CITY CO~1ISSION MEETING
October 19, 1953
A Public Hearing was announced by the Mayor on constructing a 12 inch storm
sewer from the corner of Devon Drive and Harnden Drive northerly to the existing
storm sewer in Harnden Drive north of First Street and resurfacing Hamden Drive
from Third ~treet to First Street and resurfacing Third Street from Hamden to
Coronado Drive. The City Manager reported that at the preliminary hearing the.
residents expressed themselves as being in favor of the project but wished it
postponed until after the winter season; however, they desired some kind of
temporary paving or repair work immediately. After some discussion in which
the residents of the area participated, the Mayor su~gested that the City crews
scrape the street and then put some marl on it. Having heard no valid objection,
Commissioner Bates moved that the drainage and paving project on Harnden Drive
area be approved and authorize the work to be started approximately next May 1st.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown with the amendment accepted that
temporary relief be given insofar as practical. Upon the vote being taken, the
motion carried unanimously.
After discussion of other items, COlwnissioner Crown pointed out that the legal
advertisement and the notices sent to the property owners did not mention curbing in
the storm sewer and paving project ~or Hamden Drive and Devon Drive. The Mayor sug-
~ested that the approval of the project be rescinded and it be re-advertised in March
or April. Commissioner Crown moved that the action with respect to the paving and

tion which was that the request be approved. Commissioner Crown moved that the
arplication of Max Benbow to erect a detached gara~e on a separate lot be approved

by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
A Public Hearing was announced on the request of Mrs. Mildred G. Coates for a 10
foot building setback line on Aurel Street for Lot 6, Block 54, ~andalay, instead of
a 25 foot setback line. The City Attorney r8ad the Zoning Board's recomnendation
which was that the request be granted. Commissioner Crown moved that the application
of Mildred G. Coates for 10 foot buildin~ setback on Aurel Street for Lot 6, Block 54,
Mandalay, be approved in accordance.with the Zoning Board's recommendation. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.

explaining that he had already built one multiple unit on his property and was
planning to build another when the zonin~ was changed last December. He also
pointed out in his letter that adjacent property in Block A facing on Drew Street
is zoned R-4 now. The Mayor reported ~hat the recommendation of the Zoning Board
was that the request be granted. Corrunissioner Russell moved that the request of
Otis Angier for a change in zoning of Lots 1-5, inclusive, frota the present R-2
zonin~ to R-4 zoning be~ranted in accordance with the Zoning Board's recommenda-
tion. Mot ion was seconded by COfllr:.issioner Crown and carried unanimously.

for a sanitary sewer to service store buildings on property which belongs to her on
the south side of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard between Keene Road and Virginia Lane. The
City ~ngineer estimated the cost of the project at $3,000.00. It was Mrs. Scurto's
wish to pay $1,000.00 cash and have the balance of the assessrnent covered by a lien
against ~he property which would entail conducting a Public tiearillg, adoption of an
assessment resolution, etc. This proposal was not considered desirable by the City
Commission. By consent, the matter was deferred to the next meeting so that the
Seaboard Oil Company can be contacted relative to their paying part of the cost.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
October 19, 1953
Consideration of proposed Ordinance 646, Annexation of Skycrest Terrace
Subdivision, was deferred to the next meeting.
The City Attorney read the proposed lease between the City and Johnnie Mae
Williams for space for the Colored Library which would lease the building on
Lot 1, Pennsylvania Subdivision, for five years at $75.00 per month. The Mayor
suggested that the lease be amended to include fire insurance on the contents of
the building only. Commissioner Crown moved that the lease as amended be
approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Stran.; and carried unanimously.
The Commission took under consideration the request of Mr. Donald Beath that
the City establish a seawall line on his property on the south side of Water Lot
One, City Park Subdivision, so that he may build his seawall where it would
connect with and be a continuation of the City's seawall line when the seawall
is built. The City Engineer submitted a sketch showing the proposed seawall line
which would coincide with the seawall line proposed by Mr. Beath's engineer which
the City Engineer had given his tentative approval. The Mayor suggested that the
City Attorney be instructed to present a resume of procedure to use in establish-
ing this seawall line and for the establishin~ of seawall lines in the future.
The City Attorney said this mi~ht be done by having the City Engineer prepare
maps of the City having the seawall lines shown on the map which would be adopted
by ordinance. Commissioner Strang moved that this seawall line fronting this
property on City 'lJater Lot 1 as prepared by the City Engineer be approved as
owned by V~. Beath and others which basically consists of a smoothly curving line
from a fixed property point at the base of the curve to the end of the existing
seawall. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.
The City Manager reported for the Committee investi~ating the offer of Gulf
Oil Company to give part of their rroperty on the apex of the triangle on N. E.
Cleveland and Drew Street to the City. He said the Gulf Oil Company had agreed
to pave the portion of their property and then deed it to the City for street
purposes. He stated that E. H. Holcomb, Jr., was doing the paving for the oil
company and would remove the adjacent broken concrete pavement and dispose of it
for $200.00 and replace it with asphalt paving for $300.00, leaving a nine foot
circle around the power pole for planting and curbing it for $50.00. Commissioner
Bates moved the acceptance of the Committee's report on the corner of N. E.
Cleveland and Drew Street on the best arrangement that can be worked out by the
City Manager but not to exceed the estimated cost of $550.00. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously.
The City Manager presented the plat of Nursery Park Subdivision, a part of
Tract A, Suburb Beautiful, and recolmnended that it be approved. He pointed out
that the str~ats adjacent to the new subdivision were alre~dy paved. Commissioner
Crown moved that the plat of ~ursery Park Subdivision be approved in accordance
with the City Aanager's recorrunendation. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor reported having a request from Mr. W. D. Owens that a letter be
prepared directed to the Army Engineers in Jacksonville saying that the City does
not protest the building of groins on the south end of Clearwater Beach extending
from Mr. Owens property. Commissioner Bates moved that the Commission co mpl)r
with the request of Mr. Owens to notify the Army Engineers that we have no
objections to the placing of the groin in the manner shown on this map. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner ~trang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor presented the proposed plans for the new Ball Park and estimated
the cost at $350,000.00 and the seating capacity at 4,652. The City Attorney read
a proposed contract with R. W. Spragins & Co., of Memphis, Tennessee, fiscal
agents, in whi~h they agree to formulate plans of financing the ball park subject
to the approval of the City Commission, their fee not to exceed 1.9% of the bond
issue; this fee would also apply to any bonds for water extension, sewer extension,
storm sewer facilities, annex to the City Hall or other improvements for a period
of eighteen months. It was pointed out that if the City signed the contract for
the eighteen month period and no new projects were financed by bonds or revenue
certificates, the City would pay only the 1.9% fee. Commissioner Crown inquired
if it would be possible to accept Mr. Spragins proposal with the provision that if
the City hired any other fiscal a,;ent to do any other work in the next eighteen
months that Mr. Spragins would be paid the dif~erence between the 1.9% fee and the
2.4% fee. Mr. Wendell Spragins said that would be satisfactory. Commissioner
Russell moved that the Commission employ R. W. Spragins & Co. as its fiscal agent
for building the ball park according to the proposal as amended, and that the
proper officials be authorized to execute the contract.. Motion was s'econded by
Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. ~~. Spragins' proposal is set forth
in the following pages of these minutes.
The City Attorney presented a statement for $650.00 from Robert W. Wilson for
his services in connection with appeals pending in Circuit Court at the time of his
resignation. Commissioner Strang moved that the bill be paid. Motion was seconded
by Corrmissioner Russell and carried u~animously.
The City Attorney presented a statement for $750.00 for partial payment for his
services in connection with the Kerekes - Nelson suit. Commissioner Strang moved
that the bill be paid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried
unanimously. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the
meeting was adjourned at 6:05 P.M.

The Hon. Francis Middleton, City Manager
City Hall
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Francis:
Octoher 16, 1953
I am writing you at the request of Mr. Harry W. Shepard, the owner of the
following described property here in Clearwater:
All of Block 10 of AIKEN'S SUBDIVISION, according to the map or plat
thereof as recorded in Plat Book 14, page 45, public records Pinellas
County, Florida.
Mr. Shepard has been advised that there is a movement under way to have the
City pave Franklin Street between Myrtle and Prospect Avenues. You will note that
the above described property is bounded by Franklin Street on the North and lies
between Myrtle and Prospect Avenues. Thus Mr. Shepard owns 50% of the property
which would be affected by this paving.

Mr. Shepard is not in favor of having this paving done at this time, and
wishes to take this means of lodgin~ his protest. Since Mr. Shepard owns one-half
of the property affected, it is our understanding that the City would not be
inclined to make such :improvement over his objection.
In spite of this formal protest, if you feel it essential that Mr. Shepard
or his representative be present at the public hearing, I shall appreciate it
very much indeed if you will ~ive me a call.
Yours respectfully,

Mr. John K. Batstone, Chairman
Zoning Board
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
September 21, 1953
Along the middle of 1952, I purchased lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block B, Fairview
Subdivision, Drew Street, Clearwater, Florida. This property was zoned R-2, which
permitted construction of multiple dwelling units, and on September 1st I started
construction of the first building of a proposed 28 unit set up. This first
building was opened for occupancy on January 1st, 1953 under the name of "FAIRWAY"
APARTMENTS.
Subsequent to the purchase of lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, I purchased the East 110' of
Lot 5 on which a garage was constructed, built strong enough to later on carry
four garage apartments on the second floor. At some time, and I do not know the
date, the zoning regulations in the City or Clearwater were changed and, although
this property remained R-2 zoning, ~-2 zoning became an area in which duplexes
could be built but not multiple units.

However, that area West and up to the West side of Evergreen Street was changed to
R-4 zoning and the area in which I am located, which runs East from Evergreen
Street, remained R-2.
I have never been able to understand why because the apartment building that I
have now was already built and therefore was in R-4 territory, but yet the
territory was zoned R-2.
I hAve plans here that show the original lay-out of 28 units, which necessitAtes
the buildine of another unit simil::lr to the present "FAIRWAY" A.PARTlv1ENTS, cHid two
more gara~es similar to the one already built with 4 units above each one of the
~arR~es. These plAns were drawn up in 1952.
I request, therefore, that lots 1, 2, J, 4 Rnd 5 in Block B of FRirview Subdivision
he chan,~ed to R-4 so that, .from time to t irne, additional uni ts can be put up to
eventually approach the 28 unit total shown on the original plan, which can be
done with an R-4 zoning, but cannot be done with an R-2 zonins, but yet could have
been done with the old R-2 zoning.

Inasmllch as the City Commission ~elt that ~tr. Robert's request for the re-zoning
of his property on the N.W. Corner of Woodlawn St. and South Greenwood Ave. was
not a matter for referendum but should be handled as a hardship case, the Board
hereby approves the request of the petition under the hardship ruling as follows:
The strip of property 200' deep on the West side of Greenwood Ave. between Woodlawn
St. and Kingsley St., be changed from the pr8sent R-4 zoning to Business zoning.
The Board is making this recommendation due to the fact that the area on the
opposite side of the street is now zoned Business and the zoning of this area
to R-4 (Residential) was in error.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING

CONTRACT
Honorable Mayor and City Commission
City of Clearwater
Florida
October 20, 1953
Gentlemen:
As a result of your consideration of my former proposals at yoUr meeting on
Monday, October 19, 1953, we submit the following proposal Which, we understand,
is in conformity w1th your expressed intentions.
We, R. W. SPRAGINS & COMPANY, hereinafter called the "Bankers", and the
CI~Y OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, a municipal corporation, hereinafter called the
"City", hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. The City agrees to employ the Bankers to formulate and submit to the
City a plan of finanCing the installation of a new ball park, which project shall
proceed without undue delay. In regard to all projects undertaken during the
term hereof, the City will furnish to the Bankers all information requested by
the Bankers to determine the feasibility of all aspects of the programs and the
type of financing most appropriate to the purpose.
2. The Bankers will pay all of the expenses necessary for the issuance ot
the bonds and revenue certificates, including the cost of the opinion of a
nat1on~lly recognized fi~ of bond attorneys, the printing of the bond and
revenue certificates, and all other expenses incident to their issuance, including
all expenses entailed by the Bankers in connection with their services to be
rendered to the City; provided, however, that the City shall pay its own attorney
or attorneys for services rendered to the City in connection with all projects
undertaken during the term hereof.
3. The bond attorneys will work hand in hand with the City's attorney and
prepare all of the ordinances and other legal proceedings necessary tor good
delivery of the bonds and revenue certificates.
4. For the services and expenses hereinabove set forth for the ball park
project, the City agrees to pay to the said Banker a tee not to exceed 1.90 per
cent of the total amount of bonds and revenue certificates issued for said pro-
ject. All fees to become due to the said Bankers shall become due not prior to,
but simultaneously with the issuance and delivery of said bonds and revenue
certi~icates to the respective purchasers thereof; and when said fees shall have
been paid to the Bankers, the City is relieved of all obligations to the Bankers.
If, during the term of this agreement, the City uses the services of any other
fiscal agent or banker on any program other than the ball park, then the fee of
the Bankers for the ball park project shall be 2.~O per cent instead of 1.90 per
cent as hereinbefore set forth. This adjustment of the Bankers' fee is made for
the reason that the fee of 1.90 per cent is quoted by the Bankers in considera-
tion o~ and anticipation ot the rendering by the Bankers of other services to
the City during the term of this agreement.
S. The City is not obligated to issue any bonds and revenue certificates,
nor is it obligated to any type of financing unless the City approves the type
o~ ~inancing, the feasibility and advisability of the project or projects mentioned
herein, and also approves the interest rate which the bonds and revenue certifi-
cates shall bear and the price at which such securities are sold.
6. It is expressly understood that during the life of the agreement the
City can abandon either one or allot the projects herein mentioned and by the
abandonment of the projects the City is not obligated to the Bankers for any
expenses entailed by the Bankers.
7. The City is presently contemplating additional projects in the nature
o~ facilities to obtain a permanent source of water supply, extension and
renovation of the City'S water distribution system, sanitary sewer extensions,
sto~ sewer facilities, an annex or addition to the City Hall, and other needed
improvements.
'8. The term ot this agreement is for a period of Eighteen (lS) Months from
tbe 19th day of October 1953; provided, however. that this agreement does not
obligate the City to undertake any projects or to issue any bonds or revenue
certificates during the term hereof, unless said projects and issues shall first
be approved by the City Commission of the City.

Along the middle of 1952, I purchased lots 1, ?, 3 and 4, Block B, Fairview
Subdiv�szon, Drew Street, Clearwater, Florida. This property was z�ned ft-2, V�hich
permitted constructi,an oi multiple dwelling units, and on September lst I started
construction of the first buildin� of a proposed 2$ unit set up. This first
building was opened for occupancy on January lst, 1953 under the name af "FAIRWAY"
APARTMENTS.
Subsequent to the purchase of lots l, 2, 3 and l�, Z purchased the EasL 110' af
Lot 5 on which a gaz�.age was constrttcted, built strong enaugh to later on c arr}•
four garage apartments on the second floor. At some time, and I eio not know the
date, the zoning regulations in the City of Clearwater were changed and, al�hough
this �roperty remained R.-2 zoning, R-2 aoning became an area in which duplexes
could be built but'not multiple units,
(Continueaj

(Continued)
However, that area Wes� and up to the 4Vest side of Evergreen Street was changed to
R-!�. zoning and the area in which I am located, which runs East i'rom EverUreen
S�reet, remained R-?.
I have never been able to understand why because the apartment buildin� that ?
have no�v was already built and therefore was in R-1#. territory, 6ut yet the
territory was zoned R-2.
I have plans here that show the ori�inal lay-�ut af 2$ units, which neces,itates
the buil,ding oF another unit similar to the present i�FAIRWAYt� AFARTM�NTS, and btioo
more gara;es similar to the one alreadv buil� with 1�. units above each one oi the
�ara;es. These plans were drawn u� in 1952.
I request, therefore, that lats 1, 2, 3, 1� and 5 in Black B of Fai.rview Subd3vision
be chan;e� to R-4 so that, from time to time, additional iznits can be put up to
e�rentually appr�ach the 2$ unit �otal shown on the original plan, which can be
done with an R-4. zoning, but cannot k�e dor.e with ar. R-2 zoz�in�, but yet could have
been dane with the old R-2 zoning.

Snasmuciz as the City Commission felt that iKr. RobertTs request fqr the re-zaning
o£ his property on tha N.Vl. Corner of Woodlawn St, and South Greenwood Ave. was
not a matter �or referendum but should be handled as a hardship case, the Board
hereby approves the request of the petition under the hardship rulin� as follows:
The strip of property 200t deep on th� ti^Test side of Greenwood Ave. between Woodlawn
St. anc: KinUsley St., be chanbed from the presEnt R-4 zoning to Business zoning.
The Board is maicin� this recommendation due �o the fact that the area nn t he

procesd without undue delay. In regard ta ali projects undertaken during the

the Bankers to determine the feasibili�y of a11 aspects of the programs and the
type of financing most apprapriate to the purp�se.
2. The Bankers iaill pay all of the expenses necessary for the issuance of
the bonds and revenue certificates, including the cost of the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm o£ bond attorneys, the printing of the bond and
revenue certificates, and all oth�r expenses incident to their issuance, inclu�ling
all expenses entailed by the Bankers in connection with their services to be
rendered to the Gity; provided, hawever, �hat the City shall pay its own attorney
or aitorneys for services rendered to the City in connection with all projects
und���}�aken during the term her�of.
3. �'he bond attorneys will work hand in hand with th� City's attorney and
prepare all of the ordinances and other legal proceedings necessary .for good
delivery of thE bonds and revenue certificates.
4. For the services and expense4 hereiinabove set �����+ for the ball park
praject, the City agrees tG pay to the said Banker a�ee not •to exee�d 1.90 per

been paid to the Bankers, the City is relieved of all obligatxons to the Bankers.
If, during the term of this agreement,'th� Citq uses the services of anp o�tner
