Re: ORI 1179 Sheraton Sand Key Resort Expansion
Dea r Ms. Benz:
In response to your letter dated September 2, 1988 requesting
additional information, the following is provided:
EDUCATION
The option of developing Tower Two for 267 condominium units is
specified in the ADA and Sufficiency Response. The applicant
currently envisions that the condominium units may be marketed for
seasonal residents and may be part of the resort's rental pool similar
in nature to Innisbrook in Tarpon Springs and/or Saddlebrook in Pasco
County. The condominium units are envisioned for use by hotel guests
(overnight), vacationing families, empty nestors, corporations, second
homes for Tampa Bay residents, and seasonal residents (3 to 4 months).
Therefore, the number of school age children will be negligible. A
follow up letter has been mailed to ~1r. George Wajdowitz, Planning
Specialist, Pinellas County Schools (copy enclosed) requesting
verification of the School Board's ability to accommodate potentially
up to 35 students if the second tower were developed under "normal"
residential condominium conditions.
TRANSPORTATION
Should the second tower be developed as a condominium, it is not
appropriate that it be subject to the requirement regarding the
improvement of Gul f Boul evard between vial si ngham and Fourth St reet.
The condominium residents and employees will be encouraged to use the
parlor and shuttle car service. In addition, trips generated by the
development while projected to exceed the regiona'l thresholds (5%).
will be offset by the planned improvement of the link which is
currently the subject of a corridor study being undertaken by FOOT.
Finally, impact fees calculated pursuant to the Pinellas County Impact
Fee Ordinance exceed the project's fair share exaction pursuant to the
DCA rule (@ TBRPC 5%).
The calculations that demonstrate that project traffic will be less
than 5 percent of existing Level of Service 0 volume are reflected 1n

Al ternate ResidentJA~1JatSiO (p. 5-6 through 10). Si nce the
calculations and methodology outlined in this section were based upon
a trip generation rate of 0.80/trips per room for the hotel for the
entire 750 rooms, if the residential option to build 267 condominiums
is chosen (trip generation rate of 0.51 trips per condominium) the
impact on the roadway system w,ll be proportionately less and,
therefore, within the existing Level of Service "0".
HOUSING
As noted in the previous response under "Education," the applicant
envisions that the condominium option, if employed, will be marketed
primarily to seasonal residents (3 to 4 months), hotel guests
(overnight), vacationing families, empty nestors, corporations and
second homes for Tampa Bay residents. All of these may be part of the
resort's rental pool.
It is envisioned that the condominiums would be priced comparably with
those on Sand Key (i.e. $150,000 or more). As noted in the earlier
response, 54 one-bedroom units and 213 two-bedroom units are planned.
With respect to proposed densities, as stated in the earlier response
by the applicant, densities have been established in the Settlement
Stipulation and also include a transference of density from the
adjacent property, with City of Clearwater concurrence.
Upon your receipt of this final response, we request that notification
be provided to the City of Clearwater to sei the Public Hearing
pursuant to Chapter 380.06 F.S. as no further response are considered
necessary other than the response being forwarded directly to you by
the school board. Should you have any questions, please call.

RE: Sheraton Sand Key Resort Expansion, DRI 1179
Dear Mr. Wajdowicz:
Wade-Trim is preparing the Development of Regional Impact/Application
For Development Approval (DRI/ADA) for the Sheraton Sand Key Resort
Expansion.
The Sheraton Sand
Range 15E in the
south of Pinellas
Gulf Boul eva rd.
site.
Key Resort is located in Section 17, Township 29S,
City of Clearwater. The resort lies im:nediately
County Sand Key Park fronting on the west side of
A general location map is enclosed depicting the
The proposal expansion will be developed employing two options:
Option A: 750 Hotel Suites
or
Option B: 428 Hotel Suites
267 Condomini ums
If Option "B" is developed, the applicant enV1Slons the sale of
condominiums to seasonal residents (3 to 4 month residency), hotel
guest (overnight) vacationing families, empty nesters, corporations,
and second home owners from the Tampa Bay Area, consequent ly the
number of school age children will be zero or negligible at best.
However, if the condominium were marketed to permanent each residents
a potential for 35 students exists when utilizing the generally
accepted standard of 0.130 school age children per condominium.
It is requested that the your office confirm acceptance of this
estimate by response to this letter with a copy forwarded to Ms.
Suzanne Cooper, DRI Coordinator, Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council,
9455 Koger Boulevard Suite 219, St. Petersburg Florlda 33702.

Re: Sheraton Sand Key Resort - Sufficiency Response
Dear Ms. Benz:
In response to your letter dated July 8.1988 concerning additional
information regarding the DRI/ADA for the Sheraton Sand Key Resort. we
have prepared information for your review. Requests for additional
data as requested by the SWFWMD and the PSTA are also enclosed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. A copy of the Settlement Stipulations (Court Cases No. 83-14905-7
and 78-4765-7) is provided as Exhibit 1 of this enclosure.
2. The applicant has not yet formally applied for the Coastal
Construction Line variance. Preliminary work required prior to
application to the City is not complete but is expected in the
immediate near future. The applicant has delayed submission of
detailed construction permits pending approval of all planning
appl ications.
VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE
1. The project will not infringe on historic nesting areas. As
discussed on Page 1-22 of the Sufficiency Response. construction
of expansion facilities will not occur in typical sea turtle
nesting areas. Sea turtles typically nest between the mean high
water line and the sand dune line. Construction of the hotel
facilities will occur landward of the proposed dunes. The
creation of a defined dune system will actually enhance the beach
for sea turtle nesting because a defined dune,system will shield
light from the existing development and provi'de a base at which
the turtles prefer to lay eggs. The dunes will not actually be an
encroachment onto historic nesting areas and will encourage
nesting activity. Representatives of the Clearwater Marine
Sc i ence Center and FDNR were consul ted on thi s as well as the
following issues. (Personal Communication. Alan Huff. FDNR. 7-15.
18-88. Dennis Kellenberger CMSC 7-18-88).

2. The commitment to a sea turtle hatchery has been added to the list
of commi tments. The permanent hatchery wi 11 be a 1200 sq. ft.
fericed in area with a locked gate. The top of the hatchery will
be covered and pl ans wi 11 incl ude a boardwal k around the hatchery.
The hatchery will be used by the Clearwater Marine Science Center
as an incubation and relocation point for eggs found in poor
nesting areas.
In the future the hatchery will be used for Kerrp's ridley sea
turtles as well as loggerhead sea turtles and will be of
comparable dimensions to the temporary facility currently in
place.
3. Attached is correspondence to the FDNR requesting documentation.
A response is forthcoming.
In the meantime, questions concerning the project as it relates to
sea turtles may be directed to Mr. Alan Huff of the FDNR Bureau of
Marine Research in St. Petersburg.
4. There is no discrepancy. The FDNR letter of December 17,1987
from Jennifer Murtay (attached) requests no heavy beach cleaning
equipment to be used during nesting season. Ms. Murtay suggests
that beach cleaning equipment be limited to light rakes, excluded
from a 10 foot radius around each nest.
The commitments listed on page 1-5 and 2-11 of the S.R. are in
concert with FONR requests.
5. As discussed in previous documents, hotel lighting will not
directly illuminate areas seawcid of the dunes as it will be
shielded by vegetation and sand. Hotel room lights will be
minimized through the use of window tinting; shielding of patio
lights; low watt exterior lights designed to shine downward on
patio surfaces; tennis courts will be fenced and shielded with
mylar draping; and walkway lighting will be minimized with
shielding protection.
WATER SUPPL Y
Landscape plantings will be irrigated at a rate of 1.5 in.jwk. Based
on 4.25 ac. of landscaped area, a non-potable water demand of 24,728
GPO is calculated.
ENERGY
Average daily and peak hour electric power demand estimates for the
Residential Option for Tower 2, are provided along with the generation
rates used.

EDUCATION
The residential units anticipated for Tower 2 of the expansion are
intended to be similar in price and occupancy characteristics of other
condominiums on Sand Key. The occurrence of school age children is
expected to be negligible due to the nature of the projected
owner-type.
However, an estimate for purposes of addressing Question 26,
Education, has been prepared and a letter sent to the Pinellas County
School Board requesting verification of the availability of classroom
space.
FIRE
The ISO rating for the station serving the existing Sheraton Sand Key
Resort is 3 with a response time of 3-5 minutes. This number was
provided through telephone conversations with Vi rginia Kosta of the
City of Clearwater Fire Department on July 25, 1988.
TRANSPORTATION
1. The appl i cant has stated thei r intent to make it mandatory that
employees arriving from the south during the A.M. and P.M. peak
periods use the hotel-furnished shuttle. The shuttle will operate
during both the A.M. and P.M. peak hours.
2. Parlor car service for both A.M. and P.M. peak hours will be
implemented by the applicant and made available to hotel patrons.
3. The appl icant agrees to annual monitoring and inclusion of the
monitoring program results in the annual report' after the C.O. has
been issued. It is felt that two years of monitoring is
sufficient to demonstrate that ridership has been achieved.
4. Trip generation rates to condominium units are about 50% less than
the rate for hotel units. Therefore the number of projected trips
wi 11 be reduced and DRI thresholds (5% of capacity) wi 11 not be
met if the condominium units are built.

Subject: DR! 1179 Sheraton Sand Key Resort Expansion
Dear Ms. Cooper:
On behalf of Grand Couloir Corporation. Wade-Trim is pleased to submit
this Sufficiency Response (SR) for The Sheraton Sand Key Resort
Expansion Development of Regional Impact.
Because of the fact that the stipulations in the recent court
decisions allowing the construction of residential and hotel units
appeared to be of concern. we have calculated the impacts that would
be created if the second tower were built as a residential property.
The results of this analysis are included in the response under
Section 5 headed "Alternate Residential Use."
A total of 32 copies have been delivered to all individuals listed on
the attached Sufficiency Response transmittal list. If additional
copies are requ1;ed or any supplemental information is needed, please
do not hesitate to contact me or Mr. Dave Gildersleeve of our staff.
Sincerely.

A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
QUESTIONS 11 & 12 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND MAPS
1. PLEASE PROVIDE A LAND USE AND ZONING MAP OF THE PROJECT SITE AND
ADJACENT PARCELS.
Exhibits I-A and I-B reflect the current City of Clearwater land
use and zoning designations. The project site is zoned "B"
(Business) with a Land Use Plan Classification of Commercial/
Tourist Facilities, which reflect the terms of the Settlement
Stipulations (Court Case No. 83-14905-7 and 78-4765-7). Further,
as noted in Ms. Paula Harvey's letter dated January 26, 1988, lithe
allowable density is provided for in the stipulation, and although
it exceeds that provided for under the terms of the land Use Plan,
the stipulation shall prevailll (See Exhibit I-C).
2. PLEASE PROVIDE A REVISED COpy OF MAP G. MUCH OF THE PRINTING ON
THE PRESENT COPY IS UNCLEAR AND SEVERAL AREAS DO NOT HAVE FLOW
DIRECTION DELINEATED.

sea turtle nests found on the Sheraton beach. This c:tivity
wili begin May 1 and continue through the en~ of nesting
season, November 1.
Mechanized beach cleaning will occur only after the daily
nesting surveys. Cleaning equipment will avoid identified
nests.
Dunes will be created and vegetated on the existing Sheraton
property as well as the expansion property. FDNR personnel
will be consulted concerning dune construction. Two dune
walkovers will be incorporated into the dune system. This
measure will serve to create the natural dune system as well as
conceal artificial lighting visible from the beach.
Dune walkover lighting will be footlights or appropriately
shielded low frequency lighting. The site plan is being
designed to minimize light visible to hatchlings.
Any construction requiring exterior lighting during the nesting
season (M~y 1 - November 1) will be limited to daylight hours.

QUESTION 13 - AIR
1. IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO SUBMIT AN AIR
QUALITY IMPACT ANALYSIS AFTER THE FINALIZATION OF TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
AND DURING SUFFICIENCY REVIEW.
As noted in the Transportation Section of the ADA and this
Sufficiency Response, the proposed development results in a
negligible impact on area roadways. Because of this negligible
impact, an Air Quality Impact Analysis is not deemed necessary by
either the applicant or regional review agency.
2. WHERE IS THE CLOSEST AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATION IN RELATION TO
THE SUBJECT SITE?
The closest air monitoring station to the subject site is located
at the Pinellas County Sheriffs Department, 250 West Ulmerton
Road. This station monitors for total suspended particulates
(TSP), carbon monoxide (CO), and lead (Pb). '
3. WHEN AN APPLICANT PROPOSES TO UTILIZE THE PIPELINE OPTION FOR
TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION, AIR QUALITY MODELLING SHALL BE BASED
UPON PARAMETERS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OPTION. AIR QUALITY
MODELLING SHALL NOT BE BASED ON THE IMPROVED ROADWAY NETWORK SET
FORTH IN RESPONSE TO QUESTION 31.F OF THE ADA, UNLESS FUNDING
COMMITMENTS BY A RESPONSIBLE ENTITY ARE CONFIRMED.
Please refer to Question 13-1 above. The applicant will not
employ the Pipeline Option to mitigate transportation impacts.

QUESTION 14 - LAND
1. WHAT HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE LAND ACCRETION IN THE PROJECT AREA?
IS THIS TREND LIKELY TO CONTINUE, CEASE OR POSSIBLY REVERSE
ITSELF?
The cause of accretion of the shoreline seaward of the project
under consideration is due primarily to the stabilization of
Clearwater Pass in 1975. The construction of the rock jetty along
the northern end of Sand Key has resulted in the impoundment of
substantial quantities of sand to the south of the Pass through
the formation of an extremely large accretion fillet. The source
of sand presently residing in the accretion fillet has been both
natural and man-induced. Sand dredged from the Pass by the City
was placed south of the jetty on the County Park property in 1975.
Several dredge disposal operations at the same location have like-
wise been constructed by the Corps of Engineers. Beginning in
1983, construction of a beach fill project along approximately
7,000 feet of shoreline was instigated. A substantial portion of
that project fill has subsequently been impounded by the
Clearwater Pass south jetty.
The result of this process has been the rapid and continued
seaward propagation of the shoreline seaward of the Sheraton
project. As of 12/21/87 the Mean High Water Line (MHWL) was an
average of 619 feet seaward of the CCCL on the Sheraton property.
Accretion at this location is expected to continue to occur.
Although the process could be expected to ultimately stabilize,
there is no reason to believe that any significant MHWL recession
will occur in the future. Both storm effects and future beach
fill projects will tend to result in future accretion at the
project site,
2. HOW WILL THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AFFECT BEACH
CONFIGURATION IN TERMS OF SAND TRANSFER ALONG THE DUNE LINE?
The proposed project will not adversely affect beach configuration
due to impacts of sand transfer along the duneline. There is
presently no defined duneline along the subject property. The
project under consideration will result in the construction of a
uniform and continuous vegetated dune formation.
3. WHAT SPECIFIC MEASURES WILL BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT SOIL EROSION
DURING AND AFTER CONSTRUCTION?
To prevent soil erosion during and after construction hay bales
and sediment traps will be implemented. The area surrounding new
construction will be landscaped as soon as practical.

QUESTION 17 - FLOODPLAINS
1. PLEASE CLARIFY THE TIMING OF THE APPLICATION TO THE FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR PROJECT CONSTRUCTION LOCATED
SEAWARD OF THE COASTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTROL LINE.
A CCCL application has been filed and is running concurrently with
the DRI process. Preconstruction meetings have been held with the
Division of Beaches and Shores and DNR, pertaining to the permit
submittal requirements and the advance submittal of a 3D-year
Seasonal High Water Line Survey (SHWL). The latter was forwarded
to the Agency on December 29, 1987 for its advance acceptance and
filing relative to the pending permit submittal.
2. PLEASE CLARIFY THE CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS WHICH WILL BE
INCORPORATED INTO PROJECT DESIGN TO PROTECT THE PROJECT FROM STORM
SURGE AND SCOURING. WHAT SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN FEATURES WILL
BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PROJECT WHICH EXCEED THE MINIMUM
PERMITTABlE BY LAW OR RULE?
By virtue of the proposed project's footprint being partially
seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, the entire major
habitable structure will be constructed in accordance with the
design standards required by Chapter 161.053 F.S. and Chapter
168-33 F.A.C. for construction seaward of the CCCL. These
standards exceed local standards required for construction
landward of the CCCL.
3. PLEASE SEND TBRPC AND THE CITY OF CLEARWATER A COpy OF THE
HURRICANE EVACUATION PROPOSAL, WHICH HAS BEEN SUPPLIED TO PINELLAS
COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
The Sheraton does not have a documented hurricane evacuation
proposal. However, as in the past, the hotel will follow all
instructions established by the City of Clearwater.
The following is a synopsiS of procedures followed during past
evacuations. After verification of the evacuation order by the
Clearwater Police Department, all guests are instructed to leave
the facilities by the Belleair Causeway and to seek hotel accommo-
dations inland, or to go to designated Pinellas County shelters.
For guests needing transportation to evacuate, school buses are
provided under the direction of the Clearwater Police and Fire
Departments. Employees evacuate following the same instructions.
After the evacuation order is given the property is secured for
the prevention of any damage. A member of the Sheraton executive
team is in command at all times.

QUESTION 18 - VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE
1. PLEASE PROVIDE MAP F SHOWING VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS ON-SITE.
Map F provided in the ADA is a combined Map D & F. The vegetation
cover was classified as FLUCCS category 322, Coastal Scrub. This
scrub category represents a conglomeration of species found in the
coastal zone. This cover type is generally found in dune and
white sand areas. Commonly found species in this category include
sea purslane, sea grape, sea oats, bay bean, spanish bayonet and
prickley pear. The land proposed for expansion is, for tt.e most
part, vacant land that exhibits several of the above varieties of
plants in small quantities along with other varieties of grasses,
weeds, and sandspurs.
2. PLEASE PROVIDE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CREATE AND IlREVEGETATE"
THE DUNE SYSTEM.
The present dune system referred to in the ADA is not signifi-
cantly defined. It is a sparse remnant system that has been
referred to in the original report for reference purposes. As
reflected on Map H (revised) the proposed expansion will result in
the construction of a uniform and contiguous vegetated duneline
that will far exceed the size and quality of what now stands in
what is referred to as the present "dune 1 ine.1I
3. THE TIME OF YEAR IN WHICH THE BIOLOGICAL SURVEY IS CONDUCTED IS
CRITICAL IN DETECTING CERTAIN ENDANGERED OR THREATENED SPECIES.
WHAT METHODS WERE USED AND ON WHAT DATES WERE SURVEYS CONDUCTED TO
ENUMERATE THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE SITE?
A qualitative pedestrian survey was conducted on November 6, 1987
with Mr. Alan Huff of FDNR, Mr. Dennis Kellenberger of the
Clearwater Marine Science Center, Mr. Jack Dronzek of Grand
Couloir Corporation, Mr. Douglas Robison and Ms. Tammy Lyons of
Wade-Trim, Inc. It was the consensus of the reviewing parties
that no significant vegetation or habitat for species other than
the loggerhead sea turtle was present on the site.
4. PLEASE PREPARE A MAP WHICH INDICATES THE PORTIONS OF THIS PROJECT
SITE WHICH HISTORICALLY MEET THE DEFINITION OF PRESERVATION AREAS,
AS DEFINED IN THE COUNCIL'S ADOPTED GROWTH POLICY, FUTURE OF THE
REGION, SECTIONS 10.1.2 AND 10.3.1.
Council growth policies 10.1.2 and 10.3.1 define conservation and
preservation areas as coastal marshes, mangrove forests, marine
grass beds and significant sand dunes, respectively. The proposed
hotel expansion will not encroach upon or otherwise impact any of
those systems. The remnant sand dunes existing on site are dis-
turDed and not significant. Therefore no map is provided.

C. ECONOMY
QUESTION 20 - ECONOMY
1. IT IS UNCLEAR FROM TABLE 20-1 AS TO HOW THE CONSTRUCTIOH
EMPLOYMENT TOTAL (331) WAS DERIVED. PLEASE PROVIDE THE
METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEES.
The estimate of the number of construction employees to be
utilized on the project was derived by projecting a construction
time schedule for both phases, by trade, and imputing the number
of employees for each trade by construction sequence.
2. THE TABLES THAT APPEAR ON PAGES 20-4 AND 20-5 ARE NOT NUMBERED.
ALTHOUGH THE TABLE WHICH APPEARS ON THE TOP OF PAGE 20-4 DOES
ILLUSTRATE SALARY RANGES, THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE ESTIMATED
ANNUAL PAYROLL. PLEASE PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY
THE ADA.
The tables that appear as "Table 20-2, Estimated Annual Payroll -
Normal and High Season Permanent Employees" and "Table 20-3,
Estimated Annual Payroll - Construction Personnel" have been
revised and are attached as Exhibit 4A, 4B and 4C.
3. THE "NORMAL SEASOW AND "HIGH SEASON" PERSONNEL FIGURES SHOWN IN
PAGE 20-4 APPEARS TO INDICATE THAT THE NUMBER OF PERMANENT
EMPLOYEES WILL VARY SEASONALLY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO NARRATIVE
PROVIDED TO THIS EFFECT. PLEASE ADDRESS THE METHODOLOGY USED TO
DETERMINE THAT THE "NORMAL SEASON" WOULD REQUIRE 419 EMPLOYEES AND
THE "HIGH SEASON" WOULD REQUIRE 549 EMPLOYEES.
As the tourist trade throughout the State of Florida experiences
an ebb and flow of visitors to the state, related facilities
dependent on the tourist market also experience seasonality in
their business volumes. Consequently, additional personnel are
required to service the added client numbers throughout the winter
months and are reduced through the typically slower summer season.
The method used in forecasting the personnel figures for the
Sheraton Sand Key expansion is based on 13 years experience of the
present Sheraton Sand Key Resort. The high season will be
February through April, while the balance of the months are
"normal season". The fluctuation is usually due to the banquet
department personnel that handle conventions and meetings.
1-14
\\'aoc- i rlr;'".
4. THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS (ITE) TRIP GENERATION
MANUAL INDICATES THAT A HOTEL WILL EMPLOY. ON AVERAGE. 0.90
EMPLOYEES PER ROOM. THE 419 TO 549 PERMANENT EMPLOYEES PROJECTED
BY THE APPLICANT APPEARS TO BE TOO CONSERVATIVE. PLEASE JUSTIFY
THE EMPLOYMENT FIGURE.
The method used in forecasting the employment level is based on
the present 390 rooms that the Sheraton Sand Key Resort has
operated for the past 13 years. The past experience of employment
level runs from 280 to 325 personnel or approximately 0.77
employee1s per room. The proposed Sheraton Sand Key expansion
will enjoy some efficiencies in using some personnel from the
existing facility (i.e. desk, maintenance, kitchen personnel,
etc. ) .
5. PLEASE ESTIMATE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE PERMANENT EMPLOYEES WILL BE
FOUND WITHIN THE TAMPA BAY REGION.
To cl ari fy, it woul d be accurate to state that approximately 95~
of the permanent employees will be found within the Tampa Bay
region.
6. PLEASE PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF THE ABSORPTION RATE OF HOTEL ROOMS,
PER ANNUM, IN THE SHERATON SAND KEY AREA.
Current estimates of the absorption rates of hotel rooms in the
Clearwater Beach area are 253 hotel rooms per annum.
7. PLEASE PROVIDE ESTIMATES OF ANY IMPACT FEES WHICH WILL BE ASSESSED
AGAINST THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

QUESTION 22 - DRAINAGE
1. UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE DETENTION POND BE FILLED TO
THREE FEET OF DEPTH? WHAT SAFETY MEASURES WILL BE EMPLOYED TO
RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE AREA, DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH?
The retention/detention pond will be designed to contain the
runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour storm event for post-development
conditions while limiting peak discharge rates to the 25-year
event under existing conditions in accordance with SWFWMD 40D-4
Regulations and City of Clearwater Storm Drainage Design Criteria.
Therefore, the pond will be at +4.5 elevation with a maximum of 2'
depth. The developer will meet all applicable design and safety
measures required by the City of Clearwater.
2. HOW WILL THE DETENTION AREA BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DUNE SYSTEM?
HOW WILL THE OUTFLOW STRUCTURE BE DESIGNED TO PREVENT EROSION,
SCOUR AND WASHOUTS?
The dune system is part of the detention pond's perimeter. Solid
sod will be utilized to prevent erosion. Decorative riprap will
be installed if required.

QUESTION 27 - RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
1. PLEASE CLARIFY WHICH RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, INCLUDING THOSE
DESIGNATED FOR PASSIVE RECREATION, WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
All recreational facilities lying landward of the proposed dune
system will be provided for the use of hotel guests and residents.
Existing and future accreted beach lying seaward of the proposed
dune system will be available to both the general public, hotel
guests and residents.
2. WILL ANY PORTION OF THE PROJECT, INCLUDING BEACH DUNES INFRINGE ON
CURRENT OR HISTORIC LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLE NESTING AREAS?
Sand Key beach has historically been and is currently known to
have nesting loggerhead sea turtles. However, construction of the
project will not occur in the most probable loggerhead nesting
areas. If present, the sea turtles generally nest between the
mean high water line and sand dunes. Construction of hotel
facilities will occur landward of the proposed dunes. Eventually
the minor encroachment will be mitigated by the continued
accretion of new beach.
Creation of a dune system is intended to mitigate possible impacts
to the sea turtles. The turtles frequently nest near the base of
the dune. The creation of the dune system will enhance the
existing beach habitat as well as shield hatchlings from visible
light and will extend around the southwestern edge of the
property.

E. TRANSPORTATION
QUESTION 31 - TRANSPORTATION
TBRPC COMMENTS
1. PLEASE PROVIDE LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE TRANSPORTATION
AGENCIES ATTESTING TO THE EXTENT AND SCHEDULING OF IMPROVEMENTS
INDICATED IN THE ADA IN QUESTION 31-A.
The only planned improvement identified in the study is the
widening of Gulf Boulevard in two locations. A letter from
Pinellas County attesting to these improvements was included as
Exhibit 31-4 of the original ADA.
2. IT IS STATED IN QUESTION 12 THAT AN EQUIVALENT NUMBER OF RESIDEN-
TIAL UNITS, IN TERMS OF TRIP GENERATION, MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR
322 HOTEL SUITES. PAGE 31-15 SAYS NBECAUSE THE PROJECT IS A
HOTEL, IT HAS A DISTRIBUTION OF TRIPS THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE
STANDARD DRI PROJECT." HOW THEN CAN A SUBSTITUTION OF THE ONE
LAND USE FOR ANOTHER BE BASED SIMPLY ON TRIP GENERATION RATES?
As noted earlier in this Sufficiency Response, the Settlement
Stipulation, Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7 provides the option of
constructing either hotel or residential uses on the property. As
outlined in the ADA, the development of Towers 1 and 2 as hotel
suites generates the following peak hour trips:
o 750 Hotel rooms X 0.80 t ri psi room = 600 t ri ps
The peak hour trip generation for towers 1 and 2 as hotel and
condominiums is as follows:
o 428 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 342
o 267 Condos X 0.51 trips/condo = 136
ill trips
The attached tables illustrate the roadway link (i .e. Gulf
Boulevard from Walsingham to 4th Avenue) impacted by the proposed
development and assumes the same trip distribu~ion for condomin-
iums and hotel rooms. This distribution is deemed appropriate
given the limited alternatives for distribution of project traffic
in an easterly direction (i.e. via Belleair Causeway and
Walsingham Road). It is anticipated that the distribution of
shopping or work trips which could be associated with the con-
struction of Tower 2 as residen~ial condominiums will not be sig-
nificantly different than those associated with a hotel use.
Additionally, the actual number of peak hour trips would be
reduced as a result of the development of Tower 2 as residential
condominiums. Exhibit 31-6 illustrates the 1997 Project Irip
Distribution at Gulf Boulevard and 4th Avenue.

The origin-destination survey conducted by Wade-Trim in preparing
the original ADA submittal was conducted between 4:00-6:00 p.m. on
September 22, 24 and 28, 1987 and yielded the following results:
o Of the 42 motorists that were leaving the Sheraton Sand Key
and traveling south, 16 responded that they were traveling to
destinations south of Walsingham Road. Twelve of the res-
pondents stated they were going to Indian Rocks Beach or
Crabby Bills Restaurant. Only four were traveling to sites
below Indian Rocks Beach.
o Of the 80 motorists that were entering the Sheraton Sand Key
from origins south of the site, eight stated they were
arriving from locations south of Walsingham Road. Five of
the respondents stated they were coming from Indian Rocks
Beach.
The distribution included in the ADA showed that 114 project
vehicles traveled south of Walsingham Road and did not track these
vehicles beyond the intersection of Gulf Boulevard and Walsingham
Road. The attached revised 1997 Project Trip Distribution extends
the study area to the south in order to better display project
traffi c.
From this distribution, based on the origin-destination study,
Tables 1 & 2 were prepared. These tables display for the
additional links the same information that Table 2A of the ADA
displayed.
Based on this more detailed analysis, the only roadway link that
the p~oject impacts will be Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham Road
and 4th Avenue.
MITIGATION TECHNIQUES
In order to reduce the number of trips generated by the facility on
both a daily and a peak hour basis, the Sheraton Sank Key will enact
several new policies and programs. These policies and their impact on
traffic are discussed below.
o Employee Shuttle
In order to reduce the number of employee trips from the project,
the hotel will operate a shuttle between the Indian Rocks Beach
area and the hotel. This shuttle will operate on a regular basis
to carry employees between the hotel and their cars.
Data collection by the hotel determined that almost 13 percent of
the hotel staff complete their work and leave the hotel between
5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Since work shifts are set by the hotel, this
is a percentage that can be maintained by hotel m6nagement. Using
the same distribution of traffic presented in the ADA, there will
be 43 southbound employee trips on Gulf Boulevard between
1-26

Walsingham and 4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour at project
build-out. These 43 employee trips will be removed from the
roadway network and replaced with two trips of the shuttle for a
reduction of 41 trips on the roadway link.
o Parlor Car Service for Guests
The Sheraton Sand Key proposes to operate a regularly scheduled
shuttle (parlor car) service between the hotel and desired guest
destinations to the south during P.M. peak and evening hours. The
fixed travel route will be southward since the Clearwater Trolley
takes guests from the hotel to Clearwater Beach. The shuttle
vehicle will be a custom designed luxury vehicle. Schedules will
be established to meet the needs of guests. making this an
attractive and convenient alternative to driving.
From the analysis in the ADA, it was estimated that there would be
83 total southbound trips to Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham and
4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour. Since 43 of these trips
will be employees, as was previously calculated, there will be 40
trips by guests.
From a survey of guests conducted by the Sheraton Sand Key during
March, 1988, it was found that approximately 85 percent of the
guests would use the shuttle vehicle to reach their destinations.
Replacing 85 percent of the vehicle trips with two shuttle trips
would reduce the project traffic on the Gulf Boulevard link by an
additional 34 vehicle trips.
o Other Mitigation Techniques
In order to reduce building costs and reduce traffic to the
Sheraton Sand Key, the hotel proposes to relocate its laundry and
bakery to the mainland. This will eliminate both employee and
service vehicle trips that are related to these services. This
trip reduction will not be strongly related to a peak hour, but
will serve to reduce the total trips generated by the facility
throughout the day. It is anticipated that the relocation of
support services will result in the reduction of emp~oyee trips
and service vehicle trips.
3. IT IS REQUESTED THAT PROPOSALS FOR PIPELINING SHALL BE SUBMITTED
PRIOR TO THE DETERMINATION OF SUFFICIENCY. FAIR-SHARE CALCULA-
TIONS MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS'
RULE AND REGIONAL POLICY, WITH REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE TAMPA
BAY REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION STAFF PRIOR TO PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE.
The applicant will not employ the Pipeline Option to mitigate
transportation impacts.

4. THE TRAFFIC INFORMATION PROVIDED ANALYZES THE EFFECTS OF PROJECT
TRAFFIC RESULTING FROM THIS DRI AT TWO EXISTING DRIVEWAYS TO THE
SHERATON SAND KEY RESORT. THE ANALYSIS PROVIDED REVIEWS THE NEW
TRAFFIC VOLUMES BUT IGNORES THE EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES THAT WILL
RESULT FROM THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AT THE SHERATON RESORT.
PLEASE REVIEW THE ANALYSIS TO INCLUDE AS BACKGROUND TRAFFIC THE
OTHER TRAFFIC COMING FROM EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AT THE SHERATON
SAND KEY RESORT TURNING IN AND OUT OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH SHERATON
DRIVES ONTO GULF BOULEVARD.
Two new driveways will be constructed as part of the expansion to
the hotel. Details will be worked out with the City of Clearwater
regarding pedestrian and service vehicle access between the
existing and expansion properties. The analyses provided in the
ADA examined the operation of those driveways. It is not
anticipated that a large number of vehicles from the existing
facility will use the new drivewayst nor was an analysis of the
existing driveways deemed necessary since they are not of regional
significance.
5. THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND ALIGNMENT IDENTIFIED FOR THE GULFVIEW
BOULEVARD AT CORONADO STREET INTERSECTION APPEAR QUESTIONABLE.
THIS INTERSECTION IS A T-TYPE INTERSECTION WITH GULFVIEW BOULEVARD
RUNNING EAST/WEST AND CORONADO STREET RUNNING NORTH FROM THE
INTERSECTION. TRAFFIC VOLUMES IN EXHIBIT 31-2 AND EXHIBIT 31-7
APPEAR QUESTIONABLE. PLEASE VERIFY THE GEOMETRY OF THIS INTER-
SECTION AND TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND REVISE ANY ANALYSIS AS NEEDED.
The geometry of the intersection is correct as shown in the ADA.
The traffic volumes included in the ADA are based on a turning
movement count conducted by the City of Clearwater on October 24,
1985. The count was seasonally adjusted and increased by an
annual growth factor to obtain 1987 volumes.
6. THE DIRECTIONAL PEAK HOUR LINK CAPACITIES AS INDICATED IN THE
ROADWAY LINK ANALYSIS ON TABLE 31-2A ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE
GENERALIZED PEAK HOUR CAPACITY AS INDICATED IN TABLE 14 PROVIDED
AS THE LAST PAGE OF THE DRI/ADA WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE FOR DETERMIN-
ING LINK CAPACITIES ON A GENERALIZED BASIS OR THE NEW HOURLY AND
PEAK DIRECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE TABLES DEVELOPED BY THE BUREAU OF
MULTIMODEL SYSTEMS PLANNINGt FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONt
1987t COULD BE USED FOR GENERALIZED LINK ANALYSIS. IN LIEU OF
THESE A MORE DETAILED LINK ANALYSIS COULD BE PROVIDED. PLEASE
REVISE THE ANALYSIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN ACCEPTABLE PROCEDURE.
The attached table lists the source for each of the capacities
used in the ADA. As agreed upon at the Traffic Methodology
meeting, the capacities are based on either the UTPS capacity
table or the FOOT Generalized Daily Capacity table. For the Daily
capacity tables, the listed capacity was multiplied by 0.05
(assuming a K of .1 and a 0 of 0.5) to determine a peak hour
capacity. This study was done prior to the distribution of the
new FOOT tables.

FOOT, PINELLAS COUNTY MPO AND PSTA COMMENTS
1. IMPROVEMENTS TO SR 699 (REFERENCE IWPI7117007) HAVE NOT BEEN
PROGRAMMED; THEY ARE MERELY UNDER CONSIDERATION. NO CONSTRUCTION
DOLLARS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR THIS PROJECT IN THE FOOT FIVE-YEAR
WORK PROGRAM. A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE PROJECT BY FOOT IS
NEEDED. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ANALYSIS AS NECESSARY.
Programmed improvements to Gulf Boulevard (SR 699) are part of the
adopted Pinellas County Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP-Oct. 1987). Construction as 2 lane divided facilities are
programmed for Gulf Boulevard, from Indian Rocks to Clearwater
Pass (WIH1014), and from 5th Avenue to 28th Avenue (WIH1065).
2. PLEASE CLEARLY INDICATE ALL STATE ROADS IN THE TEXT AND ON ALL
GRAPHICS.
Exhibit 31-1 from the ADA has been revised to indicate all State
roadways and is included in this document as Exhibit 12 in Section
4.
3. ON PAGE 31-8 OF THE ADA, THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
(TIP) IS INCORRECTLY DATED 1988/89 THROUGH 1993/94. IT SHOULD BE
DATED 1987/88 THROUGH 1992/93.
This correction has been noted.
4. SR 60 IS NOT A SIX-LANE FACILITY FOR THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE
SECTION INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS. DOES YOUR ANALYSIS INCORPORATE
THE ABOVE CONDITION?
The only segment of SR. 60 included in the analysis is the
Memorial Causeway, Marianne Street and Causeway Boulevard. As
noted in Tables 31-2A, 2B and 2C of the ADA, none of these
roadways was analyzed as a six-lane facility.
5. IF THE APPLICANT HAS INTENTIONS OF RELOCATING OR ESTABLISHING NEW
TURN-AROUND AREAS, PLEASE CONTACT PSTA TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS.
The applicant has no intention of changing an existing turn-around
area. As part of the expansion, it is an~icipated that bus
service to the site may be expanded to include service to the new
section of the facilities. Details will be coordinated with PSTA
when a final site plan has been developed.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT, PURSUANT TO COUNCIL POLICY 19.8.10, F.R.
THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE ADA, EVEN THOUGH IT IS INCOMPLETE,
INDICATES THAT THE FOLLOWING LIST OF TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, AT
MINIMUM, WILL REQUIRE IMPROVEMENTS IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THIS

RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM:
MS. PAULA HARVEY
PLANNING DIRECTOR
CITY OF CLEARWATER
DATED DECEMBER 18. 1987
The following responses are provided consistent with format of Ms.
Harvey's letter to Ms. Suzanne Cooper dated December 18. 1987:
1. THERE ARE TWO (2) MAP "CISII. THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED.
The maps which appeared in the ADA have been revised and
renumbered as Map C-1 and C-2 and enclosed as Exhibit 3-B and 3-C.
2. THE FLOOD PLAIN MAP C IS DEFICIENT IN THAT THE ENTIRE PROJECT SITE
IS NOT ACCURATELY REFLECTED. THE PROJECT SITE RUNS TO THE WATER
AND IN FACT IS PARTIALLY IN THE V-ZONE AS PER PAGE 17-1.
Map C has been revised to reflect the project site extending to
the water line. Please refer to Exhibit 3-C.
3. THE LAND USE AND VEGETATION MAP SHOULD PROPERLY LOCATE THE
EXISTING DUNE SYSTEM. PARTICULARLY FOR THE SUBJECT SITE. PAGE
17-1 REFERS TO THE NATURAL DUNE SYSTEM BEING RECREATED. MAP D
AND F SHOULD REFLECT ITS PRESENT LOCATION.
The present dune system referred to in the ADA is not signifi-
cantly defined. It is a sparse remnant system that has been
referred to in the original report for reference purposes. The
proposed expansion will result in the construction of a uniform
and contiguous vegetated dune line that will far exceed the site
and quality of what now stands in what is referenced as the
present IIdune line." See response to Question 14.2.
4. MAP H REFLECTS A PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THE CITY
OF CLEARWATER WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT OF FINAL REVIEW OF THE
DETAILS OF THE SITE PLAN DURING THE COURSE OF PREPARATION OF AND
APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT ORDER. ISSUES WHICH WILL BE FURTHER
DISCUSSED INCLUDE NUMBER OF DRIVEWAY CUTS ONTO THE PROPERTY. FINAL
LOCATION OF DUNE SYSTEM. CONSTRUCTION SEAWARD OF THE CCCL AND
TRANSFER OF DENSITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE LEVE~ OF EXPANSION. THE
CITY WILL WORK ON A CONTINUING BASIS WITH THE DEVELOPER TO RESOLVE
THESE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Noted.
REGARDING MAP H AS PRESENTED IN THE ADA. A SCALE OF THE DRAWING
WOULD BE HELPFUL TO DETERMINE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON
THE SITE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO DRAWING TO SHOW THE RELATION-
SHIP OF THE EXPANSION AREA TO THE EXISTING SHERATON HOTEL FACILITY.
2-1
Vv aOE:- T flrT',
THIS MUST BE PROVIDED. WE WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE CONFIGURATION
OF DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH BE SHOWN, PARTICULARLY IN CONSIDERATION
OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SEAWARD OF THE CCCL WHICH IS PROPOSED FOR
THIS PROJECT BUT DOESN'T EXIST ELSEWHERE ON THE ISLAND.
Please refer to "Revised Map H" which illustrates the relationship
of the proposed site development to the existing Sheraton Sand Key
Resort Facility.
5. THE FIRE STATION LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN CLEARWATER IS IMPROPERLY
LOCATED ON MAP I.
The location of the downtown Clearwater Fire Station has been
relocated on Revised Map I, Exhibit 3-E.
6. PAGE 14-2, THE APPLICATION SHOULD PROVIDE THE PRESENT BEARING
CAPACITIES OF THE SOILS.
Williams & Associates, Geotechnical Engineers of Clearwater,
performed subsurface explorations at the site of this proposed
project. Soil test borings drilled throughout the property
encountered clean fine sands, clayey fine sands to sandy clays and
the underlying limestone formation. This report detailed the
subsurface conditions and evaluations based on data collected are
discussed at length. In summary, the consultant has concluded
that the upper sands are capable of providing adequate bearing
capacity for the heavy column loads associated with the high rise
structure. However, it was recommended that deep foundation
systems be used due to a potential for post construction settle-
ment of the underlying looser zones. The parking garage, in
contrast, will support a shallow foundation due to the nature of
the structure itself. A soil bearing pressure of 3000 pounds per
square foot was used in evaluating this project and type of
structures involved.
7. WE BELIEVE THE STATEMENT, "AS PROPOSED ;dERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY
550 FT. OF BEACH BETWEEN THE MEAN HIGH WATER LINE AND THE NEAREST
ST~UCTURE,w IS INACCURATE. "BEACH" IMPLIES IT IS OPEN WHEN IN
FACT THE SWIMMING POOL AREA AND DETENTION AREA ARE PROPOSED WITHIN
THE 550 FT. DISTANCE.
Approximately 300 feet of beach lie between the mean high water
line and the nearest structure.
8. WE ARE UNCLEAR AS TO HOW THE NATURAL DUNE SYSTEM IS TO BE
MRECRE/.TED" WHEN IN FACT IT IS BEING TORN DOWN AND REBUILT
ELSEWHERE. OF GREATEST CONCERN IS THE STABILITY OF THE NEW DU~E
SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES SINCE OTHER EXISTING
DUNE SYSTEMS MAY NOT BE WITHIN THE SAME ALIGNMENT OF THOSE CREATED
BY NATURE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE
WILL BE NECESSARY.
There is no natural dune systen an the subject property, nor on
adjacent properties due to the nature of recent accreted landform.

It is likewise important to note that substantial dune formations
are not typical of Sand Key in general due to its relatively low
elevation. The proposed project will result in a low continuous
vegetated dune formation seaward of the upland development with
appropriate pedestrian management constraints such as walkovers,
sand fences, and signage.
9. PAGE 20-2, CLARIFICATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED OF THE 90~ IMPACT TO
THE REGION FOR MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION. ARE ALL MATERIALS
PURCHASED IN THE REGION ACTUALLY MANUFACTURED IN THE REGION? THIS
THOUGHT MAY ACTUALLY RESULT IN A LOWER PERCENTAGE IMPACT TO THE
REGION.
The impact to the region through materials purchased for
construction has been revised to reflect a new total and is
illustrated in Exhibit 4-A. Approximately 50% of the manufactured
construction materials will be obtained from outside the Tampa Bay
region. The revised dollar amount is approximated at $28,563,000,
of which $14,100,000 will be spent locally.
10. PAGE 20-2 - WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OVERHEAD? IT IS ALMOST 50~ OF THE
CONSTRUCTION COST. PLEASE DEFINE.
Revised Table 20-1 (Exhibit 4-A) shows a revised overhead
estimated of $27,190,000 of which $17,705,000 (or 65%) is expected
to directly impact the Tampa Bay Region. Project overhead is
detailed in Exhibit 4-B.
11. PAGE 20-8 INDICATES THERE WILL BE 354 NEW PEAK HOUR TRIPS. PAGE
31-15 INDICATES A DIFFERENT AMOUNT. PLEASE CLARIFY.
As indicated on page 31-15, the expansion of the Sheraton Sand Vey
is projected to generate 600 peak hour trips. It is anticipated
that 354 of those trips will use the Clearwater Pass bridge as
discussed on page 20-8. The project trip distribution is
discussed on page 31-16 of the ADA.
12. PAGE 27-1. THIS SECTION SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECREATION AND
OPEN SPACE ORDINANCES AND FEES TO THE CITY TO FULLY REPORT THE
HOTEL'S CONTRIBUTION IN THIS REGARD.
1) Phase I construction will contain 428 hotel units. Per the
Stipulation Agreement for the subject site, the stipulated
impact fee is $324,126.93.
2) Phase II development will contain 267 condominiums or 322
additional hotel units. (750-428 from Phase 1). These units
are transferred R.D.U. density from the adjoining property to
the north. Construction design and the timetable for this

second phase are indefinite at this time. Based on discus-
sions with the City of Clearwater Planning Departmen~. the
City's Recreation & Open Space Ordinance, Section 116.40 of
the Clearwater Code will determine the impact fees for these
additional units. If developed as residential condominiums,
the Recreation and Open Space impact calculates as follows:
267 X $200/R.D.U, = $53,400
If developed as hotel units, the Recreation and Open Space
impact calculates to one-fourth the R.D.U. impact (4 hotel
units = 1 R.D.U.) times 322 hotel units, as follows:
322 X $200/4 = $16,100
13. EXHIBIT 31-2, WHY IS THERE A 40% INCREASE IN TRAFFIC COUNTS GOING
WESTWARD FROM ISLAND WAY TO POINSETTIA ON MEMORIAL CAUSEWAY. WE
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE INCREASED TRAFFIC CAME FROM SINCE THERE
ARE NO INTERSECTIONS OR DEVELOPMENTS TO ADD TO THE TRAFFIC.
The difference in traffic volumes is likely due to the different
sources of the counts. The count at Poinsettia was conducted by
the City of Clearwater on November 6, 1985. The count at Island
Way was conducted by Wade-Trim on October 1, 1987. Differences in
the day of count, weather or several other factors could lead to
the variance in volumes.
14. TABLE 31-1, MANDALAY AVENUE FROM CAUSEWAY BOULEVARD TO PAPAYA IS
FOUR (4) LANE UNDIVIDED, NOT TWO (2) LANE UNDIVIDED.
This change has been noted. As a result of this revision, the
level of service on this link is LOS B, not LOS E as stated in the
ADA. Similar results occur on Table 31-2A, 28 and 2C.
15. EXHIBIT 31-3. WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AT
CAUSEWAY BOULEVARD AND CORONADO IS "AU OR THAT LOS AT GULFVIEW AND
CORONADO IS MBM. HOW WAS THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE DETERMINED?
The level of service was determined using the Critical Movement
Analysis computer software. This software analyzes traffic
volumes, lane geometries, signal phasing and various other factors
to determine a level of service. It must be noted that this was
an analysis of weekday P.M. peak hour conditions, the time of
largest impact of project traffic. It is not necessarily the time
of maximum volumes on the roadway network of a beach, where the
peak periods are on weekends and where they fluctuate daily
depending on weather conditions.
16. EXHIBIT 31-5, REFER TO COMMENT 113 ABOVE. ALSO, ARE THESE NUMBERS
FOR A PEAK PERIOD? PLEASE LABEL EXHIBIT.
A copy of Exhibit 31-5 from the ADA is attached as Exhibit 13.
The P.M. peak hour volume discrepancy discussed in response to
Comment 13 is repeated here.

17. PAGE 31-27, STATEMENT IS PROVIDED THAT PUBLIC TRANSIT IS NOT
HEAVILY USED AT THE HOTEL. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM HOTEL
OFFICIALS THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, PUBLIC TRANSIT IS USED.
PLEASE CLARIFY.
Public transportation is used heavily by Sheraton Sand Key Resort
guests and is a very important part of the guest experience.
Approximately 22% of the 1987 guests were international who use
the buses for shopping trips to Clearwater Beach and the malls.
Only a small percentage of the convention guests rent cars. Con-
versely, most convention guests come by The Limo. When going to
restaurants and quick shopping on the beach these guests use the
trolley during its hours of operation. Also, taxi service is used
in the off hours by convention guests.
The public transportation question is vitally important to meeting
planners and tour operators to the extent that the resort provides
a picture in its sales brochures and video presentations of the
hotel featuring this mode of transportation.
At this time PSTA and the City of Clearwater trolley service enter
the Sheraton Sand Key Resorts. north driveway; stop under the
portico area on the east end of the building; and leave from the
south driveway. It is expected that the same area will be used in
the future.

RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM:
MS. JENNIFER D. MCMURTRAY
REGIONAL BIOLOGIST
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
DIVISION OF RECREATION AND PARKS
DATED DECEMBER 17, 1987
The project site plan has been designed with the intent to minimize
light visible to the loggerhead sea turtles. Facilities such as the
swimming pool t and parking lot have been located with the loggerhead
hatchlings in mind. Hotel lighting will not directly illuminate areas
seaward of the dunes. Indirect lighting which may be visible from the
beach will be shielded by landscaping and the created sand dunes.
Security or floodlights will be limited to the fewest number necessary.
These will also be shielded by the aforementioned barriers. As stated
in the ADA dune walkover lighting will be foot-lights or appropriately
shieldedt and there will be no evening construction during the nesting
season which requires beach lighting. The project landscape architect
has been furnished with a copy of the publication Sea Turtle Hatchling
Disorientation and Artificial Beachfront Lighting by Paul Raymondt and
instructed to incorporate those guidelines wherever possible.
Thereforet it appears potential light reaching the beach will be
eliminated.
If heavy beach cleaning equipment is required during the nesting
seasont it will be limited to the mean high water line or below.
Light rakes will be used above the mean high water line where turtle
nests may be located. All beach cleaning equipment will be excluded
from a 10 foot radius around each nest.
As stated in the ADAt a qualified agency or individual will be engaged
to survey the beach as required during the nesting season. Identified
nests will be stakedt or marked by a means to be determined by the
contractort and posted with approved FDNR signs.
In addition to the measures listed abovet the Sheraton has committed
to incorporating a permanent 1200 square foot sea turtle hatchery as
part of their new beachscape in an effort to further aid in the
protection of loggerhead sea turtles.
The applicant has worked closely with representatives of FDNR's Bureau
of Marine Research and the Clearwater Marine Science Center in devel-
oping procedures to adequately protect loggerhead sea turtles. It is
believed that the measures identified in the ADA as well as those
listed above will mitigate potential impacts and adequately protect
loggerhad sea turtles at the proposed project site.

RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM:
MR. CARLOS R. CARRERO
ENGINEER
BUREAU OF COASTAL ENGINEERING AND REGULATION
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
DATED DECEMBER 16, 1987
It is understood that all construction will be in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 161.053 F.S. and Chapter 16B-33 F.A.C.
f. Existing vegetation on site consists of disturbed coastal strand
uplands. Establishment of a vegetated dune system along with
appropriate landscaping will mitigate for the removal of the
existing vegetation and disturbed remnants of a secondary dune
system.
5) MAP G, MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN, IS SUGGESTED TO BE MODIFIED TO:
A) ELIMINATE THE PROPOSED SPILLWAY ON RETENTION BASIN WHICH
DISCHARGES ONTO THE OPEN BEACH.
B) STAFF SUGGESTS STORMWATERS BE FORCE PUMPED OR DIVERTED TO
STREET DRAINAGE SYSTEM, OR RELOCATION OF THE RETENTION POND TO
A FAR LANDWARD LOCATION. AS PROPOSED, THE RETENTION POND IS
CONSIDERED VULNERABLE AND OTHER OPTIONS FOR A LANDWARD SITING
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
C) PAGE 15-2, WATER QUALITY - RUNOFF WATERS MAY CONTAIN GASOLINE,
OIL, AND ASPHALT PARTICULATES TO BE DISCHARGED ON THE ACTIVE
BEACH AREA THROUGH THE RETENTION POND. OF COURSE, THIS IS A
MATTER FOR DER.
This drainage design concept has been approved by the City of
Clearwater including the retention/detention pond location.
Runoff waters will be treated through natural percolation and
filtration system or both. The oil skimmer will be provided at
inlet and/or outfall control structure.
A Certified copy of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code
were mailed to Mr. Carrero simultaneously with the submittal of
this Sufficiency Resonse.

Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Mai:
Your letter concerning the City of Clearwater's ability to
provide refuse collection and disposal to the proposed
development of Sheraton Sand Key Resort Expansion was forwarded
to my office on November 13, 1987.
I have reviewed the proposed solid waste requirements and the
City of Clearwater, Utilities Department, Sanitation Division
will be able to dispose of the 7.7 cubic yards of solid waste you
propose will be generated by that development each day.
If I can be of further help, please feel free to call on me.
Your~ very truly,

T~an~ you for your letter concerning the proposed
expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key Resort.
The City of Clearwater has a four-inch high-pressure gas
main on Glllf Bnulevard that currently serves the
Sheraton. This gas main has ample volume to meet all
future natural gas requirements of the Sheraton Sand Key
Resort and its proposed expansion.

Dear Ms. prinse:
As a follow-up to my prior letter of January 26, 1988
concerning the proposed expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key
Resort, I wish to inform you of additional information with
regard to the requirement for additional police personnel which
was not available at the time of my original letter.
I am pleased to announce that subsequent to January of 1988,
the City of Clearwater now has an operational police sub-station
located on the south end of Clearwater Beach with sufficient
manpower at the present time to deal with providing police
service to Sand Key which I do not feel will be specifically
impacted by the expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key Resort.
Rather, my initial comments in the letter of January 26, 1988
were directed at the total building expansion on Sand Key that I
feel is going to impact the requirement for the expansion of
police services in the future. Please contact me if you need any
further clarification with regards to my position on this matter.
Sincerely,

An additional section of this Sufficiency Response is provided to
further clarify questions raised by the review agencies and response
by the applicant concerning the option of developing the second tower
for 267 residential condominium units as opposed to 322 hotel suites.
As noted earlier in this Sufficiency Response, a Settlement Stipula-
tion, Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7, provides for the development of
either hotel or residential uses on the property. Recognizing that
this option is available, the following supplemental information to
the DRI/ADA is provided to identify the impacts/demands of the
alternate use (i .e. residential condominium) upon the regional roadway
system and other applicable facilities and services provided by the
City of Clearwater.
Please refer to the attached tables 21-1, 23-1, 24-1 and 25-1 which
reflect consumption/demand for sanitary sewer, potable water, solid
waste and energy. Commitment letters have been received and included
in this Sufficiency Response for each facility type/service.
Recognizing that the option of constructing the second tower as
residential condominiums will require less natural gas than the first
option, additional correspondence from the Utilities Department of the
City of Clearwater is not required.

QUESTION 31 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES:
TRANSPORTATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following additional data are presented to illustrate the impacts
of developing Tower 2 for 267 residential condominium units as opposed
to 322 hotel suites as provided for in the previously referenced Civil
Court Settlement Stipulation.
As outlined in the ADA, the development of Towers 1 & 2 as hotel
suites generates the following peak hour trips:
o 750 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 600 Trips
The PM peak hour trip generation for Towers 1 & 2 hotel and condomin-
ium is as follows:
o 428 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 342
o 267 Condos X 0.51 trips/Condo = 136
478 Trips
The attached tables illustrate the roadway link (i .e. Gulf Boulevard
from Walsingham to 4th Avenue) impacted by the proposed development
based on the two development alternates. Further, Exhibit 31-6 is
provided to graphically illustrate project trip distribution at Gulf
Boulevard and 4th Avenue.
The origin-destination survey conducted by Wade-Trim in preparing the
ADA submittal was conducted between 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on September 22,
24 and 28, 1987 and yielded the following results:
o Of the 42 motorists that were leaving the Sheraton Sand Key
and traveling south, 15 responded that they were traveling to
destinations south of Walsingham Road. Twelve of the respon-
dents stated they were going to Indian Rocks Beach or Crabby
Bills Restaurant. Only four were traveling to sites below
Indian Rocks Beach.
o Of the 80 motorists that were entering the Sheraton Sand Key
from origins south of the site, eight stated they were
arriving from locations south of Walsingham Road. Five of
the respondents stated they were coming from Indian Rocks
Be ach.
The distribution included in the ADA showed that 114 project vehicles
traveled south of Walsingham Road and did not track what those
vehicles did beyond the intersection of Gulf Boulevard and Walsingham
Road. The attached revised 1997 Project Trip Distribution extends the
study area to the south in order to better display project traffic.

From this distribution, based on the origin-destination study, Tables
1 & 2 were prepared. These tables display for the additional links
the same information that Table 2A of the ADA displayed.
Based on this more detailed analysis, the only roadway link that the
project impacts will be Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham Road and 4th
Avenue. The costs to improve this link are estimated to be:
IMPACT FEE
750 rooms x $589/room = $441,750
428 rooms x $589/room = $252,092
267 condo x $454/room = $121,218 = $373,310
DCA RULE t~~o- _(~ig)773) x ($371,512 x 1.18)* x (0.1)** = $17,848.50
* Cost based on FDOT 1987 Cost Per Mile Table (Oct. 22, 1987) with
18% allowance for purchase of right-of-way
** Length of link is approximately 400' = 0.1 mile
The developer's Fair Share contribution of $17,848.50. based upon the
impacts of the project upon the 400' link of Gulf Boulevard between
Walsingham and 4th Avenue, is considerably less than the exactions for
compliance with Pinellas County's Transportation Impact Fee.
In an effort to reduce the impact on the roadway network of the
additional 750 rooms, the Sheraton Sand Key is proposing to reduce the
number of trips generated by the hotel through the use of transporta-
tion system management (TSM) strategies. These strategies will serve
to mitigate the impact of hotel traffic, not through the construction
of additional roadway lanes, but through responsible management
policies of the hotel.
Typically, roadways are designed and built to provide sufficient
capacity for average conditions, estimated by average annual daily
traffic volumes. Likewise, the hotel should be examined during
average conditions and should not be required to mitigate the impact
of conditions when it is 100 percent occupied as this is not the
average condition. In the Sheraton Sand Key Resort's area there are
seven (7) hotel properties which due to both proximity and market
served are considered primary competitors. To illustrate the
appropriateness of utilizing a 73% occupancy rate for the Sheraton
Sand Key Resort, please refer to the following Table which compares
Sheraton's facility with other area hotels.

Therefore, this analysis amends Table 31-2B in the original
Application for Development Approval (ADA) and is based on the fact
that the estimated annual occupancy rate for the Sheraton Sand Key is
73 percent as illustrated in this section.
MITIGATION TECHNIQUES
In order to reduce the number of trips generated by the facility on
both a daily and a peak hour basis, the Sheraton Sank Key will enact
several new policies and programs. These policies and their impact on
traffic are discussed below.
o Employee Shuttle
In order to reduce the number of employee trips from the project,
the hotel will operate a shuttle between the Indian Rocks Beach
area a~d the hotel. This shuttle will operate on a regular basis
to carry employees between the hotel and their cars.
Data collection by the hotel determined that almost 13 percent of
the hotel staff complete their work and leave the hotel between
5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Since work shifts are set by the hotel, this
is a percentage that can be maintained by hotel management. Using
the same distribution of traffic presented in the ADA, there will
be 43 southbound employee trips on Gulf Boulevard between
Wals;ngham and 4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour at project
build-out. These 43 employee trips will be removed from the
roadway network and replaced with two trips of the shuttle for a
reduction of 41 trips on the roadway link.
o Parlor Car Service for Guests
The Sheraton Sand Key proposes to operate a regularly scheduled
shuttle (parlor car) service between the hotel and desired guest
destinations to the south during P.M. peak and evening hours. The
fixed travel route will be southward since the Clearwater Trolley

takes guests from the hotel to Clearwater Beach. The shuttle
vehicle will be a custom designed luxury vehicle. Schedules will
be established to meet the needs of guests, making this an
attractive and convenient alternative to driving.
From the analysis in the ADA, it was estimated that there would be
83 total southbound trips to Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham and
4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour. Since 43 of these trips
will be employees. as was previously calculated, there will be 40
tri ps by guests.
From a survey of guests conducted by the Sheraton Sand Key during
March, 1988, it was found that approximately 85 percent of the
guests would use the shuttle vehicle to reach their destinations.
Replacing 85 percent of the vehicle trips with two shuttle trips
would reduce the project traffic on the Gulf Boulevard link by an
additional 34 vehicle trips.
o Other Mitigation Techniques
In order to reduce building costs and reduce traffic to the
Sheraton Sand Key, the hotel proposes to relocate its laundry and
bakery to the mainland. This will eliminate both employee and
service vehicle trips that are related to these services. This
trip reduction will not be strongly related to a peak hour, but
will serve to reduce the total trips generated by the facility
throughout the day. It;s anticipated that the relocation of
support services will result in the reduction of employee trips
and service vehicle trips.
L ink An a 1 y s i s
In the ADA, the only roadway link that operated at an unacceptable
level of service, and on which project traffic was greater than five
percent of the link capacity, was Gulf Boulevard between Wals;ngham
and 4th Avenue. On the link, project traffic comprised 13.0 percent
of the roadway capacity.
In summary, through the proposed TSM mitigation techniques, project
traffic on that link during the P.M. peak hour has been reduced from
83 vehicles to 8 vehicles and project traffic will comprise only 1.1
percent of the roadway capacity, indicating that no further measures
beyond those previously identified will be required of the Sheraton
Sand Key.

Dear Ms. Cooper:
On behalf of Grand Couloir Corporation, Wade-Trim is pleased to submit
this Sufficiency Response (SR) for The Sheraton Sand Key Resort
Expansion Development of Regional Impact.
Because of the fact that the stipulations in the recent court
decisions allowing the construction of residential and hotel units
appeared to be of concern, we have calculated the impacts that would
be created if the second tower were built as a residential property.
The results of this analysis are included in the response under
Section 5 headed "Alternate Residential Use."
A total of 32 copies have been delivered to all individuals listed on
the attached Sufficiency Response transmittal list. If additional
copies are required or any supplemental information is needed, please
do not hesitate to contact me or Mr. Dave Gildersleeve of our staff.

sea turtle nests found on the Sheraton beach. This activity
will begin May 1 and continue through the end of nesting
season, November 1.
- Mechanized beach cleaning will occur only after the daily
nesting surveys. Cleaning equipment will avoid identified
nests.
- Dunes will be created and vegetated on the existing Sheraton
property as well as the expansion property. FDNR personnel
will be consulted concerning dune construction. Two dune
walkovers will be incorporated into the dune system. This
measure will serve to create the natural dune system as well as
conceal artificial lighting visible from the beach.
- Dune walkover lighting will be footlights or appropriately
shielded low frequency lighting. The site plan is being
designed to minimize light visible to hatchlings.
- Any construction requiring exterior lighting during the nesting
season (May 1 - November 1) will be limited to daylight hours.

B. ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
QUESTION 13 - AIR
1. IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO SUBMIT AN AIR
QUALITY IMPACT ANALYSIS AFTER THE FINALIZATION OF TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
AND DURING SUFFICIENCY REVIEW.
As noted in the Transportation Section of the ADA and this
Sufficiency Response, the proposed development results in a
negligible impact on area roadways. Because of this negligible
impact, an Air Quality Impact Analysis is not deemed necessary by
either the applicant or regional review agency.
2. WHERE IS THE CLOSEST AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATION IN RELATION TO
THE SUBJECT SITE?
The closest air monitoring station to the subject site is located
at the Pinellas County Sheriffs Department, 250 West Ulmerton
Road. This station monitors for total suspended particulates
(TSP), carbon monoxide (CO), and lead (Pb).
3. WHEN AN APPLICANT PROPOSES TO UTILIZE THE PIPELINE OPTION FOR
TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION, AIR QUALITY MODELLING SHALL BE BASED
UPON PARAMETERS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OPTION. AIR QUALITY
MODELLING SHALL NOT BE BASED ON THE IMPROVED ROADWAY NETWORK SET
FORTH IN RESPONSE TO QUESTION 31.F OF THE ADA, UNLESS FUNDING
COMMITMENTS BY A RESPONSIBLE ENTITY ARE CONFIRMED.
Please refer to Question 13-1 above. The applicant will not
employ the Pipeline Option to mitigate transportation impacts.

QUESTION 14 - LAND
1. WHAT HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE LAND ACCRETION IN THE PROJECT AREA?
IS THIS TREND LIKELY TO CONTINUE, CEASE OR POSSIBLY REVERSE
ITSELF?
The cause of accretion of the shoreline seaward of the project
under consideration is due primarily to the stabilization of
Clearwater Pass in 1975. The construction of the rock jetty along
the northern end of Sand Key has resulted in the impoundment of
substantial quantities of sand to the south of the Pass through
the formation of an extremely large accretion fillet. The source
of sand presently residing in the accretion fillet has been both
natural and man-induced. Sand dredged from the Pass by the City
was placed south of the jetty on the County Park property in 1975.
Several dredge disposal operations at the same location have like-
wise been constructed by the Corps of Engineers. Beginning;n
1983, construction of a beach fill project along approximately
7,000 feet of shoreline was instigated. A substantial portion of
that project fill has subsequently been impounded by the
Clearwater Pass south jetty.
The result of this process has been the rapid and continued
seaward propagation of the shoreline seaward of the Sheraton
project. As of 12/21/87 the Mean High Water Line (MHWL) was an
average of 619 feet seaward of the CCCL on the Sheraton property.
Accretion at this location is expected to continue to occur.
Although the process could be expected to ultimately stabilize,
there is no reason to believe that any significant MHWL recession
will occur in the future. Both storm effects and future beach
fill projects will tend to result in future accretion at the
project site.
2. HOW WILL THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AFFECT BEACH
CONFIGURATION IN TERMS OF SAND TRANSFER ALONG THE DUNE LINE?
The proposed project will not adversely affect beach configuration
due to impacts of sand transfer along the dunel;ne. There is
presently no defined duneline along the subject property. The
project under consideration will result in the construction of a
uniform and continuous vegetated dune formation.
3. WHAT SPECIFIC MEASURES WILL BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT SOIL EROSION
DURING AND AFTER CONSTRUCTION?
To prevent soil erosion during and after construction hay bales
and sediment traps will be implemented. The area surrounding new
construction will be landscaped as soon as practical.

QUESTION 17 - FLOODPLAINS
1. PLEASE CLARIFY THE TIMING OF THE APPLICATION TO THE FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR PROJECT CONSTRUCTION LOCATED
SEAWARD OF THE COASTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTROL LINE.
A CCCL application has been filed and is running concurrently with
the DRI process. Preconstruction meetings have been held with the
Division of Beaches and Shores and DNR, pertaining to the permit
submittal requirements and the advance submittal of a 30-year
Seasonal High Water Line Survey (SHWL). The latter was forwarded
to the Agency on December 29, 1987 for its advance acceptance and
filing relative to the pending permit submittal.
2. PLEASE CLARIFY THE CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS WHICH WILL BE
INCORPORATED INTO PROJECT DESIGN TO PROTECT THE PROJECT FROM STORM
SURGE AND SCOURING. WHAT SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN FEATURES WILL
BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PROJECT WHICH EXCEED THE MINIMUM
PERMITTABLE BY LAW OR RULE?
By virtue of the proposed project's footprint being partially
seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, the entire major
habitable structure will be constructed in accordance with the
design standards required by Chapter 161.053 F.S. and Chapter
16B-33 F.A.C. for construction seaward of the CCCL. These
standards exceed local standards required for construction
landward of the CCCL.
3. PLEASE SEND TBRPC AND THE CITY OF CLEARWATER A COPY OF THE
HURRICANE EVACUATION PROPOSAL, WHICH HAS BEEN SUPPLIED TO PINELLAS
COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
The Sheraton does not have a documented hurricane evacuation
proposal. However, as in the past, the hotel will follow all
instructions established by the City of Clearwater.
The following is a synopsis of procedures followed during past
evacuations. After verification of the evacuation order by the
Clearwater Police Department, all guests are instructed to leave
the facilities by the Belleair Causeway and to seek hotel accommo-
dations inland, or to go to designated P;nellas County shelters.
For guests needing transportation to evacuate, school buses are
provided under the direction of the Clearwater Police and Fire
Departments. Employees evacuate following the same instructions.
After the evacuation order is given the property is secured for
the prevention of any damage. A member of the Sheraton executive
team is in command at all times.

QUESTION 18 - VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE
1. PLEASE PROVIDE MAP F SHOWING VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS ON-SITE.
Map F provided in the ADA is a combined Map D & F. The vegetation
cover was classified as FLUCCS category 322, Coastal Scrub. This
scrub category represents a conglomeration of species found in the
coastal zone. This cover type is generally found in dune and
white sand areas. Commonly found species in this category include
sea purslane, sea grape, sea oats, bay bean, spanish bayonet and
prickley pear. The land proposed for expansion is, for the most
part, vacant land that exhibits several of the above varieties of
plants in small quantities along with other varieties of grasses,
weeds, and sandspurs.
2. PLEASE PROVIDE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CREATE AND -REVEGETATE"
THE DUNE SYSTEM.
The present dune system referred to in the ADA is not signifi-
cantly defined. It is a sparse remnant system that has been
referred to in the original report for reference purposes. As
reflected on Map H (revised) the proposed expansion will result in
the construction of a uniform and contiguous vegetated duneline
that will far exceed the size and quality of what now stands in
what is referred to as the present "dune line."
3. THE TIME OF YEAR IN WHICH THE BIOLOGICAL SURVEY IS CONDUCTED IS
CRITICAL IN DETECTING CERTAIN ENDANGERED OR THREATENED SPECIES.
WHAT METHODS WERE USED AND ON WHAT DATES WERE SURVEYS CONDUCTED TO
ENUMERATE THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE SITE?
A qualitative pedestrian survey was conducted on November 6, 1987
with Mr. Alan Huff of FDNR, Mr. Dennis Kellenberger of the
Clearwater Marine Science Center, Mr. Jack Dronzek of Grand
Couloir Corporation, Mr. Douglas Robison and Ms. Tammy Lyons of
Wade-Trim, Inc. It was the consensus of the reviewing parties
that no significant vegetation or habitat for species other than
the loggerhead sea turtle was present on the site.
4. PLEASE PREPARE A MAP WHICH INDICATES THE PORTIONS OF THIS PROJECT
SITE WHICH HISTORICALLY MEET THE DEFINITION OF PRESERVATION AREAS,
AS DEFINED IN THE COUNCIL'S ADOPTED GROWTH POLICY, FUTURE OF THE
REGION, SECTIONS 10.1.2 AND 10.3.1.
Council growth policies 10.1.2 and 10.3.1 define conservation and
preservation areas as coastal marshes, mangrove forests, marine
grass beds and significant sand dunes, respectively. The proposed
hotel expansion will not encroach upon or otherwise impact any of
those systems. The remnant sand dunes existing on site are dis-
turbed and not significant. Therefore no map is provided.

C. ECONOMY
QUESTION 20 - ECONOMY
1. IT IS UNCLEAR FROM TABLE 20-1 AS TO HOW THE CONSTRUCTION
EMPLOYMENT TOTAL (331) WAS DERIVED. PLEASE PROVIDE THE
METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEES.
The estimate of the number of construction employees to be
utilized on the project was derived by projecting a construction
time schedule for both phases, by trade, and imputing the number
of employees for each trade by construction sequence.
2. THE TABLES THAT APPEAR ON PAGES 20-4 AND 20-5 ARE NOT NUMBERED.
ALTHOUGH THE TABLE WHICH APPEARS ON THE TOP OF PAGE 20-4 DOES
ILLUSTRATE SALARY RANGES, THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE ESTIMATED
ANNUAL PAYROLL. PLEASE PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY
THE ADA.
The tables that appear as "Table 20-2, Estimated Annual Payroll -
Normal and High Season Permanent Employees" and "Table 20-3,
Estimated Annual Payroll - Construction Personnel" have been
revised and are attached as Exhibit 4A, 4B and 4C.
3. THE ANORMAL SEASON" AND "HIGH SEASONII PERSONNEL FIGURES SHOWN IN
PAGE 20-4 APPEARS TO INDICATE THAT THE NUMBER OF PERMANENT
EMPLOYEES WILL VARY SEASONALLY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO NARRATIVE
PROVIDED TO THIS EFFECT. PLEASE ADDRESS THE METHODOLOGY USED TO
DETERMINE THAT THE "NORMAL SEASON" WOULD REQUIRE 419 EMPLOYEES AND
THE "HIGH SEASONII WOULD REQUIRE 549 EMPLOYEES.
As the tourist trade throughout the State of Florida experiences
an ebb and flow of visitors to the state, related facilities
dependent on the tourist market also experience seasonality in
their business volumes. Consequently, additional personnel are
required to service the added client numbers throughout the winter
months and are reduced through the typically slower summer season.
The method used in forecasting the personnel figures for the
Sheraton Sand Key expansion is based on 13 years experience of the
present Sheraton Sand Key Resort. The high season will be
February through April, while the balance of the months are
"normal season". The fluctuation is usually due to the banquet
department personnel that handle conventions and meetings.

4. THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS (ITE) TRIP GENERATION
MANUAL INDICATES THAT A HOTEL WILL EMPLOY, ON AVERAGE, 0.90
EMPLOYEES PER ROOM. THE 419 TO 549 PERMANENT EMPLOYEES PROJECTED
BY THE APPLICANT APPEARS TO BE TOO CONSERVATIVE. PLEASE JUSTIFY
THE EMPLOYMENT FIGURE.
The method used in forecasting the employment level is based on
the present 390 rooms that the Sheraton Sand Key Resort has
operated for the past 13 years. The pa~t experience of employment
level runs from 280 to 325 personnel or a"pproximately 0.77
employee's per room. The proposed Sheraton Sand Key expansion
will enjoy some efficiencies in using some personnel from the
existing facility (i.e. desk, maintenance, kitchen personnel,
etc. ) .
5. PLEASE ESTIMATE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE PERMANENT EMPLOYEES WILL BE
FOUND WITHIN THE TAMPA BAY REGION.
To clarify, it would be accurate to state that approximately 95%
of the permanent employees will be found within the Tampa Bay
region.
6. PLEASE PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF THE ABSORPTION RATE OF HOTEL ROOMS,
PER ANNUM, IN THE SHERATON SAND KEY AREA.
Current estimates of the absorption rates of hotel rooms in the

QUESTION 22 - DRAINAGE
1. UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WIll THE DETENTION POND BE FIllED TO
THREE FEET OF DEPTH? WHAT SAFETY MEASURES WIll BE EMPLOYED TO
RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE AREA, DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH?
The retention/detention pond will be designed to contain the
runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour storm event for post-development
conditions while limiting peak discharge rates to the 25-year
event under existing conditions in accordance with SWFWMD 400-4
Regulations and City of Clearwater Storm Drainage Design Criteria.
Therefore, the pond will be at +4.5 elevation with a maximum of 2'
depth. The developer will meet all applicable design and safety
measures required by the City of Clearwater.
2. HOW WIll THE DETENTION AREA BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DUNE SYSTEM?
HOW WIll THE OUTFLOW STRUCTURE BE DESIGNED TO PREVENT EROSION,
SCOUR AND WASHOUTS?
The dune system is part of the detention pond's perimeter. Solid
sod will be utilized to prevent erosion. Decorative r;prap will
be installed if required.

QUESTION 27 - RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
1. PLEASE CLARIFY WHICH RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, INCLUDING THOSE
DESIGNATED FOR PASSIVE RECREATION, WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
All recreational facilities lying landward of the proposed dune
system will be provided for the use of hotel guests and residents.
Existing and future accreted beach lying seaward of the proposed
dune system will be available to both the general public, hotel
guests and residents.
2. WILL ANY PORTION OF THE PROJECT, INCLUDING BEACH DUNES INFRINGE ON
CURRENT OR HISTORIC LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLE NESTING AREAS?
Sand Key beach has historically been and is currently known to
have nesting loggerhead sea turtles. However, construction of the
project will not occur in the most probable loggerhead nesting
areas. If present, the sea turtles generally nest between the
mean high water line and sand dunes. Construction of hotel
facilities will occur landward of the proposed dunes. Eventually
the minor encroachment will be mitigated by the continued
accretion of new beach.
Creation of a dune system is intended to mitigate possible impacts
to the sea turtles. The turtles frequently nest near the base of
the dune. The creation of the dune system will enhance the
existing beach habitat as well as shield hatchlings from visible
light and will extend around the southwestern edge of the
property.

QUESTION 31 - TRANSPORTATION
TBRPC COMMENTS
1. PLEASE PROVIDE LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE TRANSPORTATION
AGENCIES ATTESTING TO THE EXTENT AND SCHEDULING OF IMPROVEMENTS
INDICATED IN THE ADA IN QUESTION 31-A.
The only planned improvement identified in the study is the
widening of Gulf Boulevard in two locations. A letter from
P;nellas County attesting to these improvements was included as
Exhibit 31-4 of the original ADA.
2. IT IS STATED IN QUESTION 12 THAT AN EQUIVALENT NUMBER OF RESIDEN-
TIAL UNITS, IN TERMS OF TRIP GENERATION, MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR
322 HOTEL SUITES. PAGE 31-15 SAYS -BECAUSE THE PROJECT IS A
HOTEL, IT HAS A DISTRIBUTION OF TRIPS THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE
STANDARD DRI PROJECT." HOW THEN CAN A SUBSTITUTION OF THE ONE
LAND USE FOR ANOTHER BE BASED SIMPLY ON TRIP GENERATION RATES?
As noted earlier in this Sufficiency Response, the Settlement
Stipulation, Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7 provides the option of
constructing either hotel or residential uses on the property. As
outlined in the ADA, the development of Towers 1 and 2 as hotel
suites generates the following peak hour trips:
o 750 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 600 trips
The peak hour trip generation for towers 1 and 2 as hotel and
condominiums is as follows:
o 428 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 342
o 267 Condos X 0.51 trips/condo = 136
478 trips
The attached tables illustrate the roadway link (i.e. Gulf
Boulevard from Walsingham to 4th Avenue) impacted by the proposed
development and assumes the same trip distribution for condomin-
iums and hotel rooms. This distribution is deemed appropriate
given the limited alternatives for distribution of project traffic
in an easterly direction (i.e. via Belleair Causeway and
Wals;ngham Road). It;s anticipated that the distribution of
shopping or work trips which could be associated with the con-
struction of Tower 2 as residential condominiums will not be sig-
nificantly different than those associated with a hotel use.
Additionally, the actual number of peak hour trips would be
reduced as a result of the development of Tower 2 as residential
condominiums. Exhibit 31-6 illustrates the 1997 Project Trip
Distribution at Gulf Boulevard and 4th Avenue.

The origin-destination survey conducted by Wade-Trim in preparing
the original ADA submittal was conducted between 4:00-6:00 p.m. on
September 22, 24 and 28, 1987 and yielded the following results:
o Of the 42 motorists that were leaving the Sheraton Sand Key
and traveling south, 16 responded that they were traveling to
destinations south of Walsingham Road. Twelve of the res-
pondents stated they were going to Indian Rocks Beach or
Crabby Bills Restaurant. Only four were traveling to sites
below Indian Rocks Beach.
o Of the 80 motorists that were entering the Sheraton Sand Key
from origins south of the site, eight stated they were
arriving from locations south of Walsingham Road. Five of
the respondents stated they were coming from Indian Rocks
Beach.
The distribution included in the ADA showed that 114 project
vehicles traveled south of Walsingham Road and did not track these
vehicles beyond the intersection of Gulf Boulevard and Walsingham
Road. The attached revised 1997 Project Trip Distribution extends
the study area to the south in order to better display project
traffic.
From this distribution, based on the origin-destination study,
Tables 1 & 2 were prepared. These tables display for the
additional links the same information that Table 2A of the ADA
displayed.
Based on this more detailed analysis, the only roadway link that
the project impacts will be Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham Road
and 4th Avenue.
MITIGATION TECHNIQUES
In order to reduce the number of trips generated by the facility on
both a daily and a peak hour basis, the Sheraton Sank Key will enact
several new policies and programs. These policies and their impact on
traffic are discussed below.
o Employee Shuttle
In order to reduce the number of employee trips from the project,
the hotel will operate a shuttle between the Indian Rocks Beach
area and the hotel. This shuttle will operate on a regular basis
to carry employees between the hotel and their cars.
Data collection by the hotel determined that almost 13 percent of
the hotel staff complete their work and leave the hotel between
5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Since work shifts are set by the hotel, this
is a percentage that can be maintained by hotel management. Using
the same distribution of traffic presented in the ADA, there will
be 43 southbound employee trips on Gulf Boulevard between
1-26

Walsingham and 4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour at project
build-out. These 43 employee trips will be removed from the
roadway network and replaced with two trips of the shuttle for a
reduction of 41 trips on the roadway link.
o Parlor Car Service for Guests
The Sheraton Sand Key proposes to operate a regularly scheduled
shuttle (parlor car) service between the hotel and desired guest
destinations to the south during P.M. peak and evening hours. The
fixed travel route will be southward since the Clearwater. Trolley
takes guests from the hotel to Clearwater Beach. The shuttle
vehicle will be a custom designed luxury vehicle. Schedules will
be established to meet the needs of guests, making this an
attractive and convenient alternative to driving.
From the analysis in the ADA, it was estimated that there would be
83 total southbound trips to Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham and
4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour. Since 43 of these trips
will be employees, as was previously calculated, there will be 40
trips by guests.
From a survey of guests conducted by the Sheraton Sand Key during
March, 1988, it was found that approximately 85 percent of the
guests would use the shuttle vehicle to reach their destinations.
Replacing 85 percent of the vehicle trips with two shuttle trips
would reduce the project traffic on the Gulf Boulevard link by an
additional 34 vehicle trips.
o Other Mitigation Techniques
In order to reduce building costs and reduce traffic to the
Sheraton Sand Key, the hotel proposes to relocate its laundry and
bakery to the mainland. This will eliminate both employee and
service vehicle trips that are related to these services. This
trip reduction will not be strongly related to a peak hour, but
will serve to reduce the total trips generated by the facility
throughout the day. It is anticipated that the relocation of
support services will result in the reduction of employee trips
and service vehicle trips.
3. IT IS REQUESTED THAT PROPOSALS FOR PIPElINING SHAll BE SUBMITTED
PRIOR TO THE DETERMINATION OF SUFFICIENCY. FAIR-SHARE CALCULA-
TIONS MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS'
RULE AND REGIONAL POLICY, WITH REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE TAMPA
BAY REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION STAFF PRIOR TO PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE.
The applicant will not employ the Pipeline Option to mitigate
transportation impacts.

4. THE TRAFFIC INFORMATION PROVIDED ANALYZES THE EFFECTS OF PROJECT
TRAFFIC RESULTING FROM THIS DRI AT TWO EXISTING DRIVEWAYS TO THE
SHERATON SAND KEY RESORT. THE ANALYSIS PROVIDED REVIEWS THE NEW
TRAFFIC VOLUMES BUT IGNORES THE EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES THAT WILL
RESULT FROM THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AT THE SHERATON RESORT.
PLEASE REVIEW THE ANALYSIS TO INCLUDE AS BACKGROUND TRAFFIC THE
OTHER TRAFFIC COMING FROM EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AT THE SHERATON
SAND KEY RESORT TURNING IN AND OUT OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH SHERATON
DRIVES ONTO GULF BOULEVARD.
Two new driveways will be constructed as part of the expansion to
the hotel. Details will be worked out with the City of Clearwater
regarding pedestrian and service vehicle access between the
existing and expansion properties. The analyses provided in the
ADA examined the operation of those driveways. It is not
anticipated that a large number of vehicles from the exist~ng
facility will use the new driveways, nor was an analysis of the
existing driveways deemed necessary since they are not of regional
significance.
5. THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND ALIGNMENT IDENTIFIED FOR THE GULFVIEW
BOULEVARD AT CORONADO STREET INTERSECTION APPEAR QUESTIONABLE.
THIS INTERSECTION IS A T-TYPE INTERSECTION WITH GULFVIEW BOULEVARD
RUNNING EAST/WEST AND CORONADO STREET RUNNING NORTH FROM THE
INTERSECTION. TRAFFIC VOLUMES IN EXHIBIT 31-2 AND EXHIBIT 31-7
APPEAR QUESTIONABLE. PLEASE VERIFY THE GEOMETRY OF THIS INTER-
SECTION AND TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND REVISE ANY ANALYSIS AS NEEDED.
The geometry of the intersection is correct as shown in the ADA.
The traffic volumes included in the ADA are based on a turning
movement count conducted by the City of Clearwater on October 24,
1985. The count was seasonally adjusted and increased by an
annual growth factor to obtain 1987 volumes.
6. THE DIRECTIONAL PEAK HOUR LINK CAPACITIES AS INDICATED IN THE
ROADWAY LINK ANALYSIS ON TABLE 31-2A ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE
GENERALIZED PEAK HOUR CAPACITY AS INDICATED IN TABLE 14 PROVIDED
AS THE LAST PAGE OF THE DRI/ADA WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE FOR DETERMIN-
ING LINK CAPACITIES ON A GENERALIZED BASIS OR THE NEW HOURLY AND

MULTIMODEL SYSTEMS PLANNING. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
1987. COULD BE USED FOR GENERALIZED LINK ANALYSIS. IN LIEU OF
THESE A MORE DETAILED LINK ANALYSIS COULD BE PROVIDED. PLEASE
REVISE THE ANALYSIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN ACCEPTABLE PROCEDURE.
The attached table lists the source for each of the capacities
used in the ADA. As agreed upon at the Traffic Methodology
meeting, the capacities are based on either the UTPS capacity
table or the FOOT Generalized Daily Capacity table. For the Daily
capacity tables. the listed capacity was multiplied by 0.05
(assuming a K of .1 and a D of 0.5) to determine a peak hour
capacity. This study was done prior to the distribution of the
new FDOT tables.

FDOT, PINElLAS COUNTY MPO AND PSTA COMMENTS
1. IMPROVEMENTS TO SR 699 (REFERENCE IWPI7117007) HAVE NOT BEEN
PROGRAMMED; THEY ARE MERELY UNDER CONSIDERATION. NO CONSTRUCTION
DOLLARS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR THIS PROJECT IN THE FDOT FIVE-YEAR
WORK PROGRAM. A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE PROJECT BY FDOT IS
NEEDED. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ANALYSIS AS NECESSARY.
Programmed improvements to Gulf Boulevard (SR 699) are part of the
adopted P;nellas County Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP-Oct. 1987). Construction as 2 lane divided facilities are
programmed for Gulf Boulevard, from Indian Rocks to Clearwater
Pass (WI#1014), and from 5th Avenue to 28th Avenue (WI#1065).
2. PLEASE CLEARLY INDICATE ALL STATE ROADS IN THE TEXT AND ON ALL
GRAPHICS.
~
Exhibit 31-1 from the ADA has been revised to indicate all State
roadways and is included in this document as Exhibit 12 in Section
4.
3. ON PAGE 31-8 OF THE ADA, THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
(TIP) IS INCORRECTLY DATED 1988/89 THROUGH 1993/94. IT SHOULD BE
DATED 1987/88 THROUGH 1992/93.
This correction has been noted.
4. SR 60 IS NOT A SIX-LANE FACILITY FOR THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE
SECTION INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS. DOES YOUR ANALYSIS INCORPORATE
THE ABOVE CONDITION?
The only segment of SR. 60 included in the analysis is the
Memorial Causeway, Marianne Street and Causeway Boulevard. As
noted in Tables 31-2A, 2B and 2C of the ADA, none of these
roadways was analyzed as a six-lane facility.
5. IF THE APPLICANT HAS INTENTIONS OF RELOCATING OR ESTABLISHING NEW
TURN-AROUND AREAS, PLEASE CONTACT PSTA TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS.
The applicant has no intention of changing an existing turn-around
area. As part of the expansion, it is anticipated that bus
service to the site may be expanded to include service to the new
section of the facilities. Details will be coordinated with PSTA
when a final site plan has been developed.

RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM:
MS. PAULA HARVEY
PLANNING DIRECTOR
CITY OF CLEARWATER
DATED DECEMBER 18, 1987
The following responses are provided consistent with format of Ms.
Harvey's letter to Ms. Suzanne Cooper dated December 18, 1987:
1. THERE ARE TWO (2) MAP "C's". THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED.
The maps which appeared in the ADA have been revised and
renumbered as Map C-1 and C-2 and enclosed as Exhibit 3-B and 3-C.
2. THE FLOOD PLAIN MAP C IS DEFICIENT IN THAT THE ENTIRE PROJECT SITE
IS NOT ACCURATELY REFLECTED. THE PROJECT SITE RUNS TO THE WATER
AND IN FACT IS PARTIALLY IN THE V-ZONE AS PER PAGE 17-1.
Map C has been revised to reflect the project site extending to
the water line. Please refer to Exhibit 3-C.
3. THE LAND USE AND VEGETATION MAP SHOULD PROPERLY LOCATE THE
EXISTING DUNE SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY FOR THE SUBJECT SITE. PAGE
17-1 REFERS TO THE NATURAL DUNE SYSTEM BEING RECREATED. MAP D
AND F SHOULD REFLECT ITS PRESENT LOCATION.
The present dune system referred to in the ADA is not signifi-
cantly defined. It is a sparse remnant system that has been
referred to in the original report for reference purposes. The
proposed expansion will result in the construction of a uniform
and contiguous vegetated dune line that will far exceed the site
and quality of what now stands in what is referenced as the
present "dune line." See response to Question 14.2.
4. MAP H REFLECTS A PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THE CITY
OF CLEARWATER WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT OF FINAL REVIEW OF THE
DETAILS OF THE SITE PLAN DURING THE COURSE OF PREPARATION OF AND
APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT ORDER. ISSUES WHICH WILL BE FURTHER
DISCUSSED INCLUDE NUMBER OF DRIVEWAY CUTS ONTO THE PROPERTY, FINAL
LOCATION OF DUNE SYSTEM, CONSTRUCTION SEAWARD OF THE CCCL AND
TRANSFER OF DENSITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE LEVEL OF EXPANSION. THE
CITY WILL WORK ON A CONTINUING BASIS WITH THE DEVELOPER TO RESOLVE
THESE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Noted.
REGARDING MAP H AS PRESENTED IN THE ADA, A SCALE OF THE DRAWING
WOULD BE HELPFUL TO DETERMINE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON
THE SITE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO DRAWING TO SHOW THE RELATION-
SHIP OF THE EXPANSION AREA TO THE EXISTING SHERATON HOTEL FACILITY.

THIS MUST BE PROVIDED. WE WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE CONFIGURATION
OF DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH BE SHOWN, PARTICULARLY IN CONSIDERATION
OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SEAWARD OF THE CCCL WHICH IS PROPOSED FOR
THIS PROJECT BUT DOESN'T EXIST ELSEWHERE ON THE ISLAND.
Please refer to "Revised Map H" which illustrates the relationship
of the proposed site development to the existing Sheraton Sand Key
Resort Faci 1 ity.
5. THE FIRE STATION LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN CLEARWATER IS IMPROPERLY
LOCATED ON MAP I.
The location of the downtown Clearwater Fire Station has been
relocated on Revised Map I, Exhibit 3-E.
6. PAGE 14-2, THE APPLICATION SHOULD PROVIDE THE PRESENT BEARING
CAPACITIES OF THE SOILS.
Williams & Associates, Geotechnical Engineers of Clearwater,
performed subsurface explorations at the site of this proposed
project. Soil test borings drilled throughout the property
encountered clean fine sands, clayey fine sands to sandy clays and
the underlying limestone formation. This report detailed the
subsurface conditions and evaluations based on data collected are
discussed at length. In summary, the consultant has concluded
that the upper sands are capable of providing adequate bearing
capacity for the heavy column loads associated with the high rise
structure. However,;t was recommended that deep foundation
systems be used due to a potential for post construction settle-
ment of the underlying looser zones. The parking garage, in
contrast, will support a shallow foundation due to the nature of
the structure itself. A soil bearing pressure of 3000 pounds per
square foot was used in evaluating this project and type of
structures involved.
7. WE BELIEVE THE STATEMENT, "AS PROPOSED THERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY
550 FT. OF BEACH BETWEEN THE MEAN HIGH WATER LINE AND THE NEAREST
STRUCTURE,. IS INACCURATE. -BEACH" IMPLIES IT IS OPEN WHEN IN
FACT THE SWIMMING POOL AREA AND DETENTION AREA ARE PROPOSED WITHIN
THE 550 FT. DISTANCE.
Approximately 300 feet of beach lie between the mean high water
line and the nearest structure.
8. WE ARE UNCLEAR AS TO HOW THE NATURAL DUNE SYSTEM IS TO BE
-RECREATED" WHEN IN FACT IT IS BEING TORN DOWN AND REBUILT
ELSEWHERE. OF GREATEST CONCERN IS THE STABILITY OF THE NEW DUNE
SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES SINCE OTHER EXISTING
DUNE SYSTEMS MAY NOT BE WITHIN THE SAME ALIGNMENT OF THOSE CREATED
BY NATURE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE
WILL BE NECESSARY.
There is no natural dune system on the subject property, nor on
adjacent properties due to the nature of recent accreted landform.

It is likewise important to note that substantial dune formations
are not typical of Sand Key in general due to its relatively low
elevation. The proposed project will result in a low continuous
vegetated dune formation seaward of the upland development with
appropriate pedestrian management constraints such as walkovers,
sand fences, and signage.
9. PAGE 20-2, CLARIFICATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED OF THE 90' IMPACT TO
THE REGION FOR MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION. ARE ALL MATERIALS
PURCHASED IN THE REGION ACTUALLY MANUFACTURED IN THE REGION? THIS
THOUGHT MAY ACTUALLY RESULT IN A LOWER PERCENTAGE IMPACT TO THE
REGION.
The impact to the region through materials purchased for
construction has been revised to reflect a new total and is
illustrated in Exhibit 4-A. Approximately 50% of the manufactured
construction materials will be obtained from outside the Tampa Bay
region. The revised dollar amount is approximated at $28,563,000,
of which $14,100,000 will be spent locally.
10. PAGE 20-2 - WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OVERHEAD? IT IS ALMOST 50' OF THE
CONSTRUCTION COST. PLEASE DEFINE.
Revised Table 20-1 (Exhibit 4-A) shows a revised overhead
estimated of $27,190,000 of which $17,705,000 (or 65') is expected
to directly impact the Tampa Bay Region. Project overhead is
detailed in Exhibit 4-8.
11. PAGE 20-8 INDICATES THERE WILL BE 354 NEW PEAK HOUR TRIPS. PAGE
31-15 INDICATES A DIFFERENT AMOUNT. PLEASE CLARIFY.
As indicated on page 31-15, the expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key
is projected to generate 600 peak hour trips. It is anticipated
that 354 of those trips will use the Clearwater Pass bridge as
discussed on page 20-8. The project trip distribution is
discussed on page 31-16 of the ADA.
12. PAGE 27-1. THIS SECTION SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECREATION AND
OPEN SPACE ORDINANCES AND FEES TO THE CITY TO FULLY REPORT THE
HOTEL'S CONTRIBUTION IN THIS REGARD.
1 )
Phase I construction will contain 428 hotel units. Per the
Stipulation Agreement for the subject site, the stipulated
impact fee is $324,126.93.
2)
Phase II development will contain 267 condominiums or 322
additional hotel units. (750-428 from Phase I). These units
are transferred R.D.U. density from the adjoining property to
the north. Construction design and the timetable for this

second phase are indefinite at this time. Based on discus-
sions with the City of Clearwater Planning Department, the
C;ty's Recreation & Open Space Ordinance, Section 116.40 of
the Clearwater Code will determine the impact fees for these
additional units. If developed as residential condominiums,
the Recreation and Open Space impact calculates as follows:
267 X $200/R.D.U. = $53,400
If developed as hotel units, the Recreation and Open Space
impact calculates to one-fourth the R.D.U. impact (4 hotel
units = 1 R.D.U.) times 322 hotel units, as follows:
322 X $200/4 = $16,100
13. EXHIBIT 31-2, WHY IS THERE A 40% INCREASE IN TRAFFIC COUNTS GOING
WESTWARD FROM ISLAND WAY TO POINSETTIA ON MEMORIAL CAUSEWAY. WE
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE INCREASED TRAFFIC CAME FROM SINCE THERE
ARE NO INTERSECTIONS OR DEVELOPMENTS TO ADD TO THE TRAFFIC.
The difference in traffic volumes is likely due to the different
sources of the counts. The count at Poinsettia was conducted by
the City of Clearwater on November 6, 1985. The count at Island
Way was conducted by Wade-Trim on October 1, 1987. Differences in
the day of count, weather or several other factors could lead to
the variance in volumes.
14. TABLE 31-1, MANDALAY AVENUE FROM CAUSEWAY BOULEVARD TO PAPAYA IS
FOUR (4) LANE UNDIVIDED, NOT TWO (2) LANE UNDIVIDED.
This change has been noted. As a result of this revision, the
level of service on this link is LOS B, not LOS E as stated in the
ADA. Similar results occur on Table 31-2A, 2B and 2C.
15. EXHIBIT 31-3. WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AT
CAUSEWAY BOULEVARD AND CORONADO IS "AN OR THAT LOS AT GULFVIEW AND
CORONADO IS NBN. HOW WAS THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE DETERMINED?
The level of service was determined using the Critical Movement
Analysis computer software. This software analyzes traffic
volumes, lane geometrics, signal phasing and various other factors
to determine a level of service. It must be noted that this was
an analysis of weekday P.M. peak hour conditions, the time of
largest impact of project traffic. It is not necessarily the time
of maximum volumes on the roadway network of a beach, where the
peak periodS are on weekends and where they fluctuate daily
depending on weather conditions.
16. EXHIBIT 31-5, REFER TO COMMENT 113 ABOVE. ALSO, ARE THESE NUMBERS
FOR A PEAK PERIOD? PLEASE LABEL EXHIBIT.
A copy of Exhibit 31-5 from the ADA is attached as Exhibit 13.
The P.M. peak hour volume discrepancy discussed in response to
Comment 13 is repeated here.

17. PAGE 31-27, STATEMENT IS PROVIDED THAT PUBLIC TRANSIT IS NOT
HEAVILY USED AT THE HOTEL. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM HOTEL
OFFICIALS THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, PUBLIC TRANSIT IS USED.
PLEASE CLARIFY.
Public transportation is used heavily by Sheraton Sand Key Resort
guests and is a very important part of the guest experience.
Approximately 22% of the 1987 guests were international who use
the buses for shopping trips to Clearwater Beach and the malls.
Only a small percentage of the convention guests rent cars. Con-
versely, most convention guests come by The Limo. When going to
restaurants and quick shopping on the beach these guests use the
trolley during its hours of operation. Also, taxi service is used
in the off hours by convention guests.
The public transportation question is vitally important to meeting
planners and tour operators to the extent that the resort provides
a picture in its sales brochures and video presentations of the
hotel featuring this mode of transportation.
At this time PSTA and the City of Clearwater trolley service enter
the Sheraton Sand Key Resorts' north driveway; stop under the
portico area on the east end of the building; and leave from the
south driveway. It is expected that the same area will be used in
the future.

RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM:
MS. JENNIFER D. MCMURTRAY
REGIONAL BIOLOGIST
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
DIVISION OF RECREATION AND PARKS
DATED DECEMBER 17, 1987
The project site plan has been designed with the intent to minimize
light visible to the loggerhead sea turtles. Facilities such as the
swimming pool, and parking lot have been located with the loggerhead
hatchlings in mind. Hotel lighting will not directly illuminate areas
seaward of the dunes. Indirect lighting which may be visible from the
beach will be shielded by landscaping and the created sand dunes.
Security or floodlights will be limited to the fewest number necessary.
These will also be shielded by the aforementioned barriers. As stated
in the ADA dune walkover lighting will be foot-lights or appropriately
shielded, and there will be no evening construction during the nesting
season which requires beach lighting. The project landscape architect
has been furnished with a copy of the publication Sea Turtle Hatchling
Disorientation and Artificial Beachfront Lighting by Paul Raymond, and
instructed to incorporate those guidelines wherever possible.
Therefore, it appears potential light reaching the beach will be
eliminated.
If heavy beach cleaning equipment is required during the nesting
season, it will be limited to the mean high water line or below.
Light rakes will be used above the mean high water line where turtle
nests may be located. All beach cleaning equipment will be excluded
from a 10 foot radius around each nest.
As stated in the ADA, a qualified agency or individual will be engaged
to survey the beach as required during the nesting season. Identified
nests will be staked, or marked by a means to be determined by the
contractor, and posted with approved FDNR signs.
In addition to the measures listed above, the Sheraton has committed ?
to incorporating a permanent 1200 square foot sea turtle hatchery as
part of their new beachscape in an effort to further aid in the
protection of loggerhead sea turtles.
The applicant has worked closely with representatives of FDNR's Bureau
of Marine Research and the Clearwater Marine Science Center in devel-
oping procedures to adequately protect loggerhead sea turtles. It is
believed that the measures identified in the ADA as well as those
listed above will mitigate potential impacts and adequately protect
loggerhad sea turtles at the proposed project site.

It is understood that all construction will be in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 161.053 F.S. and Chapter 168-33 F.A.C.
f. Existing vegetation on site consists of disturbed coastal strand
uplands. Establishment of a vegetated dune system along with
appropriate landscaping will mitigate for the removal of the
existing vegetation and disturbed remnants of a secondary dune
system.

PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION OF DEVELOPMENT ORDER CONDITIONS
A. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. IT IS APPROPRIATE THAT, AS A DEVELOPMENT ORDER CONDITION, SHOULD
DEVELOPMENT SIGNIFICANTLY DEPART FROM THE PARAMETERS SET FORTH IN
THE ADA, SUCH AS THE PROPOSAL TO SUBSTITUTE RESIDENTIAL UNITS FOR
HOTEL ROOMS, MENTIONED IN THE ADA, WILL BE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL
DEVIATION DETERMINATION PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION 380.06(19), F.S.
This condition is not acceptable. The terms of the Settlement
Stipulation, Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7 provide for hotel or
residential use of the property. This Sufficiency Response
clearly illustrates that any increase in demands for public
facilities (i.e. sewer, potable water, solid waste, electric, gas,
police, fire, etc.) which may be associated with the construction
of residential condominiums totalling 267 units in Tower 2, are

Tampa, FL 33602
Suite 334
HE: Sheraton Sand Key
Dear Mr. Gildersleeve:
Please be advised that the zoning of the property ident ified as M&B 33.02,
Sec. l7-29S-l5E, a portion of which is proposed to be developed with an
expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key Resort Hotel is zoned "B" (Business) with a
Land Use Plan classification of Commercial/Tourist Facilities. Enclosed is a
copy of the Land Use Plan map for the City of Clearwater and a copy of the
Zoning Atlas identifying the designation of "B" zoning.
There are no plans to amend either the zoning or Land Use Plan classification
on this property as it now reflects the terms of the Settlement Stipulation,
Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7. These designations provide for hotel or
residential use of the property. The allowable density is provided for in the
stipulation and although it exceeds that provided for under the terms of the
Land Use Plan, the stipulation shall prevail.
These development rights shall remain in full force and effect for a period of
twenty (20) years, or until October 17, 2006.
If you have any questions, please contact this office.
Sincerely,
€a ~rv~

Dear Mr. Mai:
Than~ you for your letter concerning the proposed
expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key Resort.
The City of Clearwater has a four-inch high-pressure gas
main on Gulf Boulevard that currently serves the
Sheraton. This gas main has ample volume to meet all
future natural gas requirements of the Sheraton Sand Key
Resort and its proposed expansion.
The City of Clearwater and its Gas Division look forward
to working with the Sheraton Sand Key Resort in the
future.

Dear Ms. prinse:
As a follow-up to my prior letter of January 26, 1988
concerning the proposed expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key
Resort, I wish to inform you of additional information with
regard to the requirement for additional police personnel which
was not available at the time of my original letter.
I am pleased to announce that subsequent to January of 1988,
the City of Clearwater now has an operational police sub-station
located on the south end of Clearwater Beach with sufficient
manpower at the present time to deal with providing police
service to Sand Key which I do not feel will be specifically
impacted by the expansion of the Sheraton Sand Key Resort.
Rather, my initial comments in the letter of January 26, 1988
were directed at the total building expansion on Sand Key that I
feel is going to impact the requirement for the expansion of
police services in the future. Please contact me if you need any
further clarification with regards to my position on this matter.

An additional section of this Sufficiency Response is provided to
further clarify questions raised by the review agencies and response
by the applicant concerning the option of developing the second tower
for 267 residential condominium units as opposed to 322 hotel suites.
As noted earlier in this Sufficiency Response, a Settlement Stipula-
tion, Circuit Civil No. 78-4765-7, provides for the development of
either hotel or residential uses on the property. Recognizing that
this option is available, the following supplemental information to
the DRI/ADA is provided to identify the impacts/demands of the
alternate use (i.e. residential condominium) upon the regional roadway
system and other applicable facilities and services provided by the
City of Clearwater.
Please refer to the attached tables 21-1, 23-1, 24-1 and 25-1 which
reflect consumption/demand for sanitary sewer, potable water, solid
waste and energy. Commitment letters have been received and included
in this Sufficiency Response for each facility type/service.
Recognizing that the option of constructing the second tower as
residential condominiums will require less natural gas than the first
option, additional correspondence from the Utilities Department of the
City of Clearwater is not required.

QUESTION 31 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES:
TRANSPORTATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following additional data are presented to illustrate the impacts
of developing Tower 2 for 267 residential condominium units as opposed
to 322 hotel suites as provided for in the previously referenced Civil
Court Settlement Stipulation.
As outlined in the ADA, the development of Towers 1 & 2 as hotel
suites generates the following peak hour trips:
o 750 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 600 Trips
The PM peak hour trip generation for Towers 1 & 2 hotel and condomin-
ium is as follows:
o 428 Hotel rooms X 0.80 trips/room = 342
o 267 Condos X 0.51 trips/Condo = 136
478 Trips
The attached tables illustrate the roadway link (i.e. Gulf Boulevard
from Walsingham to 4th Avenue) impacted by the proposed development
based on the two development alternates. Further, Exhibit 31-6 is
provided to graphically illustrate project trip distribution at Gulf
Boulevard and 4th Avenue.
The origin-destination survey conducted by Wade-Trim in preparing the
ADA submittal was conducted between 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on September 22,
24 and 28, 1987 and yielded the following results:
o Of the 42 motorists that were leaving the Sheraton Sand Key
and traveling south, 16 responded that they were traveling to
destinations south of Walsingham Road. Twelve of the respon-
dents stated they were going to Indian Rocks Beach or Crabby
Bills Restaurant. Only four were traveling to sites below
Indian Rocks Beach.
o Of the 80 motorists that were entering the Sheraton Sand Key
from origins south of the site, eight stated they were
arriving from locations south of Walsingham Road. Five of
the respondents stated they were coming from Indian Rocks
Beach.
The distribution included in the ADA showed that 114 project vehicles
traveled south of Walsingham Road and did not track what those
vehicles did beyond the intersection of Gulf Boulevard and Walsingham
Road. The attached revised 1997 Project Trip Distribution extends the
study area to the south in order to better display project traffic.

From this distribution, based on the origin-destination study, Tables
1 & 2 were prepared. These tables display for the additional links
the same information that Table 2A of the ADA displayed.
Based on this more detailed analysis, the only roadway link that the
project impacts will be Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham Road and 4th
Avenue. The costs to improve this link are estimated to be:
750 rooms x $589/room = $441,750
428 rooms x $589/room = $252,092
267 condo x $454/room = $121,218 = $373,310
DCA RULE ~~~0-_(~ig}773) x ($371,512 x 1.18)* x (0.1)** = $17,848.50
IMPACT FEE
* Cost based on FOOT 1987 Cost Per Mile Table (Oct. 22, 1987) with
18% allowance for purchase of right-of-way
** Length of Link is approximately 400' = 0.1 mile
The developer's Fair Share contribution of $17,848.50, based upon the
impacts of the project upon the 400' link of Gulf Boulevard between
Walsingham and 4th Avenue, is considerably less than the exactions for
compliance with Pinellas County's Transportation Impact Fee.
In an effort to reduce the impact on the roadway network of the
additional 750 rooms, the Sheraton Sand Key is proposing to reduce the
number of trips generated by the hotel through the use of transporta-
tion system management (TSM) strategies. These strategies will serve
to mitigate the impact of hotel traffic, not through the construction
of additional roadway lanes, but through responsible management
policies of the hotel.
Typically, roadways are designed and built to provide sufficient
capacity for average conditions, estimated by average annual daily
traffic volumes. Likewise, the hotel should be examined during
average conditions and should not be required to mitigate the impact
of conditions when it is 100 percent occupied as this is not the
average condition. In the Sheraton Sand Key Resort's area there are
seven (7) hotel properties which due to both proximity and market
served are considered primary competitors. To illustrate the
appropriateness of utilizing a 73% occupancy rate for the Sheraton
Sand Key Resort, please refer to the following Table which compares
Sheraton's facility with other area hotels.

Therefore, this analysis amends Table 31-2B in the original
Application for Development Approval (ADA) and is based on the fact
that the estimated annual occupancy rate for the Sheraton Sand Key is
73 percent as illustrated in this section.
MITIGATION TECHNIQUES
In order to reduce the number of trips generated by the facility on
both a daily and a peak hour basis, the Sheraton Sank Key will enact
several new policies and programs. These policies and their impact on
traffic are discussed below.
o Employee Shuttle
In order to reduce the number of employee trips from the project,
the hotel will operate a shuttle between the Indian Rocks Beach
area and the hotel. This shuttle will operate on a regular basis
to carry employees between the hotel and their cars.
Data collection by the hotel determined that almost 13 percent of
the hotel staff complete their work and leave the hotel between
5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Since work shifts are set by the hotel, this
is a percentage that can be maintained by hotel management. Using
the same distribution of traffic presented in the ADA, there will
be 43 southbound employee trips on Gulf Boulevard between
Walsingham and 4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour at project
build-out. These 43 employee trips will be removed from the
roadway network and replaced with two trips of the shuttle for a
reduction of 41 trips on the roadway link.
o Parlor Car Service for Guests
The Sheraton Sand Key proposes to operate a regularly scheduled
shuttle (parlor car) service between the hotel and desired guest
destinations to the south during P.M. peak and evening hours. The
fixed travel route will be southward since the Clearwater Trolley

takes guests from the hotel to Clearwater Beach. The shuttle
vehicle will be a custom designed luxury vehicle. Schedules will
be established to meet the needs of guests, making this an
attractive and convenient alternative to driving.
From the analysis in the ADA, it was estimated that there would be
83 total southbound trips to Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham and
4th Avenue during the P.M. peak hour. Since 43 of these trips
will be employees, as was previously calculated, there will be 40
trips by guests.
From a survey of guests conducted by the Sheraton Sand Key during
March, 1988, it was found that approximately 85 percent of the
guests would use the shuttle vehicle to reach their destinations.
Replacing 85 percent of the vehicle trips with two shuttle trips
would reduce the project traffic on the Gulf Boulevard link by an
additional 34 vehicle trips.
o Other Mitigation Techniques
In order to reduce building costs and reduce traffic to the
Sheraton Sand Key, the hotel proposes to relocate its laundry and
bakery to the mainland. This will eliminate both employee and
service vehicle trips that are related to these services. This
trip reduction will not be strongly related to a peak hour, but
will serve to reduce the total trips generated by the facility
throughout the day. It is anticipated that the relocation of
support services will result in the reduction of employee trips
and service vehicle trips.
Link Analysis
In the ADA, the only roadway link that operated at an unacceptable
level of service, and on which project traffic was greater than five
percent of the link capacity, was Gulf Boulevard between Walsingham
and 4th Avenue. On the link, project traffic comprised 13.0 percent
of the roadway capacity.
In summary, through the proposed TSM mitigation techniques, project
traffic on that link during the P.M. peak hour has been reduced from
83 vehicles to 8 vehicles and project traffic will comprise only 1.1
percent of the roadway capacity, indicating that no further measures
beyond those previously identified will be required of the Sheraton
Sand Key.
