BACKGROUNDIn 1992, neighbor, Boy Scout leader, and father/husband, Jack Gadsby startedpounding the pavement and talking to anyone who would listen about creating aneighborhood organization. Crime in the area prompted residents, with the help ofCity Commissioner David Merrill and the Sarasota Police Department, to organize aNeighborhood Watch. The boundaries were Bahia Vista Street on the north, HydePark Street on the south, South Tamiami Trail (US41) on the west, and Tuttle Avenueon the east. Jack’s dedication to improving the quality of life in the area resulted in theNeighborhood Watch eventually evolving into what is now known as the Arlington ParkNeighborhood Association (APNA). Mr. Gadsby would drive around the neighborhoodon his electric scooter with an oxygen tank passing out fliers to announce the nextassociation meeting. Today, many long-time residents still remember him deliveringnewsletters and catching up on family news. In honor of Mr. Gadsby’s dedication tothe neighborhood, a plaque was placed in Arlington Park under one of the oak trees.The neighborhood association remained active under the leadership of Jack Gadsbyuntil 1996, when he could no longer act as president due to health reasons.Shannon Snyder was elected President in 1996 through November 2002. In April of1997, through the efforts of Jack, Shannon, board members, and residents, the CityCommission set up the Southeast Sarasota Task Force to study crime, codecompliance, and traffic issues in an expanded area. Meetings were held in conjunctionwith the City and long-term plans were developed for a Traffic Calming Master Plan forthe neighborhood. A gateway entrance on East Avenue along with sidewalks, lightingand traffic calming improvements throughout the neighborhood were obtained as partof this plan. This led to the establishment of the Southeast Sarasota NeighborhoodAssociation, with revised boundaries to include areas to the southern city limit line,between US 41 and Tuttle Avenue.In November 2002, Carolyn Fishel was elected President and along with a new slate ofofficers, the residents approved changing the name from Southeast SarasotaNeighborhood Association back to the original Arlington Park NeighborhoodAssociation. This change was made to strengthen the identity of the area, which manyresidents felt had been lost. Arlington Park is the focal point of the neighborhood; andits location is known citywide. A telephone tree was established to notify residents ofupcoming meetings and events and grant funding was also obtained which providedthe neighborhood with a new logo, neighborhood entrance signs, meeting signs,newsletters and postcard mailers. Improvements to beautify Arlington Park andincrease safety, stemming from a Sarasota Police Department Crime PreventionThrough Environmental Design study, included new and improved lighting on walkingtrails, informational signage, improved picnic areas, landscaping of entrances to thepark, new pathways, and exotic vegetation removal. The addition of parking spacesnear the picnic and playground area has resulted in increased family activities.Picnics, birthday parties, and weekend cookouts are held in the Park on a regularbasis. APNA officers worked closely with City and County staff, as well as CityCommissioners, to see these public projects to fruition.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 6

In November 2004, Rhonda Moraca was elected president of APNA and, with new andcurrent board members and residents, the Association began working on theNeighborhood Action Strategy process, the implementation of the School AvenueMulti-Use Recreational Trail, and securing and utilizing grant funding for automobiledecals, additional neighborhood signage, safety and informational brochures,newsletters, and postcard mailers.The Arlington Park Neighborhood is an established neighborhood in a city full ofgrowth and change. The neighborhood is convenient to Sarasota Memorial Hospital,shopping centers, the YMCA, beaches, and the downtown area. The current APNAboundaries, are the south side of Bahia Vista Street (north), the north side of WebberStreet (south), the east side of South Tamiami Trail/US 41 (west) and the west side ofTuttle Avenue (east), and excludes those properties that are not within the city limits.The boundaries are depicted on the next page.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 7

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the Neighborhood Action Strategy (NAS) is to create a sense of safetyand investment through improving the overall quality of life in the Arlington Parkneighborhood. The expected outcomes of this NAS include:• a decrease in the number of criminal incidences coupled with a greater perceptionof safety among residents;• enhancing infrastructure and appearance while reducing health and safety-relatedcode violations;• establishing and maintaining a vision of what residents want the neighborhood tolook like in the future; and• reports of overall neighborhood satisfaction by stakeholders.The NAS is a comprehensive and participatory effort to develop an action plan for theneighborhood by the neighborhood, with assistance from the City. The effort iscomprehensive because it deals with all aspects and elements of the neighborhoodand because it consults with all the stakeholders in the community, including propertyowners, renters, and businesses. The City’s role is to facilitate a dialogue betweenthese private interests, ascertain the concerns and desires of the neighborhood as awhole, and directly report the needs of the stakeholders to the appropriate Citydepartments. Because the NAS emerges from the expressed needs of theneighborhood, stakeholders play a key role in determining what is included in theaction strategy. Citizen participation is crucial, not only to articulate the wishes of theneighborhood and to decide what must be included in the strategy, but also to cultivatethe spirit of volunteerism, pride, and personal investment necessary for long-term,sustainable neighborhood improvement.The current condition of a neighborhood is the sum of past and current choices. Thework of revitalization is to influence future choices so as to achieve a desiredneighborhood vision. It is not enough to say that the City will “invest inneighborhoods.” Without a rational way to identify individual neighborhood strengths,weaknesses, and opportunities, broad allocation of City resources to all theneighborhoods would likely be too dilute to improve any one neighborhood swiftly.Information gathered that explicitly expresses the needs of the neighborhood, such assurvey results and issues raised at NAS forums, justifies the immediate need toimplement the Arlington Park NAS.Below are the general goals of the NAS:• Identify, protect, and enhance existing neighborhood characteristics which residentsand property owners value and wish to preserve.• Identify aspects of the community which property owners wish to avoid in the future.• Create a list of community projects the Arlington Park neighborhood can support.• Secure adequate funding for implementation of recommended actions.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 9

NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION STRATEGY METHODOLOGYThe Arlington Park NAS is the result of a collaborative effort between Arlington Parkstakeholders and the City of Sarasota to improve the overall quality of life in ArlingtonPark via a comprehensive strategic planning process.As approved by the City Commission in July 1999, the NAS process uses a step-bystepapproach to involve neighborhood residents, identify issues, and developworkable solutions. The City of Sarasota Neighborhood Partnership Office staff andstudent interns gathered background information on existing conditions. Through aseries of meetings with the Arlington Park Neighborhood Association, technicalinformation was collected to assist in the development of goals, objectives andrecommended actions. In general, the NAS process followed five phases as outlinedbelow.Phase 1: Neighborhood Profile — A neighborhood profile was prepared using datafrom various City departments, two surveys, and a pictorial description by residents:• An Existing Conditions Survey of the neighborhood was developed and compiledby interns to provide physical data of the neighborhood as a whole.• A Satisfaction Survey (with postage-paid return envelope) was sent to every parceladdress within the Arlington Park neighborhood to identify specific areas of concernand obtain feedback on current neighborhood issues and services.• A camera exercise was initiated that consisted of residents photographing subjectsthey felt were assets and liabilities to the neighborhood.Phase 2: Partnership Building and Community-Based Issue Analysis — Issuesidentified during Phase 1 were analyzed during this second phase. Some of thequestions addressed here included:• What are the major issues affecting the neighborhood?• How do residents and others perceive the neighborhood?• What is the quality of the existing services that are provided?• What services can be added or improved?• What can be done to build on the strengths of the neighborhood while alsoimproving upon the weaknesses?Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 10

Phase 3: Action Planning Process and NAS Development — This stage is wherethe actual NAS effort began to take shape as a written document. Specific projects,funding sources, and timelines were proposed with input from City staff andneighborhood residents. Tasks accomplished during this phase included:• Building consensus on the main goals, objectives, and recommended actions• Identifying how the issues can be addressed• Developing strategies, recommendations, and related commitments needed forimplementation• Establishing programs, products, and activities to implement the NAS• Drafting the first written NAS document, including budgets and timelinesPhase 4: Implementation and Monitoring — Once neighborhood residents and Citystaff agree upon the proposed NAS plan, the written document is presented to the CityManager and City Commission for approval. Upon City Commission adoption of theNAS, staff and residents will begin implementing the projects and other initiatives asoutlined in the plan document. Staff and residents will:• Define roles and responsibilities• Establish internal (City) mechanisms to implement the plan and to track progress• Collect data on crime rates, code compliance citations, etc.• Continue to research and seek other available funding sourcesPhase 5: Data Tracking, Evaluation, Feedback, and Revision — This final phaseserves as a measurement of the effectiveness the NAS plan, including implementation.It entails:• Analyzing various indicators and identifying patterns and/or changes• Providing results to service users and providers• If necessary, revising recommendations to best accomplish originally identifiedgoals and objectivesArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 11

HISTORY OF THE ARLINGTON PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION STRATEGYThe Arlington Park neighborhood began the planning process as the sixth City-initiatedNAS area in January 2005. All parcels within the Arlington Park neighborhoodboundaries were notified of the NAS initiative and invited to attend the formal kickoffevent held on January 19, 2005.Based on concerns from Satisfaction Survey responses and comments at the NASkickoff event, the following topics were identified as subjects of discussion during NASforums:• Infrastructure and Traffic Circulation—1/26/2005• Public Works Services—1/31/2005• Crime & Safety and Code Compliance—2/23/2005• Future Land Use and Zoning—3/16/2005• Funding Priorities—3/30/2005Over the course of three months, neighbors met with City staff at NAS forums todiscuss issues and concerns and identify practical solutions. Everyone who attendedat least one NAS meeting received a postcard reminder from the City for all scheduledNAS forums and postcard reminders were also sent to every parcel within ArlingtonPark at the midway point of the NAS process. As a result of these forums, an actionitem matrix was created based on citizen issues and concerns and presented fordiscussion with neighborhood stakeholders during a meeting held on June 29, 2005.The goal of this meeting was for Arlington Park stakeholders to validate the draftrecommendations proposed in order for City staff to move forward on specific budgets,timelines, and the final approval process. As with the initial kickoff event, all ArlingtonPark parcels were notified by mail of the June meeting. The matrix, shown on page25, is considered the “teeth” of this NAS plan and includes recommended actions,responsible agents, suggested funding sources, estimated costs, amounts funded, andtimeframes, which are appropriately grouped into five classifications.Timeline:July 1999: City Commission approves the NAS process for neighborhoodrevitalization and chooses Park East, Gillespie Park, and the Rosemary District as thefirst three NAS areas.December 2002: City Commission designates Arlington Park as one of the next fiveNAS areas and authorizes staff to proceed with the NAS process.January 2005: City holds NAS kickoff event with Arlington Park stakeholders.January-March 2005: Arlington Park stakeholders, along with City staff, participate infive forums to provide detailed information on issues and concerns.June 2005: Arlington Park NAS (action item matrix) is presented to the neighborhoodfor validation.October 2005: NAS is adopted by the Sarasota City Commission.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 12

SUMMARY OF NAS FORUMSDuring the NAS forums, stakeholders discussed numerous issues affecting theArlington Park neighborhood and also identified strengths, weaknesses, threats, andopportunities for the area. Highlights from these forums, along with some commonthemes from the Satisfaction Survey responses, and certain recommended actions arelisted below.Crime and SafetyStatistically, Arlington Park is a relatively safe neighborhood. However, neighborscontinue to worry about the threat of crime. Based on Satisfaction Survey results(surveys were sent to all parcels with a postage-paid return envelope, results listed inAppendix A), 58% of respondents are satisfied with the police presence in the area. Inboth the surveys and the forums, residents mentioned a wide variety of criminalincidents, including vandalism, graffiti, home and auto burglaries, noise caused by carstereos and fireworks, and vagrancy and drug use in Arlington Park. (The park andrecreation property known as “Arlington Park” will be referred to as “Park” to avoidconfusion with the overall neighborhood name). More often than telling personalstories of specific crimes, residents often spoke in terms of threatening places andcharacters. Threatening groups of people cited were teens (with nothing to do),vagrants, short-term renters, and transients along US 41. Places of concernmentioned by residents include the Park and racquetball court, the Cabana Inn and US41 in general, and the Hillview Apartments. These locations and people make someresidents feel apprehensive.Recommendations raised by citizens to address concerns include performing a CrimePrevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) survey of the Park to examine thepotential for additional lighting and increased maintenance of vegetation in order toreduce unsafe areas. Monitoring the racquetball court and possibly securing it duringnight time hours was also suggested. The continuous promotion and participation ofthe Police Department’s Citizen Volunteer Program as well as enforcement of noiseviolations were strongly advocated by the stakeholders to effect criminal incidents.Traffic Circulation and SafetyConsidered the most urgent issue by Arlington Park residents, traffic noise andspeeding was discussed in great detail during the NAS forums. Increasingly, residentscomplain about people from outside the neighborhood using Arlington Park streets tobypass major roads. Residents allege that these outsiders are responsible forspeeding in this residential neighborhood, exploiting the long, straight streets in theresidential grid to avoid congestion at major intersections. Parents and studentstraveling to and from schools, such as Sarasota High School, generate some of thesetrips. Arlington Park streets are also purportedly used by Sarasota Memorial HospitalArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 13

employees as “short-cuts.” Large delivery trucks have also been seen traversing theneighborhood. Dense traffic increases the level of noise in the area and this traffic isperceived as a genuine problem in the neighborhood. In order to work with thehospital on this issue, it was recommended that the neighborhood request a seat onand regularly attend meetings of Sarasota Memorial Hospital’s Neighborhood AdvisoryCouncil to enhance efforts in reducing cut-through traffic, as well as other hospitalrelatedissues that impact the Arlington Park neighborhood.Residents have observed that existing traffic calming measures have proveninadequate. Comments in both the NAS forums and Satisfaction Survey results claimthat speed humps are less than efficient. Citizens felt speed humps induce road rageand do not deter large vehicles like trucks. Some speed humps have been paved overin recent road resurfacing projects, reducing their effectiveness. Neighbors believethat police officers are the preeminent deterrent for speeding, but they have not seenany large-scale efforts by the City to police these neighborhood streets. During theforums, it was suggested that the City’s Engineering Department facilitate a trafficcalming study and that the neighborhood develop a traffic calming task force. A trafficcircle at the intersection of Temple Street and School Avenue, a result of a previoustraffic calming study, is scheduled to be completed in the 2005-2006 fiscal year andwill effectively slow traffic at this location. Implementing the regular use of the PoliceDepartment’s “Smart Trailer” in the neighborhood, which displays drivers’ speeds, andpossibly installing permanent radar speed display signs on problem streets wasdiscussed as a means to slow traffic. Installing red-colored reflectors or flowers toincrease visibility at traffic calming devices was also suggested by residents.Residents say that signage could be improved. They claim stop signs seem to beirrationally placed and dead-end signs are lacking. There was also mention ofadditional signage to regulate delivery trucks on residential streets. Some residentsare not even aware of the speed limit within their own neighborhood. It has beenrecommended that appropriate signage be installed on streets where needed and thatresidents assist in providing these locations. Lastly, to enhance pedestrian safety,citizens advised evaluating the intersections of US 41 and Bahia Vista Street,Waldemere Street, Hillview Street, and Webber Street to study a safer connection tothe Arlington Park neighborhood for pedestrians crossing US 41. The installation ofpedestrian sleeves was also advocated.Bulb-outs on Hyde Park StreetExample of a permanent, solarpoweredradar speed display signArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 14

Infrastructure and Related ServicesOn the subject of infrastructure, frequent commentsfrom the NAS forums and Satisfaction Surveyresponses alluded to a desire for more street lightingand sidewalks in the neighborhood. Residents feltadditional lighting and sidewalks would have the effectof decreasing criminal incidents and enhancingpedestrian safety. The stakeholders particularly likedthe decorative street lighting that was installed on EastAvenue several years ago and would like to see thatsame type of lighting on other well-traveled streets inthe neighborhood. Two locations recommended werethe Waldemere and Hyde Park Street corridors. Theinstallation of decorative lighting on these streets isconsidered the top funding priority of the residents.Residents also asked that new streetlights be installed, where feasible, onto existingFPL poles at blocks currently without lights. A point of reference for such locations isthe Existing Conditions Survey for streetlights, found on page 85.Regarding sidewalks, an Arlington Park "SidewalkTask Force," will be created to develop a means ofevaluating the needs and desires of theneighborhood for new sidewalk locations and willsubmit proposed locations to the City forassessment. This will allow the neighborhood toprioritize streets where sidewalks are requested.Citizens also recommended a new Park sidewalkimmediately west of the pool and adjacent to theplayground, to connect Hawthorne and WaldemereStreets. Connecting the sidewalk on the south sideDecorative light pole at East Avenueand Clematis StreetSidewalk leg from Waldemere Street thatends in Arlington Park playground areaof Waldemere Street, adjacent to the Park, was also requested. Residents believeboth of these measures, which they consider to be funding priorities, will enhance parkconnectivity. They also believe such improvements would greatly complement the newasphalt pathways and decorative lighting recently completed in the Park.Waldemere Street sidewalk, adjacent toArlington Park poolPedestrian entrance to Arlington Park viaArlington StreetArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 15

Improved drainage canal on Waldemere StreetEvaluating two major northsouthstreets in theneighborhood, Shade Avenueand Jefferson Avenue, for newcurb and gutter was a requestof the residents to improvestormwater drainage.Residents provided locations ofareas that have experiencedheavy puddling and sometimesflooding. Citizens claim cloggeddrains are a large cause ofthese drainage issues. In fact,47% of Satisfaction Surveyrespondents stated that curbsand gutters were in fair or poorcondition. An undertakingrecently completed that will reduce the potential for flooding for a number of homes inthe neighborhood is the Arlington/Euclid Canal Stormwater Project. The roughly threemillion dollar Sarasota County project involved conveyance system enhancements tothe Arlington and Euclid Canals in the Hudson Bayou Basin. Improvements includedenlargement of several existing pipes, installation of new pipes, installation of severalcontrol structures and relocation of utility lines.Another infrastructure projectthat is getting ready to breakground is the School AvenueMulti-Use Recreational Trail(MURT), which will be built onthe School Avenue right-of-way,from Siesta Drive to Hyde ParkStreet. The project will be donein two phases with the firstphase being constructed fromSiesta Drive to Webber Street,and the second phaseextending from Webber Streetto Hyde Park Street. The tenfootwide path will servebicyclists, in-line skaters,walkers, and joggers. The pathwill function as a safe recreationFuture School Avenue MURT, looking south on School Avenue, fromDatura Streettrail for citizens as well as a logical connect to schools, retail areas, and ArlingtonPark. New benches and lighting will also be installed along the trail as part of thisproject.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 16

AppearanceKeeping up the appearance of the neighborhood is important to Arlington Parkresidents. Homeowners believe that by improving their properties, they can increasethe market value of their homes. However, houses are more than a monetaryinvestment to residents, many take pride in their homes and spend much timemaintaining their property.The residents are not completely satisfied with the condition of their neighborhood. Inthe Satisfaction Survey, when asked, “What do you like least about the Arlington Parkneighborhood,” ‘appearance’ was most frequently mentioned. Residents also listedappearance as the aspect they would like to see addressed first and was consideredthe second most urgent concern of the neighborhood. Forty-seven percent ofrespondents said yards in the neighborhood were in fair or poor condition, and onlythree percent could say that yards were in excellent condition. At one of the NASforums, when broken into five small groups, a number of the groups said codecompliance was the highest priority. As one resident said, “The neighborhood coulduse a sprucing up.”The NAS forums and SatisfactionSurvey results were able to clarifythe specific complaints about theneighborhood. Residentsmentioned, in general, propertiesfrequently having large items thatclutter the front yard, includingboats, temporary carports,inoperable vehicles, too manyvehicles, large appliances at thecurb, and garbage cans taken tothe curb on the wrong days. Otherproblems concern upkeep, such asnot cutting the grass or maintainingthe landscaping. Citizens believethe failure to maintain property and remove clutter results in a messy, run-down look.Inoperable vehicle in Arlington Park neighborhoodHomeowners blame renters for some of the conditions in the neighborhood. Mosthomeowners take pride in their homes, and are frustrated by the lack of maintenanceexhibited by renters and their landlords. Relations between homeowners and rentersare generally sour, with many homeowners vocally wishing renters would leave theneighborhood all together. The renters resent the hostility, “over-zealous” codecompliance, and intrusive neighbors. It is interesting to note that there were fewrenters represented at the NAS forum meetings.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 17

A major concern of theresidents on the issue ofappearance are the buildings onHillview Street, near US 41,known as the HillviewApartments. Many peoplecomplained about theseapartments in the forums.During the camera exercise,where stakeholders tookpictures of what they felt were“assets” and “liabilities” of theneighborhood, multiple pictureswere taken of these apartmentsas “liabilities.” Theseapartments are thought of byresidents as particularlyHillview Apartmentsunsightly, possibly bringing a criminal element into the neighborhood and undoubtedlydetracting from the quality of the area. Citizens viewed apartments overall asantithetical to the character of the neighborhood, which is middle-class, with singlestory, typically single-family homes. After seeing New College Professor David Brain’spresentation on architecture and compatibility, residents believe that through properdesign, multi-family housing would be more accepting to neighbors. Already manywould appreciate the influx of condominiums. Based upon experience, however,homeowners are lukewarm to renters in general, regardless if they are tenants inhomes, duplexes, or apartment buildings. It was stated during the forums that owneroccupiedcondominiums would be preferred over apartment units.Besides increased maintenance of properties, residents would appreciate publicimprovements to enhance neighborhood curb appeal. These improvements includedecorative brick paver imprint crosswalks on Hyde Park Street at the Park entranceand on Waldemere Street, adjacent to the Park Neighborhood signage and otherenhancements at “gateway entrances” to further distinguish the neighborhood wasalso requested. Both of these improvements were considered funding priorities of theneighborhood.Gateway entrance at East Avenue and ProspectStreetExisting crosswalk at Hyde Park Street and ParkentranceArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 18

Land Use and ZoningThe residents of Arlington Park value the location of the neighborhood more thananything else. They live only minutes away from grocery stores, Sarasota MemorialHospital, shopping malls, retail outlets, and restaurants along Tamiami Trail, as well asnear downtown itself. In the Satisfaction Survey, 89% of residents said theyappreciated the convenient location, and an overwhelming number of people listed“location” as what they liked best about the Arlington Park neighborhood. Residentsalso appreciate the “upscaling” or “upgrading” of the neighborhood, referring primarilyto the recent rise of property values, increase in owner-occupants, and rehabilitation ofolder homes.Recent development is seen as a mixed blessing. While development has broughtnew amenities, increased property values, and drawn additional homeowners into theneighborhood, Arlington Park is viewed as a traditional middle-class residentialneighborhood. This self-image is fundamental, and any development that re-definesthe neighborhood’s “character” as something else will be and has been resisted byresidents and the Arlington Park Neighborhood Association. Forty-eight percent ofresidents say that the residential character of the neighborhood is important to them.Commercialdevelopment isviewed as themost loomingthreat to theneighborhood.Expansion of thehospital andother medicallyrelated offices isa concern of theresidents. Whilecommercialactivity is largelyconfined to US41, someresidents believethat allowinghouses to beconverted intodoctor’s officesDigestive Center at 2089 Hawthorne Streetwill open the door to further commercial development into an entirely residentialneighborhood. Such encroachment might involve the construction of large officebuildings and parking lots, a dramatic departure from a landscape of single storyhomes. Commercial development would also have the potential to increase traffic inthis neighborhood that is already considered extreme by residents. These fears arenot unfounded. The Digestive Center at 2089 Hawthorne Street is an example of theArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 19

encroachment of a large, multi-story office building into the neighborhood. Resultsfrom the NAS forums and the Satisfaction Surveys indicate that Arlington Park does notwant to become a mixed-use urban village as seen west of US 41 and in otherneighborhoods close to downtown. Citizens feel amenities are already convenientenough to access by car; to bring them into the neighborhood would threaten theneighborhood’s identity. Above all else, residents wish to preserve the exclusivelyresidential character of the neighborhood. It was recommended, in order to maintainthe single-family residential ”feel” of the neighborhood, that the area between US 41and East Avenue (from Bahia Vista Street to Hyde Park Street) be a transitional areafor land uses, i.e. low-intensity office/commercial/multi-family to single-familyresidential. Residents do not want to see density increases of existing office,commercial, and multi-family uses in this area. While some neighbors viewdevelopment of non-single family uses in this area and the overall periphery of theneighborhood as inevitable, there was consensus that height limits and designtechniques be thoroughly studied to promote compatibility of all future non single-familyresidential development with the existing character of the Arlington Park neighborhood.In fact, residents are willing to work with developers to establish sound design bycreating a “brochure” of suggested design guidelines/preferences for all types ofdevelopment that may occur in the Arlington Park neighborhood.Another developmentthreat comes from “teardowns”and new “mcmansions”being built.Residents generallyapprove of increasingproperty values, butmany are concerned ofproperty owners tearingdown existing homes andreplacing them withlarge, multi-story homes.They view the new “minimansions”as imposingand disrupting to thelandscape of establishedsingle-family homes.The original homes arevalued for theirExample of new residential construction in Arlington Parkquaintness and character, and many residents consider them an asset worthpreserving. Some residents are concerned that too many tear-downs will make itdifficult to attract middle-class families with young children because of affordability.While more acceptable than commercial development, replacing the old housing stockmakes many residents wary. Citizens believe residential redevelopment would bemore accepted if new houses were made to blend-in architecturally with thesurrounding homes and if limits were placed on the demolition of the original one-storyArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 20

The residents recommended studying methods to discourage mega-houses inthe Arlington Park neighborhood and exploring design standard incentives for newsingle-family residential housing in order to maintain the existing character ofneighborhood.Arlington Park stakeholders are not averse to economic development and revitalizationas long as it does not significantly change the physical appearance of theneighborhood or its residential character. If change is inevitable, residents will be moreaccepting of development if it is architecturally congruent with the historicneighborhood, if office/commercial activities within the neighborhood were limited, andif a large percentage of the original housing stock were preserved.LegendFuture Land UseTYPESingle Family (Low Density)Single Family (Moderate Density)Multiple Family (Moderate Density)Multiple Family (Medium Density)Mixed ResidentialNeighborhood OfficeCommunity Office / InstitutionalNeighborhood CommercialCommunity CommercialProduction Intensive CommercialResort ResidentialOpen Space-Recreational-ConservationDowntown Urban GeneralDowntown Urban Mixed-UseMetropolitan / Regional #1Metropolitan / Regional #2Metropolitan / Regional #3Metropolitan / Regional #4Metropolitan / Regional #5Metropolitan / Regional #6Metropolitan / Regional #7Metropolitan / Regional #8Metropolitan / Regional #9Metropolitan / Regional #10Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 21

FINANCING, IMPLEMENTATION, AND MONITORINGThis plan lists all the projects, programs, and improvements the stakeholders of theArlington Park neighborhood recommend for improving the area. The responsibleagents charged with implementing the recommended action items are depicted, alongwith proposed timeframes. The cost for these various items are also listed. The costsgiven are estimates provided by the appropriate departments and are subject tochange as projects become more refined. Costs will be verified and finalized prior toimplementation of specific action items.Adequate funding is a key element in successfully revitalizing a neighborhood. Thisdoes not mean all City resources will be diverted to one neighborhood per year.Rather, it means giving neighborhoods priority for funding, such as capitalimprovements. Capital improvement projects include installing new curb and gutter,sidewalks, streets, lighting, etc. Also, neighborhood associations may obtainneighborhood grants through the City’s Neighborhood Partnership Office, as well asSarasota County for small-scale projects. Hence, funding already exists for some ofthe recommendations. However, funding for other projects must still be secured.Resources will be researched and submitted by City staff. It is important to note thatArlington Park will be the first NAS neighborhood to utilize the City’s recently adopted“NAS Improvement Fund” of $300,000, managed by the Neighborhood PartnershipOffice. These dollars effectively replace the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funds that were used in past NAS neighborhoods and have since beenreallocated.Monitoring the implementation and effectiveness of the Arlington Park NAS requiresregular site visits, attending neighborhood association meetings, and internal meetingswith all involved City departments. A status report will be used to track theimplementation status of the different recommendations, actions, and projects.Analyzing data indicators will help City staff and neighborhood stakeholders realize thechanges in neighborhood conditions, measure the progress of the NAS, and respondproactively to destabilizing trends.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 24

APPENDIX A — Satisfaction SurveyA “Neighborhood Satisfaction Survey” is a tool used to gain information on residents’and property owners’ perceptions on various characteristics of the area. Surveys weremailed with a postage-paid return envelope to every parcel in the Arlington ParkNeighborhood. Of the 1372 surveys sent, 25% (349) were returned, an exceptionallyhigh response rate. The results of this survey identify specific areas of concern andopen the dialog for recommending improvements. Below is a brief summary andanalysis of the survey results followed by a copy of the survey and actual surveyresults of all responses received, in a tabular format.Arlington Park NeighborhoodThe residents of Arlington Park generally like their neighborhood. Its proximity to US41, downtown, two shopping malls, grocery stores, and restaurants is one of theneighborhood’s strong points; 89% of residents appreciate its convenient location, and54% cite location as the best feature of Arlington Park. As an older neighborhood, witha quaint, residential feel: neighbors are friendly; young and old families live in theneighborhood; the architecture is diverse; and landscaping is mature. Although thereare complaints, residents are generally satisfied with the neighborhood as a whole.For example, although 137 people mentioned code compliance as an area that needsattention, 60% of residents believed that code compliance standards were either goodor excellent. Residents can point out problem areas, but they are very content living inArlington Park.TrafficTraffic, noise, and speeding were listed as the most urgent concern by 142 people inthe neighborhood, indicating that residents feel this issue is the highest priority overother issues, such as code compliance and appearance (134 people) and crime (105people). Speeding is perceived as a major problem throughout the neighborhood,concerning 67% of residents. Neighbors believe that speeders are not residents, butmotorists using the residential streets to bypass traffic on major roads. Speed humpsare seen as inefficient at deterring speeding. Responders say that stop-signs aresometimes ineffective because overgrown trees often block them. Stop-sign running isa concern of 44% of the residents, the second highest traffic concern. Outsidemotorists not only violate the laws, their presence increases traffic volume within thearea, concerning 37% of residents.These conditions make walking and biking dangerous. Many say they would likeimproved sidewalks and more bike lanes throughout the neighborhood. Without thesefeatures, neighbors say it is dangerous for children to walk to school. Motorists arealso apprehensive about sharing the road with young bicyclists because bikers areperceived as unpredictable and often violate traffic laws.Noise caused by traffic is seen as a problem by 30% of residents. In the openresponse section, thirty-four people mentioned noise as the aspect they liked leastabout Arlington Park, the fourth most frequent complaint. Traffic traveling to and fromArlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 38

APPENDIX A — Satisfaction Survey (continued)the hospital, including loud car stereos and large trucks, emit noise both day and night.Children riding motorized scooters cause noise during the day, and many residentswere aggravated by such disturbances in this residential area.Code Compliance and Rental PropertiesBy a wide margin, improving the appearance of the neighborhood and greaterenforcement of City codes are improvements that residents would like to seeimplemented immediately. Forty-eight percent of residents consider the yards in theneighborhood to be in fair or poor condition. In the open response questions there arecomplaints of inoperable vehicles, large boats, temporary carports, and unattractiveproperties in general. The resident meetings revealed that the primary concern aboutunsightly properties is the fear they will affect property values.There is a general concern among homeowners about the number of renters. It isperceived that renters fail to maintain the properties, make noise, promote unsavorybehavior, fail to integrate into the community, and impact property values in general.According to residents, renters are the main source of code violations and unkemptproperties. Of particular concern are the Hillview Apartments, which were mentionednumerous times by survey respondents. Attracting crime, causing noise, and being ageneral eyesore, these apartments and some of their tenants are perceived as a threatto the neighborhood.CrimeNeighbors are not afraid to live in Arlington Park. Still, residents are concerned thatcrime could potentially have a large influence over the neighborhood. Rentalproperties are perceived as the harbinger of neighborhood decay, affecting the flight ofrespectable residents and attracting crime. Teenagers with nothing to do are also seenas a threat, congregating in the Park, doing drugs, vandalizing property, and causingmischief in general. The Park is seen as a potential threat, where unwanted personssuch as vagrants and youth may congregate at night to engage in criminal behaviorand cause trouble. According to survey results, 41% of residents would like to see anincreased police presence, both to patrol the neighborhood and to enforce speed limits.Fifty-two percent of residents believe that the lighting in the neighborhood is fair orpoor, with the concern that unlit areas have the potential to aid criminal activity.SummaryThe neighbors are generally concerned about safety and maintaining property values.Situated near many major roads and with vehicles speeding through the neighborhood,traffic is the largest perceived threat to safety. Fear of illegal activity is also mentioned;the perception of a low police presence and the absence of streetlights are seen as athreat. With the rising property values throughout the neighborhood, homeowners treattheir houses as an investment. They are concerned about unsightly appearances thatcould potentially affect property values, such as unkempt lawns, irresponsible renters,Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 39

APPENDIX A — Satisfaction Survey (continued)inoperable vehicles, and boats in the front yard. While Arlington Park is currently apleasant neighborhood to live in, the residents would like to maintain the area’s distinctresidential character through actions that will make the neighborhood safe to travel,secure from crime, and attractive to existing and potential homeowners.Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 40

APPENDIX B — Existing Neighborhood Conditions Data Dictionary and MapsThe “Neighborhood Conditions Survey” is a tool used to obtain a detailed image of theneighborhood’s overall conditions. The survey consists of seventeen questionsdesigned to evaluate a property’s building, landscaping, and surrounding infrastructureconditions. To establish internal validity on both question and response terminology,the student interns referred to the Neighborhood Condition Survey Data Dictionary forspecific criteria on how each parcel should be evaluated accordingly and uniformly. Inorder to visually assess each property, surveyors recorded data on each parcel’sexisting land use, occupancy status, cosmetic appearance, building and structuralconditions, yard conditions, and infrastructure elements such as sidewalks and streetlights. Once the data was collected from the survey site, the information was enteredinto a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) database to produce maps of theneighborhood’s variegated overall conditions (Appendix B1).Arlington Park Neighborhood Action Strategy 75
