09/04/1951 ~ --------'" - . The City Conunission of the City of Clearwater met in regular session at City Hall, Tuesday, September 4th, 1951, at 7:30 P.M., with the fo110win~ members presentl The meeting was called to order by the Mayor. Correction of minutes of August 20, 1951, was brought to the attention of the Commission by Commissioner Black, who stated that on Page 2, seoond paragraph the words, "An acrea~e, It should be changed to, "In acreage"!; and tha't among those listed as present should be Don Genung, Captain, rather than George T. McOlanma,Chlef of Police. Connnisaioner Black was informed that the latter correction had already been made in the permanent minutes. Commissioner Black moved the adoption of the minutes of August 20, 1951, as amended, in accordance with copies tllereo~ furnished eaoh member in writing, and that their reading be dispensed with. Crnnmlsaioner Turner seconded the motion. Vote was taken and motion unanimously carried. All Oommissioners reported that minutes of AUE~st 27th have not yet been re- ceived and City Treasurer, acting for City Clerk" was instructed to see that they are mailed out immediately_ Report of Ed~ewater Drive Committee was given by Ralph Richards, Attorney, in oonnection with protecting the City's water frontage against any filling. He stated that residents of this area have been contacted to see how many would deed their pro- perty to the City and how many would have to be condemned. Mr. Richards stated that he had learned the names and addresses of all the property owners in this area and that from the information he had obtained he had prepared contracts for the signatures of each of them. He stated that some of the contracts h.ave been signed and returned, but that not all reports are in as some are out of' town. He Viil1 lceep the Coxmnisaion informed as to the progress of such contracts. Dr. H. E. Pontius stated tl~t he and Mr. Ualter Hendershott of ~tnedin are contacting proporty ownera also and are doing all they can to clear the m&tter up. Mayor Brown stated that this matter will be placed on the agenda at the next regular meeting so tlmt fUrther report can be received. City Attorney Ware stated that while Mr. Ralph Richards is out of town within the next few days he will be glad to do any work for them which might arise during that time. Commissioner Black asked about lots lying West of the driveway as to whether people intend to fill there. City Attorney replied that the only ones whic1l threaten to fill are the Moss properties, Wedemeyers, and the people who recently bought property there. He stated that the Wedemeyer deal can be stopped, tl1at the I-loss one is not as strong, and that the most recent owners stand about the same as the Moss deal - we may be able to stop them, and maybe not. Mayor Brown asked if the Commission wishes City Attorney to put into practice a program to prevent any further action o-r this type. City Attorney stated that he had already looked into the matter and that Resolution had been passed expreSSing the sentiment of the Connnission, that the only thing left for the Oommission to do when people start to fill is to oppose the application for pennit to fill in the Jacksonville office and after tl1at, litigation if' action to fill is taken, in the for.m of condemnation. No such action 1ms yet been taken on any piece of property. No suggestion has come from the Commission to do this yet and he felt that i~ the Cam- mission wishes such action they will have to be prepared to pay for any property con- demned. City Attorney further stated that he believes that all property which can be transferred should first be obtained, and then.when the Commission is down to the two or three remaining properties it will be tmle to take other action. Mr. Richards' report was accepted by consent of the Commission. Consideration was given by the Commission to the J. K. Cass Plat. Mr. Ra1ph Richards, representing the property owner involved, Mr. C. K. Weekley" stated t~t in 1892 the original plat of Turner's No.3 Subdivision showed Turner Street as 60 feet wide fronl Orange Street to the Bay. In 1925 a repIat was filed of Block 10 of Turner' 8 Subdivision No.3. This plat made a slight change in Turner street - it narrowed to 54 feet down near the Bay. The City has been assessing taxes acco~ing to the more recent plat ever since and yet the City, as nearly as can be deter.mined, has neve~ taken official action to authorize the narrowing of this street. The residents of this area are asking the City to vacate the six foot strip along Turner Street. The City Attorney stated tl~t in 1925 it was not required tl~t the City formally approve plats. He stated that since the City had abided by the revised p~at that it could be assumed that by inference it approved it. Resolution was read by the City Attorney approving and accepting that portion of the J. K. Cass Plat of 1925 which related to the narrowing of the street from 60 to 54 feet. Mr. Ralph Richards asked that this: Resolution be accepted by the City. Commissioner Black moved adoption of Resolution as read by the City Attorney. Mr. C. K. Weekley, property owner, appeared in wupport of having this change made official. After further disoussion, Commissioner B~ack withdrew his former motion, and moved tl~t the matter be referred to the Com:1ss1on as a Committee to go down and investigate this area and bring back report to a 1ater meeting. Oommissioner Turner seconded the motion, which was voted upon and unanilnousl:y carried. r;.;'lj.,.:~:.;1.i(.~~,i~.l,~. i~.~~~~t;i~;.:;~~.2~~~;...:,,< .. 'v' '..1,.... L .. ,. '."

Copy of' Mr. Phillips request was attached to the Zoning Board letter. to- gether with a copy of a survey showing outline of buildings to be plaoed on the pro- perty desoribed in the request. City Attorney stated that zoning line runs right down the middle of a lot_ and that since one can build only one dwelling within an R-2 zone that it oreates a very peculiar leKal question. He stated that half the lot is in a B District and half in an R-2: distr1ct. After discussion, Commissioner Turner moved that Zoning Board's reoommendation be followed and request by Mr. Lloyd M.

Mr. Phillips stated that Lot 18 of Padgetts Estate Subdivision runs 174 feet on Cleveland Street and 210 feet back on Betty Lane North and South. The first 110 reet North of Cleveland Street is zoned for business and the remainder of the lot is zoned for R-2. The lot was orl~inal1y 194 feet long. He stated that the City has already taken 20 feet off the side of the lot to make up necesaary width .for Betty Iane, and that his t:athel' owns eVerything between Cleveland and Laurel streets. He ata ted he believed there are six violations wi thin the block from Laurel to Grove Streot, and tha t the l'oor feet extra would make a great deal of difference in the size of the rooms in the eft:lciency apartments his father plana to build. He said that the architect has atated that the rooms would be too small for what it should contain if the four feet were not allowed.

City Commissioners City Hall Olearwater, Florida Gentlemenz At a reoent meeting on August 17th or the Directors or the Olearwater Beach Asso- clation, the writer was instruoted to request ot the municipal authorities an assignment of additional police patrol alonr, the Beach to enroroe the anti-dog ordinanoe and the disrobing ordinance along the water front where such is prevalent and particularly to re~ulate the picnicking and housekeeping 1n the area ot the water tank park over the Saturday and Sunday times when the beach is so orowded. It was felt that it would not require additional patrolu~n but rather Q re- assignment of some of the mainland patrolman to the beach at those particular times since there was conlparatively less traffic and people on the mainland at those same times. ----~-----------------------------~---------------~--------- , . , , \ '. .1 ,..,:,.\" Cordially yours, CLEARWATER BEACH ASSOCIATION Ralph W. Carson, President AUf~ust 20, 1951 City Co~iasioners of the City of Clearwater, Florida Dear Mayor Brown: This is in regard to an lmprovement Certificate held by the Oity or Clearwater against a lot owned by the Catholio Church; the Bame being Lot Nine (9) Block "DIt of Mo\mt Orange Subdivision, the certi~icate being No. 2233 and reoorded in C. I. Book 15, Page 432. The certiricate was issued in 1925 and apparently never be- came part or the records of the City of Clearwater and also was not put on the oltY' records work on the city books in Aprl1 of 1936. It 1s doubtful that the pro- perty owners ever had notice of this certificate. It is my understanding that the procedure in the, past was to issue a satisfaction upon payment of 10% as a settlement with the City, I am hereby enclosing a check of $'7.37, the same being 10% of the .full amount of ~~'73.75. You may return the satisfaction of ~provement certificate to my office. Very truly yours, /s/ Frank J. ~luacarella, Jr. FJM: 1e Blowing Rock_ N.

Anderson Building Inspector City of Clearwater Florida Dear Mr. Anderson: . ~ i My father is the owner o~ certain property described as Lots 28,29,30 and 31. ~dgett's Estate Subdivision~ which is bounded on the North by Laura Street and on the East by Betty Lane. He is also the owner of property described as the East 307 ~eet of Lots 18 and 19, Padgett's Estate SubdiVision, which is bounded on the South by Cleveland Street and on the East by Betty Lane. He io, therefore, the owner of the entire East end of this block of property running North and South from I8.ura Street to Cleveland. There 1s located on this property Phillips Motel~ and my father is desirous of making certain additions to the East wing of said motel, together with the erection of a house to be located on Lot 31 above described. i' \ . .. " . '. ',' . . ,. ;': \ . f .1 I under the zoning law of the City of Clearwater, all property ~acing on Oleve- land Street is Z OIled for bus iness, but only to a depth of 110 feet. North ot this 110-~oot strip the balance of the property above described is zoned as R-2, whioh requires a 20-foot setbaok from both streets. Attached hereto 1s a plot plan show- ing the desired locations of the anticipated construction. You will note that the proposed construction joins the motel and my father will have his office in the proposed construction on the East wing. The speoe required by his office is such that it is moat necessary for us to have a relaxation of the zoning laws to the ex- tent that a 16-foot setback be established for the balance of the property described as the West 307 feet of Lots 18 and 19, Pad~ett's Estate. I ~eel that it would be unjust to have two different aoning regulations apply to the same lot and that in all good conscience the zoning should have been extended to the rear of' said Lata 18 and 19 and not stopped halfway. We do not require a relaxation of the zoning ordinances for the property described as Lot 31. I will be glad to appear before you at a meeting and discus& this matter with you fUlly.

Anderson, Sec��* Zoning Board Sub jects REQUEST OF I,I�OYD I��S._ PH2LLIPS At tha reg;ular meeting of the Zaning Board held Tuesdav evenin�, August 21st, 1951, a motion was made and carried that the request of Lloyd M. Iyh311ips aslting for a 16 foot set back inatead of the regulax� 20 foot as zoned on Lot S8, P�dgetts Estate Subdivision, (facing Betty Isne), be denied. In makin� this recounnendation the Board feela that the present zoning does not 3mpose a hardship as the proposed build3ng could be designed to come within the re�ular 20 foot set back �onin�. Attached herewith 3s a copy of Mr. Phillips request together with a copy of a suraey ahowi.ng outl3ne of buildings to be placed on the property describ�d in the above rec�uest. CI�i1.' CO&iBiISS`TON MEETING �eptember �F, 195I &Ir. Oliver H. Anderson Building Inspector Cit;� o,f Clearv�ator F]_orida Dear Mr. Anderson: Au�;ust 3, :1�5Z My fa'ther ia the owner of certain propertg describe�d as I,ots 28,29,30 and 31, Padgett►a Estate Subdivision, tvhich is bounded on the rTorth by I,aura 5treet and on the East bg Betty Lane. He is �lso the owner of property described as the East 307 feet of Lots �8 and 199 Pad�ett�s Estate Subdivis3on, which is bounded on the South bg Cleveland 5trset and on the East �y Bettq Iane. Eie is, therefore, the ownex of the entire East end of this black of propertg running NortYi and S'outh from %ura Street to Cleveland.. There is locate�' on this property Phillips Motel, and my father is desirous of making certain additions to the East w�ng of said mote?, together tiv3th the erection of a house to be located on Lot �1 a�bove described. Ullder the zoning l�w of the CitS of �learv�ater, all property facin� on Cleve- land Street is zoned for business, bu� only to a depth of 110 feet. North of this 110-foot strip the balance oz the property above described is zened as R-2, which reguires e 20-fo�t setback from both atree�ts. Attached herato is a plot plan sh.nw- ing the desired lbcations of the anticipated construction. Xo'u w317i note that the bropased construction joins tha motel and mp father will ha�e tiis office in the proposed construction on the East dving. The spac:e required bp his office is such that it is most necessary for us to have a re�xation of the zoning laws ta the ex- tex�t that a 16ofoot setback be established for the balance of the pr�perty descr3.bed as the VJest 307 feet of I,ots I8 and 19, Pad�ett�s �state. I feel that it would be unjust to have two diiferent �oring regulat3ons apply to the same lot and that in all good conscience the zoning should have been extended to the rear of s�id Lot� 18 and 19 and not stopped halfws;�. Y1e do not require a relaxation of the zoning ordinances for the property d�scribed as I�t 3:L. Z rcil� be �lad �to appear before you at a meet3n� and discus� this matter with you fully,.
