The Area playoffs were very successful with 4 teams competing. There were 72 players and coaches in all. These teams had a Collowing in excess of 300 people here during the playofr week, which left guita a sum of money with our merchants and restaurants. The teams spent nearly '1,600.00 for food. I can verify this as I saw their expense reports. We had very fine support from Eddie Moore and Joe Everett of the Recreation Department, for which we are very grateCull.

Barger, Jr., Owner) 40 Devon Drive, Clearwater Beach Gentlemen: On behalf of Mr. Earnest A. Barger, Jr., Owner of the above mentioned motel, we wish to file a protest with you regarding the passage of the ordinance which would prohibit the posting by motels of signs showing their rates. Mr. Barger states that such a prohibition is unfair both to the public and to the operators. He has asked that we call your attention to the entirely satisfactory record of the past summer, when sighs were permitted showing s~er rates, as compared with other seasons when price signs were not used. He has asked further that we cite the approval given to such signs by the Florida Motel Court Journal and other State agencies. Not only does he feel that such signs are advantageous from the standpoint or good business practice, but he calls your attention to the fact that the erection ot such signs was approved by permits issued by the City, and that motel owners have invested considerable sums in neon signs in the belief that they would be allowed to use them. He strongly urges that price signs be encouraged for the good of the entire community, rather than that they be prohibited.

The Zoning Board recommends the denial of the request of Alley, Rehbau~ and Capes for the use of Park area in Sunburst Court Subdivision, as long as the propertj in question is designated as Public Park.

(. , 1;'~~i1j~~'lt. October 9, 1953 Charles M. Phillips, Esq. Bank of Clearwater Building Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Phillips: I am writing you at the request of Alley, Rehbaum and Capes, Inc., who are the owners of the following described property located in the City of Clearwater: Lots 1-7 inclusive, Sunburst Court Subdivision, according to the map or plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 13, page 46 of the public records of Pinellas County, Florida. You will note from an examination of the plat of said subdivision that a small area immediately adjacent to Lot 7 and lying between it and the street known as Sunburst Court is designated as "Park". The plat contains the usual statement of the subdivider that "I hereby dedicate to the perpetual us~ of the general public all streets, avenues, and parks as shown on said plat or said subdivision.". It is believed that the purpose of the subdivider in designating this small area as a park was to prevent the erection of a business building right up to the street line of Sunburst Court. This of course would adversely affect the residen- tial property lying West of the property fronting Fort Harrison, and would also be inconsistent with the restrictions contained in the pla.t that "no part of any building shall be nearer than 20 feet from the street line, except on the lots facing Fort Harrison Avenue". Our clients have parties who are interested in purchasing the above described property provided the City would have no objection to the construction of a driveway, solely for ingress and egress, over this area designated as a park. We further understand that the question has been referred to you for an opinion. Construction of this driveway would in no way obstruct the view of the other property owners in Sunburst Court. It would not be a private driveway but open to the general public, and, of course, would not be inconsistent with the set back requirements applicable to the residential lots in the subdivision. The area designated as "Park" is so small that it of course could never be used as a park in the generally accepted sense. 67 C.J.S., page 866 states: "Tpa word 'Park' is defined as meaning a piece of ground set aside and maintained for public use and laid out in such a way as to afford pleasure to the eye as well as opportunity for open air recreation." You will note that the subdivider placed no restriction against this property being used for any other purpose, and it is my understanding that property consti- tuted as public park, in the absence of an express restriction, may be used in any manner that will promote the public interest, provided it is not inconsistent with the purpose for which it is intended. It is submitted that to permit a portion of this area to be paved and used by the general public for the purpose of ingress and egress will not be inconsistent with the purpose for which this small area was intended. No appropriation for private use is contemplated. It would also appear that' to permit the paving of a portion of the "Park" would be consistent with the policy of the City which was established at the time a portion of the Coachman Park property was paved and converted into a parking area. I shall be pleased to discuss this matter with you further at any time and submit any additional information you may require. Yours respectfully, /s/ J. Tweed McMullen JTM:b ..,.

Nov. 13. at its regular meeting the Clearwater Federation of Garden Clubs had its attention called to a proposal to cut a driveway across the small parkway at the entrance to Sunburst Court. A motion was made that a vigorous protest be sent to the City Council against any such use of this city owned property which was accepted by the City to be held in trust for the people of Clearwater. This motion had several seconds and was passed by a vigorous and unanimous vote. The members of the Garden Club wish to go on record as opposed to the use of parkways for commercial purposes. In this particular parkway at the entrance to Sunburst Court the Club planted two Calistemon trees in June. hoping thereby to add to the attractiveness of the northern approach to the city. The club members earnestly request that the City Park Department continue to plant flowers and beautify those little parkways. .1... .',:' > Yours respect~ully, /s/ Mrs. Curtis Kyle Corresponding Secretary /s/ Miss AIleen Moon Chairman of Committee on Civic Cooperation ~~-~.------~--~-------------------------------------~~-~--~----~~---~~-~----~---~---- PETITION 401 Sunburst Court Clear~ater, Florida November 13, 1953 City Commission Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: We are in receipt o~ a letter prepared by Alley Rehbaum & Capes, Inc. regarding their request for permission to construct a driveway over the area designated as "Park'f on the map o~ Sunburst Court Subdivision. As owners of lots 43 and 44 Sunburst Court Subdivision immediately adjoining this Park area we are not signing their letter because we feel that, according to the terms and conditions under which this Subdivision was dedicated and accepted on October 25, 1925, we have no authority nor has anyone else the authority to give permission for such use of any part or the Park which was dedicated for perpetual. public use, and of course primarily for the benefit of property owners in the Subdivision.

I would suggest that Jack Russell contact Mr. Carpenter and if it is agreeable with the City Commissioners, you and Jack and I c09ld meet Mr. Carpenter in Atlanta. From what I understand from the architects, with the various reserves that have to be provided in the bond issue it will take spproximately $350,000 for the complete program. While I am confident that with the many uses for the park it ~ll be self-supporting, on the other hand, it will necessitate some further pledge of income to supplement the program. I would suggest that we pledge not all of the parking meter revenue, but just so much of the revenue as may be needed to provide the debt service coverage. It the City Commission is agreeable to pledging the revenues of the ball park, together with the revenues from the parking meters, when, as and if needed, I Mill proceed to have the certificate revenue ordinance prepared immediately and work can be begun on construction as soon as the contract with the Phillieo has been completed and the certificates validated. You understand that there is no ad valorem tax obligation required. In connection with the contract for water with Pinellas County, I have been giving this some thought and in view of the fact that this contract is 80 closely related to the water and sewer program "mich is being considered, I think it would be constructive for the City Commission to put me on the committee which you are to appoint to work out the contract. As you know, my fee from the city under my ~iscal agency contract is only on bonds issued by the city. I would be willing to serve on this committee without any fee or reimbursement ot expenses. I shall await your advices on these two matters. ~ours very truly, /s/ Wendell '. ,I, ~ , I' i I ; . I "..., '. " , . d ~. . (,'.' r.

Barger, Jr., Owner of the above mentioned motel, we vrish to f iZe a pr�test with you regarding the passage o� the ordinance wha.ch wou].d prohibit the posting by m�tels of signs showing their rates� Mr. Barger states that such a prqhibition is unfair bo�h to the public and to the ogerators, He has asked that we call your attention to the entirely sa�`isfactory record of the past summer, when signs were permitted shocving sunmer rates, as compar�d wzth other seasons when price signs were not used. He has asked further thaG we cite the approval given to such signs by the Florida Mptel �ourt Journal and other State agencies. Not only does he feel that such signs axe advantageous irom the standpoint of goad business p�actice, but he calls your attention to the fact that the erection of such signs was approved by permits issued by the City, and that motel owners h.ave invested considerable sums in neon signs in the belief that they wo�:Zd b� allowed to use thsm. He strongly urges that price signs be en�ouraged for the �ood of the ent.�.�e community, rather than that they be prohibited.

The Zoning Board recommends the denial of �he requsst of Al1ey, Rehbauc� and Capes for the use of Park area in Sunburst Court Subdivision, as long as the property in question is d�si�aa�ed as Public Parko The Boar.d feels that if this petition is to be considered the 1�nd in question should be redesigned as �TParkway Area" or ��Street Right-of-way" by proper l.egal � action. The Board further recommends in the event that the area is changed to TMParkway or Street Ri.ght-�f-way�� that only one entrance not zn ex_cess o£ thirty feet be permit��d and all the remaining area be maintained and protected as a planting park area. Attached herewith is five copies of Alley, Rehbaum and Gapes Inc, request. Charles M. Phillips, Esq. Bank of Clearv�ater Building Clearwater, Flarida Daar Mr. Phil.lips: October 9, 1g53 I am writing you at the reruest of Alley, Rehbaum and Capes, Inc., who are the owners of the zollowing described property located in the Rity of Clearwater: Lots 1-7 inclusive, Sunburst Court Subdivision, according ta the map or plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 13, page �.6 of the public re�ords of Pinellas County, Florida. You wi�? note from an examination of the plat of said su6division that a sma].1 area immediately adjacent to Lot 7 and 1yin; between it and the street known as Sunburst Court is designated as ttPark". The plat contains the usual statement o� the subdivider that ��I hereby dedica�e to the perpetual use of the general public all streets, avenues, and parks as shown on said plat af said subdivision.tt. It is believed that the purgose of the su'�divider ir designating this small area as a park was to preven�t the ereciion of a business building right up to the street line of Sunburst Cour�. This of course would adversely affect the reszden- tial property ly�ng West of the propert� f.ronting Fort Harrison, and would also be inconsistent with the restrictions contained in the plat that "no part of any building shall be nearer �han 20 feet from the street line, except on the lots .facing Fart Harrison Avenue°t. f3ur clients have parties who are interested in purchasing the above described propert� provided the City would have no objection to the cons�ruction of a drivevray, solely for ingress and egress, over this area designated as a park. V1e further understand that the question has been referred to you for an opinion. Construction of this driveway would in no way obstriict the view of the other property o�vners in Sunbarst Court. Tt would not be a private driveway but open to the general publi.c, and, of course, would not be inconsistent with the seL bGck requirements applicable to the rpsidential lots in the subdivision. The area designatad as P�Parktt is so small thajs it of course could never be used as a park in the generally accepted ser_se. 67 C.J.S,, page $66 states: "The word TPark' is definsd as meaniag a piece of ground set aside and maintained for public use and laid out in such a way as to afford pleasure to the eye as well as opportunity fpr open air recreation.tt You will note that the subdiviaer placed no restriction'against this proper�t.y being used for any other purpose, and it is my understanding that property cansti- tuted as public park, in the dbsence of an express restriction, may be used in any manner that will promote the public interest, provided it i� not inconsistsnt wi�h the purpose for which it is intended. I� is submitt�d that to permit a portion of this area to be paved and used ay the general publ.ic for the purpose oi ingress �nd egress will not be inconsistent with the purpose for which this sma11 area was inte�ded. No appropriation for p.ra.vate use is contemplated. It woul.d also appear that'to permit the paving of a portion of the TMParkt� would be consistent with the policy of the City which was estabJ.ished at the time a portion af the Coachman Park property was paved and converted into a parking area. I shall be pleased to discuss this matter with you further at any time and submit any additional information yoiz may require. uTTM:b Yours respec�fully, /s/ J.

Herbert Brorvn, Mapor Nov�moer 1i�, 1953 City of Clearwater Clearwater, Florida Dear Herbert: Supplementing my telephone conversation with you the other day, I haee been s�udying the various pos�ibilities of financing the construction of the new ball parko I think ii would be advantageous ior two of the members oi �he City Commission and me to �e8� with Mr. Carpenter as soon as possible to see what tqp2 of contract we can obtain from the PhiZlies. You state� that Mr. Carpenter was expected in Atlar�ta for a meeting shortl�. I would suggesi tY�at Jack Russ�ll con�act Mr. Carpenter and if it is agreeable with the City Commission�rs, you and Jack and I cog.ld meet Mr. Carpenter in Atlanta. From what I understand from the arehitects, with the variaus reserves that have to be provided in the bond issue it will take approximately �3�0,000 for the complete program. While I am confident that with the many uses fo r the park it will be self-supporting, on the other hand, it will necessitate some further pledge of income bo supplemen� the program. I would suggest that we pledge not all of the parking meter revenue, but just so much of the revenue as may be needed to provide the debt service coverage. If the City Commission is agreeabZe to pledging the revenues of the ball park, together with the revenues from the parking meters, when, as and if needed, I hn 11 proceed to have the certificate revenue ordinance prepared immediately and work can be begun an construction as soon as the contract r�ith the Phillies �as been completed and the certificatea validated. You understand that there is no ad valorem tax obli�ation requiresi. In connection with the cantract for water with Pinellas County, I taave bpett giving this some thought and in view of the fact that this contract is s� closely related to �he water and sewer �rogram which is b eing considared, I think it would be constructive for the Citq Commission to pu� me on the committee vrhich you are to appoint to work out the contract� As you know, my fee from the city under my fiscal agency contract is onif on bonds issued by tbe city. I would be willing to serae on this committ�o withou�C any fee or reimbursement of expenses, I shal� await your advices on these two matters. � i`ours verq trnly, /s/ Wendel.l R.
