The Mayor called the meeting to order, The invocation was given by Reverend
Robert Coleman, of the First Christian Church, Clearwater. Commissioner ,strang
moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of June 7th and the special
meetings of June 8th and June 14th be approved in accordance with the copies
furnished each member in writing. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy
and carried unanimously.
The City Manager reported that five bids had been received for the construction
of the lift station and sanitary sewer for South Gulfview Boulevard, Coronado
Drive and Hamden Drive. The bids were opened and read as follows:
Stansfield Construction Co., Tampa $46,977.00
D. W. Browning Co., Tampa 48,640.00
E. H. Holcomb, Jr., Clearwater 50,805.00
Laurance & Rutledge, Largo 44,938.20
W. D. Owens Constr. Co., Clearwater 46,390.00
The City Manager recommended accepting the low bid of $44,938.20 from Laurance
& Rutledge of Largo. Commissioner Strang moved that the Manager's recommendation
be accepted and that Laurance & Rutledge, the low bidder, be awarded the contract
for the sanitary sewer and lift station on the south end of Clearwater Beach in
the amount of $44,938.20. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried
unanimously.
The Mayor announced the next item would be the awarding of the bid for the new
Baseball Stadium but explained that the contract would have to be awarded subject
to the validation and the sale of the revenue certificates. Commissioner Bates
moved that the contract be awarded to the Clearwater Construction Company on the
basis of the base bid, this being the best bid, with the understanding that before
the work is started that the problem of the various alternates will be cleared
up, and the awarding of the bid to be subject to the validation of the revenue
certificates by the Circuit and Supreme Courts and to the sale of the certificates.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
Mr. J. S. Stephens whose base bid was $1.00 lower than that of the Clearwater
Construction Company protested the awarding of the bid, stating that he was the
low bidder if the bid was awarded on the basis of the base bid and he felt that
his firm was entitled to be awarded the bid or be compensated for the expense
they had incurred in preparing estimates. The Mayor told Mr. Stephens that the
matter was perplexing but that the Commission~ had made an honest endeavor to
to decide fairly and act in the best interest of the City in awarding the bid.
Commissioner Bates explained to Mr. Stephens that the City had a choice of several
alternate bids ~~which could make the Clearwater Construction Company bid the
low bid. Upon being asked for his opinion as to whether the Commission had to
accept the lowest bid, the City Attorney stated that a former City Commission of
Clearwater had litigated this question and the case went to the Supreme Court
for a decision whieh was that the City was not required to accept the lowest
bid for work but is required to act reasonably.
The Mayor announced the continuation of the Public Hearing originally held
April 19th on the request of Mr. James Andrews to have Lot 6, Block A,
Boulevard Pines, changed from R-l to R-2 zoning. The Mayor stated that the
recommendation of the Zoning Board had been that the request be denied as no
hardship existed. Mr. Maurice Thayer, a resident of the area, addressed the
Commission stating that he personally had no objection and that some of those
objecting previously were under the impression that R-2 meant Business zoning.
Tlle Mayor read a Resolution from the Crest Lake Association favoring the
rezoning of the lot to R-2 if the owner would erect a well-built two-family
residence on the lot. The Mayor also reported that there was on record a letter
from Mrs. W.G. Booth and a letter from Miss Mathilde Weber l'lithdrawing their
objections made at the previous meeting. The Mayor inquired if there were
persons in the audience wishing to object~ the change of zoning and there
was none. Having heard no valid objections at this Public Hearing, Commissioner

Corporation from the action of the City Building Inspector denying an application
for a building permit for the construction of an electric substation on Lota 19
and 20, Block 84, Mandalay Unit 5. Mr. E. B. Casler, Jr., attorney, for the
Florida Power Corporation stated that although the Power Corporation had the power
of eminent domain, it had asked for this Public Hearing in order to give its plans
full publicity and to assure those persons owning property in the vicinity that
the proposed substation would not bd an eyesore or in any way objectionable.
Mr. Casler stated that the Power Corporation was compelled to give electric
service where such service is needed and in order to give this service it is
necessary to have a substation on Clearwater Beach. The City Attorney agreed
with Mr. Casler's statement that the Florida Power Corporation as a public
utility had the power of eminent domain and could condemn the property to be used
for its facilities. Mr. Edward Mizner, Jr., Mrs. F. A. Reitz, Mrs. W. D.
Tompson, Mr. H. E. Meister, Mr. J. G. Llewellyn, Mr. Sam Roberts, President of
the Clearwater Resort Association, addressed the Commission opposing this location.
Mr. Meister, one of the interested property owners, inquired if an effort had
been made to secure anoyher location, and was informed by Commissioner Strang
that the Commission haqchecked with representatives or the Florida Power
Corporation and found that the suggested location in the Water Tank Park was
objected to by the Florida Power on the grounds that the water tank created too
great a hazard and the proRsed location on a portion of the land under lease to
the Clearwater Yacht Club was too small. Mr. Charles Kerekes informed the
Commission that he knew of four other sites zoned for business within 1,000 reet
of the location under discussion. Commissioner Russell moved that this hearing
on this appeal be continued at next Monday'S meeting and in the meantime request
a Florida Power representative to contact Mr. Kerekes and look at these four
locations he claims that he can get and then bring XRRm back to next MondaYls
mmeeting their findings and at that time the Commission can make a decision.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.

lots facing Hercules be zoned R-2 instead of R-l, reported that Mrs. Alvord had
withdrawn her request before the matter was considered by the Zoning Board again.

designation until Mr. Sanford can get an answer rrom the people to whom he wrote.

Clearwater~ Florida
Dear Sir:
I am writing to you in reference to the rezoning of Lot #6, Block "A"
Boulevard Pines Subdivision. This rezoning was asked for by Mr. James Andrews.
At the first hearing before the City Commission, I objected to the rezoning
of this lot because I was under the impression that R-2 meant business. Since
then it was made clear to me that the request for rezoning is ~or Duplex only
and that I have no objection to the rezoning of this lot to R-2. I find that
~t will be to my advantage that if a duplex is built on this lot I will benefit
by it as it will be better than an empty lot.
Please convey this message to the City Commission at their next meeting.
Respectfully yours,
/s/ Mrs. Wm. G. Booth

Dear Sir:
At a hearing before the City Commission not too long ago, which I attended
because I had received a letter that Mr. James Andrews had requested rezoning
or Lot 6, Block A, Boulevard Pines Subdivision. I objected to this rezoning
because I was under the impression that R-2 meant business.
S~nce then I have been informed that R-2 is for a dup1ex lot and now I
wish to state that I have no object~on to this lot being rezoned to R-2.
Yours truly,
Is/ Mathilde Weber

Gentlemen:
Am writing this to you, as I think that I have a hardship case on the setback
of (251) twenty-five feet on the property I have at the corner of San Jaun Court
and So. H~llcrest Ave. As all of the other homes are in line of a (10') ten foot
setback aJ.ong So. Hillcrest Ave.
And as you can see from the enclosed draw~ng, any additional tying onto present
building, I would not be able to make as nice a showing property as I would like
too, ir I am to abide by the setback of the (25') twenty-five feet on So.
H~llcrest Ave.
I will appreciate your very most kind consideration on this matter and request,
and your advisement of disposition.
ReB~ectfully,
Isr lt1. J. Reitz

Gentlemen:
Attached is a plot plan showing a residence to be built for us on Lot 16,
Block 10 of Mandalay Subdivision; the Northeast corner of Mandalay Avenue and
Mango Street.
Inasmuch as all the surrounding residences are located on their respective
lots in the same manner and it would indeed be impossible to build our home
under the provisions of the existing ordinance, we submit the matter for your
action and approval on the basis that it will cause no harm or injury to any
surrounding property owners and will, in fact, be an improvement to the

Dear Sirs:
The 1001 Corporation, a family corporation of which Miss Annette de Bono is the
principal owner, holds the property at 1001 Eldorado and the beach cabana
immediately west of this home, which cabana is 1000 Eldorado. Many members
of the family visit here during the Winter months but are handicapped by lack
of sufficient bedroom space for their comfort, need and enjoyment. For this
reason they desire to add two bedrooms to the cabana. The construction work
will be done by Peter and Carl Falzoni. The architecture will be similar to
that' which is there now. The addition will have terrazo floors and a barrel
tile roof. The sketch which accompanies this letter shows the construction
as it is now and as it will be with the proposed addition. The house immediately
south of the cabana is owned and o~cupied by Larry Dimmitt, Sr., which house ex-
tends to the property line. The house immediately north of the cabana is
owned by J. A. Smith of Tampa, which house extends closer than two feet to the
property line.
We request permission to build this proposed addition to the cabana.

Yours sincerely,
BAKER & BAKER

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
June 21, 1954
Mr. Herbert Brown, Mayor and
Members of the City Commi3sion
Clearwater, Fla.
Gentlemen:
June 21, 1954
For the past several weeks, I have been aware of the pending action to annex
to the city that part of Skycrest Subdivision known as Unit 9, lying to the East
of Hercules Avenue. However, I did not know until within the past four days
that in connection with such proposed annexation it was planned to zone all lots
on the East side of Hercules Avenue North of Rainbow, except those facing on
Drew st. for one family residences.
As a property owner in Unit 9 of Skycrest, I wish to go on record as heartily
favoring the annexation of that unit by the city. However, with reference to the
proposed zoning of the lots lying along the East side of Hercules Avenue, North
of Rainbow, I wish to point out that according to the recorded restrictions placed
upon these lots by the developers, A & W Glads, Inc., which restrictions are
incorporated by reference in the deeds given to these lots, they are restricted
to two family homes, commonly known as duplex.

j:.~~;;;lr-,~
As a Real Estate Broker I have handled the sale of several of these lots
where the restrictions permit the building of duplex dwellings. One of them
already has a duplex building under construction. The purchasers of three more
of these lots reside some distance from Clearwater. One of them lives as far
away as Nebraska. At the time these lots were sold, I represented to the purchasers
that the recorded restrictions permitted the building of a duplex upon each
lot, and the deeds to the lots incorporate by reference those restrictions.
purchasers relied upon my representations when buying these lots and I know
the intention of one party to build for himself on one of the lots. I have
reason to believe that such was also the purpose of the other parties.
These
it was
every
Since entering the Real Estate business I have done every thing in my power,
and I believe with a good degree of success, to establish a reputation for
absolute honesty and truthfullness in all my dealings and representations. That
reputation I wish to guard zealously. These purchasers were visitors to
Clearwater who became impressed with our city and I believe ultimately intend to
make it their home. They have no way of knowing of the contemplated action whi:ch
would deprive them of their right to construct a duplex home on their lots and
thereby inconvenience them in addition to probably diminishing their property
val ue .
Immediately upon learning of the contemplated zoning, I sent an airmail
special delivery letter to each party who purchased lots on the East side of
Hercules Avenue through my office, informing them of what I understood was taking
place, and requested their instructions. As yet I have had no reply to these
letters, nor do I know that they have received them.
This city depends largely upon the tourist for its growth, and the impression
made upon these visitors is important as it is conveyed to their friends through-
out the country. These people purchased property in a new subdivision outside
the city limits with certain prescribed restrictions and for the city to annex
this property and place upon it a zoning contrary to the restrictions in effect
at the time of purchase is in my opinion a breach of good faith and an act which
will be most detrimental to the growth of our city.
In addition to the foregoing, I own a lot on Hercules Avenue which falls
within the category of those discussed above, and it is my plan to erect upon
said lot a nice duplex residence, one side of which I expect to occupy. The
plans for this building are now in the pencilled sketch stage. It is hoped that
upon further consideration Unit 9 of Skycrest Subdivision will be taken into
the City of Clearwater without changing in any manner the rights of p1lrchasers
of lots therein according to the restrictions placed upon the property by the
developers and under which conditions the sale of lots was made.
Your earnest consideration and favorable reaction to this matter will be
greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Is! E. M. Sanford

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
June 21, 1954
Mr. Oliver Anderson, Secretary
City of Clearwater Zoning Board
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The undersigned are owners of property fronting on Gulf View Boulevard
between First street and Third Street. It is our desire to have a twenty foot
building line established for this area, instead of a ten foot bUilding line as
required by the present zoning ordinance.
There are at present no bu~ldingB ~n this block closer than twenty feet
to the street line. The block south of us has a twenty five foot building line.
It is therefore our belief that to perm~t any bllildings to be erected only ten
feet from the street line wo~1d destroy the view from some of the' bllildings
now erected, would cause an unsightly appearance, and would have an adverse
effect on the entire neighborhood.
We therefore respectfully request the Zon1ng Board to approve an amehdment
to the zoning ordinance that will reestablish a twenty foot building line in
this block.

been made to secure ano her location, and was informed by Commissioner Stratig
that the Commission hac�hecked with representatives of the Florida Power
Corporation ar_d found that the suggested location in the Water Tank Park was
ok�jected to by the Florida Power on the grounds that the water tank created too

Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir:
522 S, Cr�st Ave.
Clearwater, Florida
June o, 195�+
I am writing to you in reference to the rezon�ng of Lot #6, B1ock "A"
Bou?evard Pines Subdivision. This rezon"ng w�.s asked fcr by Mr. James Andrews.
At the £irs� hearin� before the City .;ommission, I objected to the rezoning
of this lot becauae I was under the 3mpreasion that R-2 meant business, Since
then it was made clear to me that the request for rezoning is for Duplex only
and that I have no objection to the rezoning of this lot to R-�. I find that
it wi11 be to my advantage tha� if a duplex is built on this lot I will benefit
by it as it will be better than an empty lot.
Please convey this message to �he City Commission at their next meeting.

Dear Sir:
A,. �. hearing before the City Commission not too long ago, which I attended
because I had received a letter that Mr, James Andrews had requested rezoning
of Lot 6, Block A, Boulevard Pines Subdivision. I ob�ected to this rezoning
because I was undsr the impression that R-2 meant business.
Since then I have been informed that R-2 is for a duplex lot and now I
wish to ctate that I Yave no objection to this lot being rezoned to R-2.
Yours truly,

Gentlemen:
Am writing this to you, as I think that I have a hardship case on the setback
of (25�) twenty-five feet on the praperty 3 have at the corner of San Jaun Court
and So. Hillcrest Ave. As all of the o�her homes are in line of a(10') ten foot
setback along So. Hillcrest AVe.
And as you can see from the enclosed drawing, any additional tying onto present
building, I would not be able to make as nice a showing property as I would like
toa, if I am to abide by the se�back of the (25�) twenty-five feet on So.
Hillcrest Ave.
I will appreciate your very most kind consideration on this matter and request,
and your advisement of dYsposition.
Res ectfully,

Dear Sirs;
June 4, 1954
The 1001 Corporation, a family corporation of �,thich Niiss Annette de Bono is the
principal oNmer, holds the property a+ 1001 Eldorado and the beach cabana
immediately west or" this home, wnie'rs cabana is 1000 Eldorado. Many members
of the f'ainily visit here durir� the Winter montY�s but are handicapped by lack
of sufficient bedroom space for their comfort, need and enjoyment. For this
reaaan they desire to add two bedrooms to the cabana. The construction work
tivill'be done by Peter and Carl Falzoni. The architeeture will be similar to
that cvhich is there now. The addition will have terrazo floors a.;:� a barrel
tile r�oof. The sketch which accompanies this letter shows the construction
as it is now and as �.t wi11 be with the proposed addition. The house immediately
south of the cabana is owned and occupied by Larry Dimmitt, Sr., which house er.-
tends to the property line. The house immediately north of the cabana is
owned by J. A. Smith of Tampa, which Yiouse extenda closer than two feet to the
property line.
We request permission to build this proposed addition �Eo the cabana.

3une el, 1954
���
For the past several weeks, 2 have been aware of the pending action to annex
to the city that part of Skycrest Subdivision lmoUm as Unit 9, lying to the East
of Hercules Avenue, However, I d3d not Imow until within the past four d�:ys
thai; in connection with such proposed annexation it was planned t� zone all lots
on the East side of Hercules Avenue North of Rainbow, except those facing on
Drew St. for one family residences.
As a property owner in Unit 9 of Skycrest, I wish to go on r�cord as hea�tily
favoring the annexation of that unit 'by the city. Hovrever, with reference to the
propased zoning of the lot� lying along the East side of Hercules Avenue, North
of Rainbow, I wish to point out that according to the recorded restrict3ons placed
upon these lots by the developers, A& W Glads, Inc., which reatrictions are
incorporated by reference in the deed's given to these lots, they are restricted
to two family homes, commonly known as duplex.
As a Real Estate Broker I ha.ve handled the sale of several of these lots
where the restrictions permit the building of duplex dwellings. One of them
already has a duplex building under construction. The purchasers o£ three more
o£ these lots reside some distance from Clearwater. One of them lives as far
away as Nebraska. At the time these lots were sold, T represented to the purchasers
that the recorded restrictions permitted thP building of a duplex upon each
lot, and the deeds to the lots incorparate by reference those restrictions. These
purchasers relied upon my representations when buying these lots and I know it was
the in�enticn of one party to build tor himself on one of the lots. I have every
reason to believe that such was also the purpose of the other parties.
aince entering the Real Estate business I ha.ve done every thing in my pcwer,
and I believe �rith a good degree of success, to es�tablish a reputation for
absolute h�nesty and truthfullness in all my de<�.lings and representations. That
rPputation I wish to guard :zealously. These purchasers were visitors �o
Clearwatier who became impressed with our city and I believe ultimately intend to
make it their home, They hav� no way of l,mowing of the contemplated action whi'ch
would deprive them of their right to canstruct a duplex home on their I.ots and
thereby inconvenience them in addition i;o probably diminish3.ng their property
value.
Immediately upon learning of the contemplated zoning, I sen� an airmail
special delivery letter to each party *Nho purchased lots on the East side of.
Her.cules Avenue through my office, iniorming them o£ wha� I understood was ta.king
place, and requested their instructions. As yet I have had no reply to these
letters, nor do I know that they have received them.
This city depends largely upon the tour3st for its growth, and the impression
made upon these visitars is important as it is conveved to their friends through-
out the country. These people purchased property in a new subdivision outside
the city limits with certaln prescribed resi;rictions a_nd for the city to annex
this property and piace upon it a zoning contrsry to �he restrictions in eifect
at the time of purchase is in my opinion a breach of g�od faith and an act which
will be most detrimental to the growth of our city.
In addition to ths foregoing, I ovm a lot on Hercules Avenue wh3ch fa11s
taithin the category of those discussed above, an.d it is my plan. to erect upon
said lo� a nice duplex residence, one side of whi_ch I expeet to occupy. The
plans for this building are now in the pencilled sketch stage. It is hoped that
upon further cons3deration. Unit g of Skycrest Subd3vision will Ue taken into
the City of Clearwater without changing in any manner the rights of purchasers
of lots therein accord3.ng to the restrictions p7.aced upon the property by �he
developers and under which conditions the sale of lots was made.
Your earnest ennsideration and favorable reaction to this matter will be
greatly appre^iated.

Mr, Oliver Anderson, Secretary

Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The undersigned are owriers of property front3ng en Gulf Vlew Boulevard
between First StrePt and Third Street. It is our desire to have a twenty foot
building line established for this area, instead of a ten foot building line as
required by the present zoning ordinance.
ihere are at present no buildings in thia block closer than twenty feet
to the street line. The block south of ur� has a twenty five foot building line.
It is therefore our belief that to permit any bui7,dings to be erected only t�n
feet from the street line would destroy the view from some of the build3.ngs
now erected, wnuld cause an unsightly appearance, and would have an adverse
effect on the entire neighborhood.
4Te therefore respectfully request the Zoning Baard to approve ar. amendment
to the zoning ordinance that will .reestablish a twenty foot buildi'ng line in
this block.
