EXHIBIT B
Seashell Project Description - as defined in presentations and applications
The properties are developed with The Glass House Motel at 229 South
Gulfview Boulevard, The Beach Place Motel at 301 South Gulfview
Boulevard, and a single family house and out buildings at 300 Coronado
Drive abutting the Beach Place Motel and operated under a common
ownership. The proposed project assembles these parcels into a single
development site, which incorporates the vacated Third Street right-of-
way. Under the terms of the proposed development agreement, Gulfview
Boulevard is proposed to be rebuilt to the west; this parcel seeks rights to
use the eastern 1/2 of the vacated Gulfview Boulevard right-of-way.
Surrounding land uses are: Gulfview Boulevard to the west, a single family
unit and the Spyglass Motel to the north, Legends Steakhouse to the
south and Coronado Drive to the east. Across Gulfview Boulevard, there
is a public parking lot abutting the Gulf of Mexico.
The existing buildings consist of two motels which contain 66 hotel units.
The existing properties contain several structures, all of which were built
between 1941 and 1956. Most of the value in these properties is in the
land. The present assessed value of the properties is $2,690,500. Land
values are $1,910,000. The value of the existing structures is $780,500.
The value of the new structure will be approximately $65,000,000.
Redevelopment is proposed for these obsolete structures. The proposed
use is a 250-unit full service hotel with banquet, restaurant and retail and
an 750-space(min.) parking garage which will serve both hotel users and
the general public. In order to accomplish the proposed development, the
applicants propose to implement the Gulf Walk improvement outlined in
Beach by DesiQn. This improvement will extend for approximately 1,000
feet, beginning at the exit to the existing Pier 60 parking lot and extending
southward. The Gulf Walk will provide landscaping, pedestrian and
bicycle routes and a limited amount of surface public parking, as well as a
relocated travelway for vehicles. This travelway will be built in a
curvilinear design and will include "traffic calming" features. Public parking
will be replaced in the parking garage to be built as part of the hotel. The
public will access the beach by a pedestrian overpass.

EXHIBIT 2
Trip Generation Management Program
1 . Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Seashell Resort, the
developer shall implement a Transportation System Management Plan. This Plan
shall establish practices, procedures and costs/fees for services to reduce the
number of trips to and from the site. Examples of methods, which may be
considered are:
a. Guest shuttle services/airport
b. Guest shuttle services/activities
c. Employee shuttle
d. Non-motorized modes for guests
e. Fixed route transit
f. Taxis/demand responsive transit
g. Non-motorized modes for employees
h. Staggered working hours
The plan will address the trip characteristics of resort occupancy, compare and
contrast the generation and reduction methods against non transient units and
create a supporting trip utilization projection for the Beach bv DesiQn transit
proposal from both hotel visitors and garage patrons. The plan will apply a best
methods approach. City and County transportation programs may also generate
additional methods based on special studies or intergovernmental program funding
(County-wide Gulfview Trolley System).
2. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Seashell Resort, the
developer shall submit a Hurricane Evacuation Plan to the City. This Plan shall
establish practices and procedures to be implemented when a hurricane watch is

EXHIBIT I
Appraisal Instructions
Typically, an appraisal of this type will use three appraisal methods, separately
assessing Comparable Sales Value, Income Approach, (Net Present Value of
Future Income Stream), and Replacement Cost. Furthermore, a typical appraisal
is to determine fair market value, as defined under Title XI of the Financial
Institutions, Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, 12 CFR Part
323.2.f. This definition is: The most probable price which a property should bring
in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the
buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is
not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a
sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under
conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well-informed or well-advised, and acting in
what they consider to be their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure to the open
market;
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U. S. dollars or in terms
of financial arrangements comparable thereto;
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the
property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or
sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the
sale.
There is no known open market with comparable garage sales within the Florida
West Coast market area, which precludes use of the Comparable Sales
Approach to valuation. This public garage is to be held as a commercial
condominium and will form one of the components of a mixed-use project
comprised of a hotel, restaurants, retail, and additional parking used by the other
components. The underlying land is therefore owned by the condominium, and a
determination of the value of the portion of land to be attributed to the public
garage would be subjective, at best. If the appraiser were to assume the garage
were free-standing using a Replacement Cost method, the land would have to be
valued at its Highest and Best Use, which would not be as a parking garage.
Therefore, the Replacement Method is not useful for this appraisal. The
remaining, the Income Approach, is the only reasonable method for
determination of the transaction value under these conditions.
Therefore, for purposes of calculating the fair market value of the public parking
garage to equal to the projected net operating income to be generated from the
operation percent (6%), said rate exceeding the City's cost of funds at the
Effective Date of this Agreement.
The projected net operating income shall equal the projected gross revenue
minus the operating expenses. The operating expenses shall equal the owner's
actual cost incurred if the public parking garage has been operated for a period
of one (1) year, or in the event that the garage has been operated for less than
one (1) years, the owner's budget.

The ordinance to be adopted by the City of Clearwater shall authorize the use of

View Boulevard, as well as portions of the elevated sidewalk located adjacent to the
easterly edge of the Project Site for the purpose of placing chairs and tables to operate
restaurants/cafes within such areas. Such areas may be used for the service of food
and beverages, including beer, wine and alcoholic beverages so long as the alcoholic
beverages are for on-premises consumption only. Additionally, such ordinance shall
authorize the operators of the restaurants/cafes to install access control barriers, which
are not permanent structures, around the perimeter of cafe seating areas.

CLEARWATER BEACH SEASHELL RESORT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following text and graphics are reproduced from the submittal to the
Community Redevelopment Board, and describe the public and private
project improvements.
City of Clearwater Land Development Code, Section 2-803 C
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects
Compliance with Criteria
Existing Site Conditions
The properties are developed with The Glass House Motel at 229 South
Gulfview Boulevard, The Beach Place Motel at 301 South Gulfview
Boulevard, and a single family house and out buildings at 300 Coronado
Drive abutting the Beach Place Motel and operated under a common
ownership. The proposed project assembles these parcels into a single
development site, which incorporates the vacated Third Street right-of-way.
Under the terms of the proposed development agreement, Gulfview
Boulevard is proposed to be rebuilt to the west; this parcel seeks rights to
use the eastern 1/2 of the vacated Gulfview Boulevard right-of-way.
Surrounding land uses are: Gulfview Boulevard to the west, a single family
unit and the Spyglass Motel to the north, Legends Steakhouse to the south
and Coronado Drive to the east. Across Gulfview Boulevard, there is a
public parking lot abutting the Gulf of Mexico.
The existing buildings consist of two motels which contain 66 hotel units.
The existing properties contain several structures, all of which were built
between 1941 and 1956. Most of the value in these properties is in the land.
The present assessed value of the properties is $2,690,500. Land values
are $1 ,910,000. The value ofthe existing structures is $780,500. The value
of the new structure will be approximately $65,000,000.
Redevelopment is proposed for these obsolete structures. The proposed
use is a 250-unit full service hotel with banquet, restaurant and retail and an
800-space parking garage which will serve both hotel users and the general
public. In order to accomplish the proposed development, the applicants
I

propose to implement the Gulf Walk improvement outlined in Beach bv
Desion. This improvement will extend for approximately 1,000 feet,
beginning at the exit to the existing Pier 60 parking lot and extending
southward. The Gulf Walk will provide landscaping, pedestrian and bicycle
routes and a limited amount of surface public parking, as well as a relocated
travelway for vehicles. This travelway will be built in a curvilinear design and
will include "traffic calming" features. Public parking will be replaced in the
parking garage to be built as part of the hotel. The public will access the
beach by a pedestrian overpass.

The following responses provide justification for this Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project, consistent with the City of Clearwater Land
Development Code.
1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is
otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development
standards.
The proposed Seashell Resort will maintain the character of Clearwater
Beach as a tourist destination and does not deviate from the permitted uses
in the Tourist zoning district. As presented in Beach by DesiQn,
redevelopment of existing developed properties in Clearwater Beach is not
economically feasible at the prevailing density of 40 units per acre. Beach
by DesiQn states that, "In order to justify the cost of demolishing income
producing improvements (no matter how modest), new resort development
would require a significant increase in density above 40 hotel units per acre".
Standards for land intensity and development standards do not recognize
the economics of redevelopment and the need to establish an appropriate
scale of operations to support a full-service hotel with retail, banquet,
restaurant and entertainment uses.
The levels of amenities offered at this facility will reflect back to the luxury
hotels which were built in Florida's golden age of tourist development. The
principal difference between this property and older "grand hotels" is that the
Seashell Resort will provide the room sizes, automobile accommodations
and construction standards which will be consistent with present day
development. It is not possible to provide this level of amenity, attraction
and public benefit without deviation from the intensity standards contained in
the Tourist zoning district. According to Beach by DesiQn, "The economics of
destination resorts are such that, except in very exotic locations they require
a certain critical mass of rooms in order to support the high cost of quality
improvements and amenities. Industry sources indicate that 200 to 250
rooms is a practical minimum for the number of rooms which are required to
create a successful, highly-amenitized destination resort".
2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a comprehensive
intill redevelopment project will not reduce the fair market value of abutting
properties.
The value of property depends on the highest and best use, improvements
on the site and the market factors of supply and demand. The value of
abutting properties to the north and south will not be compromised, and will
likely be enhanced, by development of the Seashell Resort. Patrons of all
nearby development will have access to covered parking spaces in the on-

site garage. In addition, a substantial public benefit will be created by the
relocation of Gulfview Boulevard, the creation of a pedestrian promenade on
the existing Gulfview Boulevard right-of-way, and the retention of surface
parking in the vicinity of existing businesses. Lush landscaping will replace
asphalt paving in the front of nearby businesses. Pedestrian access will be
enhanced. Clearwater Beach will have a supply of 250 new hotel rooms,
which will bring patrons to nearby restaurants and businesses. Existing
motels will benefit from overflow patrons of conventions and meetings, and
will also be able to offer covered parking in the public garage.
The value of abutting properties is presently depressed by the current level
of under-investment on the Seashell Resort site. According to property
appraiser values, the land for the subject parcel is worth nearly twice the
value of the improvements. The buildings on the site are about 50 years old.
The new structure will add approximately $65,000,000 in building
improvements.
3. The uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are otherwise
permitted in the City of Clearwater.
The uses on the site will be hotel (with accessory restaurant), meeting,
lounge and retail use. The public parking space is an existing established
use on Clearwater Beach. By relocating public parking into a covered
garage, patrons will benefit from less heat build-up in parked vehicles,
protection from salt and rain, and safe access to the beach via a pedestrian
overpass which traverses the motor way, promenade and bike path.
4. The uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project
are compatible with adjacent land uses.
The uses on the site are highly compatible with the adjacent land uses.
There is a restaurant located to the south of the proposed site. There is an
existing tourist
property located to the north of the proposed site. Presently the site is
developed with hotel units in several obsolete structures. This property
renewal will set a new standard of elegance for development on the southern
beach front.
5. Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the uses or mix of uses
within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are not otherwise available
in the City of Clearwater.
The developers of the Seashell Resort are the early visionaries who are
4
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
willing to enter a partnership with the City to create both public and private
benefits on Clearwater Beach. Other property owners may come forward
with alternative development proposals. However, the Seashell Resort
development has a unique location, in a strategic site within the area with
redevelopment potential. Because it is located in the midst of the existing
hotel district, it has potential spin-off benefits to other surrounding
properties. It is located on the South Beach, which experiences the highest
degree of visibility for beach-goers and the traveling public. Approval of the
development agreement, which carries the commitment to rebuild Gulfview
Boulevard, creates a significant public benefit which will provide an
enhanced community recreation resource for decades to come.
6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a comprehensive
intill redevelopment project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel
proposed for development.
There will be a significant improvement to the function and appearance of
both the public and private realm. According to Beach by Desiqn, "A key
element of Beach by Desiqn is the transformation of South Gulfview into a
local access street as a part of a great resort street/place". The public beach
front will be transformed into a world-class beach experience. The
developers will dedicate an additional 10 feet along the rear (Coronado
Drive) property line to facilitate improvements for vehicles and pedestrians.
With the creation of a beach front promenade, nearby businesses will be
able to establish a pleasing interface with pedestrians, and to install outdoor
dining, music and art.
Landscaping proposed for the Gulfview relocation project is extensive. Over
50 specimen Majool Date Palms are proposed, along with 250 Sabal Palms.
Paver tile or brick will be used for promenades, to replace the existing
cracked concrete surfaces.
7. The design of the proposed comprehensive intill redevelopment project creates
a form and function which enhances the community character of the immediate
vicinity of the proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole.
The design of the proposed Seashell Resort and surrounding property
improvements will create a form and function which enhances and redefines
the community character of the immediate vicinity. The design of the hotel
and parking structure features massing which steps back as elevation
increases, creating elegant spires along the skyline. The second level is
proposed to feature an arched pedestrian bridge from the parking structure
to the beach. This will create a feature which will be recognized by motorists
as well as pedestrians, and will provide a functional landmark for visitors and
5
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I

guests.
By integrating the public parking within the hotel structure, the community
will gain a covered parking area which is compact and functional. At the
same time, one of the objections to a parking garage - namely, that it will be
a visual intrusion - will be overcome. The front elevation of the parking
levels will contain guest rooms with balconies which overlook the Gulf of
Mexico. The fa~de will appear as a full hotel floor. Parking will be
"camouflaged" behind the building elevation, and will be hidden from beach
goers.
The design of public improvements is extensively specified in Beach by
Desian. A great deal of expertise and public input has gone into the
development of this design. It represents a detailed analysis of use, existing
conditions and community needs.
8. Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking
are justified by the benefits to community character and the immediate vicinity of
the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole.
Flexibility in regard to setbacks and height is required to make this project
possible. The creation of the public parking benefit could not be
accomplished without the six levels of internal parking. This in turn
necessitates a relaxation of height standards. In addition, the design ofthe
structure, with massing reduced as height increases, makes the increased
building height a memorable asset of the design and creates pleasing
proportions. By contrast, the appearance of buildings such as 440 West,
which maintain the same proportions for their entire elevation, create a
feeling of heaviness and have a roof line which is does not contribute to the
cityscape.
The proposed project needs relieffrom side setbacks due to the scale of the
development, the need to provide for on-site building circulation, and the
dedication of 10 feet of right of way along the rear property line. The
promenade elevation, which will be improved by the developer for property
for a distance of approximately 1,000 feet, will serve as a landscaped
gateway to the community's businesses. In addition, this promenade area
will function as a front setback with pedestrian amenities, such as a covered
walkway, pavers, landscaping and a sidewalk cafe.
9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared
parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street
parking in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.

A combination of uses is proposed to serve the needs of tourists and day
visitors. The hotel will include a multi-use parking garage with parking which
exceeds the required hotel spaces by over 200%. The provision of adequate
off-street parking is a hallmark feature of this development, and will create a
significant community benefit. The amount of parking on-site will exceed the
needs of the uses within.the hotel.
The shared parking formula documented in Division 14 of Article 3 provides
a formula to be applied when multiple users within the same development
share parking, with different users entering at different hours of the day.
Although this formula is not strictly applicable to a hotel with adequate guest
spaces as well as a significant number of public parking spaces, some of the
parking occupancy characteristics are relevant for consideration in approval
of the Seashell Resort. Beach users will largely be daytime patrons, while
restaurant patrons will principally be evening users. Entertainment uses will
encompass both the recreational beach-goer and the evening bar and dining
patrons. There is expected to be little conflict between the family going to the
beach during the day and evening users who want to come for a sunset
walk, a beverage and dinner on the beach.
10. The design of all buildings complies with the Tourist District design guidelines in
Division 5 of Article 3.
The design of the proposed Seashell Resort complies with the following
design guidelines outlined in Beach bv DesiQn:
II. B. Height
(2)
portions of any structure which exceeds one hundred feet
(1001 are spaced at least one hundred fifty feet (1501 apart.
The Seashell Resort will have two towers exceeding 100 feet
in height. The bases of these towers are separated by 110
feet.
(3)(a) between forty-two feet (421 and one hundred fifty feet (1501
the f100rplate will be no greater than 25,000 square feet:
This design constraint cannot be accommodated in the subject
parcel due to the establishment of parking on levels 2 through
7 of the structure.
Between one hundred feet (1001 and one hundred frfty feet
(1501 the f100rplate will be no greater than 10,000 square feet.
7
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
The proposed height will have varying floor plates above the
seventh level. The floor plate which will occur on levels 11
through 14 will have a floor area of approximately 9,000
square feet.
II. C. Design, Scale and Mass of Buildings
(1) Buildings with a footprint of greater than 5,000 square feet or a
single dimension of greater than one hundred (100) square
feet will be constructed so that no more than two (2) of the
three (3) building dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes
are equal in length. For this purpose, equal in length means
that the two lengths vary by less than forty-percent (40%) of
the shorter of the two (2) lengths. The horizontal plane
measurements relate to the footprint of the building.
The front elevation of the Seashell Resort has a base level
facade of approximately 280 feet by 88 feet and meets this
design criterion. Above the 88-foot level, the facade is broken
into two towers located approximately 109 feet apart.
A typical base elevation is established for levels one through
seven which features guest rooms on levels three through
seven. On the Coronado elevation, the towers are not
separated until the 11th floor level is reached. Above the
seventh (garage) level, the building mass is set back from the
building edge and landscaping is instituted.
(2) No plane of a building may continue uninterrupted for greater
than one hundred linear feet (1007. For the purpose of this
standard, interrupted means an offset of greater than five feet
(57.
Offsets are provided on the Gulfview Boulevard and Coronado
Drive elevations to exceed this standard.
(3) At least sixty-percent (60%) of any elevation will be covered
with windows or architectural decoration. For the purpose of
this standard, an elevation is that portion of a building that is
visible from a particular point outside the parcel proposed for
development.
The proposed design will comply with this requirement in the
8
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
following manner: the Gulfview Boulevard elevation will consist
entirely of common areas or guest rooms with balconies. The
Coronado Drive elevation will consist of openings to the
parking garage on levels two through seven which will have an
architectural treatment. On the north and south property
elevations, there will be large windows in guest rooms above
the seventh floor.
(4) No more than sixty-percent (60%) of the theoretical maximum
building envelope located above one story will be occupied by
a building. For the purpose of this standard, theoretical
maximum building volume is the maximum permitted building
volume that could be theoretically occupied by a building and
occupied by a building includes any portion of the maximum
possible building envelope that is not visible from a public
street.
This standard can realistically be applied only to levels above
the parking deck. For those levels, the maximum calculated
floor area ratio (per floor) is 42%. Therefore, it appears that
the hotel portion of the building will comply with this standard,
(5) The height and mass of buildings will be correlated to (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel proposed for development
and (2) adjacent public spaces such as streets and parks.
The height and mass of the Seashell Resort have been
designed to respond to the proportions of the site. The resort
will be an integral part of the adjacent public spaces, through
establishment of the promenade abutting the building and
construction of an elevated pedestrian walkway to connect the
hotel garage to the beach.
(6) Buildings may be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of
permitted uses.
The Seashell Resort will provide a variety of uses for both
hotel guests and the general public.
D.
Setbacks and Stepbacks
1. Right-of-ways
The area between the building and the right-of-way (edge of
pavement as existing and planned) should be sufficiently wide
9
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
to create a pedestrian-friendly environment. The distances
from structures to the edge of the right-of-way should be:
(1) fifteen feet (151 along arterials; and
(2) twelve feet (121 along local streets
Setbacks from rights-of-way for Seashell Resort will be
integrated with plans for the abutting streets. Where Gulfview
Boulevard is proposed to be relocated, the building will adjoin
the pedestrian promenade. Along Coronado Drive, an
additional 10' of right-of-way will be deeded to the City. The
applicant will reset the sidewalk as part of the building
construction in an appropriate location to provide an attractive
environment and a functional drop-off area for arriving guests.
The minimum sidewalk width will be 10'.
3. Stepbacks
For buildings over three stories (42 feet) in height, portions
above 42 feet should be set back at least one foot for eveI}'
two feet of additional height. ...
Architectural details that create a "human scale" may be
substituted for side and rear stepbacks.
Stepbacks in facade elevations begin above the parking
levels. These stepbacks, along with architectural details,
comply with this design guideline.
E.
Lot Coverage and Open Space
At least twenty-fIVe percent (25%) of each parcel proposed for
development should be maintained as open landscape or qualifying
hardscape. Open landscape or qualifying hardscape means
"landscaped areas, plazas and other areas covered with pavers or
other decorative treatments, but does not include off-street parking
areas or roadways.
The Seashell Resort will have a pool deck plaza of approximately
21,000 square feet. This is 28% ofthe site area. Hardscape areas at
the ground level will provide for an attractive and functional interface
with surrounding properties.

(1) at least sixty percent (60%) of the street level facades of buildings
used for nonresidential purposes which abut a public street will be
transparent.
Street level facades at the Seashell Resort are designed to exceed
this standard with windows along the extent of both Gulfview
Boulevard and Coronado Drive elevations.
(3) Building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and easily
identified.
Building entrances are proposed to have canopies, walkway
coverings and other features to make an attractive addition to the
streetscape.
G.
Parking Areas
Entrances to parking areas should be clearly marked in order to avoid
confusion.
When a parking garage abuts a public road or other public place, it
will be designed such that the function of the building is not readily
apparent except at points of access or egress.
The entrances to the Seashell Resort parking garage will be clearly
marked. The parking garage is hidden from view on the rights of way
in the following manner: Coronado Drive, architectural screening;
Gulfview Boulevard, guest rooms located in front of parking area.
H.
Signage
A complete signage program will be submitted for approval at a later
date.
I.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks along arterials and retail streets should be at least ten feet
(101 in width. All sidewalks along arterials and retail streets will be
landscaped with palm trees spaced to a maximum of thirty-five feet
(351 on centers, with "clear grey" of not less than eight feet (81.
Portions of required sidewalks may be improved for non-pedestrian
purposes including outdoor dining and landscape material, provided
that: movement of pedestrians is not obstructed; and non-pedestrian

I
improvements and uses are located on the street side of the sidewalk.
Distinctive paving patterns should be used to separate permanent
sidewalk cafe improvements from the pedestrian space on the
sidewalk.
Sidewalk widths and landscaping along Coronado Drive are provided
consistent with these guidelines. Along the Gulfview Boulevard
elevation the pedestrian promenade which will be created by the
relocation of the street will comply with these guidelines.
The balance of these guidelines (J-M) address issues which will be
determined later in the construction process (for example, materials
and colors), or are not relevant to the proposed project (fountains).
Allocation of resort units from the "pool" proposed to be created in Beach bv
Desion is contingent on meeting 14 criteria. The proposed project meets all
of these criteria; specifically:
1. A minimum of 200 hotel rooms
2. A full range of amenities
3. Access to hotel rooms through lobbies and corridors
4. A national marketing affiliation
5. Trip generation management enforceable by covenant, (airport and
resort shuttle service)
6. Mandatory hurricane evacuation when warnings are posted
7. Maximum of 10% of rooms to have kitchen facilities
8. Exceptional architectural design
9. Frontage on Gulf of Mexico
10. Minimum size of 1 acre
11. Property currently has obsolete structures
12. Development density to be increased by transfer, height restricted to
150 feet
13. Create demonstrable benefits to the City
14. Participation in Clearwater Beach assessment program (when
established).

Appraisal Instructions
In the event that the public garage is to be acquired by City from Developer, the
purchase price shall be determined as the simple average of three appraisals.
Developer and City shall each select one appraiser, and the third shall be agreed by the
parties.
Typically, an appraisal of this type will use three appraisal methods, separately
assessing Comparable Sales Value, Income Approach (Net Present Value of Future
Income Stream), and Replacement Cost. Furthermore, a typical appraisal is to
determine fair market value, as defined under Title XI of the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, 12CFR Part 323.2.f. This definition is:
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open
market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting
prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the
passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well-informed or well-advised, and acting in what they
consider their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S dollars or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold
unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted
by anyone associated with the sale.
This transaction is not arms length, in the conventional sense, and therefore
several of the traditional appraisal techniques are not appropriate. The sale will occur
because one of the parties has triggered a clause in this Development Agreement that
provides for a City purchase of the public garage at appraised value as a remedy. This
is not a typical motivation for a buyer and seller, and there will be no exposure to the
open market. In fact, there is no known open market with comparable garage sales
within the Florida West Coast market area, which eliminates the Comparable Sales
Approach to valuation. This public garage is to be held as a commercial condominium,
and will form one of the components of a mixed-use project comprised of a hotel,
restaurants, retail, and additional parking used by the other components. The
underlying land is therefore owned by the condominium, and a determination of the
value of the portion of land to be attributed to the public garage would be subjective, at
best. If the appraiser were to assume the garage were free-standing using a
Replacement Cost method, the land would have to be valued at its Highest and Best
Use, which would not be as a parking garage. Therefore, the Replacement Cost
Method is not useful for this appraisal. The remaining method, the Income Approach, is
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
the only reasonable method for determination of the transaction value under these
conditions.
Therefore, for purposes of calculating the value of the public parking garage and
setting the purchase price, the appraisers engaged for this assignment shall be
instructed to ignore Comparable Sales and Replacement Cost as methods of
determining said fair market value... The appraisers shall be instructed to compute the
transaction value using only the Income Approach.
For purposes of computing the transaction value based upon the Income
Approach, the appraisers shall be instructed to compute the value of the public parking
garage to equal the projected net operating income to be generated from the operation
of the public parking garage for the ensuing year divided by a capitalization rate of six
percent (6%), said rate exceeding the City's cost of funds at the Effective Date of this
Agreement. The projected net operating income shall equal the projected gross revenue
minus the projected operating expenses. The projected gross operating income shall
be equal to greater of the prior year's gross operating income adjusted for inflation or
the projected stabilized gross income generated from the rental of the public parking
spaces as accepted and relied upon by the project lender. The projected operating
expenses shall equal the owner's projected operating expenses, based upon the
owner's budget, if the public parking garage has been operated for less than 2 full years
at the time the appraisal is conducted or, if the owner has operated the public parking
garage for 2 years or more, the projected operating expenses shall equal the actual cost
incurred by the owner to operate the public parking garage for the immediately
preceding twelve (12) month period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
equal to the total number of public parking spaces being conveyed to the City and the
denominator of which is the total number of parking spaces located in the entire garage
facility constructed upon the Project Site. Such operating costs shall expressly exclude
all costs related to (i) debt service, (ii) returns to equity investors, (iii) non-cash charges
(e.g. depreciation), (iv) capital improvement costs and (v) capital reserves. Additionally,
the appraisers shall be instructed to ignore the impact upon revenue of any public
parking spaces proposed or contemplated to be constructed within one thousand feet
(1000') of the Project Site.

Boulevard, as well as the elevated sidewalk located adjacent to the easterly edge of the
Project Site for the purpose of placing chairs and tables to operate restaurants/cafes
