To this date there are still lots where the weeds have not been cut for 3 years or more and we are now faced with a problem of field mice and rats. There are mounds of dirt g feet high which cannot be cleared of ~eeds unless graded first. This makes ideal nesting for mice and rats. The t~o temporary buildings wi~hout purpose also depreciate the entire subdivision. This condition has very seriously affected our business on this finger and wish immediate action now, before the ~inter tour~5ts arrive, and some preventive measures taken to their reacurrence. ':!e also ~ish to advise the city of the constant "Hot Rodding" and late hour park- ing off the streets, ~hich seems to be uncontrollable by our Police Department. /Signed by ~ine persons/ - - - '- - - - - - - ~ - ~ - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - " 'I" , '" .:~' """''''''''''~''-'''~'''',I''",,,,:.''',!., -""""""._~C"..;;;'~'ll'i';o<",,,"""'-', ,,_ . ~.. . .';!":;..:;" " ,', ...

'- - Our area has legally been a part of the City of Clearwater for many years. We are now, ~ith over fifty homes in the area, requesting in fact the benefits provided to citizens of Clearwater. These benefits arei adequate police protection, sanitary sewers, insect control, street and right of way maintenance, and street lighting. At this time, we are specifically requesting installation of appropriate street lighting. The homeowners manirest their interest in a desireable neighborhood as part of the City of Clearwater, by investing considerable sums of money and time in the architecture, landscaping and maintenance of their homesites. Therefore we request light standards and fixtures of a type which will be harmonious to the Del Oro Groves Estates concept. The homeowners, after due consideration, have reached a decision that the ~ood pole, overhead wire type of installation is not compatible with 'our area and we therefore request your approval and authorization for the installation of residential light standards, fixtures, and under- gro und wi ring. We, the undersigned homeowners and taxpayers, hereby manifest our desire and support ror this requested action by your commission. .' ; f..
