The Chair called the meeting to order at 8:08 a.m. at the Marina.
To I provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not necessarily
discussed in that order.
ITEM 2 - Minutes Approval
Member Horne said he had been present at the December 8, 1999, meeting and
requested his name be added to the attendance list. As no other corrections to the
e~) min.utes were noted, the Chair said the minutes of the regular meeting of December 8,.
v~.. 1999, stand approved as corrected.
ITEM 3 - Other Business
Update on Army Corps. Of Engineers
Harbormaster William Morris said the Army Corps of Engineers, Coast Guard, and
FDEP (Florida Department of Environmental Protection) had toured the shoaling area, the
main channel to the Intracoastal, and alongside the Memorial Causeway. Surveys will test
the quality of sand to be dredged. Mr. Morris said a 1984 agreement between the eity,
Shepherds Restaurant, and the Ramada Inn provides that any beach quality sand will be
deposited along Shepherds and the Ramada Inn's shorelines. FDEP has strict guidelines
related to sand quality.

Mr. Morris said the new marina parking lot should be completed by month's end.
Plans are to restrict use to monthly parking passes only. Annual passes will not be
permitted and meters are not planned. The parking department is responsible for the Jot.
During the week, marina employees and buildiJ:lg tenants, including postal employees can
use the lot and free up 70 parking spaces at the Marina. It was remarked that many boat
captains, while anxious to provide parking for their customers, parlc. in front of their boats.
It was suggested a gate with a pass card system operate between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00
p.m. After hours, the gate could be opened for meter use. A gate will decrease policing
needs. It was suggested that meter revenue could fund gate costs. Meter boxes with

tickets for car windows were suggested for Clearwater Beach. eoncern was expressed
those. meters require exact change.
. .
Mr. Marris reported he had received a request for space for a bus turn-around near
Coronado at the beach. Accommodation would require removal of a median and some
trees. Options include the area in front of Bill Goodwin's,' or where grass parking has been
created. .
Mr. Morris said bi-weekly meetings are scheduled regarding the proposed beach
parking garages. It is proposed the first floor of the Pier 60 plus garage will be used for
municipal use~ and related parking needs. . Plans are tentative.
Concern was expressed th.e City Commission had not addressed south beach traffic
issues before moving forward with the parking garage. Opposition to the Pier 60 plus
parking garage was expressed. It was felt the board should base its recommendations on
City Commission decisions.
. . One resident indicated a beach-parking garage would shield the Marina from a
hurricane.

One tenant reported Belleair Beach had suggested a zero tolerance policy in
waterways and plans to place buoys in no wake zones along the shoreline and in the gulf.
It 'was felt boat activity should not be prohibited near docks. It was noted that a
Clearwater ordinance prohibits speeds in excess of 5 mph within 50 feet of the shore,
shoreline, bulkhead, or structure. It was stated a contract to police waterways is
unnecessary as the Pinellas County Sheriff's department' and Florida Marine Patrol already
police the marine ways.
The tenant felt coverage is inadequate. Mr. Morris said the frequent realignment of
buoy lines is labor. intensive. If Sand Key beach is marked for safe bathing, vessel access
will be denied. The public beach then would require lifeguards, etc. Concern was
expressed a safe bathing limit designation would require Sand Key property owners to
relinquish their riparian rights to the beach. Concern was expressed that the Sand Key
beach is public and does not belong to any civic association.. It was noted the Marine
Advisory Board had not been consulted before an ordinance regarding marine ways was
approved as it had been considered as a police enforcement matter.
ITEM 4 - Adiournment
The meeting adjourned at 9:01 a.m.
