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. ';? .s . .I,. ," , . ~1 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. I' ,', ---~~_. l"....'. >".

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.

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.

Vlingo City Auditor and Clerk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 29, 1952 To: The Mayor and Board of City Commissioners City Hall Clearwater, Florida 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, CLEARWATER BEACH ASSOCIATION CBA:gcb By /s/ Ralph W. Carson, President CC: C. L. Darling, President Clearwater Federation 01 Civic Clubs 1059 Granada Blvd. Clearwater, Florida ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
