The City Manager recommended the extension of 4CO feet of 2 inch gas main on
Bayview Drive, Belleair Estates, estimated cost $280.00. Commissioner Lynn moved
that the 400 feet of 2 inch gas gain on Bayview Drive, Belleair, be approved.
Commissioner Crown seconded the motion, which was voted upon and unanimously carried.
. . main
C~ty Manager subm~tted for consideration the request for 600 feet of 6 inch waterJ
on North Betty Lane, from the end of the present main to the City limits to serve a
new subdivision opening up just north of Betty Lane, with approximately 72 building
luto, some with houses now under construction. He said the owners of the subdivision
will extend a six inch main from the City limits, 600 feet north and install some 1800
feet of 2 inch water main at their own expense; this is to be considered on a refund
basis later on. He stated that the question now is whether or not the Commission
will consider extending the 6 inch main at the end of our present main to the City
limits at an approximate estimated cost of il,800.00. The City M~nager remarked that
it is not too far from there to Sunset Point; if that were tied in, it would ~ive us
another line to our distribution system north. Commissioner Lynn moved that 600 feet
of 6 inch water main on North Betty Lane be denied and the City Manager be instructed
to inform them of this Commission's policy on such m8tters. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Blanton, and unanimously carried.

Commissioner Blanton moved that the City Manager be instructed to put on the
agenda for an early meeting for definite action the question of supplying gas and
water to outside territories. Commissioner Lynn seconded the motion, and upon vote
being taken, it carried unanimously.
/.
The City Engineer presented a map and his recommendations for drainage or Oak
Acres #5 Subdivision. He reported that he had studied the drainage situation and
that it was practical to divert the excess water down Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard to Allen's
Creek, that the creek was lar~e enough but would require cleaning. He estimated the
entire cost at approximately w23,000.OO, which would amount to less than ~ cent per
square foot of the area affected. The Mayor suggested that the Con~ission go out
and look over the conditions on Tuesday, February 5th, at 5:00 P.M. It was moved by
Commissioner Lynn that the City M3nager and the City Engineer be authorized to
advertise for a Fublic Hearing on drainage of Oak Acres and that the date be set by
the City Manager and the City Engineer on approval after the Commission has met and
investigated this area. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and
unanimously carried.
The City Engineer submitted a map showing the proposed sanitary sewer system
and plan for draining the Skycrest section. He said that the County Health Department
has dp.clared the continued use of septic tanks to be unsatisfactory and a health
menace, and has suggested that a sanitary sewer system be installed. The City Engineer
called attention to the fact that a contract has been let for one school in this area
and that some provision for sanitation should be arranged immediatelYi also that
there was a possibility of another school being built in the near future. It was
su~gested that the City Engineer and the City Manager attend a meeting to explain
this project to all Skycrest residents and members of the Civic Association. It was
moved by Commissioner Crown that this item be deferred until the City Manager and
the City Engineer have an opportunity to meet with the (Skycrest) Civic Association
and report back to the Commission, and that the City Engineer prepare a detailed
cost for the entire area on the sanitary sewer, as well as the drainage sewer, that
would give the people of Skycrest a more actual cost per person of what they are
going to have to pay. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Lynn and carried
unanimously.
. The City Attorney prese~~ed a Resolution assessing the cost of improvements on
Coronado Drive, against the abutting and adjacent properties. Commissj.oner Lynn
.'moved that the Resolution be adopted as read by the City Attorney. The motion was
'. '.sE1)conded' by Commissioner. Russell and carried unanimously.

CITY CO~~ISSION MEETING
February 4, 1952
Commissioner Crown moved that the tentative plat of Gracelawn Subdivision be
approved, subject to the approval of the County Health Department. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously.
On the tentative plat of Unit #7, Skycrest, presented by Leo Butler, the City
En~ineer stated that the subdivider in this case is ~oing to put in streets, curbs
and gutters and sewers where needed to carry off the drainage, that the grades have
been worked out and that the drainn~e can be handled very successfully. Commissioner
Crown moved that the tentative plat of Unit 87, Skycrest Subdivision, be approved
subject to the approval of the County Health Department. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Lynn and cnrried unanimously.
The City M~nager and the City Engineer recolomended the approval of the tentative
plat of Edenville Subdivision, only 330 feet of which is inside the City limits.
Couunissioner Crown moved that the tentative plat of Edenville Subdivision be approved,
subject to the approvc31 of the County Health Department. Commissioner Lynn seconded
the motion and it carried unanimously.
It was moved by Commissioner Lynn that the pInt of Beverly Heights Subdivision
as prepared by Mr. Leo Butler and approved by the City r~anager and the City Engineer
be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously.
The City Manager reported that funds had been received from the sale of the
Yacht Basin Revenue Certificates 8nd that plans were proceeding. He stated that he
did not have the necessary information to make a full report at this time, but that
plans for the ~urina Building have been approved.
Regarding the intersection of Park Street and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, the City
r-lanager said that the recommendation of the Trnffic Departlnent of the Police Department
~f tRQ Felioe D~p~~Ht was to cut the curb back and round it rather than having it
pointed as it is now hindering the flow of traffic. He said the estimated cost from
the Engineering Department is $600.00 for settin~ this curb back, the work to be done
by City crews. Commissioner Blanton moved that the City Manager's recommendation be
followed and that the curb set-back be made according to the drawings presented by
the City Manager. Commissioner Lynn seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
At the intersection of Drew Street and Missouri Avenue, the City Manager
recommended that the curb be set back to help out traffic, for approximately l50
feet along Drew Street, at an estimated cost of $300.00, the work to be done by City
crews. Commissioner Blanton moved that the City MRnager's recorunendation be followed
and the curb be set back as shown on the drawing. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Blanton su~~ested that the City continue the pavement or Myrtle
Avenue on through to Serninole 3treet, because Seminole Street runs from the Bay all
the way to Betty Lane, and if that little short section was paved, traffic ~oing
north from this area could bypass the downtown corners, go to Seminole and turn to
Fort Harrison Avenue and go out, or it could go east on Semindle, out Betty LRne
and directly into Highland Avenue and north. It would give a double outlet for
traffic that otherwise has to come down in this bottleneck. The Mayor asked the City
Manager to investigate the feasibility of this and report back what it would cost
to do that job.
Regarding the City's acqulrln~ of Lot 3, Block Z, Hibiscus Gardens, for street
purposes, Commissioner Lynn moved that the City ~anager and City Clerk be authorized
to contact owner of Lot 3 as to the price and bring recommendation back to Commission,
and also to include Lot 4. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried
unanimously.
Corrnnissioner Lynn moved that the request of the Finance Department to transfer
$25,000.00 from the Cigarette Tax Fund to the General Fund be approved. Commissioner
Crown seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
The City Attorney presented a Resolution, submitted by the City of Long Beach,
California, relative to Senate Bill 940 or H.R. Bill 4484, in the U. S. Congress,
pertaining to the exercising by the States of the rights of dominion over State
tidelands. Commissioner Blanton moved that the matter be referred to a Committee
for study, with authority to act and a suitable Resolution be adopted urgin~ the
passage of these bills in the U. S. Con~ress. Commissioner Russell seconded the
motion which carried unanimously.
The Mayor appointed Commissioners Lynn, Russell and himself to serve on this
Co~nittee regarding ~enate Bill 940.
City Clerk read a communication from the Clearw8.ter Beach Associ8tion, dated
January 29, 1952, urging the City to reconsider its action relative to the use of
Municipal Dock by the fishing boat "Sea Fever". Commissioner Lynn moved that the
letter be accepted as read by the City Clerk. l~lotion was seconded by Cor:irnissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Blanton reported that he had received an offer relative to the
leasing of certain City-owned property on the Beach, and that it was his understanding
that ~r. Lynn had received a similar offer. He suggested that the Beach Lease
Committee meet with Mr. Latimer, Mr. Lynn's applicant or any other applicants relative
to the rental of Marina property.

Re: Location of the "Sea Fever~
Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the Clearwater Beach Association held Monday, January 28, 1952,
the recent decision of your City Commission to deny docking facilities to the Sea
Fever at the Municipal dock off the mainland near the causeway was discussed at
length among the sixty members present. As a result of this discussion, the follow-
ing resolution was passed with but one dissent, and the writer was instructed to
advise your Commission:
...
RESOLVED, that the City Commission be requested to reconsider their recent
decision concerning the location of the Sea Fever and allow the Sea Fever to
remain where it is at the Municipal Dock; and that a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the Federation of Civic Clubs in order that it may join in this
above action.
Cordially yours,

Honorable Mayor and
Fellow Commissioners:
As you know, the office of City Commissioner exacts a lot of our time and energy.
This I have and would gladly continue to give, but I cannot and will not continue to
serve on the Commission and have to take the unjust and unfair abuse and malicious
insinuations hurled at me by the only newspaper of general circulation published in
Clearwater.
If I cannot sit here on this Commission and state and vote my honest convictions
on any official matter on which we have to make a decision, without having my honor
and reputation assailed as was done in the January 23rd issue and previous issues of
the Sun~ then the Commission seat is not for me. I hereby relinquish it and tender
this, my resignation as Commissioner of the City of Clearwater.
Except for the conditions just recited, it has been a pleasure to serve on the
Commission. The fine co-operative and progressive spirit of both the 1951 and 1952
Commissions, and the genuine desire of all the Commissioners, both old and new, to
accomplish the greatest good for Clearwater has been gratifying indeed.
I have no political aspirations, but expect to devote more time to my business
and get in a little more ~ishing and recreation than I have been able to do this
past yeCir.
Clearwater, Florida.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Herbert Blanton

Regarding the intersection of Parl� StreEt and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, the City
Manager said that the recomrnendation of the Traffic Department of the Police Department RTTEST:
' �-}�^�,��n�� u'r�N�� was to cut the cur� bacic and round it rather than having it
pointad as it is now hindering the fTow of traPfic. He sa1� the estimated cost from '
the Engineering Department is �600.00 for setting this curb back the work to be done , i
by City crews. Commissioner Blant'on moved that the City Manager-'s re�ommendation'he

and the curb be set back as shown on the drawing. Motion tivas seconded by Commissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Blanton sug�ested that the City continue the pavement of Myrtle '
�venue on through to 5e�inole Street, because Seminole Street runs from the Bay all
the way to Bettp Lane, and if that little short section was paved, traffic :�oing ' _
north from this area could bypass the dov�mtown corners, go to Seminole and turn to '
I'ort Harrison.Avenu.e and go out, or it could go east on Seminole; out 8stty Lane '
and directly into Highland Avanue and north. 1t would give a double outlet f�r
trdffic that otherwise has to come down in this bottleneck. The I�iayor asked the City
Ufanager to investigate the f�asibil�ty of this and report back what it vlould cost-
to do that job. _ _
Regarding the Gity�s acquiring of Lot 3, Block Z, Hibiscus Gardens, for str�et
purposes, Commissioner Lynn moved that the City Managar and Citg Clerk be authorized '
