Attached hereto is original drawing, site plan and letter. OHA:bk -------------~------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 9, 1957 Honorable Zoning Board of the City of Clearwater and the Honorable Mayor and City COInluissioners of the c~ty of Clearwater Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: I represent the Rev. C. B. Everett and Mary M. Everett, his wife, who constitute the trustees of the Full Gospel Tabernacle, and as such trustees they own the North l6l.~ feet of the South 457.4 feet or the East 124.5 feet or Lot 1, of a Replat or LAKEWOOD SUBDIVISION, according to the public records or Pinellas County, Florida, this being the Southwest corner or Rainbow Drive and Yelvington Avenue. My speciric request is that they be allowed to construct a Church thereon in accordance wit!l the plans and artist's rendering, which is attached hereto and made a part or this application. It is the plan of the Church to proceed immediately with the construction should your approval be given under the hardship clause of the Zoning Act of the City of Clearwater. You will note that they plan ample off-street parking for Church goers, and the structure will be beneficial to the neighborhood, replacing a veritable undergro\'1th of un){ept grapefruit trees, weeds, and other nondescript roliage. I believe that you will agree that ample precedent for the placement of churches in areas zoned such as this one has been set here in the city of Clearwater. I should lilce to be present at your zoning board hearing and be notified of its public hearing before the City Commission of the City of Clearwater. For your convenience, this is shown on Page 17 of the City Plat Book. Very truly yours, /s/' Herbert M. Brown Attorney for Rev. C. B. Everett and Mary M.

Whitehead, City Cle�k Dear Sirs: The undersigned has received notice that the City Commission of the CitSr of Clearwater, Florida, sitting as a Board af Adjustment and Appeal and ac�in� under th� authority of the City 2�nin� Ordinance, will conduct a Public Hearing at Gity Ha7.l on Monday, May 27, 1g5`7, at 1:30 P.M. as reoards a requesL submitted by the Trustees -- Fu11 Gospel Tabernacle, to ereet a church on a pazrtion �f Lot No, l, Replat of Lakeutood. The Llndersigned is presently a re�ident of the City of Dayton, however, ;�as purchased ground adjacent to the arsa in question for the purpose of constructing a resider_ae and establishing same as a permanent home within the very near future. One of the motivating �actors in our acquiring this particular tract was the fact that it was zoned R-7. and, as expl�ined to me on a recent trip to Florida, is str�ctly residentlal. It 3s my feeling that {�he area �hould remain as originally zoned, that is, residential, and non-e9nforming uses or any variatians ttierefrom should be prohibited. >i ° � � \: /' W � � CITY CO'�IMZSSIQN MEETZNC� May 27, 1957 (Continued) Please accept this letter which will be del,ivered'to yau by Mrs. Geo�ge Econotnides, another instant px�opert3* awner, as our oU,jec`3on -Go a favorable considerat3on on the petition of �he Trustees, and am a�ainst it.
