D. F:1nch Cleveland Insco, Jr. Amos G. Smi th Robert L. Weatherly Absent: Mayor-ComnUssioner Conun1.ssioner Conun1.ssioner Conun1.ssioner James H. 'Watkins Conun1.ssioner Also present were: James R. stewart H. H. Baskin, Jr. S. Lickton Sgt. W. premru City Manager City Attorn~y City Engineer Representing Police Chief The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by the Reverend Paul Kinports or st. Paul's Lutheran Church, Clearwater. By consent, the Commission deviated from the agenda to consider a letter ~rom Mr. WIn. Wightman. A letter was read ~rom Mr. W. S. Wightman asking that he be heard regarding the intention of Ace Liquor Store to trans~er its liquor license from 45 East Avenue to a newly built drive-in package store at the southwest corner of Phoenix Avenue and Gulf to Bay. Mr. Wightman pointed out that his client on October 14, 1959, had received a letter from the c~ty Clerk stating that Lot 1, Block C~ Suburb Beautiful Subdivision, was zoned to permit a package store on the property, and then had obligated himself under a nine year lease or the property to build a $10,000.00 building. He stated the actual measurement from the rront of the store to the present front of St. paul's Lutheran Church was some 490 feet, well over the 200 feet required by Section 3, Subparagraph 1, Chapter 15, Code of the City or Clearwater. The Mayor stated the measurements were from the chapel door to the rront door of the wineroom but the church eventually would be on Gul~ to Bay Boulevard and he thought it would be contrary to the general welfare of the City to put a drive-in liquor store directly at the front door of the church. Mr. George Gruber, secretary of the church council of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, objected on behalr of the council and stated the vacant land between the present chapel and Gulf to Bay is to be used to build a church and the property is presently in the name of the church. ~. John Bohannon, the Reverend E. C. Chastain of Skycrest Methodist Church, the Reverend Carl W. Houston o~ Skycrest Baptist Church and the Reverend Hugh E. Powel of Trinity Presbyterian Church voiced opposition to the location o~ the liquor store. The Clerl{ read a petition of objection signed by seven property uwners living in the 500 block of Phoenix Avenue. Mrs. Arthur Britton, 1622 Dartmouth, spoke in opposition. Mr. Wightman made an oral request ror the transfer of the license ~rom 45 East Avenue to 1751 Gul~ to Bay Boulevard. Commissioner Weatherly moved upon receipt of the petition received by the City Clerk that the Comndssion deny the transfer of this license and that said transfer o~ license be denied on the grounds that it would be contrary to the general welfare o~ the City based upon facts that this Comndssion has heard and considered at this meeting here today and other evidence to be brought before the CommiSSion, that is tangible evidence such as deeds and other records. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried unanimously. The Mayor by consent deviated from the agenda to present the Walker Safety award to Assistant Chief W. Mackey on behalf of the Police Department for traffic safety in the year 1959. Commissioner Insco moved to approve the minutes or the regular meeting of February 15th and the special meeting of February 29th as recorded and as submitted in written summation by the Clerk to each Commissioner subject to Commissioner Watkins' approval when he returns. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried unanimously. A Public Hearing was announced on the construction of sanitary sewer in Overlea Street rrom a point 320 feet west o~ Rollen Road to a point 60 feet west of Rollen Road to serve Lots 17 and 18, Block D, and Lots 1,2,3,4, Block E, Pine Ridge Subdivision. The Engineer estimated the approximate cost at $1,562.50 or $3.88 per rront assessable foot. The Mayor asked if there were any objections and there were none. Inasmuch as we do not have any objectors and there is no one present except those in favor, Commissioner Smith moved that the proper officials be authorized to go forward with this work. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. The Manager recommended accepting the low bid of $535.00 (an alternate bid) from Business Equ~pment, Clearwater, for one automatic printing calculator ror utilities Department.

", .-. ~ jS-7 -2- CITY COMMISSION MEETING March 7, 1960 It was recommended by the Manager that the low bid of $636.35 from Epperson & Company, Tampa, be accepted for one air compressor for utilities Department, Gas Division. Con~issioner Insco moved on recommendation of the utilities Manager, Gas Superintendent and Assistant Purchasing Agent that the lowest bid of $636.35 submitted by Epperson & Company, Tnmpa, be accepted and the appropriate officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. Regarding bids for a double diaphragm pump for utilities Department Gas Division, the Manager recommended the acceptance of the low bid of $1,088.13 from Grass Equipment Company, Inc., Tampa. Commissioner Smith moved on the joint recommendation of the utilities Manager, Gas Superintendent, Assistant Purchasing Agent with the City Manager concurring therein, and sufficient unencumbered balance being available, that the contract for the double diaphragm pump be awarded to the Grass Equ~pment Comp~ny for the amount of $1,088.13, which is the lowest and the best responsible bid, and the appropriate officials of the City be authorized to execute the contract which shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications and bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanilliously. The Manager recommended accepting the low bid of $54,528.00 from Rock\'lell Manufactur- ing Company for 2400 gas meters with a trade in allowance of $2,640.00 for old meters, and the low bid of $1,749.00 from J. M. Smithers & Company for 300 gas regulators. Commissioner Weatherly moved upon the recommendation of the utilities Manager, utilities Service Supervisor, Finance Director and Assistant Purchasing Agent that the contract for gas meters be awarded to Roclewell Manufacturing Company, Atlanta, Georgia, the low bid being $54,528.00 less trade-in allowance for old tin case meters of $2,640.00, and the contract for ~as regulators be awarded to J. M. Smithers & Company, Atlanta, Georgia, in the amount of ~1,749.00, these being the lowest and best responsible bids, and that the appropriate officials of the City be authorized to execute said contracts which shall be in accordance with plans and specifications and the bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. It was reported by the Manager that only one bid had been received to construct sani tary sewers in Myrtle Avenue from Parle to Cleveland, that one being from K. W. Moore, Tampa, in the amount of $6JL~75.50. The Manager recommended that this bid be rejected and the project be re-advertised as the bid was much higher than the City Engineer's estimate -- $2,720.00. Commissioner Insco moved that all bids for the Myrtle Avenue sanitary sewers from Park to Cleveland be rejected. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. A letter \'las read from r/lr. Frank Tack, Chairman, ParIes and Recreation Board, reporting the Board had approved the plans for ten tennis courts in Crest Lake Park. Mrs. H. D. Cranmer representing neighbors in the vicinity spoke in opposition to the courts being located in Crest Lake Parle. Commissioner \veatherly stated an estimate of $54,764.70 had been received from the City Engineer on the cost of ten courts at Crest Lake, and since the City has only $100,000.00 allocated in the revenue certificate issue for recreational facilities and $65,000.00 must be used to pay for Ross Norton Park, it would leave only $35,000.00 for tennis courts and other sport facilities. He recommended that five additional courts be constructed at the Municipal Auditorium site on Pierce Boulevard at an estimated cost of $24,450.00 leaving $10,000.00 for play- ground equipment in other parIes. Commissioner Insco and the other Commissioners were in favor as this was the most econonlical location and would leave funds to develop other play areas. Mr. E. S. Beeland representing the Clearwater Tennis Club indicated the alternate proposal would be satisfactory as it would accomplish centralization of the courts with the amount of money available. Conwissioner Weatherly moved to keep the four present tennis courts at the Municipal Auditorium, to construct five additional courts at the same location and start this immediately. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. Captain W. Beam replaced Sergeant W. Premru to represent the Police Chief at the meeting. Regarding the proposed new addition to the Clearwater Library, Mrs. Frances Filewicz, member of the Library Board, reported Mr. John Hall Jacobs, an expert in library design from New Orleans, after inspecting the present library, had reported the present building was not adequate for expansion as there were too many walls that could not be taken out, that a good library should have open space, but his secondary recommendation was to extend the building. Mr. Joseph Coggan, architect, stated his recommendation would be to add to the building on the north side leaving access for maintenance of the water line in the easement and continuing the same floor levels as in the original building. The Mayor pointed out that $125~000.00 from the revenue certificate issue would be available for the addition, that approximately $25,000.00 can be used in furnishing and redecorating the old part of the library to blend in as one unit with a modern front all the way across, and that the remaining $50,000.00 would be used to build a new negro library and to install and set up the library in the Clearwater Beach Memorial Civic Center. By consent, the architect was instructed to continue work on the plans for the addition. The Manager reported the Parking Board had approved the proposed plans for the Pferce Street parking lot as submitted by Wilbur Smith & Associates with the spaces on a 75 degree layout. The City Engineer recommended the spaces be laid out on a 60 degree angle for ease in getting out and in. The Mayor stated the Parking Board would accept that plan and ir the Engineer recommended 60 degree angle parking they would have no objection. Commissioner Weatherly moved for the sake of uniformity that the City Manager be instructed to accept the notification from the City Engineer that we use 60 degree parking in all parking lots subject to the Parking Board's approval and put this plan out for bids as soon as possible. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. ~-.,._.... 'l"fr*h ~... I !

Commissioner Insco moved that the letter be received and that the City Manager be instructed to set up another conference \'/i th the City Commission of Dunedin. Motion was seconded by COITullissioner vJeatherly and carried unanimously. A letter from Mr. William Burchenal, Jr., President, made application for Rent- a-Boat, Inc., 200 Windward Passage for a permit to comply with Ordinance 842 and stated the regulations governing charter boats will govern where applicable and in addition the applicant would keep a complete log of all rentals. Commissioner Smith moved the permit be granted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimoUSly. A letter was presented ~rom Mr. H. P. Constantine on behalf of Mrs. Sara P. Carmack stating his client as owner of the north 90 feet of west 30 feet of Lot 10 and north go feet of east 40 feet of Lot 11, Property of George W. Washburn, would l~ke to find out if the City would be interested in using her property for parking purposes if the present building was dismantled. The Manager reported the City Engineer had studied the lot but found that the property was too small and would not conform to the City's overall parking plan. Commissioner Smith moved that since it does not seem feasible for the City to use it at this time for parking, that the owner be so n6ti~ied. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. The City Engineer asked approval to relocate about 260 feet of sanitary sewer in Pierce Street east of Greenwood Avenue. Commissioner Smith moved that the City Manager and the City Engineer be authorized to relocate the sewer in Pierce Street extension. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. Resolution 60-14 was presented requiring six property owners to clean their lots of weeds and underbrush. Commissioner Insco moved Resolution 60-14 be passed and adopted and the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried unanimously. Resolution 60-15 was presented assessing the cost of curbs, drainage and widening in Mars Avenue from Drew to Gulf to Bay and in Meteor Avenue from Cleveland to Drew and curbs and drainage in Cleveland from approximately 145 feet west o~ Saturn Avenue to approximately 135 feet east of Meteor Avenue against the benerited properties. Commissioner Smith moved that Resolution 60-15 be approved and the proper of~icials be authorized to execute same. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. Resolution 60-16 was presented directed to the U.S. Army Engineers Corps, Jackson- ville, Florida, stating the City upon completion o~ the new bridges will accept title to and maintenance of the existing bridges on the east and west end of the Memorial Causeway. Commissioner Weatherly ~oved Resolution 60-16 be adopted and that the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith and carried unanimously.

Commissioner Smith moved Resolution 60-17 be passed and adopted and that the proper ot:ficials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherly and carried unanimously. The Attorney presented for its first reading Ordinance 857 declaring the City'S intention to annex Lot 3, Block 0, Salls Subdivision, and Lot 1, Grove Circle. The Zoning and Planning Board had reconmended that Lot 3, Block G, Salls Subdivision, be zoned Business and that Lot 1, Grove Circle, be zoned R-l. Mr. John Bonner, attorney representing Dr. G. H. Draxten, stated his client had amended his request and was asking only that Lot 3 be annexed as he wished to build a medical clinic building and wanted to obtain connection to City sewer. Mr. R. J. Milbauer, attorney representing seventy-nine property owners in the affected area, presented a petition of opposition to the proposed annexation of Lot 3 and stated at the present that County zoning regulations would require Dr. Draxten to furnish parking spaces for the proposed building and City zoning would not have that requirement. He asked delay to have a conference with Mr. Bonner and his client. The Mayor suggested the ordinance could be read on t:irst reading and explained it would take at least thirty days after paSsage of Ordinance 857 before adoption of an annexation ordinance. Corrmdssioner Weatherly moved Ordinance 857 be considered on its first reading. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously.
