Erosion Commission.
Each member of the City Commission was provided with a copy of the
Erosion Commission's report and recommendations as set forth below:
Clearwater City Commission
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
As requested, the mom bets of Clearwater Beach Erosion Board have
made a thorn investigation of the recent damage due to erosion on the
city property on Clearwater Beach,
4iJith the iaea of remedying the damage by the addition of sand,
all possible sources of supply have been investigated, These possible
sources include:
(1) The bar at the northeast end of Day Side Subdivision which
proved to be of very poor quality and oY insufficient quantity to be
considered.
(2) The bar on the southerly side of Little Pass which is a great
hindrance to navigation, This bar, altho of excellent material, is too
far from the site to be economically available.
(3) The large bar immediately east of the south end of the Island,
This proved to be excellent material but is privately owned and also too
far from the site to be economical,
(l,.} The bar east of the Clearwater yacht Club ?ahich is of e?tcellent
quality and in excess of 50,000 cubic yards. It is however, too far
from the City property l??ing south of the Junior Chamber of Commerce
building to prove a source of supply,
(5) The northerly 200 feet of the Causeway Right of Way extending
easterly Pram t;he west channel. This material is"not as satisfactory
becpuse of its silt content but daze to its location has been selected
as the most desirable site from which to secure the necessary fill
material. This materiel can be deposited on the bef.ch with a maximum
silt content of l0o by volume, This silt content will eventually be
dissipated in the Gulf, but it must be anticipated that a certain amount
?.. of silt may be exposed on the proposed fill until such time as it is
washed away.

'J?ith this brief explanation The Clearwater Beach Erosion Board
recortuuends tine following;
(1) To most the present emergency in the area extending from Taylor's
Trailer i'ark to Tltird Street (1360 ft,}, by pumping a minimum of 50,000
cubic yards to ue distributed evenly Yrum end to end at an estimated cost
of ?16,UOU,
It is impossible for this Board to estimate how long this material
r?ould stay in place or be dissipated along the shore and the offshore
bar. If a severe storm from the right direction should occur the above
dissipation might be anticipated with the result that the exper?diture
of ,16,000 would have been lost. To eliminate the possibility of this
occurrence it is recommended that a groin system L•e installed imntedia'vely
upon completion of the dredging operations. The estimated cost of this
construction is X36,000,

is somewhat similar condition exi3ts at the city property ly-
ing between Clearv?ater Street on the north and itockaway Street on
the South, a:s in the area south of Taylor's Trailer Park. In this
area the Board reootnmends that a stock Pilo of sand in the amount
of 40,000 cubic yards be pumped fron the bar east of the Clear-
water Yacht Club at an estimated cost of X16,000. Thiastook pile
would not only build up the city beach at this point but furnish
a concrete demonstration of what might be anticipated in the build-
ing up of the beach by stock piling. It is not reoom¢?ended that
groins be installed in this area at the present time but to defer
this construction until its necessity is demonstrated.
The above estimate does not include a sea wall which could be
constructed at an estimated cost of 25,000. The desirability of a ?',? , ?j?,
sea well is that the upland above the sea wall is protected and „??;,
eliminates the possibility of a washout around the inshore end of (??r,?,-
,;tiy;(.
the groins. The disadvantage of a seF wall is that it oreatos a ,• ?i,,.?;?•rf

all possible sources o� supply have been investiga„ed, These possible

(1) The bar at the nortneast end oY �3ey Side Subdivision whieh

(2} The bar on the southerly side of Little Pass tivhich is a great

far Prom the site to be economically avazlable.
(3) The large bar immediately east oY �he south end of the Isla�d.
This proved to be excellent material but is rrivately owned and also-too
Yar �rom the site to be economical.
{1�J The bar east of the Clearrvater Yacht Club which is o� excellent
quality and in excess of 50,00o cubic yarel�. It is ho�tiever, too far
from the City property l��ing south oi' the Junior Chamber of Commerce
buil2�ing to prove a source of supply.
(',�) The northerly 200 Yeet of the Causeway Right oi �Yav extending
easterly from the west channel, This material is not as satisYactary
becAuse of its sil� content but due to its 1�cGtion has been selected
as the most desirable site Yrom whicn to secar e the necessary fill

silt content of 10� by volume, This silt content will eventually be
dissipatecl in the GulY, but it must be anticipated that a certain amount
of si].t may he exposed on the proposed fill ux�til such time as it is

With this brief explanation The Clearwater Beach Erosion Board
recorrunends the following:
(1) To meet the preseiit einergency in the area extending �r�m Taylor's
Trailer 1'ark to Third Street (1360 ft.), by pumping a minic�.um oY 50,000

It is i.mpossible Yor this Board to estimate how lnng this.material
t�uo uld stay :In place or be dissipa�ed along the shore and tue ofPshore
bar. If a sev'ere starm fxam the rigYlt direction should occur the�above
dissipation might be anticip�ted with the result that the expenditure
oP �15,000 would h�ve bezn lost, io eliminate the possibility of thia
occurrence it is recommended that a groin system be installed iuv�ediately
upon com�letion of the dredging operations. The estimated cost of this

The above estims�e does not include a sae ��Va11 which c�u1d be
constructed at An estimated cost of ,�,25,000. The de�ir�bil�tv o£ a
seA wall is that the upland nbove the sea wall is protected and
eli.minates the possibilitv oi' a washout around the inshore end of
the groins. The disadvantage of a ses wall is that it creates a
ste�� at Ieast �ne foot in hei�ht in the middle of a beach with the
possibi�ity of �uman injury, Should any buildin�s be constructed
on the propeTtq it is suggested that the sea wall be built at le�st
in Prant of this area, at an estimat�d cost oE �19,00 per foot.
ti somewhat similar condition exists at the city property ly-
ing between Clearv�;a�ter Stxeet on the north and Hockaway Stree�; pn
the South, as in the area south of Taylor's Trailer Park. In �his
area the Boa•rd recommends that a stock pile of sand in tile amount
oP 40,000 cubic yards be pumped fron the bar east of the Clear-
water Yacht Club at an estimated cost of �16,OOU. ihis stoek pile
would not only build up the city ber�ch at this point but furnish
a concrete demonstration o� what might be anticipated in the build-
ing up of the be&ch by stock piling. 2t is not recommended that
groins be installed in this area at the present time but to defer
�his construction until its necessity is denonstrated.
