The meeting was called to order by the Mayor who announced that the special
meeting had been called to determine which zoning items were to be placed on the
Special Election ballot in September and to discuss the contracts ror the Skycrest
Disposal Plant cost for territory outside of the City limite.
The Commission discussed the requirements for setting up a special election
and a possible date for the election. Commissioner Strang moved the Commission
hold a Special Election on Tuesday, September 15, 1953, and that the proper
officials publish the necessary notices to hold a referendum on zoning items
and Spe~ial Acts of the Legislature and any other items that might come up
within the specified time. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried
unanimou8l~' ..

The Commission discussed rezoning the land on the south side of Stevenson
Creek now designated as Public to R-l. After considering whether it would be
wise to leave a portion of it zoned as Public in order that a small park could
be created. it was agreed that it would be advisable to zone the entire area as
R-l which is now zoned Public.
The proposal to delete all the regulations referring to signs in the Zoning
Ordinance and set up a separate Sign Ordinance was discussed and approved provided
that the repealing of the old ordinance, if authorized by the election, would not
be effective until 30 days after the election during which time the new Sign
Ordinance would be adopted.
The suggestion that the City Commission establish zoning for new areas
brought into the City limits not otherwise provided for by the Zoning Ordinance
was also approved.
The request to include in the referendum a change of zoning on Blocks 24,
25 and 26, Magnolia Park Subdivision, from R-2 to R-4 was denied.
The request to include in the referendum a change in zoning for Lots 1, 2
and 3, Block 19, Mandalay Subdivision, from R-l to R-M was referred to Commissioner
Bates to take up with the Clearwater Beach Association for their opinion.
The request to have in the referendum the rezoning of Lot 3. Block B,
Floridena Subdivision, and possibly Lots 1 and 2, Block B, from R-l to R-4 was
denied since a previous similar request had been denied by the Zoning Board and
the Commission under a hardship application.
It was the consensus of opinion of the Commission that it would be inadvis-
able to extend the City limits as recommended by the Zoning Board to admit
approximately the same area as was removed from the City limits January 1, 19.34.
The City Attorney read Ordinance 641 which provides for a Special Election
on September 15th to hold a referendum on zoning items and Special Acts of the
Legislature. Commissioner Strang moved that Ordinance 641 be passed on its first
reading with the following changes:
Section 8. Votes in such election shall be cast at polls set up at the
Municipal Auditorium on Pierce Boulevard.
Section 10. Change "six days prior to September 15th" to "ten days prior
~o September 15th".
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Strang moved that Ordinance 641 be considered on its second
reading by title only by unanimous consent of the Commission. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read Ordinance
641 by title. Commissioner Bates moved that Ordinance 041 be passed on its second
reading by title only. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried
unanimously.

CITY C~{[SSION MEETING
August 10, 1953
The City Attorney read Ordinance 641 in full. Commissioner Bates moved
that Ordinance 641 be passed and adopted on its third and final reading.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously.
Mr. Herman Goldner, attorney for Mrs. Doris Alvord, and Mr. A. T. Cooper,
attorney for A & W Glads, Inc., appeared before the Commission regarding the
contracts set up concerning the amounts to be paid by A & W Glads, Inc., and
Mrs. Doris Alvord to purchase capacity in tn8 Sewage Disposal Plant for Unit 9
of Skycrest and approximately 32.6 acres belonging to Doris Alvord. The attorneys
requested that there be a provision in tpe contracts setting up a refund procedure
for refunds or credits based on the difference between the actual assessment cost
of the Sewage Disposal Plant, calculated on the square footage basis of all
properties served, and the amounts previously paid by them. Their suggestion
was that Mrs. Alvord receive a credit on the $8,000.00 deferred payment for any
sum in excess of the actual proportionate cost of the Sewage Disposal Plant to
be refunded on either Unit 9 or on the acreage she owns outside the City limits.
If abatements should be due on Unit 9 and the acreage owned by Mrs. Alvord in
excess of the $8,000.00 deferred balance, that such abatements could only apply
to the $5,350.00 paid on her account by A & W Glads, Inc. Further, that this
property outside of the City limits could never be assessed by tpe City for the
cost of this same Sewage Disposal Plant in view of the fact that it had been
contracted to be paid for. Commissioner Bates moved that the Commission approve
the agreements with A & W Glads, Inc., and Doris T. Alvord with reference to the
assessment for the plant capacity of the Sewage Disposal Plant and the proper
City officials be authorized to execute them. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Crown and carried unanimously.
The Mayor recommended that the Commission take serious thought about the
meanS of financing the construction of new storm sewers and revamping some of
the present sewers and resurfacing and curbing some of the streets which need it
so badly. He said he would like to have the Commission investigate the possi-
bility of financing such a project and have it completed before next year's
rainy season. He t~ought that an issue of general obligation bonds would be
the most satisfactory means of financing such a program and it was his opinion
that such an issue would involve an increase in taxes of less than one mill.
He also suggested it would be well to have a Town Hall meeting to see what the
public's reaction to such a suggestion would be, and if it was favorable, then
put it up for referendum. Commissioner Bates moved that the Mayor's suggestion
be accepted with thanks and that he proceed along those general lines in taking
whatever steps that he thinks are necessary. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was
adjourned.
