The Mayor suggested offering Mr. Rogers a co nt ract for him to advance the $33 J 578. 75 and t hat the City w:>uld require any other persons seeking to tap on the transmission main later to bear their proportionate share or the cost of the mm n. It was suggested that in drawing up a proposed contract, the subdivider should be required to pay a tapping fee on all the acreage he owns at once and not just a portion of it. By consent r the Engineer was instructed to make a i map showing the entire area concerned and present definite figures for a wa~er tapping fee based on acreage for a proposed cont.ract) the Attorne y was inst.ructed to draw up the cont.ract, and the 1v1a.nager was "to offer t.he contract to Mr. Rogers for his approval and bring it to the next regular Commission meeting for approval. A letter was presented from the Junior Chamber of Conmerce in regard to making a bid to bring the Wor1d Men's Sortha,ll Tournament to Clearwater in 1957. COIlIl1issioner Insco moved that the Connnission accept the letter from the Junior Chamber of Commerce (apJroved by the President of the Bomber Booster Club) containing the Junior Chamber of Commerce's statement of interest regarding the World Men's Soft-ball 'l'ournament in 1957. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimously. Commissioner Insco moved that the Acting City Manager be authorized and directed to write a letter committing the City to guarantee to ~he Clearwater Junior Chamber of COlnmerce its bid and its initial expense in conducljing a tournament, all in connection with its efforts to have Clearwa~ er desi gna ted as t. he location for 1:, he 1957 World Men's Sof'tball 'l'ournament with the total liability of the Cit.y t.o be as set cut in said lettero Motion was seconied by Commissi oner Roberts and carried unanimously. Commissioner Watkins moved that Mr. Eddie Moore be authorized to go to Phoenix, Arizona (i~onnection with securing the World Men's Softball Tourna- menl. for Cle ar\iater I in 1957) and that his expens es be pai d out of' the Recreati on Department budget for ~~avel. Motion wad seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimouslY$ Mr. Fral'lk Partridge~ 406 Harnden Drive, owner of Bay Lawn Apartment s, complained about the progress of the wcrk on the lift station being bdlt;, at Hamd~n Drive and Fifth Street, saying that the front of his place has been cluttered up with debris for some time. 'I'he Engineer reported that t.he con- tractor has had some difficult.y on the job but t;.he work is on schedule. Commissioner Strang assured ~w. Partridge that Lhe Engineer would he asked t.o look into this it.em and try Co keep the work on schedul~ as much as possible. In reference to a n opinion requested on an additional se werage Charge per lot. t.o cover cost of expansion of or additional capacity needed in the sewage disposal plantsJ the City Attorney stated t.hat the right La make special assessmerii s is based on benefits conferred to a particular property; where the Cit y has furnished some pro~rty o\1\l1ers a service such as a sewer servicer there- aftert the City does not have the right to assess him a~ain unless there ~8 some change in his particuler pro}-'erty whi ch increases the be nefit he is going tio get from the sewer, and t.he mere fact that the disposal plat is deteriorating does not provide a reason for charging hirnrrore for that service. Ho said where the City has never furnished the property owne rs a service in an un- sewered area, particularly when it isnecessary to bu!ld a separate disposal plant, there is a benefit and need; ~~ a new subgivision outside the City, there is no quest ion about charging for the cost of providing additional capaci ty in the sewage disposal plant. By com ent, the Att orney was i,nstructed to draw up a brief outline of how to proceed on increasing the sewer tapping fee inside the City and on setting up a charge on a square footage basis for new subaivisions. to cover capacity in the disposal plants. 'l'he Attorney read a lett.er from Mr. H. Lane Coachman on behalf of Ewing ~'operties, Incorporated, stating his client had entered int.o a purchase agreemenL for the north 356 feet of Lot 2, Replat of Lakewood Subdivision, and asking for an interpretation of tb:: Zoning Ordinance to see whether the area could be used for parking as it adjoins property presently owned by his client in the SEi of the SW~ of the NEt of Section 14-29-15. It was the City Attorney's opinion that although Keystone Avenue is between these ~w~ properties that since no privateg-operty intervenes,it can be considered abutting for tihat. purpose. there was some question from the Commission since Mr. Howard Ewing's business is being condw:ted in a Busire ss Zone and t te adjoining R-4 area was already being used for parkin:;: as to whetiher the parking privilege could be continued to an area now zoned R-2. By consent, the C1 ty Atto rney was instnucted t. 0 check f'urther on t he matt er. 1,' ' >, l~i~~~~ii; ""1''' f;f\\!; I".'" '/..~.': 1...., : .' .~......'. fa!lf~&t.. Commissioner Roberts inquired if the Police Department could require tihose persons parking in the parking lot at Howard's Auction to use the driveways for ingress and egress and to stop the driVing over the curb as it is increasing the traffic problem on Gulf to Bay Boulevard. After disQussion, tihe City Attorney sugges"ted it might be well to contact Mr. Ewin:g;since he had expressed a desire to cooperate wit h the City to see if he would erect some kind of small barricades to prevent the cars drivi.ng over the curb.

My client, Austin Fillmon, owns this tract and the tract immediately adjacent thereto on the north where he recently constructed a dwelling in which he resides. His family owns Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 am 8 of the same subdivision. the subject lot is on the Northwest corner of Washington Avenue and Vernon Street as shown on Page 32 of the City's Plat Book, and it is my client's desire to cons~ruct thereon a duplex d~e11ing 80 feet long, set back on the sout.h in back of this lot facing Vernon Street 25 feet, and my specific request is tha t, he be allowed a 15 foot setback on t he East end of th e said lot rac ing Washington Avenue. He fee Is that his recent improvement to the neighborhoo d by the construction of his own residence am together with this proposed structure would greatly enhance me property values in the neighborhood, and it, would be impossIble to construct a proper sized duplex dwelling on this lot complete wit.h carport without this 15 foo~ setback, and he also feels it would be an undue hardship on him to be forced 'to bni.ld a single-.family dwelling on t.his R-2 zoned lot.

In reference to an opinion requested �n an additional sewera�e charge per lot to cover cosi: of expansion of or additional capacity needed in trie sewage disposaZ plants, the City Attorney stated th�t the right to make spe^ial assessments is based on benei�its conferred to a particul2r propsrty; where �he City has furnished some property o�ers a service suah as a se�ver service, there- after, the City does not have the right to assess him again unless there is some change in his particular property �ahich increases �he benefit he is going to get from i;he sewer, and the mere fact that the disposal plat is deteriorating does not provide a reason ior charging himuare for thaL service. He said where the City has never furnished the property owne rs a service in an un- sewered area, �rticularly when it isriecessary to build a separ�t� disposal plant, tthere is a benefit and need; in a r�ew sub�ivision outside the City, there is no question about chargin� for the cost of providing additional capacity in the sewage disposal plan�. By consent, the Attorney was instxucted to driaw up a brief outline of how to proceed on increasing the sewer tapping fee inside the Cit3r and on setting up a char�e on a square footage basis for new subflivisions, to cover capacity in tne disposal plants. 2"he Att orney read a lett8r from Mr. H.

It was the City Attorney's opinion tha� although Keystone Avenue is between these twa prnpErties thzt since no privat��roperty intervenes,it can be considered abutting for thaL psrpos�. 'Phere was some questi�n from the Commission since Mr. Howard �win,g's business is being conducted in a Business Zone and the adjoining R-4 area was already being used for parkin7 as to wl�ether the parkin_g privilege could be continued to an �rea now zoned A-2. By consent, the City Attorney was inst�ucted t o check further on t he matt er. Commissioner Roberts inquired if the Police Departn�en:: could require those persons parking in �he parking lot at Howard's Auction to use the driveways far ingress and egress and to stop i;he driving r�v�r the curb as it is increasin� the traffic problem on Gulf to Bay Bot�levard. After disaussion, Ghe City Attorney suggested it might be wall to contact Mr. Ewirt.;g;since he had expressed a desire to cooperate with the City to see if he would erect some kind of scnall bai•ricadcs to prevent the cars drivin� over the curb, By consent, the i�an ager was asked to c ontac � ��'Ir , Ewi ng for th i s ptr pos e. �, � _6_ CTTY CQMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 21, 1957 `1'he City Attor.ney presented Resolution 57-2 authorizin� application for federal aid for completion of construction of the Marshall Street Disposal Plant and asked for a motion : cor�irming .he adopt�on of suah 3�esdution.

My client, Austin Fillmon, owns this tract and the tract immediately adjacent �hereto on the north where he recently constructed a dweliing in which he resides. His family owns Lots 3, �., 5, 6, � ar� $ of the same subdivision. 2'he subject lot is on the Northwest corner of Washing�on Avenue and Vernon Street as shown on Page 32 of the �ity's Plat Book, and it is my client's desire to construct thsreon a duplex dwelling $0 feet long, set back on th� south in back of this lot f'3cing Vernon Street 25 feet, and :ny speci�ic request is tha t he be allowed a 15 foot setback on the East end af th e said lot fac ing Washington Aver�ue. He feels that his recent improvement to th� neighborhood �iy the construction of his nwn rEsidence ard together with this propoaed structure would greatly enhance the property values in the neighborho:xi, and it v�ould be impossible to construct a proper sized duplex dwelling on this lat complete wiLh carport without this 1.5 foot se4back, and he also feels iL would be an undue hardship on him to be forced to build a single-family dwelling on tihis R-2 zorred lot .
