ITEl1 #4 - A Public Hearinp, on Zoning Amendment. The Southeast Quarter
(SE~) of Southeast Quarter (SE~) of Northwest Quarter (NW~). Section 1-29-15,
less South 250 ft. of East 250 ft., to be changed from CSC (shopping cente~
district) to RM-l~ (duplex apartment). -R. Cope - City Application.
Mr. ,William Johnson, ~epresenting the owner, Richard Cope, spoke in favor
of keeping the shoppin~ center zonin~. lIe stated the public hearing held a
year ago set the zoning and circumstances have not changed since that time to
justify rezoning now and the present zoning is compatible with the City and
County Land Use Plan. If the property were rezoned, the property would decrease
in value, as an appraisal has shown, in the amount of $104,000. He said this
appears to'be a confiscatory taking and puts an extreme burden on the owners of
the property. The ro1-l2 (duplex apartment) zoning is a holdinp, zone classi-
fication and deprives M~. Cope of the right to use his property. The original
site plan is still considered a good plan and the best use of the property.
The City Attorney explained the ordinance stated the zoning may remain
the same, or may be rezoned, or may he extended and a site plan is required as
part of the ordinance.
Harold Maul, 1706 Sunset Point Road, a representative of the N. E.
Clearwater Civic Association. stated that the homeowners in the area do not
want another shoppinp, center. Mrs. J. Gill (Carmen) Erwin, 1555 Elizabeth
Lane, spoke in opposition to hi-rise apartment zoning.
The City Manager stated that the City received 29 letters in opposition to
hi-rise apartment zoninp.; for the northwest corner of Sunset Point Road and
Hercules Avenue.
Murray Fuchs. 1769 Carli~le Street. requested clarification of the
petition letters and RM-12 zoning.
Richard Cope, owner of the property, and Paul Meissner, attorney, spoke in
'favor of Shopping center zoning. Discussion followed.
Commissioner De Blaker moved to continue the hearing until January 6, 1975,
at 1:30 p.m., and to include a traffic study in the recommendation. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Rankin. Upon the vote being taken, it carried
unanimously. Attorney Paul Meissner objected to the continuance.

rcserVe until community Developmp.nt Funds arc allocated. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Rankin and carried unanimously.
ITEM 011 - Char~eG for Recreation Programs.
The City Managel' presented the recommendation for a $10 per year non-
resident recreation fee and adjusted recreation fees for recreation programs and
rentals. It was established that each City resident pays $10 a year in taxes
toward the recreation programs and that softball is the most expensive recrea-
tional program per player.; Commissioner Rankin moved to adopt these recreation

section is the busiest elementary school crossing in the City. Meetings have
been held with the school authorities, the pal'ents, the Police Department and
Sheriff's Office, and some changes implemented. Missouri Avenue is a state
highway and the City cannot establish speed limits on this street. A walk
light is provided with a 32 second interval which is ample time to cross. A
flasher light will require Department of Transportation approval.
Mr. Stanley Garey, City Manar,er of Safety Harbor, 800 S. Keystone Avenue,
Clearwater, representing the parents, requested school area 15 miles per hour
signs and presented pictures of the children crossin!; and traffic congestion in
the area due to shoppinr, malls. He prnsented a petition pUl'ported to have 227
signatures requesting certain safety measures be implemented.
Mr. Dennis Fischer, 1313 South Greenwood Avenue, suggested the children
be required to walk on the south side of Lakeview, which would eliminate cross-
inr. the busiest turn lanes. The following sURgestions were made to the Traffic
Engineer: a designated school-bike walk, an increase of 10 seconds be added to
the cross-walk light, a scramble light, and recommendation for further study.
