Pier 60 Desion - (WSO)
t~ Joe Hickel and Matt Morell, of Camp, Dresser & McKee (COM) distributed copies and
explained architectural renderings created to more closely match those from the design
competition. The proposed designs were discussed at length. Consensus of the Commission
was for the capping of the stairway from the beach to be a miniature version of the main
entrance and it be an a"tern'ate in the bid.
Discussion ensued regarding handicapped access to the second story of the proposed
, pavilion. It was questioned if a second story is advisable. Concerns were expressed locating
the pavilion on the pier crowds it and creates a visual obstruction. It was felt having an
assembly area on land near the pier would be more practical. Consensus was there be no
covered pavilion and instead providing a pavilion on the land be examined.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposed bait house placement and roof design.
Consensus was for the bait house be reoriented so that it runs parallel to the pier rather than
perpendicular, there be more attention to the roof detail to more closely resemble that
submitted in the design competition and there be no second story to the bait house.
Discussion ensued regarding railings on the pier. Mr. Morell presented a sample of
horizontal aluminum railing material and contrasted it with traditional wooded railings.
Consensus was the railings be vertical wood rather than horizontal aluminum.

There was general agreement with Mr. Yauch's report and recommendations. Consensus
was to have this item as a presentation on Thursday's agenda.

In response to a question, Mr. Hickel stated the project must be coordinated with sea
turtle nesting season. He indicated it is possible the Department of Natural Resources could
delay the project several mo'nths; however, it is hoped the sand work will be finished before
"turtle time".
Reoort of Traffic Enaineer's recommendations reqardinQ Clearwater Beach Traffic Operations,
direction to implement any or all of the recommendations - (PW)
At the Commission meetings of March 5 and April 2, 1992, the Traffic Engineer brought
forward a number of proposals, including those of the Clearwater Beach Blue Ribbon Task
Force, concerning new traffic circulation plans for Clearwater Beach. The Traffic Engineer also
presented a series of short term traffic operational improvements based on observations and
discussions with beach representatives.
After receiving public input, the Commission voted to direct the Traffic Engineer to
finalize his proposals in regard to the following areas: 1) conversion of South Gulfview parking
lots to attendant parking; 2) installation of improved guide signing; 3) implementation of
additional pedestrian protection measures; 4} construction of minor intersection and
operational improvements and 5) consideration of the removal of the sidewalk along the west
curb of South Gulfview Boulevard, as a means of reducing the number of police aides needed
for peak season traffic control.
Peter Yauch, City Traffic Engineer, submitted the finalized proposal and discussed it with
the Commission.
I'{"~;'
'<" In response to questions, he stated nine reserved employee parking spaces are required
in the pavilion's lease and discussed SO-degree versus angled parking, guide signs and cross
walks. Addressing a concern relating to pedestrian safety, he recommended marking the
street at crosswalks instead of having flashing yellow lights. He was requested to investigate
reserving the sidewalk along south Gulfview Boulevard to locate the tram out of the traffic
pattern.
The meeting recessed from 10:25 a.m. to 10:44 a.m.
Kathy Rice, DCM, reported overall the Summer Youth job program went well. She
indicated other people are calling wanting information in order to duplicate this program. I,n
response to a question, she indicated the City is gearing up to take advantage of a Federal
Jobs Program.
Discussion: Environmental Advisorv Committee - (WSO)
Extensive discussion ensued regarding the purpose of the Committee and how they

the next meeting to discuss the Sunshine law. Staff will track Committee activities for review
in one year.
Grant Aqreement with Neiqhborlv Senior Services. Inc, to fund the feeding of elderly at group
dining facilities, provide nutritional education and enable participating elderly to be screened
for other outreach programs for $11,660 (AS-1)
The Fiscal Year 1992 Budget authorized $11,660 from the Social Services General Fund
Support for Neighborly Senior Services nutrition program expenses. This program enables the
Neighborly Senior Services to reach out to the elderly in the community and provide a
nutritious meal to those elderly who would not otherwise have it available. Meals are provided
in a group setting to allow social interchange among the participants. At the same time, those
attending are given instruction and information on insuring they receive correct nutrition. They
are also screened to determine if any other help is needed, such as health problems needing
:.>;i;~ll) attention.
, ,;' }.
An agreement has been drafted between the City of Clearwater and the Neighborly
Senior Services setting forth the terms under which the funds are to be granted and used.
Under the agreement, the Neighborly Senior Services will: 1) provide feeding, nutritional
education, and related community outreach; 2~ furnish quarterly reports of activities conducted
with the grant funds and 3) adhere to the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, financial
disclosure, insurance and indemnification. The City will provide funds in the amount of
$11,660 and pay the accrued amount owed through the end of June of $8,745.
In response to a question, Val Mahan, Budget Systems and Project Manager, explained
the difference between this and the previous agreement. He stated it is being recommended
these funds be allocated from the General Fund, which was not done in the past.
Oisc'ussion ensued regarding the proce'dures used in administering the funds.
The Commission directed the agreement be amended to require annual rather than
quarterly reports, the reports be submitted within 30 days of the end of the fiscal year and be
used when the agency is making a request for subsequent funding and the funding approved
be given as soon as it is available in early October. The Commission also directed that it was
not necessary to bring these agreements to the Commission for approval once they have
authorized the funding. Staff will work with Mr. Mahan to amend the agreement and send to
the Commission on Wednesday.

C.O.#2 to Joint C\wr/FDOT Utilities Relocation Aareement for S.R.55 IUS19) from south of
Enterorise Rd. to north of S.R.580, increasing the contract by $73,827.60 for a new total of
$601,503.92 (GAS-')
The City of Clearwater has entered into a Joint Project Agreement with the Florida
Department of Transportation for the relocation of City owned utilities along S.R. 55 (U.S. 19)
from south of Enterprise Road to north of S.R. 580. In the process of construction, additional
footage of gas main has to be relocated due to utility conflicts that were not anticipated. This
additional footage was not included in the original payment amount. This change order will
compensate for the conflicts.
The relocation cost by joint project is lower than City cost would be as the relocation will
be accomplished with other work at this location and there will be no restoration costs to the
City.
Concern was expressed regarding the amount of footage not recognized earlier. In
response to a question, the City Manager indicated the impact of this change order would be
$73,000 out of the capital fund.
Contract for Camenter Field Observation Platform/Runways to Thoro Construction, Inc.,
Clearwater, FL, for $ 27, 182 (PW-6)
The main clubhouse building at the Carpenter Field Baseball Complex was completed in
1967. Attached to the building are four observation platforms/runways which extend from
the roof of the building to the backstop of each of toe four baseball fields. These platforms
allow Philadelphia Phillies officials to observe their players and spring training activities from
the building's roof. At the time of construction, the clubhouse building was set on pilings
while the runways were not. Over the years, the runways have settled and cracked, causing
them to be unsightly and hazardous. On January 14, 1991, King Engineering Associates
submitted a structural engineering report recommending the platforms/runways be rebuilt. At
the time, staff was verbally advised not to allow anyone to use the platform/runways that
, extended southeast from the building. Based on this information, staff removed that particular
runway prior to the 1991 spring training baseball season.
This work will consist of the contractor removing the three existing platforms/runways
and reconstructing all four platforms by arranging for pilings, new masonry walls, and
reinstalling the existing walkways slabs. The contract calls for all work to be completed by
October 1, 1992, so that is does not interfere with the Phillies' winter season or the spring
training which begins in January.
In response to a question, Assistant Public Works Director, Cecil Henderson indicated he
did not feel the project was throwing good money after bad. He stated the platforms were
not built the same as the building and it is proposed to add supports to the new platforms.

1992 Street Resurfacina Contract to R.E. Purcell Construction Co.. Inc., Odessa, FL, for
$756,767.29 (PW-11)
The purpose of the annual resurfacing program is to restore the roadway wearing surface
and to provide a protective coating from the elements to maintain the structural Integrity of
the roadway substructure throughout the road system. Roadways proposed for resurfacing
in this contract include resurfacing at the Infrastructure complex, taxiways at the Airpark and
the Gulf View Parking lot. The contract includes two minor roadway improvements at Ft.
Harrison at Seminole street (an enlargement of the turning radius at the southwest corner) and
. at Countryside Boulevard and Firestone Drive (enlargement of the turning radius). Five
substandard non-paved streets will be paved with this contract.
A question was raised regarding whether the streets in Tropic Hills would be addressed.
Cecil Henderson indicated the perimeter roads are a part of this contract and the interior
streets will be looked at. The City Manager indicated a change order will be coming forward
later to add more streets. Mr. Henderson was asked to provide information regarding the
Tropic Hills streets.
Discussion ensued with it being felt the resurfacing program was going well. In response
to a question, Mr. Henderson indicated the City owns Court Street from Missouri Avenue,
west to the curve and explained a map showing roads proposed to be resurfaced. He stated
the Public Works department continually reviews road resurfacing needs in different areas.

The request is for the annexation of unplatted land west of McMullen-Booth Road and
north of the Countryside Sports Complex. The property is bounded by Turtle Brooke
Subdivision (RS-B/low Density Residential) on the north, Eagles Glen Condo (RM-1 6/Medium
Density Residential) on the west, Countryside Sports Complex (P/SP) on the south, and two
churches and a day care center (P/SPl on the east. The owner's residence is on the north
portion of the property which has a 40-foot access corridor out to McMullen~Booth Road and
is addressed as 3160 McMullen Booth Road. Except for the 40~foot access along McMullen-

At the time Clearwater 1 9 Commerce Park was established, as its name implies, it was
anticipated that it would be utilized for commercial as well as light industrial uses. These
combined uses have existed side by side in the development since its initiation. The intent of
this zoning request is to bring the zoning for the property into agreement with its utilization.
Portions of the development have been used for Indoor Commercial Recreation/Entertainment
which is not an authorized use in an IL District. The applicant also desires to have the option
to utilize portions of the development for other uses permitted in commercial districts. Section
137.079 and 137.080 authorize any single or combination of permitted or conditional uses
identified or permitted in the Limited Industrial District or any commercially zoned district in
the Land Development Code in an IPD District. The applicant is requesting the continuation
of all permitted and conditional uses permitted in a Limited Industrial District, plus several
additional uses permitted in commercial districts.

Jim Polatty, Director of Planning and Development, indicated this item is for developing
a subdivision plan. l,n response to a question, Mr. Polatty stated an incentive was not used
to encourage annexation. Mr. Wright indicated the subdivision will need City sewer.
IPD Zonina for property located at 22067 US 19, Clearwater 19 Commerce Center, Lot 1,
14.13 acres m.o.l. (Kunnen Z92-07) (PlD-6)
This request is for a change in zoning from Industrial (lL) to Industrial Planned
Development (lPD) for Lot 1, Clearwater Commerce Center in order to allow a broader range
of uses, including commercial uses, than that permitted under the existing zoning for the
developed parcel. The property is located on the east side of U.S. 19 approximately 1950 feet
north of Drew Street. The property to the north of the applicant's is not in the City; it is
owned by Pinellas County and used by the County Highway Department. The property to the
east is occupied by the Fairwood Forest Town House Development and has a zoning of RPO-
12. The property to the south is occupied by Baywinds Apartments (RM-24), Acura Auto
Dealer (lL) (Lot 2, Clearwater 19 Commerce Center), and Performance Toyota (CH). The west
side of the applicant's property fronts on U.S. 19 across from Carpenter Field.
The City has previously approved a site plan for the Clearwater 19 Commerce Center.
The applicant is not proposing any changes in the site plan, and it is this approved site plan
that is proposed to be used as the required site plan accompanying the requested rezoning.
The rezoning of Lot 1 will leave Lot 2 zoned as limited Industrial. Lot 2 is just over two acres,
which is less than the minimum size specified for an IL District in Section 135.148 of the Land
Development Code. However, Lot 1 will continue to be used substantially as it has been, as
(~""l\. a commercial/industrial complex, under the proposed zoning change, so the continued IL
,;;."~l zoning of Lo! 2 is riot seen as a problem.
The approved site plan provides for 516 parking spaces, 22 more than the 494 spaces
required. "'lith the proposed rezoning, the usage of the center will not substantially change
and the parking presently provided will be adequate.
Mr. Polatty addressed some of the problems listed in this item, stating parking is an issue
of concern.

Discussion ensued regarding commercial uses in various zoning districts. The City
Manager suggested defining uses such as medlcol centers and trade schools which have
greater parking requirements. In response to a question regarding what would happen if
sufficient parking could not be provided, Mr. Wright indicated it would become a Code
Enforcement issue.
Variances are frequently required to the City's height regulations, particularly for
structures being erected in areas which have a minimum required floor elevation. The current
code makes some provision for added height of structures; however, there is an associated
"penalty" which requires additional setback for structures which exceed the base height
requirement.
The proposed ordinance would: 1) eliminate extra setback requirements for structures
which exceed base height requirements; 2) allow penetration of parapet walls for structures
with flat roofs into the maximum allowable height, not to exceed 30 inches above such height;
3) eliminate the requirement that the peaks of pitched roofs extend no more than four feet
above the maximum allowable height, relying simply on the average height for structures with
pitched roofs and 4) establish height as measured from either the actual grade or from the
minimum required flood elevation as applicable.
These proposed changes will greatly simplify the current code, especially as the code is
applied to buildings constructed in areas having required minimum floor elevations.
r~4~)
"..'.: In response to a question, Mr. Polatty indicated this amendment is needed due to the
large number of height variances being requested and granted for single family homes.
Stioulation Aareement regardin~ addino conditions to the oreviouslv aoproved conditional use
oermit and terminate aooeal reaardinQ True Value Supermarket located at 1205 N. Greenwood
Ave. (PLD.8)
The Commission authorized staff to pursue the appeal of the conditional use permit for
the True Value Supermarket located at 1205 N. Greenwood Avenue. The appeal was based
upon consistent code violations (including alcoholic beverage sales violations) by the property
owner, as well as concerns about the negative impacts of excessive concentrations of
alcoholic beverage sales in the North Greenwood community.
Since the initiation of the appeal, the Police Department has observed the applicant's
behavior and compliance. These observations, supported by comments from the community,
lead staff to believe the applican~is successfully operating within the code requirements.
A petition signed by a number of citizens supporting the dropping of the appeal has been
received. Staff has discussed the appeal and its associated issues with the North Greenwood
Association INGA) and the Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) Board of Directors. The
North Greenwood Merchants Association has previously gone on record of supporting the use
with some condItions. However, the NGA agreed the sale of alcoholic beverages was a

problem in the community; both the NGA and the NHS Board have appointed committees/task
forces to consider the issue and develop a written policy. The NGA, absent a formal policy,
has suggested staff limit its efforts to precluding new establishments from locating on North
Greenwood Avenue and solving neighborhood impact problems of existing establishments.
The groups currently appear to be comfortable with a policy of no net increases in the numbor
of alcoholic beverage, establishments on North Greenwood Avenue.
Consequently, instead of continuing with the appeal, staff feels it would be advantageous
for the City, the applicant and the community to pursue a settlement agreement which would
add the following three conditions to those imposed by the Planning and Zoning Board: 1) no
sale of beer in glass beverage containers holding less than 32 ounces; 21 no sale of alcoholic
beverages shall occur before 8:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 :00 p.m. on Sundays
and 3} the applicant shall replace the windows on the front part of building to the satisfaction
of the North Greenwood Merchants Association prior to the expiration of the trial period. Staff
feels the addition of these conditions will enable the applicant to be consistent with the wishes
of the community.
Discussion ensued regarding pursuing a settlement agreement and developing a written
policy with which the concerned parties are comfortable. Interest was expressed in bringing
the people in the community together for discussion.

Amend the 1991-92 Community DeveloDment Block Grant (CDBG) Final Statement to delete
demolition from the 1991-92 Final Statement, reallocate $29,000 that was budgeted for
demolition and allocate $25,724 in surplus program income as follows: 1) Ervin's All American
Youth Club - $15tOOO; 2) Tampa Bay Community Development Corp. - $15,000 and 3) City
Housing Rehabilitation - $ 24, 724 (PLD-1 0)
"
In 1990-91 the City received $175,724 in loan repayments. Only $150,000 in
repayments were budgeted for 91-92, therefore $25,724 is eligible to be reprogrammed.
Demolition funds allocated in the 1991-92 Final Statement have not been used to avoid
duplication of the City's existing demolition lien program; the $29,000 allocated to this activity
is proposed to be reprogrammed.
There are several Federal restrictions on COSG allocations. Federal requirements limit
the expenditures for public services and program administration. Of the $54,724 in
reprogrammed funds, a maximum of $20,618 could be allocated to public services. Staff
strongly recommends the City's additional public service commitments be limited to $15,000;
because actual expenditures made to subrecipients can overlap from one program year, it is
necessary to keep committed funds below the statutory maximum. The City's total committed
funds for public services under the recommendation will be $141,282 or $5,618 below the
HUD-mandated maximum.
Several agencies were denied funds for 1991-92. The unfunded requests were reviewed
by staff and the YWCA/Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting Program coordinator remains a
valid request. This position has been filled but is unfunded and is currently running at a
deficit.

Requests for mid-year allocations have been received from Ervin's All American Youth
Club and Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation (TBCDC). The Youth Club is
requesting funds to continue operations while faced with a financial shortfall due to loss of
a State grant. The Youth Club was allocated $1 5,200 for operations in the 1991-92 Final
Statement. On March 19, 1992 the Commission approved a contribution of $1 O,OOOto the
Youth Club. On April 2, the Commission considered extension of the agreement for use of the
facility at Holt Avenue.
TBCDC has fully committed the entire $20,000 allocation included in the 1991-92 Final
Statement. The requested funds will be used for the TBCDC Direct Assistance Loan Program
to provide down payment assistance for purchase of existing houses by qualified low or
moderate income families. Funds will be provided for down payment assistance for
approximately 9 families.
The $24,724 balance of surplus funds is requested to be allocated to the City Housing
Rehabilitation Program. Additional rehab funds have been allocated under the HOME program,
however, funding for administration is not eligible under HOME. The recommended allocation
will permit the City and CNHS to fully utilize HOME revenues.
A question was raised regarding the Direct Assistance Loan, Program with it being
indicated repayment is to begin after six years.
(1''1'1 Chris Papandreas, Community Development Manager, explained in response to a

The City will begin the 18th year of CDBG funding on October 1, 1992. The 18th year
entitlement award is $808,000 and program income is expected to generate $127,000; the
1992-93 budget will allocate $935,000.
The application prepared for submittal to HUD allocates funds for Public Services (13%
of total budget), Public Facilities (2%), Infil Housing (31 %), Homeless Facilities (2%), Housing
Rehabilitation (36%), Economic Development (5%) and Administration (11 %). Twenty-five
requests for funding were received from 20 separate agencies.
These funding requests and the 1992-93 budget were the subject of the NAC meetings
held on May 19 and May 26, 1992. The budget included in the Final Statement is the

Fedoral regulations limit Public Service expenditures to $147,5000 (15 % of the sum of
the 1992.93 grant award plus 15% of 1990-91 program income). Administrative expenses
are limited to 20% of the budgeted amounts.
Questions were raised whether some of the Housing Authority's payment in lieu of taxes
could be used for carpeting of the Atrium. There were also questions whether there is any
overlap in the funding recommended for the Housing Authority and monies they will be
receiving from the federal government. Staff is to investigate.
Direction recardina changes to notification reauirements for vacation reauests (WSO)(CLK-2)
According to current City code, only abutting property owners are required to be notified
of requests to vacate easements or rights-of-way. A request was made that the Commission
consider changing the code to require notification of all property owners within 200 feet as
tor land use plan and zoning amendment requests. Mr. William Wallace, the citizen making
this request, is particularly interested in the vacation at rights-of-way, but believes the
notification requirements should be expanded for all vacation requests.
In response to this request, the opinions of the City Attorney and the Public Works
Director were requested. In talking to Mr. Wallace, he indicated he felt the easements andlor
rights-at-way to be vacated should also be physically posted as are zoning requests.
If changes are made to the notification process, it is suggested the change be limited to
vacation of right-of-way only, as vacation of drainage and utility easements have little or no
t, impact on others than the abutting property owners.
Questions were raised regarding the notification process. It was indicated vacations are
advertised in the newspaper legal section and letters certifying vacations are not currently
required by the City.
Consensus was there was no justification for changing the code to require additional
property owners be notified of vacation requests. Staff is to draft a letter to Mr. Wallace.
Order of Aaenda items (WSO)(CLK)
In response to a question, the City Manager stated the order in which items are heard
is set by Commission policy and the Commission may move an item up if they think it is
necessary.
Discussion ensued with regard to determining the sequence of lengthy or controversial
items. It was indicated if the Commission feels an issue should be addressed earlier than it
is scheduled, they may request during work session to revise agenda order.
No change to the current procedure was directed.
