The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by the City
Attorney. The Mayor announced the purpose of the meeting was to hold a public
hearing to consider items to be included in an ordinance amending the City zoning
law and zoning map and then asked the City Planner to read the requests.
ITEM #1 - request of CarlO. Davol to change from R-4 (multi-family) to B
(business) Lot 12, less E 76' Lembo 'Sub. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended
denial of the application. Mr. Donald O. McFarland, Attorney. representing the
applicant asked to withdraw the request. Commissioner B~umfield moved that the
request for withdrawal be accepted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Stephens
and carried unanimously.
ITEM #2 - request of G. Gordon Bergeson & Merwyn Hassell to change Lots 9 &
10 Block B, Keystone Manor Sub. from R-2 (dup1ex) to B (business). The Planning
& Zoning Board recommended denial. Mr. Merwyn Hassell, one of the applicants
requested withdrawal of Lot 9, from the request, but since the house on Lot 10 is
deteriorating he would build the flower shop on it, and would obtain deed restric-
tions protecting other land owners in the vicinity from a gasoline station, used
car lot or body shop going on that piece of property. Commissioner Brumfield
moved that Lot 9 be withdrawn from the application. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Stephens and carried unanimously.
Mrs. L. W. Brennan, 1661 Drew St., asked if this was spot zoning, but she was not
opposed to the flower shop. There were no other verbal Objections. Commissioner
Brumfield moved that the request of Mr. Hasse~l be granted as to Lot 10 subject
to the following: that when title is passed from Mr. Be~geson to Mr. Hassell that
the deed contain restrictions or covenants running with the land that will provide
that no filling station, body shop or used car lot shall ever be allowed to be
operated on these premises and that the City Attorney be directed to include this
in an ordinance changing the zoning map of the City of Clearwater and bring this
back as early as possible. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Stephens. Upon
the vote being taken Commissioners Stephens, Brumfield, and Mayor Hougen voted
"Aye". Commissioner Blackstone, absent. Commissioner Williams abstained from
voting as he is the architect for the project. Motion carried.
ITEM #3 - request of Florida Community Hospitals, Inc., to change from R-2
(duplex) to R-4 (multi-family) or R-3 (planned unit development residential)
North 330' of W 1/2 of SE 1/4 of SW 1/4 less street right of way, Sec. 14-29-15.
The Planning & Zoning Board recommended denia~. Mr. Sam R. Caldwell, appraiser,
reported making a survey of the area of Highland Ave. & Druid Rd. to determine
the highest and best use of the property. Mr. William H. MacKenzie, Attorney,
representing the applicants stated that to the South were two nursing homes,
Clearwater YMCA and a medical center and farther South some stores, he stated that
this property had already bean zoned R-2 for a church; he gave statistics regarding
the traffic on Highland Ave. and on Druid Rd., and felt under R-2 use it was not
economically feasible to develop it, giving statistics on population, growth, etc,
He gave the names of the principals as William B. Wood, Contractor; Frank Bonsey,
Architect; Bernard L. Samson, Hospital Administrator and Dr. James B. TObias, all
of St. Petersburg, and stated this hospital would not have an emergency room, no
mental or alcoholic patients, and would be similar to Palms of Pasadena in
St. Petersburg. Mr. Wilbur B. Batt, Administrator of Druid Hills Nursing Home
spoke in favor. Mrs. Paul B. Hintson, spoke in objection, mentioning heavy traffic
already on Highland Ave. and that upon visiting the Palms of Pasadena Hospital
found the grounds were poorly kept. Mrs. Gladys Morgan and Mrs. James A. Smith
spoke in objection. Mr. Fred Wilder, Attorney, representing Clearwater Medical
Arts Inc., and Clearwater Professional Association, Inc., who own the tract where
the medical center is located, stated they have nothing to do with this proposed
hospital and are registering their opposition to it, spoke of the heavy traffic
on Highland Ave. and felt it should not be imposed on the neighbors with single
family residences if they do not want it, as it is now a buffer zone; and if
realistic values were adopted with its present proper zoning it would not be
economically unfeasible to develop it. ~. A. K. Boatne~ asked questions only.

April 24, 1967
3:00 - Captain Wm. McClamma replaced Captain Elwood Lomax at this time.
Mr. Jack Wolle, Planning Director. exp1ained R-4 zoning versus R-3 zoning under
PUD in which over-all plans must be submitted to the Commission. Commissioner
Brumfield moved after having held this public hearing and it becoming apparent that
it would be difficult to use this property for R-2 zoning and it appearing that a
planned unit development would be better suited for this area rather than R-4 and
since the plans would be approved by the City, that the request of F19r~~_,
Community Hospitals, Inc., for the North 330' of W ~/2 of SE 1/4 of SW 1/4 of
Section 14-29-15 to change from R-2 to R-3 PUD be approved and the City Attorney

Mr. Lloyd Phillips, Attorney, representing the individual property owners asked

tions without prejudice at the present time. The Mayor recommended denial witho~t
prejudice. Commissioner Stephens moved that the re~uests listed as Items 4 thru 11
