the City Manager reported that there were two low bids of $2,665.00 one from A. Y.
McDonald Manufacturing Company and the other from Bert Lowe Supply Company; however,
he explained that the one from the A. Y. McDonald Company guaranteed a firm price
and the Bert Lowe Supply Company gave the price as set at the time of shipment;
therefore, he was recommending accepting the bid from the A. Y. McDonald Manu~ac-
turing Company, of Dubuque, Iowa, for $2,665.00. Commissioner Strang moved that
the City Manager's recommendation be accepted. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimously.

Plant opened at the last meeting, the City Manager explained that the City Engineer,
Mr. D. J. Raye, Disposal Plant Superintendent, and Mr. Aubrey Ort, Electrical
Department Superintendent, had ~orked out the specifications for the generator,
and after studying the bids, found that the low bid did not meet the specifications
and recommended accepting the bid of $2,166.00 from Tampa Armature, as the only
one that met the specifications. On the basis of the information supplied by
the Electrical Department, the Eng ineering Department and the City Manager that
the bid of the Graybar Electric does not meet specifications, Commissioner Roberts
moved that the bid be thrown out. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon

seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
In regard to the bids for two 12" altitude valves and two 8" valves opened
at the last meeting, the City Manager explained that since the new tank would be
located next to the old one, only one a" valve and two 12" valves would be needed;
therefore, he was recommending accepting the low bid of Ross Valve Manufacturing
Company for $618.00 for the a" valve and $918.00 each for the 12" valves or Ii
total of $2,454.00. Corrmissioner Strang moved on the City Manager's recommenda-
tion that the altitude valves be awarded to Ross Valve Company for $2,454.00.

no decision from the Circuit Court regarding the boundary of one of the properties
concerned (Mrs. Simon Marks). Mr. W. A. Walker, property owner on the north
side of the street, objected to the delaying of the project. Commissioner
Bohannon moved that Item #5, "Public Hearing on the opening of Turner Street
from Greenwood to Missouri be continued to the 2nd meeting in May (May 21st).

(Continued)
I have made a deposit on the property at 806 Penna. Ave., and had expected
to build my office on the front of this lot as I need to expro1d very badly. I
have also planned to use the rear as a parking lot. This lot is not worth the
price to me as re sidential pro pert;,y .
Please give my request to have t;,hese two (2) lots rezoned your very kindest
consideration as I need this property very badly for business purposes. I will
appreciate anything you or the rezoning board can do for me about this matter.
Very truly yours,
/s/ T. A. McGee

Mr. Francis Middleton:
City Manager:
Dear Sir:
1/4/56
I would like to make a request for consideration by you in regards to use
of a small piece of land that adjoins my property. This land has become an eyesore
& a detriment to my business since the road was paved & curved differently than
the old road use to be. The new road not only cost me quite a sum of money which
is ok but it hurt my motel business & defaced my propert;,y.
If I am to get a fair share of customers to stop at my motel I must invest
more money into a sign & office but ther e would be no se nse of doing this with
my property line as it is now fo r the sign & office would not be seen, keeping
in mind that all cars must come onto the south end of the beach on Coronado
Ave. and also that my motel is now on a sharp curve.
My property line is now on a 70' radius so I am asking if I could use a 35'
radius and construct a sign & office that could be seen so I can try to overcome
this hardship situation.
Enclosed you will find a rough sketch so you will understand my problem
better. I would be pleased to come in & sit down to explain it in person.
I have talked to all the city department heads including Mr. Anderson (city
engineer), Mr. Whitehead (city Hall), Mr. Krause (city planing), &to you Mr.
Middleton (city manager) all have been able to see what a tough problem I have
but no one has been able to give me any help.
Please call or write me as to what can be done for each department head has
al ways re fe rred me back to you.
Yours 'l'ruly,
/s/ Mr. Richard Hartman

Mr. Franci s Midd leto n
City i~nager
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir:
I am the owner of the property in Clearwater, Florida, described as follows:
Harvey P. Hale
Park Terrace Grill
S. Ft. Harrison Ave.
Clearwater, Florida
April 4, 1956
Lot s 33 and 46 of COURT SQUARE SUBDIVISION according to the map or plat
thereof recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 53, Public Records o~ Pinellas
County, Florida.
As you know my diner, the Park Terrace Grill, is situated on one of the above
lots and the o~her lot is used as a parking lot. A fifteen (15) foot alleyway
easement runs between the two lots and immediately to the rear of the diner.
I la ve the parking lot fenced but have left an opening in the fence at each
end of the alleyway for ingress and egress.
This 'alleyway is of no practical use to the public since I own the property on
both sides for the full length of said alleyway. It is only useful to me as a
property owner in connection wi th my parking lot and to provide a means for
garbage pickup at the rear of ~he diner.

...~~t ~,~
At presen~, I contemplate an expansion of ~he diner toward the rear or toward
Garden Avenue, where the alleyway presently exists, and this is to respectfUlly
request that the City take such action as it may deem necessary and proper to
vacate the alleyway in order that the diner may be expanded. This does not mean
that the traffic to the rear of the diner will be stopped but only that I will
move the openings in the fence surrounding the parking lot, facing on Court
street on the North and Markley Street on the South, fUr~her to the East, or
toward South Garden Avenue, which wi 11 still permit delivery trucks and garbage
trucks to come in and out. to the rear of the diner and also to be used for ingress
and egress to the parking lot.
Should you consider this request proper to be submitted to the City Commission
of the City of Clearwater, I respectfully ask that this matter be placed on the
Agenda for the next meeting of such Commission.
Very. t.nlly yours.

April 16, 1956
Honorab1e Mayor-Commissioner
Board of" Commissioners
City of Clearwater
Clearwat.er, Florida
Gentlemen:
On invitation, County Engineer Hester met with the Clearwater Planning Board
at its regular meeting April 5, 1956 to discuss in detai1 Clearwater's proposed
Highway and '.l'raf'fic Plan "M R 1" which was approved by the Comis sion at it s
meeting March 26, 1956. As a result of this conference, it is the opinion of
the Planning Board Lhat the following revisions to Plan "M R 1" are advisable in
order to assure collaboration of the Count.y and the neighboring municipalities:
A.
B.
C.
i .' '.
D.
Widths of rights-of-way for arterial and collector streets be changed
from 120 feet and 90 .feet to 100 ~eet and 80 feet respectively.
1. 'l'he arterial SLreet -will now provide 4 - 12 foot dri ving lanes
(two in each direction), 2 - S foot parking lanes, 1 - 16 foo~
median strip, and 2 - 10 foot s~rips for side~alks and utilities,
(a dedication of 100 feet).
2. !he collector street will now provide 4 - 11 foot driving lanes,
2 - g foot parking lanes, and 2 - 10 foot strips for sidewalks
and utilit.ies, (a dedi cation o~ 80 feet) .
Druid Road to be extended to an intersection ~ith U.S. 19 and be desig-
nated an arterial street of a 100 foot right-of-way for its entire
lengt~ east of Fort Harrison Avenue.
Myrtle Avenue to be redesignated a collector s~reet with an 80 ~oot
right-of-way for the proposed entire length from the Ft. Harrison Avenue
intersection on the south to the Ft. Harrison Avenue intersection on
the north. In this respect attention is invited to inter-of~ice
communications of" October 28, 1955 and November 21, 1955 (copies attached)
in which this Board recommended the acquisition of rights-of-way for the
ext.ensions to this projected traffic route. It is deemed important
t.hat early action be ~aken in regard to Myrtle Avenue as a residence is
now under construction on the southwest corner of Myrtle Avenue and
Eldridge Street, so located that the proposed go foot right-of-way
along the center line (recommended by the City Engineer for the proper
alignment of Myrtle Avenue north) cannot now be acquired without
condemnation of this building. ,
Betty Lane (Milwaukee Avenue in Dunedin) and Highland Avenue to be
extended in a northerly direction to intersections with Main Street
in Uunedin, eliminating the two snort diagonals which were proposed as
access junctions with New York Avenue in Dunedin.

E. Union Street to be extended in an easterly direction to an intersection
with the proposed Northeast - Southwest diagonal artery.
F. Palmetto Street to be extended in an easterly direction to an inter-
section with Coachman Road.
The prinCipal difference of opinion between Mr. tiester and the Planning Board
concerned the diagonal roads proposed in connection with Plan "M R 1". The Board
is of the unanimous opinion that Mr. Hester's objection to diagonal roads 1s
inconsistent with good town planning principles. It is the sad experience of
many cities in the United States that provision ~as not made for similar diagonal
streets of adequate width to accommodate the flo~ of steadily increasing vehicular
traffic; in many cases, it has been found necessary for these municipalities to
acquire such rights-of-way at a tremendous cost to the tax payers. This Board
reels ~herefore, that every effort should be made to influence the other municipal-
ities in the adoption of the diagonals substantially as shown on ~ R 1".
As meetings with neighboring municipaliLies for the joint consideration of
Plan "M R 1" have been arrallged for t.he present 'Week it is most essent.ial that
Lhe revisions outlined above be concurred in by the Commission. It is requested
further that the drafting of an ordinance to implement Plan ~ R In be initiaced
at the earliest possible date so as to assure the conformity of new subdivisions
and the control of developments on unimproved properties in established areas.
Respectfully yours,

Mr. Francis Middleton, City Manager
Ci~y of Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Middleton:
Recently I discussed with you over the telephone the possibility o~ asking the
City of Clearwater to close Dempsey Avenue from the west side of Pomelo Avenue
west to the east line of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad right-of-way. I have
shown this section by a red line on the enclosed map.
You will note that we already have storage sheds in the street right-of-way,
but we have been so short of space in this area that 'We have been ~orced to do it.
We have sincerely tried for t~o years to purchase property in the neighborhood,
but the owners have refused to sell. The closing of this street would not affect
anyone since t.he Board owns property on both sides, and it would be possible for
those living down in Block 3 to go down the railroad right-of-way into their
property or down Pomelo Avenue to their property.
I trust that we may have your cooperation and that of the City Council in the
closing of this street so that we may erect a building for storage of furniture.
Our system has expanded to the point that we are now having to store our furniture
allover the Clearwater area, which makes it difficult to safeguard and expensive
to operate.
Your usual fine cooperation is requested.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Floyd Christian
Superintendent of
Public Instruction

Dear Sir:

As owner of lot 1�, bllc 5, Pinecrest Subdivision located at $0I� Penna. Ave.
I am requesting that you rezone this lot and the adjoining lot 3, blk. 5,
Pinecrest Subdivision as busir.ess property. When I bought this lot at $0�. Penna.

I hav9 made a deposa�t on the property at $06 Penna. Ave., and had expected
to build my office on the fro nt of this lot as I need to e xpand very badly. T
have a].so planned to use the rear as a p�rking lot. This lot is not worth the
price to me as residential pro perty.
Please give my request to have these twa (2) lots rezoned your very kindest
consideration as I need �his property very badly for business purposes. I wS.11
appreciate anythirig you or ihe rezoning board aan do for me about this m�tter.

Mr. Francis Mid3le�on;

City Manager:
Dear Sir:
I would like to ffiake a request for consideration by you in regards to use
of a small piece of �and that adjoins my pxopertq. This land has be�ome an eyesore
& a detriment to my business since the road was paved & curved differently than
th e old road use to be. The new road not only cost me quite a sum of monep which
is ok br�: �:t hurt my motel bus.iness & defaced my property.
If I am t� get a fai.r share of customers to stop at my motel I must invest
more monep into a sign & office but there would be no sense of doing this with
my property line as it, is now for the sign & ofiice would not be seen, keeping
a.n mind that all cars must come onto the �o uth end of the beaah on Coronado
Avea and also that my motel is now on a srarp curve.
My property line is now on a 70° radius so I am asking if I could use a 351
radius and consi;ruct a sign & office tha� co�ald be seen so I can try to overcome
this hardship situation.
Enclosed you will find a rough sketch so pou will understand my problem
better. I would be gleased to co me in & sit down �o explain it in person.
I have tallced to all the city department heads including Mr. An�ierson (city
engineer), Mr. Whitehead (city Hall), Mr. Krause (city planing), & to you Mr.
Middleton {city manager} all have been able to see what a tou;h problem I have
but no one has been able to give me any help.
Please call or w. it� me as to �vhat can be done for each department head has
always referred me back to you.

Lot s 33 and 1�6 of COURT SQUARE SUBDIVISION according to the map or plat
thereof recorded in Plat Boolc 5, F�,�e y3, Public Records of Pi.nellas

As you know my cliner, the Park Terrace Grill, is situated on one of the above
lots and the oLher 1ot is used as a parking lot. A fifteen (15) foot al�.eyway
easement runs batween the i,wo lots and iuAnediately to the rear of th� diner.
I Ya ve the parking lot fenced but have left an opening in the ience at each
end of the alleywap for ingress and agress.
This 'alleyway is of no practical use to the public since I o�rn the property on
both sides for the fu11 length of said alleyway. It is only useful to me as a
property owner in connection with my parking lot and to provide a means for
garbage pickup at the rear of the diner.

At present, I contemplate an expansion of the di,ner toward the rear or towarcl

request that the City �ake auch action as it may deem necessar� and pro per to
vacate the alleyway in order that the diner may be expanded. This doss not mean
that the traf.fic to the rear of the diner taill be stopped but only that I will
move the openings in the isnce surrounding the parking 1ot, facing on Court
street on the North and NFarkley Street on the South, fi�rt;her to �he East, or
towara South Garden Avenue, which wil� still permit delivery trucks �nd garbage
trucks to come in and out to the rear of the di�ler and also to be used for ingress

On invitation, �ounty Engineer Kester met with the Clearwaier Planning Board
at its regular me�ting April g, 195b to discuss in detail Cl�arwaterts proposed
Highway and 7'raffic Plan "M R 1" whieh svas approved by the Corr¢ni� sion at i;. s
meeting March 2b, 1956. As a result of tha.s conierence, it is the opinion of
the Planning Board that the following revisions to P1an "M R l" are advisable in
or der to assure co llaboration of the County and the naighbori ng municipalities:
A. Widths of rights-of-�aay for arterial and collec�or streets be changed
from 120 �eet and 90 fe9t to 100 fzei and $0 feet r�spectivelp.
1. The arterial street will now provi.de �. - 12 foot driving lanes
(twr� in each d.irection), 2- g foot parking lanes, 1- lb foot
median strip, and 2- 10 foot strips for sidewalks and utilities,
(a dedication of l00 fee�).
2. `i'he collector street will n�w provide 1� - 11 foot driving lanes,
2-$ foo� parking lanes, and 2- l0 foot strips for sidewalks
and utilities, (a dedication of $0 feet),
B. Druid Road to be extended to an intersectaon with U.S: 19 and be desig-
nated an arterial street of a 100 foot right-of-way £or its entire
lengtYr east of Fart Harrison Avenue.
C. NiyrtTe Avenue to be rec3esignated a collector street with an �0 foot
right-of-way for the proposed entire length from the Ft. Harrison Avenue
intersection on the south to the Ft. Harrison Avenue intersection on
the north. In this respect attention is invited to inter-oifice
communications af October 2�, 1955 and November 21, 1955 i�opies attached)
in which this Board recommended the acquisition af rights-of-::ay for the
extensions Go this projected traffic route. It is deemed important
that early action be taken in regard to Myrtle Avenue as a residence is
now under construction on the southw�st corner of �iyrtle Avenue and
Eldridge Street, so located that the proposed $O ioot right-ofaway
along the center line (recommended by the City Engineer for �he pro per
alignment of Myrtl.e Avenue north) cannot now be ac�uired without
condemnation of this building.
D. Betty I,ane (Milwaukee Avenue in �unedin) and Highland Avenue to be
extended in a northerly �irection to interseciions with Main Streeb
in llunedin, eliminating the two short diagonals which were proposed as
access junctions with New York Avenue in �unedin.

(Continued)
Union Street to be extended in an easterly direction ta an antersection
with the proposed Northeast - Southwest diagonal artery.
Palmetto Strest to be extendad in an easterly direction to an inter-
section with �oachman Road.
" The principal difference of opinion beLween Mr. �ester and the Plan ning Board
concerned the diagonal roads proposed in connection with Plan �'�'I R 1". The Board
is of the unanimous opinion that Mr. Hesterts objection to diagonal roads is
inconsistent with good tosvn plan ning principles. It is the sad experience of
man y cities in the United States that provision was not made for similar diagonal
streets of adequate wa.dth to acco�nodate the flow af steadily increasing vehicular
traffic; in many cases, it has been found nacessary for these municipalitiss ta
acquire such rights-of -�:ay at a tremendous cost to the tax payers. This Board
feels therefore, that �very effort should be made to influence the other municipal-
ities in Lhe adoption of the diagonals substantially as shown on "M R 1f :
As meetings with neighboring municipalitiies for the joint consideration of
Plan '�1K R 1" have been arranged for the present week, it is most essential that
ihe r2visions outlined above be concurred in by the Commission. It is requested
further that the draiting of an ordinance to implement Plan "y! R 1" be initiated
at the earliest possible da•te so as to assure the conformity of new subdivisions
and the conurol of developments o� unimproved pro perties in established areas.

Dear Mr. Middleton:
Recently I discussed with you over the te�,ephone the possibility of a:sking the
City of Clea•rw�ter to close Dempsey Avenue from the we5t side of Pomelo Avenue
west to the ea5t line of the Seaboard Air I,ine Railroad right-of-w�y. I have
shov�n this section by a red line on the enclosed map.
i'ou wi11 note that we already h�ve sto�age sheds in the streev right-of-way,
but we have been so short of space in this area that we have been iorced to do it.
We have sincerely tried for two years to purchase property in the neignborhood,
but the owners have refused to sell. The closing of this street would not affect
anpone since tihe Board o��tns property on both sides, and it wouid be possible for
those living down in B1ock 3 to go dowii the railroad right-of-�vay into their
groperty o� down Pomelo Avenue to their property.
I trust that we may have your cooperation and that of the Czty �ouncil in the
closing of Lhis str�et so that we map erect a building for storage of furniture.
Ovr system has expanded ia the point that we are now having to store our furniture
all over the Clearwater area, which makes it difficult to safeguard and expensive
to operate.
Your usual fine coapera�tion is reqUested.
