to modify a chipper to direct the chips into a city trash
bar~el modified by adding bicycle size wheels for easy movement
to the area of property the homeowner wants to use the chips as
a mulch. The bottom could have a latch and hinge so it can open
to allow chips to be spread on the homeowners property.
2. Chipping on site will reduce 5' to 7 loads of brush into one
load! This will save hauling' and County dumping fees.
'3. County spends tax dollars to chip, turn mulch and requires a lot
of land to m~lch the Chips and grass.
4. City or County expends tax dollars to haul the mulch back to the
city.
5., I list of homeowners that will accept extra chips could, be
,~aintained and the chips of homeowners who do not want to mulch can
be dumped on their properly.

6. Homeowners have to purchase mineral fertilizers to replace the
minerals removed in the tr immings when ,1 t is not mulched back
into the soil.
"
Please 'have the
present process VS. on
homeowners property.
"benefits are there to
soon as staff presents
owners would be willing
more expensive than the
Environment Dept. evaluate the cost of the
site chipping and disposal of chips on the
I believe the economics and' environmental
make it feasible to initiate the service as
its report to the Commissioners., Most home-
to pay a small fee for this service if it is
present processes.
When the city, only offers removal' of tree trimmings from my
property itl.s violating my Naturat 'RelIgion Tenet, "From dust' it
camej to dust in the soil from ,which it came."
Removal, of grass, shrub or tree trimmings is raping the, home-
owners prop~rt~ of, its minerals that oui Creator put there to: sustain
life on ou; planet earth. It i's waste ful of energy," environment and
tax 'dollars to remove minerals in the trimn\ings, and homeowners doll-
ars to purchase minerals that come from costly and environmentally
destructive mining operations!
Thanks for your' assistance to save tax dollars, reduce, the
tonnage of trimmings in the county recycling'system and make it move
convenient for 'horn~ownersto recycle their trimmings!.
Healthfully,
