The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Rev.
Walter Hall, Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church. Commissioner Insco moved that
the minutes of the regular meeting of April 16, 1962 and the special meeting of
April 26, 1962 be approved as recorded and as submitted in written summation by
the Clerk to each Commissioner. Notion was seconded by Commissioner Fields and
carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced National Youth Day at which time a group of students
from Clearwater High School study the various departments, visit the Commission
meeting and hold a mock session of their own. He turned the program over to Mr.
John Hanna who proceeded to introduce the students involved and they proceeded
to hold a Commission session taking over the places of their counterpart City

meeting to order. Commissioner Fields moved to e~cuse Commissioner Insco who
was attending a funeral. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion which was
approved unanimously.
The Mayor announced a public hearing of an appeal from a decision of the
Board of Adjustment and Appeal on Zoning. Mr. Ben Krentzman representing James
A. and Miles J. Novotny presented the case and explained that the Board had granted
their request but imposed a particular condition which would prove to be a hardship
on his clients, by preventing them from erecting a windbreak or fence between the
setbacks granted and the lot line. Mr. Donald C. McDonald owner of the Sandman
Motel read a prepared statement opposing the granting of the request.
(Commissioner Insco arrived at this time, 2:35 P.M.) Upon consideration, de novo,
of the appeal of James A. Novotny and Miles J. Novotny from the decision of the
Building Inspector and Board of Adjustment and Appeal on Zoning concerning a ten
foot setback from Third Street and a five foot setback from the east side of Lot 1,
Block "A", Columbia Subdivision No.2, it appearing after this duly constituted
public hearing that there are practical difficulties and unnecessary hardships in
carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as it
affects such property and that the same can be varied within the intent of the
Zoning Ordinance, Commissioner Turner moved that such appeal be granted in accordance
with the application submitted therein, to allow said ten foot setback from Third
Street and five foot setback from the east side of said lot with the provision that
the right to obtain a building permit in accordance with such special exception
shall cease after six (6) months from this date. Notion was seconded by Commissioner
Fields. Mayor Weatherly, Commissioner Turner, Commissioner Fields and Commissioner
Smith voted "Aye", Commissioner Insco abstained from voting due to absence from the
hearing. Motion carried.
The City Manager recommended accepting the low bid of $678.25 from M. D. Moody
& Sons for one traffic paint striping machine. Commissioner Smith moved upon rec-
ommendation of the Police Chief and the Assistant Purchasing Agent and the City
Manager that the lowest bid in the amount of $678.25 submitted by M. D. Moody &
Sons Inc., Tampa be accepted which shall be in accordance with specifications and
plans of the bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Fields and carried unanimously.

of the Utilities Manager, Gas Superintendent and Assistant Purchasine Agent that
the lowest bid of $2,120 submitted by Southern Pipe Coating Company, Doraville,
Georgia be accepted and the appropriate officials be authorized to execute the
cont~act. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Turner and carried unanimously.
The City Manager recommended the low bid of $974.50 from Automatic Signal
Division for one traffic signal controller be accepted. He stated, however, that
this bid had been for the controller to be located at the corner of Cleveland and
LinCOln, but since the item was put for bid it had been determined that one would
be needed at the entrance to Island Estates and therefore recommended that two be
purchased. Commissioner FieldS moved on the recommendation of the City Manager,
Electrical Superintendent and Assistant Purchasing Agent that the bid of the
Automatic Signal Device Company, Horwalk, Connecticut in the amount of $974.50 be
! doubled to cover the purchase of two signal controllers, it being an emergency

The City t1anager presented proposed relocation of the lawn bowling and shuffle-
board facilities to cost between $150,000 and $175,000 which would increase the
number of courts for both. He recommended an architect be employed to design the

stated a committee of the club has viewed different sites and recommended the north-
west corner of Gilbert Street and Hercules Avenue. He said that a referendum had

Turner and approved unanimously.
Mr. Mathews stated that service would be improved by the contemplated reloca-
tion of the Railway Express and introduced Mr. Robert Baker, President of the

location, but that bookkeeping and accounting would be done at the new location.

possibility of an increase of employees. Both Mr. Barrett and Mr. Mathews requested

gested that the Clearwater officials meet \-1i th the officials of other ci ties in the

new plumbing code to permit them to use fiber pipe, commonly known as Orangeburg
pipe, as the City has not finished the sewer project in the area. He stated that
those who had already signed contracts were permitted to use this type of pipe but
others who did not wish to sign contracts until the project was ready, were denied
the use of this cost saving feature. A plumber, Mr. Jack Burnison, and Mr. Charles
A. Lock of the Southern Clay Pipe Institute protested the use of this type of pipe.
Mr. Edwin A. Smith requested permission to use it as it made a saving of approx-
imately $140.00 for him. Commissioner Fields moved that in view of the undue hard-
ships imposed by the enactment of the plumbing code of the City of Clearwater, 1962,
upon the residents. in Fair Oaks Subdivision Sewer Project Area and in view of the
fact that many of the residents are in the process of negotiating contracts for
the installation of fiber pipe, that a moratorium be declared in the enforcement of
the prohibition against fiber pipe for thirty days from the date of this motion,
said moratorium to apply only to property owners located in the aforementioned area.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Turner and carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 62-56 was presented authorizing the payment of $7,781.23 to J. E.

orized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Turner and approved
unanimously.

No. 62-57 be approved and the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously.
Mr. Roger Kenyon representing the Chamber of Commerce spoke relative to a fish-
ing reef which the City and the Chamber of Commerce have been attempting to create
in the Gulf off Clearwater Beach. He requested an appropriation of $650.00 for
a hydrographic survey which amount will be repaid by the year round Attraction
Committee, but as they do not have a permit yet they do not feel they can request
donations at this time. He also stated the Coast Guard would approve the reef if
a lighted buoy was provided and maintained by someone other than the Coast Guard
and that the auto bodies making up the reef would be tied down. By consent the
Commission requested the City Eilgineer to investigate further.
Resolution No. 62-58 was presented requesting the State Road Department and
the State Road Board to consider reducing the maximum speed on Gulf to Bay
Boulevard. Commissioner FieldS moved to pass Resolution No. 62-58 and the proper
officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Turner
