RE: Annexation of Property Located at 1755 S1. Anthony Drive, OS/29/16/94410/003/0050
Dear Mr. Haislip:
As you will recall this past summer you received information from us regarding your property
being voluntarily annexed and becoming part of the City of Clearwater. At that time you
indicated your approval to have your property annexed by the City and receive the benefits of
City services.
We are now preparing the applications for annexation of 22 enclave properties and have
scheduled public hearings with the Clearwater City Commission to approve the voluntary
annexations. The schedule of public hearings for these annexations is indicated below:
Community Development Board Hearing
City Commission Meeting - First Reading
City Commission Meeting - Second Reading
February 20, 2001
March 15,2001
April 5, 2001
There is no cost to you for the annexation process due to the fact that the City of Clearwater is
initiating the annexation.
Prior to each meeting you will receive an official public hearing notice from the City of
Clearwater that will provide you the time and location of the public hearings. You are welcome
to attend and participate in any of these public hearings.
After the City of Clearwater Commission public hearings are complete, the annexations will be
forwarded to the Pineiias Pianning Councii for review and a public hearing. You will be notified
when this public hearing is scheduled.
If you have any questions or need more information do not hesitate to call Etim Udoh, Senior
Planner, at (727) 562-4578.
Sincerely,

REVIEW COMMENTS:
ACREAGE:
14.2453 acres, m.o.1.

Northwest corner of Belleair Road and Belcher Road.
1. CONTIGUITY: The property is contiguous along its south side to the existing
City boundary, making the property legally eligible for annexation.
2. ENCLAVE:
3. WATER:
4. SEWER:
The property is not part of an enclave; nor does the annexation
of this property create an enclave.
Formal concurrency approval for water service capacity will be
required as part of the site plan review process for any future
development of this property.
The property is adjacent to the City of Largo Sewer District. As
a part of the annexation agreement, the City has agreed to
"construct a lateral sewer line on Belleair Road to the

PROPERTY line."
5. SOLID WASTE: The property currently contracts with private" solid waste
collectors. Upon annexation, private collection could continue until
such time as the contract between the property owner and the
private collector terminates. At that time, the City of Largo would
initiate solid waste collection service.

Road and Belcher Road and formal concurrency approval
for traffic impacts will be required as part of the site plan
review process for any future development of this property.

Re: Proposed annexation by the City of Largo
Case no. A5-45-99: Jurg Weiss property
Dear Mr. Healey:
Please be advised that the City of Largo will be annexing the above referenced property pursuant to Chapter 171,
Florida Statutes. For each property which is ten acres or more in area (excluding right-of-way), the PPC's
Municipal Annexation Review form has also been completed and enclosed.
Public meetings/hearings for this annexation are scheduled before the Largo City Commission on December 07,
1999, and January 04, 2000.
The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, and all necessary municipal
services are available to serve existing development.
If an annexed property is identified as a nonconforming use with respect to either Pinellas County or City of Largo
land use regulations, the annexation ordinance will ensure the property owner's right to maintain its existing legal,
nonconforming use status.
If you need any further information, please feel free to contact me at 587-6749.

Interoffice Correspondence Sheet
TO:
MAYOR AUNGST AND COMMISSIONERS
CITY OF CLEARWATER CITY COMMISSION
FROM:
RALPH STONE, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE:
PROPOSED CITY OF LARGO ANNEXATION
DA TE:
NOVEMBER 29, 1999
I am wrItmg to provide you with background information regarding the City of
Clearwater's annexation policies as they relate to the proposed City of Largo annexation on the
north side of Belleair Road. The City of Largo proposes to annex approximately 14.2 acres
located at the northwest comer of Belleair Road and Belcher Road. The City of Largo has
scheduled public hearings on December 7, 1999 and January 4, 2000 to consider this matter.
As you are aware, the City of Clearwater has an interlocal agreement with Pinellas
County which was approved on January 14, 1992. The agreement established a formal
Clearwater planning area according to a map and legal description and granted Clearwater the
ability to plan for all property within the planning area, whether or not specifically in the city
boundaries (Copy of Planning Area Map attached). In addition, the agreement allows a
simplified process for voluntary annexation applications that are 10 acres or less in size. The
simplified process eliminates the Pinellas Planning Council and Countywide Planning Agency
review if the property is annexed into the City with no change to the plan category as on the
Countywide Plan. The City of Clearwater has honored the interlocal agreement through
planning for all property in its planning area and pursuing annexations of properties only when
located within the planning area.
The City of Largo's proposed annexation is clearly within the City of Clearwater's
planning area as Belleair Road is the southern boundary of Clearwater's planning area. The
proposed annexation can currently be served by the City of Clearwater water and sewer services.
The Planning Department believes that this proposed annexation is inconsistent with the City's
approved planning area and is in direct conflict with the planning area concept to promote long
range, consistent, non-duplicative provision of services in this very urbanized county. The City
Manager and I have met with David Healey, Executive Director of the Pinellas Planning Council
and expressed our concerns about this proposed annexation. Mr. Healey also expressed grave
e
e
concerns regarding the inconsistency of the proposed Largo annexation with Clearwater's
planning area agreement and with sound planning principles.
The Planning Department recommends that the City Commission approve a resolution
opposing the proposed City of Largo annexation for the reasons cited above. Further, we
recommend that the Commission authorize the City staff to express these concerns at the public
hearings to be held by the City of Largo and in subsequent hearings with the Pinellas Planning
Council and Countywide Planning Authority.
I will be available at the work session to answer any questions that you may have. Thank
you for your consideration of this matter.

I will make contact with Chuck Kearns regarding the issue of the fire district however, I'm not sure of any current
provision in the agreement to specifically address this issue.

FW: !!! largo annexation in the clearwater planning area
Hardin, Cyndi
The geographic boundaries of our fire district are defined in the Agreement, therefore I'm inclined to agree that any
redefining of those boundaries would necessitate an amendment to the Agreement and include an approval by the
County Commission. The compensation we currently receive is not directly related to the geographic footprint of the
district. However, because the formula for compensation is tied to a comparison of property values between
incorporated fire district and unincorporated fire district, any annexation by Largo (or Clearwater) will reduce the
percentage of county funding the Fire department is eligible for. This assumption does not include any fluctuation in
property values.
Of additional concern for me, is that because we (as do all providers in the County) participate in an "automatic aid" and
"closest unit dispatch" agreement, the responsibility for providing Fire and EMS services to the area in question would not
automatically fall to Largo. The spirit of these agreements is to provide emergency services from a closer unit in a
neighboring jurisdiction "as needed", when the primary first-responder was busy elsewhere. To compel Clearwater to
provide regular service as a primary first-responder because we may be geographically closer, in the absence of funding,
would seem to conflict with the intent of the agreement. However, because the language of the current agreement didn't
anticipate or address these type issues, strict interpretation of the Agreement may require us provide the service.
Pam, because John led the legal effort for the current agreement, I've directed this to your attention for interpretation of
the language in that Agreement. By the way, I've never received copies of the executed agreement that took effect 10/1.
Ralph, I'm not sure if any of this helps but I'll try and get a response from the County Fire Coordinator and make
additional comments before 2pm tomorrow if appropriate. If you have any questions, my extension is 4326. Please let
me know if you need additional information.

Annexation of Property within Clearwater Planning Area by City of Largo
Importance:
High
The annexation of property which falls within the Clearwater Planning Area by another municipality may violate the intent
of the Interlocal Agreement entered into between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County. In addition, such an
annexation would need to be carefully scrutinized for consistency with the Countywide Comprehensive Plan, as adopted
by Pinellas County Ordinance No. 89-4. Finally, Florida Statutes Chapter 171 contains certain threshold requirements for
municipal annexations, including that the proposed area be reasonably compact and that the annexing municipality must
prepare a report setting forth plans to provide urban services to the area, including each major municipal service.
Ralph--the above is without seeing the annexation proposal, if you forward same to me I will examine it for any other
points...

Dear Mayor Feaster, Chairperson Parks and Chairman Kersteen:
I am writing in regard to the proposed annexation (2140 Belleair Road, Case A5-45-99) by the City of Largo north of
Bellem- Road adj,lCent to the municipal boundaries of the City of Clearwater and within the City of Clrurwater's
Planning Area, water, sewer and fire districts. The Gty of Clearwater opposes the proposed annexation and would like
to share with you our concerns in preparation for the upcoming pubic hearings on this matter.
The City of Clearwater believes that the proposed annexation by the Gty of Largo violates or is inconsistent with the
lnterlocal Agreement between the Gty of Clearwater and Pinellas County; the lnterlocal Agreement among the Cities of
Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Pinellas County ("the Tri-Cities Agreement"); Water and Sewer Service Area;
the Fire Services Agreement with Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority; and with Florida Statutes regarding
municipal annexation. The specific bases for our objections are described below.
lnterlocal A~eement between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County
On January 14, 1992, the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County entered into an agreement that established a
formal Clearwater planning area according to a map and legal description. The lnterlocal agreement granted Clearwater
the ability to plan for all property within the planning area, whether or nor specifically in the city boundaries. In
addition, the Agreement grants the City of Clearwater the ability to annex properties within the designated planning area
and simplified the annexation process provided no change in the Future Land Use Plan is proposed.

The southern edge of dearwater's Planning Area is generally Belleair Road; however, there are several parcels south of
Belleair Road which, according to City records, had previously been annexed and were included in the Planning Area.
These parcels south of Belleair Road were annexed by dearwater beginning in 1950 with the last annexation south of
Belleair Road approved in 1989. There has been some speculation that the City of dearwater annexed properties south
of Belleair Road after the 1992 agreement. Both the City derk's office and the Planning Department research this and
found that no annexation to dearwater south of Belleair occurred after the interlocal agreement.
The property proposed for annexation by the City of Largo is north of Belleair Road and clearly within the Clearwater
Planning Area as defined by the 1992 Agreement. If the proposed annexation were approved, it would represent an
intruSion into Clearwater's Planning Area and a potential violation of the Interlocal Agreement.
Interlocal A eement amon the Cities of Lar 0 Pinellas Park St. Petersb
A~eement")
and Pinellas CO\ll1 "the Tri-Cities
On November 13, 1990, the Cities of Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Pinellas Comty entered into an
agreement which established the T ri-City Extraterritorial Planning Area. Similar to the City of Clerrwater's Interlocal
Agreement with the ColUlty, the Tri-Cities Agreement also granted the three cities the ability to include the planning
area in the individual city's plans and to annex property within the planning area in a simplified process provided no
change in the Future Land Use Plan is proposed.
The important feature of this agreement is that the Extraterritorial Planning Area establishes Belleair Road as the
northern bolUldaty reflecting dearwater's Planning Area beginning north of Belleair Road. The proposed annexation,
if approved, would represent an intrusion into dearwater's Planning Area and a potential violation of the Tri-Cities
Agreement.
Fire Services A~eement with Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority
On October 1, 1999, the City of dearwater entered into a ten-year agreement with the Pinellas CO\ll1ty Fire Protection
Authority which establishes a specific geographic area within which dearwater will provide fire protection service,
whether or not the property is within the City bonndaries. The Fire Service Agreement is necessary since Pinellas
Connty does not have a fire department and therefore, cannot serve unincorporated properties. In general, the
municipality located closest to the unincorporated properties has an agreement with the Fire Service Authority to
provide the service. The general bonndaries of dearwater's exclusive fire service area are Curlew Road on the north to
Belleair Road on the south and from Clearwater Bay to Old Tampa Bay.
In addition to the fire service agreement, Clearwater and many other fire departments have an automatic aid agreement
which provides response when the primary fire department is not able to respond or when additional service is needed
for an event. The location of the proposed annexation will most likely trigger the need for the City of Clearwater to
respond for an event. FlUlding for the fire service is based on a formula comparing property values of unincorporated
areas served by the City as a relationship to incorporated property values. Therefore, if this property is annexed by the
City of Largo, the City of Clearwater may be required to respond but will not realize the additional funding necessary to
pay for the fire protection services.
Although there are mechanisms in place to avoid any disruption in fire protection, the proposed annexation is in
conflict ""1th the public purpose of the Fire Protection Authority to provide comprehensive fire protection in Pinellas
County. In addition, the funding formula would reward the City of Largo by annexing the property while other
agreements would compel the City of Clearwater to respond in an emergency without fair funding rettuned to
dearwater.
. .
.
e
Water and Sewer Service Area
In addition to the above-cited issues, the proposed annexation property is in both the City of Clearwater's sewer and
water districts. The City of dearwater developed long-range utility plans based on the botuldaries of the sewer and
water districts and has entered into fmancing arrangements and expended funds to provide utility service to the sewer
and water service districts. The City also believes that the proposal is inconsistent with the Sewer Service Area
agreement between the City of Clearwater and the City of Largo which also defmes Belleair Road as the service area
botuldaty.
dearly, the combination of these points leads to the conclusion that a great deal of effort regarding a wide range of
services has been expended to develop sensible well- planned municipal botuldaries. In the absence of these kinds of
botuldaries and agreements, local governments and its citizens are hanned through inefficient expenditures for services
and/ or litigation that should be avoided. The City of Clearwater believes that the proposed annexation is inconsistent
with State law and will review legal options that preclude the proposed annexation.
In summary, the City of Clearwater opposes this proposed annexation by the City of Largo and requests the City to
carefully consider these objections.

Denise, on the first line I've removed the language referring to "a second" agreement because there have been more in

Mark Ely asked me to pass on the following information to you regarding the Belmont Trail and Walgreen
an nexations/rezonings.
1. Ord. #4251, approved on 12-18-86 - annexed the Belmont Trailer Park and vacant area west of
Walgreen's. Ord. #4236, passed on 12-18-86 rezoned this property.
2. Ord. #4764, approved 4-20-89 - annexed Walgreen property. Ord. #4766 rezoned property on 4-6-89.
Note difference in date.
On one of Mark maps, the zoning of South Rich Dr. appears "As of 1-14-85"

Clearly, the combination of these points leads to the conclusion that a great deal of effort

Interlocal Agreement between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County
On January 14, 1992, the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County entered into an
agreement that established a formal Clearwater planning area according to a map and legal
description. The Interlocal agreement granted Clearwater the ability to plan for all property
within the planning area, whether or nor specifically in the city boundaries. In addition, the
Agreement grants the City of Clearwater the ability to annex properties within the designated
planning area and simplified the annexation process provided no change in the Future Land Use
Plan is proposed.
The southern edge of Clearwater's Planning Area is generally Belleair Road; however,
there are several parcels south of Belleair Road which, according to City records, had previously
been annexed and were included in the Planning Area. These parcels south of Belleair Road
were annexed by Clearwater beginning in 1950 with the last annexation south of Belleair Road
approved in 1989.
The property proposed for annexation by the City of Largo is north of Belleair Road and
clearly within the Clearwater Planning Area as defined by the 1992 Agreement. If the proposed
annexation were approved, it would represent an intrusion into Clearwater's Planning Area and a
potential violation of the Interlocal Agreement.
Interlocal Agreement among the Cities of Largo. Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Pinellas
County ("the Tri-Cities Agreement")
On November 13, 1990, the Cities of Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Pinellas
County entered into an agreement which established the Tri-City Extraterritorial Planning Area.
Similar to the City of Clearwater's Interlocal Agreement with the County, the Tri-Cities
Agreement also granted the three cities the ability to include the planning area in the individual
city's plans and to annex property within the planning area in a simplified process provided no
change in the Future Land Use Plan is proposed.
The important feature of this agreement is that the Extraterritorial Planning Area
establishes Belleair Road as the northern boundary reflecting Clearwater's Planning Area

On October 1, 1999, the City of Clearwater entered into a second ten-year agreement
with the Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority which establishes a specific geographic area
within which Clearwater will provide fire protection service, whether or not the property is
within the City boundaries. The Fire Service Agreement is necessary since Pinellas County does
not have a fire department and therefore, cannot serve unincorporated properties. In general, the
municipality located closest to the unincorporated properties has an agreement with the Fire
Service Authority to provide the service. The general boundaries of Clearwater's exclusive fire

Dear Mayor Feaster, Chairperson Parks and Chairman Kersteen:
I am writing in regard to the proposed annexation (2140 Belleair Road, Case A5-45-99)

Proposed Largo Annexation
As you probably know, we are in a war (at least minor skirmish) with the City of Largo re their proposed anenxation at the
northwest corner of Belleair Road and Belcher. I will bring you a map of the proposed site. I need to know exactly where
the closest City of Clearwater sewer and water lines are that could serve this property. Also, Largo is claiming that the
developer came to the City of Clearwater and was told that we could not serve them with either sewer or water. Anyone
in your shop remember any conversations about this? Any and all help greatly appreciated. The first public hearing is
tomorrow (sorry for the short notice) Tuesday, at 7 pm. Thanks Mike.

by the City of Largo that is north of Belleair Road and west of Belcher Road; and
Whereas, this property is in the City of Clearwater Planning Area as identified in the
adopted interlocal planning area agreement between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas
County; and
Whereas, this property is outside of the City of Largo Planning Area as identified in the
adopted "Tri-cities" interlocal planning area agreement between the City of Largo, the

northern boundary of the City of Largo as Belleair Road; and
Whereas, this property is in the City of Clearwater Sewer Service Area as defined in the

Interdepartmental Correspondence Sheet
TO:
Cyndi Hardin, Assistant Planning Director J
Mike Quillen, Assistant Director ofEngineerinf \
FROM:.
COPIES:
Mahshid Arasteh, City Engineer
SUBJECT:
Property at Northwest Comer of Belle air and Belcher Roads
DATE:
December 29, 1999
This memorandum is to provide information on the location of City of Clearwater water and sanitary sewer
facilities in the vicinity of the subject property.
Water: Water service is available at three different locations.
a) An 8" water main on the west side of Belcher Road, immediately adjacent to this site.
b) A 6" water line on the east side of Belcher Road.
c) A 16" water main on the north side of Belleair Road which interconnects with a 16" Pinellas County
water main.
The recommended connection point would be to the 8" line on Belcher Road.
Sanitary Sewer: There are three different options available to connect to City sanitary sewer.
a) A City manhole on the west side of Belcher Road in front of Belleair Garden Apartments,
approximately 450' north of the site. This is a shallow manhole and a private pump station and force
main would be required to connect.
b) A City manhole on Wistful Vista Drive, approximately 300' east of the site. This is also a shallow
manhole and a private pump station and force main would be required to connect.
c) A private manhole in the Belcher Pines complex immediately north of the site. This manhole ties in to
the City sanitary system on Belcher Road via a private pump station and force main. It is
approximately 150' north of the property line and is 5' deep. There is a slight possibility that a gravity
connection could be made to this manhole, but more likely a pump station and force main would again
be required. A private easement between the two property owners would be necessary.
The recommended connection point would be to the City manhole on the west side of Belcher Road.
I have not found anyone in this Department who would have said that sewer or water service was "not
available" for this property. Various inquiries have been made over the past few years, at which times staff
has explained the available options. Hopefully this information is of assistance. If you have any questions
or need additional information, please call me x4743.

Re: City of Clearwater's Intention to Initiate Conflict Resolution Procedures
Prior to Initiating Court Proceedings to Resolve Conflict
Dear Mr. Stanton:
Pursuant to Florida Statutes 9164.1051 this letter along with the attached
resolution shall serve as notice of the City of Clearwater's intent to initiate conflict
resolution procedures. On January 4, 2000, the City of Largo adopted Ordinance
2000-17 annexing an approximately 14-acre tract of real property to the north of
Belleair Road. The property is within the Clearwater planning area established by
Interlocal Agreement between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County and is
outside the City of Largo planning area.
The property is within the City of Clearwater's sewer service area, water service
area, and fire district. The action of the City of Largo violates the provisions of Florida
Statute 9171 regarding the ability of annexing the municipality to provide services to
the annexed property. This action of the City of Largo materially adversely affects the
City of Clearwater.
Therefore, the conflict to be resolved is whether the City of Largo lawfully
adopted Ordinance No.2000-17 in view of the provisions of the Interlocal Agreement
between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County, the Tri-Cities Agreement and
other Agreements relating to services districts, and whether said Ordinance meets the
requirements contained in Florida Statutes Chapter 171 for annexation of the subject
property.

Dear Mayor Feaster, Chairperson Parks and Chairman Kersteen:
I am writing in regard to the proposed annexation (2140 Belleair Road, Case AS-4S-99) by the City of Largo north of
Belleair Road adjacent to the municipal boundaries of the City of Clearwater and within the City of Clearwater's
Planning Area, water, sewer and fire districts. The City of CleaIWater opposes the proposed annexation and would like
to share with you our concerns in preparation for the upcoming pubic hearings on this mauer.
The City of deaIWater believes that the proposed annexation by the City of Largo violates or is inconsistent with the
Interlocal Agreement between the City of CleaIWater and Pinellas County; the Interlocal Agreement among the Cities of
Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Pinellas County ("the Tri-Cries Agreement"); Water and Sewer SeI'\~ce Area;
the Fire Services Agreement with Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority; and with Florida Statutes regarding
municipal annexation. The specific bases for our objections are described below.
Interlocal A~eement between the City of CleaIWater and Pinellas County
On January 14, 199~ the City of CleaIWater and Pinellas County entered into an agreement that established a
formal CleaIWater planning area according to a map and legal description. The Interlocal agreement granted CleaIWater
the ability to plan for all property within the planning area, whether or nor specifically in the city boundaries. In
addition, the Agreement grants the City of CleaIWater the ability to annex properties within the designated planning area
and simplified the annexation process provided no change in the Furore Land Use Plan is proposed.

The southern edge of Clearwater's Planning Area is generally Belleair Road; however, there are several parcels south of
Belleair Road which, according to City records, had previously been annexed and were included in the Planning Area.
These parcels south of Belleair Road were annexed by Clearwater beginning in 1950 with the last annexation south of
Belleair Road approved in 1989. There has been some speculation that the City of Clearwater annexed properties south
of Belleair Road after the 1992 agreement. Both the City Oerk's office and the Planning Department research this and
found that no annexation to Clearwater south of Belleair occurred after the interlocal agreement.
The property proposed for annexation by the City of Largo is north of Belleair Road and clearly within the Clearwater
Planning Area as defmed by the 1992 Agreement. If the proposed annexation were approved, it would represent an
intruSion into Clearwater's Planning Area and a potential violation of the Interlocal Agreement.
Interlocal A eement amon the Cities of L 0 Pinellas Park St. Petersb
Agreement")
and Pinellas Crun "the T ri-Cities
On November 13, 199~ the Cities of Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg and Pinellas Comty entered into an
agreement which established the Tri-City Extraterritorial Planning Area. Similar to the City of Cleuwater's Interlocal
Agreement with the County, the Tri-Cities Agreement also granted the three cities the ability to include the planning
area in the individual city's plans and to annex property within the planning area in a simplified process provided no
change in the Future Land Use Plan is proposed.
The important feature of this agreement is that the Extraterritorial Planning Area establishes Belleair Road as the
northern boundary reflecting Clearwater's Planning Area beginning north of Belleair Road. The proposed annexation,
if approved, would represent an intrusion into Clearwater's Planning Area and a potential violation of the Tri-Cities
Agreement.
Fire Services Agreement with Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority
On October 1, 1999, the City of Clearwater entered into a ten-year agreement with the Pinellas Coonty Fire Protection
Authority which establishes a specific geographic area within which Clearwater will provide fire protection service,
whether or not the property is within the City boundaries. The Fire Service Agreement is necessary since Pinellas
County does not have a fire department and therefore, cannot serve unincorporated properties. In general, the
municipality located closest to the unincorporated properties has an agreement with the Fire Service Authority to
provide the service. The general boundaries of Clearwater's exclusive fire service area are Curlew Road on the north to
Belleair Road on the south and from Clearwater Bay to Old Tampa Bay.
In addition to the fire service agreement, Clearwater and many other fire departments have an automatic aid agreement
which provides response when the primaIy fire department is not able to respond or when additional service is needed
for an event. The location of the proposed annexation will most likely trigger the need for the City of Clearwater to
respond for an event. Funding for the fire service is based on a formula comparing property values of unincorporated
areas served by the City as a relationship to incorporated property values. Therefore, if this property is annexed by the
City of Largo, the City of Clearwater may be required to respond but will not realize the additional funding necessary to
pay for the fire protection services.
Although there are mechanisms in place to avoid any disruption in fire protection, the proposed annexation is in
conflict with the public purpose of the Fire Protection Authority to provide comprehensive fire protection in Pinellas
County. In addition, the funding formula would reward the City of Largo by annexing the property while other
agreements would compel the City of Clearwater to respond in an emergency without fair funding returned to
Clearwater.
..
.
.
Water and Sewer Service Area
In addition to the above-cited issues, the proposed annexation property is in both the Gty of Clearwater's sewer and
water districts. The Gty of GeaIWater developed long-range utility plans based on the boundaries of the sewer and
water districts and has entered into fmancing arrangements and expended funds to provide utility service to the sewer
and water service districts. The Gty also believes that the proposal is inconsistent with the Sewer Service Area
agreement between the Gty of Clearwater and the City of Largo which also defmes Belleair Road as the service area
boundary.
Gearly, the combination of these points leads to the conclusion that a great deal of effort regarding a wide range of
services has been expended to develop sensible well- planned municipal boundaries. In the absence of these kinds of
boundaries and agreements, local governments and its citizens are harmed through inefficient expenditures for services
and/ or litigation that should be avoided. The Gty of CleaIWater believes that the proposed annexation is inconsistent
with State law and will review legal options that preclude the proposed annexation.
In smnmary, the City of Clearwater opposes this proposed annexation by the Gty of Largo and requests the Gty to
carefully consider these objections.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Case #CW 99-47 - City of Pinellas Park
This portion of 102nd A venue N. is currently classified as a 2 lane divided collector and is
scheduled to remain the same under the MPO's 2015 Long Range Plan.
The 1997 Level of Service (LOS) on 66th Street N. between Bryan Dairy Rd. and 78th Avenue
N. is "B", with or without the amendment. The projected 2015 LOS is "D", with or without the
amendment.
This portion of 66th Street N. is currently classified as a 6 lane divided principal arterial and is
scheduled to remain the same under the MPO's 2015 Long Range Plan.
Water/Sewer - The Pinellas County Water System services the subject area. The water supply
and wastewater demands attributable to the existing and proposed plan categories are
summarized below.
Existing Gallons/Day (GPD)
1,610
Proposed GPD
1,903
Net Change GPD
+293
According to the Countywide Plan Standards, the existing Commercial General Countywide
Plan Category creates a demand for 1,610 gpd of water. The proposed Industrial Limited
designation would create a demand for 1,903 gpd, resulting in a potential increase of some 293
gpd of water.
However, since the property is vacant, the actual increase in water consumption of approximately
293 gallons per day will be a functions of development of the subject property.
Additionally, the South Cross Bayou Wastewater Treatment Plant (operated by Pinellas County)
services the subject area. The South Cross Plant has a capacity of 28.5 million gallons per day
(mgd) and an average daily flow of 20.4 mgd. Adequate capacity exists to accommodate the
potential demand generated by this amendment.
Environmental - The subject area does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas that
would require separate classification as Preservation on either the City or Countywide Plan
Maps.
F. Related Planning Considerations
Land Use - The subject site is vacant and is proposed to be developed with a 15,000 sq.ft.
building to accommodate an light industrial use.
5
Jl
SUBJECT: Case #CW 99-47 - City of Pinellas Park
It should be noted that this amendment would appear to constitute spot zoning, in as much as it
will be surrounded by land designated as Commercial General. However, the larger area west
and north of the subject parcel is designated IL and includes many industrially developed
parcels. Also, it is the intention ofthe City of Pine lIas Park that as the City annexes the properties
to the north and west of the subject parcel that those annexed properties would be reclassified
as Industrial Limited, so as to reduce the amount of land designated as Commercial General on
the north side of 102nd A venue.
The City should collaborate with Pinellas County in the interim to ensure that these parcels are
designated IL.
The proposed IL Countywide Plan designation is generally compatible with the surrounding plan
designations which include CG to the north, east and west, and as stated earlier, IL to the west
and north, beyond the immediate adjacent parcels, and is compatible with the surrounding
existing uses which are predominantly heavy commercial and light industrial.
In summary, the proposed amendment to Industrial Limited is generally consistent with the
Countywide Rules and Policies and the subject area is an appropriate location in which to apply
the Countywide Plan Standards.

B. Compatibility and Consistency with the Countywide Plan Map Category Consistency
The proposed amendment is generally consistent with the portion of the Countywide Rules
regarding the "Purpose and Locational Characteristics" for the IL plan category which state the
following:
· Purpose - "...to depict those areas of the County that are now developed, or appropriate to be
developed, in a limited industrial manner; and so as to encourage the reservation and use of
consolidated areas for industrial use in a manner and location consistent with the surrounding
use, transportation facilities, and natural resource characteristics."
· Locational Characteristics - "...generally appropriate to locations with sufficient size to
encourage an industrial park type arrangement with provision for internal service access in
locations suitable for light industrial use with minimal adverse impact on adjoining uses; and
served by the arterial and thoroughfare highway network, as well as mass transit."
C. Consistency of Local Government Comprehensive Plan Standards and Zoning

Ratio (lSR) of 0.85.
· Other Standards - A planned industriaVmixed use project which constitutes a Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) or which comprises not less than fifty (50) acres may include
secondary Institutional; TransportationlUtility; Retail Commercial; Personal Service/Office
Support; CommerciaVBusiness Service; Commercial Recreation; and Transient
Accommodation uses ...
City Comprehensive Plan and Zoning - The City will designate this parcel IL on its future land
use map. The City's IL plan category has a maximum FAR of 0.55 and an ISR of 0.75 which
is consistent with the Countywide Plan Standards.
The parcel is proposed to be classified as Light Industrial (M -1) under the City's Land
Development Code. The M-1 zoning classification would allow a maximum FAR of 0.55 and
an ISR of 0.75 which is consistent with their comprehensive plan.
D. Countywide Plan Policies
The proposed amendment is generally consistent with the following policy of the Countywide
Plan:
· Land planning should weigh heavily the established character of predominantly developed
areas when changes of use or intensity of development is contemplated.
E. Infrastructure and Environmental Impacts
Traffic Impacts - Traffic characteristics for current and projected conditions are summarized in
the accompanying tables attached to the end of the staff report (See Tables 1-3).
Based on a comparison of existing and proposed Countywide Plan Categories, the existing
Commercial General Countywide Plan Category generates approximately 520 vehicle trips per
day (vtpd), while the proposed Industrial Limited Countywide Plan Category will generate
approximately 190 vtpd, a net decrease of 330 vtpd. However, since the site is vacant, traffic will
increase upon development of the site.
The 1997 Level of Service (LOS) on 102nd A venue N. between 66th Street N. and 62nd Street N.
is "D", with or without the amendment. The projected 2015 LOS is "D", with or without the
amendment.

...
SUBJECT: Case #CW 99-47 - City of Pinellas Park
The application of the IL plan category to this site is generally consistent with the "Purpose
and Locational Characteristics" of the IL Countywide Plan Category.
C. Consistency of Local Government Comprehensive Plan Standards and Zoning
Designations
- The City's standards for the plan category are consistent with the Countywide Plan Standards.
The City's proposed zoning designation for this site is consistent with the Rules Concerning
the Administration of the Countywide Plan (Countywide Rules).
D. Consistency with Goals, Policies, and Economic Assumptions of the Countywide
Comprehensive Plan (Countywide Plan Policies)
- The proposed amendment is generally consistent with the Countywide Plan Policies for the
IL Countywide Plan Category.
E. Infrastructure and Environmental Impacts
- The existing water, sewer, and traffic infrastructure is adequate to support the demands
generated by the proposed IL designation.
- There are no environmentally sensitive lands that would require separate classification as
Preservation.
F. Related Planning Considerations
- The subject site is vacant and is proposed to be developed with a 15,000 sq.ft.light industrial
use.
- It is the City's intent that as the properties to the north and west of the subject property are
annexed they will be amended from Commercial General to Industrial Limited, so as to
reduce the amount of land classified as commercial on the north side of 102nd A venue. The
City should collaborate with Pinellas County in the interim to ensure that these adjoining
parcels are redesignated IL.
- The amendment area is not located within the Coastal High Hazard Area.
In consideration of and based upon these findings, it is recommended that the proposed
amendment to Industrial Limited be approved.

BACKGROUND:
The property is zoned Residential Single Family (R-2) and Residential One, Two and Three Family
(R-3) with a land use designation of Residential Urban. The applicant is requesting a land use
designation of Residential/Office General and Preservation with a zoning designation of OF
(Office).
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
The subject property is currently vacant. Access is available from St. Petersburg Drive and
Bedford Street. The site is surrounded by the following land use designations: north - across St.
Petersburg Drive, Residential Urban with a zoning designation of Residential One, Two and Three
Family (R-3) and Residential Single family (R-2) and is developed with residential uses; east-
Residential Urban land use with a zoning designation of Residential One, Two & Three family and
is developed with residential uses; west - Residential/Office General with a zoning designation of
Office and is developed with office uses; south, Residential Urban land use with a zoning
designation of Residential Single Family and is developed with the residential uses.
LAND USE REQUEST:
LU99-003 - A land use amendment from Residential Urban to Residential/Office General and
Preservation.
DISCUSSION:
The request was reviewed against the following standards outlined in Section 3.14.4 of the Land
Development Code:
f.. The amendment will further implementation of the comprehensive plan
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies contained herein.
The amendment is consistent with the following goals, objectives and policies
outlined in the Oldsmar Comprehensive Plan: Future Land use Objective 1.1 -
As an ongoing objective the City shall ensure that 100% of the land uses
associated with development are compatible and shall be coordinated with future
land uses based upon topography, soil conditions, and the availability of facilities
and services, in terms of both the land and surrounding uses and the overall
public interest.
2. The available uses to which the property may be put are appropriate to
the property in question and compatible with the existing and planned
uses in the area
The subject property will be developed with an office use which is consistent
with the Residential/Office General land use to the west. The applicant owns Lot
3,4,5, & 6, Block 55 RMO. However, the applicant is requesting a land use
amendment of Lot 6, Block 55 RMO to Preservation because this lot directly
abuts single family residential development. Amending the land use of Lot 6,
Block 55 to Preservation will provide an additional buffer between the proposed
office use and the residential single family development to the south.
3. Sufficient potable water supply facilities will be available to
continuously serve the property.

There is sufficient potable water supply and facilities to continuously serve the
development. The City of Oldsmar has a 60 million-gallon per month capacity for
potable water. The current daily demand of the City from Pinellas County and
the St. Petersburg Water System is below available capacity.
4. Adequate sanitary sewer facilities, including treatment capabilities, will
be continuously available to serve the property.
There is sufficient sanitary sewer capacity available to serve the property. The
Oldsmar Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of 2.25 million gallons per
day (MGD) and an average daily flow of 1.00 mgd. The Wastewater Treatment
Plant is currently operating at less than 60% of its capacity.
5. Sufficient traffic-carrying capacity will be continuously available to
serve the property.
The concept plan, submitted as part of the application package, indicates that
access to the property will be via St. Petersburg Drive and Bedford Street. The
traffic generated from the proposed Residential/Office General property should
be adequately accommodated on St. Petersburg Drive and staff recommends
that access be limited to St. Petersburg Drive.
6. The amendment will not adversely affect the natural environment
The amendment will not adversely affect the natural environment. Permitting
Residential/Office General at this location will require 50% of the area to be
devoted to open space thereby limiting the pervious surface coverage. In
addition, any development of the property will require city site plan approval and
approval from other permitting agencies
7. Adequate public facilities such as schools, parks, and libraries will be
continuously available to serve the property.
There are adequate public facilities available to serve the development.
8. The amendment will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an
individual owner
The amendment will not constitute a grant of special privilege. The land use
designation of the property to the west is Residential/Office General therefore
the request is consistent with this proposed office development.
9. The amendment will not conflict with the needs of the neighborhood or
the city.
The amendment will not conflict with the needs of the neighborhood or the city.
The proposed land use and rezoning request is consistent with the office
development to the west. Permitting an office use fronting SR 580-B (St.
Petersburg Drive) may be a more appropriate use at this location. In addition,
Lot 6, Block 55 will be amended to Preservation which will provide an additional
buffer between the proposed office use and the residential properties to the
south.

Process.
1. FINDINGS
Based on the background data and analysis in this report, the following finding is submitted for

recognize and provide for amendments of the Countywide Plan Map that are minor in nature and
have relatively minimal intergovernmental impact or affect on the policies and objectives of the

SUBJECT: Case #CW 99-50 (OA) - Oldsmar
II. BACKGROUND
The subthreshold amendment to the Countywide Plan Map as set forth herein has been submitted
to the Council for Official Acceptance per Division 5.3 of the Countywide Rules, as amended.
LOCA TION: Southwest comer of St.Petersburg Dr. and Bedford St.
PARCEL NO. N 23/28/16-63936-055-(0030-0060)
EXISTING USE: Vacant
PROPOSED USE: Office
SUBTHRESHOLD TYPE: "A" Section 5.3.3.2.1 of the Countywide Rules defines Type A
amendments as those amendments of one (1) acre or less, irrespective of the plan classification or
category from which and to which the amendment is sought. The amendment is subject to an annual
aggregation limit of 30 acres or less. This amendment totals 0.79 acres and will be applied to
Oldsmar's 30 acre aggregation limit for calendar year 1999. This amendment, together with previous
Type A amendments, totals 0.79 acres.
It is the policy of the Council, consistent with the purpose, procedure and threshold determinants of
the Countywide Rules, that subthreshold amendments will be removed from the official acceptance
procedure only for substantive reasons related to the Countywide Plan and Rules.
The City Commission, acting as the applicant local government, gave initial approval on November
3, 1999, to amend the City's Future Land Use Map, subject to approval of the corresponding plan
designation by the Countywide Planning Authority, and authorized this application for amendment
of the Countywide Plan Map.

IV. BACKGROUND
The ABR PlAZA site contains approximately 74 acres. From a land use plan
perspective the site contains three discrete portions:
· To the North, approximately 5 acres are located within the Anclote River
channel
· The West 39 acres, the subject of this application, are located in the CG,
Commercial General Land Use Plan category.
· The East 30 acres are located in the R10G, Residential Office General Land
Use Plan category.
Those East 30 acres were the subject of Ordinance 97-10 amending the Land
Use map from Residential Medium to the aforesaid R10R. In order to
accommodate the office park permitted under the D.R.1. development order, it
was necessary to amend the Countywide Plan in a like manner to the City of
Tarpon Springs' plan. The Pinellas Planning Council approved the 1997
amendment from residential to office subject to the future initiation of a plan
amendment on the West 40 acres of the ABR site to reflect wetlands and water
bodies. This requirement was incorporated at Section 5K of the development
order. This application is the fulfillment of ABR's obligation with respect to the
filing of such amendment.
V. IMPACT ANALYSIS
The amendment of approximately 11.5 acres from commercial to preservation
generally reduces the impact on public facilities and services. In the instant
case, the maximum development is established by the D.R.1. development order
and will include 400,000 square feet of office and 50,000 square feet of
commercial. The master plan of the site, Map H to the development order,
already indicates the portions of the site included within this application as
preservation.
Of course, the development order could expire or otherwise be abandoned
without the office park being constructed. In such an event, this amendment
would reduce traffic generation, potable water consumption and wastewater
generation.
VI. COUNTYWIDE PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
If approved by the Local Planning Agency and the Board of Commissioners, this
Ordinance will be forwarded to the Pinellas Planning Council for a comparable
Countywide plan amendments.
VII. STANDARD FOR REVIEW
Section 207.03(C), LDC requires that all Comprehensive Plan amendments meet
the standards of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes and Rule 9J-5, Florida
Administrative Code.

This is a legislative action as opposed to quasi-judicial. Municipalities are given a
fairly wide discretion in deciding the suitable land use designations. Issues which
need to be examined when considering the designation of land use categories
include transportation, the availability of the City to provide facilities to serve the
property at maximum permitted density or intensity, and the environmental
impacts of such designation.
The designation of this parcel from CG to P will result in preservation of 11.5
acres of natural resources inc,luding wetlands and water bodies.

RE: AMENDMENT TO COUNTYWIDE PLAN
Dear David,
Ordinance 99-22 is an amendment to the Future Land Use map series which
redesignates approximately 11.5 acres from Commercial General to Preservation. This
map amendment is a follow up action to CW 97-25, approved by the PPC on May 21,
1997. Said amendment contained the following supplemental condition: The City initiate
a further plan and zoning amendment to the balance of the DRI property not" included in
the subject amendment, at the time the Development order is authorized, to reclassify
the Commercial General area to reflect the Preservation and Water/Drainage Feature
per the approved Development Order,
The Development Order for ABR PLAZA, DRI #232, became effective in November,
1998 and contained a condition that the developer submit the instant amendment
application. The City hereby requests the initiation and consideration of a like
amendment to the Countywide Plan.
The distribution of Preservation and Commercial General is based upon the preliminary
information of Exhibit "H" of the D.O. When the jurisdiction determination of the wetland
limits is available, we will request a map adjustment as appropriate.
If any clarification or additional information is required, feel free to contact me.

MUNICIPAL ANNEXATION REVIEW
PPC ANNEXATION NO.:
A5-45-99
CITY:
GENERAL LOCATION:
REVIEW COMMENTS:
ACREAGE:
14.2453 acres, m.o.!.
Largo
Northwest corner of Belleair Road and Belcher Road.
1. CONTIGUITY: The property is contiguous along its south side to the existing
City boundary, making the property legally eligible for annexation.
2. ENCLAVE:
3. WATER:
4. SEWER:
The property is not part of an enclave; nor does the annexation
of this property create an enclave.
Formal concurrency approval for water service capacity will be
required as part of the site plan review process for any future
development of this property.
The property is adjacent to the City of Largo Sewer District. As
a part of the annexation agreement, the City has agreed to
"construct a lateral sewer line on Belleair Road to the
PROPERTY in order to provide sanitary service to the
PROPERTY line."
5. SOLID WASTE: The property currently contracts with private solid waste
collectors. Upon annexation, private collection could continue until
such time as the contract between the property owner and the
private collector terminates. At that time, the City of Largo would
initiate solid waste collection service.
6. TRANSPORTATION: The property is located on the northwest corner of Belleair
Road and Belcher Road and formal concurrency approval
for traffic impacts will be required as part of the site plan
review process for any future development of this property.
7. POLICE:
8. FIRE:
9. E.M.S.:
Upon annexation, the City of Largo Police Department will serve
the property in place of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
The property is adjacent to the Largo Fire District. Upon
annexation, City of Largo Fire Rescue would provide fire and
rescue services.
EMS service is provided to this property through the countywide
EMS system.
e
e
1 O. RECREATION
FACILITIES: Annexation into the City of Largo would present recreational
opportunities at reduced cost to the residents of the property. As
residents of the City of Largo, all persons can enjoy the programs
offered through the Recreation and Parks Department at in-City
rates.
11. LIBRARIES: The Largo Library is a member of the Pinellas County
Cooperative and, therefore, it is open and available to all persons
living within Pinellas County regardless of the location of their
residence.
12. OTHER COMMENTS: None.

SUBJECT: Annexation No. 99-10, Determination of Ability to Serve: City of Largo
9. Recreational Facilities: The City is currently providing adequate recreation facilities.
The level of service will be maintained for the area to be annexed, based on the City's
Comprehensive Plan standards. This annexation has the potential to result in
approximately 52 new residents within the City (22 units X 2.34 persons/unit) and
would place a burden on the Largo Recreation Department proportionate to this
potential population increase.
10. Libraries: The City's library is located at 351 East Bay Dr., and could provide service
to this area. The only change caused by annexation of the site will be that the existing
millage (ad valorem) levied for County Library Services (Co-op) (currently .5 mills) will
be eliminated the City will now pay for library service to the area from their general
fund with the use of the additional revenues received from the City of Largo millage
(currently 3.4000 mills). This annexation would result in approximately 52 new
residents within the City (22 units X 2.34 persons/unit) and would place a burden on
the Largo library system proportionate to this potential population increase.
11. Other Comments: The subject annexation area is located entirely within the City of
Clearwater Planning Area, water service area, wastewater treatment plant area, and
fire district as set forth in Clearwater's Comprehensive Plan and interlocal agreements
between the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County.
The proposed annexation represents the extension of Largo's municipal jurisdiction
into that area planned for, served by, and proposed to be annexed by the City of
Clearwater. This annexation represents a clear conflict with the available means by which
a municipality can logically plan for its ultimate boundaries as Clearwater has done in this
case and is counterproductive to the efficient delivery of services and meaningful
intergovernmental coordination.
Largo should reconsider and not proceed with this annexation.

SUBJECT: Annexation No. 99-10, Determination of Ability to Serve: City of Largo
MUNICIPAL ANNEXATION REVIEW
PPC ANNEXATION REPORT: No. 99-10
CITY: Largo (A5-45-99)
ACREAGE: 14.24 Acres (0.046% of City)
GENERAL LOCATION: Northwest corner of Belleair Rd. and Belcher Rd.
REVIEW COMMENTS:
1. Contiguity/ComDactness: The site is contiguous to municipal boundaries on the site's
southern boundary. However, the site has more of its periphery adjacent to the City
of Clearwater. The site is contiguous to Clearwater to the north and east.
Additionally, annexation of the site into Clearwater would be more compact (as
defined in Chp. 171, F.S.) than if it were annexed into Largo (See Figure 2).
The site is not currently an enclave nor would its annexation create an enclave.
2. Water: Citywide Capacity: While there will be no additional water impact directly
associated with the annexation, water consumption could increase by approximately
5,334 gallons per day (gpd) (based on 8.89 acres X 2.5 units /acre X 240 gpd/unit)
upon development of the subject site. Additionally, whether or not the subject site is
annexed or not, the subject site is located entirely within the City of Clearwater water
system service area and will remain as such.
Moreover, the City of Clearwater Intergovernmental Coordination Element Goal No.
27 states that the City of Clearwater seeks to coordinate the delivery of urban services
and annex all of the property in its water service area. Given this goal and the
associated judicial rulings relative to the City of Clearwater's authority to require
annexation as a condition of providing water service, the City of Largo cannot provide
water service to this site absent Clearwater's specific agreement to provide water
service.
The City of Largo does not own or operate a water service/delivery system and
therefore cannot provide water to the subject area. Largo receives its water service
from Pinellas County. Pinellas County's water service area is currently south of
Belleair Rd.
3. Sewer: Citywide Capacity: Whether or not the site is annexed, the subject property
is located entirely within the City of Clearwater's sanitary sewer district. Wastewater
treatment would normally be provided by the City of Clearwater's East Wastewater
Treatment Plant, which has an average daily flow of 3.34 million gallons per day (mgd)
(FY1995), and a capacity of 5.0 mgd.
3
e
e
SUBJECT: Annexation No. 99-10, Determination of Ability to Serve: City of Largo
While there will be no additional sewer impact directly associated with the annexation,
sewer use could increase by approximately 5,334 gpd subsequent to development of
the subject site.
Additionally, since the proposed annexation is outside of Largo's defined sewer
service area and within Clearwater's defined sewer service area, the City of Largo is
may be precluded from extending sewer lines outside the City of Largo's legally
defined sewer boundaries into Clearwater's sewer'service area in order to serve the
subject site.
4. Solid Waste: Collection of solid waste can be provided by the City of Largo. The City
has an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County for the disposal of solid waste. All
of the City's solid waste is disposed of at the Pinellas County Resource Recovery
Plant.
5. Transportation: The site is located on the northwest corner of Belleair Rd. and
Belcher Rd. The Level of Service for the portion of Belcher Rd. from Belleair Rd. to
Nursery Rd. is LOS E and LOS B from Belleair Rd. to East Bay Dr. The Level of
Service for the portion of Belleair Rd. that serves the subject site is LOS F from Keene
Rd. to US Highway 19. Because the site is not developed, additional traffic impacts
will not be generated as a result of this annexation, but could occur as a result of
subsequent development.
Belleair Rd. is currently a County road (CR 116) and this annexation would not affect
the County's jurisdiction or responsibility for maintenance of the road.
6. Police: This area is now served by the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office; however,
upon annexation, the City of Largo can assume responsibility for police protection.
This annexation is expected to result in approximately 52 new residents within the City
(22 units X 2.34 persons/unit) and would place a burden on the Largo Police
Department proportionate to the increase in area/population represented by this site.
7. Fire: The area proposed to be annexed is currently within the Clearwater Fire District.
While the fire district boundaries will not formally change, annexation will affect the fire
and rescue services that are currently being provided, because the City of Largo
proposes to take over those responsibilities. After annexation, the fire service millage
collected in unincorporated Pinellas County for the City of Clearwater, would be
eliminated and the subject property would be assessed the City of Largo millage
(currently 3.4000 mills), a portion of which is dedicated to funding the Largo Fire
Department.
8. Emergency Medical Service: EMS is already provided to this site and the current
countywide EMS millage of .7130 would continue to be levied on an ad valorem basis
to support this service which is provided on a countywide basis.

BACKGROUND:
Section 5( 12) of Chapter 88-464, Laws of Florida, as amended, requires the Council to review and
make a recommendation to the affected municipality for each annexation of ten (10) acres or more
as to the ability of the municipality to provide municipal services to the territory to be annexed.
Annexation No. 99-10 is a 14.24 acre tract (comprised of 8.89 acres of upland, 3.36 acres of
water, and 2 acres of Belcher Rd.) located on the northwest comer of Belleair Rd. and Belcher Rd.
The subject area is currently vacant.
The annexation's final public hearing before the Largo City Commission will be held on January
4, 2000.
The City of Largo has indicated in its staff report that either it will provide, or agreement with
another service provider will be obtained for: water, sewer, solid waste collection, police, fire,
and Emergency Medical Services. City recreational and library facilities will also be available
to this area.

provided on a countywide basis.
3. The City does not have the ability to provide water or sewer service to the site.
4. The parcel is within the City of Clearwater Planning Area and has been designated on
Clearwater's Future Land Use Map pursuant to Chp. 163.3171(1) and 163.3177(6)(a),
F.S., and as set forth in the Interlocal Agreement between the County and Clearwater.

recommended that the Council find the City does not have the ability to serve the subject
annexation area as to water and sewer pursuant to Chapter 88-464, Section 5(12).
Additionally, Largo should not proceed with this annexation absent formal agreement with the
City of Clearwater to provide said services.

1. Contiguity/Compactness: The site is contiguous to municipal boundaries on
the site's northern, southern, eastern, and western boundaries.
2. Water: Citywide Capacity: Whether or not this site is annexed, water service
is provided to this area by the Pinellas County Water System. As this site is
already developed, there will be no additional water impact directly associated
with the annexation.
3. Sewer: Citywide Capacity: Whether or not the site is annexed, the subject
parcel is within the City's Sanitary Sewer District and is currently being serviced
by the City. The City of Largo Wastewater Treatment Plant has an average
daily flow of 13.62 million gallons per day (mgd) (FY1995) and a capacity of
18.0 mgd. There will be no additional sewer impact directly associated with the
annexation.
4. Solid Waste: Collection of solid waste is to be provided by the City of Largo
upon annexation. The City has an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County for
the disposal of solid waste. The City's solid waste is disposed of at the Pinellas
County Resource Recovery Plant. According the City's Evaluation and
Appraisal Report, the City's 139 tons per day of solid waste accounted for less
than 5% of the Resource Recovery Plant's capacity in 1995.
5. Transportation: The site is located on the south side of Roosevelt Blvd. and
east of US Highway 19. The level of service for the portion of Roosevelt Blvd.
that serves this site is LOS "C", while the LOS for the portion of US Highway 19
that serves this site is "B". No additional traffic impacts will be generated as
a result of this annexation.

SUBJECT: Annexation No. 99-9, Determination of Ability to Serve: City of Largo
6. Law Enforcement: This area is now served by the Pinellas County Sheriff's
Department. Upon annexation, the City of Largo will assume responsibility for
police protection. This annexation will place a burden on the Largo Police
Department proportionate to the area being annexed.
7. Fire: The proposed annexation is currently within the Largo Fire District and
will remain as such after annexation. Annexation will not affect the fire and
rescue services currently being provided. The annexation will change the way
fire services are paid for. After annexation the fire service millage assessed for
the parcel in unincorporated Pinellas County will be eliminated and services will
be paid out of the additional revenues received from the City of Largo millage
(currently 3.4000 mills).
8. Emergency Medical Service: EMS is already provided to this site and the
current countywide EMS millage of .7130 will continue to be levied on an ad
valorem basis to support this service which is provided on a countywide basis.
9. Recreational Facilities: The City is currently providing adequate recreation
facilities. The level of service will be maintained for the area to be annexed,
based on the City's Comprehensive Plan standards. Because this area is
commercially developed, there will be minimal impact on recreational facilities.
10. Libraries: The City's library is located at 351 East Bay Dr., and provides
services to this area. The only change caused by annexation of the site will be
that the existing millage (ad valorem) levied for County Library Services (Co-op)
(currently .5 mills) will be eliminated and the City will now pay for library service
to the area from their general fund with the use of the additional revenues
received from the City millage (currently 3.4000 mills). There will be minimal
impact on library services.
11. Other Comments: The subject area is within the Tri-Cities Planning Area as set
forth in the interlocal agreement between Largo, Pinellas Park, St.Petersburg,
and Pinellas County. The subject area is developed with the Bay Area Outlet
Mall and is currently designated Commercial General and Preservation on both
Pinellas County's Future Land Use Map and the Countywide Plan Map, and will
remain as such.

MANAGER'S OFFICE
from:
subject:
date:
On December 21, 1999, I met with Mayor Tom Feaster from the City of Largo to discuss a possible
settlement of the annexation dispute currently pending between the cities of Pin ell as Park and Largo.
Prior to Mayor Feaster and I meeting, there was a question as to the legality to hold this meeting
outside the boundaries of the Government in the Sunshine Laws for the State of Florida. Ms. Pat
Gleason, General Counsel in the Attorney General's Office (who I understand oversees their
interpretation of the Sunshine Law) gave an opinion to Largo's City Attorney, Alan Zimmet, that
the meeting of the two Mayors would not be subject to the Sunshine Law and also stated that their
office encourages such meetings to try to resolve disputes between governmental bodies prior to
litigation. I believe that each of you were given copies of Attorney Zimmet's letter addressed to our
City Attorney Ed Foreman dated December 16, 1999.
I agreed to meet with Mayor Feaster for the sole purpose of trying to tenninate the disputes between
our cities. There were no deals made, as that was not the purpose or intent of our meeting.
I have always tried to be a team player on this Council regardless of what the article in the December
26th edition of the Neighborhood Times had stated, as well as remarks made by a member of this
City Council.
I am coming in front of you, my colleagues only as a messenger for a proposed settlement of the
litigations our cities have against each other.
Attached are recommendations that Mayor Feaster and I are proposing. Please note, they are
recommendations only. Mayor Feaster will be meeting with his Commission simultaneously with
our meeting this evening to present these proposals for a settlement.
Finally, I applaud Mayor Feaster for taking the initiative to resolve our differences. He is very
sincere in trying to make each of our cities good neighbors. I am hopeful that we can come to some
fonn of agreement with the City of Largo in order to avoid a considerable expense to the taxpayers
of our City that could run into several hundred thousands of dollars.

Possible Settlement of the Annexation Dispute with the City of Largo
Page 2
December 29, 1999
I apologize to you for not releasing these proposals in advance, but due to the nature ofthis subject,
I felt it was to our City's best interest that we collectively have a chance to discuss these proposals
prior to reading them in the newspapers.
Item Number
Proposal
1 - Planning Area:
Ulmerton Road to become the natural boundary. Pinellas Park to
have all jurisdiction on the south side of Ulmerton from Roosevelt
Boulevard west to u.S. 19. South on u.S. 19 to 126th Avenue. West
on 126th Avenue to Lake Seminole.
2 - Sewer Permits:
All indentures Largo have with property owners within Pinellas
Park's Planning Area will become null and void. Largo will not
pursue. Largo will obligate themselves to provide us sewer within
our Planning Area.
3 - Triangle Section:
These properties bordered by U.S. 19, Ulmerton Road and the Cross
Bayou Canal will come into Pinellas Park's Fire District.
4 - Fire Station #36:
This Fire District will remain under the jurisdiction of Pin ell as Park
indefinitely.
5 - Tract "A":
Consultants will be hired by Largo to analyze and come up with a
cost basis for Pinellas Park. Largo will continue to charge the present
sewer rates until this study is completed by the consultants and
agreed upon by both cities.

BRITZ v. LeBASE
Cite aR, Fla., 258 Ro.2d 811
760 (1st DCA Fla.1963). Here, however,
the circumstances fall within the exception
to that general proposition, i. e., where there
is a continuing benefit to the city.
In City of Gainesville v. Board of Con-
trol, 81 So.2d 514 (Fla.1955), our late, dis-
tinguished colleague, Thomas, J., for a
unanimous court reasoned: (at pp. 518-519)
';We do not think that the circum-
stances considered as a whole warrant the
construction that the obligation was to
exist perpetually, or forever. The time
was to be measured by the existence of
the university in Gainesville. We take
judicial notice of the location as perm-
anent but we do not indulge the clair-
voyance that it will be perpetual. Her-
cu1aneum and Pompeii were permanent
but history records that they were not
perpetual.
*
*
*
*
*
*
"The contract contemplated a free
sen'ice so long as the university remained
in Gainesville, a continuing considera-
tion being the exchange of the service
for the continuing advantage. The life
of the contract is unalterably ;connected'
with the e.-..istence of the university as
presently located. We find nothing in
the record to support the position that the
city was bound only to furn~sh water as
long as it could afford it, or until some
arbitrary period subsequently to be de-
termined."
The remaining contentions including the
one attacking this as not being a proper
class suit are without merit.
The able trial judge was properly affirm-
ed. The opinion below appears to be con-
sistent with earlier authorities on the sub-
ject, leaving no problem of conflict and
as certified is correct. Certiorari is accord-
ingly discharged.

On Rehearing :\Iarch 21, 1972.
Suit was brought on behalf of minor
child who suffered loss of eye when she
ran into yucca plant located about six to
eight feet beyond defendants' property line
on an adjacent lot. The trial judge di-
rected verdict in defendants' favor, and re-
view was sought. The District Court of
Appeal, Fourth District, 240 So.2d 819, re-
versed and petition was made for writ of
certiorari to review decision. The Su-
preme Court, Dekle, J., held that where
there was no evidence that defendants had
actual knowledge of danger of yucca plant
and the danger did not exist on property
owned or legally connected to defendants,
plaintiffs were not entitled to recover
against defendants.
Decision of District Court quashed
and cause remanded with directions to
reinstate judgment of trial court.

258 SOUTHERN REPORTER, 2d SERIES
Court of Appeal at 247 So.2d 753 (1971).
The district court affirmed the trial judge's
final decree which found with the appellees
(as a class of the city's water customers in
the area known as the South Peninsula,
south of Frazar Road outside the limits of
the City of Daytona Beach.) Fla.Collst.
art. V, ~ 4(2) F.S.A. and Rule 4.5(c), Fla.
App. Rules, 32 F.S.A.
Appellees rely upon, and ~eek to hold the
city to, a 1954 agreement made by the city.
The agreement was initiated for the city to
obtain the priyate water system then operat-
ing in that area under the name of South
Peninsula Water Co. This was a favorable
acquisition to the city which enabled it to
expand its system and it was very willing
in the agreement to extend a maximum rate
which might be charged to the customers of
that system not to exceed 0 more than
what was charged to those in the city itself
(1330%). This was a real concern to the
users, not knowing what the change of
ownership might bring, and wishing at least
to fix a reasonable add-on to the rate to be
charged by a city in which it would have no
other voice.
,I
i
The city has now by ordinance levied a
rate of 2OO:-c, or double, what city dwellers
are paying and this is what the trial court
declared invalid, holding the city to its
agreement.
Among the more serious contentions of
the city are twO that are mentioned in the
dissent of DIstrict Court Judge Dewey M.
Johnson:
(1) The agreement is an unreasonable
limitation upon the city in charging its
rates which would restrict the city in
updating and expanding its water sys-
tem.
"
'I
(2) The agreement is an unlawful at-
tempt by private agreement contrary
to public policy to limit the legislative
(goyernmental) authority of the city.

II
~
[1] City of Safety Harbor v. Pinellas
County, 218 So.2d 528 (2nd DCA Fla.1969),
stands for the principle that so long as such ·
a contract does not require the city to sup-
ply water at less than cost, then the contract
is not invalid on the grounds contended.
Here the facts clearly show that even the
rate of 125% of the in-city rate which was
being charged before the attempted in-
crease, was more than the cost. It would
also appear to be inherent in the formula of
Y.1 more than in-city rates that the charge
to appellees could never be less than the
cost unless the city chose to charge rates to
its own residents which were less than cost,
inasmuch as the ~'1 more of what eyer the
city rate, assures an excess charge.
Actually the reasonableness ot rates is
deferred in this litigation until the present
question before the court regarding the
contract is resolved. Court scrutiny of the
reasonableness is of course subject to re-
view. Cooper v. Tampa Electric Co., 154
Fla. 410, 17 So.2d 785 (194-+). and Clay
Ctility Co. v. City of Jacksonville, ?27 So.
2d 516 (1st DCA Fla.l969).
[2] The fact that different rates may
be charged to other outside users not cov.
ered by the original agreement does not
defeat that agreement's purpose and validity
for those who are beneficiaries of it.
[3] The flexibility allowed here is dif- ,.
ferent from the inflexible 5~ flat rate in
the contract held so inflexible as to be in-
valid in City of Clearwater v. Bonsey, 180 ,
Soold 200 (2nd DCA 1965). There must of ,
course be such flexibility as would avoid a ,
loss to the city. The prerequisite flexibility ,
is present under the formula here, as in .
Safety Harbor, supra. It is thus seen that
the second objection regarding the alleged
unlawful limitation on legislative authority,
of the city is not factually supported.
[4] A further point urged by appellant.
that the contract is unenforceable turns, or
the contention that the termination date ~.
not specified and that under the genera!
rule it is therefore terminable by eithd
party upon reasonable notice. O:lllins ;~.

contention of city, which sought to impose
against certain water customers outside city

The appellant was charged 'with murder

mitted by shooting one Hazel Rowland with
a pistol while he entertained a premeditated
design to kill her. He was found guilty of
murder in the second degree and was sen-
tenced to serve the rest of his life in prison.
[1], In his appeal the appellant submits
three questions for decision: the propriety
of admitting two photographs in evidence,
the correctness of a charge on circumstan-
tial evidence, and the sufficiency of the evi-
dence tO,establish his guilt.
, The photographs wer,e taken in the kitch-

By the express terms of the Buckman Act
the Board of Control was given the power
"to receive donations" and we construe this
provision to authorize acceptance of dona-
tions by the City of Gainesville. We have
been directed to no provision of the city
charter, expressly granting to the city the
power to enter such an agreement as was
executed by the "committee of citizens."
~or has our research revealed express au-
tho', ity so to contract.
After a careful study of this record, we
conclude that the whole pattern for re-
organizing and maintaining the educational
system offered an opportunity for legal con-
tributions by cities from their, funds in or-
der to secure to the citizens the obvious ad-
vantages of having institutions located in
their 'midst., True; no express' grant of

To continue with the analysis of the
complaint: The enrollment at the univer-
sity in 1905 was one hundred thirty-five
and in 1950 had increased to more than
eleven thousand. . Subsequent to the effec-
tive date in the resolution of its commis-
sioners, the city sent to the university bills
for water consumed which the university
refused to pay.
Hence the dispute.
On the one part it is contended that the
city is bound to furnish water as long as
the university remains at its present site;
on the other, that the contract was void
from the beginning and, if not, the "spirit
and intent of said agreement was long ago
fully discharged" and the "agreement has
now become void as a contract to con-
tinue in perpetuo." (Italics supplied.)
We attach no importance to the pheno-
menal growth of the university as itself
a reason to relieve the city of the burden.
From a moral standpoint it seems to us
that the inducement to secure tile advan-
tage of a university of one hundred thirty-
five students is shown to have been justi-
fied by the presence of a university with
eleven thousand. So, were we to stop here
we would hold that the citizens in 1905
struck an excellent bargain and that the
present size of the institution is all the more
reason the city should be held to it.
But we must decide the controversy up-
on the legal points involved.
In his decree the circuit judge reviewed
the history of institutions of learning in the
State and the purpose in enacting Chapter
5384, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1905, com-
monly . 'called the Buckman Act, F.S.A.

The circuit judge thought there'l

the municipal officials, as well as the:

that the city was acting within its .~

The city, of course, was the ~r

the legislature has the "power to esti5

Under this question, the appellee Test

[5] Finally, we reject appellee's conten-
tion that Mullan has no cause of action
b~use he failed to strictly follow the pro-
cedural rules outlined in his contract for
the resolution of disputes. Mullan peti-
tioned the local Board of Education for
relief after the principal rejected his com-
plaint. Appellee contends that the contract
requires submission to the Diocesan Office
of Education after rejection by the Board
of Education, which step Mullan concededly
did not take. However, the contract pro-
vides that the Board of Education will pro-
vide its decision to the teacher within five
days after hearing the teacher's objection,
yet the Board did not submit its decision to
the appellant for some five weeks after the
hearing. Having failed to follow its own
rules, appellee should not be heard to com-
plain that Mullan did not strictly comply
with them.
Because disputed issues of fact exist, the
summary final judgment is reversed and
the cause is remanded for further proceed-
ings consistent herewith.

City brought action against utility com-
pany and landowners alleging that utility
company was providing sewer service to
landowners within city's exclusi.e sewer
service zone and that city would have ca-
pacity to serve landowner's property in ap-
proximately 17 months and thus. sought
declaratory judgment to effect that land-
owners would be required to disconnect
from utility company's sewer system and
connect with city's sewer system at that
time. The Circuit C{)urt, Orange C{)unty,
Volie A. Williams, Jr., J" denied city's pray-
er for declaratory judgment and city ap-
pealed. The District Court of Appeal, Co-
wart, J., held that city had no right to
prevent utility company from serving con-
suming public or to require public to dis-
connect from utility company now serving
it and to connect with city's system if and
when city got around to meeting its duty to
provide service that it had undertaken to

for a declaratory judgment that the land-

mary judgment against the city was that
the landowners would not be required to
terminate their sewer service contract with
the utility company and connect to the
city's sewer system if and when it became
available to the landowners' property. The
city appeals.
Interestingly, this litigation is somewhat
of a shadow of a prior litigation as to the
same issue between the same parties that
came about as follows: earlier, the utility
company applied to the Public Service Com-
mission to amend its certificate of public
necessity to provide sewer service to the
property now in question and other proper-
ty. The city objected. The PSC, by order
numbered 18525, and dated December 9,
1987 (87 FPSC 12:125), found that the city
had more demand for sewer service than it
had capacity and that while the city expect-
ed to be able to provide sewer service at
some time in the future, the city would not
execute a commitment to provide sewer
service and desired to place those needing
service on a list to wait until the city could
provide sen;ce while the utility company
had existing unused sewer treatment ca-
pacity and was willing and able to serve
the public. As to the city's claim to the
exclusive right to sen'e the property in
question under its municipal service zone,
the commission noted that it is not bound
by the city's ordinance extending its corpo-
rate power beyond its city limits, nor by a
local comprehensive plan enacted under
COWART, Judge.
Appellant, City of Winter Park, enacted,
pursuant to section 180.02(3), Florida Stat-
utes, an ordinance extending its corporate
power over its municipal sewer service
zone outside its corporate limits so as to
require property OV,'llers outside the city
but 'within such sen;ce zone to connect to
the city's sewer system when it became
available. Appellee Southern States Utili-
ty, Inc., a non-governmental utility compa-
ny (public sen;ce corporation) with a certif-
icate issued by the Florida Public Service
Commission (PSC) pursuant to section 367.-
031, Florida Statutes, authorizing it to pro-
vide sewer sen;ce, entered into a contract
v.;th appellee landowners to supply sewer
sen;ce to a tract of land l);ng v.;thin a
por-Jon of the area embraced v.ithin the
city's ordinance where the city does not
presently have sewer sen;ce capability.
The city filed this action against the utili-
ty company and the landowners alleging
that the utility company was pro\'iding
sewer service to the landowners within the
city's exclusive sewer service zone and that
the city would have capacity to serve the
land owners' property by a date about 17
months in the future from the date the
action was originally filed. The complaint
prayed for a declaratory judgment to the
effect that the landowners would be re-
quired to disconnect from the utility compa-
ny's sewer system and connect with the
cit).'s sewer system when the city could
provide sewer service.
The trial court held that the city under
its ordinance could compel the landowners
to connect with its sewer system only if the

that the test was who was in the best
position to provide the needed sewer ser-
vice which the commission found to be the
utility company rather than the city. The
commission expressly declined the city's re-
quest that the utility company's certificate
for authority to serve this area be issued
subject to the condition requiring discon-
nection when the city became able to sup-
ply sewer service, noting that the commis-
sion had no jurisdiction over the city sewer
system.1 The city appealed the Public Ser-
vice C{)mmission's order to the First Dis-
trict Court of Appeal which affirmed. See
City of Winter Park v. Southern States
r:tilities, 530 So.2d 310 (Fla. 1st DCA
1988),
[1] We agree with the Public Service
Commission and the trial court. All corpo-
rations which voluntarily undertake to en-
gage in performing a service of a public
nature whether a governmental agency,
such as a municipality, or a private corpo-
ration, assume an obligation implied by law
to render, for reasonable compensation and
without discrimination and to all of the
public in the area sought to be served, a
service reasonably adequate to meet the
just requirements of those sought to be
served.2
[2] A city cannot undertake to extend
its service franchise beyond an area it is
able to serve and thereby prevent the pub-
lic from being served by anyone else. The
public is entitled to be served and served
by the entity best able to serve it. In this
case, the utility company is able to provide
the public with the service that the city is
unable to provide. The city has no legal
right to prevent the utility company from

BOARDMAN, EDWARD F., (Ret.)
Judge.
Appellant City of Clearwater (the City)
challenges a final judgment in the form of
an injunction restraining the City from re-
quiring annexation of unincorporated prop-
erty as a condition to supplying water ser-
vice to appellee Metco Development Corpo-
ration (Metco). We affirm.
Metco owns unincorporated property
which is located in the City's water service
area. This water service area is designat-
ed both in an agreement between Pinellas
County (the County) and the City, and by
resolution of the Pine lias County Commis-
sion. The northern portion of the Metco
property contains three commercial build-
ings which have been served by the City's
water system for ten years or more, Wa-
ter service is rendered to the northern por-
tion of the property without any require-
ment of annexation. The southern portion
of the Metco property contains sixteen resi-
dential units which are served by well wa-
ter. Two water lines, two fire hydrants,
water taps and water meters exist on Met-
co's property which would facilitate the
connection of water service on the southern
portion of the property by the City at mini-
mal expense. However, the City refused to
grant water service to Metco unless it
agreed that its property be annexed into
the corporate limits.
That refusal prompted Metco to bring an
action against the City, the County, and the
Florida Department of Health and Rehabili.
tative Services seeking a declaration of its
rights and obligations relating to the provi-
sion of water service on its property and
injunctive relief. The complaint filed by
Metco requested the trial court to deter-
mine whether the City or the County
should be required to grant water service
to the property. Pinellas County filed a
cross-claim against the City for declaratory
and injunctive relief, alleging that the City
is obligated to provide water service to the
property pursuant to a 1976 written agree-
ment entered into between the County and
the City. Further, the County alleged that
the City's policy of requiring annexation
into the City as a condition to supplying
water is illegal and improper. The County
filed an amended cross-claim against the
City, which alleged that the City's policy of
requiring annexation as a condition to ob-
taining City water service is contrary to a
1975 resolution of the Pinellas County
Commission, sections 180.06 and 171.044,
Florida Statutes (1985), and the "organic
law" of the State of Florida.
Pinellas County's cross-claim against the
City was tried at a nonjury rr.al on April
16, 1986. After extensive teStimony and
legal arguments were presented, the trial
court entered a final judgment on the
County's cross-claim only. Among the trial
court's findings was its determination that:
Contractually the City has also agreed
to serve the entire water service area
which includes Metco's property. The
Court construes the contract and the in-
tent of the parties to follow the estab-
lished law required of public utilities and
quasi-monopolies in providing water ser-
vice to their customers in the water ser-
vice area at the lowest possible cost with
the most efficiency. In fact the parties
have stated in a provision in the contract
that it was their intent by executing the
agreement to avoid a duplication of capi-
tal investment and maintenance cost and
to provide water service to the public as
efficiently as possible.
Hence, the trial court permanently re-
strained and enjoined the City from requir-
ing annexation of Metco's property as a
condition to supplying water service. The
court retained jurisdiction over the subject
matter and the parties for the purpose of

(Fla. 1st DCA 1986); Jaggers v. State, 492
So.2d 418 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986). In this
case, the fact that no scoresheet was pre-
pared without removing points for the inap-
plicable robbery conviction requires that
Moore again be sentenced after the defect
has been cured. This is because the trial
court may well not wish to depart, or to
depart so extensively, from a guidelines
sentence which is presumably substantially
lower than the one which it previously con-
sidered when it imposed the original ten-
year term. See Davis, 493 So.2d at 83 (UA

erly prepared score sheet before it can
make a fully informed decision on whether

tence.").
Because it has been indicated that Moore
has already been in prison longer than the
recommended guidelines sentence, we dis-
pense with rehearing, direct the immediate
issuance of our mandate, and order that
the resentencing hearing required by this
opinion be conducted forthwith upon re-
mand,

exist in the instant case.3 This e.xception is
therefore inapplicable.
Some jurisdictions recognize another ex-
ception to the general rule for those munici-
palities that through their conduct hold
themselves out as public utilities. According
to the jurisdictions that recognize this excep-
tion, a municipality that holds itself out as a
public utility for a particular area outside its
city limits has a duty to supply everyone in
that area. ~ Allen's Creek contends that
Clearwater held itself out as a public utility
by entering an interlocal agreement that des-
ignated certain unincorporated areas as a
part of its service area 5 and by supplying
sewer senices to certain nonresidents. Ac-
cordingly, Allen.s Creek contends that Clear-
water has a legal obligation to pro\ide sewer
senice to nonresidents located within its ser-
vice area.
[6,7] We agree that through its conduct
a municipality may assume the legal duty to
provide reasonably adequate services for rea-
sonable compensation to all of the public in
an unincorporated area. See City of Winter
Park v. Southern States Utilities, Inc., 540
So.2d 178, 180 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989)(city's
passage of ordinance requiring property
owners outside the city but v.ithin a zone
designated by the ordinance to connect to the
city's sewer senice when available was con-
duct sufficient to bring into effect law appli-
cable to public utilities). We add however
that the conduct must expressly manifest the
municipality's desire or intent to assume that
3. We recognize that section 163.01(5), Florida
Statutes (1989), refers to interlocal agreements
as contracts, Even if we recognize the interlo-
cal agreement in this case as a contract, the
agreement does not indicate that Clearwater will
unconditionally supply the service area located
outside its city limits, It merely states that
Clearwater, as opposed to the City of Largo, has
the exclusive right to serve this area.
4. See, e,g" Yakima County (West Valley) Fire Pro.
tection Dist. No.12 v. City of Yakima, 122
Wash,2d 371, 858 P.2d 245, 251 (1993); 48
A.LR. at 1230.
5. The parties and the district court refer to Clear-
water's service area as "exclusive," but neither
the 201 Plan or the interlocal agreement refer to
it that way, We find the tenn "exclusive" mis-
leading here because, as the district court point-
duty. A municipality's decision to Provide'.
senice \\ithout restriction in an area outside
its boundaries would meet this requirement:..
The 201 Plan and interlocal agreement relied \-
on here do not. Like the plan in Allstate, ',,-
nothing in either the Plan or agreement affir-
matively states that Clearwater will proVid~
senices to the unincorporated area. Nor do
these agreements preclude those located ou~
side Clearwater's city limits but within its
senice area from seeking services from an
alternative source.s
,. .
[8,9] Allen's Creek also contends that
the City has acceded to the status of a public
utility because it pro\ides services to others
outside its city limits. Allen's Creek, howev-
er. has not demonstrated that Clearwater's
prO\ision of services in these instances was
not one of the limited exceptions it makes to
its general policy of providing only residents
with sewer senice. Providing senice out-
side its boundaries in only limited situations,
as Clearwater has done here,7 does not .
amount to an affirmative expression of intent C
to serve all in the area. Clearwater there-
fore has not accepted a duty to pro\ide ser-
vices to the unincorporated land located in its
senice area.
[10] Because Clearwater has no duty to
pro.ide services to the unincorporated land
within its service area, we conclude that the
City may condition upon annexation the land-
owner's receipt of sewer services. That eon-
dition however must be applied consistently,
and a reasonable justification for the condi-
1
ed out, there are other sources of sewer service
available to Allen's Creek. Allen's Creek could. :'-
with Clearwater's approval, seek services from .
the City of Largo, With approval from the prop- .
er agencies Allen's Creek could also constrUct its
own treatment facility. Accordingly, we do DOt
use the tenn "exclusive" when referring to Clear-
water's service area. o.
,
6. We do not address whether a refusal by Clear/
water to allow Allen's Creek to apply for services,
elsewhere would amount to conduct sufficient to
manifest the intent to serve all in the service area'
as this issue is not presented to us for ~;
7. Clearwater provides sewer services. p~
to legislative act, to areas which it proVJUP"
services in the early seventies. Clearwater 1h,O.
provides sewer service to those areas in the C,"
of Largo which Largo is unable to serve. "1..~

The district court lilio e.xamined the inter-
local agreement that the City of Clearwater
and the City of Largo entered pursuant to
section 163.01, Florida Statutes (1983). The
agreement designated seT\;ce areas for the
City of Clearwater and the City of Largo
consistent with the seT\;ce areas designated
for those cities in the 201 Plan. With respect
to these sen;ce areas the agreement pro-
vides:
The parties shall have the e.xclusive right
to pro\;de wholesale and retail sanitary
sewer service \\;thin the area allocated to
such part and further agree not to compete
with each other as to the pro\ision of such
. sewer sen;ce outside their designated
area.
The district court concluded that this agree-
. ment between the municipalities had no in-
'. terrelation with the 201 Plan and had no
bearing on the issues presented. fa.
[2-5] Allen's Creek maintains that this
case establishes an exception to the general
rule that a municipality cannot be compelled
to supply seT\;ces to areas outside its munici-
pal boundaries. We recognize that excep-
tions to this general rule do exist. For e.x-
ample, a municipality may be required to
extend its serrices if it has agreed to do so
by contract. A contract may require the
municipality to serve only a particular entity
outside its municipal boundaries. Such a
contract does not necessarily require the mu-
nicipality to seT\'e other similarly situated
entities. On the other hand. a contract may
require the municipality to seT\;ce an entire
area outside its limits. In such cases the
municipality will be required to serve all the
public in that area at the lowest possible cost
with the most efficiency as demonstrated by
the decision in City of Clearz('(Jler v. Met~o

that the facts in this case esublish an excep-
tion to this general rule and that consequent-
ly, Clearwater's refusal to pro\ide senices to
unincorporated property located \\itbin its
senice area was improper. For the reasons
expressed below, \\e disagree.
Allen's Creek omooS a parcel of land located
in the unincorporated area of Pinellas County
immediately adjacent to Clearwater's city
limits. In September 1990. Allen's Creek
submitted to Pinellas County a site plan fur
the development of this parcel Pinellas
County officials directed Allen's Creek to
apply to Clearwater for ~el ~niees be-
cause the parcel was lotated 'Iritbin Oear~

the developer would have to consent to an-
nexation before receiving sewer ser;ices.
Allen's Creek retiLo;ed to allow the City to
annex the property and filed suit for declara-
tory and other relief.
The trial court held that Clean'llter,
through the Central Pinellas County 201 Fa-
cilities Plan (the 201 Plan) and its interlocal
agreement \\;th the City of Largo, had as-
sumed an obligation to provide sewer service
in its designated senice area. That senice

examined each of the documents on which
the trial court based its decision. The first
document, the 201 Plan, was de\ised pursu-
ant to the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act of 1972, Pub.L. No. 92-500, ~ 2.86 Stat.
816, As a primary goal the Act sought to
eliminate the discharge of pollutants into
n3\;gable waters by 1985. To meet this goal
the federal government provided funding for
the research and development of wastewater
treatment management plans. Pursuant to
section 201(gl of the Act these management
plans were a prerequisite to the receipt of
additional grants for construction of treat-
ment facUities.
Clearwater, along with the several other
entities,l participated in the development of a
201 Plan for its geographic area. The Plan
delineated service areas for Clearnater as
well. as the other local entities involved' in "
developing the Plan. The service areas ~ (
designated in order to determine the scope of
facilities needed in the future. Clearwater
approved these service area designations
when it approved, by resolution,z the 201.,

order itself contemplated the issuance of a
specific set of written guidelines for a partic-
ul~ roadblock. It is the failure to comply
",th that mandate that is fatal to the road-
block here. Jones was decided in 1986, many
years before this roadblock was established.
and the Janes mandate is clear. It is also
apparent from the standard operating order
here that the police were familiar with Jones.
but failed to comply "ith its directive in this
instance.
The requirement of written guidelines is
not merely a formality. Rather. it is the
method this Court and others have chosen to
ensure that the police do not act ,\ith unbri-
dled discretion in exercising the power to
stop and restrain citizens who have manifest-
ed no conduct that would othen\ise justil'v an
intrusion on a citizen's liberty. In this c~un-
try the police are not vested ~th the general
authority to 5et up "routine" roadblocks at
any time or place. Rather, law enforcement
was placed on notice by our holding in Jones
that the stopping and detaining of a citizen is
a serious matter that requires particularized
advance planning and direction and strict
compliance thereafter.
Accordingly, we find that the limited police
directives prepared in this case did not suffi-
ciently circUID5cribe the field officers' discre-
tion and fell far short of the "written set of
uniform guidelines" we required in Janes.
CONCLUSION
We conclude that the documentation used
by the police officials, which patently did not
comply with the State v. Jones requirement
for written guidelines, rendered Campbell's
stop fatally defective under the Fourth
Amendment and article 1, section 12 of the
Florida Con..<:titution. We quash the district

tracts. U
Finally, the majority's reliance on Full-
erlo is misplaced. Fuller involved a contro-
versy over jurisdiction. The issue there
was not whether the City had the right to
terminate the agreement, but only whether
the proper forum to determine that issue
was the circuit court or the PSC. Thus,
Fuller is not dispositive of the question in
this case because any statements made out-
side the conte:{t of the jurisdictional issue
are dicta. C<>nsequently, for the foregoing
reasons, the effect of the PSC order was to
confirm and validate the terms of the con-
tract, thereby adopting and incorporating
those terms into the order, including what-
ever rights of termination were contained
therein.
The only remaining question is whether
the contract that existed between the par-
ties was terminable at will. According to
Williston:
"The general rule is that when a contract
provides that one party shall render ser-
vice to another, or shall act as his agent,
or shall have exclusive sales rights with-
in certain territory, but does not specify
a definite time or prescribe conditions
which shall determine the duration of the
relation, the contract may be terminated
by either party at will. It is true that
such a result does not follow in every
instance, because it is the intention of the
parties which is the ultimate guide, and
in order to ascertain that intention, the
court may take into consideration the
surrounding circumstances, the situation
of the parties, the objects they apparent-
ly have in view, and the nature of the
subject-matter of the agreement."

of Contracts, ~ 1017 A, at 150 n. 11 (3d ed.

~ 545 (1991).
In this case I am not persuaded by the
majority's conclusion that the parties' in-
tent with regard to duration can be divined.
The majority's primary explanation of the
parties' supposed intentions is derived from
the "nature" of the agreement. Although
the majority's arguments have some merit,
I do not think that this Court can ascribe
an intention to the parties in the absence of
any evidence whatsoever of their true in-
tentions. The Fourth District's reasoning
in Gulf Cities Gas Corp. v. Tangelo Park
Service Co. is instructive on this point:
Where the language of a contract is
ambiguous or unclear as to a particular
right or duty, the court may receive evi-
dence extrinsic to the contract for the
purpose of determining the intent of the
parties at the time of the contract. How-
ever, where a contract is simply silent
as to a particular matter, that is, its
language neither expressly nor by rea-
sonable implication indicates that the
parties intended to contract with re-
spect to the matter, the court should
not, under the guise of construction,
impose contractual rights and duties
on the parties which they themselves
omitted. In our opinion the contract be-
fore the court was "silent" as to the i
duration of the defendant's duty to pro-.
vide gas to Tangelo Park Subdivision. .In_
that circumstance the normal rule is that
the duty is terminable at will. And this
rule should have been applied. ..'
.,
"overriding necessity for the state to exercise ItS'
police powers," Park Benvger, 391 So.2d at 683.
there is no "overriding necessity'" in this case'
because the PSC would stilI be required to a~'
prove any new territorial agreement negotiated
by the parties. See ~ 366.04(2)(d), f1a.S1a.t:.
(1989). ,;

Duval County, 73 So.2d 684, 689 (Fla.
1954). The instant agreement expressly
provided that the parties would seek PSC
approval, and the parties knew that such
approval is provided by PSC order.1l
Therefore, in the absence of a provision to
the contrary, we assume the parties intend.
ed to incorporate the general law govern-
ing PSC orders into the agreement.
After considering the surrounding Clr-
cumstances, the nature of the instant
agreement, and the law existing at the time
the agreement was executed, we conclude
that, absent an express provision in the
agreement to the contrary, the law sur-
rounding the modification or termination of
a PSC order is applicable to the instant
territorial settlement agreement. There-
fore, the instant agreement is not termina-
ble at will by the parties and may only be
modified or terminated by the PSC in a
proper proceeding as set forth in Peoples
Gas. U Accordingly, we affirm the decision
of the PSC in the instant case.

The issue to be resolved in this case is
whether a territorial agreement approved
by the PSC prior to 1974, which did not set
forth a specific duration or date for termi-
nation, is terminable at will by either party.
The majority concludes that any contract
that may have existed between the parties
has, in essence, been replaced by the PSC
11. The agreement provides that U[t]he parties
acknowledge that the Company is regulated by
the Florida Public Sen;ce Commission and that
it will have to apply to the Commission for
approval of this agreement." The agreement
further states that U[i]f an order of the Commis-
sion is entered appro\;ng the agreement and the
order becomes final. then as promptly as possi-
ble, each party shall transfer" facilities and cus-
tomers located in the other's service area.
order, which can only be terminated or
modified in accordance with principles of
regulatory and administrative law. Majori-
ty op. at 452. Although, by its terms, PSC
approval was a prerequisite to the validity
of the contract, there is a vast difference
between approving the contract as valid
and inferentially declaring, as the majority
does, that the contract no longer exists. I
cannot accept the majority's theory that
the contract and the rights of the parties
thereunder disappeared because PSC ap-
proval was needed to make the contract
enforceable. Contracts are signed every
day subject to the approval of a third party
or a state agency and no one suggests that
the approval requirement makes the con-
tracts void once that approval has been
obtained.
More importantly, in 1988 FPL sought
and obtained from the PSC a declaratory
statement that the 1967 territorial agree-
ment was a valid, binding contract,13 It is
therefore inconsistent for FPL to now ar-
gue that the contract was subsumed in the
original order.
Furthermore, in 1967 there was no statu-
tory or decisional authority empowering
the PSC to deprive a party of its contractu-
al right to terminate a territorial agree-
ment. or to require the party to demon-
strate necessity for termination due to
changed conditions. Nor can any such au-
thority be derived from the 1974 amend-
ment. The proviso in that amendment spe-
cifically provides that "nothing in this chap-
ter shall be construed to alter existing ter-
ritorial agreements as between the parties
to such agreements." Ch. 74-196, ~ 1,

lack of mutuality of obligation or certainty
of consideration.' These contracts, by
their inherent nature, implied that the par-
ties intended some period of duration and,
therefore, were considered terminable at
will in the absence of an express provision
to the contrary.
[6] In contrast, the instant agreement
involves the settlement of a territorial dis-
pute. There is no mutuality of obligation
problem and neither party owes the other
any further affIrmative obligation, but
merely has the negath'e duty to refrain
from entering the service area of the other.
Parties usually enter into settlement agree-
ments with the intention of permanently
resolving their conflicts with respect to the
subject matter of the agreement. Further,
PSC orders are generally considered final
absent the commission's inherent authority
to modify or terminate them in a proper
proceeding. See Peoples Gas Sys., Inc. v.
Mason, 187 So.2d 335 (Fla. 1966).
In Storey, we stated that FPL and the
City had executed the agreement "[ijD or-
der to end the unsatisfactory effects of
this type of expensive, competitive activi-
ty." 217 So.2d at 306 (emphasis added).
The purpose behind settlement agreements
is to end the dispute, not to delay the
dispute until one of the parties decides it is
advantageous to begin competing again.
The benefit of territorial agreements is the
elimination of competition and the unneces-
sary duplication of facilities and services.

9, In City of Gainesville v. Board of Control, 81
So.2d 514 (Fla.1955), this Court held that an
party could tenninate the agreement as
soon as it was favorable to do 80,' the
benefit to the publk iriterest, as well as to
the parties, would be impaired.
[7] A party would be hesitant to make
substantial investments in franchised areas
if the other party could terminate the fran-
chise at will. In the instant agreement,
FPL refrained from competing with the
City for twenty years, transferred a large
number of its customers to the city,S and
made investments in territories in which it
believed it had an exclusive franchise.'
The detriment to FPL as a result of these
acts cannot be undone and it is unlikely
that FPL intended to place itself in a posi-
tion in which the City could unilaterally
deprive it of its franchised areas under the
agreement and, thus, impair its investment
in those areas. 10 Therefore, as distin-
guished from agreements which, by their
inherent nature, imply the parties intended
the power to terminate the agreement at
will, the nature of the instant agreement as
the settlement of a territorial dispute and
the fact that it was incorporated into a PSC
order, is evidence that the parties intended
the agreement to operate with finality ab-
sent an express provision to the contrary.
Finally, in construing a contract, it is
well established that "the laws existing at
the time and place of the making of the
contract and where it is to be performed
which may affect its validity, construction,
discharge and enforcement, enter into and
become a part of the contract as if they

the agreement was executed, the temtorial
agreement should be construed pursuant to
the law of contracts rather than the law
governing PSC orders. The City further
asserts that, under the law in existence
when the agreement was executed, a con-
tract lacking a definite period of duration
was terminable at will by either party.
Thus, because the instant agreement did
not have a provision governing its duration,
the City had a contractual right to termi-
nate the agreement at will and the PSC had
no statutory or case law authority to de-
prive the City of its right to terminate. We
disagree. In the absence of an express
provision to the contrary in the approved
agreement, the statutory and decisional
law surrounding the modification or termi-
nation of PSC orders governs the territorial
settlement agreement in the instant case.
In Fuller, this Court held that the tem-
torial agreement between the City and FPL
"has no existence apart from the PSC or-
der approving it and that the temtorial
agreement merged with and became a part
of' the PSC order. 551 So.2d at 1212. We
further stated:
Any modification or termination of that
order must first be made by the PSC.
The subject matter of the order is within
the particular expertise of the PSC,
which has the responsibility of avoiding
the uneconomic duplication of facilities
and the duty to consider the impact of
such decisions on the planning, develop-
ment, and maintenance of a coordinated
electric power grid throughout the state
of Florida. The PSC must have the au-
thority to modify or terminate this type
of order so that it may carry out its
express statutory purpose.
Id. (emphasis added). While these state-
ments were made in the context of a juris-
dictional issue, the principles set forth are
applicable to the instant case.
In City Gas Co. v. Peoples Gas System
Inc., 182 So.2d 429, 433 (Fla. 1965), this
Olurt held that temtorial agreements be-
tween public utilities were not violative of
antitrust law based on the premise that
"the public welfare does not need Ch, 542
for protection against this kind of agree-
ment... . because the public interest is'ade-
quately. protected by an alternative ar-
rangement under F.S. Ch. 366, F.S.A." We
further concluded that the "agreement
could result in monopolistic control over
price, production, or quality of service only
by the sufferance of the commission" luid
that its "statutory powers are more than
sufficient to prevent any such outcome if
properly employed." Id. at 435. In Sto-
rey, which upheld the PSC's approval of
the instant agreement, this Court "recog-
nized the importance of the regulatory
function as a substitute for unrestrained
competition" and commented that "a regu-
lated or measurably controlled monopoly is
in the public interest." 217 So.2d at 307.
Therefore, our decisions exempting territo-
rial agreements from antitrust legislation
have been premised on the existence of a
statutory system of regulations governing
the public utilities that is sufficient to pre-
vent any abuses arising from the monopoly
power created by the agreements.
[1] We recognize that when the agree-
ment was executed, municipally owned
electric utilities were exempt from state
agency supervision under section 366.11,
Florida Statutes (1967), and that they en-
joyed "the privileges of legally protected
monopolies within municipal limits."
Storey, 217 So.2d at 307 (emphasis added).
However, in this case the City sought PSC
approval of an agreement which extended
its temtorial monopoly beyond its munici-
pal boundaries to adjacent areas. Unlike
the residents of the City, the customers
residing outside the municipality lack a
voice in the City's political process. By
accepting the additional franchise granted
under the PSC order approving the agree-
ment, the City submitted itself to the PSC's
regulatory authority with respect to the
subject matter of the order. See Miami
Bridge Co. v. Railroad Comm 'n, 155 Fla.
366, 376, 20 So.2d 356, 361 (1945) (no 'im-
proper impairment of the obligation of con-
tracts when the franchise was "accepted
with the full knowledge of the existence of
the police power which authorizes regula-
tions in behalf of the public"), cert. denied,
325 U.S. 867, 65 S.Ct. 1405, 89 L.Ed. 1987
(1945).

the modification or termination of PSC or-
ders was applicable to the instant agree-
ment to the extent it did not contradict the
express terms of the agreement. 5
[4,5] Moreover, even if we were to hold
that the law of contracts should be strictly
applied to the agreement, we would not
construe the agreement to have granted
the City the right to terminate at its discre-
tion. When a contract does not contain an

ASSESS,MENT OF CONFLICTS LISTED IN LARGO RESOLUTI #1702
e
e
"
'r\'helher the City of lArgo. Florid1 may terminate the 1984 Interlocal A8~ ement betwun
the City of Pinellas Parle. Florida and the City of Largo. F/on'da, paining to the
provisions of sanitary sewer service by the City of Largo :0 the area kn as Tract "A"
'which is generally located withi'l the area enclosed by 34th Strut North 12.5th Avenue
North. 28th Street North and 188th Avenue North in PineIlas County. F orida. whether
said Agreement is perpetuDl and whether the City oj LArgo can ever chan I e the raleS for
sewer sen'ice provided to Tract ",4. from lhe rates stated in said Agree en!?
(2)
It is my understanding that the lnterlocal Agreement for Tract '.A" is
order, that the interlocal agreement is, tht."'I'efore. perpetual .md may no
unless both cities agree to terminate the interlocal agreement and Largo ca never change
tbe provision in the agre:ment for billing Pinellas Pa:k at sevent)' ent of Largo's
established r-...tail rate schedule for properties outside the Largo munici al boundaries,
\m1ess both cities agree to cha.'1glllg this provision in the lnterlocal Agree]' en~. It should
also be noted that the southern boundary for Tract "A" is 118th Avenu and not 188th
Avenue as listed in Largo's Resolution No, 1702.
Whether the City of Pine/Las Parle violated the P1JbUc Records lAw, Chapt,T /19, Florida
STaTUles, when it failed to provide all of t:le doc:tments that are Pu!iUc Rec:ords in
response to Public Records requt.5fs made by the City of Largo City Allontey on July 14,
1999 and on October]4, 1999 and the City of Largo Ci.y Clerk on Augu.s+ 17. 1999 and
on August 23. 1999? I
I
On December 8, 1999, when I met with Mr, Stanton in my office, he d-rJmplained that
Pinellas Park allegedly did not forward copies of all its P.Jblic Recor~s which were
responsive to Largo's Public Records requests. Specifically, Mr. Stantoq s?<,ke of First
Union Bank documents. Subsequently, I spoke with the staff member' who had been
involved in providing the Public Records to the Pinellas Park City Cle~ and the staff
member felt that he had provided the documer.ts encomp~ed within Largo's requests.
I then requested that all document,> cor.tamed in tht: allr."1exation file pe~ing to First
Union National Bank property, located at 5005 Ulmerton Road, be pro"fided to Largo.
On December 17, Assistant City Attorney Tom Reynolds tranSmitted that idformation with
a letter to Largo City Attorney Jane Hayman, In Mr. Reynolds OctOber~2' 1999 letter
to Ms. Hayman and again in his December 17, 1999 letter, Mr, Re}n Ids offered to
coordinate a physical i."lSpCCtion of Pinellas Park records, in order to be 5 e that Pinellas
Park had provided ~ of the Public Recolds which Largo had wanted. 1 lieve that any
perceived conflict which may exist rega.'"Ciing Largo's Public Records rjequests can be
resolved through the physical inspection of the records s~gested by ~ ,Reynolds, I
strongly recommend that an inspection of the records be coordinated by argo with Mr.
Reynolds in the very near future.

specifies that, ''1he PROPERTY O';/1\ER hereby consents to an:lex into the City, wd no
other mWticipality..." Should Mo:her City annex all t.,~ :eal property Lrroundirg Mr.
\Viley's prope0', J\.1r. Wiley's Fope~1 would be'on~~ <1ll en.:iave in th~l other City in
rerp~uity. His situation would adversely af:ect Mr. W:ky's abEty to ~uUy utilize his

;:'iobl~ms In p1an:llng, growth m:n:age:nent, ar.d servl~~ dehvery, tnerdcre, declares lh,t
it ~s the policy of the State to eliminate encle.\'~~. Therefore, Section 2J2(a) in Largc;'s

was laid out for the cities. The City of S[. Petersburg was supposed to te the eastern
boundaries over by Fea1hersour:d, but n.:)w in the letter from Largo, it menti1ns taking over
that planning area of St. peter5Jurg. Councilwoman Bailey stated there is Illot of thir,gs
coming out of Lugo which j$ not in the best interest of Largo citizenry, our it:zenry or St
Petersburg'$ citizenry and feels court is the only way to settle it.
Cecil Bradbury, 9400 50th Way, stated he felt Council has bent over b8ckwfrdS a little bit
farther than we would have in trying to deal v.ith this matter. Mr, Bradbury tated the City
of Largo has a sewer district and the reason that district is devised the way i is, is to allow
them to go out l\1ld bond the indebtedness of that district b. order to proVidete'\lIer. Largo
only provides one sePtice out offour, yet they feel they should be able to dictat what happens
and felt it was time for the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County and PineH Park to join
together in an effort to set the re~rd straight.

CITY COUNCIL TO INITIATE CO~FLICT RESOLU'nON P OCEDIJRES
PROVIDED UNDER THE FLORIDA GOVERNMENTAL CONFLICT
RESOLUTION ACT PRIOR TO INlTIA TING COURT PROCEEDIN S AGAINST
THE CITY OF LARGO. FLORIDA.
FIRST A~D FINAL READING.
Mayor Mischler stated many people may have already read the article in th St. Petersburg
Times regarding the conflict between Pinellas Park and Largo where an agree~ent was trying
to be reached for annexation boundaries. Largo had a meeting a fe-.v weeks ~go where they
made some comments and PineUas Park Council addressed those comments th~y made during
the Tuesday, December 7, 1999 Workshop. The City of Pine lIas Pa:k counter9d to Largo and
asked their Assistant City Manger to please get back to Pinellas Park thi~ e\ ning. A letter
was received from Largo City Manager Steve Stanton in which h: address the comments
that were made at the Pinella! Park Workshop and stated he was not in agr ement with the
proposal made by PinelJas Park. In the $t. Petersburg Times Neighborh od Edition on
Wednesday, there is a triangular tract, in the proximity of Llmerton Road d U.S. 19 that
Pine1Jas Park Vias willing to forego and give to Largo providing they would gi e Pinl"llas Park
the tract east ofRoos.evelt Boulevard and north ofL1merton, which is where Hampton Inn
is located. Based on the letter received from Largo, Mayor Mischler st!.tedlhe wiU have to
agree with o~her members of Council for litigation proceedings.
CounciLllan Taylor stated that the City did not go 100king for this and! is Council has
continued to have dialogue 'Nith Largo in good faitb, but every tirr.e Coune-il tHought they had
a deal, it changed and has come back again. Councilman Taylor stated th~ City has been
forced to make this decision for litigation and then~ is a process to go thro~gh before it is
brought to court, but it could be resolved before it reaches the CO'Jrt stage. I
Assistant City Attorney Todd stated there is a procedure that is mandated y Florida Law
before a case between two municipalities can go to court to be litigated. Chap er 164, Florida
Statutes requires a number of steps be taken by the municipalities before th matter can be
taken to court. The first step is to notify the City of Largo that theIe is a co iet and that is
the purpose of the Resolution to give formal notification to them that there e two issues of
conflict betw::n Pinel1as Park and Largo to be resolved.

honoring the Interlocal Agreement as of January 1,2000. The sewer rates- for Tract A \!rill
be increased at an additional cost ofS26.i3S.00 per year. I
I
City ~lanager Mudd proposed the following four a1:ematives for lh< Tr'!l A sew", iss::e:
I
1. Pay the increa~e, \,,-hieh hus the advantage of avoiding litigaton, whereas the
disadvantage would be the additicnal cost
I
2. Do not ?ay the increa~ed cost. i
I
3. Install a local waste water collection system that would f10\~ to the Pinellas
COlDlty Sewer system, at a cost of$37 1.000.00. The current whQl~saIe rates for the
I
County would save Pinellas Park $740.00 a year in wastewater .atment cost, but
PineUas County will be raising their wholesale rates a3 of Octo r I, 2000, which
would then cost the City $26,40 1.00~ which is more than Larbo s increase.
4. Don't pay the increase and ptU"sue a process that leads to li~gati 0, which has t~e .
di~vantage of legal fees. I

3. Withdraw the offer presently made to Largo. This would sult in more
annexations, however, sewer service would still be deni,::d to the disson Hotel
and sewer indentures and annexation agreements would not be ca celed.
4. '\l,'ithdrawal the latest offer and pursue a course of action tha would lead to
litigation. If this action was successful the advantages woul be increased
annexation, no loss of service area for the High Point Fire Station, go would be
required to provide sewer service to all the undevelopei pro rties and their
annexation inientures would not b: of a..'1y value at that point. disadvantage
would be Attom:y's fees .....hich are estimated at between 15,000.00 and
$25,500.00. Th:se fees are lower because the disagreement with L go is based on
,
legal issues.
Largo Assistant City Manager Ross stated thet 1he two outstanding issues f concern to the
Largo City Commission are the prope'rty by the Cross Bayou Canal an
District.
City Manager Mudd stated that the Radigson :-Iotel has agreed to allow th
easement on their property to construct a lift station, which would have
of $225,000.00.

I
City Manag~r Mudd stated that within the last f~w m,)r.ths property owner north of 126th
A venue have decided to voluntarily annex ir.to :he City of Pi:lellas Park, ausing Largo to
threaten that sewer service would no IO:1ger be provided to that Mea an also that sewer
rstes in Tract A would be raised. On Octeb:r 19, 1999, the Largo C y Commission
indicated that they would no longer recQgnlze the interlocal agr:ement , etween Pinellas
Park and the City of Largo for Tract A sewer service. TIle next day e. let er was received
formally indicating that Largo would Dot pro\ide sewer s~rvice to the new d:sson Hotel.
City ~anager Mudd Stated that at the Worksr.op of November 9, 1999, he: presented an
annexation boundary of Uhnerton Road, 'J,:hich Council agreed with. S bsequently, the
Largo Com:nissioD met again deciding they liked the Ulmerton Road bo' dary, b'Jt the)'
would like to move the boundary in the vici.uty of 62nd Street and C ss Bayou so it
foll(.\\vs l26th Avenue. The reason given fo: the change wa~ that area is w: hin Largo's Fire
District. The Largo commission indicated t.~e willingness to negotiate do this piece and
possibly a parcel on the east side of Roo5e'\ :::It 3:)wevard. City Ma."1ager\1udd presented
the following four alternatives:
1. Accept Largo's latest offer, allcwi.,g the targeted property to becom~ part of
Latgo's planning area, The adv3.rlt3ses of accepting the offer i that Largo has
indicated it would serve the Radisson :-totd and that Largo would cancel all sewer
indent~ and annexation agreen::ents within Pinellas Perk's pl 'ng area, The
disadvantages would be that over time:he acceptance of this offe would limit the
annexation potential of Pine lIas pJI'k, ~ Largo anneKes further st of the Cross
Bayou Canal it would reduce the High Point Fire District.
2. Make a counter offer which would have the same advantages/dis
previous alternative. Additional adYanb~es would be that if the unter offer was
successful. then more properties would be obt2.ined over tim . An additional
disadvantage would be that more time would pass before La.rg would agree to
provide the Radisson Hotel with sewer service.

F or a number of years City Council h~ suspended the bidding d advertising
reqciremenl3 of Chapter 2 "Administration", Mele 6, City P chases, for the
period after and the expected arrival of an approaching hurricnn , by adopting a
Resoluticr. declai.ng a state of emergency that included language ~ r suspep.Cjion of
acvertising and bidding. This has been done to provide City Co' cil input as to
w:1.:o these provisions would be suspended. Hcwever, Section 2-6 2 does contelin
la.'1gue.ge that suspends the e.dvenising and bidding :-equirements the event of a
10:a1 d:sast:r of catastrophe. Section 2-602 specifies that this prl):edure requires
v...':'itten Mayoral approval to enter into contracts; 'J.ith Council bbing notified of
scch action as soon as possible. Another way to suspend the ~dvertising and
bidding requirements would be to add language in Section 2-602 t~pro\'ide for this
stLr:per.sion of the advertising and bidding in conjur.ction with the tinellas County
Board of County Commi:lsioner's declaration of a state of emerg_ncy. The three
al.emati\ies outlined here are: (I) Adopt a Resolution decI ~ng a state of

states of em~rgeney.
Conser.sus of Council was to follow the provision L~t is currentl . in the Coce of
