1. WRITTEN SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: (Code Section 3-913.A)
Provide complete responses to the six (6) GENERAL APPLICABILITY CRITERIA - Explain how each criteria is achieved, in detail:
The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which
it is located.
The proposed parking (6 Stalls) will be located adjacent to Highland Avenue and will be landscaped to buffer the view from
adjacent properties. The Proposed parking lot will not adversely impact the character of the adjacent properties.
2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly
impair the value thereof.
The proposed parking areas (6 Stalls) will be located within the interior property of the existing residential complex and will
no imps the development of adjacent properties or buildings.
3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed parking areas (5 standard and 1 handicapped) will improve the circulation of emergency vehicles by reducing
the likelihood o vehicle parking on the roadside. The project will improve eat an safety issues related to emergency
vehicle circulation.
4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion.
The proposed off street parking areas should decrease illegal roadside parking and improve traffic circulation through the
subdivision.
5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
The addition of off street parking is consistent with the character of the adjacent developments. Also Sunset Ridge Unit 2
appears to have little or no buffers along Kings Hwy and has a setback of less than 7' parcel ID no. (022915882000001230)
Iso, parcel ID No 210igbland Ave has an existing parking-lot setback of approx 7' from
the ROW line.
6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts,
on adjacent properties.
The proposed parking areas should reduce the amount of traffic through adjacent neighborhoods due to the fact that visitors
to the subject parcel will not have to search adjacent neighborhoods looking for a parking space.

WRITTEN SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: (Residential Infill Project Criteria)
? Provide complete responses to the seven (7) RESIDENTIAL INFILL PROJECT CRITERIA- Explain how each criteria is achieved, in detail:
1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the intensity and
development standards.
The subject parcel was designed for high density residential and as a result of this design there is very limited space
available for the placement of off-street visitor parking. A reduction in the setback requirement will allow for 6 visitor parking
spaces which will improve the traffic circulation within the existing development.
2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project will not materially reduce the fair market value of abutting
properties. (Include the existing value of the site and the proposed value of the site with the improvements.)
The average value of the existing residential units is approx. $150,000.00 the proposed parking areas will cost approx.
$20,000 to construct and will add value beyond the actual construction cost, to the entire development.
3. The uses within the residential infill project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater.
The use within the residential infill project is permitted, and in fact adjacent properties of a similar design all have extensive
off street and visitor parking available.
4. The uses or mix of use within the residential infill project are compatible with adjacent land uses.
The proposed parking within the subject parcel is compatible with adjacent land uses. All adjacent property of similar type
have sufficient off-street and visitor parking available.
5. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
for development.
The proposed off street parking areas should decrease illegal roadside parking and improve traffic circulation through the
subdivision and will be an immediate upgrade for the entire development.
6. The design of the proposed residential infill project creates a form and function that enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of
the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole.
The proposed parking areas will improve the circulation of emergency vehicles by reducing the likelihood of vehicle parking
on the roadside. The project will improve health and safety issues related to emergency vehicle circulation.
7. Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are justified by the benefits to community character and the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole.
A reduction in the setback requirement will allow for 6 visitor parking spaces which will improve the traffic circulation within
the existing development. The proposed parking areas should reduce the amount of traffic through adjacent neighborhoods
due to the fact that visitors to the subject parcel will not have to search adjacent neighborhoods looking for a parking ace.

Board of Directors Meeting Minutes
February 17, 2010
The Board of Director's Meeting was called to order at 6:05 p.m. at the Menaul Fine Arts
Center.
Board members present were: Karen Todd, Ivan Duimovic and Mike Clark.
Three owners were also in attendance: Jeannie Clark, Steve Sanders, and Beth Sanders.
Proof of notice was established by mail to the owners, posting of the notice on the
Community Bulletin Board and an e-mail to the community prior to the meeting.
The minutes of the previous meeting were not available. K. Todd said we would wait
until the following meeting to handle them.
K. Todd read the report from Leland Management that included data on delinquencies
and fmancial condition.
There was discussion of Cornerstone Landscaping needing a new review of the property
as the freeze has created additional damage. I. Duimovic agreed to work with Renee
Frith to address this. The fencing has been approved and stakes have been placed for its
installation. This should be done as soon as possible and before the cypress trees are
planted. I. Duimovic will speak to Cornerstone about using the holly behind Talisker for
the areas in front of the culdesac fencing to discourage climbers.
The one account in arrears will receive a lien foreclosure that will allow the renter to stay
until the HOA fees are caught up.
The survey for the parking has been finished and delivered to the engineering firm. K.
Todd will follow up with them on the next step for the parking spaces. She also found
out that individual parking spaces in front of units will not be acceptable to the City of
Clearwater and cannot be approved by the ARC. The Board authorized K. Todd to move
ahead with the project of getting parking spaces in the community
The major issue of violations centered on the problems being created by the tenant in
2021 Strathmill who has been unwilling to communicate with the owner and is allowing
her dog to run loose in the community and her guests to park in unoccupied driveway
without owner permission. The owner wants to work with our attorneys to get the
situation resolved.
K. Todd made the motion to approve, seconded by I. Duimovic, passed unanimously.
The next meeting is scheduled for March 16 at 6 PM at the Menaul Fine Art Gallery on
Hercules.
With no further business to come before the Board, Karen Todd made a motion to
adjourn the meeting at 7:00 p.m., seconded by Ivan Duimovic, passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen Todd

GENERAL INFORMATION:
REQUEST: Flexible Development application to permit the construction of six
additional off-street parking spaces for an existing 66-unit attached

Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 4.4 acre site is located on the east side of North Highland Avenue between Union Street and
Sunset Point Road.
At it's meeting on August 4`" 2005, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved the
preliminary plat (PLT2005-00014) for Highland Glen, which created 66 attached dwelling
Community Development Board - November 16, 2010
FLD2010-09026 - Page 1 of 6
(townhome) lots and common areas. The site was developed under minimum standards through
building permits.
The property is compromised of 66 units with 2 tandem parking spaces per unit (one driveway,
one garage). There are no guest or handicap parking spaces in the development. Families with
more than two cars have no additional parking. This has led to parking on the 24 foot wide street,
which is the minimum width for two way traffic. The street is not wide enough to accommodate
both on-street parking and two-way traffic. This has been a continual concern for fire and
ambulance services as their path has been blocked by parked cars resulting in lengthened
response time.
Development Proposal:
The proposal is to construct 6 additional off-street parking spaces. A single parking space is
proposed at the north entrance on the private property directly to the south of Bowmore Drive.
The property owner has agreed to the addition of this parking space and entered into a recorded
parking easement and shared parking agreement. The proposed parking space will be three feet
longer than the regularly required 18 feet, a total of 21 feet in length. This additional length is to
keep cars parked in the proposed space out of the site visibility triangle. The extended parking
space also serves to prevent larger vehicles from blocking the fire hydrant which is at the north
east corner of the proposed parking space. This has been found to be acceptable to both the Fire
Department and Traffic Engineering. A reduction from the required front setback of 25 feet to
7.54 feet is necessary to accommodate this parking space. The parking space will be screened
with existing hedges and trees.
A single handicap parking space is proposed at the south entrance on the HOA owned property
directly to the north of Linkwood Drive. This handicap parking space will connect directly to a
public walkway, and will be the only handicap parking space in the development.
Four parking spaces are proposed at the south entrance directly to the west of Linkwood Drive.
The proposed parking spaces will result in the relocation of a fire hydrant and the removal and
relocation of a magnolia tree that will be replaced with two accent trees. A reduction from the
required front setback of 15 feet to 7.95 feet is necessary to accommodate these parking spaces.
The parking spaces as well as a guardrail will be screened with hedges and two accent trees.
Additional groundcover landscaping will also be installed between the two retaining walls in this
area.
Aside from the addition of the six off-street parking spaces there will be no changes to the
existing development. As such, there will be no impact on density, minimum lot size/area or
maximum building height. The development proposals compliance with the remaining applicable
development standards of the Community Development Code (CDC) is discussed below.
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR): Pursuant to CDC Section 2-401.1, the maximum allowable ISR
is 0.85. The existing ISR is 0.537 and the proposed ISR is 0.544, which is consistent with Code
provisions.
Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Section 2-404 for Residential Infill Redevelopment
Projects, the minimum front setback can range between 10 - 25 feet, but may be varied based
Community Development Board - November 16, 2010
FLD2010-09026 - Page 2 of 6
upon the Flexibility Criteria. The proposal includes a reduction to the front (west) setback to 7.45
feet (to pavement).
The front (west) setback (to pavement) does not meet the development standard; however that
standard may be varied based on the benefits to the community character and the immediate
vicinity. Staff concurs that the reduced setbacks benefit the community character and the
immediate vicinity as the parking is needed to resolve an emergency service and community
dilemma. The parking will be screened and will have an attractive appearance and enhanced
landscape design.
Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the
driveways, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will obstruct views at a level
between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-foot sight visibility
triangles. The single parking space at the north entrance is partially within the site visibility
triangle. The parking space is longer than the standard 18 feet so that vehicles may park outside
of the site visibility triangle. Traffic Engineering is in agreement with the extended parking
space. All landscaping within the site visibility triangle will be maintained at 30 inches in height.
Utilities: The proposed single space at the north entrance will be very close to an existing fire
hydrant. The proposed space is 3 feet longer than required (21 feet total) so that a parked vehicle
will not block the use of the fire hydrant. Also, the four proposed parking spaces at the south
entrance will result in the relocation of an existing fire hydrant. The Fire Department has agreed
to both of the items.
Landscaping: This site currently meets landscape requirements. With the proposed reduction in
front setbacks the required landscape buffer will also be reduced. Pursuant to CDC Section 3-
1202.D.1, this site is required a 15-foot wide landscape buffer along Highland Avenue. The
proposal includes a 7 foot wide landscape buffer along Highland Avenue with continuous hedges
and one tree every 35 feet.
The landscape buffers include trees such as red bud, winged elm and shrubs such as viburmum
and groundcover such as sweet potato vine.
As part of the Comprehensive Landscape Program the applicant has proposed to buffer the
proposed parking spaces with shrubs and trees. The four parking spaces will have sweet potato
vine between the retaining walls facing Highland Avenue.
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.E.1. the proposed vehicular area is greater than 4,000 square
feet and is not required to have interior island landscaping. The proposed parking spaces will be
buffered with hedges and trees.
Comprehensive Landscape Program: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.G, the landscaping
requirements contained within the Code can be waived or modified if the application contains a
Comprehensive Landscape Program satisfying certain criteria. The following table depicts the
consistency of the development proposal with those criteria:
