project on Station Square Parking Lot; authorize the sale of the Station Square Parking Lot to 55
LLC for $720,000; accept a mortgage from 55 LLC at 4% interest until paid; authorize

Summarv:
On July 14, 2003, the Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency, after a competitive
proposal process, selected the Station Square LLC development corporation as the selected entity
to negotiate for the redevelopment of property known as the Station Square Parking Lot. As a
component of the proposal, Station Square LLC also provided additional property for the proposed
project known as the Cassano property (immediately east of the Post Office and adjacent to the
Station Square Parking Lot). The total project site being proposed would total .97 acres.
The proposed project will contain a maximum of 146 residential condominiums, 15,000 square
feet of restaurant/retail space and 326 parking spaces, of which, 100 will be public parking.
The Developer will pay fair market value for the Station Square Parking Lot property, which is
$720,000. The CRA will hold a mortgage with a 4% interest rate on the property until the
developer obtains financing at which time the developer will pay the CRA $720,000 plus accrued
interest.
The Developer agrees to sell back 100 parking spaces, which will be made available to the public.
Through the interlocal agreement between the City and the CRA, the City will assume the
responsibility to purchase these spaces for $12,500 per space for a total of $1,250,000. The
source of funding for the purchase of these spaces will be from the City's Special Development
Fund from funds collected and earmarked specifically for downtown parking.
The Beck Development Corporation has estimated the market value of the project, upon
completion, is $42,000,000, which will provide an estimated additional tax increment amount of
$315,000 annually, with a City portion of $182,740 in the first full year of assessment.
City Commission
Cover Memorandum
The CRA agrees to reimburse the project impact fees of up to $460,000 over a two year period
from the final certificate of occupancy for the project. The source of funding for this
reimbursement will be CRA tax increment funding.
The Developer agrees to market the restaurant/retail space for a minimum of one year. The
range of retail uses is limited and will not include a nightclub or package alcoholic beverage store.
After one year, if not occupied by one of the permitted retail uses, the Developer may market the
retail spaces for one of the following alternate uses; tailor or seamstress, dry cleaners, financial
institution, or business offices, but not medical or veterinary offices.
The CRA agrees to construct infrastructure improvements defined as the Cleveland Street
Streetscape project which includes the redevelopment of Station Square Park.
The Developer will be allowed to use Station Square Park as a construction staging area prior to
the redevelopment of the park.
On January 20, 2004 the Community Development Board reviewed the site plan for the project
and unanimously approved the project.
