Gentlemen:
I am the owner of Lot #1, Elk D. Breeze Hills Subdivision on which I am
planning to build a house.
This lot faces on Pine street with the side of the lot on Highland Avenue.
The present restrictions require a set back of 25 feet on both the front
and side streets.
Since the lot is only 64.3 feet wide the present set back of 25 feet on the
side of the lot does not leave me enough room to build my home. I am there-
fore asking you to bh~~e this set back to 10 feet. I am enclosing the floor
plan for the house.
P. S.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Laura Margaret Hanson
Upon measuring the set-back for the house on the lot to the south
on Lot 20 blk D Breeze Hills I find it is just about 16 ft from the
lot line.

Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
The Board of Directors of the Young Women's Christ~an Association is requesting a
lease rrom the City or Clearwater, Florida on Lota owned by said City in Fairmont
Subdivision, Block G, Lots 10 and 12 (meant to be 6 and 7) on the West side of
North Madison Avenue at the South end or Russell street.
The Board of Directors of the Clearwater Young Women's Christian Association plan
to erect a building on these lots to provide a YWCA program for the negro youth.
This building will be under complete control of the governing Board of the Clear-
water YVICA ~ho will possess all funds and have complete responsibility and
direction of programs carried on in the bUilding.
A committee o~ local negro women have worked diligently to raise funds toward
this building and the Board requests this lease in order to maRe definite plans.
A large building will be necessary to house this group and it will take careful
planning to complete the project, so we would like to have the assurance of the
lease, with option to renew while we are in the planning stage.

EXCERPT FROM THE MINUrES OF THE CITY COMMISSION
MEETING of December 8th, 1948
************
Mrs. Lew~s Homer, representing the Y.W.C.A., appeared before the Board requesting
that the City lease two lots on North Michigan Avenue to the YWCA for a period of
ten years, the property to be used by the Negro Y. W. C.A. It was moved by
Commissioner Drew, seconded by Commissioner Crane and wnanimo~sly carried that the
request be granted.
~************
The foregoing is the only reference I can rind to any proposed lease of a building
~or a negro Y.W.e.A. in the minutes. I have searched the index to our legal files
and can rind no lease for the two lots.
While our records do not indicate what two lots are to be used, the lady who
called at this office said they were next to the lot under lease to the negro
Legion post, which is Lot 10, of Block G, Fairmont Subaiv1sion. (i.e. Lots 11
and 12, Block G, Fairmont Sub.)

Honorable City Commission

of City Employees' Pension Plan
Gentlemen:
I wish to sincerely request that favorable consideration be given my admittanc~
to the Employees' Pension Fund plan in order that I may contribute and share in
any future benefits as covered by the Pension Act. It is my des1re to remain
~ith the City as a permanant employee.
Attention is called to the attached report in which I am given as a "first Class
risk"4 but with a history of double hernia with operative repair, which was made
in 19 9. If I am accepted under the Pension Plan, this letter will serve as a
waiver of any claim for disability or other benefits under the Pension Plan
which might directly or indirectly stem from the hernias above mentioned.
Very truly yours,
