Commissioner Turne~, reporting for the Committee appointed to investigate the proposed signa to be placed under the ~rquee of the Heye Building on the South side of C~eveland street, said the Committee had found that the marquee was not as low as had been assumed, and that the proposed signs would not extend more than three inches below the limit at the lowest point and it was the opinion of the Conmlittee that the signs would not create a haza~, if permitted. The Committee recommended that this be cons1dered a hardship case, caused by an error made by the City in issuing a permit not in accord with building regulations and that the signs be permitted.

The Mayor announced that the public hearing relative to installation of Storm Sewers on Prospect Ave. and Pierce streets, and Cleveland Street would be held at this time and asked if anyone present wished to object to the improvement being made. Mr. Ralph Richards, representing L. P. and G. P. HoveYI protested against the proposed improvement, stating that his clients would be assessed for a sewer whioh would be of no benefit to them, and would be unfair for that reason. Mr. Ivan Green of Green Brothers' Transfer Company, protested against the proposal, stating that the proposed assessment against his ~ir.m was far in excess of any benefits his firm would receive. Mr. William Goza, representing Rogal, Inc., stated that the land belonging to that Company was oomparatively low priced and the proposed assessment would be confiscatory, in that the sale of the property would be blocked by such an assessment. Mr. Richards pointed out that pro- perties not benefited would bear the costs of the improvement and that Mr. Blaokburn's property, which derived the greatest benefit would not be assessed at all.

He: Hardship Case, Episcopal Parish Hall. Dear Sir: Recently lots 2, 3, 4 or Block 5~ starr & Savery Subdivisions, with the house on said property was offered to the Eplscopa~ Church of the Ascension for sale, for the purpose that it would be used as a parish house and for what other church activities. necessary for the proper function of the cllurch. The Vestry o~ the church, a~ter due consideration, have decided to acquire this property for said purposes, and a drive to acquire the necessary fUnds is now in progress. This drive has the enthusiastic support of the congregation. On checking the zoning it was discovered that this property 1iea in a residential zone although it is directly across the street ~rom the church building. This property represents the only large enough ava i1able outlet obtainable for the church fur its continued growth and for the very necessa~J parish hall without which it can not fulfill its duty to the community it serves. This parish hwll is to be used as a Sunday school for the children of this congregation which represents in number at the present time seven or eight hundred people. It would work a great hardship for a sizable part or Clearwater's population ir this propert-y can not be used as a parish hall to ~urther Christian education. It is respectfully requested that your committee allow this property to be used for the above said purposes. As a great many people are interested in this drive and are working on it at present, it would be of great assistance ir we could have your answer at your earliest convenience.

To the Honorable City Commissioners Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: We, the undersigned property owners on Prospect and Pierce Streets in Clear- water, Florida, in response to your published notice of intention to install 8 24" reinforoement ooncrete stonu sewer, eto., in said streets abutting our property do hereby respectfully present to you the following objections to such proposed installation, to-wit: FIRST: The purpose of this installation being primarily and a1moat wholly a drainage project for Cleveland Street from Myrtle Avenue eastward neceDsitates the ~tallation of a trench, pipe line, ~nholes, catch basins, etc., at lease three .t~would be required to care for drainage upon the lands of the abutting property owners and therefore to require abutting property owners to fully pay for such enlarged and exte:lded installation would be wholly unfair and unjust and in effect a oonfiscation or our properties. large as ~'; ,i, " . , <. .... I ";1 ! , SECOND: The development of the areas abutting the portions of Prospect and Pierce Streets here involved have not now reaohed such a stage as to require any establishment of storm sewers in that area and, therefore, even if your abutting property owners were charged with one third (1/3) of the total oost of such installation it would be a cost which they now should not have to bear or would not have to bear until such time a8 the area. haa so developed as to require suoh installa tion. THIRD: ~~e City Engineer's survey information shows that the elevation of protestant'~ property is such that natural drainage is furnished into paved st~eets and other exist- ing storm sewers so that their properties, in their present state of undevelopment, do not have an immediate need for any stOrIll sewer. ! .:1 ,:, , I \ I j . .... ~ . , 'j 'J : . ,~ , , ~ -l .~ I .

SECOND: The development of tha areaa abutting the portiona of Prospect ana Piere� Streets here involved have not now rearhed such a stage as to require any establisYunent of storm sewers in that area and, therafara, even if your abutting praperty owners were charged wii;h one third (1/3) of the t�tel cost of such installstion it �rould be a cost which they now should not have to bear or would not have to bear until such time aa the area has so develaped as to require such installatione THIRI�: TYie Citg Engineerts survey information shovrs that the elevatian of protest�nt�� propert� is auch that natural drai.nage is iizrnished into paved atreets and othe� e�ist- ing s�o�cn sewers so that their properties, in their present state of undevelo�ment, do not have an immeciiate need for any storm sewer, The Protestants therefore respectii�lly shovr to the City that their individual properties do not have a need for e atorm sevrer line as nova contemplated and that at no time in the visible iliture will they have such a need, the onl� nsed for such being to properties along Cleveland Stroet and that if such a sewer line is installed over said Prospect az�d Pierce Street9 in the area described in the Citgrs notice payment therofor should bo �ade by those benefited and no part thereof should be placed as a burden upon ProtestantTs or any other of the adjacent properties.
