Item #48 Revised Preliminary Subdivision Plat for Curlew Heights located S of Curlew Rd., W of Countryside Blvd. and particularly 300 ft. E of 66th St. N. and 400 ft. S of 297th Ave.;
M&B 33 04, Sec. 17 28 16, portions of Florida Power ROW easement, and Lots 31 & 32, Countryside Tract 5, Sec. 20 28 16 (Sempecos) SUB 87 12 (`PUD`) !
The subject property was annexed and the zoning and land use designation were established on September 17, 1987. On November 19, 1987 and January 7, 1988 the Commission reviewed various
alternatives of access. Access from Northridge Dr. via an ingress/egress easement over Florida Power ROW was rejected due to objections from the affected property owners and the neighborhood
association. The item was continued until other alternatives had been investigated and were acceptable to neighboring properties and Florida Power Corp.!
The applicant is now requesting that access be established from Elderberry Drive. He has submitted letters of approval from the owners of abutting lots 32 and 37, Countryside Tract
5 Subdivision, provided he beautifies the open ditch area which lies along the east side of these lots. Also, a letter was submitted by Florida Power Corporation stating they will consider
an application for the proposed ingress/egress easement over Florida Power's ROW provided the City approves the proposal and provided there are no objections from adjoining property
owners.!
The Planning Director reviewed the current proposal to access the property from Elderberry Drive, which is presently a cul de sac. The developer has notified the adjacent property
owners and received approval from two.!
Trish Muscarella, Attorney representing the applicant, stated this proposal is superior to the access approved previously as the access from 66th Street would be by a 25 foot sub standard
road. Ms. Muscarella stated the applicant has agreed to take care of the drainage ditch problem for the Springdale homeowners.!
Seven residents spoke in opposition to access from Elderberry Drive citing concerns with increased traffic, decreased property values, and the fact that the hardship was created by
the developer by selling the property for access.!
One resident spoke in support of the proposal emphasizing the developer's agreement to pipe the drainage ditch.!
Discussion ensued regarding extending the cul de sac beyond the allowed distance of 1,000 feet and that since the homeowners on Elderberry Drive bought their property because of the
cul de sac they deserve to keep it. !
The Public Works Director stated the original plan accessing 66th Street was approved by the City Commission subject to satisfying the City Attorney regarding City access to the property.
Mr. Baker stated a 24 foot wide street could be put on the 25 foot easement to 66th Street.!
The City Attorney expressed concern regarding having no public access to a subdivision with public streets. It was pointed out that Florida Power Corporation would not approve the
road over their right of way if the homeowners object.!
Commissioner Berfield moved to deny review of the preliminary subdivision plat for Curlew Heights. `Motion` was duly seconded and `carried` unanimously.!
It was stated the originally approved plat was still valid and no other proposals will be considered by the City Commission.!
Item #49 Preliminary Site Plan for Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation located between McMullen Booth Rd. and Landmark Dr., N of Countryside High School; M&B 41 01, 44 03 and a portion
of 32 00, Secs. 20 & 21 28 16 (City of Clearwater) PSP 88 8 (`PUD`) !
An eighteen (18) hole golf course with clubhouse, education buildings (4), lodge, greenhouse, and maintenance building is proposed to be developed on the property.!
Vehicular access is proposed at one point off McMullen Booth Rd. and at one point to the interior drive for the existing City athletic field, both at the northeast corner of the site.
An asphalt cart path in the Landmark Drive right of way is proposed from Hole #6 green to Hole #7 tee to be designed and constructed to meet City standards. !
Bill Hayes, representing Chi Chi Rodriguez Foundation, stated the proposed lodge will house one family as full time residents for security purposes.!
A question was raised regarding a six inch encroachment of a tree house onto City property. The owner of the tree house, Dr. Rothman, has agreed to sign a Hold Harmless agreement for
the six inch encroachment. !
An engineer from Post, Buckley, Schuh, and Jernigan, Inc. stated the concrete slab of the treehouse also extends into a utility easement. Bill Hayes expressed concern regarding liability
for the Chi Chi Rodriquez Foundation. The City Attorney stated he would prefer the treehouse and slab be moved.!
Richard Brigham, of the Audubon Society, expressed concern regarding the fact not everyone would be able to participate in the use of the golf course. Mr. Brigham requested the land
be used as a park open to all City and Pinellas County residents, not just those who participate in the sport of golf. Mr. Brigham stated 70 acres of natural environment housing many
endangered species are being destroyed. The Southwest Florida Water Management District confirmed bulldozer work was done without a permit. Mr. Brigham requested the wetlands not be
disturbed or polluted by fertilizer and effluent.!
Discussion ensued regarding the benefits of the proposed golf course and the fact effluent is being deposited into the earth and not into open waters. The social benefits were pointed
out, as well as the fact the City is not able to satisfy all community needs within its present budget constraints.!
Commissioner Regulski moved to authorize review of a final site plan with final action by the D.R.C. subject to the following conditions: 1) Signs and fencing shall be subject to separate
review and permitting processes; 2) The location, size, orientation and shielding of the refuse container(s) shall be subject to approval by the Utilities Department; 3) The proposed
asphalt cart path in the Landmark Dr. right of way shall be constructed to meet City standards and shall be subject to approval by the Public Works Department; 4) The site plan shall
be revised to be in accordance with all content requirements of Section 137.010 of the City's Land Development Code (to include but not limited to the location map, calculations in addition
to the percentages for building coverage, paving and open space, delineation by shading or cross hatching of the interior landscaped areas of the paved vehicular areas with related required
and proposed percentages); 5) An application to rezone the wetland jurisdictional areas to AL/I (Aquatic Lands Interior) shall be submitted prior to certification of the site plan; 6)
General layout of the clubhouse area (now provided on a detail sheet) should also be provided on the overall site
plan for the entire golf course; and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same. `Motion` was duly seconded and `carried` unanimously. !
