Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar provided listing of neighborhood parks with

In response to questions, Mr. Dunbar said it costs $86,000 a year to maintain Crest
Lake Park. He said it would cost $35,000 per year to open, close, and clean the
restrooms in the park daily. It is city policy not to have restrooms in all neighborhoods
due to maintenance costs and the type of unwanted activities that occur. He said in
instances where there are athletic fields associated with a neighborhood park, there are
restrooms for the athletic activities and someone is in charge of locking those
restrooms.
In response to a suggestion that the Skycrest Community may be willing to take on the
task of opening, closing, and cleaning the facilities, Mr. Dunbar said that in the past that
type of volunteering has started well but ended bad. Assistant City Manager Jill
Silverboard said Risk Management would not support this type of community
involvement.

bridges that are not included in the FDOT inspection program.

useful life and need to be replaced. All of the Island Estates bridges are 40+ year
old, short span reinforced concrete structures. These four structures exhibit more
rapid deterioration than the others and include Nos. 155515 and 155516 along
Harbor Passage and Nos. 155513 and 155514 along Island Way.
KCA will prepare complete design plans for the replacement of these structures
including environmental permitting, hydraulic and structural design and
maintenance of traffic.
KCA will advise the City as to whether it may be necessary to post the bridges
with load restrictions and/or install speed control devices to minimize dynamic
loads until the replacement is complete. Sufficient budget and revenue is available
in Capital Improvement Program project 0315-92274, Bridge Maintenance and
Improvements.
In response to questions, Engineering Assistant Director Scott Rice said the current
bridges were built in the 1960's. The average span over the water for each bridge is
approximately 22.5 feet. The consultant is analyzing the City's equipment for garbage
collection and EMS response to determine if weight and speed restrictions are needed.
If a weight restriction is placed, an alternative garbage collection would be needed.

6.4 Approve the request from eight owners of real property within the City of
Clearwater to vacate a portion of unimproved right-of-way of Landmark Drive;
and pass Ordinance 8383-13 on first reading. (VAC2013-02)
Eight residents of Elysium subdivision have collectively submitted a request to
vacate an unimproved portion of Landmark Drive right-of-way. The combined
property owned by the eight applicants abuts the entire west boundary of the
right-of-way proposed for vacation. The subject portion of Landmark Drive is a 40-
foot right-of-way approximately 1,300 feet long with its southern terminus at Union
Street. The right-of-way was created by a dedication in the Elysium plat in 1986.
At this time, the City has no plans to construct this roadway. In addition, the
property abutting the east boundary of the right-of-way is a 19.86-acre parcel that
the City has unsuccessfully attempted to purchase. The most recent discussions
occurred in September 2012, at which time a third party entered into a contract
with the owner for the purchase of the property. The property is currently under
contract. The property abutting the east boundary of the right-of way is located
within unincorporated Pinellas County and is currently being considered for
development. The development could include improvement of the right-of-way
proposed for vacation. The developer has consulted with City staff as the proposal
may include City annexation of a completed subdivision. The development is in
the early planning stages and has not been submitted to City staff for formal
review. One of the applicants of the vacation request is a city employee. The City,
Progress Energy, Bright House and Knology each own and maintain facilities in
the right-of-way. The City will retain an easement over the vacated area for use by
the City, Bright House and Knology. All eight landowners abutting the west
Work Session 2013-04-01 8
boundary of the right-of-way will be required to convey distribution easements to
Progress Energy. The Engineering Department conducted an interdepartmental
review of the vacation request. All City service and utility providers, potentially
affected by the vacation, have no objection to the request.
In response to questions, Real Estate Services Coordinator Chuck Lane said the
developer plans to use the right-of-way as part of their infrastructure. If the vacation is
approved, the residents would have a larger front yard. There is a conceptual plan to
have a road that connects Union Street to Lake Chautauqua Park, which turns west just
north of Elysium subdivision.
6.5 Accept an Ingress/Egress Easement conveyed to the City of Clearwater by the
owners of real property within Lot 4, Renaissance Oaks First Addition, for use by
City service and utility providers. (consent)
On February 21, 2013, City Council passed and adopted Ordinance 8375-13,
vacating a portion of that certain Private Ingress/Egress Easement lying within Lot
5, Renaissance Oaks First Addition. The ordinance was passed subject to the
property owner granting the additional easement to the City. The easement, which
is located on a dead-end street, provides for adequate land area to be used for
City service and utility vehicles to turn around.

9. Legal
9.1 Authorize additional funding in the amount of$50,000 to Jeffrey Hinds of
Smolker, Bartlett, Schlosser, Loeb and; Hinds, P.A. for legal representation in
the cases of Divaco v City, Rudman V City, and Szlechta v. City. (consent)
Divaco v. City, Rudman v. City, and Szlechta v. City are inverse condemnation
actions seeking damages resulting from the redesign and reconstruction of
Coronado Drive on Clearwater Beach. The claims for damage were for lost
parking spaces, lost business income, and for property allegedly taken by the
City. All three cases have been tried on the issues of whether takings occurred
and, in the cases of Divaco and Rudman, the court found that minor takings
occurred because of encroachment by the new sidewalk. The court ruled that no
taking occurred in Szlechta. The damages in Divaco were settled at an agreed-to
amount of$5,000. The amount of damages for the sidewalk encroachment in
Rudman has not been resolved.
There remains to be tried the issue of attorney fees and costs (including experts)
due the plaintiffs in Divaco and Rudman.
This will require counsel to conduct additional discovery, mediation and lengthy
evidentiary hearings before the court.
Work Session 2013-04-01 11
It is estimated that the above representation will cost approximately $50,000. This
funding is available in the City Attorney's professional services budget.

could be substantial if the City loses the cases. The City has prevailed on the
underlying cases.

11. Council Discussion Items
11.1 Fun 'n Sun Parades - Councilmember Polglaze
Councilmember Jay Polglaze said parades have community buy-in and requested
consideration to fund one parade.
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the parades
were eliminated due to staffing and funding reductions. The reconfiguration of
Cleveland Street poses challenges for the parade route. The average parade costs
$30,000. Assistant City Manager Jill Silverboard said the year the City held its last
Holiday parade, a fatality occurred in Plant City during a city parade; recommendations
from Risk Management would be needed if parades were reinstituted.
