The meeting was called to order by the Mayor. The invocation was given by
Reverend D. N. Asbury) Assembly of God Church) Clearwater. The Mayor inquired
if there were any corrections to the minutes of the meetings on February 1st and
February 4th. The Clerk reported that the minutes of February 4th had been
amended in accordance with Commissioner Kennedy's sug~estion by inserting the word
"proposed" in the first line of Paragraph 2, Page 366, to describe the water con-

The Mayor announced the Public Hearing on the installation of sanitary sewer

and the City Engineer had held a preliminary hearin~ with the property owners
which was very successful. He said the estimated cost was $4,895.60 or $3.06
per front foot with exceptions for those owners who had connected at their own
expense to a different li.ne. Having conducted this Public Hearing and having
heard no valid objection, Commissioner Bates moved that we proceed with the

the property holders be assessed in accordance with the proposed set-up and
estimated cost of approximately $3.06 per front foot. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
The City Manager reported that the project had been advertised for bids and
six sealed bids received. The bids were opened and read as follows:

accepting the low bid of $3,022.00 from D. W. Browning. Commissioner Kennedy
moved the approval of the City Manager's and the City Engineer's recommendation.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced the continuation of the Fublic Hearing on the request
of Mr. W. D. Owens for permission to erect a cabana on his property in Lloyd-White-
Skinner Subdivision. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Ed C. Leach,
President and Managing Director of the Fort Harrison Hotel) limiting the request
to permission to construct a small cabana instead of a pavilion on Lot 40 and
assuring the Commission that no business will be conducted on the premises. He
stated that he would be willing to construct an off-street parkin~ facility on
adjacent property if the parking in the street became a traffic problem. The
City Attorney read the Zoning Board's recommendation on the revised petition which
was that it be approved with the understanding that no business whatsoever be
conducted on the premises now or in the future. Mr. Owens who was present stated
that he joined in this amended request. Mr. Wm. Goza, attorney, addressed the
Commission requesting that the City hold fast to the existing zoning restrictions
insofar as it was possible to do so in order to protect the property holders who
have purchased property with the understanding that it is under certain
restrictions. It was his opir-ion that the granting of each exception had a
tendency to weaken the entire Zoning Ordinance. Having heard no valid objection,
Commissioner Bates moved that the request of Mr. W. D. Owens for permission to
erect a cabana on Lot 40, with permission to park, if necessary. on the lots .
directly across the street from it be granted with the understanding that the
permit would be written to coincide with Mr. Leach's letter and in accordance with
Mr. Leach's letter and in accordance with the recommendation of the Zonin~ Board
that there will be no business conducted on the premises, the building to be built
in such a way that no business can be conducted and no written permission be given
to conduct business in it at a later date. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the request of Mary E. Johnston for
a five foot setback line from Eldorado Avenue for Lots 13 and 14, Block 69,
Mandalay. The City Attorney read the request from Mrs. Johnston and also the
recommendation of the Zoning tloard which was that the request be granted. The
Mayor inquired if there were any objections from anyone in the audience and there
were none. Commissioner Strang moved as follows: "After having held this Public

A Public hearing was announced by the Mayor on the request of Michael Gonat08
for a ten foot setback from Bruce Avenue and a fifteen foot setback from Kipling
Plaza, on Lot 1, Block 20, Mandalay Subdivision. The City Attorney read the
request from Mr. Gonatos and a letter from Mr. M. J. Lelekis on behalf of Mr.
Gonatos. . He also read a letter from Mr. Cornelius Shepard, 752 Lantana Avenue,
objecting to the granting of the petition. The Zoning Board's recommendation was
that the request be denied. Commissioner Russell moved that the Zoning Board's
recommendation of the denial of the request be upheld and that request of Michael
Gonatos for a ten foot building setback line on Bruce Avenue and a fifteen foot
building setback line on Kipling Plaza, on Lot 1, Block 20, Mandalay Subdivision,
be refused. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously.
A Public Hearing was conducted on the request of Mrs. Lassie Waters for a
fifteen foot building setback line from South Street on Lot 1, Block I, and a
fifteen foot setback from Madison Avenue on Lots 1 and 2, Block I, Lakeview
Heights Subdivision. The City Attorney read the request from Mrs. Waters and the
Zoning Board's recommendation which was that the fifteen foot setback be approved
on South Street only and that the firteen foot setback on Madison Avenue be denied.
He also read a letter from Mr. Lawrence Morgan, owner of adjoining property, pro-
testing the granting of the request. During the discussion, it was decided that
more information as to setbacks of existing houses was needed before a decision
could be made on this request. Since the next item on the agenda, Request of
Raymond Faircloth for a firteen foot setback froIn South Street on Lot 24-, Block I,
was in the same category, COlmnissioner Strang moved that the Public Hearing on
the request of Lessie Waters and the request of Raymond Faircloth be postponed
to March 1st during which time the Building Department will bring in information
on existing setbacks of the houses around these properties. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kennedy suggested that all applications for exceptions under
the hardship provision of the Zoning Ordinance should be accompanied by sketches
showing conditions in the immediate area. The City IVlanager thought that these
forms could be mimeographed and supplied to the Building Department where they
could be filled in by the applicant and checked by the Building Department.
The City Manager reported that six sealed bids had been received for the
construction of a sanitary sewer in Franklin Street from Myrtle to Prospect
Avenue. The bids were read as follows:

Dear Sirs:
'"\, .
I am applying for a permit~ to build an addition to my present cabana. We
own lots 14 & 15 in Block 69, Carloue1. I have the approval of the Car10uel
Subdivision. This addition will extend to the same line from the street which is
only 5 ft. but as both of my buildin~s are on that same 5 ft. line, and many of
the other houses along this part of Eldorado are on the same line or even closer
to the ~et, we are not establishing any new line. The new addition of two
bedrooms & a bath will merely extend to the same line that is already set.
I will greatly appreciate your approval as we need the additional space
immedi.ately.

This letter is written as a result of the recent City Commissioners' meeting
at which this matter was discussed and is written by the undersigned as the main
party interested in the request. I understand that you gentlemen will discuss
this matter with the Zonine Board tomorrow ni~ht; therefore, I request that this
letter be submitted to the Zoning Board for its consideration at that time.
The purpose of this letter is to amend the request of W. D. Owens by limiting
it to omit features thereof which have apparently been objectionable to some
members of the public. It is hoped and believed that this limitation of the
original request will eliminate all features to which objections have been made.
The request is limited in scope to include only Lot 40 instead of the lots
enumerated in the original application. This emphasizes the applicant's desires
to construct only one attractive small cabana instead of a pavilion. The cop-
templated structure will include only two restrooms, one first aid room, a small
storage room and a shaded area where bathers can be protected from the sun.
Limitation of the request to one lot also assures that the structure will in no
fashion obstruct the view of any persons who own property across Gulfview Boulevard
to the East.
The operation contemplated is for the entertainment of a limited number of
guests of the Fort Harrison Hotel up to but not beyond eight o'clock P.M. No
business whatsoever will be conducted on the premises and the structure ~ill be
of such a nature that no business could ever be therein.
It is contemplated that two life guards will be on duty at all times that
the premises are used and it is further contemplated that a permanent floating
lifeline will be constructed for the warning and for the protection of bathers.
In addition signs will be placed to indicate to bathers the areas in which swimming
is dangerous. I understand that this will be the first time that this portion of
the beach has been thus protected.
In order to avoid congestion of the streets in the area which congestion
might operate to the inconvenience of neighbors in the area and members of the
general public, the applicant is willing to expend funds necessary to provide
off-street parking in the vicinity for the vehicles of persons using the private
beach facilities. I leave this matter to the discretion of the Zoning Board and
the City Commissioners since this part of the request is made in a spirit of
cooperation so that this club facility will not create additional problems for
the city.

Gentlemen:
As the owner of Lot 1 - Block 20 - Mandalay Subdivision - Clearwater Beach,
I am contemplating building a house on this lot in the near future. The present
zoning laws require that I set my house 25 feet from all streets. Inasmuch as
my lot is only 76 feet on Kipling Plaza - 50 feet on Mandalay and 50 feet on Bruce,
and being surrounded by these three streets, I would only have a lot 20 x 25 on
which to build.
I would like to face my house on Manda1ay and am requesting that you allow
me a 15 foot set-back on Kipling Plaza and also a 15 foot set-back on Bruce Street.
Hoping that you will give this your earliest attention, I remain

Request of Michael Gonatos
The Zoning Board recommends the denial of the request (under the hardship ruling)
of Michael Gonatos asking for a 10' - 0" set back on Bruce Ave. and a 15'-0"
set back on Kipling Plaza, Lot 1, Block 20, ~iandalay Subdivision.
The Board feels that due to the fact that a 20' - 0" set back has already been
obtained in this area, the granting of these set backs would be a detriment to
the value of the property surrounding Mr. Gonatos lot.

I here�by request permission, under the hard�hip provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance, for a street set back change from twenty-five (25) ft. to fifteen
(15') ft. a.n the Lakeview Heights subdivision, Block ? Lot 24.
Due to the fact that this Iot has only fifty (50�j ft, frontage on Mich.
Ave., the �resent twenty-five (25�) ft. set back only leaves me with twenty (20')
building space. So far I have been unable to find a suitable and comfortable
residential building plan that can be placed on a twenty {20t) ft. space.
T am sure others, in this subdivision have found this size corner lot
unsuitable for buildi.ngs and have asked for and been granted relief f.rom thi5
situation.
Yours truly,

Dear Sirs:
J�n. 27, 1954
I am applying for a permit to build an addition to my present r.abana. We
own lot� 14 a� 15 in B1ock 69, Carlouel. I have the approval of the Carlouel
Subdivision. This addition will extend to the same line from the street which is
only 5 ft. but as both of my buildings are on that same 5 ft. line, and many of
the other houses along this part of Eldorado are on the same line or even closer
to the strest, we are not establishing any new line. The new addition of two
bedrooms & a bath will merely e:ctend to the same line that is already set.
T will greatly appreciate your approval as we need the additional space
immed�.ate�.y.
Sincerely yours,

Gentlemen:
As the owner of Lot 1- Block 20 - Mandalay Subdivision - Clearwater Beach,
I am contemplating building a house on this lot in the near future. The present
zoning laws require that T set my house 25 feet from all streets. Inasmuch as
my lot is only 7b feet on Kiplino Plaza - 50 feet on Mandalay and 50 Peet on Bruce,
and being surrounded by these threP streets, I would only have a lot 20 x 25 on
which �o build.
I would like to face my house on Mandalay and am requesting that you allow
me a 15 foot set -back an Kipling Plaza and also a 15 foot set-back on Bruce Street.
Hoping that you wi11 give this your earliest at�ention, I remain

The Board feels that due to the fact that a 20' - Oti set back has already been

Dear Mr. Mi�dleton:
Please be advised that I represent Mr. Frank Photiadis, who has authorized me
to make the following offer to the City of Clearwater for the rental of the
lunch room located in the new Marina Building, Clearwater Beach Florida. Mr.
Photiadis desires that this lease be for a period of twenty (20� years and as
rental for said twenty-year period, Mr. Photiadis offers to the City the
following praposition:
L �150.00 per month, plus 5� of all gross sales aver �40,000.00 per
year, this to be rental for the first fifteen (15) years of said
lease.
• $�175.00 per month, plus Sf of all gross sales over $�1�0,000.00 per
year for the last five (5) years of said twenty-year period.
2. In the alternative, Mr. Photiadis hereby offers to the City the
proposition of the rental price of said lunch room being 5°fo of all gross
sales. Under this proposition, hawever, there would not be a minimum
monthly rental and this arrangement would be in effect for the entire
twenty-�rear period of the lease.
Mr. 1'hotiadis would be desirous of having the lease dated Julx 1, 195/�, but of
course, would require entry to the storzroom prior to that time in order that
he might properly install the equipment.
I an informed by Mr. Photiadis that he submitted another offer and that the only
d�fference in the offers is the actual terms of the rental price, and so I
