Commissioner Strang moved that the bids be referred to the City Manager for consideration and returned at the earliest possible meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. It was reported by the City Manager that eight sealed bids had been received ror the supplying and laying of approximately 710 lineal feet or 48" corrugated storm sewer pipe, construction of 4 manholes and construction of 350 feet of ditch on Palm Bluff Street, east of West Avenue. The bids were read as rollows: w. L. Cobb Constr. Co., Tampa W. D. Owens Constr. Co., Clearwater Lawrence & Rutledge, Largo Stanfield Construction Co., Tampa E. H.

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Mayor stated the City Manager had informed him that no bids had been received for purchase and development of the submerged land on the south side of Stevenson ~reek in the vicinity of North Fort Harrison and Calumet Street but that a letter on the subject had been received from Messrs. J. R. Billet and ~. H. Williams. Commissioner Crown said that he and Commissioner Bates had read the letter, and since it is quite long and detailed, he thought it needed careful study but to swnrnari.ze it Billet &. Williams thought the requirements were too stringent. The Mayor suggested that the letter be referred to the City Manager to distribute copies to each Commissioner. The City Attorney reminded the Commission that December 31, 1953, is the expiration date on the effectiveness of the $1,000.00 bond which Billet and Williams had posted to guarantee a bid on the property. The Mayor requested the City Manager to have the matter put back on the agenda for the next regular meeting, December 21st. The City Manager reported that he had received three bids for one minimum car (40,000 lbs. or approximately 11,000 feet) of 2" galvanized pipe. The bids were read as follows: :1" Knight &. Wall Co., Tampa .3006 per lin. ft. Cameron-Barkley Co., Tampa .3403 tf " " Burt Lowe Supply Co., Tampa .3400 " " rr The City Manager recommended that the low bid of Knight & Wall be accepted. Commissioner Strang moved that the City Manager's recommendation be accepted and that Knight & Wall be awarded the bid at .3006 cents per foot. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. .';-" .

He said the Engineer had written a letter to eech or the two low bidders inquiring as to whether it would cost more than the original bid to install the Yeoman Brothers eauipment. The City Attorney read a letter from the Smith-Sweger Construction Company, the low bidder at $35,343.00, which stated that they would ,use Yeoman equipment on the job at an additional cost of $2,000.00. The City Engineer recommended accepting the low bid of Smith-Sweger Construction Company and also recommended using the Yeoman Brothers equipment as included in the specifications. The City ~nager reported "In regard to financing this sewer project, we were planning on having the Skycrest Sewage Disposal Plant assessments out and enough of the assessments paid in to start this project. We have $1~7,OOO.OO tied up in the Disposal Plant now. With the Mandalay project and the Skycrest Disposal Plant project still pending and not assessed, we are asking for at least a 30 day lay-over on this project. We have another $50,000.00 to put out on Mandalay before we can start collecting anything. We have spent $47,200.00 on it now." Mr. W. D. Owens who 'Was present said that it \'tOuld be agreeable to them to present their first estimate on February 1, 1954. Commissioner Crown moved that the sanitary sewer project north of Stevenson Creek be awarded to the low bidder, Smith-Sweger Construction Company, on the basis of the first estimate to be presented for payment February 1, 1954, and with the further provision that the City ~'lanager and the City Engineer can make the substitution of the more expensive pneumatic ejector if they see fit. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the proposed 30 foot pavement and curbs on Missouri Avenue from Court to Cleveland Street and an an sanitary sewer on Missouri Avenue from a point 190 feet north of Gould Street northerly to Cleveland. The City Attorney r8ad a letter from Mr. Floyd T. Christian, Superintendent of Public Instruction, stating that the Board of Public Instruction had no objection to Missouri Avenue being paved adjoining Williams Elementary School but that it would not benefit the school in any way since the school faces Madison Avenue and Rlready has sanitary sewer and a paved street. He requested that the Commission declare the School Board exempt from assessment for this paving and sanitary sewer. The City ~anager said the estimate of the cost or the project included $2,000.00 which would be assessed against the Board of Public Instruction. It was suggested by both Commissioner Strang and the Mayor that the Commission meet with the School board ~nd endeavor to work out some agreement relative to the improvement assessment. The Mayor suggested that the Commissioners get together and frame a response to the letter. The Manager further reported that the Engineer's estimate of cost was $4.00 per front foot for the paving and $1.90 per front foot for the sanitary sewer. The Mayor inquired if there were any objections rrom anyone in the audience and there were none. There being no valid objections, Commissioner Cro~m moved that the project covering the paving and sanitary sewer on Missouri Avenue from Cleveland to Court Street be approved and advertised for bids. Motion "Was seconded by CommiBsioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on constructing a five foot concrete sidewalk on the east side of Greenwood Avenue from Palm Bluff Street to Marshall Street. The City Manager estimated that the cost would be $2.09 per foot or a total cost of $2,274.00. He stated that the School Board's letter on the Missouri Avenue paving project would also apply to this sidewalk as the School Board's assessment on this project would amount to approximately $500.00. The Mayor asked if there were any objections from anyone in the audience and there were none. Having heard no valid objection, Commissioner Bates moved that the project of installing a five foot concrete sidewalk on the east side of Greenwood Avenue rrom Palm Bluff to ~arsh~ll Street be approved and the necessary steps as to advertising for bids be taken. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried 1..1nanimous ly . In answer to an inquiry from Commissioner Russell, the City Engineer stated that the Seminole side~alk project was delayed due to the fact that the City has to acquire additional right-or-way from private owners. A Public Hearing was announced by the Mayor on the request of Mr. M. L. Chapman for a 15 foot building setb~ck line instead of 25 feet on Brandon Avenue for Lot ~, Block C, and Lot 5, Block B, New Marymont Subdivision. The City Attorney read a let.ter from Mr. Chapman explaining his request. He also read the recommendation of the Zoning Board which \~as that the request be denied since the Board felt there was no hardship involved as these lots are gl feet in width. Commissioner Bates moved th~t the Commission concur in the recommendation of the Zoning Board to deny the application for a 15 foot setback on Lot 4, Block C, and Lot 5, Block B, New Narymont Subdivision. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the request of Mr. Frank Photiadis for a 15 foot building setback line instead of 25 feet on Brandon Avenue for Lot 5, Block C, and Lot 4, Block F, New i~arymont Subdivision. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Photiadis explaining his request. He reported that the recommenda- tion of the Zoning board was that the request be denied since the Board felt there was no hardship involyed as these lots are 81 feet in width. Mr. Photiadis was present and addressed the Commission asking that the request be granted. Commissioner Bates moved that the request of Mr. Frank Photiadis for a 15 foot building setback on Brandon Avenue for Lot 5, Block C, and Lot 4, Block F, New Marymont Subdivision, be denied in accordance with the recommendation of the Zoning Board. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. ,"~ d!l , " , '1 '/ , I , 1 '-:i"~ ~~l ; '''.;., ,.J , . 1 I i 1 I 1 I ,; ,.'

The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Wolf explaining the request. He also read the recommenda- tion of the Zoning Board which was that the request be granted as they felt that since Lot 26 is 180 feet deep the erection of another single family dwelling would not crowd the existing garage apartment. Commissioner Bates moved that the Commission concur in the recommendation of the Zoning Board and that the Commission grant the permission to erect a single family dwelling in front of the present garage apartment on Lot 26, Block 24, Magnolia Park Subdivision. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. A Public Hearing was announced by the Mayor on the storm sewer to serve all of Grandview Terrace Subdivision. The City Manager requested that the hearing be postponed so that the property owners in that area can ~et together at a preliminary hearing to decide just exactly \'Jhat they want done. Mr. Henry Lowe addressed the COlnmission urging that the Commission take immediate steps to remedy the situation. Mr. Ed. S. Whitson addressed the Commission stating that his property has a natural drainage toward the lake and would receive no benefit whatever from the proposed project. The Mayor suggested that the City Manager have the drainage of the ditch along the north side of Drew Street checked to see that the culverts are draining properly. The IVlayor summarized the discussion as follows: nIt is my understanding that you approve of the smaller project, and that this would be talked over again with the owners of property located in the area designated by the Engineer as being contributive to the drainage problem. In other words, we will set up a smaller district and the residents will bear the cost on a pro rata basis of the drainage that is put in." Commissioner Bates moved that this'Public Hearing be adjourned to the next regular meeting of the Commission on December 21st and that in the meantime the City Manager and the City Engineer either or both will appear with this proposed plan (which is our first original plan) before the Grandview Terrace Association on Thursday, December 10th, at 8:00 P.M., and give them an opportunity to review it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. In regard to the request of Alley, Rehbaum and Capes, Inc., for a driveway across the parkway area on the southwest corner of North Fort Harrison and Sunburst Court, the City Attorney read a report showing that Lot 7, Sunburst Court, was assessed for paving Sunburst Court Street; however, the improvement liens and taxes for 1937 and prior years were written off by the City on October 4, 1938, in the total amount of $1,487.93; the total amount of taxes and improvements also written off for Lots 2 through 9, inclusive, (including Lot 7) was i5,2l8.7l. The City Attorney said that the answer to the question as to whether or not this property was assessed for the paving of Sunburst Court was in the negative. Mr. Wm. Alley addressed the Commission and stated that his company had paid $12,500.00 face value delinquent tax notes for settlement of all taxes and liens on certain Iota. Having heard this COlmnittee report on the request of Alley, Rehbaum and Capes for a driveway acros~ the park area on the southwest corner of North Fort Harrison and Sunburst Court, vommissioner Strang moved that the application be denied, without ' barring them from presenting proof at a later date that they have paid the assess- ments, if such proof is found. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. Mr. Brannan Casler, attorney, addressed the Commission on behalf of Mr. Fitzwater and the En Vee Corporation asking an extension of sidewalk on the north side of Cleveland Street easterly from Greenwooct Avenue to the new theatre which the Corporation will open soon. Commissioner Crown moved that a Public Hearing be set up for December 21st covering a sidewalk on the north side of Cleveland insofar as said sidewalk does not already exist between the En Vee Corporation property and Greenwood and that at the same time bids be accepted for immediate construction of said sidewalk. Motion ~las seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. '-. ~ ."w.;->~ \ "I'",..F J 1 j 1 ! i ,\ ., & 1 i l i I I \ i J I . .I ~ I 1 I I I I \ i. . I >i .' I I I I 't . ',I .'

Demetrius for a trailer park permit for 2~OO Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard (N.E. corner of Gulf-to-Bay and Belcher Road). The City ~ngineer reported that the plans had been approved by the State Board of Health but that he had asked for additional percolation tests by the County Board of Health on this property because the trailer park immediately east of this property was having difficulty with their septic tanks. By consent, the matter was deferred until a report can be obtained from the County Board of Health on additional percolation tests and a certificate that the area is suitable for septic tank use. Regarding the letter from Lewis Homer concerning the drainage assessments in Homewaters Subdivision, the City Attorney reported that there was no written or verbal agreement but that the original situation was this -- Mr. Homer was con- templating platting Homewaters Subdivision on: Edgewater Drive and there was an easement at that time considered necessary for storm drainage. He said a tentative arrangement was made with Mr. Homer that if he would give an easement for the storm sewer line he would not be assessed for the cost of the sewer. After that time, the plans changed so Mr. Homer planned to go ahead and plat his property and the storm sewer was run down the street right-of-way. Mr. Homer addressed the Commission saying that the City installed the pipe and began work before the subdivision was platted as the plat was not approved by the Commission until June 15, 1953. The Mayor suggested that a Committee from the Commission be appointed to investigate. Commissioner Crown moved that the Mayor appoint a two man Committee to study the matter and make a recommendation at the next regular meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor appointed Commissioners Strang and Russell as a Committee to check on this matter. "" .-~.- ~"--.- ~. . '. .

Commissioner Crown reported that he had talked with some of the television dealers concerning the ordinance and they had suggested.changes in it. The Mayor suggested that the television dealers meet with the City ruanager, Mr. B. J. Driver, Assistant City Attorney, and any of the Commissioners who wish to attend, to revise the Ordinance where needed. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Karl F. Rehbaum, President of the Multiple Listing ~ervice, Inc., requesting permission to construct two at x 30' billboards on Lot 5, Block 2, Magnolia Park Subdivision, for tho purpose of acquaint- ing newcomers with the multiple listing procedure for purchasing real estate in Clearwater. The City Attorney suggested that the Commission request the Zoning Board to ascertain whether certain physical requirements stated in the Sign Ordinance are met by this application. The Mayor commented that this was a very undesirable location from the City's viewpoint. Commissioner Bates remarked that if this petition were granted, it would set a precedent in the event that the independent realtors should request such a sign, the Con~ission would be obligated to grant their requests also. By consent, the matter was referred to the Zoning Board. " ,""', '\ }:.:' '\" .....~/~ . J , .....,u't"J...... ! . .."" . .,:" . I i I , t I I :j I I I 'I /'. ' d." ,., , .~"': .. . . ',-. , .' Mr. Ben Krentzman, on behalf of the Clearwater Contractors' Association, submitted an Ordinance (Ordinance 648) relative to the examining and licensing of general contractors. Mr. Krentzman explained the various sections o~ the Ordinance as proposed by the Association. Followin~ discussion, it was suggested that the Ordinance be passed at this time on first reading and that any necessary amendments could be made on successive readings. The City Attorney read Ordinance 648 in full. Con~issioner Crown moved that Ordinance 648 be passed on its first reading. Motion was seconded by Cornmissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Mayor read a letter ~rom the Clearwater Beach A~sociation requesting the Commission to change the name of Mandalay Avenue to Mandalay Road. Mr. H. P. Fox addressed the Commission opposing the change to Mandalay Road and suggested calling it Mandalay Boulevard. The Mayor suggested asking the merchants for a petition as to their preference. Commissioner Bates was of the opinion that such a petition had already been signed and presented to the Association and that the Association's action had come from the petition. By consent, the matter was re~erred to Co~qissioner Bates to present the comments of the Commission to the Clearwater Beaci. Association.

He presented a work order for $435.00 to cover the lighting for the new courts and the eight adjoining courts in front of the grandstand. Commissioner Crown moved the work order be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. The City Attorney presented a Hesolution addressed to the State Road Board requesting them to resurface and repair Alternate Route 19 (Fort Harrison Avenue) and Route 60 (Gu1f~to-Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street); also, requesting them to resurface, repair and widen Route 590 (Drew Street); further asking the Pinellas County Commission to join in the request. During the discussion, it was suggested that the widening of the Clearwater Causeway drawbridge be included in the Resolution. Commissioner Strang and the Mayor thought it would be better to have a separate Resolution on the bridge and the Mayor suggested that the City Attorney be instructed to draw up such a Resolution for presentation at a later date. Commissioner Strang moved that the Resolution be passed and adopted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. The Chief of Police explained a proposed one year contract in which the City and the County as joint operators o~ the police radio station join in employing Mr. Blanks A. Everitt as radio technician to repair, maintain and install radio equipment in the mobile equipment and maintain and service the base equipment. The City Wanager and the Chief of Police recommended that the contrHct be accepted. The Manager stated that it had been read by the Sheriff and the County Commission. Commissioner Bates moved that subject to the approval of the City Attorney, the proper officials be authorized to execute the contract. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Manager stated that the deed from the Gulf Oil Corporation for the apex of the triangle at Northeast Cleveland and Drew Street had been accepted by the Commission with the provision that the Gulf Oil Corporation would pave this portion they were dedicating to the City. The Manager reported that the Gul~ Oil Corporation had now done this and the City had repaved the adjoining section of the street. Commissioner Crown moved that the deed from the Gulf Oil Corporation be accepted subject to the approval of the City Attornel. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City ~Aanager stated that the representative of the Florida Power Corporation had said that in due time they hoped to move the power pole now at this location but that they could not do it in the near ~uture. i~ '"" 'I. ......

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Commissioner Bates called attention to the fact that according to the October report the City had spent $75,000.00 in the first four months of the ~iscal year on capital improvements in the Water Department, and that it was his opinion that it was not sound business policy to continue to operate by paying for extensions out of utility revenue and that the City should secure money either by the sa~8 of bonds or by revenue certificates to cover capital improvements. The City Manager presented a Resolution requiring twenty-nine property owners to clean their lots of weeds and underbrush. Commissioner Crown moved the Resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by Cownissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Commissioner Crown inquired ir it would be possible to set up some means of paVing a dedicated alley lying east of Lots 16-45, inclusive, Clearwater Beach Park First Addition. He reported that many of the business people on Mandalay had requested that it be opened and paved. The Mayor sugges~ed instructing the City Manager to have a preliminary hearing on it. The City ~anager said he would like to have an expression from the Commission as to ~hat the basis for payment should be. Commissioner Crown suggested that the owners or the lots fronting on Mandalay p'ay 50%, the owners of the lots on Poinsettia to pay 25% and the City to pay 25%. By consent, the matter was referred to the City Manager and the City Engineer to set up a preliminary hearing. , The Commission now adjourned as the City Commission and acting as Trustees of the Pension Fund, on a motion by Commissioner Strang which was s ecohtled by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously, admitted Charles C.

Very truly yours, SMITH-SWEGER CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. /s/ John B. Sweger John B. Sweger Mr. Francis Middleton, City Manager City of Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Middleton: December 1, 1953 Confirming our conversation of this date, I wish to request that the Board of Public Instruction of Pinellas County be exempt from paying any assessments on the public improvements made on Missouri Avenue includin~ the construction of curbing and a thirty-foot pavement and the construction of an 8" sanitary sewer. While our abutting property, Williams Elementary School, has 315' on Missouri Avenue, this is an unimproved area and would not benefit the public school system in any way by having this street and sewer line put through. Our school faces on Madison Avenue, which is a paved street and has the location of the sanitary sewer running down to the school site. There will be some expense to the Board should this street be put through, in that we will have to fence it off to prevent our children from being injured in automobile accidents. Since the City of Clearwater and the Board of Public Instruction are jointly working together on the improvement of playground areas and the use of school property by the City of Clearwater, it would seem appropriate that the Council take action necessary to exempt us from any assessment on these improvements. We wish to make it clear that we are in no way opposed to the improvements that are being planned for on Missouri Avenue, but are only asking in view of our cooperative arrangement on other properties that the assessment for these improve- ments for school property be exempt. Sincerely yours, /s/ Floyd T. Christian Superintendent of Public Instruction pjo ------------------------------------------------------~------------------------~- To: From: Subject: F. C.

Batstone, Chairman Of The Zoning Planing Board Dear Sir: I am writing you in regards to two lots in New Marymont Subdivision, (Lot 4 Block C and Lot 5 Block B) of which I am the owner. The object of this letter is to request an exception to the city zoning law requiring a twenty five feet set back on the side street in the case of corner lots. The two above mentioned lots fall in the class of corner lots although the rlorth- south avenue (Wilson Ave) is not at present a reality, their being only a right of way for such and it is at present a drainage canal. The usual procedure in building on a corner lot is to face from the longer. side of the lot, in which case a twenty five feet set back is no hardship. However, in the case of the above mentioned two lots it would work a hardship in that it is necessary to face upon Corona St. which is from the smaller side of the lot. To be specific both lots have eighty feet frontage on Corona St., With a twenty five feet set back on one side and seven and half feet on the other side, the building frontage is restricted to forty seven and half feet. My request is that the set back from the side avenue (right of way) be relaxed, on these two lots, to conform with the deed restrictions which require a fifteen feet set back from the side street. While this mayor may not be pertinent to my plea, I purchased these lots in June of 1953 and the deed restrictions given me, which only called for a fifteen feet set back from the side street, were accepted by the city on Feb. 25, 1953; but as I understand it, the city law requiring a twenty five feet set back was enacted in December of 1952. Should not the deed restrictions have met the minimum city restrictions? Thanking you for your consideration on this matter, I remain Yours Sincerely, M. L. Chapman 1930 E.

The design of these billboards is as per attached sketch. We wish to point out that this sign is not for the purpose of advertising any individual business, but rather to acquaint newcomers with the multiple listing procedure for purchasing real estate in Clearwater. We feel this sign is in the public interest. In '~ormer years our city was defaced with a multitude o~ signs on individual properties; this situation was eliminated on all properties listed by the 31 members of the Multiple Listine Service. We feel that the continued growth of Clearwater is o~ prime importance to all and that the Multiple Listing Service is a major contributing factor to this growth. For the above reasons it is our conviction that the construction of this sign is within the purposes of the sign control ordinances of the City of Clearwater. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The above was in the form of a petition from merchants along what is now known as Mandalay Ave. Insofar as past records indicate the road was originally called Manda1ay Road because at the time the song: "The Road to !V!andalay" was popular.

Coanmissioner Crown said that he and Commissioner Batas had read the letter, and since it is quite long and detailed, he thought it needed careful study but to surru-narize it �illet & �4illiams thought the requirements were too stringent. The Mayar suggested that the letter be referred to the City Manager to distribute copies to each Commissianer.

The City Attorney read a le�ter from Mr. Wolf exp].aining the request. He al�o read the recommenda- t�on of the Zonina �oard which was that the request be granted as they felt that since Lot 26 is 1�0 fee�t deep the erection of another single family uwel2ing would not crawd the existing garage aparbment. Commissioner Bates moveci �hat the Gommission concur in the recommendatzon of the Zoning Board and that the Gommission gra�at the permission to erect a single family dwel�ing in front o£ the pressnt garage apartment on Lot 26, Block 2J�, Magnolia Park Subdivision.

Mr. Ed. 5. Whitson add:essed the Commission stating that his property has a natural drainage toward the "lake and wauld receive no benefit whatever from the proposed project. The Mayor suggested th�t the City Manager have tY:e drainage of �he ditch along the north side of Drew Street checked to see that the culverts are draining properly. The Mayor summarized the discussion as follows: "It is my understanding tliat you apprave of the smaller groject, and that this would 'oe talked over again with the owners of property located in the area designated by the Engineer as being contrinutive to the drainage problem. In other words, we will set up a smaller district and the residents will bear the cost on a pro rata basis of the drainage that is put in.° Commissioner Bates moved that this'Public Hearing be adjourned to the next regular meeting of the Commission on December 21st and that in the msantime the City iKanager and the City Engineer either or both will appear with this proposed plan (which is our s"irst original plan) before the GrandvieNt Terrace Association on Thursday, December lOth, at $:00 P.M., and give them an opportunity �o review it.

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Cro�,m and carried unanimously. Mr. Brannan Casler, attorney, addressed the Commission on behalf of .Nir, Fitzwater and the En Vee Corporation asking an extension of sidewalk on th� north side of Cleveland Street easterly from Greenwooci Avenue to the new theatrE which the Corporation will open soon. Commissioner Crown moved that a Public Hear�ing be set up for December 21st covering a sidewalk on the north si.de of Cleve�•.nd insofar as said sidewalk does not already exist between the En Vee Corporation progerty and Greenwood and that at the same time bids be accepted :for immediate construction of said sidewalk.

Demetrius for a trailer park permit for 2200 Gulf-to�Bay Boulevard (N.E, corner of Gulf-to-Bay and BeZch�r Road). The City Lngineer xeported that the plans had been approved by �he State Board of Health but that he had asked for additiona7. percolation tests by the County Board of Health on this property because the trailer park iunmediately east of this property was havino difficulty with their septic tanks.

Regarding the letter from Lewi.s Homer concerning the drainage assessments in Homewaters Subdivision, the City Attorney repor�ed that there was no written or verbal agreement but that �he original situation was this -- NIr. Homer was con- templating platting Homewaters Subdivision on`Edgewater Drive and there was a� easement at �hat time considered necessary for storm drainage. He said a ten'�ative arrangement was made with Mr. Homer that if he would give an easement for the storm sewer line he would not be assessed for the cos� of the sewer. r�fter that time, the plans changed so Mr. Homer planned to go ahead and plat his property a.nd the storra sewer was run down the street right-of-trays Nir. Homer addressed the Commission saying that the City iristalled the pipe and began work before the subdivision was platted as the plat was not approved by the Commissinn until June 15, 1953. The Ma�yor suggested that a Committee from the C�mmission be appointed to investigate. Commissioner Crown moved that the P�iayor appoint a two man Committee to study the matter and make a recommendation at the next regular meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.

The City Attorney suggested that the Commission request the Zoning Board t� ascertain whether certain physical requirements sta�ed in the Sign Ordinance a.re met by this application. The A�Iayor commented th2t this was a very undesirable location from the Cityss viewpoint. Commissioner Bates remarked that if �his petition were granted, it woulcl set a precedent in the even� that the independent realtors should request such a sign, the Commission weuld be obligated to grant their requests also. By consent, the matter was referred to the Zoning Board. Mr. Ben Krentzman, on behalf of the Clearwater Contractors' Association, submitted an Ordinance (Ordinance 61�$} relative to the examining and licensing of general contrac�ors.

Fox addressed the Commission opposing the change toj�andalay N.oad and sugoested calling it Mandalay Boulevard. The Mayor suggested asking the merchants for a petition as to their preference. Commissioner Bates was of the opinion that such a peti�tion had already been signed and presented to the Association and that the Assoaiation's action had come from the petition. By consent, the matter was referred to Comn�issioner Bztes to presen� the comments of the Commission to the Clearwater Beach Association. 3n regard to the work order for 1i;hting the new additional Shuffleboard �ourts on Osceola Avenu� and Pierci; Street, the City �anager explained that the lighting was not included in the w�rk order to construct the new courts and the Shufflebaard Club members, theinselves, had spen� from �700000 to �1,000.00 to corzstruct a new grandstand.

Myrtle Ave. Telephone 31�-5111 Clearwater, Florida City of Clearwa'�er Clearwater, Florida Attention: I�r. 5id Lickton, City Engineer Gentl.emen: November 23, 1953 In reply to your verbal request concerning the sewage ejection equipment for the Stevenson Creek project, our bid was based on the equipment manufactured by �he Blackburn-Smith Company of Hoboken, New Jersey. (Continued) CITY C�NIMISSION M�ETING December 7, 1953 (Continued) In our estimation, this equipment meets the intent of the specifications of this job. There are a few minor differ�nces between this equipment and the equipmen� called for in the specifications. We fee1, however, that this equipment is allowable under your section o£ the specifications which state, TTNlaterial or work described in words which so applied have a well known technical or trade meaning shall be held to refer to such recognized standards.�� The equipmer.t refereed to above has been installed in a large number oi municipalities and U. S. Government installations, As far as we can determine this equipment is equal bo that manufa��ured by Yoemans Brothers Company. In the event the City of Clearwater wants to use Yeomans equipment on this job, we will i'urr�ish it for an additional �2,000.00. I trust that this is the ir_format�.on you desired. Very truly yours, SMITH-SWEGER CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. /s/ John B. Sweoer �ohn B. Sweger Nr. Francis Middleton, City i'llanager December l, 1953 City oi Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. NIiddleton: Confir.ming our conversation of this d ate, I�.sh to request that the Board of Public Instructiun of Pinellas County be exempt from paying any assess�ents on the publ�c improvements made on Missotu i Avenue includin� the construction of curbing and a thirty-foot pavement and the construction of an $t� sanitary sewer. While our abutting property, Williams Elementary School, has 315° on i�lissouri Avenue, this is an unimproved area and would not benefit the public school system in any way by having this street and sevrer line put thr,ough. Our school faces on Madison Aaenue, whicr� is a paved street and has the location of the sanitarp sewer running down to the school site. There wi11 be some expense to the Board should this street be put through, in that we will have to fence it off to prev�nt our children from being injured in automobile accidents. Since the City of Clearwater and �he Board of Public Instruction are jointly working together on the improveraent of playground areas and tl�e use of school proper�y by the City of Clearwater, it would seem appropriate that the Cauncil take action necessary to exempt us from any assessment on these improvements. We wish tq make it clear that we are in no way opp�sed to the improvements that are beir_g planned for on Missouri Avenue, but are only a sking in view of our cooperative arrangement on other groperties that the assessment for tnese improve- ments for sa�:ool property be exempt. Siricerely yours, /s/ Floyd T. Christian p�° Superintender�t of Public Instruction �o: F. C. Middle�on, City iyianager From: 0. H. Anderson, Secty. Zoning Board Subject: Request o£ M. L.

Chapman asking for a 15'0" building li:ne setback irstead of the regular 25'0T� on Lot �., Block C and Lot 5, Block B, New Marymont Subdivision. The Board fe�ls that there is no haraship involved as the plat of this subdivision shovrs these lots in question to be $1�0�� in rrridth< Attached herewith is a copy of T�1r. �hapman's request, also a plat o� Kew Marfmont Subdivision. 2- 9� z�7 CITY CONIMISSTON MEETiNG Decembar 7, 1953 October 14, 1953 Mr, John K. Batstone, Chairman 0� The Zoning Pl.ani_ng Board Dear Sir: I am writing you in regards to two lots in I�ew Marymont Subdivision, (Lo� �. Block C and L�t 5 Block B) of which I am the owner. The object of this letter is to request an exception to the city zoning law requir•ing a twenty five feet set back on the side street in the case of aorner lots, The two above mentioned lots fall in the class of corner lo�s although the north- south avenue (Wilson Ave) is not at presen'� a reality, their being only a right of way for sueh and it is at pre.sent a dra�,nage canal. The usual procedure in building on a corner lot is to face from the longer•side of tlze lot, in which case a twenty fiv� feet set back is no hardship. However, in the cas� of the above mentioned two lots it would work a hardship in that it is necessary to face upon Corona St. which is from the smaller side of the lot. To be specific both lots have eighty feet frontage on Corona St., With a twenty five feet set back on one side and seven and half feet on the other. side, the building frontage is restricted to forty seven and half feet. My request is that the set back from the side avenue (right of way) be relaxed, on these two lots, to conform with the deed restrictions which require a fifteen feet set back from the side str,eet. While this may or may not be pertin�nt to my plea., I purchased these lots in June of 1953 and the deed restrictians �iven me, which anly called for a fifteen feet set back from the side street, were accepted by the city on Feb. 25, 1953; but as I understand it, the city law requiring a twenty five feet set back was enacted in December of 195z. Should not �he deed restrictions have met the minimum city restrictions? Thanking you for your consideration on this matter, I remain Yours Sincerely, M. LD Chapman i93o E.

Zoning Board Subject: Request of Frank Photiades The Zoning Board recommends the denial oi the request (under the hardship ruling) of ;r'rank Phot�.ades asking for a 15°O1t building line setback instead of the regular 25fOti on Lot 5, Block C and Lot 1�, Block F, New Marymont Subdivision.

Because of the his�ory of the �railer park immediatel� east cf this propo�ed trailer park, the City Engineer requestad addii-�ional percolation tests to be made in th�.s area. The results of the percola- tion tests made by the County Health Department are attached hereto, (Continued) L �� CTTY CONIMISSION MEETING December 7, 1953 (Continued) The two recent tests indicate that this area is unfit foa• sepbic tank m�thod for sewage disposal. It is therefore recommended by this office thab the request of I�Ir. Demetrius be denied, until suitaUle means of sewage disposal is provided on the plans. These plans were also reviewed by Mr. Paul Kane, Supt. of Public Service, and it is bhe recommendation of this office and Mr. Kane�s office that when these plans are approved, the plans be drawn to conform to the plumbing code of the City of Cleartaater. cc: Vlr.

Permi�sion to construct two $� x 30� Billboards on Zot 5, Block 2, Magnalia Park Subdivision, is h�reby requested. 2. The design of these billboards is as per attached sketch. 3. We wish to point out that this sign is not .For the purpose of adver�ising any indivS.dual business, but rather to acquaint newcomers with the multiple listing procedure for purchasing real estate in Clear�vater. 4. We :�eel this sign is in the public interest. In 'former years our city was defaced with a multitucie of signs on individua�. properties; this situation was eliminated on all properties listed by the 31 members of the Mul�iple Listing Service. 5• We feel that the continned growth of Cleartivater is of prime importance to all and that the Multzple Listing Service is a major contr.ibuting factor to this growth. 6. For the above reasons it is our co�viction tha� the construction of this sign is witnin the purposes oi the sign control ordinances of the City of Clearwater. Yours very truly, /s/ Karl F.
