Regular Meeting Minutes June 14, 2023 EXHIBIT E. Ordinance 23-07 - Land Use Plan Designation EXHIBIT F. Ordinance 23-08-Zoning District Designation Questions for Staff Local Planning Agency Chair Massaro clarified the property is an enclave, not a part of the City of Dunedin; however, surrounding properties are already annexed into the City and inquired that whether to be annexed into the City, there needs to be a common property line. Community Development Director Kinney explained that is not the case for this particular area; it a Tier 1 Area, where that is not necessary. Chair Massaro inquired regarding the water and sewer service, and Mr. Kinney stated he believed that was the rationale for the annexation. Ms. Kynes clarified with Mr. Kinney her understanding that as long as the property is contiguous to the land boundary, it does not have to be contiguous to another parcel that is annexed because of the Tier 1 status. Vice-Chair Sand bergen inquired if there is anything at the address and was advised it is vacant land; he asked if it is going to be a single-family home. Mr. Cunningham advised it will be a single-family residence. Economic Development and Housing/CRA Director lronsmith explained it is in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, similar to what has been done in the past. The City is contributing toward the land for a single-family home as part of the City's Affordable Housing Infill. It is within the water and sewer district served by the City of Dunedin. Vice-Chair Sandbergen referred to the application, which indicated something about a $45,000 reimbursement to the City. Mr. lronsmith explained that is part of the partnership deal where the City is contributing dollars to Habitat to make the lot purchase. Dr. Broom asked how that parcel was left out of the City. Mr. Kinney explained it had never been part of the City; it is Unincorporated Pinellas County. In conversations with the County deciding on areas for possible annexation, it is a combined effort to identify those areas that are most appropriate, particularly for utility services of water and sewer, because many of these properties are served by a well or septic system. He noted it would take some research to determine exactly how that happened . Mr. Benjamin asked if the property is currently hooked into the City's water and sewer and Mr. Kinney stated they are moving toward that now. Mr. Benjamin asked what effect this will have on property taxes for that parcel. Mr. Kinney explained the parcel adjustment would go from whatever that tax category is for Unincorporated Pinellas County to the City of Dunedin. App licant Presentation Ken Rush, Chief Operations Officer for Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas & West Pasco Counties, advised: This project started over one year ago; property is very hard to find in Pinellas County, especially for development of affordable housing. Habitat for Humanity has had a long running partnership with the City of Dunedin. Unfortunately, because properties do not come available as often, they do not get to do as much development within the City. When this property came about, regardless 23-4

Regular Meeting Minutes June 14, 2023 Local Planning Agency of where it was located at that particular time, he reached out to Mr. lronsmith immediately and asked if there was any way the City would be able to contribute; the purchase price on this property was much higher than they normally see at $125,000 for that single lot. Mr. lronsmith had some money set aside in Economic Development for affordable housing. The caveat to the project was that the property was and is currently within Pinellas County unincorporated area of Dunedin. They run into this daily; the Lealman area of St. Petersburg is an example, and there are other large areas even though they have a city address. Habitat offered a couple of things if the City was willing to partner for the acquisition of the property; in turn, they would annex into the city for the owner to be a resident of Dunedin. Also, they have been working, through their homeowner services program, to try to find a working resident of the City of Dunedin or City employee who will qualify for their program to take ownership of that home; it is not easy because they have to fit into the program, qualify and apply. They do not just get a pass. They are currently in permitting with the County and are under site work to develop the house. That will continue and once the annexation agreement is approved, then everything will transfer over to the City of Dunedin. Questions for the App licant In response to the question regarding the lot, Mr. Rush advised it was a vacant lot that was extremely overgrown and they received a Codes letter from the County about four times, which they were planning on doing anyway and did it a little earlier than planned in the process of permitting. Mr. Benjamin asked if there is a candidate for the property and if they will go through the typical training program, participate in the construction, and so forth. Mr. Rush stated that would be the program requirements no matter what, which are time consuming and rigorous. Since they started this project with the City, they have been actively pursuing applicants and they do look to see if they are a resident of Dunedin, and there have been at least one or two. Also, this house will be sold, not rented, and it is at 0% interest mortgage which keeps it affordable. They do look at this as more of a workforce housing scenario because they already know the property will appraise quite high being in Dunedin, so they are looking for someone with maximum affordability, but not so far out of the mainstream of 120% AMI or higher. Typically, they serve the 50%-80% AMI, but through the partnership with the City, which is still considered affordable. Public Hearin g Chair Massaro opened the public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak, Chair Massaro closed the public hearing portion of the application . Board Comments - None Assistant City Attorney Ryan advised: Regarding the Annexation Ordinance (23-06), pursuant to a section of Pinellas County Code and the MLU the City has with the County considering that enclave; there is not a recital currently in the draft ordinance that will go before the Commission that clarifies that. The Board can suggest that in the motion if they so choose, and the City Attorney's Office can make sure that change is made before it is presented to the City Commission. 23-5

PowerPoint shown on the meeting video through the City's website, under Meetings and Agendas. 3. OPEN FORUM Chair Massaro inquired regarding the alternate positions and a new regular member. Deputy City Clerk Wells explained the process and based on the past vote, the recommendation would be Mr. Benjamin moving to the regular position. Then, Ms. Telford would move into the number one alternate position and the second alternate position would be open. Chair Massaro suggested the next time there is a light agenda, it would be helpful for City staff to choose a subject they would like to educate the board a little more. His suggestion would be the subject of compatibility if all agreed for a brief presentation. 4. CITIZEN INPUT - None Chair Massaro advised this is the opportunity to address the Board on any item that is not on the agenda.
