Yours very truly, /s/ Maurice M. Condon ------~--~--~---------------------------- St. Cecel1ats Church Clearwater, Florida April 211 1951 The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners Clearwater 1 Pla. Gentlemen: St. Cecelia Parish has acquired ~ pieoe of property 665 ft. by 636 ft. on the northwest corner of South Hillcrest Dr. and the proposed extension of CUeatnut st. The program oalls for the immediate construction of an 8 class room school building to be completed by next September, to be followed in the very near future by the oonstruotion of a Chapel, gymnasium and convent and additional class rooms. The school building will entail an ~nvestment of $200,000.00 and the completed program several times this figure. A serious dr.ainage condition exists ~n this area and the heavy rains of the past several weeks have convinoed us that construction on this project can not be started until some relief is given. At present all of the rain fall collected east of this proporty is oarried down De~on and Court Sts. and under Hillcrest Dr. through concrete pipes and allowed to discharge freely on the above mentioned property. This exoessive amount of water creates a saturated subgrade condition and allows grea.t quantities of water to stand ~or several days after ever,y rainfall. It is therefore requested a stor.m sewer be installed on South Hillcrest Dr. to divert the flow of storm waters from this area to some other existing sewer or drainage ditch. It is DlY understanding that a stor.m sewer now ter~minates at the intersection of Ohestnut and South Hill- orest Dr. It w~ll be greatly appreciated if the Mayor and City Commissioners will give this prob1em their ~ediate conside~tion since the early completion of this school building is of vital importance to the community.

MI��IO/nf Enc. Yours very trulg, �s� niaurice M. Condon St. Cecelia�s Church Clearvrater, Florida APri1 21, 1951' The fionorable P�tayor and City Corrnnissioners Clearwe,�ter, Fla. Gentlemen: St. Cecelia Parish has acquired a piecs of property 605 ft. by 636 ft. on the northvrest corner oi SouLh Hillcrest Dr. and �he proposed extenaion of Chestnut St. The program calls for the immed:iate conetruction of an 8 c7!ass room scho�l building to be oomplated by next S'eptember, to be followed in the very near iuture by tha construction of a ChapeZ, gymnasium and convent and additional class• rooms. The school building will ent��l an invastm�nt of $'�200,000,0� and the completed program several times this figuxe, A: serious drainage condition exists in this area and the heav� rains of the past several vrgeks h�ve convinced us that construotion on this project can not be s'tarted until some r,elief is g3.ven. At present all of the rain �all collected east of this property is carried dowr, DeLeon and Court Sts, and under Nillcrest Dro thr.ou�h conarete pipes and allowed to discharge freely on the above mentioned property. This excessive amount of water creates e 8aturated subgrade condition and allo�^rs great quantities ef water to atand for severaZ da�s a£ter every rszinfall. It is therefore requested a storm sewer be installed on S'outh Hillcrest Dr. to divert the i'low of atorru waters from this arsa to some other existing sev�er or drainage d3tch. Tt is my �unde_rstanding that a 9torm sewer now terminates at the intersection oi Chestnut and South HilZ- crest Dr. It tivill be greatly appreciated if the �layor and City Co�nissioners rvill give this �roblsm the3r immediate considara;tion since the early completion. of this gchooi building is of vital importance to the corununity.
