CU96-46 (2)
a RECEIVED Response to the CU96 -46 Staff Report JUL 11 7003 July 11, 2003 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Dear CDB Members: CITY OF CLEARWATER As you review the CU96 -46 report, I would like you to question the following areas which I find to be inaccurate or misleading. When talking about the site history, Staff fails to mention that the previous board passed the conditional use by a vote of four to three, so there was definitely some reservations to allowing this shelter to be in this neighborhood. Also they fail to mention that the old board asked CHIP to look for an alternate location. Re: part 6 of the site history: I was a member of the Neighborhood Advisory Council. Only two meetings were ever held, both before the shelter even opened. The first of these meetings was basically a tour of the facility. After the tour, they asked us to be tutors for the CHIP clients. The way in which it was done really put us, of We were supposed to be giving them suggestions on how to work together with the neighborhood to make things better for everyone and they were clearly not interested at all in making things better for the neighborhood. Why have they not even had their clients clean up the streets that they are littering? It is not the neighborhood residents throwing beer bottles and cigarette butts all over the place. There has been no good will towards our neighborhood or our neighborhood council. The plan created by the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless is to remove ALL homeless facilities from the downtown area. Dr. Jannelli was present at that meeting and no mention was made of any support for keeping the CHIP Center. In the staff report section titled Trial Period Review, the staff claims that CHIP has a 93% success rate for single individuals completing the shelter programs. I am enclosing the figures given to me by the CHIP Center which show that the success rate is actually only 11% of those who start the program. Also note that CHIP has a day center. Therefore, when they claim that the problems the community is having are all due to the soup kitchen, they cannot possibly separate the people going to the day center from those going to the soup kitchen. In fact, these are the same individuals going to both facilities. Also_ in the Trial Period Review section, staff claims that "there are probably no locations within the City of Clearwater for a homeless shelter where alcoholic beverages could not be conveniently purchased." Give me a break. How many bars and package stores are there between Hercules and Belcher north of Drew and south of Sunset Point? How many are there in the industrial area of 49t` Street south of the bridge? Not many. At the very least, a homeless facility (which conducts AA meetings) in either of these locations would not be directly behind a bar. A homeless facility would also not border directly on a neighborhood at either of these locations. Ii At the very end of the Trial Review Period section staff states "based on updated crime statistics and property values, the existence of the CHIP shelter and police. substation (over the years they have been open) did not have a positive or negative impact on the surrounding area." If this is true, then they have failed. I am enclosing excerpts from the 1996 transcript of the Clearwater Planning and Zoning Board in which "Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets... He said if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be closed." Therefore, if crime has not decreased, then they have failed to meet the Chief's promise to the board and our neighborhood. Chief Klein further went on to say in an article in the Opinion section of the St. Pete Times to say "if we can't do this and do it right, then we should shut it down, and we will." As far as property values go, I am enclosing a complete list of the properties within 300 and 600 feet of the St. Vincent De Paul property. On the right is the total increase or decrease in Just Value over the past 12 years. Compare them to the following: I talked with Dick Pauk the director of property values for Pinellas County. He gave me the following list of percent change of taxable value in the City of Clearwater. 1997 -1998 4.4% increase 1998 -1999 4.0% increase 1999 -2000 6.4% increase 2000 -2001 9.4% increase 2001 -2002 7.4% increase Total increase = 31.60% increase over the past 5 years As you can see, our properties did not fare nearly so well on average. The Crime Statistics section of the staff report encapsulates an area which is entirely too small. Do you really believe the CHIP Day Center clients really stay within the perimeter given in the staff report all day and night? Certainly not. If you use their logic, then the transients going to the soup kitchen never cross the street to the package store on the other side of Cleveland. I am enclosing data I extrapolated from information provided to us by the Clearwater Police Department. I break down all crime by the entire city, our CRA and our grid as defined by the police department. September 116 certainly had an effect on crime in 2001. Below that I list the types of calls we would expect transients to be involved with. That is not to say all of these calls are related to the homeless or clients of CHIP. However, We are not looking at domestic abuse or assaults with firearms and other crimes which are unlikely to involve the homeless. I am also enclosing a copy of the total number of 911 calls to CHIP and the soup kitchen addresses. As you can see, the numbers have an upward trend. The issues listed above are the main problems I have with the staff report as a taxpayer and member of this neighborhood. Due to the late date of receiving the staff reports, I have not had time to look at FLD2003- 02010. I am also enclosing letters from neighbors, three of which moved out of this area due to the homeless situation, thus effecting our tax base in a negative manner. I believe this hearing should be postponed once again due to the lateness of the staff report and the lack of proper notice of the meeting. There are four times listed for the start of this hearing depending on your source of information. The original notice said 9:00am, the Clearwater website says 10:00am, the St. Pete Times says 2 :00pm and the actual time is 1:00pm as I found out by going in person to City Hall. The legal requirement is one week notice of the proper time. That has not been accomplished for the residents within 1000 feet. Sincerely, Paul Brian Schuh, VP Genie of Clearwater C�_rAA,�VAT%� C1. (Cont from 90195196) Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc. (St :ent de Paul Soup Kitchen and propoE SHIP Shelter) to permit (1) public safety facility- police substation; and (2) residential shelter at 9339, 1341 & 1346 Park St., Brookwood Terrace, Blk 6, part of Lots 1, 2, 9 -13 & N Y2 vacated street and Tagerelli Sub, Blk 2, Lots 2-4 and Overbrook Sub, Blk 6, Lots 7 -10 & unplatted land to the South, zoned CG (General Commercial). CU 96-46 This itern was continued to investigate an alternate lo-cation and obtain more information regarding density calculations. Mr. Shuford said staff researched four major issues raised at the last meeting, summarizing the results, as follows: 1) Zoning intensity -- The proposed mixed use of police substation and residential shelter saturates the allowable density so no future expansion is possible; 2) Property Value Impacts — A five year history of property values for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property, showed no clear indication the soup kitchen has had a significant negative impact; 3) Crime — Research showed a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of homeless centers in Orlando and Jacksonville; and 4) Comprehensiveness of Approach -- Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of locating shelters throughout the County to avoid overburdening any specific area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. Chief Klein responded to questions and discussion ensued regarding a single room occupancy program, funding for the proposed police substation, and how to ensure the substation will remain open once the three -year COPS grant expires. Discussion continued regarding shelter tenancy requirements, alternatives when capacity is reached, and the proposed client registration process. In response to a question, Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets. Discussion ensued regarding history of Chief Klein's involvement with the task force created to study this issue. Concern was expressed the proposal leaves no room for expansion to accommodate a clearly growing need. The applicant was strongly urged to consider another location where the surrounding uses and the zoning are more compatible with a homeless shelter. Brief discussion ensued regarding reasons for the crime rate decrease on a neighboring convenience store property. Chief Klein issued a final statement and responded to questions from the board. He felt a three year trial period is an acceptable compromise. He said, if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be closed. He reiterated the property owners have met or exceeded every standard for approval for conditional use of their land. Regarding proof the use will not be detrimental to assessed values, he noted no negative pattern exists, but he cannot predict the future. He discussed the crime rate, hours of operation, and shelter supervision. Police officers will staff the shelter during peak hours, and cover the streets where they are needed the rest of the time. He asked the board not to focus on what can be accomplished by six new officers, but how they will supplement the policing community on duty around the clock. In response to questions it was indicated a full review of the case would occur at the end of any trial period. Chief Klein said the three years' Federal funding is not contingent upon the officers, but is intended to build the shelter. a TIMES f'SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1995' CT OPI�!ION RECEIVED JUL 1 1 2003 PLANNING DEPARTMENT CiTY OF CLEARWATER DOEVIOH: Where do you go.from heie? .

MOTORIZED SCREEN DOORS "Serving your community since 1957" July 3, 2003 e Community Development Board RECEIVED 112 S Osceola St., 3" floor Clearwater, FL 33756 JUL I 1 2003 Esteemed Board Members, PLANNING DEPARTMENT CITY OF CLEARWATER I am writing this letter in opposition of the expansion of the CHIP campus on Park Street in Clearwater. I contend this area is already overburdened with homeless facilities. Genie of Clearwater has been in business for over 45 years and located at 1367 Park Street since 1977. Until the mid 90's when the Soup Kitchen and Chip Center moved into the neighborhood, this was a combination of peaceful residences and successful small businesses. Since the mid 90's, there has been a drastic change in our area. Property values have decreased, businesses have closed or moved out of the area, and homeowners are afraid to have their children play in their own yards. Another company I am involved in, E. Dexter Goodier and Assoc, maintained an office at 1357 Park Street from 1980 to 1996. We were broken into so many times in the 1990's I gave up calling the police. Eventually, it was no longer viable to maintain this property. We ended up selling the propb ty for $12,000. Our original purchase price was $50,000 in 1980. Clearly, the presence of the homeless has effected property values in the area. Most of the buildings along the Gulf to Bay corridor where it intersects with Cleveland Street still had business tenants in them when the CHIP center opened in 1997. Now these buildings are also starting to be vacated. Unless you intend to turn this area of Clearwater into a ghost town, we urge you to vote against the expansion of CHIP in this area. In 1996 when the Chip Center came before this Board they said that by putting a police substation at the Chip Center, crime would go down. It hasn't. We have had to put an alarm system on our building. We have had trucks broken into and tools stolen twice. I used to leave work after dark and feel safe but I don't anymore. My concern for the safety of my employees, our customers, myself and our business has increased since 1996 because homeless people are continually in the area, asking for money, asking to use our restroom, blocking (standing in ) our driveway and telling us that they have a right to be on our property. In the morning PINELLAS PASCO (727) 446 -0189 (727) 842 -3271 Lic. #C -6954 1367 PARK ST. • CLEARWATER, FL 33756 • FAx (727) 441 -9081 WEBSITE: www.genieofclearwater.com • E -MAIL: gofclw@tampabay.rr.com coming to work, I encounter them walking down the middle of the street. I honk, they look at me as if I am at fault and just keep walking down the road. There is a sidewalk but they prefer the street. Our customers coming to our showroom have complained about being approached for money and having problems driving down the street due to the homeless. This is not good for our business —or the community. The CHIP campus is not compatible with our area. Please do not allow CHIP to expand in this area. We do not want this to become a homeless mecca. We and our neighborhood have suffered enough! To help a few, Chip and the Soup Kitchen have jeopardized a whole community of taxpaying decent citizens who are trying to run a business and/or have a safe, peaceful home life. WHERE ARE OUR RIGHTS? I continue to read in the newspaper that the City of Clearwater wants to spend big dollars to rejuvenate downtown Clearwater, hoping it will draw more tourists and residence to that area. Don't bother. If you are traveling west on Gulf -to -Bay where it meets Cleveland Street just about any time of day, there are many homeless crossing the street and roaming the area. This is the entryway to downtown and will be their first impression of Clearwater – it will be a lasting one. The Soup Kitchen and Chip Center are too close to downtown Clearwater. How do you plan to keep the homeless out of the downtown area? You are building brand new condos between downtown and here. Expansion plans are clearly heading in this direction. If you allow CHIP to expand, you will be inviting more problems for downtown Clearwater. Sincerely, Mar y/0'/ Geni� Clearwater COIN OPERATED CAP? WASH SYSTFM'13 Community Deveiopment Board JUL 11 2003 112 South Osceola Street, 3rd Floor Clearwater, FL 33756 PLANNING DEPARTMENT CITY OF CLEARWATER To Whom It May Concern: As the owner of the self -serve car wash at 1365 Cleveland Street, I am very much opposed to the new shelter. I have experienced in the last few years of what goes on with the homeless, the shelter and soup kitchen. They go together. My business has suffered because of these people. They walk through my property and right to the wash bays and stop to ask for money from my customers. I have lost some of my lady customers as they are afraid of some of the seedy looking men and some women that come through. I am constantly being asked when I go to my car wash if they can wash my car and they do it to my customers also. This irritates all of them - men, women and me. They sleep on my front sign and I wonder why the police don't see them as they drive by several times a day. Besides that, they don't see the loitering either or ignore it. They sleep by the front door, which is next to the dollar bill changer so my customers can't get to it or they trip it so no one can get change, and therefore, the business falls off. That is what the changger is for, to accommodate my customers. They have ruined all the latches on all my vacuum cleaners and I am con- stantly buying new locks for them. When the vacs don't work, I lose business. The wall between the car wash and motel next door is a favorite, as they will sit there and drink.

Prior to celebrating our 40th anniversary, we made the heartwrenching decision to move out of the area we have called "home" for all those years. We had finally had enough of the physical and morale decline of the neighboorhood. We had to make the business decision to move to a better area in order for our business to again flourish. This was not an easy decision, as we own the building at 1454 Gulf to Bay and are now paying rent at our new location. The decline of the so called "Gateway to Clearwater " is no secret. We made every attenopt to discuss the plight of the neighborhood with the Chief of Police, the City Manager and various other city officials. All were sympathetic to our concerns, promised to find a way to improve the neighborhood, then were never heard from again. We have nothing but praise for the Clearwater police officers who work in our area. Officer Joseph Tenbieg and Officer T.J. O'Donnell have always been there when we called to report problems. We commend there for their fire service. Everyday we read in the St. Petersburg Times about the redevelopment of downtown Clearwater. The Commission wants to allocate tax dollars to pay for feasibility studies on the redevelopment, yet no one seems to care about the entrance to downtown. The problems started when St. Vincent de Paul opened the soup kitchen on Park Street, followed by the homeless shelter. Before long, day labor businesses up and down the street attracted the wrong element to our neighboorhood. We have had people urinating in the middle of our parking lot in the middle of the day. They used our building walls as a public bathroom Drunks would come into our shop part handling during business hours. Prostitutes would solicit our customers in our parking lot. The workers from Able Body day labor next door would use extreme and boisterous profanity in our parking lot during business hours when our customers were present. Every morning we would have to pick up broken bottles and beer cans strewn around our property. We experienced multiple breakins at our second floor apartment. Our shop van was stolen from our parking lot, and we found it damaged several days later right in the neighboorhood. Maybe the supporters of soup kitchens and day labor businesses should put them in their own neighborhhoods so they can experience the problems we have had to deal with. Reality is not just feeding the homeless, but how the presence of vagrants, drunks and prostitutes can affect the entire neighborhood. 07/01/2003 07:54 7274427'0? KYLES CLOCK SHOP PAGE 02 Since we moved to our new location at 2073 Drew Street, many of our customers have remarked how they did not feel safe conning to our Gulf to Bay location. We're hoping that we don't experience a decline in this area in the future. Clearwater used to be a safe place to live and conduct business. Not so any more. Are we going to sit back and watch businesses, such as ours, give up and move out? We tried our best to change things in our area, but to no avail. There is more to Clearwater than the beach and redeveloping down town. Attention and action must be taken to eliminate the problems in the gateway, as we were promised years ago by our elected city officials.

I am also a Registered assistant Appraiser with the State of Florida. My prior employer was Coldwell Banker Commercial NTRT, Cleamv ater FL. I left Coldwell Banker on Jan,31, 2003 and went to Re/ Max Realtec Group. I have been asked to write this letter in regards to 1323 Pierce St. (Coldsteam Condo's). I have recently sold 10 units within the complex during the last 8 months. Coldwell Banker. had these properties under property management with the owners of the uniLs. Last surnmer I had talked to the current owners about selling their units. I was amazed at. the reduction in value that the property had taken. The owners had purchased. their units from the developer for 55,000 60,000 back in the early 1980-s. When I did my CMA for the building and the surrounding area, It showed that the property had seen a decline in value. I find this hard to believe because the State had been seeing increasing values in property in general though the late 1990's through 2002. I had t-ied for 4 months to sell the units for 55,000 each. Of the 10 investors that I had shown the property to, none of them were willing to invest in the area because of the location to the soup kitchen. They all told me that the area could not support the prices. My listing prices of 55,000 per unit were based on area Comp's for Clearwater and the Dunedin area. Using and average price per unit sold per square foot. The Coldsteam building, is a 4 story concrete. bui !ding with the unit's sizes of 930 Square foot each. The complex has a condo association with average monthly fee's of 198.00 per month at the time of sale. All of my, sellers were out of state owners that wanted to sell their condo's to remove the headaches and reduce their losses from their investment. I was able to get contracts for purchase in the 33,000 to 43,000 range per unit. A majority of the sellers had to come to closing bringing crash in order to sell because of the loss of property gains. All of the sellers told me about their issues with the soup kitchen being placed so close to the property. They told me that they hired.'an attorney to help fight off the soup kitchen located. at it current location during the planning stages before it was approved by the City of Clearwater. I was not living in this area when all of this happened, but I have seen the results of the decision. The owners of property are not seeing upward value in there property do to EXTERNAL 4BSOLESAl'+CE. The property owners should not lose property value on there investments due to Governmental and or City policy actions. I understand that the needy people need a place to go to receive services that are the bases for life but at what cost to the surrounding area of owners of real property. Some people consider this area as blighted. Though this may not be the political correct temp it is perceived that way in the market place. Until the soup kitchen location is addressed, this area may well continue to decline or see very little increases in value compared to the rest of the county, If you have any questions about any of the statements mentioned above. Please feel free- to contact me directly at 727 - 459 -6744.

I purchased the property in 1992. At that time, I felt the property and neighborhood had potential for growth. However, the opposite happened. After the Soup Kitchen opened, I realized my future at 1421 was bleak. The neighborhood took a drastic turn for the worse. My clients and potential clients were hesitant to come to my office to do business because of the homeless and transient people that made the area appear unsafe. I had no other option. I moved my office in 1999. Any further expansion of the Soup Kitchen will be a huge blow to businesses and property owner in the area.

We must have some help with the vagrant situation around our property. The parade of bums, and drunks never quits. Men and women are constantly walking across our property, sleeping on the bus stop bench, camping under the trees on the sidewalk on Cleveland St. and Evergreen and being a complete nuisance. We have to clean up the beer bottles and trash every morning and many mornings we have to wash the urine and fecal material from our parking lot, cars, trees and even the fence. Every night we find people sleeping on our driveway, walkways and in our vehicles. Our customers are harassed constantly for money. How can the city approve such a situation. The Soup Kitchen feeds people and then provides no sanitary facilities. This is certainly not in keeping with city codes. Our property value has been diminished by at least 40% from what it would be without the neighborhood blight. Our customers are hesitant to stop and we have tried to sell the property but no one wants to be in this area because of the tramps. These people are not homeless-they are mostly drunks and don't want to work. If we didn't provide for them maybe they would get a job or at least move on to some place where businesses and residents are not trying to make a living. I resent our taxes being wasted on destroying our property. The Community Development Board should be the leader in improving our community. So, we are looking to you for help by eliminating this condition and having the Soup Kitchen move to an industrial area or down town by City Hall. Otherwise we are going to have to join other neighbors in a suit to recover our losses in business revenue and property value. Please send someone to inspect the area or we can furnish photos and videos. ...Sincerely, Fred Allen and Jim Knig Martin L.

First of all, the founding of the facility was passed by the City Commission in 1996 by a 4 -3 vote and was accepted, partly, based on testimony from Chief Klein that "if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease the shelter ... can be closed." Statistics clearly show that the crime rate in the area has not decreased. The decision was, also, based on conditions that have not been met: 1. "Approval shall be for a trial period of three years (firom 11- 05 -96), after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use." 2. "Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis." The facility is in violation of both of these conditions. Also, the housing of homeless in this area is questionable as to appropriateness. As a. property owner with multiple apartment buildings in this area I know firsthand that the crime, littering, loitering etc., that currently occurs in this dense residential area is extreme. T am constantly on the lookout for intrusions into my property at 1338 Pierce St., for example, where hornless occupants of the shelter who are breaking curfew have repeatedly used the fenced backyard to .gain access to the CHIPS facility undetected. Prior to rtry fencing the side accesses, I would find people sleeping in the back of my property repeatedly, despite clearly marked "no trespassing" signs. Mary Gephardt at the St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen has had to fence off. side stoop on the property adjoining mine to the North (no address on the door or mailbox), where homeless found that stoop especially tempting as an area to congregate, eat, drink, and leave litter, including multiple beer containers and used prophylactics. Tt is a sad commerxtary on our problems with the homeless that even a stoop must be fenced off in order to avoid constant trespassing and littering. Frankly, why this area for services to the homeless? X understand the need for such services and am not against the funding that a portion of my tax dollar provides in order to support those si,7vices. Two "graduates" of the shelter have been residents in one of my buildings for four years. However, this area is highly dense with a large percentage of young children, many of theist of Mexican heritage. Is it possible that, because this area tends to attract a mixture of lower middle and working class people of all races, including many of Mexican extraction, who are su uggling every day to make a living and pay their bills, that there is an attitude in D Martin L. er AVkYANkY �T ALT ATAT 212 Watsr View Court • Safety Harbor, Ft. 34695 • Telephone 727- 796.9573 - Fax 727798.7092 p.2 of 2 the City that this area is less powerful politically than more appropriate sites? Are we trying to educate our newest immigrants as to how to `'work," the welfare system as opposed to work a job? 1, for example, insist that my tenants and their guests place litter in proper receptacles. Do you think, it sets a good example when they view transients treating our streets like a garbage can? I hope not and don't wish to impugn anyone's motives, but maintaining this facility in the gateway to our downtown is, simply inappropriate. The CHIPS and St. Vincent' facilities botb no longer belong here. They constrains and set . back property values and, more important, attract a clientele, often from out of state, tthat has elements among it that can be a danger to the neighboring residents, especially the children, Those facilities should be moved. Build a new homeless facility and soup kitchen in an area, for example, &e the industrial area off Hercules, where residents and residential property owners will riot be subjected to problems and dangers, and the homeless will have an opportunity to secure jobs. As a humane society, we are obliged to help those less fortunate. However, proximity to downtown should not be a priority. Or, as an alternative, place these facilities next to City Hall, where a constant civil administrative and police presence will constrain negative activity. 'hank you for your time and attention.

Center)- vacant and 1411 Gulf to Bay Blvd. (two blocks east)- vacant. I have been severely impacted economically by the location of the C.H.I.P.S. Center and other homeless outreach services. 1343 Cleveland St. was purchased in the mid 1980's for $210,000.00 over $100,000.00 physical improvements were completed in 1989. The building is now accessed at $160,000.00. The building at 1411 was accessed in 2000 for $560,000.00 it is now $170,000,00. Both buildings are now vacant, have bad numerous tenants who's businesses have failed because of the severe impact of the C.H.I.P.S. Center and surrounding homeless activities. You now have an opportunity to stop the negative impact in this neighborhood, C.R.A., and the downtown area. The C.H.I.P.S. board, executive, and patrons have ignored continual warnings about expansion from the previous board. They ignored continued complaints from myself about the patrons and former patrons. Many planners suggest the exact opposite from what our city staff is saying. The homeless intervention programs, including shelters, will help promote and encourage economic development in such a fragile development plan(s) that Clearwater has attempted over the past twenty years. You must move the homeless and shelters out of the C.R.A. and downtown areas in order to insure positive economic growth. Statistics will clearly show a decrease in property values within 300 -500 feet of the C.H.I.P.S. campus setting. Statistics will show that crime has significantly increased in that ZONE or GRIND, which includes the C.R.A. and downtown. You must consider this area because of the continued homeless activities in the area i.e. Station Square, feeding at the police complex and tennis courts at bay front. Also, look at the number of vacant stores and properties within the C.R.A. and downtown, especially in the C.H.I.P.S. area. Many negative businesses have opened in the area since C.H.I.P.S. opened. • Gilbert G._)annelli, O.D. Optometrist Main Office: 909 S. Ft.

Individuals and organizations in past years have contributed their energy, compassion and resources to help find solutions and many have benefited from those efforts. Yet there are still important steps to be taken to raise our community's response to the next level. During 1998, 300 Homeless Action Plan (HAP) participants gathered from across the region to find • better way to address this issue. Their unique collaboration linked across jurisdictions, interests, and sectors • common purpose: develop a plan to identify, encourage and develop resources for homeless people and people of risk of being homeless. They would do this in conjunction with the local jurisdictional homeless planning. A HAP Steering Committee of community leaders was formed as well as nine Working Groups around the issues in homelessness: Affordable Housing, Basic Services, Domestic Violence, Employment Services, Family Services, HIV /AIDS, Mental Health, Resource Development, and Substance Abuse. The results of the HAP planning process were: 1 . Recommendation to create a new 501 (c)(3) organization to bring together the identified infrastructure needs for ongoing planning for homeless service delivery: regional collaboration, information sharing, and fundraising. 2. Convene an Implementation Team to organize the elements to get the new orgc^ization operational. 3. Slate of 16 priority projects, including those to be implemented in the short term, capital projects and systems /policy recommendations. 4. Identification of a funding need of $34.3 million to implement the projects and sustain them for five years. Recommendations coming from the HAP process included: Create o fiscal ;v accountoble entity. 2. Tie all homeless Diannlna together across the Atlanta region to create a regional comprehensive plan. Z. Create a sharea duty network for service efficiency and eliminate or minimize duplicative service delivery. 4. Position the me-ro Atlanta community to obtain more funding for local homeless programs by Tema ^s rotin;; rnnmon message qp" Prepared for, the Homeless Action Group and Central Atlanta Progress by the ABova k4w 4/25/2003 Main Office: 909 S.

Suite A New Port Richey, FL 34652 1- 813 - 849 -2112 It was a pleasure talking to you yesterday about C.H,I.P.S., .grants and police reports. All of us in the Save the Neighborhood Group are very disappointed that you are unwilling to discuss some common agreements about the continued future operation and possible future expansion of the C.H.I.P.'S. Center and problems with the Soup Kitchen. We are also disappointed that you refused to allow us to see the Grant paperwork associated with the expansion of C.H.I.P.'S. You saying that this wasn't for the general public to see has merit in helping us understand why you would not like to meet with staff and all concerned to work out a happy solution to this ongoing problem. Enclosed you will find some thoughts and ideas of a fabulous group in Atlanta, Ga. This is a possible concept that could be organized for the Tampa Bay area. The.; crime statistics that we are gathering should Delp the city in condemnation in rite C.R.A. to the future and continued evaluation of homelesness in Clearwater. Sincerely, Gilbert G. Jannelli.

ANALYSIS: This case was continued from the May 20, 2003 CDB meeting with limited discussion. Site Location: The site is 1.3 acres located on the south side of Park Street and on the north side of Pierce Street, approximately 700 feet west of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The Society of St. Vincent DePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc, owns the site and CHIPs leases the land from them for S1 /year. The Park Street frontage of the site is presently developed with a soup kitchen, a residential shelter and a police substation. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location and is not at issue with this application. The site also includes property on Pierce Street that contains a single- family dwelling and a 24 -space parking lot used by both the soup kitchen and CHIP /police facilities. Commercial uses are located to the north fronting on Cleveland Street and to the east along Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Residential uses are located generally south of .Park Street and west of Evergreen Avenue. Site History: The Planning and Zoning Board conducted the first review and public hearing at its October 15, 1996 meeting. There were four major issues discussed including zoning intensity, property value impacts, crime and comprehensiveness of approach regarding shelter locations. The review of this case was met with controversy by the surrounding property owners. The Board continued the case to the November 5, 1996, where public comments were taken. On November 5, 1996, the former Planning and Zoning Board approved Conditional Use CU96 -46 with the following seven conditions (the status of the conditions are provided in italics): The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing. Construction bids for the project came back higher than the fitnding base, requiring the applicant to request additional fi.inds from the City and County CDBG. Soil testing, excavation and filling took longer than anticipated. These delays affected the ability of the applicant to meet the deadlines imposed. Construction was not complete and the Certificate of Occupancy was not issued until late iWarch 1998. By memorandum dated October 27, 1997, Scott Shuford (former Planning Director) determined that compliance had been achieved, through the applicant's good faith efforts to comphy. �. jil site ii iit1 �h : i e e"lii e ;<< u t f n han z l the fig U 1 b y pp d +'1 90 degree cutoff f lec ism, �. th l.e light beinv C }ir tcied dll ll' l n i ;'.';;;�' r� , 7+ lnln0 1 tl 'll 'p 1l)e es 1 �I i rl i' -i lr �.A r;:. arc a: i a t �r a�,o re�!� c t! .. r rr r Z1 any rep vh i- d }'. 1Il r) c [o hcuer liiliillillate the Oeriilletcr of tic si[e `.l' 'Vi'•rlc!� it e?! i and the owner's representative to determine acceptable solutions to the lighting concerns. A dimmer street lamp was determined to be installed for the streetlight centered oil the southern parking lot to nairtin.i7e light projecting onto the thvellings on the south .side of Pierce Street. Lighting was added to the north side of the center, illuminating CHIP and e the perimeter of the lot abutting commercial properties. Compliance appeared to have been achieved in 1998 in accordance with this condition. Planning staff is unaware of anygS complaints regarding lighting since the facility opened. 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian �D traffic in surrounding residential areas. 9rAF Go 0 ker TrLV ,�(A"P T e applicant was unable to provide a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street along "6 w+45 AJCv- the east side of the northern portion of the property. The sidewalk would have had to 5H0VO -7� traverse a parcel owned b a third art requiring an easement or the sidewalk. Attempts off- NTH � P Y P Y, 9 g f p to obtain the easement were unsuccessful. Additionally, a sidewalk connection across the )?Ay canal to the west was reviewed; however, it was determined cost prohibitive as a bridge ��� *t'p-��,� j structure would be needed. Alternately, in lieu of the interconnection directly north to vj �,"o gn1ecE Cleveland Street, a sidewalk was constructed along the west side of South Evergreen nA� Avenue and the south side of Park Street. Signs were posted to direct pedestrians along the Lj*' P5 ; TojM'0! route, and were made available to property owners for posting on neighborhood fences_ LONY I ?'�S Wtjj,,>c�s Scott Shuford (prior Planning Director) deemed this alternative in compliance with the or J condition of approval. Some of these signs have disappeared over the years and should be onJB ire- erected to emphasize the pedestrian routes to the CHIP facility. Additionally, CHIP, at ` -OAS their expense, erected a six-foot high fence and gate (at the driveway) along the south side ,4)0 51 Z)a ELK au of Dr. Jannelli and the Idle Spur properties (north side of Park Street) to further direct lve1'-Tr4 Swc v pedestrian traffic to the sidewalk connection on South Evergreen Avenue and Park Street. ��t 7 �• The gate is not alway� closed (and locked) to reinforce the desired pedestrian tr tc ow. a b ceew ro �opsrz' j 7,b& U 1 AJ 'SS *4 54perrq of '1�Ad7'/�.oNS �G- �ROpor7iT y 4.

CHIP coordinates services among a broad spectrum of service providers and community resources seeking develop a continuum of care enabling those who choose to move from homelessness to self - sufficiency. The program is multi- faceted and aimed at assisting persons to confront . the barriers and reasons that have put them in the ranks of the homeless. As participants progress in the program, a more in depth plan is established to help him/her back into the mainstream of society. The CHIP center is a 24 -hour, seven day per week residential emergency shelter. It also operates a daytime outreach program from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. daily. 7!'� During this time period, any homeless person can go to CHIP for a shower, do laundry, make a *' ° phone call, receive mail, get clothing, receive mental health counseling, have a sandwich, and get help with their problemsicTNe&) c.-a-aVb w_>9F&"-re -& C.e,n6*- kvcSc &-"7X on, 07-.6 ;2 'r Case management and outside social service provider offices and a community - policing substation are included at the shelter site.

Each person staying at the shelter must commit to participation in the Homeless Intervention Program - an intensive case management model. The case manager conducts an initial intake assessment, wherein the specific needs and goals of the client are established. These goals determine the length of stay for the client. If employment has not been secured at entry, the client must pledge to obtain full -time employment within seven days, or show reasonable efforts in doing so. After the client is employed, s/he establishes a budget including a personal savings plan. The client's continued eligibility is based on the client's compliance with hisiher own established goals. y CC4W5 S Rq 7-6- o R cN 11---; / s /t &- /, d7D ON4.

The Downtown Plan has been expanded to include an area, called the cAuse a East Gateway District, one of the character districts. The East Gateway area was targeted in 2002 r,"/?CzM?VLas a Community Redevelopment "Expansion" Area, and the City Commission and Board of ,Lo-rNem County Commissioners approved the CRA expansion in late 2002. This area has-been t{oM6c,ess experiencing ra id deterioration and decline. An underlying commercial constraint is the 0 o-r 64-ex- ! P ��'��' ►�� inappropriate day labor offices which contribute to attracting homeless individuals to the IF vov �tT,wxs 7A&SC P,"Dvj NooWte neighborhood. The East Gateway District is envisioned to continue to be developed as a low and medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and ` professional offices. Commercial and office uses should be concentrated along the Cleveland yoL, w►, Street, Gulf -to -Bay Boulevard, Court Street and Missouri Avenue corridors. A key component of ulzr►16 the development strategy for the East Gateway District is the consolidation of the existing CHIP facilities into a "campus." This consolidation will address the emergency needs of the downtown A� homeless, and negate any future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the j neighborhood. The existing CHIP facility is consistent with the Downtown Plan Update. -THE Pot. iCe C-+/&- r Kc..EiN ►S'lityiw To auy 4T 4-"sT 4l -Cc APpj'ri.�,Ac. -Td Gl- P4"IDcHGPs, _r-41S IS YV9V&_X C nAsRrA� 117 S C/ �u�.�cw~r�sa 2cDCV, AWP Pinellas Countv Coalition for the Homeless: The Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless began in 1954 in an effort to support community agencies and organizations that serve the homeless in Pinellas County.

Based on this analysis, the overall impact of the CHIP residential shelter and the police substation on the surrounding mixed - ;' use area appears not to be non - detrimental. As noted in the Final Order from the State Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) issued Feb�aerrn26� 1997, most of the complaints of adverse �/tr impact are from t e operation of the soup kit hen, w is is not being debated here.

The Final Order from DOAH in February 1997 found that adverse impacts alleged were attributable to the operation of the soup kitchen, which has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The Final Order noted that the evidence showed, on the average within 1,000 feet of the subject property, there to be no trend of decreasing property value as a result of the soup kitchen at that time. The Final Order also noted that the presence of the soup kitchen, and those that use it. would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values.

The site is presently developed with two single - family dwellings. The site is located in a mixed -use area. Commercial uses are located to the north fronting on Cleveland Street and to the east along Gulf -to -Bay Boulevard. Residential uses are generally south of Park Street and west of Evergreen Avenue. The site is adjacent to property owned by the Society of St. Vincent DePaul of Upper- Pinellas County, Inc., developed with a soup kitchen, a residential shelter for emergency shelter (generally 16 days) run by the Clearwater- Homeless Intervention Program (CHIP) and a police substation. The soup kitchen is a permitted use, established in 1991. The CHIP residential shelter and the police substation were approved on November 5, 1996, under Conditional Use CU 96 -46. A re- review of that earlier approval is also scheduled for the July 15, 2003, Community Development Board meeting. /5 W D A "residential shelter" is defined by the Community Development Code as "a building or buildings or portions thereof, the use of which is for a nonprofit service providing a place of �ytemporary residence or sustenance to homeless or needy persons or families." The purpose of this 7 facility is to provide transitional housing for persons that were homeless for a period of time up to two years. The location adjacent to the existing CHIPs center and St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen will allow clients to continue to receive the services of the program, while gaining more independence. iyiduals in this facility are reouire to have The concept is to create a campus -like se na and to provide a wide range of services to improve the quality of life for this population.

The update of the Downtown Plan is scheduled for public hearing by the Community r-&a3uV6Development Board on July 15, 2003. The Downtown. Plan has been expanded to include an area, ovFKrrcAWalled the East Gateway District, one of the character districts. The East Gateway area was c_H t ys' targeted in 2002 as a Community Redevelopment "Expansion" Area, and the City Commission ,/L-P_6 ,T and Board of' County Commissioners approved the CRA expansion in late 2002. This area is rncl_uded 111 the Downtown Plan and has been experiencing rapid deterioration and dec rn--T e. An '¢ underlyI commercial constraint is the inaopropria e day labor offices which contribute o o� attracting homeless individuals to the neighborhood. The East Gateway District is envisioned to continue to be developed as a low and medium density sity residential neighborhood supported with T� neighborhood commercial and professional offices. Commercial and office uses should be C,,4 concentrated along the Cleveland Street, Gulf -to -Bay Boulevard, Court Street and Missouri'ezx—_� h' Avenue corridors. -key component of the development strategy for the East Gateway District is� <S e the consolidation o the existing CHIl' facilities into a "campus." This consolidation will address ers the emergency needs of the downtown homeless, and negate any future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the neighborhood.

This letter is notification to you of a "NO VOTE" for anymore increase in the amount of homeless units in this location. I oven the office building at 1275 - 1279 Cleveland street. We have had a constant problem with the homeless urinating on our building, sleeping under the shrubs in our gardens, having d.- inking parties across the street from the Fiba gas Station that sells them beer, and are "pan - handling" our patients for money. ?ply patient's are concerned about this foot traffic from morning to night and feel "unsafe" walking from the parking lot to the office building. The Police Department phone number is "posted" at our Front Desk for calling the police as this has become such a regular problem. Is this any way to have to operate a business on the `,main"' street? The value of my office building is affected by this traffic of homeless and drunks up and down Cleveland street and we reject the idea of adding more units to increase our problem by attracting more homeless. Why would you provide this type of facility and Service to the homeless in the "downtown" area of ClearwaterT Have a look at Central Ave in St.Petersburg where one has been for years, you can't tell me it has improved anything in the past 20 years there.

First of all. I am surprised at the extreme exceptions to currentt codes that are being* sought in order to create this facility. Setbacks, I assume, were codified For a reason. To change a setback: from 20 feet to 5 feet, for example, is extreme. Also, the expansion of housing for the homeless in this area is questionable as to appropriateness. As a property owner with multiple apartment buildings in this area I know firsthand that the littering, loitering etc, that. currently occurs in thus dense residential area is already extreme, I am constantly on the lookout for intrusions into my property at 1338 Pierce St., for eXanzple, where lion2el+�ss occupants of the shelter who are I)reaking curfew have repeatedly used the fer.Aced backyard to gain access to the CFFiPS fa.c:ility undetected. Prior to nay fencing the side accesses. !would find people sleeping is the l >ack Of my property repeatedly, despite clearly marked "no trespassing" signs. I have spoken to Mary Gephardt at the St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen repeatedly because of loitering on the property adjoitung mine to the North. (no address on the door or mailbox. ), where homeless find the side stoop especially tempting as an area. to congregate, eat, drink, and leave litter, includii multiple beer containers. Ms. (k!-Phardt, iz� Our last conversation, agreed to fence offcorttaineps somehow. To there as this has not letter. occurred and there are, again, multiple l�"er Frankly, why here for additional services to the homeless? I understand the need for such sel vices and am not against the funding that a portion of my tax dollar provides in order to stIpport those services. Two "graduates" of tl }.e shelter have been residents in Ov of nW buildings for four years. However, this area is highly dense with a Merge percentage of =young children, rainy of them of Mexican. heritage. is it possible that, b cause this area ands f I• attract ° tr extraction, lower n�icldle and working class people of all .races, including many who are struggling every day to make a living and pay their bills, that there is ar.. attitude in. the City that this area is less powerful politically than more appropriate sites? Are we hying to educate our newest immigrants as to how to "work" the welfare system as opposed to work a job? I, for example, insist that nay tenants and their guests place litt in proper receptacles. Do you think it sets a good cxatxiple tivhen they view trarisie:ats treating our streets like a garbage can? I hope not and don't wish to impugn anyone's motives, but expanding ill this area of dovm4o�vn is, simply ir,:�ppropxiate. The CIiIPS and St. Vincent' facilities themselves no longer belong here. •they coilSt2'ain property values and, inore important, attract a. clientele that has elements among it that can lie a danger to the neighboring; residents, especially the children.

Due to a prior out of town "eye" meeting I I would like to share with you some data and thoughts I have about the homeless crisis in downtown Clearwater. First, I encourage you to obtain the data on the homeless in.Pinellas County. It is shocking and quite disturbing! Are the numbers truly accurate? Are the numbers distorted to impress funding sources? Is the definition of homeless really accurate? I have enclosed recent police stats on the downtown area, which closely follows the C.R.A. boundaries which the city is trying desperately to help redevelop. Does this look like an area I would invest my money in for major redevelopment? Also enclosed are all the dollars being spent ow many by the city on homeless intervention over the past few years, this is stageS•sHHow many dollars homeless have been rehabilitated successfully through these various progr per head are being spent? Some suggestions and questions that should be answered: 1.) What are the total dollars being spent by public, private, and non profit agencies on the homeless in the city. he similar to many other cities. 2,) Clearwater adopting a non friendly homeless po y 3.) Contracting with other cities to feed, bathe, clothe, and attempt to rehabilitate this group of people, similar to what Key West is doing with Miami• s in Pinellas County 4.) Form a coalition made up of all homeless financial supporting groups to include all public, private, and non -profit groups to centralize the homeless problem. 5.) Pass land -use zoning changes that prevents homeless related services to locate in areas that will deteriorate business, property values, lifestyles and moral standards of our citizens, visitors, and tourists- Create a compound in mid county industrial park that is Sam's Club for the homeless. This could be located in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, or Manatee County. 6.) Eliminate all City of Clearwater financing to any homeless project. Many services are duplicated by other agencies. 7.) Close and relocate the Soup Kitchen and C.H.I.P. Center. You can't successfully all ow this group to thrive and expand in a commercial area that we are trying to redevelop. (Look at the crime stats.) Can you imagine this business next to Countryside mall? We continue to waste tax dollars with these unsuccessful programs. The more money we vptometrtst Main Office: 909 S.

How many of Clearwater's homeless advocates have taken a homeless person home to their house? The Smart family in Salt Lake City did. The proposal circulated by Reg Owens recently, doesn't work. The ideas are too costly, increase bureaucracy, and doesn't attack the real problem. , Clearwater has become the "Homeless User Friendly City ". Why? This committee should have the opportunity to drastically change the cities policy and plans on this issue. Sincerely, I Gilbert G. Jannelli O.D. P.S. The Jannelli's have owned and continued to own properties in the downtown and C.R.A. areas since 1955. E r." f . !. 7, i',O ,' � y! fir r . � _ 1, �, t f r'� r i' f. I Nr �1 --..I Lam!

Associated Press KEY WEST — City officials have devised a plan to rid this island' tourist spot of homeless: pay shelters and homeless outreach centers 150 miles north in Miami -Dade County to take them in. Last week, the city mailed out its proposal to a dozen centers in Miami -Dade. "The city of Key West would pay transportation of the unfortu- nate individuals who need emer- gency shelter to your location and pay you a daily fee for a set time," wrote John Jones, Key West's as- sistant city manager. The City Commission would have to approve the plan, if there were any takers. The Rev. Ronald Brummitt, di- rector of the 214 -bed Miami Res- cue Mission, said his facility might give the proposal some thought. . "They want them out of their back yard," Brummitt said. "If they want us to do services for them, there has to be dollars for that, but maybe we could work something out." Jones' proposal is one of several to control the homeless situation in Key West. For years city administrators have sought to prod out the home- less who gravitate south during the winter months and end up sleeping in mangroves, under bridges and in boats, panhandling tourists and overrunning city beaches. "Key West has few ,helle"S for unfortunates of any type and no emergency shelter," Jones said in the letter to Miami -Dade shelters. "There are no vacant areas on which for legal, environmental or safety reasons they can stay." A "homeless census" conduct- ed in April counted at least 2,151 people. in Monroe County, and about 861 who lived in Key West. A number of tent cities have sprouted along thick groves on Key West's ocean side and the perimeter of salt ponds next to the city's airport. There aren't any emergency shelters for homeless men in the Florida Keys, said the Rev. Steve Braddock, president and executive director of Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, a group that assists the homeless. Braddock's group operates a transitional facility in Key West that has about 100 beds for home- less men. Smaller facilit women, children and the c mentally disabled are sc throughout Monroe Count Jones said he is trying, t up public support for an er cy homeless shelter in Ke But it has been slow going that long ago priced out its class.

I assure you that it is the goal of the Clearwater Police Department to promote a safe and healthy environment for all citizens in Clearwater. In furtherance of this goal, the police department has partnered with other social agencies to provide a broad approach to the problem. As this is an ongoing endeavor, occasional modifications must be made in our approach. Currently, the Clearwater Police Department and the CHIP program are in the process of obtaining federal funding that will allow'for an increased officer presence in this area. The federal funding will also allow the CHIP program to provide more extensive assistance to these homeless individuals, which will facilitate their return to the mainstream of society. I'm sure you will support these efforts to help those less fortunate than us to become productive members of our society. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to address your concerns. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Lieutenant Donald Hall, District II Commander, at (727) 562 -4120.

You really - didn't address my concerns. How does federal tax dollars solve the Clearwater bums and homeless - population? Do Clearwater tax payers pick up the bill when your federal tax money runs out? Who compensates the business and property owners in the area for loss of revenue and property values? Does the federal tax payers package offer these solutions? I have been dealing regularly with the bums and homeless since I purchased the property at Garden and Cleveland Streets. You say "this is an ongoing endeavor and occasional modifications must be made in our approach," What does this mean? How many tax dollars are we willing to waste for your homeless population? How many tax dollars have been spent since 1983 in Clearwater to try and solve your "modifications" for the homeless? How -many of Your homeless have become productive Members of our society? For how long? For how much per head? Chief you can't mix oil and water. Many other communities have elected to adopt a- zero'tolerance and relocation programs for bums and homeless. out of their towns that have proven extremely successful. Please give me specific answers to my questions with factual data to back upIyour answers. Most of your officers are not interested in the homeless issue. Why have you assigned this task to Lt.

PO Box 358, Clearwater, FL 33757 vol. 1, no. 1 (7/04) Editor's note: We apologize to all of you who have wondered where we've been for the past six months ... and we thank you for wondering! Actually, a lot has been happening, starting with transition in the critical leadership position of executive director (see below). With the changes that growth inevitably brings comes delay, and we've been working very hard to juggle several very important projects — staffing, physical arrangements, the Parkbrooke opening (see p. 2), changes in funding availability, planning for this year's gala (see p. 3) etc. — without dropping any. We'll do our best to stay on track with future editions of CHIP Chat for you, though, so you will always know what's going on. We'd appreciate hearing from you with ideas, feedback, questions or whatever. Please feel free to contact us by phone (executive offices, Ed or Tami, 727 - 467 -4337) or fax (727- 467 -9597) or e-mail (chipbrant @tampabay.rr.com or chiptami @tampabay.rr.com). We'll get back to you as soon as we can. Welcome! As most of you know, we have a new executive director at CHIP. P. Edward Brant, better known as Ed has been CHIP's program director for quite a while, so he knows the program inside out. And as president of the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless (PCCH), he has an even wider appreciation and deeper knowledge of the issue of homelessness. But taking the reins from Carole L. Ciokiewicz, who guided CHIP for the past four years and decided to follow new paths when her contract ended, was :( not something to consider lightly. We asked Ed for his own perspective. "The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project has flourished over the past years because of the support of the board of directors, with Chief Sid Klein as president, and the guidance of its executive directors. First there was Terry Hammond, whose vision was of a program that would assist those individuals who were ,R homeless and provide for them an environment where they could be treated with respect and dignity. The CHIP Center was developed as a program where people could utilize a comprehensive day program to meet immediate needs and a shelter program where more intense case management could be found. "When Terry moved on, Carole L. Ciokiewicz took over and helped move CHIP toward being a company based upon good business practices while retaining the vision. She established a good base of grant support and financial stability. Through her diligence, CHIP was able (literally) to start building the next step of the program - transitional housing — as part of the overall CHIP campus design. "I am excited and proud to follow in the steps of these two people. The synergy that has been created will continue, making this program one that does not maintain homelessness but is a more dynamic part of our community, working to end homelessness through respect, responsibility and results. The staff and volunteers at the CHIP Center will continue to be an integral part of this process; I welcome you to get to know them and all that they do. "My thanks to everyone — officials, staffers, volunteers and sponsors — who help keep CHIP alive for our citizens." We also congratulate Tami Carlson, promoted to administrative assistant at the executive offices. with your help, we provide ................................................ ...............................

Carlisle Members: Kim Berfield, Joseph Huenke, Maj. Roy Johnson, Ron Joyce, Joanne Kavanagh, Carol Lowrey, Bob Pack, R. Carlton Ward, Glenn Warren .................................................. ............................... -We did it!!! On Tuesday, June 22, 2004, a brief — but long awaited — grand opening ceremony was held for the new, 8 -unit transitional housing apartment complex on the CHIP campus. Dignitaries and homeless alike joined in the celebration of a major milestone in CHIP's program. The CHIP graduates who will occupy these units for one to two years, starting the first week of July, had to meet very stiff requirements and will become role models for other clientele. Among other regulations, these 'renters' must donate one hour per week to the program in assigned roles of considerable responsibility and pay a program fee (like rent), one -half of which will go into their escrow accounts. We couldn't have accomplished this essential step on the road away from homelessness without the generosity of our many hundreds of donors and sponsors and the foresight and hard work of our dedicated leadership, staffers and ( volunteers. It seems so simple to say THANK YOU. EVERYONE — but it's from our hearts. \� Another victory was won on June 15 when CHIP obtained unanimous approval from the Community Development Board to add a build -out on the police substation portion of the CHIP center to accommodate 14 new beds. This new section will replace the 64 current deck and conference room that i I are not used and will make a difference. Ed's descriptions of real homeless clients who don't "fit the mold" of "bums with shopping carts who will work for food" turned the tide with the board members — way to go, Ed! And thanks to all others who spoke in support. I'LL NEED LOTS OF WILD CARDS" by Laurie Clement, USF's spring intern at CHIP Ed Brant's philosophy of the best way for interns from the social worker programs at local universities to learn about homelessness is to have them actually participate in the workload rather than assign them clerical tasks. Laurie Clement used a technique learned from a professor to process and interpret what she saw and felt at CHIP. Here's her story. "One day my professor walked in with a large box containing many different colored cards. Each card had the name of an emotion printed on it: anger, fear, happiness, confusion, sadness — and the wild cards, representing any other emotions. We were asked to take the cards that best reflected what we were feeling at our agencies and to take a quantity that best measured the intensity of our feelings. When m; turn came, I didn't hesitate: I chose several happiness cards and one confused card — then I grabbed a whole handful of wild cards. I knew they'd serve me best during a typical day at CHIP. "Every day at CHIP was filled with surprises and new adventures. My favorite part was doing intake on a new client, when I got to sit down face to face and learn about the person I heard stories of defeat and erection and stories of strength and determination. I looked into the eves of fear and helped wipe away tears of shame. I saw the face of gratitude and witnessed the smile of anew beginning. The clients moved at different paces and had different needs and goals, but they all needed help. "Every day I followed my clients' progress and saw them begin to turn their lives around, step by step. Every client is unique, and every experience I shared changed me. In learning about homelessness, I learned about myself. I used the happiness cards every day and the confused card sometimes; but the wild cards described the constant emotional ride. Thanks, CHIP." save the date - eln colt September 25, 20 Sept. 25!! be there or be square!! That's right, folks — last year was such a resounding success that we're doing it again —only better!

Please mark your calendar and join us for the grand opening ceremony for the Parkbrooke Square Apartment complex tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. The newly constructed apartment complex is located at 1353 -1357 Park Street, adjacent to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen. Mr. Stone advised that since the recent adoption of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan, a third city team will be organized. Currently, the city has internal teams focusing on problems in the North and South Greenwood sectors; the third team will spotlight the Gateway area. Additionally, Mr. Stone advised that in past years that area has been targeted with intensive policing and systematic code enforcement efforts. Additional resources will be added such as housing, economic and planning initiatives to adequately address Clearwater's commercial corridor. The Redevelopment Plan is available for review via the city's Internet site. Code Issues The director of Development Services, Jeff Kronschnabl, was introduced to discuss code issues in the CHIP neighborhood and what has been accomplished with the cooperation of the police officers assigned to the area. Mr. Kronschnabl presented a statistical overview of the area which is comprised of 489 parcels within the boundaries of Missouri Avenue to Highland Avenue and Court Street to Drew Street. Also, according to county records, 360 are residential parcels of which 109 have homestead exemptions - indicating that 170 are without the homestead exemption and in all probability are rental properties. On a general basis, rental properties have a tendency to not be as well maintained as homeowned- occupied parcels. Further, by a new ordinance titled "Residential Rental ", every rental property in the city is obligated to be registered with the City of Clearwater for the issuance of an occupational license. If the renter or investor in I CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes March 17, 2004 Page 3 the property does not maintain the property in accordance with city guidelines, there is a possibility that their license could be revoked. Since the ordinance has been in place, issues with irresponsible landlords have diminished. The ordinance has proven to be an effective tool in dealing with problematic properties. Mr. Kronschnabl added that his department is working closely with the Police Department to identify problem properties. He advised that in this particular zone, the ongoing code problem is abandoned vehicles. Also, a problem property on Betty Lane is scheduled for demolition. A Code Sweep (check for violations) was recently completed in the South Clearwater sector. Prior to a code sweep being done, a partnership is developed with the respective community to conduct a general cleanup. Once the cleanup is completed and visible debris is removed, follow up is conducted by volunteers who go door to door, on a block by block basis. Follow up on violation cases in the South Greenwood area is now complete and the next sweep, scheduled for later this year, will be conducted in the Gateway area. It was suggested that the landlord/ investor educational /guidelines /resource packet given at the time of application for the city's occupational license be translated to Spanish. The city's handout consisting of the ten most common code violations (i.e. abandoned vehicles, accumulation of debris, etc.) is currently available in Spanish. A copy of this handout can be obtained at the MSB Building, 100 S. Myrtle Avenue, 2nd floor, Development Services Division. Further, Mr. Kronschnabl advised the Development Services Department has two bilingual code officers to effectively communicate with Hispanic residents. Mr. Stone suggested that attendees discuss specific property code violations with Mr. Kronschnabl at the conclusion of the meeting. Mr. Stone introduced Neighborhood Services Manager Jan Smith and explained that after the designation of a city team for the Gateway area, Ms. Smith will be assigned the task of developing a three year short -term strategic action program. This will be completed in the form of a matrix and will list existing issues and problems, including the identification of problem violators . The concept includes Ms. Smith meeting with city staff on a bi- monthly basis to identify problems. Homeless Initiative Mr. Reg Owens, Director of Economic Development and chair for the city's Homeless Task Force, was introduced and provided an update concerning the Homeless Task Force charged with the development of a long -range plan for dealing with homelessness in both Clearwater and north county. In February, the task force planned to form a committee to look at a ten -year program in hopes of eradicating homelessness in Clearwater. This is a program that has been adopted by the U.S. CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes March 17, 2004 Page 4 Mayor's Council, wherein approximately fifteen large communities were charged to look at the homeless situation in an attempt to develop strategies to address all aspects of homelessness, and in particular the chronic homeless population who do not have a desire to be rehabilitated. The city has held the study in abeyance since Pinellas County recently sent out a Request for Proposal (RFP) to hire a consultant to address the same issues on a countywide basis. Also, the county is organizing a task force that will be meeting in April to address homelessness. Mr. Owens hopes to have a proposed draft to present to Mr. Horne by year end. Further, since the inception of a police patrol in the urban core, the problematic incidents, and those . associated with homelessness has significantly declined. In response to a question posed by Mr. Altner, Mr. Owens advised that the city is putting together a staff study group to concentrate on developing strategies to address the homeless issues on the Gulf -To -Bay and Highland gateway which has been expanded with the approval of the city's Redevelopment Plan. Continuing to respond to Mr. Altner, Mr Owens stated that city staff, charged with dealing with the homeless population, have a dilemma delineating the homeless individual who is receptive to assistance from those individuals that are hard core homeless. Mr. Owens stated that the city has adopted a stringent attitude toward homeless persons who refuse to help themselves and are not participating in some type of constructive rehabilitation programs. Further, Mr. Owens advised that the bottom line to eradicate homelessness in Clearwater is one of funding. It is recognized that homelessness is a countywide problem and, therefore, the county needs a mechanism that will generate upwards of $5 to $10 million per year, in some form of taxation, to adequately address the problem. The county has the regulatory ability to impose a tax program, and this is currently under consideration. Also, Mr. Owens confirmed that the establishment of a North Pinellas center remains a focal point. Mr. Altner commended the patrol officers who do a "great job" in monitoring the CHIP community. CHIP Program Report Program Director Ed Brant advised that he was recently elected Executive Director of CHIP due to the resignation of Carole Ciokiewicz who left to pursue employment with the University of South Florida. He reported that his staff is busy at CHIP, and that the shelter residents have been diligent in their pursuit to become better citizens. Mr. Brant thanked city officials, police personnel and residents in attendance for their assistance in non - homeless related matters, in accommodating the homeless who are open to improving their lifestyle, for the patience exhibited with those homeless individuals who refuse to change their lifestyle, and city staff ry CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes March 17, 2004 Page 5 for partnering with other organizations and attending meetings and discussions with residents to update them on the progress being made to relocate the homeless out of downtown/ residential Clearwater. In response to a question from Dr. Jannelli, Mr. Brant stated that statistics compiled by the county last year indicate that 2,300 homeless individuals in Pinellas County avail themselves of some form of rehabilitative services. Thus far, this year, the count is at 3,700. Clearwater has 30% of all homeless people in Pinellas County while downtown St. Petersburg has 47% of this population. For the last three years, Tarpon Springs has had a set number of 50 homeless individuals availing themselves of the Tarpon Soup Kitchen. Further, 80% of Clearwater's homeless population has been in the Clearwater area for one year or more. Twenty percent (20 %) of that percentage form the transient populace; one -half of whom travel back and forth between Clearwater and St. Petersburg. Mr. Marty Altner thanked Mr. Brant for his efforts toward improving the quality of life in the area and stated that he felt continued reinforcement of the laws and guidelines is the key to eliminating problematic issues. Mr. Brant exhibited pieces of art work created by one of the shelter residents which were found to be unique and professionally done. Police Department Update Mr. Stone discussed Chief Klein's effort to fund the recently organized downtown policing unit. This funding represented a one -time source of funds, approximating $300,000. It does not include positioning officers in an area larger than the downtown corridor. Mr. Stone introduced Chief Klein and requested that he update the attendees as to the current status of the police department in the budget process and the assignment of officers. Chief Klein recapped that at the conclusion of fiscal year 2002/2003, the police department was slated to lose grant funding for officer positions. It was through creative application of police department funds, a one -time source, sanctioned by the City Council, that the department was able to retain officers and establish a downtown police team for the current fiscal year. The team is comprised of one sergeant and five officers, assigned to the area from the Bayfront to Missouri Avenue and Drew Street to Druid Road. Chief Klein added that the CHIP police team, supervised by Sergeant Fisherkeller, closely coordinates with the recently organized team for the purpose of maintaining an accurate history of homeless persons. Additionally, Chief Klein advised that future plans include relocating the police substation from the CHIP shelter to allow for an increase in bed space. Chief Klein is currently working with Economic Development in this endeavor. Sites located CHIP Neighborhood Meccing - Minutes March 17, 2004 Page 6 within the downtown main corridor are being considered for relocation of the substation. Additional information will be forthcoming. Area Update Chief Klein introduced Sergeant Fisherkeller who proceeded to furnish the attendees with an overview of the day -to -day operations of the CHIP team. He advised that the officers work with code enforcement personnel in addressing problem sites. Also, the CHIP officers continue to work with the department's Vice Unit to eradicate drug and prostitution activity. Sergeant Fisherkeller advised that the officers assigned to his team work staggered hours, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., to ensure adequate coverage of the area. Dr. Jannelli reported that he finds the homeless sleeping on his property in the evening hours in violation of the appropriate signage. Also, that around dusk, between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., there is a tremendous amount of movement of homeless persons which result in individuals situating themselves on private property either to sleep or to look for food. Sergeant Fisherkeller advised that he will advise the appropriate officers working during that time frame to closely monitor the problem and that absent disorderly conduct, officers will request that homeless individuals not be permitted to loiter on any property. Additionally, Sergeant Fisherkeller requested that property owners contact the police department when they are witness to any violations. Area businesses who facilitate the homeless issue by providing shelter for them will be discouraged from doing so. St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen Ms. Mary Lou Guthart reported that the Soup Kitchen has not incurred any problems. Further, the regulations in place are being adhered to and when they are not, the individual is trespassed from the area. Ms. Guthart also reported that the lock on the back gate at the Soup Kitchen has been repaired. New Issues Dr. Jannelli suggested that the Solid Waste Department consider placing locks on the recycling bins to avoid the homeless rifling through them looking for a bed substitute. Mr. Stone said a similar discussion reference the containers in the N. Greenwood area has been discussed with Solid Waste personnel. Mr. Stone requested that Dr. Jannelli furnish Jan Smith, Neighborhood Services Manager, with the location of the containers for her to bring forward to the appropriate personnel at Solid Waste. Additional information will be forthcoming. CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes � March 17, 2004 Page 7 Mr. Stone advised that city staff would like to hear from residents at the next meeting concerning any suggestions or continual problems. Mr. Marty Altner commented that he supports the activation of the additional patrol team assigned to the downtown area and feels that there is no question but that with this extra police presence, problems have been corrected or kept to a minimum. Further, that since the inception of the general neighborhood meetings,, communication and cooperation between the city and area residents/ property owners has improved. He applauded the efforts of the area patrol officers. Additionally, Mr. Altner spoke on behalf of the community and requested that the city furnish Chief Klein with needed funding for officers in order to continue his efforts to improve the quality of life in the problem areas in Clearwater. Mr. Stone presented a future opportunity for neighborhood representatives to continue a closer dialogue with city staff. He suggested that prior to the development of a team and strategic plan to address the Gateway area, and possibly at the next general neighborhood meeting, a roundtable discussion between the neighborhood and city representatives be held to list area problems. This will be accomplished via a matrix and assigned to the appropriate department to address. This will be placed on the agenda to be prepared for the next neighborhood meeting. Examples of the plan instituted in the North and South Greenwood areas will be displayed. A brief discussion was held reference the city's General and Referendum Elections held in conjunction with the Presidential Preference Primary on Tuesday, March 9, 2004. Next Meeting The next quarterly meeting is scheduled to be held July 7, 2004 at 6:30 p.m., in the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen Chapel, 1329 Park Street.

Mr. Stone extended a welcome to attendees comprised of city staff and CHIP neighborhood representatives. ' MAJOR FUNDING SOURCES: City of Clearwater; City of Clearwater Community Development Block Grant funds; Pinellas County Social Action Grant funds; State of Florida Emergency Shelter Grant funds; private donations. CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes December 17, 2003 Page 2 Mr. Stone advised that the meeting would cover several issues to include code related items. Additionally, he added that area resident Pat Vaughn, accompanied by Development Services Director Jeff Kronschnabl, recently went on a tour of the CHIP area to address code infractions. Code Enforcement has active cases on all infractions noted. Also, Mr. Kronschnabl will be present at the next meeting scheduled on March 17, 2004 to present additional information. Parkbrooke Square Apartments Mr. Stone presented attendees with an overview of the meeting agenda and proceeded to introduce Mrs. Carole Ciokiewicz who presented the construction update on Parkbrooke Square Apartments, the transitional housing facility currently under construction. Ms. Ciokiewicz advised that Kalemeris Construction is the contractor and they are rapidly making progress. The anticipated completion date is Spring 2004. Additionally, the appropriate construction fence and signage has been placed at the construction site to deter job seekers, and the mobile medical van has been moved temporarily to allow entrance to the site. Homeless Initiative Mr. Reg Owens, Director of Economic Development and chair for the city's Homeless Task Force, was introduced and shared information concerning the Homeless Task Force developing a long -range plan for dealing with homelessness in both Clearwater and north county. Mr. Owens explained that the city's Homeless Task Force was created at the suggestion of City Manager William Horne. The progress made thus far this year includes new regulations at Station Square Park and also the creation of the Police Department's downtown patrol team to specifically provide a police presence in the downtown area. The task force is also exploring temporary as well as long -term options for a police substation on Cleveland Street. This will be linked to the Main Street Program which is working toward revitalization of downtown Clearwater. As part of the Homeless Task Force initiative, Mr. Owens and committee members have looked at what several other states and cities are doing about homelessness. At the previous U.S. Mayor's Conference, it was decided that cities across the United States shared attempts to collectively proceed with a ten -year plan to address the problems of homelessness. Ten of the largest cities in the country have already prepared a ten -year plan to address the problem areas. Beginning in January 2004, Clearwater's task force will draft a ten -year plan and hopefully complete it within the year. In terms of management's perspective on the homelessness situation; Clearwater city officials strongly support the CHIP program evidenced by the city providing the program with state and federal funds and drawing CHIP into Clearwater's homeless initiative. Additionally, the city strongly supports the i CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes December 17, 2003 Page 3 Homeless Emergency Project (HEP), operated by Mrs. Barbara Green, which provides more family and transitional housing accommodations than does CHIP at this point. It is felt that between these two controllable projects, Clearwater has taken major steps in the contribution toward a solution to the homeless problem in Pinellas County. It is a goal of the task force to include other communities and the county in efforts to fund an agreeably located north county homeless center. Plans for that complex are predominantly being driven by the need for a major inebriate center. Right now the sole inebriate center is Turning Point located in south Pinellas County. This past year, Turning Point was overwhelmed with over 3,500 clients while attempting to stay within the guidelines of an operating budget of less than $400,000. The need for an inebriate center cultivated the need for a North County complex. This complex could ultimately house family care and satellites of various social service agencies currently located in downtown Clearwater and St. Petersburg. It would afford care for the chronic homeless as well as the homeless individuals who are responsive to a change in lifestyle. The city's Homeless Task Force will look to partner with the county in the upcoming year to structure such a center. Public Defender Bob Dillinger is the chair for the county task force. Clearwater city officials have taken a stand that an inebriate center will not be located in Clearwater; homeless facilities will not be expanded within the city, and that the time has come to treat this need on a regional basis with regional funds. Mr. Owens advised that consideration will be given to a possible restaurant and gasoline tax following the guidelines of Miami Dade and Broward County. These taxes have raised upwards of $6 -7 million per year. However, since Pinellas is a home rule county; there are some legal impediments for Clearwater to develop and impose similar taxes. At best, it will come down to cooperative funding by all of the communities. Assistant City Manager Ralph Stone concurred with Mr. Owens' comments and speaking for City Manager William Horne emphasized that Mr. Dillinger is quite aware that city officials will not condone the construction of an inebriate facility in or around the Clearwater area and most certainly not in downtown Clearwater. Secondly, when those kinds of facilities are in place, it will allow Clearwater officers to take the hard core homeless off the street and transport them there. According to the Clearwater Police Department's legal advisor Rob Surette and Chief Klein, this cannot be done voluntarily at present as we do not have available shelter locations. At present, the city is controlling the feeding locations and taking individuals to other facilities to include the hospital, (the cost of which is absorbed by the health care facility). Additionally, Mr. Stone advised that we do not have funding in place and it will take time to sort that problem out. However, Mr. Stone stated that the city does have capital dollars to buy land to build on. CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes December 17, 2003 Page 4 Mr. Owens advised that if the north county center materializes, it will be the city's intention to see if St. Vincent de Paul would be open to moving to that site. Dr. Jannelli questioned if the city was possibly interested in a 15 to 20 acre track to house the facilities necessary to get the homeless off the streets. Mr. Owens replied that the group would be open to looking at that type of concept and that the major consideration is the operating cost which poses the largest problem. Dr. Jannelli asked if a regional facility is built in Pasco County, could Hillsborough and Pinellas counties take their homeless there. Mr. Owens replied that on a minature scale, this is what is planned for a north Pinellas center. It would be a center that would require a built -in voluntary transportation system and also an involuntary system. Recognizing the severity of the homeless situation, Mr. Owens stated that Hillsborough is just about to do what we are attempting. Mr. Altner asked what the total dollar amount is to -date for police time, hospital time, etc. to justify to the voters the possibility of a tax increase. Mr. Owens advised that this is part of the study that is currently being conducted, and that there are estimated figures available, however, he does not have the figures available at this time. Also the estimates would be from other cities, and not Clearwater. We do have an estimate of approximately $1.4 million to run a center. The more successful taxes that cities have used are the luxury taxes that in large are borne by visitors to the community, and not necessarily the residents. Mr. Owens advised that a conference telephone call was held several weeks ago with some of the individuals involved in the North County Task Force. In January, each community in north Pinellas County will be requested to designate a management individual to serve on the task force so that the cost factor discussion can begin. Solutions to the plight of the homeless will continue to be one of the major issues that Mr. Owens and his task force will continue to address. CHIP Program Report Program Director Ed Brant advised that the shelter is at 100% capacity for single individuals. The family room is now open since the family occupying the room has moved to an apartment at Everybody's Tabernacle. Ninety percent (90 %) of the shelter residents are employed at this time. Staff continues to work diligently to keep things moving along; several CHIP groups were out on a Saturday to assist with area cleanup. Shelter residents have been striving diligently to become better citizens in the neighborhood. N CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes ' December 17, 2003 Page 5 Chief Klein introduced District II Division Commander Lieutenant George Koder, as well as Sergeant Fisherkeller and his officers who are currently the Police Department's staff assigned to the CHIP shelter substation. Additionally, Chief Klein advised that a second downtown team of officers has been created and Sergeant T.J. Donnelly, an alumni of the current CHIP team, is in charge of the new team. The two teams will be working closely together; and it is hopeful that once they are operational, the Police Department will have a downtown base of operation on Cleveland Street. Computer systems will be synchronized so that an accurate tracking history of individuals can be obtained. Sergeant Fisherkeller discussed several issues that the officers noted in the CHIP neighborhood. There are several houses where the owners and /or residents are permitting the homeless to come on their properties; and this opens the door to giving some of the homeless individuals legitimacy to that area. The issues have been addressed with the appropriate owners. Sergeant Fisherkeller emphasized that as problems arise, to give him a call so that the problem can be addressed in a timely manner. Brian Schue advised that he is purchasing the property next to Genie of Clearwater and intends to erect a chain link fence across the back to close this area off as a potential meeting place for homeless individuals. Mr. Altner expressed concern about some of the tensions that exist between the area ethnic groups and would like to see it eased and not escalate with time. Additionally, he commented on broken windshields and other signs of potential gang activity in the area. Mr. Altner requested the continuation of police presence which will keep the problems noted to a minimum. Dr. Jannelli suggested the removal of the bench at the bus stop to eliminate individuals from congregating at the site. A letter was sent to the PSTA, however, Dr. Jannelli has not received a response. He requested assistance from Sergeant Fisherkeller's team to quell the prostitution and drug activity in this specific area. Sergeant Fisherkeller addressed the approach used for discouraging a homeless individual from entering /being on private property by advising that every situation is handled on an individual basis, and as such there is not a set standard operating procedure for such an incident. Absent disorderly conduct, officers will request that the individual(s) move on. Dr. Jannelli commented that the pedestrian signs for foot traffic are totally ineffectual. CHIP clientele continue to walk on private property with total disregard for signage. CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes December 17, 2003 Page 6 Property owners were encouraged to recommend that perspective tenants, new to the area, requesting information on area crime, etc. contact Lieutenant George Koder at (727) 562 -4120. Sergeant T.J. Donnelly was introduced to the group, and he advised that his home base will be west Missouri Avenue and his squad's focal point will center around businesses and quality of life, in an attempt to change the downtown environment to make it less attractive to the chronic homeless. Sergeant Donnelly alluded to the graffiti and potential ethnic problems and he advised that Officer Billy Farias, who is of Hispanic ancestry and fluent in the Spanish language will assist in resolving any unrest that may occur in the area. Sergeant Donnelly assured the attendees from the CHIP area that the police would be available to resolve problems, and if any are noted to report the problem to the Police Department. Also, Sergeant Donnelly advised that the bus bench problem was addressed with PSTA four years ago, and the transit authority decided not to move the benches. It will be re- addressed once again with the transit authority. Additional information will be forthcoming. Additionally, Sergeant Donnelly reiterated that commencing on December 29 additional police presence will be visible in the form of the additional downtown team comprised of one sergeant and five officers. Sergeant Donnelly reminded attendees that there is only so much an officer can do as homeless, in and of itself, is not a crime. For any trespass issues, attendees were requested to contact Sergeant Fisherkeller or Sergeant Donnelly through the Communications Center at 562 -4242. Reg Owens interjected the fact that the city did institute an affidavit program in the downtown area. There were actually over 50 businesses who participated with signatures and appropriate signage authorizing Clearwater police officers to act as their agent and issue trespass warnings as appropriate. This has not been done in the CHIP area, and Mr. Owens advised that he will look into this concept for the area. Sergeant Donnelly emphasized the importance of maintaining better lighting; good fencing and cutting back of shrubs. If requested, the police department can do an assessment of properties to better direct residents and landlords what can be done to eliminate groups congregating on various properties. Absentee landlords present a problem whereby it is difficult when attempting to cite individuals. Y CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes December 17, 2003 Page 7 Dr. Jannelli advised that Pasco County has a grant program in place whereby graffiti defendants are assigned to paint buildings as a part of their commitment to community service. Mr. Stone advised that at the close of fiscal year 2002/2003, federal funding for the neighborhood police team ran out. In the past year, the downtown plan was updated and expanded to include the Gateway area with homelessness being a main priority. Economic Development Director Reg Owens and Chief Klein, in conjunction with the Downtown Development Board, prevailed on the City Commission to figure out a way to continue to fund the downtown patrol team. City Manager Bill Horne was in agreement with the continuation of the team. Chief Klein followed up with a presentation to the City Commission who approved funding for the current fiscal year with the understanding that dollar amounts for future years will be included in the police department's budget. Since the update of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan, the city will soon start a program which has been successful in the N. Greenwood area; that is to create a team of all of the operating departments that are active in the neighborhood, (i.e. staff from Police Department, Housing Department, Sanitation, Parks & Recreation and Public Works) who will meet quarterly to develop an action program for the Gateway neighborhood. A problem property of the month will be brought to the table for discussion and resolution. Mr. Stone advised that on December 16, 2003, the County Commission approved the Redevelopment Plan which expanded the community redevelopment area east of Highland Avenue which now means that the taxes being paid for both city and county in this area revert back to a neighborhood reinvestment fund for a minimum of fifteen (15) years. Mary Lou Guthart commented about the homeless individuals she finds each morning sleeping in the doorway of the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, and added that there is no permanent solution to the problem. The downtown patrol will assist in an attempt to minimize and /or alleviate this situation. New Issues Chief Klein advised that there is a possible opportunity to obtain federal funding for the CHIP neighborhood. He explained that the Department of Homeland Security has been placing money into the anti - terrorism program throughout the country. There are currently three categories of grant funding available from this entity. Only one of those three areas is competitive and it is related to Citizen Corp. This could potentially establish a citizen corps, groups of citizens within neighborhoods that would focus on terrorism/ homeland security, thus, creating the potential to go CHIP Neighborhood Meeting - Minutes December 17, 2003 Page 8 forward with some innovative ideas utilizing federal dollars. Chief Klein added that a similar program was established in the 1980's. That citizens group is still in place today and that neighborhood has been turned around. It is Chief Klein's hope that this concept will generate interest from CHIP area residents and give them the opportunity to form citizen patrols and become actively involved working with Police Department staff to maintain their community. The premise that applies here is that the more visibility you have associated with the police, the less problems you will have as far as transients and vagrants are concerned. Additional information will be forthcoming. Former Clearwater Community Hospital Property Rezoning for this property was approved by the Community Development Board in November 2003. Ed Brant advised that asbestos abatement is currently being conducted on the property and that a new program has been approved for the property which will soon undergo complete demolition. There will be two phases of construction to establish four new buildings, renovating the southern portion for shelters and a soup kitchen. The next quarterly meeting is scheduled to be held March 17, 2004 starting at 6:30 p.m., in the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen Chapel. Flyers will be disseminated to area residents, businesses and city staff well in advance of the meeting date. To better direct the flyers, it was requested that all attendees note their names and addresses on the sign -in sheets provided.

Could you please include me in your distribution list for the meeting announcements, or if they are set for a day /time certain every quarter, please let me know of that day /time and the location of the meeting?

I believe that Mr Charles and selected property owners in the neighborhood will continue to highlight and complain about any code discrepancy they can find at CHIP and/or the Soup Kitchen. Therefore, the CHIP /Soup Kitchen staff should plan to keep their operations in compliance with all applicable rules. The sign issue is just one example. This gentlemen is working toward suing the city if he feels that we won't accomplish his goals. Thanks. Bill Horne From: Wells, Wayne Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 1:30 PM To: Ciokiewicz, Carole Cc: Tarapani, Cyndi; Fierce, Lisa; Gerlock, Frank; Klein, Sidney; Wilson, Denise A.; Haines, Angel; Espinosa, Nilda; Fox, Mary Jo Subject: Sign at CHIP /Soup Kitchen Carole - I spoke to Paul Charles this morning regarding the sign that has been posted /erected on the fence next to the gate to the parking lot on Pierce Street, directing individuals seeking the soup kitchen to use the Park Street entrance. His complaint relates to the size of the sign, whereby the neighborhood can read the sign from the right -of -way and then must explain the circumstances to their guests (what the sign relates to). I have spoken to Nilda Espinosa and Mary Jo Fox regarding this sign and have viewed a photo of the sign. Mary Jo estimates the sign to be 3 feet by 4 feet, or 12 square feet. The Sign Code in Section 3 -1805 permits "onsite directional" and "safety or warning" signs, not exceeding 4 square feet, without a permit. Is there any way that the sign could be revised to not exceed four square feet in area and convey the same information? I realize that we are getting mixed signals from the neighborhood (need a sign, as they don't want traffic through their residential neighborhood; but now the sign is too big and they don't want it to be read from the right -of -way). As I pointed out to Mr. Charles, these types of issues should be brought up at the neighborhood meetings that CHIP is having to deal with issues.

Facility, generally located at 1339, 1341 and 1345 Park Street and 1344 Pierce Street Dear Mr. Charles: Thank you for your letter regarding concerns at the St. Vincent DePaul facility and C.H.I.P. facility on Park Street. This letter is in response to your request. 1. The St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen'is located within property zoned Commercial District, where the use was a permitted use when established in 1991. The nonresidential off -street parking lot along Pierce Street was approved under Conditional Use CU96 -46 on November 5, 1996, in conjunction with the approval of the C.H.I.P. facility and the police substation. 2. The relocation of the soup kitchen may be addressed with Reginald Owens, Director of Economic Development (727- 562 - 4047). The Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless has proposed the concept of a North Pinellas County Centralized Facility to provide services to the homeless. 3. The issue of the gate was brought to the City's attention during the review and discussion of the Trial period review of a previous Conditional Use application (CU96 -46) for a residential shelter and police substation, as required under conditions of approval, by the Community Development Board (CDB) on July 15, 2003. A condition of approval by the CDB was "That CHIP organizations meet with neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis, not less than quarterly." Further dialog is encouraged with the C.H.I.P. organization and St. Vincent DePaul to resolve neighborhood issues. You may contact Carole Ciokiewicz of C.H.I.P. at 727 - 467 -4337. 4. The issue of the trial period review not being accomplished in 1999 as conditioned on the approval. of CU 96 -46 in 1996 was brought to our attention during the review of Case FLD2003 -02010 at 1353 -1357 Park Street. Once the City was made aware that this review had not been accomplished, it was scheduled for review by the CDB. BRIAN J. AUNGST, MAYOR- COMMISSIONER HOYT HAMILTON, VICE MAYOR - COMMISSIONER WHITNEY GRAY, COMMISSIONER FRANK HIBBARD, COMMISSIONER ® BILL JONSON, COMMISSIONER "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER" 51L September 15, 2003 Charles — Page 2 5. The City does not condone such parking of the mobile medical van on Pierce Street. The City can take action on items once the City has been made aware of the issue. Parking issues should be part of further discussions with the C.H.I.P. organization and St. Vincent DePaul to resolve neighborhood issues. You may contact Carole Ciokiewicz of C.H.I.P. at 727 -467- 4337. 6. See discussion under item 5 above. 7. Further discussion of neighborhood watch issues is encouraged with Police Chief Sid Klein (727- 562 - 4343). 8. An analysis of the prior conditions of approval was included in the Staff Report for the re- review of CU 96 -46 by the CDB on July 15, 2003, including how the conditions were met. Again, further .dialog with the C.H.I.P. organization and St. Vincent DePaul to resolve neighborhood issues, including continued compliance with conditions of approval, is encouraged. You may contact Carole Ciokiewicz of C.H.I.P. at 727 - 467 -4337. Thank you for expressing your concerns. Should you have any further concerns, feel free to contact Wayne M.

Thank you for your letter regarding concerns at the St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen. The St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen is located within property zoned Commercial District, where the use was a permitted use when established in 1991. "Soup kitchens" are not specifically listed in the Community Development Code's definition of "problematic use," which means "commercial retail and service uses, including but not limited to, day labor, tattoo parlors, body piercing, pawn shops, check cashing centers and blood plasma centers which are typically characterized by poorly maintained facilities, loitering and other indices of neighborhood deterioration or urban blight." The Conditional Use approved by the Community Development Board on July 15, 2003, was for the Trial Period Review of a previous Conditional Use application (CU96 -46) for a residential shelter and police substation. The St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen was a permitted use of the property. Thank you for expressing your concerns. Should you have any further concerns, feel free to contact Wayne M.

The original approval was granted by the Planning and Zoning Board on November 5, 1996, with six conditions. The staff report and supporting material submitted to the Community Development Board (Board) included a review of the conditions of approval. Information submitted to the Board also included an analysis of property values within the same 1,000 feet radius that was reviewed in 1996. We appreciate your concerns that you have listed. We encourage further discussion with Reginald Owens, Director of Economic Development (562- 4047), regarding homeless issues and the concept of a North Pinellas County centralized facility. This concept has been discussed by the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless. With regard to the number of beds at the C.H.I.P facility, the tops of the bunk beds were removed in mid - August to return the facility to the 48 beds originally included in the review of Case CU 96 -46. Should you have any further concerns, feel free to contact Wayne M. Wells, Senior Planner, at 562 -4504.

A. and ASSOCIA REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS - CONSULTANTS 28163 U.S. HIGHWAY 19 NORTH, SUITE 211 CLEARWATER, FL 33761 PHONE (727) 726 -9566 June 17, 2003 Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc C/O Gerald A. Figurski, Esquire 2435 U. S. Highway 19 North, Suite 350 Holiday, Florida 34691 P.O. Box 6161 CLEARWATER, FL 33758 FAx (727) 791 -0366 Re: Consulting assignment for the proposed Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. Dear Mr. Figurski, Pursuant to your request, we have studied the sales of properties located within an approximate one thousand foot radius of 1350 — 1354 Park Street. Please refer to the addenda for an illustration of the studied area. The properties within the boundary set by the one thousand foot radius consist mainly of single family and multi - family residential improvements. Commercial property uses were found along Cleveland Street, however only residential properties were considered in this assignment. This report is not an appraisal wherein an opinion of value is the main focus of the assignment. It is a real property consulting assignment which is defined under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as: "the act or process of developing an analysis, recommendation, or opinion to solve a problem, where an opinion of value is a component of the analysis leading to the assignment results" (conforms with Standard's Rule 4 and 5 of the USPAP). The report is presented in the same format as a restricted use appraisal report. Supporting documentation and additional data is contained within our office files. It should be clearly understood that this report is not an appraisal report but a study that would typically be a consulting assignment. This report may not be completely understood without additional data within our office files. Identity of the Client The client for this report is Mr. Gerald A. Figurski, Esquire who is the attorney representing Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. Intended Use of the Appraisal The intended use of this report is to assist the client in determining if any obsolescence exists within the studied area when paired to the sales in competing areas of Clearwater. APPRAISALS ❑ CONSULTANTS ❑ EXPERT WITNESS ❑ EMINENT DOMAIN APPRAISALS Property Location The studied area is a one thousand foot radius surrounding 1350 -1354 Park Street in the City of Clearwater, Florida. Property Rights Appraised The property rights or interest to be considered is the undivided fee simple interest as if free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, and /or encroachments unless otherwise provided for herein. Purpose of Assignment The purpose of the assignment is to estimate the per square foot values for the single family and multi - family properties within the radius of the aforementioned one thousand foot circle and pair these sales to similar properties located in competing neighborhoods outside the studied area. Type of Value The value reported and analyzed in this consulting assignment is market value. Definition of Market Value The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: buyer and seller are typically motivated; both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests; a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. The source of the market value definition is from USPAP, 2002 edition, pages 160 &161. Date of the studv The date of study is June 11, 2003. 2 N.A. CLARIZIO AND AssocmmS., INC. Scope of Work The scope of work performed in completing this assignment was extensive. The scope of the work included the following. Inspection and identification of the area defined by the one thousand foot radius. Research into physical and economic factors regarding properties in the market area as related to value. Extensive data research for single family and multi family residential properties. Comparison of properties within the study area with reasonably similar properties found in competing neighborhoods. It should be very clearly understood that this report is a consulting assignment and is considered as a work in progress. In no way should this report be construed as an appraisal report. The report is a study of sales within a specific area of Clearwater. Study Within this study we have researched the specific area defined by the client for sales of single family residences and small income producing properties from 1999 until the date of this report. Each sale considered was paired to the most comparable sale available outside the studied area. The sales within the studied area will be referred to as the control properties. The pairings outside the studied area will be referred to as the pairing sales. When identifying sales outside the studied area or pairing sales a number of criteria were considered including: Location Sale date Site size Improvement size Car storage Condition of the improvements Porches and Patios The most reliable of the pairings are as follows: N.A.

CLARMTO AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Conclusion Pairing number one is a pairing of two single family residences with the price per square foot of the control property being somewhat higher than the pairing sale. Pairing number two is also two single family residences with the sale within the studied area selling slightly less than the sale outside the study area. Pairing number three again were single family residences, the sales considered indicate a very narrow range. Pairing four are two small income producing properties with the control sale selling somewhat higher which maybe due to the porches and utilities on the control sale. Pairing five again a small income pairing in this pairing the control property sold at a slightly higher per square foot value which maybe attributable to site size. Within pairing six a small income pairing the control sale indicating a higher price per square foot than the pairing sale. Pairing seven is a single family pairing with the control sale being somewhat higher than the pairing sale. In pairing eight which is again a single family pairing, the control sale sold at a higher price per square foot than the pairing sale. The conclusion of this study is that we were not able to quantify any measurable obsolescence in the sales within the studied area. The studied area was paired to several competing areas within close proximity to the studied area. ktate Certified General Appraiser License number 0000202 8 Charles S.

Fierce, Lisa From: Ciokiewicz, Carole Sent: Monday, April 28, 2003 8:58 AM To: Fierce, Lisa Subject: RE: old chips plan I am continuing to research through files to document all of the informational meetings, output, etc. regarding Neighborhood Advisory Council and public in general. Will you be presenting this case at the CDB since Wayne will be getting married at that time? We did discuss Janelli's info request. Some of the items seem a bit "out there" but we are progressing on most fronts. The Chief has already pulled together crime statistics for the 500' radius over several years. The property appraiser information from Eco Dev may be a bit too general so Mr. Figurski is pursuing further information through the Property Appraiser's office. Nina Bandoni missed our meeting Friday because she is very sick with pneumonia. I hope that she is better very soon. We are putting together a "history" of CHIP and several other documents -- and plan to send that to you for distribution to the board. I understand Chief Klein has already sent you videos.

The meeting was called to order by the Acting Chair at 2:00 p.m. in City Haol� followed by the Invocation and Pledge Allegiance. Meeting procedures and the appeal,process were outlined. New member Douglas V ,.I ert was welcomed to the board. ,,,r�''' Minutes Approval -- October 15, 1996 Member Merriam requested clarification in the second paragraph on page four. Staff corrected the third sentence to read, " the police substation will not be bf�ilt without the shelter." mnuCentral Permitting Director Shuford re ueste tes review regarding conditions of approval in case CU 96 -53, for outdoor displays at Drew Sfreet and US 19. He said Dr. Jannelli requested clarification whether the board intended to allow ��vehicles sales, and whether the area of outdoor displays was to be restricted to the area under the can�ipy. Staff had understood approval was subject to the conditions as listed in the staff report, including the prohibition of vehicle sales. He stressed staff has no effective means of evaluating the request without an accurate site plan. Discussion ensued whether the minutes accurately reflect the b. rd's intent. By a show of hands, five members indid'aled they understood vehicle sales are not flowed without a new conditional use application o the Planning and Zoning Board. Two members who were not present at the last meeting absrained from voting. Meml,ar- Merriam moved to approve the minutes as submitted, subject to correction of the typographical error on page 4. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. C. Conditional Uses C1. (Cont. from 10/15/96) Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc. (St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and proposed CHIP Shelter) to permit (1) public safety facility - police substation; and (2) residential shelter at 1339, 1341 & 1345 Park St., Brookwood Terrace, Blk 6, part of Lots 1, 2, 9 -13 & n' /a vacated street and Tagerelli Sub, Blk 2, Lots 2 -4 and Overbrook Sub, Blk 6, Lots 7 -10 & unplatted land to the South, zoned CG (General Commercial).

WinWord Document: PLANNINI(I AND ZONING BOARD Page 3 of 13 This item. was continued to investigate an alternate location and obtain more information regarding d7.isity calculations. Mr. Shuford said staff researched four major issues raised at the last meeting, summarizing the results, as follows: 1) Zoning Intensity -- The proposed mixed use of police substation and residential shelter saturates the allowable density so no future expansion is possible; 2) Property Value Impacts -- A five year history of property values for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property, showed no clear indication the soup kitchen has had a significant negative impact; 3) Crime -- Research showed a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of homeless centers in Orlando and Jacksonville; and 4) Comprehensiveness of Approach -- Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of locating shelters throughout the County to avoid overburdening any specific area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. Due to the controversial nature of the case, a question was raised whether members absent from the previous hearing may vote on the request today. Ms. Dougall -Sides responded absence would not prohibit a member from voting as long as the member was provided opportunity to review the minutes and background information packet. Because the public portion of the hearing had been closed prior to continuance, a question was raised whether the board wished to reopen the hearing to public comment, or receive the requested responses from the applicant alone. Member Mazur moved to reopen Case CU 96 -46 for public comments. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein spoke on behalf of the Cal Clearwater ► ! Homeless ► 4 Intervention ► ! Project ► M. He expressed concern regarding two issues he wished to note for the record. He stated Member Bickerstaffe's comment at the previous hearing, referring to homeless persons as muscle -bound gorillas, clearly shows a bias. Chief Klein submitted a document reflecting Mr. Bickerstaffe's involvement as a consultant to Clearwater Flying Corporation, owned by Dr. Gilbert Jannelli, one of the property owners contesting the conditional use application. Chief Klein felt such an association constitutes an ethical conflict of interest and asked Mr. Bickerstaffe to recuse himself from voting on this issue. Ms. Dougall- Sides indicated, based on the facts heard today, she did not consider this matter a legal conflict of interest under Florida Statutes. Member Bickerstaffe responded his comments were directed at seasonal street people who choose not to work, but travel here every winter to "vacation" in Florida's mild weather at taxpayers' expense. He said he intended no antagonism and felt the community should help full time residents who need assistance. He declined to recuse himself from voting. Referring to the document submitted with the staff report, Chief Klein reiterated the issues and conclusions as reported by Mr. Shuford. He said downtown Clearwater has experienced a significant decrease in crime due to measures taken at the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen. CHIP has worked with Pinellas County comprehensively for three years to follow a planned five -year strategy to locate shelters throughout the County. He stressed the proposed shelter will be strictly tailored to provide homeless intervention. The proposal meets or exceeds the standards for approval of a conditional use and is a good start toward improving conditions existing around the soup kitchen. This shelter is the planned replacement for a temporary shelter that has operated without complaint since it was approved by the board. He asked the board to focus on the need for the shelter. Chief Klein responded to questions and discussion ensued regarding a single room occupancy program, funding for the proposed police substation, and how to ensure the substation will remain open once the three -year COPS grant expires. Discussion continued regarding shelter tenancy requirements, alternatives when capacity is reached, and the proposed client registration process. In response to a question, Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets. Discussion ensued yU !� �� �e {�'7 �UZ%l.�° � " tL(t�lU~ Cs 7 i�✓' htt ://l99.227.233.29/ISYS ue /IRL5F54.tm /33 /doc to � S 14/20 �3 P Q ry P WinWord Document: PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD Page 4 of 13 regardig history of Chief Klein's involvement with the task force created to study this issue. Concern was expressed the proposal leaves no room for expansion to accommodate a clearly growing need. The applicant was strongly urged to consider another location where the surrounding uses and the zoning are more compatible with a homeless shelter. Brief discussion ensued regarding reasons for the crime rate decrease on a neighboring convenience store property. One person spoke in support of the application, stating the focus has been steered away from the real issue. The shelter is not the problem, but the solution to the problem caused by soup kitchen visitors. Putting a shelter a mile or two away from the soup kitchen will not solve existing problems in the residential and commercial areas. One letter from the soup kitchen President was submitted in support, citing additional details about the proposed shelter. Fifteen persons spoke in opposition to the application, reiterating many concerns expressed at the previous hearing regarding the adverse impact on the business and residential community. Additional concerns were cited as follows: 1) a financiabinstitution has delayed financing a local property purchase 4• pending the decision in this case; 2) fears of life endangerment; 3) difficulty selling tourist related businesses; 4) business vehicle trespass, vandalism, and fears of robbery; 5) transients bypassing the registration process; 6) trespassers, illegal activities, and personal belongings hidden in bushes on nearby residential properties endangering the health safety and welfare of neighborhood children; 7) request for more complete statistics regarding declining property values and numbers of people fed during the winter; 8) an organizational effort may be underway to relocate the soup kitchen; 9) request for a three year trial period, if approved, to ensure the police substation remains after grant funding runs out; 10) sufficient appropriate use exists on the subject and surrounding properties; 11) frequency and numbers of soup kitchen meals served to more than 180 people daily; 12) actual versus assessed property values; 13) property owners cease to report crimes experienced frequently and/or repeatedly over a long period of time, affecting accuracy of the police calls reports; 14) problems have quadrupled since the soup kitchen opened; 15) more homeless people will come to the area if they know they may find a place to sleep; 16) insufficient parking, vehicular and pedestrian access; 17) many street people choose to be homeless and are creating another welfare generation; 18) proposed shelter zoning and the inappropriate location next door to a bar; 19) Chief Klein may have a financial conflict of interest because he stands to get more police officers; 20) seniors must board up windows to feel safe in their homes and are not able to sell their businesses and retire; and 21) a central approach would better contain the objectionable behaviors. Nine letters, two handouts and two petitions containing approximately 38 signatures, were submitted in opposition to the request, restating the above concerns. One photograph was submitted showing debris, bedding, and waste on a sidewalk outside a commercial property. An Associated Press newspaper article reported Justice Department grants funded many additional Florida police officers who only appear on paper. One supporter spoke in rebuttal, stating not all of the 180 people fed daily at the soup kitchen are homeless. He reiterated the shelter and the police substation are the solutions, not the problems. Six objectors spoke in rebuttal, restating many earlier concerns plus the following: 1) problems persist despite frequent police visits to the soup kitchen; 2) The location is not appropriate and 48 beds are not sufficient; 3) Reverse discrimination is being practiced against the taxpayers; and 4) funding is not in place to continue the operation after the first three years. Chief Klein issued a final statement and responded to questions from the board. He felt a three year trial period is an acceptable compromise. He said, if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be closed. He reiterated the property owners have met or exceeded every standard for approval for conditional use of their land. Regarding proof the use will not be detrimental to assessed values, he noted no negative pattern exists, but he cannot predict http: // 199. 227. 233. 29 /ISYSquery/IRL5F54.tmp /33 /doc 4/14/2003 WinWord Document: PLANNT"TG AND ZONING BOARD Page 5 of 13 the future. He discussed the crime rate, hours of operation, and shelter supervision. Police officers will staff the shelter during peak hours, and cover the streets where they are needed the rest of the time. He asked the board not to focus on what can be accomplished by six new officers, but how they will supplement the policing community on duty around the clock. In response to questions it was indicated a full review of the case would occur at the end of any trial period. Chief Klein said the three years' Federal funding is not contingent upon the officers, but is intended to build the shelter. Public discussion was closed and board discussion ensued. One member said the issue is not the combined use, but how the proposed use will impact surrounding property. The property owner has met the burden of showing the impact on surroundings and the potential benefit to the community. The shelter would be making a huge commitment by risking their operation on a three year trial period. One member suggested more perimeter lighting, no trespassing signs, a public relations committee to ease tensions with neighbors, and adequate sidewalk lighting. If one person gets a fresh start from the facility, the project will be worthwhile because how we deal with our homeless is important. One member said voting against the proposal would leave the area as it is, while voting in favor would increase police presence in the area. One member said the decision must be based on whether the applicant has shown the standards of approval are met. The applicant has not shown the use will have no detrimental effect, or that a benefit will result. A question was raised regarding how the property value percentages are obtained and whether the numbers are accurate, if property owners give up reporting crimes after a while. One member said surrounding property owners should not be asked to set aside their potential for increase in favor of people who contribute nothing to the community. The proposal has not had sufficient long range planning, the site is too small, and the use is not compatible with surrounding uses. The existing police force can and should take care of the existing problem without a shelter. One member said the applicant has met the burden of proof and called for a motion. The organizations involved have a lifelong commitment to dealing with the homeless issue and, with proper oversight, will be able to make a positive impact. One member said it is difficult to vote because of acquaintance with Chief Klein and many homeless people. Concern was expressed a banker was withholding financing pending a decision on the shelter. Reference was made to a nightclub in Momingside the City had to purchase and close because it was a nuisance to the adjacent residential community. Concerns were expressed with accepting a Federal grant and subjecting the neighborhood to a project that the City might have to purchase after three years. It was suggested to consider building a police substation alone. General discussion ensued regarding the issues. Mr. Shuford said staff s research indicated crime goes down when a comprehensive approach is taken. Since crime and property devaluation are linked, logic would indicate going forward .with the plan would not substantially negatively impact surrounding property values. One member felt it likely the shelter and police presence will alleviate crime enough to encourage -an upward trend in property values. Another member did not agree and was not willing to risk someone else's property values based on the assumption fencing will solve the problem. It was felt the fears and concerns expressed by the majority of those speaking in opposition are valid and should be considered, unless it is clear benefits exist of which surrounding property owners are unaware. One http: // 199. 227. 233. 29 /ISYSquery/IRL5F54.tmp /33 /doc 4/14/2003 WinWord Document: PLANNT "T J AND ZONING BOARD Page 6 of 13 member pointed out the complaints were associated with the soup kitchen operation. The board has no way to judge the proposed facility because it has no history in the community. One member said those who created the mess shown in the photograph are hard core homeless people who are not seeking public help and are not likely to sign up for rehabilitation or detoxification programs. Those who want assistance traditionally seek help from existing supporting agencies, like churches, for temporary lodgings or food. It was indicated many more than 48 people are in need of help and concern was expressed with attracting more people than can be accommodated. It was felt the registration procedure and rules of behavior will be sufficiently strict to discourage any who do not wish to improve Member Kunnen moved to tem C1, CU 96 -46, subject to meeting all the standards for approval plus the following 1) The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy an occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2) All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90° cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3) A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4) The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5) Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use; 6) Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis; and 7) Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Some felt fencing is needed to restrict pedestrian access through residential areas. Others felt fencing provides hiding places for criminals. The majority of the board did not support a condition to provide 24 -hour on -site security personnel at the shelter. Concern was expressed the supporters are grasping at a solution and misapplying it. It was indicated conditions are intended to mitigate any adverse effects that might occur, which is not possible due to the human element in this case. The motion was duly seconded. Members Merriam, Baron, Kunnen, and Hilkert voted "Aye "; Members Nixon, Mazur, and Bickerstaffe, voted "Nay." Motion carried. The meeting recessed from 5:17 to 5:30 p.m. C2.

Since incorporation and 501(c)3 status, CHIP has obtained funding from Clearwater CDBG programs, PILOT funding from the Clearwater Housing Authority through the City of Clearwater, City of Clearwater budget appropriations, Pinellas County CDBG programs, Pinellas County ESG programs, Pinellas County Social Action programs, State of Florida ESG programs, Florida Legislative appropriations and private contributions /donations. These funds have been utilized to build and operate the shelter and its programs. Through the various grant monitoring for most of these funds, there have been no significant negative findings. All funding has been managed and accounted for according to generally accepted financial principles. CHIP is governed by a Board of Directors which is chaired by Police Chief Sid Klein. Clearwater Housing Authority Executive Director Jacqueline Rivera is the vice - chair, with St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen Executive Director Mary Lou Guthart as secretary and Steve Carlisle as treasurer. A complete copy of the Board of Directors and Advisory Board membership is attached. CHIP has as its mission the task of intervening in all issues that surround homelessness in Clearwater and Upper Pinellas County. In its broader role, CHIP coordinates services among a broad spectrum of service providers and community resources seeking to develop a continuum of care enabling those who choose to move from homelessness to self- sufficiency. The CHIP center is a 24hour, 7 days per week residential emergency shelter. The CHIP center also operates a daytime outreach program from 9 AM to 2 PM each day. During this time period, any homeless person can come to CHIP for a shower, to do laundry, to make a phone call, to receive mail, to get clothing, to receive mental health counseling, to have a sandwich, and to get help with their problems. CHIP has funded construction of the shelter center through CDBG grants from both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County, as well as through private donations and contributions by partners. Case management and outside social service provider offices and a community policing substation are included at the shelter site. There is a client kitchenette facility with refrigerator and microwave where shelter clients may prepare their own meals if they work odd hours. A small clothing bank, individual personal items storage cubicles, laundry facilities, message center, and mail service are all available for the shelter residents, as well as the outreach program clients. A conference and training room is available for AA, resident meetings, and employment training. Over the past year, CHIP served over 1,770 unduplicated clients in both the overnight and daytime outreach programs. The average shelter stay is 16 days. Each person staying at the shelter must commit to participation in the Homeless Intervention Program -- an intensive case management model. The case manager conducts an initial intake assessment, wherein the specific needs and goals of the client are established. If is these specific personal goals that determine the length of stay for the client. If employment has not been secured at entry, the client must pledge to obtain full time employment within seven days, or show reasonable efforts in doing so. After the client is employed, he /she establishes a budget including a personal savings plan. The client's continued eligibility is based on the client's compliance with his /her own established goals -- from economic to psychosocial. Through a contractual arrangement, the CHIP program is staffed by The Salvation Army. Its Homeless Intervention Program Director is responsible for admissions, problem resolution and coordination of social services to the participants. Additionally, Directions for Mental Health provides a case manager with a background in addictions and mental health counseling during the daytime outreach hours. The programs for the shelter are based upon a continuum of care model with intensive case management. This program is multi - faceted and aimed at assisting persons to confront the barriers and reasons that have put them in the ranks of the homeless. Participants in the program can move within the various components as needed. In each component, the client is given the opportunity to have immediate physical, mental, and financial problems addressed on a case -by -case basis.

Largo, FL 33773 Phone 531 -0451 Fax 536 -9014 Revised 04/15/03 City of Clearwater's Involvement In Homelessness Issues During the early 1990's, Clearwater began receiving increased numbers of complaints concerning homelessness issues — people sleeping on private property, petty thefts, public urination /defecation, public drunkenness, panhandling /solicitation. Complaints about chronic inebriates and homeless persons suffering from alcohol abuse became a daily occurrence in Clearwater. Homeless "camps" sprang up in any undeveloped areas -- especially in pockets close to the downtown section of Clearwater. Vandalism, panhandling, loitering, thefts, and general deterioration of property were resulting at an ever increasing rate in the downtown area -- all associated with the problems of the homeless, of whom about one -half reportedly suffer from alcohol /drug abuse. City officials took notice of these growing problems. Police Chief Sid Klein was tasked with developing solutions to these problems. Traditionally, police departments have dealt with homelessness issues in predictable ways. For instance, cities have made use of a variety of ordinances to arrest homeless people, sometimes going so far as to burn their meager possessions. Others have picked up the homeless persons and transported them out of the jurisdiction with warnings not to return. Clearly, these methods have been proven not to solve the problem, only to relocate it. In researching past police /homelessness interventions, Chief Klein realized that a true solution would involve a collaborative effort by an assortment of social service agencies, city June 12, 1998 Page 1 departments, and citizens. In 1993 based on Chief Klein's recommendation, the Clearwater City Commission established a task force to study the feasibility of setting up a "drop -in" center for homeless persons in Clearwater. The task force included representatives from Clearwater and bordering cities, as well as from Pinellas County. Additionally, various agencies were also represented — including the Chamber of Commerce, Gulfcoast Legal Services, Homeless Emergency Project, The Salvation Army, and St Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen — i.e., a number of government and social service agencies involved with homeless persons and programs throughout the city and the county. The task force eventually evolved into a non- profit corporation, Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP). To emphasize the City Commission's commitment to homelessness issues, one Commissioner has also served as the Commission's representative since the task force's inception. Commissioner Ed Hooper serves as the current City Commission representative. Police Chief Sid Klein, president of CHIP, continues to lead the group toward resolution of community homelessness problems. In this initial phase of the task force, Chief Klein shepherded the group through the scanning phase of the SARA problem solving model (SARA - scanning, analysis, response, assessment. The group identified the actual problem, determined parties affected by the problems of homelessness, and began an understanding of the level of homelessness occurring in our community as opposed to neighboring towns and across the nation. The group compiled statistics on the types and number of offenses recorded by the Police Department that were June 12, 1998 Page 2 k. related to homelessness issues. They also began to look inside and outside the city for opportunities to partner in solutions and develop baseline data concerning how many homeless persons there actually were in the county. Several subcommittees were established to determine alternative sites for an emergency shelter and to locate funding sources for construction of a shelter. The Clearwater Library conducted research on homelessness issues with special emphasis on public opinion and the question of opposition in the neighborhoods. It was no surprise to find that most communities supported homeless shelters - but "not in my backyard" was the prevalent sentiment on location determinations. The task force pooled resources with donations from several members and collaborating organizations and opened a temporary "cold night" shelter in an available building across the street from a major city office complex. This 30 -bed shelter was opened nightly for two months, beginning on January 10 through March 10, 1994. Additionally, two day -long "Homeless Help Fairs" were conducted during this same time period to provide information on referral likelihood and to further define the need for a drop -in center. Special check -in data was collected from the homeless clients using the shelter to further identify demographic and other characteristics of potential beneficiaries of a drop -in center. During the two months of operation, a total of 1 893 persons were served at the "cold night" shelter, including 56 police referrals. The youngest client was one month old; the oldest was June 12, 1995 Page 3 77 years old; and the average age was 30. Local residency of the clients ranged from one day to 77 years. Based on a random sampling, it was determined that 40% of the clients came for more than one night at the shelter and between 60% and 80% were employed in some kind of day labor. These figures gave a much different picture of Clearwater's homeless population than the stereotype mentioned in public comments (i.e., not working, chronic homeless). It became overwhelmingly clear that the homeless problem in the community was much larger than anyone had initially anticipated. Based on counts taken on a specific day at all emergency shelters and drop -in centers in the county, in 1994 there were about 1500 homeless persons in Pinellas County on any one day, and the northern part of the county (where Clearwater is located) seemed to have a larger portion of the homeless than the southern part. Figures from the "cold night" shelter showed that it was filled to over capacity 82% of the time and was never below 67% full. On nights when the facility was full, two to eight persons had to be turned away. (More recent county -wide counts of homeless now estimate at least 2500 homeless are in Pinellas County on any day.) Analysis of the collected data/information identified four major causes contributing to the dramatic increase in homelessness perceived in Clearwater. 1) the cutback in federal funding available to house the mentally ill and the physically incapacitated, thereby swelling the ranks of those who must fend for themselves in the open; June 12, 1998 Page 4 'A,_1+' 2) the large number of Vietnam veterans and others who have become addicted to alcohol and /or other substances and whose families have given up on them; 3) the several years long economic recession and its attendant layoffs which added to the number of those out of work - and needing new skills or advanced education; 4) the climate and friendly attitude of Clearwater residents attracted many individuals from other jurisdictions in the hope of finding a better life here. Recognizing the need for a more permanent overnight shelter and drop -off center, the Clearwater Police Department donated a double wide mobile home for use as an overnight facility on a continuing basis. The mobile home was set up on a local church's property through Community Development Block Grant funding. The Salvation Army Homeless Intervention Project began operating the emergency shelter and intervention program. The facility's fifteen beds were not enough though -- homeless persons needing shelter exceeded that shelter's capacity on a daily basis. This shelter continued to operate daily for the next few years as the task force took on a more formal structure, becoming the nonprofit corporation it is today - CHIP. Beginning with the "cold night" shelter, the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen has provided free meals for Clearwater's homeless shelter clientele. Approximately 200 persons are fed at this facility daily - and not all of there are homeless. June 12, 1998 Page 5 ,Iii) ,4 In 1995 the Clearwater Police Department with the St. Vincent de Paul Society Soup Kitchen established a registration program at the soup kitchen. Previously, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen had offered its mid -day meals to anyone who walked in off the street, bringing an alarming increase in the number of homeless persons in Clearwater's downtown area and a subsequent increase in the number of misdemeanor crimes reported in that area. The registration program requires all persons seeking services at the soup kitchen to provide personal identification and information, as well as have their photographs taken for their files. Any one refusing to comply is "trespassed" and made to leave the property. After two trespasses, an individual cannot return to the soup kitchen for any services, including meals. Through this increased law enforcement presence in the soup kitchen vicinity, there have been fewer observed homeless persons camping /loitering in the area and a reduction in the associated misdemeanors and property damage. The registration program at the soup kitchen facility is continuing to work well. To provide security during the noon feeding time, the Clearwater Police assigned one officer to the soup kitchen daily during the feeding hours. The success of just this one program brought significant decreases in several misdemeanor categories when the numbers from 1994 were compared to those of 1995 for the grid which includes the soup kitchen: June 12, 1998 Type of Calls for Service % Change from 1994 to 1995 ..,�. Mentally Disturbed -36% Burglary - Business -42% Vandalism/Mischief -12% Larceny/Theft -9% Solicit/Panhandle -100% Drunk Pedestrian -47% City Ord. Violations -7% CHIP members determined that the 15 -bed emergency overnight shelter could not remain on the church's property - that location had only been a stop -gap. The Salvation Army renovated a thrift store building to replace the mobile home shelter in 1996. The City Commission granted a temporary variance to allow the emergency shelter to occupy the building for 18 months, when the use would again be reviewed. Community opposition to locations proposed for a more permanent shelter continued. Under the guidance of Chief Klein, CHIP formulated a plan to build an emergency shelter adjacent to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen to serve Clearwater's homeless population. The proposed CHIP emergency shelter would provide a safe overnight facility for homeless persons and essential support services to help individuals and families to begin to improve their lives. Each homeless client staying at the CHIP shelter would be required to participate in The Salvation Army's homeless intervention program which includes case worker review and management. The average stay at the shelter was projected at eight days based on data June 12, 1998 Page 7 collected from the temporary 15 -bed shelter's history. By that time the client would have been placed in transitional housing. It was determined that some homeless persons might be allowed to return to the emergency overnight shelter under very strict conditions. If a client violated the rules of the shelter, he /she would be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses. The CHIP permanent shelter was designed based on an Orlando homeless campus which was a collaboration between local governments and social service agencies in that community. CHIP planned to replicate the Orlando program plus include space for a community policing substation and for social service agency workers to work with the homeless clients. The Orlando campus housed up to several hundred persons — a size that is not appropriate for Clearwater. CHIP's objective was to create a shelter that will serve 48 clients -- single males and females, and families. This shelter would serve truly homeless persons who are in need of services. CHIP obtained Community Development Block Grant funding from both Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater, as well as other funding from the City of Clearwater. These funds, along with donations from St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and others, have paid for the construction of the CHIP emergency shelter facility. The facility opened April 20, 19913 — but only after many long months of zoning battles and challenges by citizens. June 12, 1998 Page 8 To compound the problems area residents voiced in opposition to the location of the shelter in their neighborhood, two day labor establishments opened just a few blocks from the shelter and soup kitchen facilities - bringing even more apparently homeless /transient persons to the area. Chief Klein urged the most vocal of the neighborhood opponents to join a Neighborhood Advisory Council for CHIP. After all building obstacles were settled, and it became apparent that the CHIP facility would become a reality, these individuals - both residents and business owners - have taken an active part in mobilizing the neighborhood to become a part of the solution. Some have volunteered to teach in programs at the facility. Regular meetings are held with the group to bring up any observed problems and let them know of upcoming events associated with the shelter programs. One truly unique aspect of the CHIP shelter is the inclusion of a neighborhood community policing team located right at the facility. Through the federal COPS initiative, the City of Clearwater Police Department was awarded funds to provide a "Downtown Bicycle Community Policing Team" which is now stationed at the shelter. In addition, Clearwater Police Department has also received a $90,000 COPS Problem- Solving Grant in which The Salvation Army and CHIP are partners. As stated earlier, citizen and business owner complaints first brought this homelessness problem to the attention of city management. Police Chief Klein spearheaded efforts to coordinate efforts on a community June 12, 1998 Page 9 wide basis to determine solutions to the homelessness - related issues -- especially those associated with public drunkenness and chronic inebriates. Through this grant, Clearwater is targeting the chronic inebriates, generally found among the homeless, in the downtown area of the city. Over a three year period ending in 1997, this area of the city had the highest number of complaints concerning public intoxication, as well as increasing numbers of incidents involving vandalism, petty theft, loitering, and the like. Property values in this general area are not appreciating, and business activity is not growing. Clearwater and its partners, The Salvation Army and CHIP, realized that in order to develop the best strategies to deal with the problems inherent with public intoxication, technology had to be in place to track and analyze captured data. The COPS Problem Solving Grant is funding: I. A computer network at the emergency shelter for the social service workers, the police officers at the community policing substation, and the soup kitchen administrators. 2. Software to connect to the Police Department geographic information system (GIS). Data collected from public intoxication incidents and complaints will be available on .a real -time basis for officers at the substation, thereby assisting with "hot spot" identification and in conducting time and space analyses of various aspects of the public intoxication problems encountered in Clearwater. For example, the mapping software will enable uses to look at the relationship between different types of businesses (liquor stores, convenience stores, nightclubs, etc.), transportation routes, public intoxication reports, and vandalism. June 12, 1998 Page 10 3. Major case management software package for the tracking of clients and programs. Previously, the social service workers conducting case management of the homeless persons did not have such a system. All records were kept in a spreadsheet, a simple data base environment, or simply on 3x5 cards. Effectiveness of programs and longterm tracking were not monitored, making it difficult to determine whether clients were repeats, and, if so, at what point they left the intervention programs or treatment 4. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategies selected and implemented through the problem solving partnership. As the chronology of how Clearwater has dealt with homelessness issues has unfolded, it has been clear that Police Chief Sid Klein and the Clearwater Police Department have guided the process according the SARA problem solving model. The first step was scanning — identifying the problem and also the stakeholders. In this part of the process, the task force was formed and research into the broader issues was conducted. Information and data were collected from homeless clients and other agencies. Next came the analysis portion — learning the problems' causes and, effects, as well as the true scope. The task force, led by the Clearwater Police Department sifted through the mounds of data collected to see developing trends and repetitive themes. The group developed a new understanding of the underlying causes of homelessness and the many inherent problems associated with being homeless. June 12, 1998 Page 11 The third step was response — acting to alleviate the problem. The "cold night" shelter pilot program was instituted for a two month period. Then came the temporary 15 -bed shelter which was relocated to a second temporary site after two years. The next location was the newly construction CHIP emergency shelter on St Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen property. In addition to providing shelter, CHIP requires all clients to become involved in its homeless intervention program. The community's biggest concern was that a shelter would just be a convenient "flop house" and entire even more homeless persons to Clearwater. The CHIP facility and required program of case management is the antithesis of a "flop house." The fourth step — one that never seems final — is assessment. In this step, the stakeholders evaluate how well the response has worked, make course adjustments, and try again. The feedback obtained at this step may even redefine the nature of the problem, thus starting the entire process again. A key element to the success Clearwater has experienced thus far in at least partially solving the homeless problems has been the collaboration of the many organizations, government agencies, business owners, and residents in determining the solutions to be implemented. Consensus building has been difficult but continues to improve. Throughout the entire process, the CHIP partners -- Clearwater Police Department, Clearwater Housing Authority, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, and The Salvation Army -- have formed the foundation for building a community- solution to homelessness issues in Clearwater.

CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program) provides a helping hand to homeless individuals. While Pinellas County has an average of 3,200 homeless individuals each day, the 19 shelters only have 614 beds. He introduced CHIP's Project Director is Carole Ciokiewicz and reviewed the program's background and collaboration with social service agencies such as the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen, Salvation Army, the Clearwater Police Department, which maintains an on -site substation, Pinellas County, Veterans Administration, Gulf Coast Legal Aid, Community Pride Coordinated Child Care, etc. Since the shelter opened in April 1998, it has served more than 15,000 individuals. An average 75 daytime clients receive services including clothing, sandwiches, medical counseling, referrals, laundry, etc. The shelter's capacity is limited. The average stay is 8 days. Individuals work with a caseworker to develop a plan to find employment and locate a permanent residence. Some individuals remain homeless in spite of efforts. Police Chief Klein reported neighborhood residents and nearby businesses now applaud the community improvements. New construction is underway nearby. Pinellas County shelters are at capacity. The seasonal population increase leaves more families and individuals living on the streets. The downtown is primarily impacted although an increase of related problems have been reported in the City's eastern section and on the beach. The shelter provides a more effective deterrent to homelessness than law enforcement. He recommended the current program be maintained. Operating costs of FY 1999/2000 are budgeted at $326,000. Grant funds are diminishing while operating costs and client rates are increasing. He expressed the need for foundation funding or corporate sponsorship. Police Chief Klein recommended the program be expanded to provide transitional housing for program participants who are moving from the shelter toward independence. Participants would continue to work with a CHIP caseworker on a savings and budget program, housekeeping and cooking skills, while maintaining employment and paying rent. He estimated a pilot program would cost $100,000 annually, excluding property acquisition and rehabilitation costs. He said anyone can become homeless. How the City handles these issues today will affect our community tomorrow. In response to a question, Police Chief Klein said homeless programs in other cities are relatively full every night. It was recommended the City link with other communities to address this issue. It was suggested funds could be raised from grants. Police Chief Klein noted grants often require a program match. The program cannot count on private contributions to continue. It was suggested the program needs a dedicated revenue source. Police Chief Klein said staff is exploring options at the County level, noting Dade County had implemented a restaurant tax for homeless related costs. The City Manager said Clearwater is responsible for the program. He supported the recommendation to expand the program, noting the need to consider future budget impacts. He said a program would be less expensive than depending on law enforcement interdiction. It was felt a Countywide solution should be considered with fair share contributions from smaller cities. y, WinWord Document: NEIGHBORHOOD & AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY B... Page 3 of 5 property purchase. In response to a question, Ms. Widera did not know whether the shelter anticipates applying for funds next year, because next year's project goals are still in process. Concerns were expressed the shelter needs a stout, high wall for security, and the playground should be completely fenced to avoid having someone recognize the children. Ms. Widera explained the elaborate security precautions used to avoid recognition by the public. She pointed out a wall would not be appropriate for an outreach program. She indicated they seek to create an appearance that blends with the surrounding neighborhood to avoid drawing attention, while providing adequate security. Discussion ensued regarding fencing the City's fence code. Mr. Widera explained how the outreach program works, the number of people served, and turnover in the 20 -bed shelter during the course of a typical month. She said each month they receive 300 to 400 calls and police reports concerning domestic violence. About 5% of clientele are men who are housed off site. When men come in with children, they are housed at a local motel. She thanked the board for the opportunity to address them, and for the contribution of funds. I c ALC. Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) aa�o Deborah Vincent, Executive Director of Clearwater Housing Authority ( CHA), said City Police Chief Kline is attending a conference today. She thanked the board for supporting the CHIP partnership, composed of the City of Clearwater, Salvation Army, CHA, and St. Vincent de Paul. She highlighted the successes and challenges experienced by the CHIP, and listed funding sources of the $575,890 cash secured to date. She detailed in -kind construction services the City has provided in addition to the financial support. The plans and specifications by architects Myers, Plisko & Ott are in the final stages. The requisite permits are in place and the project will be ready to bid by the end of January. The project has been delayed by the appeal of the conditional use permit approved by the Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) on November 11. Local business and homeowners filed the appeal as the "Save Our Neighborhood" group. Attorney Tim Johnson is representing the appellants. Carlton Ward is representing the CHIP pro bono, and an Assistant City Attorney will represent the PZB. Depending on time allowed to file closing briefs, it may take up to 75 days to proceed with the project. She responded to questions regarding location and procedures at the appeal hearing. Ms. Vincent was confident of approval, stating the partnership is moving forward with plans, and bidding will follow. The partners remain fully committed to the project and asked for the board's continued support. Evergreen Marketing is preparing brochures to be used for fundraising and advertising. The old thrift shop closed, and a new one is open across the street from 50 units of elderly housing. As a result, she has seen less sleeping around the outside of the building. She looked forward to seeing the improvements afforded by the new shelter. Discussion ensued regarding the shelter clientele, and amount of pedestrian traffic in the neighborhood. One member noted inclusion of the police substation was one of the selling points of the shelter. Ms. Vincent expressed concern the neighbors in opposition don't seem to understand their opposition of the existing soup kitchen will not make it go away. It was indicated the soup kitchen has looked at controlling the clientele. Discussion ensued regarding sources of day jobs in the vicinity. Ms. Vincent made a note to invite Workforce, Inc. representatives to be on the <33 homeless ► 44 task i 44 force ► M. Ms. Vincent responded to questions regarding the number of services offered, stating the Salvation Army has a very clean, quiet, well run, and successful program focusing on stabilizing the person, getting them what they need and determining their http: // 199. 227. 233 .29 /ISYSquery/IRL5F09.tmp /8 /doc 4/14/2003 WinWord Document: NEIGHBORHOOD & AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY B...

She invited members who desire additional information to attend the next CHIP meeting at the new police station, at 8:00 a.m. on February 4. She responded to questions regarding age limits, sleeping arrangements for marrieds, singles and families. Having ended her presentation, Ms. Vincent submitted a written copy of her report for the record. Member Kelley left the meeting at 11:00 a.m. In response to questions, Barbara Green related details of the Mustard Seed program, stating their staff had worked from HEP's new dorm offices, contacting restaurant owners, contractors, etc., to find jobs in the community for HEP clients. She said former Director Don Malcom has been ill and is no longer with Mustard Seed. After turning over staff about three times, they have no one remaining to run their office. Ms. Green is not is a position to hire people for them, but she will meet with Mr. Ferri and the Mustard Seed board of directors to see what may become of the program. Board members inquired what will become of the money allocated to Mustard Seed. Mr. Holmes said unused funds can be recaptured and reallocated. Ms. Green said Mr. Ferri had suggested reimbursing HEP for some of the utilities used during the time Mustard Seed was using HEP offices. She felt reimbursement was not as important as seeing a successful program. Discussion ensued regarding inviting the Mustard Seed board to the next NAHAB meeting. Staff will investigate and report when Mustard Seed could be agendaed. 4. Subgrantee Reports Mr. Holmes said staff has not received all the reports. He hoped to present the 1996 last quarter and January reports at the next meeting. 5. Old Business A. Filling Board Vacancy for Housing Development Mr. Holmes said staff will contact the building trades for volunteers to fill the vacancy. Interested parties are encouraged to obtain applications in the City Clerk Department. In response to questions, he said more than one name is needed before the list goes to the City Commission. Concerns were expressed and discussion ensued regarding why the process has taken so long. One member felt the board has waited long enough and directed staff to advertise for volunteers in the newspapers. Mr. Holmes noted the direction. B. Brownsfield Program Report This item was continued until Mr. Ferri can attend to make the presentation. General discussion ensued regarding status of property at Greenwood Avenue and Woodlawn Street. Questions were raised whether the program contains a job training component, and Brownsfield criteria for surveying and putting contaminated properties back into service. In response to questions, the status of the Winn -Dixie project was not known. General discussion ensued. 6. New Business A.

He requested the City Commission authorize the City Manager to fund the homeless shelter mcc04b.96 04/18/96 c- 3 -03; 3:33PR4;CITY CLERK DEPT. II l :727 562 3086 # 3i 4 project through CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funding. He noted money provided by the CHA (Clearwater Housing Authority) in lieu of taxes could be used to pay project impact fees, etc. Chief Klein said a Task Force, consisting of City Commission representation and substantial participation by government and other social services agencies, was established after the Police Department's in -depth study of the homeless issue was completed three years ago at Commission request. Establishment of the first winter shelter in the STEPPS building clarified the seriousness of the problem. In response, the Police Department donated a double -wide mobile home, moved to Everybody's Tabernacle property with CDBG funding, for use as an overnight facility. During the past two years, the facility's fifteen beds have not met demand. The facility now must be moved. The registration program initiated in 1995 by the Clearwater Police Department and St. Vincent de Paul's Soup Kitchen at their 1345 Park Street facility has worked well. Through President Clinton's COPS initiative, a full -time officer was assigned to the Soup Kitchen in February 1996. If more funding is approved, five additional officers will work in the proposed shelter's facility on Soup Kitchen grounds in an on -site substation. The homeless shelter is moving to temporary quarters at the former Salvation Army Thrift Store on Pierce Street. CHIP has filed as a 501(3)(c) non - profit organization. The planned shelter is based on a successful Orlando project that includes a neighborhood police substation and space for social services staff to work with homeless guests. The facility will house 48, including single men, women, and families. All guests must participate in the homeless intervention program administered by the Salvation Army. He predicted the added Police presence will result In fewer area vagrancy issues. Chief Klein presented site -plans of the proposed homeless shelter. The facility will take six to nine months to build and construction costs are estimated at $573,000. Along with CDBG funding, the shelter has received commitments from St. Catherine ($25,000) and St. Vincent de Paul. ($75,000 plus land). It is hoped Pinellas County will provide matching funds. Chief Klein anticipated additional funding sources will develop. It is hoped the Salvation Army will continue to operate the shelter. He indicated CHIP may return to the City in the future requesting operating costs. In answer to a question, Chief Klein estimated annual operating costs at $206,019, after the first year. Community groups interested in helping are invited to contact his office. Commissioner Seel questioned why CHA does not operate the facility. Chief Klein said the Task Force felt it best for CHIP to apply for funding. Other local agencies that address the homeless issue participate on CHIP's advisory board. Commissioner Hooper thanked Chief Klein and said he was impressed with the cooperation between participating agencies. He felt CHIP is on the right road, helping the homeless population wanting help. Mayor Garvey questioned which segment of CDBG funding is being requested. Economic Development Director Alan Ferri said CHIP is applying for public facilities funding. Commissioner Seel questioned if CHIP could apply for grants to cover operational costs. Chief Klein said CHIP has applied for every pertinent grant. The Mayor congratulated all CHIP partners. She suggested they inform the public regarding their equipment needs, etc. The City mcc04b.96 2 04118/96 4- 3 -03; 3:.33PM ;CIT`f CLERK DEPT. :727 562 40 &6 tt 4/ 4 Manager noted the City Commission is not being requested to authorize approval of funding unless they apply through the CDBG process and attain a high score. Staff will advise the County regarding City Commission approval so they can commit their funds. Commissioner Hooper moved to authorize the City Manager to commit CDBG funds to CHIP as soon as the CHIP application has completed the evaluation process with a sufficiently competitive score. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Clearwater Housing Authority Howard Groth, Chair of the CHA (Clearwater Housing Authority), presented the annual report. He said the authority's proficiency rating has increased to 98.57 %. Since Sable Walk has been rehabilitated, occupancy has increased and the facility is nearly drug free. Mr. Groth announced a new program offering condominiums to low income first time home buyers. He reported the City's public housing is 100% occupied. As the CHA is rehabilitating their offices at the Levinson Center, he requested the City consider upgrading the retention pond next to It. He thanked the Police Department for their great job working with public housing residents. Mr. Groth remitted a check for $22,000, presented to the City in lieu of taxes.

Carlton Ward, Esquire Richards, Gilkey, Fite, Slaughter, Pratesi & Ward, P.A. Richards Building 1253 Park Street Clearwater, Florida 34616 STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE The issue in this case is whether the appeal from the decision of the Planning and Zoning.Board granting the conditional use.permit. application of the Society of St. Vincent dePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc., in the Board's Case No. CU 96 =46 should be granted. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT On or about August 20, 1996, the Society of St. Vincent dePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc., (the Society) filed an application for conditional use approval for a proposed residential shelter for homeless persons as well as for a police substation facility at its property located at 1339, 1341 and 1345 Park Street in the City of Clearwater. The application was considered by the City's Planning and Zoning Board (the Board) at meetings on October 15 and November 5, 1996. The Board approved the application, subject to certain conditions. On November 18, 1996, Mary Schuh, Brian Schuh, Clark Hubbard, Pat A. Wilson, Jonas 0. Brumett, Dr. Gilbert Janelli, and Save Our Neighborhood, an unincorporated association, filed a Notice of Appeal from the Board's decision. Under Section 36.065 of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code), the appeal was forwarded to the Division of Administrative Hearings on November 26, 1996, along with a copy of the record of the 2 yl � proceedings below. After the filing of responses to the Initial Order in the case, a Notice of Hearing was issued on December 23, 1996, scheduling final hearing for January 29, 1997, in Clearwater. At final hearing, the tapes, minutes and exhibits from the Planning and Zoning Board proceeding were received into evidence.' the Appellants called five witnesses and had Appellants' Exhibits 1 through 8 admitted into evidence in their. case -in- chief. Government Exhibit 1 was admitted into evidence during the Appellants' presentation. The Applicant called three witnesses and had Applicant's Exhibit 1 admitted into evidence. The City called one witness and had Government Exhibits 1 through 20 admitted in evidence. Appellants' Exhibit 9 was admitted into evidence during the City's presentation. The Appellants recalled two witnesses in rebuttal. After the presentation of the evidence, the parties were given 15 days in which to file proposed final orders. Timely proposed final orders were filed by the Appellants and by the City. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Society owns property in Clearwater zoned CG (General Commercial) and RM 12 (Residential Multi Family). The part of the property zoned CG fronts on the south side of Park Street and its adjacent western terminus;'the part of the property zoned RM 12 fronts on Pierce Street and is adjacent to and south of the CG property. 3 The Application 2. Since approximately 1991, the Society has operated a soup kitchen on the;part of the property zoned CG fronting on j. Park Street. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location. The continued operation of the soup kitchen is not at issue in this proceeding. 3. The Society wishes to build and operate a 48 -bed homeless shelter on the remainder of the property,.zoned.CG located adjacent to the soup kitchen at the western terminus of Park Street, in conjunction with a new police substation facility. (There is an existing residence on some of the RM 12 property fronting on Pierce Street adjacent to and south of the existing soup kitchen; the remainder of the property facing Pierce Street will be used for new parking.) Both the residential shelter and the police substation facility are permittable conditional uses in CG and RM zones requiring an application for conditional use approval. 4. As proposed, the police substation facility would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. Initially, the operation will be financed by a federal Department of Justice COPS grant; the City has committed to continue funding for future years. 5. As proposed, the residential homeless shelter would serve primarily single males and females, but there will. be a separate 4 -to -6 bed component for use by families as needed. The average length of stay at the shelter is projected to be eight 4 1 days. Restrooms will be available during day and evening hours for use of residents. 6. The shelter will operate under the terms of a Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) community block grant. Funding under the grant is contingent on the establishment of the proposed police substation. Under the grant, users of the soup kitchen would be required to register. Registrants will undergo a police background check and will be "trespassed'" from the facility.and.not allowed to use either the soup kitchen or the shelter if a criminal record is discovered. If eligible, registrants will be required to enter. the CHIP program. (Not all users of the soup kitchen are homeless, and entry into the CHIP program will not be required if local residence can be proven.) 7. Upon entry into the CHIP program, shelter residents would be required to participate in CHIP intervention programs. These would include mental health and drug and alcohol abuse counseling and treatment (where appropriate), job skill training and assistance in obtaining employment, and assistance in obtaining housing. The goal of the CHIP program is to transition P articipants back into productive -iobs and permanent housing 8. Participants in CHIP would have to follow the requirements of its programs, as well as follow "good citizenship" house rules of the homeless shelter (which includes the requirement to remain sober) , in order to continue to receive the services of the homeless shelter and soup kitchen. The unacceptable behaviors of some current users of the soup kitchen - including public urination and defecation, public 5 drinking, panhandling and solicitation for prostitution - -would not be tolerated. If a program participant violates CHIP's rules, "he /she will be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses." Board Action 9. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the Society's conditional use approval application at.length.;at.its meeting on October 15, 1996, but continued the matter to give its. staff time to answer questions raised at-the meeting. Staff provided additional information, and the application was considered again at length at the Board's meeting on November 5, 1996. By a vote of 4 -3, the,Board approved the application subject to the following conditions,.which• were designed in large part to address concerns of the Appellants: 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be.constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public.hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use;. 6. Efforts shall be made on behalf of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues M and information on a regular basis; and 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate.of Occupancy. r The Appellants raise no issue as to the approval of the proposed police substation facility as a conditional use; they only oppose the decision to approve the proposed homeless shelter as a conditional use. Compatibility with Surrounding Area 10. The area in which the subject property is located could not be characterized as a residential neighborhood. (A residential shelter would not be a permittable conditional use in a single- family zoning district.) Rather, it is in-an area of mixed land use. Existing land uses within 1000 feet "of the site include office, school, utility facilities,.park, indoor retail, motel, restaurant, bar /tavern, personal services, and vehicular service, in addition to single - family residential and multi- family residential. 11. _P-erhaps most sig ificant for purposes of the decision in thsl case; the proposed property_ is located next to the Society's soup kitch'en,-�which is a permitted use that has been existence at the site since approximately 1991. There clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that a homel is r..shelter next to-=-an --exstng=soup-k-itc.hen -i compatible use. It may well be that the homeless shelter would not be compatible with the surrounding area if it were not for the pre- existing soup kitchen, but those are not the facts. 12. The Appellants question the compatibility of a homeless 7 to shelter next to a bar and near convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased, since almost 60% of homeless individuals in upper Pinellas County in 1995 were abusers of alcohol. But there was no evidence that there are any possible locations for a homeless shelter in the City of Clearwater where beer and wine cannot be purchased relatively conveniently. (There probably are residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to buy beer and wine, but :a homeless shelter would. not' be permittable there.) Besides, the presence of the soup kitchen next door is enough to sustain the Board's decision that the homeless shelter is a compatible use, even with the nearby bar and convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased. Adverse Impacts from Soup Kitchen 13. All of the adverse-impacts on-nearby property complained of by the Appellants are impacts from the operation of the soup kitchen. The homeless who trespass by walking through private property near the subject property from Cleveland Street, and from other directions, to the soup kitchen are, obviously,, users of the,.soup kitchen. Other adverse impacts from users of the soup kitchen include: damage to and burglary of and sleeping in and on private property near the subject property; monopolising the nearby Cleveland Street bus stop; loitering and littering and drinking in public on both private and public property in the area; urinating and defecating and panhandling and soliciting for prostitution on both private and.public property in the area. 14. These adverse impacts from the operation of the soup 8 a kitchen, in addition to the mere presence in public of those homeless users of the soup kitchen who look and smell bad, are what has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The evidence was that, on the average over a larger radius of 1000 feet from the soup kitchen, there is no trend of decreasing property values as a result of.the presence of the soup kitchen at this time; but, in fairness, that is not to say that, even over this larger area, the presence of the soup kitchen, and those who use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values, for example from efforts at redevelopment and revitalization in the area. Positive Impact of Homeless Shelter 15. Given the pre- existence of the Society's soup kitchen, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the proposal to build and operate a homeless shelter next door, especially with the conditions imposed by -the Board, would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. 16. There was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that, with_ - .the - homeless she-lter-, 48 of th homeless e - -now - 1�l ving- in-the-streets -and causing negative— imps =cts on— the = neighborhood 7--wit -1 be- of_f_- the - -qtr- eets__and, as long as they follow the rules of the shelter, will not —be contribut- ing - -to- -those,� /j I impacts..' Cf. . Finding 13, supra. 17. As conditions on its approval of the application, the Board has required: (1) that a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; (2) that additional lighting be 9 V installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license and (3) that fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of .Occupancy. These measures also should help ameliorate the negative impacts of both the residents of the homeless shelter and other users of the soup kitchen.' 18. There also was evidence that.there has been a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of new homeless shelters in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that a similar decrease in crime would occur in the vicinity of the Society's proposed homeless shelter. (Also supporting such an inference was evidence that virtually no complaints have arisen out of the operation of the 15 -bed emergency shelter which the Salvation Army has operated at 900 Pierce Street for the preceding 18 months and at another location for the 18 months before that, or out of the operation of any homeless shelter operated by Barbara Green of Everybody's Tabernacle Homeless Emergency Project over the last 30 years . 3 19. In the face of this evidence, the Appellants could only respond by raising the specter of an influx of homeless from all over Pinellas County (and even the country) attracted by the combination of the soup kitchen and the homeless shelter, in numbers that will exceed the homeless shelter's capacity. There was no evidence on which to base such a projection, and the Board 10 was entitled to treat this concern as being speculative. 20. There was evidence that, unlike some other communities, Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of shelter location at spots throughout the County and that this policy has succeeded in avoiding overburdening any one area. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that the addition of the Society's proposed homeless shelter would cause all of the homeless in Pinellas County to abandon the many other shelters'in the County to live on'the streets in the vicinity of the Society's proposed shelter while admission. 21. The Board also was entitled to infer that, logically, if the homeless shelter attracts any additional homeless., it will attract those hopeful of acceptance into the CHIP program and that these individuals would be willing to abide by the strict rules of behavior required of homeless person wanting to be accepted. Positive Impact of the Police Substation 22. In addition to the evidence on the positive impact of the proposed homeless shelter itself, there clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the combined proposal of a homeless shelter and a police substation facility will would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. As proposed, the police substation would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. The Board clearly was entitled to infer from this evidence that crime and other negative impacts to the neighborhood likely will be reduced from current levels. Three -Year Trial Period 23. As an additional protection for the neighboring property owners, the Board attached a three -year trial period as a condition to its approval, after which a new conditional use permit.review will be required for the residential shelter use. The Commission's Decision 24. The Appellants argue that policy allegedly. set by the City Commission requires the reversal of the Board's decision. They argue that this policy is reflected in a Commission decision to deny an application to amendment the City's comprehensive plan to change the future land use designation of the property adjacent and immediately to the west of the subject property from commercial to public facility to allow for use as.a church and school. The evidence actually reflects the City Commission's concern that the existence of a church and school on the site would make it more difficult for commercial properties within 200 feet to obtain condition use approval for the sale of alcoholic beverages for lounges and restaurants. The City's decision not to amend its comprehensive plan did not establish policy`to control the conditional use approval at issue in this case. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 25. Under Section 36.065(6) of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code): (a) The hearing officer shall review the record and testimony presented at the hearing before the board and the hearing officer relative to the guidelines for consideration of conditional uses 12 (b) (c) or variances as contained in chapter 41, article II, or chapter 45, respectively. Although additional evidence may be brought before the hearing officer, the hearing shall not be deemed a hearing de novo, and the record before the board shall be incorporated into..the record before the hearing officer, supplemented by such additional evidence as may be brought before the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall be guided by the city comprehensive plan, relevant portions of this Code and established case law. The burden shall be upon the appellant to show that the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer, or that the decision of the.board departs from the essential requirements of law. In this case, the Appellants argue that "the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer."' 26. Section 41.033 of the Code provides, in pertinent part: A conditional use shall be approved by the board only upon determination that the application and evidence presented clearly indicate that: (1) The use complies with the land use plan. (2) The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code. (3) The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in division 3 of this article. (4) The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and.not detract from the public's. convenience at the specific location. (5) The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. (6) The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The Appellants argue in this case that the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer cannot sustain the board's decision that the application for conditional use approval in 13 s this case met the requirements of Section 41.033(2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of the Code. 27. As for Section 41.033(2) and (3) of the Code, other provisions of the Code applicable in this case include Section 41.052, which provides in pertinent part: The standards in this section shall apply to all uses which are identified in this development code as conditional uses. Only those uses which comply with all of the standards contained in this section may be approved. (7) The use shall be consistent with the community_ character of the properties surrounding the use. The criteria in this subsection shall be utilized to determine whether the use satisfies this standard: (a) Whether the use is compatible with the surrounding natural environment; (b) Whether the use will have a substantial detrimental effect on the property values of the properties.surrounding the conditional use; (c) Whether the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses as measured by building setbacks, open space, hours of operation, building and site appearance, architectural design and other factors which may be determined appropriate to assess the compatibility of uses; (d) Whether the traffic generated by the use is of a type or volume similar to traffic generated by the surrounding uses. 28. The key to properly deciding this appeal is the recognition that much of what the Appellants object to already exists as a result of the Society's existing soup kitchen, and denying this application for a homeless shelter and police substation will not change those conditions. Meanwhile, as found, there was sufficient evidence both before the Board and before the hearing officer to sustain the Board's decision that granting the application will help alleviate the Appellants' complaints, not exacerbate them, especially in view of the 14 a conditions placed on the conditional use approval granted by the Board. The requirement of a three -year trial period, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the -residential shelter use, is an additional protection for the neighboring property owners. DISPOSITION Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the appeal is denied, and the Board's decision is upheld. DONE AND ORDERED this 26th day of February, 1997, in Tallahassee, Florida. J - Division of Administrative Hearings The Desoto Building . 1230 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, FL 32399 -1550 (904) 488 -9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 26th day of February, 1997. ENDNOTES 1. The materials referred to the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) on November 26, 1996, were supplemented with certified copies of Board minutes. 2. The Appellants make much of the Society's need for a small easement from a neighboring property owner in order to comply with the sidewalk condition. But the possibility that the Society will not be able to comply with the condition is not a ground to overturn the Board's decision. Rather, it would be a compliance issue that is more appropriately resolved in another forum. 3. in fairness to the Appellants' position, it should be pointed out that none these homeless shelters had a soup kitchen attached. 15 4. The Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) has entered into a contract to serve as "hearing officer" under the City's Code. As a result of Chapter 96 -159, Laws of Florida (1996), former DOAH hearing officers are now called administrative law judges. The City's Code has not yet been revised to reflect the title change. 5. Under this curious-hybrid procedure, a board decision apparently can be sustained even if not sustainable by the evidence before the board if-sustainable by a combination of the evidence before the board ara:the evidence before the hearing officer (and never before seen by the board). The opposite corollary to this curious procedure is that the board's decision can be reversed as not sustainable by the evidence based upon evidence presented for the first time before the hearing officer COPIES FURNISHED: Timothy A.

Cc: Tarapani, Cyndi; Nicodemus, Sherrie; Arline, Maurey Subject: CHIPS proposal on park street Importance: High i think it would be beneficial if we could meet to discuss the next step in this case; we have to send the may 20 agenda to the clerk by 4/24; it must contain the legally- correct advertisement for the former conditional use application. the staff report for that case will need to include a detailed analysis of the history of CHIPs, how it got located on park street, how the conditions of the 1996 approval have been met (save the three -year trial period), and most importantly, how it has been a good neighbor. to show good neighbor status will requires statistics on property values, crime (and calls for service) and property maintenance. it should show no decrease in any of these as a result of the CHIP facility. we also need to educate the public on how and why clearwater is handling homeless and other social service issues. i met with a few of the neighbors after the case was continued. they had a lot to say: • the city is forcing this case on them and they dont have a choice; • this is a bad use of public funds • is the first CHIF's facility working? • what does the future hold for this area? is it going to be a bigger campus? • property values will reduce even further • the soup kitchen is the big problem and this will make it worse • this should be handled by pinellas county on a larger level, not just clearwater i am asking sherrie nicodemus to set up a meeting to discuss as soon as possible (friday); susan, i decided -to send this to you to forward to the chief Lisa L.

Section 1 -106C. provides that conditions continue unless a new approval is obtained. [The possibility of termination of status as a nonconformity was mentioned to the applicant but has not been pursued.] The original condition # 5. states that in 1999, "a new conditional use review will be required for the residential shelter use ". The minutes do not elaborate regarding the condition; it is possible that by listening to the audiotape further information could be gleaned. The condition as stated implies a review of the entire use based on the criteria set forth in old Code Section 41.033. 1 am faxing you a copy of that Section. It does seem unusual to be reviewing the conditional use under the old Code; however, since the new Code does not address this exact point and given the transitional rules, this seems the logical approach. The only other approach would be to deem the old criteria no longer in effect and either find that no criteria are applicable or that some "parallel" criteria under the new Code are applicable. This does not seem to be a viable approach because i.) it would not effectuate the intent of the PZB; and ii.) there are no "parallel" criteria under the new Code that would recognize the existing use [see 2 -903 and definition of "residential shelter "]. Note that old Section 41.032 provides for notice per old Ch. 36; since it required 10 days' publication and 200' notice, I believe the current notice procedures will be sufficient under both the new and old Codes. So, bottom line is CDB will be looking at the entire use under the Standards for Approval 1) -6) listed in old Section 41.033. - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Fierce, Lisa Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2003 2:22 PM To: Dougall- Sides, Leslie Cc: Wells, Wayne; Gerlock, Frank Subject: need confirmation on chips Importance: High could you please confirm the review authority /parameter that the cdb is going to have on the existing chips site? i would like to have that written into the staff report for the board to read. is the board to rehash the entire conditional use application? is it merely to see how it operated for the past years? here is the way i am advertising it (it is in draft form): Case: CU96 -46 ' 1339, 1341 and 1345 Park Street Owner: Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc.

The funds will be provided through a special Congressional Earmark that was designated for the City of Clearwater to address crime problems associated with the homeless population in the downtown corridor. The department will utilize this grant to implement a community /neighborhood program designed to assist citizens in preventing and controlling crimes committed by and perpetrated against the homeless in downtown Clearwater. This will be accomplished through an enhancement of the existing services and partnerships that are already in place at the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) shelter. The grant will fund overtime for community policing officers to focus on homelessness, contractual services to be provided by CHIP and Directions for Mental Health, and an evaluation of the program. For information on the program or to request police services related to the homeless, contact Lt. Tony Holloway, 562 -4120. http: // clearwater /Departments/Police /homeless.htm 4/17/2003 Fierce, Lisa From: Klein, Sidney Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 11:54 AM To: Wilson, Denise A.
