and presentl.~d by. aerial ,p?-o'cograph and dra",ixlgs the following
points concerning his proposed planning for tho airpark area:
In That 'the air approach pattern at pri)s'3nt involved the
use of aJl thr'He runways..
" 2u That the air approach pattern 'vlould be changj,n,~ to a
right hand movement. (clock'\'dsfJ) :nv~h that traffic could
be" diverted mainly toward indmJ~~I'ial ar'eas rathe r than'
the single family areas as in the p.:1.st (r&=!.jOl:' objecttons

to the 'proposed junior high site as nO\-i being contraoted
for \-lith lJlr.. Hancock"
. "or...,
40 ffhat if the present north\ieGt-southeast runway were re-
oriented to approxi.mately 40 degree 0 north, then such a
rw;.nlJay extension" could accommodate approximately 95/~ of"
the air traffic, but \'/ou.ld necessitate an extension into
the proposed Bchool site..
5" Such a proposal as illd'icated in paint 114 \'lould involve
an exchange of property but that the school ro quirement
may be met in this area,an1 possibly v.uuld be adjoining
property. to the east of the existing Lit tIe League and Pal
"League Ball Parks" Such .exchange ,,;ould be through the City
and the Pinellas CQunty Board of Public Instruction..

reasona:
(1) Such extension would aervu only a 9maJ,1. popula.tion
in a s~\':i,:fie area and is not neces:9ury. trhe normal
southbound tr!li,!'ic from this area. can be via Poinsettia
Avenue rather. than ~ast Shoro Drivo. There. is no prob...
.lem 'concarning northbound traffic originating on
'Narianne Street co .'
(2) Such extension Hould require additional controls for
c!."oss traff.ic; interrupt and retard the lllc'ijor tl'afi'ic
movement to the beach"
(3)
Such extonsion could not be co-terminus with the
pre sent pavement on East Shore. Drive and 'WOuld creatte
additional traffic ha.zards and conflict with the
. .necessai;'Y lminterrupted lane changes in this area'o
(4) Such extension would create another major junction
on Causeway Boulevardo
