The Zoning Board's recommendation was th9.t the re(fuest be denied for ~he reason thaL no hardship is shown and a~ additional living unit on t he lot will merely add to the prese11t congestion an the general area and the Board also thought that. further ex~ension of the present non-conforming use of the property was not desirable. A letter was read from ~~. Herbert Blanton, Sr., 812 turner Street, approving che requeGt. r~. John Bonner, speaking for 14r. ;Jlartin, explai ned that, his interpretation of t he non- conforming claus e of the City zoning ordi.nance was t.hat the owner has a duple~ and one unit apartment in the gara,;!;e no~~ and thRt the o\>mer could install tre second unit in the garage s Lnply under a buildin~ pe rmit and not apply to the Zoning Board for : permission. Mr. Martiq spoke explaining the requestD Mrs. Frank H.

Mrs. Lawence B. Hut~on, owner of Lot 2 less che south fifty feet, (adjoinin~ neighbor on t.oo east) objected to L he granting of c,he applic~tion staLing tha.t t- he pro perty was only 50' x 150' and if ~here were four units on it instead of three, it wi1~ simply add to the parking and traffic problem. It 'Was the Cit y AtLorl1ey's opinion that the owner could con~inue the use of three units on the rroperty, but that ~he Commission would not necessarily be required tiO allo~ .t.he owner to put in anor,her aFartmen~ unit as that muld be an excension of tihe non- conforrlline; use.

'l'he l'ilanager concurred in 1:.he Engineer's recommendation. 'l'he Engi n er informed the Commission that the plat, was in the Coun~y and was contiguo s to the City at one point.

Along Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, the City has customarily had an R-2 zone as a buffer between business zones ani R-~ zones. Such a zone exists on a portion of Loe 2 of the Replat of Lake__wood Subdivision which is situate to the East of the captioned property. ~he lots fronting on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard in t.his block cont..ain t.he Stardust Restaurant and other commercial buildings. '.J..'he land lying immediately Nort.h of these bui ldings and South of iny client.' s property is used as a parking lot fer tile Stardust Restaurant. In view of this it is submitted that. my mlient's property is unsuitable for R-l zoning and that to require construction conforming to R-l specifications iUl~ses an unnecessary hardship upon Mr~ Econoroides. It is respectiUlly subrnit~ed that to permit construction of a duplex .on the captioned proJ:e rey will be in harmony w it.h t he general pW'pose and intent of the Zoning Law whereby R-2 zones are established as buffers between busine9s zones and R-I zones and will result in substantial justice being done and the general\'elfare of the public secured.

Pdr. Herbert Browr.i outlined his client's request to construci; a building for his business to 'oe known as 'PModern Roofing and Shee� Metal Co,, Inc." He stat2d that plans were enclosed a�d that the buildin; would be loca�zd 100 feet south of the property immediately adjacent to the north. He read a copy of the � appraisal report made by IYIr. H. P. Consta ntine, Clearwater, which gave the market value estimate of the s ub jzct �ro perty if zoned to Fe rmit L he highest and best use as �5,1�G0. 0� ar13 under ihe exi st� ng z onino, it was appraised at �2,�50.00. He re�d a�ezter irom NIr. Roy E. Strickland, owner of propertp to the south of Bellnair �Lreet in �he Count y and owner of lots on th e east, ap�rovin� Lhe applicaLion. It was pointe� out that the present :'plan for the buildir.� was located differently from the one in the application of August 6, 1g�6, which was denied by Lhe Commission. Mr. M, L. ^lrnluck, owner of Lor,s 13-16, Block J; Mr. G, A. Norton, ov,xier of Lots 30-34, Block I, and Mr. Emmett Carpenter, owner of Lots 35-42, Block I, protested the �ranting of the application as thep theught Lhe businass would add dirt and confusion t� �he neighborhood and would be unsightly to th ose who lived there. A letter was read from Mrs. Phyllis H� I�eal, own er of Lots 26-29, Block Z, protesting the grant ing of the re quest on the basis that it was a residential neighborhood and v�ould �e � hardsinip on all other pro perLy oi,m ers if a vtarehouse was built Lhere. Mr.�`��led attention to the suit of the of ;vIiami versus ^thelma R. Hollis ar�d Nilton Schrier which he thougl�i would appl� to this z�ning case. It was the City Attorneyts opi.nion if Lhe application was denied and the applicant went to rkie Circuit Court, that the Cn�,u•t would apply this Miami case to th� situation and would instruct the City to grant the applicaLion; hoi�ever, the Commi�sion has the power to e,it��r grant or deny the petition at its discretion. after h2ving held this Public Hearing and f inding no valid legal objections� Comrnissioner Watkins moved that �he Gity Commission, sitting as a Board of Adjustment and Appeal an t�ie Zoning Ordinance, �rant the application of Mr. Maurice Holmes ar.d James Vinson for Lots 17 through 26, Block J, Second Addition to I�elmonG, according to the plot plan presented.

Mocre for Business usa�e of Lot 13, Block 5, Pinecrest Subdivision presently zoned R-2, f or use as an off ice and warehouse. The Zoning Board's recomme ndation was tha-t the application be granted because it was t he most advantageous use of the propert; and the consent of adjoining �roperty ovJners had besn obtained. t�lr. Kennedy spoke on behalf' af his client and presented a plot plan o.f the proposed building, A letter fram i�irs. i�label E, f�icHu�h, owner of Lot 11, Block 2, Pinecrest� was read which protested the granting of the applic��ion as �.ha: district was residential. A letter of protest was read from I�Irs. Willa P�iae, (Pounds) Blessing as she owned Lots $ and 9;. Block 5, arrl lives in one Y�ouse and rents the oth er. Her ot�jection was that such re-zoning would lower the va�.ue of the residential property and add to t he traffic congestion already present in tihe area. Mr. Moo.re spoke in his own behalf. After discussion, the I�Ianager suggested that the matter be refer�d back to the Zonin,g Board as the objections had come in since the Zoning Board considered � � ��'p,�£, -z- Cl2'Y CQ''�iT'iI�SION NiEETING March 4., 1957 the matter. Cocamissioner Insco moved that this be sent back to �he 'Loning Board .£or clarification and further study, in view of these obJ'ec�ions and that the Public Hearzng be adjourned �o �he meetin� of March 18th. Motion was seconded by Gommissioner Strang. Upon the vot�eing talcen, Commissioners Insco, Strang, Roberts and Homer vo�ed "Aye." Comm'ssioner Waticins voted "ATo.�' 1'he Mayor called a Yublic Hearing on the request af Mr. Wm. MacKenzie for Mr. Gust Economi.des for R-2 usage of �he south 75 feet of the norf;h 3$6 feet of the west 15U feet of LoL 1, Replat of Lalcewood Subdivision, groperi:y bein�; presently zoned h-l. The �onir�, Board's reco�unendation was that �he requesb be granted because 1:his seems to be the izi�hest and best use for the property and will also act as a buffer zone between R-1 and Business. Yhe Mayor in- quired if there were any objecLions from an�one in the audience and there were none. NIr. John Bonner, attorney, spoke on behal£ of the applicant and stated. that proposeq plans had been presented with the application. He inLroduced the minister of the Full Gospel Tabernacle, owner �f affected property in Lhe save block, �vho staLed he had no oUjectio�n. tifter having held this Public Hearing and havinj heard no valid cbjection, Commissioner Strang moved that the request of NIr. Gust Economides for R-2 usage of the south �5 feet of the north 3�6 feet er£ west 158 ieet of Lot 1, Replat of Lakewood Subdivision, be granted ir acc ordance with the recommendation of the Loning Board. Motdon was seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimously. x Public He�ring wss called on the reques� of Mr. Dick Martin to remodel an existing garage apartment on t he north 125 feet of Lot 1, Block 23, Magnolia Park, by converting garage area into an additional apartment, t he pro perty b viz�g presently zoned R-2. The Zoning Board's recon�nendation was th�t the request be denied for the reason that no hardship is shown and am additional living unit on t he lot will mz.rely add to the presen� congestion in the general area and the Board also thought that further exLension of the present non-conforming uae of the property was not desirable. A letter was read from �+ir, Herbert Blanton, Sr•. ,$12 1'urner Street, ap�roving the request. Mr. John Bonner, speaking for vlr. i+Iartin, �;cplained that his interpretacion of the non- conformin; clause of the City zon�r�; -ordinance was that the owner has a dupl�x and one unit apartmen� in the �ara;e now and that the owner could install the second unit in the garage si:�ply under a buildin� �rmit and not apply to the Zoning Board for � permission. �r . i�Iartin sFoke expl.aining the reque st . Nlrs , Frank H. Delameter, owner of the south 5C feet of Lots 1 and 2, �lock 23, (adjoining neighbor on the south) protested the Pranting of the applicatiom, stating that the pedesLrian and auto traffic around that corner was already congested and that the t a7ant in the garage apar�rnent now was parking his car across the sidewalk each ni�hi and another ter_ant of T�ir. PQartin's was parking a�ruck in the parkway bztween Lhe sidewalk and th e curb at night. Mrs. La�xence B. Hutton, owner of LoL 2 less the south fifty feeE, (adjoining nei,ghbor on tihe easti) objected to Lhe granting of the application s�azin� that Lhe property was only 50� x 150' and if Lhere ware four uniis on it instead of three, it will simply add io the parking and traffic problem. It was the City AtLorney's opinion tha� the awner could continue the use of three unit-s on th e�r operty, bui that the Commission would not necessarily be required i;o allow the owner tio put in ano�her a�artraent unit as that hould be an sxtension of the non- conformin� use. AiLer havin� held tihis Public Hearin� on the request of t�ick i.U;artin �nd havin� heaxd sufficient le�al valid objections, Commissioner Strang maea til-iat Lhe reques�c of Dick i�iartin - to remodel existin; �arage apartr�ent on ihe north 12 5 feet of LoC 1, Biock 23 , Magnolia Park, be denied in accordance with i.he recommerrlation of the ZoninP Board. Motion was seconded bp Commissior� r Watkins an d carried unanimously, H PubZic Hearing was announced on the.rzquest of Mr. Dwight S. Chappell for a seLback of eight feet from Eldorada Avenue and a six foot set}�ac k f rom Bohenia Circle for Lot l, Block �, Mandalay Subdivision. The Zoning Board�s reco�nmendation iaas that the request be denied but that a ten foot setback from Bohenia Circle and Eldorado be granted inasmuch as the corner lots to east and soutn are undeveloped and it v�ould establish a ten foot setback on B�henia Circle, t�tr. Chappell spoke in support oi his petition. After having held iY:is Public Hearing on the request of Dwight S. Chappel:Z, Commissioner Strang move� tr.at ihe request be denied but that a ten f oot setback from �henia Circle and a ten foot setback from Eldorado be �ranted in aecordance v��ith r,he recommerxlatio?: of the Zoning Board on Lot l, Blocic l�, Mandalay Subdivision, i�iotion was seconded by Comc�issioner Insco arti carried unanimously. The I�tayor announced a Fublic H�arin„ on the request of 1�Ir, George B. Cassell for Mr. Joseph J.

NIy client, Nir.

The said building will be placed on the lots facing to the South, and iL wi�l be set back far enough �anthe s�reet on the lats to allow a reasonable amount of off -the-street parking. i�ty client feels that inasr�uch as the property at present is zoned R-4, which is multiple dwelling, it would be radiculous f or him to do se since the propert3� is bounded on Lhe West side by 250 feet of railroad ironta�e, which said railroad is a main line and dozens of trains travel this track daily, z endering this property wh�lly unfit for t he purposes far which it is nuw zoned. I am sirnply asking for aLsage of this property that would be the hi�hest and best use to v�hich the propzrty can bs put, and this usa�e would only tie placed upon the sou�che rn-most portio n of th is 250-foot property. It would be approximately 100 feet from the property immediately adjacent to it on the north'y which said property at t1r� present time is adjacent to business zoning upon whiah there is located a�rocery store.

Also enclosed herewith is a cogy of an appraisal report that I wish to call to your ati.ention and re€er to you �er your considera�,ion, and upon being used bp �he Zoning Board would appreciate it if you would pass these along to the City Commission so that the}� can familiariae themselves wiLh bhis prior to its being 'arought up for public hearing. Also enclosed herewith is la�est G�urt exp�ession on this subject that I have been able to find. I� is a case that is approximately on all 4fs with the situation that we have here, and it leaves little to anyone's doubt as to what my client's legal positiion is. Hawever, �nasmuch as th is �tter is purely in your ha�ids ai the present Lime as the zoning board and the Bosrd of City Commissioners for an expression of opinion., I would ap�eciate it if you would allow this change in the usage, that is your prerogative under the zoning 7.aw of the Citg of Clearwater. A check of your records reveals that prior to 1Q52 tlzis property was zoned for husiness; that when the 195z mag was changed, this area was ��spot zoned" as :R.-l;, or mul�iple za�,ing, and a furthex check of' your present-day zoninP map will reveal L�13L LY11S is one of the vex3> few and small areasabutting en the railroad tracks that is not zoned fox business. It occurs t o m e that a denial of this usage to my cl�ent would be arbitrar:.y and confisca�,ory and wouldwork an undue hardship on himself and on th e City and County as well, due t o the fact tY�t the governing�bodies aforementioned would noz be receiving a proper amount in ta�ces--r.ot to menl:ion the effect tnat an increase in payroll and business would have upon the community, I trust that Iffay be notified when this matter comes before the Zoning Board and the CiL}r Gor�mission.
