City Zoning Board and the City Commissioners of the City of
Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida
In reference to my Lot No.1, Blk. No. E, Lakeview Heights Subdivision, located
at the corner of Lakeview Drive and South Michigan Avenue. This lot is 50 fee~
by 100 ft. 50 ft. on Lakeview and 100 feet ,on Michigan Ave.
I would like to request, under the Hardship Law, that I be allowed a 10 foot
setback on Michigan Ave. instead of the 25 ft. setback in yoUl' ordinance. The
25 foot setback on the Lakeview side is all right, for that will still give me
room to build, but 25 feet on Michigan side takes half of my lot.
As you can see by the enclosed plan, the house will be 40 feet by )2 teet 6", the
40 feet being on Michigan.
Please consider my wishes, as soon as possible, and pass your decision on to the
City of Clearwater Commissioners for their approval.
Thanking you for your promptness, I remain
Sincerly,
/s/ Agness M. Rawls, now known as
Agness M. Favazzo.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
November 15, 1954
To: HONORABLE J. K. BATSTONE, CHAIRMAN, AND THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE CITY
OF CLEARWATER ZONING BOARD
and
HONORABLE HERBERT M. BROWN, MAYOR-COMMISSIONER. AND THE HONORABLE MEMBERS
OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER. FLORIDA
PETITION FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF A VARIANCE FROM THE EXISTING ZONING ACT
UNDER THE HARDSHIP PROVISION THEREIN CONTAINED
Gentlemen:
The undersigned Owners of the hereinafter described real property in
Clearwater, Florida hereby respectfully requests that this Honorable Zoning Board
of the City of Clearwater Florida after due consideration, shall ravorably
certify to the Honorable City Commission of the City of Clearwater, Florida the
request contained herein for the allowance ror a certain variance from the existing
city zoning act under the hardship clause or said zoning act witb rererence to the
allo~ance of the erection by the undersigned owners o~ a three ()) unit apartment
on each or the hereinafter described lots, all of ~hich will be hereinafter more
particularly set ~orth.
The undersigned o~ners are the subdividers and developers of that plot or
land known as "TAGARELLI'S SUBDIVISION" according to Map or Plat thereof as
recorded in the Public Records or Pinellas County. Florida.
That prior to the Amendment of the Clearwater Zoning Act in December of 1952
there was no prohibition whatsoever against or prohibiting the erection or three
unit apart~ents on the lots in question herein, to-wit:
LOTS SEVEN (7) AND EIGHT (8) & 14, BOTH IN BLOCK FOUR (4) OF TAGARELLI'S
SUBDIVISION ABOVE DESCRIBED.
but that in December of 1952 the existing Clearwater Zoning Act was amended so
as to place the above described subdivision in an "R-2" Zone which prohibits the
erection of a three unit building of the types planned to be erected by the
undersigned.
Petitioners herein would call to the attention of the Honorable Boards that
said two lots face on Hillcrest Drive, each having a ~rontage of seventy (VO)
feet along said drive and a depth or One-hundred and sixty (160) feet each.
Petitioners ~uld further call to the attention of these Boards that proceeding
Southerly along Hillcrest Drive rrom Cleveland Street there is the office of
P. H. Guinand. M.D.. On the next lot to the south there is in existence and in
operation a ~our (4) unit Motel. The next two (2) lots are the lots in question
herein. The next lot is owned by these Petitioners and the final lot in said
subdivision next in order is church property.
Petitioners herein further state that it was their intention at the time of
subdividing said property to erect such type of units on the larger lots such as
Lots Seven and Eight bordering on the through street of Hi~lcrest Drive but that
under the existing amendment to the city zoning act it is impossible to erect
other than a two unit apartment. Petitioners further show unto these Honorable
Boards that such lots are or suf~icient dimension easily to accommodate three unit
apartments on each lot; and that such type of proposed structures would be in keep-
ing with other properties along said street and that if the undersigned are not
permitted to erect on said two lots what they had originally planned, the prohibi-
tion against same would be a hardship on the undersigned owners.
Petitioners rurther represent unto these Honorable Boards that they have
drawn or have had drawn plans for the proposed three-unit apartments to be
constructed on each of said lots and that a copy or such plans ~ill be presented
to these Honorable Eoards for inspection at the time of the hearing upon this
Petition in order to sho~ the proposed type of construction desired by the under-
signed Owners.
Wherefore, Petitioners respectfully pray that the Honorable Zoning Board,
after a thorougb examination into this matter and after checking the proposed
plans oC the three-unit apartments to be erected upon each of said lots above
4escribed, will thereupon forthwith favorably certify to the Honorable City
~ommiS8ion oC the City or Clearwater its recommendations that in this instant
case your Petitioners may be permitted to construct the proposed units upon said
t~o lots above described under the Hardship Clause of the existing City Zoning
Act and that the Honorable City Commission, arter consideration of this matter,
will thereupon approve such variance to the existing City Zoning Act insorar as
permitting the undersigned to erect the proposed three unit apartment upon said
lots and that the said City Commission shall thereupon instruct the City Building
Inspector to issue a permit or permits to your Petitioners or to their Contractor
permitting immediate construction ~ith such variance as above requested.
Respectfully submitted this 21st day of October 195~.

Clearwater, Fla.
Dear Mr. Anderson:
r~. H. A. Winston has asked me to submit to hhe zoning board a request for a
set-back of 20 feet on Lot 3t Glenwood - on osemere Street.
Mr. Winston's home will ~ace on Rosemere. It will have 55 ~eet of depth running
north and south and will be 60 feet long running east and west. In order to put
this house on this property, Mr. Winston will also include the southerly 10 feet
of Lot 2 - Glenwood Addition.
I am enclosing a plan to Mr. Winston's proposed home which will be cut to the
dimensions which I have just mentioned. I am sure this will be an asset to this
neighborhood. ~~. Eckhart who is directly to the south of this lot, I am sure
you will find is in accordance with this proposal and Mr. Winston owns the
property which adjoins this on the north.
In view or the fact that exceptions have been made on other corner lots in this
area, with as little as a 15 rt set-back, I can see no reason why Mr. Winston
should not be given consideration in as much as he is only asking for a 20 foot
set-back. I feel it would be far better to have a home o~ this type than a much
smaller home Which would not be in keeping with this location.
Would appreciate it if you would give this your prompt attention as they are
anxious to start building on this property. Hoping to hear from you at your
earliest conveniencet I am
Sincerely,
/s/ Ben M. Evans

be grantedt permitting a 10' set back on Woodt and a 10' set back on Ridgewood,
provided that a house substantially the same as presented on the attached plan be

Due to the ract that the contours of this particular area are of a most unusual

CITY COMMI SSION MEETING
November 15, 1954
(Continued)
At the present time the requirements state that a building must be set back 55
feet from the curb line of Wood Street. Originally, a parkwar street was planned
for Wood Street, but the street was put through on the west s de only, leaving
25 feet of city property between the curb and lot 160. There are no indications
this street will ever be widened as this is an old established neighborhood and
there is no place for this street to lead to, so there could never be an increase
in the trarfic load. Furthermore, the city has recently put in new water mains
on this street and they follow this curb line, which would be very unwise if the
street were to be widened in the future. In addition to this 25 foot set back
a house must be 30 feet back from the city line, according to present restrictlons.
This brings a house back so far it would be impossible to build a house of a size
to be in keeping with other homes in the neighborhood.
We are asking for a relaxation of 20 feet on the Wood Street side, so that the
house would set 35 feet back from the curb line. On the Ridgewood Street side,
which is the secondary street at this intersection, we are asking for a relaxation
of 15 feet.
During the past year the City Commission has granted relaxed requirements for
the entire block of property opposite our property on Maple Street, namely,
property which is bounded by Smallwood Circle, Wood Street, and Maple Street,
for similar hardship reasons. We hope you are able to grant us the same considera-
tion.
The following adjoining property owners have given their consent to this action:
Edmund S. Whitson
Jerome J. Aull
Howard P. Rives
Alfred P. Marshall
Audrey L. Whitson
Rose M. Aull
Betty G. Rives
Jessie C. Marshall
Respectfully yours,

City Commission
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
I am writing you at the request of Ernest A. Barger, Jr., who is the owner
of the Sea Captain Motel on Clearwater Beach, Florida, and who also owns Lots 1
and 2 Bayside Subdivision, which lots are immediately adjacent to the Sea Captain
on the Ec.st.
It is respectfully requested that the Commission give con~ideration to
extending the present sea-wall line boundary of these properties to the point
indicated on the attached sketch, which has been prepared to scale by Leo M;
Butler, Registered Engineer.
In the event this is approved by the Commission, Mr. Barger agrees to proceed
immediately with the construction of the sea-wall and necessary fill, which sea-wall
shall 'conform in all respects with the City's present requirements.
Your attention is invited to the fact that the present sea-wall line renders
Lots 1 and 2 Bayside practically useless. The requested extension will not
adversely affect any or the adjoining property owners, and will have no material
effect on boating activities.
It appears to me that this request is entirely reasonable and your favorable
consideration will be greatly appreciated.

Yours respectfully,
/s/ J. Tweed McMullen

This alley does not serve any present use, and is designed primarily for
the benerit of Lots 20 and Lots 15-19, inclusive.

Please consider my wishes, as saan as po;�sible, and pass your deciszon on to the

HOIVORABLE HERBERT M. BROWhi, MAYOR-COMMISSIONER, P.ND THE HONORABLE MEMBERS
OF THE,CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA
PETI TION FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF A VARIANCE FROM THE EXISTING ZONING ACT
UNDER THE HARDSHIP PROVISION THEREIN CONTAINEA
G�ntlemen:
The undersigned Owr.ers of the �:ereinafter described reaZ property in
Clearwater, F1�rida hereby respectf,ullq requests that thzs Honorable Zoning Board
of the City of Clearwater, k'lorida after due �onsid�ration, shall favorably
certifq to the Honorable Ci'ty t�ommission of zhe City o� Clsarwater, Florid� the
request contain��d herein for the allawance for a certain vatiance from the existing
city zoning act under the har�ship clau3� of said zoning act with reference to the
allowance of the erection by the undersigned owners of a three (3) unit apartment
on each of the hereinafter described lats, all of which will be hereinafter mare
particularly set forth.
The undersigned otiiners are the subdividers and developers of tHat plot of
land known as "TAGARE�.I,I�S SUBDIVISION" according to Map or Plat thereof as
recorded :Ln the Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida.
That prior to the Amendment of the Clearwater Zoning Act in December af 1952
there was no prohibition whatsosver against or prohibiting the erection of three
unit at ���ents on the lot s in question herein, to-witt
LOTS SE9EN (7) AND EIGHT ($) & 14, BOTH IN BLOCK FQUR (4) OF TAGAREI,LP S
SUBDIVTS:CON ABOVE DESCRIBEn.
but that in December of 1952 the existing Clenrwater Zor.ing Act was a�ended so
as to place the above described subdivision in an "R-2tt 7.one which prohibits the
erection of a thr�e unit building of the types planned to be erecte� by the
undersigned.
P.etitioners herein would cal 1 ta �he attention of the Honorable Boards that
said two lots face on Hillcrest Drive, Each having a fronta e of seventy (�0)
feet along said drive and a depth of One-hundred and sixty �160j feet eacn.
Petiti,oners would further call to the attention of these Boards that proceeding
Soutlierly along Hillcrest Drive from Cleveland Street there is the office of
P. H, Guinand, NY.D.. On the next lot to the south there is in existence and in
opsration a four (4) unit Mote�.. The next two (2) lots are the lots in question
herein. The next lot 3s owned by these Petitianers and the final lot in sai�i
subdivision next in order is church property.
Petstianers herein iurther state that it was their intention at the time of
subdieiding said property to erect such type of units on the larger lots �ueh as
Lots Seven and Eight bordering on the thrQugh street o£ Hiilcrest Drive but tk�at
under the existing amendment to the city zoning act it is impossible to erect
�ther than a twb uni* apartment. Petitioners further shoW unto these Honorable
Boards that such lots are of su£ficient dimensien easily to ar,commodate three unit
apartments on each lot; and that such type of proposed struct�ures would be in keep-
ing with other properties along said street and that if the and.ersigned are not
permitted to erect on said two lots what they had originally planned, the prohibi-
tion agains� same would be a hardship on the undersigned owners.
Petitioners further represent unto these Honorable Boarcis that thep have
drawn or have had drawn plans for the rroposed three -unit apartments to be
constructed on each of said lots and that a co�:y of such plans will be presented
to these Honorable Boaras for inspection at the time o� the heax�ing upon th3s
Petitian in order to show the propos�d type of construction desired by t�e under-
signed Owners.
Wherefore, Peti�tioners respectfully pray that the Honorable Zoning Board,
aiter a th�rough examinatian into this matter and aftes �hecking the proposed
plans of the �hree-unit apartments to be erecteci upon each of said lots above
described, will thereupon forthwith favorably certi£y to the Honorat�le City
�ommission og the City of Clearmater its recommendations that in this instant
case your Petitioners may be permitted to construct the proposed units upon said
t�Yo Zots above described under the Hardshig C3.ause of the existing City Zoning
Act and that the Hanorable City Commissiun, after cc,nsideration of this matter,
wi11 thereupon approv� such variance to tne existing City Zoning �ct insofar as

Deax Mr. Anderson:
P+Iro H. A. Winston has asked me to submit to �he zoning board a request for a
set-back oi 20 feet on Lot 3, Glenwood - on osemere Street.
Mre Winston's home will face on Rosemere. It will ha��e 55 feet of depth running
north an d sauth an d wi11 be 60 fee� 1Qng running east and west, In order �o put
this house on this property, Mr. Winston will also include the southerly 1Q feet
of Lot 2- Glenwood Addition.
I am enclosing a plan to Mr. Winston°s pro po�ed home which will be cut to the
dimensions which I have just mentioned. I am sure this will be an asset to tk�is
neighborhood. Mr. Eckhart who is directly to the south of this lat, I am sure
you will find is in accordance with this proposal and Nir. �nTinston owns the
pr�perty which adjoins this on the north.
In vievr of the fact that excep�ions have been ma3e on other corner lo�s in this
area, with as li�tle as a 15 ft set-back, I can see no reason why Mr. Winston
shauld not be given cons�deration in as much as he is only asking for a 20 foet
set-back. I feel it would be far better to have a home of this type than a much
smaller home which vaould not be in keeping with this location.
Would appreciate it if qou would give .his your prompt attention as they are
anxious to start building on this pro party. Hoping to hear from you at your
earliest conveni.ence, I am
�inceraly,

be granted, permitting a 10' set back on Wood, and a 10' set back on Ridgewood,

erected.
Due to the fact that the contours of this particular area are of a most unusual

Att: Mr. John Batstone
Zoning Board
Gentlemen :
We wish to ask for the relaxation af existing boundary building requirements on
Lot #$0, on the northeast corner of Ridgewood Road and Wood Street, in the Glenwood
Esta�es Subdivision.
CITY CQNIMISSION MEETING
November 15: 1954
(Continued}
At the pres�nt time, the requirements state that a building must be set back 55
feet f'rom the curb line of Wood Street. Origi�ally, a parkway street was planned
for Wood Street, but the street was put through on ihe west side only, leaving
25 feet of city property between the curb and lot #$0. There are no indications
this street will ever be widened as this is an old est€�blished neighborhood and
there is no place inr this street to lead to, so there �oul.d never be an increase
in the traffic load. Furthermore, the city has recently put in new water mains
on this streei and they follow this curb line, which would be very unx�.se if ths
street were to be widen.�d in the future. In addition to this 25 foot set back,
a house must be 30 feet back from the city line, according tio present restrictions.
This brings a house back so far it would be impossible to buitd a house of a size
to be in keeping with other homes in the neighborhood.
We are asking £or a relaxation of 20 Peet on the Wood Street side, so that the
house would set 35 feet back from the curb line. On the Ridgewood Street side,
which is the secondary street at thzs intersection, we are asking for a relaxaY,ion
of 15 feet.
During the past year the Cit y Gormnission has granted relaxed requirements for
the entire block of praperty opposite our pro perty on Maple Street, namely,
property whiah is bounded by Smal2wood Circle, Wood Street, and 1�laple Street,
for similar hardship reasons, W� hope you are able ta grant us the same considera-
tion.
The followi ng adjoining property owners have given their consent to this action:

T am writing you at the request of Ernest A. Barger, Jr., who is the owner
og ths Sea Captain Motel on Clearwater Beach, Florida, and who also o�ns I,ots 1
and 2 Bapside Subdivision, which lots are immediately adjacent to f,he Sea Captain
on the East.
It is res�ectfully reques�ed that tha Commission giv� consideration to
extending the pressnt sea-�aall line boundary of these properties to the point
indicated on the attached sketch, which has been prepared to scale by Leo M:
Butler, Registered Ettgineer.
In the event this is approved by the Coaunission, 14Iz�. Barger agrees to proceed
immediately with the �onstruction of the sea-wall and necessary fill, which sea-wall
shall conform in all respects with the City's present requiremenbs.
Your attention is invited ta the fact that the presen� sea-wa11 line renders
Lots l and 2 Bayside practically useless. The requssted exter,sion will not
ad�rer•sely afiect �y of the adjoining property owners, and will have no material
efi'ect on boating activities.
It appear� to me that this request is entirely reasonable and your favorable
consideration will be greatly appreciated.
