Reynolds and Mr. Dick Patton, who presented plans and specifications for the proposed Ball Park. ~e plans and specifications were studied and discussed by the members of the Commission and the members of the Recreation Board. Several amendments were suggested by the Commissioners which were noted by the City Attorney for inclusion in the specifications. It was agreed that the contract should car~y a penalty of $100.00 a day if the construction was not completed within the 183 days set up in the specifications as construction time. The Mayor suggested that a clause be inserted in the specifications providing that certain areas adjacent to the stadium must be kept clear so that the parking lot and the playing field can be prepared. It was agreed that plans and specifications would be available at the office of R. W. Wakeling, Associate Architect, in Clearwater, and also at Marr and Holman's offices. The date of June 8th was set as a tentative date for the return of bids. The Mayor stated that the Contractors' Examining Board will be glad to cooperate with any and all contractors in scheduling examinations on short notice so that anyone who wants to bid on the job can do so. Commissioner Bates inquired as to whose responsibility it would be to see that the different parts of the work, such as installing the drainage, the scoreboard, preparing the field, etc., were coordinated and fitted in so that the work could be completed without delay. The Mayor replied that it would be the Architect's responsibility to set up a schedule to coordinate the different jobs and keep the Commission informed on the progress of the work. Following a question from Mr. Tack concerning the lighting for the stadium, it was suggested by the Mayor that a representative from the Florida Power Corporation be included in a conference to make a final study of the plans with the Architects and a Committee from the Commission to be held Wednesday, May 12th, at 10:00 A.M. Commissioner Russell moved that the City of Clearwater accept the Baseball Park plans submitted by Marr & Holman, Architects, Nashville, Tennessee, and specifications as amended with the proviso that a group consisting of Mr. Wakeling, Architect, Florida Power representatives, Mr. Ort, City Electrician, Mr. Moore, Recreation Director, Commissioner Strang and any members of the Commission who would like to go over these plans, meet on Wednesday at 10:00 A.M. and then when this group has reached an agree- ment that the plans be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.

The City Attorney read a report from the Zoning Board on a request by the Florida Power Corporation for an exception to the Zoning Oridinance to permit them to build a substation on Lots 19 and 20, Block 84, Unit 5, Mandalay Subdiv~sion. The Zoning Board's recommendation was that the request be denied because no hardsh~p had been shown and it was the opinion of the Board that the granting of the request would lower property values in the surrounding area. The City Attorney stated that there were three petitions attached to the Zoning Board's report protesting the granting of the petition. The City Manager requested instructions from the Commission as to whether or not a Public Hearing should be held on the request. A representative rrom the Florida Power Corporation was present during the discussion. Several alternate locations were suggested by the Commissioners on City property near the Youth Maritime Center or west of the Fire Station on park property in Water Tank Park. The City Manager reported that an application had been received from the Standard Oil Company for permission to erect a service station on the northeast corner of Court Street and Myrtle Avenue (south 100 feet of Lot 14, Block 10, Aiken Subdivision). He read the recommendation of the Zoning Board which was that the request be granted. He also read the report from the City Engineer which was that the concrete driveways be six ~nch concrete with mesh, that the water from the wash racks be run to the storm sewer, with necessary sand and grease trap, and that the contractor or Standard Oil Company's engineers check with the Engineering Department with reference to grade before starting construction. Mr. Ben Krentzman, attorney representing the Standard Oil Company, assured the Co~ssion that the company would cooperate with the Engineer's recommendations. Commissioner Strang moved that the City Manager and the Engineer's and the Zoning Board's recommendation be adopted and the application of the Standard Oil be approved to build this filling station at the corner of Court and Myrtle according to the amendments made by the City Manager and the City Engineer. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. .~ . ,- -_......,..-~- --.- ~ ,{;" , ~, ---...,- 11' '; ,.". ~ '" .' .: ,..,.::,:""...",'.~i.:.....:.;;;~~;,. .
