Page 5 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021 Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM 8. Administrative Public Hearings 8.1 Declare surplus for the purpose of sale, through Invitation to Bid 23-21, real property located at 2150 Range Road whereby the successful bid: 1) exceeds $580,000; 2) requires the property to generate ad valorem tax revenue; alternatively, an otherwise tax exempt purchaser shall enter into a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement for all city portions of real property taxes, tangible property taxes, utility taxes and any other applicable taxes; and 3) requires the property owner to increase the site's property value through capital investment which must commence within one year of purchase. (APH) The 1.547-acre (Pinellas County Property I.D. # 12-29-15-70182-100-1501) site is a former state vehicle inspection facility with five drive-thru bays containing 6,150 SF of warehouse space with 1,725 SF of office space. The City acquired the facility in August 2003 for $635,000 for use by City of Clearwater Fire Department as a maintenance and repair facility. Facility is currently being used for storage which is not economically proportionate to its value. The sale to an employment-based private business will provide greater economic benefit to City, and the employment retained and/or newly created by an appropriate user will provide employment benefit to city residents. 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 the Council and whose proposed use of the property is in accordance with the Council's stated purpose for declaring the property surplus. Accordingly, all qualifying bids must meet the following terms: • Bid price shall exceed $580,000; • Property must generate ad valorem tax revenue; • Alternatively, an otherwise tax-exempt purchaser shall enter into a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement for all city portions of real property taxes, tangible property taxes, utility taxes and any other applicable taxes; and • Property owner shall increase the site's property value through capital investment which must commence within 1 year of purchase. An appraisal was performed on the property by James Millspaugh and Associates, Inc. The appraised value was $580,000 with a valuation date of November 13, 2020. Proceeds from sale will be deposited into the General Fund revenue code 010-00000-364220 (Surplus Land Sales). Economic development and Housing Director Denise Sanderson said Senior Environmental Specialist Joe DiCiccio confirmed the property is not a Page 6 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021 State listed site. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is not aware of any known contaminants produced, delivered or stored at the site. She said there are neighboring properties that may trigger a Phase 1 environmental assessment if financing is sought by a successful bidder. Councilmember Bunker moved to declare surplus for the purpose of sale, through Invitation to Bid 23-21, real property located at 2150 Range Road whereby the successful bid: 1) exceeds $580,000; 2) requires the property to generate ad valorem tax revenue; alternatively, an otherwise tax exempt purchaser shall enter into a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement for all city portions of real property taxes, tangible property taxes, utility taxes and any other applicable taxes; and 3) requires the property owner to increase the site's property value through capital investment which must commence within one year of purchase. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. 8.2 Approve the contraction of the Clearwater Cay Community Development District and pass Ordinance 9437-21 on first reading. CL Clearwater LP, a Delaware limited partnership; CL Clearwater LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, doing business in Florida as CL Tampa Clearwater LLC; CL Clearwater Owner 3 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; CL Clearwater Owner 4 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; CL Clearwater Owner 5 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and CL Clearwater Owner 6 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, owners in Clearwater Cay Community Development District (Petitioners), a community development district established by Ordinance No. 7515-05, adopted on September 15, 2005 as amended by Ordinance 7564-05, adopted on January 19, 2006 of the City Council of Clearwater, Florida, and effective on that date (City Ordinance), have petitioned the City Council of the City of Clearwater, Florida (Council), through its Petition to Amend Clearwater Cay Community Development District (Petition), to contract by non- emergency ordinance, the boundaries of the Clearwater Cay Community Development District (District). The Petition is complete in that it meets the requirements of Section 190.046(1), Florida Statutes (2020). Appropriate city staff reviewed the application and determined it to be complete and sufficient. The costs to the City of Clearwater and government agencies from contraction of the District are nominal. There is no adverse impact on competition or employment from District contraction. The persons affected Page 7 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021 by contraction are the future landowners, present landowners, the City of Clearwater and its taxpayers, and the State of Florida. Methodology is as set forth in the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) on file with the City. The SERC of the Petitioner pertaining to District contraction is complete and adequate, in that it meets the requirements of Section 120.541, Florida Statutes. Contraction of the District by this Ordinance, whose uniform general law charter is Sections 190.006 - 190.049, Florida Statutes, is subject to and not inconsistent with the local Comprehensive Plan of the City of Clearwater and with the State Comprehensive Plan. The area of land within the District as contracted is sufficient size, is sufficiently compact, and is sufficiently contiguous and has been developed as one functional, interrelated community. The area that is proposed to be served by the District after the contraction is amenable to separate special district government. Upon the effective date of this Ordinance. the Clearwater Cay Community Development District will cease to be duly and legally authorized to exist on the proposed Contraction Property and, as to the Contraction Property shall cease to exercise any of its general and special powers in accordance with, and as granted by, its uniform community development district charter as provided in Sections 190.006- 190.049, Florida Statutes. All notice requirements of law were met and complete notice was timely given. The Vue at Belleair Representative Scott Clark provided a PowerPoint presentation and reviewed the request. Ten individuals spoke in opposition. One individual spoke in opposition and submitted letters from the Grand Venezia unit owners opposing the contraction request. One individual requested that the item be continued for thirty days. In response to questions, CCD Attorney Dan Malloy said there is litigation pending with the bond holders and the District is challenging the last assessment. If the pending items are upheld, he believed a request Page 8 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021 for total dissolution would be back before Council within a year. Mr. Clark said his client made a calculated decision to purchase the property and believed some relief would be obtained. The Vue does not take care of the Grand Venezia property or allow the residents to use its amenities. The Vue does not physically maintain the Grand Venezia property but the Grand Venezia is asking the Vue to pay to maintain their property. The condominiums in the front along US 19 have paved parking areas that are maintained and is still subject to the bond debt. The City Attorney said if the City takes action to dissolve the entire district, the City would be liable for the bond debt. As long as the bond debt exists, the City cannot dissolve the district. Mr. Clark said there are 339 units in the Vue and 336 units in the Grand Venezia. This year's assessment to the District was approximately$130,000. The City Attorney said the Petitioner has requested a continuance for 30 days. The Council recessed from 7:53 p.m. to 8:03 p.m. The Mayor said the Petitioner and the Gran Venezia Representative have reached a consensus to continue Item 8.2 for 60 days. It was stated the item would be heard at the May 6 meeting. Councilmember Hamilton moved to continue Item 8.2 to May 6, 2021. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. 9.
