CIn COMMISSION MEETING
December 19, 1955
The Mayor announced the continuation of the Public Hearing on the request
of George A. Bolton for remodeling of house for R-2 use on Lot 2, Mighell's
Subdivision at the corner of North Osceola Avenue and Spring Court, the property
being presently zoned R-l. The City Attorney reported that the Zoning Board's
recommendation was that the request be granted inasmuch as there will be no
exterior additions or alterations and since other dwellings in the area have
multiple use. The City Attorney read letters from Miss Grace Parker, 308 Sprin!
Court, Mr. James A. Robbins, 1100 North Osceola Avenuo, Mr. Earl Chamberlain,
1017 North Osceola Avenue. and Mrs. W. S. Hall, 1105 North Osceola, which stated
they had no objection to the granting of the request and thought it would benefit
the neighborhood. Mr. Louis Simon, an adjoining property owner, said he thought
it would benefit the neighborhood. Mrs. Allye Allen and Mrs. W. S. Hall, affected
property o~ners, spoke in favor of granting the request. Dr. K. P. A. Taylor,
speaking in behalf of the North Shore Association, objected to granting the
petition. Mr. John Polhill, attorney, speaking for Mr. Bolton, explained that
the only change on the outside would be to use the front entrance for one apartment
and the back entrance for the other apartment. Commissioner Bohannon moved that
the request be granted in accordance with the Zoning Board's recommendation.
Motion was seconded by COlIlllissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced the consideration of the size of the park and utility
area on the proposed Island Estates development in Clearwater Bay. The City
Attorney read a certified copy of an excerpt from the Minutes of the Pine lIas
County Water and Navigation Control Authority on December 15. 1955. The copy
contained a motion that the Authority recess the re-hearing until next Thursday,
(December 22nd) and that its Clerk notify Mr. Rives, the City of Clearwater and
Florida Power of that meeting and request the City to attempt to work out the park
problem and any other problems ~hat may exist in this proposal. The Planning
Board's recommendation on the preliminary site development Plan #15-F for "Island
Estates" was that the plan be approved subject to the following revisions:
a. The area to be developed as public lands to be increased to a minimum
of sixteen acres exclusive of rights-of-way.
b. When platted, suitable provisions to be made for turn-arounds and
utility loops at street terminals of single road islands.
c. The principal thoroughfare ~ith a width of 120 feet to extend trom
Memorial Causeway northerly to the north boundary line of the property
under the control of the developers.
The Mayor inquired if the developers would give the City an agreement to these
provisions in writing and the developers indicated that they would.
Commissioner Strang pointed out that in 1953 the City presented"a bill to
the State Legislature asking for control of fill pe~its within the City but the
bill did not pass; however, the County Commission in 1953 by Special 'Act was
appointed as a Board of Water and Navigation Control Authority. He said if the
permit were granted by the County, that the City has the authority to approve the
plats under Ordinance 632 which controls new subdivisions. He believed the approval
of the original plan by the City Commission was misconstrued by the public as the
City does not have the authority to deny or approve the actual fill. Mr. Alfred
Marshall, attorney, presented a petition containing over five hundred names
requesting the Commission to ask the County Water and Navigation Control Authority
to postpone and continue its hearing scheduled for December 22nd on the modified
plan of development submitted by Island Estates so that public hearings can be
conducted by the City Commdssion after due notice. Mr. Marshall said he felt it
was the responsibility of the Commission to give thorough investigation through a
town meeting and that a referendum on the matter may be necessary. The City
Attorney read the petition. Mr. Baya Harrison, attorney for the developers of
Island Estates, explained that the original plan included development of 393 acres
and that the t~o easterly islands of 98 acres have been deleted. Commissioner
Russell pointed out that the City Corr~ission had previously purchased lands in the
south bay with the taxpayers' money, but he did not feel that the City could afford
to purchase this large tract in the north bay as the cost would be prohibitive.
Mr. Marshall said he thought a referendum might produce a request for a bond issue
to finance purchasing these lands also. The City Attorney explained that the
purpose of a referendum was either for ratification of a Special Act or an
Ordinance and sometimes of initiative ordinances.

Mr. John Cosgrove, Mr. Wm. Hayes, Dr. Augustus Mueller, Mr. Edward Heidel and
Mr. A. W. Herbst addressed the Commission asking that the matter be delayed for
public hearings. Mr. Ambrose Carlson quoted from the finding of facts at the first
hearing before the County Board which he said showed that the project was approved
by the Planning Board and the City Commission. He also read excerpts from the
Special Act of the Legislature creating the Water and Navigation Control Authority
and stated that he believed the intent of the law had been disregarded as to the
provisions for the protection and preservation of the natural beauty and recreational
advantages of Pinellas County. Commissioner Bohannon said he felt the Commission
had always listened to the expressions of the people. He felt this had been
presented to the COl1Dission as the best plan from the City's standpoint and that
the County Board who had the authority must decide as to the actual granting of
the permit for the fill. Commissioner Bohannon moved that the City Commission meet
with the County Commissioners and ask for a deferment of time as to the meeting of
Thursday, December 22nd. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried
unanimously. The Mayor expressed approval of the motion and stated that the
CODD1ission would meet with the County Board. particularly to find out whether the
City Commission has any persuasive power or whether the County Board feels that
they have absolute authority under the Special Act.

east from Missouri Avenue, also a short sidewalk on the south side, and that the
project include a drainage pipe in the portion of Lakeview where there is none,

to provide suitable access roads to all schools. Commissioner Strang moved that
the Engineer's report be accepted and a Committee be formed to meet with the

Bohannon and carried unanimously. Commissioner Strang commented that the people
that made the request said they would give the Commission all the assistance they
could.

of the Municipal Auditorium for the Commission's approval. The Qommission discussed
t.he condition of the Auditorium, the drainage around it, t.he condition or the roof,
the lighting, and the possibility of termites. Commissioner Strang moved that the
Commission accept the plans for consideration, appoint a Comaittee of the Commission
to take these plans under advisement with the City Engineer, the City Manager and
the Chairman of the Convention Bureau; if the plans are satisfactory, prepare
working drawings and take bids with two or three alternates to find out the cost
80 the work can be done in steps if so desired. to have a planned progression; in
this way, the City would have an Auditorium of size and facilities to handle the
conventions that the Convention Bureau is thinking of bringing here. Motion was
seconded by ~ommissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The Mayor appointed the entire Commission as a Committee of the Wbo1e to work
with the City Engineer and the City Manager on the matter.

estimated the cost of the alterations requested by the Woman's Club at $3,900.00.

The City Manager stated that the job would be too large to handle by a City crew
and would have to be done under contract. Mrs. Richard Pollock, President of the:;
Woman's Club, asked permission for a Committee from the Club to work with the
City Engineer to see if the alterations could be modified. By consent. it was
agreed that this should be done.

proposed Myrtle right of way making a total of 476 plots for $25,000.00 and it would
include an agreement for more land or giving the City an opportunity to buy it.

property in cash for the proposed ri~ht of way of Myrtle and the addition to the
cemetery together with enough of a curve to fulfil right of ~ay requirements, that
the proper officials be authorized to execute the deeds, contracts and whatever

Board. He said he expected to meet with the County Commission to discuss this
with them. By consent, the matter was deferred for a further report from Mr.
Kruse.

Konorable City Commission
Trustees of Employees' Pension Fund
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
December 16, 1955
Re: Lonnie Woods - Application for retirement with pension
Attached hereto is a letter from Lonnie Woods, mechanic in the City Garage,
requesting that he be retired from duty with the City, effective January 1, 1956.
Mr. Woods, having started his employment with the City in June of 1925, has been
with the City over thirty years. This retirement would be according to Section
Five of the Pension Act, which says in part: "Employees who have been in the
continuous service of' the City for a period o~ twenty years or more shall at tne1r
request be retired on an annual pension which shall be two per cent of the average
salary received by said employee .for the last five years of his or her service
multiplied by the number of years of service. All employees afCected by this
Act shall be eligible to retire after thirty years of continuous service regardless
of age." Mr. Woods' pension would be based on the following calculations:
Total salary received last ~ive years - $15,169.97
Average per month ror five years - $252.83
2% of monthly average - $~J0566 .
30 years o~ service x $5.0500 - $151.70
We hereby recommend that Mr. Woods be granted pension of $151.70 per month
effective January 1, 1956.
Very truly yotU" s,
Advisory Comnittee of the Employees' Pension Fund

CI'1`Y CONiMISSION MEETING
December 19, 19$5
The Mayor annaunced the con�inuation of the Public Aesring on the request
of George A. Bolton for remodeling o� house for R-2 use on I,ot 2, Mighell's
Subdivision at the corner of North Osceola �venue �nd Spring Court, the property
being presentlq zoned R-1. The City Attorney reported that the Znning Board's
recommendation was that the request be granted inasmuch as there will be no
exterior additions or alterations and since other dwellings in the ar�a have
muitiple use. The City Attorney read letters from Mi�s Graca Pa.rker, 30$ Spring
Gou�t, Mr. James A. Robbins, 1100 North Osceola Avenue, Mr. Earl Chamberlain,
101� North Osceola Avenue, and Mrs. W. S. Ha11, 1105 North Osceola, which stated
they had no objection to the granting of the request and thought it would benefi.�
the neighborhood. Mr. Louis Simon, an adjuining property o�aner, said he thaught
it would benefit the neighborhood. Mrs. A11ye Fillen anc� Mrs. W. S. Hall, afiected
property owners, spoke in favor of granting the request. Dr. K. P. A. Taylor,
speaking in behalf o�' the North Shore Association, objected ta granting the
petition. Mr. John Polhill, attorney, sgeaking for Nir. Bolton, explained that
the only change on the outside would be to use the fron� entraace for one apartment
and the back entrance for the ather apartment. Cnmmissioner Bohannon moved that
the r�nuest be granted in accordance with the Zoning Board�s recomrnendation.
Motion was seconded by Couunissiorier Russell and carried unattimously.
The Mayor announced the consideration of the size oF the park and utility
area on the praposed Island Estates development in Clearwater Bay. The Ci�y
Attornep read a certified copy of an excerpt from the Minu�es of the Piz�ellas
County Water and Navigation Control Authoritp on December 15> 1955• The copy
contained a motion that the A�thority recess"the re-hearing until next Thursday,
(Dece�ber 22nd� and that its Clerk notify Mr. Rives, th� Ci�y: of Glearwater and
Florida Po�aer o>�' that meeting az:d request the City to attempt to work out the park
problem and any ot;her problems tliat may exist in this proposal. ThE Planning
Boardts recommendation on the prelimir_ary site development Plan #15-F for TMSsland
Estatesn was that the plan he approved subject to the following revisionse
a. The area to be developed �g public lands to be increased to a minimum
of sixteen acres exclusive of �ights-o:f-way.
b. When platted, suitabZe provisions to be made for turn-arounds and
utility lnops at street terminals of �ingle road islandso
c. The principal thoroughfare with a width of 120 £eet to extend from
Memorial Causeway northerly to the north boundary line of the propertq
under the control of the developers.
The Mayor inquired if the developers would give the City an agx�eement to these
provisions in writin� and the developers indicated that they wc�uld.
Commissior.er Strang pointed out th�t in 1953 the City presented,a bill to
the State Legis�a�ure asY.ing for control of fill pex3nity within the City but the
bill did not pass; however, the Countq Commission in 1953 by Special'Act wa�
appointed as a Board of Water and Naviga�ior� �ontrol Authority. He said if the
permit were jranted by the County, that the Ci�y has the authority to approse �he
plats under Ordinance 632 which controls new subdivisions. He believed the approval
of the original plar� by the Citp Commission was misconstrued by the public as the
City does not have the authoritz* to deny or approve the actual fill. l�ir. Alfred
MaFshall, attorney, presented a petition containing over five hundred names
requesting the Commission to ask the Coun�y Water and Navigation �ontrol Authority
bo postpone and c ontinue its hearing sck�eduled for December 22nd �•�n the modified
plan of development submitted by Island Estates so �ha� public hearings ca� be
conducted by the City Commj.ssion after due notice. Mr. j`�arshall said he felt it
was the responsibility of 'the Commission Lo give thor�ugh i.nvestigation throu�h a
town meeting and that a referendum on the matter may be necessar�. The City
Attorney read the petition. Mr. Baya Harrison, attornep fQr the developers of
Island Estates, explained that the original i�lan ir�cluded developmenb of 393 acres
and that the two easterlp islands of 98 acres have been deletedo Commissioner
Ru�sell pointed out that the Cit3� �ou,mission had previously purchased lands in the
south bay with the taxpayers� money, but he did not seel that the City could afford
to purchase this large tract in the north bay as the cost would be prohibiti�re.
Mr. Marshall said he thought a referen@usn might produce a request for a bond issue
to finance purchasing these lands also. The City Attorney explaineci that th�
purpose of a referendum was �;ither fdr ratification o£ a Special Act or an
Ordinance and sometimes of initiative ordinances.
Ndr. John Cosgrove, Mr. Wm. Hayes, Dr. Augustus M�aeller, Mre Edward Heidel and
Mr. A. W. Herbst addressed the Cammission asking that the matter be delayed for
public hear3ngso Mr. Ambrose Carlson quot ed from the finciing of facts at the first
hearing before the Countq Board which he said showed that ttxe pxoject was approved
by the Planning Board and the City Go.�nission. Ae also read �xcerpts from the
Special Act of the Legislature creating the Water and Navi�ation Conbrol Authority
and stated that he believed the intent of the law had been disregarded as to the
provisions �or the protection and preservation of the natural beauty and recreational
advantages of PineZlas County. Cor�m►issioner Bohannon said he fel.t the Commission
had always listened ta the expr�essions of tre people. FIe ielt �his had been
presented to the Commission as the best plan from the City's standp�in� and that
the Go�anty Board who had the aathority zaus't decide as to the actual granting of
the permit for the fill. Co�issioner Bohannon moved that the City Commiss3on me�t
with the Countp Gommissionex s and ask for a deferment o�' time as to the meeting of
Thursdaq, December 22nd. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried
unanimously. The Mayor �xprassed approval of the motion and s�aGed that the
Cor�mission wou�d meet with the Cour,ty Board, particularly to fiad out whether the
City Commission has any persuasive power or whether the County Boarci feels that
they have absolute authority under the Special Acto
