The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invccatlon was given by the Reverend
E. C. Chastain of Skycrest Methodist Church. Cownissioner Watl<ins moved that the
minutes o~ the special meeting or June loth be approved in accordance with copies
furnished each member in \'lri tlng. f10tion \'las seconded by Conunissioner Strang and
carried unanimously.
l',:'.
The Mayor announced the Public Hearing on the construction or an eight inch
sanitary sewer in Betty Lane and in Palmetto to serve Lots 1 t11rough 11, inclusive,
Block E, Pinebrool<: Unit 2. The Manager reported that objections to the PI'oposed project
had been received from Mrs. Constance Matthews, ~~. Wallis A. Cady and Mr. E. B.
Casler~ Jr., attorney on behalf of Mr. Fred S~unders. The Engineer explained that the
original hearing had planned for construction in the rear o~ the lots but some or the
property owners had aSked that the Sei'1er be constructed in Betty Lane in front or the
homes so the hearing had been readvertised on that basis. Mr. E. B. Casler, speaking
on behalf of Mr. Saunders, was of the opinion that there was some responsibility on
the City's part because the builders of these houses were permitted to tap on the
transmission main and plumbing inspections were made and these O'i'mers were not told
thl s was an inadequate sewer service. He pointed out that ~Ghe proposed sewer \'Tould
only be serving the east side of Betty Lane and ~ould be assessed to one side of the
street only and he thought it i'lould be more equitable if it ,,'rerc planned to serve
both sides of the street and be assessed to bot11 sides. After discussion, it was
aGreed that the sewer ma:i.n should be planned to serve both sides of Betty Lane. A~ter
a vote \.,a8 talcen f'rom the affected property O\mers present, the ma,ior:i,ty indicated they
would be in favor of the pro ject if the cost ViaS di vided bet\'leen the property o\mers
on bot11 sides of the street. Commissioner Strang moved that this Public Hearing be
cancelled and be readvertised by the Engineer under a proper description to cover
both sides of the street that can be adequately served. Motion was seconded by
Conunissioner \'latldns and carried unanimously.
In re~ard to the bids for chlorine for the City for one year, the Nanager reported
that Allied Chlorine e: Chemical Company, Miami, \'ras low bidder at :~. 059 per pound :for
1 ton units but that Tesco Chemical and Harrison Products had both submitted a low bid
of .12'"(5 per 150 pound units; 11m'lever Allied Chlorine had sent a telegram on June 13th
wi thdra~ving its bid. He recommended that the PU1'chasing Agent be authorized to seelc
proposals at prices comparable \'/ith the lCM bids. Conunissloner Roberts moved that the
Purchasing Agent according to the ~1anager IS reconunendation be authorized to seel.;: out
reputable concerns to see if it is possible to negotiate for the chlorine on the low
bid basis, the price not to exceed .059 cents per pound for one ton units and for 150
pound cylinder units not to exceed $.1275 cents per pound. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously.
The fJIanager reported in order to institute ne\'1 accounting procedure and internal
control systems as of July 1, 1957, that certain equipment should be available and
ready f'or operation. He reccnunended that a checlc signing machine be purchased ~rom
The Todd Company -' St. Petersburg, in accordance i'li th a quotation of $806.50.
Commissioner Roberts aslced if' the 1m', regardinG obtaining bids had been satisf'ied.
It Vias the City Atto:rney's reconullendation that the City should advertise for bids on
the item. By consent, the Manager was requested to advertise for bids.
In regard to the surplus shack at the City Cemetery, the rt1anager reported that
when the building ,,'m s advertised for sale no bids 1-'Jere recei vedj hm'lever, since that
time r,1r. Bill ~'lallace, l3Lfl;} S. Fort Harrisor.. Avenue, has of'fcred $80.00 for the
bullding and agreed to remove it "/i thin thirty days. The Manager recommended that
the off'er be accepted. Comnissioner Roberts moved that the o~rer of Bill Wallace
for the surplus shacl\: at the City Cemetery for $80.00 be accepted. Motion \'las
seconded by Co~nissioner Insco and carried unanimously.
The f.1anager presented for approval the plat of I'loodmere Heights (a replat of
Replat o~ Blocks A, B, C" D of \'/oodmere) and reported that the developer, !'tlr.
Angelo J. Chiapputi, had signed the Ordinance 632 contract to cover the, improvements.
He reported that the developer had requested that Lots 1 and 31 be changed from R-4
to Business with the zoning ~or the balance of the plat to r-emain R-l but that the
Zoning Board recommended that the request be denied and the plat should continue
with the present zoning of R-4 for the south 150 feet (Lots 1 and 31) and that the
remainder' be R-l. Corrunissioner Strang moved approval of l'loodmere Heights Subdi vi sion

Clearwater, Florida
June 17, 1957
To the City Commission of
The City of Clearwater, Florida:
Gentlemen:
Fred Saunders by his undersigned attorney, files his objections to the improvements
contemplated by the Notice of Public Hearing heretofore received by him whereby it
appears that the City proposes to construct an eight inch sanitary sewer and appur-
tenances in Betty Lane and in Palmetto to serve lots 1 through 11 inclusive,
Blocle E Pinebroolc, Unit 1/:2, upon the following grounds:
1:
2:
3:
That there is an existing adequate sanitary sewer now serving the described lots.
There is no necessity for l1e\'1 sewer construction adjacent to the lots described.
By the adoption of the simple procedure o~ completing the existing sanitary
sewer, clean and open to the disposal plant, there would be no necessity for
the construction o~ a new sewer line.
There is no assurance that the construction of a new sewer line would be more
adequate than the present line.
Construction of anew line would thrust an inequitable cost burden upon the lot
om1ers and, ir constructed, the City should bear a substantial portion of the
expense, since payment by the lot owners would amount to double assessment.
The lot owners should not be penalized by faulty or inadequate construction
of the original sewer line.

6:
Respectfully submItted,
Fred Saunders,
BY_l~ E. B. Cusler, Jr.
~B.CasIer, Jr. his attorney
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 11, 1957
To the City Commission:
I am very much opposed to the constructiol~ of another sewer on Betty Lane such
as that now under consideration.
Such a sewer \rou1d do nothing to solve the basic problem, the infiltration o~
storm water into the trunl( sewer raster than it can be handled as sewage.
It would give us no added protection. Our horne, and five others I believe,
were r100ded on May 11 after the level of storm water in the sewer had been reduced.
Pulling a scooter through the sewer created a pressure which ~orced the dilute
sewage into our homes after \'le had been assured that the flood danger was over.
The sewer, if in fact a safety measure, could give no protection until comple-
tion--a matter of 60 to 90 days, or maybe longer.
The construction cost would be high. Above average, probably, because of the
depth of the sewer. And it would be nloney wasted if any progress is made in solving
the basic problem. In fact it would not be justified for most of the property
owners unless the bach:-up of storm water and sewage grew worse.
1117 N. Betty Lane
Sincerely yours,
/s/ \1a11i sA. . Cady

Wish to state that I am unalterably opposed to new sewer; as there is no
garrantee that tne B1tuation will not arise again. If there would be the con-
struotion of a new Dewer, it \'lou1d only give temporary relief.
If the oity solves problem o~ flooding~ there would not be any need for new sewer.

original hearing had planned for construction in the rear of the lat� but some o� the
propert,y owners had asked that the sewer be constructed in Betty Lane in front of the

on behalf of Mx�, Saun�.ers, was o£ the opin3on that �here was some responsibility or_
the Clty�s part because tha bu3lders ot' these houses were permitted to tap on the

this was an inadequate seFver service. He pointed out that the proposed sevrer t�rould.
only be serving the east side of Betty Lane and :•rould be assessed to one side of the
street only and he thaught it would be more equitable if it were planned to serve
both si,des of the street and be assessed to bo-�h sides. After d3scussio�z, it s�ras
a�reed tihaL the sewer m�.in should be planned t� serve both sides of Betty T,ane. Afber

To ihP City Commission of
The City of Clearwater, Florida;
Gentlemen:
Fred Saunders by his undersigned attorney, files his object3.ons to the improvements
contemplated bSr the Notice of Public Hearing heretofore rece��ved by him whereby it
appears that the City proposes to construct ari eigh-E inch sanitary sewer and appur-
te�ance� in Betty ZanE and in Palmet�co to serve lots 1 thraugh 11 inclusive,
Block E Pinebrook, Unit �, upon the f ollouring grounds:
1: That tn.ere is an ex�sting adeqLiate sanitary sewer now ser,ring the described lo1;s.
2: There is no necessity f�r new seTaer construct�on adjaeent to the lots described.
3: By the adcaption of tihe simple proeedure of c*�mpletin,r-� Lhe existing sanitary
sewer, clean and open Lo the disposal plant, there TNould be no neeessity i'or
the cqnstruction of a new sevrer line.
4: There is no assurance that the construction of a nev�t secver line would be more
adequate than tlze present line.
5; Construct�fon of anew line v�culd thrust an .znequitable cost burden upon the lot
�w7�ers and, if constructed, the Ci�y should bear a substantial portion of the
expense, since payment by the lot ovaners would amount to clouble-assessment.
6r The lot owners snould noti be penalized by faulty or inadequate canstruction
o�' the original sewer line.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred Saundera,

To the City Commission:
I am very much opposed to the construction pf another sewer on Betty Lane such
as that now under consideration.
Such a sewer tvould do nothin� tc solve the basic problem, the infiltration �f
storm Srater into the trun�; se��rer faster than 7 t can be handled as sewage .
Tt would give us ��o added proteetion. Our izome, and fit�e others I believe,
zvera floodect on May 11 after the level of storm ivater in the setaer had been reduced,
Pulling a scooter thr•ough the sevrer created a pressure which forced the dilute
s�5-rage into our homes af�er we had been as�ured that the flood danger was over.
The sewer, ii in fact a safety m�asure, could �ive no Arotection until comple-
t:i:on--a matter of 60 to 90 days, or maybe longer. -
The construction cost would be high. Above average, probably, because of the
depth of the sevrer. And it �vould be money v7asted if any progress is made in solving
the basic problem. In fact it ivould no� be jvstified for most of the property
ovmers unless the bacIc-up of atorm water a�Zd sewage �rew �vorsL.
Sincerely ;��+ars,
