and Mrs. Freida Fiahotta. During the discussion it developed that the Alwil,
Inc. petition had not been submitted to the Zoning Board for its oonsideration
and reconnnendation prior to the hearing. It was moved by Com!llissioner Turner,
seconded by Commissioner Black and carried, that the nmtter of the Alwil, Ino.
petition be postponed indefinitely.
The Mayor now announced a public hearing on the petition or JaIlles A.
and Anna Novotney, for an exception, as a hardship case, to the Zoning Or-
dinance for a permit for a 10 ft. set back on Coronado Drive on the following

Conmlssioner Blanton moved that the public hearin~ on the petition of James A.

be present. The motion was seconded by COMmissioner Black and carried.
The ~layor :now announced a public hearing on the petition of Andrew P.
Nichols for permission to erect a one family dwelling on Lot 2, less the West
80 ft. of Block 28, Mandalay SubdiVision, as an exception to t he Zoning Law,

reconnnended that the petition be denied. Mr. Ben Krentzrran, Attorney for
1.1r. Nichols, addressed the Commission. Mrs. De. vid Milne, IIIr. Milne and 11rs..
John Matthews voiced their objections to any exception be1ng granted. 1'lr. Walsh,
owner of an adjoining lot, spoke in fa VOl' of granting the petition. Commissioner
Turner moved tr~t Mr. Nichols' request be granted. The motion va,s seconded by
Commissioner Blanton and carried. The City Attorney submitted a resolution
granting an exception to the Zoning Law and authorizing the ~rantin~ of a pennit
for the construction o~ a one family residence on the described property. On
a motion by Con~issioner Black, which was seconded by Commissioner Turner ~nd
unanimously carried, the resolution was adopted.
The City Manager subL'1itted the followin~ estimates of cost for paving,
sanitary and storm sewer .for Bay Esplanade from Royal Way to Soraerset Street:
Sanitary Sewer at $3.40 per assessable foot, Paving with shell base at $5.7a

The Honorable Board of City COL~iB8ioners
City Hall
Clearwater~ Florida
Gentler.1en:
On behalf of the Negro Civic League I want to thank you for the putting in of
the sewer and filling the ditoh between Greenwood Avenue and Pennsylvania Ave.
This is indeed a great improvement in our community and we appreciate your
interest in our welfare.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Charlie Phillips

It'eb. 10 ~ 1951.
To the City COl11I!lission of the City of Clearwater:
With reference to the attached notice I, the owner of lota 48,49,50, 51 ~nd 52
in the same block, object to any change in the zoning ordinance for anyone.
Beca use:
1. Present owners of lot 55 and the N. 40 ft. of #56 are not entitled to
1000 more feet of building space than other owners in this section.
2. You cannot in fairness to all make this allowance for them without
making it for all property in this section thus decreasing the space between
buildings on Coronado Dr. by 20 ft.
S. The zoning board was right in visualizing the need for a wide Coronado
Drive.
a. Right now there are many times when cars of people
going to the beach cannot find parking space on
Gulfview Blvd. What about 10 years from now?
b. Beside present development in 10 or 15 years we
will have a bridge across Little pass and Coronado
will get additional traffic. Coronado Drive should
be a wide street.
c. Five years from now at our present growth Coronado
should be wide enough for normal traffic plus
diagonal parking in this area.
4. If present owners are so pressed for building space where are they going
to park cars of their guests? There is a city ordinance against all night street
parking. Is the city going to be asked next to provide car parking space for
this address!
5. Vlhy have citY' planing? Why a zoning board if any individual or group
of individuals desireing 1000 feet more building space can get an exception?
Gentlemen I say this exception should not be allowed. Rather we should
keep the South Beach from becoming another congested area.
To destroy It'lorida r s beautiful open spaces is to destroy It'lorida for most
tourists that come to this section.
We need a wide Coronado Drive for both beautification and parking and the
ttme to assure it ia be~ore buildings are placed nearer than the present
o~inance per.m1ts.
/s/
Thank you~

To the City ComLnission of the City of Clear�+atei ;
t�ilith reference to the attached notice I, the ovmer of lots 48,49,50, 51 and 52
in the sar.�o blocic, object �o an� change in the zoning ardinance for anyone.
Becauser
I. Present owners of lot 55 and the N. 40 ft. of �56 are not entitled to
100Q more feet of building space than other o�vr_ers in this section.
2. You cannot in fairness to all mako this allo�,cance for them vaitrhout
niaking it for a11 property in this section thus decreasing the space between
buildin�s on Coronado Dr. by 20 f�.
3'. The zoning board was right in visualizing the need for a�ride Coronado
Drive. •
a. Right notiv there are nany times when cars of people
�oing to the beach cannot find parking space on
Gulfvisw Blvd. ti'Vhat about 10 years from now?
b. Beaide present development in 10 or 15 years s�e
will have a bridge across I,ittle pass and Coronado
will get additional trafi'ic, Goronado Drive should
be a wide street.
cs Five ysars fr9m now at our present growth Coronado
should be wide enough for normal traffie plus
diagoizal parking in this area.
4, If present owners are so pressed for bui].ding space Rhere are they going
to park cars of their gueats? There is a city ordinance against al1 night straet
parkin�;. Is the city� �oing to be Asked next to provide car parking space for
this address?
5. YJhy have aity planin�? ti'Vhy a aoning board if any individual or gruug
of individuals desireing I000 feet more t�uilding space can �et an excaption?
• Gentle�en I say this exception should n�t Ue allnwed. Rather we sYzould
lceep the South Beach fror.� becoming ano�ther con�ested area.
To destroy Florida�s beautift�l open spaces is to destroy F'lcxrida for most
tourists that coma to tkiis section.
4Ye need a wide Coronado Urive for 'aoth beautifieation and parking and the
time to assure it is before buildings are placed nearer thAn tkr.e preseJat
ordinance parm3ts.
Thank you,
