Board Discussion
1. Revised ORB Meeting Agenda Format
Mr. McCarty distributed copies of the agenda format as revised at the last meeting.
Discussion ensued regarding Board and staff interaction with applicants. Mr. McCarty cautioned
against doing too much of the applicants' work for them during me~tings. It was noted the
procedure allows several opportunities for the applicant, Board and staff to exhange information.
While not wanting to restrict anyone from providing pertinent information, the possible need to
close public input at some point was discussed. Consensus was this may be added to the
procedure later, if needed. Time limits were not thought to be necessary. It was felt applicants
should notify staff 72 hours in advance of the meeting, if they expect their presentations to
exceed ten minutes. Mr. McCarty will incorporate a statement to this effect into the application
and agenda,

lists of City representatives involved in creating the ORB.

3. Other Issues
Mr. McCarty reported Mr. Shuford will be seeking to transer to the ORB authority for
administering a downtown property improvement incentive and grants program. The fund is
currently administered by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Downtown
Development Board (008.) Mr. Shuford felt the change is expedient due to recent changes
in eRA administration and confusion regarding the difference between the City's Design
Review Board and the DDB Design Committee. Discussion ensued regarding appointment of
a new CRA Director.

Mr. McCarty distributed copies of a sketch comparing heights of existing City buildings with
a 39-story residential high rise proposed for downtown. He said the heights are drawn to scale
and graphically depict what can happen in a community with no building height restrictions. He
prepared the sketch at the request of Mr. Shuford, in response to public opposition to a draft
land Development Code amendment proposed to clarify and strengthen language regarding
development heights and floor area ratios. Discussion ensued regarding building plans for the
proposed high rise, typical building heights, and common floor area ratios in Clearwater.
