Public Reading of Ordinances
a
First Reading, Ordinance #2016-2073: Code Amendment - Urban Agriculture
City Attorney Poblick read the proposed ordinances by title only. Deputy Mayor Phillips commented
that the ordinances did not address whether urban agriculture could be allowed on rental properties.
Councilman Davis asked for a work session prior to a vote being taken, in order to study the
ordinances thoroughly.
Pasco County Food Policy Advisory Council member Travis Morehead stated that a like ordinance was
planned for County enaction, and that the evening's proposed ordinances would motivate individuals to
Page 4
move to the City.
Business owner Frank Starkey was in favor of the ordinances' passage, stating that he found them to be
well-written. City resident Don Cadle mentioned that he was the only Land Development Review
Board member to recommend the ordinances, and that the urban agriculture movement was not a new
concept.
Virginia Avenue resident Jim Kovaleski reported that his home's street was now known as the "garden
district", and that the street's property values were increasing because of it. Although she was a City
rental property tenant, Faye Kroblik stated she was also an urban gardener. She was in favor of the
ordinances because of the increase in community involvement and resident interaction. Also in favor
was City resident Steve Wexler, who stated his and neighbors' gardens created a positive energy that
brought about their neighborhood's commonality and unification, and brought residents together.
City resident Cindy Cadle stated she was a grower and a Tasty Tuesday participant. She reported the
event's recent SNAP/EBT acceptance, which not only grew the event's size, but helped provide healthy
food for those in the community for less outlay than chain-store supermarkets' prices.
City resident Denise Houston stated that the ordinances would attract the type of people the City
desired as residents. Will Clark reported that the Virginia Avenue vista was what decided them to move
to New Port Richey.
Environmental Committee Chair Dell deChant stated he was very impressed with the ordinances'
wording, and recommended passage. He reiterated the City's prospective improvement and that the
gardens would be well cared for by their owners and not neglected, causing code enforcement issues.
None else coming forward for public comment, Mayor Marlowe returned the floor to Council.
Councilman Starkey did not see the need for a work session, stating that the ordinances were trendsetting and that residents taking part in the program would take care of their gardens.
Councilwoman DeBella Thomas questioned why hydroponics were not allowed in back yards, and
suggested garden design guidelines to prevent a blighted appearance, plus photographs of residents'
gardens. Additionally, she questioned why a permit would be required to grow food for one's own use.
Mayor Marlowe was in favor of allowing urban agriculture in homes' front yards. Deputy Mayor
Phillips stated he would vote in favor of the ordinances upon first reading, but asked for a work session
to further clarify the ordinances prior to their second reading, which would occur after the State's
DEO approval. Councilman Davis commented that the City's 45% renter population would not
maintain their gardens and would eventually move out, leaving ruined yards behind. Also, he felt that
standing water in buckets and pails would contribute to mosquito breeding.
Motion was made to approve the ordinance upon its first reading.
Motion made by Jeff Starkey and seconded by Bill Phillips. The Motion Passed. 5-0. Ayes: Davis,
b
First Reading, Ordinance #2016-2074: Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Urban Agriculture

Section 9.10, d: strike through "from Gulf Dr. to Louisiana Ave." and replace with "south of Gulf
Page 5
Dr."
Upon opening the floor to public comment, City resident Sean McCart thanked the City for the
ordinance, and asked if there would be reciprocity with Port Richey. Additionally, he asked for carts to
be allowed on that section of Indiana Avenue (9.10, h) that was excepted due to emergency vehicle use.
He questioned why there was a minimum 5-year age limit if the ordinance required carts to have seat
belts.
City Attorney Poblick informed City resident Joan Nelson Hook that registered street-legal carts
would not require a City inspection. None else coming forward for public comment, Mayor Marlowe
returned the floor to Council.
Deputy Mayor Phillips commented that Port Richey needed to select a new city manager before
reciprocity could be discussed. He suggested cart regulations for Sims Park. In response to
Councilwoman DeBella Thomas's query, City Attorney Poblick stated he would add an exception for
rented/loaned golf carts for special event organizers.
Councilman Davis suggested that a cart-allowed street map and a copy of cart guidelines be supplied to
City residents when they applied. Mayor Marlowe suggested cart charging stations. Both Mayor
Marlowe and Councilman Starkey questioned Woodridge Estates cart access; Public Works Director
Rivera responded that the portion of Congress Street in question was County-owned.
Motion made by Bill Phillips and seconded by Jeff Starkey. The Motion Passed. 5-0. Ayes: Davis,
d
First Reading, Ordinance #2016-2077: Code Amendment - Front Porches
City Attorney Poblick read the proposed ordinance by title only. Senior Planner Chris Mettler added
that a grant allowed porch construction reimbursement if the minimum income requirement was met.
Upon opening the floor to public comment, business owner Frank Starkey voiced his approval of the
ordinance, stating that front porches would increase neighbors' interaction and property values. None
else coming forward for public comment, Mayor Marlowe returned the floor to Council.

force. She thanked City staff for the bridge flags and their beautification efforts. She reported the

rear, and safety/seat belts. Those golf carts operated at night shall are also required to have headlights.
Additionally, any golf cart operated on City roadways will be required to be inspected and registered with
the City. Operators shall be at least 16 years of age with a valid driver’s license and insurance.
As you recall, this ordinance was presented to you for your consideration at your April 5, 2016 City Council meeting.

The number of occupants in any golf cart being operated on the designated City streets of
the City of New Port Richey shall be restricted to the number of seats on the golf cart, not
exceeding the number of persons for which the golf cart was designed and which is consistent with
the number of seats provided by the golf cart manufacture. Occupants under five (5) years of age
are not permitted. All occupants shall be restrained by a safety belt, appropriately adjusted which
is fastened at all times when the golf cart is in motion.
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any occupant of a golf cart to stand at any time while the golf cart
is in motion.
(c)
All golf carts permitted to travel on designated City streets within the City of New Port
Richey shall have a maximum attainable speed of twenty miles per hour (20 m.p.h.).
(d)
It is unlawful for a person to drive a golf cart at such a slow speed as to impede or block
the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe
operation or in compliance with the law. It is the duty of the operator of a golf cart to leave the
paved surface of a designated street to allow other motor vehicles to proceed at a lawful speed on
such street as an exception to Section 9.1 and subparagraph (e) below.
(e)
It is unlawful for a golf cart to be operated on City sidewalks, rights-of-way and other
location on which a motor vehicle cannot be operated, and as proscribed by state statute or City
ordinance, except for compliance with subparagraph (d) above.
(f)
It shall be unlawful for any golf cart to be operated on the designated streets of the City
unless and until the owner(s) thereof has purchased liability insurance insuring against personal
injury and damage to property relative to the operation of golf carts on said designated City streets.
The said insurance must be in full force and effect at all times the golf cart is operated on designated
City streets. Proof of insurance must be presented to the City upon registration and licensing of
the golf carts to operate on designated City streets, and to a law enforcement officer or Code
Enforcement Officer upon request.
Section 9.12 Enforcement.
A violation of this Article is enforceable as a violation of City Code as a Class IV violation,
or as a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable pursuant to Chapter 318, Florida Statutes, as

Lisa L. Fierce, Development Director
DATE:
4/19/2016
RE:
Second Reading, Ordinance 2016-2077: Code Amendment - Front Porches
REQUEST:
Council is to conduct a (second) public hearing of the ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council held a first hearing on the proposed amendments addressing front porches on April 5, 2016.
The Development Department would like to encourage residents to add front porches to their homes, in order to
improve the appearance of residential neighborhoods, encourage social interaction among neighbors, create a safer
environment and improve property values. The existing single-family residential zoning district setback standards may
prohibit the construction of front porch additions to many existing single-family homes without a variance approval.
Therefore, the Staff proposes amending the setback standards to encourage and accommodate the provision of front
porches on single-family homes in the City’s residential neighborhoods.
The proposed ordinance provides a definition of “front porch” that identifies the required minimum elements of a
front porch, as follows: “(a) covered structure attached to the front of a dwelling unit and providing the following
elements: providing primary access into the dwelling unit; typically having a separate roof; unenclosed except for a
roof, balustrade, and flooring; extending a minimum of 50 percent of the building façade; having a minimum 10-foot
depth; and having a floor that is typically raised above the finished horizontal elevation of the lot. The design elements
of the porch are typically consistent with those of the building and include the finish materials of any exterior surface,
stem wall materials and/or foundation skirting.”
The ordinance amends the setback regulations in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 single–family residential zoning districts to
accommodate front porches in front yards and secondary front yards (side yards facing a public roadway). The
amendments allow covered porches to extend 10 feet into the required front yard setback, but not closer than 10 feet
to the front property line. The setbacks would then be reduced from 25 feet to 10 feet. Alteration of the porches to
form enclosed or air-conditioned living spaces is prohibited and the porches are required to maintain at least 80
percent openness and may not be screened. This will further the goal of encouraging interaction amongst neighbors.
The City’s Home Improvement Reimbursement Grant (HIRG) program promotes “street friendly” housing by
encouraging homeowners to include porches, windows and doors oriented to the street and parking to the side or rear
of the home. The program promotes a sense of community by encouraging residents to spend time in their yard and on
their front porch. The front porch provision is an eligible improvement under the HIRG program.
The proposed new language is shown with underlining and deleted language is shown with strikethrough.
Compatibility with Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies:
FLU Objective 1.2 - Maintain the integrity and quality of life, in existing residential areas through decision
making that promotes traditional neighborhood development, family-orientation and “small town” character.
FLU Policy 1.2.5 - The conservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of existing residential areas shall be
Page 20
encouraged.
LIV Policy 1.1.1 - Encourage new development and redevelopment to utilize traditional neighborhood
development (TND) principles which address the following features:
i. Street-friendly housing: Housing close to and facing the street with active areas such as porches, windows
and doorways oriented to the street; garages located to the side or rear, or set back deeper than the main part of
the house.
LIV Objective 1.3 - Safer, more livable communities that foster interaction between people and discourage
criminal activities through effective use and property design of the physical environment.
LIV Policy 1.3.2 - Natural surveillance techniques should be considered in the location of physical features,
mix of activities and uses, people and lighting in such a way as to maximize visibility.
LIV Objective 4.2 - Promote the use of setbacks that allow buildings to frame the street to create conditions
that are favorable to pedestrian use and comfort.
LIV Policy 4.2.5 - By 2009, the City shall revise setback requirements to allow porch easements in subdivision
design and to require living areas of the structure to be closer to the street than garage areas.
LIV Objective 4.5 - Promote high quality architectural standards that support the City’s image and contribute to
its identity and unique sense of place.
LIV Policy 4.5.1 Encourage building design to provide an ordered variety of entries, porches, windows, bays
and balconies along public ways where it is consistent with neighborhood character; avoid blank or solid walls
at street level; and include human-scale details and massing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. The Land Development Review Board recommended approval at its
March 17, 2016 meeting.
None.

RE:
First Reading, Ordinance 2016-2083: Code Amendment - Mobile Home Park District
REQUEST:
Council is to conduct a first public hearing of the ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The Development Department proposes amendments to the Mobile Home Park (MHP) zoning District to improve the
standards and prevent negative impacts in existing parks. Concerns have been raised by the use of recreational vehicles
as permanent homes in some of the City's mobile home parks. As proposed, the Code amendment would prohibit
recreational vehicles as permanent legal residences in mobile home parks and provide additional mobile home
standards. The amendment alters the definition of "mobile home" to distinguish it from a "recreational vehicle" and
adds definitions for "permanent legal residence" and "recreational vehicle."
The proposed new language is shown with underlining and deleted language is show with strikethrough.
Compatibility with Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies:
FLU 1.2.2 - The City shall encourage a balanced land use mix providing for a variety of housing styles,
densities and open space.
FLU 1.2.3 - The City shall, through the enforcement of all applicable laws and regulations and the provision of
a variety of residential zoning categories, encourage opportunities for all citizens to purchase or rent decent,
safe and sanitary housing which they can afford, free from arbitrary discrimination.
FLU 1.2.4 - Existing residential areas shall be protected from the encroachment of incompatible activities;
likewise, other land use areas shall be protected from the encroachment of incompatible residential activities.
FLU 1.2.5 - The conservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of existing residential areas shall be encouraged.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
None.

Resolution 2016-09 - Imposing & Assessing Cost of Abatement and Removal of Unsafe Structure at
6035/6037 High Street
REQUEST:
City Council is to conduct a hearing for the purpose of assessing the costs of abatement of the unsafe structure and
determine if a lien should be imposed. The matter shall be handled as a quasi-judicial proceeding.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is 0.16 acres located on the north side of High Street, approximately 300 feet east of Madison
Street. It is located within the Old Oak Grove Subdivision that was platted in 1925. (Exhibit “A”, Site Location Map).
The site had contained a damaged duplex. It was owned by James Morgan (deceased) since 1995.
Following the November 13, 2015 fire of the structure, the Building Official determined that the structure meets the
definition of unfit or unsafe structure and should be abated under emergency condemnation procedure (see Exhibit
“B”, Article VI of Code of Ordinances and Exhibit “C”, "Before" Site Photographs).
At its December 1, 2015 meeting, City Council determined that the condition of the structure presented a clear,
present and immediate hazard to the safety of persons or property. It adopted an emergency resolution (#201602) declaring the duplex to be a nuisance and authorized the immediate abatement and removal of such nuisance. The
duplex was demolished on December 16, 2015. (see Exhibit "D", Demolition Photographs).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution and authorization to impose a lien to recover costs outlined herein.
The City's expenses for the the removal of the unsafe structure totaled $5,289.35. This includes title search, certified
notices to owner/interested parties and advertising in the Tampa Bay Times.

RE:
2013 Sewer Improvements Project Close-Out
.
REQUEST:
The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the Final Deductive Change Order in the
amount of two hundred forty-five thousand three hundred eleven dollars and twenty-two cents ($245,311.22) and the
Final Pay Request in the amount of forty-nine thousand one hundred seventy-seven dollars and twenty-eight cents
$49,177.28 from Suncoast Development of Pinellas County, Inc. for the completion of the 2013 Sewer
Improvements Project.
DISCUSSION:
As Council may recall, elements constructed during this project were identified in the 2012 Utility Master Plan
Update. The elements included the replacement of a 10" sanitary sewer force located in the Magnolia Valley subdivision and a 12" force main extension at Magnolia Way east to Grand Blvd. north to Louisiana Ave. The purpose of
the extension is to eventually redirect and reduce flows from the existing master lift station located on Nebraska Ave.
in the Railroad Square area. Finally, the existing lift station panel located at Kentucky Ave. and Anderson St. was
elevated in an effort to prevent the possibility of stormwater intrusion during large weather events.
The deductive change order was the result of non expenditure of the owners contingency and the elimination of two
lift station upgrades as explained in the engineer of record's attached memo.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the final deductive change order and final pay request are recommended.
Funding is available in the Water and Sewer construction fund account No. 405-0960-535-63-81.

RE:
Notice of Intent to Purchase Utilities
.
REQUEST:
The request of staff for Council is to review and consider for approval the attached notice of intent to purchase the
Lakewood Villas, Barbara Ann Acres, and Silver Oaks Utilities for a do not exceed amount of $600,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
As Council is aware, staff began preliminary discussions with the owners of Lakewood Villas, Barbara Ann Acres, and
Silver Oaks Utilities and the possible acquisition of the systems. Subsequent to the completion of valuation reports on
the utilities, negotiations for the purchases took place. The reports were determined by an average of the asset
valuation of the existing facilities, income valuation, and the comparable sales valuations of similar size utilities. The
valuation of the Lakewood Villas system was determined to be $512,999, the Barbara Ann Acres system $40,910, and
the Silver Oaks system $53,578. The sum of the three systems totaled $607,487. The report summary memo from
McKim & Creed identified a reasonable purchase price for the three utility systems to be between $560,000 and
$610,000. Negotiations between staff and the current owners concluded on January 14, 2016 with an agreed purchase
price of $600,000 contingent on Council's approval and issuance of a notice of intent to purchase the utility systems.
The notice of intent's purpose is to identify all items specifically called out by each party as assigned responsibilities
required for the purchase conclusion. A January 1, 2017 has been agreed on by all parties as a fair and reasonable time
frame to complete the purchase process.
Subsequent to the City's Finance Director and the City's Financial Advisor's review of the proposed utility purchases,
it has been recommended that competitive loan submissions from financial institutions should be used to complete
the transaction. In addition to the $600,000.00 purchase price, the valuation reports included the cost estimates for
the City to replace the existing meters with the City's Automated Meter Infrastructure System. The cost for the meter
conversions is $261,000.00 and is expected to be included in the loan as a Capital element. Staff has reviewed the
operating and maintenance responsibilities of the utilities and have concluded that it will not require a request to
Council for additional utility maintenance personnel and equipment to incorporate the utility systems into the City's
existing system.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the attached Notice of Intent is recommended.
There is no budget impact currently.

Re:
Task Order No. 8
Utility Valuation-Lakewood Villas, Barbara Ann Acres and Silver Oaks
Utilities
Dear Mr. Rivera:
Enclosed please find the revised utility valuations for the, Barbara Ann Acres
Utility System, the Silver Oaks Utility System, and the Lakewood Villas Utility
System. We want to thank the City and the owners of these utilities, Mr. Jim
Weeks and Mr. Rick Miller, for their assistance during the valuation process.
While it is understood that both parties are considering the purchase of the three
utility systems as a single acquisition, separate utility valuations were prepared for
each of the three utility systems in accordance with McKim & Creed’s scope of
services.
Each utility system serves a relatively small community of primarily single family
homes within the City limits. Two of these systems, the Barbara Ann Acres Utility
System and the Silver Oaks Utility System purchase water from the City through a
bulk meter as the water source. The Lakewood Villas Utility System has its own
water supply wells, but has a connection to the City’s water system as an
emergency backup water supply source. As such, the cost to connect these utility
systems to the City’s existing water distribution system is negligible.

Page 88
The infrastructure that makes up the three utility systems primarily consists of the
distribution system (i.e. 2” to 6” diameter PVC pipe and valves, water services and
water meters). The infrastructure for the Lakewood Villas Utility System also
includes two wells, a treatment system (i.e. disinfection), and a 2000 gallon
hydropneumatic tank. The age of these utility systems appears to range from 45 to
48 years.
1/28/16
Page 2 of 3
The utility valuations were determined as an average of the asset valuation,
income valuation and the comparable sales valuation. For the asset valuation, the
condition assessment was limited to a review of available data, including available
maintenance history, age of the infrastructure, and estimated remaining useful life
since the existing distribution system infrastructure is below grade and subsurface
exploration of the system was not included in the project scope. For the income
valuation, current average water use, water billing rates, and City operational
costs were used without projecting increases. For the comparable sales valuation,
a per connection value was calculated and projected to each utility system; again
assuming no change in the number of connections. The utility valuations for the
three utility systems are listed below.
Barbara Ann Acres Utility System
Silver Oaks Utility System
Lakewood Villas Utility System
$ 40,910
$ 53,578
$ 512,999
The sum for the three utility systems is $607,487. With the need to make various
assumptions during the valuation process, a reasonable purchase price for the
three utility systems is between $560,000 and $610,000.
Should the City choose to proceed with the acquisition of the Barbara Ann Acres,
Silver Oaks, and the Lakewood Villas utility systems, the City will need to replace
the existing water service meters with the City’s standard smart meters and
incorporate these new accounts into its billing system. While the conversion of the
water meters does not have to be done immediately, any delay in converting to the
City’s water meters will require manual meter reading at a cost to the City.
Acquisition of the Lakewood Villas Utility System will also result in the need for
the City to decommission the existing water supply wells and treatment facility.
However, once the existing facilities are decommissioned, the City could have an
available lot that may be sold or converted to green space if the land that the
existing wells and treatment facility is included in the acquisition.
An evaluation was done to estimate the payback period should the City choose to
proceed with the acquisition. The payback periods for the three utility systems is
estimated between 11 and 12 years under the current City’s water rates. The
adequacy of the payback period is a City decision and may impact the City’s
determination of the final purchase price.
Page 89
1/28/16
Page 3 of 3
Other factors that may impact the City’s decision to acquire the Barbara Ann
Acres, Silver Oaks, and the Lakewood Villas utility systems include the potential
to extend sanitary sewer service into these neighborhoods in the future, the desire
to provide a necessary service to residents of the City, i.e. the delivery of quality
water, and the potential to provide improved fire protection in the future to the
Lakewood Villas community by installing fire hydrants.
Should you have any questions regarding the utility valuations for the Barbara
Ann Acres, the Silver Oaks, or the Lakewood Villas utility systems, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
McKim & Creed, Inc.
