CITY CO~iISSION MEETING December 20, 1954 (Continued) When we applied for a building rermit, we were informed of a new 5 foot setback ruling. Inasmuch as the house and detached garage and shower stall were built according to the original 3 foot setback, it would work an extreme hardship upon us if we could not extend and connect our house to the existing garage and shower stall along the original setback line. The space in our back yard is limited and this is the only way that the addition can be satisfactorily accomplished. This proposed addition will ~re~tly improve our present home and will in no way detract from the adjoining property if the extension can be built alongside the adjacent driveway and ~arage on a strai~ht line. Incidentally, the property adjoinin~ is used strictly for rental purI:oses, while ours is our permanent home. Enclosed are the plans for the addition as well as a sketch of existing buildings on the lot. We hope that you will ~rant us the necessary permit as we are very anxious to have the improvements started as soon as possible. Res~ectfully yours, /s/ Garl H. Nelson /s/ Katherine Nelson Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Nelson encls. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: Carl H. Nelson request The following adjacent neighbor freeholders have seen and approved our plans for enclosing the existing back porch and adding a bedroom and bath to our home at 411 Gulfview Blvd., Clearwater Beach, Fla., and feel that the improvements would in no way detract or be detrimental to their adjoining properties. /s/ Dr. Aaron Pepper (s( Dr. Fanny H. Pepper /s/ Vera Conley Dinges /s/ Gertrude Schneider /s/ Thomas Schneider -----------------------------------------------------------------------------~--- To Whom It May Concern: My husband and I have reached an agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Carl Nelson to the effect that we have no objection to their putting the purposed addition to their home, which is on the lot adjoining our property, (Lot 73 of Lloyd-White Skinner subdivision) provided the addition is flush with their house, that is, not closer to the line than their house already is.

J \ CITY COMMISSION MEETING December 20, 195~ (Conti.nued) As I intend to erect a one family dwelling on the said lot, plans for which I am enclosing herewith, and as the said building will have a front len~th of 6~ feet, I hereby request that you will permit me to ~uild this dwelling 20 feet away from its Bay Esplanade and Narcissus sides, instead of the present requirements of 25 feet, also Gardenia St. The reason for this request is that if I am required to cornforlTl to the present 25 feet away from the East and West property lines, this will not leave me enough space to put the buildin3 on, unless I cut down on its size, which will detract very much from the same.

Zoning Board Request of R. W. Jeutter The Zoning Board recommends that the request be denied for a fifteen foot setback in Block I, Hillcrest #2 Sub. for the following reasons: 1. No hardship has been shown. 2. No plot plan has been submitted. Attached hereto are letters. ----------------------..--------------------------------------------~---~------~~- Honorable City Commission Clearwater, Florida Sirs: November 3, 195~ The undersigned, R. W. Jeutter, whose address is 1406 North Garden Avenue, is the owner of Lots Ten (10) and Eleven (11) of Block "I", Hillcrest No.2 in Clearwater, Florida. These lots are subject to the restriction that no bui~ding shall be erected nearer than 25 feet to the front lot line. Lot Ten (10) is a corner lot. These two lots have been held as a unit. It has been found impossible to use or dispose of these lots to advantage by reason of the 25 foot restriction. Accordingly, the undersigned applies to this Honorable Board for a 15 foot set-back on Drew Street on Lots Ten (10) and Eleven (11) in place of the 25 feet set forth in the deed restrictions. Respectfully submitted, ;s/ R. W. Jeutter ----------~----------------------------------------------------------------------- TO: December 15, 1954 FROM: ~ayor-Commissioner Herbert M. Brown Commissioners: Jack Russell, W. E. Strang, Jr. John W. Bates, G. L. Kennedy Charles M. Phillips, Jr. I have studied the documents forming the basis for the issuance of the Marina Revenue Certificates with a view to determine whether or not space in the Marina can be let at such a nominal rental as would actually constitute letting of the space free of charge. This has reference to the request of the Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary for space in the Marina, and also inadvertently has effect uyon the situation in which the Beach Branch of the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce finds itself. I fee~ that these three organizations are in the same category, since they are essentially organizations of public interest and service. The technical verbage of the documents says clearly that space cannot be let free of charge nor can it be let at A lesser rental than is customarily receiveci for other.space in the project. I would like to be able to say that this also is so, but my opinion to the contrary would be subject to easy attack. (Continued) " '.', " \ ).:. , .~""_.'"

The only damage that could result to certificate holders would occur in the event that so much space were let free of charge that the foregoin~ ltems were not properly paid or funded. If there are sufficient funds to take c ,'ire of these items, the remedy is by mandamus merely to terminate the lettin,~ of srace free. I am trying to say that while I cannot ~ive you my opinion that letting of space free is authorized, it is my personal feeling that the practical hazard is small. ~his hazard is further reduced in the event that any leases for such space containod favorable cancellation provisions. If, in the exercise of your judgment, you were to de~ide that space should be let to the Power Squadron or the Coast Guard Auxiliary, it is my feeling that no serious result 'ilill occur, so lon~ an the ivl.arina is paying its way, and any error could he corrected by cancellation under arpropriate provisions. cc.

(Continued) / 7 ,; CITY CO'�Il�IISSION M�,ETIiVG pecember 20, 1Q5l� (Continuedj When we applied for a buildin� permit, we were inforraed of a new 5 foot setback ruling. Inasmuch as the house and detached garage and stiower stall were built according to the original 3 foot setback, it would work an extreme hardship upon us if we could not extend and Gonnect our house to the existing garage and shower stall along �he �riginal setback line. The space in our back yard is limited and t}.�.s is the only way that the addition can be satis�'actori�.y accomplished. This proposed addition will ;reatly irnprove our present home and will ir. no kay detract from the adjoining property if the exte�sion can be built alongside the adjacent driveway and garage on a strai;ht line, Incidentally, the property adjoining is used strictly for rental purposes, while ours is our permanent home. Enclosed are the plans f or the addition as well as a skPtich of existing buildings on the lot.

No plot plan has been submitted. Attached hereto are letters. -- ------------ Nov�mber 3, 1954 H�norable City Commission Clearwater, Fiorida Sirs: T:?e undersigned, R, tiV. Jeutter, whose address is 11�06 North Gard�n Avenue, is the owner of Lots Ten (i�) and 'Eieven (11) of Block '�I��, Hillcrest No. 2 in Clearvaater, Florida. These lots are subject to the restriction that no building shall be erected nearer than 25 feet to the front lot line. Lot Ten (10} is a corner lot. These two lots have been held as a unit. It has been found impossil�le to use or dispose of these lots to advantage by reason of the 25 foot restriction. Accordir.bly, the undersigned applies to this Honorable Board for a ls fqot set-back on Drew Street on Lots Ten (10) and Eleven {11) in place of the 25 feet sEt forth in the deed restrictions. T0: FRO� Respectiully submitted, /s� R. W. J'eutter Mayor-Commissioner Herbert M. Brotrrn Commissioners: Jack Russell, W. E. Strang, Jr. John W. Bates, G. L. Kenr�edy Charles M. PhiJ.lips, Jr. December 15, 1954 T h�ve studied the documents forming the basis for the issuance of the Marina Revenue Certificates with a view to determine whether or not space in the Marina can be let at such a nominal rental as ivould actually constitute letting of the space free of cha.r�e. This ha� reierence to the request of the Power Squadron and the Coast Guard xuxiliary for space in the i�Iarina, and also inadvertently has effect u�on th� situation in which the Beach Branch of the Clearwater Chamber of G�mmerce finds itself. I feel that these three organizat ions are in the same category, since they are essentially arganizations of public interest and service. �he technica]. verbage of the docurnents says clearly that space cannot be let free of charge nor can it be let at a lesser rental tlzan is customarily received for other space in the project. I would like to be able to say that this also is so, but my opinion ta the contrary would be subject to e asy attack. (Continued) � � � CI`!'Y COMMISSION MEETING 7ecember 20, 195t�. (Continued) The documents also provide that the i�+iarina is required to produce such revenue as will pay off the bonds, plus interest, operation anci maintenance, and plus the established reserves and sinking funds. ihe or_ly damage that could result to certificate holders would occur in the event that so much space were let free of charge that the foregoinp; items were not properly paid or �'unded. If there are sufficient iunds to take c�re of these items, the remedy is by mandamus merely to terminate the letting of space free. Z am trying to say that while I cannot give you my opinion that lettin� of space free is authorized, it is my personal feeling that the practical hazard is small. This hazard is further reduced in the event that any leases for such space contained favorable cancellatian provisions. If, in the exercise of your judgment, you were to decide that space should be 1et �to the Power Souadron or the Coast Guard Au;ciliary, it is my feeling that no serious result will occur, so lon; as the �°tarina is paying its way, and any error could be corrected by cancellation under appropriate provisions. cc.
