CITY OF CLEARWATER
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE
Minutes
October 3, 1984
The Beautification committee held its regular monthly meeting at the City
Hall Annex, 10 S. Missouri Avenue, on October 3, 1984, at 9:30 a.m. Members
present were Chairman Mikell St. Germain, Mr. Stephen Abrey, Mr. Robert Bicker-
staffe, Mrs. Rita Canan, Mrs. L. M. Clark, Mrs. Kathryn Peat, Mr. Dorr Snoyenbos
and Mrs. Emma Whitney. Mr. Frank Krame was excused and Ms. Pat Hennessy was
absent. Also in attendance was Mr. Ream Wilson, Director of Parks and Recreation.
The Chairman called the meeting to order and asked for a motion to approve
the September minutes. Mr. Abrey so moved and it was seconded by Mrs. Whitney.
New member, Robert Bickerstaffe, was introduced and welcomed to the Committee.
OLD BUSINESS - Waterfront Plan
,
The Chairman said the final hearing of the Waterfront ~lan was on the agenda
for Thursday's City commission meeting. She stated she had received a letter
from the City Manager in response to the letter from the Committee supporting
the Waterfront Plan and she read portions of it to the Committee. Mrs. Peat
said the plan has changed so much in the past two months and her concern is
whether commercial enterprise will be allowed or not. She is against any commer-
cial enterprise on the land purchased for parkland. Mrs. Canan said she was
against building a community hall on any property acquired, that it should all
be used for parkland. A lengthy discussion followed in regard to the changes
in the plan and especially to' commercial or private enterprise on any of the
acquired property. Mrs. Whitney felt the Committee should take a vote to find
out how members feel about commercial buildings on the waterfront and that some-
one from the'Committee should speak before the Commission on Thursday night. Mr.
SnoyeDbos felt that the Committee would be making a mistake to go back on the
'decision, to support the Waterfront Plan. He said there was nothing in the project
that commercial enterprise would be in the plan. Mr. Wilson said that final
decisions will be made at the Commission meeting on Thursday and said he was in
favor of the' Plan as proposed. He encouraged me~ers to attend if they wanted
to have input. It was decided the Chairman would write a letter to the City
'Manager and' Conunission and it would be hand delivered to the City Manager. Mr.
, "Abrey made the motion that the Conunittee take the position of further clarifica-
tion relative to any commercial building or any involvement in the Plan by private
,enterprise. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bickerstaffe and passed.
,The Committee also feels the referendum for the Waterfront Plan shOUld not
be held at a separate election but' included in the regular City 'election to be
held in February. Members felt a very small percentage of voters turn out for
a specia1' election in addition to it being too costly.

a. Waterfront Plan - The referendum for the Waterfront Plan is scheduled
for December 4th. The Committee is talking to various civic groups, homeowners
associations, etc., promoting the plan. Mr. Abrey said Mrs. Register... was accept-
ing contributions of $50 or less to help sell and market the plan to the citi~ens
of Clearwater. A brochure has been printed but at the time of the meeting was
not available for distribution. Members will receive one by mail.

b. Causeway Median Landscaping - Mrs. Clark asked about the $100,000 for
Causeway landscaping being included in the bond issue for the Waterfront Plan.
Mr. Wilson said it was included. Different means of accomplishing the Causeway
landscaping will have to be looked at if the referendum fails.

c. Causeway Parkin9 - This issue is constantly being brought up by citizens
but at the present time there is nothing new to report.

Mr. Wilson said that the Committee had previously expressed considerable
interest in a bottle bill and that this would be the time to pursue it for 1egi5-
'lative, action next year. Sen. Jeanne Malchon of St. Petersburg sponsored a bill
during the 1984 Session but it failed as distributors and stores oppose the
legislation. This is a state-wide issue and Mr. Wilson questioned whether the
Committee would be interested in aligning itself with other groups working for
a bottle bill. Discussion ensued and it was decided the secretary would call
Sen. Malchon's office for the latest information on the subject so it could be
discussed at the next 'meeting.

Mr. Wilson brought the Committee up-to-date on various projects. He said
the PACT site landscaping had been completed and Nursery crews were working on
the City Hall Annex planting dwarf oleanders and ground cover for low maintenance.
He said City Hall and the Cleveland Street medians, other than the 400 block,
will be done soon.

Mr. Abrey inquired about enforcement of median mowing. He was thinking
partioularly about the Delcher Industrial area where weeds are sometimes as high
as 4' to 5'. Mr. Wilson said that area is located in the county and is not the
responsibility of the City. He suggested members call the County if medians
are not maintained.
"
The Chairman Buggested having the December meeting at Moccasin Lake Nature
Park, so members could Bee what improvements have been made during the past year.
After a short discussion, Mr. Bickerstaffe made a motion to hold the meeting
at Moccasin Lake Park and it was seconded by Mr. Krame and passed.
Mrs. DuChateau asked about the Clearwater Beach sign and,Mr. Wilson said
it is on the list of projects to be done. Plans are to eliminate the berm and
relandscape the whole triangle with beach type vegetation and native plants.
The stickers for trash containers saying IlKeep Clearwater Sparkling--Let's
All Help" are being printed and will be ready in about two weeks. The IISparklingll
will be reflectorized.
Mr. Bickerstaffe asked about'City landscape and beautification projects in
progress or being planned and Mr. Wilson suggested having Chuck Dray, Landscape
Architect, come to the January meeting and tell about the projects planned for
'the City.
Mr. Abrey made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Mr. Bickerstaffe seconded
the motion which passed. The meeting adjourned at:lQ:2Q a.m.
