Dear Mr. Homer:
As you have probably 1earned the Senate Appropriations Committee, pursuant to our
joint request, has approved the $19,000 for a survey o~ the Little Pass Inlet.
Anticipating favorable action by the Senate I have already discussed the matter with
some o~ the House con~erees and have aSl<ed that they approve the inclusion of this
amount in their confe~ence reporc. If you recall due to the late date that the request
was made and pursuant to the strategy proposed it \'/as pla:med to request the money on
the Senate side. .
I am happy that we we~e successful in this e~fort and I anticipate approval by the
House.
With kindest regards, I am

Dear Sirs,
I object to the building of tne proposed new sewer in Betty Lane, which is to
:pe the subject of a pu.blic hearing July 22.
The problem facing Betty LanE property holders is the threat or heavy rains,
'incident to hurricane weather, fo~ecast for the Gulf. No sel'ler,projected now, ,
qoul,d g:tve u.s pI'otection :for many ltlonthe to come, almost certainly not before the ,

Protesting part payment of sanitary sewer in 1100 Blk. Betty Lane:
At the public hearing on 1'( June, 1957, 'ltle were asked whether or not we would accept
part payment of a ne\~ sewer line. Without consulting my husband, I said we would pay.
To connect us onto a transmission Ijl1e, was wrong in the first place. Now you are
asking us to pay for that mlstalce, making it doubly wrong. \f.'1oever is responsible,
the city or the builder, should rectify their error and pay.

The Honorable Mayor and City Commission:
Clearwater, Florida.
Gentlemen:
The notice reference the meeting of the City Commission on July 22, 1957 to
take up improvements on N. Betty Lane sanitary line has just reached me here. r
will be at this address until late August.
I have povler of attorney for my son - Donald J. \~ooll ey, \'/'ho O\'lns the property
at 1007 N. Betty Lane. He:l s in the Army and nol."l headed for Iran. I \'1il1 attend to
his local affairs untll he returns. S:Lnce the Conunission meeting that I attended
about a month ago, I have written him and he approved my action tal{en at that meeting.
He does not wish to pay for a new sanitary sewer as the present one that has been in
use for the past ten years has always and is now functioning satisfactorily. It has
caused no trouble to his property.
Since the above mentioned meeting last month, I have been: nvestigating this
s1 tuation and would like to submi t the follc\'ling comments for your consideration:
(a) This sanitary se\'ler was functioning perfectly until new additions, such as
Palm Terrace, Belair and others were added, causing an over load on this sewer. If
correct" then the new additions should pay for the new sewer. As the new 8 inch
sewer is inte~ded to care for some of the houses on Betty Lane caused by this overload,
those added later should pay for the new addition. However, the city approved these
plans and is in part responsible for approving a situation that caused an overload.
(b) I understand that outside water is enterj,ng this sanitary sewer line. If so,
correction of this item might correct the entire problem.
(c) It seems to me that new high speed sanitary pumping equipment could be
installed at the north edge of this area where a station now exists, Machinery of
greater capacity could correct this situation and eliminate any future trouble for
this area-and others on this line. No additional connections should be permitted
until a correction is made.
y,
It appears from the latest reports on the growth of Clearwater, that any
additional sewage, drainage and water needs should include the probability that the
city would soon expand to US 19 and north and south on that line. Therefore, any
new plans for additions and buildings should include plans for cost of sewage and
drainage-and sewage disposal plants-to be cllarged against the ne\'1 areas. Develo::pers
and all buyers should know this at the time of purchase. This plan should have been
in force-tne past ten years.
It is my opinion that the present situation is not the fault of any City
Commission or person, but the fact that this city has grown faster than anyone could
visualizE~~ including all of the members of the present City Commission. I have known
and observed most of the Commission members during my twelve years residence in
Clearwater. Without exception, they all have given their best efforts and judgment
in the interests of the city. I am sure that you are all of the same type. Your
City Engineer" Sid Luchtman, is one of the best I have ever observed. However, I
",do not believe that any of' you ten years ago could visualize the problems caused by
,the the sudden growth of Clearwater in the past rew years. This has caused most of
the present-difriculties.

CITY CO~U~ISSION f1EETING
July 22, 195r(
(Continued)
This brings me to the argument of Mr. Cassler last month. The sanitary problem
on N. Betty Lane is n city problem) not one for this small section. We, as individuals
are responsible for our acts-as are groups such as the CitY' Commission. The present
ci ty commission is responsible for the acts of pl"'ior Ci ty Conunissions. The houses on
N. Betty Lane in the Pinebrook subdivisIon were in the city when built and all plans
and connections approved by city offj,cials. Therefore, it is my opinion that the
ci ty should pay for thi s sanitary sevier correct 10n as it was caused by city growth,
not anticipated.

OBJECTIOns
Persuant to Noti ce of Public HearJ.n~ issued by the C:i.ty Conunission of Clear\'1ater
the undersigned, representlng Hosford Bracj,;:ett hereVlith submits his formal Objections
to the pl'oponed construction of an eight inch (8") sanitary SEMer 1n Betty Lane to
serve Lots 1 thru 11 inclusive, Bloc:c E, Pinebroo}c, Unit 2; Lots 8 thru 14, Bloc}{ F j
and Lots '7 thr1..~ 12, BlocJc G of Fairburn Addition.
1. \fnile realizing the need for a solution as t;) the Pj.nebroolc properties
wj.th the backflow of se\'ler vdth the 24- inch Trunkline there is no problem as to the
Fairburn property o\'mers and never has been due tCJ their :favorable high location.
There is, therefore -' absolutely 110 bene:fi t to Falrburn O\mers and it would be
unfalr to assess Fairburn (\\'iners for improvements solely to Pinebroo]c properties.
2. Fairburn Addition Subdivis~0n was taken into the city a little more than
a year ago over the str<m[,!; protest ci' property ol'rners. Plnebr00k Subdivision on the
other hand ha s been a part of the c1 tr :for man~l years. Neverthele ss, the ci ty now
attempts to tax Fairburn properties i'or benefits to PinebrooJ;: properties. Prior to
the annexation of Fairburn, septic tanks were Installed and now exist on properties
in that subd.Lv1sion. These have always operated in a hie;h1~/ satisfactory manner.
It appears that the c,~.ty impre'perly connected lots in Pinebrook i'li th the 21~ inch
TrunLline. rro correct any bacj'.f'lo\v i'rom the Tl'ul1;~line the S 1nch line to be
constructed \'TJ11 onl:l allevi.ate the pp<.:blem tila~c exists in Pinebrock. Pinebro(l}{
prcperty ol'rncrs SilOtlld the~"cf\)reJ in all fairness be charGed for thin benefit to them.
3. If' both Pinebroo>~ and Fairburn property C\'Tncrs are assessed for the proposed
8 inch line, Lots 1, 2 and 3 of Pinebr\:olc should yay for the ccsts of that port:Lon
of the line whi ch abuts the:\ r property. Tills portion of the l:Lne can not under any
stl"etcl1 of the imaGination be (1' benef:',.t to the Fairburn properties. If the city
\'lOuld construct the 8 inch line tc the south (If Luts 1, 2 and 3 the adjoining
landoi'rners to the 30uth of Palmetto Road should be assessed for the benef'i ts derl ved
from this section or the line.

Dear Sirs:
I am zubmitting a sketch of a lot I own, kno\m as Lot 8 in the Dre~'1 Park Subdivision
and to be knovln as l~06 Vine St., on \'lhich I plan to build a two bedroom house with a
carport to contain approx:!,mately 900 square feet of floor space exclusive of utillty
room and carport. Due to the narrowness of the lot of 50 ~eet it is necessary to
build to a greater depth. Inasmuch as the adjoining houses have a setback from front
pl"operty line of' 15 f'eet, I am asking for relief from the mandatory 25 foot setback
regulation to the more satisfactory figure of 15 feet. Five f'eet of the proposed
plans 'l'rould be an open porch, theref'ore the house proper \'lould have a 20 1'oot setback.
Please give this your earnest consideration.
Yours very truly,
Is / C..J. Thurnau

City Zoning Board
Clearwater, Florida
Attention: Mr. Anderson, Secretary.
Gentlemen:
This is to advise that I represent Nr. C. Hugh Hayes and Louise Hayes, Ilis wife, who
are the owners of Lot 5, Block 10 or Country Club Addition.
rilr. and Ivlrs. Hayes have recently had the dwelling house formerly located on this
property removed and 110\'1 desire to erect a ne\'1 dwelling hou.se, which will be a
decided beneflt and asset to the neighborh(;(Jd. HO\'lever3 a:fter having the plans
drm'm for their ne\'l home, tl1.e~T ascertained that the zoning regulations require a 25
foot set bacj~ on both Jack:scn Road and Nissouri Avenue. An investigation of the
neighborhood disclosed that there has been no hard and fast rule established, because
some of the homes ria./e a set bac!..; on ,Jackson Road of anY~lhere from 20 to L~O feet ~ and
this lHcewj.se applies to prcperties on Nissour Avenue.
Mr. and Mrs. Hayes would liJ.:e f.or thcir d\'JeJ.l:tn[;; tCJ have a 30 foot set back on
Jackson Road and a 15 foot set back on NiosOU1"'i J\.venue. Unless tll.i s can be done..
theIr property will cease to have any va:Lue to them as a home site,
It is my belief that t111 s is one case \'lhere an exceptl. on under the hardship provisions
of the Zoning Ordinu:lce shrnlld be ullGwcd and I shall appreciate your ravorable
considerat en of the matter.
Tl1ankin13 you) I am

The Honcrable Ma�or and City Commissjon:
Clearc�rater, Florida.
GEntlemen:
The r_otice reference Lhe meeting of the City Comm:i.ssion, on July 22, 1957 to
take up improvemenbs on N. Betty Lane sanitary line has ,just reached me here, I
i�r�.11 pe at tnls address until late August.
I have power of attorney for my son - Donald J. i+Joolley, �,vho owns the pioperty
at 1007 N. Betty Lane. He is in the Army anc� no�a headed for Iran, I will attend to
his 1ccal affairs until 11e returns. Since the Commissian meeting that I attended
about a month a�o, I have written him and he approved my action ta�cen at tYiat meeting,
He does not wish �E� pay fcr a netv san�tary sewer as �Ghe present one that has been in
use far the pasL ten years nas always and is n�u�� functioning satisfac�orily, It ha5
caused no trouble to his prooerty.
Since the above menbioned meeting last month, � have been investigating this
sit�_?ation and vrould J.ilke to submit �he following ecmments f�r your consideratic�n:
(a) This sanitary se�oer tvas functioning perfeatly unt:�l new add3ticns, such as
Pa1m Terrace, Belair and others werz add�d, causing an over load on this seWer. Zf
ca�rect, then the neU� additi�ns shculd pay for the new sewer. As the new 8 inch
se�ver is intenc��d to care for sc�me af the hou5es on Betty Lane eaused by this overload,
those added later should pay for t:�e netiv addition. However, the city appxoved these
plans and is in bart reaponsible i.or approving a situation that c�used an overload.
(b) I understand that outside water is entering thi.s sanitary sewer 1ine, If so,
correct�on of this item might corre�.t the entire problem.
(e) It seems to m� that new h;_�h speed sani$ary pumpir_g equipment c�uld be
installed at the north edge of this ax�ea where a station nokv exists. Machiner;� of -.
greater capacity could correct this situation and e],iminate any future trouble for
�his area-and others on this 1ine. No add3_tional connections should be permitted
un'cil a correction is ma�e.
It appears f.rom tne latest reports on �he growth of ClearUtater, that any
additional sewage, drainage and ���ater needs should include the probability that the
city wauld soan expand to US 19 and north and south on bhat line. Therefore, any
nEw glans for additions and buildirgs should include plans for c�st af secva�e and
drainage-and sew-age dieposal plants-to be charged against tne new areas, Devel�pers
and all buyers should kn��rr this at the time of purchase, This plan ahould have been
in force e past ten years.
It is my opin3.on that the present situation is nat the fatil� pf any G:Lty
CommS.ssion ar person, but the fact that �his c�ty has grown fasber than anyone c*�ulcl
vlsualize, includir.g all af the member� of the present City Commiusion. I have L.nnwn
anc� cbserved most of the -0omm3ssi,on members durin� my twelve years residence in
Clearwater. UJithout except3on, they a11 havc given their best et'fort� and t;tzd�ment
in the interests of the c:;_ty. T am sure that y�u are a11 of the same i;ype. Your
City Engi*�eer, Sid '�,uchtman, is ane o,f. �he k�est I have ever observed. Hc�wever, I
do no� believe that any of you ten years aga cauld �*isualize the problems caused by
the the sudden growth c�f Clearwater in the past few years. Thia has caused most of
the presen� difficulties.

CITY COMMISSION ME�TINv
July 22, 1957
(Cantinued)
This brin�s me to bhe argurnent of Mr, Cassl�r last mon�h. The san,itary probi�m
on N• Bett� Lane is a ci�y �roblem, not one fox this small sec�ion. Gle, as 3.ndividu.als
Ar� respo�sible for our act3-as are �roups such as the C3.ty Commissi.on. The present
cli:y commiss3,on i,s xesponsible for the acts of prior City Cominissions. The houses an
N, Detty Lane in the P3nebrook subdivision were ln the cit;� when built and all plans
and aonnections approved by c3.ty of�ic�.als. Thereiore, a.t is my opinxon that the
city ahc.uld pay for this sanitary sevaer correction as it was caused by city growth,
not antic:tpated,

Fairburn prape�ty oumers and never has been due t� 'cheir favcrable Y:�gh locatia�.
There is, therefare, abso�,utely z10 benefit to Pairburn ocmer. s and it ti�rould Ae
unfair to assess Fairhurn c�wners far lmprovements solely to Pinebrook pra�ertiea,
2. Fairburn Addit:Lon Subdivisian vras taken into the city a little m�re than
a yeax� ago over the stron� protest cf property ovan�rs. Pinebrooic Subdivis3cn on the
oth�r han,' `�,s been a part of the city for many years. Neverthel.ess, the city nevi
attempts �u tax Rairburn pxoperties for benefits tc Pinebraol: prcperties. Prior to
the annexation of Fairburn, sep�ic tan�ts raere installed and ncvr exist on prupzrties
i?z -�hat subdlvision, Tnese have al*,vay� �perated in a hi�hlST satisfactorar manner.
I� appears that the aity 3mpr�perly connec�ced lots in Pinebrqo?i vt��th the 2�F inch
Trtinl:line. To correct any backflow frc�m i;he Trunlfline the � ir_cn line to be

Dear Szrs;
I am submi�ting a s;retvi� af a 1ot I o,�m, icnot�m as Lot 8 in the Drew Park Subdivisir.n
and te be 1>�not,vn as �E06 Vine St„ oi1 tivhich I plan to build a tSva bedroam hause tivith a
car�ori� to con�Eain approx_�.ntately g00 square f'eet of flacr space exclusive of util� ty
ror�m and carport. Due to the narrowness of the lot af 50 feet i� ss ne�essary te
bu1Xd to a�reater deptt�. Iizasmuoh a� the ad;�oini�g houses have a setback from fr�nt
prapexty l�.ne �f 15 fce�, I am as3cing for relief fram the rnandatory �5 faat setbae,t
re�ulatl.on �o the mrare satisfacL-ory fi�ure �f 15 fee�t. Five feet of tne proposed
plans would be an open porch, �herefore the house pr�per would have a 20 foat setback.
P1eas� �yve this your earzzest ccsnsideratic�,Z.
Y�ura very trtily,

City Zoning Board

Attention: Mr. Anderson, Secretary.
Gentlemen:
This is to advise that I renresent Mr. C, Hu�h Hayes and Toui�e Hayes, his wii'e., who
are the otaners of Lot 5, Blocic 10 of Country Club Add:itioiz.
D'Ir, and Nlrs. Hayes have recenrly nad the dwelling house formerl�r 7,�cated ��n this
gropex�ty remaved and notiv desire to erect a neja divelling lzouse, whiclz will be a
decided benefit and as�et to the neighborhoad. Hocaever, after having the plana
dratnm for �heir new hQzne, they ascertained tha� the zanzng re�ulations requzre a 25
foot se� bac:1 or_ bcLk� JackSon Road and Nlissouri A�tenue, An investigatian of the
neighborhood disclosed tlzat there has been no hard and fast rule established, because
some of the homes havs a se� bac'_; on Jacksan Road of anywhere from 20 to 40 feet, and
this likewise applies �a praper�ties on Misspur Avenue.
A7r, and Mrs. Hayes cvould lil�e £or their dtvelling to have a 30 foot set bacic on
Jacksoi� Road and a i5 foot set back on Missouri Avenue, Unless this can be done,
their property ;vi11 cease to rave any value to �izem as a home s�te.
It is my beliei that this is one case tvhere an erception under the hardship provisions
of �lze Zon�ng Ord-lna.�ce should be a,llc�-led and I s:�all apprec3ate your favorable
cons�derat_cn of the inatter.
Than��ing yau, I am
Sincerely yours,
