Dougall- Sides,. Leslie Subject:. RE: CLW205103M,city,owned,lands.doc Dave, I left you a voicemail.. In any event, Tom Mahony indicated that Wayne Wells was. OK with the map he generated - which was as I understand it, pulled from the City's City -Owned property. atlas. That should be. accurate and. sufficient. The legal description appears to me to describe the subject area, but it is difficult for me make. that determination on such short notice. I would normally have my survey department map out such. a complicated description. As to the Land Ownership document, I would simply add a westerly boundary on the sixth line after "east" and before "and a 1200 foot wide .. ." This way, you close the legal as to the upland and then add the submerged lands to that description. Either way appears to be. legally. sufficient. If planning is OK with what you're presenting, we can address any questions going forward as long as they do not think that a technical error on these documents will delay your efforts. Let me know.

It looks fine and looks like it would meet the following Design Guidelines for Materials and Colors from the Downtown Plan: Materials The correct choices of building materials are paramount in the success of any building. Buildings should be constructed of high quality, long lasting materials to contribute to Downtown's stability, character and pedestrian experience. Building materials on the lower levels of buildings are specially important due to their proximity to the pedestrian environment. Materials should also be appropriate to the architectural style of the building to which they belong. Important character defining details such as brick corbelling, bonding pattern, joint spacing and color should be incorporated into the design.. Appropriate: * Materials compatible with the existing and /or desired context of the surrounding area and that are common to the area's historic construction methods /style. * The use of high - quality materials which result in buildings that will be as maintenance free as possible and long- term components of the urban fabric. • Building materials consistent with and relating to the architectural style of the building. • Building materials appropriate to the scale of the building. • The use of contemporary materials adapted to historic design elements. • Storefront level and upper levels that use visually compatible materials. • Use of the following durable materials within the first three floors of all buildings and recommended for all other floors: - Wood, stucco and /or or masonry exteriors. - Masonry exteriors finished in rusticated block. - Stucco, brick, stone, etc. - Storefront side piers, when provided, constructed of the same material as the upper facade or covered with stucco. - Pre -cast, cast -in -place or architectural concrete. -.Tile; and - Any other material found acceptable by the Community Development Coordinator and /or the Community Development Board, as applicable.. Inappropriate: • Exterior walls and skins of buildings designed and/or constructed of materials with a limited life expectancy. • Materials incompatible with the architectural style of the building. • The use of the following materials on building exteriors: -. Poorly crafted or "rustic" woodworking and finishing techniques; Cedar shakes; - Plywood (T1 -11 siding, etc.); -. Corrugated, mill finish or reflective metal wall panels; - Expanded metal (except for limited decorative applications); - Mill finish aluminum extrusions for windows and doorways; - Unfinished Concrete Masonry Units (CMU or cinder block); and -. Any other material found unacceptable by the Community Development Coordinator and /or the Community Development Board, as applicable. * The use of the following materials on the first three floors of building exteriors: - Foam except for architectural details and ornamentation; - Exterior insulated finish system (EIFS) except for architectural details and ornamentation; 7/30/2008 0 0 Page 2 of 6 Hardboard siding; - Plastic, metal and /or vinyl siding except for single - family dwellings; - Fiberglass panels; - Exposed aggregate (rough finish) concrete wall panels; Indoor- outdoor carpeting or astro -turf; and - Any other material found unacceptable by the Community Development Coordinator and /or the Community Development Board, as applicable. Color The color palette of a building is composed of the colors of the main body of the building, trim and accent colors. The colors chosen for awnings, canopies, shutters and roofs also contribute to the overall color scheme of a building. The overall color scheme of a building or project should reflect a cohesive pattern. These guidelines recognize that the review of a building's color scheme is a balance between an owner's creativity and individuality, the architectural style of the building and an overall harmonious vision for the Downtown. The use of a single color on all surfaces should be avoided. A two- or three -color scheme is encouraged to provide visual appeal. The main body color should be the predominant color of the building. The color tone of the main body should be guided by the size and height of the building, its location (corner or interior lot), and architectural style. The trim color is applied to architectural elements such as windows, doors, columns,. porches etc. The trim color should be a lighter or darker tone of the main body color, a complimentary color to the main body color or a neutral color. In a three -color scheme, the accent color should be used sparingly to highlight certain architectural elements such as a front door or awning. Appropriate: • The number and type of building colors appropriate for and consistent with the architectural style.. • Low reflectance exterior colors. • Gutters, downspouts, utility boxes, meters, etc. painted as part of the overall color scheme. Inappropriate: * Colors that are garish, gaudy, loud, excessive and ostentatious or that constitute a glaring and unattractive contrast to surrounding buildings. * Main body color that is from the deepest tones of the color wheel. * More than three different colors or color shades used on a single building unless appropriate to the architectural style of the building. • The use of fluorescent or day glow colors. • Black as the predominant exterior building color. • Single color schemes. For example using one color on every surface. • Clashing trim colors that are not complementary to the main body=lor and serve only to attract attention through their dissonance. As an example, yellow and red are clashing colors and not complementary and only serve to attract attention through their dissonance. • A solid line or band of color or group of stripes used in lieu of architectural details. • Color used to obscure important architectural features.

Use geo hay or gravel bags, etc. Hay Bales will not last, they don't work and they will end up. overboard or in the storm drains. C9 —This sheet conflicts with Sheet E4. C9 says contractor is to install new electric service after overhead is removed. Sheet E4 says relocation of overhead to underground by Progress Energy. C10— Provide detail for detectable warning surface. CI I —Is there a detail for the Pay Kiosk? C13— Provide detail of Trash Compactor Slab. C 17 —Why are we relocating a hydrant that is to be installed as a part of the Promenade Project? See Sheet U4 of the Clearwater Bayfront Promenade Project. The existing water meters need to be relocated. Is the existing irrigation system to be used or abandoned? It is in the way of construction. Contract Specifications: Where are they? We must be able to review and revise if necessary before this project goes to bid. 13. Wayne Wells — Planning 1.4 Provide survey. ® Sheets C -2, C -5, C-6, C -9, C -10, C -13, C -14, C -17, C -18, C -21, E -1 & E-4 — Show property lines (there is private property to the west and to the north). 3Q Sheets C -2, C -4, C -5, C -6, C -8 & C -9 — Remove proposed boat slips from the "Existing Site Plan" and "Demolition Plan" sheets. 4.4 Sheets C -2, C -3, C -4 & C -5 — Include the location of existing parking spaces in the southern and northern parking lots by the water, with the number in each row, as well as the location and number of existing on- street parking spaces on Drew Street and Cleveland Street. 5.4 Sheet C -2 — Unclear as to verbiage of "Proposed R/W" near the top of this sheet next to the match line. Is this rather "Existing R/W "? 6. Sheet C -6 — Note in water says "See Detail on Sheet D -3" apparently pointing to the erosion control hay bale. There is no detail on Sheet D -3 for erosion control hay bale. Sheet C -10 — Wheel stops are required for each parking space on the east side of the parking lot (Section 3- 1204.D). 8 Sheet C -10 — Indicate "Conc. slab for bench" in the SW portion of the "roundabout ". 9.1 Sheet C -10 — Plan should indicate the parking stall width of 9.0' is "typ" for all spaces. 10.J Sheet C -10 — Dimension the width of the drive aisle around the bridge column (each side). 11.4 Sheet C -10 — Show the boat slip access walk connecting to the sidewalk on the west side of the parking lot. Remove "future" verbiage on the boat slip access. 12.1 Sheet C -10 — If parking spaces are nine -feet wide typically, then it is unclear for the following: a. The 12 spaces on the west side of the parking lot north of the "roundabout" should be 108', not 107.9'; b. The 10 spaces on the east side of the parking lot south of the "roundabout" should be 90', not 90.5'. The dimension line at the "roundabout" for this parking row should be at the outside face of the curb, not the inside of the curb; and c. The 15 spaces on the east side of the parking lot north of the "roundabout" should be 135', not 137.3'. To provide required backup flair on the north side of this parking lot, remove 2.3 feet on east side of the northern end of the j parking lot (also revise Sheets C -6, C -14, C -18 and E -1). 13! Sheet C -10 — Provide a dumpster and enclosure meeting City Code for the southern portion of the boat slip marina, as it � is unreasonable to expect anyone to walk or drive all the way to the harbormaster building to dispose of their trash. �14J Sheet C -11 — Dimension the width of the sidewalk west of the northern parking lot. 15.1 Sheet C -11 — Indicate "Conc. slab for bench typ." at the compass rose at one of the bench slabs. 16.,i I planted relatively close to ea her; three palms = one shade tree, planted hwster of three). Revise to provide the required number of trees. QSheets C -18 and C -19 — Fire truck access from north end of southern parking lot to Cleveland Street — How will the fire truck driver know the location of the geoweb so as to stay on the access area? Will it be outlined somehow so the driver knows the path? Is the sidewalk along Cleveland Street being designed to withstand the weight of the fire truck? 35) Sheet C -18 — Code requires a continuous hedge along north side of southern parking lot (except for geoweb area). Extend hedge to the geoweb. 36. Sheets C -19 and C -20 — Landscape islands in the northern parking lot are large enough for shade trees to be planted. 37.� Alternately, two accent trees or three palms are required in the islands. Sheets C -19 and C -20 — Provide a continuous hedge with the equivalent of shade trees every 35 feet between the northern parking lot and the on- street parking on the west side of Drew Street. Due to the width of this planting area, only accent or palm trees can be planted within this area (two accent trees = one shade tree, planted relatively close to each other; three palms = one shade tree, planted in a cluster of three). 38. Sheet D -6 — Move to be Sheet C -22. 39. Sheet D -6 — Revise the Entrance Landscape Schedule for the following: Pa Indicate for the LI, LI2 and LJ that they must be a minimum of 2" caliper at time of planting; Indicate there must be a rain sensor for the irrigation system; and c. f Shrubs required to screen parking lots on the south and north sides of the southern parking lot and on the eastern / side of the northern parking lot must be a minimum of 18 -24" tall at time of planting. 40. ✓ Sheet E -1 — Unclear why this sheet is showing a "multi -space meter ticketing center" on the west side of the north end of the southern parking lot, when none is shown there on any other plans. 41. To be clear, is the electric service for the bollard lights and the parking lot lights for the southern parking lot being placed underground? 42. Need a detail for the compactor dumpster enclosure. Unclear how one gets into the dumpster enclosure to dump the trash. Unclear of the exterior material and color of the dumpster enclosure, including the gates. Should match the harbormaster buil , ing, at least in color. 437 It is presumed that the harbormaster building plans and the docks will be separate plans when submitting for Flexible Development approval by the CDB and will dovetail into these plans. 14. Rick Carnley — General Services No Comments at this time. 15. Richard Hamilton — Engineering. 16. Chris Hubbard -. Parks & Rec Artwork would be best located on grass /green space area detailed in sheet C -19 (located near middle of page, directly above city seal icon and right adjacent to "Truck rated geoweb under sod for fire truck access ") Other areas of placement conflict with landscaping designs and /or environmental hazards. A concrete slab /pedestal may need to be installed dependant upon style and size of selected artwork. 17. Rod Irwin — City Hall 18. Bill Morris — Marina Most of the upland plan does not impact the Boat slips, however we came up with one item and a possible solution we need to address now. We have no storage for: - Oil Spill containment and clean up supplies - ladders - spare line and chain - Spare power cords for boats (shore ties) - a portable generator on wheels - a portable bilge pump - a pressure washer - general cleaning supplies /hoses - ADA portable lifts With the size of the "dock master restroom" building and our restrictions on putting up any sort of shed next to the building, is it possible to make the site for the trash compactor as wide but 8 feet longer and put some sort of storage space at the west end of it. It would behind the wall surrounding the dumpster area will most likely be landscaped. Most of the items on our list would need to be out of the weather yet readily available in case of a sinking boat or boat fire.

Sheets C -11 & C -12 — Unclear if a concrete curb is proposed on the west side of the parking spaces in the northern parking lot (no notes indicating such is proposed; different than the landscape island curbing notes). It does not appear to exist today. Unclear why such curbing would be desired. If so desired, then need a handicap ramp for the handicap space in the western sidewalk. 26. Sheet C -12 — Dimension the width of the parallel parking spaces on the north and south sides of the crosswalk on Drew Street (six spaces south of crosswalk; four spaces north of crosswalk). 27. Sheet C -12 — Indicate two parallel parking spaces on the east side of Drew Street north of the northern driveway into the Harborview Center. 28. Sheet C -12 — Indicate the width of the sidewalk along the seawall. 29. Sheet C -12 — Indicate the width of the driveway into the northern parking lot. 30. Sheet C -13 — It was previously recommended to install a flagpole in front of the harbormaster building. If provided, will this be shown on the harbormaster building plans? 31. Sheets C -14, C -15, C -16 and C -17 — If these are utility plans, shouldn't water lines and fire hydrants be shown? 32. Sheet C -17 — Unclear why the grading "boxes" have crosshatching in them (different than those shown on Sheets CC- 14, C -15 and C -16). 33. Sheets C -18, C -19 and C -20 — Code requires interior landscaping at a rate of 10% of the vehicular use area of these two parking lots, with one shade tree per 150 square feet of interior landscape area (two accent trees = one shade tree, AlIkk planted relatively close toe her; three palms = one shade tree, planted hwuster of three). Revise to provide the required number of trees. 34. Sheets C -18 and C -19 — Fire truck access from north end of southern parking lot to Cleveland Street — How will the fire truck driver know the location of the geoweb so as to stay on the access area? Will it be outlined somehow so the driver knows the path? Is the sidewalk along Cleveland Street being designed to withstand the weight of the fire truck? 35. Sheet C -18 — Code requires a continuous hedge along north side of southern parking lot (except for geoweb area). Extend hedge to the geoweb. 36. Sheets C -19 and C -20 — Landscape islands in the northern parking lot are large enough for shade trees to be planted. Alternately, two accent trees or three palms are required in the islands. 37. Sheets C -19 and C -20 — Provide a continuous hedge with the equivalent of shade trees every 35 feet between the northern parking lot and the on- street parking on the west side of Drew Street. Due to the width of this planting area, only accent or palm trees can be planted within this area (two accent trees = one shade tree, planted relatively close to each other; three palms = one shade tree, planted in a cluster of three). 38. Sheet D -6 — Move to be Sheet C -22. 39. Sheet D -6 — Revise the Entrance Landscape Schedule for the following: a. Indicate for the LI, L12 and LJ that they must be a minimum of 2" caliper at time of planting; b. Indicate there must be a rain sensor for the irrigation system; and c. Shrubs required to screen parking lots on the south and north sides of the southern parking lot and on the eastern side of the northern parking lot must be a minimum of 18 -24" tall at time of planting. 40. Sheet E -1 — Unclear why this sheet is showing a "multi -space meter ticketing center" on the west side of the north end of the southern parking lot, when none is shown there on any other plans. 41. To be clear, is the electric service for the bollard lights and the parking lot lights for the southern parking lot being placed underground? 42. Need a detail for the compactor dumpster enclosure. Unclear how one gets into the dumpster enclosure to dump the trash. Unclear of the exterior material and color of the dumpster enclosure, including the gates. Should match the harbormaster building, at least in color. 43. It is presumed that the harbormaster building plans and the docks will be separate plans when submitting for Flexible Development approval by the CD13 and will dovetail into these plans. 14. Rick Carnley — General Services No Comments at this time. . 15. Richard Hamilton — Engineering. 16. Chris Hubbard - Parks & Rec . Artwork would be best located on grass /green. space area detailed in sheet C -19 (located near middle of page, directly above city seal icon and right adjacent to "Truck rated geoweb under sod for fire trick access ") Other areas of placement conflict with landscaping designs and /or environmental hazards. A concrete slab /pedestal may need to be installed dependant upon style and size of selected artwork. 17. Rod Irwin — City Hall 18. Sill Morris — Marina Most of the upland plan does not impact the Boat slips, however we came up with one item and a possible solution we need to address now. We have no storage for: - Oil Spill containment and clean up supplies - ladders - spare line and chain - Spare power cords for boats (shore ties) - a portable generator on wheels - a portable bilge pump - a pressure washer - general cleaning supplies /hoses - ADA portable lifts With the size of the "dock master restroom" building and our restrictions on putting up any sort of shed next to the building, is it possible to make the site for the trash compactor as wide but 8 feet longer and put some sort of storage space at the west end of it. It would behind the wall surrounding the dumpster area will most likely be landscaped. Most of the items on our list would need to be out of the weather yet readily available in case of a sinking boat or boat fire. F:\ ENGIN\ P1anReview \WaterfrontUplandConnection90 %review. doc Wells, Wayne From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Wednesday,. June 25, 2008 3:55 PM To: Chesney,. Ed Cc: Clayton,. Gina; Delk, Michael;. Garriott, Kevin Subject: Downtown. Boat Slips. Schedule Ed - The proposed Downtown. Boat Slips need to be approved by the Community Development Board. (CDB), which will include not only the boat slips, but also the upland improvements (harbormaster building,. parking, sidewalks, lighting, utilities, landscaping, etc.). A Flexible. Development (FLD) application will be required to be submitted (one original set of information and 14 copies) to be reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) prior to scheduling for the CDB. (additional revised copies will. need to be submitted. for the CDB).. The following submittal. and review schedule will apply (options on separate lines below): Application Deadline (noon) DRC CDB Appeal End Date 8/1/08 9/4/08 10/21/08 11/4/08 9/2/08 10/2/08 11/18/08 12/2/08 Once the CDB approves the Downtown Boat Slip FLD application, the Planning Department must sign off on the County permit application. There has been discussion regarding submitting to the County prior. to CDB approval.. Should the contractor. ( ?) desire. to submit to the County in advance of the CDB decision, such will be at their risk, the Planning Department cannot sign off on that submittal and the County should not schedule any public hearings or issue any approvals until such CDB decision and appeal period ends. Once the. CDB approves the use and site plan, then the Planning Department can sign off on those plans already submitted to the County, or on plans revised due to CDB modifications.. The Planning Department also cannot sign off until the CDB appeal period ends.. There is a potential this application may be appealed (to a State Hearing Officer). There has also been discussion regarding the harbormaster building and the construction schedule for such. Since the harbormaster building is integral to the Downtown. Boat Slip project, the Planning Department cannot sign off on the building permit until the appeal period ends. However, the plans can be submitted for this building in. advance of CDB approval, can be reviewed and. revisions submitted to respond to comments, such that it could be sitting in Development Services ready to be issued. once the appeal period ends.. You may want to confirm with Kevin Garriott this process for the harbormaster building. There will also need. to be an uplands improvement building permit submitted and issued for all the parking, sidewalks,. lighting, utilities, landscaping, etc. associated with this Downtown Boat Slip project. Hope this helps. Wayne M.

Many meetings occur the same time as a monthly Planning Department meeting to discuss upcoming DRC items. There may be times that I will need to attend my Planning meeting due to workload. 2. A meeting is scheduled for November 28th, which is a Holiday (day after Thanksgiving). We may want to reschedule this meeting. 3. A meeting is scheduled for December 26th, the day after Christmas. There probably won't be many people around at that time, as many people will take a longer Christmas vacation (four -.day weekend). We may want to reschedule this meeting. Additionally, I have received the new Calendar of Events and have the following question: 1. Design Submittal on May 23, 2008. Is this the design submittal for the Flexible Development application for CDB review /approval or is the design submittal coming first to the committee to review prior to submission for the Flexible Development application for CDB review /approval?

Overflow parking can often, be found in unused land storage areas or in urban areas at adjacent parking garages or office parking lots. Peak marina use days generally coincide with work holidays or weekends when office and com- mercial space may be vacant. 4.3 WATER DEPENDENCY Maintaining water dependent use along the waterfront is the line and cry of concerned citizens and regulatory agencies worldwide. It: is important that the limited waterfront be used for those purposes that can only be peri'ormed by direct actress to the water. Fortunately, marinas area watc-;r dependent use. However, ancillary uses Mthin a marina might not. meet the test for water dependency, but rather may be termed as water enhanced activites. Such an example is a restaurant associated with a rnarina development. Although the rest.atirant's ambience may be enhanced by its location on the waterfront, it: does not have to be located on the waterfront: to rtdfill its mission of preparing and serving food and/or entertain rue nt. Even if the financial contribution of the restaurant is necessary to the success of the marina, a regulatory agency could fund such a facility i:o be nonwater dependent: and request more extonsivc review or actually deny its approval for construction. If. is therefore important. to maximize water dependent content, especially if seeking die; introduction of nonwater dependent ancillary activities. 4.4 PUBLIC ACCESS Public Crust. doctrine was discussed in Chapter 3 as a regulatory issue in many jurisdictions.

AUTO P,*KING IN MAISNASI Neil W. Ross International Marina Institute 35 Steamboat Avenue Wickford, Rhode Island 0285.2, USA .;• During the 1988 summer boating a U.S. national survey of marinas compared levels of boat use and number of autos parked in the-facilities. Surveys were done on three days in July and August in 142 public and private marinas in 24 states. There were 429 counts using a standard self survey form. Total boat storage capacity (slips; moorings & dry rack/land storage) was 28,060 boats, with parking capacity for 33,254 cars. The highest use day was July 3rd with the highest usage count at midday with 46% of the boats in use or occupied; compared to the August weekday use rate of 13 %, and 33% in use on the weekend. Without subtracting extra cars parked for the restaurants, the midday auto parking ratio of cars parked to boat/berth capacity of slips, moorings and dry rack storage combined for a July 4th weekend peak use ratio of 0.71 car/boat berth, August weekend high use ratio of 0.51 car/boat berth, and August weekday low use ratio of 0.21 car/boat berth capacity. Overall marina patterns of use were found similar to other studies done previously. However, the significance of this study was to quantify on a broad national base that auto parking standards which exceed one car parking space for every two boats storage capacity (ratio of 0.5 car/boat berth) may be excessive in most sites. AUTO*ARKING. IN NARINAI Neil W. Ross International Marina Institute Wickford, Rhode Island,,USA INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND Since the incorporation of the International Marina Institute (INM as an information clearinghouse in 1986, the most common technical question asked of us has been "How much automobile parking should be reserved in a marina ?" Government regulatory agency representatives tend to ask "What should the required car parking ratio be per boat stored in a slip, on a swing mooring or in a boat rack ?" Unfortunately, no recent United States national standard for marinas has been established on the ratio of parked car spaces to boat berths. In the United States, it's common for local community planning boards to establish parking needs for almost all developments on land or shore. Town and state highway engineers have available many published parking standards for apartments, motels, shopping malls, theaters, restaurants, etc. The exception is that published parking standards for marinas aren't adequate. To illustrate the confusion, one town in Connecticut requires 2 car spaces per boat while another nearby asks for 0.5 car space per boat. Less common are the few states which have adopted specific minimum marina parking requirements, but even these seem more arbitrary than based on researched use patterns. (See Appendix A) How many parking spaces are needed for cars in a marina is a simple question which seems to have caused confusion among both marina owners and permit agencies. LITERATURE REVIEW: MARINA USE & AUTO PARKING In 1969 the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Small Craft Harbors Manual 14 advised 1.5 to 2.5 auto parking spaces per slip, especially when a restaurant is present. The basis of their ratio wasn't explained nor referenced. ASCE may be, I think, the source of a sometimes mentioned old "rule of thumb" of two cars per boat. However, such high parking demands are way out of date with the opinions of all the marina design and operation experts I've discussed this issue with over the past 15 years, despite the nation of marina use. Besides, the fact that most American cars were much bigger then, use of the ASCE ratio (now in revision) can lead to conversion of valuable land into parking for empty automobiles. Why not dedicate shore frontage to people and families, and to the water dependent marina and boatyard uses?. People want to use the waterfront; cars don't need to be stored there. Southern New England marina owners have long been telling me that, on many summer weekends and almost all weekdays 25 %. or less of the boats are used, and called for parking for one to two cars per slip is excessive. The possible exceptions are the highest peak use days around the July 4th US Independence Day holiday, Labor Day, and any local .oas`" festival or in -water boat 1989 National Marina Research Conference 81 show. On almost all oth*ys of the boating season, marina nogers continue to observe that most marinas are filled with empty boats and few cars. From my observations, I suspect that similar patterns exist in most boating areas of the eight nations familiar to me. In mid - September 1977 while employed at the University of Rhode Island as a marine recreation specialist in the Sea Grant Program, I organized an aerial photographic survey of all the marinas and docks in Rhode Island. This was part of a federally funded 208 Marinas Task Study 6 for the RI Statewide Planning Program (purpose: to count as many boats at dock as possible, not empty slips). From the photo analysis we found very few cars parked on the low use days, as predicted. As a follow -up to measure in seaso:: boat use, a recommendation was made for a high use -day count to determine actual boat use. The following year that recommended aerial photo survey of Rhode Island's marinas was done by Clarkson Collins on Labor Day, 1978, with it's results published in the Recreational Boating in RI's Coastal Waters: A Look Forward. 3 Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is generally thought to be the second highest boat use weekend since it officially ends the summer season in most states. Rhode Island's average car count Was 0.33 cars per slip or mooring for that high -use peak day (well under ASCE's 1.5 -2.5 cars per slip). Collins recommended that the state Coastal Resource Management Council (CRMC) use 0.5 cars /slip figure as a conservative guide for marina construction permits. Instead, the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Program chose to require 0.75 parking space for each boat. 10 Similarly, several other surveys support Collins' findings of low levels of boat use. A 1984 Lake Erie Access Study, 9 of boat ramps and marinas in Ohio, estimated that only 40% of the boats in marinas were in use on peak days. During a 1985 summer boat traffic density study of Canandaigua Lake in upstate New York, there were 2,141 boats kept at all marinas, yacht clubs, New York State Park, boathouses and waterfront cottages and condominiums. The highest use time measured was on Saturday, July 20, 1985 at 3:30 p.m. with 236 boats in use on the lake, or 11% of the population under way. They reported another 15% of boats at anchor or in slips were in use, thus 74% of the boats kept on the lake were unused. While no parking data was reported in either the 1984 or 1985 studies, the low use rate for a peak day on an inland lake is important to know. It appears that use rates on coastal and inland waters don't appear that far apart. They also made an interesting observation about the importance of weather on boat usage... "As boat traffac from the State Park increased on good weather days, traffic from condominiums decreases." 1 On Sunday, July 6, 1986, marina and land developer Arthur Collins H did an aerial survey of 43 marinas from Westbrook, Connecticut to New Rochelle, New York along the north shore of Long Island Sound. The results found an average of 37% vacant slips in the 31 public rental marinas (privately owned), meaning that the boats were away in use, and a parking ratio of 0.77 cars per boat slip. The four municipal marinas surveyed showed a 26 % average slip vacancy and a 0.28 average parking ratio. Three private yacht clubs with swimming pools, tennis courts and other recreational amenities, had a much higher average parking ratio of 1.03 cars per boat slip, yet only a 40% slip vacancy average. Five residential condominium associations with adjoining slips (56% of the condo residents have bought dockominium slips) were also counted; three had enough data to calculate a 57% vacancy average that day. Collins concluded that the marinas surveyed averaged 36.4% of the boats in use and a parking ratio of 0.74 cars per slip capacity. 4 The Institute of Transportation Engineers in 1987 reported only one study available. A Seattle, Washington marina with 1,753 slips and 36,000 square feet of restaurants and retail space found 82 01989, International Marina Institute, leVickford, RI daily peak parking occurred in th ly and mid- afternoon hours, with rjbhigher on weekends. The poak parking spaces occupied s berths ratios reported were highest o unday with 0.49 cars per berth, 0.46 on Saturday, and 0.26 on a weekday. 5 Danish engineer Flemming Thyme, in a 1.987 technical paper on marina design in Denmark, wrote of the need to reduce the auto parking standards from 50 m2 on,land for car parking and winter storage of boats, down to 35 m2 per berth in the spring boat preparation situation. From aerial photographs taken in the boating summer season, "... it's been proved that, normally, 40% of the boats at the most sail at the same time. On the average 1-5 cars per boat is used." 15 While the report isn't clear if per berth is the same as per boat, I interpret the 1 S cars per boat to be different and possibly means for each boat in use not for berth capacity. My analysis of parking capacity data collected from interviewing 8,611 marina facilities in the United States during 1986 -87 showed a national average of 0.87 car parking spaces per boat space/berth capacity reported in the 2,927 marinas sampled.12 (See Appendix B) That 0.87 ratio of total parking capacity reported shouldn't be confused with marina cars - parked to boats -in -use data reported in this study. On Saturday, July 4th, 1987, Bruce Tobiasson, a professional marina engineer, did a day long field measurement of one Connecticut marina with 150 slips (weather partly sunny, 80 °F, 27 °C). He reported that the hour of highest use was 4:30 p.m. with 122 cars in the marina, giving a peak holiday ratio of 0.8 cars parked per boat slip. 16 METHODS During the 1988 summer boating season, the International Marina Institute (M conducted a national survey in the United States of public and private marina facilities to learn the levels of boat use and automobiles parked in the marinas. The study was suggested by Institute members at IMI's National Marina Engineering & Design Conference held in Boston, December 1987. A small working group of professional engineers helped to define the information needs. Professional engineer Sterling Brockwell (Moffatt & Nichol, Engineers, Raleigh,. NC) created the draft questionnaire outline. I made revisions and field tested the form in local marinas. Over 1,000 letters and self - survey questionnaires were distributed by I II, with an estimated 500 more sent out by several state marine trade associations and state coastal management agencies. Institute members also made copies and handed them out to an unaccounted number of marina clients. Baseline information supplied included descriptions of the facility's summer only capacity of boat storage (wet slips, moorings, in -out racks, other land), transient only slips, unleased and open slips, percent sail boats, vehicle parking spaces on and off site, and number of full time employees. Marinas were requested to make five boat use and auto counts on three summer days with good boating weather. The first survey series was on the predicted highest use July 4th three day holiday weekend. They were asked to make three counts on one day only in the July 4th weekend (either Saturday, Sunday or Monday): a morning, midday, and early evening counts. The second series of counts was done at mid -day only on two non - holiday August days: a high use weekend and a normal weekday. Survey counts 'wereisde of the weather conditions, boa *ay and in use (empty slips, moorings, racks), boats in use in the marina (with people aboard or working on), estimate average number of people per boat used, and estimated total number of people in the marina but not on boats. The total number of vehicles parked in the marina (including all marina vehicles) and in any overflow lots in use were counted. Cars with boat trailers were included but in the database were calculated as occupying two car spaces each. As a double check on parking used, each surveyor was asked to estimate the percent of total parking capacity used. Estimates were also asked of the number of cars which might be attributed to a restaurant, park picnickers, 'sport fish partyboat customers, or other attractions not directly related to the marina's boats. Since there were so many parking variables and the survey wasn't sophisticated enough to separate them out exactly; all calculations were done using total vehicles parked. The parking ratios, higher than if non -marina parking could have been subtracted, represent worst case situations. Questionnaires were reviewed upon their return, and some marinas were telephoned to get missing information when possible. Data was entered into Microsoft Excel database on an Apple Macintosh computer. All data was double checked after entry; typing and interpretation corrections were made by the author. The survey questionnaire was complex and no doubt reduced the number of returns. A local university database professor, on reviewing the form, suggested that a full data analysis of all variables, cross compared, would have needed a large mainframe computer and could have been the basis for a Doctoral dissertation. Therefore, key members of M's engineering steering committee were asked which sets of information were essential to narrow the focus, simplify and speed analysis. It was decided to restrict analysis to the data relevant to number of cars parked and facility boat storage capacity. Help on data preparation was given by the professionals at DiCesare Bentley Engineers, Inc., Groton, CT. Analysis of other variables will be reported later in other papers. A total of 169 private -and public owned marina facilities responded from 23 states and one territory. The following states were represented in the 1988 survey with the number of participating marinas ranging from 1 to 28 (Connecticut had highest response): Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Wyoming, and Virgin Islands. Twenty -seven facility reports were judged to have significant errors or data omissions to make them inadequate and not correctable, and were omitted from this analysis. For example, one marina reported boat use and parking numbers on one rainy day only, and therefore, wasn't entered. The results reported here are based on 142 marina facilities which returned questionnaires complete enough to be used. Every facility didn't answer every question, nor did all do the five survey counts requested over the three days, thus sample size varies among questions. The 142 facilities completed a total of 429 actual counts at different times. Remarkably, most of the marinas answered all the questions on the three days surveyed. That's a testimony to their appreciation of the need for this information also a willingness to cooperate. 84 ©1989, International Marina Institute, Wicl 'ord, PJ 1m 100 C Q M P 83 L E T E D e0 S U R 40 V E Y S 2D .

The two days in August were counted in mid -day for comparison on non peak use days. Between the five survey days and the seven survey target times, a total of 429 individual counts were taken. To determine boat use, counts were made of empty slips, moorings and dry racks, plus counts of boats which had people aboard on moorings and in slips. Simultaneously, all vehicles parked in the marina were counted. Totals of boats in use in or away from the facility was compared to total summer boat storage capacity reported on the baseline information. It wasn't possible to calculate the effect of transient slip, restaurants, lodging, nor public park uses on marina parking ratios. With the exception of destination marinas on islands, transient boat use was thought to not be significant. Geographic variances weren't calculated for this report. 1989 National Marina Research Conference 85 Facili Characteristics Of 42 facilities, 130 were private for p marinas and boatyards, 4 were non-profit yacht clubs and 8 were government owned (3 local, €'state, 1 federal facility). P Y g Total summer storage capacity of slips, moorings, dry rack; and land storage was 28,060 boats. The average capacity was 199 boat spaces; ranging from 8 to 938 boat marinas. Seasonal renters averaged 92% of summer boat storage capacity in use, with most empty slips reserved for transients or guest boaters. Fifty - eight' boat launching ramps were reported. The average facility had 12 full time employees. The average boat population was 35% sail and 65% power. The national average estimate reported was 3 people on each boat used. Parking capacity totaled 35,632; the average facility had 262 auto spaces; 22 had restaurants present. The predicted highest use day was July 3rd with the highest counts midday with 46% of the boats in use or occupied; compared to the August weekend at 33% and weekday use rate down to 13%.

Dry Stack Marina Parking Dry stack'marinas generally reported significantly lower boat use percentages and lower parking needs than the national average of all marinas. (Dry stack details to be 1989 National Marina Research Conference 81 reported in another paper) DISCUSSION The actual counts of car parking in the summer' of 1988, when compared to other parking studies reported, suggest that requiring one auto space or more per slip for most marinas may be unrealistically high even for the highest peak use weekend of the year, July 4th. If the July 4th weekend car to boat berth ratio of 0.71 (with only 46% of all boats in use) represents the highest peak use days, then most boating season weekends (normally with higher use rates than non - holiday weekdays) should be expected to have lower ratios of cars to boats. This seems supported by the August national ratio of 0.51 cars per boat berth with 33% of all boats in use on the weekend, and down to 4.21 cars per boat berth with 131% of boats in use on the weekday. Ratios Are High The effect of restaurant and lodging traffic couldn't be calculated for the 22 facilities reporting having them present, thus inclusion does tend to increase the overall average somewhat. Nor could the high parking counts be subtracted for those facilities which were part of or immediately next to public parks, or for those reported having sport fishing charter and party boats operating from their docks. All those factors must be considered attractions which added to the marina car totals, thus the ratios reported here should be considered high. Evening Cars Parked Per Boat in Use On July 4th, the morning counts had 11% fewer boats (35 %) in use, and the evening counts had 5% fewer boats (41 %) in use than at the peak mid -day count. The evening count showed an increased number of cars parked per boat in use (ratio of 2.42 vs 1.77 at mid -day) while the total number of cars decreased. This may be attributed to more people coming to the marina in the evening for dinner at the restaurants, casual walking along the waterfront, and visiting boat owners for refreshments. While the ratios of cars present per boat used seem to support common knowledge that more visitors may be present in the evening, car/boat -in -use ratio shouldn't be used to calculate parking capacity based on boat storage capacity. Sumlus Parking Exists Almost all facilities reported excess, empty parking available for most of the peak survey counts, with a very few overflowing outside the manna. The numbers seem to vary somewhat among the states and among facilities by geographic location, with parking ratios appearing higher in states with many large public marinas, e.g. California. Unfortunately, the sample size in many states is too small to develop reliable regional patterns. Clearly the national average parking ratio reflects much less than one to one. Obviously, each marina facility site must be measured separately for its own traffic attraction. For example, when a restaurant, launch ramp, ferry boat, public park, tourist attractions, shops or other traffic generating features are present, then extra parking spaces need to be added. Parking needs for destination marinas, such as those found on coastal islands, will need many fewer parking spaces since most, if not almost all, transient boaters come aboard their craft leaving their cars in their home port. Further studies are needed to divide parking needs in marinas by type of activity present, including boatyard repairs, dry storage, ships stores, restaurants, public launching ramps, parks, etc. 0 0 CONCLUSION The significance of this study was that it quantified for the first time on a broad national base that auto parking standards exceeding 0.5 cars per boat may be excessive in most sites. Some variables remain -to be calculated and the ratios may change somewhat resulting from differences in regions, boat sizes, dry rack storage, s il.to power mix, restaurant, 6 month vs 12 slip month boating season length, transient boat use, or rental mates, Based on what has been reported by others and in this 1988 U.S. National Marina Use Survey, I therefore believe that it is reasonable to make the following recommendation. Recommendation One car parking space for every two boat slips seems quite adequate as a national guideline for most high use weekends. Planning Policy One marina owner wrote to suggest that, "If persistent lack of parking spaces and overcrowding occurs, it's the responsibility of the marina or restaurant to remedy same by supplying more spaces on or off property, or reducing the number�f seats or slips. Make it a condition of the general business permit.- 7 By that he meant that government planning• agencies shouldn't call for excessively high parldngratios of the marina, but should make it clear that if conditions and uses change more parking space will be expected to be made available. For those few peak parking days per year, most marinas have surplus boat storage/repair areas and lawns which can be pressed into short term service. Urban marinas, next to off-ice buildings, may be able to arrange overflow weekend and evening parking into nearby commercial parking spaces. From a land use policy perspective, shouldn't we also be asking if cars need to be parked near the bulkhead? Marina planners should consider designing convenient off-loading zones near pier heads and have cars parked away from the shore. Allow people, not cars, to have use of the waterfront to spend time shopping, eating, socializing, and enjoying the marina view. Appendix A. n MINIMUM RGULATIONS AUTO PARIONG PER BOAT BERTH California, USA (1980) 13 0.60 parking spaces /recreational boat (berth)- - 2.00 parking spaces /commercial fishing boat (berth) 1,000 feet furthest distance from berth to parking 9x20 feet (2.7 x 6.1 m) parking space dimension Large, visual expanses of asphalt parking will be avoided Planter islands or strips use is encouraged.

The author wants to identify them. Often, marina owners and engineers record parking usage on a case by case basis in preparation for construction permit hearings. Alone that site specific data tells something about the one facility only and isn't statistically considered valid for use in other facilities. However, when many observations are brought together into one comparative database, it's possible to find useful patterns. To aid that process, the author invites marina owners, engineers, consultants, and researchers to share references of other relevant studies plus recommendations to him at the International Marina Institute. Append - Capacity Comparison Ta: AUTO PARKING TO BOAT STORAGE DURING PEAK 1986 -87 BOATING SEASONS 12 From: United States National Recreational Boating Facilities Database, IMI, R.I., 1214187 * Over 1986 and 1987, a national inventory was conducted which verified the existence of over 8,600 boating facilities.in the USA. Sample data was compiled from those boating facilities which reported capacity numbers.for both auto parking and boat berthing in slips, moorings and dry land storage (usually rack storage). Since peak boating seasons differ among boating regions the national study requested answers for the peak boating season for each facility interviewed. Sample States Boating Facilities Reported Total Number of Boats Berthed Average Number of Boats Per Facility Total Car Parking Spaces Ratio Car Spaces to Boat Berths California 58 20;492 353 20,007 0.976 Florida 226 21,665 96 18,681 0.862 Massachusetts 151 20;952 139 10,829 0.517 New Jersey 96 13,804 144 11,121 0.806 Ohio 63 11,766 187 8,364 0.711 Rhode Island 109 11,511 106 9,951 0.864 All USA. 2,927 462,681 138 352,024 0.874 * This study was begun in 1985 by the author as the Marine Recreation Specialist at The University of Rhode Island Sea- Grant Marine Advisory Service, Narragansett, R.I. Now at the non - profit International Marina Institute in Wick:fbrd, R.I., he continues research on this and other marina issues. Appendix B: DISCUSSION Please note that readers, should not confuse parking capacities reported in Appendix B from the 1986 -87 database to be the same as the actual uses counted in 1988 . and reported in Figure 3. This table's capacity ratios report only the existing auto parking spaces allocated to each boat berth space. California's higher than average parking space ratio probably reflects data skewing from the large parking capacities in the multi- thousand slip public marinas built with state funds. If it is true that many marinas do generally have more auto parking space available than the actual parking use ratios found in the 1988 III study and as required in several states, then the balance seems favorable for expanding berth capacity without needing more parking space in some facilities. • REFERENCES 1.

The City has requested Wade Trim to compile off street parking requirements for marinas in other Florida communities'to take into consideration for the project development as well as to potentially amend the current Community Development Code. The current Community Development Code, in section 7, Article 2, Zoning Districts, Section 2 -903 (Table 2 -903. "D" District Flexible Development Standards) establish one parking space per boat slip as such requirement. The following provides a summary of comparable offsite parking requirements for marinas. The information was compiled from standards established in 11 Florida Cities (Code of Ordinances) and in "marina, development literature." STANDARDS City of St. Petersburg, Florida Sec. 29 -642.

Art Kader /Kevin Dunbar /Leroy Chin Parks & Rec Project Division & Special Event Comments: General Comments: 1. Please consider construction lay down area, parking lot at base of City Hall. 2. Assume road with where Cleveland Street & Drew Street curve with median island. allows for traffic movement for largest city's fire truck. 3. Please consider providing an electrical duplex outlet at base of every proposed light bollard with a 20 -amp circuit breaker. 4. Please consider providing 200 -amp electrical service stainless steel electrical panel at pay kiosk near the Harbor Master's Building. 5. Is your consultant considering repairing the deteriorating seawall prior to the new pave surface between the Harbor Master's Building and the promenade? Please consider having a structural engineer review the condition of the seawall. 6. How does your consultant plan to tie in the proposed paved sidewalk adjacent to the seawall and promenade to downtown streetscape in regards to paving materials, lighting, street furniture, and landscaping? We believe consideration to discuss in greater detail the thought and design process since it will most likely.govern the future development of Coachman and Bayfront Parks. 7. During special events in Coachman Park the park will be fenced off similarly as it is now. Please note the current location of band shell and mobile infrastructure for the event. Portable structure requires being placed on Drew Street between the band shell and the two proposed crosswalks north of the parking lot closest to the band shell. See attached drawing showing the fenced location during a special event at Coachman Park. 8. Direct access on the paved surface from the promenade to the Harbor Masters Building will be closed off similar as it is now during the special event. However, there will still be access from the promenade to the Harbor Masters Building via the boat slip floating dock. This alternate route allows access to the Harbor Master's Building and provides the security required during the special event at Coachman Park. 9. Previous meetings concerns were discussed about parking for the new marina. There are no plans to close the parking lots north or south of the promenade during the special event. However, the north parking lot from the promenade will be utilized as handicap parking during an event at Coachman Park. The south parking lot is open to the public or can be designated parking for the boat slips during an event at Coachman Park. Please see attached drawing to further identify the thought process. Comments on Drawings: Sheet No. C -0, Cover Sheet - No Comments Sheet No. C -1, General Notes and Legend 1. Please consider providing an overall site plan showing how the sheet go together. It was a little cumbersome to get oriented upon first glance at the drawings. Sheets No. C -2 to C -5 Existinlfte Plan 1. Please consider showing match line. Sheets No C -6 to C -9 Demolition Plan 1. Please also consider not only removing the existing asphalt surface but also the lime rock base course and the compacted sub - grade 3 feet below top of existing asphalt surface for all proposed planting beds. Sheets No. C -10 to C -13 Proposed Site Plan 1. Please consider removing all lines of which are to be demolished on this set of plans as shown on C -6 to C -9 of the Demolition Plans. It is difficult to read drawings to determine what is proposed and what is already demolished. 2. Please consider all new planting beds show quantity of cubic yards of planting soil mix. 3. Please consider providing expansion joints and contraction joint spacing of the new paved areas. A decision must be considered as to the relationship with Cleveland streetscape as well as the site furnishings as it will govern the future development of Coachman Park. 4. Please consider reviewing the detectable warning strip, it appears to be drawn incorrectly. 5. Consider review the 11,918 sq. ft. of paved area adjacent to the promenade. We believe further study of this area is required. Do we really want the nautical symbol in the paving? We believe your consultant can be more creati ve to make this a very unique space and design of the Tampa Bay area if not the west coast of Florida. 6. Please consider showing the proposed boat slip and promenade, which may assist in the development and transitions between the uses and spatial relationships. We might be surprised what alternative concepts may develop. Current it appears elements do not align because possible lack of information through this review process. 7. Are five feet crosswalks wide enough? Consider 15 to 20 feet? Consider to plan beyond the needs of today but for the future 5 or 10 years? Discussions have been the boat slip is the catalyst to attract more folks to downtown and to Coachman Park. We believe the crosswalks are to narrow. 8. Did not see any water fountains are we going to have any? Sheets No. 14 to C -17 Landscape Plan 1. There are issues of several groundcover beds are to narrow and will be difficult to maintain or even for them to survive. 2. Re- consider locations of trees begin close to the edge of curb. Being this close to the curb or paved area will be difficult for the trees to thrive. 3. Alternating plants instead of a straight row provides more interest please consider modifying. 4. Please consider more trees and closer together one tree in 200 feet is a bit far apart. We are in a harsh environment during the summer. We want people to be along the new upland link with very few trees very few people will take advantage of the utilization of the space we are trying to create. Multiple trees spaced closer together as close as 25 feet will provide more upright growth of trees, less maintenance and provide cooler temperatures by 15 to 20 degrees. 5. Do not understand the groundcover configurations. Many of the bed lines will be difficult to mow and more time consuming with the current budget crises we need to design these bed to allow minimum back and forth motions of the mowers. Please consider more sweeping bed lines and our standard riding mowers are 72 ". We would like to minimize weed whacking and utilizing smaller push mowers since this type of lawn maintenance is very time consuming 6. Plant selection palette for review is not in our growth zone please consult with Brian Murphree or Renee Frith to develop a plant palette acceptable for their maintenance program. Sheets No. D -1 to D -5 Details 1. No comments at 30% Sheets No. E -1 to E -4 Electrical Plan 1. Please consider turning off landscape layer. 2. Note closeness of trees to light poles this will be an issue for the trees to develop properly, please consider moving one of them farther apart. Sheets No. E -5 and E -6 Electrical Details 1. Please consider utilization of galvanized light poles or mounting struts will not last please consider alternative materials that will not rust. Such as stainless steel or fiberglass. 2. We have utilized a fixture similar at several of our recreation centers and do not believe these units will provide adequate light at the spacing you are proposing. Sheets No ?? to ?? Irrigation Plans. 1. Assume irrigation plans and details will be at the next 60% review cycle Aft Adlhk Parks & Beautification Division: 1. Parks would like a meeting to discuss with Wade -Trim, the 30% plans with respect to the identified spaces to be developed for plantings and existing irrigation components to potentially utilize. This discussion shall also include discussion on specific plant material selections to meet the project's goal and to maintain the design's integrity for the long -haul. (Brian Murphree — Landscape Manager 224 -7105) Cultural Affairs: 1. Public art would like to meet to discuss additional areas for public art as indicated by the 30% plans. (Christopher Hubbard — Public Art Specialist 562 -4837) Is there a possibility of including artists in the design of the pavers? Are functional elements (lights, trash, benches) available for artist design? What trees will occupy the "signature tree" locations, i.e. will they disrupt the N/S line of sight? Will the highlighted area (sheet C -3) be available for public art? Can the upland grass area (sheet C -11) support the addition of a pedestal or concrete foundation for large -scale public art (500 lbs. + )? Does the highlighted area (sheet E -2) represent available electrical power? Would there be available electric power for public artwork placed in this area? Is the "compass" paving/concrete design available for artist design? 2. Mike Quillen — Engineering Reviewed 11/27. See comments on plan set. 3. Ed Chesney — Eng. /Environmental reviewed 11/27/07 — see markup. 4. Robert Fahey — Eng. /Production Reviewed 11/21/07 — see markup. 5. Perry Lopez — Construction 6. Tim Kurtz — Engineering. Landscaping Review Completed - see markup 7. Elliott Shoberg — Stormwater Manager (review by RJM 11/19/07) Have Public Service video Ntape all existing storm lines going through the seawall to determine condition of pipe, joints and lift holes if any. Existing seawall was built before filter fabric was used at joints of seawall slabs. There is some existing evidence of settlement due to loss of soil behind the wall. We may want to get an assessment of the life expectancy of the existing seawall as I can vouch for the fact that it is at least 34 years old. 8. Tom Mahony — Eng. /Production - review completed — see markup r-1 MW W 9. Gary Johnson – Public Services 10 Paul Bertels- Traffic Manager – Some of the existing features are not shown in the plans but generally they look okay. Do we want trees behind the seawall? Is there any danger of the trees undermining the seawall? Everything else is looking good. 11. Tracey Bruch – Parking Manager – Single space parking meters will be replaced with Pay & Display units (min. 2 units per lot). A minimum of 2.5' x 2.5' is required for installation into concrete sidewalk. City's policy to not install wheel stops for any parking stalls except for H/C spaces. Bollard light should be located along parking stall lines or set -back to not interfere with overhang of vehicle. Recommend new Cleveland Street on- street parking be metered. If not, spaces will be used all day by downtown employees / business owners. The on- street parking on Drew Street is part of the Harborview Center lease parking requirements & cannot be metered. 12. Ed Burke – Construction Services • Please be aware that the LS # 16 Relocation Project is currently underway. The NTP was issued for 11/27/07 and the finish date is 8/22/08. A new lift station is being constructed at the SE corner of Pierce St. and Pierce Blvd. The old lift station beneath City Hall is to be demolished. A new 12" force main is to be directionally drilled between Coachman Park and the new lift station. Work on existing and new gravity lines will take place in the parking area behind City Hall as well as beneath Pierce St. This parking area will become a construction zone and parking will be closed in stages as the work progresses. • Sheet C- 9— Relocate 3 irrigation boxes and 1.5" water meter, they will be in the new sidewalk. Also remove 10 concrete benches. • Sheet C -12 —Shows only one of two inlets that need a concrete pad around them. • Sheet C -13 shows new bollards, expect to see detail at 60% review. 13. Wayne Wells – Planning 1. Highly recommend having the Fire Department also review these plans. 2. Recommend a "sheet legend" showing how the different sheets go together so that the reviewer is properly oriented to the project. 3. Include match lines on each sheet to aid in orientation. 4. rovide survey. 5 heets C -2, C -6, C -10, C -14 & E -1 – Show property lines (there is private property to the west). 6. Sheets C -2, C -4, C -5, C -6, C -8 & C -9 – Remove proposed boat slips from the "Existing Site Plan" and "Demolition Plan" sheets. 7 Sheets C -2 & C -3 – Include the location of existing parking spaces, with the number in each row. 8. Sheet C -2 – The arrow for the note for the "parking meter on 3'x3' cone. pad (typ.)" at the top of the sheet would be better pointed to a parking meter on this sheet, rather than one on Sheet C -3. 9. Sheet C -2 – The symbol of "PM" is indicated next to each parking meter, yet there is no "PM" in the legend on Sheet C -1 or (PM) after the note on Sheet C -2 stating "Parking Meter ". Adilk 0 Sheet C -3 — Unclear as to v age of "Proposed R/W" in bottom lef rtion of this sheet. 1. Sheets C -3 & C -4 — Indicate parking meters in the northern parking lot similar to southern parking lot as shown on Sheet C -2 (verbiage and symbol). 12. Sheets C -2 & C -4 — Include the location of existing parking spaces in the southern and northern parking lots, with the number in each row. If 13. Sheets C -3, C -4 & C -5 — Include the location of existing parallel, on- street parking spaces, with the umber of such in the row. 14. Sheets C -5, C -9, C -13, C -17 & E -4 — Show property lines (there is private property to the north). QSheet C -6 — Note in water says "See Detail on Sheet D -3" apparently pointing to the erosion control hay bale. There is no detail on Sheet D -3 for erosion control hay bale. 16. Sheet C -10 — Show property lines (there is private property to the west). © Sheet C -10 — Assumed that proposed sidewalk on west side is flush with parking lot pavement. As such, highly recommend wheel stops for each parking space on west side of parking lot. Wheel stops are lso required for each parking space on the east side of the parking lot (Section 3- 1204.D). 18. Sheet C -10 — Dimension the width of the proposed sidewalk on the west side of the parking lot. 1 Sheet C -10 —Plan should indicate the parking stall dimensions are typical for all spaces. Sheet C -10 — Dimension the width of the parking lot drive aisle and the drive aisle around the bridge column (each side). Unclear why the drive aisle on the west side of the bridge column is less than the east side. 1121. Sheet C -10 — Remove existing verbiage and symbols for the existing parking meters, since a pay kiosk is being installed. (D. Sheet C -10 — Shouldn't the boat slip access walk actually intersect with the sidewalk on the west side of the parking lot? 23. Sheet C -10 — Remove the existing crosshatch striping from the east and west sides of the bridge column. 24. Sheet C -10 — Dimension the width of the handicap stalls. 25 Sheet C -10 — Provide a dum ster and enclosure meeting City Code. 26. Sheet C -11 — Need to coordinate these plans with plans already issued a building permit for a major reconstruction of the sanitary sewer system to a new major lift station down on Pierce Street. OP Sheet C -11 — Dimension the width of the crosswalks and sidewalks crossing Cleveland Street and Drew Street. 28. Sheet C -11 — Dimension width of travel lanes for one -way street pavements. 9 Sheet C -11 — If dimensions for parallel parking spaces in the ROW are typical, note such. Sheets C -11, C -12 & C -13 — Unclear why parking stall length for parallel spaces in the ROW are 25 feet, when City Code standard is 23 feet long. 31. Sheet C -11 — Drop off area on north side of Cleveland Street — Unclear of proposed location, as it is not adjacent to a sidewalk (see drop off area on west side at curve). This drop off area should also have a striped out area on the east end similar to the west end or lose one parking space to the east and add landscaped area to separate the parking row from the drop off area. 32. Sheet C -11 — Unclear of note on west side of Drew Street "undrained low point" as to what the proposed condition is expected. 3 . Sheet C -11 — Would be helpful to show the proposed promenade and boat slip walkway connections to he upland. 34. Sheet C -11 — Large bulbous sidewalk between Drew Street and the promenade — Unclear of specific shape as to what it relates to ( ? ?). Does the north side of this sidewalk line up with the north edge of the promenade? Since, based on discussion at meeting on 11.7.07, recommend reducing the amount of sidewalk at this time to reduce costs (since we also don't know what kind of art will be at this location). Recommend coming straight out parallel with southern edge of promenade to street for south side of this ,sidewalk. 35. Sheet C -11 — Aren't detectable warning strips necessary at all edges of sidewalk before a pedestrian nters a vehicular travel lane (see crosswalks)? 36. Sheet C -11 — Suggest removing existing conditions that are being demolished/removed, as it is too busy P_ A& and confusing as to what reallyvFroposed. 7. Sheet C -11 — Dimension the width of the sidewalk along the south side of the northern parking lot, as 11 as the width of the landscaped area between this sidewalk and the handicap parking stall. 38 Sheet C -11 — Dimension the width of the landscape area between the northern parking lot and street curb. 39. Sheet C -11 — As I questioned this at the meeting on 11.7.07, it makes more design sense to run sidewalk from southern parking lot straight north to intersect the sidewalk on the east side of the promenade, as it line p with the sidewalk on the north side of the promenade coming from the northern parking lot. 40. Sheet C -11 — West end of parking row of 10 spaces on the south side of Cleveland Street — Remove additional pavement in a triangle similar to west side of crosswalk to provide additional landscape area. 41. Sheet C -11 — Recommend installing a landscape island to end the east end of the on- street parking row n the south side of Cleveland Street. 42. Sheet C -11 — Install a wheel stop for the handicap parking space. 43 Sheet C -12 —Indicate the number of parking spaces in a row in the northern parking lot. BSheet C -12 — Install wheel stops for each parking space in the northern parking lot. 45. Sheet C -12 — Dimension the width of the landscape islands in the northern parking lot (appear to be nine feet wide outside of curbing). 46. Sheet C -12 — Dimension the width of the back up area on the north side of the northern parking lot. 47. Sheet C -12 — Show the curb along the north side of the back up area on the north side of the northern parking lot. 48. Sheet C -12 — Dimension the width of the landscape area between the pavement for the on- street parking ,rows in Drew Street and the northern parking lot. 49. Sheet C -12 — North of the crosswalk north of the northern parking lot on the east side of Drew Street, unclear why there is so much diagonal striping. It appears, based on the parking design on the west side of Drew Street that this east side could have four parking spaces in this on- street parking row rather than the Iwo indicated (see Sheet C -13 for indication of two parking spaces in this row). 50. Sheet C -12 — Radii at the north and south edges of the driveway into the northern parking lot and the wo driveways into the Harborview Center should be 30 feet (see Fire Department). 51. Sheet C -13 — There should be a triangulated landscaped area on the north side of the crosswalk (closer o the bottom of the sheet) similar to the south side of this crosswalk. 52. Sheet C -13 — There should be a triangulated landscaped area separating the six on- street parking spaces on the west side of Drew Street from the drop off area in front of the harbormaster building (adjust sidewalk length adjacent to the drop off area). 53. Sheet C -13 — Provide a dumpster and enclosure meeting City Code at the harbormaster building at the west end of the "loading" area (leftover pavement as extension of east/west Drew Street). 54. Sheet C -13 — If a dumpster enclosure is to be placed at the west end of this "loading" area, then the bollards shown are only there when an event is occurring at Coachman Park. Do these bollards have a cover for the holes in the ground for everyday circumstances (other than when an event is occurring in Coachman Park)? Need detail. 55. Sheet C -13 — Crosswalk east of the harbormaster building — Plan says to "meet and match existing" on the south side of Drew Street. Is this meeting and matching up to a sidewalk along the south side of Drew Street or does this crosswalk go to nothing. If to nothing, suggest extending to the sidewalk within Coachman Park OR eliminating this crosswalk ( ?). 5 6. Sheet C -13 —It was recommended to install a flagpole in front of the harbormaster building. 57 Sheet C -13 —If there is any sign necessary for the harbormaster building, need to show its location. 58. Sheet C -14 — Need to indicate what type of trees, shrubs and groundcovers to be planted in each location. 59 Sheet C -14, C -15, C -16 or C -17 — Need to provide a Plant Schedule table listing all proposed trees, shrubs and groundcovers with their symbol, total number of plants to be planted, common name, botanical name and size of plant (including spacing). 60. Sheet C -14 — Must plant a continuous hedge along the east side of the southern parking lot with trees F__1 Ah every 35 feet (smaller accent tmw under the bridge; larger shade trees nW side of bridge) (requirement is really for shade trees, but because of the bridge, can only plant accent trees; two accent trees = one shade tree). 61 Sheet C -14 — Code requires one shade tree per 150 square feet of interior landscape area (two accent trees = one shade tree). Revise southeast landscape island to have two accent trees, western landscape area around bridge column to have four accent trees and eastern landscape area around bridge column to have three accent trees. 62. Sheet C -15 — Code requires a continuous hedge along north side of southern parking lot. 0. Sheet C -15 — Islands at the ends of on- street parking rows and other areas indicate "small" and "large" alms. Need to indicate height of palms. 64. Sheet C -15 — Revise proposed landscaping accordingly — See comments 31, 40 and 41. 65. Sheet C -15 — Need to indicate what type of trees, shrubs and groundcovers to be planted in each location. 66. Sheet C -15 — Provide a continuous hedge with shade trees every 35 feet between the northern parking of and the on- street parking on the west side of Drew Street (two accent trees = one shade tree or three ms = one shade tree). 67. Sheet C -16 — Provide a continuous hedge with shade trees every 35 feet between the northern parking of and the on- street parking on the west side of Drew Street (two accent trees = one shade tree or three alms = one shade tree). 68. Sheet C -16 — Code requires a continuous hedge along north side of northern parking lot. Sheet C -16 - Within the landscape islands in the northern parking lot, Code requires shade trees in the islands (appear to be nine feet wide outside of curbing) (alternately, two accent trees = one shade tree or three palms = one shade tree). 70. Sheet C -17 — Should continue palms along street in front of harbormaster building. 71. Sheet C -17 — Should there be any changes to the landscaping in front of the harbormaster building, Code requires a minimum five -foot wide foundation landscape area, meeting the requirements of Section 3- 1202.E.2. 72. Sheet D -3 — Revise handicap stall length to 20 feet to match site plan conditions. 73. Sheet E -1 — Proposed location of parking light should be coordinated with proposed tree locations so as to avoid shielding of light by tree canopy. 74. Sheets E -2, E -3 & E -4 — Should bollard lights at the crosswalks be continued into the median (both sides) and to the other side of the street so as to light all of the crosswalk? 75. Sheet E -4 — Any overhead utilities associated with the harbormaster building will need to be undergrounded as part of this project. 14. Rick Carnley — General Services •15. Richard Hamilton — Engineering /Survey / Consultant Rob Duranczyk of WADE /TRIM, per our telephone conversation, November 26, 2007; stated that in SURVEY NOTES: #1, Sheet #C -2, the horizontal control datum network will eventually be changed to the Florida State Plane Coordinates, N.A.D. 83 -90, Florida West Zone. Ron stated that the older N.A.D. 1927 horizontal datum was employed to accommodate the prerequisite from the Army Core of Engineers. Ron also stated that all topographic surveys have been assimilated properly into the projects authoritative horizontal and vertical datums. No note has been prepared, that will determine responsibilities for construction stakeout and as- builds.

Pulled from Consent Agenda Level Three Application Case: TA2007 -01001 Amendments to the Community Development Code (Continued from October 16, 2007) Applicant: City of Clearwater, Planning Department. Request: Amendments to the Community Development Code regarding numerous provisions including revising and updating permitted and accessory uses, amending the height specifications for walls and fences in certain locations, providing fences to be permitted on vacant lots and lots without a primary use in certain locations, amending the setback requirement exceptions to allow certain site features, revising tree protection requirements and the tree removal permit process, revising the property maintenance requirements, amending the sign code to address signs on City property, providing for the layout of streets to be in a grid system, improving site plan review submittal requirements, making the Code consistent with Federal, State, and County law or rules, establishing a process for the Comprehensive Sign Program, strengthening the implementation requirements for Level One and Level Two development approvals, clarifying procedures for the neighborhood conservation overlay district designation process, revising code provisions to improve enforcement of the code, amending the definitions section, and updating the schedule of fees, rates, and charges. Neighborhood Association: Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition (Joe Evich, President, P.O. Box 8204, Clearwater, FL 33758). Presenter: Michael H. Reynolds, AICP, Planner III. Since passage of the Community Development Code in 1999, the Planning Department has reviewed the Code as it applies to certain proposed development and the City process of development review applications. City of Clearwater staff has provided input aimed at improving the Code based on how staff has experienced the Code's performance in various circumstances. City staff developed a list of existing Community Development Code provisions that should be amended to better reflect City development patterns and improve internal processes. As part of the code update process, suggested amendments have been collected from the Planning Department and Development & Neighborhood Services Department. Discussions occurred to snake certain that the amendments are workable and not conflicting with other City codes and processes. The Planning Department is recommending a total of 31 amendments to the Community Development Code. Some amendments present a change in current policy or a new policy. Other amendments are editorial in nature or are refinements to existing Community Development Code sections. Below is a summary of the most noteworthy proposed amendments organized by Code Article. A brief summary of other amendments is also provided here. Within the ordinance document, text that is underlined indicates proposed language and text containing strikethroughs indicate deletions. ■ Marinas and Marina Facilities (Pages 28 and 39 of Ordinance) These amendments change the parking requirement for proposed Marinas and Marina Facility projects within certain zoning districts. The amendments will ensure that marinas and marina facilities will provide adequate parking, even though the number of required parking spaces is decreased. The Planning Department Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 7835 -07, which makes revisions to the Community Development Code. Regarding Section 7, Article 2, Zoning Districts, Section 2 -903, (Table 2 -903. "D" District Flexible Development Standards), concern was expressed that reducing parking to one space per two boat slips would result in inadequate parking, especially at the downtown boat slips, where dock boxes will not be provided. It was noted that guest parking for larger boats also must be considered. It was recommended that the design for downtown boat docks feature an adjacent drop -off area for boaters to unload gear. It was noted that parking is a problem at Dunedin's marina. It was stated that data on recommended parking to boat slip ratio should be provided. At least 1.5 parking spaces per 2 boat slips was recommended. Concern was expressed that reduced parking requirements will make it more difficult for boaters to find parking and launch boats from north beach. Concern was expressed that parking problems currently exist at the beach marina. It was requested that the City Council verify that a study supported staff's recommendation. It was recommended that the number of spaces be based on data rather than by arbitrary decision. It was requested that staff restudy the issue and provide evidence of acceptable parking requirements for boat slips. It was felt it would be difficult for boaters to park up to 1,000 feet from the entrance docks that lack dock boxes. Planning Director Michael Delk said staff had significant conversations with consultants and performed an internal study of acceptable standards. The change is intended to bring consistency to the Code. Member Coates moved to recommend approval of Case: TA2007 -01001 based on the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing and recommend that language in Section 14, Article 3, Development Standards, Section 3 -903, be modified to read "... walkways leading to building entrances and driveway access to garages, ..." The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Member Coates moved to recommend approval of Case: TA2007 -01001 based on the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing and recommend that staff study the matter regarding the correct number of boat slips per parking space and provide evidence to substantiate their recommendation for one parking space for two slips. The motion was duly seconded. In response to a recommendation that the downtown boat slips be required to feature a drop -off area, Mr. Delk said the CDB could address that issue upon its review of the site plan. Upon the vote being taken, the motion carried unanimously. PROGRESS MEETING CLEARWATER DOWNTOWN BOAT SLIPS, PROMENADE & UPLAND LINK FRIDAY, November 30, 2007 — 9:00 A.M. — MSB 221 AGENDA I.

Cc: Thompson, Neil Subject: RE: Dockmaster Building Expansion /remodeling Bill - The schedule indicates Phase 1 construction of the Dock Master Facility to be from September 20th to November 14th (two months of construction). I don't know if you have a maximum end of construction deadline, such as by the end of the year ( ?). If you have to complete the construction of all improvements by the end of the year, then you may want to consider the two -step approach of getting a building permit.for the interior alterations and later, after the DRC review and approval of the FLS case for the exterior improvements, obtaining a building permit for the exterior improvements. If you have a maximum deadline to complete the construction by•the end of the year, you may not have enough time to do all the construction, after the DRC review and approval of the FLS case for the exterior improvements, by just obtaining one building permit for all of the construction. Keep in mind that you need only to submit for FLS review and approval for the Phase 1 exterior improvements, not the building expansion at this time.

Fowler (E- mail); Morris, William D.; Chesney, Ed; Quillen, Michael Cc: Delk, Michael; Clayton, Gina; Thompson, Neil; Garriott, Kevin Subject: Dock Master Building After this morning's meeting, I have checked with other Planning staff and Michael Delk with regard to the next phase of construction for the Dock Master Building. Since this next phase is for the addition of a new exterior door, changes to the exterior of the building, the addition of exterior steps and an exterior. handicap ramp, as well as interior renovation of the existing building, and since this is zoned Downtown District, prior to any issuance of a building permit for the exterior improvements of this construction a Flexible Standard Development (FLS) application will need to be approved through the Development Review Committee (DRC) process. The next deadline for submission is October 1, 2007, for the November 1, 2007, DRC meeting. The BCP process and FLS process may need to run together in order to provide for the construction of the exterior improvements. However, the interior renovation could precede the exterior improvements through the review and approval of a building permit for the interior renovation, with a subsequent permit for the exterior improvements in a two -step building permit process to accomplish the total end result of this next phase of construction. Following is an email response to Steve Fowler regarding the future expansion of the building floor. area, which will be applicable to this next phase (see above): From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 2:32 PM To: 'FOWLERARCH @aol.com' Subject: RE: Dock Master Building Steve - I have discussed this project with Michael Delk. While this expansion is related to the downtown marina as an accessory structure, the expansion of this Dockmaster building is preceding the required Flexible Development (FLD, public hearing) application to construct the marina and associated improvements. As such, the property is zoned Downtown District, where there are no outright permitted uses one can just obtain a building permit, but must be run through a process. The manner we will process this is as an "office" as a Flexible Standard Development (FLS) application. This will only go to the DRC. Should you have any questions regarding the application (attached), feel free to contact me. The flexibility criteria for "offices" are: 1. Height: The increased height results in an improved site plan and /or improved design and appearance; 2. Off - street parking: a. Adequate parking is available on a shared basis as determined by all existing land uses within 1,000 feet of the parcel proposed for development, or parking is available through any existing or planned and committed parking facilities or the shared parking formula in Article 2, Division 14; b. The physical characteristics of a proposed building are such that the likely uses of the property will require fewer parking spaces per floor area than otherwise required or that the use of significant portions of the building will be used for storage or other non - parking demand - generating purposes. 3.

Michael L. Delk, AICP Planning Director City of Clearwater, Florida myclearwater.com - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Wells, Wayne .Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 2:04 PM To: Delk, Michael Subject: Dock Master Building Michael - This Harbor Master building will be part of the downtown marina project. This building has been shown in all the drawings as part of the information to voters as part of the referendum, which was approved last year.. The Harbor Master building currently is storage and restrooms. Remodeling and expansion of this building is being phased to stay under the FEMA limits on construction. The proposal will expand the building to add restrooms and office space. Since this building will be part of the marina and the marina will require approval by the CDB, the desire is to move forward with the expansion of the Harbor Master building in advance of the downtown marina FLD application. The property is zoned Downtown District. While this is an accessory building to the primary use of marina, the expansion could potentially be processed at this time as an "Office" addition or under "Parks and Recreation Facilities ", both listed as a Flexible Standard (FLS) uses. Is this an appropriate determination? Secondly, I just want to make sure there are no charter issues with this building. I believe this building was included in the referendum change approved by the voters last year. During prior discussions with Laura Lipowski in the City Attorney's office, the building is appurtenant to the "open space" use currently of Coachman Park. Is this a correct determination going forward at this time? I need to provide a response to Mr. Fowler and I am being cautious to ensure no "red flags" are raised as approvals and construction progresses.

A simple schedule is to be complete and sent to Ed Chesney by Monday 6/18/07. Once this is accepted we are to put together a detailed schedule for each project on the waterfront. Boat Slip Update Tom Cuba reviewed the permit process and the EA information caused by the Grant. The City would like to have specific dates and a process to insure these funds are available prior to the bond sale. The front end of the Draft Design Build Criteria package was completed and available for this meeting. Due to the proposed changes we are to complete any loose ends of the Design Criteria Package and set this aside until needed. A letter was sent confirming the structural analysis was performed and there will be no restrictions on the Promenade due to events. A meeting may be held on Tuesday June 19 to discuss the schedule. Dave Gildersleeve is requested to attend. Promenade Update Lights were selected. We are to prepare a rendering of the entire waterfront showing the lights and street furniture. The City understands the Upland area has not been designed therefore the rendering will include a concept for the Upland area. The rendering is to include the Boat house. Upland Connection No comments, the City is awaiting the Promenade construction estimate from Wade Trim.

Move the Corp permit date up since Delta Seven will submit. We agreed to attempt to have Delta Seven attend the next meeting. Boat Slip Update We agreed to have Delta Seven make an early submittal on behalf of the City for the Army Corp of Engineer's Permit. Specifically we want to determine and resolve the set -back issue. This issue is partially clouded by-where the point is measured from, the center of the channel of the edge of the channel. It is further clouded by the depth of the channel. The Corp believes the depth is 9 feet when the survey shows it deeper. The Draft Design Build Criteria package was delivered. We are to send this electronically. We reported a structural analysis was performed and there will be no restrictions on the Promenade due to events. Some additional prestressed strands will be required and the reinforcing steel in the deck will be larger. The cost implication is small and not measurable. A letter will be forthcoming. We requested the City consider where the contractors can do staging for the Boat Slips project. In addition we requested a list of events the design /builder would need to work around. Promenade Update Once we have the lights selected prepare a rendering of the Promenade and the lighting. Council will need to see. The City requested an estimate of construction costs prior to the next submittal. The City wants to check the budget for all items.

Phase II Geotechnical engineering, final wind and wave study, pre - applications for environmental permitting, preliminary boat slip layout/plans, preliminary estimated construction and annual operations costs, color renderings, focus group meetings, and update of 2003 "Clearwater Bayfront Marina Feasibility Study" completed in the July 2006 (March through July 2006). Phase III services as originally approved provided responses to agency requests for additional information during permitting, final boat slip construction plans, and final construction cost estimate. A Purchase Order has not been issued to date for Phase III. All three phases were envisioned to be completed by November 2006, the original referendum date. The referendum was subsequently rescheduled to March 13, 2007 where it received voter approval. At the time the scope of work was approved by City Council, the precise construction delivery method had not been determined and the approved scope of work assumed a traditional design, permit, bid and construction project delivery process. During the completion of Phases I & II, it became evident that the preferred method of project delivery was to employ a design -build process due to the nature of the project. As a result, Phase Ill of the approved scope of work in the amount of $61,870 is revised below as follows to reflect implementation of the design -build process. 3.0 Phase Ill (Revised) Wade Trim will serve as the'City's Design -Build Criteria Consultant coordinating with City staff and the existing subconsultant team of Williams Earth Sciences (geotechnical engineering), Olsen Associates (wind and wave), Delta Seven (environmental permitting), and George F. Young (survey) to prepare a "design criteria package ". The design criteria package will address anticipated design, permitting and construction work involving the proposed boat slips, connections to the promenade structure and upland parking lot, landscaping, and subsurface utilities serving the project. Wade Trim will assist the City's Purchasing Department and Public Works Administration in the preparation of the bid package, performance standards, advertisement, attendance at pre -bid meeting, assistance in responding to bidder questions, review and ranking of the design -build submittals, and attendance at City Council award of contract meeting to answer any questions that may arise regarding the design -build process. Wade Trim will also attend bi- weekly project meetings with City staff through the award of bid by City Council. Deliverables will be provided in hard and electronic copy. Estimated Fees The estimated not to exceed fee for Phase III services as approved by City Council in March 2006 is $61,870.00. This budget will be combined with the $57,994.17 remaining in Phase II budget as of April 1, 2007 providing a total remaining project budget of $119,867.38. End of Scope of Work Note: A scope of work and fee estimate for continuing services beyond Phase III through the construction phase will be provided at a later date. This will likely include design of the upland improvements (i.e. utilities, sidewalks, parking lot, landscaping, etc.) and additional effort to be incurred by Delta Seven for responding to requests for additional information and /or clarification from the permitting and approval agencies.

North of Cleveland Street, we need at least everything west of and south of Drew Street, basically an extension of the east /west Drew Street south and west of the north /south Drew Street along the seawall showing the harbormaster building and the fishing pier area and the parking area between Drew Street and the seawall (north of Cleveland Street). The survey should also be showing the area where the promenade will be. South of Cleveland Street, we need to show the parking lot adjacent to the seawall all the way down to Pierce Street. The survey may need to at least go over to (showing the western edge of) the tennis court and the other parking lot west of City Hall (which will not be improved as part of the boat slip project). Hope this defines the upland area of the survey needed for the FLD case. If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me. We should also get together to talk about the width, length and setbacks of the proposed docks.

We will continue to accept this information until approximately 4 months prior to the expected opening of the project. During this time — an application will be prepared to include name, address, size /type of boat (slip size preference /up to size that would be accepted), and phone /address contact number. Needs to include a deadline for response once they are notified of slip to pay the first months rent. We will need to determine if there will be a deposit (non - refundable or refundable) required. Probably need to redo the whole procedures for boat slips wait list. 4 months prior to the opening, applications will be mailed to all who submitted a Boat Slip Interest Form. There will also be a press release where individuals can submit a request for an application was well as web page prominence and an advertisement in a local paper. A deadline of 2 months prior to the expected opening for all applications to be received. Residency will need to be verified (drivers license, voters id ?). Within 2 weeks of deadline, 2 lists will be completed in alphabetical order — each numbered 1 through ?. One list will be for residents, one list for non - residents. Approximately 1 month prior to completion (ready for occupancy), a public lottery will be held. Internal audit will do 2 random generated numbers list (one for the residents list, one for the non - residents list). The random number generation will decide the order for who is given the opportunity for a slip using the resident list first and if all slips are not allocated, then to the non - resident list. Those selected for a slip will be given 2 weeks to pay the first months rent. After that, they will be removed, and the next available person will be contacted. - Page 1 of 1 Wells, Wayne From: Gildersleeve, David [DGILDERSLEEVE @WadeTrim.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 9:20 AM To: Chesney, Ed; Kleinsorge, Bill; Simmons, Margie; Irwin, Rod; Davis, Laura M.; Morris, William D.; Quillen, Michael; Wells, Wayne; Matthews, Douglas E.; Brzezinski, Thomas; Grant, Lee; Josef, Veronica Cc: Gildersleeve, David Subject: Boat Slips Meeting Minutes Attached are the minutes of our last two progress meetings (March 23, 2007 and April 6, 2007).

Deadline Page 1 OPI -11 V.0 j� tampabay.com /opinion Times editorial n Keep door open today for waterfronfs'futm e F inally, there is the promise of new activity on Clearwater's downtown waterfront. t isn't just the voters' approval of the downtown boat slip project in the March 3 election that provides a reason for optimism. It is also the announcement that a new dinner cruise boat, the sleek Yacht StarShip II, will start plying the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway some- time next month. And it is the opening of the first block of Clearwater's streetscape project along Cleveland Street, with its more pedestrian - friendly environment. And it is the slowly rising tower of the Opus South high - rise condominium and retail project on the key corner of Osceola Avenue and Cleveland Street, where Calvary Baptist Church once stood. These items don't complete the puzzle — they are merely pieces — but people depressed over Clearwater's dreary down- town can find some cheer in them. While some other proposed condominium projects in or near downtown are languish- ing in the slow condo market, Opus South keeps going. That project will bring not only new residents, but also new shops to downtown. Troy Manthey, who oper- ates two dinner cruise ships in Tampa's Channelside dis- trict, will dock his newest ven- ture, the Yacht StarShip II, in the Clearwater Municipal Marina on Clearwater Beach. The 118- Special to the Times An artist's rendering of Yacht StarShip 11, a dinner cruise set to operate in Clearwater starting in April. The boat is owned by Troy Manthey, who operates other dinner cruise ships in Tampa. foot ship, in which .Manthey is investing $1- million, will offer sit -down dining for almost 150 people, a dance floor, an observa- tion deck, a cocktail lounge and a bridal suite. The ship's brunch, lunch and dinner cruises on the Intracoastal will give tourists and residents alike 'something new to do. The voters' decision on the boat slips gives Clearwater city government, for the first time in recent history, an open door to do something positive on pub- licly owned waterfront property. The project will bring around 129 rental boat slips, hundreds of feet of side -slip tieups for tran- sient boaters, a fishing pier and a promenade to the Intracoastal waterfront at the base of Coach- man Park — provided the city is able to obtain all necessary per- mits. The city did a good job of informing residents about the boat slips project in the leadup to the election, Their job doesn't end there, though. Some resi- dents believe Clearwater is inept when it comes to building public projects. Clearwater officials can help address that image problem by updating the public regularly during the permitting process and being completely account- able for any problems that arise. City officials surely understand that by doing so, they will earn public trust — perhaps enough to gain support for future projects to further improve the down- town waterfront. ,4 . ,+.

No. C000121 WADETRim March 22, 2007 Mr. Ed Chesney, PE Project Manager City of Clearwater 100 Myrtle Avenue Clearwater, FL 33758 Re: Project Budget Summary — Clearwater Downtown Boat Slips Phases I & II Dear Mr. Chesney: In March 2006 City Council approved a work order in the amount of $258,426.00 to complete Phases I and II of the Downtown Boat Slip project. A copy of the approved Purchase Order and Scope of Work and Fee estimate is attached. The actual budget under which Wade Trim has been working is $255,307.50 (the original budget was reduced by $3,118.50 — see email enclosed). While the project budget summary shows the project under budget through March 4, 2007, there are several tasks yet to be completed that will contribute to the final design phase along with some additional effort incurred since March 4, 2007. We sought to do only what was perceived to be necessary to advance the project to the referendum including further addressing the wave attenuation issues, initiating permitting (subsequently withdrawn when the referendum moved to March), educating the public about the specifics of the project, attending public meetings and responding to specific questions of media and interested parties. As you know, Phases I & II were scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2007 in advance of the original November referendum. With the referendum moving to March 2007, the project continued to incur effort right up to March 13, 2007. A significant portion of the additional effort incurred involved preparation for and attendance at the twice a month progress meetings for approximately four additional months. Mr. Erik Olsen, Olsen Associates incurred approximately $5,900 in additional services approved by the City (technical memorandum, conference calls, and attendance at City Council Meeting). FDEP permit fees of $4,000 were also taken from the available contingencies. It appears the contingencies planned for Phases I & 2 have enabled the team to remain within budget. Additionally, Williams Earth Sciences geotechnical engineering budget was reduced by approximately $8,000 when they could not secure a barge to complete the geotechnical borings as originally scoped. Williams Earth Sciences has remaining work necessary to support the final design. While Delta Seven has a small amount remaining in its contract, it will be necessary for them to restart the permitting process in the next phase. Erik Olsen also has $11,600 lump sum fee remaining in the budget for technical assistance in the formulation of performance specifications in the next phase of the project.

Envision an active, dynamic waterfront that becomes a destination for visitors cruising the Florida coast and locals out for a day of fun. Imagine a waterfront that's a destination point for families and visitors Project Components throughout the year, and what the destination could do to help revitalize Cleveland Street and surrounding areas. In the last five years, boat registration in Pinellas County has risen 15% while the number of available O Boat Slips O2 Promenade OParking Improvements OSecurity /Restrooms public slips has shrunk by 23 %. With more than 120,000 registered boaters in the Tampa Bay area, there is a critical need for public access.* By adding at least 129 public slips and more than 2,500 linear feet of daytime and overnight dockage, the new downtown Clearwater boat slips can be a vital component to the future of the region. -:y * - Source: Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council _ _ -l111 —.now, 10� INTOANTION k UNTO VISITWWW .OIV(L�AWATI.R.(OM /t64TSIIV 3 v 0 3 0, o, c Y Q Q as � c � a �m v a a 3 o v° o� Y � O C O Y o� a v v n v o o �r3 a -c v� a, 'o Y 01 Y 3 ° v� J a t ° oa �° o� 3 .v v > v� o� ° I_ Y �o o 'v in C7 Q What it includes: • 129 -140 public boat slips on the downtown waterfront • Over 1700'of overnight "side-tie" mooring for visitors • Over 800' of free "side -tie" mooring for daytime visits and special events • Renovations to the Drew Street Pier building for restrooms, showers, security office and laundry • Parking improvements and landscaping • Landing for ferry service to the beach and commercial pickup /dropoff What it does NOT include: • Permanent fencing along the waterfront or anywhere else in the park • Permanent commercial tenants • Dockside storage lockers or other visual impediments • Fuel docks (these are available at the Beach Marina) What it costs: • $11 million (approx. $10 million construction & bonding and $1 million for associated upland improvements) How it will be paid for: • A 20 -year bond, paid back with revenues from slip rentals will pay the majority of the cost. This means that users of the facility will bear the costs. • $50,000 annually for 10 years from the Clearwater Downtown Development Board and a $500,000 contribution from the city's Community Redevelopment Agency. • The city has applied for a $1.2 million state /federal grant and will pursue additional grant opporunities. • Based on the amount of grant funding received, initial slip rentals are projected at $15.50 /foot per month, which is a competitive market rate. �1 LJ qQ Between now and March, you'll likely hear a lot of assertions about what the project may or may not be. It's important for you to know the facts of the project so that you can judge for yourself. For updated questions and answers, you can log on to our website at www.mycleorwater.com. Q: What process was used to determine the feasibility of the project? A: The city hired a national firm to conduct a market study and financial feasibility analysis of the project. Engineering experts have examined everything from the wind and wave effects in Clearwater Harbor to the seagrasses along the waterfront. These studies are available on our website. Q: What about hurricanes? A: The facility is being built to withstand the effects we may see if directly hit by a high Category 2 storm. The floating concrete construction allows the docks to rise and fall with the tides, greatly increasing their durability in storm events. The exterior sections of the docks are protected by "wave attenuators;'specially designed to reduce wind and wave impacts in the facility. Q: How will the city decide who gets a slip at the new facility? A: Those interested in renting a slip will be asked to register their interest in advance. The city will then hold a random "lottery" drawing for slip selection. First priority will be given to residents of Clearwater. Q. What about the effects on the environment? A. The new facility will actually help to protect seagrasses both north and south of the Memorial Causeway Bridge. Boaters will no longer be able to pull in to the seagrasses on the shore, which has been a primary source of damage. Q. What's the timeline for the project? A. Should the project be approved, formal construction documents and permitting would immediately follow, with a goal to begin construction in October of 2008 and completion in December of 2009. Q. Is the water deep enough? A. Yes. As part of the study, engineers looked at mean low tides at the project site. These tides range from 4.5 feet at the smallest slips (closer to shore) up to 15.5 feet where the larger slips are located. • PROGRESS MEETING CLEARWATER DOWNTOWN BOAT SLIPS FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2007 — 9:00 A.M. — MSB 221 AGENDA I.

Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 9:27 AM To: Irwin, Rod; Castelli, Joelle Wiley Cc: Wells, Wayne Subject: RE: Boat Slips Parking Page 1 of 2 Rod; The short answer is we have not resolved the "difference" between the Marina standard of 1 space for every two boats, and the downtown standard of 1 space for one boat. Details: We did discuss this at one of the downtown boat slips meetings but changing it would require a change to code for "downtown" and I believe we intended to move forward with a change after the referendum. Buried in my office is a copy of on study pulled down off the internet on marina parking. It discussed various New England Marinas and concluded that even on "busy weekends" less than 25% of Marina Based vessels departed or were used on any one weekend. The only extreme case of high use (upwards of 70 %) was one marina at 4th of July for watching fireworks from the water. on weekdays the usage was less than 10 %. We do have an unresolved discrepancy. The beach has a 1 space for two vessels requirement for parking, downtown has 1 space for one vessel requirement. It was my understanding from the one meeting it came up that we would address at a later date and that was the last time it came up. We took the discussion no further than that other than to acknowledge that the 1 for 1 was not realistic in terms of the observed usage at the beach marina or any other local marina. While St. Pete does issues a parking space for each of its tenants it has ample space available that existed prior to the development of the Downtown Activities. A parking garage was built into the Downtown Core complex of retail activity in St. Pete, and St. Pete has 'overflow space available adjacent to Albert Whitted Airport that they run shuttles to and from for Vinoy park events and or their Downtown Pier Events. As far as special events in Downtown Clearwater, The city takes what the city needs for special events i.e. Jazz Holiday, For that event the lot under the bridge had ample parking while the Jazz event was filled to capacity. For a Marina Example, the Ironman event would be another extreme example where access to the marina lot was restricted and controlled and having a marina parking sticker did not guaranteed you a space to park, it just got you a reduced rate by buying in advance. Where it become an issue is with the competition for beach patrons parking in the marina lot and the commercial businesses having competing large events. Having the overflow lot on the beach helps for such situations. For the Downtown boat slips there are several alternative parking sites available on the weekends or during special events. A Coachman park event has not demonstrated the need to take over the lot under the bridge of the lot below city hall. In our previous discussion we saw this as a perceived problem but not one in reality unless we started to expand the Coachman Park "green space" and remove the parking from the Harborview lot. That would be a Downtown redevelopment issue and at some point require a discussion of additional parking included in the redevelopment plan. In Summary we need to revise the downtown requirement to be no more restrictive than the beach requirement and understand that we will not provide exclusive parking for any one individual vessel owner but may sell a parking sticker to save having to put coins in a metered space while you were underway on your vessel. At that time we should also address any long term departures so that vehicles are not left in downtown spaces for a prolonged period of time. That could be addressed both in the "Dock Permit" and the revised ordinance for downtown parking requirements for a "marina ". v /r, Bill M - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Irwin, Rod Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 1:52 PM To: Castelli, Joelle Wiley Cc: Morris, William D.; Wells, Wayne 2/8/2007 oat Slips Parking • • Subject: RE: Boat Slips Parking I am at home sick today, but will get you an answer ASAP.

Quality Boats also wants to work with the City to promote the boat slips project. The Downtown Boat Slips project is schedule for discussion at February's Government Affairs Subcommittee meeting. Doug Matthews has been working with Jack Latvala on the boat slips survey. The items of greatest interest to the respondents are the promenade and public walkways /docks. Emphasizing the "public" components of the project will be important in the weeks before the referendum. Emphasis should also be placed on the project being one of the strategies to recapture the downtown: Project Schedule — No additions or revisions to the schedule were offered. Please contact Dave Gildersleeve regarding any future changes. Financial — Margie Simmons noted that she had a conversation with Carl at the Clearwater Gazette regarding the "extra fuel sales ". Evidently he was uncomfortable with this and the miscellaneous revenues noted in the financial spreadsheet. Margie noted that the City attempted to keep the information simple and concise. This does not appear to be a lingering issue. Regarding the status of the City's Grant submittal, Bill Morris noted that no decision has been communicated to the City. He is working behind the scenes with several industry contacts who may have knowledge of the selection process.

This plan will go to the voters for approval in March. As staff, we're all representatives of the city, and many of us are Clearwater voters. This means that citizens, patrons and neighbors may look to you for information about the project as we approach a March 13 referendum. I've attached a basic fact sheet on the project that you can use for reference. These will also be distributed through Clearwater recreation centers, libraries, City Hall and the municipal services building. You can find detailed information, animations and more at the Web page Public Communications has set up for the project: www.myclearwater.com /boatslips . As always, I thank each of you for the professionalism and commitment you bring to the job every day. Hopefully by providing you with this information, I'm able to make that job a little easier when approached by the public.

Q: What process was used to determine the feasibility of the project? A: The city hired a national firm to conduct a market study and financial feasibility analysis of the project. Engineering experts have examined everything from the wind and wave effects in Clearwater Harbor to the seagrasses along the waterfront. These studies are available on our website. Q: What about hurricanes? I,1 The facility is being built to withstand the effects we may see if directly hit by a high Category 2 storm. The floating concrete construction allows the docks to rise and fall with the tides, greatly increasing their durability in storm events. The exterior sections of the docks are protected by "wave attenuators, specially designed to reduce wind and wave impacts in the facility. Q: How will the city decide who gets a slip at the new facility? A: Those interested in renting a slip will be asked to register their interest in advance. The city will then hold a random "lottery" drawing for slip selection. First priority will be given to residents of Clearwater. Q. What about the effects on the environment? A. The new facility will actually help to protect seagrasses both north and south of the Memorial Causeway Bridge. Boaters will no longer be able to pull in to the seagrasses on the shore, which has been a primary source of damage. Q. What's the timeline for the project? A. Should the project be approved, formal construction documents and permitting would immediately follow, with a goal to begin construction in October of 2008 and completion in December of 2009. Q. Is the water deep enough? A. Yes. As part of the study, engineers looked at mean low tides at the project site.

Background: The City of Clearwater has experienced a loss of wetslips and drystacks due to private redevelopment. The Pinellas County Boating Access Task Force documented a loss of 341 wetslips and 960 drystack racks in Pinellas County from 1996 to 2005. The City Marina waiting list has been capped and demand for boat slips continues to grow. The Downtown Plan contemplates and encourages boat slips, docks and promenades on the waterfront, and provision for such facilities is consistent with said Plan as well as the City of Clearwater's Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant to direction from the City Council, a feasibility study was conducted and the results were presented at the July 18, 2006 Council meeting. A referendum election is planned for March 13, 2007 to amend the Charter to allow for the building and maintenance of such amenities. The attached spreadsheet shows the financial viability of building the boat slips with no tax contribution and the assumptions used. The major assumptions are as follows: • Although the City has applied for approximately $1.2 million in grants, these grants have not awarded, so we have assumed that no grants are received. • The Downtown Development Board contributes $50,000 /year for 10 years. They have already agreed to this contribution. • The Community Redevelopment Agency contributes $500,000. • Bonds are issued to fund the balance needed to construct the boat slips. The borrowing would be for 20 years, with 1 year of capitalized interest and no principal in the first year (year of construction), and level debt service for the remaining 19 years. The interest rate assumed is 1% above the current rate. • Anticipated costs were obtained from City Marina staff based upon experiences with our existing Marina. 2006 costs for personnel were increased at 4.2% /year, and other operating and maintenance costs were increase at 3% /year. Repair and maintenance costs were increased once the bonds are retired (year 20) to provide for renewal and replacement of the facility. • The cost of constructing the boat slips is $11 million which was obtained from 3 separate sources for 2006 costs and inflated up to 2008 construction costs at 7% per year. The construction estimates include a 15% contingency. • Based upon these assumptions, the project will operate at a profit. Based upon the above assumptions, the following rates would be required to make the project financially sound. • Permanent slip rate will begin at $15.50 /foot/month increasing $.25 each year • Transient slip rate will begin at $2.00 /foot/day, increasing at $.05 each year (the City currently is charging $2 /foot/day at the existing beach Marina. • • These rates are reasonable based upon existing 2006 rates that are shown on the following chart. Applied Technology Management who was hired by the City to conduct a market analysis prepared this information. 2006 Rate Comparison 2006 Region Daily Monthly Northeast $1.84 $15.14 i Southeast $2.05 $38.23 Keys $2.10 $23.75 Southwest $1.88 $19.10 Northwest $1.60 $18.50 ................. - _ ...._.......... .._.._.... ..... ... ......... ... ........ ..... ............. ......._....................._:....._............._........................_......._............................._.__........... ' Average Florida $1.86 ....._..__._._...................... ._......................... _ ....... ...._........ $20.84 2009 Proposed Rates - Downtown Boat Slips $2.00 $15.50 Positive items to note on this feasibility study: 1. Over the 40 years, $12.7 million will be generated for repair, maintenance, and replacement of the facility. 2. Over the 40 years, $4.8 million will be generated in PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) to the General Fund. This is computed as 5.5% of prior year operating revenues, consistent with our other operating funds. 3. Over the 40 years, $4.8 million in total net income will be earned. This is after paying all costs associated with the boat slips. This averages a net income of $119,000 /year. In addition to setting the proposed rates, staff proposes setting a process for allocating these slips. The current website has an online form where individuals can register their interest in a boat slip. At the point in time when the referendum has passed, and the construction contract has been awarded, the City will contact all parties who have registered their interest as well as advertise to the public that applications will be accepted. Once the time period for applications has expired, it is proposed that a blind lottery be used, with first priority given to residents of the City of Clearwater. Staff will be bringing forward more specific rules for conducting the lottery and allocating slips in the future. Downtown Boat Slips Financial Feasibility Worksheet HtJmo.

Hibbard Mayor City of Clearwater 112 Osceola Ave. Clearwater, FL 33758 Dear Mayor Hibbard, Re: Downtown Boat Slip Project December 21, 2006 Upon review of the environmental aspects of the Downtown Boat Slip Project and the presentation provided to us at our December 20, 2006 Environmental Advisory Board Meeting, the Environmental Advisory Board unanimously supports the proposed Downtown Boat Slip Project. Sincerely, D. Michael Flanery Chair Environmental Advisory Board CC: City Council William B. Horne 11, City Manager Mahshid Arasteh, Public Works Administrator Michael D. Quillen, P.E. City Engineer D. Scott Rice, Assistant Engineering Director /Stormwater /Env. Ed. Chesney, Environmental Manager r pEC L 9 ?0- 'J , . 'PIP kt ; Recommendation: Approve the proposed rental rates for the downtown boat slips beginning in 2009 at $15.50 /foot/month and $2.00 /foot/day and the proposed method for awarding these slips by blind lottery with priority. given to City of Clearwater residents. Summary/Background: The City of Clearwater has experienced a loss of wetslips and drystacks due to private redevelopment. The Pinellas County Boating Access Task Force documented a loss of 341 wetslips and 960 drystack racks in Pinellas County from 1996 to, 2005. The City Marina waiting list has been capped and demand for boat slips continues to grow. The Downtown Plan contemplates and encourages boat slips, docks and promenades on the waterfront, and provision for such facilities is consistent with said Plan as well as the City of Clearwater's Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant to direction from the City Council, a feasibility study was conducted and the results were presented at the July 18, 2006 Council meeting. A referendum election is planned for March 13, 2007 to amend the Charter to allow for the building and maintenance of such amenities. The attached spreadsheet shows the financial viability of building the boat slips and the assumptions used. The major assumptions are as follows: • Although the City as applied for approximately $1.2 million in grants, these grants have not awarded, so we are assuming no grants are received. • The Downtown Development Board contributes $50,000 /year for 10 years. They have already agreed to this contribution. • The Community Redevelopment Agency contributes $500,000. • Bonds are issued to fund the balance needed to construct the boat slips. The borrowing would be for 20 years, with 1 year of capitalized interest and no principal in the first year (year of construction), and level debt service for the remaining 19 years. The interest rate assumed is 1% above the current rate. • Anticipated costs were obtained from City marina staff based upon experiences with our existing Marina. 2006 costs for personnel were increased at 4.2% /year, and other operating and maintenance costs were increase at 3% /year. Repair and maintenance costs were increased once the bonds are retired (year 20) to provide for renewal and replacement of the facility. • The cost of constructing the boat slips is $11 million which was obtained from 3 separate sources for 2006 costs and inflated up to 2008 construction costs at 7% per year. The construction estimates include a 15% contingency.` 0 0 Based upon the above assumptions, the following rates would be required to make the project financially sound. • Permanent slip rate will begin at $15.50 /foot/month increasing $.25 each year • Transient slip rate will begin at $2.00 /foot/day, increasing at $.05 each year (the City currently is charging $2 /foot/day at the existing beach Marina) These rates are reasonable based upon existing 2006 rates that are shown on the following chart. Applied Technology Management who was hired by the City to conduct a market analysis prepared this information. 2006 Rate Comparisons 2006 Region Northeast Southeast Keys Southwest Northwest Average Florida 2009 Proposed Rates - Downtown Boat Slips Dailv Monthly $1.84 -- $15.14 $2.05 - $38.23 - $2.10 $23.75 $1.88 $19.10 $1.60 $18.50 $1.86 $20.84 - $2.00 $15.50 Positive items to note on this feasibility study: 1. Over the 40 years, $12.7 will be generated for repair, maintenance, and replacement of the facility. 2. Over the 40 years, $4.8 million will be generated in PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) to the General Fund. This is computed as 5.5% of prior year operating revenues, consistent with our other operating funds. 3. Over the 40 years, $4.8 million in total net income will be earned. This is after paying all costs associated with the boat slips. This averages a net income of $119,000 /year. In addition to setting the proposed rates, staff proposes setting a process for allocating these slips. The current website has on online interest form where interested parties can register their interest in a boat slips. At the point in time where the referendum has passed, and the construction contract has been awarded, the City will contact all parties who had registered their interest as well as advertise to the public that applications will be accepted. Once the time period for applications has expired, it is a proposed that a blind lottery be used, with first priority given to residents of the City of Clearwater. Staff will be bringing forward more specific rules for conducting the lottery and allocating slips in the future.

From: Steve Ryder, Bellingham Marine • Date: December 13, 2006 Re: City of Clearwater — Downtown Boat Slips - Wave Attenuation Limits David, Per our conversations, I wanted to respond to some of the questions about the proper designs for the wave attenuators or fixed breakwaters for the Downtown Marina. Floating wave attenuators are good systems for wave protection in wave climates up to 3.5' as they dissipate about 40% of the wave energy and also provide a dock that can be used for mooring vessels. Likewise fixed breakwater systems can be designed and are used in wave climates higher than what floating systems are typically used in. There are limits though to what these types of systems can be used in and upon completion of the final design which could include a wave modeling test, the proper system would be used for the selected site conditions. The preliminary estimates provided to date have been based on a wave profile of 4.7 feet in height, a period of 3.5 seconds, a storm surge of 6.0 feet, Category 2 storm with 96 mph winds and the marina occupied with vessels. The Wind and Wave Study prepared by Olsen and Associates dated May, 2006 details the different wave conditions with and without a storm surge and those findings are presented in Tables 6 and 7. A design using a possible combination of both fixed and floating systems would provide the protection required while still providing the benefits of a floating dock system for the boaters. These different elements for this project could be incorporated into the present layout and budgets without major changes to the preliminary costs or layout. We look forward to moving to the formal design portion of the project and hope this information is helpful. Our group is available to discuss the issues further. 1813 Dennis St. Jacksonville, Florida 32204 (904) 358 -3362 (904) 354 -4818 FAX* Wells, Wayne From: Josef, Veronica Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 10:39 AM To: Simmons, Margie; Morris, William D.; Matthews, Douglas E.; Purdy, Brad; Quillen, Michael; Irwin, Rod; Lipowski, Laura; Chesney, Ed; Stafford, Shawn; ':dgildersleeve @wadetrim.com ; 'gtrim @wadetrim.com'; Wells, Wayne Cc: Barden, Carol; Yellin, Catherine; Shell, Heather C.; Harriger, Sandy; Horak, Cathy; Kleinsorge, Bill; Arasteh, Mahshid Subject: Boat Slip Meeting Please find attached, the Boat Slip Meeting Agenda for Friday, December 15, 2006 at 9:00am in the MSB Conf. # 221.

His last involvement on this issue was at the time of the development approval by City Council on January 20, 2005. The matter came up this morning during a discussion of the downtown boat slips. As I suggested this morning, he believes the matter must be a Level II (FLD) approval by the CDB. No application for development approval has been made at this time. Regarding the downtown boat slips, he has indicated FLD approval for variation in dock width and setbacks may need to be requested as part of the future application. We do not anticipate these being unsupportable issues under flexible criteria. We understand that the slips are proposed to extend out adjacent to the channel but were not aware of there being an issue with it comprising an excessive portion of the waterway width. Clearwater Harbor is substantially greater width. Michael Delk, AICP Planning Director City of Clearwater, FL 727 - 562 -4561 myclearwater.com • Wells, Wayne From: Matthews, Douglas E.

Changes to City -owned lands require approval via the referendum process. A previous effort to obtain citizen approval failed by narrow margins, and this result is thought to have been, at least in part, due to imprecision in the referendum language. The City is preparing to put a development proposal of limited and narrow scope before the voters as a referendum in the Spring 2007 elections. The purpose of this research is to determine whether typical Clearwater voters perceive the proposed referendum language as clear and comprehensible, and whether they can accurately envision the proposed project by reading the referendum language. Focus panel methodology was selected for this project. The target audience was represented by citizens of the City of Clearwater, selected at random from a list of voters who have consistently participated in the last 3 spring elections in Pinellas County. Susan Schuler, an experienced focus panel moderator, conducted the groups. They were held at a local restaurant; Jimmy's Fish House at the Clearwater Beach Gulfview Resort. Participants had no incentive to attend other than their interest in civic affairs in the City of Clearwater. Three groups were held: Monday, November 6th, Wednesday November 8th and Thursday, November 9th, 2006. A total of 14 citizens participated in the discussions. 3 0 PROPOSED REFERENDUM • SHALL CLEARWATER SECTION 2.01(d)(6) BE AMENDED AS PROVIDED IN ORDINANCE 7627 -06 TO ALLOW CITY -OWNED PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE DOCKS, MOORINGS, PROMENADE AND BOARDWALKS; NOT MORE THAN 140 DEDICATED BOAT SLIPS FOR WHICH CLEARWATER RESIDENTS SHALL HAVE FIRST PRIORITY; PUBLIC RESTROOMS AND DOCKMASTER'S OFFICE NOT TO EXCEED 1200 SQUARE FEET; AND BRING EXISTING SURFACE PARKING UP TO CITY CODE; ON PROPERTY GENERALLY BOUNDED BY DREW STREET, PIERCE STREET, THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY CHANNEL AND THE BLUFF? 4 • PANEL FINDINGS • At the beginning of each panel discussion, participants were given a written copy of the referendum language. They were asked to read it without discussion and then to mark a "ballot' to indicate their approval or disapproval of the project. The next step was discussion of their perception of the project based on the language and any other information they had coming into the discussion group. A Clearwater City official then joined the discussion to provide renderings and descriptions of the project and answer questions. Further discussion followed after the departure of the City representative. In all cases, participants felt that the detailed information answered many of their concerns and questions about the project. However, those who were initially opposed remained unconvinced. Awareness of the Proposed Project: All fourteen citizens participating in the panel discussions recalled seeing similar projects of larger scope on previous election ballots. Many participants were aware of the current project prior to participation in these groups. Knowledge of the proposal varied. Some participants were merely aware that it existed, several had seen renderings published in the local newspaper and one felt he had detailed knowledge of the proposed plan. Initial Support for the Proposed Project: After reading the proposed referendum language, 11 citizens were in favor of the proposal, 2 were against it and 1 abstained. The abstainer stated that she would never go into a polling place without having thoroughly researched each candidate and issue on the ballot. The project was of great interest to the participants in these panels, and resulted in lively and lengthy discussion at all three meetings. 5 0 1 0 Several citizens requested that the plan be well publicized in the newspaper, with drawings and renderings published in advance of the election date. Perception of the Referendum Text: Many participants felt that the text is not sufficiently clear and/or that the wording is too complex. Many wished to add information to the body of the text. For example, the phrase "for which Clearwater residents shall have first priority" — does this refer only to the boat slips, or does it also refer to the docks, moorings, promenade and/or boardwalks? Similarly, it is not clear exactly which facilities will be "publicly accessible ". There are differing opinions on what exactly is a. "boardwalk" and how it differs from a "promenade ". Which of these provides foot access to the boat slips? Can the public gain access to boat slips? Will the "boardwalk" include shops and eating places? The definition of "mooring" is also debatable. It might be a place to tie up a boat at dockside, or it might be a freestanding pole anchored in the bottom, equipped with hardware for tying up a boat. The exact position of the boat slips was not clearly understood from the text. Participants couldn't determine how far from the seawall these would be placed, and had differing opinions whether they would be north or south of the bridge, or on both sides of it. Some citizens suggested that the proposal amounts to a "marina ", and that this term needs to be included in the text. However, during our discussion, the group demonstrated that the meaning of "marina" is variable and implies the inclusion of certain facilities that are not in the proposal. These include fuel pumps and fish cleaning stations, as well as provision for commercial fishing boats. The public restrooms and dockmaster's office did not cause much concern, because 1200 square feet is perceived as a small building. n 0 0 Citizens would like to know specifically which parking areas are referenced in the wording, and whether bringing them "up to City code" means changing the number of spaces provided or is merely an appearance /landscaping issue. Almost all residents felt they understood the location of the project. Just one person requested greater clarification of the location by referencing landmarks, such as Coachman Park, in the language. Another felt strongly that the location should be the first thing in the text. Another suggestion is to write the entire text in simple declarative sentences, with no semicolons. One panelist wrote out a suggested revision of the referendum as follows: "Shall Clearwater section 2.01(d)(6) be amended as provided in ordinance 7627 -06 to allow the City to build a marina on the property generally bounded by Drew Street, Pierce Street, Intracoastal Waterway channel, and the bluff. with publicly accessed docks, promenade, boardwalks, up to 140 dedicated boat slips for which Clearwater residents shall have first priority, public restrooms and dockmaster's office up to 1200 square feet. Existing surface parking will be brought up to city code." Finally, several participants agreed that the text should specify that fueling facilities for boats will NOT be included in the project. They feel that this will provide assurance that nothing distasteful, ugly, or smelly will be a part of the project. It is not well known that the City of Clearwater is legally required to obtain citizen approval of all changes to publicly owned property. Several people felt that the,City could build the proposed development when it is approved, and later on add facilities that are not specifically prohibited in the referendum. Reasons to Support the Proposed Project: This facility would be an asset to the City of Clearwater downtown area and would create a more beautiful view of the waters off Coachman Park. Favorable impressions of city marinas in nearby municipalities like Dunedin were cited. These are seen as enhancing the appearance of the city and being attractive places to visit. 7 • • But, will it be enough in itself to attract people downtown? This is seen as debatable, although the facility is a step in the right direction. The addition of nearby restaurants and shops would be desirable. Some participants argued that Clearwater needed the previous plan to be implemented because it was more expansive. There is general agreement that Clearwater's downtown needs to be "revitalized" and eventually more people should live downtown. All agree that marina facilities are currently in short supply in the area and the facility is needed to meet the needs of boat owners locally. Several panelists own boats, and others know people with boats who have no place to park them. In general, boaters have fewer places to go to in their boats than in the past. If this project provides a good place for casual boaters to access downtown Clearwater for a day trip, it will add to the utility and appeal of the project. Reasons to Oppose the Proposed Project: There are environmental concerns. Will there be sewage facilities for the use of boaters? There is a chance of fouling the water. There is also the chance of trash being thrown in the water. Several citizens suggested that the water off Coachman Park is too shallow for boat slips, so dredging would be needed, perhaps repeatedly, to maintain the necessary water depth. The initial and ongoing expense of dredging is a concern. This and other operating expenses might mean public funds would be required to support the project in the future. There may be a perception that boat slips are primarily for the wealthy. Is it fair to spend all that money to accommodate a few rich people? Boat slips cost too much for average people to rent them. One group decided that this argument would not succeed because so many Clearwater residents own boats. It may be felt that this project would interfere with the casual boater's use of Coachman Park. For example, one participant described listening to concerts in the park while anchored offshore in her boat. Will that still be possible? • If commercial vessels were allowed to use the facility, as they are in the current Clearwater Marina, this would make it unattractive. Parking is a key concern. Residents feel that there is not enough parking in this area to meet current needs, much less the added needs generated by boat facilities. Some believe boat owners would be allowed to rent parking spaces for their exclusive use — reducing the parking available to all. Requests for Additional Information About the Proposed Project: Would it pay for itself, or would tax dollars ever be used to offset initial or ongoing losses? Would Clearwater citizens get a better rate on the boat slips than non - residents? Would the boat slips be permanently assigned or available for short-term use? Where is the dockmaster's office, and what will be the responsibilities of that position? Will parking spaces be permanently assigned to people renting boat slips? How much parking will slip users require and will this leave enough for other Clearwater residents and visitors, especially on dates when events are held at Coachman Park. Can people trailer their boats to the site? How does this plan affect the band shell? Suggestions from Boaters: The City should leave some slips open for the use of transient boats. This plan needs to be supplemented by restaurants developed nearby. There is a need to build facilities for boats 25 -45 feet in length. Any larger could be seen as elitist. Some boaters would like to see the facility include a "mooring field "; an array of screw -anchor moorings, i.e. poles set into the bottom and protruding a few feet above the water, with 6 0 & attachments for boats to tie up. They feel this is as, or more, valuable to boaters as are boat slips. Such moorings can be rented out or left available for transient use. These are described as "hurricane- proof' because winds and water movements cause boats to move around them in unison without colliding with the mooring posts or with other boats. It was suggested that dedicated boat slips would rent for $1,500 to $3,000 per year and should provide individually metered water, electric service, cable TV and possibly telephone — although phone service is becoming unnecessary with the widespread usage of mobile phones. They suggest that WiFi access is an inexpensive service that would be highly valued by boaters. The facility should also provide garbage disposal and access to public transportation. It was suggested that a ratio or 80% resident and 20% transient boat slip allocation be used. The dockmaster's office facility is perceived as relatively small and possibly not offering enough space for the needs of boaters to have showers, laundry facilities and adequate restrooms. It was suggested that access to showers and laundry, and perhaps to restrooms be restricted to authorized users through the implementation of a pass -code system. Access of the public to docks, with the possibility that people might venture into the boat slip area, is thought to be unacceptable to many boaters. This is a security concern. Boaters trust other boaters, but not the general public. A final suggestion is that the City promote the marina facility and make final plans through meetings with local boaters. Secondly, the City should seek pledges from local boaters to rent slips, even before the election is held, so that financial support for the project can be demonstrated. Other Comments and Requests: One man requested that the City build a facility appropriate for kayaks and canoes. He is a kayak user and finds no suitable facilities to launch his craft in the immediate local area. 10 PANEL AGENDA CITY OF CLEARWATER CHARTER, NOVEMBER 6-9,2006 1) Mayor to thank participants (3 min) 2) Introductions — explain type of group, rules.

A regularly scheduled Progress Meeting was held on Tuesday, November 14, 2006 in the City Manager's Conference Room at City Hall. The meeting commenced at 9:00 a.m. with the following people in attendance: Mahshid Arasteh, Public Works Ed Chesney, Public Works Dave Gildersleeve, Project Manager, Wade Trim Rod Irwin, Assistant City Manager Bill Kleinsorg, Finance Laura Lipowski, Assistant City Attorney Doug Matthews, Public Communications & Marketing William Morris, Marine & Aviation Division Mike Quillen, City Engineer Margie Simmons, Finance Director The following items were discussed following the meeting agenda: 1, Review Agenda 2. Status — FDOT Maintenance Agreement Richard Vickers (FDOT Legal Counsel) wants to schedule a meeting or conference call to finalize the maintenance needs for inclusion in the forthcoming Easement Agreement. Laura will schedule the meeting /conference call that will include Dave Gildersleeve, Mahshid Arasteh, Bill Morris and Laura Lipowski. 3. Status — Computer Renderings/Water Color by HDR/Citizens Educational Activities. Doug Matthews noted that the Focus Group meetings went well however, there was not the attendance anticipated. Participants were supportive of the project and additional feedback from Focus Group attendees should be received this week. Specific exclusions were of interest to the Focus Group (e.g. fuel docks). The language needs to clearly communicate "what it is" and "what it isn't ". There was discussion regarding the appropriate perspective of the forthcoming renderings by HDR. It was generally agreed that one of the two perspectives should be slightly reoriented to capture more of the boat slips and less of the bulkhead and upland areas. Doug will work with Ed Stillo at HDR to finalize the perspective. There was also discussion about bookending the proposed boat slip project on C -VIEW. 4. Project Schedule — Review and Update if Necessary Add December 15, 2006 as the decision date for the March ballot language. Representatives of ATM, Delta Seven and Bellingham Marine will be requested to attend the January 24, 2007 presentation with Margie Simmons. 5. Guard House Building Status Bill Morris indicated that the entire roof has been replaced with shingles and several wall beams and sheathing (T -111) have been replaced due to rot and termite damage. The building is approximately 70% complete in terms of bringing the building back to structural soundness. Between now and December 31, 2006, approximately $13,000 worth of items that count against the FEMA rule will be added to the structure. The underlying goal is to get the building to look presentable and consistent with Steve Fowler's design. 6. Confirm Next Progress Meeting Date The next meeting will be held on November 28, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. in the City Manager's Conference Room. 7.

This document is an interactive worksheet regarding the financial feasibility of the downtown boat slips assuming no tax dollars with the exception of the commitment from the Downtown Development Board of $50,000 /year for 10 years and a one time capital contribution of $500,000 from the CRA tax increment funds. The grants revenue is federal money generated from taxes on boat fuel sales. When manipulating these worksheets, the first item to input is the amount of grant revenue received. Then the permanent and transient slip rent start rates are adjusted until the net income (yellow column) is positive for most of the years 1 — 19. 1 have chosen to start the transient rate at $2 /ft. /day since that is the rate currently charged at our existing Marina. Lastly, the repair and maintenance number is adjusted in year 20 so that most years 20 -40 show a slight positive net income (I used $850,000 on all 3 sheets) and to build up funds for major repairs and /or replacement of the boat slips at the end of its useful life. The separate worksheets show: 1. $1.2 million in grants, the permanent slips rental rate would start at $13.50 2. $600,000 in grants, the permanent slip rental rate would start at $14.50 3. No grants received, the permanent slip rental rate would start at $15.50 These rates appear to be reasonable based upon the market study performed by ATM. 5 4 IV :, Following are assumptions and explanations for these worksheets have any questions, please feel free to contact me. If you The following information is important when reviewing these spreadsheets. 1. 20 -year bonds are proposed with the first year during construction where interest only is paid on the bonds. The bonds are issued with the first year's interest borrowed since the slips will not generate any revenue until the second year. Bond years 2 — 20 are the operations years 1 —19. 2. Personal costs are based upon 2006 numbers inflated up to 2009 (year 1 of operations) at 4.2% increase per year for the entire 40 -year expected life of the boat slips. 3. Other operating costs are based upon the 2006 numbers inflated up to 2009 (year 1 of operations) at 3% increase per year for the entire 40- year expected life of the boat slips. 4. Repair and maintenance costs are based upon the 2006 numbers inflated up to 2009 (year 1 of operations) at 3% increase per year for years 1 —19 of operations. After the bonds are fully paid (year 20 of operations), $850,000 is committed toward repairs and maintenance (including replacement) decreasing at 4% per year for years 20 — 40 of operations. The total at the bottom of this column shows over $12.5 million is committed for this purpose. 5. The payment is lieu of taxes is calculated as 5.5% of prior years gross revenues. This amount is transferred to the General Fund to support general fund operations. The total at the bottom of this column shows over $4.5 million will be transferred to the General Fund over this time period. 6. The debt payments were provided by the City's Financial Advisor at 1 % above the market rates. The savings columns (DDB, CRA, and Grant) are estimates at the annual savings in debt payments based upon the capital contribution from the DDB of $100,000 (first 2 years of contributions), CRA of $500,000 one time capital contribution, and the amount of grants received. Receiving these funds and not needing to issue as much debt reduces the annual debt payments. 7. The construction cost estimate of $11 million is per estimates provided by consultants. 8. Bond proceeds is the amount of the construction costs plus the first years interest expense. W'P' 9. The permanent slip rent revenue is a function the slip rent charged per foot per month increasing annually by $.25. There are 5,270 feet of boat slips. In year 1, it is assumed that the slips are 90% occupied. From year 2 on, 100% occupancy is assumed. 10. The transient slip rent revenue is a function of the slip rent charged per foot per day increasing annually by $.05. There are 545 of transient slip feet available (assume 61.5% occupied), 560 of transient internal side tie feet (assume 61.5% occupied), and 1,142 of transient external side tie feet available (assume 30% occupied). All of the above is discounted to 70% due to discounts provided to long -term transients. 11. Utility fees are a pass through of utility charges paid by permanent slips users. Expense is reflected in other operating costs. These are increased at 3% per year annually. 12. Sales is a combinationof profit on fuel sales at $.32 /gallon sold ($64,303 per year) and xsales revenue on ice and other sundry items (starting at $16,000 per year and increasing approximately 3% per year. The expense for sale items is included in other operating costs). t3 13. The net income column (in yellow) is the result of subtracting the total costs from the total revenue. 14. The last 6 columns on the sheet are the interactive calculations of the permanent and transienttslips rent revenues. The initial rates are the rates in the ATM study. CThe updated rates are the rates to be charged in order to eliminate anywshortfall. • i Wells, Wayne From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 2:00 PM To: Dave Gildersleeve (E -mail) Cc: Arasteh, Mahshid; Irwin, Rod; Matthews, Douglas E.; Chesney, Ed; Lipowski, Laura; Morris, William D.; Quillen, Michael; Simmons, Margie; Delk, Michael; Clayton, Gina; Thompson, Neil Subject: Downtown Boat Slips Project Schedule Dave - Looking at the project schedule handed out at today's meeting, the starting date is shown as December 7, 2007, and an ending date of April 11, 2008, for the Clearwater Permitting Period. Looking at the new Planning Department 2007 Submittal Schedule, the deadline to submit a Flexible Development (FLD) application to the Planning Department is December 3, 2007 (noon). Based on this Planning Department schedule, assuming a complete application is filed and found sufficient by the Development Review Committee (DRC), the application would be heard by the Community Development Board (CDB) on February 19, 2008. Assuming the CDB approves the application and there are no conditions of approval requiring compliance of an item prior to Planning Department signoff on the County permit application, the County permit application could technically be signed off by the Planning Department the next day (February 20, 2008). Hope this information helps with the process. Wayne 0 0 PROGRESS MEETING CLEARWATER DOWNTOWN BOAT SLIPS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2006 - 9:00 A.M. - AGENDA I.

GSS folks are busting their tails as well to do the maintenance work and Kevin Garriott has been very helpfull with Interpreting the FEMA regs and keeping our planning in line with city building code under chapter 51. I spoke to Rod Irwin after our morning meeting and we will go forward for an appraisal after we get the building up to code and fix its appearance. Hopefully that will give us enough "room" to afford a metal roof so - we stay under the 50% of the appraised value of the structure.,From the conversation at this mornings meeting it sounds like we need to get a few bids on the roof work, their $12,000 price quote seemed extremely high for a 600 sq foot roof.

The attenuator docks will be designed to reduce the size and height of a wave, and thereby its power. It is important to recognize that the attenuator docks are designed to accommodate anticipated forces associated projected wave height and duration which can be equated to a particular storm category. The location of the perimeter attenuator docks are depicted on the attached graphic at depths ranging from 10 to 15 feet. These wave attenuators will be designed and constructed specifically for wave height and duration identified in the Olsen Associates study and the specific conditions unique to the coastal area of Clearwater. Historically, most marinas throughout the state have been designed with attenuators to withstand forces equating to a Category I Hurricane event. With regard to Clearwater's boat slip project, the designers will utilize 18" concrete piling to support the attenuators along the perimeter of the project which are larger than those located inside of the boat slip project. The spacing of these 18" piling will also serve to strengthen the attenuator docks from anticipated horizontal forces of a Category II Hurricane event. Designs for the Category II hurricane employ basically the same design process, but with generally wider and deeper attenuator docks sized for anticipated wave height and duration. Both of the companies consulted during the study (i.e. Bellingham Marine and Shoremaster) have designed and installed wave attenuators at many coastal locations both within and outside the United States. Enclosed are two photographs depicting a typical concrete wave attenuator. Based on the Wind and Wave Study conducted by Olsen Associates, Inc., the Consultant and the City have taken a conservative position to design for wave height and duration characteristic of a Category II Hurricane (occupied) /Category III (unoccupied). For reference, Mr. Steve Ryder of Bellingham Marine, who has been our primary contact at Bellingham, has provided the names of marinas in Florida that they have designed with attenuators to accommodate wave height and duration characteristic of a Category I Hurricane event. Again, the primary difference between the attenuator design for a Category I and Category II Hurricane event is the general width and depth of the proposed perimeter attenuator docks. Clearwater's will likely be wider and deeper than those marinas identified below. Mr. Ryder can be reached at 904 - 358 -3362 (office) or 904 - 613 -2331 (cell) regarding the proposed attenuator docks. These marinas include: Legacy Harbour Marina (formerly Centennial Marina) in downtown Ft. Myers. This is a 131 slip marina with 40 foot to 70 foot slips. The Harbormaster is Dave O'Connor who can be reached at 239 - 461 -0775 should the City have any questions. Fernandina Beach City Marina. On the Atlantic coast, this marina is also designed for a Category I Hurricane with attenuator docks. The contact is Mr. Coleman Langshaw, Marina Administrator, at 904 - 491 -2089. Water Depth The layout of the proposed slips represents a conscious effort to: (1) protect the existing seagrasses identified in the study from damage currently being caused by motorized vessels during special events, and (2) to locate the first row of slips south of the bridge and the public day /event docking space paralleling the seawall north of the bridge at sufficient depths to accommodate vessels with drafts ranging from two to four feet. As graphically depicted on the attachment, the water depths at mean low tide vary from 6.2 feet to 8.3 feet along the first row of docks paralleling the seawall north of the bridge. Consequently, the public day /event docking area on the north side of the bridge has a controlling depth of -6.2 feet at mean low tide. Given this depth, it is anticipated that vessels (motor and sailboats) with drafts up to four feet should be able to easily moor along this dock. The approximate distance between proposed day /event dock and the two docks on the north side of the bridge is 75 feet (to shorter dock) and 79 feet (to the longer dock) paralleling the Intracoastal Waterway. Given these distances, only vessels under 50 feet in length will be permitted to moor at the day /event dock paralleling the seawall. Signage is recommended that limits docking of vessels with a draft greater than four feet or less or vessel lengths of 50 feet or less along the day /event dock.

The meeting commenced at approximately 9:00 a.m. with the following people in attendance: Mahshid Arasteh, Public Works Administration Shawn Stafford, Public Communications & Marketing Ed Chesney, Public Works Greg Trim, Project Engineer, Wade Trim Rod Irwin, Assistant City Manager Laura Lipowski, Assistant City Attorney William Morris, Marine and Aviation Division Michael Quillen, City Engineer Bill Kleinsorg, City of Clearwater, Finance Margie Simmons, City of Clearwater, Finance Wayne Wells, City of Clearwater, Planning Greg Trim provided an agenda for the meeting which included a media question response memorandum and an updated project schedule. The following items were discussed following the meeting agenda: 1. Review Agenda 2. Status — FDOT Bridge Maintenance Agreement Laura Lipowski is working on this item with Dave Vickers and is confident that it will be completed within the time window shown in the project schedule. 3. Status — Computer Renderings/Water color by HDR/Citizen Educational Activities — Shawn Stafford 1" reading ordinance no. 7672 -06 was handed out and discussion on a third party to run the focus groups commenced. No consultants will be involved at the focus group meetings. There were concerns expressed with how the ballot language would be developed with the assistance of a third party that is not familiar with the project. The general public will have received more and different information from the media that might require further explanation by an informed party as the ballot language is crafted during the focus groups. The focus group meetings have been rescheduled to November 6th and 8th, the summit is scheduled on February 21, 2007. The City is waiting on HDR's renderings; Shawn Stafford will check the status. Margie indicated how much HDR has been paid and how much is change order CADocuments and Settings \wayne.wells\Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \0LK4 \CLW205103M 101306 meeeting minutes.doc Progress Meeting Minutes 0 October 13, 2006 Page 2 pending. She also indicated that there was $47,500 allocated funds remaining in the budget. 4. Memorandum Addressing Media Questions —Wade Trim Comments on the memorandum indicated that the wave attenuators section provided detailed information that the City was looking for but the City wanted a structural engineer to be identified for any further questions. Mahshid and Dave have been in communications with Bellingham Marine's Structural Engineer sub consultant Bill Huffman with Carter & Sloop regarding wave attenuators they have designed and that are constructed that can sustain category II hurricane conditions. Apparently, most of the wave attenuator designs in Florida are for only category I hurricane conditions. Mahshid and Dave are waiting Bill's response. Comments pertaining to the water depth section were to remove the last sentence and replace with the an earlier version that included power boats as well as sail boats with limits on the largest vessels allowed to access the day /event docking spaces. A water depth chart was included with the memorandum and it was suggested to add two distances between the day /event dock and the two docks north of the bridge since that will also control the vessels sizes based on maneuvering abilities. 5. Project Schedule — Review and update if necessary • Revised focus group meeting dates to November 6th and 8th, 2006 • Revise Campaign kick -off to January 24, 2007 • Revise Academy Summit to February 21, 2007 • Revise Bond Closing to a one day event (not duration) on April 29, 2007 • Revise Restroom Remodeling phase schedule to show one year separation from phase 1 completion to phase 1 a commencement and so on for further phases. 6. Signed and Sealed Property Survey — Mike Quillen. The City is preparing the required survey and Mike will get survey costs to Margie for budget monitoring. 7. Status Report — Boater Grant Application — Bill Morris Mahshid and Bill will contact FDOT to inquire about Environmental Report requirement possibility for FWC grant. There was considerable discussion related to the guardhouse renovation process and 50% rule.

PASSED ON FIRST READING AS AMENDED . PASSED ON SECOND AND FINAL READING AND ADOPTED Approved as to. form: Pamela K. Akin, City Attorney Frank V. Hibbard, Mayor Attest: Cynthia E. Goudeau, City Clerk Ordinance No. 7672 -06 MEMORANDUM TO: Rod Irwin, Assistant City Manager Mahshid Arasteh, PE, Public Works Administrator FROM: David Gildersleeve, Project Manager DATE: October 9, 2006 SUBJECT: Downtown Boat Slips In response to the two questions recently posed by the media regarding the strength of the wave attenuators to withstand a Category II Hurricane and the water depth adjacent to the most easterly docks paralleling the seawall, the following information is provided: Wave Attenuators As noted in the Clearwater Downtown Boat Slips Study prepared in July 2006, wave attenuators are proposed as part of the wider perimeter docks generally paralleling the channel of the Intracoastal Waterway. The attenuator docks will be designed to reduce the size and height of a wave, and thereby its power. It is important to recognize that the attenuator docks are designed to accommodate anticipated forces associated projected wave height and duration which can be equated to a particular storm category. The location of the perimeter attenuator docks are depicted on the attached graphic at depths ranging from 10 to 15 feet. These wave attenuators will be designed and constructed specifically for wave height and duration identified in the Olsen Associates study and the specific conditions unique to the coastal area of Clearwater. Historically, most marinas throughout the state have been designed with attenuators to withstand forces equating to a Category I Hurricane event. With regard to Clearwater's boat slip project, the designers will utilize 18" concrete piling to support the attenuators along the perimeter of the project which are larger than those located inside of the boat slip project. The spacing of these 18" piling will also serve to strengthen the attenuator docks from anticipated horizontal forces of a Category II Hurricane event. Designs for the Category II hurricane employ basically the same design process, but with generally wider and deeper attenuator docks sized for anticipated wave height and duration. Both of the companies consulted during the study (i.e. Bellingham Marine and Shoremaster) have designed and installed wave attenuators at many coastal locations both within and outside the United States. Enclosed are two photographs depicting a typical concrete wave attenuator. Based on the Wind and Wave Study conducted by Olsen Associates, Inc., the Consultant and the City have taken a conservative position to design for wave height and duration characteristic of a Category II Hurricane (occupied) /Category III (unoccupied). For reference, Mr. Steve Ryder of Bellingham Marine, who has been our primary contact at Bellingham, has provided the names of marinas in Florida that they have designed with attenuators to accommodate wave height and duration characteristic of a Category I Hurricane event. Again, the primary difference between the attenuator design for a Category I and Category II Hurricane event is the general width and depth of the proposed perimeter attenuator docks. Clearwater's will likely be wider and deeper ';ik. 0 0 than those marinas identified below. Mr. Ryder can be reached at 904 - 358 -3362 (office) or 904 - 613 -2331 (cell) regarding the proposed attenuator docks. These marinas include: Legacy Harbour Marina (formerly Centennial Marina) in downtown Ft. Myers. This is a 131 slip marina with 40 foot to 70 foot slips. The Harbormaster is Dave O'Connor who can be reached at 239 - 461 -0775 should the City have any questions. Fernandina Beach City Marina. On the Atlantic coast, this marina is also designed for a Category I Hurricane with attenuator docks. The contact is Mr. Coleman Langshaw, Marina Administrator, at 904 - 491 -2089. Water Depth The layout of the proposed slips represents a conscious effort to: (1) protect the existing seagrasses identified in the study from damage currently being caused by motorized vessels during special events, and (2) to locate the first row of slips south of the bridge and the public day /event docking space paralleling the seawall north of the bridge at sufficient depths to accommodate vessels with drafts ranging from two to four feet. As graphically depicted on the attachment, the water depths at mean low tide vary from 4.5 feet to 8.3 feet along the first row of docks paralleling the seawall. It is not envisioned that sailboats would moor at either of these locations as there are permanent and transient slips elsewhere within the project that are more appropriate for mooring of larger sailboats and motor vessels with deeper drafts.

After our meeting with Rod Irwin and Bill Morris, last Thursday (11/21), I revised the plans in an attempt to meet the City's interior green space requirement. The lot under MM it 'Aw 2006042 - Pl.pdf 2006042- P3.pdf the bridge was no problem and the old lot to e north can also work, but it's close. I went over to the Planning, and met with Michael Delk late Friday afternoon. We reviewed and discussed the revised plans, and he seemed to like it. He said that we should add the landscaping we want, and submit it directly to him. He will then present it to his staff for staff review. Once you and Rod Irwin have reviewed and discussed the attached files, please let me know what you think. I will then develop the landscape plans and submit them to Michael Delk.

We need to include that feature and find out everything we need to do for the Planning Department. We also need to go over any boat slip items with planning to make sure we are ok with the current design. It would be best if we could schedule a meeting with Wayne Wells to go over these two projects. Mahshid would like us to have any issues known or resolved before our next meeting (9/29/06).

Bill Morris will request a fee proposal from Steve Fowler for the restroom building work including a timeline schedule and renderings. • There was a brief discussion on the FDOT meeting held on August 29, 2006. It appears that bridge pier maintenance issues are not a concern. FDOT requires an easement from the City for the new bridge and a triangular piece of submerged land. A discussion on how the City should form focus groups was lead by Doug Mathews. The issue of compensating people to participate in the focus groups was not favored since the project is already controversial. Ideas to get residents to participate consisted of soliciting donations (food and drinks), offering VIP passes to City sponsored events (i.e. Jazz Concert) and providing refreshments and snacks at the event. • In order to keep the City Council members informed on the project's events to occur, Rod Irwin suggested that a one or two page memorandum be prepared for the members that they could reference to that would have a time -line of all associated project events (i.e. grants, financial items, design, construction, permitting, public communications... etc.). Rod requested Wade -Trim to prepare the overall project schedule with assistance and input from all associated City Departments. • Wayne Wells indicated that the project will need to be approved by the Community Development Board. Wayne indicated that the Board will typically be P: \Clw205l \03m \Dots \MunSvcs \CLW205103M 090106 meetingminutes.doc , • looking at required setbacks, dock lengths and widths. Wayne will provide Wade -Trim with the City zoning sections related to this project. • Boat slip related funding spreadsheet dated 8/31/06 was distributed and reviewed. Wade- Trim's work order for the Bayfront Promenade needs to be incorporated. Wade- Trim's work order amount is currently $143,914.98. Margie Simmons discussed the FWC's Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BigP) and the construction costs associated with building transient slips 26 feet in length or longer. A spreadsheet identifying cost classifications with the City's share and BigP share was provided. Margie requested Wade -Trim and Bill Morris to determine /confirm the construction costs associated with building the 26 foot length or longer transient slips. Margie also suggested that the spreadsheet should include the City's share for all the other cost classifications so the FWC understands the total amount of dollars the C1 is spending on this project. The grant application submittal date is October 10t . • There was discussion on the Bayfront Promenade schedule. Since the original schedule was based on a November 2006 referendum and that has since been moved back to March 2007, the promenade schedule needs to move back as well to avoid any conflicts and to be permitted with the boat slips as one package. Action Item List 1. Mike Quillen — Provide landscape parking lot plan view improvements. 2. Doug Matthews — Provide list of Frequently Asked Questions. 3. Wayne Wells — Provide City zoning codes related to the boat slips and .promenade structure. 4. Laura Lipowski — Prepare FDOT easements. 5. Bill Morris — Obtain restroom building fee proposal from Steve Fowler. 6. Wade -Trim — Prepare project timeline schedule and determine /confirm construction costs associated with building 26 foot length or longer transient slips.

A. The upland portion of the proposed location of the downtown boat slips /marina is zoned Downtown (D) District, where marinas /marina facilities are listed as a Flexible Development (FLD) use requiring Community Development Board (CDB) approval. Section 3- 601.C.3 of the Code also defines these docks also as commercial docks, requiring CDB approval as a Level 2 application (FLD). B. Assuming the voters approve the referendum to allow the downtown boat slips /marina, a FLD application must be filed with the Planning Department (one original and 14 copies) no later than noon on one of the application deadline dates published by the Planning Department. The application deadline is generally near the end of the month. Assuming a complete application is filed, the processing time is approximately three months. Once an application is filed with the. Planning Department and deemed "complete ", it is scheduled for a Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting. If deemed sufficient by the DRC, then it would be scheduled for the appropriate CDB meeting according to the schedule. Since this is a City project, there will be no application fee. I am attaching a copy of the FLD application to be used. C. The FLD application must include responses to the Flexibility criteria of Section 2- 903.H: 1. The parcel proposed for development is not located in areas identified in the Comprehensive Plan as areas of environmental significance including: a. The north end of Clearwater Beach; b. Clearwater Harbor grass beds; c. Cooper's Point; d. Clearwater Harbor spoil islands; e. Sand Key Park; f. The southern edge of Alligator Lake. 2. No commercial activities other than the mooring of boats on a rental basis shall be permitted on any parcel of land which is contiguous to a parcel of land which is designated as residential in the Zoning Atlas, unless the marina facilities are totally screened from view from the contiguous land which is designated as residential and the hours of operation of the commercial activities are limited to the time period between sunrise and sunset; and 3. The design of all buildings complies with the Downtown District design guidelines in Division 5 of Article 3. 4. All marina facilities shall comply with the commercial dock requirements set forth in Section 3- 601.C.3 and the marina and marina facilities requirements set forth in Section 3 -603. D. In addition to the above criteria of Section 2- 903.H, the commercial dock criteria of Section 3- 601.C.3.a -g must be addressed. The dimensional standards of Section 3- 601.C.3.h must also be met. Any deviations from the setbacks from the property lines (extended into the water), the length of the docks and the width of the docks would need to be included in the FLD request (if any). E. A survey of the property for the overall upland property where the boat slips /marina will be located must be submitted with the application. I am unaware of the existence of such a survey at this time. Site plans and details showing compliance with the criteria of Section 3- 601.C.3 must be submitted. The parking requirement in the Downtown District for a marina is one space per slip. It is my understanding that a reduction to this parking ratio will be requested as part of the FLD application. A parking demand study is required to be submitted as part of the reduction request, where the methodology or the study must be approved by the Planning and Traffic Engineerin�epartments prior to its preparation. 9Y The site plan must show any buildings associated with the boat slips /marina, parking lots, sidewalks, landscaping and the location of fire hydrants /risers. F. Assuming the CDB grants approval of the FLD application, the Pinellas County Water and Navigation Authority application must be signed off by the Planning Department prior to its submission to Pinellas County. The City does not issue building permits for the construction of the boat slips nor inspects their construction (Pinellas County permits and inspects). The construction of new facilities or improvement of existing facilities on the upland will require the submission and approval of building permits prior to construction. G. Restroom building - As it has been mentioned before, the repair of the facility will require building permits. The repair of the exterior of the building must be with like materials and color. Any repair of the exterior of the building where the exterior materials or color are proposed to be changed from the existing will require DRC approval of a Flexible Standard (FLS) application prior to issuance of any permits (I am attaching a FLS application should it be necessary). The future expansion of the building to include a harbormaster office must be included in the FLD application for the boat slips /marina. Exterior elevations (all sides) showing the proposed conditions of the building must be submitted with the FLD application, including the exterior materials and colors. H. Promenade - Based on information presented to the Planning Department to determine its "use" as it relates to the Community Development Code, the Planning Department determined the Promenade to be a "sidewalk" not requiring any special review. However, if the Promenade includes any ramp down to the water or is intended to be used as a place for water ferries or taxis to moor for embarking or disembarking customers, then the Promenade will be defined as a commercial dock and require FLD approval prior to the issuance of any permits for its construction. The requirements and procedures outlined above are applicable should this circumstance be desired. It was discussed at the last meeting that this latter circumstance is desired and should be included with the FLD application for the boat slips /marina. Should you have any questions regarding the above information, give me a call (727- 562 - 4504). Wayne a.

Rod has asked for a memo. From your office ( today if at all possible ) to Rod for Council and the CM's use that could have the responses to the following: #1- Is there a requirement in the building code for the boat slips to have a restroom facility or an ADA accessible restroom facility? #2 -Could new restrooms in the VE zone be built at the Seawall level? #3- Could the improvements to the existing Drew street Dock Building as being layed out by the General support services and Bill Morris be accomplished in phases in a three year period ( Bill had forwarded the plans to you last week). Thanks so much. Mahshid Arasteh Public Works Administrator City of Clearwater -------------------- - - - - -- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Garriott, Kevin To: Arasteh, Mahshid; Irwin, Rod CC: Kronschhabl, Jeff Sent: Fri Aug 04 16:09:01 2006 Subject: Restroom requirement We have researched the 104 Florida Building Codes. There does not appear to be a requirement for parks /recreation areas to be provided with bathroom areas in these codes. The codes do, however, have requirements if they are installed. If installed they need to meet all codes for building construction. Any existing building below base flood elevation is allowed to remodel or add on to up to a cost value of 50% of the value of the structure as it stands today. Also remember there is a Pinellas County ordinance /code that prohibits construction within 18' of any seawall. As discussed today, it would probably be wise to include the Planning Department is some discussions, as their code deals more with site issues than does the Building Code. If you have further questions on Building Code requirements, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kevin Garriott Development and Neighborhood Services Wells, Wayne From: Morris, William D.

It would be after Referendum (November) that we would be looking towards design changes. We still have to get Kevin G's Okay that we can use this building. We would be doing the design process prior to that time so we had renderings to show the public on what we propose to bring forward. Kevin Dunbar; just letting you know this building is back in the ADA compliant restroom /shower dock master /security office discussion for use with the boat slips pending the referendum passing.

Reviewed By: T. M. Scale: N.T.S Grid # 286A -286B S - T - R 16 -29 -15 Date: 07/25/06 Wells, Wayne From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 10:00 AM To: Delk, Michael Subject: Downtown boat docks /marina Michael - I have gotten with Tim Kurtz regarding the two parking lots for the downtown boat docks /marina. The estimate is $400 per space for landscaping and $180 per space for irrigation. This would produce an estimate of $13,920 for Lot #1 and $27,840 for Lot #2 to provide groundcover, shrubs and trees around the perimeter of each parking lot, including irrigation. These cost estimates do not include any dollars for removal of asphalt to install interior landscape islands, curbing and landscaping for any islands. The boat docks /marina will require fire protection (fire hydrants and fire risers). I don't know where the dock will access the land, but I think it is closer to Lot #1 than Lot #2. Based on the Engineering water maps, there are 12 -inch water lines running through both parking lots, but with no fire hydrants. Most likely at least one fire hydrant, with a fire department connection, will be required to be installed and the docks will probably have to have fire risers run out onto the docks. Fire extinguishers will also be required on the docks. Additional fire hydrants may be required close to any location where ferries may temporarily dock to pick up passengers. Parking Lot #1 currently has one light illuminating the entire lot. There is presently no lighting for Lot #2. Additionally, the docks will probably have to have electric run out onto the docks for power to the individual slips. I hope this helps.

Without any site plans or surveys to indicate the location of the two parking lots discussed at the recent meeting I attended, I have looked at and photographed these parking lots for the purpose of meeting the parking and landscape requirements of the Code for the boat dock /marina. The first parking lot (Lot #1) is north of Cleveland Street and west of Drew Street, the Harborside and Coachman Park. Based on the Property Appraiser's information, it appears this Lot #1 is on Parcel #16/29/15/76482 /002/0010. There is one driveway into this parking lot and the parking lot is separated from the roadway pavement by approximately four feet, which is covered by sod. There are a total of 24 parking spaces in one row facing the seawall in this parking lot, including one handicap space (note: handicap space is striped but is not designated with proper handicap signage). All spaces are metered. There are no interior islands in this parking lot. Code requires a minimum of 10 percent of the vehicular use area to be in interior landscaping. Not knowing where property lines are (versus right -of -way lines), potentially this approximate four -foot wide area along Drew Street could be counted toward meeting interior landscaping requirements, if planted to meet the Code requirements. At least one parking space should be removed toward meeting the interior landscape requirements. There is a sidewalk in front of the parking spaces adjacent to the seawall. This sidewalk extends beyond the parking lot both toward the north and south. At both the north and south ends of the parking lot there is landscaping (sod only). Potentially, if planted to meet Code requirements, a portion of the north and south ends could be counted toward meeting the interior landscape requirements. Otherwise, there are two singular palms within the sidewalk west of the parking lot. Street furniture included on the sidewalk is five benches and three trash receptacles. The second parking lot (Lot #2) is south of Cleveland Street, potentially within Pierce Boulevard. Based on the Property Appraiser's information, it appears this Lot #2 is on Parcel #16/29/15/20358 /001/0020 and Parcel # 16/29/15/00000/120 /0900. This parking lot is at the end of Pierce Boulevard and is under the Memorial Causeway bridge. Approximately in the middle of this parking lot is a bridge support column. There are a total of 48 parking spaces in this lot, with a row of parking spaces facing the water (west) and a row of parking spaces facing east, separated by a drive aisle, and includes three handicap parking spaces (note: all handicap spaces are striped, but only the southern handicap space is designated with proper handicap signage). All spaces are metered. There are no interior islands in this parking lot. Code requires a minimum of 10 percent of the vehicular use area to be in interior landscaping. There is a partial terminal island at the southwest corner of the parking lot. Since there is the bridge column in basically the center of the parking lot, one -way drives provide vehicular access to the northern portion of the parking lot. To create the one -way drives on either side of the bridge column, the pavement is diagonally striped. Potentially these striped out areas could be removed and planted to provide a portion of the interior landscape requirements. The terminal island at the southwest corner could be reworked and planted to be part of the interior landscaping. Additionally, potentially a portion of the terminal island in the southeast corner of the parking lot could be planted toward meeting the interior landscape requirements. There is a sidewalk adjacent to the parking spaces on the west side of the parking lot, with a sodded strip between the sidewalk and the seawall. Potentially this grass strip could be planted toward meeting the interior landscape requirement, but I am concerned with salt water spray as this is next to the seawall. North and east of the parking lot is grassed areas. Potentially, if planted to meet Code requirements, a portion of the north end and east area could be counted toward meeting the interior landscape requirements. Street furniture includes three trash receptacles. There are 12 parallel parking spaces within Drew Street, with the southern space at the northeast corner of Lot #1, that lead up to the building on the north end. If being counted toward meeting the parking requirements for the boat docks /marina, I don't know if any landscape improvements could be constructed in the right -of -way to separate these parking spaces for visual enhancement. Alternately, landscaping could be planted in lieu of the existing sod between the parallel parking spaces and the sidewalk that parallels the seawall. If this information is helpful, please forward this information on to Dave Gildersleeve and others. I am attaching photographs of these parking areas (Lots #1 and #2 and the parallel parking spaces).

Environmental Consultant Ed Chesney, City of Clearwater, Engineering Michael Delk, City of Clearwater, Planning Gina Clayton, City of Clearwater, Planning Dave Gildersleeve, Wade Trim, Project Manager Rod Irwin, City of Clearwater, Assistant City Manager Bill Kleinsorga, City of Clearwater, Finance Laura Lipowski, City of Clearwater, Legal Bill Morris, City of Clearwater, Harbormaster Margie Simmons, City of Clearwater, Finance Greg Trim, Wade Trim, Inc., Project Engineer Wayne Wells, City of Clearwater, Planning While the primary purpose of the meeting was to discuss the coordination of the proposed bayfront promenade and boat slips, several other topics were discussed. The following items were discussed and direction provided: ATM has provided the City with a draft back up report supporting the boat slip matrix provided earlier. Margie Simmons will forward a copy to Wade Trim. Ms. Simmons also requested clarification between the slip sizes reflected on the preliminary slip layout provided by the Consultant and the slip sizes reflected in the ATM study. Wade Trim and Delta Seven will coordinate and respond to Ms. Simmons. Regarding parking needed to support the proposed boat slips, City staff noted there is adequate parking within 1,000 feet of the proposed facility. The HarborView parking cannot be utilized for the proposed boat slips. There is adequate parking currently available immediately adjacent to the proposed boat slips north as well as under the new Memorial Causeway Bridge. The Planning Department will determine the appropriate number of parking spaces required and advise the Consultant of same. The parking information may be required by the permitting entities during the RAI phase of the boat slip permitting process. The Consultant will prepare the parking analysis as supplemental services utilizing available contract contingency budget. Regarding landscaping of the existing parking areas supporting the proposed boat slips, the Planning Department will provide the Consultant with specific requirements consistent with existing Land Development Regulations. Consideration should be given to the specific type of landscape materials proposed recognizing some of the area to be landscaped falls within the shadow of the new bridge. Landscaping should also be coordinated with the City's Landscape Architect. 0 0 • Regarding restrooms needed to support the proposed boat slips, it was noted that the restrooms would be located in the FEMA "A" Zone. Because of the distance of the existing structure from the southerly boat slips City Staff will consider other alternatives to renovating the existing structure at the end of Drew Street. The City had proposed to renovate this structure providing restrooms and showers. City Staff will look at the feasibility of relocating the existing structure as one alternative to providing the needed support facility. • Unanticipated upland support activities (i.e. restrooms, parking, landscaping, etc) should be included in the total project cost estimate. The Consultant and City staff will work together to identify these costs. • Regarding the forthcoming estimated project costs, City staff requested the Consultant also consider construction material options. While there was general concurrence that a concrete floating dock system was the desired construction option due to appearance, maintenance and life cycle costs, the Consultant will consider the inclusion of other construction materials (e.g. aluminum, wood, synthetics), in the design process. This will be coordinated with the two manufactures working with the Consultant on the design and cost estimating phases of the project and presented in the Consultant's forthcoming report. • Regarding the upcoming PowerPoint presentation scheduled before City Council in July, the Consultant was requested to begin working of the presentation outline and provide a list of anticipated slides and general content as quickly as possible. The Consultant will do this over the next two weeks. • Meeting participants discussed the proposed setback from the existing channel of the Intracoastal Waterway. The Consultant noted that it may be necessary to request a variance from the Pinellas County Navigation and Control Authority. However, until George F. Young completes the boundary/special purpose survey of the boat slip area, a final determination cannot be made. • Regarding the project schedule, the Consultant was requested to update the existing schedule and submit same to the City next week. Recognizing the schedule for all project deliverables had moved from the end of July to June 23, 2006, the Consultant will work closely with City staff over the next two to three weeks to ensure everything outlined in Phases I and II of the Work Order are complete on or before June 23, 2006. • The City will schedule a follow -up meeting with FDOT District Seven legal counsel to confirm land ownership and usage of the area including and immediately adjacent to the proposed boat slips. The Consultant was requested to attend this forthcoming meeting. • Regarding the design coordination between the proposed promenade and boat slip projects, it was decided to locate the proposed pedestrian ramp along the north side of the promenade and to make it ADA compliant. The team felt this was appropriate in order to minimize any conflicts between the proposed pedestrian ramp and the boat slips to be provided on the south side of the promenade and for security purposes. The meeting concluded at approximately 12:45 p.m. If these minutes do not accurately reflect meeting discussions, please contact Mr. Dave Gildersleeve, Wade Trim, Inc. at 813 - 882 -8366 or by e -mail at dgildersleeveta7.wadetrim.com.

The District Secretary raised the issue of whether boat slips under the bridge would pose a security concern. As a result, I have been copied on an email from Richard Vickers to his staff wherein he instructs staff (Ron Anderson) to raise the matter with the appropriate authorities and advise as to whether or not such slips would be allowed. I would like all City staff to understand that legally it is the City's position, and shall remain so unless and until I am provided documents indicating otherwise, that we own the bottomland and necessary upland to complete our project. There is no "potential liability" that the City is facing of which I am aware. I will keep you posted as to further developments.

The answers are as follows: What is the tolerance for commercial use and will such uses need to be included in the referendum? Once we narrow down the proposed commercial uses (as I understand it - Rod to discuss with Mr. Horne), we will need to include such uses in the referendum AND obtain written assurances from the State that such uses will not trigger the reverter clause of the 1925 Legislative Grant by which the City took ownership of the bottomlands. The preliminary feedback from outside counsel after discussions with the State was that "any reasonable proposal would be acceptable" and slips can be leased to help defer costs of operation and maintenance. Does the relocation of the bathroom facilities require a referendum? No. In accordance with Charter Section 2.01(d)(6), the subject property may not be developed or maintained OTHER THAN as open space and public utilities together with the associated appurtenances ... The bathroom facility is an appurtenance to the open space. If the City were to proceed with the Promenade only, would the promenade require a referendum? NO - if the Promenade is merely an extension of the upland walking area with no facilities on it. As you all know, we are meeting with FDOT today to resolve bridge maintenance issues. Aside from that, it is the intention at this time to seek final outside legal opinion on any ownership issue of bottomlands once the boat slip final plans are in place and a final survey can be supplied to counsel. Please do not hesitate if you have additional questions. Laura 0 From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 3:36 PM To: Delk, Michael Subject: RE: "Boat Slips" Michael - The use of "marina /marina facilities" is a primary use in the Downtown District requiring Flexible Development approval. The docks are tied to upland property, which will have a legal description for the upland property. The following requirements would be part of plans for such: 1. Parkin - It is presumed that the required parking and associated improvements would be on the upland property, where there is a physical relationship between the docks and its necessary parking. Since there is a possibility /probability that a parking reduction will be requested as part of the application, and since there is no range of parking listed for "marina /marina facilities," the request would need to be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. I also don't know if there would be an "attendant" building for the marina. 2. Landscaping - There are no required perimeter landscape buffers or setbacks in the Downtown District, however, the parking lot would need to be landscaped in accordance with the Landscape Code. This would include the interior landscape area (either 10 or 12 percent of the vehicular use area), which would be designed as islands or landscape areas separating parking rows to break up the sea of asphalt (generally no more than 10 spaces in a row, but Staff can allow up to 15 in a row). If required parking were to be in an existing parking lot deficient to Landscape Code, we would want it upgraded. 3. Fire Protection - Fire Codes will require fire protection for the docks, in the form of fire risers, etc. that the Fire Department would require. There may be utility improvements necessary for the docks and other structures (and /or parking lot) for such fire risers /fire hydrants. 4. Restrooms - I believe restrooms may be required for a marina, which will need to be handicap accessible and would need to be built above BFE or be floodproofed. 5. Handicap accessibility - I also believe the Building Code will require the docks to be handicap accessible. The docks should tie into a sidewalk system for Coachman Park and Downtown. Wayne - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Delk, Michael Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 2:30 PM To: Wells, Wayne Subject: "Boat Slips" Wayne - Unless parking or other improvements are made upland to the boat slips, we would not necessarily have landscaping as part of the dock review /permitting process would we? Issue here is that IF a bond issue is let for construction of docks, does the bonding amount give due consideration to all the costs involved in constructing the docks. Planning is being asked if we are aware of what all (in addition to) if anything needs to be calculated into cost associated with the slips. michael Michael Delk, AICP Planning Director City of Clearwater, FL 727 - 562 -4561 myclearwater.com Email from M.

I also agree a parking study would be appropriate as our peak times are on weekends and I would like to verify the availability of the county garage and adjacent lot that does not see much week end use. A reference Guide "Marina's and Small Craft Harbors" 2nd Edition, 2003 that I am using for the downtown boat slips planning, recommends a ration of .6 to no more than .8 per recreational boat with use of adjacent office lots or parking garages for overflow on major holidays like 4th of duly.

Wells, Wayne; Clayton, Gina Cc: Irwin, Rod; Matthews, Douglas E. Subject: RE: Proposed City Downtown Boat Docks /Marina Wayne, thanks for the detailed review, we have Identified 80 parking spaces "so far" counting the 46 new ones under the new bridge, 24 adjacent to the old bridge on the north side along the seawall, and 10 along the street on the west side of the street as you head north from the 24 spaces to the "Jazz Holiday Building" at the end of Drew Street. We have the entire lot below city hall that has been a construction staging area that may be counted as well, not sure how many are there. also in close proximity is the county lot and garage on Court Street which is available to the public on weekends and holidays. Not sure how close they have to be to be counted as available, the county lot hardly ever gets used and it is right up the hill from the 46 spaces under the bridge. DO I have any criteria to meet on counting parking spaces (i.e. distance, competing uses) I deliberately stayed away from the Harbor view lot and the library lot so those were not double counted. Bill M - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 3:42 PM To: Clayton, Gina Cc: Morris, William D. Subject: Proposed City Downtown Boat Docks /Marina Gina - PROPOSAL: To my knowledge, the area under discussion for the proposed City downtown boat docks /marina is the area between 100 Pierce Street on the south and Drew Street on the north. Based on information from Bill Morris, approximately 138 boat slips are planned to be constructed. Commercial vessels are not planned to be moored, but there are plans to permit commercial vessels to pull in and pick up passengers for excursions, sightseeing, wedding boats, etc. There will be no fueling station. To the best of my recollection in my phone conversation with Mr. Morris, a new restroom facility is planned on the north end near Drew Street. CLEARWATER DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PLAN: Amenity Goal #3A (Page 51) states "Coachman Park shall be redeveloped and expanded as a waterfront park accessible to all residents and visitors containing active and passive open space, an improved regional outdoor entertainment venue and a marina." A Coachman Park Master Plan is included in this Plan (Page 205) and anticipates a marina to be constructed along the downtown waterfront. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the downtown marina in fiscal year 2006/2007 (Page 226). The Plan anticipates on Page 234 a "150 - 200 slip waterfront marina. The marina would be publicly -owned and operated accommodating both power and sail crafts with a mix of permanent and transient slips. A limited number of tourist related ferries and pleasure crafts would be allowed, however, commercial fishing operations would be prohibited." , ZONING CODE INFORMATION: With regard to the proposed City downtown boat docks /marina, the upland areas north and south of the Memorial Causeway are zoned Downtown (D) District and the water areas are zoned Preservation (P) District. In the Downtown District, the use of "Marinas /Marina Facilities" is listed as a Flexible Development use requiring Community Development Board (CDB) approval. Marina and Marina Facilities are defined in Section 8 -102 as: 0 0 "Marina means any structure constructed on pilings over open water or supported by flotation on the water which provides three or more boat slips for the purpose of sale or lease." "Marina facilities means a use of land involved in the operation of a marina including structures and activities normally integral to the operation of a marina, such as servicing, fueling, pumping -out, chartering, launching, and dry- storage of boats and boating equipment." In the Downtown District Table 2 -903, the height of "Marinas /Marina Facilities" is limited to a maximum of 30 feet (height is measured from base flood elevation) and parking is required to be provided at the rate of one parking space per slip. The Flexible Development criteria of Section 2 -903.H for "marina and marina facilities" are.: "H. Marina and marina facilities. 1. The parcel proposed for development is not located in areas identified in the Comprehensive Plan as areas of environmental significance including: a. The north end of Clearwater Beach; b. Clearwater Harbor grass beds; c. Cooper's Point; d. Clearwater Harbor spoil islands; e. Sand Key Park; f. The southern edge of Alligator Lake. 2. No commercial activities other than the mooring of boats on a rental basis shall be permitted on any parcel of land which is contiguous to a parcel of land which is designated as residential in the Zoning Atlas, unless the marina facilities are totally screened from view from the contiguous land which is designated as residential and the hours of operation of the commercial activities are limited to the time period between sunrise and sunset; and 3. The design of all buildings complies with the Downtown District design guidelines in Division 5 of Article 3. 4. All marina facilities shall comply with the commercial dock requirements set forth in Section 3- 601.C.3 and the marina and marina facilities requirements set forth in Section 3- 603." Section 3- 601.C.3 states: "3. Commercial docks. A commercial dock is any dock, pier, or wharf, including boatlifts, that is used in connection with a hotel, motel or restaurant where the slips are not rented, leased or sold; or such facilities used in connection with a social or fraternal club or organization and used only by its membership; or such facilities constructed and maintained by the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County or by any state or federal agency. Commercial docks shall only be permitted as a Level Two (flexible development) use, which requires approval by the community development board (CDB). Any multi -use dock with a deck area exceeding 500 square feet shall be treated as a commercial dock. All commercial docks shall be reviewed for compliance with the following criteria." The criteria of Sections 3- 601.C.3.a through 3- 601.C.3.h are not being listed here for brevity, as they are lengthy and technical. Section 3 -603, Marinas and Marina Facilities, states: 0 "Section 3 -603. Marinas and marina facilities. "A. All proposed activities including, but not limited to, fueling, pumping -out, chartering, living - aboard, launching, dry storage and the servicing of boats, motors and related marine equipment shall require approval in accordance with the provisions of the zoning district in which the marina or marina facility is proposed to be located. B. For marina facilities located adjacent to residential districts, no fueling or launching facilities shall be located within 20 feet of the residential property line, and no fueling or servicing of boats shall occur at such marinas after 9:00 p.m. or before 6:00 a.m. . C. No fuel storage facility or sanitary pump -out station holding tank shall be located over water. D. The marina shall pose no hazard or obstruction to navigation, as determined by the city harbormaster. E. The marina shall not adversely affect the environment, including both onshore and offshore natural resources. F. Adequate sanitary facilities shall be provided landside and a sanitary pump -out station shall be provided and shall be available to marina users 24 hours a day. G. A manatee protection plan shall be provided and appropriate speed zone signs shall be posted to control boat speed for manatee protection. H. Adequate spill containment areas shall be provided on the property. I. Design of the marina shall maintain existing tidal flushing and aquatic circulation patterns. J. In the event of conflict between these standards and federal or state law or rules, the federal or state law or rules shall apply to the extent that these standards have been preempted; otherwise, the more stringent regulations shall apply." CONCLUSIONS: No plans have been submitted at this point in time to ascertain compliance with any of the standards or criteria of the Code. The following conclusions are based on information provided either by email or phone conversation with Mr. Morris. 1. The use is a "marina" under the definition, as it is intended to lease the slips, with slip rental /lease priority given to City residents. 2. The use also appears to be "marina facilities" as commercial vessels would use the facilities to dock to load /unload passengers for excursions, sightseeing, wedding boats, etc., which may require additional parking for such. 3. Flexible Development (FLD) approval is required from the Community Development Board for "marina /marina facilities" in the Downtown (D) District, where compliance with the criteria of Section 2 -903.H is required. Deviations from any of these criteria will require the FLD be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project request. As part of the FLD approval, this is also a "commercial dock" (Section 3- 601.C.3), which also requires CDB approval, as these docks /marina will be "constructed and maintained by the City." Compliance with the criteria of Sections 3- 601.C.3.a through 3- 601.C.3.h is required. Specifically, the dimensional standards of Section 3- 601.C.3.h sets out the required minimum setbacks from property lines on the upland extended into the water and the maximum length and width of the docks. Deviations from these standards may be considered through the FLD process. 4. The area under consideration for the proposed City downtown boat docks /marina is not adjacent to residentially zoned property. 5. The height of any buildings to be constructed is limited to 30 feet (above base flood elevation). 6. The minimum required parking is one space per slip (138 parking spaces for 138 boat slips). Additional parking may be necessary for any marina facilities to dock to load /unload passengers for excursions, sightseeing, wedding boats, etc. Any reduction to the required parking would require the FLD application to be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project request and a parking study would need to be submitted that justifies the requested reduction to required parking.

Section 3 -603, Marinas and Marina Facilities, states: "Section 3 -603. Marinas and marina facilities. "A. All proposed activities including, but not limited to, fueling, pumping -out, chartering, living - aboard, launching, dry storage and the servicing of boats, motors and related marine equipment shall require approval in accordance with the provisions of the zoning district in which the marina or marina facility is proposed to be located. B. For marina facilities located adjacent to residential districts, no fueling or launching facilities shall be located within 20 feet of the residential property line, and no fueling or servicing of boats shall occur at such marinas after 9:00 p.m. or before 6:00 a.m. C. No fuel storage facility or sanitary pump -out station holding tank shall be located over water. D. The marina shall pose no hazard or obstruction to navigation, as determined by the city harbormaster. E. The marina shall not adversely affect the environment, including both onshore and offshore natural resources. F. Adequate sanitary facilities shall be provided landside and a sanitary pump -out station shall be provided and shall be available to marina users 24 hours a day. G. A manatee protection plan shall be provided and appropriate speed zone signs shall be posted to control boat speed for manatee protection. H. Adequate spill containment areas shall be provided on the property. I. Design of the marina shall maintain existing tidal flushing and aquatic circulation patterns. J. In the event of conflict between these standards and federal or state law or rules, the federal or state law or rules shall apply to the extent that these standards have been preempted; otherwise, the more stringent regulations shall apply." CONCLUSIONS: No plans have been submitted at this point in time to ascertain compliance with any of the standards or criteria of the Code. The following conclusions are based on information provided either by email or phone conversation with Mr. Morris. 1. The use is a "marina" under the definition, as it is intended to lease the slips, with slip rental /lease priority given to City residents. 2. The use also appears to be "marina facilities" as commercial vessels would use the facilities to dock to load /unload passengers for excursions, sightseeing, wedding boats, etc., which may require additional parking for such. 3. Flexible Development (FLD) approval is required from the Community Development Board for "marina /marina facilities" in the Downtown (D) District, where compliance with the criteria of Section 2 -903.1-1 is required. Deviations from any of these criteria will require.the FLD be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project request. As part of the FLD approval, this is also a "commercial dock" (Section 3- 601.C.3), which also requires CDB approval, as these docks /marina will be "constructed and maintained by the City." Compliance with the criteria of Sections 3- 601.C.3.a through 3- 601.C.3.h is required. Specifically, the dimensional standards of Section 3- 601.C.3.h sets out the required minimum setbacks from property lines on the upland extended into the water and the maximum length and width of the docks. Deviations from these standards may be considered through the FLD process. 4. The area under consideration for the proposed City downtown boat docks /marina is not adjacent to residentially zoned property. 5. The height of any buildings to be constructed is limited to 30 feet (above base flood elevation). 6. The minimum required parking is one space per slip (138 parking spaces for 138 boat slips). Additional parking may be necessary for any marina facilities to dock to load /unload passengers for excursions, sightseeing, wedding boats, etc. Any reduction to the required parking would require the FLD application to be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project request and a parking study would need to be submitted that justifies the requested reduction to required parking.
