ZONE:
From RS-8 (Single Family Residential) to RM 8 (Multiple Family
Residential)
Mr. Shuford said the applicant plans to apply for Residential Planned Development zoning to
accommodate adjustments requested by the board. Mr. Keyes moved to continue the request to
March 28, 1995 meeting. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
H2. (cant. from 2/14/95 and 2/28/95) Dimmitt Car Leasing, Ine (Els Auto Detailing) to
permit vehicle selVice/auto detailing at 510 Pine St, Wallace's Addition, Blk 3, Lots 6-9,
zoned CG (General Commercial). eu 95-15
Mr. Shuford gave the background of the application and presented, in writing, the staff
recommendations. He indicated the item was continued to enable the applicant to submit a more
comprehensive site plan. He relayed concerns of staff with property disrepair, lack of maintenance,
code enforcement violations, and the anticipation of a continuing problem at this location should the
application be approved.
The lapse of a year between dates of violation inspections was questioned; it was determined that,
as a rule, violations inspections are conducted upon the complaint of neighboring property owners.
The applicant, Ronell Fuller, 301 Seacrest Drive, Largo, reported the problems with the property are
being addressed with painting, crushing junk cars, clearing the grass lot, etc. He acknowledged
more work remained to be done. Replying to questions from the board, Mr. Fuller said his sub-
lessees perform auto and boat repair and do not now have occupational licenses. It was noted the
subject conditional use request was for automobile detailing only. The applicant was invited to read
the recommendations of staff; he said items 2) all permitted services shall be indoors, and 7) striping
and sealing of the parking lot may be a problems; and 8), no major repairs, would be a problem with
his' subleasees. Ultimately, Mr. Fuller said that he would be able to comply with all
recommendations suggested by staff and he complained about the lack of assistance from Dimmett,
the property owner.
. Speaking in opposition, Stewart Whitehouse, 603 Turner Street, Clearwater, whose antique shop is
located across the street, read a petition in opposition and presented it to the board. He claimed the
applicant has been operating body and boat repair at the location for a year without WI occupational
License and cited violation notices and his concerns for stormwater runoff, drainage, and the clutter
of junk cars. It was mentioned by Mr. Shuford that conditional use applicants are generally awarded
time to remediate deficient or substandard properties.
Lany Matlock, 612 Pine Street, Clearwater, said he represented himself and his five rental tenants,
although he did not have written authorization to represent them. He expressed concerns with

complained that violations by the property owner have been continuing for many years and said the
Community Response team has "run out ofred tags" when inspecting the property. Mr. Matlock said
Dimmett Cadillac ran a body shop on the site at the time he purchased the property in 1979 and cited
the deterioration of the property following Mr. Dimmett's move.
Also in opposition, Sue Mayhew, 60S Pine Street, Clearwater, supported the comments of Messrs.
Whitehouse and Matlock.
When questioned, each of the persons speaking in opposition did not object to the detailing business
per se, but to noise when work is done outside and the conditions inherent with the other businesses.
It was noted by Mr. Shuford that sub-Ieasees of Mr. Fuller would have to apply to the board for
licenses. It was agreed that a well-run business would be an improvement over a vacant property.
Rebutting, Mr. Fuller cited his efforts to renovate the property and his future plans for landscaping.
He assured the board that his tenants would be evicted from the premise if they could not obtain
occupational licenses. There are no written leases with the other businesses; Mr. Fuller said he could
maintain his business if the other businesses moved. He suggested he could use one-half of the
property for his detailing business and return the rest to Dimmett. Responding to a questions, he said
to work inside would be "hotter" and use of a large fan was suggested.
,0
In the ensuing discussion, it was noted that a specific determination of auto detailing as conditional
use for the property would preclude the types of businesses now operating as "sub-Ieasees": It was
emphasized that code enforcement inspections are initiated by complaint, agreed that the applicant
has been making an honest effort at remediation, and that Dimmett should contribute to the
renovation of the property.
. '
A motion was made by Mr. Carassas to approve the request with the following conditions: 1) The
applicant shall obtain the necessary occupationa11icense for the use within six months from the date
of this public hearing; 2) all pennitted services shall be indoors; 3) all parts, materials and vehicles

of this public hearing; 7) the parking lot shall be striped (marked by durable painted lines) consistent

whether to require the conveyance of land or payment of cash, or a combination thereof, to
satisfy the recreation land impact fee and open space impact fee; providing an effective
date.
Mr. Shuford gave the background of the proposed ordinance and presented, in writing, the staff
recommendations. He indicated the boardls previous comments relative to addressing site plan
standards have been incorporated into the ordinance and particularly noted the specific requirements
on p 6. He reiterated the purpose of the ordinance is to streamline the site plan review process. Mr.
Shuford said the Development Code Adjustment Board's (OCAB) recommended endorsement and
he relayed the concerns expressed by DCAB members at the March 9, 1995 meeting.
Mr. Shuford noted the City Commission did not establish a specific acreage for site plans/plats; staff
recommended contiQuing the 25-acre cutoff point; the board agreed. It was suggested that more
suitable decisions could be made by P&Z if requests such as alcoholic beverage and ACLF uses
were considered at the same time. It was questioned how input from Development Code Adjustment
Board could be obtained, and the need for both boards to work homogeneously was stressed.
Although the ordinance addresses conditional uses and variance requests, it was repeated that its
primary concern is simplification of the site plan review process; Mr. Shuford noted the current,
time-consuming methods of preliminary and final site plan reviews would be combined to effect a
more expedient process. The Chainnan said, in his opinion, the proposed ordinance was a very good
idea and would ameliorate the work of the P&Z and DCAB advisory boards.

mentionmg the dark green type which is practically invisible; they agreed that the fences should not
be constructed on the top (or cap) of the sea wall. A brief discussion involved the use oflandscaping
