' CITY COMMISSION MEETING November 3, 1952 The City Commission of the City of Clearwater met in regular session at City Hall, Monday, November J, 1952, at 1:30 P.M. with the following members present: Herbert M. Brown Wm. E. Crown, Jr. Herbert M. Blanton Jack Russell Mayor-Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner II .. II i Absent: Garland D. Lynn Also present were: Commissioner F. C. Middleton Chas. M. Phillips, Jr. G. T. McClamma Sidney Lickton City Manager City Attorney Chief of Police City Engineer The Mayor called the meeting to order. Commissioner Crown moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of October 20th be approved in accordance with the copies furnished each member in writin~ and their reading be dispensed with. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the curbing and resurfacing of Jupiter Avenue in Skycrest ~rom Drew Street to Rainbow Street. The City Engineer estimated the approximate cost at $2.00 per rront foot for the curb and the resurfacing and grading where needed. Some of the residents living on Jupiter from Cleveland to Drew Street objected to the type of curb proposed and objected to paying propor- tionately for the grading which would be done between Cleveland and Rainbow. The City Clerk read a petition signed by twenty property owners on Jupiter which was not in ~avor o~ the proposed improvements. The City Manager explained that the flat curb was recommended because it is already being used in other parts or Skycrest and suggested that another meeting be scheduled to see if the group could reach some agreement. The Mayor sug~ested adjourning the hearing to the next Commission meeting on November 17th. Commissioner Crown moved that this Public Hearing be adjourned to the next regular Commission meeting in order to enable the City Manager and the City Engineer to work out an ag~ement on these factors that appear in dispute. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell. Commissioners Crown, Russell and Brown voted "Aye", Commissioner Blanton being temporarily absent and not voting. Motion carried. The City Attorney submitted for the Commission's consideration a Resolution which would reduce the assessment of Florida Acres incurred for the 10 inch sanitary sewer on Court Street E~tension between Hillcrest Avenue and Lady Mary Drive from $4,7g9.56 to $2,500.00, Florida Acres, Inc., having contended at the time of the Public Hearing on April 21, 1952, that the original assessment was inequitable due to the fact that the land against which the assessment was levied was undeveloped. Commissioner Crown moved that the Resolution be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously. i i I \ I ! (' " , ',\;,;;~' , "S ,~'. ,~'~\" The City Attorney presented the proposed 25 year lease of City property adjacent to the new Marina Building to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hendrick for the purpose of constructing a building at a cost of not less than $20,000.00. The lessees propose to operate this building and the boat slips south of the property as a Small Boat Marina, the building to contain a live and ~rozen bait business, retail and wholesale ~ish business, a place for ~reezing game fish, motor sales, boat sales, etc; the amount o~ the rental paid to the City to be $laO.OO per month for the first twenty years and $200.00 per month for the last five years, $400.00 in advance deposit for faithful performance to be credited to prepayment of rental. Several changes were suggested by members of the Commission which were noted by the City Attorney for inclusion in the lease. Commissioner Crown moved that the lease as amended be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Relative to the request of Mrs. E. W. Steimer that Grand Central Street be opened through to Greenwood Avenue, the City Attorney reported that the City has no right-of-way and what would be the right-of-way is obstructed by an old building which he understood had been condemned, that i~ the project were to go through, it would be necessary to condemn or purchase the land necessary for the right-of-way. Commissioner Crown stated that if the improvement is to be made it should be done only on the basis of assessing the abutting properties for the cost of the project. Commissioner Blanton thought the matter should be referred to the property owners to find out if they will agree to an assessment on it. The Mayor suggested that the City Attorney check on whether or not the building is condemned, what usage is being made of it, etc., and report back to the Commission. Commissioner Crown stated he did not see any necessity ~or a further report unless the property owners agree to it on an assessment basis. The Mayor suggested that the City Manager inquire of the a~fected property owners to see i~ an agreement can be worked out. The City Attorney submitted a Resolution the purpose o~ which is to certify to the State Road Department that the City has acquired title to the parcels necessary for the right-of-way within the City of Clearwater for Missouri Avenue less and except those properties on which the County is to take condemnation pro- ceedings. The City Attorney called attention to the fact that the City has not yet secured title to one piece of the property but that the City would probably secure title within the next rew days. Commissioner Crown moved that the Resolution be approved subject to receipt of title on this last piece of property and that upon ~e'ceipt of that deed the proper officials are authorized to execute and deliver this Resolution. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and , carr1edunanimously. ~<.~ t'{ :. - u ....__ ri.....,~_._ , ....~.-._-, .. ,:, "~'j~~i~;~iZ~:f:~(j\:~.:.:., " ,.,.~,~,i i ~ ',~ , ~ ) , , , l..;-\, ,~..~~."'t , ......,. .f ! 1 I ; 1 i 1 ! l I I I . l 1 I j I j : "., I , 0 >1 iSJ'r!i;,'!y; .. -2- CITY COMMISSION MEETING November 3, 1952 The City Attorney reported that he had received a sworn statement from Mr. Hungerford and Mr. Moore, developers of Palm Terrace Unit #2, that the property owners wished to come into the City. In view of that statement, the City Manager reported that permission was given to connect the sanitary sewer lines in the new subdivision to the City sewer lines. The City Attorney reported that he has prepared an Ordinance to present to the Commission concerning the annexation of Units 1 and 2 of Palm Terrace Subdivision which, when passed by the Commission, would require a referendum of the property owners residing in the territory who are qualified voters and all the City qualified electors. He stated there would have to be one polling place located in Palm Terrace Unit 1 or 2 and one inspector in each polling place who is a resident of Palm Terrace. According to the Ordinance, it would require a 2/3 affirmative vote in the referendum to pass. The City Attorney explained that there was an alternative for areas haVing less than ten registered voters which would require a hearing and a notice (this would apply to Palm Terrace Unit #2 as there are approximately four houses constructed in the area). He stated the only alternative for Palm Terrace Unit #1 would be to submit the matter to the Legislature in April and ask for a Special Act of the Legislature out that such an Act would probably also require a referendum. The City Attorney read Ordinance 626 in full. Commissioner Crown moved that the Ordinance7read be approved on its first reading. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that in October, 1936, an agreement was entered into by Mr. A. C. Nichols, City Mana~er, and Mr. John R. Jeffords whereby Mr. Jeffords agreed to allow the City to run a gas and water line through Sunset Court and across his property to serve Clearwater Beach and the City agreed to change his utility rate to lawn meter for all water consumed. He stated that recently due to a break in the gas line which services Clearwater Beach it became necessary to obtain permission from Mrs. E. Gale Jeffords to construct a temporary gas line across part of her property in order to restore service to the Beach. He submitted an agreement dra~n by Mrs. Jefford's attorney providing permission for temporary use of her property. The agreement provides that the City will remove and relocate the main as soon as practicable and the agreement provides further that the City will, at such time as the present water main passing through the Sunset Court area becomes inadequate or requires repair, relocate and remove the said water line from Sunset Court to City-owned property. Commissioner Blanton moved that the agreement with Mrs. Jeffords be approved and that the proper City officials be authorized to sign it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Commissioner Blanton moved that the City Manager investigate and determine whether or not Sunset Court is a public street or a private property and if it proves to be privately owned that steps be taken to see that it is placed on the tax roll. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. The City Attorney presented for the Commission's consideration a proposed agreement between the City of Clearwater and the State Armory Board as submitted by Colonel Cooper of the State National Guard, stating that the agreement if s:l.gned by the City and approved by the Federal Government, would release the Federal funds required to begin construction. Commissioner Crown moved that the agreement be approved and that the proper City officials be authorized to execute the same. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell. Commissioners Crown, Russell and Brown voted "Aye" and Commissioner Blanton voted "No". Motion carried. Regarding the matter of a salary raise for the City Prosecutor and the City Attorney, it was suggested that the City Attorney may have to be retained on a full-time basis. Mayor Brown suggested that a cost-of-living raise be studied for all City employees. The City Manager asked that the study be made as soon as possible. Commissioner Crown moved that the matter be referred to a Committee to look into the matter of a salary raise for the City Prosecutor and the City Attorney. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Mayor appointed the Commission as a whole to act as a Co~~ittee on this matter. The City Attorney submitted for the approval of the Commission a deed of correction to George R. Smoyer which would in effect return to Mr. Smoyer any land in Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 of William Brown's Bayview Subdivision south of a line running parallel to and 50 feet south of the center line of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. Commissioner Blanton moved that the proper officials be authorized to execute and deliver the deed of correction to r~. Smoyer. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Attorney reported that he had approached Mr. L. V. Chappell, the trust officer at First National Bank, to see if the bank would act as escrow agent in handling the deeds for a replat of Coachman Heights. Mr. Chappell reported that his fee schedule would include the cost of recording and other stabilized costs, plus a basic fee of $150.00, plus any attorney's fees that would be necessarily expended in drafting of the escrow agreement and any other attorney's fees that it would be necessary to expend, and if more time was required than estimated, that sufficient compensation would be charged according to itemized statements to be approved by the City Commission. Commissioner Crown moved that the Trust Department of the First National Bank be appointed as Escrow Agent for the purpose of replatting Coachman Heights and that the proper City officials be authorized to execute an agreement setting forth the terms. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously. A Resolution was read by the City Attorney assessing the cost of the storm sewer on Laura Street from Myrtle Avenue to Prospect Avenue against the benefited properties. Commissioner Crown moved that the Assessment Resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimOUSly.

Commissioner Blanton moved the adoption of the Resolution as read. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Clerk read a letter from Finch & Mosley, attorneys for Mr. J. H. Blackburn, requesting that~taxi cab permit now held by Carlton Williamson, negro taxi operator, be transferred to Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Loyd Mosley addressed the Commission on behalf of his client. Mr. Ben Krentzman, attorney for Mr. George Ware, pointed o~t that this would create a new ~mite taxi cab permit and would establish a precedent which would tend to add to the total number of white taxi permits. Commissioner Russell moved that the transfer of the taxi cab permit be denied. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously. Commissioner Blanton reported that there is a section of Greenwood Avenue between Park Street and Lakeview Street where the pavement has sunk down consider- ably lower than the curb and suggested that the street be resurfaced to make it level. By consent, it was agreed that the City Manager and the City Engineer be instructed to investigate and bring their recommendation back to the Commission. Regarding the widening of Pierce Street at the tip near the Auditorium, Commissioner Blanton reported that since earlier efforts of a Committee to secure the land from Mrs. A. D. Hartsel had been unsuccessful, he would recommend that the City Attorney be instructed to negotiate with the owner, and if a satisfactory settlement could not be reached, then the City should proceed to acquire the title by condemnation. Commissioner Blanton moved that the matter of acquiring the necessary land to take off the tip at Pierce Street be turned over to the City Attorney with instructions to try to negotiate with the owner for the property, and in the event that that is not successful, that the City ~o ahead with condemna- tion proceedings. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. The Mayor suggested that the City Attorney report back to the Commission with respect to instituting condemnation proceedings. The City Manager, reporting in regard to the Stevenson Creek improvement pro- ject, stated that he was of the opinion that Mr. Wm. Williams would re-submit his proposal as an original application but that he had not been able to contact Mr. Williams to get a statement from him. Mr. Frank Muscarella, Jr., acting as attorney ~or Mr. David Brown, requested the Commission to postpone the matter for another month at which time Mr. Brown would be in Clearwater and would also submit a proposal. The Clerk read a letter f~om Mr. Charles Vetter, a property owner in the area, complaining of conditions when the creek was at low tide, and asking the Commission to try to arrive at a solution to the problem. Commissioner Russell reported that he had contacted several people in Tampa regarding the possibility of the City's purchasing a new dredge and found that Mr. Reynolds of Tampa Marine Company offered a new dredge at $10,000.00 or one to rent at $125.00 per week. The City Manager pointed out that there are several projects under consideration where a dredge could be used: namely, the Stevenson Creek project, the Seminole Pier project, dredging out the west end of the new Marina, dredging out of the Marina, keeping the channel open, and the Youth Maritime Center project; in addition there are five street ends which need filling in and sea walls built. Commissioner Crown moved that the proper City officials be authorized to advertise and re-accept bids for the development of the Stevenson Creek area to be opened prior to the first meeting in December, and that in the meantime a Committee of Mr. Crown, Mr. Russell, the City Manager and the Mayor go to Tampa to investigate the purchase of a dredge. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanton and carried unanimously. Commissioner Blanton reported that in his opinion the holders of the Thomas Clearwater Beach Court lease were breaching their contract because they have failed to keep the buildings in good condition as provided in the lease. He also stated that the present lease provided for a rental of only $50.00 a month, that City taxes are waived by the City under the terms of the lease. The City Attorney reported that he had made an inspection of the property and that it is not in good condition. Commissioner Blanton moved that because of non-compliance with the terms of the lease regarding maintenance and repairs the Co~nission deems the lease to B. V. Thomas, B. H. Thomas and D. K. Thomas and their successors and assigns,and all rights thereunder to be for~eited and further that the City Attorney and other proper officials are hereby authorized and directed to take necessary action including action at law to give notice to declare the forfeiture of the lease and recover possession o~ the premises otherwise known as Lot 7, City Park Subdivision. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. Commissioner Blanton reported that the portion of Jones Street west of Osceola Avenue is in bad condition, washed out and grown up with weeds and that the property owners along the street would like to have the area terraced and some steps down and might be interested in contributing toward a pier at that street; if this is not possible, they would like the City to at least clean out the weeds. By consent, the City Manager was instructed to have the area cleaned up and the underbrush cut, etc. The Clerk read a letter from the Woman's Club of Clearwater requesting that they be given a twenty-five year extension on the lease they hold on City property at Seminole Street and Osceola. The letter stated that they would like to erect a larger building than there would be space for on the Seminole property and inquired if the City would grant a lease on all or a portion of Glenwood Park in the Hillcrest section. The City Manager reported that he had inspected the present building and that it is not large enough for the Club. It was the opinion of the Commissioners that the members of the Club should contact the Hillcrest Civic Association and the property owners in that area to see if they would be in favor of the plan. By consent, the City Attorney was instructed to check the title to the Glenwood Park property to see whether it would be possible to lease a portion of the park for this purpose. .~/:: . ," , ',' :~ ~ :J :1 '1 J j :j 'J ,'~ j '. , i ,:1 j !i "'!l,i ..

Mosley -----------------------------------------------------------------~-------------~-- October 28, 1952 "~ .~ ',' Mr. Francis Middleton Clearwater City Manager Clearwater Fla. Dear Sir: ':~ During the several days of rain and high winds that we had recently, we had abnormally low tides and as a result the stench from the Stevenson Creek mud flats was terrible. A large number of the property owners from all the areas adjacent to the creek have again talked the matter over to try and devise ways and means to get the City of Clearwater to do something about this awful mess. With these areas now so well populated it derinitely has be~ome a health menace. One of the first steps decided upon was to have an interview with Mayor Herbert M. Brown and try and ~ind out what the city intends to do about this. The writer called on Mayor Brown yesterday at his office and talked this entire matter over with him at length. It was upon his suggestion that I am writing this letter to urge you to have this matter put on the Agenda of the City Commission at the earliest moment possible for full discussion to try and arrive at a solution of this most trying problem. It is the definite opinion of the property owners that the small boat club proposal made recently and then withdrawn is not the answer. I feel sure that you are of the opinion that something should be done and done immediately to correct the conditions as they now exist. Thanking you in advance ~or your attention and cooperation, I am, lours very Truly /s/ Charles Vetter (1046 Nokomis St.) ',.,.,.~' -i; , ",~~ 'r i' · .'1 ~ ",~ ~::~ ~ ;~l .:, . .'~ ------------------------------._--------~--------------------------------------- Mr. Francis Middleton, City Mgr. Clearwater, Fla. October 25, 1952 Dear Mr. Middleton: As suggested by you in our conversation of Friday, October 24th, we are writing to ask that you present to the city commission the request of the Woman's Club of Clearwater ~or a twenty-five year extension on the easement we now hold on the city property located at the corner of Seminole St. and Osceola Ave., this extension to begin at the expiration of the ten year option of the present easement. Our building will barely accommodate the club's membership and it is essen- tial that we have enlarged quarters ir our club is to become the type of woman's club which Clearwater should have. In view of the fact that we could, at best, enlarge our present building only moderately on the above site, we would like you to consider granting us an easement on all or a portion of the city property located just east of Glenwood Ave. in the Hillcrest Section. In the event that an easement on this property were granted, it would enable the Woman's Club to erect a larger, more modern, and more attractive building whi.ch would be a credit to Clearwater and to which our City Commissioners could point with pride. We do not need to point out to you gentlemen the speed with which our city 1e growing, and we reel sure that iOU appreciate the influence !9r &ood that a progressive Woman's Club wields in a community. If the Commission will advise us by letter just what grant it is willing to make on either of these properties, we will immediately present their decision to the members or the Woman's Club of Clearwater at the club's opening meeting on November 12th. . Thanking you and the City Commissioners in advance for any consideration which you may extend to US~ we are Yours very truly, :1. , Mrs. George Williams Lamb /sl Marguerite Van Horne 'Lamb, Prest.

Steiraer that Grand Central Street b� opened through to Greenwood Avenue, the City Attorney reported tlzat the City has no right-of-�tiay and what would be the rightdof-way is obstructed by an old building which he understood had been condemned, that if the project were to go through, it would be necessary to condemn or purchase the land necessary for ths right-of-way. Comm3.ssioner Crown stated that if the improvement is to be made it should be done only on the basis oi assessing ths abutting properties for the cost af the project. Commissioner Blanton thought the matter should he referred to the property o�vners to find out if they will agree ta an assessment on it. The Mayor suggssted that the City Attorney check on whether or not the buil�ing is condemned, what usage is bein� macis of it, etc., and report back to the Commission.

Dear Sir: I�uring the several days of rain and high winds that we had recently, we had abnormally low tides and as a result the stench from the Stevenson Creek mud flats was terrible. A large number of the prape�ty owners from all the areas adjacent to the creek have again t alked the matter over to try and devise ways and means to get thQ City of Clsarwater to do something at�out this awiul mess, With thase areas now so well populated it deiinitely has become a health mena:e. One of the first steps decided upon was to have an interview with Mayor Herbert M. Brc�wn and try and find out what the cit;� intends to do about this. The writer cali�d on Mayor Bro�vn yesterday at his office and talked this entire matter over with him at length. It was ugon his suu�estion that I am writing this let�er to urge you to have i�his matber pub on the Agenda of the City Commission a� the earli�st moment possible for full discussion to try and arrive at a so.lution of this most trying problem. It is the definite opinion of the property owners that the small boat club proposal made recently and then withdrawn is not ihe answer. I feel sure that you are of the opinion that something shor:ld be done and done immediately t� correct the conditions as they now exist. Thanking you in advance fnr your attention and cooperation, I am, Yours very Tr.uly /s/ Charles Vetter (10�.6 Nokomis St.) Mr. Francis Middleton, City Mgr. Clearwater, Fla. Dear i�1r. Middl�ton: Oc�ober 25: 1952 As sug;ested by you in our conversation of Friday, �ctober 24th, we are writ�ng to ask that you present to the city commission the request of the Womdr,fs Club of Clearwater for a twenty-five year extension on the easement we noVr hald on the city property locate� at the corner of Seminole St. and Osceola Ave., thi� extension to begin at the expiration of the ten year optinn o#' the present easement. Our building v�il.l barely accommodate the clubis membership and it is essen- tial that we have enlarged quarters if our club is tp become the type of womau�s club which Clearwater shauld have. In view af the fact that we could, at best, enlarge our oresent building only moderately Un the above site, we would like you ta consider granting u:s an easement on all or a portion of the ;ity property located just east af Glenwood Ave. in the Hillcrest Sec�ion. In the event that an ease�nent on this property werz granted, it would enable the Ti7oman�s Club to erec� a largpr, more modern, and more attractive building which would be a credit to C"learwater and to which our City Commissioners could poin� with pride. We do not need to p�in� out to you gentlemen the speed with which our city is growing, and we feel sure tha't you appreciate the influence for gofld tisat a progressive Woman1s Club wields in a community. If the Commission will advise us by letter just what grant it is willing to make on either o.f these properties, we will immediately present their decision to the members of' the Woman's Club of Clearwater a� the club}s opening meeting on November 12th. Thanking you and the City Commissioners in advance foz• any oonaideration v�hich you may extend to us, we are Yours very t�^uly, Mrs. Gearge �Iilliams Lamb /s� Narguerite Van Horne Lamb, Yrest, Mrs. Arthur C, Fox /s/ Nlarguerite Fox, V.
