The meeting was called to order by the Mayor. The invocation was given by
Dr. J. S. Dauerty of the Chapel-by-the Sea, Clearwater. Mrs. Doris Alvord
requested that the Commission have the minutes of August 10th amended so as to
show that if abatements should be due on Unit 9 and the acreage owned by Mrs.
Alvord in excess of the $8,000.00 deferred ba~ance, that such abatements could
only apply to the $5,350.00 paid on her account by A & W Glads, Inc. Commissioner
Crown moved that the minutes of August 10th be amended to provide that the point
was brought out and confirmed by attorneys present that this property outside of
the City limits could never be asse~sed by the City for the cost of this same
Sewage Disposal Plant in view of the fact that it had been contracted to be paid
for. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Bates moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of August 3rd
and the special meeting of August 10th be approved as per the amendments to the
special meeting of August 10th, without being read in accordance with the copies
furnished each member in writing. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and
carried unanimously.

The Mayor announced the Public Hearing on sanitary sewer for the area bounded
on the north by the south line of Granada Street, on the east by the west line of
Wilson Boulevard, on the south by the north line of Sedeeva Street and on the west
by the east line of Edgewater Drive. The City Manager explained the project,
estimatin~ it would cost $2,860.00 for the force main, $1,500.00 for the lift
station, '4,250.00 for 1,700 feet of eight inch pipe and $1,200.00 for six man hole
covers. He estimated the project as costing $2,89 per front foot. Mr. W. C. Sage
inquired as to whether or not sewage from this line would be treated at the old
Disposal ?lant, and if so, if the plant would not be overloaded. He was informed
that the sewage would be treated at the old plant but that it would not be over-
loaded. The City Attorney read a memo from Mrs. A. J. Bacon and Miss L. Maude
Bacon objecting to the project. He also read a letter from Mr. C. L. Darling
objecting to the project as presented since in his opinion the area covered by
the proje~t was too small. Mr. Wm. Dunn of the State Health Department said it
was the Department's recommendation that the City proceed with this project in

area bounded on the north by the south line of Granada Street, bounded on the
south by the north line of Sedeeva Street, bounded on the east by the west line

line, lift station and appurtenances be assessed against the property there bounded
on a front foot basis". Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried.

the proposed 31 new street li~hts for Manda1ay Avenue and estimated the entire
cost of the project as $10.465.86, of which $3,000.00 has already been appropri-
ated. It was decided to defer approval of the plan to the noxt meeting in order
to see if the Florida Power Corporation would underwrite some of the cost of the
new lights.
The City Attorney read a letter from Colonel Guy F. Maple resigning his
position of Director of Civil Defense in Clearwater because of ill health.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
August 17. 1953
The City Attorney repor~ed that he had word from Major W. R. Gunby that
there had been no progress made in securing a ~elevi8ion permit ~rom the F.C.C.
The Mayor instructed the City Attorney to contact Major Gunby and call his
attention to the ~act that the leased area has not been cleaned in accordance
with his agreement.
Commissioner Crown reported that some of the property owners on the south
end of Clearwater Beach who have no sanitary sewer have requested the City
Manager to have an informal hearing on the matter. The Mayor suggested it would
be well to have a Public Hearing on paving and drainage in that area. The City
Manager stated that the Public Hearing on paving and drainage would be set up
sometime after September 1st. but that the Engineer would have to estimate cost
of sanitary sewer before the other one could be called.
The Mayor announced that ~. Middleton would be on vacation for the next
two weeks and suggested that Mr. Gerald Weimer, Assistant Purchasing Agent, be
appointed Acting City Manager. Tne City Manager also recommended Mr. Weimer's
appointment. Commissioner Crown moved that the City Manager's recommendation
be approved and Mr. Gerald Weimer be appointed as Acting City Manager. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
Mr. James Novotny and a delegation from Clearwater Beach appeared before
the Commission relative ~o the ~et back lines in the area adjacent to Coronado
Drive and First Street. Mr. Novotny called attention to the fact tnat he had
been required to maintain a 20 foot set back in this area two years ago but that in
last December's election the zoning had been changed from R-2 to R-M and the set
back requirement had been reduced to 10 feet. He said that other owners in
the area were forced to maintain a 20 foot set back and that they had not been
aware of the set back change created by the re-zoning and he requested that the
Commission consider the re-establishment ot the 20 foot set back in this area.
Commissioner Crown moved that the Zoning Board immediately call a special
meeting to consider the request for the rever~ing to a 20 foot set back on
Coronado in conformity with past rulings of the City Commission and to consider
such other zoning changes as they might have for further consideration. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.
"Residents in ~he area of Franklin Street from Lincoln Avenue to Avanda
Court and Avanda Court have requested that the City take steps to make the
streets passable and it was the City Manager's recommendation that a few loads
or marl be placed in ~he street. The City Manager was instructed to'keep track
of the amount expended so that the matter could be charged against the street
maintenance budget.
Mr. Leo M. Bu~ler presented on behalf of Mr. Donald Beath a ske~ch showing
a seawall Mr. Beatb proposes to build on his property lying south or Water Lot
One. City Park Subdivision, stating that he wished to know where ~he seawall
should be located. and he also inquired as to the possibility of the City putting
a seawall on themjacent City-owned property west of Water Lot One. The cost of
the City's portion was estimated at approximately ~7,500.00 for 250 feet of
seawall. By consent, the matter was referred to the City Manager for study and
further consultation with Mr. Beath.
There being no further business to come before the Board. the meeting was
adjourned at ~:40 P.M.

Mr. H. G. Wingo, City Clerk

Dear Sir:
August 13, 1953
Re: Sewer Line, etc., Sunset Point-
Edgewater Drive area
This will serve as formal protest on the limits set forth in the notice
from City Engineer Lickton which specifies that the sewer line will be constructed
in the area west of Wilson Avenue and that the area east of Wilson is to be
excluded.
My property, Lots 13 and 14, Block "B" LaJolla - 100 feet - is on the south-
west corner of Granada and Wilson. On the south side of Granada from Edgewater
Drive to Wilson there are six homes with another now under construction. From
Wilson to Broadway there are eight homes, one of which also has a garage apartment.
There is quite a decided slope from Broadway to the western boundary of my
property and very little from that point to Edgewater Drive. Unless the area east
or Wilson Avenue is included in any plan the area west of Wilson will always be
threatened with pollution from the septic tanks to the east of Wilson.
The property owners to the west of Wilson will not be "especially benefited"
by the projsct as proposed and my protest is on the elimination of the area east
of Wilson Avenue and has particular reference to Granada Street. I believe however
the same conditions will prevail on Charles and Sedeeva S~s.
Yours truly,

The Honorable Mayor, Herbert M. Brown
City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir:
It has become necessary for me to tender my resignation as Director of
Civil Defense of Clearwater, to be effective 15 September 1953.
As you know I retired from the Army with a physical disability. I had
hoped that my physical condition would improve in this climate, but it has
deteriorated to the extent that I have been ordered before a medical board for
examination and have been directed to relieve myself of all activities and
physical exertion.
I have maintained the activities of Civil Defense in Clearwater for
practically a year, in Eace of adverse conditions, namely, the disinterest of
the qualified citizens of Clearwater to participate in Civil Defense activities.
I feel that a Civil Defense organization is still very necessary in Clearwater,
as well as in the entire United States. We have a well balanced Civil Defense
organization, which was developed by Captain Ashton B. Smith, U. S. Navy, Rettd.
In an emergency the organization can be readily put into effect by personnel
trained by reason of their professional occupation.
I have no recommendation to make as to my successor, as I stated above,
that qualified citizens are entirely disincerested in Civil Defense. It is,
however, imperative that I be relieved of the duties and responsibilities of
Director of Civil Defense of Clearwater, not later than 15 September, 1953.
Shortly after that date I expect to be absent from Clearwater for an extended
period of time as a patient at Walter Reed General Hospital, Washington, D. C. for
observation and treatment and a possible operation.
Resp'ect~ully yours.

Re: Sewer Line, etc., 3unset Point-•
EdgPwater Drive area
This will serve as formal prntest on the limits set forth in the notic�
from Ci�y E�gineer Lickton which speciiie� that the sewer line will be constructed
in the area west of Wilson Avenue and that the area east o£ Wilson is to be
excluded,
My property, Lots 1J and 1�., Block 'B" LaJolla - 100 feet - is on the south-
vrest corner of Granada and t�lils�n. On the south siaP o� Granada from Edgewater
Driye to Wilson there are six homes with another now under Gonstruction. From
Wilson to Broadway there are eight homes, one of which also has a gzrage apartment.
There is quite a decided slope from Eroadway to the vrestern boundary of my
property and very little from that point �q Edgewater Drive. Unles� the area east
of Wilson ?.Yenue is included in any plaa the area west o£ wilson will always be
threatened with pollution fram the septic tanks to the east of Wilson.
The praperty owners to the wesr_. of Wilson will not be tfespecially benefited�r
by the project as proposed and my protest is on the elimination of the area eaet
of Wilson Avenue and has garticular reierence to Granada Stree�. I believe however
the same conditions will prevail on Charles anci Sedeeva Sts.

The Honorable Mayor, HPrbsrt I�i. Brown
City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir:
�+ugust 10, 1953
It has become necessary for me to tender my resignation as Director of
Civil Defense of �learwaterr to be effective 35 Septembsr 1953.
As you know I retired irom the Army with a physical disability. I had
hoped that my physical condition would improve in this climate, bv.�t it has
deteriorated to the extent that I have been ordered before a medical board for
examination and have been direct�d to relieve myself of all actiai�ies and
physical exertion.
I have maintained the activities of Civil Defense in Clearwater for
practically a year, in face of adverse conditions, namely, the disinterest of
the qualified citizens of Clearwater t� particigate in Civil Deiense activities.
I feel that a Givil Defense organ�zation is still very necessary in Clearwater,
as Well as in the entire United States. We have a we11 balanced Givil �JefQns�
organization, �vhich was developed by Cagtain Ashton B. Smith, U. S. Navy, Retid.
In an emergency the organization can be readily put zr�to effect by persannel
trained by reason oi their professional occupation.
I have no recommendation to make as to my successor, as I stated above,
that qualified citizens are entirely disinterested in Civil Defeuse. It is,
however, imperative that I be relieved of the duties and responsibilities of
Director of Civil Defense of ClearwaterJ not later tnan ].j 8e�tember, 1�53.
Shortly after that date I expect to be absent from C.learwater for an extendec�
period of time as a patient at Walter Reed General Hospital, Washingtion, D, C, f�r
obssrvation and treatment and a possible operation.
Respeatfullp yours,
