The City Manager reported that a preliminary hearing had been held with the majority of the property owners present and the reaction was .favorable. The City Engineer estimated the cost of the 30 foot paving and curbin~ at $J.eo per front foot. In answer to an inquiry regarding the type of curb, the City Engineer said his estimate was based on the flat type curb, and that the upright curb would cost a little more. Since some of the property owners expressed a preference .for the upri~ht curb, Commissioner Kennedy su~gested that the bids include an alternate for both types of curb. Having held this Public Hearing on construction or thirty foot pavement and curb in Grove Street rrom the east paving line of San Remo to the west line of Highland Avenue and having heard no valid object.ions, Commissioner Strang moved that the project be carried forth and that the property owners be assessed for the work.

The City Manager stated that the matter was being considered by request of the property owners and reported that the estimAted cost ror this project was $3.71 per front root. ,Commissioner Strang suggested that an alternate be included in the bids to cover both the rlat type curb and the upright curb. Having held this Public Hearing .for the construction or a thirty foot pavement and curb in Grove Street from the east paving line of Keystone Drive to the west paving line of Duncan Avenue and hqving heard no valid objection, Commissioner Strang moved that the project be carried forth and the property owners be assessed.

The City Engineer estimated the cost at $4.40 per .front foot. He explained that some reconstruction of the storm sewer line at Duncan and Harvard would be necessary.

The Mayor suggested that the Public Hearing be adjourned to January 3, 1955, at which time bids will be received for the job, and i.f the property owners are in favor or having the work done on the basis of the bids received, the work would be approved at that time.

Callahan ~or rermission to construct on Lot 23, Palm Bluff Subdivision, a second story apartment over her garage. The City Attorney read the ~oning board's reco~~endation which was that the request be denied since this would be an expansion of R-4 usage in an R-2 area. Commissioner Kennedy stated that after looking over the property he felt that unless the adjacent property owners would withdraw their objections that the Commission should sustain the action of the Zoning Board. Upon inquiry by the Mayor, Mr. W. H. Wolre stated that the property owners he represented still objected to granting the request. Mr. E. M. Sanford also continued his objection to the petition. Having held this Public Hearing and having heard objections, Commissioner Russell moved that the request or Mrs. Carolyn R. Callahan for }:'ermission to construct a second story apartment on Lot 23 by remodelinG an existing garage building on property con- taining a four unit apartment building in an area zoned R-2 be denied according to the Zoning board's recommendation.

Commissioner Strang moved that the plat of Unit 10 of Skycrest Subdivision be approved and that the zoning of said subdivision be R-l with the exceptions of Lots 1 and 2 in Block A, Lots 1 and 2 in Block B, which shall be zoned Business; and with the further exception of Tract l-E which shall be zoned R-4 provided however that Tract l-E shall be usable by the developer as a public swimming pool so long as the north 75 feet thereof is reserved for parking; and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute the original plat for recording in the public records of Pinellas County, Florida.

After some discussion, the Mayor suggested that the developer complete the dredging of the lake, put the area in good condition and then present the deed for the considera- tion of the Commission at that time. The City Attorney read a Resolution assessing the sidewalk on the south side of Seminole Street from Myrtle to Garden Avenue. The City Engineer presented a sketch showing the area where the sidewalk had been installed. Commissioner Strang moved that the Assessment Resolution for the five foot concrete sidewalk on the south side of Seminole Street from the west line of Myrtle Avenue to the east line of Garden Avenue be passed and adopted and that the assessments therein be spread ur-on the record with the exception that the assessments against St. Matthews Baptist Church and against Veulah L. Johnson be cancelled in consideration of the g rant of right-of-way for the project. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Commissioner Strang reporting for the Seawall Committee said that it was their idea to establish a seawall line by drawing lines between the present seawalls on the mainland and that on the Beach nearly all of the property had seawalls except a few small areas and the new finger now being developed. The City Engineer presented a map showing by survey the amount of seawall already constructed and a suggested seawall line. Commissioner Strang suggested establishing the line as suggested by the City Engineer and then if there are any hardShips, the owners can come in and present them to the Commission. By consent, the matter was referred to the City Attorney to prepare the Ordinance establishing the seawall line. The City Manager reported that he had received a letter from Mr. William McKenzie, attorney for Mr. C. V. Roberts, operator of Blackie's Rite Rate Cabs requesting that his client be granted a license to operate three cabs in additIon to the five he is already operating. The letter was referred to the Taxi Committee. Commissioner Kennedy reported that the Taxi ConmLtttee had made a study of the mileage records that have been accumulated by the taxi companies and found that Mr. Roberts' taxicabs were running 40% to 50% more mileage per unit than the other companies. He said the Committee's recommendation was that Mr. Roberts or the firm he represents be granted the three additional cab permits which he has requested. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the three requested permits be granted to Mr. Roberts. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. i~;t~: /1:'8, ,H!t;~~{i!#fi.5~~' ' !""""""""""''''j'''' I~~I~~~ 5" ',.. 'I ", " , .' .' ,':.,,1 .' , ; ,,:: :~ : ,f',. , ?:" ~fl .

Mr. Roberts who was present indicated that he was not asking ~or any additional parking spaces on the street. The City Engineer explained the proposed method o~ assessment ~or the sanitary sewer on Coronado, Hamden and Gul~ View Boulevard stating that he had excluded ~rom assessment Lots lA to 4A, 9A and lOA in Columbia #3, on Harnden and had included assessment against the City property on Gulf View Boulevard. He said the only other exception was Lot 2, Bayside Replat, belonging to Mr. E. W. Barger, Jr., as it was too small to build on. There was some discussion as to whether the lot would not be increased in size if the seawall line is established. By consent, the matter was deferred to the next meeting. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Robert W. Wilson, Secretary to the Special Events Committee of the Chamber o~ Commerce, regarding the request of the Florida Philharmonic Society for $1,800.00 and the Clearwater Community Symphony for $900.00. The letter stated that after careful consideration, the Committee would recommend that each symphony organization be allocated a sum not to exceed $500.00. Commissioner Strang moved that the report from the Special Events Committee be approved and that these two funds o~ $500.00 each be set up. Motion was seconded by Corrmissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City A~torney read a letter from the Clearwater Federation o~ Civic Clubs expressing opposition to the relocating of the war monuments now at the east end o~ Memorial Causeway. The Mayor and Commissioner Strang called attention to the fact that the City had not authorized the moving of the monuments and would not do so unless the traffic survey indicated there was an urgent need for their removal. Commissioner Strang moved that the Federation of Civic Clubs letter be acknowledged and that they be noti~ied that there was no intention o~ moving the monuments at the present; it was only if it was necessary for traffic safety or any other part of our traffic engineering program. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The City Attorney presented a plat of Bonair Hill Subdivision #4 for approval and read a letter from Messrs. E. R. and Alfred C. 1urner which requested that Palmetto Street be paved and stated that they owned 872 feet on the north side of Palmetto Street, 240 feet of which is in the County. The letter stated that the developers would pay for the paving of the portion which is in the County. During the discussion, it was suggested that the right-o~-way for Palmetto Street as far as Lake Avenue be checked and that the Engineer should check to see how far Palmetto goes east into the County. The City Attorney stated it would be possible to call a Public Hearing on pavin~ the part of Palmetto inside the City limits and the south half of the 240 feet extending easterly to Lake Drive; then a contract could be drawn in which the Turners agree to pay for the north half of the portion east of the City limits. Commissioner Strang moved that the plat of Bonair Hill #4 be approved and the proper officials be authorized to si~n the plat and the zoning to be R-I. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The City !~anager said he would arrange for a preliminary Public Hearing. The Commission discussed the annexing of Salls 1st, 2nd and 3rd Additions with Mr. D. A. Salls. Following the discussion, Mr. Salls was informed it would be necessary to bring in a revised plat which would enlarge the size o~ the corner lots in conformance with the City's requirements. The City Attorney read a letter ~rom Mr. Paul F. Randolph written on behalf of the owners of Lots 1 and 11, Block 264, Carlouel ~ubdivision, which stated that part of the street paving o~ Juniper Way was encroaching on the south side of these two lots, and requested that the City release any claim it might have a~ainst this parkway., The City Engineer reported that he had checked the situation and est~ated that approximately eight feet of the paving inside the fence was encroaching on the lots. After some discussion, the Commission agreed to view the site before making any decision. The City Manager presented the request ~rom Mr. H. C. Metzger for an extension of the City water lines to his subdivision on North Haines Road one half mile north of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, and recommended that this be done. Commissioner Russel~ moved that the water supply for the Metzger Subdivision on North Haines Road be approved as per the City ivlanager' s recorrmendation and that they be informed that the water rates will probably go up to the County price; this to be at no cost to the City and a refundin~ contract to be arranged between the developer and the City. Motion was seconded by ~ommissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Engineer reported that only two of the affected property owners, Mr. James Karas and Mr. Allen McKay, attended the preliminary hearing on the storm sewer for Duncan Avenue from Gulf-to-Bay to Druid Road and they were both in favor of the project. Upon inquiry, the City Engineer estimated that these two men owned 25% of th8 property affected by the proposed drainage. After discussion, the City Manager was requested to contact at least 60% of the owners by telephone and have a favorable reaction from them before setting up a Public Hearing. The City Attorney presented a plat of Skycrest Terrace 2nd Kddition for approval and reported that the Zoning Board had approved the plat and recommended that the ~oning be R-I as requested by Mr. G. Blair.

Middelton, City Manager City Hall Clearwater, Florida November 30, 195~ Re: Florida Philharmonic Society, Inc. $1800.00 Clearwater Community Smyphony, Inc. $900.00 Dear Mr. Middelton: The Special Events Committee has been referred requests from the above mentioned groups and after careful consideration and several me etings we wish to submit the following recommendations. The Committee feels that in order to avoid a cultural lag the smyphonies are to be considered an essential part of the community, but the actual financing should not be left to the tax payers. However, the Committee feels that since one smyphony received funds from the City in the year 1953 the requests this year should not be completely turned down. Therefore, the Committee recommends that each smyphony be allocated a sum not to exceed $500.00. ::.~<~< .~ <<:; '~:. " ",- ~J~{i,;t;~:,L;. . RWW/ab Respectively submitted, /s/ Robert W.

Brown, Mayor and The City Commission Gentlemen: November 29, 1954 At the meeting of the Federation held November 26, 195~, it was brought to the attention of the Federation that it had been proposed to the City officials that steps be taken to remove the City flagstarf and the two memorial statues representing the Army and Navy respectively, from their present location at the west end of Cleveland Street at its approach to the Memorial Causeway, and to install them in front of the City Auditorium. It is not apparent to this Federati on what good purFose ~ould be served by such a transfer, and unless there exists a definite need for such action, it is the considered o}:inion of the Federation that there is no real necessity for thus changing the present satisfactory lOCAtion of those three long established and publicly admired adjuncts to our City's beautif'u1 Causeway approach. There was a definitely expressed opposition to any change in the present set-up, and it was unanimously voted by the representatives of the twelve ciVic associations present that the Federation appeal to the City officials to definitely refuse to permit any chanse in the present location o~ these three features cherished by the large majority of the citizens of Clearwater.

The frontage on the South side of Palmetto St. amounts to 5aZ feet which is all in the City limits. We are plating this so the sewer assessments may be placed against the Lots. Yours truly, E.

The matter has been considered at length by the Committee. Consideration was given to the advisability of recording, in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, of a certified copy of e~ch resolution, approving a project. It was concluded that for various reasons this would not be the best procedure. It is the unanimou~ opinion of the Committee that the matter can be handled in the office of the City Clerkj that each resolution be numbered and dated and describe the property to be assessed in terms sufficiently specific to en9ble anyone to readily determine whether the property under search is likely to be encumbered with special improvement liens; and that a copy of each such resolution be placed in an indexed folder which shall be readily available in the City Hall to attorneys and t:he publi~ generally, to which reference may be made by the Clerk in his ~ritten statements concerning taxes and assessments.

It is not apparent to this Federation what goad purpose would be served by such a transfer, and unless there ex�sts a definite need �or such action, it is the considered opinion of the Federation that there is no real necessity for thus changing the present satisfactor,y location of those three lon� established and publicly admired adjuncts to our Cityis beautiful Causeway approach. There was a definitely expressed ogposition to any change in the present set-up, and it was unanirnously voted by the representatives of the twelve civic associations present that the Federation appeal to the City officials to definitEly refuse to perrait any chan�e in the present location oi these thrse features cherished by the large majority of the citizens of Clearwater.
