6. COMMISSION REPORTS
a. COMMISSIONER HARR – thanked town staff for the great Tree Lighting event. Good idea to
put the “snow” in the playground where it would not melt with the rain. Discussed the upcoming
parade and adding golf carts this year. Also spoke about a problem with an old sewer line at
his home. If you notice any indentations in your yard or smell anything, please report it to
prevent a mess from potentially collapsed concrete. GUSC very responsive and professional.
b. COMMISSIONER HOYT – Very glad that our Manager and PW Supervisor are on top of the
sewer issues in District 2 as well. The Tree Lighting was excellent – and great that you had a
“Plan B” (due to rain). Lots of construction in our district with homes rebuilding. Unfortunately,
the Elevate Florida program had 12,500 people apply statewide and only approved 1,500. In
our town 106 people applied in our town and only 15 were approved. Commissioner Hoyt and
Manager Carey also spoke about the Florida First program which has not been helpful to our
community either. So, it is important to keep in mind that many of our residents are still
struggling with rebuilding. Mayor Kapper agreed the government needs to do more to help
homeowners to rebuild.
c. COMMISSIONER MAYNARD – This year’s Tree Lighting was one of the best ever attended
and the town may want to consider relocating the event permanently to the new location.
Commissioner Maynard also spoke about the danger of young people and A.I. It is directing
primarily young women to do things. Be aware of what is going on.
d. VICE MAYOR SCHOOS – Expressed gratitude to the staff. The Tree Lighting was a success.
Our Gulf Beaches Library Board Alternate is not coming back and there is an opening if anyone
is interested.
e. MAYOR KAPPER – Agrees that Constitution Park is a better location for the Tree Lighting.
Staff did a great job.
f. PUBLIC WORKS – APS, BLD, and GUSC is completing the sewer project. They have been
doing an outstanding job. Very reliable and responsive. Agreed about the new location of the
Tree Lighting. Everything is better. Received lots of positive feedback. The only issue is that
we need to install a gate on the fence so we can get the tree in the park. Commissioner Hoyt
asked if we can still decorate Nature Park. Manager Carey proposed a new idea – that would
be a whole-season destination.
g. BUILDING DEPARTMENT - Manager Carey provided the update. Eve Spencer will attend
the January Regular meeting and Workshop. We will present the topics of town hall hours,
updating the fee schedule, and non-compliant homes.
h. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR - Thank you to staff for all of the holiday events. It is exciting. This
month we received our Penny for Pinellas reimbursement of $2.4M for the Utility
Undergrounding project.

Regular Meeting – Wednesday, January 14, 2026 – 6:00 P.M.
Workshop Meeting - Wednesday, January 28, 2026
8. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Gail Conrad 841 180th Ave E. Thank you to the staff. We appreciate the work you do for our City.
It is good to have the team we have now.
Is the Code Enforcement Officer complaint-driven? Yes and also
what he observes. Ms. Conrad said the Officer told her neighbor that
she reported them, but that is not true and it has caused animosity
with her neighbor and that is not right.
9. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m.

Land Use Map Amendment
The proposed small scale land use map amendment from Commercial General (GC) to Residential Low
Medium (RLM) is consistent with Sec. 90-156. Correlation of zoning districts and future land use plan
categories when rezoned to the proposed RS-10 zone district.
The land use map amendment changes the permitted density on the site from 24 residential dwelling units
per acre (40 units per acre for temporary lodging) to 24 residential units per acre. The RS-10 zoning,
however, would only permit one dwelling unit total.
4. FINDINGS
Staff finds the rezoning and land use map amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan,
specifically the following polices:
Policy 1.1.6:
The Town shall encourage the conservation of existing residences and residential areas, which meet
density and related land use requirements to maintain the beach residential community orientation.
Policy 1.1.6:
Existing residential areas shall be protected from the encroachment of incompatible activities; likewise,
other land use areas shall be protected from the encroachment of incompatible residential activities.
Policy 1.2.1:
In order to minimize incompatibility when residential and commercial land uses share a common boundary,
the Town shall require the installation of buffering, as appropriate, where there is a change of use or
increase in intensity.
The proposed rezoning and land use map amendment removes the potential of a commercial business in
a single-family neighborhood and would only permit a single-family residence of a consistent size and
scale with adjacent properties. Because the lot is not adjacent to Gulf Boulevard, commercial zoning and
land use is not warranted. Any commercial use on the property would not benefit from the Gulf Blvd visibility
and access required by most businesses.
The prior residence stood since 1967 but cannot be rebuilt without the rezoning and land use map
amendment as residential uses are not allowed in commercial zones. This proposed amendment removes
a historical inconsistency that allows the owner to construct a commercial building which may prove
detrimental to the community’s general welfare.
It is unknown why the lot was commercially zoned or if it was ever used for business activities. The lot was
platted as a residential neighborhood, except lots directly adjacent to Gulf Blvd. This part of the Surfside
Subdivision has been used for residential for about 60 years. Due to historical platting and land use
patterns that no longer exist, amending the property’s land use and zone to residential would prevent future
detrimental effects on neighbors.
5. RECOMENDATIONS
Should the Planning and Zoning Board consider recommending approval of the proposed rezoning and
land use map amendment, Staff recommends the following:
(1) An application for a building permit shall comply with all RS-10 district zoning regulations as provided
in Sec. 90-161.
(2) Additional buffering shall be provided at building permit if buffering on the property line between the
RS-10 and C-NR zones does not meet the provisions Sec. 90-173.B:
(a) The use shall not be closer than 50 feet to any residential district.
(b) The property line shall be screened by a ten-foot landscaped strip.
(c) A six-foot solid privacy fence or wall may be permitted as necessary to provide buffering for the
residential district.

Re: Town Hall Hours
Our current Town Hall/Building Department hours are Monday – Thursday 10am to 6pm. Closed
to the public on Fridays. Our original hours were Monday through Friday 8:30am – 4:00pm.
As a result of the 2024 hurricanes, we adjusted Town Hall hours so the Building Department could
service the dramatic increase of walk-in permit traffic Monday through Thursday and work on
permit processing without interruption on Fridays.
Now that the rush of post-storm permitting activity has slowed down and we are only servicing
Redington Shores residents, there is not a continued need for the modified hours.
After studying walk-in traffic trends since mid-November, it appears there is no need to deviate
from our original hours.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend returning to the original Town Hall and Building Department hours of Monday
through Friday 8:30am – 4:00pm.

Re: County Parking Lot
Town Hall staff have received requests from local businesses regarding use of the County Parking
Lot. Specifically, we have been asked if it is possible to close the parking lot later than the
established time of “sunset” as established by Pinellas County.
I reached out to the County to inquire about the feasibility of extended hours. The County is
willing to grant the town a “pilot program” to test the new hours and determine if any unintended
consequences arise.
In order to begin a pilot program, the County has requested information to create an amendment
to our current agreement.
Here is an example of the information/documentation they are seeking:
a. Indemnification from liability for any trip and falls or other accidents occurring during after
hours use. (Lighting is minimal in the parking lot)
b. Neighbor complaints associated with noise, car lights, etc. emanating from the parking lot
after dark. There are numerous residential buildings at the north and south ends of the lot.
Will Redington Shores be the responsible party to respond to neighbor concerns?
c. Will parking be restricted to non-beach use, or will beachgoers be allowed into the parking
area after hours?
d. Impact on facilities(e.g. restroom use, litter, etc.)
e. What happens to vehicles that remain in the parking lot after closing time?
Before I engage any further, I am presenting the pilot program to the Commission for discussion
and feedback.

Re: Florida Communities Trust – Open Space Grant
One of my priorities as Town Manager is to research grant opportunities for the Town. In
December I became aware of a Parks and Open Space land acquisition grant opportunity through
Florida Communities Trust. I immediately thought of the property commonly referred to as the
“Pier Property” located at 17490 Gulf Boulevard.
Through the assistance of Attorney Eschenfelder, we contacted the current property owner to see
if he was interested in selling the property and we explained that the only way the Town could
afford the property is through a grant such as this. The property owner confirmed he is interested
in selling and signed a letter indicating as much.
There is a tight deadline for submission. Staff must complete the 18-page application by January
15, 2026.
This grant includes a 30% match by the Town. Since the selling price is not yet established, that
30% is not determined, but is not expected to exceed $1.5M. There is no obligation on the Town’s
part until a sales contract is initiated.
At this time, the grant application is exploratory in nature with no obligation from the Town. My
purpose in presenting this item to you today is simply share information and invite your feedback.
Parks and Open Space Florida Forever Grant Program
The preservation of green space, including parks, open space, beaches and natural areas, is
an important factor in creating livable communities. In 1989, the Florida Communities Trust
was created to meet this need. The Trust was funded through the Preservation 2000 bond
program until the Florida Forever program was approved by the Florida Legislature in 1999.
The Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program provides funding to local
governments and eligible nonprofit environmental organizations for acquisition of
community-based parks, open space and greenways that further outdoor recreation and
natural resource protection needs identified in local government comprehensive plans. The
program provides local governments the opportunity to leverage local dollars with state
dollars to optimize conservation benefits and encourages both public-private partnerships
and land acquisition initiatives.

Re: Proposed Charter Amendment – Commissioner Term Length
At the October 29, 2025 Workshop, Commissioner Maynard proposed creating a Charter
Amendment to change the Commissioner term lengths to 4 years instead of 2 for Commissioners
and 3 for Mayor/Commissioner.
At the November 12, 2025 Regular meeting, Commissioners voted in favor of exploring the idea
of updating the Commissioner term lengths. If the ordinance is adopted, it would then become a
referendum on the November 2026 ballot. Attorney Meyer suggested a draft ordinance could be
prepared and details sorted out at a future date.
It was my impression and the Attorney Meyer’s impression that discussion would occur at a
Workshop. However, Commissioner Maynard contacted me to request this item be heard at
today’s Regular meeting, so that is why it is placed before your today for your consideration.
A draft ordinance is attached to aid in your discussion.
Notes from Attorney Eschenfelder:
• To make the even/odd terms work, seats 1 and 3 elected in March, 2026 will get 4-year
terms if approved by the voters in November.
• Since the Mayor term will also be 4 years, the Mayor will always be running with seats 2
and 4.
