MINUTES
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
February 28, 1995 - 2:00 P.M.
Commission Chambers, 112 South Osceola Avenue, Clearwater, FL
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
INVOCATION
Members Present:
Kemper Merriam, Chair
Jay Keyes, Vice Chair
Brenda Nixon
John Cnrassas
Edward Mazur
Robert D. Bickerstaffe
Bernie Baron
Also Present:
Scott Shuford, Director, Central Permitting
Richard Baier, City Engineer
Tom Miller, Director, Environmental Management
Sally Demarest, Board Reporter, City Clerk Department
Chairman Merriam outlined the procedures for conditional uses and advised that anyone adversely
affected by a decision of the Planning and Zoning Board, with regard to conditional uses, has two
weeks from this date in which to file an appeal through the City Clerk Department. Florida Law
requires any party appealing a decision of this Board to have a record of the proceedings to support
the appeal. nie Chairman indicated that in the future the order of the Pledge and Invocation will be
reversed, as recommended by the City Commission.
By motion duly seconded, the minutes of the February 14, 1995 meeting were approved with a
correction to the time of arrival of Mr. Mazur.
, Th~ following requests for extension, deferred and continued items were considered:
B-1. (cont. from ,1/10/9)509 Bayview Ave. and 508 Meadow Lark Lane, McMullen
Bayview Sub., Tract A, Blk 3, Lots 1 & 2 and south 1.2 of right-of-way to the north, (R.
Roy Meador). Z 93-54; LUP 93-43
LUP: From Residential Urban to Commercial General
ZONE: From RS 6 (Single Family Residential) to CPD (Commercial Planned
Development)
Central Planning Director Scott Shuford gave the background of the application and presented, in
, writing, the staff recommendations. He indicated the applicant has revised his original request and
minPZ02b.95
1
02/28/95
f)
submitted a site plan addressing staff concerns with technical issues. He pointed out other
organizations, i.e. the Historical Society, the Coalition of Home Owners and the City's Historic
Preservation Board, have recommended denial of the request, adding the Environmental Advisory
Board (EAB) expressed concern for contamination of the site. Citizen and staffconcems involve
trees, pollution, leakage of gasoline on the site, drainage, contamination of ground water, traffic
safety, buffering for surrounding residential property and the historic nature of two buildings on the
site proposed for demolition. Mr. Shuford distributed a chart addressing encroachment into
residential areas and explained each of the eight issues specified.
City Engineer Richard Baier reported the EAB unanimously approved a motion to require a
Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) or similar report be required prior to issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy or building permit so that 1) contamination within the plume is not spread
and 2) to ensure protection overland stormwater runoff. He said the applicant and his representative
is amenable to providing this infonnation.
o
Tom Miller, City Environmental Director, reported that the full extent of contamination in the
ground has not yet been assessed by the owner of the property. Only a geologic report has been
received indicating a confining layer 20 feet below the ground surface, adding contamination is
contained at that depth, but the lateral extent is not known. In his opinion, the amount of
contamination is not unusual and would be similar to that which would be expected from an
underground petroleum storage tank. The owner, not the City, is ultimately responsible for cleanup,
and State funding is available.
Attorney Harry Cline, MacFarlane Ausley, 400 Cleveland Street, Clearwater spoke for the applicant!
owner, Roy Meador, adding he also represented the operator of the Fina Station, Jim Smith, who
could not attend the meeting today. Mr. Cline complimented staffand said the redesigned plan was
developed with their cooperation. He described the rezoning package involving two vacated lots,
street right-of-way, existing Fina Station, and the surrounding commercial uses and described the
residential area as "an older development on a small piece of ground".
Mr. Cline said that SR 60 (Gulf to Bay Boulevard), seven lanes in width, is the major arterial and
commercial east/west road in Clearwater, and a 1993 FDOT traffic count indicated 50,000 cars
transit SR 60 in a 24 hour period. He offered a graphic display depicting the zoning classifications
bordering SR 60 from US 19 to McMullen Booth Road and stressed that RS~6 is not proper zoning
in that area. Considering the development and changes to the SR 60 conunercial corridor, CPD is
the best possible zoning for the subject site.
Mr. Cline addressed anticipated objections and pointed out the legal test will be whether or not RS-6
is proper zoning or if a change to CPO is warranted. He noted the historical building in contention
was moved to that site, and would be donated by the applicant for removal from the site. He noted
the present service station has been located at this site for more than 50 years.

Mr. Cline said that, if rezoning is approved, the applicant will begin site remediation prior to
construction; if the rezoning request is not approved, the cleanup date, according to law, will be the
year 2009.
Discussion involved lot dimensions, number of fuel pumps, poor visibility of the business, trees and
buffer, location of the building on the lot, and the proximity of the proposed station to residences.
TIle diesel fuel pwnp will be removed. Mr. Cline said the applicant will not agree to a preservation
easement as an appropriate land limitation on this site, and is resolute in his request for a CPD
zoning classification.
Mr. Shuford said staff recommends the applicant's site plan and will not endorse any future change
to the plan; he would oppose future building relocation or additional tree removal.

,
The owner/applicant, R. Roy Meador, addressed the buffering between his property and that to the
south. He cited family discussions and suggestions for development ofthe subject property in the
past, and said the family wanted control of his property with no compensation to him. He argued
for the right to develop his property.
William S. Connolly, 317 North Hillcrest Drive, Clearwater, a neighbor, supported the right of Mr.
Meador to develop his property free of regulation, saying businesses that become antiquated cannot
provide adequate income.
.
. ~
Speaking in opposition, Mike Sanders, 411 Orangeview Avenue, Clearwater, participated in the
1980 architectural and historic survey which put 509 Bayview Avenue on the Master Site file, a
repository of historic structures. He noted the City Commission's vote to keep the property
residential in 1985 and said conditions have not changed.
Brett Parker, 716 Bayview Avenue, Clearwater, said he lived in Bayview for 17 years and cited
environmental, engineering, traffic, safety and welfare, land value and use, and historical concerns
and expanded on each item.

Early McMullen Sorenson, 517 Bayview Avenue, Clemwater, offered exhibits illustrating the homes
on Bayview Avenue, the adjacent trailer park, and the Fina station and bait shop, and pointed out the
commercial strip on the north side ofSR 60. He gave a brief history of the area and appealed to have
the special neighborhood of Bayview preserved.

Barbara McMullen Sartor, 1332 Fairway Drive, Dunedin, noted the historical significance of
Bayview and remembered family gatherings. She expressed concern for her mother's property
which, she said, will eventually become hers. She suggested the applicant dedicate a strip to protect
the historical significance and desirability of the area.

of Bayview, negatively impacting their lives and property values. He offered supporting literature
and cited restorations of various Bayview structures. It was noted Mr. Alvord's property is in the
unincorpomtcd area of the County and it was suggested that he tie into the City water system; he said
he said his 120-year old well has no chemicals in it at this time, and City water would have
chemicals, adding he prefers his well for as long as he can have it.
Bob Wright, 400 Island Way, Clearwater, past president of the Coalition of Clearwater Homeowners
Associations, said his group voted unanimously to support Bayview residents in this application.
He said he represented Mr. Joseph Evich, association president, and noted a December 18, 1994
letter written by Mr. Evich, association president, to Mr. Shuford.
Linda Francis, 403 Bamboo Lane, Largo, is conservation chairman of the Sierra Club, having 1,500
members in Pinellas County. She read a Resolution which indicated apprehension with known
contamination and objected to the application because of potential health hazards. Ms. Francis was
opposed to redevelopment of the site without cleanup. It was noted that approval of the subject
application for rezoning and redevelopment of the site would involve remediation and cleanup now;
otherwise cleanup is scheduled to begin in the year 2009.
Mary Alvord, 606 Bayview Avenue, Clearwater, mentioned the EAB and Historical Society, and
specifically cited p 60, policy 3.4.6 of Clearwater's Comprehensive Plan which restricts commercial
encroachment into residential areas. She said Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard is an example of unbridled,
undisciplined development, and one of the ugliest places in Florida. She suggested staff should
remember who pays their salaries. .
J. Paul Hardman, 1712 Winchester Road, Clearwater, a professional archeologist, addressed the
prehistoric vatue ofBayview and described it as a very significant archaeological location. He said
there may be unmarked burials on the site and asked the board to consider the prehistoric aspect.
Replying to a question from the board, Mr. Hardman said, to the best of his knowledge, there have
been no professional archeological investigations of the area, but two local amateur groups have dug
into the site.
Sh~ Perrotte, 968 Edgehill Drive, Palm Harbor, said she grew up at 606 Bayview Avenue. She
asked the board to protect Clearwater's historical heritage, extremely valuable water resource, the
environment and the residents of the community. She said the applicant "cared more for money in
his pocket than his own flesh and blood."
Allan Stowell, 2873 Thornton Road, Clearwater, displayed and described aerial views of the
Bayview area and the existing Fina site. He pointed out the 100-year old Booth house, proposed for
replacement with a retention pond, and quoted from a DEP letter addressing contamination; he
particularly noted benzine. Mr. Stowell indicated the support of the EAB, Historical Preservation
Board, Clearwater Historical Society, and past City Commission efforts toward preservation of the
subject area. He claimC?d only one requirement of the eleven Standards of Approval mandated in
section 40.475 has been met. Acknowledging a comment from the board, Mr. Stowell said the

applicant cannot be forced to clean up the property without rezoning, but a State reimbursement plan
under ED! will pay for the cost of cleanup ifhe were willing. Mr. Stowell said he was in favor of
cleanup. It was emphasized in the discussion that Mr. Meador would be required to begin site
remediation upon approval of the rezoning request.
Rebutting, Mr. Meador said his mother and father built the service station and store; he bought it in
1988. He said one wing has been removed from the vacant historical house, it is riddled with
tennites, repair is not economically feasible and, ifnot donated, he will probably tear it down.
Breck Parker, rebutted with a caution against precedent-setting.
Early Sorenson noted a lack of hardship. He cited 19 children on Bayview Avenue and described
it as a wonderful place to grow up. Mr. Sorenson was reminded that the site will remain
contwninated for another 14 years if the applicant's request for rezoning were denied. Mr. Sorenson
suggested a relocation of the retention pond to the east side and filling it with cypress trees for a
buffer; a proposed car wash could be located north of the pond.
Jack Alvord said he would drink saltwater or City water before he allowed himself or the board to
be blackmailed into approving the site.
Barbara Sartor said her mother's property will be profoundly impacted by the proposed rezoning.
Rebutting, Mr. Cline stressed the applicant meets all of the eleven Standards for Approval, the
historical element is irrelevant, and the environmental issue has been addressed. He said the heavy
traffic on Gulfto Bay Boulevard and adjacent commercial uses justify rezoning the site and the most
appropriate use of the property is CPD. Site remediation will be time-consuming but would
commence with construction. He objected to various groups' attempts to preserve historical sites at
the cost of the property owner and restated the offer of donation of the houses.
Mr. Shuford suggested adding the following condition:
Physical remediation of the contamination shall be initiated prior to the issuWlce of a
building pennit and shall be continuously pursued according to the State remediation plan
until completion;
and changing condition 1) to read: .
A site plan restriction that all site lighting shall be shielded with a 900 cutoff mechanism and
directed downward and away from all adjoining property shall be added prior to second
reading of the rezoning ordinance Wld final plan approval by the City Commission.
In the closing discussion, the Chairman suggested rezoning lot 2 to CPD, leaving lot 1 RS-6; Ms.
Nixon agreed. Supporting the application, it was noted there is no substantial chWlge in the use of
the property and approval of the rezoning request will address contamination sooner. The plan
indicates minimum tree removal. It was suggested the historical home could be accessed by the

public if it were donated to Heritage Park and removal of the two houses would aesthetically
improve the area.
Conversely, it was opined that approval would not benefit future development in the City. The
future use oflot 1 was questioned, as well as encroachment into residential property. Addition of
a better buffer or wall to protect the neighbors was suggested. There have been no offers from the
historical societies to move the houses with which they were concerned. A CPD presentation should
provide a concept of development of the entire property.
A motion was made by Mr. Carassas to approve the request subject to the three conditions
recommended by staff and the above two additional conditions suggested by Mr. Shuford. The
motion was duly seconded. Both Mr. Mazur and Ms. Nixon said they would vote in favor of the
motion if the buffer were a 6' wall to prevent encroachment.
Mr. Carassas amended his motion to include a provision that the height of the vegetative buffer be
36 inches. TIle amendment was seconded. Voting on the amendment, Mr. Mazur, Mr. Carassas,
Mr. Keyes, Mr. Baron and Ms. Nixon voted "aye"; Chairman Merriam and Mr. Bickerstaffe voted
"nay". The motion to amend carried (5-2).
