Commissioner Carwise arrived at this time.
Mrs. Grace Sessoms, 2892 State Road 590 East, called attention to the
State beverage license issued February 21st, 1975 to the Magic Market located
in Mission Hills Plaza (in NE~, Section 8-29-16), to sell sealed containers
of beer. She said a constant public nuisance exists which requires police
action and investigation periodically. Mrs. Sessoms read a copy of a letter
written to Governor Askew and Attorney General Shevin requesting revocation
of the license. The Acting City Attorney confirmed State laws preempt City
Authority and it may require filing civil action to abate the nuisance. Con-
sensus was to support Mrs. Sessoms. Commissioner Rankin moved to pass and
adopt Resolution #75-59 requesting 'amendment of State Statute 563.02 to allow
City licensing of all alcoholic beverage sales within the City limits, and
that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute it and sehd to the

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
May 19, 1975
ITEM 6 - A Public Hearing on Revision of Sewer Rates and Tap Fees.
Recommendation is that the tap fee be increased about 20\ and that the
residential sewer rates be increased about 120\ and commercial rates in-
creased from 110\ to 245' of water bill, all effective July 16, 1975.
Assistant City Manager Tony Shoemaker concurred in the Staff recommenda-
tion to finance sewer needs by $8-million revenue bond issue covered by in-
creased fees to pay for the $lO-million advance~ wast~water treatment facili-
ties which would serve the City for the next 20 years. He said escalating
costa, risk of losa of up to 75' federal fundinp" discharge of secondary out-
fall, and the fact that oapacity limit will be reached within two to three
yearstnecessitate prompt action. He also said construction will take four to
five years and the entire plant must be operational before it can be utilized.
ITEM 5 - Award of Service Pins.
Before proceeding with discussion of proposed rates, the Mayor presented
service award pins to two employees, and presented an achievement award plaque
and $25 Savings Bond to Faye Oakley of the BuildinR Department, Employee of
the Month. .
ITEM 6 - Continued.
Commissioner Rankin suggested highe~ tap fees and financing with gene~al
obligation bonds. The City Hanager cautioned delay would result in subsequently
1a~ge~ increases of rates and possibly as much as $10,000 a day fine by State
Pollution Control for failure to meet requirements. Mr. Shoemaker said Clea~-
water would need signed commitments from Dunedin and Safety Harbor before
validation of bonds but should they refuse to participate we would seek recourse
and request reduced plant si~e to handle our own needs. Mr. Loomis Leedy,
City fiscal agent, briefly compared financing costs.
Audrey Patouil1et spoke in favor of proceeding with action recommended.
Colonel Morrow recommended increased impact and sewer tap fees, with ~inimal
sewer rate increases. John M. Henderson, proposed sewer service charges be
proportioned to water meter readings and suggested sewer service fees escalating
with consumption. lIe also recommended further study of sewer rates for hotels,
motels, etc. Charles Finton objected to "paying in advance" and to the rate
increases as being unfair. James Hassett, owner of two laundromats, spoke in
opposition to the increase and expressed concern that people would wash and
shop out of the City. Hal PuIs, Covert Apartments, read his letter in protest
and expressed concern of resultant vacancies. Herb Schwartz said he is willing
to pay a fair share but that the rates should he related to water consumption.
Protests of the proposed increase were received from Herbert Langendorff,
President, Sunset Lake Estates Association, and Mr. and Mrs. David Waddell.
Mayor Cazares recommended further Staff study, consideration of input, and
requested additional information for study by the Commission.
Commissioner DeBlaker moved to continue the public hearing to June 2, 1975,
12:30 p.m. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Rankin and ca~ried unanimously.
ITI;U fJ7 - Vacation of Right-oi-Way ... Valencia Park. In Section 1-29-15,

The developer donated a rectangular portion of park property on Hercules
Avenue and a strip to berused as an access area to the park. This narrow
strip is now proposed to be vacated with the City retaining a utility easement.
Retaining the R.O.W. would require continued maintenance in addition to a
possible cost of $14,000 for a sprinkler system. Consensus of the commissioners
was not to give away any property but to keep it aa a green area.
Commissioner Martin moved to deny the City.s request for vacation of the
property. Commissioner Rankin seconded the motion which carried unanimously.

All of the above properties are located South of S.R. 580, West of S.R.
593 and North of t.ake Chautauqua, consistinp' of approximately 351 acres..
The City Hanap,er presented the recommendation that the Commission
approve the annexation and zoning of the twelve tracts with the provisions:
1) That the ~O\ park~and dedication not include public rights of way; 2)
That the proposal to extend Lake Chatauqua northward meet staff requiremen~s;
and, 3) That Tract H be approved for R11-2B zoning;. bu~ covenanted to t ~6 un~ts
pe~ net acre and minimum setback of 100 ft. for bu~ld~ngB from water sedge.
The Planning Director reported the request is in conformance with the
City land plan and that the CP (parkway business district) request is support-
able, but they recommend only dredginR of a 50 ft. channel for boat access to
Lake Chatauqua.
William Gilkey, attorney for the applicant, The Order'of AHEPA Supreme
Lodge' and William Blackburn as Trustee, gave an overview of the land and the
propo~a~s for development. An additional impact study will be prepared as
each tract is ready for development.
Diana Loughlin of Hofco, Inc., stated that economic studies of the area
indicated that the population would support a shopping center of 150,000
square feet.
Sandy Lloveras consulting engineer for the project, di~cussed the sewer
and water plans, drainage facilities, well.sites ~nd a retent~on lake ~ystem
for overflow for the area. Mike Kenton, C~ty Env~ronmental Plan~er, d~scussed
the environmental aspects of dredging Lake Chatauqua and excavat~ng. Arthu~
Kruse Chairman Emeritus, of the Planning and Zoning Board, suggested a f~rther
detaiied land use study of the area as it is impractical to establish zon~ng
at this time.
Commissioner DeBlaker moved for approval of the annexation and zoning
as requested for the 12 tracts described in the advertised public hearing
notice and as'amendeclper plan and per amendod oommunity impact statement,
SUbject to amendment of the Pinellas County Land Use ~lan by the Pinellas
County P1anninr, Council, SUbject to 10\ parkland dedication or equivalent in
caah, not to include any public rights-of-way and easements as shown on the
plan with additional one-half right-of-way for Allen Avenue, sewer service to
be provided by the City when available, and SUbject to the following covenants
to be properly filed as running with the land: 1) That there be no dredging
by the developers in the Lake Chata1J'lua marshlarea and no fill removal. 2)
That the location of County Road 102 north of the Lake area be SUbject to
staff approval, in order that environmental damage may be minimized. 3) That
individual community impact statements be presented with each area site plan
in order to properly locate retention ponds; control excavations and filling;
insure proper setbacks from all natural drainage areas, etc. 4) That the
existing tree barrier on the north side of Tract D be preserved and that maxi-
mUm heiRht of buildings on the north end of Tract D be two-story. 5) That
density be reserved--out of the total density allowed for the east tracts--
for the acreage reserved for the school system, should the school system not
take the tract, in.a manner similar to reservation in the ISP tract. 6) That
should the areas presently being zoned as CP and PS not be used for commercial
and professional purposes, residential density will be limited to 7.5 units
per net acre. (Also, present CP and PS zoning would exclude any residential
use.) 7) That Tract Il, although approved for RM-28 zoning, is covenanted to
16 units per net acre, and that no buildinn will be erected within minimum
setback of 100 ft. (range to be from 100 ft. to 200 ft. as approved by City
staff) from the water's edge (approximately at the 85 ft. contour line) and
that no parking areas be constructed within 100 ft. of the water's edge. Com-
missioner Rankin seconded the motion and then moved to amend Par~ 1 of the
motion by adding "unless approval is received from all City, County, State,
Federal or other applicable regulatory authorities for the d~edr.ing of Lake
Chatauqua." Commissioner Carwise seconded the amendment. Upon the vote being
