The lots diTdct1y across the street from these are unzoned. The new 200 housing

a filling station on this same side of the street some 6 to 8 b~ocks south.

At the regular meoting of' the Zoning Boord held Tuesday evenlng~ November 8,. 1949,
the Board ruled in favor of granting the request of William F. and Edna H. Minor to
zone Lots 3 and 4 or A. H. Dunoan Subdivision (now unzoned) to Business.
It ls the Boa rds understa ndlng tha t this property will be used as a "Used Auto
Parts" business and plons are to ereot a trsme building on the rront part of the lot
faoing South Greenwood Ave., which will consist of shelves and all parts will be
narked Bnd kept systematically, the balance of the S. Greenwood frontage will oon-
sist of an entrance and a board rence which will be kept painted and in an attraotive
condition so that from the street no junk will oome into view. It will be necessary
however to pork used automobiles on the baok of the property while they are belng
tor.n down to be shelved and until a full load accumulates, the un-used parts will
remain in one sIIIall pl1e.

Gentlemen:
We wish to bring a request before you for consideration to zone lots 3 and ~ of
A. H. DUNCAN'S SUBDIVISIOn OF THE WEST HALF (wi) Or' THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF (1mi->
OF THE SOUTHWEST qUARTER (Swt) OF SECT ION 22, TownSHIP 29 SOUTH I RANGE 15 EAST,
according to map thereof reco~ing to map thereof recorded in Plat Book 5, P.age 26~
Public Records of Pinel1as County~ Florida. (Also shown on may recorded in Plat
Book 2, Page 44, Public Recorda of' Pine11as County, Florida.) for business.
We wish to use this property for a "Used Auto Parts.t business. When we state Used
Auto Parts that is not to be confused with a junk yard. Our plans are to erect Q
frame building on the front part of the lot facing South Greenw.ood Ave.J which will
consist of shelves. and all parts will be marked and kept systematically, the
balance of the S. Greenwood rrontage will consist of sn entrance and a board rence
which wl11 be kept pa inted and in a n a ttrac ti ve oondi tion so that from the street
no junk will come into view. It will be neoessary however to park used automobiles
on the back of the property whl1e they are being torn down to be shelved and until
a full load accumulates, the unused parts will remain in one small pile.
We feel that the business which we have in mind would be an asset to the present
community. This being generally known 8S a colored sub-division there is nothing
but empty lots immediately surrounding thi5 property and the nearest dwellings are
all colored, being Dluch less attractive than this proposed business.. We wpUld
like to stress that this property is out of the fire zone and the property just
across the street on tlle west side or South Greenwood Ave. is zoned for business.
Please find attached sketoh of above property.

Clearwater, Fla.
Gentlemen:
I would like to buy from the City 100 feet of the land ~ronting that dis-
tance on Maple street and Seaboard R. R. aiding 9.djoining my warehouse at 1124
Maple Street and running back to the north a depth of 155 feet. The price to
be $10.00 per front foot as per the agreement between the City and the Seaboard
Railroad on all that land facing this section of Maple Street and Seaboard siding.
The abova property is described as the North 155' of the South 205' of the
East 100' of the West 610' of Tract D, New Country Club addition.
It 10 my understanding that there is only 150 feet of this land fronting on
Maple Street and Seaboard siding stj.ll owned by the 01 ty. If' it 1s your wish to
sell the remaining 150' frontage which adjoins my warehouse on the East sod there-
by hBve all the land along this Seaboard siding privately owned, I w11l be glad
to buy the 150 feet instead of 100 feet as 1t is my sincere belief that I will
eventually need same especially if Clearwater continues to grow and ~ business
grows with 1t which I will surely try to do.
Probably all of you gentlemen know of the warehouse I built on the 100 foot
frontage I bought from the City a l~ttle over two years ago. I have been open for
business hardly a year and'my warehouse is practically full now. My storage 'Ware-
house business has brown beyond my fondest expectations in this short time and it
is with the thought of expanding when necessary that I desire to buy the land ad-
joining me.
I would, however, like to have more time within which to build a building on
the newly acquired land than the usual one year jll.st ~n case conditions got bad and
additional warehouse space was not needed~ I would l1ke a three year per~od if
you can see your way clear to grant same. At the end of a three year period if
I have not built a building on tllis land I will re-deed 1t to the City on refund
of' original purchase price if the City desires me to do so at that tioe.
Payment for this land will be I:18de in :full on date of closing the sa le.
T~nking you in advance for your favottable consideration, I am
Yours respectfUlly~

Dear Mr. Bennett:
I have now been Info~ed that the City of Clea~vater would be exceeding its
legal authority in issuing certificate's against the abutting property.
It has been declared by the commission, since there are no funds with wh1ch
to do this needed drainage ~ediately east of Myrtle Avenue on Cleveland Street,
that the issuing of certificatds were necessary. Your city attorney and your-
self have said that the certificate's could be foreclosed if not paid at the end
of ten years.
I am confident the necessary fUnds can be raised if the City of Clearwater
will baok the certifioate's issued i~ not paid. Also since the City has an

tanee on Map1e Street and Seaboard R. R. siding adjoining my �arehouse at 1124
ldaple Street and running bacl�. to the north a depth of 155 feet. The price to
be �10,.00 per front foot as per the agreement between the City and 'che Seaboard
Railroad on ell that land £acing this sect�on of hiaple Streat and Seaboard siding.
The abov� propertg is described as the r7orth 155� of the South 205� of the
East 100t of the West 610� of Tra�ct D, Ne�ti Gountry Club addition.
It is ng understending that there is only 150 fe�t of this land fronting on

sell the remaining T50� frontage vuhich adjoins my warehouss on the Esst and there-
by have all the land along this Seaboard siding privatelg owned, I will be glad
to buy the 150,feet instead of 100 peet as it'is mq sincere belief that I wi11
evantually need same aspecially if Clearwater continuas to grov� and my business:
gro�us with it which I will surely try to do.
Probably all oP gou gentlemen know o£ the warehouse I built on the 100 foot
frontage Z bought from the City a little over two yeArs ago. I have been open for
business hardly a year and my warehouse is practically full now. My storage ware-
house business has brown beyon� my Pondest expec�ations in this short time and it
is with the thought of expanding when necessary that I desire to bu� the land ad-
joining me.
I would, however, like to have more time within which to build a building on
the newly acquired land than the usual ons year just in case conditions got bad an�
additional Narehouse apace Mas nr�t needed. I would Zike a three year period if
you can see your �aay,clear to grz?nt same. At the end of a three year period iP
I have not built a build3ng on this land I will re-aaea it to the City on refund
of original purchase price iP the City desires me to do so at that time.
Payment for this land w311 be rilade in full on date oi closing the;sale.
