DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
CITY OF CLEARWATER
March 26, 1996
To provide continuity for research, the items are listed in agenda order although not
necessarily discussed in that order.
The meeting was called to order by the Chair at 3:09 p.m. in City Hall.
Minutes Approval - March 12, 1996
(~
Member Milam moved to approve the minutes according to copies submitted in writing
to each member by the Board Reporter. The motion was duly seconded and carrted
unanimously.
Audio-Visual Presentation -- Keeping Up Appearances
Mr. McCarty showed the 20-minute slide and audio presentation, created by the
National Historic Preservation Trust for its Main Street Center program. The presentation
demonstrated how storefront design elements are the same throughout many
communities. In response to a question, Mr. McCarty said this copy of the presentation
materials belongs to the Central Permitting Department and is available to show to other
groups. Mr. Shuford left at 3:24 p.m. to attend another meeting.
Board Discussion
1. Review of March 19 Downtown Partnershio Meeting
Mr. McCarty reported favorable community reaction to his presentation of the main
elements and highlights of the design guidelines. He said suggestions were made to
1) provide more background and emphasis on how and why the Design Review Board
(ORB) was created; and 2) create a public awareness and education program as the design
guidelines are brought forward. He said the Downtown Development Board (DDB) asked
him to speak to them in more detail about the design guidelines and timetable for
implementation.

/~ Mr. McCarty stated a question was raised whether approval was needed to paint a
building. It was indicated the ordinance requires appearance before the ORB only for
issues requiring City permits. Painting does not require a permit. Discussion ensued
regarding whether a paint palette or range of colors should be included in the design
guidelines. While the board did not want to mandate or prohibit specific colors, it was
indicated some measure of control will be needed soon to preclude someone from using
incompatible colors. Discussion ensued regarding other cosmetic changes that can be
done without permits to drastically change a facade, including window and door
replacement, and non~structural canopies and awnings. Mr. McCarty agreed several things
of this nature need to be addressed.
2. Uodate of Design Committee of the Downtown Develooment Board
Mr. McCarty said the DDS Design Committee is setting goals for the rest of this year.
They plan to conduct a survey of downtown property owners to determine what is
wanted, the level of commitment, and what assistance is needed. He indicated they will
be instrumental in helping educate the public about the ORB and the design guidelines. The
committee is still administering a small fund used to assist and reimburse property owners
and merchants wishing to renovate their buildings.
':.i4\
ft"""it
Discussion ensued regarding personnel changes in the Community Redevelopment
Agency and how the City's Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Board helps with
programs in the North Greenwood neighborhood.
Director's Items
Before he left the meeting, Mr. Shuford discussed highlights of recent State legislation
regarding lobbyist registration. He explained persons wishing to lobby or influence certain
City personnel must register with the City Clerk. Mr. Shuford cautioned board members
concerning ex parte communications with the public. He will bring additional information
to the next meeting.
Mr. Shuford said the City Commission will likely schedule review of the design
guidelines for their first meeting in May.
Board and Staff Comments
Mr. McCarty has compiled information regarding the background and history of the
design guidelines, a statement of design review versus aesthetic control and an
explanation of the point evaluation system. He offered to copy this information to anyone
who requests it.
Mr. McCarty reminded board members of the Appreciation Day dinner on April 2 at
6:00 p.m. in the Harborview Center.
