Wednesday. December 2, 1964, there being forty-eight in attendance, the matter of

In conclusion we urge that the City officials will act on this matter at the

PETITION
December 4, 1964
Mayor Robert Weatherly
City Commissioners
Clearwater. Florida
We, the undersigned, wish to voice our strong opposition to the pending
request for change in zoning to add a cocktail lounge to Rogers Liquor Store on
the corner of Keene Road and Gulf to Bay Blvd., Clearwater, Florida.
We chose our homes and property years ago because we knew this to be the kind
of neighborhood we wanted to live in the rest of our lives and raise our children
in. There are churches, schools and all residents are of good character and good
citizens. We are all very much opposed to a cocktail lounge in our neighborhood,
it is not the kind of environment that we want our family to live near. Also it
certainly would lower the value of our properties.
Signed by 27 persons

City t,�mmissioners
Clearwater, Florida
We, the undersigned, wish to voice our strong opposi�tion to the pending
request for change in zoning to add a cocktail lounge to Rogers Li��uor Stare on
the corner of Keene Road and Gulf to Bay Blvd., Clearwa�er, Florida.
We chose our homes and property �years ag� because we knew this to be the kind
of r�eighborhood we wanted to live in the rest of our lives and raise our children
in. There are churches, schools and all residents are of good character and good
citizens. We are a11 very much opposed to a cocktail lounge in our neighborhood,
it is not the kind of environment that we want our family to live near. Also it
certainly would lower the value of our properties.
