7. Silt screens or staked silt barriers will be used as directed by the Project
Engineer to maintain State Water Quality Standards.
8. All natural water flow will be maintained in a manner determined by the
Contractor and approved by the Project Engineer.
9. The new bridge will be constructed in a two phase operation. In the initial
phase the traffic will be maintained on the existing structure while 27' of
the western most portion of the new structure is constructed. Upon completion
of this portion, traffic will be diverted to this new section and the remaining
portion of the new structure will be built.
10. This proj ect will require the following volumes of earthwork:
Fill Waterward of MHW: 1835 cubic yards
Excavation Waterward of MHW: 364 cubic yards

that James Witt of the Department of Transportation and Mr. Lester
Dicus, owner of the property where the easement problem occurred, have
gotten together and that DOT understands it will have to acquire the
property in question from Mr. Dicus before it can enter on to it.
Mr. Jordan advised that the State Report is favorable
and that the Engineering Department recommends approval of the appli-
cation, with waiver of fees, based on the following "Findings of Fact":

1. Present bridge location on U.S. Alternate 19
(Edgewater Drive) over Stevenson Creek and
adjacent properties from an aerial view.
2. Two dredge area locations which will require
the excavation of 364 cubic yards of material
below the MEW line.
3. Four fill area locations which will require
1,835 cubic yards of fill to be placed below
the MHW line.
4. Proposed seawall locations each side of the
proposed bridge.
Mr. Jordan stated that the applicant proposes to replace the
existing bridge with a structure 116 feet long and 70 feet wide and
that it will provide a vertical clearance of 6.7 feet above MHW and
a horizontal clearance of 35.7 feet between the pile caps.

A. Description of proposed project and construction techniques. Quantify area of project which elltends into wetlands
and/or waterward of the apparenl mean high wale, line.
The applicant proposes to replace an existing bridge on Alternate
U.S. 19 at Stevenson Creek with a larger concrete bridge. The
new bridge is to be 116 feet long by 60 feet wide. The minim~~
vertical clearance over ~~e creek will be 6.7 feet. The con-
struction wi1.l require the placement of a total of 1835 cubic
yards of fill waterward of Mean High Water at four (~) separat7
sites for the bridge approaches. A total of 364 cub~c yards w~ll
be d'redged waterward of Mean High I'later and 500 cubic yards
dredged landward of Mean High Water at both ends of the proposed
bridge.
B, Biur>hysicallealure. of 1I"".,al D.... (incluJe commenu concerning ...."'I of ll......M.lI'JnwHlI uf 1IIIjt)lIlll'Y PI",""'.").
-The project site at Alternate U.S. 19 and Stevenson Creek. The
surrounding uplands are primarily co~ercially developed, with
some single family residential development. Stevenson Creek
is a natural navigable creek which drains a large area of the
Cities of Clearwater and Dun~din. The creek is tidal at the
project site.
C. Biophysical featurn of specific project sile (and spoil site when appropriate. include identification of bollom tvpes).
Four (4) different types of habitat were evident at the four (4)
separate fill sites. The area to the northwest of the bridge
was characterized by a sandy beach with a small but dense growth
of smooth cordgrass and black and white mangroves just west of
the fill area. Fiddler craos were aoundant in the cordgrass
area. Water transparency was less than 1 foot as are.; :ll t of
strong winds and wave action at the tiJUe of inspection. North-
east of the bridge L~e bank is seawalled and' no aquatic vegetation
was present. No faunal species were seen either. The bottom was
sand/shell with some concrete rubble and water transparency was
approximately 2 feet. The area to the southeast of the bridge
was characterized by a small but dense growth of black mangroves
and sparse growths of cordgrass. Part of this growth will be de-
stroyed by the proposed filling. Numerous pinfish and grunt were
being caught by fishermen in this area at the time of inspection.
The bottom was sandy and water transparency was approximately 2
feet. The area southwest of the bridge was sand beach with no
aquatic flora or fauna immediately evident.
The dredge areas were chara~terized by rock and concrete rubble
riprap partially encrusted with oysters and barnacles.

The proposed project will involve filling and dredging small
areas of marine habitat of varying degrees of productivity.
The most significant area to be destroyed is that to the
southeast of the bridge. However, this is a relatively small
area and the adverse impact resulting from the fill would
not be deemed significant.

In response to the Chairman's call for opponents, Lester
Dicus, 1665 Cleveland Street, Clearwater, appeared and stated that:
1. He and his wife own the Sunset Point Hotel located
on Lot 1, Sunset Point Subdivision which consists
of all land west of a right-of-way on Edgewater
Drive (U.S. Alternate 19) and north of the bridge
consisting of 453.56 feet fronting on the highway.
2. He does not object to the widening of the bridge
which is needed but does object to the proposed
placement of the bridge.
3. As a property owner he has not been notified by
D.O.T. of its intentions or of the proposed
construction of the bridge.
4. His property is within four feet of the present
bridge and there is no easement over his pro-
perty on the westerly side of the bridge ex-
cept for the four feet and that the State does
not have title to his land.

January 16, 1979
5. He has been unable to obtain information directly
from D.O.T. but from information furnished by the
Coast Guard, the proposed bridge will be over his
property.
6. The proposed bridge could be constructed by ex-
tending the present bridge 20 feet on the west-
erly and easterly sides instead of the proposed
40 feet on the westerly side.
7. The westerly side of U.S. Alternate 19 has
several motels whereas the easterly side is
vacant land owned by the City of Clearwater
and is used as a park.
Mr. Jordan stated that Mr. Pickhaver of the State D.O.T.
has certified to the Authority that the State has easements or owns
all property involved in this permit.
After discussion, Chairman Wornicki suggested that Mr.
Jordan help Mr. Dicus obtain the information he needs from D.O.T.
and that it might be advisable to defer the hearing on this appli-
cation for 30 days.
