The Bahama Shores Neighborhood

The Bahama Shores Neighborhood

The early years of Bahama Shores

1920's:

In the 1920's, the area we now know as Bahama Shores was known as Alta Marina. B. F. Stephenson developed it from 56th Ave. S. to Knox Ave. S. (what was to become Bahama Shores Dr. S.). Mr. Stephenson built two homes initially. The first home was on the corner of 3rd St. and 63rd Ave. S. The second was on the southwest corner of 3rd St. and 62nd Ave. S. At this stage in our neighborhood’s history, the waves of Tampa Bay lapped at the back yards of these homes.

The bus line started service to the neighborhood in 1927.

1940's:

In the 1940s, a few homes were built on 4th St. S. In the mid 1940's, Mr. Stephenson's interests were sold to Mr. Robert Lyons. He later brought in fill dirt that pushed out the bay and doubled the size of the neighborhood. The area was formally platted as Bahama Beach.

On February 26, 1948, the Bahama Beach Homeowners Association held its initial meeting at the Lakewood School. About 50 homeowners were present. The Officers and Directors were as follows:
President H. S. Slocum
Vice President O. D. Cloakley
Secretary & Treasurer Dr. Donald Truscott
Directors C. E. Rebert
Ray E. Dugan
J. C. Reinbold
C. B. McCartney
The Association was formed as a non-profit organization solely for the purpose of community betterment and property protection. Dues were set at $10 per year.

On August 3, 1948, Bay Shore Dr. S. and Knox Ave. S. became a continuous street named Bahama Shores Dr. S. It was during this period that major improvements were made in the neighborhood. Streets were paved, storm sewers were installed, trash collection was implemented, telephone service was improved, and better bus service was added to the entire Pinellas Point area.

The Bahama Shores Hotel & Yacht Club was constructed in what is now Westminster Shores at 56th Ave. and Tampa Bay. The hotel was a beautiful establishment overlooking Little Bayou complete with 120 luxurious rooms and hotel apartments, a large swimming pool, tennis and shuffleboard courts, air-conditioned lounges and restaurant, a dancing pavilion, snack bar, grill, and cocktail bar. Membership dues for the Yacht Club were $60 per year. The Association held meetings and dances at the Club. The annual election and dinner meetings were typically early March.

On December 29, 1949, the Association acquired the waterfront lot for $10!


1950's:

With the building boom of the 1950's the neighborhood grew rapidly. Deed restrictions, controlled by the Bahama Beach Homeowner's Association, regulated the building in Bahama Shores. The restrictions were voted in by the homeowners in 1947 and were enforced by the Board of Directors. The original Chairman, Walter B. Decker, and his colleagues got the zoning in Bahama Shores declared Rl (residential). This zoning prohibited the construction of high-rise structures. William F. Gorman, who also developed Brightwaters Blvd. in Snell Isle, was the major builder/developer of the area at this time. The major architect was George C. Buchtenkirk.

Some homeowners complained about the noise and exhaust made by the Bee Line Ferry which ran from Pinellas Point (present day Bay Vista Park) to Piney Point in Manatee County near Bradenton. The Beeline Ferry Company, formed in 1926, had been running a ferry service across the mouth of Tampa Bay for many years since, at this time, the Gandy was the only bridge across the Bay. This problem was solved, when on September 6, 1954, the first span of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was opened and ferry service discontinued soon after.

In 1956, the city sewer system reached the neighborhood, and all the houses were connected. Many homes still have remnants of the septic tanks in the back or side yards.

About the mid 1950's, the Bahama Shores Hotel & Yacht Club was sold to the Methodist Church and became the St. Petersburg Methodist Home. This meant that the homeowners had to move their dinners and dances to the Lakewood Country Club, or occasionally to the Sunset Golf and Country Club on Snell Isle. Beach parties at the waterfront lot were held frequently.

The Latter Half of the 20th Century

1960's:

There had been a Garden Club in Bahama Shores since 1949, which was affiliated with the St. Petersburg Garden Club. In 1961, the President of the Bahama Shores Garden Club organized the first beautification project at the waterfront lot. At that time, there was little grass and many sand spurs, and no seawall. Neighbors frequented the sandy beach that extended out from the waterfront lot into Tampa Bay. Also, at this time there were plans to build a dock where residents could tie up their boats. This was never carried through.

The Pinellas Bayway opened in 1961, connecting Bahama Shores and all of Pinellas Point with St. Petersburg Beach.

In 1962, Bay Point Junior High School held its first classes. There were 322 ninth-graders in the initial year.

In December 1962, there was a freeze that killed all of our exotic plants and trees. To this day, coconut palms have never been able to re-establish themselves to any great degree.

In the early 1960's, a tornado touched down in Bahama Shores at 62nd Ave. and 3rd St., damaging several houses and knocking down trees.

In 1963, there was another waterfront lot improvement plan proposed. A tennis court was suggested but the plans failed to materialize. Later that year streetlights were first installed in the neighborhood.

In December 1964, a pilot from MacDill AFB ditched his plane in Tampa Bay. He parachuted to safety only to find himself stuck high in a tree on Bahama Shores Dr.!

In the mid 1960's, Hurricane Cleo caused extensive damage throughout the Pinellas Point area.

In 1969, under the leadership of Jesse Stroud, president of the Bahama Beach Homeowner's Association, the deed restrictions for our neighborhood were extended until January 1, 2000. Also, in 1969, regular garbage collection was instituted by the city. Prior to this time, trash and yard clippings were piled up in vacant lots, much to the dismay of the city and the neighborhood association. Collection was every Wednesday. Curbside mail delivery ceased in 1969, in favor of the present system of the front door delivery. Also at this time, the city Parks & Recreation Dept. proposed a landscape plan with a patio and sidewalk for the waterfront park.

1970's:

In 1971, the St. Petersburg Methodist Home changed its name to Sunny Shores Villas. They proposed tearing down the forty, three-room, flat-roofed buildings, and replacing them with two two-story buildings, a three-story building, and a four-story building. This proposal was hotly protested by the Homeowner's Assn., and subsequently denied by the city.

In 1972, St. Petersburg launched a beautification drive. This drive lead to the formation of the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA). The Bahama Beach Neighborhood Association was a charter member of CONA.

The properties on either side of the waterfront park had been seawalled but the park still had a beach. This was causing erosion problems for the lots on each side of the waterfront park. Following Hurricane Agnes the park itself was seawalled in 1973 at a cost of $3180. Around this time. a study was conducted regarding selling the waterfront lot. Some neighbors complained that the waterfront park was an eyesore. It was determined that a sale would have to be approved by the full membership of the Bahama Beach Neighborhood Association.

Robert Stewart, who was a Pinellas County Commissioner at the time, was elected to the Board of Directors in 1972, and served as president in 1974. He ran unsuccessfully for City Council in 1975.

In 1978, after 30 years in existence, the annual dues of the Bahama Shores Homeowners Association were increased for the first time to $15.

1980's:

On the morning of May 9, 1980, a freighter smashed into the south span of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Many homeowners suffered damage to their property such as cracked ceilings and cracked pool enclosures as a result of the noise reverberation.

The 1982 Annual Meeting of the Bahama Shores Homeowners Association was held at the Lakewood Country Club, and was the last formal banquet meeting for the neighborhood. Since that time the Annual Meeting has been a more casual affair. Beginning in the fall of 1982, the `Block Party' was held under the large banyan tree at the corner of 3rd St. and 63rd Ave. The Association provided fried chicken, a keg of beer, and soft drinks. Neighbors brought a covered dish. This tradition continued until 1988, when the party was moved to the waterfront park.

In 1982, the dues were raised again to $25 per year.

In 1982, the neighborhood newsletter was started.

Under the leadership of Association president Tommy Todd, a beautification effort began in Bahama Shores. The project started initially with the first island of the median on 60th Ave. S. at 4th St.

A Crime Watch program was initiated in 1982 and directed by Bob Blank who was also on the Board of Directors. Due to lack of volunteers, the program ceased in 1986.

In the mid-eighties, the movie "Cocoon" was shot in St. Petersburg. The nursing home scenes were filmed at Sunny Shores Villas (presently Westminster Shores). The tour boat "Captain Anderson" would make a regular stop just off Bahama Shores to point out where the movie had been filmed.

In 1983, access to the reclaimed water system for lawn maintenance was first offered to residents of the neighborhood.

On Labor Day weekend in 1985, Hurricane Elena arrived. Police warned Bahama Shores residents to evacuate to the shelter at Lakewood High School. Most residents stayed in their homes. High tide unfortunately brought some flooding into the streets, the yards, and some homes.

In 1986 a yard sale to benefit the Bahama Shores Homeowners Association was held, and the tradition continued for a number of years. Money was raised for the 'greening' of the neighborhood lot.

In 1987 thanks to the hard work of Association president, Tommy Todd, and his crews along with the work of dedicated Bahama Shores neighbors, the Homeowner Assn. Block Party was held for the first time at the waterfront property. In 1989, many of the large beautiful oak trees that can be seen in the park today were planted.

In 1988, Sunny Shores Villas petitioned the city to vacate right-of-way access on 56th Ave. S., 57th Ave. S. between 2nd St. and Bahama Shores Dr. S., and Bahama Shores Dr. between 57th Ave. S. and 58th Ave. S. With the assistance of a lawyer and more than 170 homeowner's petitions, the request was denied.

1990's:

In 1992, the `Bahama Shores Bugle' was born as the neighborhood newsletter. In late 1992, after serving the Bahama Shores neighborhood for ten years, Mr. Tommy Todd stepped down from his post as Association president. Many of the community-oriented projects that beautify our neighborhood today were organized, implemented, and completed during his tenure. The landscaping in the waterfront park and the beautification of the median on 60th Ave. were but a few of the projects that he coordinated. The Bahama Shores neighborhood will be forever grateful to Tommy for his dedicated, hard-working efforts on the behalf of this community.

In 1993, the median on 60th Ave. S. was landscaped with oak trees. In addition, new street signs were installed with the ‘dolphin’ symbol to coordinate with the neighborhood logo.

In 1994, the Association dues were raised to $35. The old concrete pathway in the neighborhood park was replaced with a new one that curves along the north side of the park. The patio area along the seawall was also added.

In 1995, with a new editor, there was a re-incarnation of the neighborhood newsletter. By the December 1995 issue its name had evolved into “The Breeze".

With the first of many Neighborhood Partnership Grants, the 60th Ave. S. median from 4th St. to Bahama Shores Dr. was landscaped and mulched.

In 1997, lighting was installed in the oak trees along the median. A neighborhood planning committee was formed to identify issues such as traffic calming and to implement various strategies/projects.

In 1998, Bahama Shores Neighborhood Association dues were increased to $40.

In the spring of 1999, the Association unanimously approved a Traffic Calming Planning Committee. Streets proposed for some type of traffic calming were 56th Ave. S., Bahama Shores Dr. S., 62nd Ave. S., the intersections at 3rd St. and 58th Ave. S., 3rd St. and 63rd Ave. S., and 4th St. intersections. The plan was presented to the neighbors at the Fall 1999 Association meeting and party. All was approved except for traffic calming along Bahama Shores Dr. The actual implementation of the project would not get under way for another three years. Some work failed to materialize either due to the city or due to affected neighbors voting it down. At this time, the Neighborhood Partnership Grants were negotiated with the city for the purpose of improving the main entrance to the neighborhood at 60th Ave. and 4th St.

2000 and Beyond.....

2000's:

In 2000, Association dues were increased to $50 per year. This increase was scaled back to $40 in 2001, but subsequently raised again to $50 as the needs of the neighborhood changed.

In 2001, due to the hard work of Association president, Jan Norsoph, former president Tommy Todd, and dedicated neighbor, Greg Belew, the Neighborhood Entrance beautification project was launched with the beautiful 4th St. landscaping on either side of 60th Ave. S., the official entrance to the Bahama Shores neighborhood. Grants from the city, backed by a commitment from the Association that the neighborhood would maintain the landscaping, funded this project.
The project was based on a multi-year plan scheduled for completion in 2006.

In 2002, Kathy Johns took over the responsibilities of Association president. Kathy had been actively involved in the Association since 1997, first as a director, secretary, and then as Vice President, during which time she also took over the publication of the Breeze, our neighborhood newsletter (which she continued to publish until she stepped down as president in 2004). Under Kathy’s care and guidance, the 4th St. beautification project continued to expand north and south along 4th St. with new grants from the city being negotiated each year. Kathy successfully rallied neighborhood participation for the much-needed upkeep of the sections of the 4th St. project that were already completed. In addition, Kathy oversaw the successful implementation of the neighborhood Traffic Calmimg project. Working with the city, she overcame some traffic calming issues and managed the installation of traffic islands on 63rd, 60th and 57th Avenues. During this time the neighborhood enjoyed some of its most successful picnics and volunteer efforts thanks to Kathy’s hard work. The Association also started organizing annual 4th of July parades around this time which were enjoyed by many in the neighborhood, both as particiapants and spectators.

In 2004, hurricane threats again caused constermation in the neighborhood. Misleading projections for Hurricane Charley in the Gulf of Mexico showed the hurricane blowing directly into Tampa Bay. St. Petersburg police attempted to evacuate the neighborhood in preparation for its arrival. Fortunately for Bahama Shores, the hurricane turned inland 100 miles to the south in Punta Gorda where it did extensive damage to everything in its path.

2004 was a memorable hurricane season in that four major hurricanes blew around and over the neighborhood during that time: Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne.

In 2005, due in part to the hurricanes of the previous year, it was determined that the seawall in the waterfront park needed to be repaired. BSNA president Kathy Michaels, along with the dedicated efforts of other Association directors, worked to keep the waterfront park a beautiful part of our neighbothood. Thanks to the hard work of the Association and the contributions of many Bahama Shores neighbors, the seawall was repaired and recapped for $15,000. Unfortunately new city restrictions meant that it was not feasible to re-install the stairs that once led from the seawall cap to the Bay.

2006 and 2007 were uneventful years. The serenity of the neighborhood was unbroken by nature. One large geographical issue did raise its head in the neighborhood. Our neighboring partner at West Minster Shores retirement community decided that it was time to upgrade the residences in the community. The initial presentation of the plan for new buildings to the Bahama Shores Neighborhood was met with disdain. Several communities including Bahama Shores banded together to challenge West Minster Shores in regards to building height, setbacks along Tampa Bay, and design of the planned structures.

In early 2008 after almost 3 years of faithful duty to the neighborhood, Ms. Kathy Michaels stepped down as President of the Bahama Shores Neighborhood Association. Many thanks to Kathy for her hard work and dedication to our beautiful neighborhood. As one of her last acts, it was her pleasure to relate to the neighborhood that the challenge to West Minster Shores was a success. Due to the diligence of some very dedicated neighbors, West Minster Shores completely redesigned its plans for the new West Minster Shores community. The new plans were a huge compromise to the original design which will be of benefit to both the West Minster community and to the surrounding neighborhoods, including Bahama Shores, for many years to come.

That's about it to date. Bahama Shores is a beautiful neighborhood in which to live. The efforts of those past and present residents determined to maintain a certain caliber of lifestyle have kept this neighborhood growing in natural beauty and warmth of community. Many thanks to those folks for their efforts on our behalf.

Many thanks also to Bahama Shores Neighborhood Association Historians Joan Frank and Leslie Belew for their contributions to this historical narrative of Bahama Shores.

BSNA Board of Directors

The Bahama Shores Neighborhood Association Board of Directors makes decisions on behalf of the association members in pursuit of a cohesive, friendly community in such matters as the beautification of the neighborhood, social events for the neighborhood residents, and neighborhood safety.

The Board of Directors is composed of 9-11 members. The Board members include a President and Vice-President (or co-Presidents), a Secretary, a Treasurer, and at least five, but no more than seven other directors, including a Historian.
