Industrial.. Research and Technology URn to Preservation (P) for property located at 950 Old
Coachman Road and described in metes and bounds in section 7, township 29, range 16,
Pinellas County"s request recognizes the current and planned use of the 1 2-acre
property at 950 Old Coachman Road, In 1995, the property was developed for a surface
water management project to control flooding, The land use plan and zoning do not reflect
the current and future use of the site, which Pinellas County plans to maintain for water
management, The property, a' passive park, is compatible with the surrounding residential
area, The Preservation category recognizes the locatian and significance of natural resources
and insures their protection, A bridge between Northeast Coachman Park and this property
C;,) creates an ecologically pleaSing environment, The proposal impacts the natural environment
positively.. and does not require nor effect the provision of public services, Staff

category, and of the rezoning from Industrial.. Research & Technology to Preservation
district.
In response to a question.. Planning Assistant Director Cynthia Hardin said as this site
is developed, a boundary survey was not requested, She felt the waiver was warranted,
The application is unique as an existing flood management stormwater treatment pond.
Elizabeth Freeman, Plnellas County Planning Department, said extensive habitat
restoration has been done at this site in cooperation with SWFMWD ISouthwest Florida
Water Management District}. The project is used as an ongoing monitoring sampling site to
assess the effectiveness of stormwater treatment methods. The U. S. Department of
Agriculture has used the property for insect research, Pinellas County also partnered with
Florida Power to construct an osprey platform,
Consensus was for staff to provide detailed explanations of inconsistencies when
surveys are not required.
