The City Manager recommended accepting the low bid of W. D. Owens Construction
Company at $16,240.00. Commissioner Bates moved that the Manager's recommenda~
tion be accepted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried
unanimously.
The City Attorney reported that he had received an offer from Mr. Owen
Allbritton, attorney for the developers of the part of Betty Lane Heights outside
the City limits, to pay $2,000.00 as a deposit to reserve capacitI,in the lift
station of the sewer system planned for that area, the remaining i4,OOO.OO to be
paid within two years' time or else the $2,000.00 would be forfeited to the City.
Mr. Allbritton said that he believed there had been a precedent for such an aetion
set in the Skycrest contracts for capacity in the Disposal Plant. Commissioner
Strang stated that the difference was in Betty Lane Heights the City would need
means to finance the project, in Skycrest they were selling surplus capacity in
the Disposal Plant which has already been built. During the discussion. it was
brought o~t that the lift station was not included in the foregoing bids.
Commissioner Crown moved that the offer be not accepted and that the Commission
adopt a policy of requiring payment in full where the property is outside the
City limits in advance and before the contract is let. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
Regarding the sewer that is to run north and south of the Charles Street
lots, the City Attorney reported that Mr. Sage of the Edgewater Drive Association
has requested that the City secure a new easement to run along the north boundary
of the lots on Sedeeva Street in Floridena Subdivision instead of using the
easement in the rear of the Charles Street lots on that side. Mr. Sage gave as
his reason for making the request the fact that there would be considerable
hardship to the affected property owners in the removal of hedges, etc. In one
instance a fishpool and in another instance a heating system would have to be
moved from t~e existing easement. Mr. Sage asked that the Attorney draft an
easement dedication and let the Edgewater Drive Association get the necessary
signatures. By consent, the City Attorney was instructed to furnish Mr. Sage
with the necessary documents and easements for the people to sign.
The City Attorney read a report froln the Zoning Board on the request of Mr.
James Novotney and other property owners to re-establish the 20 foot set back on
both sides of Coronado Drive. The Zoning Board recommended that the request be
denied because the Board did not have sufficient time to study the request. the
Board feels a change of this sort would adversely affect the entire Zoning Act,
and the Board feels that there has not been sufficient publicity to inform the
other property owners. The Mayor suggested that if Clearwater Beach Island were
ever connected with Belleair Beach by a bridge or causeway it is possible that
Coronado would be the street leading to the bridge and additional right-of-way
might be needed. Commissioner Bates reported that when the matter came up before
the Zoning Board there were sixteen property owners in favor of it and none
objecting. Commissioner Crown asked to be excused from the voting on this issue
as he had some property in the affected area. Commissioner Bates moved that the
Commission take whatever action is necessary to mark this particular area with
a twenty foot set back on Coronado Drive from its intersection at its southerly
end with Hamden Drive to its intersection with the portion of Gulfview Boulevard
which runs east and west immediately north of Coronado Hotel, and have it ready
to be voted on at the Special Election, September 15th. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Strang and carried. Commissioner Crown did not vote.
The City Attorney read the Zoning Board's recommendation on the request of
Mr. James R. Roberts to designate a strip of property 200 feet deep on the west
side of Greenwood Avenue between Woodlawn Street and Kingsley Street as Busines8
zone instead of R-4. The Zoning Board recommended that the request be granted
since the opposite side of the street is now zoned as Business. After some
discussion. the Mayor suggested that the matter could be taken up as a hardship
case and be set up for a Public Hearing.

CITY CO~~ISSION MEETING
August 24, 1953
Commissioner Crown suggested it might be well to increase the set back tor
the business property on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard to provide ror off street parking.
Commissioner Bates reported that the laws of the State Hotel Commission whereby
the hotels must provide orf street parking for their guests are not being observed.
It was suggested that the City Attorney draft an ordinance containing sucn a
requirement. The City Attorney said he would like to check recent decisions on
off street parking contailled in some ordinances in the State of Florida which
have been tested. By consent, the City Attorney was directed to draft such an
ordinance and send it to the Zoning Board for their recommendation.
It was recommended by the Mayor that the request to include in the referendum
a change in zoning from R-l to R-M ror Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 19, Mandalay
Subdivision be handled as a hardship case due to the fact that the request has
not been passed on by the Zoning Board. Commissioner Bates reported that the
Clearwater Beach Association was ror the change since as the matter stands now
the owner cannot rebuild or make any jarnor repairs or alterations to improve the
buildings. Commissioner Crown moved in view of lack of publicity and hearing
by the Zoning Board that the rezoning of the Towers Hotel property (Lots 1, 2 and
3, Block 19, Mandalay) be deleted from any proposed changes in the coming refer-
endum. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The Mayor suggested that the City Attorney start working on the addition to
the Sign Ordinance by making a draft that can be submitted to the Zoning Board
immediately after the Special Election ir Ordinance 642 is approved in the
referendum.

Commissioner Russell reported for the Committee on the Ball Park saying
that plans had been prepared by an architect from Nashville who was a specialist
in the field and the Committee had had a conference with the architect and
approved the plans. The Mayor reported that the Committee recommended that the
financing be handled by revenue certificates and that a fiscal agent be employed
to handle the financing. He said that Mr. Wendell Spragins had done a good job
for Clearwater in the past and he would like to have the Committee authorized to
talk over the contract with~. Spragins and have him submit a contract for the
Commission's approval, said contract providing if no bonds are sold there will
be no fee. The City Attorney recommended that a fiscal agent not be employed
but that the bonds be readied for sale by the City through its normal facilities
and then have individual bond houses, fiscal agents, etc., asked to submit bids
for the revenue certificates on a percentage basis and that no employees be
compensated for any fiscal agent's duties. The Mayor estimated the new ball
park would cost $300,000.00 and would have a seating capacity of 4,652. The
ball park will be located on that part o~ Tract D lying east of Greenwood between
Seminole and Palmetto Streets. Commissioner Russell moved that the Mayor appoint
a Committee including himself to contact Mr. Sprag ins to see what kind of deal
we can make with him in regards to being our fiscal agent. Motion was seconded
by Corr~issioner Strang and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney reported that there ~re still two pieces of property needed
for the Missouri Avenue right-of-way from Court Street to Cleveland Street. He
said that Mr. Ray Ulmer, attorney for the Clinton Harvey Estate, had proposed to
sell Lot 1, Block 1, W. F. Hughey Subdivision, including two buildings for
$2,750.00 and that the City had a prospective sale of one building for $350.00
and the other building for $600.00. He also proposed that the City assume all
expenses of the sale including the abstract or title insurance. The City Attorney
said Mr. Alfred Marshall, attorney for Carrie Scott and Ruth Brown, heirs of the
Randolph Moore Estate, had proposed to sell the north 65 feet of Lot One, or Lot 5,
R. H. Padgetts Subdivision or Original Lots 2 and 5, for $1,500.00 cash, the City
to agree to move the house on the property to an adjoining lot and to connect the
utilities to the house and to assume all expenses of the sale. The City Attorney
also reported that Mr. W. R. Kabrich had asked for a meeting with the Committee
from the Commission regarding making a counter proposal ror certain parcels of
property still not secured for the Missouri right-of-way south of Court Street
as condemnation proceedings were beginning. The Mayor appointed Commissioners
Bates and Russell to serve on this Committee. By consent, it was agreed that
this Committee should consider the offers or the Clinton Harvey Estate and the
Randolph Moore Estate also and make a report.
Commissioner Crown reported ror the Committee that he had investigated the
matter of a proposed limousine service by' C. V. Roberts with the local eab '
companies and found that they were not averse to having the limousine service
initiated to the airports if it would remain strictly a limousine service. He
said therefore the Committee recommended that the Commission no longer object
to the licensing of a limousine service from the airports into Clearwater. By
consent, the City Manager was directed to prepare a letter and send it to the
Railroad Commission setting forth our thoughts that we endorse a strictly
limousine service.

At a special meeting of the Zoning Board held Thursday evening, August 20,
1953, a motian was made and carried that the request of N�r. James R. Ro�erts
asking that his propertq on the N.W. corner of Woodlawn St. and South Greenwood

ing recommendation:
Change the strip og property 200' deep on the west side og Greenwood Ave.
between Woodlawn St. and Kingsle3r St. be changed from the present R y. zonin� to

The Board is making this recommendation due to the fact that the area on
the opposite side of �he street is now zoned Business and the zoning of �his area
to R 4 residential was in error.
