Mr. F. L. Hendrix, City Manager,
Clearwater, Fla.
Dear Mr. Hendrix:-
Last spring I submitted 8 dr~wing to the City Commission showing a
proposed sea wall to be built in front of Lots 10 to 14 inolusive,
Block "C", Barbour-Morrow ~ub-division J Glearv/~ter BeElch, which I own.
-
This drawing also indic8ted 5 new sea wall connecting the bridge at the
west Gnd of the causeway to the contemplated wall in front of my property
including a new road way from the causeway connecting blind street at the
rear of th e Thomos Court.
For your information, I have received permission from the government to
construct the wall as shown and believe that this work can be done at a
more resonable price within the next few months than at a later date. I
am certain that if this work were completed end the wall constructed in
front of the City property and my property that it would be 0 wonderful
improvement to the approach to the Beach and th e new road be very
desirable for property owners on the north end of the beach.
Several days ago I discussed this matter with you and understand that there
is no provision in the present appropriation to take care of this improve-
ment and in view of the fact that I believe it exceptionally desirable, I
agreed that I would be wiiling to construct the wall in front of my property,
for which I would expect to pay the full cost..I elso agreed that if it were
agree~ble to you and the Commission that if the City would enter irito 'a
contract with a responsible contractor to construot the well in front of the
City property at the same time I construct my wall, that I would advance the
'cost of the wall to the City with an agreement that they wbuld reimburse me
for one helf the cost of the wall in front of the City property within
t~elve months and the remaining one half within twenty-four months after
'the date the money was advanced. I also agreed that I would make no charge
f~ interest on the money for the period the City had the use of this money.
It is my understanding that ~ou have had an approximate price on this work
and that the cost will involve approximately ~ 5,000.00.
If this proposition is aaceptable to' you Bnd you would rather make pay-
ment for the money advanced on e monthly basis, paying twenty-four equal
installments without interest J .that would also be acceptable to me.
.
I am writing this letter confirming our conversation with the hope that
it will be agreeable to you to submit this proposal to the 6ommission
and get some definite decision at an eery date.
Yours Very Truly,
(Signed) Homer R. Overly.
