Dept. 1 The meeting was called to order by the Lmyor. Correction of minutes of August 13, 1951, was brought to the attention of the Commission by Commissioner Black, who stated that one additional bid for bookkeeping machine was made by Gult Coast Bus- iness Machine Company. and not included in the minutes) City Clerk stated that this oversight had been corrected in the pernmnent minutes on file with the City. Com- missioner Black also stated that the minutes did not correctly carry the name of the Country Club group, which i8 known as the Clearwater Country Club, not the Country Club Association. Commissioner ~nn moved the adoption of the minutes ot August 13. 1951, as amended by changing words, "Country Club Association" to "Clear- water Country Club", In accordance with copiea thereof' furnished each member in writing, and that their reading be dispensed with. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion. Vote was cast and motion unanhlously carried. Attorney Ralph Richards~ representing the Edgewater Drive Association. spoke on the subject of fills on Clearwater Bay. He stated that one application pending for purchase of additional submerged land was denied, but that sale was made to Jack :Moss by the I.C.C. in view of the fact tha t he owned the uplands and adjacent submerged lands. Mr. Richards presented plat of entire water front from stevenson Oreek up to Fenway Hotel. indicating names of owners of all waterfront property along that area. This map showed public park area, areas where action is pending. He stated that a large number of property owners would go along with conveying their property for park purposes if the Commission continues with its present stand or opposing any filling along that area, and is willing to take necessary action to prevent any suoh filling. He wished the Cormnittee to instruct the City Attorney to have the City acquire all uplands not already acquired, for park purposes, and any property not volunteered, by instituting condemnation prooeedings. He also pre- sented history of property and all of its owners. He stated that he and his asso- ciate, Mr. Nodine, and nearly all property owners in this area would cooperate. He said that he believed that Jack MoSS and others still intend to get per.mit to flll in that area. It was the opinion of the Oi ty Attorney that property could be condemned for park purposes. Commissioner Blanton brought up the matter that since the Moss property had been platted as lots that there is nothing to prevent them from filling their property, and he urged condemnation proceedings in this case. Commissioner Blanton brought up the matter that it was not up to the City to spear- head this movement due to the expense involved and the heavy burden of work it would incur for the City Attorney. Commissioner Blanton asked whether If the City ac- quired it for park purposes to what extent they would have to go ahead and develop it to show their good Intent. Mr. Riohardo stated that he felt that if lawns were put in, shrubbery, benches, etc., that that would be sufficient development for park purposes. Judge William Castagna, representing lIeBsrs. Fiorintini and Baldesarre, property owners in this area, stated thot the two men who recently bought a large tract in this area are developers and wish to develop in that area. He pointed out that they purchased riparian rights with this property, subject only to the I.C.O., that theIr investment was huge and that they made the investment because of the riparian rights and that it was thes.;, rights which coat so much. He stated that the uplandS alone would not be reasonable oonside~tion. He said that they did not threaten immediate rill, that the land would not pe filled for at least one year under any circumstances. He felt that there WaS no reason why the Oommission should be involved 10 the matter. He said that even though 150 or 200 people signed a petition objecting to fill in this section that this petition would still not ohange his olient's legal right to develop his property. He said that the City would derive a direot benefit from the development which would take place on the part of these property owners through the taxes inv01ved, and that the development would enhance, not detract from the aesthetic beauty of the Brea 0 He re~t that the only people who would have any semblance of right to object would be the people who would have their view of the water obstructed, and that the'~e property owners did not intend to build to obstruct the view, but to develop in front of the property they have bought. He felt that ~e City had no right to spearhead movement to object to private property owners developing their property in any way they wished, and that if the City did condemn this property for park purposes that the developers would suffer a terrific loss. He stated that he felt it was not legally possible for anyone to prevent them trom the development of this land. Mr. Lewis Homer, representing the Edgewater Drive Association, otated that he had offered the City 296 feet or frontage free of charge. He said it was not platted land. but d.n acreage. He stated he had as much right to develop as aDJone as he owned the land :long before the riparian rIghts were in question. He stated that as a real estate owner in Clearwater he realized how important preserving tho beauty of C1earwa tel' 1s, and that the beauty of this drive was one o-r the main reasons why people in the past years were a ttl'Elcted to Clear- water at a time when Clearwater had no money to spend in advert~sing. He said that he telt .that only the City has the right to step into thi8 question and protect the bay frontage. He stated that he did not wish to give the Oit:r 293 feet frontage un- less everJone else is going to do the 8ame. He said for the good of his oommunity he would do th1s and tha t most of the other property owne1'8 would do likewlse. Be said he felt the City could purchase tor a vel7 reasonElble oonsideration the propel'ty along that areQ.

Uro Homer emphatioally rep11ed that he would be glad to cooperate in any way that he could. Commissioner Blanton suggested that the Com- mission defer Action until turther report oould be obtaineds City Attorney stated that although his wor1<: was heavy that he would devote time in the evening to helping to work out this problem as Q private oit1zen of Clearwater. He said that this area was the introduction to the City which favorably impressed people toward the whole community when seeing this initial sight. He stated that maintenance of pBrka is for reoreational purposes and felt that the view of the bay could not be more beauti- ful when viewed from an unobstructed area. He telt there was nothing in the Cit7 as tmpreasive as this entrance to the City. Mayor Brown wished to appoint a oitizens' oommittee counseled and assisted by Attorney Ware. Mr. Ralph Richards brought up the matter that it people do not know what aotion the City is going to take that they are not going to be willing to forfeit their property - that he belIeved the City should take action to condemn property ror a City Park. Brown replied tha t he beli8ved another two weeks or so would be necessary for additional research on the matter and that the Committee could bring 1n report. Commissioner Lynn moved that matter of the property being acquired ~or Park purposes be referred to a citizens' committee to study the matter further and bring a report back to the Committee, with the assistance of Attorney Ware. Oommissioner Turner seconded this motion. City Attorney suggested that motion be prefaced as tol1ows: t'The City Cmmnission of the CIty of Clearwater is considering the acquisition or condemnation of this property for Park purposos." ~nn accepted this amendment. Amended motion then read: "The City Comm1ssion of the City of Clearwater is considering the acquisItIon or oon- demnation of this property for Park purposes and In view of this fact I move that the matter be referred to a citizenst cO!lmlittee to study the matter :further and bring a report back to the Committee~ 'With the assistance of Attorney Waren. Com- missioner Turner seoonded this motion. It was then voted upon and unanimously carried. Mayor Brown then appointed City Attorney- Ware as Chairman, Mr. Ralph R1charda, JAr.

Notice of public hearing was read by City Clerk for these ~provements, in the amount ot $6,8l~.00. Oity Engineer stated that all property owners had been notified except for one owner on an unimproved lot, who is out ot town. City Manager then opened bids trom W. H. Ar.mston Company, of Dunedin in the amount of #~,3l6.50J and E. H. Holcomb, Jr., Contractors, ot Olearwate~, in the amount or $7,202.50. Citr Manager asked that sinoe only two bIds were received whether bids oou1d be let at this meet- ing. He stated that he and the CIty Engineer recommended accepting the low bid trom E. H. Holcomb. and Company for $~,202.50. Commissioner Black moved that re- commendation of CIty Manager be accepted and bid of E. H. Holcomb & Company tor $7,202.50 be accepted. Commissioner Lynn seconded this motion~ which was voted upon and. unanimously carried. Commissioner Black moved the adoption of' a resolution that the improvements out~ined in this pub~ic notice be made. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion, which was voted upon and unanimously carried. Oity Attorney's report on request of' Texas Company for f'il~ing statIon at the ,Southeast corner of ,the intersection of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Highland Avenue, was given. City Attorney stated that he had made a study o~ the matter of this appli- cation. He said he had studied the case which Mr. Ralph Richards cited to the Oom- mission and other cases which had gone to the Supreme Court on the same question and on the facts 1nvolved in this particular application that they received a mors thorough and detailed treatment in the Clearwater case than in any other case before the Supreme Court and in that case every reason which was given in the discussion before the Com- mission at its last meeting refusing to grant this pe~it wers passed upon and an ad- verse ruling made by the Supreme Court of Florida. He stated that unless the Su- preme Court retracts from its positIon taken in that case that the case oould be forced in Oourt. He stated that they were not in agreement with other states in such issues, but that he could not recommend that the Commission refuse to grant the permit to build and be sure that they were with1.n their legal rights in doing so in spite of the City zoning ord1nance as now set up. Commissioner Turner stated that in most other cases a possible traf'flo hazard W8S involved but that in this case an actuall traff1c hazard already exists which would be increased by the add1tion of a ~il~1ng station at this corner~ On that basis he moved that the request be denIed. Com- missioner Blanton seconded the motion. Mr. Richards stated that apparently the Com- miasion is attempting to deny the per.m1t because of the fact that it would make worse the traffic hazard and that in fairness to the o1tizen who is mak1ng the request that the Commission shmlld state the reasons ~or denying this request. The City Attorney agreed that this procedure would be proper to rollow. C1~ Attorney then read Paragraph ~ of Section VI of the Zoning Ordinance which read as follows: "Gaso- line filling or service stations, except where specia~ permit ha~ been secured rrom the City Commission. Such special permit may be refused Whenever, in the opinion of the City Commission, the proposed gasoline filling or service station would un- duly increase fire hazard or trattic congestion, or endanger the safety or general welfare ot the City of Clearwater". Commissioner Turner then withdrew his motion. and moved that app11cation tor per.mlt to build filling station on Lots 1 and 2, Druid Hill SubdivIsion by the Texas Company be denIed on the ~ollowing ground: That it would increase tire hazard, increase treff10 congestion and endanger the safety and genera1 woltare of the citizens o~ t~ City of Clearwater. OommIssioner Blanton seconded the motion, which was voted upon and tL~animously carried. Report on Carlouel DrIve was given by the City Attox-ney. He read resolution vacating a portion of land dedicated for street purposes on the thoroughtare now }mown as Carlouel DrIve in Clearwater. Commissioner Turner moved the adopt1on ot this resolution. Commissioner Blanton seconded the motion. The City Attorney also read lotter from Attorneys McMullen and Ooza dated August 15, 1951, regarding ereotion or a sea wall as agreed by T. R. Palmer.

He stated that a large number oP property ov�ners would go �long with conveying their property for park pur�oses if the Ca�ission continues vrith its present stand oP opposing any filling along that areag and is willing to teke necessary ection to prevent any auah �'illing. Iie wiahed the Corrunittee to instr.uct the City Attorne9 to have t:ie City acquira all uplands not already acquired, Por park purposes, and anv propert� not volunteered, by inst3tut9.r.g condemn�tion proceedings. He aZso pre- aented history ofl property and all of its owners, He stated that he and his asao- ciate, Mr. Nodine, s nd nearly all property owners in this area would cooperate„ He said that he believed that Jack Dq�ss and others still intend to �et permit �to fill in that area. It was the opinion of the City Attorneg that property could be condemned for park purposes, Calmniasioner Blenton brought up the matter that sinca the Uloss property had been platted as lots that there is nothing to prevent them Prom filling their propert>y, and he urged condemnation proceedings in this case. Conmlissioner Blanton brought up the matter that it was not up to the Gitg< to spear-. head this movement due to the expense involved and the h6avy burden of work it would ineur for the C3t� Attorney. Comni9s3oner Blanton asked whether if the City ac- quired it for park purposes to what extent theq would have to go ahead and develop it to shoati* their good intent. �ir. Richard:s stated tha� he felt that if lawns were put in, shrubbery, benches, etc., that that would be sufPicient developmen� Por park purposea. Judge Ydilliam Castegna, reprasenting Diessrs. Fioxintini and B�ldasarre, proper�y owners in this area' stated that the two men who recently bought a large tract in this area are developers and wi.sh ta develop in that ereas He pointed out that ichey purchased ripsrian rights with this property, subjeci only to the I.C.C., that their investment was huge and that they made the investment because of the riparian rights and that it was these rights whic}z cost so much. Ae atated �ha� the upl�nda alone would not be reasonable csonsideratinn. Ae said that they did not threaten innnediate fill, that tYxe land would no� be fillad for at least one 9ear under any circumstances. Ae feTt that there wa� no reason why the Co:mnission should be involved in the matter. He said that even though 150 or 200 people signed a petition objecting to fill in tiiia section that t2iis petition would still not ohange his client�s legal ri�t to develop his prop�rty. He said that the City would derive a direct usnefit from the davelopment which would take place on the part of these propert� owners through the taxes involved, and that the develo�anent would enhanee, not detract from the aesthetic beauty of the area. He Pe1t that the only people xho mould have any semblance of right to object would be the people who would have their view of the water obstructed, end thet thesa property owners did not intend to build to obstru�t the v3ew, but to develop in Pront of the property they have boughte $a felt that the City had no right to spearhead movement to object to private property ov�ners dsveloping their pr�perty in any way they wished, and that iP the City dyd condemn this property for park puz�poses tha� the denelopera would auffer e terrifie losse He ststed that he felt it wss not legally possible for anyone to prevent them f'rom the development of t�.is 1and, bIr. T,ewia Homer, represanting the Edgewater Drive Aasociation, stated that he had o�'fered the City 296 fset of �rontage frea oi charge. He said it was not platted land, but in acreagee He stated he had ss much right to clevelop as anyone as he owned the land �ong before the ripariara rights �vere in question. He stated that as a real estate owner in Clearwater he reaiized how 3mportant preserving the beauty of Clearwater is, and that the beauty of this drive was one oP the main reasons why people in the past years wera attracted to C].ear- water at a tima �vhen Clearvrater had no money to spend in advertising4 He said that he felt thst oz�ly the C3tq has tho right to step into �.his question and protect the bay frontage. He stated that he did not wieh to give the City 296 feet frontage un- less everyone elso is going to do the saane. He ssid fox the good oP h3s cammunit� he would do this and t3iat mast of the oi:her propex�ty owners would do likewiseo He said he felt the City could purahsse for a very reasonable oonsider€ttion the property al�ng t2iat area. Co�mnias3oner Blenton asked if Mr. H9mer would work on a cormnittee CITX' COR'fI�TSSION HiEETTNG August 20, 1951 with Mr. Richard� to contact property ownars to see how many would be willing to deed property to the C3ty.

Cominissioner Blan�on auggested tl�at �he Com- mission defer sction until flzrther reportr could bs obtained. City Attornay sta�ed th�t although his worl� was heavy that he tvould devote time in the even3ng to 2ie1p3ng to work out this problem ae a priv�te citizen of Clearwater. He said tk�at this area was the introduction to the City whieh favorablg 3mpreased people tovrard the whole coam�un3ty when seeing this initial sight. He stated that maintenance of parks ia for recreational purposes az�d felt that the view of the bay could not be more beauti- fu.l when viewed from an unobstructed araa. He felt there was noth3ng in the City as impressive as th3s entrance to the City. Dqayor Brown z�r3shed to appoint a aitizenso �ounnittee counseled and assis�ed by Attorney Vliare. M.r. k�lph Richards brought up the matter that i:f people do not know what action the City is going to take that they are not going to be willing to i'orf�it their property � tY!at he b�l3evecl the City should take aetian to condemn property �or e City� tark. Brown replled thet he believed another twa �veeks or so would be necessary far� additiona�. research on the matter and that the Carmnittee could bring in x�eport.
