Marriott Seashell Resort
Meeting Clearwater Beach Economic Development Needs
November 10,2000
Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
Clearwater has a unique opportunity to fulfill three key Clearwater Beach goals, the
Beach Walk, a Resort Hotel, and a Public Parking Garage, all in one project decision.
For the past 36 months Clearwater has aggressively pursued a series of investments
of time, talent and resources to redevelop its unique barrier island beach to be a high
performing asset in the tourism economy of Clearwater and Pinellas County. We're
proud to bring you the 250 room Marriott Seashell Beach Resort with a 1,000 space
parking facility accessible directly to the Beach and an exciting restaurant & retail
destination.
The Beach Walk plan goal of removal on parking on the sand can be accomplished by
providing the public with a major self-supporting garage with direct beach access,
providing for maximum use and benefit to resident and tourism visitors alike. Designed
with right-in I right-out access, the garage needs no traffic signals. This facility has
special importance to families with children and our senior population, especially to our
citizens with movement limitations who need safe and convenient access. Providing
the altemative for covered parking will also be a major beach visitor benefit.
The creation of the Beach Walk and commitment to public-private development of the
parking garage with a pedestrian beach ''walk over" creates an unbelievable setting
which has enabled us to attract Marriott, an international world class flag hotel. This
project will be the 21st century prototype for beach resort development. Pinellas
County's recently completed comprehensive tourism visioning process concluded that
new product is at the top of the list for dispelling the perception that our tourism
infrastructure is tired and obsolete. Linking our new Marriott Seashell Beach Resort
with its sister facilities in Tampa and Orlando will bring significant economic
development benefits to Clearwater and Pinellas County.
.
This proposal sets out a process that follows a methodical schedule to review the draft
agreement, analyze the resulting costs and benefits, and reach conclusions in a timely
way. This process will produce agreements, commitments and approvals that allow
us both to accomplish the outstanding challenge before us. We commit to you our
professional and capable team that is community-based, open, creative and
committed to a public-private working relationship that will be exceeded in quality only
by the improvements we jointly accomplish.
Clearwater's success in implementing Beach by Design will be our success. Let us
begin!
incerely,
,

Team Leader

Marriott Seashell Resort Project
Meeting Clearwater Beach Economic Development Needs
Project Setting I Beach by Design
Responsive
This exciting project is planned in response to the outstanding efforts of the community to create
the Beach by Design plan as a redevelopment methodology for Clearwater Beach. The city's
long history of Beach planning now can advance to Beach implementation. The call to action by
resident business and professional input has been consistent in desiring an improved image with
major entries, promenades and parking facilities. Catalytic projects are already underway and
we're please to propose the first South Beach - Gulfview - Beach Walk catalytic project. Our
project is responsive to the efforts the city has made and we look forward to working to provide
improved land-use, mobility, off street parking and develop a catalytic destination Marriott hotel
resort.
Recognized Need
The Beach walk district is our first priority for investment action. With over a year of effort to
move from concept to development commitments, we are proud to address the conditions your
planning process has defined. We concur with the recognition that the greatest impact from the
plan will be achieved by the addressing the Gulfview Boulevard challenge. Responding to the
definition of Gulfview Boulevard, south of Pier 60 Park, as "lacking coherence in the city's
stewardship of its most important resource" and recognizing "the public realm along South
Gulfview is all but an embarrassment". The street is "shabby with poor definition, substandard
sidewalks... DOT street lights, no bicycle paths" and places hundreds of surface parking spaces
between pedestrian and the Beach. Beach by Design states that this makes ''the view from
South Gulfview - potentially one of the great beach-front drives in the world - one of asphalt and
parked cars". We request your plan commitment and ultimate implementation of the most critical
Beach improvement needed being the Beach walk concept proposed in Beach by Design.
Mobility
Your commitment to this improvement will stimulate the investment in a major destination Marriott
Beach Resort. The road improvements proposed in the mobility recommendations will enhance
both movement and appearance of the area. Each element is critical - from distribution to
alternative modes and creating high-quality pedestrian bicycle facilities. In Pinellas County, with

our water side drives are limited to causeways, the Beach Walk proposal creating a "Great Beach
Drive" where "the pedestrian has priority" is just the setting for the catalytic Marriott Seashell
Beach Resort. This major attraction with a major parking facility can be a key destination to
meaningful water and roadway transit links between the downtown and the Beach.
Catalytic Project and Hotel Incentive Pool
Beach walk requires a public-private partnership. We're pleased to be the first to propose a
project to respond and validate the opportunity and demands of providing a mixed-use project
that will change the character of the Beach Walk I Gulfview District. We are responsive to the
definition of a catalytic project in every respect:
. We have assembled a site within the designated resort development area
. We exceed the minimum of 200 hotel rooms, proposing 250.
. The Marriott Seashell will provide the full-service restaurant with room service.
. The Marriott Seashell will provide valet parking, concierge and a complete spa.
. A quality conference center is planned, scaled to the capacity of the hotel
. The resort will access off-site sports venues for golf, fishing and boating.
. The Marriott Seashell resort is a full-service urban hotel facility with internal lobbies and
circulation.
. Marriott Hotels bring a high quality image, brand and product commitment that insures
the resort destination to be recognized nationally and internationally, particularly with the
Marriott network existing in the Florida market.
. Marriott's 21st century design standards applied to beach resort setting will create an
exceptional architectural design with high-quality finishes and furnishings. The
architectural concept design for this proposal was prepared by award-winning architects
Cooper Carry Associates of Atlanta.
. This outstanding site is approximately the scale of two football fields, and will be 1.6
acres in size after the Third Street vacation. This site is in excess of the minimum 1 acre
requirement. The project site is strategically at the midpoint of the beach, where the wide
surface parking lots would be removed. This allows for the garage to be at the center
point of the Beach Walk roadway.
. The proposed parking deck will not be naked exposed concrete, but will be completely
screened by the restaurants, retail and hotel. This building will not look like a parking
deck. The parking deck will be financially sound and pay for both public and private
components. The garage design allows for future connection to either North or South
resort expansions.
. Parking removal from the surface lots west of Gulfview can be in the range of 200 - 300
spaces. In addition, the Beach Walk design provides for two parking surface parking

"eyebrows" on the east side of the roadway, providing significant parking in proximity to
the promenade and existing Gulfview retail.
.
Design guidelines are set in the Beach by Design plan approvals and the majority can be
accommodated by this outstanding Marriott resort facility. The challenge to enclose the
deck on its major fronts is a primary objective. The building's mass will present
challenges to conform to the guidelines, and may require some stepbacks as the height
passes the 42 foot mark. The percentage of kitchen facilities may need to be 15 to 20
percent.
.
Special street frontage design efforts will create an outstanding experience for pedestrian
movement on both Coronado and the Gulfview promenade. Detail design for creating
safe pedestrian zones and accommodating ingress-egress to the parking deck will
require close design interface for both roadways.
.
The magnitude of private investment proposed by this project will create a direct linkage
and immediate response to public investments made in mobility and amenity elements
proposed in Beach by Design. The parallel alignment for a form of intra-beach transit will
be stronger with a stop and a relationship to the parking deck with a Beach Pedestrian
over-pass.
.
The HOK design concept developed for the city has a positive image and scale to
accomplish the objectives presented in the South Gulfview plan to accomplish the "great
address which will stimulate revitalization and renovation".
Lastly we believe the utilization of the County's existing Primary Activity Center Designation is
a creative tool that utilizes an existing urban intensity land-use procedure but limits its benefit
to accomplish only the incentive desired by the city's redevelopment plan for hotel resort
facilities within the limited hotel Beach front districts. This procedure will make a significant
benefit to plan implementation. 400 units, available only for five-years, is a manageable
incentive tool needed to create the opportunity for desired urban hotel resort facilities such as
the proposed Marriott. The Development Agreement is an appropriate vehicle for the
accomplishment of this project and will require considerable focus and discussion for
understanding and consensus

Marriott Seashell Resort Project Description
Meeting Clearwater Beach Economic Development Needs
PARKING GARAGE - Public 500 -700 Private 350 - 450
Located behind the hotel and restaurant/retail f~de, the parking garage will provide shaded parking
with a pedestrian crossover to the beach. This parking provides the benefit and safety of beach-front
parking without blocking views and allows the City to remove most of the "sea of asphalt" presently
marring our beach-front. The design solves the problem of an exposed parking garage creating an
eyesore, which the public found so objectionable at the Pier 60 location. This 1000 car facility is
planned to have a commercial condominium form of QIMlership, and spaces will be QIMled by the City
of Clearwater and the hotel:
. 600 Public Parking spaces, QIMled by the City, serving the beach, restaurants and retail
. 400 Hotel Spaces, QIMled by the Hotel, serving the Hotel guests
The exact number of spaces may vary somewhat, depending on the needs of both the City and the
Hotel.
Management will be provided by the Commercial Condominium Association, and Operating Expenses
of the Garage will be shared proportionately by the QIMlers, reducing the burden on all. The
Association will competitively select professional parking operators to manage the facility to the high
standards demanded by the public, and by Marriott Corporation.
The City of Clearwater will purchase their spaces on the terms set forth in the Development Agreement,
at a price of $17,900 per space purchased. This price includes one-half the project land cost, which
enables the economics of the hotel necessary to bring a hotel of Marriott's caliber.
The feasibility of the Garage from the City's side has been analyzed by Republic Parking, a nationally
recognized leader in the parking service industry. Republic's report follows, but may be summarized in
finding that the City's extra income from restaurants and retail, combined with reduced operating costs
by shared parking, results in a self-sustaining City investment with a debt coverage ratio of 1. 7x.
Not only does this garage pay for itself, but it enables the hotel project, which produces redevelopment
of the beach, resuscitates tourism and produces the accompanying tax benefits. This is truly a win-win
project.

November 9, 2000
Mr. Jim Egnew
Prime Interests
748 Broadway, Suite 202
Dunedin, FL 34698
Dear Jim:
I have enclosed our proforma for your development in Clearwater, FL. As discussed,
the proforma shows the costs associated with the development as well as anticipated
revenue. As you can see, there is a healthy operating profit even though the proforma
reflects open space in the facility during peak times. As such, you could consider the
revenue shown to be somewhat conservative.
We remain interested in the facility for several reasons:
Shared Use: This facility is an excellent example of a shared use garage. The daytime
demand for the facility will be high for beach parkers. As evening falls, these patrons
will leave the facility allowing room for the restaurant patrons expected. The demand
curves for each user group are opposing, allowing for maximum turn and use of the
spaces in the facility.
Shade: Having operated surface parking lots in Florida, I am aware of how important it
is to find shade when you plan on visiting the beach for the day. With temperatures in
the high 90's, the temperature inside an uncovered vehicle can reach into the 120's.
Many parking patrons will seek out shade so the contents of their vehicles are not
damaged by the heat. This facility, being both shaded and extremely convenient to the
beach will surely be a favorite.
Convenience and Proximity: The routing of traffic after exiting the bridge and
roundabout will make this facility one of the first seen when a beach patron visits
Clearwater. Location is very important to a parking facility and this project is in a prime

.
.
.
spot. There is a clear line of site from the beach to the garage with a pedestrian
walkway for added convenience. We can easily envision the parking patron spotting the
location with it's shaded parking and proximity to the beach and making the quick
decision to use the facility.
Amenities: The garage will offer the most convenient, shaded parking for beachgoers
as well as a pedway to reach the beach. It will also offer other amenities which will be
very attractive to the parking patron. Showers will allow the patron to clean up before
entering their vehicles for the drive home. This added comfort would be greatly
appreciated. In addition, the facility will have lockers which allow for storage of personal
effects should the patron wish to visit one of the restaurants before heading home. And
finally, the restaurants and retail themselves are a great attraction.
Proforma: The proforma reflects a conservative approach, yet the debt coverage for the
facility is still very comfortable. When calculating the revenue generated by the facility
we utilized industry standards that were tempered with experience and judgment. For
example, the restaurant revenue was decreased due to the "shared use" concept.
Shared use is, in a sense, a prediction that some of the traffic generated by a venue will
be shared with another venue. For example, some of the people who visit the beach
will also visit a restaurant. They park once, but visit two venues. As such, we have
decreased the demand called for by the amount of shared use. In the restaurant, the
discount was 30%. The expense side of the proforma reflects an actual operation and
is very realistic. In summary, the facility shows great cash-flow potential.
Demand: The development promises exciting restaurant and retail tenants, which will
attract patrons and thereby, demand for the parking facility. When we augment an
internal demand with that generated by decreasing the existing beach parking by 200
spaces, it only heightens our enthusiasm for the project. The project itself will surely
attract more beach patrons to the south beach district.
Spreading the risk: the hotel will share the operating expenses as well as debt service.
Their assumption of 40% of the risk is certainly an attractive aspect which gives even
greater comfort in the facility.
As I've indicated, we are very bullish on the development. All of the factors I've touched
on above give us the sense that it will be very successful. We look forward to sharing in
that success.
Sincerely,
Mark Pratt
Regional Vice President

Marriott Seashell Resort Project Description
Meeting Clearwater Beach Economic Development Needs
RETAIL I RESTAURANT PROPOSAL - 35,000 - 50,000 Sq.Ft.
A comment heard all over the Bay area is that we lack quality waterfront settings for social outings. To
the residents of Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area, one of the most exciting elements of the project
will be the restaurants and retail shops that terrace the first few levels of the westem facade. We plan
four unique restaurants, all of which will overtook the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, there will be several
upscale shops that complement the quality of the restaurants and the Marriott Resort. The ability to
dine and relax in a beautiful waterfront setting will bring real meaning to the concept of a beach front
activity center.
The attraction of four waterfront restaurants will pull evening visitors from the entire market, and will
provide the bonus of evening parkers to the City's parking garage. The size, quality and price points of
these restaurants will be similar to that found in Urban Entertainment Center projects elsewhere, but
with a style to suit the new Clearwater Beach.
