We are currently in the design stage of a mixed-use project that includes sixty-five residential apartments and approximately 11, 75sf of retail/caftygallery space along Douglas A venue. The apartments ould be a mix of one and to bedroom units, ranging in size from 7sf to 12sf. We anticipate offering an attractive collection of onsite amenities, such as a roof-top pool ith resort style pool deck, fully equipped summer kitchen for outdoor barbequing, private dog park, artistic bicycle racks, a fully equipped fitness center, and an indoor lounge for resident gatherings. Rents are projected to be beteen $1.3 to $1.5 per square foot. Beteen the lifestyle amenities, proximity to donton Dunedin and the Pinellas Trail, e are confident that our average rents ill be competitive and ell ithin the range of the local orkforce. The subject property is currently being leased to the City of Dunedin, hich in turn utilizes the site as a 9 space parking lot open to the public. Our proposed development of the site ill have a significant impact on the available parking serving the residents, visitors and businesses of donton Dunedin. Our design has taken this fact into account and incorporated a 156+/- space single level parking garage ith access from Monroe Street for the exclusive use of the City of Dunedin and its public. A reconfigured surface lot on Monroe Street generates additional 2 spaces, bringing the total number of spaces available to the public on the Monroe Street Lot to 176 +/-. The second level of the parking garage ill include 98+/- spaces, for the private use of the residential tenants of the apartments. Access to this level of the garage ill be from Douglas A venue. Preliminary cost estimates bring the total development cost, including land, to nearly $17,,. We are confident, though, that this mixed use project ill serve as a catalyst for the Douglas A venue corridor and proactively address the severe parking shortage donton through a creative public/private solution. 1
As such, e hereby request that the City of Dunedin and 23 N. Marion Street, LLC enter in to a Development Agreement that defines the terms to jointly move forard ith this significant project. It is our understanding that the approval process ill require that the document be prepared by the City Attorney, finalized by both parties, and brought before the Local Planning Agency and City Commission for to (2) public readings and deliberation.

We are confident that our Douglas Avenue Mixed Use Project ill revitalize this key corridor in our community and provide a creative solution to the City's parking dilemma.
