Re: Appeal of Decision of the Community Development Board!
PST A Application for Flexible Development Approval (#FL-00-08-34)
Dear Ms. Goudeau:
The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority is hereby filing its Notice of Appeal ofthe decision
of the Community Development Board of October 17, 2000 regarding PSTA's Application for
Flexible Development Approval for a public transit facility to be located on property at 100 North
Greenwood Avenue. Attached to this letter is the completed appeal form provided by the
Community Development Coordinator. This application/notice of appeal is being filed in
accordance with Section 4-502 of the City of Clearwater Community Development Code.
In accordance with that Code and the direction of Leslie Dougall-Sides, Assistant City
Attorney, we are providing in this letter the basis for the appeal. The basis for this appeal is that the
Community Development Board's decision cannot be sustained by the evidence and also that
decision departs from the essential requirements oflaw. PST A presented experts and other evidence
establishing that its application meets all of the applicable standards contained in the Community
Development Code. Furthermore, PST A presented expert evidence and other evidence indicating
that the opinion ofthe Clearwater Staff does not constitute competent evidence or otherwise did not
support a finding that PSTA's application did not meet the standards of the Community
Development Code. For the same reasons, the evidence presented by PSTA and the record reflects
that the Community Development Board departed from the essential requirements oflaw within the
meaning of Section 4-505C.

Pursuant to Section 4-502 of the City of Clearwater Community Development Code and the
information we have received from Attorney Dougall-Sides, we believe that we have provided all
necessary information to perfect PST A's appeal in this matter.
Sincerely yours,

Ralph, I just received from your staff a copy of the Application for Administrative Appeal only. What I need is a copy of
your entire file on the CDB application--everything you have on this case. I need to forward the entire record to DOAH.

Importance: High
I have not received any copies from either Planning or City Clerk's Office. I need a copy of both Departments'
files on the matter before the CDB in order to forward the case to DOAH. Therefore, please send me a copy
of any Clerk's file that you may have. Planning is apparently accepting the appeal applications and processing
the checks.

Leslie, do you need us to do anything for this appeal or is planning providing you the necessary
paperwork, etc. The appeal letter was received in planning along with the check. The letter was
forwarded to us, but not the check. Sec. 4-502(b) states the application for appeal shall be filed with the
City Clerk accompanied by a fee. Please provide direction. Thanks.
