Meeting Date:11/18/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a senior exemption for long-term resident, low-income seniors under the criteria of Amendment 11 approved by the voters in
November 2012 and pass Ordinance 8522-13 on first reading.
SUMMARY:
In addition to the homestead exemption for residential homeowners, the City of Clearwater currently provides an
additional $25,000 senior exemption for qualifying senior residential homeowners. From the 2012 tax roll, the value
of property receiving this exemption is $32,056,116 and the budget impact of lost revenue from this exemption is
approximately $165,000.
Amendment 11, which was approved by the voters in November 2012, gives the City the option to adopt a senior
exemption for long-term resident, low-income seniors. The new exemption exempts 100% of the assessed value of a
senior's homesteaded property if the just value is less than $250,000; the owner is 65; the property has been the owner's
permanent residence for at least 25 years; and the owner's household income is less than the limit established for the
current low-income senior exemption (currently $27,590).
This additional senior exemption of $250,000 must be authorized by a super majority (a majority plus one) vote of the
City Council.
The deadline to establish the Amendment 11 senior exemption is December 1, 2013 for 2014.

GUIDELINES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AD VALOREM TAX EXEMPTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Article VII, Section 3, of the Constitution of the State of Florida and Section 196.1995, Florida Statutes, empowers the City to
grant Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemptions to New Businesses and Expansions of Existing Businesses after
the electors of the City, voting on the question in a referendum, authorized such exemptions. In a referendum held on
November 6, 2012, the electors of the City of Clearwater authorized the City to grant Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax
Exemptions to qualifying new and expanding businesses in the City of Clearwater.
In order to be eligible for an economic development ad valorem tax exemption, a business must pay a Qualifying Annual
Average Wage and meet the definition of either a new business or an expanding business as set forth below. If a business meets
one of these definitions, it is eligible to file this application with the City of Clearwater to seek an ad valorem tax exemption.
After the City has reviewed the application for completeness, the application is submitted to the Pinellas County Property
Appraiser for review. The Property Appraiser then files a report with the City of Clearwater, after which a public hearing is
scheduled, during which the City Council shall determine whether to adopt an ordinance granting the requested exemption.
The exemption applies only to improvements to real property and to tangible personal property. The exemption does not apply
to land on which the new or expanding business is to be located.
The action taken by the City Council exempts only the real and tangible personal property taxes that are levied by the City of
Clearwater.
PROCEDURES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AD VALOREM TAX EXEMPTION
Any applicant requesting an Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption must first submit two (2) original
applications with appropriate attachments, including Florida Department of Revenue form DR-418 to:

Clearwater, Florida 33756
Upon submittal of the completed application and form DR-418, the Economic Development & Housing Director or designee
shall review, and within ten (10) days of submission, notify the applicant of any facial deficiencies.
Before any governing body takes action on the application, a copy shall be delivered to the Property Appraiser for review.
After careful consideration of the application, the Property Appraiser shall provide a report to the City of Clearwater within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of the application.
Complete applications shall be scheduled for two (2) public hearings before City Council (“Council”) of the City of Clearwater
(“City”) no later than 45 days following receipt of a complete application. Applicant will be notified of the date and time of
each public hearing.
In making its determination as to whether to grant the Exemption, and, if granted, the duration and percentage of the
Exemption, the Council shall apply the following guidelines which include the following factors:
1) Description of project
2) Number of current and projected employees of the Business located in the City
3) Average Wage of Employees of the Business located in the City
4) Amount of Capital Investment
5) Innovative Business
6) Environmental Impact
7) Commitment to Local Procurement
8) Net positive contribution to the local economy
9) Sales factor
Attachment number 1 \nPage 2 of 8
Item # 4

In addition to the above factors, the Council may consider, in its sole discretion, any such other activity or factor that promotes
the sustainability of Economic Development within its jurisdiction.
After considering the application, the Property Appraiser’s report, the above Policy Guidelines, and such other information as it
deems relevant, Council may choose to adopt an ordinance granting the Exemption to the Applicant for up to 75 percent of the
assessed value of the qualifying property for up to 10 years.

General Information
Ad Valorem property tax exemptions can be granted to new and expanding businesses only after the voters of a city and/or county vote in a referendum to allow
that city or county to grant exemptions. Section 196.1995, Florida Statutes, requires that a referendum be held if: (1)The Board of County Commissioners or
governing authority of a municipality(city or county commission)votes to hold such a referendum,or(2)if the county or city commission receives a petition
signed by ten percent of the registered voters of the county or city.This referendum question can then be placed before the voters of a city or county at any
regular election or special election called for voting on the tax incentive referendum or for any other purpose.
If the voters authorize exemptions,a company must first meet the definitions of a new or expanding business as stated in s. 196.012(15)and(16), F.S.
The expansion must be on the same or a colocated site of the business current operations.
If a business meets one of the above definitions as a new or expanding business,it must then file this application with the county or city commission or both.
After the city or county commission receives this application,it must submit the application to the county property appraiser for review.After the property
appraiser makes the report as to the fiscal impact of granting the exemption,the county or city commission shall then adopt an ordinance in the usual manner-
granting the exemption, if it chooses to do so.
A business cannot receive exemption from school taxes or water management district taxes.Also a business must pay taxes that were voted by the voters of a
city or county to pay for bond issues and other special tax levies authorized by the voters of a city or county.
The exemption can only be for the improvements to the real property and for tangible personal property.The land on which the new or expanding business is to
be located will still be taxed and taxes must be paid on it.
The action taken by a city or county commission can only exempt the taxes paid to that governmental body.A city can only exempt its taxes;a county can only
exempt its taxes.All other taxes must be paid.

Work Session

Meeting Date:11/18/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Purchase Contract for the City purchase of real property located at 1140 Brownell Street, Clearwater, with a purchase price
of $92,000 and total expenditures not to exceed $103,350 including closing costs and demolition expenses; authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same, together with all other instruments required to affect closing; and authorize the use of General Fund reserves
to fund the costs of $103,350. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The subject property is located at 1140 Brownell Street and is currently improved with a single-family residential structure containing
768 square feet of living area. The parcel is approximately 6,561 square feet and lies among non-contiguous property assembled for
the new construction of Fire Station 45. If left in private ownership, the Fire Station campus will effectively surround this residential
structure.
If acquired, the property would be assembled with existing city land holdings and would offer the opportunity to vacate a portion of
Brownell Street adding 5,400 square feet to the city assemblage. All property within the assemblage would be contiguous.
City staff first attempted to negotiate with the property owner in 2011; discussions were unsuccessful. The negotiated purchase price
is a result of the most recent discussions with the property owner spanning several months. The purchase contract represents the
lowest purchase price that the seller would accept. An independent appraisal was performed on the property by Nash and Associates
Appraisal Services, Inc. The appraiser determined that the fair market value of the property was $55,000 as of the appraisal date of
April 27, 2013.
Funding for this contract will be provided by a first quarter budget amendment allocating General Fund reserves in the amount of
$103,350 to capital project 315-91253, Main Fire Station. The balance in General Fund reserves is approximately $17.9 million, or
15.6% of the 2013/14 General Fund operating budget. Inclusive of the $1.4 million used to fund the current operating budget, a
total of $1,801,943 of General Fund reserves has been used to date to fund expenditures in the 2013/14 operating budget.

resolution and setting forth facts showing the conveyance conforms with the requirements of local law.

before closing. Closing agent shall collect all ad valorem taxes uncollected but due through day prior to
closing and deliver same to the Pinellas County Tax Collector with notification to thereafter exempt the

third parties in occupancy of the Property shall be credited to Buyer at time of closing. Assessments for
any improvements that are substantially complete at time of closing shall be paid in full by Seller.
13. OCCUPANCY
Seller warrants that there are no parties in occupancy other than the Seller, or as otherwise disclosed
herein. If Property is intended to be rented or occupied beyond closing, the fact and terms thereof shall
be stated herein, and the tenant(s) or occupants disclosed pursuant to Paragraph 14. Seller agrees to
deliver occupancy of the Property at time of closing unless otherwise stated herein. If occupancy is to
be delivered before closing, Buyer assumes all risk of loss to Property from date of occupancy, shall be
responsible and liable for maintenance from that date, and shall be deemed to have accepted Property
in its existing conditions as of the time of taking occupancy unless otherwise stated herein or in
separate writing.
14. LEASES
Seller warrants that there are no tenants occupying the Property and that no leases exist, recorded or
unrecorded, authorizing such occupancy and any authorized tenancy or lease for use of the property
created by Seller prior to closing or prior to the expiration hereof, shall constitute a material breach of
this Contract.
15. PROPERTY CONDITION
Seller shall deliver the Property to Buyer at time of closing in its present "as is" condition, ordinary wear
and tear excepted, and shall maintain the landscaping and grounds in a comparable condition. Seller
makes no warranties other than is disclosed herein in Paragraph 21 (“SELLER WARRANTIES”) and
marketability of title. Buyer’s covenant to purchase the Property “as is” is more specifically represented
in the following paragraph.
a. As Is With Right of Inspection: Buyer may, at Buyer expense and until December 31, 2013
("Inspection Period"), conduct inspections, tests, environmental and any other investigations of the
Property Buyer deems necessary to determine suitability for Buyer's intended use. Upon Seller’s
execution hereof, Seller shall grant reasonable access to the Property to Buyer, its agents, contractors
Attachment number 1 \nPage 3 of 7
Item # 5
Page 4 of 7
and assigns for the purposes of conducting the inspections provided, however, that all such persons
enter the Property and conduct the inspections and investigations at their own risk. Seller will, upon
reasonable notice, provide utilities services as may be required for Buyer's inspections and
investigations. Buyer shall not engage in any activity that could result in a mechanics lien being filed
against the Property without Seller's prior written consent. Buyer may terminate this contract by written
notice to Seller prior to expiration of the Inspection Period if the inspections and/or investigations reveal
conditions which are reasonably unsatisfactory to Buyer. In the alternative, at the Buyer’s sole
discretion, if Seller offers to repair or otherwise remedy such conditions to Buyer satisfaction, Buyer
may accept such offer; or Buyer, at its option, may elect to accept a credit at closing of the total
estimated repair costs as determined by a licensed general contractor of Buyer's selection and
expense. If Buyer terminates this contract, and this transaction does not close, Buyer agrees, at Buyer
expense, to repair all damages to the Property resulting from the inspections and investigations and
return the Property to its present condition.
16. WALK-THROUGH INSPECTION
At a time mutually agreeable between the parties, but not later than the day prior to closing, Buyer may
conduct a final "walk-through" inspection of the Property to determine compliance with any Seller
obligations and to insure that all Property is in and on the premises. No new issues may be raised as a
result of the walk-through.
17. SELLER HELD HARMLESS
Buyer is self insured, and subject to the limits and restrictions of the Florida Sovereign immunity statute,
F.S. 768.28, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller from claims of injury to persons or
property during the inspections and investigations described in Paragraph 15(a) resulting from Buyer's
own negligence only, or that of its employees or agents only, subject to the limits and restrictions of the
sovereign immunity statute.
18. RISK OF LOSS
If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty before closing and cost of restoration does not
exceed 3% of the assessed valuation of the Property so damaged, cost of restoration shall be an
obligation of the Seller and closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this contract with restoration
costs escrowed at closing. If the cost of restoration exceeds 3% of the assessed valuation of the
improvements so damaged, Buyer shall have the option of either taking the Property "as is", together
with any insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such loss or damage, or of canceling this contract.
19. PROCEEDS OF SALE; CLOSING PROCEDURE
The deed shall be recorded upon clearance of funds. Proceeds of sale shall be held in escrow by
Seller's attorney or by such other mutually acceptable escrow agent for a period of not longer than 5
days from and after closing, during which time evidence of title shall be continued at Buyer's expense to
show title in Buyer, without any encumbrances or change which would render Seller's title unmarketable
from the date of the last title evidence. If Seller's title is rendered unmarketable through no fault of the
Buyer, Buyer shall, within the 5 day period, notify the Seller in writing of the defect and Seller shall have
30 days from the date of receipt of such notification to cure the defect. If Seller fails to timely cure the
defect, all funds paid by or on behalf of the Buyer shall, upon written demand made by Buyer and within
5 days after demand, be returned to Buyer and simultaneously with such repayment, Buyer shall vacate
Attachment number 1 \nPage 4 of 7
Item # 5
Page 5 of 7
the Property and reconvey it to Seller by special warranty deed. If Buyer fails to make timely demand
for refund, Buyer shall take title "as is", waiving all rights against Seller as to any intervening defect
except as may be available to Buyer by virtue of warranties contained in the deed. The escrow and
closing procedure required by this provision may be waived if title agent insures adverse matters
pursuant to Section 627.7841, F.S. (1987), as amended.
20. DEFAULT
If this transaction is not closed due to any default or failure on the part of the Seller, other than to make
the title marketable after diligent effort, Buyer may seek specific performance or unilaterally cancel this
agreement upon giving written notice to Seller. If this transaction is not closed due to any default or
failure on the part of the Buyer, Seller may seek specific performance. If a Broker is owed a brokerage
fee regarding this transaction, the defaulting party shall be liable for such fee.
21. SELLER WARRANTIES
Seller warrants that there are no facts known to Seller that would materially effect the value of the
Property, or which would be detrimental to the Property, or which would effect Buyer's desire to
purchase the property except as follows: (Specify known defects. If none are known, write “NONE”)
___________________
Buyer shall have the number of days granted in Paragraph 15(a) above ("Inspection Period") to
investigate said matters as disclosed by the Seller, and shall notify Seller in writing whether Buyer will
close on this contract notwithstanding said matters, or whether Buyer shall elect to cancel this contract.
If Buyer fails to so notify Seller within said time period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any
objection to the disclosed matters and shall have the obligation to close on the contract.
22. RADON GAS NOTIFICATION
In accordance with provisions of Section 404.056(8), Florida Statutes (1989), as amended, Buyer is
hereby informed as follows:
RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has
accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons
who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines
have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon
testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

Broker fee or expense due to said Broker.

Meeting Date:11/18/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Purchase Order (contract) in the amount of $860,000 to DevTech of Avon Park, FL, for the purchase of metering equipment
associated with the Clearwater Gas System (CGS) Automated Meter Reading (AMR) Project – Phase II, and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater Customer Service department has been using an Itron meter reading system for recording field readings for over
20 years. Customer Service and CGS partnered to implement Itron’s AMR technology in a pilot project in Central Pasco consisting of
1,255 meters. AMR technology has many benefits including a reduction in operating costs (principally by reduction in meter reading
labor costs), revenue cycle improvements, increased billing accuracy, reduction in theft, and field safety.
Clearwater Customer Service currently reads 19,901 gas meters, with 11,795 of these gas meters being outside of the city limits of
Clearwater. Currently these 11,795 gas meters are divided into 50 meter reading routes.
The CGS AMR project has been divided into three phases:
· Phase I (the Pilot) is complete with 1,255 meters having AMR endpoints installed,
· Phase II (which is this Agenda item funds the equipment for) will install AMR end points on the remaining 10,540 gas meters
outside the City of Clearwater. The target completion date of Phase II is by the end of this Fiscal Year 13/14.
· The remaining gas meters within the City of Clearwater will be accomplished in a Phase III during Fiscal Year 14/15. It is
anticipated that Phase III will be in conducted in unison with the Public Utilities Department. In this Phase, CGS will install
AMR endpoints on the remaining 8,106 gas meters within the city limits in parallel with Public Works installing similar
equipment on the water meters.
Sufficient funding is available in capital projects 315-96367, Gas Meter Change out Pinellas, in the amount of $850,423.02, and
315-96379, Gas Meter Change out Pasco, in the amount of $835,717.32 to fund this contract.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a Purchase Order (contract) with Phoenix Energy, Inc. in the amount of $492,774.07 for the design and installation of equipment
upgrades for the Clearwater compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station; approve a Purchase Order (contract) with ANGI, Inc. in the
amount of $311,938.55 for the direct equipment purchase of a CNG compressor assembly; approve a Purchase Order (contract) with PSB
Industries Inc. in the amount of $63,454.74 for the direct purchase of a CNG gas dryer; approve a Purchase Order (contract) with CP
Industries in the amount of $87,000 for the direct purchase of CNG storage tubes; approve the transfer of funds in the amount of $300,000
from project 315-96374 to 315-96387, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Clearwater Gas System Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) filling station opened in October 2011 to provide CNG to City
fleets that operate on natural gas. The equipment that currently powers the station consists of a primary compressor that pumps
the CNG over to the dispenser hoses. The station also has a backup compressor, which is used when the primary unit is down
for either planned maintenance or unforeseen repairs. The backup compressor only has ¼ the refueling capacity compared to
the primary unit; as a result, can cause delays when vehicles refuel off the backup unit.
RFP 10-13 was issued and Phoenix Energy was selected to design and install upgrades to the CNG station in order to resolve
this capacity issue. In addition, Phoenix Energy has recommended additional storage tubes to accommodate the growing
demands on the station.
Clearwater Gas has opted to purchase the CNG equipment as an Owner Direct Purchase (ODP) for the main compressor unit
(ANGI), Storage tubes (CP Industries) and compressor dryer (PSB Industries). All ODP components were specified by Phoenix
Energy under RFP 10-13.
Summary of upgrades:
· Replace backup with new compressor with the same refueling capacity as the primary.
· Upgrade the control system to automatically transfer to backup compressor when primary goes down.
· Install three new storage tubes to support the upgraded compressor.
· Reconfigure equipment on pad to comply with current fuel codes.

4 ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE WORK
This article deleted. See SECTION III, ARTICLE 18 – ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE
WORK.
5 EXCAVATION FOR UNDERGROUND WORK
The contractor is responsible to take all necessary steps to conduct all excavation in a manner
which provides for the successful completion of the proposed work while at all times
maintaining the safety of the workmen, the general public and both public and private property.
The contractor's methods of work will be consistent with the standard practices and requirements
of all appropriate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
these plans and specifications, the methods of safety control and compliance with regulatory
agency safety requirements are the full and complete responsibility of the contractor.
For the purposes of the Contractor's safety planning in the bidding process, the contractor is to
consider all excavation to be done in the performance of this contract to be in soil classified as
OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirements of OSHA for
excavation shoring, employee entry, location of excavated material adjacent to excavation, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a "Competent Person” to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff at the start of construction.
City staff are required from time to time to perform inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity in an excavation prepared by the contractor. City staff in conformance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are to only enter an excavation in compliance with
these OSHA standards. The City's staff reserve the option to refuse entry into the Contractor's
excavation if, in the opinion of the City's staff, the entry into the Contractor's excavation is
unsafe or does not conform OSHA requirements. If this circumstance occurs, the contractor must

Item # 8
Section IV – Technical Specifications
PDFConvert.20538.1.Contract_-_SectionIV_TECH_SPECSPage 11 of 128 5/15/2012
either provide the necessary safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
accomplishment of the City's work at the Contractor's expense.
The restoration quantities, if any, contained in the bid proposal for this contract to not contain
sufficient quantities to allow the contractor to perform excavation work using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby no shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety requirements without a shoring system. In addition to safety reasons, the
Contractor is required to use excavation and trench-shoring methods in compliance with all
safety requirements which allow the Contractor to control the amount of restoration work
necessary to complete the project.
Not more than one hundred (100) feet of trench shall be opened at one time in advance of the
completed work unless written permission is received from the Engineer for the distance
specified. For pipe installation projects, the trench shall be six (6) inches wider on each side than
the greatest external horizontal width of the pipe or conduit, including hubs, intended to be laid
in them. The bottom of the trench under each pipe joint shall be slightly hollowed, to allow the
body of the pipe to rest throughout its length. In case a trench is excavated at any place,
excepting at joints, below the grade of its bottom as given, or directed by the Engineer, the filling
and compaction to grade shall be done in such manner as the Engineer shall direct, without
compensation.
6 CONCRETE
Unless otherwise directed, all concrete work shall be performed in accordance with the latest
editions of the Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures by the Portland Cement Association, the
American Concrete Institute, and FDOT’s Standard Specifications. All appropriate testing shall
be performed according to the American Society of Testing Materials.
Unless otherwise specified, all concrete shall have fiber mesh reinforcing and have a minimum
compressive strength of 3000 p.s.i. at 28 days. The cement type shall be Type I and shall
conform to AASHTO M-85. The aggregate shall conform to ASTM C-33. All ready mix concrete
shall conform to ASTM C-94. The slump for all concrete shall be in the range of 3” to 5”, except
when admixtures or special placement considerations are required.
The Contractor shall notify the Project Inspector a minimum of 24 hours in advance of all
concrete placement.
All concrete shall be tested in the following manner:
Placement of less than 5 cubic yards (cy) shall be tested at the Engineer’s discretion. Otherwise,
for each class, for each day, for every 50 cy or part thereof exceeding 5 cy, one set of 3
compressive strength cylinders will be required (1 at 7 days and 2 at 28 days). At the discretion
of the Engineer, unacceptable test results may require the Contractor to provide further tests, as
determined by the Engineer, to determine product acceptability, or need for removal, and
compensation or denial thereof.
7 EXCAVATION AND FORMS FOR CONCRETE WORK
7.1 EXCAVATION
Excavating for concrete work shall be made to the required depth of the subgrade or base upon
which the concrete is to be placed. The base or subgrade shall be thoroughly compacted to a

requirements of AASHTO M55 (ASTM A185). Welded deformed steel wire fabric for Concrete
reinforcement shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 221 (ASTM A497). Epoxy coated
reinforcing Steel Bars shall meet ASTM 775/A77 M-86 requirements.
8.1 BASIS OF PAYMENT
Reinforcement shall not be paid for separately. The cost of such work shall be included in the
contract unit price for the item of work specified.
9 OBSTRUCTIONS
Any pipes, conduits, wires, mains, footings, driveways, or other structures encountered shall be
carefully protected from injury or displacement. Any damage thereto shall be fully, promptly, and
properly repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer and the owner thereof.
Should it become necessary to change the position of water or gas or other pipes, sewer drains,
or poles, the Engineer shall be at once notified of the locality and circumstances, and no claims
for damages arising from the delay in adjusting the pipe, sewer drains or poles shall be made.
Failure of the plans to show the location, nature or extent of any existing structures or
obstructions shall not be the basis of a claim for extra work. Any survey monument or
benchmark which must be disturbed shall be carefully referenced before removal, and unless
otherwise provided for, shall be replaced upon completion of the work by a registered land
surveyor. Any concrete removed due to construction requirements shall be removed to the
nearest expansion joint or by saw cut. Contractor shall consult Inspector for the approved means.

City of Clearwater - Erosion Control
This notice is to inform the prime contractor that the City of Clearwater holds them responsible
for soil erosion control on their site.
The City of Clearwater Engineering Department has the responsibility to minimize the amount of
soil erosion into the City’s streets, storm sewers and waterways.
The construction of a new residence or commercial site and major remodeling of an existing site
creates a potential for soil erosion. These instances are usually the result of contractors and
subcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. Then rain storms
redistribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways.
When erosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The
procedure will be as follows:
1st occurrence - Warning
2nd occurrence - $32 Re-inspection Fee
3rd occurrence - $80 Re-inspection Fee
4th occurrence - Stop Work Order
Dependent on the severity of the erosion, the City’s Engineering Department may elect to rectify
the erosion problem and charge the contractor accordingly.
The attached drawings and details are recommendations for the contractor to use as means to
support the site from eroding. The contractor may elect to shovel and sweep the street daily or on
an as needed basis. However, erosion must be held in check.
If the contractor would like to meet with a City inspector on any particular site, please contact
Construction Services at 562-4750 or Planning & Development Services at 562-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater’s Code of Ordinances requires erosion control on
all land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do so may result
in additional costs and time delays to the permit holder.
Contact Engineering Department with specific questions at 562-4750.

41.3.2.2 INSTALLATION
Proper implements, tools, and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer shall be provided and used
by the Contractor for the safe and convenient performance of the work. All pipe, fittings, valves
and hydrants shall be carefully lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of a derrick,
ropes, or other suitable tools or equipment in such a manner as to prevent damage to materials
and protective coatings and linings. Under no circumstances shall materials be dropped or
dumped in the trench.
If damage occurs to any pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants or accessories in handling, the damage
shall be immediately brought to the Engineer's attention. The Engineer shall prescribe corrective
repairs or rejection of the damaged items.
All pipe and fittings shall be carefully examined for cracks and other defects while suspended
above the trench immediately before installation in final position. Spigot ends shall be examined
with particular care as this area is the most vulnerable to damage from handling. Defective pipe
or fittings shall be laid aside for inspection by the Engineer who will prescribe corrective repairs
or rejection.
All lumps, blisters, and excess coating shall be removed from the bell and spigot end of each
pipe, and the outside of the spigot and the inside of the bell shall be wire brushed and wiped
clean and dry and free from oil and grease before the pipe is laid. Pipe joints shall be made up in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Every precaution shall be taken to prevent foreign material from entering the pipe while it is
being placed in the line. If the pipe laying crew cannot put the pipe into the trench and in place
without getting earth into it, the Engineer may require that, before lowering the pipe into the
trench, a heavy, woven canvas bag of suitable size shall be placed over each end and left there
until the connection is to be made to the adjacent pipe. During laying operation, no debris, tools,
clothing or other materials shall be placed in the pipe.
As each length of pipe is placed in the trench, the spigot end shall be centered in the bell and the
pipe forced home and brought to correct line and grade. The pipe shall be secured in place with
approved backfill material tamped under it except at the bells. Precautions shall be taken to
prevent dirt from entering the joint space.
At times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed by a
watertight plug or other means approved by the Engineer.
The cutting of pipe for inserting valves, fittings, or closure pieces shall be done in a neat and
workmanlike manner without damage to the pipe or cement lining and so as to leave a smooth
end at right angles to the axis of the pipe.
Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of laying unless directed otherwise by the
Engineer. Where pipe is laid on the grade of 10 per cent or greater, the laying shall start at
bottom and shall proceed upward with the bell ends of the pipe upgrade.
Wherever it is necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line, either in the vertical or horizontal
plane to avoid obstructions or to plumb stems; or where long radius curves are permitted, the
amount of deflection allowed shall not exceed that allowed under the latest edition of
ANSI/AWWA C600-82 and C900 81 or latest revisions.
No pipe shall be laid when, in the opinion of the Engineer, trench conditions are unsuitable.

surface as practicable, with the nozzle held approximately 3 feet from the work (except in
confined control). If the flow of material at the nozzle is not uniform and slugs, sand spots, or
wet sloughs result, the nozzleman shall direct the nozzle away from the work until the faulty
conditions are corrected. Such defects shall be replaced as the work progresses.
Guniting shall be suspended if:
1. Air velocity separates the cement from the sand at the nozzle.
2. Temperature approaches freezing and the newly placed gunite cannot be protected.
Gunite shall be applied in one or more layers to such total thickness as required to restore the
area as detailed over the original lines of the adjoining surface, unless otherwise specified. All
cavities, depressions, washouts and similar failures shall be rebuilt to original lines by use of
gunite reinforced with wire mesh. Where the cavity exceeds 4 inches in depth a layer of mesh
shall be used for each 3 inches of depth of gunite. In no case shall wire mesh be placed behind
existing reinforcement.
The time interval between successive layers in sloping vertical or overhanging work must be
sufficient to allow initial but not final set to develop. At the time the initial set is developing, the
surface shall be cleaned to remove the thin film of laitance in order to provide a perfect bond
with succeeding applications.
48.13 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS
Construction joints or day's work joints shall be sloped off to a thin, clean, regular edge,
preferably at a 45-degree slope. Before placing the adjoining work, the slope portion and
adjacent gunite shall be thoroughly cleaned as necessary, then moistened and scoured with an air
jet.
48.14 SURFACE FINISH
Nozzleman shall bring the gunite to an even plane and to well formed corners by working up to
ground wires or other guides, using lower placing velocity than normal.
After the body coat has been placed, the surface shall be trued with a thin edge screed to remove
high areas and expose low areas. Low areas shall be properly filled with concrete to insure a true,
flat surface.
After the concrete surface has been trued, the entire surface shall be given a flashcoat finish
except where a special type finish is specified on the drawings.
48.15 CURING
Curing shall be in accordance with either paragraph 3.7.1(d) or paragraph 3.7.5. of ACI 506.2 77
depending upon atmospheric condition.
48.16 ADJACENT SURFACE PROTECTION
During progress of the work, where appearance is important, adjacent areas or grounds which
may be permanently discolored, stained, or otherwise damaged by dust and rebound, shall be
adequately protected sensitive areas, when contacted, shall be cleaned by early scraping,
brushing or washing, as the surroundings permit.

48.17 INSPECTION
Because of the importance of workmanship affecting the quality of the gunite, continual
inspection during placing shall be maintained. Any imperfections discovered shall be cut out and
replaced with sound material.
48.18 EQUIPMENT
Cement Gun: The mixing and delivering equipment shall be either the vertical double chamber
type or rotary type. The upper chamber of the double chamber type shall receive and pressurize
the dry mix and deliver it to the lower chamber. The lower chamber shall force the pressurized
mix into the delivery hose by means of a feed wheel. The type of feeder utilized should be of
sufficient capacity that the lower chamber may continuously furnish all required material to the
delivery hose while the upper chamber receives the recharge. The rotary type cement gun shall
have an enlarged hopper to feed material into a rotating multiported cylinder. Material shall fall
by gravity into a port which shall then be rotated to a position in which the material is expelled
by air into a moving stream of air. All equipment must be kept in good repair. The interior of
drums, feed gearing and valves shall be cleaned as often as necessary (at least once every 8 hour
shift) to prevent material from caking on critical parts.
Nozzle: Nozzle shall be the premixing type with perforated water feed ring inside the nozzle.
The maximum length of material hose for the application of gunite shall be approximately 150
feet although it shall be permissible to use as much as 800 feet of material hose if the supply air
pressure measured at the cement gun is increased to maintain proper velocity. The following
table gives requirements for compressor size, hose size and air pressure using 150 feet of
material hose:
Comp. Cap
(cfm)
Max. Hose Dia.
(In.)
Max. Size Nozzle
(In.)
Min. Air Press.
(psi)
365 1 5/8 1 5/8 60
600 2 2 80
750 2 1/2 2 1/2 90
For each 25 feet of material hose used in excess of 150 feet, the required air pressure shall be
increased by 5 psi.
Air Compressor: Any standard type of compressor shall be satisfactory if it is of sufficient
capacity to provide, without interruption, the pressures and volume of air necessary for the
longest hose delivery. The air compressor capacity determinations shall include allowances made
for the air consumed in blowing rebound, cleaning, reinforcing and for incidental uses.
Compressor equipment shall be of such capacity so as to insure air pressures at the special mixer
capable of producing the required material velocities.
Water Supply: The water pressure at the discharge nozzle should be sufficiently greater than the
operating air pressure to assure the water is intimately mixed with the other materials. If the line
water pressure is inadequate, a water pump or pressurized tank shall be introduced into the line.
The water pressure shall be uniformly steady (nonpulsating).

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Agreement, MV055 Amendment 2, for Clean Vessel Act Grant Program
CVA11-615 funding for the purchase of a new waste disposal pump at the Clearwater Beach Marina, and the operation, maintenance
and repair of the pump out vessel, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Council approved the DEP Clean Vessel Act Grant Program Agreement MV055 on August 4, 2011, for the operation of a pump out
vessel, including maintenance and repair, in the amount of $33,188.00 (75% DEP share of project costs). The City match of $11,062.67
(25% equipment purchase, maintenance and repair) was accounted for in hourly wages and parts cost.
The DEP extended the agreement for another year as a first amendment approved by Council on October 4, 2012 under the same terms
and conditions.
This year, the DEP has added additional funding to replace the pump out at the beach marina fuel dock, and extend the period of the
agreement from one to five years for the operation of the pump out vessel, including maintenance and repair.
Grant funding has been approved in the maximum amount of $42,512.38 (an increase of $9,324.38) (75% of project costs). The City
match of $14,170.79 (25% equipment purchase, operation, maintenance and repair) will be accounted for in hourly wages and parts
cost.
Amendment 2 makes provision for the agreement to remain in effect for a period of five years from the date of the installation of the
new pump out. Project completion shall be no later than August 17, 2014.
In exchange for these considerations, the City is required to conduct operation of the pump out vessel under a Pump out Station
Operational Plan that specifies hours of operation, maintenance principles, methods in determining volume of material pumped
including the use of flow meters as may be necessary, information/educational materials on pump out operation and assurances that the
pump out vessel will be used solely for the collection of recreational boat sewage. A pump out log is required each calendar quarter.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Change Order 5 to Central Florida Contractors, Inc. of Seminole, Florida for the 2011 Sidewalk Contract (11-0012-EN) in the
amount of $200,000.00, a time extension of 360 days and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Clearwater City Council awarded a $568,337.00 contract on November 3, 2011 to Central Florida Contractors, Inc. for the 2011
Sidewalk Contract (11-0012-EN).
Previously approved change orders added $456,832 and 239 days to the contract, and approved conversion of the contract to
unit pricing only and a not to exceed amount of contract.
The Contractor has agreed to continue to honor the current contract unit pricing to provide sidewalk work at other locations
in the city. Change Order 5 requests an additional not to exceed amount adding $200,000 for a new contract total of
$1,225,169.00 and a 360-day time extension to continue work under the original contract to allow for completion
of additional work. The same terms and conditions apply. The sidewalk unit prices received in November 2011 ranged from
10-60% less than the second lowest bidder.
Existing sidewalks and ramps will be replaced to satisfy the ADA requirement that sidewalk adjacent to recently resurfaced
roadways meets current ADA standards. ADA upgrades will be addressed in the downtown core. This contract increase also
includes sidewalk removal/replacement as part of the city’s annual maintenance program.
The revised completion date will extend from November 2013 to November 2014.
Sufficient funding is available in Capital Improvement Program projects in the amounts of $150,649 in 0315-92277, Streets
and Sidewalks and $49,351, New Sidewalks for total funding of $200,000.

Block 57, LLC has approached the City with a request for exclusive use of Parking Lot 32 for a period of 15 months. The
proposed License Agreement provides for the lot to be used for worker parking and access for trucks delivering materials to
the construction site.
The City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances contains a schedule of fees, rates and charges to be paid for a temporary use
of designated parking spaces for limited special purpose. Accordingly, the proposed License Agreement requires a license
fee to be paid in advance quarterly. Salt Block 57 will be responsible for five quarterly payments of $101,633 for a total
license fee of $508,165.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the Community Development Code providing for flexibility in the placement of accessory detached garages in
attached dwelling developments of more than 100 units and pass Ordinance 8498-13 on first reading. (TA2013-09008)
SUMMARY:
The Community Development Code requires any detached accessory garage to be located behind the front edge of the
principal structure. New attached dwelling developments typically provide garages for a certain number of units and
require those garages to be located in a manner that is easy to access and convenient for residents. Flexibility may be
needed in the placement of garages due to lot size, lot configuration, environmental constraints and other site
considerations. Proposed Ordinance 8498-13 amends Section 3-201.B to allow accessory detached garages to be
located forward of the principal structure provided certain design and locational criteria are met. Below is a summary
of the main provisions of the proposed ordinance.
· Proposed ordinance only applies to developments exceeding 100 units and ones that are not located in areas
governed by special area plans/redevelopment plans or in designated activity centers or along redevelopment corridors.
· Requires garages to maintain a 25 foot front setback;
· Requires garages to be located in a manner that does not obstruct access to the dwellings;
· Requires garages to have the same colors, roof design, and architectural features of the main buildings and appear
to be habitable space from the street;
· Limits rows of detached garages in front of the principal building to 80 feet in length and requires a horizontal or
vertical modulation of two feet for every 40 feet in length; and
· Prohibits such garages to be used as habitable space e.g. converted to dwelling units.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed text amendment to the Community
Development Code is consistent with and furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the
Community Development Code as outlined in the staff report. The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed
the proposed text amendment at its meeting of October 15, 2013 and unanimously recommended approval of the
amendment.

Community Development Code Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND:
New attached dwelling developments typically provide garages for a certain number of units.
The placement of these garages needs to be conveniently located to serve certain units so they
are easily accessible by the residents. The placement of these garages may be impracticable
behind or to the sides or rear of the principal buildings based on lot size, lot configuration,
environmental constraints and other site limitations; therefore flexibility may be required to
accommodate detached accessory garages. The Clearwater Community Development Code
allows such garages but currently requires they be located behind the front edge of the principal
structures.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Ordinance No. 8498-13 amends Article 3, Division 2, Accessory Uses/Structures to
allow accessory detached garages to be located in front of the principal structures of an attached
dwelling development of more than 100 units provided design and locational criteria are met.
The proposed ordinance provides for the following provisions.
· Any site governed by an adopted special area plan/redevelopment plan or located in an
activity center, along any redevelopment corridor or view corridor identified in the
Citywide Design Structure cannot locate detached accessory garages forward of the
principal building. This provision is included to ensure that the design of new residential
development projects in these areas is pedestrian-oriented and transit supportive.
· Any detached accessory garage must maintain the required setback of 25 feet from the
front property line which is consistent with the setback required for the principal
structures. This will ensure that these garages maintain the front setback typically
established along the street for other developments. The ordinance also requires the
garages to be located in a manner that does not obstruct access to the primary building.

· Such garages must be designed as an integral part of the architectural design of the
attached dwellings (same colors, roof design, architectural details, etc.) to ensure that the
development has a cohesive appearance. From the street, the garages should appear to
contain habitable space through the use of windows, doors, and other design elements,
however the ordinance specifically prohibits the garage from being used as a residential
unit.
· Lastly, proposed Ordinance No. 8498-13 precludes long monotonous stretches of garages
by limiting the length of detached garages to 80 feet and requires either a horizontal or
vertical modulation of two feet for every forty feet in length.
CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS:
Community Development Code Section 4-601 sets forth the procedures and criteria for
reviewing text amendments. All text amendments must comply with the following:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies and
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan identified the following Goals and
Objective will be furthered by the proposed Code amendments:
Goal A.3 The City of Clearwater shall ensure that all development or redevelopment
initiatives meet the safety, environmental, and aesthetic needs of the City
through consistent implementation of the Community Development Code.
Goal A.5 The City of Clearwater shall identify and utilize a citywide design
structure comprise of a hierarchy of places and linkages. The Citywide
Design Structure will serve as a guide to development and land use
decisions while protecting those elements that make the City uniquely
Clearwater.
Goal A.6 The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible planning and
engineering practices, and urban design standards in order to protect
historic resources, ensure neighborhood preservation, redevelop blighted
areas, and encourage infill development.
The proposed amendments allow a certain amount of design flexibility for large multi-family
housing developments to locate garages in a manner that appropriately serves the residents of
the development. Criteria is included to ensure appropriate design features to break down the
mass of detached garages as well as setbacks that will provide appropriate buffering between
the street and the garages. Additionally this type of development pattern is not supported in
areas identified on the Citywide Design Structure for more intensive pedestrian-oriented and
transit supportive design.

2. The proposed amendment furthers the purposes of the Community Development Code
and other City ordinances and actions designed to implement the Plan.
The proposed text amendment will further the purposes of the Community Development
Code in that it will be consistent with the following purposes set forth in Section 1-103.
· It is the purpose of this Development Code to implement the Comprehensive Plan of the
city; to promote the health, safety, general welfare and quality of life in the city; to guide
the orderly growth and development of the city; to establish rules of procedure for land
development approvals; to enhance the character of the city and the preservation of
neighborhoods; and to enhance the quality of life of all residents and property owners of
the city (Section 1-103.A., CDC).
· Protect the character and the social and economic stability of all parts of the city through
the establishment of reasonable standards which encourage the orderly and beneficial
development of land within the city (Section 1-103.E.2., CDC).
Proposed Ordinance 8498-13 furthers the above referenced purposes by establishing
reasonable standards to support an alternative development pattern for certain large scale
residential developments. In order to enhance and preserve the character of the city and to
preserve neighborhood characteristics, the proposed amendment requires that buildings
within the multi-family development present a unified and cohesive architectural design,
provide a front setback consistent with other surrounding uses and prohibits the conversion
of detached accessory garages for residential use. Additionally the ordinance precludes the
location of such garages in front of the principal buildings in areas of the city that have been
designated for a development pattern that is more pedestrian and transit oriented.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendment to the Community Development Code is consistent with and will
further the goals of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of the Community
Development Code. Based upon the above, the Planning and Development Department
recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 8498-13 that amends the Community Development
Code.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designations of Water Drainage Feature, Drainage Feature Overlay, Residential
Low (RL), and Preservation (P) and initial Zoning Atlas designations of Low Density Residential (LDR) and Preservation (P) for 2854
Sunstream Lane (Metes and Bounds Tract 13/01 in Section 32, Township 28 N, Range 16 E); and pass Ordinances 8494-13, 8495-13
and 8496-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-08024)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 14.698-acre property consisting of one vacant parcel of land. It is located
approximately 1/3 of a mile south of Enterprise Road and approximately 1/3 of a mile west of Landmark Drive. The
applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive water, sanitary sewer, and solid waste service from the City.
The applicant also intends to develop the property with approximately thirty residential lots, but has not submitted
plans at this time. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries in all directions. It is proposed that the
property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Water Drainage Feature, Drainage Feature Overlay,
Residential Low (RL), and Preservation (P) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Preservation (P) and Low Density
Residential (LDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions
of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The closest sewer line is located in the Parkstream Avenue right-of-way, and the applicant is aware of the
additional costs to expend City sewer to this property. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of
Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district
headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be
provided to this property by Station 50 located at 2681 Countryside Boulevard. Due to the size of the property
(greater than 10 acres), an Ability to Serve Report was compiled and submitted to the Pinellas Planning Council.
The outcome of this report indicated that the City has adequate capacity to provide potable water, sanitary sewer,
solid waste, police, fire protection, emergency medical services, library, and recreation services to the subject
property. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service;
and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development
within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community
Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land
uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon
request.
The proposed Water/Drainage Feature, Drainage Feature Overlay, Residential Low (RL), and Preservation (P)
Future Land Use Map categories are consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this
property. The RL designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of five units per acre. The
Preservation (P), Water/ Drainage Feature, and the Drainage Feature Overlay designations are used to indicate
water bodies and/or drainage features on the parcel (Lake Chautauqua). The proposed zoning districts to be
assigned to the property are the Low Density Residential (LDR) and Preservation (P) Districts. The proposed use
of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the Low Density Residential (LDR) District and the
Cover Memo
Item # 15
property exceeds the district’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore
consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code;
and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north, east, west, and
south; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter
171.044.

Work Session
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:11/18/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1247 Union Street (Lot 18, Block A, Cleardun Subdivision); and pass Ordinances 8485-13,
8486-13 and 8487-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-08025)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.141-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a single-
family dwelling. It is located on the south side of Union Street, approximately 600 feet west of Betty Lane (County Road
355). The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will connect to city
sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The property is
contiguous to existing city boundaries to the south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map
designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property
by the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the fee
that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The property is located within Police
District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and
emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The
City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The
proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within
the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development
Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses
located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The
use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s
minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and
the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the south; therefore, the annexation
is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium
Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1501 Laurel Drive (Lot 1, NOB HILL subdivision); and pass Ordinances 8488-13, 8489-13 and 8490-
13 on first reading. (ANX2013-08026)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.178-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a single-family
dwelling. It is on the southeast corner of Laurel Drive and Nursery Road (County Road 474). The applicant is requesting this
annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid waste service from the City. The property is located within an enclave
and is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the south and the north. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future
Land Use Plan designation of Residential Low (RL) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. The closest sewer line is located in the Nursery Road right-
of-way. The applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees and is aware of the additional costs to extend
city sewer service to this property. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of Clearwater. The property is
located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce
Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 47 located at 1460 Lakeview
Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS
service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the
urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses
located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of five units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The
use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s
minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the
City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the south and north; therefore, the
annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of
Medium Density Residential (MDR) District for 1248 Sunset Point Road (Lots 9 and 10, South Binghampton Park Subdivision)

(ANX2013-08027)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.321-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a
personal storage building. It is located on the northwest corner of Sunset Point Road (County Road 576) and Chenango
Avenue. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to connect to city sewer when it is available in the future, as
part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The property is contiguous to existing city boundaries to
the east and to the south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential
Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions
of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary
sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the fee that must be paid in order to connect and the financial
incentives available. The property is located within Police District II and service will be administered through
the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to
this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve this
property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have
an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development
within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community
Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land
uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon
request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide
Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per
acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Medium Density Residential (MDR)
District. The existing use of the property has remained unchanged since constructed in 1965; however, this non-
residential use is not allowed in the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District. The owner has been advised
Cover Memo
Item # 18
that this would be a nonconforming use within the City and is aware of the provisions of Community
Development Code Article 6 Nonconformity Provisions which apply to this property once annexed into the City;
and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the east and the south;
therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

Meeting Date:11/18/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1962 Chenango Avenue (Lot 17, Floradel Subdivision); and pass Ordinances 8499-13, 8500-
13 and 8501-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-09028)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.144-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a single-
family dwelling. It is located on the west side of Chenango Avenue, approximately 970 feet north of Sunset Point Road
(County Road 576). The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will
connect to City sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The
property is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use
Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property
by the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the fee
that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The property is located within Police
District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and
emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The
City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The
proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within
the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development
Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses
located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The
use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s
minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and
the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium
Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1222 Palm Street (Lot 33 and East 4 feet of Lot 34, Block A, Cleardun Subdivision); and pass Ordinances
8502-13, 8503-13 and 8504-13 on first reading.(ANX2013-09029)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.151-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a single-family
dwelling. It is located on the north side of Palm Street, approximately 360 feet east of Douglas Avenue (County Road 345). The
applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will connect to City sewer when it is
available in the future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The property is contiguous to existing
City boundaries to the west and to the south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of
Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by
the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the fee that
must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The property is located within Police District II and
service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical
services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity
to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have
an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the
urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located
within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use
of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s minimum
dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west and to the south; therefore, the
annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

Work Session
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:11/18/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1946 Chenango Avenue (South 31 feet of Lot 22, Floradel Subdivision); and
pass Ordinances 8505-13, 8506-13 and 8507-13 on first reading.(ANX2013-09030)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.182-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a
single-family dwelling. It is located on the west side of Chenango Avenue, approximately 700 feet north of Sunset
Point Road (County Road 576). The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the
City, and will connect to city sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-
Sewer Project. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west. It is proposed that the property be
assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions
of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the
property by the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is
aware of the fee that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The property is
located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645
Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at
1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste,
police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and
their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development
within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community
Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land
uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.

request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide
Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per
acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the
property exceeds the district’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore
consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code;

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Development Agreement between Ted and Maria Lenart, Trustees of Lenart Family Trust UTD December 20, 1991 (the
property owner) and the City of Clearwater, providing for the allocation of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach
by Design with a change to the wording of Section 6.1.3.2 of the Development Agreement from five years from approval of the
Development Agreement to one year for obtaining a site plan approval; adopt Resolution 13-31, and authorize the appropriate officials

The owners propose to utilize the existing 64-rooms (30 of which are considered as conforming through an approved Termination of
Status of Nonconformity for density (FLD2013-08025) reviewed by the Community Development Board on October 15, 2013) while
requesting up to an additional 69 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design resulting in a total of 103 units
(150 units per acre). It should be reiterated that the maximum density permitted by Beach by Design is 150 units per acre or, for this
site, 103 units.

Nonconformity. This language should reflect that 30 of the 69 request units from the Reserve will be returned to the Reserve
thereby maintaining the maximum permitted density of 150 units per acre or a total of 103 units.
2.Recite density in Section 4.1.
3.In Section 6.1.6, replace “overnight hotel guests” with “members of the public as overnight hotel guests”.
4.Remove the reference to the timeframe which allows up to five years for obtaining development approval in Section 6.1.3.2 and
replace with one year and add language that the site plan must be approved and construction started within the timeframes as set
forth in the CDC.
5.Attach Conceptual Plan as Exhibit “B” and title that Exhibit accordingly.
6.Change “Site Plan” to “Conceptual Site Plan” in Section 6.1.3.1 and anywhere else where the intent is to refer to the Conceptual
Site Plan.
7.Add provisions regarding the provision of a bond as follows: “Developer agrees to provide a cashier’s check, a payment and
performance bond, or letter of credit in the amount of 115% of the estimated costs of the public facilities and services to be
deposited with the City to secure construction of any new public facilities and services required to be constructed by this
Agreement. Such construction shall be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project.”
The applicant did not incorporate the requested change with regard to item four, above, and is reflected in Staff’s recommendation.
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers
the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period
not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and
includes the following main provisions:
Provides for the allocation of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density Reserve or a maximum density of 150 units per acre, whichever
is less;
Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy in accordance with (CDC) Section 4-407;
Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed;
For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and requires the
recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and
Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a
hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center.
Changes to Development Agreements:
Pursuant to Section 4-606.I., CDC, a Development Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice
and public hearing requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual site plans and/or architectural elevations
attached as exhibits to this Development Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406, CDC. Minor revisions to
such plans may be approved by the Community Development Coordinator. Other revisions not specified as minor shall require an
amendment to this Development Agreement.
The Planning and Development Department is recommending APPROVAL of this Development Agreement for the
allocation of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design with a change to the wording of
Section 6.1.3.2 from five years from approval of the Development Agreement to one year for obtaining of site plan
approval.

Mr. Scott Collister,
Director of Transportation Development

11207 NMcKinley Drive
Tampa, FL 33612-6403
RE: PSTA Board Resolution #06-04 and #07-18; Transit-Friendly Design for Roadway Projects
Dear Mr. Collister,
In April of 2006, the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority Board (PSTA) passed Resolution #06-
04 relating to the ability of roadways in Pinellas County to accommodate transit. This resolution
was directed to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and all municipalities.
The underlying purpose was to incorporate public transit in roadway design in order to expand
travel choices especially on major travel corridors. On December 5, 2007, the PSTA Board
adopted another Resolution (#07-18) relating to transit service, focused on US 19 and roadway
design accommodations to support pedestrian and transit systems, including Bus Rapid Transit
systems. The focus on U.S. 19 is particularly important as the cantilevered overpass design
along this corridor will affect the provision of transit services in the future, as this is the ultimate
design for the roadway corridor.
As you know, PSTA has consistently provided the highest possible level of transit service for
Pinellas County citizens and visitors in a cost-effective manner. Over the years, transit has
expanded and ridership has grown to the point that almost 12 million passenger trips are
provided each year. The PSTA system includes more than 40 routes with one route, the Route
19 (serving U.S. Highway 19), providing almost 1.5 million passenger trips each year. The
Route 19 has become the spine of the PSTA system, intersecting with another 38 PSTA routes
to facilitate passenger travel and system connectivity.
The PSTA Board is asking that all of the agencies listed in the attached resolutions respond in a
positive and supportive manner and take steps to both protect the current PSTA system and
users, and allow for enhancement and growth in the future. PSTA cannot provide the needed
elements for the growth of transit without the support and assistance of the entire community.

AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT:
1. The PSTA Board of Directors deems it appropriate to direct and authorize a policy to ensure
