This one is exactly the same as the City ofrered the County many months ago with one exception the City would construct the water system and sell water to the County. A~reement #2. Without being involved in any arrangement whereby the County might build a water system, the City will be a customer of that system at so many cents a thousand gallons according to a decreasing scale and the City would not be involved in any of the construction or fiscal features. ,.. .. ' '- :.':.'; ,:'. '. 1 : J , : i I I The Mayor suggested that since the Commissioners had not had a chance to go over the proposed contracts that discussion be postponed to an executive session later in the week. By consent, the Commission agreed to do this. The City Attorney submitted a Resolution requested by the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund setting out the facts of the proposed purchase of additional land in the south part of Clearwater Bay. The City Attorney explained that the description extends the tract of land that the City purChased so as to embrace all submerged land directly opposite to the Memorial Causeway south and to extend out beyond the fourth finger in Clearwater Bay so that no additional submerged lan~can be filled in south bay which are not connected to the mainland but would not prevent a bayfront property owner on the mainland from filling the submerged land adjacent to his property. He further explained that this descrip- tion did not include the submerged land directly in the pass as it was indicated that the I. I. Board would refuse to sell it. Commissioner Bates moved that the description be amended to include all that land at the Pass that we discussed previously, and if we get a formal refusal of record from the I. I. Board, that the proper officials be authorized to proceed with the purchase or any and all of that land that can be secured from the I. I. Board, and that the Resolution be adopted as amehded.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING September 21, 1953 Mr. F. E. Middleton City Manager City of Clearwater Clearwater, Fla. Dear Mr. Middleton: Attached is a letter, addressed to you, from Mr. John W. Wakefield of the Florida ~tate Board of Health regarding odor complaints in the vicinity of the Clearwater sewage treatment plant. Mr. M, E. Dawkins ~as in Pinellas County during the week of August 17, 1953, to assist the operator at one or the new sewage treatment plants in this area. Since this department has continued to receive complaints on odors in the Sunset Harbor area and the complaintants allege that the Clearwater sewage treatment plant is the source of the odors, I thought it well for Mr. Dawkins to visit the plant while he was here. It has been my opinion all along that the Clearwater sewage treatment plant was in no way connected with the odors which people living in the Sunset Harbor area reported. Ir we can be of assistance, do not hesitate to call us. Very truly yours, /s/ William E. Dunn Sanitary Engineer . i i . . \ " . ,.' ~'. / : . .,/,:. :: ~. :;::,::' ;\ ',' :: ,...l{...::~. i i.

Middleton City Manager City of Clearwater Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Middleton: At the request or Mr. William E. Dunn, Sanitary Engineer, Pinellas County Health Department, Mr. M. E. Dawkins, Sanitary Engin(~er of our Contral Staff, visited your sewage treatment plant on August 20, 1953. This visit was in connection with complaints, which apparently continue, regardw ing odors allegedly due to the sewage treatment plant operation. On the night of August 20, our representative in compAny with Mr. D. J. Raye, the Plant Superintendent, surveyed the residential area in tho vicinity of the plant. We wish to note that city personnel were unaware of the tim1n~ of this visit and therefore could nave taken no special precautions to eliminate odors. We also point out that ~eather conditions were ideal for carrying odors from the plant site to the nearby residences along Stevenson Creek, had such odor sources been present. The inspection continued through the night hours dur1n~ which tho alleged odors persist. During the visit Mr. R. A. Berkhiser, whom we believe to be an officer in the Sunset Harbor Civic Club, and another citizen of the Clearwater area, visited the plant. We believe that Mr. Berkh1ser haa been a spokesman for the odor com- plaintants. The two citizens reportedly 1ef't the plant convinced that the plant was being operated properly and that another source for the odors would have to be found. We again wish to state that we are quite pleased with the capable supervision and quality of operation maintained at your sewage tr'eatment plant. Operation reports of your plant are regularly reviewed by this office. Members or our central stafr, as l'lell as of the Finellas Count.y IlEJalth Department, have visited the plant many times over the past ~ew months, includine several night visits, and to date there has been found no evidence of odor nuisance created by the sewage treatment plant. As we have pointed out before, we consider your plant to be one o~ the best operated primary treatment plants in Florida. We cannot positively state the source of the alleged odora. We would suggest again the mudflats in Stevenson Creek and the noarby septic tanks which overrlow to the stream, as the source. We would heartily endorse a sewering plan ~or the areas on both sides of Stevenson Creek as an essential step in clearing up the odor problems. Very truly yours, John W.

L�ots upon which this appeal is made are re�tricted to a one-family reszdEntial purpose and thereby prevent construction of multiple units or rental units for more than one family. This applir,ation is based upon the hardship rule for the reason that Lots 101 to 10y. inclusiv� across 3rd Street and Lots 109 and 110 an the South side of the progerty are zoned and used far multiple units and proper�y across from this application on Coronado Drive is zoned for multiple units.

E. Nliddle�r�n City Manager City of Clearwater Clearwater, Fla. Dear Mr. Middleton: Saptember 4, 1953 At�ached is a letter, addressed to you, from Mr. John W. Wakefield oi' the Florida State Board of Health regarding odor complaints in the vicinity of the Clearwater sewage treatment plant, Mr. M. E. Dawkins was in Pinellas County during the wesk of August 17, 1953, to assist the operator at one of the new sewage treatment plants in this area. Since this department has continued to receive complaints on odors in the Sunset H�rbor area and the complaintants allege that the Clearvrater sewage treatment plant is the source of the odors, � thought it well for Mr. Davakins to visit t,he plant while he was here. It has been my opinion all along that the Clearwater s�wage treatment plant was in no way connected with the odors which people living in the Sunset Harbor area reported. I€ we can be of assistance, �p not hesitate to call u�. WED/wl Very truly yours, /sf William E. Dunn Sanitary Engineer Mr. F. C, Middleton August 31, 1q53 City Manager City of Clearwater Clearwa�er, Florida Dear Mr°. Middletan: At the requsst �f Mr. Wil�iam E. Dunn, 5anitary Engineer, Pinellas County Health Department, Mr. M. E. Dawk?n5, Sanitary Engineer of our Central Staff, visited your sewage treatment plant on August 2Q, 1953. This visit was in connection with complaints, which apparently continue, regard- ing odors allegedly due to the sewage trea�ment plant operationz On the night of August 20, our representatzve in company with Mr. D. J. Raye, the Plant Superintendent, surveyed the residential area in the vicinity of the plant. We wish to note that city personnel were unaware of the timing of this visit and therefore could have taken no special precautions ,*,o eliminate odors, i�'e a3so �oint out that weather conditions were ideal for carrying odors from tr�e plant site to the nearby residences along Stevenson Creek, had such odor sources been presen�. The inspection continued through the night hours during which the alleged odors persist. During the visit Mr. R. A. Berkhiser, whom we believe to be an offieer in the Sunset Harbor Civic Club, and another citizen of the Clearwater area, visited the plant, We believe that Mr. Berkhiser has beerz a spokesman for the odor com- plaintants. T:�e two citizens repoxtedly left tl.e plant convir_:.e�i that the plant was being operated properly and that another source for the odors would have to be found. We again wish to state that v�e are quite pleasad with the capable supervision and quali�y of operation maintained at your sewage treatment plant. Gperation reports of your plant ar� regularly reviewed by this office. Members of our central staff, as well as of the Pinellas County Health Department, have visited the plant many tim�s over the past few months, including several night visits, and to date �hea•e has been found no evidence of odor nuisance created by the sewage treatment plant. As we have pointed out before, we consider your p].ant to b e one of the best operatzd primary treatment plants in Florida. We cannot positively state the source nf the alleged odors. We would suggast again the mudflats in Stevenson Creek and the nearby smptic tanks which overilow to the stream, as the source, We would heartily endorse a sewering plan for the areas on both sides o£ Stevenson Creek as an essential step in clearing up the odor problems.
