Dear J,;r. Hendrix:
I refer to al,letter of June 26t:-;, ~945 froIll i.:r. David B. Lee, chief
Sanita~y Engineer, Florida State Board of Gea1th and quote the olos-
ing pap~graph thereof:
"We are delaying our reply to Mr. Hendrix until v'e hear from you so
we will have Elll ::the facts on hand on "Ihich to base action. tlwing
to the late date on which Clearwater siRnified interest in the
undertaking, it will renuire a little time to ascertain what aid,
if any, can be Given."
In vlevJ of thms communicn tion, reference will haile to be made to
previous cornmuhications on the subject of typhus dusting and necessary
commitments of oi'tir;s partioil1ating therein. The following requisits
are necessary: five maps outlining dusting are~s, number of business
.e stablishments, and number of re:c'idents contained inthe dusting area,
and the population 01' the city. .4~~o, commitments as to transportation,
labor, storege space and other necessar~ facilities will hpve to follow
the maps.
!{ost oertainly DDT AS an insecticide needs no (1efense eVGn though
the program. bears the:: title "TypLls Contro~." Its value a~ainst
flies, oockroaches, fleas etc. is eelJ. :<:11o\'.'n. If ClearVl8. ter so de~
sires to participAte in such 8. program";it will be heoessary for this
department and your oi ty to Vlor).;: OUtth8 -program to.::;etl1cr. I will
be gled to meet with anyone whom you may designate and eive faots and

Dear Hr. Hendrix:
This associFltidm has r'oted in thf- 61earwnter Sun, A statement
thAt the City Planning Board has discussed and referred to its WAterfront
Connnittee for study, t'e feasibility at this time, of planruhng "an elaborate
:pier with concessions on the Gulf side stCleerwater Beach".
This is gra tifying news to m~'!ny of our menbers who had been in
the habit ~f ~ishing from the old uier recently torn do\vm.
We fee~ tha t the erer1 tinn of e lIew pier, whether ff elaborate"
or not, would be not only desirable from the point of view of local
residantB, but an asset to our city as a definite attraction for tourists
and home-seekers from other states.
Futhennore, wiile we do ~ot object to the cre~tion of a yacht
basin on the Bay side of the BeaCh, Without expense to the City, this
association ~r over one hundred voteds of the Crest Lake area, at its
meeting of June 26, 1946, went on record by unanimous vote,as favoring the
erecition of a municipal pier on the Gulf aide of Clear'lJster,Beaoh, and
also that this project be giben ~riority over the proposed yacht basin
projeot. The undersigned W2S instructed to so notify the City authorities.
We trustco\U' associfltion will be given an opportunity to present
its case before final action is taken on the yacht basin.
Very respectfully,
(Sign) Frederick C. Lucas
President,
CHEST LAKE ASSOnIATION.

Dear Mr. Hendris:
" /:,>1

'::"',\:,
,,',
We note with interest the accol1nt'in the ClenrvJ.'\ter Sun of June 21. 1946.
that a partial report on the proposed oity pork development drawh up by landscn~e
arohitect Herbert G. Flint, is noVl in your offioe.
It is noted that a tentative drawing for Crest Lalee Park's 80 Acres has
been prepared and that it fen tured A " me(:loriHi building" for the Clevelnn4 street
side of the park, and on outdoor lounge with adjoining benches. The plan also oon-
templates "three shaded piers. comfort stations 'snd benches overlooking the lake".
..
..' .
. ,/ ;',;:,-.
j\ At its meeting of J\.Une 25, 1946, this association want on record un8.Jl-
imously "very muoh oylposing" the plan 8S set forth in the newspaper report above
mentioned.
This association is stronr,ly in fovor of a \"ell-planned~.l.andscapin(~ of
the Crest Lake Park retainin~ its present unspoiled~ attractiveness, but does not
feel that the park should be "industrialized" or reducedJ in soope by the ereotpfon
of large buildings of any nature.
We definitely deplore the proposed ercotion of a memorial building
which would not only be dirf~cult of access to urban residents, but would def~nitely
detract from the natural beauty of the Lake area.
It is respectfully requested that before any final plans are made for
"landscaping" Crest Lake l)ark, this association be af'forded an ppportuni ty to make
definite reoommeddations 8S to improvements. which, in its ppinion, woula best fit
in with the beautiful bnckp,roung available.
Furthel~more, it is respectfully submitted that if "landscaping" the
Orest Lake Park was limited at present, ot least, to naturla lines, there seems
to be nO,Obbstaole in the way of ini ti" ting the preliminary plantihgs at an early
date mn 1946.
While we do not oppose the develonment of the Waterfront PErk, we do
not feel that Orest Lake Park landsoaping would in any way interfere with the former.
Respectfully submitted,
Frederiok C. Luoas. Rresidant

Committee is better. Be this as it may, there is no n.uestiinbut that
there is ~'~ need exi sting a t the prese~"\ t time for adeaua te clocking
facilities for such boats as do c811 at the City of '61enrwnter.
B. Under present conditions, there is just one p~ace for
automobiles to parle V.Jl1ere the occupants or l!'1Waers of these cars are
using the commercial party boats or thei~ own individual boats. The
lane"!. used is Ilnp0ved and usu81ly uhtidy 8nd i.s not adequ~te for most
occasions, sonetil!lles Cf:l.llin:>: for eoulhle })nrlcing and is hazardous for
:hra'ffio. Along this 1 ine, it is neces~Dry for the -parties pnrldng
cars to drive ov-~r the full leng~Jn of the sidewalk of the path that is used
by parties waIting on the south side of the cause~ay.
9. On thl~ uas is of existJng boating at Clearwater Beach
present f~cilities in fcference ~~ fishing tackle and shmp channel
stores are in8dequate. Inasmuch 8S the Oi t~/ ovms most of' the adjacent
land that woulrl be available for such us€:, if sueJ. need exists it would
be up to the City ctJt> 'fuJ:'nish adequate rentihl space, so that the comm-
ercial party fishing bonts and the indivirlual "::Jsrty boats w0illd be
properly served.
10. Along the causeway at the proposed site of the yacht
basin there is no se~Jlance of a seawall, resulting in an unsiphtly
condition. In many places the bank ts irreGular and irosion has taken
part of the land. It is ev:tdent that concrete sea':.all out at a reasonab~e
distanoe vlould oreven t bhis unsirl'ltly condi tion, T.lreven t the erosion and ~ay

Dear P:ir. Fendrix;
This assnciatimn has roted in th� f3lear�v%�ter Su�, A statement
that the City Plannin� Board has discussed and refefire3 to its �`daterfront
�ommittee for study, t'e feasibility at this ti*�e, of plannnng "an elaborate
pie.r witL concessinns on the Gulf side atClearwater Beach'�.
`Th3.s is �ratify9.ng news to m��ny of our ?nenbers tivho had been in
the habit �Sf fishing fram �Ghe old pier recentl� torn dozvm.
�'7e £ee1 that the eredtion of a gew pier, 1�hsther "e].aborate"
or not, wou].d be not only desirable from the point of view of I:oeal
residnna�, but an asset �Go our ci:c� as a definite attraction for taurists
and home-seekers from othEr st�.tes.
FutY:ermore, va�ile we do �ot objeet to the crention of a yaeht
basin on the B�y side of the BeaCh, i�3ithout e�.�pznse to �;he City, this
association df over one hundred voteds of'the Crest yake area, at its

erec�tion of a municipal pier on the Gul� aide of Clear4r2ter,�each, and
also tklai; this �roject be giben priority over the progosed yacht basin

C1e�rwa�er, Fla.
Dear iVlr. Hendri�:
This association is vitally i�terested in the preservati,on and beautifiaation
of Crest I�ake Park along whose borders reside a larger number of our�memL�ers, mncl in
vahich all our mem�:ers have agroperty or sentimental interest. It is;� and sl�ould
con,tinue to be, an attraction for prosAective home buyers tt�ho wid$ to 1oc�tte ou'tside
the congested city areas.
i�ke note cvith interest the account?in the Clearw�ter Sun of june 21, 1946,
that a partial repor�G on the proposed city pariz development arawh up by landsca�e
arci�i,tect Herbert G.' �'lint, is now in your oi'fice.
It is noted tha� a tentative drawing for Crest Lake Park's 80 acres has
been �repared and that it featured a�' memorial btiiildin�" for the Clevelan� Street
side of �he park, a.nd an outdoor lounge with adjoining benchos. The plan also con-
templ.ates �'three shaded �iers, comf'ort stat'ions•and benches overloolking the lake".
At its meeting of J'ume 26, 1946, t�is association wan� on record unan-
imously "very mucli opposing'? the �lan as set forth in the �ae1v���par reporb afi�ove
mentioned.
This association is strongly in favor of a�ve11-plannedw��ndscapin�; of
the Crest Za�:e �ark retair_in�; its present unspoiled� attractiveness� but does not
feel that the park shoulci be "industrial�zed" or reducedi in scope by the erect�ion
of 1ar�e buildi�gs of ang� nature.
T';e definitely deplore the proposed erection of a memorial building
�rhich would-not only be di�fi�cult ox a�cess to urban residents, but would defmnitely
detract from the na�ural beauty of the Lal�e area,
It is respectfully reques�ed that before any final plans ars made fcr
"landscaping" Crest I�ake Park, t�is association be af#`orded an ��portunity to m�ke
defini.te recommetidations �s to improvements, which, in its gpinion., would best fit
in with the beautiful backgroun� available.
Furthermore, it is respectfully submittEd that if "lan.dscaping" the
Crest I,ake Park tvas limited at presenti, at least, to naturla lin�s� there seems
to be nobbbstacle in the way of initi�-:ting the preliminary plantih�s a�: an early
date nr_ 19�-60
LYhile tive do not opp�se the develo�ment of the �Vaterfront P�rk, v�e do
not feel that Gr�est Lake P;�r•k landscaning would in any Vr�y interfere with the former.
Respectfully suhmitted,

land used is unp�ved and usually uiltidy and is nQt adequ^te for �ost
occasions, sonetimes Calling ior �au�le �arki�g and is razardous for

9. Dn the iaas�.s of' exist�n� boating at Clear��rater Beach

land th�t woul�� be avail��le fo.r such use, if suc'� need exists it tivould
be up to the Cit�� �b�b furnish adequate rent�l spac�, so that the comffi-

�roperly served. �
l�, Aiong tlle causeway a�t the uroposed site af the yaeht
