3. PULLED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
Case: Amendment to Beach by Design Special Area Plan Level Three Application
Applicant: City of Clearwater, Parks & Recreation Department
Request: The Community Development Board (CBD) is reviewing a request to
amend Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and Design
Guidelines to update the public boardwalk standards in "Marina District Boardwalk
Design Guidelines and Specifications," and making a recommendation to the City
Council.
Neighborhood Associations: Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition; Board of
County Commissioners; Clearwater Beach Association
Presenter: Kyle Brotherton, Senior Planner
Concern was expressed that design guidelines limited City use of palm trees to 2
species that were very susceptible to lethal bronzing which kills trees.
Parks & Recreation Director Department Kevin Dunbar said the City tried to develop
consistency and limit the types of palm trees planted in the City; staff dealt with lethal
bronzing on a daily basis.
It was recommended the City consider adopting a third species i.e. Royal Palms, which
is not affected by lethal bronzing.
In response to a question re waterfront East Shore Drive properties, Mr. Dunbar said
staff had taken great pains to establish sufficient consistent front and rear setbacks that
minimized impacts on development. The City's pedestrian -oriented boardwalk plaza
provided a visual model of public boardwalk requirements for developers.
Member Anuszkiewicz moved to recommend approval of the Amendment to Beach by
Design Special Area Plan based on evidence in the record, including the application
and the Staff Report, and here by adopt the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
stated in the Staff Report, with conditions of approval as listed. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
F. DIRECTOR'S REPORT: None.
