Hendrix City Manager Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Hendrix: - , ~, l' . I am writing you re~ardin~ the pier that was ereoted at the beaoh by Mr. Workman of the Clearwater Flyinp, Company and was used for a time in ccnnection with seaplane fllp,hts. As you. know, the seaplane flights have been discontinued because of objeotions from adjoIning pDoperty owners. Mr. 'Workman tells me that he ereoted this pier with your approval. He has no lease on the land on which the pier rests and of oourse, therefore, must.remove the pier at any time the City so requests. In the meantime he has been asked to rent the pier to various persons for use in tying up. boats. There is a shorta~e of boat space at the beach and it seems that the use of this pier would accomodate a number of boat owners. '~ . :,' '.':, :. .; ., . I would like to ask that you write Mr. Workman a letter autborizinp' him to cmtinue to leep the pier where it is and use it for boat purposes until such time as the City may want the pier taken down. I would also like to have you state in such a letter that Mr. Workman has the right to remove the ~ier and salvape the lumber therefrom at any time he is requested to remove it. As you know, he built the pier at his expense and it seems ohly fair that he should have the salva~e out. of it at ~ny time it is removed. It seems that handlin~ the matter in this manner will accomplish the most for all concerned. It will give some boat owners an opportunity to use the pier for the purpose of seourin~ their boats. It will give Mr. Workman a little revenue ~rom the pier to help reimburse him ror the .investment he has there. And I don't see how it can adversely ar~ect the ri~hts of the City, as we fully reco~ize that the City has the right to order the pier removed at any time it 90 desires. I will ~reatly appreciate it if you can see your way olear to cooperate with Mr. Workman as above su~gested. ,~'J Wlth:best regards, I am Very tru~1 yours~ RR/mv Ralph Richards (si~ed) .................... Sept. 16, 1946 Clearwate~, Fla. Mr. Hup:h Hendrix City Manager Clearwater, Fla. Dear Hu~h: Please put this matter before the Commission at their meeting toni~ht. I have purchased lots .2 & 43 of Bidwell's Oakwood Sub., with. .the intention of erectinp, a bulk plant thereon for handling petroleum products in bulk. Mr. ~otler informs me that the property is not zoned a~ainst business use and that it ia not in the fire zone. It ~ould, therefore. seem that a permit for the erection of a bulk plant is permissible at this location. However, Mr. Boteler feels that due to the fact that it is located next to Lee Reid's warehouse. which is now beinr. used fo~storage of naptha, the matter should be broupht to the ComDdssions attention. :}:.:~.:~.'J;':.~.,.:'.: :. l ' " " y'l , ;.,:,:.;(::~:::"'..:,:.., ': .:\ Please,.handle tbis with the Commission and request that Mr. BotB1er be .. :~~j;',:,,;,~,y':\,,::',,:..>. .< . a th · d to is'sue the permit as requested.

Honorable George R. Seavy, Mayor And Mombers of the City Commission, Clearwater, Florida. , .' ~ .~.. Our 1946 convention to be held at the Roney-Plaza Hotel in Miami Beaoh, November 24 - 27, promises to be one of the most important in the League'B history, and every municipality inwlorida, whether member or non-member, is invi ted to be represented'. in order that all m~y profit by the exchanpe of ideas and experiences. Amon~ the problems to be discussed are: Removal of powers of local ~overnments into the hands of state or rede~agencea; assumption of duties or municipal officials by county or state orficials; pro- tection of municipal souroes of revenue rrom inroads by other branches of ~ove~ent; the proper tax base necessary to enable municipalities to meet demands for essential services, and other related subjects afrecting municipalities. As the result of action taken at. the meeting in Tampa July 10-11 of our Tax Re-a1location and Aid to Cities Committee, the Lea~e's com- mittee consistin~ of Mayor Gordon T. Butler of Fernandina, representing the smaller cities, Mayor Wm. Beardall or Orlando, the middle size cities and Mayor Perrien Palmer, Jr., of Miami, the 1ar~e municipalities, will meet with committees from the 1947 Senate and House at such times and places as meetin~s may be called between now and the time or our Miwmi Beach convention, and there will be much to be talked about 1n the matter of the Cities' serious financial condition and the absolute necessity for relief at the hands of the 1941 Le~islature. As the Miand Beach convention will probably be the Lea~ue t s last p.eneral meetinp: prior to the convenins;z: of the 1941 Le~lslature, and since the members of that body will be con- fronted by the stress and pressure 0 f time in their deliberations affeoting cities and towns, it 1s essential and fittin~ that munioipal officials give thou~ht to a sound municipal legislative pro~ram. The pro~ram for the ~lami Beach convention is now being whipped into shape, and President E. L. Cole and members of the Executive Committee will preat1y appreciate any ideas and su~p,estions your Honorable Body and the orficials of your municipality may care to make as to pro~pam subjects and speakers. While it may not be possible to include all the suggestions we receive, those that cannot be taken care of will be included in ~e ap.enda of matters for discussion at the .group sessions to be held in connection with the convention. The enclosed very heartenin~ self-explanatory letter from Senator G. Warren Sanchez, of Suwannee County, a warm friend of muni- cipalities and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Cities and Towns, r feel sure, will be of much interest to the members or your Honorable Body.

F. T,. Hendrix City Manager Clearwater, Florida , � ' < 1 Dear Mr. Hendrix; - I am writing you re�;ardin� the pier that was e�ected at � the beach by Mr. Worka.nan of the Clearwater Flyin� Company arid was used ior a time in .:snnection with s•aaplane i'li�hts. As you lmow, the seaplane fli�hts ! have been di.scontinued because of'objeciions from ad�oining pa�perty owners. ; Mr. WorlQnan talls me that he erected this pier with your � approval. He has no lease on the land on which the pier res�s and of course, therefore, must.remove the pier at any time the City so requests. In the i meantime he has been asked to rent the pier to v�rious persons for use in ` t�ing up,boats, T�ere is a shortage of boat space at the beach and i� seems that the use of this pier would acc�modate a number of boat owr�ers. I would like to ask that you write Mr. Workman a letter authorizin� him to continue to k�op the pier where it is and use i� £or boat ptirposes until sucti time as the City may want the pier taken down. I would also like to have you sta�e in such a letter that N:r. �Nc�rlunan has the ri�?ht ta remove the pier and salvaee th� lumber therefrom at any time he is rsquested bo remove it. As you l�ow, he built the pier at his expense and it seems only fair that he shou2d ha�re the salva�e OL't Gfl it, £�t any time it is remov�d. ; It seems that handlin� the matter in this manner will accomplish � the most for all concerned. It wi:Tl give scne boat owners an opportur.itg to use the pier for the pur�osa o� securin� their b�ats. It will give N�r. Workman a little redeziue from tne pi8r to help reimburse him for the •investment he has there. And I don�t see how it can adversely affect trae riQhts of the C3ty, as we f�zlly reao�nize th�t the City has tha right to order the pier removed at any time it so desires. I wilt Rreatly appreciate it if you c an see your way clear to � cooparate with Mro Worlffnan as above su�gested. With best re�ards, Z am '� � i Very truly yours, � RR/mn Ralph Richards (signed) �ept. 16, 1946 ' �learwater, Fla. Mr, Hu�h $endrix ' City Mana�er Clearwater, Fla. � • Dear Hu�h• . .,. . . Please pu� this matter be.fore the Commission at their meetin� tonight. I have purcba;ied lots 42 & 43 of Bidweli's Oakv�ood Sub., with � the intention of erectin� a bulk plant thereon for handling ' petroleum products in bulk. Mr. Botler informs me that the � propertg is not zonad a�ainst business use and that it is not in the fire zone. It �aould, thene£ore, seem that a permit fur the erection of a bulk plant is permissibl.e at tiiis Iocation. However, Mr. Boteler feels that due to the f�act that it is; �4 ,��`� located next to Lee Reid�s warehouse, which is now 'beinc� used ' ' for stora�e of naptha, the matter should be bxou�ht to the Commissions attention. i In this connection I have talked with Mr. Reid an d he advises � me that he does not intend to store nap tra in h3s warehouse permanently- � that-in about a year or a yaar end a half he intends to �ise �t for other purposes. Please handle this with the C�mmission and r� uest that + �q _ ,1ir. Bot�7,er be � authoxized to issue the permit as requested. � ,: Sinceralg yo,urs, � . + Ad W.

Seavy, Ma�or A And Members of the GZty Commission, Clearwater, Florida. Gentl�nen: Our 1946 convention to be held et the Roney-Plaza Hote1 in Miami Beach, ?dovember 24 - 27, promises to be one of the most important in tha Loague�s history, and every municipality in Florida, whether membar or non-m�mber, is invited to be re�resented; in order that a1Z may profit by the exchanPe oi' irieas and experiences. Amon� the p�oblems to be di�cussed are: Removal of powers of local �overnments into the hands of state or fede�slagences; assumption of duties of muriicipal officials by courxty or state officials; pro- tection of ffiunicipal sources of i�avenue from inroeds by othar branehes oi' g,overnment; the proper tax base necessary to enable municigalitie's tc meet demands for essentiel saxvices, an+� other related subjects a£fecting municipalities. A.s the result,of action taken at.the•meeting 3n Tampa July 10-11 of our Ta� Re-alTocation and Aid to �Yties Committee, the Lea�ue►s aom- mittee consisting of Mayor Gordon T. Butler of Fex�nandina, representing the smaller cities, Mavor Wm. Beardall of Orlando, the middle size cities and Mayor Perrien Palmer, Jr., of Miami, �he large municipalities, will meet wi.th committees from tha 19'47 Senate and House at such times and places as meetin�s may be called between now.and the time of our biiami Beach convention, and there w3ll be much to be talked'about in the ma£ter of' �he Cities' serious �inancial condition and the abso7.ute necessity £or relief at thz hands of tha 1947 Legislature. As the Miami Beach conver_tion w�ll probably be the Lea�ue►s last �eneral meetin� prior to the convening ot the 1947 Legislature, and since the members af that body will be con- fronted by tlae stress and pressure oi'time in their deliberations aflect�ng cities and towns, it is essential and fittin� that municipal off'3cials give thou�ht to a sound municipal 1e�islati ve pr�gram. Ths pro�ram for the P.4iami Beach convention is no�x being whipped into shape, and President E. L. Cole and members of the Execu�tive Connnittee will �raetly appreciate any ideas and sugp,estions your HpnorabTe Bodg and the officials of your municipality may aare to make as to pro�ram subjeets and speakers.
