The property consists of Fire Station 45 which was approved by the Community Development Board in 2102. The Fire Station, accessory buildings, and associated parking lots have been built across 10 parcels owned by the City of Clearwater along Court Street, Brownell Street, and South Madison Avenue. All 10 parcels have been tied together by a Unity of Title. The cumulative land area for these ten parcels is 2.08 acres. Parcel 15-29-15-58338-001-0110 (1140 Brownell Street) was not a part of the Fire Station 45 development plan. This parcel consisted of a detached dwelling in 2012. Since 2012, the City of Clearwater acquired the property and then removed all structures and buildings on site. The parcel is now vacant land. This parcel consists of 0.15 acres (6,578 square feet in land area). The site is located within the Downtown (D) District and the Town Lake Business Park District of the Clearwater powntown Redevelopment Plan. The Town Lake Business Park District is characterized by a mixed land use pattern of retail, office, utility/infrastructure, and nonconforming industrial uses with numerous vacant and underutilized parcels as well as a scattered concentration of single- family dwellings along Brownell Street that are adjacent to and near the project site. To the north and west of the development site axe mostly attached dwellings and an office use. To east are a laundry service business and a church. To the south, along Court Street, are retail sales and services uses as well as an automobile detailing shop.

Site History: On May 15, 2012, the overall Fire Station 45 development project (FLD2012-01002) was approved by the Community Development Board. The development plan included two separate parking lots on the north and south sides of Brownell Street with a combined total of 57 parking spaces. The north parking lot consists of 33 parking spaces. This parking is for the use of on- duty emergency personnel and administrative staff. The south parking lot has 24 parking spaces that are used by the general public. Both parking lots can be accessed via Brownell Street. The development plan was reviewed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project because 57 off-street parking spaces were proposed where between 98 and 164 parking spaces would typically be required for Governmental Uses. Development Proposal: The proposal consists of adding Parcel 15-29-15-58338-001-0110 (1140 Brownell Street) to the overall Fire Station 45 development plan. The request is to utilize this vacant land for surface parking spaces. The reconfiguration of the existing parking lot to allow for the additional parking spaces results in twelve new parking spaces which increase the overall number of parking spaces overall from 57 parking spaces to 69 parking spaces. No other changes are proposed on the property. Special Area Plan: Clearwater powntown Redevelopment Plan, Town Lake Business Park District: The Town Lake Business Park District is envisioned to be a Downtown location for office park development. The District should be redeveloped with corporate and professional offices, as well as those conducting research and/or light assembly. Incidental support commercial uses are anticipated to serve the offices in the District. Residential development or entertainment with supporting retail/restaurant uses may be considered in limited locations along major streets and if an entire block is assembled for the redevelopment project. The primary function of the Town Lake Business District is to provide employment opportunities and a location for office uses that prefer a business park setting but enjoy the benefits of being in close proximity to the Downtown Core. Excellent access and opportunities for significant lot consolidation enhance the District's redevelopment opportunities. Downtown Design Guidelines: Vehicular Circulation/Access and Parkin : The added parking area is located within the overall project site and it is not adjacent to a public right-of-way. Therefore, no screening such as a landscape buffer or a solid wall or fence three feet in height is required. To minimize any negative impact of the north parking lot on adjacent properties the City installed a beige colored six-foot in height PVC fence (BCP2014-10220) along the west and north property lines. This fence in addition to the previously approved landscape plan adequately screens the parking area from adjacent properties. Therefore, as proposed, the project is consistent with this guideline Pedestrian Circulation/Access: Community Development Board — May 19, 2015 FLD2015-03009 — Page 2 ' Cie�s ��ll.l Level II Flexible Development Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION The Guidelines state that clearly defined, safe, direct, convenient and landscaped pedestrian pathways should be provided between streets, parking areas and buildings. The plan shows an extension to the existing sidewalk and it will provide direct access from the north parking lot to the Fire Station. Therefore, as proposed, the project is consistent with this guideline. Development Parameters: Intensitv: Pursuant to the Clearwater powntown Redevelopment Plan, the m�imum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for Governmental Use within the Town Lake Business Park District is 1.0. The FAR will be 0.34 which is a reduction to the approved FAR of 0.37. Maximum Building Height: Pursuant to the Clearwater powntown Redevelopment Plan, building heights within the Town Lake Business Park District shall not exceed 75 feet. There is no change to the height of the building. The approved height is 50 feet. Minimum Off-Street Parkin�: Pursuant to CDC Section 2-903, within the Downtown (D) District, the minimum required parking for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project is determined by the Community Development Coordinator based on the specific use and/or the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Manual standards. For a comparison, CDC Section 2-903 requires governmental uses to provide parking spaces between the range of 3 and 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, which for a 32,839 square foot government use requires between 98 and 164 spaces. In 2012, the applicant stated that 51 parking spaces would be adequate for their parking needs. The justification for the parking plan was based on shift work. They stated eleven fire fighters work in three shifts within each 24 hour period; 28 administrative staff typical will be in the building during business hours; and they only expected twelve visitors during regular city business hours. The project was approved with 57 off-street parking spaces. Staff agreed with the finding that 57 off-street parking spaces will be sufficient given the way in which the property is to be used. Since the building has become operational there have been a sufficient number of parking spaces on site. The reconfiguration of the north parking lot adds 12 parking spaces increasing the number of parking spaces from 57 spaces to 69 spaces. Therefore, the increase in the number of parking spaces is supported by staff because it brings the required project closer to compliance with the minimum parking requirement. Landscapin� Pursuant to Section 3-1202.E.1., Community Development Code (CDC), one interior tree is required for every 150 square feet of required interior greenspace. The new parking area will be 8,117 square feet of additional vehicular use area which requires 811 square feet of interior greenspace. This requires five shade trees or palm equivalents. The landscape plan shows that 1,499 square feet of interior greenspace will be added with four shade trees (live oak) and three palm trees (cabbage palm) for a total of five shade trees. The parking lot reconfiguration results in the loss of one approved tree however five approved cedar trees will be relocated on site. The landscape plan was approved with 26 shade trees where only 24 trees were required. The loss of one tree, relocation of five trees and the five new shade trees will not result in loss of required landscaping; therefore, the development is in compliance with code.

This error has been corrected. Planning Review Based on the justification for reduced parking which was based on shift work and that typically only emergency personnel use the northern parking lot there is no need for a second entrance/access point to building. Rather provide a safe, direct, convenient, landscape pedestrian pathway from parking lot to the back door entrance ""SEE PAGE 26 ON DOCUMENT. ➢ Response: Entrance has been modified to provide one way circulation through the parking lots. The entrance to the existing lot was constructed at a step grade and has resulted in rutting of the asphalt pavement by vehicles entering the site. Moving the entrance to the proposed east lot will fix this situation. A sidewalk connection is now provided. Planning Review If the new access point is not within the vacated portion of Brownell Street recommend elimination of the new entrance/access point to reduce number of curb cuts along this section of Brownell Street. Already two entrances/access points for Fire Station north and south parking areas on Brownell Street. Staff recommends keep single entrance/access point to the northern parking lot replace proposed entrance/access point with continuation of the existing pedestrian walkway to building. The new curb cut creates another vehicular — pedestrian conflict. The Downtown Redevelopment Plan (vehicular circulation/access parking; pedestrian circulation /access) deems appropriate to limit interior lot access to minimize the number of curb cuts to adequately serve the site. The single entrance/access point to the northern parking lot adequately serves the site (3-102.C.3 "*SEE PAGE FLD2015-03009 -- 1140 COURT ST 4/9/2015 Page 4 26 ON DOCUMENT. ➢ Response: Entrance has been modified to provide one way circulation through the parking lots. The entrance to the existing lot was constructed at a step grade and has resulted in rutting of the asphalt pavement by vehicles entering the site. Moving the entrance to the proposed east lot will fix this situation. A sidewalk connection is now provided. Planning Review Demarcate the portion of Brownell Street that has been vacated *"SEE PAGE 26 ON DOCUMENT. ➢ Response: This is now shown.

The application shows this parcel to be 6,578 square feet (0.15 acres) for an overall acreage of 2.19 acres for the site. Using the Property Appraiser dimensions and provided site area results to 2.18 acres. The survey gives dimensions of Parcel 15-29-15-58338-001-0110 (1140 Brownell) as 45.16 feet by 145.41 feet for 6,566 square feet. Clarify and/or correct and correct throughout application material, if necessary **SEE PAGE 26 ON DOCUMENT. ➢ Response: We are unsure why there is a discrepancy between the property appraiser data and the survey data. The areas used for this calculation were based on found field monuments. The City surveying department is currently working to figure this out. Planning Review Provide proposed method of screening parking lot. Will a wall or fence or landscaping be used to screen parking lot similar materials already used. **SEE PAGE 26 ON DOCUMENT. ➢ Response: There is an existing white PVC fence around the entire site. Planning Review On landscaping plan provide the depths of proposed landscape islands. Such islands depth must be consistent with depth of the parking space depth; ➢ Response: Dimensions on the landscape islands are now provided. Provide the width of proposed landscape islands.

HERCULES AVE CLEARWATER, FL 33764 CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION NO: 26320 BRIAN A. BARKER, P.E. #56728 FEBRUARY 2015 CLEARWATER FIRE STATION #45 DRAINAGE NARRATIVE 1.0 EXI5TING CONDITIONS This project involves the demolition of a single family home on a 0.15 acre lot to be replaced with additional parking that services Clearwater Fire Station #54. The 0.15 acre lot currently sheet flows to Brownell St. (City of Clearwater right of way). The fire station was previously permitted under SWFWMD ERP 44-17957.002 and has an existing stormwater management system that includes stormwater conveyance and dry detention ponds with an outflow control structure that discharges into a City of Clearwater drainage system along S. Madison Ave. The total existing site area is 17.9 acres per the previously permitted stormwater drainage calculations. The outfall control structure has two 10" orifices at elevation 43.2' and 4235'. 2.0 PROPOSED CONDITIONS The project will add 12 asphalt parking spaces. The new contributing drainage area will be 18.06 acres. Stormwater from the 0.15 acre lot will be directed into an exisring inlet to the west and will be routed into the existing pond. 'The existing outfall control structure 10" weir at elevation 43.2' will be modified to an 8" weir at the same elevation. No modifications to the existing detention pond are proposed. 3.0 CALCULATIONS For the SWFWNID 25 year — 24 hour storm, the existing discharge for outfall control structure is 21.89 CFS with a maxim.uxn stage of 45.14'. After the modification to the weir the new discharge will be 21.54 CFS with a malcimum stage of 45.19'. 4.0 SUMMARY Attenuates the pre/post 25yr/24hr storm event Discharge rate is less than the pre-development rate Erosion control measures will be in state prior to any construction
