RE: Amended Development Order for Case No. FLS2005-08060/PLT2004-00017

Dear Mr. Armstrong johnse :
This letter constitutes a Development Order pursuant to Section 4-202.E of the Community
Development Code. On September 29, 2005, the Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed
your application for (1) Flexible Standard Development to permit 240 attached dwellings (townhomes)
in the proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR) District, under the provisions of Section 2-303.A;
(2) Preliminary Plat approval for 240 townhome lots (PLT2004-00017); and (3) Vacation of a utility
easement. The DRC recommended approval of the application with the following bases and
conditions:
Bases for Approval:
1. The proposal complies with Attached Dwelling criteria under the provisions of Section 2-303.A;
2. The plan complies with General Applicability Criteria under the provisions of Section 3-913; and
3. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area.
Conditions of Approval:
1. That the final design and color of the buildings be consistent with the conceptual elevations
submitted with this application;
2. That Units 106 and 131 - 134 be limited to a six-foot by 10-foot, covered rear patio. Evidence of
this restriction, embodied in condominium documents, homeowner's documents, deed restrictions
or like forms, shall be submitted to the Planning Department prior to the issuance of the first
Certificate of Occupancy;
3. That the six-foot high solid wall to the rear of Units 93 - 100 and to the rear of Units 110 - 153 be
finished with stucco, be painted and be maintained by the homeowner's association;
4. That existing signs for the restaurant and the golf course adjacent to Countryside Boulevard be
removed prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy;

5. That freestanding signage meet Code provisions, be monument-style and be designed to match the
exterior materials and colors of the buildings;
6. That the easement be extended to provide for an accessible route for maintenance of the ditch along
Countryside and the pipe at the northeast corner of the site (suggested from Nebbiolo Road past
Well #56 to easement);
7. That a note be placed on the Final Plat and within the Homeowners Association documents that the
City of Clearwater's responsibility of the ditch along Countryside Boulevard will be for
maintenance of flow only. All other maintenance, to include erosion, aesthetics, mowing and tree
trimming, will be the sole responsibility of the Homeowners Association;
8. That all proposed utilities (from the right-of-way to the proposed building) be placed underground;
9. That, prior to the issuance of any permits, the following be shown on revised civil plan drawings:
a. Eliminate the connector drive between the ends of the "Y" at the north end of Dolcetto
Road. Extend/lengthen the pavement northwest for Unit 180 to allow the trash truck
adequate backup, but maintaining the 22-foot north setback (homeowner will need to place
their black barrel on southeast side of driveway);
b. Remove the concrete pad shown on Sheet 21/35 across the street from Unit 180 and Note 1
below Section A-A;
c. Extend/lengthen pavement to the end of Nebbiolo Road in front of Unit 20 to have
pavement for the roadway end at an angle, maintaining the 20-foot setback indicated
(homeowner will need to place their black barrel on south side of driveway or slightly in
front of Unit 19);
d. Remove the concrete pad shown on Sheet 18/35 across the street from Unit 17 and Note 2
to the right of Section A-A; and
e. A dumpster enclosure, meeting City specifications and designed with exterior materials and
colors of the principal buildings, be provided at the cabana/clubhouse, meeting a 25-foot
front setback to Enterprise Road;
10. That, prior to the issuance of any permits, a Tree Preservation Plan (Plan) be provided to the
Planning Department, prepared by a certified arborist, consulting arborist, landscape architect or
other specialist in the field of arboriculture. This Plan must show how the proposed buildings,
parking, stormwater and utilities impact the critical root zones (drip lines) of tree to be preserved
and how you propose to address these impacts (ie; crown elevating, root pruning and/or root
aeration systems). Other data required on this Plan must show the tree's canopy line, actual tree
barricade limits (2/3 of the drip line and/or in the root prune lines if required), tree barricade detail
and any other pertinent information relating to tree preservation. The Plan must especially address
grade changes along the property lines adjacent to the residential uses to the west and the
incorporation of existing trees into the top of bank of the retention ponds; and
11. That, prior to the issuance of building permits or the recording of the Final Plat, whichever occurs
first, open space/recreation impact fees be paid.
I concur with the findings of the Development Review Committee and, through this letter, approve
your application for Flexible Standard Development with the above three conditions. The approval is
based on and must adhere to the site plan and application dated received November 29, 2065.
