' Old Business TREE PLANTING - Court Street .' 'Mr. Lindner,stated"that ,tree planting on Court Street was listed as " ,.being prdject #4. on Mark Roether, Nursery Superintendent's, priority list and , he asked Mr. Wilson for an update. Mr. Wilson stated Mr. Roether will submit ,a plan to the Department of Transportation to plant the trees and that it is on his schedule. ' , , ' TREE PLANTING - Manda 1 ay Med; an Mr. Wilson explained that the Mandalay Median is also on his schedule. However, Mr. Roether is hoping to wait,until after spring break and/or after' the first of June in order to obtain more rainfall. Mr. Wilson stated that Mr. Roether is planning to plant a foot or so in from the curb, to gain more , depth to place large~. plants-down the center of the median, with ice plants , along the border. 'Mr.'Wilson gave Mrs. Huber a copy of a plan for the :C1earwat~r Beach area which involves improving the appearance of Mandalay ,Avenue. The plan was written by the Blue Ribbon Task Force. Mr. Bickerstaffe asked Mrs. Huber if this plan corresponded with the ideas she had to spruce up the median and the shop fronts on Mandalay Avenue? Mrs. Huber responded yes, 1 , ' . " " . I I "... '., " . , ' I ' . '. ,'" ~ ~ but she felt that the plan would not go into effect in the very near future. Mr. Wilson suggested Mrs. Buber look at the plan and then submit her recommendations to him. Mrs. Ifuber stated that she had spoken to several of the Mandalay Avenue shop owners who told her that they would be happy to have some type planter. ete. (in front of the; r store) and that they wou td water it. Mrs. Moore suggested Mrs. Ifuber contact the Chamber of Commerce or Clearwater Beach Association to ass i st with the project. Mr'. Bickerstaffe suggested Mrs. l1uber contact L1le Cha irman of the Blue Ribbon Task Force, Arthur Deegan to see if she could coordinate her efforts with the Blue Ribbon Task Force to enhance the median and the store fronts on Mandalay Avenue. Mr. Lindner suggested she may want to talk to Georgia Rank, at the Downtown Chamber of Commerce. ":> TREE PLANTING - Druid Road Median ',.' :, ,~: : 'I,;' ';: ~ ~> .\I,~, . i.'" 1.hl ,('" J,.'.', '... ~"\ t ~ ~ ' t~.~ ,,' ..~~ '/'\ ::\:" '\ Mr. Bickerstaffe reported that Cecil Henderson, Assistant Director, Public Works Department, was very helpful and, Mr. Henderson stated that trees could be planted on the Druid Road Median. Mr. Bickerstaffe explained to members exactly where the tree planting could take place. He further explained that 'part of this median is on County property and the County should be contacted, through Cecil Henderson, to see if they would be willing to plant on their section of the median. Mr. Bickerstaffe proposed that the Committee make a recommendation to have the trees installed. Mr. Wilson stated that this would be considered part of the Street Tree Program and the adjacent property owner would be , responsible for paying $40 for each tree planted. Mr, Bickerstaffe asked if this also applied to right-of-ways and he responded yes. Mr. Lindner stated that a letter was sent out to the Mobile Home Park, adjacent to this median, and the Committee received no response from the property owners. Mr. Wilson stated before the Parks and Recreation Department could plant trees he would , require: 1. Public Works approval to plant trees on the right-of-way along with an aerial showing exactly where the trees could be installed. 2. City Manager's Office approval to plant trees at no charge to the adjacent property owner. ' Mr. Wilson recommended that the Committee write a short letter to the City Manager stating that the Beautification Committee encourages the planting of trees on the Druid Road right-of-way, between Belcher Road and U.S. 19. to the greatest extent possible, and as allowable by the Public Works Department. Further, the Committee requests that the trees be planted at no cost to the adjacent property owner thus, the tree' planting should be considered a City project. Mrs. Moore will write the letter and submit it to Mr. Hilson to send , to the City Manager's Office for his approval. ," ,." ."'.'1. ,~..~ .. >~ ,l ~ OJ :; ~,: '\ ,', '/ .-.." :0 i: " ~ ~ :', , ' ~ .~, ;~, .::( L. :.~, , ' '" I \'.~':.:, : t.l '/,,1 ,.:~ . ~ ~ :;' /'.:';1 ", , '.'; ..',' ,.,' ~: ' '11~', :,1 -; " ;',:' ~ .' \ :' i:;, :, , .

Mr. Wilson suggested the Committee invite John Richter, Code Enforcement Manager, to the May I, Committee Meeting to discuss their recommendation. Mrs. Moss read to members the information she had received from Tracy Bishop, Code Enforcement Officer, for the City of Port Orange, Florida. Members were in favor of the parking ordinances adopted by the City of Port Orange. Members were especially in favor of the new ordinance, recently adopted by the City of Port Orange, which does not allow residents to park automobiles on residential lawns. Members agreed to submit copies of this information to John Richter to obtain his ideas. Mrs. Moss informed members that Ms. Bishop had mentioned that there is a State Statute that the Police Department uses as a guideline when issuing traffic tickets for automobile parking on streets which reads: Cars cannot be parked on the street in residential areas if it is considered a limited access street. Ms. Bishop indicated that most residential subdivisions are classified as being limited access streets. Mrs. Moss,will ask Mr. Richter how the City of Clearwater enforces this Florida State Statute at the meeting. Mrs. Huber asked if the City of Port Orange provided any e,xtra parking facilities for it's residents. Mrs. Moss responded that they allow residents to park on the stretch of grass between the sidewalk and the street. Members were not in favor of this idea. Also, members discussed putting together a flier, such as the one sent by Ms. Bishop, to be sent out to area residents in their utility bills to educate the public. New Business Mr.' Wilson informed members that SWFWMD ;s allowing watering only one day a week for four hours. He stated that right now the City is using three water trucks filled with recycled water for irrigation purposes and there is no limit to the amount of recycled water that can be used. Mr. Wilson stated that the City may be looking into renting two additional water trucks (with water bil'l savings from watering one day a week on a four hour basis). Mr. Wilson stated that the Parks and Recreation Department is now working with Public Service to try to pipe effluent from the Water Pollution Control Plant at'Marshall Street, down through the Greenwood Community, to see if treated waste water can be run underground to irrigate City facilities such as: Martin Luther King Complex, Jack Russell Stadium, Greenwood Field and City parks. Mrs. Moss asked if the timers for all subdivisions within the City have been set according to the new SWFWMD guidelipes? Mr. Wilson responded yes. He informed Mrs. Moss that the timers would be set for either Tuesday or Wednesday. Mrs. Moss asked how she should proceed when manually watering one of the Morningside entrances? Mr. Wilson responded the entrance should be watered one day a week within the four hour window of time. Mr. Lindner asked if the SWFWMD guideline applied to well water also? Mr. Wilson responded this applied to all water types except recycled water. Mrs. Sollid asked when she should water when pesticides are applied? Mr. Wilson explained that when 3 , " ..'.:~,' " ,', J[ " . . ~ f''-'' , , ' : ;F':~~,:): \,;' " . .....;...:. .' ~~:~ ~'. ~:,,/. . k::":"::,,.: ~'"" .." ~~:~,<':.,': ,'" , l'~\. ..:,:.
