ITEM II. - Authorization for City of Clearwater to act on behalf of the CRA in awarding the contract for the demolition of the Kravas Building and transfer of $12,400 to the City to
cover the cost of demolition
The CRA purchased the Kravas property in order to provide visible parking on Cleveland Street. At the January 29, 1993 Joint Meeting with the DDB, alternative plans for the design
of the parking lot were reviewed and direction was given for staff to pursue Alternative 1 which provides 79 parking spaces and to immediately proceed with demolition of the building.
The City of Clearwater was in the process of bidding for the demolition of other structures and added the Kravas Building to that bid. As the CRA owns the property, it is recommended
that the CRA authorize the City to act as its agent in this contract.
There are sufficient funds in CRA Code #188-07000-560600-522-000 to provide the $12,400 to cover the cost of this demolition. These funds will be transferred to the City.
Member Berfield moved to authorize the City of Clearwater to act on behalf of the CRA in awarding the contract for the demolition of the Kravas Building and the transfer of $12,400
to the City to cover the cost of the demolition. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
It was indicated that during the Commission worksessions, 2 possible plans were shown to the Commission. One provided some green space and slight modifications to the existing parking
lot and resulted in 79 spaces. The other provided more green space in the
area of the existing building and did not modify the existing lot which provided approximately 75 spaces. It was indicated the first plan was the one preferred.
ITEM III.- Adjournment:
The meeting adjourned at 12:01 P.M.
