Dear Mr. Bennett:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter dated February 17th addressed to the Engineer in
Charge of the Tampa Sub-Office of the Corps of Engineers relative to an application
for a 90 ft. Pier to extend into the Gulf from the seawall at 840 Eldorado Street,
Clearwater Beach.

As you will note, the letter contains the navigation reasons why such a pier is
not desirable. Further, ir such private piers were up and down the beaches, there
could be a sanitary problem involved and recreational activities definitely interferred
with causing the Whole beach area to be less attractive to winter visitors and our
local residents.
Will you p1aoe this matter on your agenda for your very next regular or special
meeting for the attention of the City Commissioners as to whether they wish to lodge
a protest against such a pier with the Corps of Engineers.
Very truly yours~

Re: ao Ft. Pier into Gul~ at 840 Eldorado st., Clearwater Beach, Fla.
Dea r Mr. Reed:
The undersigned association hereby protests the const~lotion of tbe abovl-namsd
pier as an impediment to navigation in that it would interfere with aquaplaning and
water skiing during fair weather, and it would be a hazard to the snipe raoing whioh
takes place almost weekly and in which aa :cmny as fifteen boats oontend, tacking
sometimes within 20 to 20 ft. off shore. Further, s~11 boats with outboa~ motors
daily use the area within 40 feet off shore and frequently dock their boats on the
beaoh, as do oommerial fishermen when they spread their nets from shoreJ also pleasure
boats with little d~ft and inboard motors hug the shore when the Gulf waters become
rough. Most of the above oocurs during daylight h~\rs, but frequently at nigbt.
If this applioation were granted, it would establish a precedent for other piers
to extend into the Gulf and thus multiply the aforesaid navigation hnped~ent~.
Very truly your8~

Enclosed is a copy of a letter dated February 17th addressed to the Engineer in
Charg6 of tha Tampa Sub-Office of the Corps of Engineers relative to an application
for a 90 ft. Yier to extend into the Gulf from the seawall at 840 Eldorado Street,
Clearwater Beach.
���
A,s you wi11 note, the lebter contains bhe navigation reasons wh� such a pier i�
not doairable� Further, if such private piers were up and down the beaches, there
could be a sanitary problem involved and recreational activities definitelg interferred
with causing the whoie beach area to be less attractive to winter visitors and our
local residents�
Will you place this matter on gour agenda for your very next regular or special
meeting for the attention of �he City Cormnissionera as to whether they wish to lodge�
a protest against such a pier with the Corps of Engineer�.

Dear rtr, 1?eed:
The undersi�gned assoc�.ation hereby protests the canstruction of the above-named
pier as an impediment to navigation in that i� would interfere with aquaplaning and
water sk3ing dur3ng fair weathar, and it would be a hazard to the snipe racing which
takes place almost �veeltly and in which a:; r.lany as fifteon boats� contend, tacking
somet�mos within 20 to 40 #'t. off sY�ole. Further, smc�ll boaL•s with outboard motor�
dailg use the area within 40 feat off shore and frequently dock �heir boats on tho
beach, as do coaunerial fishermen when they spread their nets �rom sh�re; also pl,easure
boatrs with Iittle draft and inboard motors hug the shore when the Gulf waters becoma
rou�h. biost of the above occurs during d�yli�ht hours, but fraquently at night.
Ti' this app7ication were grante3, it would establish a precedent for othor piers
to ex�end into �the Gulf and thus multiply the aforesaid navigation impedim.ents�..
