Dea~ 1ir. McKethan: As mayor of the Town of Belleair I am interested vitally in learning the detai 1s of' the action taken .following the appearance of' l-.lr. Boyd Bennett, City 111anager of' Clearwater, before t:q.e State Road Board on January 11th, last, at which time he presented another emergency appeal from our area for traffic planning, regulation end cont.ro1 or the traffic which bottlenecks' at the entrance to the Town of Bel1eairl nanle1y the intersection of South Fort Harrison Avenue, Clearwater, and Bellevie'll Boulevard, BeIlea ir, which is fUrther aggra.va ted by the uncontrolled crossing of tne Seaboard Railroad at this point. This intersection is the northern gateway to the Gulf Beaches, the main entrance to tl1e Belleview Biltmore lIote1 (the largest wooden hotel in the United StateD), and the main entrance and exit to the Town of Dellea1r. This intersection is so janmed and biockod (not to mention the uncontro11ed R.R. crossing) that it constitutes "the !.lost dangerous intersection in l'inellas' County" a.\ccording to a letter a:tgned by the County Engineer and i'orwaroed to the sta te Road Board in December, 1948, as an enc1os11re to our emergenoy appea1 to your Board as of that date. I have been a member of the Town Commission of the Town of Belleair for approximately rifteen years. During the last ten years we have pleaded constantly for a id to elimina te the ha'zards of the intersection above described. I make this statement to prove to you that the haz6rda existed over ten years ago, and I assure you that they have multiplied with each year' of the aD1B.zlng growth of this area!. In addition to al1 this oonstantly increasing traffic I wish to call your attention to the near cOIllpletion of tho new Be11eair Bea ch Ceusewa'Y which will greatly aggra'va te our situation when completed next June or July. It ia extremely fortunate that we have not had a fire at the Belleview Biltmore Hote1, for instance, because the odds are that it liould be aJJllost inaccessible to fire appara tus, 13mbu1ances, police cruise rs and eLlergency equipment at such a time. I appeal to you personally for innllediate help in this matter because of the ordinary delay in such procedures. 1<'01' instance, in December of 1948 the Town of Belleair, the City of Clearwater, and the County of Pinellas joined in an emergency appeal to your Boa~ but nothing, and I repeat, nothing had been done through the years up to tlle da te or IiIr. Bennett's appeamnce before your Board on January 11, 1900. I would appreciate the details or any action taken since then. It is my under- standing that you referred the matter to l>lr. Lewis,. Division Engineer and his assistant, :Mr. Ciroen, for innnediate investigation. Very truly yours, Lucius S. Ruder (Copy of' letter fronl State Road Dept. to I~ucius Ruder): Feb. ;1;4, 1900 Mr. Lucius S. Ruder, Davey-11cUul1en Dldg., Clearwater, Fla. Dear nr.

Sargeant, Mayor of the City of Clearwater a'nd Each member of tho City Oommission Gentlemen: I understand of'fers have been nlnde~ f'ronl time to timo, for the property the Oity owns on the Sou.th side of' Stevenson' a Creole. I also understand that, currently" there are offers pending on part of this property. Vie are a'l1: very bt:.sy and it i6 impossilJle to talk to ea.ch of' you personally. }Prom the tir.1e of the cree. tion of' the Planning Board I h.ave boen a member of" the same and have always taken the position that this property" ovmed by the City facing the water~ should not be sold but should be held for public use such as a park or for boating facilities. With the rapid growth o:f Cloarwater I think such a position is much more important no,", than fOMnerly. I believe- any property which has possibilities- for such use should not be disposed of by the City and certainly not until the Planning Board is consulted about the matter. The small body o~ water East of the bridge on Stevenson's Creek is the only indentation of Clearwa.ter l3ay in the City of Clearwa.ter. Over a ve'I!y long period of tir,le, any party corning .f'rom the north of our town and across the bridge saw water on both sides. It is felt the t to dispose of thiS' pl'operty so that it might be filleCE in would materially affect the beauty of the North part of town. It is a180 felt that some day this body of water would be a safe harborage for small boata. Before any definite action is taken with ref'erence to disposing of this property I, personally~ would a pprecia te an opportunity to discuss the lna tter with each of you. My hOI:le i::r located on the othor side of' the Creek end so I must confess I am personally interested in the matter but~ over and above that, I believe it would be f'or the best interests of the City for this property not to be sold. I believe it might be possible for the residents on tho Creek and in Navajo Park to raise enour;h funds to make this property into a city park withou. t any expense to the City. I would would certainly like an opportunity to help to that end if the City did not dispose of the property to private interests. j .. . .";". 1 j j q ::) .~ .l ~ '1 1 .1 ,1 :i J 1 :j wnw Very truly you~s, (Signed) VI.

Dear Sir: For the past 13 years: we have owned the lot on the NVI corner of IIa. ven St. & Osceola Ave. Unlike other owners of property a10ng this block~ we have bad no building on the lot from which to deriva income or housing~ but the lot only represented to us the steady paying out of City and County the &teady paying out of City and County taxes for thirteen year~. The dinlensions of this lot are about 67' :x ll~t. Vfe umerstand now that there a.re plans to w:1den Osceola Ave. along the one block fro1:1 Pierce St. South to Haven St. The evaluation of this let by the City Assessor ~~s ~4285.00. Were it to be reduced by 15 feet, there would be taken fro!:! the area oveJr 22% Gf'its totali. size. You realiz6'JJ then, that it would reduce the value of this lot not only by the actual evaluation of the deducted area, but also by the decline in the utilitarian advanteges for which the lot could be suitab1e~ since it is a narrow 10t to begin with.

Therefore, i~ the cost of this im- provement were borne by ALL the taxpayers in the City, the proportionate share of every taxpayer will be negligible, ever-yone 'Would be glad to :ray their just share and we would be glad to pay our share of a city-wide tax~ too. That would be much ~ore equ8b~ than to take it out of the hides of the few taxpayers who live along the widened bl.oclt. Our particular piece of land has very little to ga in and very much to lose~ because its proportions would be so greatly dwindled.

Dear _ y. nicKethanr Janus*y �l, T95Q As mayor of the Toti�n af Belleair I am interested vitally in learning the detaila of the action taken following the appearance of Dir. Boyd Bennett, Git9 I�Zsnager of Clearwater, before the State Road Board on Januar� Ilth, laat, at whicIi time he pressnted another emergency appeal fr�m our area for traffic planning, regulation and cont•roI of the traffic which bottlenecks at the entrance to the Tov�m of Bellea.ir, nameTy the intersection of South Fort Harrison Avenue, Clearvrater, and Bellevievr. Boulevard, Bel�.eair, v�hich is further aggravated by �he uncontrolled, crossing of the Seaboard Railroad at this point. This intersection is the northern gateway to the Gulf Beaches, the �ain entrance to the Belleview Biltmore HoteT (the largest wooden hotel in the United States), and the main entrance �nd exit to the Town of Eielleair. This intersection ia so jaruned ard blocked (not to mention the uncontrolled R.R. cro�sing) tl�t it constitutes ��tha raost dangerous intersection in �inellas� Countg�� according to a letter signed by the Gount� En�ineer and forwarded to tha State Road Board in December, 1948, as an enclosure to cur e�ergency appeal to your Board as of that date. I have been a r.member of the Town Co�nission of the Town of BeTleair for approximately fiftoen year�. During the last ten years we have pleaded constantly for aid to eTiminate the hazards of the intersection above described. I mal.•a �his� statement to prove to you that the hazards existe� over ten years� ago, and "L assure you that they have multiplied with each year� of the amazing growth of this area�a In addition to al3 th.is constantly increasing trafi'ic I wish ta ca11 your attention t6 the near completion of the ne�v Belleair Beach Causewa� which will greatly aggravate our situation r�hen completed next June or July. It is extremaly fortunate that w� have not had a fire at the Bellevierv Bil�r.�ore Hotel, for instance, because the odd� are that it would be almost inaccessible to fire apparatus, ambulances, police cruisers and energency equi�ient at such a time. T ttppeal to you personally #'or i�iied3ate help in this matter because of the ordinary delay in such procedures. For instance, in Decenber of 1948 the Towi� of Belleair, tlze City of Clearwater, and the County of Pinallas joined in an emergency appeal to your Board but nothing, and I repeat, nothing had bean done thraugh the yearg up to the date of n1r.

We are all' very busy and it is impossible to talk to er�ch of you personally. From the time of the creation of tho Planning BoaErd I l�ave been � member of the same and have alvraqs taken the position that this property, ovrned 1ay the City facing the water, should not be s�1d but should be held £ar public use such as a park or for boat3.n� faci].ities. Y;7ith the rapid growth of Glearvuater I thin�r such a pos3tion is much more impurtant novr than fcrz.erl�, I believ� any property which Y�as; possibiTities for such u�e should not be diaposed of by the City and certainly not ur.ti�. the Planning Board i3 cor,sultec� about tfie matter. The small bod� of water Enst of th� bridge on Stevenson�s Creek is the only indentation o£ Clearwater 33ay in the City of Clearc�ater. Over a very long period oP time, any party coming from the North o� our tovun and acrosa the bridge saw water on both sides. It ia fel} that to dispo9� of this� property ao that it might bee filTecE in would materiallf affect the beauty o� the North parb of town. It is al�o felt that some day this body of vratex would be � safe harborage for small boat�. Befaxe ang definite action is taken with reference to disposing of this propert� I, personal�.y, would appreciate �n opportunity to discuss the matter vrith each of you« 141y ho�e is locs,ted �n the othar side of the Creek and ao I must confess I am personally interested in the matter but, over a nd above �hat, I believe it would be for the best interests of the City for this property not to be sold. I believe it rnt�ht be possible for the residents on the Creek and in Navajo Park to raise enough ilznd� to maYe this property into a city park �ithout any expense to the City. I�vould would certainl� like an opportunity to help to that end if the �ity did not diapose of the property to privat� interesta. Very truly yours,, (Signed) VJ. FI. '1Tolfff VJFiVJ lt4ro Bennett, City P�lanager, City of Cloarvrater, City Hall, Clearwater, Fla, Dear Sir: Feb.. 2A, 195Q For the pas� 13' year� we have owned the Tot on the NY� corner of Haven St, & Osceo].A� Ave. Unlike other owners of property along this block, we have had no building on the lot from which to derive income or housing, but the lo� only represented -t� us the steady payin� out oi City and County the �te�dy paying out of City and County taxes for thirteen years. The dimensions of this lot are about 67� x 112cp. VIa understand now tha� ther� are plans to widen Osceola 6ve�. alon� the one block £rcra Pierce St. South to Haven St. The eva�,uation of this Tot by tha C�ty Assessor was �4285,00. Y�ere i�; to be reduced by 15 feet, there would be taken from the area ove� 22°�' o.i its total size. You r•ealiza, theii, tha,t it would reduce the value of this Iat not onTy by the actual evaluation of the deducted area, but also by the dacline in the utilitarian r�dvm trzges for which th� Iot could be suitable, since it is a xaarrov� lot to bagin with. We have been in a position lately where c�e needed to s�ell.;or leasa this lot. The rumor �f widenin� oi` this street has served as s great dis�advantage and daterren� to any negotiationso One party, a�lmost read� to negotiate, realized ti�at he could z�ot use the lot at all if it were depr3ved of that footage. This has caused us considerable harclship. 5ince this projact is� for the purpose of ea�sing Northb�und traffic from the Fiarbor Oaks section & So. Clearwater, to the main part of town and to the Causewa}y out to ths Beach, 3t assumes tne proportion� of a ciLy-tvide improvement. I�Ierehants� in town and the beach businesses wi1T bene£it thereb5*, as wiTl those residants Tiving south of Osceola Ave. for whom it will be easier to drive. Therefore, if the cost of this im- provement were borne by ALL the taxpayers in the City, the proportionate share of every ta�xpayer wi11 be negZigible, everyone would be glad �o pay their just share a�nd we would be �lad to pay our share of a city-�vide tax, too. T11a� m�ould be much more equable than to takeit out of the h3des of the few taxpayers who live alon� the widened bloc�. Our particular piece of land has very little to gain and very much to lose, becaus�e it� proportions would be so greatly dwindlede We have lived in Glearwater for ll year� (and we expect to return }o live there wlze� our son completes his studies) and we feel thAt, after paying a fair price for this land in 193'7 and. then piling up taxe� to tho Cii:y anfl County over a period of thirteen yeasg, the City af Qlearwater will not fail to deal with u� in all fa-irne�� and justice in this matter, a:�d will nialte adequate recompense to us.

Re: Aardship Case, Episcopal Parish Hall Dear Sirz Recently Tots 2, 3, 4 of Hlock 5, Starr & Savery Subdivisions, with the hous�a on said propert� v�aa offerad to the Episcopal Church of' zhe �iscension for sale, for the purpose that it v�ould be used as a parish house and zor v�hat other cliurch activities necessary for the proper function of the church. The Vestry of the ch�,:rch, after due consideration, have clecided to acquire this property for said purposes, and a drive to acquire the necessary f`unds is now in progress. This drive has the enthusiastic support of the congre�a�tion. On clzecking the zoning it was discovered tizat this propertg lies in a residential zone althou�h it is directly across the street fron �he church building. This propertg represents the only large enough available outiet obtainable ior the Church for its continued growth and for the very necessary parish hall without which it cannot fulfilT ita duty to the cormiunit�* it serves. This parish hall is to be used as a Sunday echool for the chil�ren of this con�reg�:tion wY!ich represents in number at the present time seven or e3ght hundred pecxple. It would worlt a grea+� hardship for a siza•ble part of' Clearwater�s population if this property ca�nnot be used as�a parish hall to further Christian educa_tione It is respectfully requested that your cormittee allow this property t�o be used for the above said purposes. As a� gxeat many people are interested in this drive and are rvorkin� on i� at present, it would be of great assistance if *r�e could have your answer at your earliest convenience. .
