8.1 Continued from 6/1/16: Approve the 2016 Affordable Housing Inventory List pursuant
to requirements of Chapter 166.0451, Florida Statutes and adopt Resolution 16-14.
The 2006 Legislature amended Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, adding Section
166.0451 entitled "Disposition of municipal property for affordable housing."
The state statute includes that the governing body of each municipality must
review the proposed affordable housing inventory list at a public hearing, and
may revise the list at the conclusion of the hearing. Following the public
hearing, the local governing body must adopt a resolution that includes an
inventory list of such property deemed appropriate for affordable housing
development.
On June 6, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution 13-10, the 2013
Affordable Housing Inventory to identify only two city-owned parcels of land
appropriate for use as affordable housing. The City has acquired five additional
parcels of land making it a total of seven parcels to which it has title as
appropriate for use as affordable housing.
Section (1) of the statutory amendment requires that every three years each
municipality prepare an inventory list of all real property within its jurisdiction to
which the municipality holds fee simple title that is appropriate for use as
Page 6

affordable housing. Therefore, the 2016 Affordable Housing Inventory List
includes the address and legal description of each property, and specifies
whether the property is vacant or improved.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to approve the 2016 Affordable
Housing Inventory List pursuant to requirements of Chapter
166.0451, Florida Statutes. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.

8.2 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low
(RL) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR)
District for 2191 Bell Cheer Drive and 2130 Pleasant Parkway, and pass Ordinances
8901-16, 8902-16 and 8903-16 on first reading. (ANX2016-04013)
These voluntary annexation petitions involve two parcels of land totaling 0.667
acres. Both parcels are occupied by single family dwellings and are located
generally south of Druid Road, east of South Hercules Avenue, west of South
Belcher Road and north of Lakeview Road. The applicants are requesting
annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City and will be
connected to the city sanitary sewer as part of the Belcher Area Sanitary
Sewer System Extension Project. The properties are contiguous to existing city
limits along at least one property boundary. It is proposed that the properties
be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and a
Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexations are consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
• The properties currently receive water service from Pinellas County.
Collection of solid waste will be provided to the properties by the City.
The applicants have paid the City's sewer impact fee in full, and will be
connected to the City sanitary sewer system by the contractor soon.
The properties are located within Police District II and service will be
administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 North
McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be
provided to this property by Station 49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive.
The City has adequate capacity to serve these properties with sanitary
sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. Water service will

continue to be provided by the County. The proposed annexations will
not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service;
and
• The proposed annexations are consistent with and promote the
following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of
Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban
service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City's tax base through

Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for

• The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is
consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of these
properties. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a
density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned
to the properties is Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The uses
of the subject properties are consistent with the uses allowed in the
District and the properties exceed the District's minimum dimensional
requirements. The proposed annexations are therefore consistent with
the Countywide Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan and
Community Development Code; and
• The properties proposed for annexation are contiguous to existing city
limits along at least one property boundary. Therefore, the annexations
are consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

10. City Manager Reports
10.1Support the SUN Trail funding to construct the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail
Overpass, authorize the City Manager to commit to the transfer of necessary city
right-of-way/property for the project, authorize the City Manager to execute a
Memorandum of Understanding for maintenance of the overpass upon completion,
and adopt Resolution 16-16.
Trails are an essential part of the City of Clearwater's multi-modal
transportation and recreation network.
Page 18
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes June 16, 2016
In 2004, the City identified both the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail and the
Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail, Bayshore segment, as trails needed in the
bicycle and pedestrian master plan. Subsequently both the trails have been
included in the Pinellas County long range transportation plan and have been
funded and completed.
The Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail currently terminates on the south side
of SR 60 (Gulf-to-Bay Blvd.) connecting to the Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail,
Bayshore segment, on the north side utilizing a signalized pedestrian
crosswalk. The current configuration slows down motor vehicle traffic on SR
60 (Gulf-to-Bay Blvd). The proposed overpass project will provide a safer
alternative to the current at grade crossing for the trail users as well as
enhancing the traffic flow of motor vehicles on SR 60 (Gulf-to-Bay Blvd.).
The Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail Overpass has been identified as a
priority by the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization in their long
range transportation plan and on their transportation alternatives list. The City
of Clearwater will be submitting an application for SUN Trail funding to
complete the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail Overpass. Although the
funding source does not require a match, FDOT will require that the City
maintain the overpass on completion.
The application requires demonstration of city support.
The Florida Department of Transportation requires a letter demonstrating the
City's commitment to convey the necessary city right-of way and/or city owned
property that will be necessary for the overpass structure. The property, 3198
Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, was acquired last year by the City of Clearwater to
serve this purpose.
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar
said the City will be required to provide basic maintenance, similar to the
maintenance required at the Courtney Campbell Bridge. DOT would
address the structural maintenance of replacement of the bridge. The
overpass design is not known yet, staff anticipates the bridge would
incorporate a ramp or a helix. If elevators are installed, it is anticipated
that DOT would maintain the elevators. Mr. Dunbar said the City would
address debris and trash collection.
Vice Mayor Jonson moved to support the SUN Trail funding to
construct the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail Overpass,
authorize the City Manager to commit to the transfer of necessary
city right-of-way/property for the project, authorize the City
Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding for
maintenance of the overpass upon completion. The motion was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.

Pinellas County will be submitting an application for SUN Trail funding to
complete the Pinellas Trail Loop. The Pinellas Trail Loop provides

portion of the Pinellas Trail is completed with the exception of several
segments, including one in Clearwater's jurisdiction in the Countryside area.
The application requires demonstration of community support.

10.3Ratify and confirm a new lease agreement with Steven M. Hasley, d/b/a REMAX
Action First for a lease term of five years with a five-year extension option and
approve the Clearwater Marina Parking Permit Office Project.
Staff is requesting the City approve a new lease for Steven M. Hasley, d/b/a
REMAX Action First for a longer lease term in exchange for giving up 179
square feet of office space so a parking permit office can be constructed.
The City of Clearwater Parking System has requested space in the marina
building in order to build a parking office so they will be able to better serve Lot
43. This office would allow them to sell parking permits and also give them a
parking office centrally located on Clearwater Beach. Several options for the
parking office were explored including building a separate structure. A separate
structure for an office would not be cost effective as FEMA codes would
require the building be on stilts at an estimate total project cost of$300,000.00.
As an alternative, building an office in existing space in the marina building will

City Council Meeting Minutes June 16, 2016
cost$38,828.43.
The Parking System will be taking over the marina office storage room (161
square feet) and Remax's conference room (179 square feet) to build out 340
square feet of office space. The project is being completed by Certus Builders
who are an engineer of record with the City of Clearwater and construction
work commenced May 31, 2016.
Remax has agreed to give up the 179 square feet in exchange for a longer
lease term. They currently have a 3-year lease term with a 1-year extension
but the new lease offers a 5-year lease term with the option for a 5-year
extension. The annual rent will be reduced by $2,346.69 to account for the loss
of 179 square feet.
The Parking System will be paying for the cost of the project which includes
building Remax out a new conference room in their existing space. Effective
June 1, 2016, the Parking System will also be paying the Marine &Aviation
Department for 340 square feet of space at an annual rate of$4,457.40.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to Ratify and confirm a new lease
agreement with Steven M. Hasley, d/b/a REMAX Action First for a lease
term of five years with a five-year extension option and approve the
Clearwater Marina Parking Permit Office Project. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.

12. Other Council Action
12.1 U.S. 19/Harp Boulevard Pedestrian Overpass Bridge - Vice Mayor Jonson
Vice Mayor Jonson thanked Councilmember Caudell for raising the Ham
pedestrian overpass issue at the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
meeting and the MPO staff for taking the lead in correcting a likely oversight
by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). He said he hoped that,
if constructed, the overpass would be in an optimal location for users. He
said the MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) has identified
communities of economic challenge on both sides of U.S. Highway 19 at
Ham Blvd. and the MPO had a study done regarding pedestrian safety. In
addition, the MPO has been pushing for pedestrian safety projects north of
SR 580, which FDOT is now accommodating. Prior to the traffic signal at
Ham Blvd and U.S. Highway 19 being removed, MPO observed a high
number of pedestrians using the crosswalk, MPO shared this information
with FDOT who determined that an alternative method of crossing is

needed. FDOT has contracted with an engineering firm to evaluate the
possibility of four potential locations for a pedestrian bridge in that area
within 300 feet of where the intersection used to be. The Pinellas Suncoast
Transit Authority (PS TA) has said that FDOT has not been responsive in the
past to the needs of transit riders, but FDOT adopted a Complete Streets
initiative in 2014 that will hopefully change their approach. Vice Mayor
Jonson requested that the staff that will be participating in the evaluation
process emphasize the upcoming city investment in the Morningside
Recreation Center and the need for a pedestrian overpass as close to Ham
Blvd.
A concern was expressed with the idea of an elevator being incorporated
into the overpass as the security and maintenance would be a burden on city
resources.
13. Closing comments by Councilmembers (limited to 3 minutes)
Vice Mayor Jonson said he heard people talking about the one-way pairs on
south beach and said it would be helpful if Traffic Engineering would share
the model data on the potential change of one-way pairs on Coronado Drive
by the pirate ship and on the roundabout. They had previously done a
similar analysis for the one-way pairs on north beach. He said a new book
by Mark Aesch provided some thoughtful insight. He thanked the Wilder
Organization for renovating the awnings on the Atrium Building and he
thanked Anne Fogarty-France for working with them on the fagade grant
program.
Councilmember Caudell expressed her sympathies to the victims and
families of the Orlando shooting.
Councilmember Cundiff said the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center Coalition is
still in need of musical instruments or a monetary donation for their summer
program.
Councilmember Hamilton reminded all beachgoers that it is the time of year
to do the "Sting Ray Shuffle,-"shuffle your feet when entering the water to
avoid being stung.
14. Closing Comments by Mayor
Mayor Cretekos reviewed recent and upcoming events and wished
