(HDA2014-07004 - 40 Devon Drive)
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 0.831-acre subject property is located on the north side of Devon Drive
approximately 150 feet east of Coronado Drive with 278.68 feet of frontage
along Devon Drive. The property spans two zoning districts including Tourist
(T) and Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and two Future Land Use
Plan (FLUP) classifications, Resort Facilities High (RFH) and Residential
Urban (RU). The subject property is also located within the Small Motel District
of Beach by Design. The portion of the site within the T District is 0.659 acres
and remainder of the site within the LMDR District constitutes 0.172 acres.
Only the portion of the site within the T District is considered with regard to
development potential such as Impervious Surface ratio (ISR), Gross Floor
Area (GFA) and density.
The immediate area is characterized by a variety of uses including overnight
accommodations, a surface parking lot, and detached dwellings. The property
to the west is currently developed with a 108-room 89-foot hotel (Pier House
Page 5
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
60), the property on the west side of Coronado Drive has been approved for a
450-room hotel (Wyndham Grand) for which a foundation permit has been
approved, the property to the south is developed with a surface parking lot and
the properties to the southeast are developed with detached dwellings.
The property is used as a 27-unit overnight accommodation use and has a
valid Business Tax Receipt (BTR-9029071). The hotel units are located within
four two-story buildings. The buildings are located on the western half of the
site. The majority of the surface parking is provided on the portion of property
zoned LMDR with the remainder on the portion of property zoned T. A
landscape buffer approximately 20 feet in width is provided along the south
property line adjacent to Devon Drive. Access to the site is provided from
Devon Drive via one two-way driveway generally centered along the south
property line.
Site History:
➢ On December 21, 2010, the Community Development Board (CDB)
approved Case FLD2010-08001 which permitted an 85-unit overnight
accommodation use using 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve
created pursuant to Beach by Design.
➢ On January 13, 2011 the City Council approved Case DVA2010-08001
allocating 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve pursuant to Beach
by Design.
➢ The associated development order for FLD2010-08001 expired on
December 12, 2012.
➢ On May 21, 2013 the CDB approved Case FLD2013-02007 which
authorized an 85-unit overnight accommodation use (hotel) including 53
units from the Hotel Density Reserve created pursuant to Beach by
Design.
➢ On June 19, 2013 the City Council approved Case DVA2010-08001A
amending the previously approved Case DVA2010-08001 allocating 53
units from the Hotel Density Reserve pursuant to Beach by Design.
This was required as the site plan exhibit associated with the
aforementioned FLD2010-08001 expired. DVA2010-08001A also
allocated 53 overnight accommodation units from the Hotel Density
Reserve.
➢ On March 31, 2013 a one-year development order extension for the
FLD2013-02007 was granted by the Community Development
Coordinator until May 21, 2015.
➢ On August 05, 2014 a two-year development order extension for the
FLD2013-02007 was granted until May 21, 2017 pursuant to House Bill
7023.
In summary, there exists an approved site plan valid until May 21, 2017 for the
construction of an 85-unit overnight accommodation use at a density of 128.98
Page 6
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
rooms per acre based only on the lot acreage zoned T District.
Development Proposal:
This proposal terminates DVA2010-08001A which previously allocated 53 hotel
units from the Reserve. The owners now propose to utilize the otherwise
permitted density of 32 units and incorporate 66 units from the Hotel Density
Reserve through Beach by Design resulting in a total of 98 units (149 units per
acre). It should be reiterated that the only portion of the site which provides
intensity of use is the 0.659 acre portion within the T District.
The building will be 100 feet (from Base Flood Elevation) to flat roof with the
parking on the first four levels. The proposed building design is described as
Contemporary Tropical, which is consistent with and complements the tropical
vernacular envisioned in Beach by Design.
The site will be accessed via a single two-way driveway located at the
southeast corner of the building along Devon Drive. There is also access to the
trash staging area at the southwest corner of the building.
The first four floors of the building will contain a parking garage as well as
miscellaneous back-of-house components such as elevator lobby and trash
holding area. In addition to parking, floors two through four also include hotel
rooms (nine per floor).The fifth floor will include a pool and pool deck (over
parking at the southeast quadrant of the building. Various other outdoor patios
are located on the east and west sides of the building at the 5th floor.
Amenities such as dining area, lounge and exercise room totaling 6,915 square
feet (12.5 percent of the total floor area of the building) are also located on the
fifth floor. The remainder of the floor will be dedicated to an upper lobby, three
hotel rooms and miscellaneous back-of-house components. Floors six through
nine will be dedicated almost entirely to hotel rooms (17 per floor).
On the portion of property zoned LMDR District, one detached dwelling is
shown on the floor plans and building elevations. The 0.172 acre property
supports one dwelling unit. The dwelling unit is proposed to have a common
wall with the east fagade of the hotel.
Consistency with the Community Development Code (CDC):
Minimum Lot Area and Width:
Pursuant to Table 2-803, CDC, the minimum required lot area for overnight
accommodations is between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet. The portion of
the subject property in the Tourist District is 28,688 square feet in area.
Pursuant to the same Table, the minimum lot width for overnight
accommodations can range between 100 and 150 feet. The lot width of this
site for the portion of the property zoned T District along Devon Drive is 4175
feet. The proposal is consistent with these Code provisions.
Page 7
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
Minimum Setbacks:
The conceptual site plan depicts setbacks of 15 feet along the front (south) to
building; five feet to building along the rear (north) and 10 feet to building along
the side (west). The proposed setbacks may be approved as part of a Level
Two (FLD) application, subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the
Community Development Code.
Maximum Height:
Section B of the Design Guidelines within Beach by Design specifically
addresses height. This section requires specific requirements for buildings
which exceed 100 feet in height.
Pursuant to Table 2-803, CDC, the maximum height for overnight
accommodations is between 35 and 100 feet. Pursuant to the Code definition
of building height, elevator equipment rooms and like mechanical equipment
enclosures are permitted to project up to 16 feet higher than the maximum
building height. The proposed building height of 100 feet to the top of the roof
deck (112 feet to top of flat roof for elevator and other mechanical equipment)
is consistent with this CDC section, definition of building height and with the
guidelines of Beach by Design.
Minimum Off-street Parking:
The 98-room overnight accommodation use requires a minimum of 118
off-street parking spaces. A parking garage located on the first four levels of
the building will provide 118 spaces. This is consistent with the applicable
Sections of the CDC.
Landscaping:
While a formal landscape plan is not required to be submitted for review at this
time, the conceptual landscape areas depicted on the site plan show that
adequate spaces for foundation landscaping will be provided along all sides of
the building. Since no perimeter landscape buffers are required in the Tourist
(T) District, the proposed landscape areas meet or exceed what is required. It
is noted, however, that flexibility may be requested/necessary as part of a
Comprehensive Landscape Program which would be reviewed at time of
formal site plan approval.
Consistency with Beach by Design:
Design Guidelines:
A review of the provided architectural elevations and massing study was
conducted and the proposed building does appear to be generally consistent
Page 8
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
with the applicable Design Guidelines established in Beach by Design. It is
noted, however, that a more formal review of these Guidelines will need to be
conducted as part of the final site plan approval process.
Hotel Density Reserve:
The project has been reviewed for compliance with those criteria established
within Beach by Design concerning the allocation of hotel rooms from the
Reserve. The project appears to be generally consistent with those criteria,
including that the development comply with the Metropolitan Planning
Organization's (MPO) countywide approach to the application of traffic
concurrency management for transportation facilities. The submitted Traffic
Impact Study concludes that traffic operations at nearby intersections and on
adjacent roadways would continue to operate at acceptable levels of service.
Standards for Development Agreements:
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements,
is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach
redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development
Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the
criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach
by Design and includes the following main provisions:
• Provides for the allocation of 66 units from the Hotel Density Reserve or a
maximum density of 148.7 units per acre;
• Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of
occupancy in accordance with Section 4-407, CDC;
• Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density
Reserve that is not constructed;
• For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the
conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and requires the recording
of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight
accommodation usage; and
• Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that
the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that
includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center.
Changes to Development Agreements:
Pursuant to Section 4-606.1, CDC, a Development Agreement may be
amended by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice and public
hearing requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual
site plans and/or architectural elevations attached as exhibits to this
Development Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406,
CDC. Minor revisions to such plans may be approved by the Community
Development Coordinator. Other revisions not specified as minor shall require
an amendment to this Development Agreement.

Page 14

City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
non-contiguous properties within Type A enclaves and pass Ordinance 8587-14 on
first reading.
On December 6, 2011, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners
initiated the negotiation process pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 171 to
establish an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) which would allow
for the voluntary annexation of non-contiguous properties in Type A enclaves
in Pinellas County (those surrounded by a City on all sides). On February 2,
2012, the Clearwater City Council adopted Resolution 12-03 agreeing to
participate in the negotiation process with the County and responding
municipalities and special districts. On December 10, 2013 the Board of
County Commissioners approved the final draft of the ISBA. A total of nine
municipalities are participating in the agreement including Clearwater, Dunedin,
Kenneth City, Largo, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, St. Petersburg, Seminole,
and Tarpon Springs.
While the agreement allows for the voluntary annexation of non-contiguous
properties in Type A enclaves, it does not allow the City to invoke existing
agreements to annex for non-contiguous properties unless the current owner
consents nor does it provide the basis for annexing an adjacent property that is
subject to an agreement to annex without the consent of the current owner of
the property. This is consistent with the provisions of Pinellas County
Ordinance 00-63 which governed annexation in Pinellas County from 2000 to
2007. The ISBA imposes a new public notice requirement that requires
participating municipalities to provide notice to the property owner seeking
voluntary annexation by certified mail prior to each reading of the ordinance.
The ISBA establishes an effective date of November 1, 2014 and would be in
effect for 20 years. It requires the City to provide data related to each property
annexed through this process every six years. Any renegotiation of the
Agreement must begin at least 18 months prior to the termination date. Each
of the participating local governments that are signatories to the ISBA must
adopt the agreement by ordinance as required by Florida Statutes
171.203(14). The Planning and Development Department recommends
approval of ISBA.

Boundary Agreement between the City of Clearwater, Florida and
Pinellas County which would allow voluntary annexations of
non-contiguous properties within Type A enclaves. The motion

10.3Approve the collective bargaining agreement as negotiated between the City of
Clearwater and CWA Local 3179 for Fiscal Years 2014/15, 2015/16, and 2016/17 and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
The current collective bargaining agreement between the City of Clearwater
and CWA Local 3179 expires on September 30, 2014. City management staff
and representatives of CWA Local 3179 reached a tentative agreement for a
new contract. The bargaining agreement was subsequently submitted by the
Union to its bargaining unit which ratified the agreement by a vote of 395 to 33
on September 11, 2014.
The agreement is a three-year contract providing for a $1500 base pay merit
increase in the first year, a 3% base merit increase in the second year, and a
2.5% base merit increase in the third year for all bargaining unit personnel who
attain a rating of Meets expectations or better on their annual performance
evaluation, with any amount that exceeds the employees' respective pay range
maximum being paid as a one-time lump sum.
The agreement also includes additional incentives for Building inspectors to
obtain multiple licenses, an increase in the annual tuition reimbursement
amount from $650 to $1200, pay for court time when subpoenaed outside of
work hours, the inclusion of domestic partners as immediate family members
for the use of sick leave and funeral leave, and administrative changes that will
provide for greater consistency in the distribution of safety shoes as well as the
assignment of meal times and overtime.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
The costs associated with the implementation of this agreement are anticipated
to be approximately as follows:
FY 2014/2015: $1,532,000 All funds $619,000 General Fund
FY 2015/2016: $1,578,000 All funds $637,600 General Fund
FY 2016/2017: $1,617,000 All funds $653,500 General Fund
TOTAL: $4,727,000 All funds $1,910,100 General Fund
A first quarter budget amendment will allocate reserves from the operating
funds to cover the cost of CWA pay increases for the current budget year.
Future budgets will include the contract costs in the proposed budgets.
Concerns were expressed that the proposed merit increase will require $2.6
million of reserves over the next four years, the CWA increase for 2013 and
2014 were 1.8% higher than the Save Our Homes CPI increase, and that

10.6Approve a recommendation by the Public Art and Design Board for the commission of
a public art installation entitled Accumulate to be installed at Fire Station 45 located at
1140 Court Street, as designed by artist Aaron Stephan for a total cost of$106,950.00
to be funded from the Main Station Fire Construction capital improvement project.
(consent)
The theme and scope of the project was determined with input from
representatives from project construction team, the Clearwater Fire department
and members of the Parks and Recreation department. The desired intent for
the artwork was to commission public artwork that serves as an artistic
enhancement to the City's fire station and best exemplifies the spirit of the
Page 18

City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
firefighter.
The Public Art and Design Board appointed a five-member Selection Panel
comprised of individuals representing specified interests and expertise as
follows:
Neale Stralow (Chair), member of the PADB
Chief Robert Weiss, Fire Department representative
Tara Kivett, construction manager and building representative
Felicia Leonard, Parks & Recreation representative
Noah Rollins, Gensler Architects and Rollins Fine Art, aesthetics
representative
A nationwide Call to Artists was issued and three artist finalists were invited to
create a site-specific proposal of artwork for the memorial. On August 11,
2014 the Selection Panel met to review the site-specific proposals and selected
the concept of artist Aaron Stephan as it best fit the theme and artistic desires
of the project stakeholders.
On September 4, 2014 the Public Art and Design Board unanimously approved
Mr. Stephan's proposal. The Board is recommending this artist's proposal of
public artwork to the City Council.
This item supports the City's Strategic Vision by providing public art for the
citizens as well as visitors to Clearwater making Clearwater a better place to
live, learn, work, visit and play. This commission represents the City's ongoing
commitment to the Public Art and Design Program through commissions of
public art for City capital improvement projects, a process that is not affected
by the mandatory to voluntary transition of the Public Art and Private
Development program.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in capital improvement project 315-91253, Main Station
Fire Construction.
Cultural Affairs Specialist Christopher Hubbard said if Council approves the
commission, staff will work with the artist to integrate the proposal into the
site, which includes modifications that will enhance the viewing of the art
piece outside of the building. Any modifications to the art piece will come
before Council for review.
Concerns were expressed that the diameter of the area where the piece will
be placed is 13 ft.; the piece, as proposed, is 10 ft. in diameter, and that it
was not likely the facility would have a high volume of visitors or a
receptionist. It was suggested that the artist be asked to rescale the piece.
Page 19
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
In response to questions, Mr. Hubbard said if this piece is denied, staff will
re-advertise the commission for this site. If Council believes the commission
of public art for this building is inappropriate for the site, the funds may be
transferred to another project, which would be subject to the City's Public
Art Commission process. Mr. Hubbard said the process includes a Call to
Artists, site selection, and artist selected from a pool of applicants. The City
Attorney said, per city ordinance, Council may deem the artwork not
necessary or appropriate. Fire Chief Robert Weiss said, with the exception
of employees, the existing fire station does not have a regular stream of
traffic. Mr. Hubbard said the Call for Artists specified for an interior piece
and included blueprints of the building. The construction manager for the
project recommended an interior art piece as there is not much space on
the site for an exterior piece. City ordinance requires 1% of construction
costs for new buildings, or renovations greater than 50%, be put towards
acquisition of public art for that site.
In response to a concern, Mr. Hubbard said it is not the intent of the artist to
squeeze the artwork into the site. Once the artist is commissioned under
contract, the proposal will be modified to fit the dimensions of the space.
A concern was expressed with the cost of artwork that will not be visible
outside of the facility.
Vice Mayor Hock-DiPolito moved to approve a recommendation by
the Public Art and Design Board for the commission of a public art

10JApprove Request for Proposal 35-14 (RFP) rankings for the operation and
maintenance of the Barefoot Beach House located at 332 S. Gulfview Blvd. and allow
staff to negotiate a lease agreement with Fields, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida, for a term
of five years with one renewable term of five years.
Page 20
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
The current agreement with Fields, Inc. to operate the Barefoot Beach House
(BBH) expires on December 31, 2014.
On June 16, 2014 the City issued RFP 35-14 to solicit interested parties in the
operation of the BBH from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019 with one
renewable term of five years.
On July 16, 2014 the City received two qualified proposals; Fields, Inc. of
Clearwater, Florida and Boucher Brothers Clearwater Beach, LLC.
On August 21, 2014, after oral presentations by both proposers the RFP
committee (Jay Ravins, Geri Lopez, Kevin Dunbar, Gina Clayton and Art
Kader) recommend the following rankings for the two proposals.
1. Fields, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida
2. Boucher Brothers Clearwater Beach, LLC.
If for some reason staff cannot negotiate an acceptable lease agreement with
Fields, Inc. then they will move forward with attempting to negotiate an
agreement with Boucher Brothers.
It should be pointed out that both proposals were excellent and the RFP
committee felt that either party would be acceptable and do an excellent job for
the City.
The proposals were ranked by the following criteria:
a. Successful experience in State of Florida and Pinellas County providing
similar services
b. Longevity of proposer providing these types of services
c. Successful experience in Florida managing and operating a public
building
d. Compensation or financial benefits to the City of Clearwater.
e. Proven financial stability and resources available to fulfill contract
f. Documented involvement and service to the community
g. Responsiveness and completeness of RFP
The ranking of both proposals were very close but the decision to rank Fields,
Inc. as number one came down primarily on the issue of the potential financial
return to the City and strong community relationships.
Fields, Inc. proposal provides for a greater opportunity for the City to make
more revenue than the Boucher Brothers proposal; while the Boucher Brothers
proposal provides for a greater guarantee to the City over the term of the
agreement.
Guarantee return from Boucher Brothers was $500,000 while Fields, Inc. was
Page 21
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes October 2, 2014
$100,008 per year. However, the percentage on beach rentals and
percentage on additional concessions revenue by Fields, Inc. was substantially
higher than Boucher Brothers. Percentage returns on beach rentals for Fields
was 50% compared to 10% for Boucher Brothers.
Formulas were developed to analyze the potential return scenarios based on
calendar year 2013 and in all scenarios where there is any growth potential in
concessions or rentals Fields, Inc. proposal yields substantially more revenue
to the City. However if there were a down turn in the economy and the gross
revenues per year decreased by 1% then the Boucher Brothers scenario would
be higher in terms of total return to the City.
Based on 2013 gross revenue the City would receive $602,979 from Fields,
Inc. and $596,767 from Boucher Brothers.
The 2014 gross revenue as of July 31 st is running 12.8% higher than in 2013;
(21.7%) in beach rentals and (3.8%) in concession sales. And, there is no
indication that this revenue will decrease with the additional new developments
coming to Clearwater Beach as well as projected growth in tourism.
While Boucher Brothers has been very active in supporting and partnering with
both non-profit and civic organizations in the areas they have business in,
contributing both time and money (over $200,000 in 2012 and 2013), they have
not contributed to any Clearwater community groups or organizations.
On the other hand Fields, Inc. has deep roots in the community and has been
a part of and contributed to the fabric of the community for over 20 year. In
addition to monetary assistance for over 30 organizations they have been
active on local boards and civic groups as well as developing and sponsoring
Sunsets at Pier 60 and Sugar Sand Festival as part of Fun N Sun Festivals.
If the ranking is approved by Council, staff will negotiate a new agreement with
Fields, Inc. to be brought back to Council for approval at a later date.

10.8Approve changes to the Clearwater Gas System utility rates to become effective for all
gas bills and services rendered on or after November 1, 2014, and pass Ordinance
8591-14 on first reading.
Black and Veatch have completed a Cost of Service and Rate Study for the
Clearwater Gas System (CGS). This study is an update of their last study
issued September 2010.
The Study includes a projection of CGS' financial position for the period 2014 -
2019 and a cost of service analysis to evaluate the cost responsibility for each
of the various classes of customers served.
Based on the results of the Study, CGS' rates are adequate for the period, and
we are actually recommending an overall $1.2 million annual decrease in base
rates. Key recommendations in the Study and Ordinance are:
• Roll the non-weather portion of Usage & Inflation Adjustment (UTA) rate
into the eligible base distribution charges and reset the normal use per
customer and Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) to current levels as
specified in the Study and Ordinance.
• Decrease the Commercial class revenues by approximately $1.2 million
by reducing distribution rates to the levels as specified in the Study and
Ordinance.
• Increase the Residential Single-Family monthly customer charge by
$2.00 and offset this with a reduction in the usage charge. The net
effect of these changes to the residential rate revenue overall is
negligible as the increase in customer charge is offset by the decrease
in distribution charge revenues. This is revenue neutral for our typical
single-family residential customer.
• Make certain changes in the propane (LP) rates, based on a
competitive analysis of local LP suppliers, as specified in the
Ordinance.
• Adopt a new pricing structure for service charge rates that establishes a
per trip charge, which includes up to 1 hour of labor plus quarter hour
rates for additional time on site beyond 1 hour.
• Make certain wording clarifications in our Ordinances to better reflect
operating policies and responsibilities.
Table 1-2 on Page 7 of the Rate Study shows the projected effect of these
recommended rate adjustments and will become CGS' basis for strategic goal
setting.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to approve changes to the

Anuszkiewicz respectfully declined.
It was stated that the Community Development Board never had a landscape
architect appointed as a member. City code states that the Board shall
include members qualified and experienced in the fields of architecture,
planning, landscape architecture, engineering, construction, planning and
land use law and real estate.

individuals appointed to quasi-judicial boards with an unexpired term in
which more than half of the term remains be considered as serving a full
term. Staff was directed to draft an ordinance for council consideration.
