CITY COMMISSION MEETING

what I read in the newspaper. At any rate I believe there was some talk goin~ around
about restrictions in the deed which prevented the City from leasing that dock. If
there is any such restriction on the record, I have yet to find it. Mr. Wingo, the
City Clerk, could find no restriction. This question of restrictions comes up because
there mi~ht have been a question as to how this ordinance is to be interpreted. I
don't beiieve there is a thing in the world which prevents the City from leasing the
dock. If there is, it also prevents any pleasure craft from tyinp, up over ten hours.
The City Manager has authority to ~ive permit. ~~en it comes to a matter of policy,
if you want to leqse the dock you can. I would like the "Sea Fever" to stay. It
has been there over four years. We now hHve the new Marina over there, and it has
been said that we should put the boats over at the new Marina. If you put the "Sea
Fever" on the s::\me dock, you have a six foot dock leadinlS to a "T" head. You are
going to have more people than thAt dock will accommodate. CAptain l~eyer paid $65.00
a month. If you move the "Sea Fever" to the M~rina, he would pay $25.00 a month."
City M~nager stated it would be not $25.00 but less than $60.00 if the City puts down
additional piling for a slip. Mr. Cooper stated the "Sea Fever" should be le~t at
the dock from the standpoint of a tourist angle, that it becomes a question o~ inter-
pretation of this Ordinance. f\lr. A. D. Finch, attorney representinp; the eighteen
boat owners now docked at the new M'1rina, addressed the Commission. He said "We are
not seeking for favors. We are askin~ for a fair deal. We are requesting that the
"Sea Fever" be removed from the City Fier. \Ye feel that there has been a discrimina-
t ion after the Marina was built." ~:lr. Finch quoted Section 2 of Ordinance 406 which
was omitted in Chapter 5 of the City Code. He felt it was unfair to require the other
boats to move to the new Marina and allow the "Sea Fever" to remain at the City Dock,
as it does not allow fair competition. Mr. Cooper presented petitions to allow the
~Sea Fever" to remain at the City Dock, signed by 304 people. Mr. Lloyd Mosley,
attorney, also addressed the COlilmission in behalf of the eighteen boat owners. Mr.
Edward Ellwood, I~r. Zachary, r.irs. ',>;eav.:r, r.lrs. Lewis, Mr. James D. Olson and Mr. Weaver
in the audience spoke in favor of the Sea Fevel' remaining at the City Dock. MHyor
Brown asked the City Attorney to read the Ordinance. The City Attorney read Chapter
Five of the City Code. M~yor Brown asked if this was a legally constituted ordinance,
and the City Attorney replied that it was. Mayor Brown asked the City Attorney for
his legal opinion. The City Attorney repe8ted that he thought it was purely a question
of policy for the City. He thou~ht the Commission should settle it as a matter of
policy. It is within the power of the COllunission to repeAl the Ordinance if they wish.
The purpose of the Ordinance was to in somewise restrict the use of that dock to
temporary dockin'y,. I'lay:>r Brown asked if the City Commission who gave the original
permit acted within their powers. City Attorney replied, he thought the City violated
this ordinance when it did that, the f3ct that the intention was to make it for
temporary landin~ facilities. In his opinion, the ordinance was very inadequately
drawn, and should be amended and clar'ified. Commissioner Crown asked how mc:my
additional slips ~re available in the MQrina. Question was referred to City Dock-
master who stated there were available 6 spaces out of 33 in the commercial area
and 7 spaces out of 49 in the priv::te area. He also stated there was a place for
the "Sea Fever" right now. Commissioner Crown brought up the point that in the
coming year while the construction of the new Marina building is going on it will be
a pretty crowded place. Co jlmissioner Bl;:mton moved that the City discontinue all use
of the dock by commercial boats until the City can formulate a plan for handling pier
usage, that Ca~tain Meyer be Given proper notice to vacate M8rch 1, 1952; and in the
meantime the City Manager be instructed to look into the matter of proper docking
facilities and making such facilities as are necessary for Captain Meyer and that
Chapter Five of the City Code, 1950, be repealed by proper legal procedure.
Corumissioner Lynn seconded the mot ion and it was carried. Upon the vote be ing taken)
Commissioners Blanton, Lynn and Russell voted IT Aye IT and i-layor Brown and Commissioner
Crown voted "No".

Commissioner Crown moved that the City !J1:1nager be authorized to work out bait con-
cession arrangelfients and report recommendntions and also arrange for small boats for
hire at the Municipal Pier. Commissioner Blanton seconded the motion, which was voted
upon and unanimously carried.
Mr. Ben Krentzrnan, appearing on behalf of the Royal Palm Notel and Coffee Shop,
presented a request for an exception to the Zoning Act to allow a 10 foot set-back
line on Lincoln Avenue rather than the 20 foot set-back as required by the present
zoning ordinance on Lot 19 less the east 10$~ feet, Padgett Estates Subdivision.
He submitted legal notice aud affidavit of publication showing that a public hearing
had been advertised in two consecutive issues of the Clearwater Sun. He also stated
that copy of the notice had been sent to thirteen property owners in that area. This
matter had been submitted to the Zonin~ Board for its consideration Rnd the recom-
mendation was that the request be denied. Mr. Krentzman said that on the west of the
motel there is in effect a corner lot. The City zoning runs back on Cleveland Street
110 feet as business zoning. Of the 212.46 feet in depth, the first 110 feet is
zoned as business, the rest is zoned as R-2 or multiple dwelling. ~~. Krentzman
presented a map of the property showing the location of the proposed building with
a set-back of 10 feet on Lincoln Avenue. City Attorney submitted a Resolution which
would grant the Zoning exception as requested. Cornmissioner Blanton moved that the
Resolution be adopted. Corrmissioner Crown seconded the motion, which was voted upon
and unanimously carried.
Commissioner Lynn left the meeting at 10:30 P.M.
Consideration of approval of plat from L. B. Crayton, located east of South Greenwood
Ave,nue and approximately 200 feet north of Lake View Drive - consisting of eighteen
lots - was brought before the Commission by the City Manager. He stated that~the City
Engineer had already checked this for drainage. This tentative plat was presented to
the Commission pending approval of the regular plat when it will be adopted for
signature. City Engineer and the City Msnager recommend approval of this tentative
plat. Mayor Brown inquired if Mr. Crayton intended to build houses right' away. Mr.
Crayton replied that he did as soon as necessary improvements can be put in. He said
the houses would be commensurate with that locality meeting FHA standards. Commissioner
Blanton .1,nquired if the street was to be dedicated as a public street and was informed
that it was. Commissioner Blanton moved that the tentative plat be accepted.
Oownissioner Crown seconded the motion, which was voted upon and unanimously carried.
