The applicant, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County, proposes to redevelop the subject property with a 51 -lot subdivision for detached dwellings providing affordable housing for families; 5. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing infrastructure, including the streets, water mains and sanitary sewer lines, where such location of this infrastructure requires flexibility with minimum lot area, minimum lot width and minimum front setback standards; 6. The proposed Stevens Creek Drive will be a private street 28 feet in width and will be maintained by a homeowners association; 7. A tot lot (Tract B) is proposed as an amenity to this subdivision, located between Lots 41 and 42, and will be maintained by a homeowners association; 8.

The proposal includes a reduction to the front setback from 25 to 19 feet, but additional front setback will be provided to the garage door to preclude a vehicle parked in the driveway from overhanging the public sidewalk; 10. The Preliminary Plat for this subdivision complies with the design standards of the Community Development Code. A Final Plat will be required to be approved and accepted by City Council prior to recording in the public records; and 11. There is no outstanding Code Enforcement issue associated with the subject property. Conclusions of Law: 1. That the development proposal is consistent with the Standards as per Tables 2 -301.1 and 2 -304 of the Community Development Code; 2. That the development proposal is consistent with the Flexibility criteria as per Section 2 -304.G of the Community Development Code; 3. That the development proposal is consistent with the General Standards for Level Two Approvals as per Section 3 -913 of the Community Development Code; and 4. That the development proposal is consistent with the requirements for Preliminary Plats in Sections 4 -704, 4 -705 and 4 -709 of the Community Development Code. Conditions of Approval: 1. That the following minimum setbacks apply to this subdivision: a. front: 19 feet to porches and additional setback be provided to the garage doors to preclude vehicles parked in driveways from overhanging the public sidewalks; b. side: five feet; c. rear: 10 feet; 2. That the maximum building height be 30 feet: 3. That black barrels stored exterior to the dwelling and outdoor mechanical equipment be screened from view from adjacent streets and properties; 4. That, based. on the provisions of Section 3 -804.E and the prevailing lot pattern of the surrounding area, the maximum height of the fence proposed along the rear of Lots 10 -17 be three feet. Additionally, gates must be installed in the fence for Lots 10, 11, 16 and 17 to allow for the mowing of grass within the rights -of -way by the abutting lot owners; 5. That sidewalks be provided on both sides of Stevens Creek Drive; and 6. That, prior to the issuance of a building permit to construct the subdivision improvements, plans be revised to comply with all requirements of General Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Stormwater Engineering, Traffic Engineering and the Land Resource Specialist. Pursuant to Section 4-407, an application for a building permit shall be made within one year of Flexible Development approval (May. 19, 2010). All required certificates of occupancy shall be obtained within two years of the date of issuance of the initial building permit. The building_ permit must be obtained within six months of the initial permit application. This timeframe to obtain the initial building permit may be extended for an additional six months for cause by the Community Development Coordinator. Time frames do not change with successive owners. The Community Development Coordinator may grant an extension of time for the Flexible Development approval for a period not to exceed one year and only within the original period of validity. V May 20, 2009 Spoor — Page 3 The issuance of this Development Order does not relieve you of the necessity to obtain any building permits or pay any impact fees that may be required. In order to facilitate the issuance of any permit or license affected by this approval, please bring a copy of this letter with you when applying for any permits or licenses that require this prior development approval. Additionally, an appeal of a Level Two approval (Flexible Development) may be initiated pursuant to Section 4 -502.13 by the applicant or by any person granted party status within 14 days of the date of the CDB meeting. The filing of an application/notice of appeal shall stay the effect of the decision pending the final determination of the case.

Betty Lane Ronald - have been reviewing the resubmittal package for the above referenced applications and find the following missing from the package or revisions to the plans or documents are necessary: 1. Submit the Preliminary Plat application. 2. The color rendered site plan (color map) submitted is incorrect, as the layout does not match that of the redesign per DRC comments. Revise. 3. There was discussion regarding comments from both departments at DRC for the provision of sidewalks along both sides of the street, where we said we would work with you regarding the location of the sidewalk. The revised plans submitted omit sidewalks from the frontages of Lots 1 -2, 6 -8, 13 -15 and 20 -27 with a note that such sidewalks "will be bonded." This is different than our discussion. Sidewalks will need to be constructed along the lot frontage of each lot as part of the building permit process. Plans need to be revised to show such sidewalks will be constructed along the lots mentioned above. 4. Unclear of the lot width at the front setback line for Lots 9, 12,16, 19 and 39. Revise Sheet 3. 5. Lots 1, 27, 28, 34, 41 and 42 are corner lots, where structures are required to meet front setbacks along the street frontages and side setbacks otherwise. Unclear of what setback is proposed for these corner lots and if you are requesting any reductions. Clarify. 6. Need to revise for f, g and h. Additionally, revise Required /Allowed for Side Setback to 0 -5, (not 0 -10'). Sheet 3 - Site Data - f. Under "Setbacks" for "Front ", need to address under the Proposed column what is proposed for corner lots. Also, . change the Required /Allowed to "10 -25" ; g. Under "Setbacks" for "Rear ", change the Required /Allowed to "0 -10 "'; h. Under "Height ", change the Required /Allowed to "30 -50 "; 7. Response to Residential Infill Project criteria #7 - The existing land use designation for the property of Residential Urban permits a maximum density of 7.5 dwelling units per acre, not the 15 du/acre indicated. Revise. 8. Revise the Preliminary Plat Sheet 2 for the following: Lot areas for Lots 2 -10 are greater than indicated, since Tract B was eliminated and the lot lines have been extended to the north overall parcel line. Recalculate lot areas and revise. These applications are being placed on the May 19, 2009, CDB agenda but the above needs to be submitted by Friday, May 1, 2009 (one original and 14 copies). Please see Sherry Watkins so you can collate the above revisions into the application packages. Wayne M.

Owner /Applicant: Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County Representative: Ronald E. Spoor, Land Development Manager, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas Coun Address: 1888 N. Betty Lane CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: (1) Flexible Development approval to permit a 51 -lot subdivision for detached dwellings in the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District with a minimum lot area of 4,019 square feet, a minimum lot width of 40.9 feet (measured at the front setback line) and a reduction to the front setback requirement from 25 to 19 feet (to building), as a Residential Infill Project, under the provisions of Section 2- 304.G; and (2) Preliminary Plat approval for a 51 -lot subdivision for detached dwellings. CURRENT ZONING: Medium Density Residential (MDR) District CURRENT FUTURE LAND Residential Urban (RU) and Preservation (P) USE CATEGORY: PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Vacant (formerly a 6i -unit attached dwelling complex) Proposed Use: 51 -lot subdivision for detached dwellings EXISTING North: Medium Density Residential (MDR) District and Pinellas SURROUNDING ZONING County AND USES: Detached dwellings South: Medium Density Residential (MDR) District Detached dwellings and Attached dwellings East: Institutional (I) District Public school West: Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District and Pinellas County Detached dwellings Community Development Board — May 19, 2009 FLD2009- 03012/PLT2009 -00001 —Page 1 of 7 ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 8.89 acres is located on the south side of Sunset Point Road between N. Betty Lane and Pineland Drive. The property was previously developed with a 61 -unit attached dwelling complex (Homer Villas), which was demolished in July 2008. While the buildings were demolished, the roadways within the property have been retained for use in the proposed subdivision. There is a jurisdictional wetland area for Spring Branch Creek along the northern property line with a Preservation (P) land use designation. The properties to the north within the City are zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) District and are developed with detached dwellings. Properties to the west within the City are zoned Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District and are developed with detached dwellings. A majority of the properties to the north and west of the subject property are presently located within unincorporated Pinellas County and are developed with detached dwellings. Properties to the south are zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) District and are developed with seven detached dwellings fronting on N. Betty Lane and an attached dwelling complex (1770 N. Betty Lane). Property to the east is zoned Institutional (1) District and is developed with a public school. Development Proposal: Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County proposes to redevelop the subject property with a 51 -lot subdivision for detached dwellings. This project will provide affordable housing for families. To accomplish such affordability, the applicant is striving to reduce the cost of the development by providing reasonably sized lots to accommodate typical Habitat dwellings and by utilizing the existing infrastructure, including the streets, water mains and sanitary sewer lines. The location of this existing infrastructure requires reductions to development standards within the MDR District, including minimum lot area, minimum lot width and minimum front setbacks. The proposed Stevens Creek Drive will be a private street 28 feet in width and will be maintained by a homeowners association. Public sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of the street within easements. Existing water and sewer lines are either located within the proposed private street right -of -way or are located adjacent to the right -of -way within proposed utility easements. Forty-two (42) of the 51 lots will take driveway access from Stevens Creek Drive. Five lots (Lots 29 — 33) will front on and take driveway access from N. Betty Lane. Four lots (Lots 48 — 51) will front on and take driveway access from Pineland Drive. A tot lot (Tract B) is proposed as an amenity to this subdivision, located between Lots 41 and 42, and will be maintained by a homeowners association. The redevelopment of this property with a detached dwelling subdivision will be consistent with the majority of the surrounding development, which are primarily detached dwellings. This detached dwelling subdivision will be compatible with this surrounding developed character and represent an upgrade from the prior attached dwelling complex that was demolished in 2008. The redevelopment of the subject property is otherwise impractical without the proposed deviations to minimum lot area, minimum lot width and front setbacks, and such flexibility will be a benefit to the surrounding area and the City in general by providing affordable housing for families. The Preliminary Plat for this subdivision complies with the design standards of the Community Development Code. A Final Plat will be required to be approved and accepted by City Council prior to recording in the public records. Impervious Surface Ratio (I.S.R.): In the Residential Urban (RU) land use category, the allowable I.S.R is 0.65. Compliance with this requirement will need to be demonstrated on the site plan with each dwelling when applying for building permits. Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to the Community Development Code (CDC) Table 2 -302 for the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District, the Minimum Standard Development for detached dwellings requires a minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet. This Community Development Board — May 19, 2009 FLD2009- 03012/PLT2009 -00001 — Page 2 of 7 proposal is being processed as a Residential Infill Project due to the front setback reduction of 19 feet, in order to place an adequately sized dwelling on these lots. Under the Residential Infill Project use, there are no minimum lot area or lot width requirements. The applicant is proposing a minimum lot area of 4,019 square feet and a minimum lot width (measured at the front setback line) of 40.9 feet. To produce affordable housing in this project, the applicant is striving to reduce the cost of the development by providing reasonably sized lots to accommodate typical Habitat dwellings and by utilizing the existing infrastructure, including the streets, water mains and sanitary sewer lines. The depth of the lots on the south side of the southern leg of Stevens Creek Drive is limited to 95 feet, and where the developable area is further limited by an existing 15 -foot wide drainage and utility easement along the southern property line. The lots on this southern side are proposed at a lot width of 42 feet, producing the 4,019 square -foot minimum lot area requested under this approval. There are only 12 lots, or 23 percent, out of the total 51 lots in this subdivision with a lot area less than the normally required 5,000 square feet. Lot width is measured at the front setback line. There are 30 out of the 51 total lots (58.8 percent) with lot widths less than the normally required 50 -foot width. Most lots are internal to the subdivision, but five lots (9.8 percent; Lots 29 — 33) do front on N. Betty Lane. Lots in the surrounding area are developed with a minimum 50 -foot lot width. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to Table 2 -302 for Minimum Standard Development, the minimum setbacks in the MDR District for detached dwellings are 25 -foot front, five -foot side and 10 -foot rear. The proposal includes a reduction to the front setback from 25 to 19 feet, which requires processing this application as a Residential Infill Project. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing infrastructure, including the streets, water mains and sanitary sewer lines, which limit the depth of lots on the south side of the southern leg of Stevens Creek Drive. The proposed front setback of 19 feet is to porches on the front of the dwellings, where the front of the garage will be setback approximately 27 feet in order to provide one parking space within the driveway so that vehicles do not hang over the public sidewalk. Given these circumstances, and the purpose to provide affordable housing, the reduction to the front setback is appropriate. The applicant has indicated on the plans that many of the lots will be able to meet the required front setback of 25 feet, depending on the floor plan chosen. Maximum Building Height: The maximum building height in the MDR District for detached dwellings is 30 feet. Due to the proposed reduced front setback for this subdivision, this application is being processed as a Residential Infill Project, where the maximum building height is listed at 30 — 50 feet. The applicant has indicated that this proposal will maintain a maximum building height of 30 feet, which is consistent with the MDR District standards. Minimum Off - Street Parking: Two parking spaces are required for detached dwellings in the MDR District. The proposal is to provide two parking spaces for each dwelling, one in the garage and one in the driveway, which is consistent with Code requirements. Mechanical Equipment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3- 903.H.1, air conditioning and similar mechanical equipment is exempt from the side and rear setback requirements, but such equipment must be screened from view from streets and adjacent property. Outside condensing units for air conditioners will be placed adjacent to the side or rear of the dwellings. Screening requirements will be reviewed during the building permit process. Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3- 1908.A, all on -site utility lines must be placed underground. This proposal will comply with this requirement. Solid Waste: Each dwelling will be provided a black barrel for solid waste disposal. The applicant has indicated these black barrels will be stored exterior to the dwelling. CDC Section 3- 201.D.1 of the Community Development Board — May 19, 2009 FLD2009- 03012/PLT2009 -00001 — Page 3 of 7 Community Development Code requires these black barrels to be screened from view from streets and adjacent properties. Provisions for walls, fences or other appropriate screening materials will be required with the construction of each dwelling. Si a e: There are presently no proposed subdivision signs for this property. Should any such signs be desired, appropriate provisions in the Sign Code must be met. Code Enforcement Analysis: There is no outstanding Code Enforcement issue associated with the subject property. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS AND CRITERIA: The following table depicts the consistency of the detached dwelling subdivision proposal with the standards as per CDC Tables 2 -301.1 and 2 -304: 1 See analysis in Staff Report Community Development Board — May 19, 2009 FLD2009- 03012/PLT2009 -00001 — Page 4 of 7 Standard Proposed Consistent Inconsistent Density 7.5 du/acre 5.74 du/acre X Minimum N/A 4,019 square feet X1 Lot Area Minimum N/A 40.9 feet (measured at the front X1.

Show on the plat an additional 10 -foot drainage easement along the existing 7.5 -foot drainage and utility easement existing along the north property line of proposed Lot 48. This is to allow for maintenance of the proposed 24 -inch storm pipe and storm manholes to be installed in this area. 2. Provide a drainage easement along the rear of Lots 17 and 18 to provide for installation and maintenance of the proposed swale in this area. Note: Extend dashed line shown on Lot 17 to south property line of Lot 18 to establish east side of easement. 3. Extend the lot lines of Lots 1 - 10, inclusive, to the north property line of the subdivision thereby eliminating Tract B. 4.

Stormwater: No Comments Solid Waste: No Comments Development Review Agenda - Thursday, April 2, 2009 - Page 23 DRC Action Agmda 1.1 Y' . L Traffic Engineering: 1 . No issues. Planning: 1 . Need to indicate what the dashed lines are for on Lots 22 and 23 (apparently a tree preservation easement) and need to indicate the width of such on each lot (since they are a different width on each lot). 2. Need to indicate the width of, and the purpose of, the proposed easements along the fronts of lots along Stevens Creek Drive. Additionally, revise these easement lines to a dashed line (reads as a solid line). 3. On Lots 1, 2 and 3 there are two sets of east/west dashed lines that are unclear. One is for a proposed drainage easement, but the other is undefined (not shown on site plan sheets). 4. Proposed 10 -foot easement on Lots 17 and 18 - Is this split equally on each lot (five feet on each lot)? If so, dimension such on each lot. 5. Based on the drainage flow indicated on Sheet 6, shouldn't there be a drainage easement at the rear of Lot 18, possibly as an extension of the diagonal proposed drainage easement line at the rear of Lot 17? 6. Lot 17 - Unclear of the purpose of the north/south dashed line parallel with the west property line (doesn't shown on the site plan set). 7. Lot 16 - Unclear of the dashed line "box" close to the rear of the north side of this lot ( ?). 8. Lot 16 - Dimension the width of the proposed drainage easement at the rear of this lot (20 feet ?). 9. Unclear of the purpose of Tract B and whom will own/maintain it. 10. Proposed Tot Lot - This is not a developable lot. Should this be identified as Tract C? Whom is to own/maintain this? 11 . Proposed drainage and utility easement on Lots 29 -35 - Stated as 20 feet wide, but: a. it does not appear of equal width on Lots 32 -34 versus Lot 35. Dimension the widths on each lot; and b. the easement on Lots 29 -31 is not 20 feet in width. Need to dimension the width at the rear of these lots. 12. Lots 3 -8 and Lot 10 - Revise the 50 -foot drainage and utility- easement line to a dashed line (reads as a solid line). 13. West side of Lots 29 -34 and east side of Lot 35 - There are double easement dashed lines adjacent to each other. Revise. 14. Lot 41 - There are two easement dashed lines along the rear. It appears only the northern easement line is necessary. Revise. 15. Based on Sheet 3 of the site plan, it appears there is a proposed sewer easement at the rear of Lots 48 -50 not shown on the plat.
