The motion was seconded by Commissione~and unanimously carried. Crown The Mayor said the Commission should not lose sight of the plan to include a pier in the r,larina project; a larp,e numher of the citizens wanted and expected to have a pier included. Mr. R. Wendell Spragins of R. W. Spragins & Co., Memphis, Tennessee, financial agents for the City, said his company was committed to the bondholders on the pier and he requested that a pier be included in the final plans. The City Clerk read letters from Granville Hamner and from Frank H. Latimer, setting forth proposals by those gentlemen to erect and lease buildings on the Marina property. The letters are set forth in the following pages of these minutes and made a part thereof. By consent, the City Mana~er was instructed to contact these gentlemen relative to their proposals, and it was agreed that the Commission would meet Thursday noon, February 21st, to discuss the matter. The Mayor announced a public hearin~ with reference to improvements on Baymont Street, Papaya Street and Gulfview Boulevard. The Clerk reported that the public hearing had been advertised as required, and the City Engineer reported that each interested property holder had been advised by mail of the hearing. The City Engineer stated it was intended to assess the paving on a front foot basis and drainage on an area basis. Mr. Guss Wilder addressed the Commission, stating that the area had been surveyed at least three times and none of the surveys agreed as to the real location of Papaya Street, that this is an oversize section and the real location of the right- of-way is actually twenty feet south of the location where the City proposes to install a curb. He stated that he had entered into a compromise agreement with the City, recorded in Deed Book 1189, Page 405, Au~ust 17, 1945, and had moved some buildings from the area the City contends is a ri~ht-of-way; however, the agreernent stipulates that if any other litigant should establish the right-of-way as being at the point he (Mr. Wilder) claims it is, then he would fall heir to the right-of-way the City now proposes to use. I:~. Wilder was asked by the Mayor as to how long the present right- of-way had been in use as a thoroughfare. Mr. Wilder replied, "More than seven years, if that is what you are driving attt. Mr. Wilder said he felt it was necessary to protest at this time to protect his interests. Mr. Ralph W. Carson informed the Commission that neither ~~. John S. Taylor, Jr., or Mr. R. D. Witter had any objections to the proposed project. Mrs. A. D. Tanner inquired as to whether or not it would be possible to use the existing curb in front of her property and if they would be reim- bursed for the use of the old curb. The City Engineer stated that the use of the present curb would not be practical. Mr. Louis Perroni suggested that all the Australian pines along the street be removed. The City Engineer estimated the total cost of the project at $11,120.76 or $3.038 per front foot for paving and $.029 par .. ."

The City Attorney presented a Resolution which would assess the cost of Marianne Street drainage against the benef'ited properties. On a motion by Commi.ssioner LYt:ln which was seconded by Commissioner Russell and unanimously carried, the Resolution was adopted. ,:r' "..: .'r 'fhe Clerk read a communication addressed to the Zoninp,; Board by Mrs. Florence Barras in which Mrs. Barras requested that she be granted an exception under the hardshir clause of the Zonin~ Act to perrnit her to convert her residence at 1611 Sunset Drive into two apRrtmunts. The Clerk also read the Zoning Board's recommenda- t ion that I~lrs. Barras' request be denied. It \\Tas moved by Cornmissi oner Crown that the Zoning Board's recommendation be arproved and the request be denied. The tnotion was seconded by Conwlissioner Lynn and carried unanimously.

The City Engineer reported that he thou~ht the drainage problem could be handled nicely by the instal18tion of a curb on Turner Street between Hillcrest Avenue and Evergreen Avenue. The Mayor raised the point of securing easements from Evergreen Avenue to the natural drainage basin of Stevenson Creek. Discussion brought out the fact that the Florida Acres, Inc., own 50% of the property alon~ the street and that their request could be used as a basis for advertising a public hearing. COlllmissioner Lynn moved that the City iJlanager and City EnB:ineer be authorized to advertise for a Public Hearin~ on the drainage in Druid Hei~hts Subdivision and bring back their report of estim~ted cost of the project all at one time. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and unanimously carried. Regarding the bids for sewer pumps for the Clearwater Beach pumping station, the City Manager stated that he had examined the bids and found that the $5,060.00 bid had covered two pumps, switches and motors, complete, and that the other bid covered one pump only. It was his recommendation that one pump on the $5,060.00 bid or $2,530.00 for one pump, motor and accessories be accepted. He requested that a work order for hh~ project in the amount of t4,702.50 for the complete job, including installation, be approved. Commissioner Lynn moved that the City Manager's recommenda- tion be approved and money for a work order in the amount of $4,702.50 be authorized. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Manager reported relative to the water main extension on North Betty Lane that the subdivision developers will finance the entire line from the City mains through the subdivision. This will be handled on the City's usual ITiain extension agreement whereby a refund of $75.00 is made for each new tap. Commissioner Lynn moved that the water Inain on North Betty Lane be installed at the developers' expense. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously.

CITY COMMISSION r~ETING February IS, 1952 Clearwater, Fla. January 2S, 1952 Zoning Board Dear Sirs: You have a letter I wrote before. I have a hardship case. When I bought this house at 1611 Sunset Drive, it was with the intention to convert it into two apartments but the water leaked in so badly I had to spend about one thousand dollsrs to make it water tight. The leaks had to be stopped first, or the kitchen would have been installed. Then, also I did not know anythin~ about your zoning rules. I have been planning this house to help me out in my older days. I must sell the house if I cannot derive some income out of it to help me nlon~.

OA:ja ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------~-- February 9, 1952 The Honorable City Commission Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: It has been a distinct honor for me to have served the City of Clearwater as Municipal Judge, however, in view of the nature of Judicial office, and in order to preserve the hi;.~h degree of dirr,nity attendant the administration of justice in our Courts, the Code of Ethics to which we of the legal profession have subscribed con- tains the following provision re~~rding judges, by which my action is governed: "While holding a Judicial position he should not become an active candidate either at a party primary or at a ~eneral election for any office other than a judi- cialoffice." As you are already aW3re, I have announced my candidacy for the office of State Representative from Group III, subject to the Democratic primary election. In preparing to embark upon an active political calnpaign, I do now tender to you herewith my resignation from th~ off~ce of Munjcipal Judge, effective immediately upon the appoint- ment and qualification of my successor. Sincerely, kjm /s/ William J. Castagna Clearwater Florida February 15, 1952 The Honorable Mayor and City Commission City of Clearwater Florida Gentlemen: During my several visits to the City of Clearwater as a member of the "Fighting Phillies" baseball team, I have noticed the progress you have made along the water front, especially the Clearwater M8rina facilities that you have, and wish to compliment you. I understand that you are goin~ to open bids for the construction of the main building in the very near future, and in considering this fact, it seems to me that there is also a crying need for additional facilities over there that will not be offered in the new Marina Building. Specifically I have reference to a buildin~ that will serve the needs of the sports fisherman, regarding both live and fresh bait, and the care of the sportsmen's fish after they have been taken. I believe that the area facilities should also include a quick-freeze plant so that the fisherman's fish can be cleaned and frozen, stored, and/or shipped, as his needs may require. Many of our sports fishermen would like to have their choice catches mounted. My present plans would include connections with some of the best taxidermy houses in Florida. I also feel that the sportsman should have at his disposal, out-board motors, and row-boats for rent. To house these facilities, I propose to the City of Clearwater to construct a building on the Marina property between the west bridge and the Shell Oil property, witp dimensions to be mutually agreed upon between myself and the City of Clearwater. Length of said building to ,be approximately 100 ft. and depth to be determined according to what the best usage of the property would permit. 1 also feel that a salesroom for one of the major boat companies should be poused herein. In connection with the outside facilities, it is my understanding that the City of Clearwater intends to build a small boat launching ramp near this area. Adequate space would be left for this facility, and if at any titne the City or myself feel that a hoist should also be added, this could be done as the need would require. r feel that this idea fits in with the overall picture of the Marina, as it would take the smelly operation of cleaning and processing the fish out of the main building, which is a desirabl~ solution to what could be one of your major problems. I would like to meet with the City COlnmission or their representatives at a very early date to work out lease provisions and rental rates. I feel sure that we can work out these terms in a manner suitable to both the City and myself. I think you will agree with me that it will take a 10 or 15 year lease, with perhaps a renewal. clause in it for me to safely amortize my investment. I have noted with keen interest the results of the City's Architect, Walter Mallorie and Associates, and feel that anyone building a building on city property adjacent to the Marina, should use the same architect as has been employed by the City, and I will state at this time that I would gladly consent to do so. I would like to have this matter brought to a head as quickly as possible due to the fact that building restrictions are subject to change from time to ti.me, and costs appear to be rising rather than decreasing. As you mayor may not know, I (Continued next page) ~l....__. ~. ~f~~~': ,:lX:Mi(. r~\~~~:;r I ....,\y.. .,'.',"", ,\<>\.,\' ", ~',' , I....':.';:.. i . . ,. rl:\<', , "" n \ ' l... '.' !.

Clearwater has always seemed like a second home to loe, and I intend to retire here some day, and feel that this would be a good investment for such a purpose. Cordially yours, /s/ Granville W. Hamner !, , , ' t' ,\ I ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ;.. ~ . Honorable lllayor and Board of City COJllmis~>ioners In regard to the present plans far the new Clearwater Marina, on Clearwater Beach, I respectfully submit the following proposals for the prompt and I trust the favorable consideration by your honorable board. I. To immediately construct a separate building on the Clearwater Marina property directly to the east of the Shell Oil Company's present ~asoline station. This property would front on Causeway Blvd. and on the \'Jater, and including the small boat basin. This lot is the same property 3S the property now bein~ planned for use by the city as a launchin.~ ramp for the small boat facilities of the Marina. 2. The cost of the building, which will be approximately 30' x 100', and ~Ghe equipment, would be approximately ,~35, 000. 00. The desi~n and architectural scheme would conform with all present existing buildings and planned buildings. Actual plans to be prepared by the present City Architects, "Walter Mallorie & Assoc.", and final plans to be submitted to the City Commission for their recommendation and approval. 3. Building will serve all boat, fish, and bait needs of the fishing public in connection with the new marina. Plans call for providin~ within this one building a fish market and brokage of fish to northern points, bait facilities, cleaning of fish, deep freeze facilities for storage, freezin~ and smoking of fish, repair of all types of outboa.rd motors, fishinr:; tackle and reels etc., v-r.Lth inside storage provided for small boats and motors. 4-. In connection with the small boats to be rented would be constructed at my expense a large hoist to lower and raise these boats from the water. These facilities would be used to put the small bo~ts bein~ rented into the water and these same facilities would also be made available at my expense, free to any and all persons driving to the ~Iarina with their own boats, for the purpose of boating or fishing. This hoist \'{ould be constructed ;.tt my ex['ense snd v;ould eliminate the construction of the planned ramp by the City and would provide better service than such a ramp. It has been the experien~c of the boating and fishing public that any ramp takes up valuable space and can only accomodate a few cars and boats. Most ramps are also so constructed that not all cars and boats can use them satisfactorily. Therefore, additional and better service would be provided with this planned hoist, with 'a com- petent operator avail~ble to take care of this free service. 5. For the privilege of constructin~ the above, I would like a ten year lease with a renewal option, at a fair monthly rental, the amount to be established by the City and myself. Also an additional protection of Iny investment in the event this area would be needed at a later date by the City for "muncipal purposes" or in the event that my lease should be terminated. 6. My previous experience has been as a tool and die manufacturer, restaurant operator, manager of a wholesale fish market in Detroit, and at present I own and operate the Koli-Bree Apartments on Clearwater Beach. I have lived in Clearwater since 1949 and this will continue t.o be my home and where I will continue to invest my money because of the wonderful co~nunity which we have and the even greater community which Clearwater will become. 7. I invite your investigation as to my character, business and financial background, and would appreciate the opportunity of appearing before your honorable board personally to discuss the above proposal and answer any questions which you may have. 8. In conclusion I would like to re-emphasize the desirability of having this increased investment on your Marina property and the even ~reater desirability of having the noise of outboard motor repairing and the mess and odor of' freshly caught and cleaned fish away and separated from the main Marina Building, so that the public is better served. Since time is most important I would appreciate your kind and prompt attention to this matter. January )0, 1952 " " , ':- , " ,.t.,' Respectfully yours, /s/ Frank H.

Tliis ° propert.y would fron�G on Causeway Blvd. and on the water, and including the sma11 boat basin. This lot is the same property as the groperty now bei�g plannacl for use by �he city as a launching ramp for the small boat facilities of 'the Maxxna. , 2, The cost of the building, which �-vill be approximately 30' x�00', and the ' equipm�nt, would be agproximately �35,,'000.00. The design and architectural scheme would con�orm with a11 present existing buildings and plarned buildings. Actual _ , plans to be prepared by t'he present City Architects, "�+ialter �'Iallorie & Assoc. t�, aild ' �inal plans to be submittad to the City Commission for their recommendation and apProval. : 3. Building will serve a11 boat, fish, and bait �eeds of the �'ishing public in connection with the new marina, Plans call ior providing within this one buildir_g a , fish market and brokage of sish to northern points, bait faciLties, cleaning of fish, ' deEp freez� facilities for storage, freezing and sm�king of fish, repair of all types of autboard motors, iishinp tackle and reels etc., with inside storage provided for sm�ll boats and motors. 1�. In connection with tne small boats to be rented would be constructea at my expense a large hoist to lower anfl raise these boats irom the water. These facilities would be used to put the sm311 boats �eing rented into the water and these :same facilities vrouid also be made available at my expense, free to any and all persons driving to the ?larina with their owr, boats, for the pur�ase of boating or fishing:. This hoist tauuld be constructed �t my expense and w�uld eliminate the construc�io.n of the plar�ned ramp by the City and v�ould provide better service than such a rarnp. It has been the experiencs of the boating �.nd fishing public that any ramp takes up valuable space and can only accomodate a few cars and boats. Most ramPs are also so - constructed that not all cars and boats can use tY:em satisFac,torily. Therefore, additional and bette� service would be provided with this planned hoist, �vith a com- getent operator available to take care of t17is free service. 5. For ths privilege of constructing the ab�ve, I would like a ten year lease with a renewdl option, at a fair monthly rental, the aniount to be established bg the < City and myself, Also an additional protection of my investment in the event this ' _ area u�ould be needed at a later date by the CitV for �'muncipal �urposes�t or in the event that my lease should be terminate�. 6. �y previous experience has been as a tool and clie manufacturer restaurant ' operator, manager of'a wholesale fish marke� in Detroit, and at present�2 own and _ operate the Koli-Bree �5.partments on Clearwater Beach. I have liued in Clearwater ' slnce 19�9 and this will continue to be my nom� and where I will continue to invest my money because of the wonderful cornmunity which we have and the even greater community which Clearwater will become. ' 7. I invite your investi�ation as to my character, business and financial background, and would appreciate the npportunity of appearing before your honorable board personally to discuss the above proposal and answer any questions which you may have, $. In conclusion I would like to re-emphasize the desirability of having this increased investment on your Marina property and the even �reater desirability of. having the noise of outboard motor repairing and the mess and odor of•freshly raught and cleaned fish ai,�ay and separated from the main Mari�a Building, so that the public ' is better served. 5ince time is most important I would appreciate your kind and prompt attention to this matter.
