Re: harborview sign
ws ;v\ 4cy. d- 13 -01.0
Councilmembers,
Unfortunately, the CRC group although well meaning does not seem to understand that our
staff and me do not support relocating the Harborview sign for a variety of reasons that
we have shared with them. The mere fact that the sign is unused at it's present location
is beside the point. The policy direction I am operating under is that will not expand
the use of such signs on Public property.
It is clearly the Council's decision to change the policy guidance through a code
amendment. I don't recommend it, because it will surely lead to bigger issues. One of
which is to perpetuate the idea that have different sign standards for public property
than private property (I.e. Ruth Eckerd, Bright House Networks Field and the Harborview) .
My understanding is we decided the next step would be to abolish the differences or treat
the private sector the same as the public sector.
Your discussion on Monday and Thursday is the right forum to affirm current policies or
direct the creation of new ones. In any event, it will be a fun discussion.

Subject: harborview sign
Hi John...
Sheila, John and I have met with Bill Horne and city staff on different occasions to
inquire on movement of the Harborview sign. We feel it is not in the best location for
usage since the opening of the new bridge. The Beach Chamber of Commerce feels that the
sign would be better served in pier 60 Park where visitors, residents and tourists can get
up to date information on city or community events. We understand this type of signage is
no longer allowed under city code and we have no problem with that. However we are
requesting only that it be moved to a location that will serve the area better.
The Beach Chamber along with the new Downtown Development Partnership is in agreement that
it would best be served to move this signage to the beach and help promote downtown
redevelopment efforts also. City staff and Bill are against this for reasons no one wants
to deal with in their positions. Therefore they suggested we contact the commissioners in
the effort to discuss this more at Mondays Work session. I hope this item can be discussed
as a possible option for the sign which at this time is serving no purpose. I believe
1
Sheila will be in attendance along with a representative from the Downtown group to
support the moving of the sign and be called upon if needed. We hope to get yours and the
other ~~mmissioners support.
Thanks for you time and consideration in this matter and hope to see you soon.

2. Outdoor display in the "T" district may be allowed as a flexible standard.
Legal recommendation includes possible "group application"
Is there another known mechanism?
Geri has asked me to report the status of the Beach Chamber's request for "temporary
relief" of code enforcement on Clearwater Beach during construction of Beach Walk.
From what information is gathered, the conclusion is:
1. Sandwich board signs are prohibited. Temporary relief from code requirements
would call for a code amendment.
Staff does not favor ordinance changes.
3. Umbrellas are allowed in connection with sidewalk cafes only.
No exemption from code necessary unless umbrellas contain advertising, which
would then call for a code amendment.
4. Relocation of the Harborview sign is no longer in question. Moving the sign may
trigger required compliance.
This request is denied.
5. No private activity that could be construed as a sign may take place in the
right-of-way and is prohibited. Any such placement would require an ordinance
change.
It appears the only consideration may be that of allowing for outdoor display and only if
we have the tools.
Please let us know your thoughts. Ms. Cole is anxiously waiting the outcome of her
request.

*t
I do not favor ordinance changes. I think that could get problematic for us. If we can
address the construction issue in some limited way, I think that is reasonable.
Otherwise, not sure if this is the best approach.
I do think the most important issue is some limited signage alternative.
I think we could not consider if that is going to be an issue.

Importance: High
I e-mailed Pam Akin, copy Michael Delk, the following on January 12:
Looking at the different requests, the vehicle for approval is as follows:
1. "Sandwich board" signs are viewed as Prohibited signs per Sec. 3-1803G. [Portable signs]
and perhaps D. [changeable message signs, exempts menu signs]. I do not see a mechanism
in the LDC for temporary relief from such requirements. Implementation would therefore
require an ordinance amendment to allow placement on a temporary basis during a set time
period in particular geographical areas.
2. Outdoor display of merchandise is normally considered "outdoor retail sales, display,
and storage". It is only allowed as of right in the C and IRT Zoning Districts. If the
activity is characterized as "sidewalk vendor" it may be allowable in the T district as a
Flex Standard development. Perhaps a group application would be appropriate. I would
defer to Planning as to any other mechanisms available.
3. Umbrellas are allowed at least in connection with sidewalk cafes under an accessory
use analysis, see Sec. 3-201C. If they contain advertising they would be viewed as signs
and require an ordinance change, see 1. above.
4. Relocation of the Harborview sign would seem to require development review per Sec. 3-
1806B.5, which allows changeable copy signs on public property if serving a public purpose
and meeting other locational requirements. The criteria for nonresidential freestanding
signs [Sec. 3-1806B.1.] would need to be reviewed; i.e., the relocation may trigger
required compliance with current codes.
5. If any of the activity is located on public right-of-way an agreement/hold harmless
should be obtained from the businesses. Also, if construed as signs, Sec. 3-1803L.
prohibits them, and placement would require an ordinance change, see 1. above.

Jeff,
Thanks for getting everyone together to establish clear lines of agreement and
disagreement. The discussion at the worksession is between the staff and the council. I
told Sheila and the CBC group that they would have their chance to advocate their position
at the council meeting on Thursday night. The council can offer Sheila a chance to speak
at the worksession if it chooses to do so. It's their call.
I assume that you will outline the areas of agreement/disagreement to the council and
other staff representatives will assist as required to answer questions. It is clear that
the council will be asked to provide direction to the CM if it wishes to support outdoor
displays, umbrellas and relocation of the Harborview Sign. Thanks for everyone's hard
work.

Subject: Clearwater Beach Chamber Sign Code Amendment Request during Beachwalk
Construction
Councilmembers,
Last Thursday, I met with Sheila Cole, Jack Heckert and Craig West to discuss their
request to amend the sign code to accommodate additional signage Clearwater Beach
businesses need during Beachwalk construction. Specifically, they requested (1) Sandwich
Boards, (2) Outdoor Displays, (3) Umbrellas w/Advertising and (4) Relocation of the
Harborview sign to the Pier 60 area.
The Clearwater Beach Chamber (CBC) group has meet with the Development Services and
Planning staff several times regarding the requested sign changes in the past and arrived
at some compromises, but other staff priorities have delayed forward progress. Ongoing
sign litigation caused the first delay and staff reluctance to do more code changes caused
the second. Staff does not support the proposed sign changes, but that will not keep the
CBC request from moving forward unless the council does not support it as well.
To bring some resolution to the issue, I committed to the CBC group the following things:
a. Jeff Kronschnabl would contact Sheila Cole and arrange a meeting with the staff to
identify the sign changes that staff agreed to (and would agree to ) support in previous
meetings.
b. The results of this meeting would be reviewed by Asst City Attorney Leslie Dougal-
Sides and any changes that needed to be made would be shared with all parties. Leslie's
legal review of the requested sign changes will form the basis for the city position.
~ c. We will discuss the recommended CBC sign code changes at
~ and give the CBC group a chance to present their request to the
16th council meeting. The council is expected to give direction
or not.
the Feb 13th worksession
city council at the Feb
to "prepare" code changes

The CBC group feels this a fair process and I believe this is a good way to resolve what
has been ongoing requests from business owners to make sign codes on the beach for a long
time. These requested changes are not specifically a result of Beachwalk construction.
e
As a final note, the CBC group understood that we do not as a matter of practice relax
code enforcement in Clearwater. While this may (???) have been a practice in Clearwater's
history, I have not condoned this practice as City Manager. Therefore, I have taken this
solution off the table as a way to make the requested sign code changes. Your
understanding in these matters is appreciated.
