Mr. Chin said he contacted Steve Rockwell of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission in Tallahassee and sent 8 packet of information regarding the AI/en's Creek project.
The two expect to work toward developing a better habitat for wildlife as well as helping the City
with funding. He said' development will not begin until the County turns over that property to the
City. .
..~
Member Stuart .noted a lack of butterfly plants in the plans for Allen's Creek. Mr. Chin said
butterfly exhibits, such as one put together by Swiftmud at the Museum of Science and Industry
in Tampa, are being considered for the project. .
In response to a question by member Hammac, Mr. Dunbar said the Committee is not involved in
taking 8 position on bayfront development. City officials are exploring different ideas, and D City
referendum would have to be held. Mr. Dunbar pointed out development of the Bayfront Tennis
Courts has opened up the view at that area. with all work except demolition of previous courts
being done in-house. Mr. Chin said some reorganizBtion of the parking let and possible use of the
Lift Station as a practice wall are being considered.
Mr. Chin asked committee members to define its goals and areas of focus for the future. Member
Brown suggested the committee focus on providing input for the master plan. Mr. Dunbar said the
committee is the best forum to involve a community group and also attract more members. He
said the plan is expected to be completed between October and December of this year but will be
continuously updated with committee input. Discussion ensued and the committee agreed on that
. focus. Mr. Dunbar said he would talk with the mayor and ask the commission to actively seek
more committee members.
~..:.~.)
In response to 8. question from Member Hammac rogarding beautification plans for the
development at the former Sunshine Mall, Mr. Dunbar said that is automatic in City Code.
Not on the Aganda - In response to a suggestion of incorporating a millennium project into the
Memorial Causeway design, Mr. Dunbar said Engineering is receptive to the idea. He said the
committee should decide where a monument would be erected, how much it would cost, and who
would pay for it. Chair Blakemore said Chuck McPherson of the Clearwater Historical Society
suggested including the two figures of war heroes currently at the base of the causeway in the
new design. Member Hammac suggested placing plaques throughout the area highlighting history
of the area, such as one at Druid Road. Mr. Chin suggested input from citizens. Mr. Dunbar said
he would talk with Mr. McPherson and report back to the committee.
6. Parks Mast~r Plan - Lerov Chin. Parks. Plannino: and Projects Manager -
