1. Call to Order— Mayor Rector
The meeting was called to order at 2:58 p.m.
2. Presentations — Given.
2.1 Firefighter of the year 2023 and Fire Medic of the Year 2023 - Chief Ehlers
Fire Chief Ehlers recognized John Zawojski for receiving the 2023 Fire
Medic of the Year Award and Mark Herny for the 2023 Firefighter of the Year
Award.
2.2 FDOT Drew Street Project Update.
FDOT Drew Street Project Manager Justin Hall provided a PowerPoint
presentation. He said there is no road degradation with the proposed lane
repurposing. The lane repurposing does create a slight increase in traffic
volume, increasing travel time by 30 seconds, but the traffic volume is still
below the 76% intersection capacity. The proposed lane repurposing
components will reduce fatal crashes by 57%.
In response to questions, Mr. Hall said staff looked at different locations for
crash analysis, SR 60 has more traffic volume and more crashes. Those
areas with less traffic volume have less crashes. Drew Street and west of
Keene Road are identified as high crash corridors on the FDOT District's
screening of high crash corridors and listed on Forward Pinellas' Vision Zero
Plan. The regional travel demand model does not separate traffic volume by
time of day, the model provides an average traffic volume. He said the
Page 2
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) counts in 2021 were collected in
November and the 2023 counts were collected in April. When data is
collected, FDOT incorporates seasonal factors and adjusts the counts
to represent the average conditions of that year. The AADT data represents
an average of three days. He said any time projections are used, staff looks
at other data sources to ensure the projections are reasonable. The
projections used for Drew Street increased by 2% annually, historically,
Pinellas County's population has been growing by 0.2% annually but the
historical traffic counts have decreased in the county by 0.2% annually. He
said the forecast includes land use projections and the travel demand model
data. FDOT representative Rich Wilson said Forward Pinellas, the regional
planning body, enters the development data and FDOT captures all of that
data. At city staffs request, FDOT included five development sites that were
not originally captured. He said the five sites identified by city staff were
going through the approval process and were not far enough in the approval
process to be included in the model. The model includes data for all
approved developments in the state. The 20231dalia Evacuation data was
not included in the report. Mr. Wilson said evacuation routes are included in
the model. Drew Street is not a standard state road and would gladly return it
to the City if desired. He said Drew Street was not a standard state project,
the City requested the project. Florida Statutes does not allow the agency to
lower the speed on a four-lane road until 85% of speed is below the posted
speed. Mr. Hall said the 57% predicted crash reduction is not due to diverting
traffic to parallel corridors but improved roadway geometrics. The foundation
for the regional travel demand model is a household survey that helps the
agency understand drivers travel patterns and purpose of transit. Mr. Wilson
said, based on the data, a four-lane road is not needed. There are a lot of
options available to facilitate emergency vehicles that will be looked at during
the design phase.
2.3 Clearwater Airpark Update - Barry Shevlin, FIyUSA. (WSO)
On January 17, 2023, City Council approved a Lease and Property Operation
Agreement (the Agreement) between the City of Clearwater (City or Lessor) and
FIyUSA PV, LLC (Lessee) for an initial five-year term through February 29,
2028, with one five-year unilateral renewal option, at the discretion of Lessee,
and four subsequent five-year renewal options subject to mutual agreement of
both parties.
On March 7, 2024, City Council approved a First Amendment to Lease and
Property Operation Agreement for the Clearwater Airpark between the City of
Clearwater (Lessor) and FIyUSA PV, LLC (Lessee) to provide for a 30-year
initial term ending on February 29, 2053, with five five-year renewal options
subject to mutual agreement of both parties among other minor revisions.

Mr. Shevlin provided a PowerPoint presentation.
3. City Manager
3.1 Designate the Clearwater Arts Alliance as the official Arts Alliance for the city of
Clearwater and adopt Resolution 24-06.
The Clearwater Arts Alliance (originally called Clearwater Arts Foundation Inc.)
was created in 1999 as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and was
co-founded by former City of Clearwater Cultural Arts Director Margo Walbot.
CAA exists for the primary purpose of advocating, collaborating, fundraising,
and bringing visibility to the arts and creating a better community. CAA fulfills
the needs of the pubic and city government by organizing local educational art
walks, implementing public arts programing, and grant funding. CAA, as a
501(c)3 arts organization, operates mainly within the corporate limits of the City
of Clearwater and has never been designated as the official arts alliance
recognized by the City of Clearwater.
Since 1999, CAA has pioneered initiatives such Pianos for Pinellas, Clearwater
Arts Walks, and Arts Education Teacher grants. CAA was responsible for
Pinellas County's first signal box wrap program "Thinking Outside the Box".
CAA is expanding its role by assisting the City in projects like revitalizing the 360
sculpture walk along Cleveland St. and organizing an exhibition in the
Clearwater Main Library galleries.
The City of Clearwater has not recognized any arts organization as the official
arts alliance to operate within the corporate limits of the City of Clearwater.
Staff agrees and supports the purposes of the Clearwater Arts Alliance as set
forth above and recommends that Council designate them as the official arts
alliance within the City of Clearwater.
4. Gas System
4.1 Approve a Piggyback Dispensing Agreement with Opal Fuels Station Services LLC, for
the sale of Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits associated with the City of
Clearwater Compressed natural gas filling station for the term June 1, 2024 through
October 19, 2025, with the option of two, one-year renewals pursuant to Clearwater Code
of Ordinances Section 2.563(1)(c), Piggyback, and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. (consent)
Authorization is requested to piggyback off the City of St. Petersburg Master
Agreement with Opal Fuels. This agreement authorizes Opal Fuels to manage
and sell Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits that are associated with
St. Pete's Compressed natural gas fueling station. The RIN credits are sold on
the open market to Obligated Parties (fuel refiners, blenders, importers) that
must meet minimum renewable energy standards.
Page 4
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) are credits used for compliance and
are the "currency" of the Renewal Fuel Standards (RFS) program. This
program was authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and managed by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Below are the steps to generate and retire RINs:
• Renewable fuel producers generate renewable energy, at a facility/plant.
This is where the RIN is generated.
• Market Participants trade RINs (i.e. Opal Fuels or other 3rd party
entities).
• Obligated Parties obtain and then ultimately retire RINs for compliance.
• RINs are classified as a transportation fuel, therefore, must be assigned
to a natural gas fueling station.
• The number of RINs sold is dependent on monthly & annual gallons
dispensed at the fueling station.
• Fueling station operator (CGS) receives % share of the RIN sale price.
St. Petersburg issued a bid (IFB 8717,1) in August 2023 to hire a 3rd party
agent to manage and sell RIN credits. In return, St. Pete would receive a
percent share of the revenues. Three companies submitted bids and Opal
Fuels came in as the highest, with a 5% revenue share.
Using an average cost of$3.40 per RIN (i.e., $5.85 per diesel gallon), our filling
station dispenses 360,000 diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) per year. This would
equate to $105,300.00 per year in added revenue to CGS.
The City of St. Petersburg Council approved the Master Agreement with Opal
Fuels on October 5, 2023, by Resolution 2023-499, with an initial term of two
years, with the option of two, one-year renewals. In addition, CGS is requesting
the ability to renew the agreement if St. Petersburg exercises their renewal
options under section 3 of the Master Agreement.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Revenues will be applied to 423-369901 (Other Gas Revenue)
5. General Services
5.1 Authorize a purchase order to Viktor Construction Corp, for various interior and exterior
painting, in the not to exceed amount of$650,000.00 for the term May 1, 2024 through
July 18, 2026 with one, two-year renewal option in the amount of$600,000.00, pursuant
to Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.563(1)(c), Piggyback, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The majority of Building & Maintenance's interior and exterior painting projects
have been procured by obtaining quotes or by piggybacking other government
Page 5
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
entities contracts. Rather than using multiple vendors, staff is requesting the
ability to piggyback an existing contract with Viktor Construction Corp for various
painting projects throughout the City for the duration of their respective contract.
This will allow the City to benefit from pre-negotiated prices for various items as
required.
This agenda item is needed to maintain the exterior envelope of various city
buildings. This is imperative to the health and well-being of the structure as well
as its aesthetic appearance to the public. It has been staff's policy to paint the
exterior of buildings that have new roofs installed to ensure the exterior envelope
and maintenance has been addressed as much as is possible.
Structures that are scheduled to be painted include the following: Fire 48
Training Building exterior and interior, Fire 51 exterior, Main Library exterior,
MSB exterior, Main Police exterior, Police substations North Greenwood and
South Greenwood exterior and interior, Lifeguard Building 0 interior, Carpenter
Field exterior and interior (annual event), and BayCare Field exterior and interior
(annual event).
Authorization is requested to piggyback Pinellas County Contract 23-0145-ITB
valid through July 18, 2026, with option for a one, two-year renewal. Should
Pinellas County extend their contract, approval to renew for the additional two
years is requested.
Flexibility is requested to allow for expenditure of budgeted funds as needed
throughout the term, in accordance with the intent of this general authorization.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in Building and Maintenance operating code
5656531-530300, Contractual Services, in capital project GSBM 180004,
Painting of Facilities for general government buildings, and in other various
capital R&R projects depending upon location (fund).
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
This purchase furthers the Council's Strategic Plan to achieve High Performing
Government by maintaining public infrastructure through systematic
management efforts.
6. Parks and Recreation
6.1 Authorize an increase to existing purchase order with TranSystems Corporation of
Clearwater, Florida, for professional engineering services for the development of State
Street Park, located at 1312 State Street from $12,500.00 to $135,580.00 pursuant to
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 34-23, Engineering of Record (EOR) continuing service
agreement and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
On July 20, 2023, Council approved the use of 47 firms to serve to provide
professional engineering services as Engineer of Record (EOR) under a
Page 6
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
continued services agreement RFQ 34-23 and TranSystems Corporation was
selected as one of the approved firms.
In December of 2023, purchase order#24000339 was issued to TranSystems
Corporation, in the amount of$12,500.00 for the preliminary phase of the State
Street Park Design project. Based on the preliminary investigation and site
plans, staff is recommending that purchase order#24000339 be increased
from $12,500.00 to $135,580.00 for the next phase of the project which consists
of developing Site Construction Plans, Architectural and Structural Plans,
Permitting, Construction Observation Services, Tree Inventory, Preservation
Plan, and Geotechnical Investigation and Engineers estimate of total project
construction costs.
TranSystems Corporation was selected from our Engineer of Record list due to
the reliability of their professional personnel on staff, their ability to put together a
team of various disciplines to complete this project, and their past
performances in other major site development projects. Their attention to detail,
expedited turnaround times, aptitude for environmental concerns, and
communication techniques with the client and other inter-disciplinary
professional services are what makes them the EOR to be selected for this
project.
Staff has met with the Spring Branch Neighborhood Association on numerous
occasions to gather their input regarding the development of this park. The
plans will include a picnic shelter, parking lot, future playground area,
stormwater management facilities, two bridges, landscaping, environmental
education signage, and trail system throughout the park.
Additional staffing for these improvements will not be required as parks staff
currently maintains the active portion of the park while the passive areas of the
park will remain in their natural state with the addition of improved trails and
signage. Operating budgets will increase by approximately $12,000.00 to cover
the increase cost of electricity, water, replacement shell, and miscellaneous
supplies.
The budget for this project has grown due to additional stormwater
management requirements, necessity to provide a crosswalk across N. Betty
Lane, additional sidewalks in the Right of Way of N. Betty Lane, and expansion
of trail system and bridge into newly acquired park property. Total project costs
are unknown at this time but are anticipated to be $800,000.00 to
$1,100,000.00. Current project funding is $700,000.00 of ARPA related
General Fund revenue. If approved at these design specifications, additional
resources will need to be allocated at award of the construction contract.
Staff is currently analyzing all ARPA related projects to identify if resources
need to be reallocated to accommodate encumbrance and spending timeline
restrictions. That analysis will be brought to council at a future date which may
identify additional funding available for State Street Park.
This item is consistent with the Community Development Code as well as the
Comprehensive and Strategic Plans.

APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in capital improvement project G2218, ARPA State Street
Park Improvements, to fund this work order.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
Approval of the purchase order supports several Strategic Plan Objectives,
including:
• 1.2: Maintain public infrastructure, mobility systems, natural
lands, environmental resources, and historic features through
systematic management efforts.
1.3: Adopt responsive levels of service for public facilities and
amenities, and identify resources required to sustain that level of
service.
2.3: Promote Clearwater as a premier destination for
entertainment, cultural experiences, tourism, and national sporting
events.
3.2: Preserve community livability through responsible
development standards, proactive code compliance, and targeted
revitalization.
4.3: Protect the conservation of urban forests and public green

In response to a question, Parks and Recreation Director Art Kader said the
design does not include bathrooms.
6.2 Authorize a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal to Keystone Excavators, Inc. of
Oldsmar, Florida for the refurbishment of Coachman Ridge Park Pedestrian Bridge in the
amount of$345,232.00, pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 40-20, Construction
Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services Continuing Contracts and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
On September 17, 2020, Council approved the use of 13 firms to serve as
Construction Managers at Risk for Continuing Contracts under RFQ 40-20 and
Keystone Excavators, Inc. was selected as one of the approved firms.
Keystone Excavators, Inc. was selected from the approved CMAR Continuing
Contracts List based on past reliability, professionalism, prevalent on-site
supervisory personnel, and their ability to put together a team of various
disciplines to complete this project, as well as their past performances with
other bridge and boardwalk projects within the City of Clearwater's Parks
portfolio. Their ability to deliver quality services, expedite designated timelines,
and communicate clearly with the client makes them the CMAR to be
considered for this project.
This proposal is for the replacement of the existing 10 foot wide by 370-foot-long
Page 8
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
boardwalk and associated handrails at Coachman Ridge Park. The current
materials of the existing bridge are comprised of severely degraded and
splintering wood that needs to be removed. To ensure residents' safety, a
longer lifespan of the structure and reduced staff maintenance, the use of
fiberglass reinforced composite lumber material accompanied by stainless
steel screws has been chosen to replace the failing wood materials, screws,
and hardware. Additionally, black vinyl coated small grid mesh fencing will be
installed along the handrails to provide visibility of the natural beauty for children
as well as patrons in wheelchairs, additional safety, and enhanced structural
stability.
Additional operating funds will not be needed for this project. By using a more
sustainable product like composite lumber, operating costs should decrease as
there will be less maintenance requirements. The existing wood material lasted
only five years while the fiberglass reinforced composite lumber has an
expected wear life of 25 years.
This contract is for a period of 120 calendar days, to begin upon issuance of a
notice to proceed.
This item is consistent with the Community Development Code as well as the
Comprehensive and Strategic Plans.

On August 20, 2015, the City Council approved a Facility Use Agreement with
the Clearwater Horseshoe (1326 South Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue),
Clearwater Lawn Bowls (1040 Calumet Street) and Clearwater Shuffleboard
(1020 Calumet Street) Clubs for the use and supervision of certain city-owned
facilities used for their various recreational activities.
The current agreement with the three groups expired on December 31, 2023.
Since January 1, 2024, the Parties have been operating on a month-to-month
basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of the previous Facility Use
Agreement. The clubs have expressed their desire to continue and extend their
relationships with the city by renewing their respective agreements for another
year beginning June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025 with four one-year renewal
options.
The City shall provide financial support in the form of reimbursement of
stormwater fees where applicable, and up to $2,500 towards operating
expenses for the maintenance of courts and equipment as part of these
agreements. The City will provide landscape and maintenance services, as
well as capital improvements to the properties. Each group is required to
provide an annual report of activities consisting of the number of clients served,
costs of such service, commentary on the viability, effectiveness, and trends
affecting the program and success of same.

7. Public Works
7.1 Approve a Purchase Order with Station Square Condominium Association, Inc., of
Clearwater FL, for increased building insurance premiums and the 2024 Condo
Association owners' fees in a cumulative not-to-exceed amount of$139,863.42 pursuant
to Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.563(1)(d), Non-Competitive purchases, and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
In 2009, the City entered into an agreement with Station Square Condominium
Association Inc. (Station Square) to own and operate the first 100 parking
spaces in that garage as public parking. Due to this agreement, the City is a
member of Station Square. Membership requires the City to pay Condo fees to
the association. In 2011, the City entered into a Maintenance Agreement that
clarified some of the City's maintenance responsibilities, and that Agreement
renews each year along with the Association's budget. Each year Station
Square passes a budget and the City encumbers funds to pay a share of the
assessed fees. In the budget passed for 2024 by Station Square Condominium
Association, the City's share of the assessed fees due are $90,113.52.
In addition, Station Square was made aware in early 2023 that their insurance
company was canceling coverage. The Association Board conducted a search
for a new insurance carrier, resulting in a significant premium increase of
$419,000.00. The 2023 Station Square budget was not adequate to cover the
increase, hence in June 2023, the Station Square Board voted to approve a
special assessment, divided among all the property owners in Station Square.
As a property owner in the building, the City's portion of the new fees was an
additional $49,749.90 for a combined total of$139,863.42 owed to Station
Square Condo Association Inc. for calendar year 2024.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
To fund this years' increase, midyear budget amendments will transfer
$117,335.04 to 4351333-530330, Parking System Contractual Services, offset
by an increase of$117,335.04 of general parking revenue to fund Fiscal Year
2024 Condo Association owners' fees. The remaining portion of$22,528.38 will
be included in the budget for Fiscal Year 2025.
4351333-530300, Contractual Services
The City Manager disclosed she owns a unit in the condominium.
Councilmember Teixeira disclosed she owns a unit in the condominium and
will not be casting a vote in the matter.
Page 11
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
The City Attorney said, with Councilmember Teixeira declaring a voting
conflict, the item may remain on the Consent Agenda if there is consensus
among the remaining councilmembers for the agenda item to remain on
consent.
In response to questions, Parking Division Manager Jeremy Alleshouse said
a majority of the public parking is utilized by city employees. When the new
city hall is constructed, the parking spaces will no longer be used by city
employees. Assistant City Manager Dan Slaughter said the parking garage is
not a marketable product and loses money each year. The City Attorney said
the agreement was reaffirmed in 2011 and set to automatically renew each
year. He said the City could get out of the contract but that will force the
condominium association to foreclose. Staff has confirmed the amount billed
to the City is 11% of the dues, which is the correct amount.
7.2 Approve a purchase order to Millenium Products, Inc. of Saint Petersburg, FL for two
Wanco Small-Size Solar Surveillance Camera Trailers in the amount of$108,344.56,
pursuant to Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.563 (1)(c), Piggyback, and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The design of a stormwater management system is based upon several
factors, including but not limited to topography and historical rainfall data. Using
data pertinent to the stormwater management system design, engineers
calculate stormwater flows, and design systems to convey those flows to areas
where lives and property are safeguarded.
Over time as subsequent modifications occur to the stormwater basin,
stormwater flows are modified and redirected as development occurs and land
uses change. It is well known that even the best stormwater management
system design is not able to predict with certainty, the impacts and behavior of
stormwater for every storm because of widely varying degrees of a given
storm's intensity and duration.
The purchase and strategic deployment of these remote surveillance camera
systems will allow staff to monitor and record stormwater impacts as they
occur and use their observations to better understand the stormwater system's
performance and make better-understood recommendations for maintenance
or improvements to the system.
Authorization to piggyback GS-07F-0031W, Surveillance Equipment, Light
Towers, Traffic Safety Equipment valid through October 4, 2024, is requested
for the purchase of two Wanco Small-Size Solar Camera Trailers totaling
$108,344.56.

Page 12
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
Funds are available in Capital Improvement Project 319-C1908, Stormwater
Vehicles & Equipment, to fund this purchase order.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
Adopt responsive levels of service for public facilities and amenities, and identify
resources required to sustain that level of service. Support proactive climate
resiliency strategies based in science to protect natural and built environments
from impacts associated with sea level rise. Generate organizational success
through collaborative engagement and inclusive decision-making to create
shared value outcomes. Preserve community livability through responsible
development standards, proactive code compliance, and targeted revitalization.
7.3 Approve a purchase order to United Rentals (North America) Inc for the rental of eight
portable pumps for term June 1, 2024 through August 27, 2024 in the amount of$69,588,
with the option for a three-month renewal in the amount of$69,588, pursuant to
Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.563(1)(c), piggyback, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Given the increased sea levels, with hurricane season rapidly approaching and
based upon the successful results of the initial supplemental stormwater pump
deployment on North Beach, it is staff's desire to ensure that supplemental
stormwater pumps are deployed and ready for service at each of the eight
gravity stormwater outfalls on North Beach.
On April 29, 2024, City Council approved the purchase of four portable pumps
from MWI Corporation. With hurricane season quickly approaching, rental
pumps are necessary to reduce overload and surcharge of the stormwater
conveyance by pumping stormwater discharge versus relying on gravity flow,
which is impossible during periods of high tides. The current rental pumps are
deployed at four intersections of Bay Esplanade and Bruce Ave., Carlouel Dr.,
Laurel, and Gardenia streets until the purchased pumps can be delivered.
The current rental pump term is approaching its expiration and cannot be
extended. Public Works is awaiting a delivery date of the new purchased
pumps. To ensure continuous pumping operations, multiple
"cooperative-qualified" vendors were contacted for pump availability and pricing
to provide eight 4-in. rental pumps during the time gap.
United Rentals provided two separate quotes for the eight pumps. The
proposals are a piggyback off Sourcewell contract#062320-URI valid through
August 27, 2024, with the option for a one-year renewal. Public Works
anticipates pump rental through August 27, 2024, with a 3-month renewal
through November 30, 2024 included to cover a worst-case scenario, a delayed
delivery of the purchased pumps. The 6-month total rental is $139,176.
If an additional rental term is needed, Public Works will bring a request for an
increase to Council for approval.

8. Planning
8.1 Approve amendments to the Community Development Code, to provide for accessory
dwelling units in certain residential zoning districts, to provide additional standards for car
washes, to establish standards for solar energy systems and density bonuses for the use
of graywater systems, to update mechanical screening requirements, to remove outdated
requirements related to concurrency, to update standards for traffic impact studies, to
require a notice of application for Level Two cases prior to the Development Review
Committee meeting, and various other formatting and editorial clarifications; and pass
Ordinance 9758-24 on first reading.
Proposed Ordinance No. 9758-24 contains numerous staff-initiated
amendments to the Community Development Code, which come from the city's
adoption of Clearwater 2045, the city's new Comprehensive Plan, including
updating references to Clearwater 2045 that are now outdated; Greenprint 2.0,
the city's sustainability plan; and changes to state statutes through recent
legislation. Additional amendments to certain zoning districts add review criteria
or bring consistency between all districts; add Level Two applications to those
Page 14
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
that are noticed after an application is deemed complete; and other minor
amendments that clean up typographical errors within the code or update
graphics to help provide additional clarity.
The largest amendments are the establishment of accessory dwelling units as
a newly permitted use within certain residential zoning districts and the
associated development standards for that use. This proposed amendment will
also reestablish accessory dwelling unit as a permitted use within the
Downtown District. Accessory dwellings are currently permitted in certain
nonresidential zoning districts, and this proposed amendment will add additional
development criteria for accessory dwelling units within the identified districts.
The creation of accessory dwelling units is supported by Clearwater 2045.
Below is a summary of the substantive amendments included in the ordinance.
• Establishment of accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, as a permitted use in
certain residential zoning districts.
• Establishment of floating solar energy systems as required by House Bill
1411, 2022.
• Creation of density bonuses for the use of graywater systems for certain
residential developments as required by Senate Bill 64, 2021.
• Revisions to the timeframe for the placement of temporary housing after
a natural disaster as required by Senate Bill 250, 2023.
• Updates noticing requirements to provide affected property owners and
registered neighborhood associations advanced notice of Level Two
applications prior to the Development Review Committee meeting.
• Creation of two flexibility criteria under the Commercial (C) Zoning
District for car washes to address design changes that have occurred in
the car wash industry.
• Creation of regulations for solar energy systems to ensure consistent
development of such systems and to support the city's sustainability
goals.
• Allows for projects utilizing or requesting affordable housing density
bonuses to be approved at a staff level review.
• Creates new definitions and modifies existing definitions for clarity and to
remove outdated information.
• Minor editorial changes to bring clarity and consistency throughout the
code; update or remove outdated references; and other typographical or
formatting amendments.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
text amendments to the Community Development Code are consistent with and
further the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the
Community Development Code as outlined in the staff report.
The Community Development Board, in its capacity as the Local Planning
Agency (LPA), reviewed the proposed amendments to the Community
Development Code at its meeting on April 16, 2024, and unanimously
recommended approval with the modification for the definition for Dwelling Unit,
Accessory be amended to ensure that an accessory dwelling unit could not be
Page 15
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
used as a short term rental in residential zoning districts.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
These proposed amendments support the Environmental Stewardship and
Community Well-Being goals of the city's Strategic Plan by providing
amendments to the Community Development Code that aim to increase
aesthetic appeal, livability, and the use of sustainable practices within the city.
Planner Kyle Brotherton provided a PowerPoint presentation.
In response to questions, Mr. Brotherton said research showed that most
municipal codes developed a maximum square footage for ADUs and a
percentage for the principle structure. The ADU is an accessory to the
primary house. The average house size in the city is 1,500 sq. ft. and staff
settled on the 50% of the primary dwelling unit, regardless of the lot or
primary dwelling size.
Discussion ensued with consensus to remove the owner occupancy
requirement. Staff was directed to draft a motion to amend for the council
meeting.
8.2 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low
(RL) and Preservation (P) and initial Zoning Atlas designations of Low Density
Residential (LDR) and Preservation (P) Districts for 1239 Brookside Drive together with
the abutting right-of-way of Beverly Circle North and pass Ordinances 9759-24, 9760-24,
and 9761-24 on first reading. (ATA2024-03002)
The Planning and Development Department is executing an Agreement to
Annex (ATA) that was signed on January 5, 2023, at the request of the property
owner. Execution of this ATA will result in the annexation of a 0.255-acre
property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a detached dwelling. The
property is located on the northeast corner of Brookside Drive and Beverly
Circle North. The property was recently developed with a detached dwelling
under Pinellas County's jurisdiction and has been issued a Certificate of
Occupancy. The Development Review Committee is proposing that the
0.08-acres of abutting Beverly Circle North right-of-way not currently within city
limits also be annexed. The property is contiguous to existing city boundaries to
the south and west. It is proposed that the property be assigned Future Land
Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL) and Preservation (P) and Zoning
Atlas designations of Low Density Residential (LDR) and Preservation (P).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Community Development Code
Page 16
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
Section 4-604.E as follows:
• The property currently receives water, sanitary sewer, and solid waste
service from the city. The required sewer impact fee has been paid in
full and the property was connected to the city's closest sanitary sewer
line located in the adjacent Brookside Drive right-of-way at the time of
construction. The property is located within Police District II and service
will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645
Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to
this property by Station #47 located at 1460 Lakeview Road. The city
has adequate capacity to serve this property with police, fire and EMS
service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on
public services and their levels of service; and
• The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following
objective and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective PI 9.1 Continue to work with Pinellas County in the
orderly annexation of the city's existing enclaves.
Policy PI 9.1.9 Invoke agreements to annex where properties
located within enclaves meet the contiguity requirements of
Chapter 171, F.S.
• The proposed Residential Low (RL) and Preservation (P) Future Land
Use Map categories are consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of the property. The proposed RL designation primarily
permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The P
designation is proposed to be applied to continue to recognize the
watershed on the property. The proposed zoning districts to be assigned
to the property are the Low Density Residential (LDR) and Preservation
(P) Districts. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses
allowed in the districts and the property exceeds the district's minimum
dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore
consistent with the Countywide Plan and the city's Comprehensive Plan
and Community Development Code; and
• The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing city
boundaries to the south and west; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
This annexation petition supports the Deliver Effective and Efficient Services by
Optimizing City Assets and Resources goal of the city's Strategic Plan by
Page 17
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
reducing enclaves and delivering city services to properties within the city's
service boundary. This petition also supports Ensure Exceptional Communities
and Neighborhoods Where Everyone Can Thrive goal by better unifying
neighborhoods and reducing issues with multiple jurisdictions.
8.3 Approve the First Amendment to Development Agreement between the City of
Clearwater and Gotham Property Acquisitions, LLC and The DeNunzio Group pursuant to
Community Development Code Section 4-606; adopt Resolution 24-09, and authorize
the appropriate officials to execute same. (DVA2022-06001A)
The properties subject to this first amendment to the Development Agreement
include a portion of the former City Hall site located at the northwest corner
South Osceola Avenue and Pierce Street (112 South Osceola Avenue) and a
portion of the former Harborview site located north of Cleveland Street (50 North
Osceola Avenue). The properties are located within the Central Business
District (CBD) future land use category, the Downtown (D) District and the
Downtown Core Character District of the Clearwater Downtown
Redevelopment Plan.
The proposed first amendment to the Development Agreement between the
City and the Developer (i.e., Gotham Property Acquisitions, LLC and The
DeNunzio Group, LLC) includes a total of 12 amendment and includes the
following main provisions:
• Incorporates new concept plan for City Hall with 400 units and 12,400
square feet of commercial space at a height of 295 feet and 440 parking
spaces. Proposal requires request of 211 units from the Public
Amenities Incentive Pool

visible from Osceola Avenue
• Removes provisions relating to the construction and funding of the
pedestrian bridge
• Provides for a Purchase Price of$3.5 million for City Hall

• Provides for liquidated damages of$1,000,000 if not substantially
complete by December 31, 2028
• Provide CRA Incentive of$2,250,000 at Substantial Completion
• Provides CRA Incentive of$1,000,000 if closing occurs by March 1,

The proposal is in compliance with the standards for Development Agreements
contained in Section 4-606, is consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan
and Community Development Code, and furthers the vision of Downtown
redevelopment as set forth in Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan, as
determined by the Planning and Development Department.
The Community Development Board reviewed this first amendment to the
Development Agreement at its public hearing on April 16, 2024 and unanimously
recommended approval with the following revision to Section 4.12.
Section 4.12. Parking. The Project shall include a minimum of four hundred
forty 440 parking spaces at the City Hall Site (or a ratio of 1.1:1 parking spaces,
whichever is greater). The

the Harborview Site for a total of one hundred sixty-nine (169) spaces. The
Harborview Site parking garage will be subterranean.
This proposed amendment has been incorporated into the Agreement.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funding for the CRA incentives has been previously approved by the CRA
Trustees. The City parking contribution of$22 million included in the original
development agreement will be funded from Parking System Fund reserves at
closing.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
This project involves a public-private partnership focused on creating an active
edge along Coachman Park that will bridge the waterfront to Downtown. The
Page 19
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
amendment implements Economic and Housing Opportunity Objectives 2.1
and 2.3 which focus on strengthening public-private initiatives that attract,
develop, and retain diversified business sectors and promoting Clearwater as a
premier destination for entertainment, cultural experiences, tourism, and
national sporting events. Additionally, this key redevelopment project
implements the Community Well-Being Objective 3.2 of preserving community
livability through responsible development standards, proactive code
compliance, and targeted revitalization.
Planning and Development Director Gina Clayton provided a PowerPoint
presentation.
9. Public Utilities
9.1 Approve a purchase order increase to H and H Liquid Sludge Disposal, Inc of Branford,
FL and Merrell Bros, Inc of Kokomo, IN for the hauling and disposal of biosolids in the
cumulative amount of$525,000.00 bringing the total amount to $3,580,800.00 pursuant to
Invitation to Bid (ITB) 45-21, Biosolids Management Services and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
On November 4, 2021, Council authorized a purchase order to both H&H Liquid
Sludge Disposal and Merrell Bros, Inc for the hauling and disposal of biosolids in
the cumulative amount of$2,778,000.00 for the term November 5, 2021 through
November 4, 2024. An increase of$277,800.00 (10%) was approved by the
City Manager on March 13, 2024, bringing the cumulative total to $3,055,800.00.
Many factors have contributed to the need to add additional funds for Biosolids
Management to include the Marshall Street (MS WRF) digester being offline
from January 3, 2022 through January 24, 2023 for emergency repairs, the cost
of disposal increase due to the requirement to haul undigested sludge to a
Residuals Management Facility (RMF) instead of land applying, Producer Price
Index (PPI) increases and extensive repairs to the centrifuge. With this
increase the amount of the purchase order will be $3,580,800.00.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in cost code 4211354 and 4211355, to fund this contract.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
Biosolids disposal is required by law and is part of environmental stewardship,
superior public service, and community wellbeing.
9.2 Approve a Work Order to Tetra Tech, Inc., for rehabilitating the effluent sand filters at the
Page 20
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes May 13, 2024
City's Northeast Water Reclamation Facility (23-0045-UT) in the amount of$315,951.00
pursuant to RFQ 34-23, Engineer of Record (EOR) Consulting Services and authorize the
appropriation officials to execute same. (consent)
The NE WRF effluent filtration system includes 12 filter cells constructed of
poured-in-place concrete and incorporates the Hydro Clear® pulsed-bed sand
filter process. The filters are designed to remove particulates; over time issues
such as sand media loss, defective air lines, valve corrosion and leakage,
ceiling cracks, and concrete floor spalling arise. These issues can lead to a
reduction in process efficiency. The purpose of this project is to remove the
existing filter media, clean and inspect the fouled media bed, and replenish it
with new media. Additionally, it involves repairing damaged components. Tetra
Tech will provide design, permitting, and bidding services associated with
rehabilitation of the effluent sand filter system.
Project benefits are improved process efficiencies, ongoing rehabilitation, and
restoration strategy of treatment infrastructure.
Tetra Tech was selected due to the ability of their professional personnel and
past performance on similar projects. Tetra Tech is known for delivering a
quality project and product. They have experience and understand different
types of utilities as well as specific experience with Clearwater's facilities.
It is anticipated the design will be completed within approximately 120 days from
the date of council approval. Construction costs are estimated at $2.2 million,
for a total estimated project cost of approximately $2.5 million for design and
construction. Funding for the construction costs will be provided by a transfer of
available Water& Sewer fund reserves to capital improvement project M1906,
Northeast Plant R&R.
The City of Clearwater Public Utilities Department is responsible for owning,
operating, and maintaining the NE WRF.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
3277327-530100-M 1906
Funds are available in capital improvement project M1906, Northeast Plant
R&R, to fund this work order.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
In furtherance of the Council's Strategic Plan to achieve High Performing
Government by maintaining public infrastructure through systematic
management efforts, approval of a Work Order and purchase order to Tetra
Tech, Inc. is requested.

10. Solid Waste
10.1Approve an increase on purchase order to RDK Assets, Inc of Tampa, FL for solid waste
and recycling truck rentals in the amount of$204,000.00 for a total not to exceed amount
of$300,500.00 pursuant to Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.563 (1)(c),
Piggyback, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The City's fleet of solid waste/recycling collection vehicles has encountered
significant operational challenges due to mechanical failures and the delayed
delivery of new trucks. To ensure uninterrupted solid waste and recycling
services to our residents, it is essential to procure additional trucks on a rental
basis.
Authorization to piggyback City of Boynton Beach ITB 011-2515-19/IT which has
been extended through March 19, 2025 is requested. This contract provides for
the monthly rental of trucks under the same terms, conditions and pricing as the
current bid agreement term.
On October 24, 2024, Assistant City Manager approved a purchase order to
RDK Assets Inc in the amount of$96,500.00. With this increase, the total
amount needed for truck rentals will be $300,500.00.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
A mid-year budget amendment will increase operating cost code
4242083-544100, Equipment Rental, by $204,000.00 to fund this work order.
Offsetting revenues will be recognized from an allocation of Solid Waste and
Recycling Fund reserves.
USE OF RESERVE FUNDS:
Funding for this contract will be provided by mid-year budget amendment
allocating Solid Waste and Recycling Fund reserves of$204,000. The
remaining reserve balance, after 50% working capital reserves, is approximately
$24.3 million or 67% of the current Solid Waste and Recycling Fund operating
budget.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
This item falls under objective 1.3 (adopt responsive levels of service for public
facilities and amenities) within High Performing Government.
In response to questions, Solid Waste Assistant Director Jacolby
Washington said the City is leasing vehicles to address the shortage of
trucks. Fixing the breakdowns is taking longer than expected because the
purchased equipment is taking longer to receive. He said the Department is
just receiving the new trucks ordered during the 2020/2021 fiscal year.
