8. Administrative Public Hearings
8.1 Declare surplus for the purpose of sale, through Invitation to Bid 05-18, real property
formerly used as city right-of-way located in Section 17, Township 29 South, Range 16
East whereby the successful bidder will assemble the property with meaningful
development with an express prohibition against the parcel becoming an uneconomic
remainder.
November 12, 1968, the City of Clearwater acquired this strip of land, which
runs along the east side of Thornton Road, to use for Right-of-Way purposes.
The adjacent property owner expressed interest in acquiring this piece of land to
support the parking lot on their site.
This strip of land runs along the east side of Thornton Road and is
approximately 10 ft. by 900 ft. Its size and shape impose limitations on potential
land uses. Any meaningful development of the property will require the use of
adjacent lands.
An independent appraisal was performed on the property on April 20, 2017 by
Jim Millspaugh and Associates. This appraisal report determined that the fair
market value is $230,000. Per City Charter 2.01, real property declared surplus
shall be sold to the party submitting the highest competitive bid above the
appraised value whose bid meets the terms set by City Council and whose
proposed use of the property is in accordance with the Council's stated purpose
for declaring the property surplus.
Real Estate Coordinator Jim Benwell said the starting bid will have to
exceed the appraised value.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to declare surplus for the purpose
of sale, through Invitation to Bid 05-18, real property formerly used
as city right-of-way located in Section 17, Township 29 South,
Page 5
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes December 7, 2017
Range 16 East whereby the successful bidder will assemble the
property with meaningful development with an express prohibition
against the parcel becoming an uneconomic remainder. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
8.2 Approve the First Amendment to the 2016 Affordable Housing Inventory List pursuant to
requirements of Chapter 166.0451, Florida Statutes, adopt Resolution 17-38 and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
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 16, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 16-14, the 2016
Affordable Housing Inventory to identify seven City-owned parcels of land
appropriate for use as affordable housing. The City has identified two additional
parcels of land making it a total of nine parcels to which it has title as
appropriate for use as affordable housing.
The two additional properties are located at 1415 Taft Avenue, acquired by the
City in 2001 and 404 Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail acquired in 2015. Both
properties were acquired at no cost to the City.
In response to a question, Economic Development and Housing
Assistant Director Chuck Lane said the 1164 La Salle property is a
stormwater property and not suitable for housing.
Vice Mayor Hamilton moved to approve the First Amendment to the
2016 Affordable Housing Inventory List pursuant to requirements of
Chapter 166.0451, Florida Statutes and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.
Resolution 17-38 was presented and read by title only.
Councilmember Jonson moved to adopt Resolution 17-38. The
motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
Ayes: 5 - Mayor Cretekos, Vice Mayor Hamilton, Councilmember Caudell,

8.3 Approve the City of Clearwater's Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the
principal administrative report documenting the City's expenditures for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) programs to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). For Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017, the City's entitlement
allocation was $667,634 in CDBG and $285,238 in HOME Program funds,
$954,041 of Prior Year funds and $1,147,951 of Program Income for a total
budget of$3,054,864 from federal funds.
The report provides HUD with necessary information for the Department to
meet its requirement to assess each grantee's ability to carry out relevant
Community Planning and Development programs in compliance with all
applicable rules and regulations. It also provides information necessary for
HUD's Annual Report to Congress and it provides grantees an opportunity to
describe to citizens their successes in revitalizing deteriorated neighborhoods
and in meeting objectives stipulated in their Consolidated Planning document.
In addition to reporting activities carried out with federal money, a summary of
activities conducted with the Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP)
Program and Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund Program is also included in
the narrative section; however, these numbers are not included in the totals
below.
Through the CDBG and HOME program activities, total expenditures were
$1,629,332 in FY 2016-2017, which included program income and funding from
the prior year reprogrammed funds. Those funds not expended from this year's
budget will be programmed in future years.
The City of Clearwater's FY 2016-2017 CAPER contains information on the
City's assessment of the following activities:
- Assessment of Four Year Goals and Outcomes
- Resources and Investments
- Affordable Housing
- Homeless and Other Special Needs
- Public Housing
- Other Actions to Address Barriers to Affordable Housing
- Monitoring
- CDBG
- HOME
Over 2,200 persons were assisted through Community Development and

Councilmember Cundiff moved to approve the City of Clearwater's
Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER). The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.
8.4 Accept the 2017 Local Housing Incentive Strategy (LHIS) Report developed by the
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC).
Florida Statute Section 420.9076 states that counties and cities receiving State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds are required to appoint an
eleven member Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The statute
further provides that the committee be made up of members from a specific
industry or a specific group as identified in the statute. The requirement was
largely met through the use of the City's existing Neighborhood and Affordable
Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB). The City Council adopted Resolution 17-34
that created and appointed the AHAC.
The duties of the AHAC included reviewing policies and procedures,
ordinances, land development regulations and the City's adopted
comprehensive plan and recommending specific actions or initiatives to
Page 8
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes December 7, 2017
encourage or facilitate affordable housing.
Per state statute, at a minimum, the AHAC reviewed and made
recommendations on the following:
(a) The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as
defined in F.S.163.3164 (7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is
expedited to a greater degree than other projects.
(b) The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or
waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable
housing.
(c) The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.
(d) The reservation of infrastructure capacity or housing for very-low income
persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons.
(e) The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential
zoning districts.
(f) The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable
housing.
(g) The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line
configurations for affordable housing.
(h) The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
(i) The establishment of a process by which a local government considers,
before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or
plan provisions that increase the cost of housing.
Q) The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands
suitable for affordable housing.
(k) The support of development near transportation hubs and major
employment centers and mixed-use developments.
In August 2017, the Economic Development and Housing Department
contracted with Wade Trim, Inc. to help facilitate the process. Wade Trim
coordinated the preparation of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy report in
cooperation with the City's staff and the AHAC. The LHIS encompasses the
definition, vision, strategic focus areas and incentive recommendations in order
to facilitate the development and preservation of affordable housing in the City of
Clearwater. The AHAC convened on three separate occasions in order to
develop and identify the value of affordable housing, identify the principles for
Clearwater's affordable housing and develop a vision statement to be included
as part of the LHIS.
The report highlights an affordable housing vision statement that was derived
from input by committee members. Additionally, the AHAC members focused
on the values that affordable housing brings to the City of Clearwater. The
themes identified centered on the values that affordable housing supports a
dynamic and competitive economy, improves the social well being that builds a
sense of community, and ensures that the City's workforce can live within the
city limits.

City Council Meeting Minutes December 7, 2017
Furthermore, the AHAC also discussed and confirmed the principles that the
provisions of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater should embrace:
affordability over the long term, diversity that provides for a mix of income levels,
sustainability, accessibility for persons with physical barriers, well-designed, in
character with the surrounding neighborhood, strategically-located, and
pedestrian-oriented with access to mass transit and open space.
In summary, the report recommends the City continues in large part the
strategies, with minor changes and clarifications, from the 2014 LHIS Report.
One new recommendation was added for Council consideration:
(1) Recommendation 10.4 - The Economic Development and Housing
Department should coordinate with the Planning and Development
Department to identify properties having repeat code violations that may
be suitable for rehabilitation, acquisition or demolition for affordable
housing.
(2) The LHIS report is due every three years on December 31 st of the year
preceding the submission of the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP).
The report must be submitted to the City Council by December 31,
2017.
The City Council is being asked to review the LHIS recommendations that were
approved by the AHAC on November 28, 2017. By March 31, 2018, the City
Council will be asked to adopt an amendment to the LHAP to incorporate the
strategies it will implement for the City. The amendment must include, at a
minimum, the State required incentive strategies specified above.
Upon acceptance, the City of Clearwater is required to notify the State of its
adoption of an amendment to its LHAP to incorporate the incentive strategies.
The notice must also include a copy of the approved amended plan in order to
comply with the SHIP programs participation guidelines.
Vice Mayor Hamilton moved to accept the 2017 Local Housing
Incentive Strategy (LHIS) Report developed by the Affordable
Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.

Camilo Soto said the Community Development Board would make the
determination if the dispensary could be located at least 500 ft. from a school
under a Level 2 approval. The State of Florida requires a waiver if the
dispensary is located within 500 ft. of a school. Mr. Soto said there are
licensees that can open dispensaries within regions, which is currently
limited to seven but can increase based on population growth.

City Council Meeting Minutes December 7, 2017
pedestrian overpass by BWCW from the BWCW property over City Right-of-Way to City
property known as Beach Walk and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
Item Pulled.
BWCW desires to install a pedestrian overpass from their multistory hotel
development currently know as the Hyatt on Clearwater Beach over S. Gulfview
Blvd. ROW to Beach Walk. This overpass will allow pedestrians to access
Clearwater Beach directly from the parking garage and BWCW property without
having to cross S. Gulfview Blvd.
As part of the Development Agreement between the City and BWCW, they
were responsible to provide a minimum of 400 publicly accessible parking
spaces. Persons parking in these spaces must cross S. Gulfview Blvd. to
access Beach Walk and Clearwater Beach.
BWCW will be responsible for all costs of and construction of the new overpass
structure and amenities; as well as all future maintenance and upkeep of the
structure. Construction of the overpass must begin within two years and
completed within eight months of the commencement date of the construction.
BWCW agrees to maintain 400 public parking spaces, to not exclude the public
from the access and use of the overpass and public parking spaces and to
continue to maintain the overpass according to Overpass Standards, set forth
in the agreement.
The City may terminate the agreement for a greater public purpose or in the
event BWCW does not comply with the conditions set forth in the agreement.
The City Attorney said the Applicant requested Item 10.1 be pulled from
today's agenda. The item will come back to Council at a future date.
10.2Ratify and confirm an Interlocal Agreement between Pinellas County and its NPDES
Co-Permittees for the Implementation and Operation of a Surface Water Quality and
Biological Monitoring Program; approve the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement
between Pinellas County and NPDES MS4 Co-Permittees for Water Quality and
Biological Monitoring and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
This interlocal agreement covers the surface water quality monitoring and
biological monitoring program administered by Pinellas County. This agreement
was originally signed by the City Engineer in 2013, but similar agreements for
monitoring have been in place since 2002. The monitoring program is a
requirement of the stormwater permit issued by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
The City is responsible for 12.05% of the total costs, which is based on
acreage.
The amendment to the agreement is a time extension only and is in effect until

13. Closing comments by Councilmembers (limited to 3 minutes)
Councilmember Jonson recognized the passing of former Council Assistant
Carolyn Brink. He said he noticed the decorative street lights on Cleveland
Street still utilize the sodium vapor bulbs instead of the new LED bulbs. He
spent the day in Orlando at the Florida League of Cities Legislative
Conference and emphasized the importance of Council to explain the impact
of legislation to the legislators. He was impressed to learn that Mayor
Cretekos was elected to the Florida League of Mayors board and it is great
to have Clearwater as part of that leadership. He commented on the traffic
in Orlando and Tampa and emphasized the importance of safety on the
roadway during the holiday season.
Vice Mayor Hamilton remembered former Council Assistant Carolyn
Brink. He said he was looking forward to the cooler weather arriving and
urged all to be careful on the water during the Holiday Boat Parade.
Councilmember Cundiff said today is Pearl Harbor Day and that as a high
school newspaper editor, he had the opportunity to interview an alum who
was alive during that time. He thanked the Veterans and all those who
served bravely over the years and said the price of freedom is eternal
vigilance.
Councilmember Caudell expressed sympathies to families of all employees
and former employees who passed away this year. She echoed comments
made during the Festival of Trees presentation and the ARC's annual theme
to smile. She encouraged all to slow down and take a moment and try to
smile as much as possible. She said there is a Jeeps and Brews event
taking place in downtown on Saturday and proceeds will help support
Clearwater Firefighters.
