Presenter: Ellen Crandall, Senior Planner
Senior Planner Ellen Crandall reviewed the Staff Report. SWFWMD (Southwest Florida
Water Management District) did not require mitigation.
Community Development 3/21/2017 2
Concern was expressed that mitigation would be crucial if the wetlands sheltered critical
bird nesting areas.
Environmental Manager Ed Chesney said the City had no mechanism to require or
permit mitigation and relied on State agencies to enforce laws. The subject property did
not have historical wetlands.
Applicant Housh Ghavaee said his firm's environmental consultant had several
meetings with SWFWMD. He said the site's minimal wetland, created by water running
through hydric soil, had a few palm trees, no environmental issues, and did not provide
a habitat for birds. He said the site will be landscaped with many trees.
A resident said the Environmental Advisory Board should have reviewed the request
and recommended plants be grown along the lake for birds and wildlife.
Member Boutzoukas moved to recommend approval of Case LUP2016-08008 based on
the evidence and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's
hearing, and hereby adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law stated in the
Staff Report. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Alternate

3. Case: FLD2016-12042 — 18401 US Highway 19 North Level Two Application
Owner: Vance Wright; Inspecs U.S.A. (18401 US 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33764)
Agent: Cole Lane; AndersonLane, Inc. (2750 N. McMullen Booth Road, Suite 104,
Clearwater, FL 33561; phone: 727-797-5050; email: clane(a)andersonlaneinc.com)

approximately 475 feet east of US Highway 19 North
Atlas Page: 318A
Existing Zoning: Commercial (C) District (at time of application)
Request: The Community Development Board (CDB) is reviewing an amendment to
a previously approved Level Two Flexible Development application (FLD2011-
11041) for an existing office use which includes an increase in the size of the
property, a realignment of existing parking spaces, the relocation of a dumpster and
the provision of additional landscape area in the Commercial (C) District for the
property located at 18401 US Highway 19 North (Section 4-406).
Proposed Use: Office (no change to existing use)
Neighborhood Associations: Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition
Presenter: Mark T. Parry, AICP, Senior Planner
Andy Boyle requested Party Status.
Member Lau moved to grant Andy Boyle Party Status. The motion was duly seconded
and carried unanimously. Alternate Member Haydon did not vote.
Member Allbritton moved to accept Mark Parry as an expert witness in the fields of
redevelopment planning, comprehensive planning, annexation implementation, zoning,
land use/rezoning applications, land development general planning code amendments,
landscape ordinance, and special area plans/overlay districts. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously. Alternate Member Haydon did not vote.
Senior Planner Mark Parry reviewed the Staff Report.
Applicant Vance Wright reviewed changes to the parcel line after Flournoy, developers
of an abutting parcel, ceded land to the office building property. He said landscaping will
be added, the parking lot will be restriped with the same number of spaces, and the
dumpster will be moved to the property's edge. He said nearby easements were not
part of the subject property.
Party Status Holder Boyle said his condominium development, Grand Bellagio, had
granted an easement to the subject property's former owner. He discussed difficulties
related to emptying his development's trash compactor and problems the nearby
apartment development will cause, including trash collection and traffic congestion on
Belleair Road.
Community Development 3/21/2017 4
A Grand Bellagio resident said Belleair Road already was burdened with heavy traffic.
He said apartment resident access to the road would lower his property's value and
requested that the City Council block apartment resident access to Belleair Road.
Mr. Parry said the office building property was being enlarged by one-half acre; these
resident concerns were unrelated to the application. Assistant City Attorney Camilo Soto
said easement agreements were between private property owners. Engineering
Specialist II Daniel Simpson said this section of Belleair Road was a private road.
Mr. Wright said the office building property paid for the right to use Belleair Road and
had a permanent easement between the road and office building parking lot; Flournoy
owned the easement. He said Flournoy-owned property and the Grand Bellagio trash
compactor were not part of this application
Party Status Holder Boyle said the easement his condominium development granted to
the office building property was not intended to be used by an apartment complex. He
expressed concern increased traffic from the apartments would result in a catastrophe
that would not affect Flournoy. He requested the applicant plant nice trees.
A resident said the Belcher Road/Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard intersection proved traffic
mistakes could not be corrected later.
Attorney Daigneault said much testimony was not relevant to this case; he
recommended members confine their analysis to case submissions and Code criteria.
Member Boutzoukas moved to approve Case FLD2016-12042 based on the evidence
and testimony presented in the application, the Staff Report and at today's hearing, and
hereby adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law stated in the Staff Report.
The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Alternate Member Haydon did
not vote.

Shores, FL 33785; email: swcrel(agmail.com)
