Zoned CC (Commercial Center)
Hs. Harvey advised as foltows: This is a request for on premise consumption of
alcoholic beverages in the Commercial C~mter zoning district; the request is
for zoning approval of a new 4-COP-SRX State license, which license requires
51% food sales; the governing sections of the Land Development Code are
Sections 136.024 and 136.025(b); the appl icant proposes the operation of .a
restaurant at Countryside Village Square to be 1mo\-111 as Pelican Pete's; on
March 1, 1988, this Board approved the same conditional use request subject to
the Occupational License being obtained within 6 months and the outside
speakers being turned off at 10:00 PM and since applicant was unable to
complete the business transaction until this time, it is necessary to again
obtain approval; the Traffic Engineer had 110 comment; and the Police
Department saw no reason to deny license to appli.cant. 11s. Harvey stated no
variance to the separation distance is required. Ms. Harvey advised staff
recommended approval subject to the following: 1) 'Thclt the Occupational
License be obtained within 6 months; and 2) That the outside speakers be
turned off at 10:00 PM.

Mr. Haney Sweda, representative of applicant, stated the ~pplicant is request

foreign compan.y and closing was held up; the outside speakers are more for

of the restaurant; the applicant currently has no plans to serve outside; and,
the applicant understands that if the deck is expanded it will be necessary to
come before this Board once again.
Ms. Harvey advised one letter of objection was received from Vernon Dokken,
2595 Countryside Boulevard, No. 302, Clearwater.
No persons appeared in support of or in opposition to the above request.

Ms. Harvey advised as follows: This is a request [or a child day care center
in the Public/Semi-Public zoning district; the governing sections of the Land
Development Code are Sections 136.025(b) and (e)(8); and, the Traffic Engineer
had no objection. Ms. 'Harvey further advised as follows: There appears to be
no screening proposed to buffer. residential areas; there is no particular
parking plan identifying pickup and drop off of children; and, specifically in
regard to child day care, there should be 11 finding made that there is
sufficient outdoor play area and would need to be clarified before the Board
could take acti.on. Ns. Harvey advised that staff recommended denial based on
the impact of noise unreasonably diminishing the use, enjoyment and value of
surrounding properties; there is insufficient landscaping and buffering to
diminish noise; and there is insufficient outdoor play area.
t
".,.
Rev. Kerbert Freitag, Ninister of Church by the Sea, advised as follows: He
presides services for 600 to 800 people; the proposal to institute a day care
center was unanimously approved by the Church Board; he felt there is a
tremendous need for a day care fac i Ii ty on the beach as there are no such
facilities currently on Clearwater Beach; couples who live and/or work on
Clearwater Beach need some place to take children and it would be much better
to have the children where they are closer to home or work; there will be a
maximum of 49 young people, ages 2 to 5 years; there is a sufficiently large
a rea for out s id e p lay and the area mus t be fenced if there is a day care
center; the play area would be on the Cyprus Avenue side of the Church and
would be fenced; only two people voice objection to him personally, one of
which was withdrawn; he anticipates part of the fencing would buffer some
sound; there would be no more than 13 children outside at one time; the Church
will operate as a nonprofit day care center in partnership with Latchkey and
will provide affordable day care; pickup and drop off of children will be from
a circular drive, though all parents will not have cars as many of the parents
would not be able to afford cars; he felt traffic would be minimized; the
center will satisfy the needs of people predominantly who work in the hotel
businesses; the hours of pickup and drop off will be staggered; and the Church

seeks to meet the needs of the community and services would be pcovided
regardless of whether or not the parents are members oE the Church or attend
the Church.
('h'
After questioning by Board members, Rev. Frt:!ltag advised as follows: The
Church has had some people express an interest in the proposed Jay care
center, as well as some area hotels; he is not sure if the drawing is drawn
to scale but people from the City said the area met all the laws; the vacant
lot to the north 0 f the Church prope rty is not Church property and will not be
used; and, the play area does not include the vacant land north of the Church.
In support of the above request, the following persons ~ppeared to give their
comments:
Ms. Jean Hand, Deputy Executive Director of Latchkey, advised as follows:
Latchkey is extremely interested in working with the Church to provide a day
care center on Clearwater Beach; several hotels have expressed an interest in
a day care center on Clearwater Beach; the location of the d.'lY care center is
perfect and would serve 49 children from 2 to 5 years or age; they have worked
with pinellas County licensing board and all i.nspections have taken place; the
play ground area was determined to be more than .<.1dequate; there will be a
planned, structured program from 6:30 ^-,'1 to 6:00 P~f; only one classroom at [l
time will be outside; pinellas County licensin.g board would not require a
playground for all 49 childrerl since all will not be outside at one time;
there would be a very low adult-to-chilrl rntio of about 1 to 10; and she felt
there was a tremendous need for the day care center.
(h'
After questioning by Hr. FerrelL, Hs. Hand stated there would be no more than
13 children outside at one time; certain times of the day there would be one
supervisor and other t tmes there would be two ad ul ts; and, Latchkey i.s a
nonprofit organization that provides child day care throughout Pinellas
County.
Ms. Ann Garris, 38 Acacia, advised as follows: the entire community has
supported the Church since its beginning and the Church has attempted to
support the community; McKay Field is across the street and the }'ol.lth center
is only one block; she knows of only one complaint since the field was built;
there have been no complaints about the more than 40 Sunday school children
arriving on Sunday mornings; she felt the problem with children is unhappy
noises and that chi.ldren's happy noises were not unpleasant; there has long
been a need for sueh a facility on Clearwater Beach; and, she felt the Church
was the least expenSive place for a child day center on Clearwater Beach.
Ms. Jeanette Benfield, 1651 Gulf Boulevard, representative of the Boacd of
Diree tors of the Church, stated the Church has explored a 11 areas of cone ern
and it is the Church's way of giving back to the community something that is
needed.
Ms. Lorraine Freitag, member of Chapel by the Sea, stated this request is not
being made for the Church to make a profit. She added the Church is trying to
do something positive about this problem.
{
~"
Ms. Darlene Kolodziej, 1450 Cleveland Street, stated that establishing the day
care center LH an answer to the child day care problem on Clearwater Beach.
She stated that retailers on the beach recognize the need for child day care.
She also stated that a loc oE the jobs avai lable on Clcarwatcc nench are

m1nlmum wage and child day care is very costly. She further stated the Church
is trying to service affordable child day care on Clearwater Beach.

t
The following persons appeared in opposition to the above request to give
their comments:
I'
Mrs. Ruth Skorjanc, 600 Cyprus Avenue, advised as follows: The size of the lot
is about 35 feet by 70 feet; in 1970, there was a proposal for child day care
and at no time were the neighbors contacted regarding child day care; though
the proj ec t is nonp rofi t, the church wi 11 rec e ive fede ra 1 fund s; some area
hotels pay a portion of the child day care costs; the area is very well
established as a senior citizen center; high taxes are paid and the residents
1 i v eon the i r 0 wn pro per t y ; the to u r i s t t r ad e i s ve r y imp 0 r tan t tot h e
residents; traffic will be increased from attendance by 49 children; the
Church has very little parking and it is not adequate; she objects to the
noise and lack of parking; the building proposed to be used for the child day
care is less than 1,800 square feet and there is no back exit; she felt there
are enough child day care centers in Clearwater; and, the request was denied
in 1970 and it should not be considered again.
Mr. WillialU Phillips, advised as follows: He owns the vacant lot immediately
north of the Church plus a triplex; he expressed concern that there would be a
lot of noise early in the morning and felt the permanent residents would be
hurt; he suggested the needs of the working people of the beach should not be
at the expense of the residents; he felt property values would decrease; and,
the vacant lot is not Church property and should not be looked upon as a
parking lot or a play area.
("
"-.
Mr. Nick Didomenico, motel owner at 64 Bay Esplanade, advised he still doesn't
know where all the children will be. He stated he purchased the motel two
years ago and most of the people he caters to are senior citizens. He also
stated the area is popular because there is no noise.
Ms. Dominique Brongel, 557 Cyprus Avenue, stated she 1S opposed to the nOise
of the children and felt property values will be decreased.
Ms. Mary Martin, 585 Cyprus Avenue, stated she would not like being awaken in
the morning by the noise from the children. She stated she knows property
values will fall.
Ms. Harvey advised a letter and petition in opposition to the child day care
center, primarily concerning noise to adjacent property owners, were received.
She advised that a letter from Mrs. Skorjanc and additional documentation and
minutes from 1970 when child day care was previously requested were received.
i
\......
After questioning by Mr. Schwob, Ms. Harvey stated she recognizes the need for
child day care throughout the City of Clearwater and is in support of day care
centers, especially on the beach, but she is concerned with the particular
location. She stated the application did not provide information to enable the
Board to make a decision that would stand on its own in terms of being
approved. She stated her recommendation of denial was based on two areas in
the Code: that which dealt with the impact of the noise of the child day care
center reasonably diminishing the use, enjoyment and value of surrounding
property; and, that which dealt with the issue of insufficient landscaping to
buffer noise. She also felt there did not appear to be sufficient outdoor play
a re a.

Ms. Harvey ad vised as fo llows: the Ci ty does no tins pec t p rope r ties and does
not issue licenses in regard to child day care centers and any inspection made
would be on the construction of the building itself and any fencing that would
be constructed; the City does not make a determination on the required square
footage; and, the inspections for meeting requirements LS done by pinellas
County and the Stat e. She s ta ted it is s t i 11 not c le sr there is suf f icient
play area and staff's findings are based on what is contained in the
application, of which there was nothing indicating whether there is sufficient
play area. She also stated that fencing has not been addressed in that is it
not known where the fencing will be located and/or whether variances will be
necessary for the fencing.
Mr. Hogan felt there was a need for day care centers but felt they should not
be located in residential areas where residents cannot enjoy the peace and
quiet of their area.
In support rebuttal, Ms. Jean Hand, advised as follows: Latchkey is a center
for subsidized child day care; area hotels have identified 11 individuals who
live and work on the beach but need ta leave the beach to get child day care;
the required inspections obtained include Pinellas County license board, the
Fire Department and the Health Department; the Church needs to have 25 square
feet inside and 35 square teet outside Ear each child, both of which have been
met; four classrooms will serve 12 chi.lclren each antI a lunch room; she felt
loud noise will not exist; and all the staff have been fully trained.
(.
In support rebuttal, Ms. Darlene Kolod2;iej, stated the Church has looked into
landscaping and fencing and it is part of the entire process. She stated the
Church is currently looking at a wooden fence in. terms of a buffer.
In support rebuttal, Ms. Ann Garris, stated one of the problems 1S that
mothers of children cannot be here because they are working. After
questioning by Mr. Schwab, Ms. Garris advised of the permanent residents on
the beach she estimates that approximately 85% to 90% of the membership
consists of residents of Clearwater Beach and Island Estates. She added there
are a lot of residents who support the Church e~en though they are not members
of the Church and there are a growing number of people with young families who
support -the Church. She stated it i.s the only Church on Clearwater Beach.
In oppositi.on rebuttal, Ms. Ruth Skorjanc, stated the neighborhood cannot take
care of the entire ar2n and suggested the possibility of employers providing
child day care for their employees. She felt the building was too small and
questioned if the hall and the Church were insured. She also felt a wooden
fence would not buffer noise.
In opposition rebuttal, Mr. William Phillips, felt 11 permanent residents
needing child day care is not a lot of people when there are 1,300 permanent
residents who live on the beach. He felt the residents should not suffer for
the needs of the innkeepers, workers, etc. He felt the Board should look at
the immediate two-block area and its impact on the Church.
In opposition rebuttal, Ms. Dominique Brongel, felt the residents already put
up with a lot of activity from the Church.

In opposition rebuttal, Mr. Nick Didomenico, stated he pr:-eviously was a real
estate agent and the child day care center would not attract investors to the

Ms. Nixon stated she lives 1/2 mile from a day care center and she can hear
the nois€ of the children. She stated children will be outside for 8 hours a
day. She felt the configuration of the Church and play area would not buffer
the nois e. She felt that approving the use of a day care center next to a
residential area would be an irresponsible action on the part of this Board
and she Vlould not be in favor of the request.
area. He also felt parking would not be adequate and his parking has been used
by peop Ie at tend ing the Ch urch.
r"
In final rebuttal, Rev. I1erbert Freitag, stated the Church is looking at a 3-
part day care center. He stated the Church is seeking to meet the needs of the
residents of Clearwater Be<lch, the people who live and work on Clearwater
Beach, and the people who work on Clearwater Beach. He felt some of the
comments made did not pertain to the request for the day care center. He also
stated t'here is an increasing number of couples with children on Clearwater
Beach an.d the commun it y is not jus t the ne ighbors. He s ta ted t her e is noise
from persons other than the children and there will be some noise from the day
care center. He felt the needs of both older and younger residentg should be
met and not just a specific group. Rev. Freitag stated whether there is
adequate parking on Sunday is not relevant to the request for the day care
center. He stated that Ms. Harvey's staff told him he had supplied all the
information he was required to supply. He stated he \...as not told he had to
show the fenced-in play area or how the children would be picked up or dropped
off. He also stated the vacant piece of property to the north has never been
ass umed to be owned by the ell urc h. He felt some 0 f the peo p le who signed the
petition in opposition lived too far away to hear noise from the child day
care center.

"'fl\',
Aft e r que s t ioni ng by Board members, Rev. Fre i tag advi sed as fa llows: TIle
Church bas many programs for senior citizens such as the ladies auxiliary and
education programs; he does not know the square footage of the outdoor play
area but pine llas Coun ty has ad vi sed both th e indoor and au td 00 r areas are
adeq uate; and wha tever is nec es sary to ge t the ch i Id re n to the c lass rooms

operation the proposed day care center will establish are from about 6:30 AM
to 5:30 'PM and drop oEE of childI:'en will take place from about 6:30 Ai'1 to 8:30
AM. After further questioning by Hr. Hogan, Hs. Hand clarified the usual
procedure for Latchkey chilclren is to have the chi Idren signed in by a
supervising adult.
Mr. Hami Iton felt day care is very expensive when a center 1.8 prepared and
operated by a private concern and felt it is critical for day care centers to
be affordable. He expressed concern regarding comments made by staff and
suggested the possibility of continuing the above request to obtain more
specific information such has how the noise will be handled.
Mr. Hogan stated he appreciates the need for a child day care center but felt
the residents should not have the burden in a residential community.
~
Mr. Ferrell stated the residents' properties are not zoned residential even
though residents live in the Resort Commercial zoning district. He also
stated, though he is sympathetic to the noise, he felt the area was buffered
on three sides of the property by buildings. He stated he may be looking at
the requ€st differently because it is not a "for profit" operation and the
rates would accommodate the working class. He also felt the Church was trying

Mr. Schwob stated he LS a SCtllor citizen and does not mind the children's

Mr. Hamilton stated this location is one of the best locations Ear the day

Mr. Johnson stated he is in favor of day care centers but felt the subject
location was not a good location because of noise and parking.
Motion was made by Mr. Hamilton, seconded by Mr. Schwab, to continue the above
request to obtain more information to answer staff's questions. Arter
questioning by Mr. Ferrell, Me. Harvey advised because the site is an existing
building there tS not a process for site plan revie'>1 and the Church may not
want to spend money for an architect to draw a site plan. as. Harvey also
advised as follows: There was nothing in the application identifying the
number of necessary parking spaces; it was not until today that it was learned
how many employees there would be and she guessed there would be five

the establishment; the opposition at the previous lIleQting was regarding
control of patrons; the windows of the enclosed exp3nsion do not open and the
applicants tried to remodel in a style compatible with Clearwater; appli.cants
have tried to make every reasonable concession to the Church, such as
security, parking, noise, etc; the Church has not responded to requests by
applicants for suggestions on how to make operation 1I1On~ agr.eeable; and,
applicants has 30 years experience here and in Europe.
After questioning by Board members, Mr. Kimpton advised as follows: TIlere will
be no outside speakers; and, people will enter the establishment through the
expansion area.
Mr. Robert E. Gregg, architect for applicants, .3dvised that p.nclosing the deck
has been done at considerable cost to the applicants, such as the installation
of air conditioning, insulation, etc. After questioning by Mr. Johnson, Mr.
Gregg clarified that the main entrance to the establishment will be through
the expansion area.

Ms. Janice Pattemore, applicant, stated $1.5 million has been invested in the
building. She stated they have done everything to go along with the Church and
have been good neighbors. After questioning by Ms. Nixon, Ms. Pattemore stated
the club in the back portion of the building is open but is not doing a good
business; music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s is played; there is both live
entertainment and music played by a DJ; <'1nd, the area contains about 6,000
square fee t.
Atty. James Felos, representative of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy
Trinity, advised as Eollows: The Church Council voted unanimously to oppose
the subject application; the Church has been at its location for 20 years;
there are a Church, an education building, and a meeting hall on the Church
property; the Church has 900 members with 300 children; the Church 1.s
concerned that Hako's image has been adopted at pattemore's; the Church is
concerned about intrusion unto its property by drinks; and, the Church has had
problems with breakins. When ~1r. Felos began speaking about requirements in
the Code regarding variances, Ms. Harvey clarified that Development Code
Adjustment Board requirements were not relevant before the Planning and Zoning
Board. She also advised that the use is not a nonconforming use. Mr. Felos
stated the Church felt the more people at the establishment the more problems
there will be. He stated the Church felt i.t should be protected.
After questi.oning by Board members, Mr. Felos advised as follows: TIle Church
is still opposed to the application even though the open deck, which was the
basis or the Church's opposition at the last hearing, was enclosed; and, the
Church would be opposed to a fence being installed between properties because
the Church would want to avoid a prison look.

Ms. Nixon felt the objections by the Church can.not be to drinking because the
Church sponsors a festival where alcoholic beverages are served.

Mr. Green felt it appeared the Church was opposed to the establishment being
successful and he felt this was an unreasonable objection. Hr. Felos stated
the Church does not want the establishment to go out of business. He added the
ob jec t ion was to more peop le d r inki ng and th e Ch urch was not op pos ed to the
expansion being used for only eating.
Mr. Hogan stated the subject property 1S commercial property. Mr. Hogan felt
that no mattel- what the owners do the Church would still feel the use is not
compatible. He felt the applicants have tried to comply and have made an
honest effort to operate without being obtrusive to the Church.
Mr. Green stated he could not see what effect an increase in the size of the
building would have on the Church. After quest ioning by Hr. Green, Hr. Felos
felt the Church's main objection to any increase is because the larger the
crowd the more prob lems there wi 11 be.
Il~
,
Father Theo Anastas, Pastor of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity,
stated that up until this afternoon he thought the applicants would be a good
neighbor. He stated he was invited to the es tab lishment this morning to be
assured that the expanded area being enclosed would take care of the noise
factor. Father Anastas stated he was threatened by the attorney, the
architect, and the applicants, previous to this item being heard, who stated
they would turn the operatlon into a strip joint if necessary. He stated the
Church's objection was not to the applicants but to the concept of Mako's and
the outside deck. He also stated the Church objection is that the more people
in the building the more potential there will be for trouble. He further
stated there is no guarantee the applicants will be the owners and new owners
may change the concept of the operation. He felt it appears that, if the
Church doesn't do what the applicants want them to do, the threats begin.
After questioning by Mr. Schwob, Father Anastas stated it is his personal
opinion that a fence would diminish some problems and he felt the Church was
concerned with protecting its property and possibly the Church was concerned
with the aesthetics of a fence. He felt the applicants would do what they say
they will do but he was concerned that the Church will be dealing with a
different owner in the future.
Mr. Johnson advised if there is a new owner the new owner would be required to
come before this Board for approval of a change of business ownership.
}ir. Hogan stated he did not like to hear that the Church was threatened. Mr.
Hogan s ta ted it appea rs tha t the type of es tab I is hmen t, regard les s of who
operated it, would be objectionable. He felt applicants have tried to do
everything they can. He stated Mako's was objectionable for diffarent reasons
as it had an outside deck, inadequate parking, and was in a residential area.
Father Anastas stated he does not want to see applicants out of business and
the Church does not have the right to put them out of business. Father Anastas
requested that, if the Board approves the request, the Board require
applicants to come before this Board again in one year.

City law that are not in the City Code of Ordinances at the time an item is
pre sen ted to the Board. He s ta ted the Board mus t make its dec is ions on the
current Code and Traffic Engineering should do the same. The Board generally
d is agreed stat ing tha t, as long as it is made c lea r what app lies to current
Code and what applies to proposed changes, they felt Traffic Engineering is
only giving its opinion.
Meeting adjourned at 5:52 PM.
