7.1 Approve the Development AQreement between TrianQle Old Bay HoldinQs, LLC, (the property

The subject property is 5.18 acres (including 0.2 acres located within the Preservation (P)
Future Land Use Plan category that does not generate density). It is generally located on the
west side of North Fort Harrison Avenue and bounded by Jones Street to the south, Georgia
Street to the north and Clearwater Harbor to the west.
On November 21,2006, the Community Development Board approved a Flexible
Development application (FLD2006-05030) for the construction of a mixed-use development
consisting of 358 attached dwellings (84.43 units/acre) and 13,235 square feet of non-residential
floor area (0.5 F.A.R.). The development proposal includes the use of 109 attached dwellings and
13,235 square feet of non-residential floor area from the Public Amenities Incentive Pool of the
Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan in exchange for the provision of 358 dwelling units
(including those requested from the Pool) within the Downtown Plan area, and substantial
contributions to the Master Streetscaping and Wayfinding Plan along North Fort Harrison Avenue,
North Osceola Avenue, Jones Street and Georgia Street as well as the their intersections (valued
at approximately $3.24 million). Further, the development proposal itself is a mixed-use project
that will further the Plan's major redevelopment goals and character district vision, which is also
an eligible amenity from which to enable the use of the Pool.
The proposed Development Agreement sets forth public/private obligations. The City
recognizes the economic and aesthetic benefits that will result from private development. The
Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten (10) years and includes
the following main provisions: The property shall be developed in three (3) phases. The first
phase of the development will commit the entire 5.18 acres of the subject property and includes
the construction of 116 dwelling units and draws one (1) dwelling unit from the Public Amenities
Incentive Pool. The second phase includes the construction of 109 dwelling units and draws one
(1) dwelling unit from the Public Amenities Incentive Pool. The third phase includes the
construction of 133 dwelling units and 13,235 square feet of non-residential floor area of which
109 dwelling units and the entirety of the non-residential floor area will be drawn from the Public
Amenities Incentive Pool. The building height to the highest point of the finished flat roof surface
of the three (3) Island View condominium towers shall not exceed 180 feet above the mean site
elevation. Building height to the top of parapet of the two (2) buildings comprising Harrison Village
shall not exceed 48 feet above the mean site elevation for the Harrison Village site. The parties
acknowledge that it is conceivable that the Project will not proceed to full completion of all
phases. Accordingly, the Developer agrees that the 2.0 acre parcel of land described on Exhibit
"H" shall be dedicated to support the entitlements which comprise Phase 1, and shall remain
encumbered by the provisions of this Development Agreement notwithstanding the amendment of
the site plan for the balance of the property; No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any
phase until the streetscaping associated with that phase has been substantially completed; The
City shall consider the vacation of North Osceola Avenue and the vacation of three drainage and
utility easements and one ingress/egress easement as described in the related vacation request
(Ordinance 7769-07). The existing right-of-way shall be closed only upon completion by the

developer of the conditional requirements of the above referenced ordinance vacating said right-
of-way.
These conditions include deeding property to the City for the new 50 foot right-of-way for
Osceola Avenue, the completion of a temporary road (parallel to North Fort Harrison Avenue) for
use by emergency vehicles, and submission to the City a financial guarantee that all required
construction and improvements to the relocated North Osceola Avenue (including relocation of
utilities) will be made within two (2) years of the effective date of the vacation ordinance; Prior to
the issuance of the first building permit for the subject property, the development shall record a
deed restriction encumbering the property, which deed restriction shall be approved as to form by
the City Attorney and which will generally describe the development limitations of the
Development Agreement. The deed restriction shall be perpetual and may be amended or
terminated only with the consent of the City. The City will approve site and construction plans for
the subject property that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Concept Plan and
that meet the requirements of the Code and that go through any applicable approval process.
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of downtown redevelopment set

11. Other Items on City Manager Reports
11.1 Award a contract to Grosz & Stamper Construction Company, Inc. Bid #06-0046-PR, of
Tampa, Florida for $177,604.90, for the construction of a restroom buildinQ at the Sunshine
Limitless PlaYQround at the LonQ Center and approve a chanQe order deduct in the amount of
$32,012.95, for a net contract amount of $145,591.95 and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same; approve the transfer of $25,000 from CIP 3246 LonQ Center Pool Project; and
approve acceptinQ Qrant of $10,000 from the LonQ Center Foundation for the construction of the
restroom.
In August 2006, the City reopened and dedicated the new Sunshine Limitless Playground
at the Long Center in place of the wooden Leathers playground that had served the residents for
the past 20 years. The $400,000 playground was a partnership between the State, Long Center
Foundation, Jr. League Pinellas County, and "Make A Difference Fishing Tournament". The
playground has been an overwhelming success with well over 300 to 500 persons per day visiting
the playground. When the Playground was constructed, space was provided for a future
restroom facility. Currently, the closest restroom is in the courtyard of the Long Center, which is
over 1200 feet from the playground making it very inconvenient for parents with small children.
In FY 2005/06, the City Council accepted a $50,000 Recreational Grant from Pinellas
County for the construction of the restroom. Since that time, the Long Center Foundation has
provided an additional $10,000 for the restroom construction. This contract is for the labor and
materials to construct a concrete block restroom building of approximately 650 sq. ft., site work,
civil work including installation of a new fire hydrant, water and sanitary lines and concrete
flatwork. City staff will provide additional labor and materials to complete the landscaping, site
amenities and fencing for the project. The total base bid of $177,604.90 includes a 10%
contingency. Staff is recommending that $32,012.95 of alternate deducts and a reduction in the
contingency to 5% be valued engineered out of the contract. The items valued engineered out of
the contract include the elimination of an upper roof section, deletion of decorative aluminum
Council 2007-02-15
10
corbels, substitution of an asphalt single roof for a metal decorative roof and elimination of a
performance bond. None of these will have an adverse impact on the function of the project.
Work will commence upon award and execution of the contract and will be completed within six
months or by the middle of August 2007.
Staff is recommending that $25,000 be transferred from CIP 315-93246 Long Center Pool
Project at first quarter to provide sufficient funds for this project. These funds were made
available when the Long Center Pool Project actual costs came in less than budgeted originally.
Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Art Kader reviewed estimates and said the cost is
high because it includes underground water and utility lines.
A concern was expressed regarding this being a "want" versus a "need."
Councilmember Petersen moved to award a contract to Grosz & Stamper Construction
Company, Inc. Bid #06-0046-PR, of Tampa, Florida for $177,604.90, for the construction of a
restroom building at the Sunshine Limitless Playground at the Long Center and approve a change
order deduct in the amount of $32,012.95, for a net contract amount of $145,591.95 and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same; approve the transfer of $25,000 from CIP
3246 Long Center Pool Project; and approve accepting grant of $10,000 from the Long Center
Foundation for the construction of the restroom. The motion was duly seconded and upon the
vote being taken Councilmembers Petersen, Johnson, Jonson, and Doran voted "aye"; Mayor
Hibbard voted "nay." Motion carried.
11.2 Approve a Beach Walk Temporary parkinQ Patel Property Lease AQreement between K and
P Clearwater Estate, L.L.C. and the City of Clearwater and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same.
In order to mitigate the loss of parking in the S. Gulfview parking lot due to
commencement of Beach Walk Phase Two construction the City desires to temporarily lease
portions of the premises located at 100 Coronado Drive, Clearwater Beach, Florida, for the
purpose of temporary public vehicle parking. The term of this lease shall be month to month
commencing on February 19, 2007, and continuing until thirty (30) days after notice of termination
of the lease agreement is given by either party. A minimum of 67 parking spaces will be available
with the possibility of more being added dependent on field conditions. The City agrees to pay
the sum of $120.00 per parking space monthly due on the 1st of each month beginning March 1,
2007. Anticipated revenue is $190 per space per month.
First quarter amendments will establish for March through September the revenue budget
for the temporary lot at $90,000 (0435-00000-344562), increase other contractual services (0435-
01333-530300) for operating the temporary lot by Standard Parking by $32,000, increase rental
costs (0435-01333-544100) by $56,000 for payments to K and P with an offsetting reduction in
other contractual services (0435-01333-530300) for the closing of the north beach attended lot by
$26,000. The anticipated reduction in revenue for closing the north beach lot was included in the
original approved budget for FY07.
In response to questions, Parking Facilities Manager Tracey Bruch said the parking facility
will be open from 8:00 a.m. to sunset, seven days a week, through Labor Day, and accessible
only when a parking attendant is present.
