CITY C01~iISSION MEETING
September 11. 1950
August ro, 1950
Mr. Boyd Bennett, Citr Manager
City Hall
Clearwater~ Florida.
Dear Mr. Bennettr
Following up our recent conversation on the subject of fire insurance
f'or the City of Clearwater, this matter has had a thorough going-over by our oom-
mittee and~ in addition, we have had two outstanding special agents here a num-
ber of times and they have personally checked every buildi~g owned by the oity
and the oontents, if any, involved.
They made these inspections in company with Mr. Maloney 01' the city
Building lJepartnent, along with the wr1ter; and I feel sure the oity property baa
never been BO thoroughly and intelligently valued by anyone in the past.
The attaohed sheets indicate all city properties, their present insurance,
the suggested insurablo value, the published rate with the Inspeot1on Bureau re-
duotion and the individual premium in the last column, based on the annual ratea
promulgated by the Inspection Bureau.
In addition to the above, our speoial agents have gone over this whole
matter with the Inspection Bureau and have arrived at an average blanket rate of
$.601. If the city author1t~es want to put this on a blanket basis (which is,
of course, the most economical plan) it wou~d be neoessarr to insure 90 per cent
ot the values as indicated, or at Q total 90 per cent insurable va~ue or $752,625.
On an annua1 premium basis with this blanket coverage the premium would
total $4~523.77. It this were to be set up on a three-~ear mtaggered plan, the
f'irst year's cost would be $7,558.28 with an annual charge thereafter 01' $3,769.14.
At any rate, 'We should like to go over this whole ll19.tter with you in
detail and a~ter you have decided what you want to do about the total insurance
we will then give you our ideas about distr1bution.
Yours very truly,
CITY INSURAHCE COMMITTEE

Gentlemen:
The undersigned, EVA L. CISAR, on behalf of hersel1' and Sophia O. Martin,
Fred C. Galitz and Anthony 1-'. Cisar, he,..~by reapeotfully shows unto this Board,
that in the early part 01' 1950 they const~lcted a six unit apartment house on
the oorner of Highland Avenue and Ia.ura Street in Highland Grove Subdivision.
Great care was taken in designing these units and in landscaping the grounds,
and your petitioner and the above named persons were at the time owners of Lots
1, 2, 3, 4, 45 and 46, Block "C" HIGHlAND GROVE SUBDIVISION, and oonsidered same
one plot of land, as will be shown by a sketch hereto attached.
At the tilne said apartments were oonstt'Ucted, your petitioner was under
the impression, and believed, that lots 45 and 46 were included in the building
permit issued to construct these apartment units, and that they were thereby pro-
tected as to building the carports for the apartment units. These apartments
were oonstructed by Robert C. Miller, doing business as R. C. Mi~ler and Asso-
ciates. After the construction of the apartment unita, your petitioner learned
that lata 45 and 46 were not included in the building pennit to build the apart-
ment units.
;" ,"

,
There is not surficient space lef~ on lots ~, 2, 3 and 4 to build the
carports and it will be necessary, as was formerly contemplated,to build them on
lots 45 and 46. Robert C. Miller havinp, left Clearwater, your petitione~ oon-
traoted with Mr. Henry P. Brock, a general contraotor, to construct said carporta
on said lots 45 and 46, but Mr. Brook advises that ~e city building inspeoto~
has refused to issue a permit to said Henry P. Brock to construct the oarports to
accommodate said apartment units, 1'or the reason ~at lota 45 and 46 were not in-
cluded in the original per.mit, and that there are no residential buildings on
these lots.
':.:1.' \'
'. ',,'

Your petitioner would further show thAt this was an oversight on the part
of the contractor bul1dlnp, the apartments, and it is a hardship on your petitioner
as said lots 45 and 46 are a part of lot or p~ot or ground owned by petitioner, the
same as lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 and were for the purpose of servicing said apartment
units and providing the necessary c&rports.
Your petitioner further shows that these lots will be duly bewutified, the
same as lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, and that they will and do constitute ~ part of the
plan and plot for the apartment units, together with the carports.
Your petitioner further respectfully shows thnt she will lose her tenants
if she cannot ~lrnish them a car port for ~eir cars aa she ror.merly contraoted to
do, and that this oonstitutes a hardship.
WlIEREFORE, your petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Board to
authorize the city building inspector to amend the application for building per.mit
to include lots 45 and 46, 8S well as lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Block "C" HIGHLAND
GROVE SUBDIVISION, and to, according1y~ amend the building per.mit to inc1udo said
lots 1,2,3,4,4:5 snd 46, Block ItC" of said Highland Grove Subdivision, and to
authorize the building or said carports to accomnodate six cars.
Your Honorable Board will realize that it will be a terrible hardship on
the occupants who own nice cars, not to protect them from the weather and elements
at night or at times when they are not being used. That they would, therefore,
not wish to keep the apartments without the carports to protect their car~.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
Confirming my conversation with you on Tuesday, September. 5th, Mr. walter
Thomas, who ownS' the propert'Y on the southwest oorner of Osceola and Pierce
streets, authorizes me, in his behalf, to state to you that I am to negotiate
with the City of Clearwater in connection with aome solution to the widening of
Osceola Street east of his property. He has also authorized me to state he will
not seek to deal with the City except through me with the hope 01' avoiding litigation.
I assure you I will devote the necessary tiIne and we will be rea-dy to talk
to you about n settlement or this matter a t any time, and I am very a.nxious to di~-
pose of it to the mutual advantage of all parties concerned at the e&rliest pOSSible
time. To that Elnd I suggested to you that Mr. Thomas would be agreeable to acoept-
ing fifteen feet immediately west of his property, deeding to the City for 8t~et
purposes the fifteen feet off the east side of his property, providing the City
would relieve him of 8:.'l'3' assessment on the street and then sat1sfQlotorily move the
apartment and outbuilding to the west of ,his present~y owned prope~t1 and the
fifteen feet to be procured by th~ City.
This letter 1s just to get the ball rolling and it should. of COUI'S'CII be
understood tha't the details in conneotion with the removal. or the apartment and the

Mr. Boyd Bennett
City Manager
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Nre Bennett:-
, ~, "
" ,: ::"i,
, .. : ,:"~ . (: .: I' '
, \
I am writing you shortly before leaving on my vaoation and will be gone
from the city during the month of September. I would like to have you bring
the facts set forth in this letter to the attention of the City Commissioner~ in-
formally so that they can be considering the matter. I will expect to bring
the matter formally to the attention of the Commission some time in Ootober.
I am writing you about the lease given my client, Paul Johns, on property
lmown as the Clearwater Bay Club. This lease was, I believe, made in Juna of
1948 and ran ~or a period of five yeara at ~ rental of $300.00 per month. In
addition to paying this rental, Mr. Johns WEllS required to rs.:y both city and
oounty taxes on the property~ and to keep the building in a good state of repair.
The tenns of the lease were so severe that I advised Mr. Johns against accepting
it. However, he had ambit::tous plans for the development of a high olas~
restaurant on this property~ and he thour~t he could make a sucoess of it in
spite of the severe terms of the lease.
Mr. Johns paid $30.000.00 for the business, Which of course doesn't oon-
oern the city. However, he has spent a lot of money on the property which does
concern the city~ as it ~provea the value of the city's property. He erected
a new building with the consent of the city and equipped it as a drive-in, at a
cost of $12,500.00. He covered the entire exterior of ~le building with asbestos
shingles, and made other repairs to the exterior at a total cost of some $4,000.00;
he replaced a good portion of the roof with a new ten year guaran teed roof at Ql
oost of $800.00; he remodeled, painted, and redecorated the interior of the build-
ing at a cost of $1,500.00; and he spent aome $800.00 in making repai~s to the
air conditioning system installed in the building. So you will see that in addition
to paying $30,000.00 for the business, he spent SOOle $20,000.00 or more in making
repairs to ~e building, some of which will inure substantially to the benefit of
the City_
Mr. Johns was required to pay the last year's rent in advance when he signed
his lease, so he paid the City $3,600.00 cash on which he is reoeiving no interest.
He paid 1948 county taxes in the 8.ill1ount of $260.00, 1949 county taxeS' in the
amount of $393.00, and taxes for 1950 will be undoubtedly a great deal highe~. He
has not paid the City taxes for 1949, but has agreed to do so and will do so. I
think this is one of the few properties under City lease on which the City requires
the payment of city taxes.
Allor this adds up to the fa.ct tlmt Ur. .Johns has gotten 6:0 deeply involved
in this business that he c~n hardly hope get out during the period of five years
oovered by the orieina] lease. If he could get an additional five year period,
this might give him a chance to get out some of his large investment before the
lease expires. There is another angle which concernS" Mr. Johns' son. The busines's
is now being run by Mr. Johns' son, with another young man to help him. Mr. Johnu'
son is of military age and aerved durIng the ~st war~ and will very likely be
called b8!ok into military servioe. 111'. Johns himself is not in a position to
operate the business, 80 that i~ his son is ~ led to military servioe it would
make it imperative that he find a purchaser for the business and sellout for the
beat price he can get. And with a lease that has lesa tha'n three years to run, it
ia obvious that he couldn't hope to sell at a.nything like a' reEllsonable price.
So I am writin~ to suggest that Mr. .Johns would like to have an additiona1
period of five years fl"om and after the present expiration date of his present le8,se-~
at the same rental of $300.00 per month. I believe that this partioular property
is giving the City a higher return than any other property owned by the City, and
in ~a'ot I ~eel that it is giving the City a higher rate than the property warran ta.
This, of co'~se~ is not the City's fault, as Mr. Johns ~ccepted the origi~1 lease
on the City'S ter.ms. But I do hope that the City will find it possible to ooope~te
by a~reei~ to extend the leane for an additional five year period.
With best regards, I am,
Signed:
Very truly yours,
Ralph Richards

a.ha1r.man, City Commission,
Clsarwa ter, Fla..
Dear Sir:
Noting that at the last Commission meeting Q report was acc~ptted to
demo1ish the Seminole Dook West of the Fish House, I would like to suggest the
following be considered before that is done.
The Seminole Dock is the only place in Clearwater where colored people
can f'ish.
Daily for some years, scores r~ve fished from the dock in the ara~ just
West of tho Fish HOUDe ~ pleasurably obtaining good seS) food. .
The few white people who fish frOD the farther w~st area of' the dock,
can roadily find other places to fish. Not so the colored people.
Therefore, I would suggest that at least fifty feet of the Dock just
West of the Fish House be retained, which being repa ired, ?ti11 make a plaoe
whore their fishing can safely be continued.

the suggested in3uraiale v�:'Lue, the published rate with the Inspaction Bureau re-
duction and the i�dividual pre�ium in tha last coluian, based or� the annual x�ates�
promul�ated by the Inspection Bursau.
In addition to the above, our special agents have gone over this v�hole
matter wi�h the Inspection Bureau and have �r.rived aZ an avera�e blanket rate of
�;.b01. Ti the city authoritiea want to rnzt this on a blanket basis (which is,
of course, the most econcmical planj it would be nacessary to insure 90 per cent
of the values as 3ndicated, or at a total 90 per cent in�urable va;Lue oP �752,625.
On an annual premium basis v�ith th:is blanket coverage the premium �rould

APPEAL (Patition)
TO THE HONORABLE h'IAYOR AND CITY CObYhiTSSIOPIERS
SITTING AS A BOARD OF ADJUSThIENT AND APPEAL:
Clearwatar, Florida.
Gentlemen:
The undersigned, EVA L. CIS.9R, on behalf of herself and Sophia G. 1YIartin,
Fred C. Galitz and Anthong F. Cisar! herab� respectfull�* shows unto thia IIoard,
that in the early part of 1950 thay constri.ictad a six unit apartment houae on
the c�rner of Eighland Avenue and �ura Street in Hi�;hland (3rove �ubdivis�.on.
Grest care was taken in designing thesa unita and in landscaping the grounds,
and your petitioner and th� a:bove named persons were at tha time owners of Lots
I, 2, 3, 4, 45 and 46', Blocl� ��C° HiGHLAND GR�VE SUBDTVISION, and aonsidered same
one plot of land, as will be shown by a si�etch hersto Attached.
At the time �a3d apartments were constructed, your petitioner was under
the impression, and beliaved, that lots 45 and 46 were included in the building
permit issue� to construct these apartment unita, and that they were thereby pro-
tected as to building tne carports for the apar�ment uxiits. These apar�ments
�vere eonstructed b,y iiober� C. Miller, doin� business as Ro C. 111iller and Aeso-
ciates, After the construction of tho apart;ment units, your petitioner learned
that lots 45 and 46 vrere not included in the building permit to build the apart-
ment units.
There is nat sufficient space lef� on lots� 1, 2, 3 and 4 to build the
carports and it vaill be necessarq, as was formerlg contemplated,to bu�.ld them on
lots 45 and a6. Robert C. htiller having left Clearwater, your petitione� con�
tracce& with A4r. Aenrg P. Brock, a general contraotor,, to construct said carports
on said lots 45 and 46, but Irir. Brr�ck advlses that the c3ty building inspectoxr
has reflzs9d to issuA a permit �o said Henry P. Brock ta construct the carports to
accormiodate said apartm�r_t units, for the roason that lots 45 az�d 46 were not in-
cl.uded in the original permit, and that there are no residentiaY build3.ngs on
these lots.
Your petitior.er would further show that this v�as an o�;eraight on the part
of the contractor building the apartnents, and it is a hardship on your petitioner
as said lots 45 and 46 are a par} of lot or p?ot of ground owned by petitionar, the
saase as Iots S, 2, 3 and � and vrere for tho purpose of serv3.cing said apartment
units and providing the n�cessary ce�rports.
Your petitioner fl.ir�har shows that these lots tivill be duTy bea�utif3ed, the
same as lots I, 2., 3 and 4, and trat +�hey will and do constitute a part of the
plan and plot for the apartment units, together wi�h the carports;.
Your patitionar further respectflzlly shows that she will lose her tana�nts
if she cannot furnish them a car port ior their cars a� she fo�nerly contracted to
do, And that this constitut�s a herdship.
V'YfiEREFORE, your petitionex� respecti�.illy requeats this Honorable Soard to
authorize the city building inspector to amend the a•pplication for building permit
to include lots 45 and 46, as vrell as lots 1, 2, 3-, and 4 of' f3lock �'C" HIGHLAND
GROVE STJBDIVISI02d, and to, accordingly, amend the building permit to include said
Tots 1,2,3,4,�5 rand 46, B1ock ��CR' af said Highland Grove Subdivision, ar�d to
authorize the building of said cargort� to accomnodate s�ix carse
Your Honorable Board will realize that it will be a terrible hardship on
the oecupants who own nice cars, not to protect thom from the weather and elementa
at �ight or at times rvhen the,p are not being used. That they would, therefore,
no+ wish to keep the apartments t�ithout the carports to protect their carsse

Dear 11Tr. Bennett:-
Very truly yours:,
4Y07,FE, YJIGfITMAN Fr. ROWD
By YI. H. Wolfe
August 31st, 1950;
I am writing you shortly before leaving on my vacation and will be gone
from the city during the month of September. I would like to have you brin�
the facts s�et forth in this letter to the attention of the City Gouanissioners�in-
formally so that they can be considering tha mattor. I will expect to bring
the matter formallp to the attention of the Cormission some time in October.
I a.m writing you about the lease given my client, Paul Johns, on propert�
ltnown as the Clearwster Bay Club. T'nis lease �vas, I helieve, made in Jun� o�
1948 arxi ran for a period of five year� at a renta�l of y��00,00 per month. In
addition to paying this rental, nir. Johns w�s required to pa:y bobh city and
count� ta�es on the property, and to keep the building in a good state oi repa3r.
The te7sns of the lease were ao severe th�t I advised hir. Johns against a�cepting
it. Howaver, he had amaitioua plans for the development of a hi�;h class
resteurant on th3s property, ar�d he thought he could make a success of it in
spite o� the severe terms of tha leas•e.
��
r.Zr> Johns paid �30,000.04• for tk�e business, v�hich of course doesnit con-
cern the city. However, he has spent a lot of money on tY�e �roperty which does
concern the city, as it improves. the value oi' the cit�is property. Ao erected
a naw build�ng with the consent of the city and equipped it as a drive-in, at a
cost of �p12,500,00. He covered the en�ire axterior of the building �vith asbes:tos
shingles, asnd made other repairg to th.e e:cterior at a total cast �i some wp4,00Q.00;
he replaced a�ood portion of the roof with a ne�v ben year guaran teed roof at a
cost of y�800.00; he remodeled, painted, and redecorated the interior of the btzild-
ing at a cost of ��,500000; and he spent sor.ne �800.00 in making repairs �o the
air �°onditioning system instailed in the building. So you wil� see that in addition
to pAyin� �30,000,00 for the business, he spent some �20s000.00 or more in maki�g
repairs to the buildin�, some of which will inure su:bstantially to the benefi� of
the City.
I�Zr. Johns was required to pay the last year�s rent in advance tivhen he si�ncd
h.is lease, so "ne paid tre City �3",600.00 cash on which he is receiving no interest.
iie paid 1948 county taxes in the a;mount of �p280.00, 1949 count� taxag in the
amount of $�3930��0, and taxes for 1950 will be undoubtzdly a great deal highes�. He
has not paid the City taxes for 194�J, but has agreed to do so and �vill do so. I
think this is one oz the fe�u properties under Gity lease on whioh the Gity requires
the payment of city taxes.
All of th3s a�lds. up to the tact that T,ir. Johns has gotten �o deeply involved
in this business that he ca�n lzardly hope get out during -th� geriod of �ive yea:rs
aovexed by the ori�inalt leasd.- If he could get an additional five year period,
this mi�,ht give him a chance to get out some of his larga investment bei'ore tha
lease expires, There is another an�le which concerns�P,ir. Johnst son. The busines�
is now bein� run by R7r. Johns� son, �ith another young man to help hin. bir< John�►
son :is of railitarg a�;e and served during the la;st war, and w�ill very likely be
called ba:cic into military services I�Tr. Johns hi�seli is� not in a position to
opei^ate 'Ehe business, so that if his son is cal led to military service it �vould
make it impera.tive tha�t he find a purchaser for the business and sell out for the
best price lze can �et. And with a lease that has les� than thre� ysars to run,, it
is• obvioue tha� hs couldn�t hope to aell at anytYiing like a reasonable price.
S'o I am writin; to suggest that &ir. Johns would like to l�ve an additionai
period of �ive years from and after the present expiration date of his presen� Teass,
at the same rental of 4�"p300,00 per month. I balieve that this� par�iculaa property
ia �iving the C:Lty a higher return i�han any other property owned by the City, and
in faet I fee]; that it is �3ving the City a higher rate than the �roperty ivar•ran ta.
This, of cours•e, is not the Cit�rts fault, as b7r. �Tohns accapted the ori�;inal Te�se
on tha City+s terms, But I da hope that the Cit� z+till find it possible to cooper�te
by a�reain�; to extend the lease for an additional five year period.
