Washingten, D. o. 20460 Dear Ms. Brovnert Enclosed is letter presentod to the City Oommissioners ot Olearwater, Florida July 1, 1993. Tho Oommissioners are to make a deoision regarding tho most beautiful ar~a loft in Pinellas Oounty August 1. Oonsideration of development of this uniquu aroa fer rontal properties oooms beyond oomprehension with tho dearth of open area in ovordevel.ped Pinellao Oounty and its location en Old Tampa Bay. This property Dn old Tampa Bay has the only virgin bluff botWOOD hore an~ Apalachicola; it also 0011tains a otnnd .r raro marsh hickory treaD in addition to magnificent old .aka. I don't think that anyone would disputo the fact that this is the moat beautiful opot in Pinellaa County with tho oharm,of .Old Florida.- I would have made my effort towards preasrvatien of this area long before had I known it was subject for aale; I had boen asaured by othere that it would not be aold. Only rDcontly did I learn that th~re 1s a drainage pipo emptying its potroleum byproducta and other deetruotiyo residue frem a 55 plua aor~ shopping mall (Clearwater Mallon Highway 60 and U. S. 19) from tho prGp~rty under oon- s1derat'ion by developers directly into Old Tampa Bay with no purif'icll t10n system in place. H.w much ~ore development can Old Tkmpa Bay abserb? I was vary happy to read in the st. Poteroburg Timos .r July 7 that Florida will h~v~ stricter laws regarding the env1ronmDnt. However, it appoars that this ono remaining jewel in this arD& will be destroyed unless thero io prompt action before Auguat 1. Clearwater has a nowly formed Environmental Advisory Oommitteo of ten (10); the Chairman i. Harold W. HWlt, 81,-461-55}8. In ~dditicn to preserving this area aa a preserve and non-pollutor, this small gem should be viewed from the atandpoint ofdlistorical oignificance. Young Mr. Pearce of the .riginal Pearce owners went to Spain in the 20'0 for the root stock of the Valenola Orange. As you can see from the poop sheet, the name ~Beville. h~s been known since the 1800's_ Rabbits run allover the place and it appears ~o be Q sanotuary for birds. It is crimin~l to think of something so precious being destroyod f'or the sake af a quiok profit. Tho Developer has a history ot turhing over their propertloe in two (2) to Beven and one-h~lr y~arD. What will pollution f'rom cars in'~57 rental units do to the surrounding irreplaceable ~roes in their ingress and egrUSG from their property7 Trees are the henrt of -Beville- which was built in the Spanish style as a retirement home. I like to think .r thaae original Gwnors atill alive and those, who h~vo gone on with leva in their hearts f.r Seville as caretakers of this oherished bit .t land for futuro goneratione. ~cortllY" -:I P-4-00t__>-w-V ~~ ~lean.r Robert.-/ 133 'I: [ " , I, July 1, 1993 Respectfully submitted to the cOlranissioners o[ the ci t.y of C.t€':nt1"n.l~er. Re: Proposed qevelot:m1ent of 224 rental units on 22 acres of Old Tampa Day land just east of Seville BoulaVilrd. Proposed by "7,oomll Cormnuni tics Inc. and to be called Bayside ^rL~rs. May it please the commissioners to consider the following points concerning this proposed d,eveloprnent. whic~ is of concern not only to Sevi 11e in11[]bitants but to the entire Bai' /\rea in as much LIS it is unique with the only vi rgin bluff from here to Apalachicola and contains some rare marsh hickory as well as large oaks. This proposed developnent ,.;ould be al; the back of the already OXi31~illg Seville " Boulevard. "Boulevard" in this case is a misnomer in as much as it. does not fit the DOT description of boulevard except at the 'entrance. The rest or the road is one lane in ,each direction. This road was originally constructed 22 plus yenrs ago to serve as a private road for the seville cOl!lplcx. It 'las never intended to serve for general public use such as rnallshopping traffic, city buses/mall delivery trucks, a thorOu~lfare'between Gulf-to-Bay and US Hwy 19, a roadway over private land to Old Tampa Beach or to provide for the traffic engendered by 224 rental units with attendant guests, service truc)\"s, etc. The present condition of this road attests to the fact, that t.his small road was not designed to handle this amount of traffic! For many yeilrs there has been concern over the safety of elderly citizens crossing this road. There is no assurance the increased traffic caused by the proposed 2211 uni t.s ,dll not spread into other roads in Seville. Doc\;ors t.ell their patients to ual!{i, they need safety when they do so. Dacking out of parking spaces is generally ,'a slow process for older people and increased traffic could be unnerving. Seville has been knO'ffl to have a low criMe rate;'however, in the last two or ,three yoars ''ie have had a rise in incidents as has the rest of the nation. We fear'that with a new pevelopment we may find ourselves leading the area in increased crime. The buildings comprising Seville are reminiscent of "Old Floridatl. The owners take pride in their buildings. It cnnnot be assured thal~ rental units over a number of years will maintain this type of constant care. The residents ,of Seville have been told that they and these new properties will be separated by a chain-link or "some kind of \'lrought iron" fnnce.. .This can hardly have aesthetic quality., In addition it was stated that a security gate will be f .r(:,\ '~'7,~:' >'I\':I:~: '.

For over .t~lenty years the residents of Sevilla have been assured t.he privilege of walk- ing along the roadway and the beach of Old Tampa Bay. Official records reveal that the Qocwnents of all nine condominium associat:;.ions give the legal descrip- tion of Seville as "all the land" "lithin the serpentine walls 011'the north and south; US 19 to the west and Old Tampa Bay to 'the east, inCluding 18 acres of 'submerged lund. According to the Plot Plan of Zoon~ dCVGlopnent, buildings 11, 12, and 14 of Seville would overloolc a large dumpster area with all ~ts cumulative problems. 'This is a fur- cry from a view of, th~ bay' and totally unacceptable. Seville , . buildings each have well-eared-for storage roo~ in which dumpsters are ltept and only brought out on pick-Up days. Can the pbllution from so many automobiles be assessed on the ,human and natural environr.l',mt level? The passage of so many automobiles through Seville to renta~ properties can only lead to devaluation of property values at Seville. The ~~OOM COlt'ununities INC. can surely find another area which will render a fast , , profit. 1~e grounds surrounding 'Seville have been described by envir~nmen- talists as thQ I1most beautiful in this areall. Would it not better serve resi- dents of Seville, City of Clearwater, Pinellas County, State of Florida and the enviro~cntal world to taJ~e time to form some type of committee for long term planning?

Clearwater Public Works/Environmental Allen Maybeny, Clearwater Urban Forester Mike Quillen, Clearwaler Water Resource Engineer. Public Works/Environmental, DRC Member' Gall McGlathery and Patty Sanphy of the Clearwater Greens Angela Lanza, Daughter of Ms. Lanza The meetIng was at the undeveloped property called 8ayside Arbors next to Tampa Bay at the end of Seville Road. The purpose of the meeting was for the EAC to visit and study the site of a proposed development by Zorn Communities.lnc, ' , The meeting was called to order a~6:30 PM by the acting chairman, Mr. Foley. Mr. Miller was asked to direct a tour of the site, '. Mr, Miller delivered a report (REG02-01l-08-03) which describes the DRC sile Plan Review Status (Attached). Mr. Quillen described a meeting of the DRe on July 8, 1993, minutes of which are in the report. He also described the chart in the repo,rt. ' , Mr. Morris commented that this large development of 224 apartment units has received much faster processing than his small business sign application received. Mr. Foley commented that the DRe meeting only lasted 25 minutes according to the enclosed minutes, \ , ' Mr. Mayberry stated that an earlier on site meeting with the City had occurred in late April. i. ' Ms, Lanza asked Mr. Mazur why, as a former member of,the EAC and knowing of the EAC desire to review sites such as the one under con~ideration. had he not requested EAC review of this development earlier. Mr. MHler suggested that was not fair to ask that question, ' Mr. Mazur was asked how much did the property sell for. He said that was a matter of record. Mr. Morris asked Mr: Miller why the EAC was not notified before the City Commission meeting (July 1, 1993). Mr. Miller stated that he wished he had been aware of it earlier, and that sa m~ny things were going 'on in his department that he was not always alerted to everything as soon as he would like to be. He also said that he expected the commissioners , wou'ld refer this plan to the EAC. ' , ," P. Sanphy asked how the new tree ordinance would affect Ihls planned development. Mr. Mayberry answered that the new ordinance would afford great protection for existing trees. ' Allen Mayberry continued to describe the silo as having three major components: 1) Tampa Bay shoreline 2) Bluffs 3) Uplands. He led/the group to the first grove of large trees and described how the main entrance road would wind through the large trees: He described which trees would stay and which would be removed, He said that the trees on the site were original trees and second growth and that the understory over much of the site had been cleared In the past. He said that much of the site had been mowed and much of the ground cover was not natIve, but of introduced type~. Ms. 41nza asked about the stormwater issues on the site, Mr, Quillen stated that there were two basic issues: 1) On site and 2) drainage through the site. He said that on site stormwater would be required to meet SWFWMD permitting requirements. ~~-/ . / , ~' " ", Mr. Mayberry led the group to another stand of very large troes. He identified the Hickory and Live Oaks. He said that the Hickory along tho bluff may be the Ii nest stand lelt in Clearwater, Ms, Melkonian asked how many of the trees would be removed. Mr. Quillen statod that there were approximately 15,000 diameter Inches of trees on the site and that 10.000 diametor inches would remain. ' Mr. 'MaYbe~ry stated that some replacement of trees would likely be requirod lor trees rcmoved. Mr, Mayberry pointed to the shoreline sparse population or Ihe lack 01 mangroves, and the invasion of some undesirable brazilian pepper trees there. He also 10catOd two sizable spanina grass patches (beneficial) and some mangroves (beneficial), He stated that there would be minor shorellne impact around a wallwlay being proposed over the large cement pipe that dumps stormwater into the bay there. Mr. Foley described the qUMtities of algae and sea lettuce in the mud Ilals as indicators of high nutrient or poor water quality. Trash such as bottles. cans. and old shoes are imbedded in the sediments of the near shore bay. The tide was low. Wading birds were utilizing the mud flats. About 10 leet 01 while sand was at the very near shore line. and gray sediment extended out about 50 yards exposed by the lowtide. Mr. Mayberry showed the group the 60" round concrete pipe which flows from the Clearwater Mall area directly into Tampa Bay. The pipe Is under the site, Mr. Foley looked inside the pipe and described the water as flowing out and very turbid. Ms Lanza'staled that she understood that the pipe was once a cr~ek. Tha group walked to the South of toe property and was shown Ihe existing sanitary pipe d~ted 1963 thaI crosses the property an~ goes to the Clearwater East Treatment Plant. A large meadow is in the middle of the property. Some unusual trees and huge grasses were described by Mr. Mayberry. He said that one hickory tree appeared to be about 70 years old and could be expected to become three times as big around. An old Grapefruit grove was seen extending into the adjacent property on the Soulh which Mr. Mazur acknowledged was also being planned to build another phase of the development with aboul130 apartmonts, The adjacent property also is on Tampa Bay. Mr. Morris asked if there had been an archeology review of the site. Mr. Mayberry responded that to his knowlege there had not. and that it appeared that there were no middens or shell mounds on the site. Mr, Mayberry said this developer had done more than other developers to work wilh Ihe environmental department. Mr. Morris offered a motion (Iinal version listed below) to the committee. He stated his motion, It was seconded by Ms, Lanza. In discussion Ms. Melkonian asked Mr. Mazur if there was a sale of the property going on. He said there was a willing seller and a Willing buyer and a contract to buy being considered, Ms. Melkonian said she was concerned that this committee action may be thought to interfer'e wilh the ongoing purchase. She strongly suggested that the City Attorney should be consulted. Mr. Foley stated that the committee was only here to examine the site and inform the City Commission of our findings and recommendations, that we do not have access to an attorney at this meeting, that the City Commissioners do. and that Ihe Commissioners 'will evaluate the E.=.AC repon and any decisions are up to them, that nothing we were discussing could possibly be conslrued as wrong or inappropriale. The tour ended back by the North end after a walk into a dense understory which several people described as being very bp.autilul. The walk ended where the undergrowth was too thick to go on. A final discussion ensued concerning a variety of issues, The entire site was described as being very beautiful by several attendees, ' Mr. Davis said he questioned the use of the word "Park" in the original motion. Mr. Davis stated that he had seen a property acquired by Safely Harbor on both sides of Mullet Creek that was being left undeveloped. Ms, Lanza stated that she also know 01 tho same property and that was an appropriate use of stream side property. Mr. Davis wants to know what the current status of city park land is. Mr. Morris offered a first ammendmcnt to the motion striking the word "park" and adding the word "conservation". Mrs. Lanza offered a second amendment to the motion (the lirst 20 words) to reflect the limited time frame that the committee was working in. ' , , Mr. Forey stated that he had studied the property on the previous Sunday, and had observed the prox;m;ly to a stressed section of Tampa Bay, and downhHllrom Clearwater Mall, and U.S, 19. and wondered if the open section of the property would be useful as a slormwater treatment pond. He described his brief conversations and questions he , posed to government departments 01 SWIM, Pinel1as County, Tampa Bay National Estuary Program, and Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council. He stated that he thought that it would be easy to determine if the property could feasibly .~"7.'(~, .~...t." ~~ " .....:.' , I"~ ".: II "P '1 . .", , , , , 1 ;'. :', , ~ be used to provIde storm water quality benelils 10 Tampa Bay, and lhat maybe SWIM would review the property for ~uch a use, He also said that the proposed development appoared not to Improve stormwater quality to the Tampa Bay. Mr Foley suggested that maybe the local govern'Tlehts of CleaJWater. Pinellas County and the Plnellas Anclote Rivar Basin Board could buy the property and agree with SWIM to restore the pr~perty and install a stormwater Improvemant p,roJect In the open area at the sileo ' Mr. Miller stated that he was in tho process at reviewing similar ideas. and had scheduled n meeting wilh the SWIM representative on the following Thursday. He also said that he thought the committee was acling appropriately if they wanted to recommend to tho Commission to buy the property. He went on to say that using City property for storm water fmprovement waS his Job to evaluate. and lhat the issue of whether to treat stormwater from another development such 8:1 Clearwater Mall on City owned property was controversial. " Mr. Foley stated that suit~ble land acquisition was the primal)! problem encountered by the Allen's Creek Plan and SWIM projects. ' , ' Mr. Quillen stated that he has been studying a stormwater treatment idea for Clearwaler Mall. Mr. Mazur asked to be heard and was rec.ognized. He stated lhat there were two issues not being addressed by the cOmmittee: 1} How to improve the site plan 2) Check with the City Commission before deciding what to do to see what valid actions should be considered. ' , Mr. Foley responded that the commillee was not able to 'revise engineering plans. and that the committee recommendation being proposed was consistent with a purpose of the committee. " NOTE: A purpose of the EAC is: Make recommendations to Commission regarding all water. waste waler & stormwater programs ant! other programs selected by majority vote of committee that have environmental benefits or consequences upon Clearwate~s natural resources. Sept. 2. 1992.

Please let me know if you did not receive the Regular EAC August 12, 1993 Agenda packet so that I may forward a copy to you.

Due to the magnitude and quantity of changes, Mr. Hunt still would like the Committee ita review the accuracy of the changes again at their ,September' meeting.

'They have only identified, that the Bayside Arbors site i.s a "unique environmental areaU and requested the Commission ,to II consider purchasing the si te for conservation use." In addition, they alsb moved that further discussions occur concerning , other conservation areas in the City that could be identified and recommended to the City Commission for purchase (in the context of City Comprehensive Planning). 'That motion was made by Mr. Foley and ,seconded by Ms. Garris. It also was approved unanimously. These specia) minutes have not been provided to the City Commission to date.' We have been requested by Mr. Foley to provide each Commissioner with a copy; however, I thought it more appropriate to provide you with this update and request that you provide copies to each Commissioner along with this current status.

Issues that were considered included stormwater run off into Tampa Bay, trer. protection, and whether or not the City should consider purchasing the, property as op['lOsed'to allowing new development. , .~.~:. ~' As the result of their deliberation. Mr, Morris made the motion "Since the EAC was unaware of a proposal , to develop the Bayside Arbor property until the July 8, 1993 EAC meeting, and as a result of this, the Commillee would ask the City Commission to review the site ilnd look at it as an environmental sensitive area which is of value to the citi7.ens of Clearwater, and consideration should be given to explore the possibilities of pucchasing the site ,for conservative use". Motion was seconded by Lisa Lanza and approved by the committee with a vote 3 for and 2 flgainst. For the record the two opposed to the motion, were Jill Melkonian and George Davis III, and they requested that. the records indicate this. As a side issue, the committee, motioned at the last EAC meeting on July 8, 1993, to request the City Commission to reconsider their position regarding mangroves and eliminate language from the new Code of Ordinance, that would restrict Clearwater's mllngrovc protection to only that which the state requires. In effect, the committee voted the Clearwater's M:mgrove Protection rule be stronger than that of the State of Florida. It is my understanding that mcmos for each of these issllcs is to be provided to the City Commission by the committee through Mike Foley in lhe yery ncar future.

" APPENDIX D BACKGROUND Chapter 40 CFR Part 122 ~equir~s the protection of surface waters in part through the development of 'stormwater manag~ment plans. State Water Policy, Chapter 17-40, F.A.C. has established as' the goal of surface water m~nagement programs to protect, preserve and restore the quality, quant.ity, and env Lronmcimtal values of water resources through programs that include effective stormwater management for existing and new sys terns \lhich shall seek to protect, maintain and .restore the functions of natural systems and the,beneflcial uses of waters. pinellas County's Comprehensive Growth Management plan also includes this ~irective but adds significant detail' to the. direction through other policies and goals'mal;:ing these management plans very comprehensive and holist~c in nattlre and extending the planning area to the uplands \.,i thin the wate.cshed (Appendix C .1). The City of Clearwater Comprehensive Gl:owth Management Plan 'reaffirms these directives' (Appendix C. 2) ,as does that of the Cities of Dunedin (Appendix C.3), Largo (Ap~endix C.4), Safety Harbor (Appendix C.S), and the Town of Belleair (Appendix C.G)., OBJECTIVES The objective ,of this project is to apply an' integrated resource management approach to the \.,ater quality/quantity problems throughout the mid Pinellas watersheds in a coopeiative effort in order to determine the most appropriate structural and non- structural solutions to' problems, with emphasis placed on non- struciural solutions. ' Watershed basins to be studied include those of Stevenson, Curlew,. Allig'a tor, Mullet, Bishop, Briar, Allen' 5 and Belleair Creeks three Coastal basins and Clearwater Beach Island. The initial work effort recognizes the need to maximize all availab,le information and' resources. It is wi,th this consideration that a1 though Allen's Creek and Alliga tor Creek are indentified as basins under consideration in this project, only that 'work not being addressed by, current or ongoing s~udies al~eady funded for the~e basins will be ,undertaken. This project will conduct a diagnostic evaluation of the wate~sheds in the mid Pinellas area in order to identify problems requiring management.

H; Hunt- If there are no fu~ther questions forZOM, is there a different or additional motion the Committee wants to make? General discussion. ~. Hunt- At this time I'd like to kick them out (sic)., H. Hunt- The present status is that the motion of the 7/16 meeting recommends purchase of the property. We don't have to do anything, or are there any additional motions, or no comments? No response, general discussion. H. Hunt- Thank you gentlemen. ZOM leaves meeting. General discussion. A. Donovan- Instead of voting on the 'purchase we could send our motion along that we see nothing wrong with the plan, but we regret that it got to this point and wish the EAC had more opportu~ities to intervene before development. B. Morris- We have other options. General discussion. A~ Garris- If I.was to make a motion it would say that we or~ginally wanted to recommend purchase, however we have been informed that we could be liable (sued), however due to the value of the land the City should do everything possible to assure the development preserves the environment. , 'd.

However, that motion came about it, certainly could be construde as an attempt for the city to buy it. Mr. Morris: However, it doesn't preclude anything from happening. These people need to get a permit. Once the sale is consumated, the City does not necessarily have to issue them a permit. If the City does not issue'them a permit the City will have to buy that property as far ,as my understanding is. What I'm saying is I don' t know what is going to happen. And these gentlemen can sit here and tell us that this is going to happen this way, but I'm not sure its going to happen this way. Mr. Patterson: My intent is not to tell you what is going to happen, my intent was only to answer that question. If I were to say there are a lot of 'people who would sell their property back for a buck we don't do that for a living that is not the way we make our profits. And so i~ was important for you to know that. If somehow you want to gain control of this property, it would have to be thru other means than for me to say yes I'd like to flip this back to the City or whoever it is who would buy it. Ms. Garris: Go ahead, I pidn't mean to disrupt your thoughts. , . /,;.. ,Mr. Patterson: Well I really wrestled with this on the drive over this morning whether to share this or not, ,there have been a lot of comments' that I heard thru the minutes or whatever nO,t to discuss this with the ,CIty attorney, attorneys or whatever, and.I want to share with you with what I've beenadvised of, because it's important that you understand. The first thing you should do is to take this with a grain of salt and then go seek the advise that you need to seek to do whatever you want to do. But I've been instructed that to forth or attempt to forstall the percurement of ' our development permits is illegal and that any individual or group that chose to prevent that from happening could be held liable. Mr. Morris: Did Tim Johnson tell you that, Mr. Patterson: No he did't Mr. Morris: Okay, because that sounds like something Tim Johnson once said before ' <..- ~ -zJ. /' Z'" ':I:.. ~. C ~" __. ~;: ~~?

'u , .... , , Mr. Hunt: I want to press the issue back again here, we're running up towards 6 o'clock, we, certainly appreciate your showing up' and answering questions and giving us the story. The committee, I want to make sure there is no further questions from this two gentlemen, then the next issue we want to talk about is the minutes that we have approved (Mr. Foley's on site meeting) have a motion in them that this committee recommends that the city commission review the site and consider it for purchase, and that is the motion that stands there. Now we all know from listening to Mr. Patterson that ZOM Communities is not putting this property on the market, I don1t know whether or not there is a different or additional or whatever motion it is that the committee wishes to make. First thing I want to make sure of if there is any further questions that we need to ask Mr. Patterson or Mr. Mazur. Ms. Lanza: How did you find out about this property? You're in Lakeland, right? , " Mr. Patterson: Orlando Ms. Lanza: OK, your in Orlando, how did you, find out about this property in Clearwater? Mr. Patterson: I guess I heard about this 4-5 years ago, when I drove upon it. Ms. Lanza: You just drove upon it, those of us who live here don't even know it's there, and you just fell on it on day. Mr. Patterson: Well no, we look pretty closely at vacant ,land and I knew Clearwater was a market that needed this level in quality rentals, so we started looking at all vacant parcels. Ms. Lanza: Not through any formal method, other than riding on in a car. Mr. Patterson: We actually usually look at aerial photographs and then research title. Ms. Garris: There is hardly any open land left anywhere. Mr. Patterson: Its not very hard in Clearwater, you just find a green spot. I' Ms. Lanza: So you decided Clearwater needed and you got the aerial photographs,' you didn'tl have any kind of consultants in Clearwater that said "Hey there's this land open, or this land available or that land available"? Mr. Patterson: There was a broker involved in the transaction, if that's ~hat you're asking. I ;. . , , I , , , - ;, , i > " , "..< Ms. Lanz~: So somebody more or less came to you and said to you there is some land in Clearwater you might want to develop it. Mr. Patterson: No actually what I do he did the leg work for me I identified the parcel and he did the leg work. Ms. 'Lanza: I~ that somebody a Clearwater resident? Mr. Patterson: PAUSE I believe he lives in Tampa, ,is that good or bad? Mr. Hunt: Are there any other questions from these gentlemen? Ms. .Donovan: These are going to be rental unit, do I understand these are' not going to be owned, people that living there will have no interest in the property. Mr. Patterson: No ma'am Ms. Sharpe: What price are the rentals? Mr. Patterson: The rents will b~gin at about $535 a month for the least expensive small one bedroom, and go up to over $1000 for a three bedroom with a garage. .# Ms. Sharpe: 'Thatt~ ~ typical market value right now for middle income? Mr. Patterson: It will be the highest priced rental~rty in Pinellas County that I'm aware of that's not on the side on the beach for a garden apartment. It will be in the market for luxurious apartments. The newest project Post Court would be about $485, on Old Coachman. ' ' Mr. Hunt: Are there any other further questions, from Mr. Patterson or Mr.Mazur?n I's like to kick them_ out so that we can · . .. C ~ ~~ ./~/.( V v-f. ~ICt I ~4tu. 1.( ~~4. ~u,..-t^-'- te ) . Mr. Davis: If that's the case, I would just for the record like to thank Mr. Patterson for coming down here, I would like to congratulate he and ZOM managements for the aggressive environmental concerns they are showing, and the effort that they are making to adhere to the existing ever growing environmental regulations that are out there. Because you are a developer you're a bad guy. Ms. Lanza: No body is saying that. Mr. Davis: But there are those like yourselves that 'are going to change that perception over the next decade. lId like to thank you for the way you're approaching this thing. Mr. Patterson: Thank' You ;z. ~r{/'::: : ;'; ,.:~ '::,' ~ ':' ',':':, , <, . .J. ". '., , " , " " , I . r.. . Ms. Sharpe: I agree v~ry much, I support very strongly the presentation of the additional information." Mr. Davis: . Thank got its you and not somebody else. Mr. Patterson: I have spoken to Mr. Pallotty before when he was in West Palm and we had a lot of agreements to be worked out and I can assure you that after going through that process, he will speak to our willingness to do our work. All we need to understand is what can we do reasonable to accommodate your needs. Mr. Hunt: The present status this 13 July minutes racommend that the Committee says that the city should consider purchasing the site. The gentlemen here who are part of that meeting feel that is our continuing submittal. We don't have'to do anything since we know that ZOM is not contemplating the site for sale, if there are any other additional motions or any other additional comments as we leave this subject. PAUSE Mr. Hunt: Thank you gentlemen. Mr. Mazur: Thank you. " At this point Mr. Patterson and Mr. Mazur left. Mr. Hunt: I'm not lobbying Ms. Sharpe: The problem is hindsight, the problem is that the Pro Comprehensive Management plan is not in place, everything we need to have to function properly is not there. All we can do now is work with the developer and the city in trying to get them to the restoration measures ..... Ms. Garris: Mr. Foley: it. Ms. ,Sharpe: Don't let them snow you. Let's go to the commissioners and let them talk about There not snowing anybody. Mr. Foley: There is something, I don't want to say sinister, but there is somethin9 fishy about this, put it on record. Ms. Garris: But what Mr. Foley: I'll tell you what it is, and it's my opinion, not anybody else. I keep thinking about this over and over. Mr. Mazur sat on the Planning and Zoning Board for (3) three years, during the time the Comprehensive Plan was being developed. Mr. Mazur is a drainage enginear, he is one of the key people in charge. ....3 , , ,J ' '- .: ~ '.;- , , I , .> +\) , , (" ", , ' , . '\ ... < I Ms. Sharpe: What position does he have? Is he employed by the city? Ms. Lanza: No Mr'. Foley: He is employed by the city, in fact he has just completed compiling the NPDES stormwater permit applications with the EPA.. . . Ms. Lanza: He's not employed by the city, he's contracted. . . . Mr. Foley: His company has also bid on the Watershed Management Plan for the city. That property, I think that he, may have known about this property for a very long time, in fact he said he knew about it, before. ' ' Ms. Lanza: ,He was on P~anning and Zoning for three (3) years. Ms. Garris: If Tom Miller was here he would not let this continue. Ms. Melkonian: No he wouldn't Mr. Norris: What's his relationship to ZOM?... Ms. Garris: I think if Tom Miller he would not let this conversation continue.... Mr. Davis II: For the reco~d, Mr. Mazur resigned from King Engineering Associates about 90 days ago, and is no longer associated with the firm. Ms. Lanza: No he resigned as president, but not as an employee. Ms. Garris: But his reputation I don't think is something we need to talk about. Mr. Hunt: I have the same feeling as Ann said, I don't 'believe. . ., 'Mr. Foley continued Mr. Foley: I just wonder why, the charter reasons for this committee to be in existence was for us to recommend to the commissioners property to buy for conservation use. That's since been changed, but was in fact the charter of this committee when Mr. Mazur was on it. If he knew about it I'd sure want to know why he didn't,bring it up when he was a member of this committee. Well talk about hindsight, somebody had hindsight . . . Ms. Garris: That's beside the fact he should or should have done it. Mr. Foley: I want to apologize for cutting you off, but it was your questions that made me start thinking. I'm sorry I have come to these conclusions, but these are my feelings. y " .' I , ,', I " ! ' , . , Ms. Donovan: You know the thing about this is it i~ just San Rey again. Most of you weren't here, but I remember. Ms. Lanza: We have Scientology here to. The city is getting lost. Ms. Donovan: To me it's like having a 900 pound gorilla in your living room, its a very well behaved one" he's better behaved than you realized. But he still is a 900 pound gorilla and I do not like the last Clearwater being paved. Every time they took the woods for storage, that was published in the paper as "The Last Woods in the city Limits". So here goes another fine piece. But its nothing to do, it's not our fault, George is right we're just lucky that they are doing as fine a job as they are. Ms. Lanza: They' don't have any choice MULTIPLE DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, COULD NOT DISTINGUISH WHO SAID WHAT " Mr.Hunt: I wish to express we ,have to come to some recommendation, maybe our recommendation is that Clearwater emphasis its work on, the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, I don't care what the recommendation is. Ms. Donovan: I think that talk about buying it for a park is a place where nobody could get to anyway, could only be left as a passive park. Instead of voting or recommending to do that we could send ,our motion along that we see nothing wrong with their plan, ~ts a good plan but that we regret the fact that it ever got to this point, and we wish as the Environmental Committee that there were more opportunities to intervene before development. Mr.Norris: I think we have a lot more options than you suggest, we can write Pinellas County Commission, we can contact DER, we can contact EPA, we can flood SWIM as a body. There is a $10,000,000 fund from the Phosphate Industry to buy Environmentally property, we could write them. You don't have to role over right now. If they are going to sue me go ahead sue. Mr. Foley: Zorn in going to the Commission on ,the 19, not August 30, so once they go through that they can start applying for building permits. Ms. Garris: I disagree with you to this extent, if I were to make a motion I would make the motion to the city that at first we had wanted to r~commend that they purchase the 'land, however, we had been' informed we would make ourselves liable if we did that. Mr. Norris: We haven't found that out for sure, that was only making a threat as far as I'm concern.
