RE: Development Order regarding Case FLS2003-02008 at 1307 Sunset Drive.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. George Zimmerman:
This letter constitutes a Development Order pursuant to Section 4-202.E of the Community
Development Code. On March 13,2003, the Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed your
application for Flexible Standard Development to reduce the front (east) setback along North Osceola
Avenue from 25 feet to 19 feet (to building) and reduce the side (north) setback from five feet to 4.5
feet (to building) and three feet (to pavement), as part of a Residential Infill Project under the
provisions of Section 2-203.C. The proposal includes a first and second floor addition totaling 2,216
square feet to an existing single-family dwelling. The DRC recommended approval of the application
with the following bases and condition:
Bases for approval:
1. The proposal complies with Residential Infill Project criteria under the provisions of Section 2-
203.C.;
2. The plan complies with General Applicability Criteria under the provisions of Section 3-913; and
3. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area.
Condition of Approval:
1. That a revised site plan be submitted to and approved by Staff, which shows a concrete drive and
walk placed on grade or a root prune line should the drive and walk include a base, prior to the
issuance of any permits.
I concur with the findings of the Development Review Committee and, through this letter, approve
your application for Flexible Standard Development with above condition. The approval is based on
and must adhere to the site plan and application dated received February 18,2003.
Pursuant to Section 4-303, an application for a building permit shall be made within one year of
Flexible Development approval (March 17, 2004). All required certificates of occupancy shall be
obtained within one year of the date of issuance of the building permit. Time frames do not change
with successive owners.

CHARACTER OF THE
IMMEDIA TE VICINITY: Single-family dwellings, dominate the immediate vicinity.
ANALYSIS:
The 0.14-acre site is located at the east side of Sunset Drive approximately 150 feet north of
Engman Street. It is located within a residentially developed area. The site contains an existing 877
square foot, single-story, single-family dwelling. The site, a through lot with frontage along North
Osceola Avenue and Sunset Drive, has one, existing mulch driveway along the east property line
(North Osceola Avenue).
The proposal includes a first and second floor addition totaling 2,216 square feet to an existing
single-family dwelling. The addition includes 1,867 square feet of living area and a 349 square
foot, attached garage. The proposal will result in a 2,744 square foot two-story home. The setback
reductions are to the proposed garage on the front (east) setback (19.0 feet) and reduction in the
side (north) setback to pavement (three feet) and to the proposed addition (4.5 feet). A nine-foot,
continuous hedge exists along the side (north) property line and will continue to buffer
neighboring properties from the single-family dwelling. The proposal will otherwise meet all
other Code requirements. All applicable Code criteria have been met.
CODE ENFORCEMENT ANALYSIS:
There are no outstanding enforcement issues associated with this site.

C. FLEXIBILITY CRITERIA FOR RESIDENTIAL INFILL PROJECTS IN THE LOW
MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (Section 2-203.B):
1. Single-family, detached dwellings are the only permitted use eligible for residential
infill project applications;
The proposal includes a first and second floor addition totaling 2,216 square feet to an
existing single-family dwelling. The addition includes 1,867 square feet of living area and
a 349 square foot, attached garage. The proposal will result in a 2,744 square foot two-
story home. The setback reductions are to the proposed garage on the front (east) setback
(19.0 feet) and reduction in the side (north) setback to pavement (three feet) and to the
proposed addition (4.5 feet).
2. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is
otherwise impractical without deviations from the intensity and development
standards;
The proposal takes advantage of the existing 877 square foot home and builds around it.
The proposed addition is the most logical layout. The site is unusual in that it is a through
lot with access from the non-addressed side of the site. Surrounding properties have been
similarly developed with like-sized and placed single-family homes. The placement of the
addition will also result in the redevelopment of the property while preserving two large
oak trees.
3. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project
will not materially reduce the fair market value of abutting properties;
The proposal is similar in size, scale and placement to other structures on surrounding
properties in the neighborhood. It will provide an essentially new home and will constitute
an improvement to the site and the neighborhood as a whole.
4. The uses within the residential infill project are otherwise permitted in the district;
The site is zoned Low Medium Density Residential District and the proposed single-family
dwelling addition will be in compliance with the zoning.
5. The uses within the residential infill project are compatible with adjacent lands uses;
Adjacent land uses are predominantly single-family residential dwellings. The subject site
is a single-family dwelling and that use will not change with this proposal. The proposal is
compatible with adjacent land uses.

.
6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project
will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development;
The proposal includes a significant increase in the area of an existing single-family
dwelling. The proposal will result in a home similar in character to other homes in the
neighborhood and will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development with an attractive building and new concrete driveway.
7. The design of the proposed residential infill project creates a form and function
which enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel
proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole;
The proposal includes an almost 2,000 square foot addition to an existing single-family
dwelling. The proposal will result in a home similar in size and location to other homes in
the neighborhood. In addition, the proposal will also result in the preservation of two large
oak trees on the site. It is consistent with the Low Medium Density Residential District
and other developments in the area.
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.
The proposed development will aesthetically improve the immediate area and Clearwater
as a whole by renovating a deteriorating, single-family dwelling. The reductions in setback
area similar to other properties in the area.
