Apparent Resolution Involving Crest Lake Park
October 6, 1976
A purported resolution of the City Commission of the City of Clearwater
dated December 12, 1938, purportedly involving the use that can be made
of Crest Lake Park has been circulated. The question arises with respect
to the language contained in the purported resolution which specifies that the
Park be dedicated to public park use only.
:From the materials presented, it appears that the City Commission itself
in December of 1938 sought to impose a restriction on the use that could be
niade of the park now known as Crest Lake Park. The question that arises
involves whether or not this purported restriction placed on the property by
that City Commission is effective to bar a subsequent City Commission from
utilizing the property for another but different or possibly different public use.
The general rule normally recognized by municipalities in the use of property
is set out in McQui1linMUn~ Cori'-~ (3rd Ed. ) Section 28. 24, wherein the
author s point out as follows:
"*****It is the general rule that, unless the property has
been dedicated to a use which has not been abandoned, the
fact the property is acquired by a City for a certain declared
purpose and so used does not deprive the City of power to use
the premises for other public purposes." See also Pearlman
v. Anderson, 307 N. Y.S. 2d 1014.
The question is further complicated by reason of the fact that in certain situati
namely, where a private owner or ln some cases another government dedicate
land to a governmental entity for a specific purpose, such a. dedication when
properly accepted is effective to place a restriction on the use of the land sud
as will interfere with the changing of such use to another public use. This
concept is explained by the author in McQ\li.Uin'MWi.-Corp. (3rd Ed. ) Section
33. 74, wherein it is pointed out as follows:

Honorable Mayor and Members of

If And if land is dedicated as a public highway 'and for
other public purposes, I it may be used for public uses
other than highway. If property is dedicated to a particular
purpose', it cannot be diverted therefrom by the state or
municipality except under the power of eminent domain.
Where, however, dedication is made by the state, the intention
of the state controls the use, and the state may change the
original use for other public uses. And, furthermore, where
the public, as distinguished from a private owner, is the dedicator
the grant generally speaking will be deemed to be unrestricted
or if restricted will be less rigidly construed. ***>:<***;'< To constitute
misuser or diversion, the use made of the dedicated property
must be inconsistent with the purposes of the dedication or
substantially interfere with it. "
It is generally recognized that the intent of the dedicator of land must be clearl)
and unequilrocally manifested. Dedication is not presumed. McQuillin Mim.
Corp. (3rd Ed. ) Section 33. 37 and Section 33.38. The problem which arises
in the instant situation surrounds the purported resolution and the language
contained therein. The language of the resolution is not supportive of a
conclusion that the private property owner transferring the property to the
City was doing so in the form of a dedication or utilizing language intending
to impose a restriction on the USe of the land. The language is more supportive
of a conclusion that the City COmmission itself sought to impose such a
restriction on the land as would prevent future City COmmissions from changing
the use to some more public Use.
Therefore, it appears from the information presented that a true dedication
has not Occurred in this case. That instead a previous City COmrnis sion
has attempted to act in such a way as to bind a future City Commission in
the general public use of property possessed by the City. In the absence of
further documentation demonstrating a true effective dedication passing to
the City from a private or other governmental entity and acceptance of that
dedication by the City, it would be my opinion that the subject resolution would
not be effective to bind the present City COmmission in its determination with
respect to the use that should be put of the property~--

~ ITEM 110
City Mana~er Reports
Library Site Analysis Report.
The City Manager reviewed the requirements of the Public
Works Act and reported the money had not yet been allocated.
The City will probably submit their ~pplications for funds
in about two weeks.
A Libary Site Analysis dated September 30, 1976, Was
prepared by the Staff and stated three basic questions must
be answered for each site to be given consideration: I, it
must be large enough; 2, the Strength and weaknesses of this
site relative to the alternatives; and 3, the effect on the
environment by construction on the site.
The following six sites were considered:
1. The existing Library site.
2. City Hall parking lot On Osceola.
3. Tennis court and old auditorium site.
4. Crest Lake.
.f~~
5. City Hall Annex.
6.
Starcrest.
The City Manager requested that site number two, the
City&ll parking lot on Osceola, be withdrawn. The other
sites were throughly discussed and slides shown of the areas.
The City Manager read into the record a letter dated
October 7, 1976, from Olsen, Purdum & White, Inc., structural
engineers in St. Petersburg, Florida, stating that the pres-
ent library building is structurally safe. A second floor
could be safely added but would require "beefing up" of the
first floor and additional supplementary floor joists.
A number of citizens spoke in favor and in oPposition
to the various sites. Jim Bowman presented a petition with
approximately 1,000 signatures in oPposition to a library at
Crest Lake Park. The majority of the citizens speaking on
Crest Lake Park requested it be kept as a park and not be
used for a library. There were no citizen Comments on the
old auditorium site Or the Starcrest site. James Taft spoke
in favor of the Annex stating it was a good area and a strong
building and recommended all departments of the City be in
one place by building an addition to City Hall.
Commissioner Carwise moved that the library be located
on Site II, the Site of the existing library. Commissioner
Frank seconded the motion and commented on the one criterion
that vas not included in the data sheet: "for maximum use
a Site should have pedestrian traffic generators in the immed-
iate vincinity." Commissioner DeBlaker stated ~he supports
the overall concept of a main library and branches but had
Concerns about the operating costs, sufficient parking, and
thzt it be in a convenient location for the people. Upon
the Vote being taken, Commissioners Carwise, Martin and Frank,
and the Mayor voted "Aye"; Commissioner DeBlaker voted "Nay."
Motion carried.
