Elks Club on the way the program was carried out. Mr. Norton Davis, Elks Club

In discussing the request of Mr. Robert Wilson, attorney, to vacate Kipling
Plaza east of the east line of Bay Esplanade, t~e Mayor said a proposal had been
received from Mr. Wilson's client to sell the north 104 reet of Lot 4, Replat of
Block 53, (Yacht Club Block), Mandalay Subdivision, for t15,700.oo. He reported
that the Commissioners were considering this proposal since Kipling Plaza had a
100 toot right-or-way and it might be a logical place for an entrance to a second
causeway to the mainland. After inspection of the map, it was decided that the
north 104 feet of Lot 4 would not be entirely co-terminus with the Kipling Plaza
right-or-way and it would be necessary to buy more of Lot 4 than was included in
the original offer in order to extend Kipling Plaza east to Clearwater Bay.
Mr. Wilson addressed tho Commission stating that if the offer to sell was not
accepted, his client would still like Kipling Plaza vacated east of Bay
Esplanade. The City Attorney read a Resolution vacating that part ot Kipling
Plaza east of the east line ot Bay Esplanade ~hich included the condition that
the vacation was subject to an easement being received. Commissioner Kennedy
moved that in consideration of an acceptable easement being received trom the
property owner for the south ten feet of the North 104 ;feet of' Lot 4 tor the
City's storm sewer line that the proper officers of the City be authorized to
execute a Resolution vacating any street right-of-way within the boundaries of
Lot 4, Block 53, Mandalay Subdivision, as platted. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The City Manager reported that three bids had been received for widening

ment executed by Guy Parker, Lucille Parker, Frank Muscarella and Jennie Muscarella
disclaiming any interest in the south 2.17 feet of Lot 14 of Earll & Tates

building on the southwest corner of Laura Street was built approximately two feet

constructed two feet to the north of the right-of-way according to the plat,
thereby still leaving 44 feet as street right-of-way and sidewalk. The City

in the last paragraph of the Resolution be changed from "the property formerly

for the approval of the Commission. He stated that the original contract with
Mr. B. H. Sirmons on Sirmons Heights included improvements to this area too and
that most of the improvements such as the streets, sanitary sewers and the grading
tor drainage were already completed. The City Engineer reported that he had
approved the lay-out and that the sewers and streets had been installed under the
inspection of his o~rice. During the discussion, a question arose as to whether
the bond for the original Sirmons Heights Subdivision could be continued for
this addition. Subject to the approval of the bond Which has previously been
furnished by Mr. Sirmons and subject to his further compliance with all the require-
ments ot Ordinance 632 as stipulated in his contract, Commissioner Kennedy moved
that the plat of Sirmons Heights 1st Addition be accepted and the proper officials
be authorized to execute the necessary documents to complete the transaction.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
Mr. Carl Evers, President of the S.P.C.A., addressed the Commission describing
a strange virus which was causing an epidemic among dogs of the community resulting
in the death of many pets. He said so far as it could be determined it was not
harmful to people but the S.P.C.A. was recommending that all dogs Should be con-
i"ined for a period of 30 days, and requested the City Commission to take action
toward establishing a quarantine. Commissioner Kennedy suggested that if the
disease was widespread perhaps control measures should be taken for the County as
a Whole. He suggested that Mr. Evers and Mr. R. D. Warner of the S.P.C.A. appear
before the County Commission and present the situation to them and further
recommended that the Commission delegate authority to the City Manager to cooperate
with the County in any quarantine that might be established. The City Manager
commented that the matter should be reported to Dr. Ballard, County Director ot
Public Health tor action from this Department also. Commissioner Russell moved
that the City Manager confer with Dr. Ballard of the County Health Department and
work in conjunction wi th the County authorities to take whatever steps are necessary,
and if it is found that a Resolution to establish a thirty day quarantine is neces-
sary that the Resolution be prepared and the proper officials be authorized to
execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.

The Mayor reported that several proposals including one from Mr. Fred McManus
on behalf of Mr. Tobias Bonacio and Mr. Arthur Fontana had been received for us.
or lease of the City property on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard at the west entrance to
Courtney Campbell Cause~ay, particularly the portion formerly leased to Radio
Station WSUN which contains a building used by the radio station and a cottage.
In regard to this property, the City Manager reported that the State Board ot
Health, the County Board of Health, the City Engineer and he had been discussins
working out a master sanitary sewer plan for the area of Clearwater east of
Skycrest and were considering this property as a site for a new disposal plant
since the outfall line could be run out into Tampa Bay, it would be a most suitable
location. He commented that there might be room on the property for a communitI
house as requested by the Bayview Civic Club or perhaps the larger building cou d
be converted for us. if the Olub was willing to rehabilitate it. He suggested
that he and the City Engineer together with Mr. C. P. Moloney of the Building
Maintenance Department check the site and also the condition of both buildings.
During the discussion, the question arose as to how many of the members of the
Bayv1ew Civic Club lived inside the City limits, and Major Klugel, President ot
the Club, assured the Commissioners that he would check and report at the next
meeting. Mrs. Nancy Meador addressed the Commission as a resident of BayView in

assessment of the 240 feet in Bonair Subdivision ~hich is outside the City limits.
The Manager stated that a problem had developed inasmuch as tne property owners
on the south side of the street had presented a petition opposing the proposed
paving. It was pointed out that Mr. Turner owned more than 50% of the property
concerned. Commissioner Russell suggested that the City Manager have a prelim-
inary Public Hearing with the City Engineer and bring back a report to us
regarding the paving of Palmetto from Highland to Wood Street. The other
Commission members agreed with the suggestion.
Mr. William Goza appeared before the Commission as Trustee for the Highland
Terrace Manor Subdivision and explained that since this new subdivision contains
40 acres it was felt that it might not be possible to complete the improvements

Ordinance 632. He requested the Commission to grant an extension of six months.
COIIIDissioner Strang moved in relation to the Highland Terrace Manor Subdivision

Subject:
Mr. F. C. Middleton, City Manager
Mr. O. H. Anderson, Bldg. Inspector
Request of Harold Paul Fox
It is the opinion of the Zoning Board that the underscored phrase of Paragraph 9
in Section V of the Zoning Ordinance #627 authorizing use as a non-commercial
parking lot of property located in R-4 and RM Zones.
The question as to whether or not the parking area abuts the property primarily
used is immaterial in areas zoned R-4 and HM.
Attached hereto is original letter and also copy of Para. 9 in Sec. V of the
Zoning Ordinance.
------------------------------------------------------~------------~------~----
March 16, 1955
Hon. Oliver Anderson,
Building Inspector,
City Hall,
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir:
I represent Harold Paul Fox of Glearwater and New Jersey who owns Lots 3,4,9,
10 & 13 in Block $2 of MANDALAY, UNIT #5 on Clearwater Beach. Mr. Fox. is .
conferring with Architects and Builders with respect to the early erection of a
large number of Units on the above described lots. The contemplated construction
will involve several hundred thousand dollars and will be ~uite an asset to the
beach.
Realizing that the proposed plans will leave inadequate parking facilities
for off-the-street parking, my client has made tenative arrangements with Mr. &
Mrs. Wm. Bass, owners of Lot 15 in Block $4 of MANDALAY, UNIT # 5 to purchase
such lot solely for the purpose of accomodating of-the-street parkin~ for his
tenants in the new constructi on.
As you can see from Plat of such subdivision the Bass lot lies across the
street (Cherokee Avenue) from my client's property and the existing city zoning
ordinance indicates that in R-M Zones, in which your office tells me subject lot
is situate, said lot may not be used for parking unless directly abutting to the
other property of the Owner. Naturally, a 3trict interpretation of this Ordinance
would prohibit the contemplated use of the Bass lot by Mr. Fox as a parking
facility for the guests of his proFosed multip10 unit construction.
I have instructions from my client not to purchase the Bass lot unless
certificate of occupancy or other definite written assurances is given him that
subject lot may be used as a parking facility in connection with the multiple
unit to be constructed on his five lots above described and across the street
from subject lots. I have conferred with City Attorney Phillips and he indicates
that the intent of the act is not to prohibit such contemplated use of the lot by
my client and he suggests that I contact you for certificate of occupancy or other
written assurances so that my client can rely that he will not be prohibited for
such contemplated use as soon as his proposed construction is completed. As
stated above we are ready to close the deal with Mr. Bass for subject lot but I
cannot do so without such assurances. Mr. PhilliFS suggests that you call him in
event there is any question about issuing such certificate and I would appreciate
immediate word from you because we must either close the deal for the Bass lot
or withdraw from same.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Ray Ulmer,

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
May 2, 1955
Mr. Oliver Anderson
Building Inspector
City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am anxious to build for my son-in-law a Doctor's office immediately east of
the Fleetwood Apartments on Druid Road.
It is my intention to fill up the large ditch using a 3 ft. pipe similar to the
one now under Druid Road, clean up the Palmetto patch immediately east of the
Fleetwood Apartments and generally improve the appearance of this property. It
is my understanding that this property is not presently zoned for this purpose
and I would like very much if possible for the Zoning Board to make this change
for me. I, along with my mother, own all the property from Fleetwood Apartments
east to Mi~souri Avenue and thence south to Lakeview Avenue.
March 2, 1955
In my opinion the building of this office will not be detrimental to my property
and I don't believe it will hurt the value of any surrounding property.
Thanking you for your consideration, I am
JST:rm
Yours very truly,
/5/ John S. Taylor, Jr.
----------------------------~--------~---------~-~-----~-----~~--------~----------
The Zoning Board recommends that this use be granted, inasmuch as the use of this
property has been established for many years, and the proposed plan ~or develop~ent
is consistent with the best interests of the city.
The zoning of this tract of land should be re-designated as R-4, inasmuch as the
R-l designation was an oversight at the time of the last referendum.
Attached hereto is original letter and survey.

FRIENDSHIP METHODIST CHURCH
1907 East Druid Road
Clearwater
City Commission & City Zoning Board
Wednesday, March 30, 1955
Gentlemen;
In the interests of the members of Friendship Methodist Church, I hereby
request that you wave the zoning regulation which has been applied to this
particular area, and allow the members of this church to construct a new sanctuary
upon the present location. I understand that it is possible for you to do this
under what is known as the "hardship clause. "
We have recently had a survey made, as you will see by the attached plat.
The approximate location of the proposed sanctuary is indicated in red. The
Building Inspector has been contacted for necessary "set-backs," and an A.I.A.
architect employed to design the building.
The present building is about the oldest church in this county, and it is
believed that those planning to build in this part of Clearwater would be attracted
to a greater extent by a new Church here. As you well know, the City is expanding
in this direction, and needs larger churches to take care of the increased demand.
Thank you for your consideration and handling of this problem.
Respectfully submitted,
/5/ Jim Holmes
Rev. Jim Holmes
Pastor

Mr. O. H. Anderson
c/o Clearwater Zoning Board
This application comes from George and Willa Mae Peterson who are building
on Lot 20, Block H.
We are asking for 15 ft. Setback on Madison Ave. instead of 25 ft. thereby
leaving 34 ft. ror the residence.

April B, 1955
To: Mr. F. C. Middleton, City Manager
From: Mr. O. H. Anderson, See 'y. Zoning Board
S~ject: Request of Mr. & Mrs. Fred Haas
The Zoning Board recommends that we grant the request ~or a 15' set back on
Lot 1, Block 6, Bayvie~ Hei~hts Subdivision.
The reason is that it conforms with the setbacks in the surrounding area on
the same street.
Attached hereto is origlnal letter and plat.
-------------~----------~-----------------------------------------------------
March 19, 1955
City Zoning Board
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
We are in the process o! preparing plans for a residence for Mr. & Mrs.
Fred Haas on Lot 1, Block #6, Bayview subdivision, and find that it is impossible
to achieve the wishes and needs of our client due to the existing set-back
restrictions.
Our plan will require a reduction of the 25' street side setback to at
least 15' -0", as shown on enclos ed proposed plan. This in no way wi 11 change
the hannony and appearance or the area as this lot is about the last vacant
lot there and the majority of the existin~ residences are approximately 10' to
14' from the street.
The changing of this set-back restriction will allow our client to construct
a residence at approximately $25,000.00 which will certainly enchant the area.
Sincerely,
MALLORIE & VASCONI

Because the area embraced by Highland Terrace Manor 1s 40 acrOD and therefore
considerably larger than the usual tracts admitted within the City limits. in
accordance with the procedure followed here. it 1s roupectfully Bu~gested that
the 365 day limitation for cornpleti on of improvemon ta will not be aufficient for
a tract as large as this. While it is not tho intention of the developers to
pursue dilatory tactics in their plan for improvements. it will bo extremely
difficult to complete the improvements within the time ullottod, while engaging
also in a program of buildin!!; housen on the lots whore imrrovementB are completed.
It is therefore respectfully renuestod that the size of tho tract be taken

Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir :
1 represent Harold Paul Fox of �lear�vater and New Jersey wrho owns Lots 3,4,9,
10 & 13 in Block $2 of MANDALAY, UNIT �5 on Clearwater 13each. Mr. Fox is
conferring with 1�rchitects and Builders with respect to the early erection of a
large nwnber of Units on the above described lots. The contemplated construction
will involve several hundred thousand dollars and will be quite an asset to the
beach.
Realizing that the pioposed plans will leave inadequate parking facilities
for off-the-street parking, my client has made tenative ar-ranoements with Nr. &
Mrs. Wm. �ass, owners of Lot 15 in Block �4 of ViAnDALAY, JNIT # 5 to purchase
such lot solely for the pu•rposP of accomodating of-the�street parking for his
tenants in the new construction.
As you can see from Plat of sur.h subdi�rision the Bass lot lies across the
street (Gheroke� �v�nue) from my client's property ana tY,e existing city zoning
ordinance in�icates that in R M Zones, in which your office tells me subject lot
is situate, said 1ot may not be used for parking unless dir.ectly abutting to the
other �roperty of Ghe Owner. Naturally, a strict interpretation of th�s Ordinance
wauld prohibit the contEmpl.ated use of the Bass lot by Mr. Fox as a parking
facility for the guests of his proposed multiple unit aonstruction.
z have instructions from my client not to purchase the Bass lot unless
certificate of occupancy or other definite written assurancQs is given him th,at
subject lot may be used as a parking facility in connection with the multiple
unit to be constructed on his five lots above described and across the street
from subject lots. I have conferred with City A.ttorney Phillips and he indicates
that the intent of the act is not to prohibit such contemplated use of the lot bp
my client and he su�gests that I contact you for certificate of occupancy or other
written assurar_ces s� that my client can rely that he wiil not be prohibited for
such contemplated use as soon as his proposed c�nstruction is completed. As
stated above we are ready to ciose the deal with Mr. Bass �'or subject lot but I
cannot do so without such assurances. Mr. Phillips suggests that you call him in
event there is any �uestion about issuing such certificate and I would appreciate
immediate word from you because v�e must eithe� close the deal for the Bass lot
or v�ithdraw from same.
Sincerelp yours,

Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am anxious to build for my son-in-law a lloctor�s office immed�,ately east af
the Fleetwoad Apartments on Di•uid Road.
It is my intention to fill up the large ditch using a 3 ft. pipe similar to the
one now under Drui3 Road, clean up the Palmetto patch immediately east of the
Fleetwood Apartments and generally improve the appearance oi this property. It
is my understanciing ihat this progerty is not presently zoned £or this purpose
and I would like very much if possible for the Zoning Board to make this change
for me. I, along with my mothe r, own a11 the property from Fleetwoad Apartments
east to Missouri Avenue aYzd thence south to Lakeview avenue.
In my opinion the building of this offiee will not be detrimental to my property
and I don't believe it will hurt the value of any s�.�rrounding property,

Gentlemen;
In the interests of the members of Friendship Methodist Church, I hereby
request that you wave the zoning regulation which has been applied �to this
particular area, and allow the reembers of this church t�o construct a new sanctuarp
upon the present location. I understand that it is possible f�r you to do this
under what is known as the T�hard�hip cl.ause. �T
u7e have recentl;� had a survey made, as you will see by the attached plat.
The approx9.mate loco.tion of the proposed sanctuary is indicated in red. The
Huilding Inspector has been contacted fnr necessary "set-baaks,�� and an A.I.:A.
architect emgloye3 to design the building.
The presen� building is about the oldest church ir_ this county, and it is
believed that those planning to build a.n this part of Clearwater would be attr�cted
to a greater extent by a new Church here, As yo�z we11 know, the City is expanding
in this direction, and neEds lar�er churches to take care of the increased demand.
Thank you for your consideratian and handling of this problem.

Gentlemen:
We are in the process af pre parin� plans f or a residence for Mr. & Mrs.
Fred Haas on Lot t, Slock �6, Bayview subdivision, and find that it is impossible
to achievE the wishes and needs of our client due to the existing set-back
restrictions .
Our plan will require a reductzon of the 25' street side setback to at
least 15t-0't, as shotan on enclosed proposed plan. This in no way vaill change
the harmony and appearance of the area as this lot is about the last vacant
lot there and the majority of the existing residences are approximately 10� to
14T from the s treet. '
The changing of this set-back restriction will allow our client to construct
a residence at approximately �7.5,000.00 which w ill certainly enchant the area.

CITY COMA'IISSIQN MEETING
May 2, 1955
(Continuedj
Because the area embraced by Highland Terrace Manor is 1�0 acres and therefore
considerably larger than the usual tracts adm�tted within the Citv limits, in
accordance with ths procedure followed here, it is respectfully suggested that
the 365 day limitatzon for com�:letion of improvements will not be sufficient for
a tract as large as this. While it is not the intention of the developers to
pursue dilatory tactics in their plan for improvements, it will be extremely
difficult to complete the improvements within the time allotted, while engaging
aiso in a progr� of building houses on th� lots where im�.�rovements are completed.
.T�t is therefore respectfully requested that the size of the tract be taken
inLo consideration in connection ivith the time for completion of develapments,
and if at the end of a year wE have shown subst�.ntial progress with our plans,
we shall hope far your consideration in ar� application for extension of t�.me
allotted.
