The NAC recommended funding some requests from the Social Services grant program, and the South Greenwood Patrol from the General Fund. Commissioner Thomas questioned the difference in the amounts between the Social Service Funding Rating Sheet and the NAC and TRC Scoring Sheet for RCS. Michael Holmes, Assistant Community Development Manager, said the difference is due to the formats and the TRC Sheet is divided into acquisition and public facilities. Commissioners Thomas and Deegan commended the Community Development Department, the TRC and NAC on the process used this year. In response to a question, Mr. Ferri indicated all the subrecipients have been notified of the recommendations. Jiffy Johnson, Community Service Foundation, thanked the Commission and citizens for recommending funding. She distributed a newsletter which reflected a new 28-unit complex providing space for low income families. The Community Service Foundation has a Clearwater office (461-061 8) and also has classes in the commtmity. Anne Garris, Ervin's All American Youth Club Board Member, referred to a program proposed by the County School Board which is something the Ervin Harris Club has been doing for 14 years. She said she was surprised to discover the reason this club was not funded this year was they were viewed as a recreation program. She felt the CDBG process this year was an enormous improvement over previous years. She noted the $24,000 requested by Ervin Harris was listed as salary and it was indicated they should have been more specific. Ms. Garris noted they would be more careful next year; . however, indicated a need for funds this year. Jonathan Wade, North Greenwood Family Center, said they were awarded $10,000 last year to pay the rent. He said they are a social action group and provide services for the youth in the community. He said their proposal this year pi aced outside the guidelines for funding. Mr. Wade said their organization is looking at a $100,000 budget and is receiving some funding from the Juvenile Welfare Board, HRS and Honeywell. He noted the Census Tract through which HUD dollars come and indicated organizations within that tract were not funded this time. Greg Rose, Salvation Army, stated in 1993 tney established a homeless intervention program which works with the chronic homeless. In August 1993 a City of Clearwater task force was established to develop a drop-in center to deal with the chronic homeless and public inebriate.' They made a determination this type center was feasible. The Salvation Army was approached regarding the possibility of administering this facility in cooperation with the police department. Mr. Rose said the Salvation Army is looking into ,the possibility of establishing such a program and has requested funds through the CDBG. Mr. Ferri said the Technical Review Committee recommended full funding for the Salvation Army; the NAC recommended less. f minCC08b.94 8/4/94 8 - ~ ~t- ,....- ~1 ~~~, ~.~t-~~~"----. u-~~_6ci~~;~:''';~:31-;. :~I:~!. :':~. ~;.~"l;'l'.:'~;-~~'>; :~.:.'~/~~i,l..~ ~::~~'r.:<:~;,~i"~~!;d-., 1:' >,:~j:. ;l~:'~.:-'.~~.~i'f..: .,c~ \.:\\~ : '. > ' "~:rf ',i,.:!...',;, ;, <.' ,,', ',' . ,.,' ::" '.' . .' ,.

Mr. Rose responded there is a large number of homeless that fall through the gap not receiving the intensive maf\agement that could resolve their problems and get them back into the community. He said there is also a serious lack of emergency shelter. The Police Department has donated a double wide trailer to be placed on Everybody's Tabernacle property that would provide 15 beds for the emergency home:ess. Mayor Garvey asked if the program is successful this year, where will the funding come from next year. Mr. Rose responded there are several funding sources available. In response to a question, Mr. Ferri said the staffing component is the portion of the request that is not fully funded. Chief Sid Klein, applicant for Americorp which has been approved for funding, and the South Greenwood Neighborhood Patrol, said the patrol has already been approved for a federal grant of $11 2,000 and the match of funds is needed to make the program work. Chief Klein said he has been involved with the homeless issue which is a real problem in the City. He expressed concern without the full funding of the Salvation Army's application the homeless problem will not be solved. Duke Tieman, South Clearwater Citizens for Progressive Action, said due to the cooperation of the Police Department a big dent has been made in making their neighborhood safe. He indicated the need for a police substation in the South Greenwood area. Jiffy Johnson echoed Mr. Tieman's comments indicating the support for the South Greenwood neighborhood is greatly appreciated. Lois Cormier spoke in support of Chief Klein's work in the South Greenwood area and tha Community Services Foundation work in regard to Woodlawn Gardens. She fait tremendous power has been given to the NAC and expressed concern they do not have complete representation as they should. She said she went on the bus tour of the applicants and attended decision making meetings where only five out of twelve members were present. Isay Gulley, Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, thanked the City for their support. She said she is glad to see the City supporting needs that have been long overlooked in the City. She said their proposal includes new services and is much more . this year than in previous years. Ms. Gulley felt the application process was very intense this year but provided a view of the partnership structure. Deborah Vincent, Clearwater Housing Authority, stated the package presented this year was one of the best ever done. It was verY professional and ranked very well. She , appreciated the bus tour and said staff was very helpful with technical assistance. Barbara Green, Everybody's Tabernacle, said she appreciated staff's assistance in putting together an application for grant money. She said they are adding an educational program to their facilities. minCC08b.94 8/4/94 9 ." ' , I'~ ~ .. 'A'.....~I4h..t.\.l$.~'~I~t;r~~~~~/ ~'~~ ,~:!,. 'I,' , l . i.; _" .... ',',:..': . ,~ " '.

Commissioner Thomas questioned how those programs which have been funded in the past are going to replace this funding not received this year. Mr. Ferri said past funding is not a factor in the evaluation of the applications indicating it will be a loss to those programs. . Commissioner Thomas expressed concern in leaving a gap in the community by not funding organizations, in particular Ervin's All American Youth Club, that have been traditionally performing something in the community. He felt these organizations will come to the ,Commission for funding through the General Fund. .. ". , Mr. Ferri said there was a rank ordering of agencies and at a certain point there were no more funds to allocate. He said this was not an attempt to not respect or appreciate the qualities the Youth Club has traditionally provided for the youth in the neighborhood.

Mayor Garvey asked how the Salvation Army program relates to the North Greenwood Safe House. Commissioner Deegan said the Safe House could not be funded by CDBG funds. In response to a question, Mr. Ferri said there is an interrelationship between these two programs but no formal linkage. Commissioner Berfield asked if the organizations applied to specific categories. Mr. Ferri, said there was a check box; however, if an area was incorrectly chosen, staff would correct. } , Commissioner Berfield asked if the Police Department could have been listed as Economic Development.

He indicated since the Commission set the $5,000 limitation, they could change it. Mayor Garvey said she was against the motion because Girls Inc. had less fund raising opportunities than the Salvation Army. She supported the allocations of CDSG funds as recommended. Commissioner Thomas expressed concern regarding changing the ground rules and criteria of the Social Services grants. Commissioner Deegan noted the Police Department requested that the Salvation Army run the drop-in center. Commissioner Thomas asked if the drop-in center program is the formalization of the test program in the S.T.E.P.P.S. building last year and asked how much money was given to create the program. Commissioner Deegan indicated it was and no funds were given. The City repaired the building so it could be used.

Should these bonds fail to be validated by the courts, the City has the option of going to public referendum or paying for the project from other funds. Current plans are to repay the bonds over 30 years. A pledge of Public Service Tax revenues will be used to secure payment of the principal and interest on the bonds. It is the intent of the City, following the validation hearing expected in late September, that this , issue be sold at competitive public sale tentatively scheduled for the week of November 28th. The City Manager noted the City is not proposing to raise the utility tax rate to fund this complex. Dean Rowe, project architect, gave a preliminary progress update on the Municipal Services/Public Safety Complex and said he refers to the project as the Clearwater Services Center. An RFQ has been issued to solicit qualifications from general contractors. Fourteen responses have been received and evaluated and the selection committee has short listed the proposals to eight. Mr. Rowe said a bid document requesting a preconstruction fee, construction fee and a general condition lump sum has been issued to the eight contractors that have been short listed. The bids will be received tomorrow at noon and recommendations will be made for the selection of a contractor on August 15. He reviewed the conceptual approaches with the Commission. Mayor Garvey questioned whether the space needs for the Police Department have been reviewed. The City Manager reported the original space report has been reviewed and there have been significant changes in space allocations. Mr.. Rowe presented conceptual drawings of the project indicating some parking would be outside. A utility drive-up window will be accommodated. The site also allows future expansion of the building by 25,000 square feet. The City Manager indicated a time would be scheduled to discuss where the various City departments will be located. Commissioner Thomas questioned if the atrium was Temoved from the third floor, would the additionai square footage be at zero cost. Mr. Rowe noted the area Commissioner Thomas noted as the atrium is for mechanical equipment such as elevators, etc. The City Manager noted even though the issuance provides for $12.5 million in revenue bonds the City is expecting only $11 million to be fOT construction. The additional funds are needed for funding reserves and issuance costs. David Thorton, Raymond James & Associates, the City's financial advisor, indicated the reserve is $893,750 and the remaining amount is for various costs. In response to whether the City is receiving interest off the reserve, Mr. Thorton indicated this is the case. There was discussion regarding the underwriter's and bond insurer's costs. He indicated if the City gets a high enough rating on the issue, the City may not need to get insurance. minCC08b.94 8/4/94 16 "~ 'j<" I \'I." , -_.~~~~~;';;':;-~~~~\~~."(":':h~r. ~.'~/: '.~:.:'~.: ;,''':",.:. ~:.:'r~-;:'~.l' : "T ~..i.~"'~,~ 'tf . ,.....,:,;~. > \ *' ." .

In response to whether the City's financial advisor is recommending fully funding, Mr. Thorton said they do not know as yet. Commissioner Deegan requested llpublic service1l tax revenues be explained. Ms. Deptula explained in order to issue the bonds, the City needs to identify the funding source that will be used to pay for the bonds. The City has identified utility tax revenues for this funding. Commissioner Deegan questioned if there are any limiting covenants comparable to the limits in the parking bonds. The City Manager said there is a covenant that the City would not reduce the utility tax rate. In response to a question, Mr. Thorton said the City has eight times the coverage for these bonds and the City could still issue additional bonds. Commissioner Berfield asked if there was anything to prevent paying the bonds off early. Mr. Thorton said there are call provisions and the first time the City can call them without setting up an escrow would be 8 years. Reference was made to the refunding of bonds the City has just done. Mr. Thorton said there was a call premium on those bonds: however, the City still saved money due to the greatly reduced interest rate. Commissioner Berfield moved to approve the issuance of Municipal Services/Public Safety and Police Complex Revenue Bonds. The motion was duly seconded. Commissioner Fitzgerald commented he will not be voting for this issue because he did not find it appropriate. He did not believe the project would achieve the basic goal of a consolidated City Hall. He felt this project breaks the public trust as the public was , promised a vote on the City Hall issue at referendum. Mayor Garvey beHeved there should be a consolidated City Hall but felt it more important to go forward. She felt the public trust has not been violated and indicated the government cannot be run by referendum. Commissioner Deegan indicated he was also in favor of having a referendum: 'however, he said he will support the project as the City has to move forward. Commissioner Thomas believed the public trust has not been violated. He felt there was a significant safety issue in the Police Department which is at least 50 percent of the project. He said the Annex and other buildings the City is using are substandard. Widespread public input has been received and he felt the project is truly needed. He believed the cost per square footage and the maintenance costs were much lower than any other option.

(Landmark Manors), Sec. 21-28-16, M&B 23.04, 23.05, 23.06, 23.08 & 23.13, 17.3 acres m.o.!. (McCullough, Z94-04HCP) The applicants' property was annexed into the City in 1 992. The City assigned a Future Land Use Classification of Low Density Residential and RS-6 zoning, both of which were subject II ... to the approva' of the 'and use designation by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners". The County Board never approved the classification of Low Density Residential (now Residential Urban). During the City/County consistency program the property was assigned a Future Land Use Category of Residential Suburban. The property does not have a zoning classification due to the County never approving the original Future Land Use Classification. Staff proposes to assign the new zoning ciassification of RPD-C to the applicants' property. This zoning provides for a density of 2.5 dwelling units per gross acre, but otherwise has the dimensional and numerical requirements of a RS-6 zoning district. The applicants propose to develop 20 single family homes, and incorporate their existing home into the d~velopment, for a total of 21 lots on the 17.3 acre parcel, a density of 0.83 dwelling units per gross acre. Entrance into the n~w subdivision is proposed to be from Landmark Drive. The entrance road would have a bridge over the northern portion of the retention pond adjacent to Landmark Drive on the property of the . Eagles Glen Condominiums. The entrance road and all roads in the subdivision will be private roads, but will be constructed to city standards. There are existing wetlands ioeated on the property which win restrict development. The dimensionai requirements of the RS-6 district will permit the applicants needed flexibility in laying out the subdivision. This was the justification for originally assigning the property this zoning. Development with the proposed zoning will not affect the permitted density or infringe on the. 'environmentally sensitive wetlands. As regards the latter, the applicant is working closely with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the City Environmental Manage~ent Group in order to design the proposed residential development in an environmentally sensitive manner. On July 19, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Boord approved the proposed zoning , subject to the following conditions: an easement for the bridge shan be obtained from the Eagles Glen Condominium, and the bridge design shall be in substantial conformance with the drawing submitted by Mr. McCullough at the July 1 9, 1 994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. minCC08b.94 8/4/94 18 ~~>>\~~~. ~,i.?{',~<~,,' ,~~~~. .I'..~' " ,.- .

She indicated Units 7 and 8 look at Landmark Drive and speeding cars and felt th.e granting of the bridge easement would not change the view. Tom Serbo, Eagles Glen resident, said he purchased the property in 1986 basically for the aesthetics of the lake. He said he cannot see Landmark Drive from the main building. He said due to the layout of the condominiums someone would be affected. He requested all alternatives be searched out. Commissioner Thomas questionGd whether the narrow strip from McMullen Booth Road into the site is being kept as a wildlife sanctuary. Mr. McCultough said it is the right- of-way area on the south side of the condominium complex that runs between Landmark Drive and McMullen Booth Road that will be preserved. He said the project will be a low density custom home development. Mr. McCullough indicated he will be transplanting oak' trees. In response to a question, it was indicated a density of 2.5 units per acre is allowed and the property is being developed at .76 unit per acre. Commissioner Thomas moved to approve RPD-C zoning for the subject property. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. The Assistant City Attorney presented Ordinance #5660-94 for first reading and read it by,title'only. Commissioner Fitzgerald moved to pass Ordinance #5660894 on first reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was: "Ayes": Fitzgerald, Berfield, Deegan, Thomas and Garvey. "Nays": None. Regarding Items # 17 through #21, reference will be made to the standards for variance approval. The standards are as follows: 1) There are special circumstances related to the particular physicai surroundings, shape or topographical conditions applicable to the land or buildings, and such circumstances are peculiar to such land or buildings and do not apply generally to the land or buildings in the applicable zoning district; 2) The strict application of the provisions of the code would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of the land or buildings; 3) The variance is not based exclusively upon the desire for economic or other material gain by the applicant or owner: 4) The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the land development code and comprehensive plan and will not be materially injurious to surrounding properties or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. . .

This variance is requested to permit the existing sign to remain. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Island Way and Skiff Point, and is in the RM-28 zoning district. The sign is not uniformly at a height of 9.5 feet; only the two supporting posts, located at each end of the sign, attain this height. The sign panel, located between the posts, reaches an overall height of 8.5 feet. The 9.5 foot height of the posts represents a 58% departure from the code. Thore does not appear to be special circumstances applicable to this property to support a variance to this extent. The variance could easily be reduced somewhat by lowering the height of the posts, without affecting the structural or aesthetic integrity of the sign. If the posts were reduced to a height of 7.5 feet, the post height would depart from the code by only 25%. The overall sign height then would be 8.5 feet as measured to the top point of the curved sign panel, and would depart from code by 42 %. The sign would continue to be attractive and as asset to this property and the City. Staff would regard this as a minimum variance and a practical solution to effectively reduce the extent of the existing nonconformity.

The subject property is located on the north side of Somerset Street, east of Mandalay Avenue, and is in the RM-20 zoning district. Within residential zones, freestanding signs are allowed only for conforming uses and only to identify subdivision or property entrances. This sign is used to identify the Monterey Motel, which is a nonconforming use. A variance is requested to permit the sign to remain but with a smaller area and lower height than currently exists. '. " , Somerset Street is the north-south dividing line between the residential zoning for the north beach, and the commercial zoning for the mid-beach and south beach. Nonconforming uses in residential zones are permitted one sign which must be an attached sign. The maximum sign area is 24 square feet. I."', . The existing Monterey Motel sign is a freestanding sign. The applicants propose to , . remove the "pool" sign panel that projects up from the top of the sign, thereby reducing the area to 37.4 square feet and the height to 14.8 feet. ." \.., There are speciai circumstances applicable to this property that support grant~ng the requested variance. First, conforming uses are allowed freestanding signs in this zone. It wouid' be inequitable to require the freestanding sign be removed when a residential use would. be allowed a freestanding sign by right. Second, the requested sign is not out of scale or character with the mix of uses presently existing in this area of the beach. And finally, properties on the opposite side of Somerset Street are permitted a 50 square foot freestanding sign. It is therefore not unreasonable to allow a 37 square foot sign on the north side of this street. Staff feels the request meets the standards for variance . approval.

She indicated the street light across from the property is out. Commissioner Thomas moved to approve a variance to allow a freestanding sign in a zone where freestanding signs are not permitted for the subject property as this variance meets Section 454.24 Standards for Approval, items 1-4, subject to the following conditions: the sign shall have a maximum area of 37.4 square feet, a maximum height of 14.8 feet, and shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet from all property lines, and no 'attached signs shall be b:1owed. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Commissioner Deegan referred to staff's comment that it would be inequitable to not allow a freestanding sign when a residential use is allowed. Mr. Richter recommended a code amendment addressing this. ~.... .

These variances are requested to permit the continuation of the attached ulsland Estates Realty" sign on the east face of the building oriented toward Island Way. The 6.3 square foot sign on the south face of the building will be removed. ';,'. :~:':' , The subject property is located on the west side of Island Way, north of Windward Passage, and is in the CG zoning district. " ;' ~ ;.>~:: ' The subject property has no freestanding sign. According to the application, in 1984, this site was purposely designed without a freestanding sign in order to enhance the aesthetics of the area. However, the attached sign on the east building face is 8.8 square feet greater than the 64 square feet allowed. This is a 14% deviation. The existing sign area yields a ratio of 1.62 square feet per foot of building width. This is an 8% deviation from the code. Given the lack of a freestanding sign, these variances are relatively minor deviations. .

Mvrtle Ave., Gouid & Ewing's 2nd Addition, Blk 16, Lots 12-22 (Finegan/Devoe and Reynolds Co., SV94-27HCP) :' The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the placement of a new freestanding sign' with a height of 20 feet, an area of 48 square feet, and a setback of 5 feet, in a zone where freestanding signs are not permitted. The existing freestanding sign will be removed to make way for the new sign. ' The subject property is located on the west side of Myrtle Avenue, south of Drew Street, and is in the UC{C) zoning district. },-o "' This property is developed with two buildings, both of which are substantially set back from Myrtle Avenue. The building that is least set back is situated 53 feet from the Myrtle Avenue right of way. Consequently, if the use of the property is identified by attached signs alone, it would be inordinately difficult to identify the use from the Myrtle Avenue right of way. It is reasonable that a freestanding sign be allowed. ,",. The requested sign area is 48 square feet. On March 21, 1994, the Commission and staff established a direction regarding the area for freestanding signs in the downtown. That direction was to allow properties over an acre in size to have a 64 square foot sign, and to allow properties less than an acre to have a 24 square foot sign. This property has an area of 0.82 acres. Staff recommends approval of the requested 48 square foot area for several reasons. First, this property is oniy marginally shy of one acre; second, the requested sign area is 25 % less than the area allowed for a one acre site;, and third, properties on the opposite side of Myrtle Avenue are zoned to allow a 64 square foot sign regardless of property size. ;,: ,~~. , , t':<' ", / ..... >:,' ", ',..\" ,,'c Regarding the requested 20 foot sign height, there exists circumstances that support approval. First, a 20 foot height would maintain an appropriate scale for a 48 square foot sign area; second, signs on the opposite side of Myrtle Avenue are allowed a height of 20 feet under the assigned zoning; and third, the western portion of the sign will overhang a parking space and the additional height is appropriate to avoid interference with the space. The sign will meet the standard setback from the adjoining street rights of wav~ tt will be located a minimum of 5 feet from Myrtle Avenue and Grove Street. .:~..' .

ITEM #46 - Soecial Items of widesoread oublic interest a) Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan - Drew Street Project (PWJ The FOOT and the City of Clearwater are presently undertaking the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for the improvement of Drew Street from North' Highland Avenue to Northeast Coachman Road. The project originally extended from Pierce Boulevard to Northeast Coachman Road. However, subsequent to the Alternatives Public Workshop held on June 24, 1993, the City initiated a feasibility study for the replacement of the. Memorial Causeway Bridge. The replacement of .this bridge will greatly affect traffic 'circulation patterns and volumes along the major routes in downtown . Clearwater. It was decided to postpone any action on Drew Street in the downtown area until the finds of the bridge feasibility study are available. The Drew Street PO&E study , . area were shortened to encompass only that area of Drew Street between North Highland 'Avenue and Northeast Coachman Road. Mahshid Arasteh, project manager for FOOT, said the new limit of the project , accepted by the Commission was approved. A public hearing will be held on August 9, , 1994 which will consist of a formal and an informal session. The preferred alignment will ,: be 'shown along with the pond locations and properties affected. The public hearing handout was distributed which consisted of a brief overview of the project, the project location and the alternatives. The handout includes a comment sheet to provide input. Notices have been sent to residents within 300 feet of the center line of the roadway' and . 'those residents that will be affected by the pond sites.

On February 14, 1994, development of a storm water treatment facility within the Delara Park was presented to the Commission In the Environmental Management ,Five Year Capital Watershed Plan. At that time, the Commission directed staff to return to them for further discussion after meeting with the residents to determine the community's interests and concerns. A public meeting was held on March 8, 1 994 at the East Library in which staff presented two alternatives to the residents. 80th alternatives addressed the need to resurface the roads due to failure caused by the underlying substandard storm sewer system. Alternative One provides for an enhanced level of service, consistent with current city design standards, to resol"e the existing drainage problems and also includes larger storm water pipes and a stormwater treatment pond in the DelOra Park to serve 51 acres. Alternative One would solve drainage problems along Bayshore Boulevard, which floods in . two areas during even minor storm events. In addition, stormwater that currently flows overland would be directed to Tampa Bay. Alternative Two would only provide in kind replacement of existing storm water pipes with no change in the current level of service. Although, Alternative Two would not require stormwater permitting, no storm water treatment facility would be provided and the existing drainage problems in the neighborhood would persist. Fallowing the meeting, on March 21, staff received a letter from the Association Board of Directors. The Association continues to contest the legality of placing a pond within the Park. In addition, the Association has' also requested the City move'forward with in kind pipe ,replacement, but also add new inflows at two designated spots on Bayshore Boulevard, where the road flooding occurs, and, if need be, create a small pond to treat this flow. The Association's request for the enhanced level of service would only be permitable; however, if the entire volume of combined contributory uplands (31 acres) were directed to a treatment facility. As a result of the public meeting, staff continues to believe that Alternative One is the best solution to the overall street resurfacing and drainage problems in Del Oro. Authorization is requested to proceed with this project in accordance with Alternative One. Staff will continue to work with the homeowners association to provide the most acceptable pond design and associated landscaping within areas not restricted by deed for such use. Assistant City Manager Bill Baker said the primary streets involved are San Jose, San Pedro, San Bernadino, San Mateo and the north/south streets that intersect. He said this land drains downhill to Tampa Bay and Alligator Creek.

These lines are small and are not up , to today's standards. There are four 18-inch lines taking the water to the Bay.

I : ~ ~ ' , Mr. Baker noted a recant rule that provides if storm drain lines are improved, stormwater quality has to be provided. A permit cannot be obtained without water quality ponding unless the capacity of the pipes is not increased. He noted the residents are opposed to ponds. In 1991 SWFWMO introduced the SWIM program which encouraged the establishment of ponds; however, when a proposal to construct ponds came up, it was denied. The Homeowners' Association does not want larger pipes because they do not want ponds. Mr. Baker noted the ponds would act and resemble a natural wetland. Mayor Garvey questioned the size of the ponds. Mr. Baker responded if two ponds are done they would be less than one acre each in size; one pond would 1-1/2 acre. Commissioner Thomas asked if percolation tests have been done. Mr. Baker said they were considering a wet pond not a dry one that percolates. ~iscussion ensued regarding the capacity and storage of water in the pond and how it would be treated. Chief Engineer Terry Jennings said the area between the existing water table and top of the ground provides a storage volume and this volume recedes slowly and the treatment is done with aquatic plants. There was discussion regarding detention ponds being built for quantity not quality. Chuck OeBlaker said staff did not present all the.information that Mr. Baker presented tonight. He said they were told the diameter of the pipes in DelOra Groves is 12 inches and staff's recommendation is to go to 15 inches. Mr. DeBlaker said the residents want the streets repaired with storm sewers replaced and smooth pavements. He said they do not want any ponds in the parkland. He presented a brief history indicating the subject property was purchased with funds from a referendum in 1970. The lady that sold the property wanted it to be retained as open space and added a deed restriction. In 1990, a retention pond was proposed by staff and rejected. Staff presented their proposals to the residents on March 8, 1994, and questions were raised whether the water was tested, a percolation test performed and how much of the $846,000 proposed for the project is for pipe installation, paving' and treatment. Staff could not respond. Mr. DeBlaker indicated there is no serious flooding in the area. He ,recommended channeling the water to the drain to get it off the street faster. He believed there were more serious pollution areas in the City and requested staff replace the sewer lines with the current size pipe. Sharon O'Flannery said there is no flooding and is satisfied with what currently exists. She expressed concern regarding maintenance of the ponds. She said she has been waiting a long time for smoother streets and asked if ponds are constructed, will they require fencing. minCCOBb.94 8/4/94 32 ~~'SrJ.(Ui~j:Mt';~:!i~~~"'" ~~-----.....u.""'~j"",w~,,,I,!'J' ....'~~ .......'....'I~~.:. . ~:~,;J,t'.'.~... ..~<':e.,..L.;" .":.. :'.1.,:.

John Goyack found it to be amazing that a pipe that has served the residents for years is no longer adequate by today's standards. He agreed there was no flooding in the area and said he wanted a park in the area not wetlands. Commissioner Fitzgerald questioned if there was any legal reason not to put a pond in the park. Mr. Baker said the City Attorney had expressed an opinion there is nothing in this project that would make it incompatible with a park. Commissioner Fitzgerald expressed concern the neighborhood is strongly opposed to the proposal. He agreed the roads and drainage need to be addressed indicating nothing has changed since this issue was brought up in 1990. Mr. Baker noted there are some residents who want the project. Commissioner Thomas asked the cost of repaving the street and replacing the pipe with the same size pipes versus the cost to follow staff's recommendations. Mr. Baker said the costs to pave the streets ,Would be the same, the difference would be in the size of the pipe. Mr. Jenninas !:1d::::::tau ii tfm existing system is replaced, the existing storm inlets would not be addressed. He said if a larger pipe is used, the inlets would also be replaced and a pond constructed. He estimated a 30% difference in cost. Discussion ensued regarding a legal opinion by Mr. Lance which indicated the court would probably not allow a pond on recreational land where there is a d,eed restriction. Commissioner Deegan asked who decided there are flooding problems in the Del Oro area. Mr. Baker indicated there is a 50% chance of stormwater exceeding the diameter of the.current size pipe. Mayor Garvey asked if there is any physical evidence of flooding in the area. Joseph Hardy, Vice-President of Homeowners' Association, believed no factual , information has been provided. The information presented tonight is not what the homeowners have had to review. .In response to a question, Mr. Hardy indicated the homeowners would like the opportunity to sit down with staff. In response to what kind of flooding occurs in the area, Mr. Hardy said Bayshore Boulevard ponds in two or three places. Mr. Jennings reviewed the occurrences at the public meeting with the 'homeowners. He discussed the pipe sizes and the areas that flood. He said there have , been numerous complaints from drivers regarding the ponding areas on Bayshore. He noted the state requires if larger pipes are installed, ponds have to be constructed. There was discussion regarding drainage ditches being clogged having contributed to the flooding problems. minCC08b.94 8/4/94 33 ~I:F. .....~,;~;i&;...:ij{,4A~ffh~jliQ~L,,;, '\':~<{;~i,~':'i~,0;,;'~; J:'~~;!?j,~;~\~::':<i::.t::~,~':.,-~ '" :.",.r,; :i":~:~j,;~~ih~1-~;'\~:.'~:I, ,;;;~: -<.

Commissioner Berfjeld believed streets were built to flood so homes would not. She indicated within 15-30 minutes most streets are dry. She questioned whether the pipes are too small just from Bayshore into the Bay. She asked these pipes be checked to see if they are clogged. It was indi::ated staff should meet with the residents again to make sure all information is provided. It was also requested more definitive information regarding flooding in the area be provided. Commissioner Thomas moved to continue the itern. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. ITEM #47 - Citizens to be heard re items not on the Aoenda Anne Garris indicated a petition has been prepared and circulated by a group on the beach not to destroy the beach pool. She asked that the survey appearing in Beach Views regarding East Shore Drive be copied to the Commission. . Lourie Diane Kave thanked the Commission for police presence in her area. She commended staff member Alan Mayberry. She complained regarding the revamping of Cleveland Street to three lanes. She expressed disappointment in not allowing citizens to vote on toe Municipal Services\Police Building Complex. She questioned what the City plans to do with the East End. Bob Bickerstaffe believed less money in the long run would be spent on the Municipal Services/Police Building Complex than would have been spent on the Sun Bank , Building. He felt the project will help all of downtown. He indicated more action has taken place with the curr~nt Commission than ever before and encouraged them to continue in the same manner.
