This Is a list of-Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies that have not been implemented by a specified date with quesl10ns rmd cornmcmts. NOTE: Any changes made to the comprehensIve plan must undergo a detailed formal process, advertisement and Stale revIew. ~s. 16.2 Objective - Stormwater management plan ... to begin by 1990 and to begin implementation by 1992. Dependent on the stormwater management plan are Objectlves16.4, 16.6 and 17.1 which have ~lso passed the\r Implementation dates. How Is the City meeting the requirements of this -objective? Is there a storrnwater . management plan? Does the City have the authorIty to prepare and Implement watershed management plans wIthout contractual agreement by SWFVVMD? What Is the legal authority? Does SWFW~D and/or Plnellas County t1ave the legal responsibility to develop stormwater management plans for waters of the state? Each of the above ObjectIves contain PolicIes that have passed their dates. The. Implementation of a stot'mwater managemenl plan program may be more difficult than previously thought by the Comprehensive Plan writers. , The EAC may desIre to, consIder these recommendations: · Increase' Environmental Group staff in watershed management department to achieve the stated goals as soon as possible. · Hire a consultant firm to begin a watershed marmgement plan as soon as possible as per the RFP dated May 28, ,1991. ' · Require Environmental Group to begin n watershed management program ASAP In whatever form is possible with current slaff and under current condltlons. · It Is the responsibility of SWFWMD and Pinellas County to prepare and Implement watershed management plans. The ctty should request SWFWMD and/or Plnellas County to prepare a watershed management plan for the city. · If the City can show that there Is a best eHort being made to achieve the stated goals then extend tile dates by 1990, through 1993 to lIby 1995", This wlll prevent legal actions from b~lng brought, which mny furthE!r complicate the mattnr and may cause , addlllonal delClYs, and plFlce the Oblecllve!'\ In n rrwllstlc time fra.rne,~!;, \. ~/;~~'~:','\.'<:':'.' :--::( ,,~',' ;, ", j ~ \ . . ~' ~ , " , . ~ '.

Is thIs Ob)ectlve requirement being met? Does the city have a Flood Damage Ordinance or a FloodPlain Management Ordinance? P~nellas County has a Floodplain Management Ordinance that applies to Incorporated areas (83-21). Does this ordinance satisfy 22.2? If so, Is this ordinance being enforced . by the City? , The EAC may desIre to consider these recommendations: · Prepare a floodplain ordinance which wlll, protect the floodplain Including requirements that will preve~t new construction in the 25 year floodplain and require a setback for building adjacent to streams and water bodies of either 3 times the width of the stream or 50 feet (whichever is greater) or some greater requIrement. ' · 'Require enforcement of County ordinance 83-21, Floodplain Man'agement,whlch affects entire County. · Require the ad~p.tlon of a flood damage ordinance slmHar to County ordinance 77 ~ 12 which serves to minimize public and private loss do to flood conditions, and protects . ,natural floodplains and prolecUve barriers. 22.3 Objectlve- Maintain and enhance wildlife and native vegetation by May 1990. , . What Is being done to satisfy this Objective? The City Is actively removing Brazilian pepper. When pepper Is removed Is native vegetation being planted? The EAC may desire to consider these recommendations: · Train ditch crews In the propagation and protection of some beneficial native plants especially In aquatic areas, roadsIdes and parks where norm~1 weeding activitIes occur. This may also help reduce weeding and spraying requirements in the future. · Prepare public Information about native plants to encourage homeowners to buy' and plant native species. : · The new Tree OrdInance satlsflefj the reqL/lrern~nl of Policy 22.3.5 '. . . ,'. ~':':~;;.:~;\::i;".?;' .. ..' . .

APPENDIX D DACKGROUND Chapter' 40 CFR Part 122 requires, t:he protection of surface ,waters in' part through the development of stormwater management plans. State Water Policy, Chapter 17-40, F.A.C. has established as the goal of surface water management programs to protect, preserve and restore the quality" quantity, and environmental values of ';later resources through programs that include effective stormwater management for existing and new systems, vhich shall seek to protect, maintain and rest6re the functions of natural systems and the beneficial uses of waters. ,Pinellas' County's Comprehensive Growth Management Plan,also includes this ~irective but adds significant' detail to the direction through 9ther- policies and goals making these management plans very comprehensive and holistic in nature and extending the planning area to the uplands within 'the watershed (AppeI'1;dix C.1). . J The City of Clearwater Comprehensive Growth Management Plan reaffirms these directives (Appendix, C. 2) as does that of the Cities of Dunedin (Ap'pendix 'C.3), Largo (Appendix C.4), Safety Harbor (Appendix C.5), and the Town of Bellealr (Appendix C.G). OBJECTIVES The objective of this project is to apply an integrated resource management approach to the water quality/quantity problems ,throughout the mid Pinellas watersheds in a cooperative effort in order to determine the most' appropr~ate structural and non- structural solutions to problems, with emphasis placed on non- structural solutions. , , Watershed' basins to be studied include those of Stevenson, Curlew, Alligator,. Mullet, Bishop, Briar, Allen's and Belleair Creeks three Coastal basins and Clearwater Beach Island. I],'he initial ,work effort recognizes the need to maximize all available information and' resources. It is with this consideration that although, Allen's Creek and Alligator' Creek. are indentified as basins under consideration in this project, only that work not ,being addressed by, current or ongoing studies already funded for these basins will be undertaken. " , ' This project will conduct a diagnostic evaluation of the watersheds in the mid pinellas area in order to identify problems requiring loanagement. This diagnostic evalu~tion shall, at a ,minimum include, monitoring of water quality and sediment quality at multiple locations within the creeks of designated watersheds " and' tributaries, identification of all drainage channels, ditches and storm sewer systems and th'eir outfall s and inlets in the' watershed; identification of the individual sub basins providing " , I 8 ~, .-..", , . ". .. I, =,.- ,'. \ " . ~ . . 7' ~. , , , , " t '" ,'~ " , ' '", t > .> '" " . ,} , " , drainage '1:,0 ,each storm sewer sys tern and' the acreage of each specific land use type within each sub basin~ identification of those areas within the watershed for which treatment of st.orm water has,been provided; ideniification of ihdustries, hazardous waste sites, or othe~ potential sources of water pollution within the watershed, and an evaluation of their performance; and any other 'specific studies deemed necessary to characterize the environmental conditions within the' watershed.' ,Additional ecosystem characterization 'shall be required where basin conditions indicate the need for further study. The pro~ect 'is t6 develop a linked watershed and waterbody model, in Public Domain, for included watersheds to evaluate various proposed activities in terms of potential impacts on water quality and quantity, and to ~valuate potential management strategies (structural, non-structural, BMP's, source controls, etc.) in terms of their potential' for wa ter quality improvement and stormwater management. 'rhe project is to develop a comprehensive watershed based management plan, encompassing uplands, wetlands" surface waters, subsurface waters; and management by public ag~ncies, public poJ,icy and public law. The ,watershed management plan is to be prepared in such ,a 'manner ,as to aid the GROUP in meeting the Goals and Objectives of th~ir respective Comprehensive Growth Management, .Plansr and in meeting the requirements of Chapter 17-40, FAC, and of 40CFR Part 122. The MANAGEMENT,' PLhN will provide recommendations for site specific physical improvements as well as policy improvements, such as the establishment of specific man~gement practices and stricter regulations, and implementation priorities. . The MANAGEHENT' PLAN will' develop . a beneficial/reasonable use level of service and a method to de'termine project benefit costs,. The MANAGEMENT PLAN will also include a review of mitigation banking and a long 'range funding' plan for improvements for the wa tershed. , ,'The MANAGEMENT PLAN will maintain and enhance the current balance of living resources through the inclusion of upland buffers adjacent to, wetlands, options to preserve or restore native upland and wetland vege ta ti ve communi ties and habi ta ts , and to remove ecologically undesirable vegetation. The PLAN will also' include recommendations for ongoing monitoring to deJl10nstrate improvements to water quality, and' ecological conditions brought. about as a result of recommended projects, programs, ordinances, and policies. .
