maintenance of the building, and to provide the necessary reserves and sinking

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.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING

(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.
Trusting that you will ~rant me this request, I thank you and remain,
Yours very truly,

Request of R. W. Jeutter

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,

Commissioners: Jack Russell, W. E. Strang, 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.

The documents also r-rovide that the :'larina is required to produce such
revenue as will payoff the bonds, plus interest, operation and maintenance, and
plus the established reserves and sinkin~ funds. 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.

r concur in this recommendation and therefore ask that the schedule of fines
be amended to include this offense and that the prearranged fine be $5.00 uhless
a valid license has been obtained and is displayed at the time the fine is paid
in which case the fine would be $3.00. This to apply to :first offenses in one
year only as is provided for other violations handled by the traffic bureau.
Respectfully submitted,

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.
We hope that you will arant us the necessary permit as we are very anxious
to have the improvements startecl as s��on as possible.

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

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

(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.
