In opening the Public Hearin~ on the storm sewer on L~ura Street from Myrtle
Avenue to Frospect Avenue, the s::tni tary sel'ler and pavi n,~ on Laura Street f'rom
Myrtle Avenue to Booth Avenue, the Clerk read a letter ~rom Mr. Guy Kennedy and
1,1r. Roy Strickland in which they objected t.o the sanitary sewer being inc luded in
the project if it was to be assessed against their property. The estimate for the
total project was $11,133.81, minus the sanitary sewer cost of $2,504.15, plus
approximately $1,700.00 for the paving of Prospect Avenue would give a total of'
less than ~11,000.00 for the entire project. During the discussion by the
Co~nission, it was brought out that there was no urgent need for a sanitary sewer
in that area at the present time. Commissioner Grown moved that the project with
the exception of the part pertainin~ to the sanitary sewer be approved, that the
proper City officials be authorized to advertise for bids to effect the completion
of the project which would include the storm sewers and paving in Laura Street,
said pavement to be forty feet in width, and to include the paving of' Prospect
Avenue from Cleveland Street north to Laura Street. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously.
(
The Mayor announced the Public Hearing on the proposed sanitary sewer project
for Court Street Extension from Hillcrest Drive to Lady Mary Drive, total cost of'
which was estimated at ~6,572.50. Mr. C. E. Koch addressed the Commission, stating
he was opposed to payin8 his estimated share of $4-,900.00 as that was approximately
the amount he paid for the tract, that his land was all undeveloped acreage and
would not be benefited by a sanitary sewer at this time. !-1r. Frank Muscarella, Jr.,
addressed the Commission reporting that it was planned to open the new St. Cecelia
Catholic School in September, and since septic tanks were not approved by the County
Health Department, it was imperative that some other provision be made for that area.
It was suggested by the Cornnission that the improvement contemplated by the County's
secondary road system would ~reatly enhance the value of Mr. Koch's land and all
properties in that Vicinity. Commissioner Blanton moved that the Commission proceed
to authorize the improvement and that the Engineer be instructed to advertise for
bids to be opened at the second meeting in May. Motion was seconded by Mr. Crown
and carried unanimously.
Mr. Ralph Richards addressed the Commission relative to the construction of a
swimming pool for negroes, stating that arproximately $15,000.00 in funds were
available for such construction and that he had submitted to the City Attorney a
Resolution which he hoped the Commission would adopt. The Resolution was read by
the City Attorney. During the discussion, Mr. Richards stated that he would agree
to raise sufficient money to brin~ the total to $20,000.00, exclusive of any funds
which may be obtained from the Florida Power Corporation refunds. Commissioner
Blanton moved that the Commission ~o on record as favoring the building of the
Negro Swi~ning Pool in 1953, in conjunction with the construction of the negro high
school and a Committee be appointed to work with the Engineer, the City Attorney
and Mr. Richards to work out details and make recommendations and report to the
Commission at the next regular meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Cro~m
and carried unanimously.
The Mayor appointed Commissioners Crown and Russell to serve on the Committee
for the Negro Swimming Pool.
In regard to the sign application of Daniels Signs, Inc., on behalf of Sunbeam
Bakery, the Committee reported that they were in favor of permitting the sign on
the southwest corner of U.S. 19 and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. Commissioner Crown
moved that the City Manager be authorized to work out whatever, details are necessary
to authorize the,erection of the sign in accordance with the layout submitted.
.Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously.

The City Manager asked the Commission's consideration of some regulation for
the size of gasoline storage tanks to be perrnitted by the City. Commissioner
Russell remarked that there were a number of reasons for this regulation, the
matter of public safety, and the fact that the use of lArge tanks permitted whole-
sale distributors to conduct what is in effect an oil distributing business without
the payment of City license. He stated that the Chief of the Fire Department favored
limiting the size of storage tanks to 1,000 gallons for each pump, these tanks to be
checked by the Building Inspector prior to their being covered. Commissioner
Blanton moved that the matter be referred to a Committee to work with Mr. Treola,
the Fire Chief, and the City Attorney and a report be brought back with a proper
ordinance to submit to the Commission at the next regular meeting. Motion was
seconded by Corrunissioner Crown and carried unanimously.

The Mayor appointed Commissioners Russell and Blanton to serve on the Committee
to conf~r with the City Attorney and the City En~ineer regarding the gasoline
storage tanks.
Commissioner Blanton stated that under existing laws the City Commission has
no control over the erection of filling stations in certain areas, however, they
could be controlled by Zoning Laws and he felt this matter should be studied for
inclusion in the next Zoning Referendum.
By consent of the Commission, the consideration of a tentative plat for
Bayside Subdivision #3 was deferred.
The City Manager requested the Commission's approval of an appropriation to
cover the cost of the painting and remodeling which has been done in the basement
of the City Hall, estimated cost $500.00. Commissioner Crown moved that the money
for the project be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Blanton and carried
unanimously.

The Clerk read a letter from the Clearwater Beach Association regarding con-
vertin~ the Water Tank Park area on Clearwater Beach into a playground for young
children. Mrs. Clifford McKay addressed the Commission representing the Clearwater
Beach Association. Commissioner Bl~nton sug~ested moving the curb back on the south
and west sides of the park for additional parking. Commissioner Crown moved that
the City Manager be instructed to study the problem and prepare an estimate of the
cost and report to the Commission as soon as possible. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
Mr. L. L. Crook, Superintendent of the Clearwater Transit Company, addressed
the Commission and requested one additional bus stop space at Cleveland and Fort
Harrison t;o accoInlliodat e the buses to be used in the new East Clearwater bus service.
Commissioner Crown moved that the City IvIanager be authorized to consult with the
Merchants Association and, with their concurrence authorize this additional space.
I~otion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Commissioner
Blanton sU0~ested that the City En~ineer study the situation to see if the curb can
be set back about a foot at this downtown bus stop.
The Mayor stated that he had a request from the Clearwater Exchange Club for
permission to erect a sir,n advertising the Fishin~ Tournament at the northwest
corner of Poinsettia and Causeway Boulevard. Commissioner ~rown moved that the
City MAnager be authorized to determine which space would be to the best interest
and authorize the sign and also to permit the placing of a banner across the street
if so desired. Motion was seconded by COlnmissioner Blanton and carried unanimously.
By consent of the COillmission, the matter of the lease of the small boat marina
to Mr. Granville Hamner was deferred and the Mayor sug~ested that the Commission

Commissioner Russell su~gestecl that Section J of Ordinance 592 be amended to
read "shall not be permitted on City (public) property within the City of Clearwater".
The Mayor suggested that the City Attorney draw an amendment to Ordinance 592 as
outlined.
The offer of ~tt. O. W. Clayton to settle taxes on Lot 13, Carolina Terrace
Annex, for the sum of $200.00 was referred to the Tax Settlement Committee by con-
sent of the Commission.
'-
The City Manager requested an appropriation to cover the cost or'clearing the
Ewing Avenue right-of-way from Court Street to Park Street. After discussion by the
Commission, Commissioner B11nton moved that the City Manager and the City Engineer
be authorized to clear a 30 foot right-of-way for Ewin~ Avenue from Court Street to
Park Street, the cost not to exceed an expenditure of ~600.00. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
By consent of the Commission, the item of utility improvements was deferred.
The City Manager presented a Lot Cleaning Resolution which included eleven
requests for lot Cleaning. Commissioner Crown moved that the Resolution be adopted.

The City Attorney requested instructions as to whether he should draft a
Resolution to vacate the unused part of Pierce Street extending west from the exist-
ing curve to the waterfront which section is proposed as a part of the new water-
front developmen~ in front of the Mupicipal Auditorium. It was his opinion that it
would save the CJ.ty the expense of acquiring the property from the Internal Improve-
ment Board. The members of the Commission were o~ the opinion that the City could
get a quit-claim deed to the submerged land without incurring any expense. By consent,
the matter was deferred to the next meeting until the Committee could report on it. '

Commissioner Crown inquired as to what had been done concerning the offers to
purchase City-owned land submitted by Mr. D. E. Lame and the R. J. Clark Equipment
Company. He stated that if the City did not want to sell the land he thought that
the parties should be informed to that effect. By consent the matter was deferred
to be discussed at the Thursday noon meeting.

City Attorney replied that the Telephone Company would like early action on the
matter as they had placed a tentative order for equipment for an exchange in the

deferred by consent to a meeting to be scheduled Friday noon, April 25th.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING

In arrivin~ at your decision on the proposed improvements we ask you to review
the terms of a contract entered into with the undersigned by the City of Clearwater,
June 29, 1951, in consideration of which the City acquired frora us a deed to a 50
foot rieht of way across BLOCK 4, SARAH McMULLEN'S SUBDIVISION and also a co-terminus
50 feet right of way across an 80 foot strip of land fronting on the east side of
Myrtle Avenue. The improvements mutually agreed to in this right of way contract
were stipulated as follows;
1. "Extend, grade and permanently pave Laura Street eastward from Myrtle
Avenue to its intersection with Prospect Avenue and place storm sewer
thereunder to effect drainage from its intersection with Prospect Avenue
to its intersection with Myrtle Avenue, said Laura Street to have a
right-of-way width of fifty (50) feet and a paved width of forty (40)
feet including curbs."
2. "Grade, supplement base and hard surface Prospect Avenue from its inter-
section with Laura Street to its intersection with Cleveland Street."

Your Eneineer informs us the 30 feet paving specified in your notice is a
typographical error and that the intention is to instal a 40 foot pavement and with
that understanding that difference can be passed over without further comment.
The proposed improvements stipulated in the right-of-way contract did not
include any sanitary sewer installation as it was not anticipated at that time
there would be any need for it in the near future. Had the City at that time indi-
cated any intention or desire to instal a sanitary sewer along Laura Street we
should certainly have insisted on bein~ pr~cted from any assessment for the cost
of such installation just as we did on the paving, curbing and storm sewer.
1
I
We offer no objection to a sanitary sewer bein~ included in your proposed im-
provements if put in without assessment against the property abutting the right of
way deeded to the City by us, if put in on the same basis as the storm sewer and
other improvement specified in the right-of-way contract.
On the other hand we object strenuously to having a sanitary sewer assessment
(which your Engineer estimates at $2000.00) placed against our property fronting on
Laura Street when such a sanitary sewer installation will not, at this time, serve
or benefit a single user on either side of Laura Street for the 360 foot frontage
which we own nor even I;Yl the additional 210 foot extension beyond our frontage
eastward toward Booth Avenue.
The improvement to the Prospect Avenue surface described in the right-of-way
contract should also be included in the prtsently contemplated improvements as this
is a closely related, integral part of the local area improvements. Just as soon
as Laura Street is paved and opened to travel there will be a tremendous upsurge of
travel on this block of Prospect Avenue and the temporary surfacing now in plaCe
will break down completely and develop into a traffic hazard.
We respectfully submit the fore~oing for your thoughtful analysis and consid-
eration in arriving at your decision,
Yours very truly,
/s/ G. L. Kennedy
/s/ Roy E. Strickland

Dear Sir:
1st April 52
At the last meeting of this Association Mrs. Clifford McKay reported that she
had received encouragement from you en re converting the Water Tank park into a
playground.
A resolution was adopted following that report requesting the City authorities
to set aside this park area as a play~round for young children. To such end it be
provided with a suitable enclosure, and provisions made for preventing its use for
unauthorized purposes such as picnicking.
Two purposes were considered in this request: First, to establish a playground
which is badly needed for the younger children; secondly, to prevent the park being
used by week-end out of town picnickers who habitually cause a great deal of unsight-
ly litter in this area.
In this resolution was a request that the west border of the area be provided
with a wall similar to the wall recently erected on the South end of the beach.
This to act as a barrier to sand blowing on the playground.
Mrs. Clifford McKay was named a committee of one to consult with you and other
City officials looking towards working out details and a satisfactory plan. If you
have an alternative plan we would appreciate an outline of such a plan.
Yours very truly,
/s/ John Bates
. President, Clearwater Beach Association

Some few months ago, we had some correspondence with your Tax-Collecting
Department relating to the City taxes and other Municipal liens against the lot
above described, at which time, your Mr. H. G. Wingo suggested that we submit an
offer of compromise settlement on such liens;
So, we are enclosing check in the sum of $200. which we offer you in full
settlement of all taxes to and including~, and all other Municipal liens to date;
that is, we will pay the 1950 & 1951 City taxes along with the County taxes of these
years, and in addition to the $200. check.
In view of other tax liens (County & old State taxes) we feel that this is all
that we can afford to pay for this adjustment, and would thank you to let us know
as soon as practicable, and oblige,
Very truly yours,

Esplanade i'rom Verbena Strset to approximai;ely 2L�O feet north of Gardenia Avenue
and stated that the total estimated cost was �5,593.50. The Clerk read a teleo am
from Mr. Samuel Goldstein, owner oi Lot 3, Block �2, P+Iandalay Subdivision, objectino
�o th2 project. Commissioner Blanton moved that since there apgeared to be no valid
ebjections as to why the improvements should r.ot be made, that the improvements be
authorized and that the En;ir.eer be authorized to advertise for bids to be apened
at the second regular meeting in I+iay. Motion was seconded by Qc,mmissioner Crown
and carried unanimously.
In openin� the Public Hearin� or_ the storm sewer on Laura Street from i�7yrtle

i��yrtle Avenue to Booth Avenue, the Clerk read a letter from i�"�r. Guy K�nnedy and
P�ir. Roy Strickland in which the}T objected to the sanitary sewer being included in
the project if it was to be assessed acainst their property. The estimate for the
total project was �11y133.$l, minus the sanitary sewer cost oi �2,5�4.15, plus
approximately 5p1,�00.Q0 for the paving of Frospect Avenue would give a total of
less than :�11,000.00 for the entire project. During the discussion by the
Dommission, it was brought out that there was no urgent need for a sanit-ary sewer
in t�at area at the present time. Commissioner �rown moved that the project with
the exception of the part pertaining to the sanitary sewer be approved, that the
proper City officials be authorized to advertise for bids �o effect the completion
of ths project which would include the storm sevrers and pa�ring in Laura Street,
said pavement to be fortp �eet in width, and to include the paving of Prospect
A�enue from Gleveland Street north to Laura Street. Motion was seconded by

for Court Street Extension from Hillcrest Drive to Lady b'Iary Drive, total cost of
which was estimated at N6,572.5�. Mr. C, E. Koch addressed the C�mmission, stating
he was opposed to payin� his estimated share of �1�.,900.G0 as that was approximately
the amount he paid for the tract, that hi.s land was all undeveloped acreage and
would not be benefited by a san�:tary sewer at this time, Mr. Frank Muscarella, Jr,,
addressed the Commission repor�in� that it was planned to open the new St. Cecelia
Catholic School in 5eptember, and since septic tanks were not approved by the County
Health Department, it was imperative that some other provision be made for that area.
It was sug�ested b}r the Gommission that the improvement eontemplated by the Gounty's
secondary road system would greatly enhance the vaiue of Nir. Koch's land and a11
properties in that vicinity. Commissioner Slanton moved that th� Commission proceed
to authorize the improvement �nd that the En�ineer be instructed to advertise for
bids to be opened at the second meeting in Nlay. Tfotion was seconded hy Ntr. Crown
and c�3rried unanimously.
Mr. Ralph Richards addrassed the Commission relative to the construc�ion of a
swimming pool for negroes, sta•ting that apgroximately �15,000.00 in funds were
available for such construction and that he had submitted to the City Attorney a

the City Attorney. During the discussion, Mr. Richards stated that he would agree
to raise sufficient money to brin; the total to �20,000.00, exclusive of any funds
which may 'oe obtained from the Florida Power Corpora.tien refunds. Commissioner

Negro Swiiruning Pool in 1953, in conjunction with the construction of the negro high

CITY COr�IMISSION' I�ZFETING
April 21., 1952
The City Nlanager asked the Commission�s consideration of some re�ulation for
the size of gasoline storage tanks to be permitted by the City. Commissioner
Russell remarked that tnere were a number of reasons for this regulation, the
mattex o� public safety, and the fact that tha use of large tanks permitted whole-
sale distributors to conduct what is in effect an oil distributing business without
the payment of City license. He stated that the Chief of the Fire Department favored
limitin� the size of storage tanks to 1,000 gallons for eacli pump, these tanks to be
checked by the Building Inspector prior to their being covered. Commissioner
Blanton moved that the matter be referred to a Committee to work with M.r. Treola}

Cornmissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
T�Ir. L. L. Crook, Superintendent of the Clearwater Transit Company, addressed
the Gommission and requested one additional bus stop space a� Cleveland and Fort
Harrison Lo accommodate the buse� to be used in the new East Clearwater bus se�viae.
Commissioner Crawn movad that the City Nianager be authorized to consult with the
Nerehants Association and, with their concurrence authorize this additional space.

B1anLon su»ested that the City Enaineer- study the situation to see if the curb can
be set back about a foot at this dotantovm bus stop.
The riayor stated that he had a request from the C�earwater Excha.nge Club for
permission to erect a sign advertising the FishinP Tournament at the northwest
corner of Foinsettia and (7auseway Boulevard. Commissioner �rown move� that the
City Manager be authorized to determine which space woulcl be to the best interest
and authorizs the sign and also to permit the placing of a banner across the street
if so desired. Motzon was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously.
By consent of the Conunission, the matter of the lease oi the small boat marina
ta h:r. C,ranville Hamner was deferred and the i��ayor suggested that the Commission

to Mr. hamner.
Commis�ioner Russell sug�ested that Section 3 of Ordinance 592 be amended to
read "shall no� be permit�,ed on City (public) property within the City of Clearwater".

nutlined.

Bayside Subdivision �3 was deferred.
The City T�ianager requested the Commission's approval of an appropriation to

for the project be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Blanton and carried
unanimously.
The City ��tanager reo,uested an appropriation to cover the cost of ��clearing the

Resolution to vacate the unused part of Pierce Street e:ctending west from the exist-
ing curve to the w�terfront which section is proposed as a part of the new water-
front development in front of the Municipal Auditorium. Tt was hi:s opinion that it
would save the City the expenss of acquiring the property from the Internal Improve-
ment Board. The members of the Commission were of the opinion that the City> could

CITY C��IISSION TJIEETING
Apri1 21, 1952
(Continued)
In arriving at your decision on the proposed improvements we ask you to review
�he terms oF a contract entered into �Nith the ur_dersigned by the City of Clearwater,
June 2g, 1951, in considsration of which the City acquired from us a deed to a 5(�
foot right of way across BLOCK la., SARAH McMULLEN�S SUBDIVISION and also a co-terminus
50 .feet right of way across an $O foot strip af land fronting on the east side of
Myrtle Avenue. The improvements mutually agreed to in this ri,ht of way contract
were stipulated as follows;
l. «Extend, grade and permanently pave I,aura Street eastward from Myrtle
Avenue to its intersection wi�h Prospect Avenue and place storm sevrer
thereunder to effect drainage from its intersection with Prospect Avenue
to its intersection with i4yrtle Avenue, said Laura Street to have a
right-of-way width of��fifty (50) feet and a paved width of fort� (�.0)
feet including curbs.
'• "Grade, suppleraent base and Y,ard surface Prospect Avenue from its inter-
section with Laura Street to its intersection with Cleveland Street.tt
Your Engineer informs us the 30 feet paving specified in your notice is a
typographical error and that the intention is to instal a L�0 foot pavement and with
that understanding that differencc can be passed over w�:thout further comment.
The proposed improvements stipulated in the right-o�-way contract did not
inelude any sanitary sewer installation as it was not anticipated at that time
there wouid be any need for it in the near future. Had the City at that time indi-
cated any intention or desire to instal a sanitary sewer along I�aura Street we
should certainlp have insisted on bein� pro�cted from anp assessment for the cost
ci such installation just as we did on the paving, curbing and storm sewer.
We of�'er no objection to a sanitary sewer bein� included in your pxoposed im-
provements if put in without assessr.ient against the groperty abutting the right o.f
way deeded to the City by us, if put in on the same basis as the storm sewer and
other impr�ovement specified in the right-of-vray contract.
On the other hand we object strenuously to having a sanitary sewer assessment
{which your Engineer estimates at $�2000e00) placed against our property fronting or,
Laura Street when such a sanitary sewer installation will nof, at this �ime, serve
or benefit a single user on eithar side of Laura 5treet ior the 360 foot frontage
x�ich we own nor even on the addi�ional 210 foot extension beyond our frontags
eastward toward 3ooth Avenue.
The improvement to the Prospect A�ranue surfaca described in the right-o�-way
contract should also be included in tne presently contempl�ted improvements as this
is a closely related, integral part of the local ar�a improvements. Just as soon
a� I,aura Street is paved and opened to travEl there will be a tremendous upsurge of
travel on this block of Prospect Avenue and the temporary surfacing now in place
will break down completely and develop into a traffic hazard.
tiQe respectfully submit the fore�oing for your thought�'ul analysis and consid-
eration in arriving at your decision,
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir;
lst April 52
At the last meeting of this Association Mrs. Clifford i�IcKay reported that she
had received encouragement frora you en re converti�g the Water Tank park into a
play�round.
A resolutian was adopted following that report requesting the City authorities
to set aside this park area as a,r1Gv�round for young children. To such end it be
provided with a suitable enclosure, and grovisions made for preventing its use for
unautherized purposes such as picnickin�.
Two purposes were considered in this reo,uest: First, to establish a playground
which is badly needed for the younger children; seconcily, to prevent t;�e park being
usel by week-end out of town picnickers who habitually cause a great deal of unsight-
ly litter in this area.
In this resolution was a request that the west border of the area be provided
with a wall similar to the wall recently erected on the South end of the beach.
This to act as a barrier to sand blowinb on the playground.
Mrs. Clifford NcKay was named a committae of one to consul;t with you and other
City officials looking towards workin� out details and a sati��actory plan. If you
have an alternative plan we would appreciate an o;ztline uf such a plan.
Yours very truly,
