Call to Order - Roll Call
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Rob Marlowe at 5:00 pm. Those in attendance were Deputy Mayor
Bill Phillips, Councilman Chopper Davis, and Councilwoman Judy DeBella Thomas. Councilman Jeff
Starkey was excused.
Also in attendance were City Manager Debbie Manns, City Attorney Joseph Poblick, City Clerk Doreen
Summers, Finance Director Peter Altman, Chief of Police Kim Bogart, Assistant Fire Chief Tim Exline,
Development Director Lisa Fierce, Economic Development Director Mario Iezzoni, Public Works Director
Robert Rivera, Parks and Recreation Director Elaine Smith, and Technology Solutions Director Bryan Weed.
DISCUSSION
ITEMS
2
Residential Rental Housing Inspection Program
City Manager Manns presented a program overview. None coming forward for public comment, Mayor
Marlowe returned the floor to Council. In response to Councilman Davis's query, Assistant Fire Chief Exline
stated that assisted living facilities of less than six residents would be subject to City jurisdiction, whereas
larger entities would be monitored by state agencies.
In response to Deputy Mayor Phillips's query, Ms. Manns stated that approximately 4,000 rental properties
existed within City limits. Mr. Phillips made the following recommendations.
• Determine how to address bank-foreclosed properties
• At least for the first year, examine all City rental properties
• Announce the inspection program to City residents
Page 3
• Give a checklist and a website link to the property owner along with their completed City rental
agreement
• Provide copies of complaints received from property owners to multiple entities: City Attorney, City
Manager, and Development
• Identify non-profit groups that may be able to help rehabilitate properties, e.g., Habitat for Humanity
• Retitle the flyer to state "Exterior Inspection"
In response to Councilwoman DeBella Thomas's query, Ms. Manns stated there was very low compliance
with rental licenses, and that City rental properties could be identified through the property appraiser's office.
Code Enforcement would administer any penalties. Deputy Mayor Phillips agreed with Ms. DeBella Thomas's
suggestion to include special magistrate hearings.
Mayor Marlowe suggested adding oversight regarding mobile home and older-residence crawlspace skirting.
He asked that initial inspections be completed within 12 to 18 months, and suggested considering City-wide
implementation.
Councilman Davis suggested increasing the fee amounts, or taking the case directly to the Special Magistrate
after a failed second follow-up inspection. City Attorney Poblick added that the case could also be referred to
County Court, which would further ensure compliance.
City Manager Manns stated that the program was expected to launch January 1, 2016. Additional suggestions
by Council included educational exterior home improvement classes, hosted by entities such as insurance
companies, Home Depot, and Lowe's at the Recreation and Aquatic Center, not only as stand-alone classes,
but also as part of the upcoming Home Show.

RE:
Playful City USA Community Award
.
727.853.1016
REQUEST:
The request before City Council is to present the 2015 Playful City USA Community Award to the Parks and Recreation
Department.
DISCUSSION:
The City of New Port Richey Parks and Recreation Department has been awarded the 2015 Playful City USA Community
Award for a seventh consecutive year. This is a National Award presented by KaBoom! to recognize the communities that
realize play matters. Play is a crucial factor in the overall well-being of children. Fewer children spend time outside at parks
and playgrounds and at the same time, recess is being shortened or removed from school curriculums. Children who play
are healthier and suffer less obesity and obesity-related health problems. Children who play do better in school and develop
cognitive skills that are linked to learning and academic performance. Children who play learn social skills that help them
become happy and well-adjusted adults. RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is to present the Parks and Recreation Department with the 2015 Playful City USA Community
Award.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

REQUEST:
Tonight we want to recognize and publicly thank Rasmussen College for their donation of 1,077 library materials to the
library.
DISCUSSION:
Tammy Jackson, Campus Director of Rasmussen College – New Port Richey/West Pasco Campus spoke to me in February
about the possibility of the library receiving the Rasmussen College Library materials. On March 20, 2015, Jay Collins,
Elena Dimova and I went to Rasmussen College and packed 30 boxes that contained their library’s collection as well as
materials in their learning lab. I am happy to announce that all 1,077 materials are now processed and in our collection. The Rasmussen Library collection contained newer materials in such subjects as nursing, early childhood education, critical
thinking, leadership, non-profit organizations, criminal justice, information technology, business, and social networks. You
can view the donated items by searching in our online catalog by subject for Rasmussen College.
This donation is of great benefit to our library and the community we serve and has a value of over $40,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Acknowledge and thank Rasmussen College and Tammy Jackson, Campus Director for the donation of library materials to
the library.
This donation of materials valued at over $40,000 has enabled the library to update some areas of the collection that sorely
needed updating.

Architectural Significance and Construction History
The Hacienda Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the
National Park Service on October 24, 1996.
The following descriptions are taken from the nomination application for the
National Register, dated September, 1996, and edited to correct compass points, clarity
of descriptions, and coordinate with the existing conditions as of March 2015.
Summary
In New Port Richey there are several examples of Mediterranean Revival style
buildings, ranging from commercial structures to large villas. All of these were built
during the Florida Land Boom of the 1920’s and are representative of Florida’s rapid
growth and frenetic activity during this period.
Among these, the Hacienda Hotel is significant because it reflects
Thomas Reed Martin’s use of typical Mediterranean Revival style
features for a hotel. Defining features include two large wings that
form a courtyard, stucco wall surfaces, loggias, wrought iron, arched
windows and doors, and balconies. The building is the largest example
of the use of the Mediterranean Revival style in New Port Richey.
Although the building has undergone additions and some modification
to the [north] façade, the building continues to relay its original
architectural integrity, feeling and historic association, and is a landmark in New Port
Richey. In addition, it is the work of Thomas Reed Martin, recognized as one of the
most important Florida architects from 1920 until the 1950’s.
The Hacienda Hotel, located at 5621 Main Street, on the northwest corner of
Main and Bank Streets in New Port Richey, is a 1927, two-story, Mediterranean Revival
style building with a modified H-shaped plan. The building features a variety of
elements that characterize the Mediterranean Revival architectural style. The multivariant roofs are surfaced in red clay tile and the masonry walls are finished with an
adobe stucco veneer. There are two hip roofed towers, balconies and railings of
ornamental iron, wood frame loggias with ornamented posts, as well as verandas.
Fenestration includes single and paired casement windows and paired French doors
with fanlights and side lights. Other notable features include a central courtyard,
arched window and door openings, shaped chimney caps, and pseudo-quoined door
surrounds. The entire building rests on a continuous foundation.
Exterior Description
The Hacienda Hotel has a modified H-shaped
plan formed by a main block on the north and
perpendicular wings on the east and west. (Photo 1)
A design element common to all exterior elevations
of the original building is irregular massing. The
roof of each block is flat with shallow shed roof
perimeters.

Although the west wing has a partial basement that gives it a three-story appearance,
it has the same height as the north block. The roof of the east block, however, is
somewhat lower. (Photo 2)

Original windows were generally metal casements, either single with
three lights or paired with ten lights (all but one have been
replaced). Small ornamental iron balconies, original to the building,
remain projecting from outside walls. (Photos 3 + 4)

A metal fence with short stucco piers and a
central, stucco, arched, gateway runs
between the Photo

side. The gateway leads into a central
courtyard. This wall and gateway were
added circa 1976. (Photo 5) In the
center of the courtyard is a fourtiered, stone fountain, also not
original to the building and was added when the courtyard wall was
constructed. A concrete walkway in the center of the courtyard leads to the
main entrance. Verandas occupy the first story on the courtyard elevations
of the central north and west blocks. (Photo 6)
The main entrance to the hotel is centrally located on the south
veranda of the main block and is accessed from the courtyard by a short flight of
masonry steps immediately behind the fountain. The second story has a loggia
with slender, double, wooden, turned posts and ornamental brackets. A shaped,
stuccoed wing wall is located at each end of the second story loggia. The balustrade
wall built of cmu and stucco at the face of the veranda is not original to the building.
Second story windows are regularly spaced along the east
and west facades of the courtyard.
A decorative stucco tower and stuccoed masonry
stairway are located at the southwest corner of the east
block. The square tower extends about five feet above
the eaves and has a hipped roof.

On the north (rear) elevation of the main block, an arched first story

contains a partial basement used for storage, and mechanical and maintenance
equipment, a 1st floor with offices and a 3rd floor with former residents’ rooms.
Window placement along the first floor on the east block indicates its partial
use as guest rooms; the northernmost end originally served as quarters for hotel
service personnel. Only the east wing was last used for residents’ rooms. They are
accessed from the lobby (Photo 16). The residents’ rooms on each floor flank a central
hallway. Although there has been some modification to the interior, with the
sealing of a few interior arched doorways, the building lobby and dining areas
retains their original ornate plaster work, iron chandeliers and wall sconces,
decorative ceiling beams, and brackets.
Alterations
On the north (rear) elevation, a central, first floor veranda has been
enclosed with a shed roofed frame addition c. 1975. Sided with board and batten
and incorporating a large, fixed glass window the interior of this enclosure has a
large room serving as a library, and various support facilities (Photos 11, 12 + 19 ). A
stuccoed, masonry, two story elevator and stair tower has been added to the north
end of the west block (two story) (Photo 12 ). This addition terminates in a low
pitched, hipped roof surfaced in red clay tile. A similar second stair tower was
also added at the north end of the east block . On the Bank Street elevation,
an original entry with an elaborate plaster and quoined door surround has been
infilled (Photo 10). Also, the iron work and stucco wall at the south of the courtyard
was added circa 1976. (Photo 5)

On Aug. 9, 1925, the St. Petersburg Times reported:
Plans have been set on foot at an enthusiastic meeting of New Port Richeyites
for the construction of a I 00-room fire-proof hotel. Within a few minutes after
the meeting was called to order nearly the entire capital required was
subscribed.
The site selected is overlooking the beautiful Pithlachascotee River,
north of the Gulf high school building, and in the exact center of population.
The site has the further advantage of being located within a short distance of
the proposed station of the West Coast railway, now an assured fact.
The structure will be of the most modern construction and will be
either of Moorish or Spanish type. There will be in the first unit 55 rooms,
elegantly appointed, and each room equipped with private bath. The hotel
grounds will overlook the river for more than 300 feet and are well shaded
with palms and other semi-tropical forest growth and shrubbery.
The estimated cost is $150,000 and the structure will be ready for
opening before the beginning of January.
On Dec. 31, 1925, the St. Petersburg Times reported:
Atelier AEC
Page 23
"An operating company

comprising business men of New Port Richey, Miami, Boston, and New York have
deposited earnest money on a site chosen for a combined hotel and country club
which it is expected will be under construction within sixty days. The new hotel,
according to present designs, will have rooms with baths for 100 guests, and will
be known as "The Hacienda." The architecture will be of morocco-type. It will be
designed in wings, with a spacious terrace in the center."
On March 5, 1926, the New Port Richey Press [reported] that the Civitans had
launched a campaign to raise $100,000 for a $250,000 hotel. The newspaper also
printed a letter from James E. Meighan to Edgar A. Wright, chairman of the hotel
committee, dated March 4, 1926. The letter reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Mayor:Understanding that the city of New Port Richey is desirous of building a
hotel, wish to offer absolutely free and clear, lots one, two, three, eleven,
twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen ... and ... sixteen, Block three of Port Richey
Company's sub-division to New Port Richey-same facing one hundred and
fifty feet on Main street, back two hundred and thirty feet on Riverside
place-and having a running frontage of one hundred and fitly feet on Sims
Park.
This offer is unrestricted, the only condition being that a hotel consisting of
not less than sixty (60) rooms exclusive of apartments be erected according
to plans acceptable to your hotel committee and starting not less than six (6)
months from date.
This proposition will remain open for thirty (30) days.
Very truly yours,
JAMES E. MEIGHAN (Photo 20)
The March 15, 1926, New Port Richey Press listed the officers and directors of
Community Hotel, Inc. (to be incorporated). Officers: Charles De Woody,
president; Edgar A. Wright, vice-president; James E. Meighan, second vicepresident; Charles F. Hoffman, secretary; Charles W. Barnett, treasurer. Directors:

On March 15, 1926, the New Port Richey Press reported, "Today marks the
beginning of the actual campaign to build New P01i Richey's proposed new modem
hotel. ... A comprehensive plan of campaign has been devised by a general
committee of citizens and a temporary board of directors elected for the purpose
of obtaining a state charter to operate a hotel such as the one proposed in New
Port Richey.
10
On March 19, 1926, the New Port Richey Press reported:
The drive for $100,000 to insure construction of New Port Richey's
quarter of a million dollar hotel, to be erected on a site donated by James E.
Meighan, on Main S treet, was two-thirds completed last night, when a
summation of the subscriptions showed that more than $64,000 had been
signed for in four days.
It is predicted that the drive will have been successfully consummated
within a week, and that building plans will be entered into at once. The fact
that New Port Richey realizes the need of a hotel such as the one
contemplated has been clearly exemplified in the total of the subscriptions
thus far, despite the stringency of the local money market.
There is still the necessity of raising more than $35,000, to make the
total count $100,000 but scores of prospects (persons with the interest of
New Port Richey at heart) arc yet to be heard from.
Unofficial tabulations from drive headquarters in the chamber of
commerce building show that one hundred and nine persons have subscribed
for the hotel stock, and that only four subscriptions for amounts as great as
$5,000 have been received.
An energetic committee of drive workers, headed by Walter K. Jahn
and under the personal direction of Dr. Hunt and Charles Snell will continue
to ply their public-spirited trade of solicitation until the necessary amount is
raised.
Wilfred Neill wrote in a 1974 newspaper column, "The corporation issued 2,500 shares
of preferred stock at $100 each, par. It also issued 2,500 shares of common stock, with a
nominal value of$20 each. On March 15 a drive was begun, and by March 19, two-thirds
of the necessary money had been raised."
On the night of May 25-26, 1926, the Enchantment Inn, New Port Richey's major hotel,
was destroyed by fire. (The hotel had also been known as the Inn and the Sass Hotel.)
On June 4, 1926, the New Port Richey Press reported:
At a meeting of the board of directors of the proposed Community
Hotel held Wednesday, final acceptance was made of plans submitted by
Thomas Reed Martin of Sarasota for architectural designs of the exterior and
interior of the building.
Architect Martin submitted to the board complete specifications of
every room of the new structure, and it was decided at the meeting that the
hotel can be built as planned at a cost not to exceed $100,000 for the first unit.
The plans call for a modem, fifty-room hotel of extreme Spanish design,
equipped with a steam-heating plant and comfortably furnished throughout.
Several unique features of design are planned for the hotel. It will have an
open-air dining room, for one thing, and the patio-effect of the dining place will
be bordered by palms. The dining room and lobby will be beamed in Spanish
Atelier AEC

grille fashion. Paintings of the lobby and main dining room interiors are on
display at the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
A name for the hotel has not yet been decided.
On July 23, 1926, the Tarpon Springs Leader reported, “The new talked of hotel is not a
dream for on Thursday just before the ball game July 15, steps were taken to prove that
the dream will be a reality. Mr. Warren E. Burns at that time with a gold shovel turned
the first spade full of earth on the Hotel site. Mr. M. A. Fullington was made a director."
On Aug. 12, 1926, the St. Petersburg Evening Independent reported,
"Ground was broken yesterday for the New Port Richey community hotel.
This building is being erected by the Burns-Becker company of that city,
for the New Port Richey Hotel association. The movement was sponsored
by the Civitan club. The hotel will be built of hollow tile, stucco finish, and
will contain 50 rooms." (Photo 21)
A September 1926 newspaper article referred to the new Community
Hotel, and quoted Oliver LeMay, supervisor of construction, as saying that
he hoped construction would be completed by New Year's Day.
On Nov. 8, 1926, the board of directors voted to name the hotel "The
Hacienda."
On Nov. 13, 1926, the new hotel was formally christened "The Hacienda."
The speaker for the ceremony was the famous comedian and actor Ed
Wynn, who expressed his great pleasure at being in "the most beautiful
city imaginable."
[Cite your source

On Dec. 9, 1926, the Tampa Morning Tribune reported, "The Hacienda is
being financed by local capital and there are more than 50 stockholders.
Warren E. Burns and associates assuming $45,000 of the total of
$100,000 .... The site was donated by James Meighan, brother of Thomas
Meighan, the moving picture star."
According to a 1974 article by Wilfred Neill, about $30,000 worth of furnishings were
bought from the Tampa Hardware Co. on Dec. I0, 1926.
A 1927 Tampa Tribune article reported that the hotel cost $100,000
and furnishings cost an additional $30,000. The Tribune article also
stated, "The building was erected, furnished and received its first
guests in 184 days from the day of the breaking of the ground, a
record in itself in rapid high grade construction." (Photo 22)
On Jan. 14, 1927, the New Port Richey Press reported that Arthur A.
Boardman would manage the hotel. Bennett Mallard was assistant
manager, and A. R. Poole and James Tiffany were also on the staff.

The informal opening of the Hacienda Hotel took place on Feb. 5, 1927, when the first
guests were welcomed, dinner was served, and the hotel was thrown open for
inspection. Eight hundred persons attended, according to the New Port Richey Press,
which reported, "The outpouring of citizens was the largest since New Port
Richey was settled."
The formal opening of the Hacienda took place on Feb. 17, 1927. The New Port Richey
Press reported that more than 120 persons attended the event sponsored by the City
Club of New Port Richey. Charles F. Hoffman, President of the City Club, was the
toastmaster, and the speakers were New Port Richey Mayor Edgar A. Wright, Charles
E. DeWoody, Dr. W. W. Hunt, and C. W. Lyons of Tampa.
The New Port Richey Press carried a photo of the Hacienda in 1930 with the caption:
"Here were assembled at various times some of the most famous living celebrities of
stage and screen, including Thomas Meighan, Leon Errol, Madeline Cameron, Frances
Ring, Flora Zabelle, and numerous others as well as such noted writers as Bob Davis,
George Ade, Ring Lardner, Hal W. Lanigan and others. Gay parties from St. Petersburg,
Tampa, Clearwater and other cities motored here to enjoy the delightful atmosphere
of this 'Bit of Old Spain Amid the Palms."' Others who stayed at the Hacienda in the
1920s, 1930s, and 1940s were Mrs. Arthur Hammerstein (formerly known as the
actress Dorothy Dalton); songwriter Walter Donaldson; attorney Clarence Darrow; W.
J. Wells, general manager of Macy's and President of the Retail Managers
Association of the U.S.; and Frank Case, owner-operator of the Algonquin Hotel in
New York and a writer. Pauline Stevenson Ash wrote that when she was a student at
Gulf High School, she and some other students saw Gloria Swanson at the Hacienda.
A newspaper advertisement on Aug. 15, 1933, showed that the Hacienda was under
the same management as the Hotel DeSoto in Tampa and the Tybee Hotel in
Savannah Beach, Ga.
In 1935 the Community Hotel Corporation sold the Hacienda to Robert Holmes
Sr., whose sons Gray and Robert Jr., managed it.
On Nov. I, 1935, the New Port Richey Press reported that Gray Holmes and his
brother Robert Holmes Jr. had recently taken over the operation of the Hacienda
and expected to open for the season on November 15. Italso reported that Gray
Holmes had been operating a first class hotel in Douglas, Ga., for the past several
years, and that Robert Holmes Jr. had had charge of the DeSota hotel in Tampa
recently. The article also reported, "The hotel has been under the management of
Major H. Stanford for the past several years. Major Stanford left last Spring to
operate the Feny Tavern, at Old Isle (?), Conn."
On January 25, I 938, the New Port Richey Press reported: "Thirty-three guests were
registered Tuesday at the Hacienda, New Pmt Richey fine hotel, indicating greater
travel through this section. Many of those registered will remain for some time in
this section."

On Nov. I4, I944, the New Port Richey Press reported that the Hacienda Hotel had
been sold the previous week to Rev. Dr. William T. Watson of St. Petersburg. The
article reported that Watson was "a leader in religious work in St. Petersburg." It also
reported, "Owing to war conditions the hotel has not been operated to full capacity
in the past three years." Watson was the founder of the Florida Bible Institute at
Temple Terrace.
In a recent letter to Bill W. Lampher, President of Trinity College, Dr. Watson's son
recalled that his father purchased several hotels which he thought might be a good
location for the Florida Bible College, one of which was the Hacienda. He wrote,
"However, the town of New Port Richey did not want to lose their only hotel. We
operated it as a hotel with no official connection to the school, of which I am
aware. The school did hold their annual end of the year Banquets there."
[It is claimed that evangelist Billy Graham worked as a waiter at the Hacienda
while he was attending Bible College. However, according to his biography he
actually worked as a waiter at the restaurant on the campus of Florida Bible
Institute in Tampa, which he attended from 1937 to I940. In I969, Graham
recalled that in I937 while attending Temple Terrace Independent Bible School
in Tampa, his first recreational trip and picnic was to New Port Richey.]
In 1950 Watson sold the hotel to Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Schuldt, formerly of Omaha.
In 1951 Schuldt sold the hotel to Mr. and Mrs. Morris Gates, who had operated
the Delaware Towers at Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Merkatz, who had
operated the Royal Inn at Woodbourne, N.Y.
In November 1953 the hotel was purchased by Mrs. Maxine G. Stein, formerly of
Chicago.
On Dec. 24, 1953, the New Port Richey Press reported, "Currently plans are being
prepared for the construction of a 75 foot swimming pool, a crescent drive from
which a canopy covered walk will lead to the new Main Street entrance."
The newly furnished and redecorated Hacienda Hotel opened on Dec. 29, 1953. Ray
Miller was the manager.
On June 5, 1954, the St. Petersburg Times reported: "TAMPA- A Chicago man filed
suit in Federal Court here yesterday asking appointment of a receiver for the
Hacienda Hotel at New Port Richey, its sale and dissolution of the owners'
partnership. The plaintiff, Raymond Miller, named Maxine G. Stein of New Port
Richey as defendant. Miller said they each bought half-interest in the hotel in 1953.
He alleged she agreed to pay him $20,000 for his half last February, but that she paid
only $5,000. Miller said he is due $I5,000 under that agreement and $5,500 spent for

repairs.
On Mar. 17, 1955, a New Port Richey Press article named Mrs. Maxine Strompsen of
the Hacienda Hotel.
On Sept. 25, I 955, the New Port Richey Press reported that the hotel was sold by
Mrs. Maxine Stromson to Mrs. Francis Supic, formerly of Milwaukee, and that it
would reopen on Oct. I with Mrs. Supic's son Karl J. Gabriel as manager.
On Mar. 26, 1959, the New Port Richey Press reported:
Robert Semple, former manager of Pinellas Poultry Co. of Clearwater,
recently became the new owner and manager of the Hacienda Hotel.
The Hacienda was purchased by Mr. Semple from Mrs. Frances Supic,
who owned the hotel for approximately 3\1, years. The new owner
anticipates that a corporation will be formed in the near future.... He is
being aided in the Hacienda operation by his wife, Jean Marie. Mr.
Semple informs the Press that he will welcome any suggestions from
the people of New Port Richey in order that he may make the facilities
of the establishment, including the dining room and cocktail lounge, as
attractive as possible. He has enlisted the aid of a new chef, Henry
Weber, to enhance the food policy of the dining room. Mr. Weber has
a vast background of experience in Florida restaurants, including the
Ft. Harrison Hotel dining room in Clearwater.
The hotel staged a gala re-opening on Oct. 3, 1959, following improvements which
were made during the summer months.
On May 12, 1960, the New Port Richey Press reported that manager Robert Semple
planned to construct a large swimming pool to be financed by sale of memberships.
Use of the pool would be restricted to members and hotel guests.
On May 28, 1964, the New Port Richey Press reported, "Announcement was made
last week of the appointment of Roy Benedict as manager of Hotel Hacienda, his
duties encompassing supervision of all departments of the operation. He replaces
Robert Semple, manager for the past five years, who left with Mrs. Semple and their
infant daughter for an indefinite vacation."
At some point, Semple sold his share of the ownership of the hotel to Des Little,
according to the recollection of Semple's son Bill.
On Oct. 12, 1967, the New Port Richey Press wrote, "It is our understanding that Des
Little holds the controlling stock, if not all of the Hacienda Hotel, where he has
recently made many improvements in the interior, and has other interests in various
projects."

On October 24, 1974, the fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of New Port
Richey was celebrated with a dinner at the Hacienda Hotel. The menu-turkey,
cornbread, corn, and all the trimmings-duplicated the one that was served to
celebrate the opening of the Hacienda.
In 1974 Jacqueline A. and Michael N. Battista purchased the hotel.
Several years later New Port Richey real estate agent E. Ed Smith filed suit to
foreclose on the hotel after the couple had failed to make mortgage payments.
On July 26, 1985, the St. Petersburg Times reported that Gulf Coast Jewish Family
Services Inc. had selected the Hacienda Hotel as the site of Florida's first "House for
Special Services," and that the Hacienda was expected to close its doors after 60
years in the hotel business. The article referred to Michael Battista as the owner of
the hotel.
On May 30, 1986, Florida Governor Bob Graham visited New Port Richey to help
dedicate the Hacienda Home for Special Services.
On Aug. 6, 1986, the Harry L. Green Hacienda Home for Special Services, operated
by Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services, opened in the former Hacienda Hotel. The
program was initially described an ACLF for persons 18 and older who were free of
acute conditions or infectious diseases. More recently, the facility was described as a
75-bed home for elderly persons with mental disabilities.
Oct. 24, 1996, the Hacienda Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic
Places.
On Aug. 12, 2003, the New Port Richey City Council voted to purchase the Hacienda
Hotel from Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services for $2.2 million. The city subsequently
leased the facility to that organization while it arranged relocation of the residents.
In May 2006 New Pott Richey City Manager Scott Miller reported that Gulf Coast
Jewish Family Services would vacate the premises by June l.
In 2012 the city abandoned a five-year relationship with Community Development
Partners, which had planned to improve the facility but never followed through on
its proposals. On Jan. 12, 2013, about 400 local residents turned out to volunteer to
clean up the building.
In 2014 the state legislature allocated $1
million toward restoration of the Hacienda,
and New Port Richey city council chose Florida
Motel Inc. as the developer to renovate the
building. (Photo 23)

Existing Floor Plans
The drawings immediately following in this Section are two drawings, of both the first
and second floors, that are a composite of the historic (as much as can be determined),
modified (circa 1987 and 1995) and the presently proposed rehabilitation.
Existing Measured Drawings of the “as-is” existing building, including plans, elevations
sections and structural framing plans, have been included under Section 7 of this
Report.
2.3
Proposed Uses
It is the intention of the City of New Port Richey to work with a development team that
will restore the exterior façade of the building back to its original 1926 configuration, by
removing a non-conforming addition to the north elevation that was constructed circa
1959 and 1985. Thereby the original open veranda facing Sims Park will be returned,
along with two balconies that were removed to accommodate the 1985 addition of the
stair towers. Additionally, the proposed rehabilitation will restore the original Bank
Street main entrance in the east wing.
Interior work within the building will maintain the historic Main Lobby, Dining Room and
Kitchen areas, including reconstruction of the historic grand staircase in the Main Lobby,
while modifying the former residents’ rooms (during its term as a mental health facility
from 1985 to 2002) to accommodate 30 remodeled hotel guest rooms on the 1st and 2nd
floors in the east and west wings and on the 2nd floor of the north wing. The 1st floor of
the west wing shows an alternate option of a spa facility for use by both hotel guests
and the public in lieu of hotel rooms.
The proposed use returns the functioning of the building back to its original historic use
as a hotel, and returns the integrity of the exterior façade and the interior spaces.
Schematic Design Drawings depicting the proposed use rehabilitation are included
under Section 7.0.

SITE
Description:
The Historic Hacienda
Hotel, and the property located within its
legal description, is sited in the
southwest corner of the larger property
known as Sims Park, immediately to the
east of the Pithlachascotee River, at the
corner of Main and Banks Streets, with
the courtyard façade of the building
facing Main Street. Westerly and
northerly views from the Hacienda Hotel
face toward Sims Park and the
Pithlachascotee River.
Landscaping Features within the
property lines are very limited, comprising ten (10) palm trees along the east face of the
building within the planter edged by a stucco faced concrete block wall, approximately
24 inches high (Photo 24) and six (6) palm
trees along the
south face of
the east wing
(Photo 25).
These trees
range in
diameter from
6 inches to 15

appear in original historic photographs and was a later addition, sometime after 1976.
The Courtyard is enclosed by a 6 foot (+/-) stucco faced shaped concrete wall,
interrupted by decorative black wrought iron grilles and a double-leaf black wrought
iron gate. This wall was also not original to the historic building, but was also added
sometime after 1976 (Photo 5). The
Courtyard landscaping is primarily lawn,
with a few trees and bushes within.
The building’s primary fire
suppression system backflow preventer is
located along the Main Street sidewalk,
approximately at the center of the property,
within a raised concrete planter box, which
also contains some low palmetto bushes and
a ground sign for the Hotel. (Photo 27)

Evaluation
Landscaping is very minimal and would need to be
augmented to provide a more tropical lush environment that would
speak to not only its park-side location but also to depict the lush
context depicted in historical photographs. (Photos 30 +31)
The Parking and Driveway areas appear to be good
condition, without potholes or severe cracks. Striping is clearly
indicated. However, to keep the City’s mandate to return the lawns
to their historic configuration on both the north and south, several
parking spaces will need to be removed as indicated below.

Recommendation
The historic photographs of the building show
the building completely surrounded by lawn on both the north and
south. The Main Street façade is the primary “public face” of the
building toward Main Street and the lawn should be restored and the
grounds lushly landscaped. The Developer has arranged a lease
with the City for dedicated parking spaces immediately across Bank
Street to the east. The Developer has requested that a pool facility
be added to the grounds. This pool should absolutely be contained
within the area of the courtyard as shown on the proposed design
site plan, Sheet 1SP included under Tab 2, Proposed Uses, and NOT
be located outside the courtyard wall.

FOUNDATION
Description
Note: Photos for this Section immediately follow the narrative, on pages 26-29 and are
courtesy of George Mohan, Structural Engineer.
The foundation system consists of concrete stemwalls (Photo S1) supporting multiwythe brick/clay tile exterior walls supported on shallow continuous wall footings. The
continuous wall footings are not typically visible. The top of footings were uncovered by
hand at several locations, and determined to be slightly below the grade elevation
within the crawl space. The footings edge projects approximately 3”-4” from face of the
concrete stemwall. The depth is unknown. Concrete pedestals and shallow spread
footings (Photo S2) support the First Floor wood-frame construction above the crawl
space. The concrete pedestals are either 8” x 12” or 8” x 16”, and bear on footings that
are exposed at most locations (Photo S3).
Basement walls at the West wing of the building are constructed with concrete.
Evaluation
A Geotechnical Exploration for the site has been prepared by Universal Engineering
Sciences, dated August 1, 2014. The report indicates typical soil conditions and
foundation requirements for the area. Spread footings designed for a soil bearing
capacity of 2,000 PSF are recommended. Minimum footing sizes of 24” width for
continuous wall footings and 36” width for isolated column footings are recommended,
in addition to a minimum footing embedment of 24” below grade, in order to obtain the
desired safety factor of (2) against bearing capacity failure. The continuous wall footing
extents were not exposed or readily accessible. Based on the portions that were
uncovered, it is unlikely that the existing footings and embedments are constructed
within the parameters of the report. However, while there is some cracking within the
building, there are no signs of excessive foundation settlement as the primary cause.
There are areas of damage to the foundation walls, including cracking, spalling, and
rebar delamination. These areas appear to be isolated to the walls of the crawl space
below the kitchen (Photos S4 – S5), as well as at the base of some of the basement walls
at the south end of the West wing (Photos S7 – S8). There was a limited area of damage
at the foundation wall of the East wing (Photo S6). The damaged concrete appears to
be the result of moisture penetration and rebar corrosion.
With the exception of the damaged concrete areas, the footings and foundation walls
appeared to be in good condition.
The Geotechnical Exploration also indicates the possibility of sinkhole potential within
the building and pavement areas, but no more than average for the area.
Recommendations are specified in the report to minimize sinkhole potential.
Atelier AEC
Page 38
24
The report also suggested a remedial slurry grouting procedure to further minimize
future sinkhole development if desired.
Recommendation
Spalled and damaged concrete at the foundation walls must be removed and repaired.
The procedure for repairing damaged concrete is as follows:






Saw-cut edge of affected area using a straight-edged regular shape pattern
(1/2” maximum depth). Chip all loose and deteriorated concrete to sound
concrete. Concrete removal shall extend along the reinforcing bars to an extent
where the bar is well-bonded to the surrounding concrete.
Remove all rust and loose concrete from the rebar.
Build out the patch area as required to provide a minimum of 3/4” concrete
cover around the existing rebar in entirety.
Coat exposed steel with manufacturer-recommended anti-corrosion and
bonding agent.
Pour back excavated area with flowable aggregate extended repair mortar.
Notify the Engineer for further evaluation if rebar is damaged during concrete
removal or if excessive cross-sectional area of rebar has been lost due to
corrosion (20% or more).
Based on visible areas of footings and foundation walls, no footing remediation to the
continuous wall footings or isolated spread footings is warranted. There is no indication
of either local or global overstress and the footings appear to be performing
satisfactorily. However, the footings at the foundation walls requiring concrete repair
should be further investigated in the unlikely event that footing repairs are also
required.
As indicated in the Geotechnical Report, effort to minimize sinkhole potential should
include minimizing any concentrated discharge waters in the areas adjacent to the
building. Also, grade or pavement immediately adjacent to the exterior building
foundations should be sloped to drain water away from the building.
If desired, a remedial slurry grout procedure could also be implemented to further
minimize the potential for sinkhole development. However, this does not seem
warranted based on the findings in the Geotechnical Report.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
General Structural System
Note: Photos for this Section immediately follow the narrative, on pages 37-51 and are
courtesy of George Mohan, Structural Engineer.
Limitations:
Information used in the preparation of the Assessment was based on visual
observations of accessible areas of structure. Some discrepancies are likely to occur
within concealed spaces.
No specific observation and/or testing was performed with respect to wood-destroying
insects or other types of pests or vermin. No testing, either destructive or nondestructive, was performed. Existing structural drawings were not available.
A Condition Assessment Report, dated March 20, 2014, was previously prepared by
McKim & Creed, Inc. Some information from that report has been utilized in this
Assessment.
Building Description:
The existing building is a (2)-story, U-shaped building, with a partial basement level at
the South end of the West wing. The U-shaped building configuration is comprised of
an East wing and a West wing, connected at the North end by the Ballroom (and
residential units above). The Wings are separated by a gated exterior Courtyard, leading
to the covered Porch at the Ballroom entry. It is our understanding that the building
was originally constructed and operated as a Hotel. It was last used as an Assisted Living
Facility, and has been vacant since 2005.
Construction is comprised of conventional wood-frame roof framing and floor framing,
with exterior multi-wythe brick/clay tile walls and interior load-bearing wood-frame
walls. The exterior walls are supported by the concrete foundation walls and footings as
indicated in Section 3.2. The interior walls are supported by joists and beams that are
ultimately supported by the concrete piers and isolated footings indicated in Section
3.2. There is no connection of the wood beams to the concrete piers.
Roof Framing (Reference Sheet S2.3, Section 7, Existing Measured Drawings)
Description
The main, U-shaped building is constructed with a flat center portion, with sloped sides
towards the perimeter walls. The flat center area is covered with a built-up roofing
material, and is sloped to interior drains (Photo S9). The sloped sides are covered with
concrete roof tiles (Photos S10, S11). Some broken tiles were observed.
Atelier AEC
Page 44
30




The flat roof framing is constructed with 2x10 wood joists spaced at approximately
16”-18” on center (Photos S12-S15). The joists are supported by 2x4 studs,
supported by the load-bearing corridor walls and ceiling joists.
The sloped roof framing is constructed with 2x6 sloped rafters spaced at
approximately 16”-18” on center (Photos S15-S17). The rafters are “birdmouth”-cut
to bear on a single 2x bearing plate at the exterior wall.
The roof decking at the flat and sloped areas is constructed with 1x8 decking, with
plywood used in same area. It appears that the plywood was used to repair
previously-damaged areas.
The sloped roof framing over the North Balcony and South Balcony is constructed
with 4x6 sloped rafters at approximately 18” on center.
Evaluation
In general, the Roof Framing appears to be in fair condition, with limited areas in poor
condition due to water damage and wood-destroying insect damage. The majority of
the damage observed was limited to the South Balcony (Photos S18-S20) and North
Balcony (Photos S21-S23), with damage particularly extensive at the South Balcony. In
addition, there was extensive damage at the roof valley areas where the East wing and
West wing intersect the South end of the North core area. Water and insect damage
was also observed at limited areas throughout the Building. However, not all areas
were visible for observation.
All wood connections are nailed, either in shear or toe-nailed. No connection hardware
was observed (Photos S12-S23). As this is a Historical Building, it is not required to meet
current Code requirements for wind loads. The Building was constructed in a time
period when Codes were in their infancy, and wind loads were not taken into strict
consideration. The current framing connections would resist some Wind uplift and
lateral loading, but would likely fail at a wind speed considerably less than that
generated from a hurricane.
The Roof Framing system appeared to be somewhat disjointed, with interruptions for
plumbing and/or HVAC (Photo S24).
Recommendation
The North Balcony and South Balcony will require extensive repair. All water-damaged
and insect-damaged roof deck, rafters, and beams should be replaced, and all members
properly fastened with connection hardware to resist wind loads. Existing beams should
be fastened to columns, and columns should be properly fastened to slabs.
In order to act as a System and safely resist wind forces even in a non-hurricane event,
the existing roof framing members should be fastened with connection hardware to
resist Wind uplift and lateral loads. Rafters should be fastened to plates and studs;
Atelier AEC
Page 45
31
studs should be fastened to plates and joists; and plates should be fastened to joists and
walls. Hurricane clips, such as Simpson H3 or H4, should be added at all connection
locations that are not shear-nailed. In addition, the wood plates above the exterior
brick/clay tile walls and interior stud wall should be properly fastened to the substrate
below with Tapcon Screws and wood screws respectively, or fastened with connection
hardware.
A termite inspection and treatment of all affected areas should be performed. This may
result in additional repair requirements.
Second Floor Framing (Reference Sheet S3.2, Section 7, Existing Measured Drawings)
Description
The Second Floor framing is constructed with 2x10 joists at approximately 18” O.C. At
the East and West wings, the joist span from the exterior brick/clay tile walls to the
interior corridor walls below. Above the Ballroom and Dining Room areas, where there
are no corridor walls below, the joists are supported by steel beams, approximately 20”
deep, which span approximately 34 feet clear from exterior wall to exterior wall (Photo
S25). It is unclear if the walls at the East end (Photo S32) and West end (Photo S33) of
the Ballroom are load-bearing, or encompass steel beams above. Based on the First
Floor framing and Foundations, it is assumed that only the East wall is load-bearing.
This should be verified with additional demolition. In addition, it is unclear if additional
beams are in place within the floor joist framing to support the load-bearing corridor
walls above. This should be verified with selective demolition. Above the Kitchen, 2x10
joists at approximately 16” O.C. are supported by an intermediate steel beam,
approximately 17-7/8” deep (Photo S26-S27). There are no visible beams above the
Kitchen to support the load-bearing Corridor walls above (Photos S27).
Extensive Damage was observed to the concrete beam and exterior wall above at the
Southeast end of the East wing, adjacent to the exterior concrete slab utilized as a fireexit (Photos S28-S31).
Evaluation
In general, the Second Floor framing appears to be in good condition, with limited areas
in poor condition due to water-damage and wood-destroying insect damage. Some
floor drops were observed, and cracked plaster finishes were observed in numerous
locations at the interior wood-frame walls, both load-bearing and non-bearing. These
are likely due to long-term settlement of the wood framing. However, these areas are
somewhat limited and isolated, with the exception of the floor drop at the South end of
the West Wing, which should be further investigated.
Atelier AEC
Page 46
32
Preliminary analysis of the steel beams over the Ballroom and Dining Room indicate that
the beams may not be adequate to support the load requirements for the current Code.
However, current Code loading is not a requirement for this Building and the beams are
not what would be considered dangerously overstressed. The beams appear to be
functioning adequately, as there was no significant deflection visible, and no wall cracks
or floor sag in the immediate area of the steel beams due to excessive beam deflection.
The damaged concrete beams at the South end of the East Wing should be temporarily
shored and properly repaired.
Recommendation
All water-damaged and insect-damaged floor joists and decking should be replaced.
These areas are very limited.
It is our opinion that the steel beams are functioning adequately and are not
dangerously overstressed utilizing load requirements from the current Code. No
remediation of the steel beam is warranted. However, the wood beams between the
steel beams, supporting the load-bearing corridor walls above, should be verified and
remediated as necessary, with the addition of additional plies or with bolted steel flitch
plates.
The damaged concrete beam must be properly repaired. Procedures for repair of
spalled and damaged concrete were previously provided in Section 3.2.
First Floor Framing (Reference Sheet S3.2, Section 7, Existing Measured Drawings)
Description
The First Floor framing is constructed with 2x8 joists at approximately 18” o.c., spanning
from the exterior brick/clay tile walls to a series of beams supported by the Piers and
Footings indicated in Section 3.2.



Atelier AEC
Page 47
At the East wing, the beams are (3) 2x8’s below the load-bearing corridor walls, and
(2) 2x8’s approximately centered between the interior corridor walls and the
exterior brick/clay tile walls.
At the Ballroom and Dining Room areas, the beam rows are approximately equally
spaced at 1/4 span with (3) 2x8’s at the center row, and (2) 2x8’s at the other (2)
rows.
At the Kitchen, the beams rows are approximately equally spaced at 1/4 span, with
(2) 2x8’s at each row.
33


At the South end of the West wing, above the Basement level, framing is
constructed with 2x8 joists at approximately 18” o.c. supported by the exterior brick
clay tile walls and by wood beams supported by a series of 8”x8” timber columns. It
was unclear if additional beams are in place within the floor joist framing below the
load-bearing corridor walls above. This should be verified with selective demolition.
The area above the Boiler Room in the Basement is a poured concrete slab with
intermediate concrete beams. One of the beams is cracked and spalled (Photo S34).
Evaluation
In general, the First Floor framing appears to be in good condition, with limited areas in
poor condition due to water damage and wood-destroying insect damage. Some floor
drops were observed in numerous locations at the interior wood-frame walls, both loadbearing and non-bearing. These are likely due to long-term settlement of the wood
framing. However, these areas are somewhat limited and isolated.
The damaged concrete beam above the Boiler Room should be properly repaired.
Recommendation
All water-damaged and insect-damaged floor joists and decking should be replaced.
These areas are very limited.
The damaged concrete beams must be properly repaired. Procedures for repair of
spalled and damaged concrete were previously provided in Section 3.2.
Wood beams should be verified below all load-bearing corridor walls above, and
remediated as necessary, with the addition of additional plies or with bolted steel flitch
plates.
Exterior Walls
Description
The exterior walls are constructed with a combination of brick and clay tiles, over a
concrete stemwall within the crawl space below the First Floor framing. The wall
progressively decreases in thickness at each level, starting at 12” at the crawl space and
First Floor, decreasing to 8” above the Second Floor. The joists appear to bear on the
projected width of wall at the interior face.
Evaluation
In general, the exterior walls appear to be in good condition. Of some concern, this wall
system has very little bending capacity due to a lack of tensile reinforcing, and would
not likely meet current Code requirements for Wind loads. However, as previously
Atelier AEC
Page 48
34
noted, this Building is not required to meet current Code requirements. In addition, this
construction is utilized on Historic and older structures throughout Florida, and
specifically within the Pasco County, Pinellas County, and Hillsborough County areas.
The construction system has successfully resisted moderate Wind loads for significantly
taller structures.
Recommendation
Based on visible areas of wall, significant remediation to the exterior wall structure is
not warranted. No wall bulges or excessive deflections were observed, and no excessive
cracking was observed in the unique exterior stucco finish. Some cracks were observed
in the interior wall finishes, but these were predominantly due to moisture penetration.
Localized finish cracks and wall damage should be repaired, and the walls sealed to
prevent future moisture penetration.
Interior Walls
Description
Wood-framed walls throughout are constructed with 2x4 studs at 16” O.C. typical, and
finished with lath (metal or wood) and plaster. There is a continuous bottom plate, with
a double top plate at load-bearing walls.
Evaluation:
In general, the interior walls appear to be in good condition. Some finish cracking was
observed, but these appear to be the result of some localized settlement of the woodframe system.
Recommendation:
Based on visible areas of wall, significant remediation to the interior wall structure is not
warranted. No wall bulges or excessive deflections were observed, and no excessive
cracking was observed in the finishes. Localized finish cracks and wall damage should be
repaired.
Building Stability
Description
Building stability to resist Wind lateral loads (combined with Wind uplift) is
accomplished by transferring the lateral loads from the exposed roof and walls into
shearwalls perpendicular to the direction of the lateral Wind load. The loads are
transmitted from the roof and wall into the Roof diaphragm (Roof decking/framing) and
Floor diaphragm (Floor decking/framing) at each respective level, then transferred from
the diaphragm into the shearwalls at each level. These shearwall forces are then
distributed into the Foundation system.
Atelier AEC
Page 49
35
Evaluation
As previously noted, the Roof Framing system is toe-nailed to a wood plate at the top of
the exterior walls. The ability to transfer lateral load is negligible, particularly in
combination with Wind uplift. Therefore, connection hardware was previously
recommended to increase the Wind lateral load resistance and Wind uplift resistance.
The diaphragm capacity at the Floor Levels is dependent upon the connection of the
diaphragm to the shearwalls and exterior walls. Where visible, particularly at the crawl
space area, it appeared that there was no connection of the diaphragm to the exterior
shearwalls. A joist was typically located adjacent to the shearwalls, and no mechanical
connection was observed. The floor joists typically bear on a protruding extension of the
exterior wall, and may possibly extent into the wall. Either way, the joist connection
capacity for tension is minimal, and the joist connection capacity for shear is minimal
unless significantly pocketed into the wall and grouted solid at each location.
As previously noted, the first floor beams are not fastened to the foundation piers
within the crawl space. These beams should be properly fastened in order to transfer
some of the lateral loads into these piers and footings, and to provide additional uplift
capacity for the entire Building system.
Recommendation
As previously noted, connection hardware must be added at the Roof level in order for
the framing to act as a system. This will also ensure that the lateral wind loads are
properly transmitted. In addition, end joists should be properly fastened to the exterior
brick/clay tile walls and interior walls, where applicable. This can be accomplished with
Tapcon screws or adhesive anchors suitable for the wall material. Blocking the joists
tight to the wall at all fasteners may be required. It is also recommended that joist
bearing ends are properly fastened to the exterior walls, in order to transmit tensile and
shear forces. This can be accomplished with additional wood blocking between the joist
members at select locations, fastened to the wall with Tapcon screws or adhesive
anchors, and/or with direct fastening of the joists to the wall with framing clips
(Simpson HGAM10) or tension ties (Simpson HTT4). The blocking and connections
would be need to be designed to meet the calculated tension and shear forces.
The first floor beams should be fastened to the foundation piers with a minimum of (4)
Simpson HTSM20 twist steps (2-each face), or suitable alternate fastening.
Due to the construction materials of the exterior walls, it is recommended to leave in
place as many of the existing interior partition walls as possible. Even non-bearing
frame walls with plaster finishes will provide same contribution to the exterior wall
capacity and overall building stability.

Loggias/Verandas grace both the north and south elevations (Photo 36)
of the central northern block, with open verandas on the ground floor
and covered loggias on the 2nd floor. Ground floor verandas are equally
spaced arched bays: five (5) bays on the south façade, four (4) bays on
the west wing facing the Courtyard and 4 bays on the north (original
historic construction); 2nd floor loggias are covered with sloped clay tile
roofs supported by double wood columns spaced at each arch column
below and mid-way between each of the arch columns. These double
wood columns sit atop a masonry and stucco baluster half wall on the
north, and extend to the floor on each side of a non-original stucco over
block half wall on the south. Screen enclosures were added from the
top of the baluster walls to the underside of the support beam above on
the north and south loggias. The screens are dirty and ripped in several
locations. The arches and balustrade walls are stuccoed with the same
stucco pattern as the main building. The south veranda facing the
Courtyard is lined with a non-historic metal railing and the addition of a
concrete handicapped ramp through one of the arched openings. (Photo

inches. The balconies on the east elevation are supported by imbedded bolts
through metal plates; the north elevation balcony is supported by ornamental
metal brackets that are welded to the railing and imbedded bolts into the wall.
Theses balconies appear to have been decorative in nature and not meant for
holding furniture, nor probably people, and are not roofed. Two roofed balconies
on the north elevation showing in historic photographs have been removed and

Exterior Walls appear to be in good condition, without any serious cracks in the
stucco; however, walls of the building have accumulated dirt because of the
uneven surface finish and some areas are filmed with mildew. The areas where
the air conditioners were previously located have been badly and roughly
patched and the unique stucco pattern has not been well copied into the new
stucco. Some of the areas where the air conditioners were previously located
still sport a painted plywood patch inserted into the wall. Areas below the
windows where the screens were inserted have been very roughly patched and
do not match the surrounding stucco finish. The Courtyard wall enclosure
has vertical cracking between the wall and the wall piers (look closely at the
left pier) that will continue to deteriorate from moisture intrusion if not
repaired, resulting in probable spalling of the stucco from the face of the
wall. (Photo 44)
The two non-conforming stair tower additions on the north façade
have seriously defaced the historic façade without adding value to the future
functioning of the building. Refer to Photos 35 on Page 23, 29 on Page 19

The ground floor Veranda at the south
elevation remains in good condition, with a
few broken or missing paving tiles and
loosened or missing joint grout. The nonhistoric railings added to the edge of the
verandas between the arches are not
required by Code. (Photo 46) The ground floor Veranda at the north elevation has been
completely covered over with a very poorly constructed wood framed painted board
and batten enclosure that is now seriously rotting at the grade level and along the roof
eave from moisture intrusion. (Photo 47) This moisture intrusion has created mildew
growth on the interiors. The original tile flooring has been covered with a concrete top
coat. (Photo 48) It is a non-conforming addition that seriously defaces the original
architecture of the building. The attempt to replicate the unique stucco finish of the
original building was poorly executed on these additions.
The ornamental Balconies show evidence of rusting; however, they
appear, with the exception of the balcony located on the face of the
south end of the west wing, to remain securely
attached to the building. (Photos 49 + 50)
Concrete Stoops remaining on the west façade
are in good condition. The one stoop that was
re-built to become a ramp is also in good
condition. The ornamental iron railings
appear to be in good condition but show signs
of rusting. (Photo 51)

Recommendation
Exterior Walls
 Remove completely the two non-conforming CMU stair towers on the north
elevation, along with the area built over the historic north 1st floor veranda.
Care shall be taken in the demolition process so as to not damage the original
historic stucco walls buried beneath. Refer to National Park Service Brief No.
22, “The Preservation and Repair of Historic Stucco” and Brief No. 47,
“Maintaining the Exterior of Small and Medium Size Historic Buildings”.
 Completely wash the building exterior with low pressure nozzles or hand wash,
pursuant to National Park Service Brief No. 1, “Cleaning and Water Repellant
Treatments for Historic Masonry Buildings”. Apply surface sealant pursuant to
Brief No. 1. DO NOT SAND BLAST ANY PORTION OF THE BUILDING. Refer to
National Park Service Brief No. 6, “Dangers of Abrasive Cleaning to Historic
Buildings”.

Refinish, as much as possible, the patches that were made over
the previous air conditioner locations and at the fresh air ventilation
screens at the base of the walls to match the historic stucco finish. To
match the historic finish, a casting should be made of the original finish
pattern in order to replicate it elsewhere on the building. Refer to
National Park Service Brief No. 22, “The Preservation and Repair of
Historic Stucco” and Brief No. 23, “Preserving Historic Ornamental
Plaster”. (Photo 57)
Miscellaneous cracks in the stucco finish shall be cleaned, re-caulked or replastered and re-painted. All cracks must be securely sealed to prevent
moisture intrusion. Refer to Briefs No. 22 cited above.
Re-paint exterior stucco and trim in color selected by Architect.
Loggias/Verandas
Remove non-historic railings from the south veranda archways.
Replace missing and broken floor tiles and grout to match the existing, unless
new flooring replaces the existing entirely. Note: Existing quarry tiles are not
shown to be original to the building from the historic photographs.
Remove completely the non-historic wood frame addition obscuring the historic
north elevation veranda and terrace. Refer also to the first recommendation
above under “Exterior Walls”.
Remove the insect screen from the south 2nd floor loggia, along with the wood
framing attachments, with care not to damage the adjacent stucco finish.
Where unavoidable, patch the finish to match the existing, pursuant to National
Park Service Brief No. 22, “The Preservation and Repair of Historic Stucco”.
Remove all rotted or termite infested wood in the edge beams at both 2nd floor
loggias, replace and repaint.
Balconies
Clean all scaled and rusted ornamental iron railings at balconies. Re-paint with
rust-inhibitive coating system.
Verify security of attachments to the building. Where loose, remove and
replace all attachments securely into the building.
Concrete Stoops
Remove the railings and concrete stoops and ramp at all three original door
openings on the west elevation to allow for the construction of an outside
dining terrace on the west elevation off the Dining Room.
Construct an expanded “stoop” area as shown on Drawing 1SP in Section 7,
Proposed Schematic Design, to provide for an outside dining area facing Sims
57
Park. It may be possible to infill around the existing stoops and ramp, allowing
them to remain in place. This Dining Terrace (“stoop”) shall be finished with
material to match that selected for the north Terrace floor finish.
Exterior Stairs
At the 2nd floor exterior stair landing in the east wing, remove the coating over
the tiles in its entirety and reconstruct the damaged base of the wall and the
supporting concrete beam that have become deteriorated from the moisture
intrusion. (See also Structural Section recommendations for this area.) Provide
new flashing and sealant the full length of the landing along the building wall
and repair the stucco finish. Repair and replace any
floor tiles damaged or removed during this process. Recoat the landing surface with a clear, moisture resistant
deck coating.
 Re-grout the floor tiles at the east wing landing, unless
new tiles replace the existing in their entirety.
 At the 2nd floor exterior stair in the west wing veranda,
remove the door and frame and the upper portion of the
wall to open the stair with a balustrade wall and railing
to match the exterior stair on the east wing.

Towers
At the North Tower, provide new replacement finials for those that are missing.
Finials shall match the original form that is located on a shelf in the 2nd level
tower area.
Install a circular stair to the 3rd floor tower area and provide a railing
surrounding the opening at the 3rd level tower area.
Remove all existing windows and replace all four openings with operable full
height lockable doors to each of the exterior deck platforms, matching the
profile of the original historic openings in these locations. (Photo 58)
If the Tower is to be accessible to the hotel guests, provide a minimal fine tube
railing addition to the top of the railing to meet FBC Code height for a guard rail
around the north tower walkway and acceptable to the State Historic
Preservation Office.

ENVELOPE – ROOFING + WATERPROOFING
Description
Barrel Tile Roofing of concrete
tiles are installed at all sloped roof
areas around the perimeter of each of
the wings, the two towers and the
north addition. (Photo 59) Refer to
Roof Plan, Sheet A2.06 in Section 7,
Existing Measured Drawings for
specific locations. The tiles are
concrete interlocking “S” shaped tiles
in a terra cotta color.
Photo 59
[Cite

Built-Up Roofing System of unknown plies spans the flat
central area of each of the three wings, sloping to roof drains that
empty into an internal drain in the North wing and to two
scuppers/collection boxes and
downspouts on each of the East and
West Wing outside elevations.

Sheet Metal Flashing is
installed at the intersection of each
roof projection and the roofing (ie, at
the chimney, the roof mounted
equipment curbs, vent pipes, etc);
where the North Wing loggia barrel tile
roofs abut both the East and West
wings; and where the north and south tower walls in the East Wing abut the barrel tile
roofs. (Photo 60)
Gutters + Downspouts
While there are no gutters installed on this building, there are two aluminum collection
boxes with aluminum downspouts on each of the east and west elevations that expel
the water to the ground surface. (Photo 61)
Evaluation
The Barrel Tile Roofing tiles appear to be in good condition, although some of
them are missing. There is no evidence of an appropriate moisture barrier between the
tile and the wood deck below. Evidence of roof leaking under this material is over the
two 2nd floor exterior loggias.
Atelier AEC
Page 73
59
The Built-Up Roofing appears to have been replaced during either the
1986/1997 renovations, by evidence of the information on the Drawings retained by the
City from those renovations. While this roofing does not show evidence of being
breached in any location, it is minimally a 30-year old roof and any previous roof
warranties will have long since expired. As it is the goal of this renovation to bring the
building envelope into a completely stabilized condition, the recommendation below is
to replace the built-up roof in its entirety to meet more current code requirements and
obtain current 20-year warranties.
Sheet Metal Flashing Sheet metal flashing does not appear to be loose or
damaged in the observed locations. Determination of its adherence to the building
throughout was not able to be made.
Gutters + Downspouts There are no gutters on this building. The downspouts
appear to be in good condition, with no apparent leaks or breaches in the body of the
downspouts.
Recommendation
Barrel Tile Roof
 Remove all barrel tile carefully and retain for later reinstallation.
 Retain all tiles from the removed north addition for use as replacement for any
broken or missing tiles on the remainder of the building.
 Replace all rotted wood underlayment at the 2nd floor north and south loggias
with 1x3 pressure treated wood strips to match the size of the existing and
apply a full 2-ply roofing membrane under a cap sheet before re-installing the
barrel tiles.
 At the north, east and west wings, replace any discovered rotted wood with ¾
inch exterior grade plywood and apply a full 2-ply roofing membrane under a
cap sheet before re-installing the barrel tiles.

Built-Up Roofing
Have a testing company take a core of the roofing in each of the three wings to
show layers of plies and constitution of underlayment. If testing shows two
layers of roofing, at least one layer, if not both layers shall be removed before
re-roofing activity.
Replace built-up roofing in its entirety in all areas where it is installed. Be sure
that roof-mounted equipment to be installed in later phases of this project’s
rehabilitation will not negate any newly obtained roof warranties.
Retain all existing roof drain sloping patterns to the existing scuppers and
downspouts.
Sheet Metal Flashing
Replace all sheet metal flashing with new, properly adhered and waterproofing
all perimeter adjacencies of materials.

Gutters + Downspouts
Clean out all roof drains, scuppers and downspouts, flushing to be sure there
are no obstructions in the body of the downspouts. Should the flushing show a
leak or breach in any downspout, all downspouts should be replaced with new
aluminum downspouts and collection boxes.

and lite configurations in the
guest rooms, (Photo 62) and
painted wood fan windows
over selected exterior door
openings in the main lobby, dining room and north tower. (Photo 63) The
original window and door fan lite openings appear to have not been modified,
so the sizes can be recorded with reasonable accuracy. All windows are on
the exterior perimeter walls; there are no interior windows. Refer to Section
7, Existing Measured Drawings, Drawing Sheet A5.01 for window elevations
and sizes, and Sheets A2.02 and A2.04 for an existing window identification
and location plans.
Original Windows There are sixteen (16) original fixed wood fan
lites or lite openings remaining in the building, located above each of the
double exterior doors in the main lobby and dining room, and the single
windows in the north tower; and one (1) steel window located adjacent to the south
entrance to the east wing in Room 163. As some of the openings in the dining room
and lobby have been covered by previous renovations, the presence of the original fan
lites could not be verified.

Aluminum Casement Windows All of
the windows, except as noted above, were
replaced during the 1985 and/or 1997
renovations with non-conforming aluminum
casement windows, opening outwardly with a
lever locking operation against a mid-window
mullion. (Photos 64 + 65) The opening operation is
limited to approximately 30-45 degrees of
opening, depending on the tightness of the hinge
mechanism and does not meet the emergency
egress size requirement in the Florida Building
Code. There are no screens on any of the

windows. The window sizes vary as shown on Drawing Sheet A 5.01, Section 7, Existing
Measured Drawings.
Evaluation
Wood Fan Windows (Lites) that are visible appear to be in good condition, with
chipped and peeling paint and some cracked, broken or missing glass.
Aluminum Fixed and Casement Windows are in good condition, however many
of them have broken glass panes and are boarded over with plywood panels. The
aluminum windows are non-compliant replacements of the original historic steel
windows and do not meet the windborn debris resistence criteria or the emergency
egress opening criteria of the Florida Building Code.
Recommendation
 The Wood Fan Windows shall all be stripped to bare wood, in place or removed
and reinstalled, sanded and repainted – all pursuant to the Architect’s painting
specifications and National Park Service Preservation Brief No. 9, “The Repair
of Historic Wooden windows”. Color as selected by the Architect. Where
selective demolition reveals a fan lite to be missing from the casement, the
lite(s) shall be replicated in wood to match the original wood lites in size, profile
and wood species.
 Replace all Aluminum Fixed and Casement Windows, with steel windows
replicating the original historic configuration (or with aluminum windows
meeting required preservation standards and State Historic Preservation Office
approval), with no center mullions to allow replication of the historic
configuration and compliance with the emergency egress criteria. The City of
New Port Richey Building Department officials have required that the aluminum
windows be replaced to provide windows that meet the windborne debris
requirement as well as the emergency opening requirement. Current window
companies produce windows, both aluminum and steel, that can comply with
these requirements and replicate the original steel window size and lite
configuration.

Lobby + Dining Room – Both rooms’ ceilings are
finished with painted plaster on lath, with plaster
wrapped steel beams spanning the rooms from north to
south and projecting down from the ceiling,
approximately 10” x 12” wide and 11’-6” on centers.
(Photos 101 + 102) The beams are decoratively treated
with egg and dart and rope plaster detailing along the
length of the beam enclosures; and beneath each beam
end is a plaster bracket. (Photos 101, 102 + 103) Convex
plaster moldings matching the beams detailing
circumscribe the walls at the ceiling around the entire
perimeters of both rooms. Between the beams is
painted plaster on lath finish. Ceiling height is at 13’-8”
height and does not appear to have been lowered
during any of the previous alterations.
Fire sprinkler piping crosses both rooms, along with fire alarm/smoke alarm
devices and their related wiring. All systems are exposed, surface-mounted piping,
wiring and conduit. (Photos 101, 102 + 103)
Three (3) original historic chandeliers are hung from the ceilings, two (2) in the
Lobby and one (1) in the Dining Room; along with 10 non-historic ceiling fan/light fixture
combinations, six (6) in the Lobby and four (4) in the Dining Room. All fixtures are
wired from above the ceilings. (Photos 101 + 102)
Selective staining toward interior areas on the ceilings in both the Lobby and
Dining room suggest that there were plumbing leaks from above at some previous time
that were not carefully patched, if at all. (Photos 101 + 102)
Kitchen – The kitchen ceiling is a dropped down lay-in 2 x 4
acoustical tile ceiling that was installed during one of the previous
renovations to allow installation of fire protection piping, ductwork and
wiring above the ceiling. Light fixtures are surface-mounted 2-bulb 4

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
Description
The existing hotel building is served by approximately ten (10) split DX air conditioning
systems and two (2) DX packaged rooftop units. Several of the air handling units are
located above ceilings and some were not accessible for this reason. Three (3) of the
condensing units are located on the ground level at various locations around the building.
One (1) of the condensing units is located on the roof. It is unknown where the remaining
condensing units are or were located.

First Floor
AHU-1 (all unit labels noted in this report come from
the existing 1985 plans) is located in a closet. This unit has a
manufacturing date of 08/91 making the unit over 23 years
old.
AHU-2 is located in a small cavity under the stairs.
There is no access to this unit other than a small hole that has
been created in the wall.
AHU-2
AHU-1
AHU-3 (x2), AHU-4, AHU-5
and AHU-6 are all located above the ceiling in the
North wing of the hotel and are not accessible without
some of the ceilings being
torn out in some locations.
AHU-3
Atelier AEC
Page 93
79
AHU-7 is located in a closet in the intermediate level at the
SW corner of the building. This unit appears to be much
newer than the other units serving the first floor, although
a manufacturing date was not located. This unit does not
appear to have any outside air coming to it.
There is another unit shown on the existing
first floor plans without a label. We were
unable to locate this unit. It may have been
removed at some point.
Hood in the kitchen appears to be in decent
condition. Exhaust goes out through wall
and up to an exhaust fan at roof level (above second floor).
The kitchen hood
ansul system
appears to be
disconnected.
Make-up air for the hood appears to come through the wall.
Second Floor
AHU-8 is located in a closet. This unit appears to be of similar age as the other
units in the building.
The two (2) DX packaged rooftop units serve the East and West wings of the hotel
respectively.

Air distribution ducts are fabricated of fiberglass ductboard with flexible ducts to
each ceiling diffuser.
Air devices appear to be in good shape.
Evaluation
The older air conditioning units do not meet the efficiency ratios currently
required by the State of Florida Energy Efficiency Code. The result is higher energy use
than with newer units. Condensing units are corroded.
The fiberglass ductboard appears in general, to be in poor shape. It was noted at
several locations where ducts are coming apart. A small section of duct was cut away at
one location to investigate the condition inside the ducts and there was a large amount
of dust and contaminants on the interior of the ducts.
When the air conditioning units are replaced, they will have to be selected with
adequate capacity to include the outside air ventilation flows required by current Codes
and any cooling loads associated with the proposed building use.
All ductwork should be replaced, including flexible ducts.
The above ceiling location of several air-handling units makes access for
maintenance difficult but it is also in non-compliance with the requirements of the current
Florida Building Code. Code requires a service platform with walls, insulation, lights and
service outlets as well as openings and passageways large enough to remove units if
required in the future. These rooms will have to be sprinklered. Another option would
be to construct small closets at the floor level and provide access doors or panels.
All existing units are presumably using R-22 refrigerant. This is no longer allowed
by code so when/if units are replaced all of the refrigerant piping will need to be replaced
as well.
The kitchen hood may be reused depending on what new cooking equipment will
be located underneath.
The kitchen hood exhaust fan will need to be moved at a minimum. Its current
location above the roof directly adjacent to the edge of the building does not meet code.
The fan will need to be a minimum of 10’-0” from the edge of the building.
Further investigation of the grease duct and exhaust fan serving the hood will be
required to determine if the duct and fan can be reused.
Recommendation
First Floor
1.
Replace all units with new. New units to be high efficiency.
2.
New units shall be selected to provide the outside air ventilation recommended
by the current Florida Building Code 2010. Verify existing outside air louvers are
of adequate capacity. Where not currently provided, provide new outside air
louvers, grilles or other intake as required.
3.
Provide closets or rooms at floor level to house new units. Provide proper access
for operation, service and maintenance.
4.
Replace all ductwork, including flexible ductwork.
5.
Existing air devices are in fair condition but should be replaced if possible. Ceilings
may be removed and/or modified going forward so the air devices would have to
Atelier AEC
Page 95
81
be removed, cleaned, disinfected and reinstalled (if possible). If the rest of the
HVAC systems are to be replaced, it doesn’t make sense to keep original air
devices on a brand new systems.
Second Floor
1.
AHU located in the closet should be replaced with new. New unit to be high
efficiency.
2.
RTU’s appear to be in good condition and may be reused. However, since it is
recommended that the remaining units in the building be replaced, it may be a
good idea to replace these as well.
3.
New units shall be selected to provide the outside air ventilation recommended
by the current Florida Building Code 2010. Verify existing outside air louvers are
of adequate capacity. Where not currently provided, provide new outside air
louvers, grilles or other intake as required.
4.
Replace all ductwork, including flexible ductwork.
5.
Existing air devices are in fair condition but should be replaced if possible. Ceilings
may be removed and/or modified going forward so the air devices would have to
be removed, cleaned, disinfected and reinstalled (if possible). If the rest of the
HVAC systems are to be replaced, it doesn’t make sense to keep original air
devices on a brand new systems.
6.
Retain the services of a test and balance agency to pre-test all systems in the
building.
7.
Kitchen hood may be able to be reused. Further investigation and testing along
with the determination of future kitchen use and type of cooking appliances will
determine if hood is adequate or needs to be replaced.
8.
Kitchen hood exhaust fan as noted previously, will need to be moved away from
the edge of the building. Further investigation and testing will be required to
determine if the fan can be reused. Future use of kitchen will also determine if
fan can be reused.
9.
FBC 2010 requires that a permanent access is provided when equipment
requiring service and/or maintenance is installed on a roof or platform +/- 16’
above the ground. There does not appear to be any type of permanent access.
If equipment remains on the roof, this will need to be provided.

PLUMBING
Description
Plumbing fixtures in general appear to be in fair to
poor condition and while perhaps in compliance with
the Code at the time they were installed, they no
longer are with respect to the current Code. There are
several locations where restrooms appear to be ADA
but proper clearance for ADA compliance is not
provided.
A backflow preventor is located at the East
side of the property.
A grease trap and water heater are
located in the basement. Size of
grease trap is unknown at this time.
It presumably serves the plumbing
fixtures, drains, etc., from the
kitchen on the first floor.
Evaluation
The plumbing fixtures for the most part
appeared to be in fair condition and could possibly
be reused with some cleaning. However, it is unlikely
depending on their age that they meet current code
guidelines for flow rates, gallons per flush, etc.
Type of replacement fixtures will be
determined by the use of the facility going forward.
Similar evaluation applies to lavatories and their
faucets.
The existing grease trap appeared to be in
poor condition and will need to be replaced to meet
the needs of the new kitchen design.
Atelier AEC
Page 101
87
Recommendation
1.
Grease trap in basement should be replaced. Calculations to determine grease
trap size will need to be performed based on future kitchen use.
2.
Replace plumbing fixtures with Code compliant water saver units.
3.
Coordinate with architect the installation of accessible fixtures where required.
4.
Use tank-type water closets and manual faucets in “hotel” rooms.
5.
Use electric eye activated flush valves and sink faucets in public spaces.
6.
Water heater may need to be replaced or an additional water heater added once
the hot water capacity is determined for the new hotel and restaurant use.
FIRE PROTECTION

The attic space is mostly combustible construction. No sprinklers were noticed. However,
they are not required in a hotel.
Evaluation
The outdoor riser needs some maintenance but overall appears to be in good
condition
The kitchen commercial hood needs a new ANSUL system as a minimum.
The existing sprinkler piping appears to be in good condition. Sprinkler head
spacing may be an issue.
Recommendation
1.
Re-paint fire riser to protect against corrosion.
2.
Relocate fire riser around the SW corner of the building to a mounted position on
the west face of the building.

Replace any components on riser that may have been damaged or are otherwise
in need of replacement.
Verify sprinkler head spacing and provide additional heads as required.
Install new fire suppression system, ANSUL or approved equal in new kitchen
hood.
Modify sprinkler layout to accommodate any change room dimensions,
occupancies, etc.
Pressure test existing system prior to commencing any interior finish work.
Relocate fire backflow preventer (DDVC) to an accessible location away from the
front of the building. Coordinate location with Owner/Architect. This may
require providing a free standing FDC at a location acceptable to the AHJ (within
hose length of hydrant and accessible by pumper truck).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL SERVICE AND PANELS
Photographs courtesy of Spychala + Associates Engineering.
Photo E-2
Description The existing electrical service
comes from a bank of transformers located on
a pole near the southwest corner of the
property. The transformers are arranged in a
120/240 volt three phase delta connected
array with a high leg to create a 120 volt pair of
branches. The secondary conductors are run
overhead to weatherheads located on the
building. (Photo E-1)

There are two main 400
amp switches installed
in the basement at
opposite ends of two wireways.
Each switch feeds a wireway
where switches and panels are
tapped off of the wiring in the
wireways. (Photo E-3)
Photo E-3
[Cite your
source here.]
Evaluation The service equipment is in fair condition. There are no visible signs of
serious deterioration or damage to the equipment, but it is approximately 30 years old
and it is showing some age issues. The equipment is missing modern safety features
such as disconnect before open features on the switches and low ampere interrupting
capacity ratings on the circuit breakers.
Atelier AEC
Page 104
90
Recommendations Upgrading the service is recommended to improve the service
equipment and to provide a more conventional 120/208 volt three phase, four wire
service. An underground service to a pad mounted transformer is recommended to
improve the distribution and to improve the aesthetics of the facility.
Installation of an emergency generator with an automatic transfer switch is
recommended for the proposed hotel and restaurant function of the building.
ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION
Description The electrical distribution
consists mostly of fused disconnect
switches and single phase electrical branch
circuit panels. The majority of this
equipment is located in the basement
directly above the service wireways. Refer
to Photo E-3 above. These disconnects
supply remote panels, air conditioning
units and the elevator. The remote panels
are 120/240 volt single phase panels and
are located in various closets on the first
and second floors of the building. (Photo E-4)
There are also panels located at the
wireways and in the kitchen.

Evaluation The distribution equipment
is in fair condition showing age but no
serious deficiencies. There are some
issues with interrupting ratings for the panels at the wireways but the remote panels are
rated appropriately.
Recommendations Replacing the distribution equipment is recommended in order to
provide three phase equipment and to increase the interrupting ratings of the branch
circuits.

SYSTEM LIGHTING
Description The existing lighting
is a combination of fluorescent
fixtures and incandescent fixtures.
Surface mounted fluorescent
fixtures are used throughout the
corridor system, offices, kitchen,
1st floor west wing guest rooms
and other common area spaces.
Photo E-6

Incandescent fixtures are used in
the guest rooms in the ceilings, except for the rooms on the 1st
floor of the west wing, and in the Dining Room and Lobby, also
in the ceilings. (Photo E-6) The three chandeliers in the Lobby and
Dining Room are historic and original to the building.
Screw-in fluorescent bulbs have been installed in many of the incandescent
fixtures in an attempt to reduce the energy consumption of incandescent bulbs. Exit
and emergency lights have been installed throughout the facility in the means of egress.
Many of the exit signs appear to have burned out lamps and emergency lights are not
functioning properly due to battery failures and burned out lamps.
Evaluation The light fixtures in general are in poor condition. Many of the lights are
not functional and numerous broken or missing lenses were observed. The fluorescent
lamps are either obsolete T12 lamps or in some of the newer fixtures that have been
replaced the lamps are T8 fixtures. The screw-in fluorescent lamps are more efficient
than the original incandescent lamps but they are highly visible and detract from the
appearance of the fixtures.
Recommendations Replacement of all light fixtures is recommended, with the
exception of the Lobby and Dining Room chandeliers. The existing fixtures detract from
the appearance of the facility, are inefficient and in many cases are broken and nonfunctioning. The three chandeliers in the Lobby and Dining Room are to be re-wired
for code compliance and re-used in their original locations.

FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM
Description The existing fire alarm
system is an ADT Unimode 9600
addressable fire alarm system. (Photo E7) It is approximately 10 years old and
it appears to be in working condition.
Devices are located in appropriate
locations throughout the facility. The
panel is located on the first floor
behind the existing reception desk.
The existing panel is showing a trouble
signal indicating that the panel is
operational if not fully functional at
this time. Much of the wiring for the
fire alarm system is installed in surface
mounted raceway attached to the
walls or ceilings.
Evaluation The fire alarm system is
in good condition and should easily be
adaptable for any remodeling project
considered for the facility. Minor
repairs are needed to bring the system on
line without any trouble signals.

Recommendations Re-use of the existing system is recommended with repairs and
expansion as necessary. Replacement of surface mounted raceway with concealed
wiring is recommended in order to restore the building to original condition.
Security Alarm System
Description An existing alarm system monitoring doors through magnetic contacts and
areas through motion detectors is installed in the facility. The system appears to be
functional as it has to be disabled to allow entrance to the facility. It is a rather simple
system and is suitable for monitoring intrusion to a building but not for a proposed hotel
use of the facility.
Evaluation
The existing alarm system is in fair condition and is currently useable.
Recommendations It is recommended that the existing alarm system be removed
from the facility and a new system be installed that is appropriate for the intended use
of the renovated facility.

ANALYSIS AND
COMPLIANCE
4.1
Hazardous Materials
The City of New Port Richey engaged the services of Greenfield Environmental
in 2013 and 2014 to perform hazardous materials testing on the building.
Asbestos-Containing Materials. The Executive Summary of the Report of the
NESHAP Renovation Survey, Sampling and Evaluation of Asbestos-Containing Materials,
dated December 31, 2013, revealed that… ”On December 5, 2003 Greenfield
Environmental conducted an asbestos survey at the Hacienda Hotel (formally known as
the Gulfcoast Jewish Family Service, Inc.) located at 5621 Main Street in New Port
Richey, Florida. The previous sampling data are included in this report. No asbestos
containing materials were located during this sampling event.” Page 1.
However, “Materials not destructively sampled include: wood floors, mirrors,
stucco and roofing materials. If these areas are to be disturbed by future renovation
activities, they must first be inspected and/or destructively sampled.” Page 2, 2.0 Facility
Description.
Recommendation: The Architect for the Stabilization, Phase 1 construction at
this site shall include an appropriate requirement for testing of the previously
unsampled areas in the Drawings and Specifications for stabilization, along with the
required procedure for mitigation/abatement should any asbestos be identified.
However, any mirrors presently installed in the building will all be removed and
disposed of during the Phase 2 Interior Renovation work.
Lead-Based Paint Containing Materials. On December 16, 2013 and January 9,
2014 Greenfield engineers took a total of eighty-seven (87) samples utilizing a Niton
(Model LPA-1) XRF series lead analyzer. A reading of 1.0 mg/cm squared or greater
with the Nitron unit qualifies the paint as lead-based paint. Of the 87 locations
sampled, six (6) locations total showed to be lead containing: one at the fireplace
header/legs; one at the wood columns on the 2nd floor south loggia; and four at the
door and frame of the Safe Room (vault) in the Lobby area.
Recommendation: The Architect for the Stabilization, Phase 1 construction at
the site include an appropriate requirement for mitigating or encapsulating the lead
paint at the 2nd floor wood columns in the Drawings and Specifications for stabilization.
The Architect for the Phase 2 Interior Finishing include an appropriate requirement for
mitigating or encapsulating the lead paint at the fireplace and the vault in the Drawings
and Specifications for the Phase 2 Interior Finishes.

4.2
Materials Analysis
Treatment of the building for termite protection is unknown. The City did not
have any record of their having had this performed during their ownership of the
building.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Architect for the final building
completion, Phase 2 construction, at the site include a requirement for tenting the
building for dry-wood termites upon the completion of the Phase 2 construction work.
4.3
Zoning Code Compliance
Identify potential conflicts between zoning requirements and the proposed
use(s).
The zoning code is the New Port Richey City Code, Appendix A. The Hacienda
site is zoned as a part of the Downtown Zoning District (pending). The proposed uses of
the Hacienda (hotel, spa, restaurant) are permitted.
There is a potential conflict with the existing and proposed west service drive.
The drive is not a part of the hotel parcel. A portion of the drive appears to be part of an
existing easement (O.R book 5059, pg. 574) but other portions do not appear to be
included in the easement. The proposed usage includes modifications to the service
drive and the easement should be updated and adjusted.
The proposed landscaping on the north side is within the property lines, but
there should be coordination with the proposed park work for compatible landscaping
and removal of some pavement. There is no requirement for zoning buffers between
the Downtown/Hotel use and Recreation/Sims Park use.
There is a potential conflict for the height of the Hacienda tower, if the property
is ever re-zoned. The tower is 43 feet to the top, with the maximum height allowable in
the Downtown District limited to 35 feet.
There is a potential conflict for the parking requirement of the Hacienda.
Zoning requires parking provided in accordance with off-street regulations. The
proposed uses of hotel and restaurant would be approximately 72 total spaces (verify 1
space per room; and 1 space for every 200 SF of common hotel space and the
restaurant at 1 space per 100 GSF).
There is an existing agreement with the Developer for 38 dedicated parking
spaces in the adjacent municipal parking lot to the east across Bank Street that is
included in the development agreement between the City and the hotel operator. This
suggests an additional 34 spaces needed.
There is a Downtown District zoning exception for removing parking spaces for
the creation of public space.
Atelier AEC
Page 110
96
The proposed City-requested site work at the existing south parking lot would
provide 2 spaces (including 1 accessible space) for temporary short-term parking, ie,
loading and unloading, while eliminating 23 spaces in order to create a more historically
compatible setting to Main Street and additional public landscape space.
The proposed City-requested site work at the existing north paving would
eliminate the driveway on the hotel parcel. We are also recommending the elimination
of 12 municipal parking spaces outside the Hotel property line partially located along
the south edge of the Sims Park parcel. This also would create additional public
landscape space recreating the historic setting of the Hotel.
4.4
BUILDING CODE COMPLIANCE
List the code(s) referenced. Consider alternate codes (UCBC, IEBC) and possible
variances. Identify potential conflicts between applicable building codes and
retention of historic elements, features, materials and spaces
Current Code is the 2010 Florida Building Code (with 2013 Supplements),
including Existing Building Code and Accessibility Code. There are also Florida Statute
requirements for accessibility.
Anticipated Code (adopted and scheduled for implementation June 30, 2015) is
the 2014 Florida Building Code (5th Edition).
Alternate Code is NFPA 914, Code for Fire Protection of Historic Structures,
Chapter 6.
Chapter 11 (Historic Buildings) Note - this will be Chapter 12 in the 2014 Edition.
The Historic Building Code acknowledges the need and goal to preserve the
character of historic buildings. This chapter provides a means for occupant safety,
conservation and use while protecting elements, spaces and features of historically or
architecturally significant buildings.
The Hacienda Hotel meets the requirements of a historic building and is listed in
the National Register of Historic Places.
The proposed work is a restoration of the building, accurately depicting the
form, features and character as it appeared circa 1927, upon its opening. This includes
the removal of altered features (new stair and elevator towers, rear additions). The
proposed restoration will need to continue to be reviewed with all authorities having
jurisdiction.
In removing two (2) non-historic stairs (rated means of egress) at the north side
of the Hacienda, there may be a concern about reducing means of egress. The nonhistoric stairs were introduced as part of the more intensive Institutional (I-1 and I-2)
use of the property as an adult extended care center during 1985 and 1996 renovations
Atelier AEC
Page 111
97
versus the less intensive proposed Hotel/R-1 use. A preliminary review of the proposed
occupancy load for R-1 (21,498 sf/200 sf per occupant results in 108 occupants x .2 per
occupant) shows 21 inches of exit required, and the proposed plan provides 28 exit
doors, or 1008 inches of exit, bringing the return of the historic hotel use into
compliance with today’s Code.
There is a back of house stair for the 1st floor west wing rooms that is a noncompliant exit (through kitchen). The corridor will need to be adjusted to prevent a
dead-end condition. Recommendation is for removal of the stair, with corridor work to
eliminate dead-ends and modifications with a new main floor enclosure to provide a
direct exit condition.
Reintroducing the open historic main grand stair in the Lobby may cause a
conflict with current means of egress and smoke requirements. New interior egress/
exiting elements will need to be introduced to prevent non-compliant dead end
corridors. The fire sprinkler system will need to be modified to allow for the open stair.
New compartments may be needed to create area separations.
Plaster walls and ceilings were used to provide protection to the wood
structure. The construction will need to be reviewed for equivalent protective rating
allowances.
It is expected that egress windows will be installed in all of the sleeping rooms
of the hotel, as required in the 2014 code edition. This will provide fire safety options
to occupants while bringing the exterior appearance more in line with the historic
appearance.
Decisions about the amount of alteration - Level 2 versus Level 3 (exceeding
50% modifications, not including Plumbing Mechanical Electrical) may cause more
stringent use of the code requirements.
The basement area would be the traditional area for any limited hazardous
storage.
The code provided use of “Equivalency (use of equivalent or superior systems)
and Compliance Options” (prescriptive-based, alternative-based, performance-based
per NFPA 914, Ch 6) and as described in Chapter 14 - Performance Compliance Methods
allows potential to negotiate these conflicts.
There is a potential conflict between existing Fire Protection elements like the
backflow valve, risers and standpipes that currently detract from the historic views and
deface the south facade of the Hacienda. Typically fire alarm panels are very visible in
public spaces, potentially inappropriate to historic interiors. The Architect will need to
work with the jurisdictional agencies to revise and relocate to more appropriate
locations.
Atelier AEC
Page 112
98
4.5
ACCESSIBILITY COMPLIANCE
Identify potential conflicts between meeting ADA Accessibility Guidelines and
retaining the building's historic integrity. Recommendations for the alterations
needed to meet accessibility requirements should reflect an effort to minimize
material loss and visual change to a historic building.
The Accessibility Code, Section 202 and 203 - Existing Buildings and Facilities,
requires that each alteration area be made accessible to the maximum extent feasible.
The critical priorities are for accessible routes, entrances and toilet facilities. Where a
solution is not feasible the State Preservation Officer or Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation determines whether the work would threaten or destroy the historic
significance of the building.
There is a potential conflict between returning the site to a more historic
configuration with more lawn on the south and north sides and the desire for accessible
parking near the primary entrance. There is a potential conflict providing a path of
travel from multiple site arrival points.
There are 5 existing ramps that provide some site access to the building. None
of the ramps, of course, are historic. Four ramps will be removed entirely in the
proposed rehabilitation and one in the courtyard will be replaced with a more
compatible approach to the historic building. The existing courtyard ramp connects the
path of travel from adjacent parking to the Lobby veranda entrance on the south. The
recommendation is to create a new improved accessible path of travel from the existing,
improved accessible parking on the south to the Lobby veranda entry with a revised
sloped walkway and re-grading to reduce the visual impact of improved accessibility.
The existing north patio ramp connects the patio to the non-historic north
parking. Our recommendation is to create a new improved accessible path of travel
from the re-opened north terrace to the existing park sidewalk.
Existing accessible spaces on do not meet newer van size requirements. Our
recommendation is to revise the accessible spaces as shown on Drawing SD2.01, Section
7, Proposed Schematic Design Drawings. Verify with the city to determine if a
passenger loading zone or bus stop at the street will be required.
Handicapped accessible path to the historic Bank Street entry is not feasible
without significant impact on a primary historic elevation of the hotel.
Other potential accessibility conflicts include limited access to several of the
existing historic levels of the Hacienda. These currently include the west wing
basement, west wing first floor, west and main wing second floor, second floor porch
loggias and the 3rd floor tower. Where accessibility for wheelchairs is not feasible, all
other (hearing, visual) accessibilities need to be addressed. There can be no reduction
in accessibility due to alterations. Removal of existing elements (stairs/elevators/
facilities) will need to be replaced with in kind or better elements. The proposed
removals are the result of reintroducing the north historic elevations and materials.
Atelier AEC
Page 113
99
As existing or recreated historic stairs are modified, there is a potential conflict
with accessibility unless special care is given to incorporating these details into the new
construction.
Removal of the existing elevator will create a conflict with accessibility. The
existing elevator does not provide access to the main or west wings of the second floor.
The provision of a new interior elevator will provide accessibility to all of the second
floor.
The proposed new accessible parking, access route, ramp to the lobby, new
interior stair and new interior elevator reflect the effort to minimize material loss and
visual change to a historic building. We believe that much of the original fabric of the
original hotel north elevation remains intact under the more recent (1985 and 1996)
north stair and elevator additions.
Access to the basement is not feasible from the interior due to structural
systems and level changes. The proposed solution is to provide an exterior ramp from
the service drive, along an accessible route from the accessible parking area that would
allow access to the basement area, should this become necessary, meeting the intent of
203.9 for Employee Work Areas. Improvements will be made for other aspects of
accessibility. This is a potential conflict with 206.3 requiring accessible interior routes
when there are other interior routes.
Wheelchair access to the west wing 1st floor (3 proposed rooms) is not provided
due to the unique existing level change, the cost and because of the mobility provisions
made for the rest of the facility. If the west wing 1st floor is ultimately used as a spa, a
chair lift is recommended for access.
Access to the upper porch loggias is not feasible from the interior due to
structural level changes and use. Access is also not feasible from the exterior due to
significant changes that would be required to other historic elements.
There will be need to be two Accessible Guest Rooms (mobility, communication
and Florida Special types) per section 224 and per Florida Statute. The rooms are to be
dispersed by type, level, etc. The number of rooms provided is based on the final count
of rooms and options (spa) selected.
There is a potential conflict with vertical clearance requirements (307.4) at
some of the original arch configurations (under north loggia exterior stair, and under the
southeast exterior stair).

PRESERVATION
PLAN
This Preservation Plan has been developed based on both the City’s stated
request to “…return the building to its original historic configuration and hotel
function, along with as much of the historic site reconfiguration as possible.”
(Commentary during the Pre-Submission Meeting for RFP15-004 on Friday, November
14, 2014) Considering the size of the building and its original floor plan, the City advised
that they would look to have the original historic hotel function returned to the building
with 30-31 guest rooms, re-opening the historic grand staircase in the Main Lobby and a
restaurant/lounge returned to the main lobby and dining room, re-opening the lobby
and dining room views to the Park back to that reflected in historic photographs
showing the lobby and restaurant looking out over Sims Park. Period of significance is
the original building construction of 1926.
All work proposed in this Preservation Plan must “…meet the Secretary of the
Interior Standards and Guidelines, requirements of the State of Florida, Division of
Historical Resources and the City of New Port Richey.” (RFP15-004, Hacienda Hotel
Rehabilitation, Page 2 of 12).
While the intended use of the building returns it to its historic use as a hotel,
insensitive and non-conforming modifications over time accommodating other uses
once the hotel went out of business have denigrated some of the historic fabric and
details of both the interior and exterior of the building, particularly the exterior north
facade. Therefore, the recommended approach to this work will be that of
REHABILITATION, emphasizing the retention, replacement and/or repair of historic
Atelier AEC

where moisture intrusion has caused serious deterioration of the
concrete beam and the interior face of the wall at the 2nd floor level and
at the ceiling of the room below
Correction of the moisture intrusion at this 2nd floor exterior stair
landing.
Reconstruction of the historic Main Lobby Grand Staircase.
Replacement of all guest room windows with windows replicating the
original steel windows and meeting current code requirements for
impact resistance and egress dimension, per specific request of the New
Port Richey Building Department officials.
Opening of the historic Bank Street entrance.
Repair and/or replacement of both the barrel tile roofing and the builtup roofing.
Replacement of all exterior doors, with particular emphasis on returning
those in the Lobby and Dining Room to their original size and
configuration.
Partial HVAC and electrical installation to keep the building ventilated
and dehumidified until the complete installation is accomplished.
Phase 2, the completion of the interiors and site work by the Hotel Developer.
There is a possibility that all the work outlined in Phase 1 will not be covered by the
grant money and work not accomplished in Phase 1 will be picked up in Phase 2 by the
Hotel Developer to render the building fully functional for the intended use as hotel and
restaurant/lounge, and returning the interiors to their historic configurations including

RE:
Hacienda Hotel, New Port Richey
Master Site File #8 PA00339
Please be advised that under a contract with the City of New Port Richey, our office has been engaged to
prepare a historic assessment report on this building, including an up-date to the existing Master Site
File Form.
To clarify this requirement and determine the extent which this up-date should take, we called and
spoke with Eman Vovsi. In this conversation we indicated that the building has not been modified since
the filing of the initial Master Site File in 1991. The building was placed on the National Register of
Historic Place in 1996 in its present condition and the ownership of the building is now the City of New
Port Richey. We were instructed by Mr. Vovsi to attach a letter to this effect to the up-date form, and
since the history and description of the building remains the same, this information would not need to
be duplicated.
Therefore, please be advised that we are attesting to the fact that the building, its history, photographic
documentation and architectural descriptions remain as they were reported to be in the 1991 Master
Site File Form.
Respectfully,

RE:
First Reading, Ordinance 2015-2056: Residential Rental Housing Exterior Inspection Program
REQUEST:
The request is for the City Council to conduct a first reading Ordinance 2015-2056 regarding the Residential
Rental Housing Exterior Inspection Program and to approve the proposed ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
As I am sure you will remember from our discussion on June 16, 2015 the purpose of this program is to
provide protection for property owners by ensuring the progression of the value of our neighborhoods. Specifically though, the program is an opportunity to identify blighted and deteriorated rental properties and
ensure the rehabilitation of the housing structures that do not meet minimum site maintenance standards. Since your meeting and based on your direction some changes have been made to the ordinance and they
are as follows:
• 6-132(a), updated to add bank owned and vacant residential units and mobile homes.
• 6-134(b), updated to replace City Manager and City Attorney for Development Director.
• 6-135, increased fees.
• Sec. 4, changed effective date to January 1, 2016.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is to conduct a first reading on this matter and to approve Ordinance No. 2015- 2056
for the exterior inspection of residential rental properties.
The financial impact of the program is contingent on the number of inspections conducted during the
program year. Currently, the program is designed to afford for an inspection of the renter-occupied housing
units once every three years. Should City Council approve the plan as submitted, the cost of staffing the
program would be covered through use of the fees collected for the residential rental permit program.
However should City Council determine that a more expedited program is preferable some additional
expense would be involved in the administration of the program and this particular determination will be
made in conjunction with the adoption of the FY 2015-2016 Budget.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA; AMENDING
ARTICLE V, DIVISION 2 OF THE CITY CODE BY CREATING SECTION 6-131
THROUGH 6-138, FOR THE EXTERIOR INSPECTION OF RESIDENTIAL RENTAL
PROPERTIES AND DWELLINGS; ADOPTING RELATED STANDARDS AND
INSPECTION PROCEDURES; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION INTO THE CODE,
SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City is granted the authority, under section 2(b), Article VIII of the
Florida Constitution, to exercise any power for municipal purposes, except when expressly
prohibited by law; and
WHEREAS, there are residential rental structures within the City that are used for human
habitation which are, or may become in the future, substandard due to a lack of maintenance and
progressive deterioration; and
WHEREAS, if not remedied, that existence of such substandard residential rental

and blight in the Community, and will preserve and enhance residential and nonresidential uses
and neighborhoods and property values; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 166, Florida Statute authorizes the City Council acting for the City

supply of safe, affordable, and sanitary housing; and
WHEREAS, section 83.51, Florida Statutes, generally provides that the landlord of

Page 135
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Sec. 1. Article V, Division 2, shall be amended to include the following sections:
Sec. 6-131.
Findings and declaration of policy; purpose.
(a)
Findings and declaration of policy. It is hereby found and declared that structures exist
within the city that are being used on a rental basis for human habitation which are, or may
become in the future, substandard with respect to structure, or maintenance. In addition,
said substandard conditions are due, in part, to a lack of maintenance or upkeep of essential
facilities, progressive deterioration.
It is also found that these substandard conditions constitute a menace to the health, safety,
morals, and welfare and reasonable comfort of the citizens and inhabitants of the City and
have the further effect of creating blight and initiating slums. If these substandard
conditions are not curtailed and removed, the substandard conditions will grow and spread
and will necessitate, over a period of time, the expenditure of large amounts of public funds
to correct and eliminate the same. The city is committed to protecting its citizens and
inhabitants through the elimination of substandard rental housing and through the
promotion of safe, decent, sanitary and suitable rental housing. In furtherance of this
commitment, all residential rental dwelling units and properties shall be maintained in
compliance with all applicable building, housing, health, and property maintenance codes
and the provisions of this Section.
(b)
Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to protect the public health, safety, morals, and
welfare by authorizing and establishing procedures for the inspection the exterior of
residential rental dwelling units in order to determine compliance with all applicable
building, housing, health, and property maintenance codes and the provisions of this article.
It is further the purpose of this article to establish minimum standards for determining
compliance in order to make residential rental units fit for human habitation, occupancy and
use; to fix certain responsibilities and duties upon owners and operators of residential rental
units; to preserve the value of land and structures throughout the city; and to fix penalties
and provide remedies for violations of this article. With respect to rental disputes, except as
otherwise specifically provided by this article, it is not the intention of the city council to
intrude upon contractual relationships between tenant and landlord. The city council does
not intend to intervene as an advocate of either the landlord or tenant, nor to act as arbiter,
nor receptive to complaints from tenants and landlords that are not related to the provisions
of this article. It is intended that the landlord and tenant exercise such legal sanctions as are
available to them without the intervention by the city.
Page 136
Sec. 6-132. - Applicability.
(a)
Unless otherwise provided in subsection (b), this article shall be applicable to all residential
rental, multi-family residential rental, bank owned residential, and vacant residential,
dwelling units, including mobile homes, within the city. With respect to residential rental
dwelling units that constitute a public lodging establishment under F.S. § 509.013, any
inspection conducted by the city shall be limited to determining compliance with the Florida
Building Code and the Florida Fire Prevention Code as provided by F.S. § 509.032(7), in
addition, in any case where any provision of this article conflicts with other provisions of
the City Code or under the Laws of Florida, the Code or law that imposes a higher standard
shall prevail.
(b)

housing units that, within the past five years, have been newly constructed as evidenced by
issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Sec. 6-133. - Definitions.

or sleeping place.
Page 137
Sec. 6-134. - Inspections.
(a)
Inspections of the exterior of residential rental dwelling units subject to this article shall
be conducted by the city to ensure that such buildings or residential rental units are in
compliance with applicable housing codes. However, this provision shall not be interpreted
as authorizing the city to conduct inspections of residential rental buildings or residential
rental dwelling units without the consent of the property owner, local agent, and/or tenant or
without an administrative inspection warrant, unless emergency circumstances warrant an
immediate inspection for life safety reasons.
(b)
Prior to an exterior inspection of a residential rental dwelling unit, the city shall provide
the property owner or local agent at least twenty-one (21) days written notice, unless
emergency circumstances warrant an immediate inspection of the unit for life safety

objection shall be directed to the City Manager and the City Attorney. If a property owner,
local agent, and/or tenant objects to an inspection, no inspection of the building and or
residential rental unit shall be undertaken without an administrative inspection warrant,
unless emergency circumstances exist.
(c)
If consent to inspect a rental unit is withheld by any person or persons having the lawful
right to exclude, the City may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a search warrant
of the rental unit. No owner/operator or occupant or any person having charge, care or
control of a rental unit shall refuse, after presentation of a search warrant, to properly permit
entry therein by the City for the purpose of inspection and examination pursuant to this
Section.
(d)

correct the identified violation(s) within 30 days from the date of inspection, a citation may be
issued for each violation of City Code.

property owners a reasonable opportunity to quickly remedy violations of the housing code.
Page 138

rental dwelling unit be inspected at least once every three (3) years, unless a more frequent
inspection schedule is required by the city.

compliance with codes. No person shall rely on the inspection as a representation of the
condition of such unit.
Sec. 2. Inclusion into Code. This Ordinance shall be incorporated into the City of New Port
Richey Code and any section or paragraph number or letter and any heading may be changed or
modified as necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Grammatical, typographical, and like errors

Dear Residential Rental Property Owner,
The City has recently enacted a Residential Rental Housing Inspection Program. The reason
that you are receiving this letter is because you have been identified as an owner of rental
property within the city. The purpose of the program is to preserve the housing stock,
protect property values, eliminate safety hazards and make the city an even more desirable
community in which to live.
The program requires that all residential rental units receive an inspection once every three
years. When your property is scheduled for inspection, you will receive a notice containing
the date and time of the inspection. Property owners are encouraged, but not required, to be
present at the time of inspection.
The inspection will cover the exterior of the property only and will not include the inside of
any dwelling unit. The point of the inspection is to ensure compliance with the City of New
Port Richey Property Maintenance and Zoning Codes. There is no cost for this triennial
inspection; however violations which are not corrected prior to the first re-inspection can
lead to subsequent re-inspections which will be conducted at a cost.
Enclosed is a brochure with a checklist that identifies items that will be considered during
the inspection. It may be helpful to you to familiarize yourself with the list so that you may
be prepared for your scheduled inspection. Also enclosed is a fact sheet which contains
some frequently asked questions in respect to the program as well as a map which notes the
year in which your property will be inspected.
Incidentally, this program does not replace the residential rental property permit and
therefore, you will need to continue to submit your application and permit fee on an annual
basis.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at (727) 853-1016 with any questions that you may have
as we are here to serve you.
Best Regards,
Debbie L. Manns
City Manager

mail by calling the Development Department at (727) 853-1016.
Q.
What fees are involved?
A.
There are no fees associated with the initial inspection or the first follow-up
inspection. However, if items remain uncorrected after the first follow-up
inspection, a $50.00 fee will be charged for each subsequent inspection
necessary to verify that the violations have been corrected.
Frequently Asked Questions

Page 149
Q.
Can the City use the re-inspections as a way to identify new deficiencies at each
inspection?
A.
No. Although inspections are a human process and an item could be
overlooked, this should be rare occurrence. In the event that error should
occur the item will not be added to the inspection report.
Q.
What happens if I cannot finish correcting the violations in the allotted time
provided by the City?
A.
Generally, the staff will be providing generous completion times to tend to
the required work. We realize that sometimes contractors are not always
available or the required repairs may be part of a larger scheduled
maintenance or upgrade plan. In situations where the violations do not
directly affect the safe occupancy of the building or create a problem to the
neighborhood, an extension of time request may be considered if the
conditions are justified.
Q.
What if I do not agree with what the inspector cited me for?
A.
The first step is to talk with the inspector. Give him/her a call to discuss
your concerns. If after you have consulted with the inspector you are not
satisfied that the violation exists, please contact the Development Director at
(727) 853-1016.
Q.
How do I find out if a property is registered with the Rental Housing Inspection
Program?
A.
A list of registered properties is available on the City's website at
www.citynpr.org. The list contains the street addresses of properties that are
rentals within the city limits of the City of New Port Richey.
Q.
Are any residential units exempt from the Rental Housing Inspection Program?
A.
Yes, Exemptions are provided to housing units that are less than five years
old.

RE:
First Reading, Ordinance 2015-2057: Code Enforcement Collections
.
727.853.1016
REQUEST:
Consideration of additional language in the City Code of Ordinance that will allow for the implementation of the Amnesty
Program for those cases that have been processed using the alternative Special Magistrate program. DISCUSSION:
The recently approved Amnesty Program is consistent with the authority provided to the City Manager under the
Administrative procedures in Chapter 3 which provides for a Code Enforcement Board method and was the method used
for many of the outstanding receivables. The Special Magistrate program is two years old now and some of the cases that
we want to address have gone through that process which was enabled by Article X which is the topic of this Ordinance. The change proposed clarifies the ability for the City to initiate the mediation of cases as authorized by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Ordinance 2015-2057 on First reading and set the final public hearing date.
This activity has been budgeted. ATTACHMENTS:

RE:
First Reading, Ordinance 2015-2059: Creating Section 14-11, Loitering or Prowling Prohibited
REQUEST:
The request is for the City Council to consider the proposed ordinance which addresses loitering activity and
to conduct a first reading of the ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
Loitering occurs when individuals or groups hang around the outside or interior of a business without any
intent to patronize the location. Loitering is a public nuisance as it can deter customers, creates security
concerns and establishes public image issues.
In order to more effectively address the presence of loitering activity in the city a draft ordinance has been
prepared by Mr. Poblick. The ordinance sets forth that it is unlawful for any person to loiter in a place, at a
time or in a manner not usual for law-abiding citizens, under circumstances that warrant a justifiable and
reasonable alarm or immediate concern for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity. In determining
whether "alarm" or "immediate concern" is justified under the circumstances factors including: whether the
defendant took flight upon the arrival of police, whether the defendant refused to identify themselves and
whether the defendant attempted to conceal themselves or any object that he or she was carrying will be
considered.
Under Florida Law, Loitering is classified as a second degree misdemeanor and under the proposed
ordinance the penalties are a fine not exceeding $50.00 for the first violation and a fine not exceeding
$150.00 for subsequent violations or imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 60 days, or by
both such fine and imprisonment. It is important to note that Florida's loitering statute does not criminalize
idleness or vagrancy and does not empower police to detain citizens to explain their unusual presence or
status.
The draft ordinance is attached for your review and consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is for the City Council to conduct a first reading of this matter and to approve the
ordinance.
No funding is required for this item at this time.

time or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals, under circumstances that
warrant a justifiable and reasonable alarm or immediate concern for the safety of persons

a. Among the circumstances which may be considered in determining whether
such alarm or immediate concern is warranted is the fact that the person takes
flight upon appearance of a law enforcement officer, refuses to identify
himself, or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself or any object. Unless
flight by the person or other circumstances makes it impracticable, a law
enforcement officer shall, prior to any arrest for an offence under this section ,
afford the person an opportunity to dispel any alarm or immediate concern
which would otherwise be warranted by requesting him to identify himself
and explain his presence and conduct.
Page 155
b. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this section if the law
enforcement officer did not comply with this procedure or if it appears at trial
that the explanation given by the person is true and if believed by the officer
at the time would have dispelled the alarm or immediate concern.
3. It shall be unlawful for any person, after first being warned by a law enforcement officer,
or where a no loitering sign or signs have been posted, to loiter, stand, sit or lie in or upon
any public or semipublic sidewalk, street, curb, crosswalk, walkway area, mall, parking
lot, or that portion of private property utilized for public use, so as to hinder or obstruct
unreasonably the free passage of pedestrian or vehicles thereon; nor shall any person
block or obstruct, or prevent the free access to the entrance to any building or parking
facilities open to the public.
(B)
Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall

place.

committing an unlawful act.

(whether moving or not), and buildings open to the general public, including those which serve
food or drink, or provide entertainment, and the doorways and entrances to buildings or
dwellings and the grounds enclosing them.

Penalties. The penalties for violation of this section are as follows:
(1)
For the first violation, a fine not exceeding $50.00.
(2)
For subsequent violations, a fine not exceeding $150.00, or imprisonment in the county
jail for a term not to exceed 60 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
Sec. 2. Inclusion into Code. This Ordinance shall be incorporated into the City of New Port
Richey Code and any section or paragraph number or letter and any heading may be changed or
modified as necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Grammatical, typographical, and like errors
may be corrected and additions, alternations, and omissions, not affecting the construction or
meaning of this ordinance and the City Code may be freely made.

Page 156
jurisdiction, whether for substantive, procedural, or any other reasons, such portions shall be
deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

RE:
First Reading, Ordinance 2015-2060: Sewer Impact Fee
.
727.853.1016
REQUEST:
This item is presented for your consideration. The City has received a number of requests from residents outside of the
City Limits who would like to connect to our Sanitary Sewer system. DISCUSSION:
Staff believes that it would be in the best interest to provide a more attractive opportunity for properties to connect to the
city sewer system and that the environmental and economic benefits merit the requested action. The cost of the impact fee
in the City is $2,262.00. In some cases, requests have come from individuals who live on the west side of Highway 19 and
are on canals or are close to the estuaries along our coast. Because the properties are outside of the City Limits, we have
found that Pasco County is not aggressive with forcing connection those properties to our system. When the costs of
connection are provided to the homeowners, we have found that the impact fee charge has been too much for the property
owner to bear up front. We have had a number of requests for us to provide an installment plan for the property owners. Our current code does not provide for us the manage this process without going through a formal process every time that
we gat a request. The language of the code has been amended to provide for a special exception in these cases where the
connection is not related to a capital project of the City and the property exists and has access to a sewer collection line.
Also included for your consideration is a reduction in the interest rate to be applied to all new agreements for both this
special class and also for the larger projects that may want to use the installment method. RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance on first reading and set the date and time of the second Public Hearing.
Improve revenue for the City Utility System.

SECTION 24-28(e) & (f) RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT
IMPACT FEES, PROVIDING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE
METHOD TO AMORTIZE THE SEWER CONNECTION
IMPACT FEE FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES
WITH EXISTING STRUCTURES WHERE CONNECTION TO
THE SYSTEM IS DESIRED BY ALL PARTIES; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City has regularly reviewed and amended article II, chapter 24 to
improve service to its customers and ensure sustainability of the Utility Operations; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is in its best interest to modify the provisions
of chapter 24 as they relate to the timing of collection of the impact fees; and
WHEREAS, for properties that are not associated with a new private construction or
development project or a related to a formal collection system expansion project initiated by the
City, the City has determined that it is both environmentally and economically beneficial to
encourage connections to the City’s sanitary sewer system by providing a payment option to
those property owners who desire service; and
WHEREAS, the City’s service area extends beyond its corporate limits and has limited
authority in enforcing the State requirements that mandate connection to sanitary sewer
systems and wishes to make such connections more affordable and a desirable option for those
properties adjacent to City collection pipelines; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Supreme Court has recognized the special benefit of having
utilities available to properties; and
WHEREAS, it is by the public’s interest to amend an appropriate local regulation; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is effective upon approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA:
Page 159
Sec. 24-28. - Development impact fee.
•
(e)
Time of payment. This development impact fee may be paid by owners of existing structures in full or
over a period of five (5) years with interest of five (5) percent amortized monthly with such monthly
payment included in the customer’s monthly utility bill when the connection is not included in a system
expansion project for which the remaining provisions of this code will apply. This option is a standalone
exeption and can be available without city council action required and is available as an incentive to
increase compliance with state mandates to transition septic system users to sanitary sewer in areas
where such connections can be made to existing infrastructure. All legal conditions of this section will
however still apply and all other provisions are not applicable to this special exception
.
This development impact fee for new construction or for those existing neighborhoods for whom a
system expansion by the City has been designed shall be due and payable at the time of the issuance of
the sewer and/or building permit by the city on the unit so assessed or may be paid as provided below or
in subsection (h), if the project meets the qualifications of either exception.
In the alternative, the city council, upon good cause shown, may finance the payment of impact fees over
a period of time, not to exceed five (5) years and with interest at eight (8) five (5) percent. The granting of this
alternative by city council may be made by resolution which shall include the terms and condition of the
financing plan listed below in subsection (e)(1) through (6) and a finding that the applicants' have met the
conditions set forth in subsection (f) below. The financing plan shall include the following terms and
conditions:
(1)
Each owner electing this alternative to lump sum payment shall enter into a written financing
agreement with the city, which agreement shall be recorded in the public records of the county and
shall include the terms and conditions found in subsections (e), (f) and (g) of this section.
(2)
The owner shall pay the recording fee current at time of filing of the agreement for recordation of
the financing agreement.
(3)
Payments for the impact fee shall be made by the owner annually, on or before December 31 of
each calendar year which payments shall be divided equally and shall include eightfive (85) percent
interest on the unpaid balance, provided, however, partial prepayment of the unpaid balance is
prohibited. Each agreement shall include a payment and amortization schedule. The owner shall be
responsible for payments to the city without further notice.
(4)
Until the financing agreement has been satisfied in full, the unpaid balance shall be and constitute a
lien upon the real property which has been connected to the city's sewer system, and such lien shall
run with the land binding any grantee, assignee, heirs, successors or personal representatives of the
owner, provided, however, that the unpaid balance shall be due upon the sale or transfer of the real
property.
(5)
When the installment agreement has been satisfied in full, the city shall prepare and deliver to the
owner a receipt of full payment of impact fee and satisfaction of terms of the financing agreement
and the owner shall be responsible for filing the same in the public records of the county.
(6)
Page 160
Terms and conditions of late payments and associated fees may be added to the financing
agreement by resolution.
(7)
In the event any clause, phrase, sentence, subsection, section or paragraph of the written financing
agreement is determined by court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or void as written or as
applied, the remaining agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and
effect as if that clause, phrase, sentence, subsection, section or paragraph was not a part of the
original financing agreement.
(f)
Conditions for granting impact fee financing. Prior to granting the financing of impact fee, the city
council must find:
(1)
That the project is an involuntary special assessment project for existing structures;
(2)
That the financing plan is applied equally to all similarly situated property owners;
(3)
That the financing plan is for the minimum amount of time as the council determines may justify its
need [f]or revenue to finance the necessary expansion caused by the project, while not adversely
affecting the property owners;
(4)
That the financing plan will not adversely affect the city's intended expansion or in the alternative
that the city council make necessary adjustments in its budget to compensate for the change in its
income stream;
(5)
That the financing plan will not adversely impact the city's bonded obligations;
(6)
That a substantial hardship on the part of a majority of the property owners within the special
assessment project exists due to the costs of the project, impact fees and associated costs; and
(7)
That the city council may call the monies due and payable with ninety (90) days' written notice
upon a showing that funding is necessary for the city's financial well-being or for the funding of an
expansion made immediately necessary by the addition to the city's system of the property owners.
•
(g)
Failure to make payment in accordance with the financial plan. In the event a property owner fails to
make payment or comply with the conditions in accordance with the written financing agreement, the
city council may declare the unpaid balance immediately due and payable and may collect the amount
due through legal proceedings including foreclosure upon the property. The city, if required to instigate
legal proceedings to collect the money, shall also be entitled to attorneys' fees and court costs associated
with the proceedings.
(h)
Relief from the full payment of impact fees prior to issuance of the sewer and/or building permit shall be
granted upon the following conditions:
(1)
The permit for new construction is for affordable housing designed for low or very low income
individuals;
(2)
The permittee qualifies as a 26 USC 501(c)(3) organization;
Page 161
(3)
The permittee requests relief and submits proof of its entitlement to the requested relief;
(4)
The permittee pays one-half (½) of the amount due for impact fees prior to issuance of the permit.
(5)
The permittee signs an agreement to pay the remaining one-half (½) of impact fees within ninety
(90) days of commencement of construction, but in no event, shall payment be made later than one
(1) year from issuance of the permit;
(6)
This relief is nontransferable and nonassignable.
If full payment of the impact fee is not made within ninety (90) days of commencement of construction,
no certificate of occupancy will be issued for the structure until payment has been made. In the alternative, the
city may seek collection of impact fees in circuit court or county court as appropriate.
The above and foregoing Ordinance was read, approved on first reading at a duly
convened meeting of the City Council of the City of New Port Richey, Florida, the 7thth day of
July, 2015.

REQUEST:
After discussion by the City Council, it is requested that a tentative millage rate be provided to the Property Appraiser that
will be included in the annual TRIM notice which is sent to all property owners within the City Limits in August. DISCUSSION:
The results of the property appraiser's valuation have not been fully provided at the time that this document. It is however
apparent that the net amount of property taxes that can be retained by the City's General Fund will be less than last year
because the growth in the Taxable Values of the City has been in real estate which will result in an increased payable to the
CRA. Due to the current millage rate at 9.5 mills, the funds that could be generated by any increase in the millage rate are
not material to the Budget. RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the millage rate that the City Council wants to propose as a maximum rate. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
The rate determined will be the maximum rate that can be applied to the taxable values of all properties in the City. ATTACHMENTS:

MOVING OF THE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT’S HEADQUARTERS.
WHEREAS, on May 19, 2015, the Southwest Florida Water Management District
(District), without prior notice to any city or county government within the District, announced
its plan to move the officially designated Headquarters of the District from the BrooksvilleTampa Bay Regional Airport in Hernando County to Tampa, Florida; and
WHEREAS, the statutorily mandated resource management responsibilities of the
District have been successfully and effectively carried out at its Brooksville Headquarters in
Hernando County and three field offices located in the cities of Tampa, Bartow and Sarasota for
over 50 years; and
WHEREAS, the location of the Headquarters of the Southwest Florida Water
Management District at the Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport represents a substantial
and significant investment of public financial resources of at least $10 million in the office
buildings, 37 acres of improvements and infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, no in-depth accurate analysis of all the costs and benefits associated with
such a move of personnel and correspondent construction of new facilities has been completed
that would justify the abandonment of an existing 50,000 square foot, four-story, multi-million
dollar, state of the art facility and construction of a new facility that will do nothing more than
replace the space being abandoned; and
WHEREAS, moving the Headquarters to Tampa and the related loss of a significant
employee payroll base will have a substantial and compounding annual economic impact upon
counties and cities in northern areas of the District; and
WHEREAS, the District’s water resource challenges are significant, urgent and district
wide and moving the Headquarters to Tampa will provide no identifiable advantage to
resolving them.

demonstrates that the Brooksville office is the functioning official Headquarters of the
Southwest Florida Water Management District; and
SECTION 3: That the District reestablish its full complement of services, functions and
purposes that were located at the existing Brooksville Headquarters before 2010.

RE:
Bid Award 15-007: Sims Park Improvement Project Site Improvement
.
727.853.1016
REQUEST:
The request is for City Council to authorize a bid award for the Site Improvements in regard to the Sims
Park Improvement Project to Hennessey Construction Services for an amount not to exceed $ 1,871,001
dollars.
DISCUSSION:
As I am sure that you will recall, on May 19, 2015 you authorized a bid package covering Site Work and Site
Concrete related to the Sims Park Improvement Project. The bid was for an amount not to exceed
$1,147,598 dollars. The bid covered: mobilization and site preparation, demolition and removal of specified
site items, installation of underground utilities, environmental testing, grading and soil compaction and the
establishment of hardscape items i.e. - paving, curbs, sidewalks, seat walls, lighting fixtures and bollard
foundations.
The remaining project elements included in the Site Improvement Bid Award are as follows: playground
equipment and play surfacing, splash pad, shade structures, vertical structures, site furnishings, kayak launch
and irrigation and landscaping. The bids relating to these elements were due on June 19, 2015. Since that
time the staff, along with our consultants on the project have been reviewing the bids and based on an
evaluation of the bids, current market conditions and an assessment of the bidders references the staff has
determined that the bids are favorable and therefore we are recommending that you move forward with the
bid award.
Incidentally, several modifications to the scope of the work have been identified since the project was
originally presented to you. In large part, the modifications are as follows: reduce the number of shade
structures, omit trellis swings, delete projection screen walls and reduce the use of brick pavers and
landscape materials. Additionally, the construction of the proposed boardwalks and decks at Orange Lake
has been delayed for one year in order to take advantage of a grant opportunity by which to fund the
improvements. The planned modifications are being implemented in an effort to employ a degree of value
engineering to the project and do not in any way alter the design or undermine the quality of the project.
Kimley-Horn and Associates will be in attendance at your meeting to present the final project plan to you in
detail and respond to any questions that you may have in relationship to design issues.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Hennessey Construction
Services for an amount not to exceed $1,871,001 dollars in regard to the Site Improvements associated with
the Sims Park Improvement Project. With this request, this brings the overall construction total to
$3,018,599. It should be noted that the amount requested for this agenda item contains a 10%
appropriation for contingency purposes.

The funding to cover this bid award is being provided through use of the following funds and are as noted
below:
• State of Florida, Department of Environmental Protection-Land and Water Conservation
Fund • Capital Improvement Funds • Penny for Pasco Funds • Streetlights Assessment Fund ATTACHMENTS:

RE:
Bid Award 15-018: 2014/2015 Multi-Use Path Project (River Walk to Recreation Center)
REQUEST:
The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the low bid submitted by Dallas 1 Construction
& Development in the amount not to exceed $768,484.00 for the 2014/2015 Multi-Use Path Project (River Walk to Rec.
Center).
DISCUSSION:
As Council may recall, this project was approved for design in the City's 2013/2014 Capital Improvement Program. The
project scope of work ties into the City's existing River Walk at Grand Blvd. and Massachusetts Avenue proceeding north
to Madison Street south to Kentucky Avenue where it ties into the hospital's Wellness Trail and the City's Aquatic Center
prior to the tie-in at the existing Starkey Trail located at Congress Street and Massachusetts Avenue. On May 28, 2015 two
(2) bids were opened for public reading. The bids received ranged from a low bid of $764,179.00 to a high bid of
$841,946.24. Subsequent to the engineer's bid review, it was discovered that Dallas 1 Construction & Development's bid
was incorrect and should have totaled $768,484.00. Although the correct bid amount is a $4,305.00 increase from the
original bid submitted, it is $73,462.24 lower than the bid submitted by Augustine Construction, Inc. Once the correct
dollar amount was discussed with the contractor and references verified, the engineer of record has submitted the attached
engineering bid recommendation memorandum for Council review and consideration of approval. RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of bid award is recommended.
Funds for this project are identified as Penny for Pasco tax dollars and Local Option Gas Tax proceeds in the City
2014/2015-2018/2019 Capital Improvement Program.

RE:
Proposed 4-Way Stop Sign: Crossbow Lane and Hills Drive
.
727.853.1016
REQUEST:
The request of staff to City Council is to review and consider for approval the recommendation letter submitted by MCH
Engineering for the installation of a "four-way stop" traffic control device at the intersection of Crossbow Lane & Hills
Drive.
DISCUSSION:
As a result of resident complaints about vehicles speeding and the large volume of vehicle cutting thru the Jasmine Hills
neighborhood at the intersection of Crossbow Ln. & Hills Dr., staff performed a seven day speed and traffic count along
Crossbow Ln. Although a speeding problem was not identified, traffic volumes identified Crossbow Ln. as a "cut thru"
street. The Manual on Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) does allow for four-way stop signs to be installed at residential
roadway intersections where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics or where the
characteristic of the intersection is hindered by site restrictions, pedestrian conflicts, and where similar traffic volumes are
equal from each approach to the intersection. Subsequent to the traffic engineer review, it was determined that the
intersection met the criteria described in the MUTCD and the process of a four-way stop sign intersection was
recommended. RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the installation of a four-way stop sign at Crossbow Ln. and Hills Dr. is recommended.
Budget impact is minimal with funds available in the Streets and right of Way divisions operating budget.

RE:
Crossbow Lane and Hills Drive 4-Way Stop Warrant Analysis.
Dear Mr. Rivera:
As requested, Stroud Engineering Consultants and MCH Engineering has performed a review of
the site, design guidelines, and traffic data in order to address the stop conditions at Crossbow
Lane and Hills Drive, New Port Richey (NPR),
Pasco County, Florida.
The segments of Crossbow Lane and Hills Drive
are 24 feet wide with valley gutter curbing.
Crossbow Lane connects Indiana Avenue to
Kentucky Avenue. The Crossbow Lane segment
from Indiana Avenue to Hills Drive has no
sidewalks except at the intersection, the stretch
from Hills Drive to Kentucky Avenue has
sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. Hills drive
is a “horseshoe” road beginning and ending on
Kentucky Avenue. Hills Drive has sidewalk on
both sides of the roadway.
Photo 1 – Northbound on Crossbow Lane Towards
Hills Drive
Crossbow Lane contains a horizontal curve to the
right in the northbound direction that offers a
limited amount of sight distance on the approach
to the intersection and from the westbound lane
on Hills Drive (see Photos 1 and 2.)
Crossbow Lane has a through movement while
Hills Drive has a stop condition. Both roadways
have posted speed limits of 25 mph.
Various design standards were reviewed to
determine the design criteria that would be
appropriate for the intersection. The following
design standards were reviewed for this
analysis:

American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) A
Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets - the AASHTO “Greenbook” is the
nationally recognized reference for roadway design.
Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Manual of Uniform Minimum
Standards for Design, Construction and Maintenance for Streets and Highways
(Commonly known as the "Florida Greenbook") - FDOT’s “Florida Greenbook” is the
accepted design reference for roadway design in the state of Florida.
The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD defines the standards used by road managers nationwide to
install and maintain traffic control devices on all public streets, highways, bikeways, and
private roads open to public travel.
The area is residential with single family houses on both sides of the street. Both roadways are
classified as “local.”
NPR Public Works performed a continuous traffic count with associated travel speeds north
and south of the intersection from May 6th, 2015 through May 11th, 2015. The counts were
performed using a TRAX Apollyon Counter built by JAMAR Technologies, Inc.. The counts
indicated that the 85th percentile of travel speeds range from 22 mph to 25 mph (the 85th
percentile of the distribution of observed speeds is the most frequently used measure of
operating speed.) The counts also indicated that the volume of traffic is 69% higher on the
south side of the intersection, the area without pedestrian facilities.
The MUTCD indicates that a four-way stop may be warranted at this intersection based on:
Section 2B.07 Multi-Way Stop Applications:
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of
similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would
improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.
Based on the traffic speeds, volumes and residential nature of the roadways it is my
professional opinion that a four-way stop at this intersection would be appropriate. I would
also recommend that on the northbound approach to the intersection an advance warning
(W3-1) sign be placed as well as rumble strips (FDOT Std. Index 517) at a spacing
commensurate to the speed due to the limited sight distance.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments regarding this analysis.
Sincerely,
Matthew C. Herrmann, P.E.
