The Mayor called the meeting to order and asked if there were any corrections
to the minutes of the meetings of May 2nd and May 9th. Commissioner Russell moved
that the minutes of the regular meeting of May 2nd, 1955. and the special meeting
of May 9th, 1955, be approved in accordance with copies furnished each member in
writing subject to a corrected motion of the minutes regarding the appointment
of the City Clerk. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimously.
Commissioner Russell moved that the minutes of the meeting of May.9th be
amended so as to reflect that Mr. Whitehead was actually appointed City Clerk
by the City Commission and that the City Commission directed the City Manager to
institute appropriate appointive documents to the Civil Service Board. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The City Manager called attention to the fact that the motion in the meeting
of May 2nd which accepted the plat of Sirmons Heights First Addition did not
include accepting the recommendation of the Zoning Board that the subdivision be
zoned R-l. Commissioner Kennedy moved that supplementing the Commission's
acceptance of the plat of Sirmons Heights First Addition that the Zoning Board's
recommendation of restrictions of R-l on the plat be approved and t hat it be placed
on the Zoning Map. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimously.
The City Attorney requested that a motion be made that all of these subdivi-
sions that have been approved and brou~ht into th~ City that.have not yet been
placed on the Zoning Map be placed on the Zoning Map. Commissioner Kennedy
suggested that it might be expedient to have the EngLneering Department make
a search for any of those plats that have been accepted and bring in a scheduled
list of each one of them and have the motion made at that time. Commissioner
Strang moved that the City Attorney prepare a proper Resolution for these plat3
that do not sho~ on the Zoning Map and bring it in for approval at the next
meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.

The bids ~ere read as follows:

Mortgage Loan offices
Banking offices & General

The Mayor remarked that the bids were too small for the Commission to consider
and recommended that the bids be rejected and the checks returned. Commissioner
Russell moved that the bids be rejected and the checks returned for the reason
that the price is not what the City Commission thinks the property is worth.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The Mayor
recommended that the property be placed on the market and that the Commission
entertain offers and bids from real estate men on it. Mr. Frank Muscarella
suggested that the building be appraised and then placed on the market.
Commissioner Bohar~on commented that it might be possible to move some of the
City Hall ofrices ~o the building. By consen~, the Commission agreed to
discuss the matter at a later date.

Commissioner Strang moyed that the bids be referred to the City Manager for
tabulation and report back to the next regular meeting. Motion was seconded by
Commise1oner Russell and carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the request or Dr. R. H. Center and
others for Business usage of Lots 23, 24, 25, Block B, Hibiscus Gardens, an area
presently zoned R-2. The City Attorney read the request from Mr. Ralph Richards
on behalf or Dr. Center and a group or men who are organizing the Clearwater
Federal Savings and Loan Association and would like to locate it on this site
adjacent to Cleveland Plaza Shopping Center. He also read the Zoning Board's
recommendation that the request be granted since the adjoining property to the
north contains a filling station, and the adjoining property to the ~est is
occupied by the shopping center. The Zoning Board felt that use of the property
for a bank would not be detrimental to residential property to the east and south
of these lots. A petition was presented signed by seven adjacent property owners
protesting the granting of the request. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Houchard, owners of
adjoining property on the east, objected that the change to business usage would
lower the value of their property. Mr. Ralph Richards addressed the Commission
stating that this group of men would provide a needed service by bringing a new
facility to serve the eastern section of the City. Dr. Center spoke to the
Commission pointing out that Lincoln Avenue was developing as a business area
and in the future there would probably be business on both sides of Lincoln from
Cleveland to Court St,reet. The Mayor commented that if the City Commission denied
the request for use of the property for the bank bllilding, the petitioners could
appeal the matter in Circuit Court, and it was possible that the Court's decision
would make the property available for any business purpose, not just limited to
a bank building. Since the Zoning Board recommends that the Commission approve
Lots 23, 24, 25, Block B, Hibiscus Gardens, for use as a bank building by the
Clearwater Federal Savings & Loan for the reason that it fits the hardship pro-
vision of the Zoning Law, Commissioner Russell moved that the City Commission go
along with the Zoning Board in recommending the approyal for this usage. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
A Public Hearing was called by the Mayor on the request of Dr. W. O. Van Brunt
for Business usage of property described as the north 15 feet of the West 96.75
feet o~ the East 193.5 feet of Lot 10 and the South 65 feet of the West 96.75 feet
or the East 193.5 feet of Lot 1, Padgetts Estates Subdivision. The City Attorney
read the request from Mr. J. T. McMullen, attorney, ~hich explained that Dr.
Van Brunt wished to use the property for a dental clinic. He also read the
Zoning Board's recommendation that the request be granted because the property
to the west is zoned Business. A letter was read trom Mr. Ben Krentzman, attorney,
written on behalf or Mr. Clifford Snedeker, Mr. Ben Sutton and Mrs. Margaret
Shannon, affected property owners, which stated that his clients had no objection
to a dental clinic being built on the property but would object to other business
usage. The Mayor asked if there were any other objections and there were none.
Commissioner Strang inquired if provision had been made in the setback of the
proposed building for 'che future widening of Missouri Avenue and Dr. Van Brunt
stated that he planned to have a setback of fifteen feet from the front property
line. After having held this Public Hearing on the request of Dr. W. O. Van Brunt
for exception to the Zoning Law for his property described as part of Lot 1 and
part or Lot 10, Padgetts Estates Subdivision. Commissioner Strang moved according
to the Zoning Board recommendation that this property be approved for use of a
dental clinic. Motion ~as seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimously.
The ~~yor announced a Public Hearing on the request of Mr. Paul F. Randolph
for a fifteen foot setback line from Bay Esplanade and an eight foot setback line
from Palmer Road for Lot 1, Block 271, Carlouel Subdivision. The City Attorney
read the request from Mr. Randolph representing Mrs. Roger Rogan who plans to
build a home on the lot in question and was requesting the change in setbacks
under the hardship provision of the Zoning Law. 'I'M Mayor inquired if there were
objections from anyone in the audience and there ~ere none. Having held this
Public Hearing, Commissioner Russell moved that the request of Mrs. Roger Rogan
for a fifteen foot setback line from Bay Esplanade and an eight foot setback line
from Palmer Road for Lot l, Block 271, Carlouel Subdi vj.sion, be granted in
accordance with the Zoning Board's recommendation. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously.
As requested by the Commission, the City Engineer said that he had investi-
gated the possibility of installing a sump pump for the storm sewer running from
the corner of San Marco and Mandalay Boulevard to the Gulf' and !ound that in order
to run a sump pump that would discharge all of the water from the storm sewer
system, a 40 HP motor and pump would be needed and the cost would be approximately
$16,000.00 and that a jet pump could be installed which would jet out the sand f'rom
tbe existing storm sewerD said installation would requir9 a 5 HP motor and the
cost 'tfould be approximately $1600 .00" However, the City Engineer thought that
extending the pipe further into the Gulf at a cost oC *~OO.OO would also accomplisb
the purpose. After discussion, the Commission agreed to inspect the site of the
storm sewer before making a decision.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
May 16) 1955
The Mayor recommended that Miss Sarah De Kirkpatrick be appointed to the
Library Board for a one year term. Commiss~oner Strang moved in accordance with
the Mayor's recommendation that Miss Sarah De Kirkpatrick be appointed for the
vacancy on the Library Board and that Reverend A. T. Cornwell be made an honorary
lire menber of the Library Board. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell
and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kennedy reporting for the Committee investigating requests for
abatement of the Boulevard Heights sanitary sewer assessment; stated that the
Committee had requested the City Engineer to draw up a comparative schedule of
the assessed cost on the basis of the number of square feet in the lots instead
of a front footage basis, and it developed some minor differences but not enough
to change the assessment as it has been spread and published. Therefore, the
Committee recommended that the assessment as made stand and no change be made in
the assessments of the several people that have made protests -- Mr. A. H. Smith,
Mr. John Parker, Mr. Edward E. Kimball and Kr. B. D. Shorter. Commissioners
Strang and Bohannon requested permission to refrain from voting. Commissioner
Kennedy moved that the assessment remain as it is and no change or abatements be
made. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell. Upon the vote being taken,
Commissioners Kennedy, Russell and Brown votEd "Aye~. Motion carried.
Commissioners Strang and Bohannon did not vote. Commissioner Strang suggested
that the property owners who made requests for abatement be notified that the
liens are to be filed in accordance with the original assessment.
The City Manager presented a sketch of an overhead directional sign
recommended by the Chamber of Commerce to be placed 200 feet north of the inter-
section of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and Route 19 and a similar sign to be erected
200 feet south of the same intersection at an estimated cost of $2,500.00 for
ea~h. Mr. Paul Ficht, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, addressed the
Cowmission explaining that the Chamber of Commerce would like to secure approval
from the State Road Department to erect the signs over Route 19. Mr. Ficht
mentioned that V~. Al Rogero, State Road Board member, had informed him that
plans were nearly complete for installing a cloverleaf type of crossing with an
underpass at this intersection. Mr. Ficht said if the Road Department was ready
to begin construction in the near ~uture the Chamber of Commerce would not
recommend the expenditure for the signs as they would not fit the clover1ea~
design. The Mayor su~gested approving the signs in principle now and at budget
time the matter could be considered for inclusion in the Chamber of Commerce
budget ir they wish to go ahead with it at that time. Commissioner Strang moved
that on the request or the Chamber of Commerce for the overhead sign at the
intersection of Route 19 and Gu1f-to-Bay Bou1evard that this matter be approved
in princi~le and that the necessary officials cooperate in getting the approval
of the State Road Department for these signs and by budget time if the lay-out
of the cloverleaf or whatever they are going to put out there is definite. then
the amount be put in their budget for the sigmfor next year. Motion was seconded
by Co~missioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The Mayor suggested that ~.
Ficht together with the Chamber of Commerce get behind a move to have more of
the State Road Department's directional signs put up to tell how far it is to
Clearwater.

The City Manager reported that the City Clerk had recommended that the
portion o~ the plat of Marymont Subdivision occupied by the City Airport and
other City property -~ Blocks 1-19, inclusive, be vacated inasmuch as the plat
still shows streets, etc., in that area. The City Attorney said it would be
necessary for him to prepare a Resolution and go before the County Commission
and have the matter advertised. By consent, the City Attorney was instructed to
proceed on the vacatihg of Blocks 1-19, Marymont Subdivision. The Mayor suggested
it might be well to bring all of that City property in that area inside the City
limits. The City Attorney was instructed to investigate the procedure of taking
it 111 the City.
The City Attorney read a Resolution which would dedicate part of the former
Hartsell property how owned by the City for right-or-way purposes for Pierce
Street and Pierce Boulevard and also a fifteen foot strip running north from
Pierce Street on the east side of the former Hartsell residence would be dedicated
as a public alley. Commissioner Strang moved that the Resolution be passed and
adopted and the proper officials be authorized to sign it. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimous~y.
A Resolution was read by the City Attorney which would request the Florida
Congressional Delegation representing this area to seek a Federal appropriation
during the current year to expedite work on tbe Inland Waterway Project from Lee
County to the Anclote River in Pine lIas County. Tpe City Attorney explained that
the County Commission had adopted a similar REsolution and was requesting all
municipalities in the County and all Chamber of Commerce agencies to execute a
like Resolution. Commissioner Strang moved that the Resolution be adopted and
that the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The Mayor requested the City Attorney
to send a copy of the Resolution to the Clear~ater Chamber of Commerce for its action.

Mr. Oliver Anderson, Secretary
Clearwater Zoning Board
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I represent a group oE men who have recently received permission to
organize a new federal savings and loan association in Clearwater, Florida.
We would like to locate this association adjacent to Cleveland Plaza. In this
connection we are negotiating for use o~ the ~ollowing property:
Lots 23, 24 and 25, Block "8", Hibiscus Gardens
The lots in Block "5" are 20 ~oot units, so the three units comprise a lot
60 feet by 100 feet at the northeast corner o~ Lincoln and Park. This lot is
immediately across the street from the Cleveland Plaza Shopping Center.
We would like to place our savings and loan bank building on this lot.
We feel that this would be an ideal location ror a savings and loan association,
and that an operation oE this kind would not be objectionable in a residential
area. Furthermore, we feel that the erection of the Cleveland Plaza Shopping
Center makes it inevitable that the property across the street Erom it will
eventually be used for business purposes, as it would hardly be desirable to
erect a residence directly across the street ~rom a shopping center of this
kind .
It is my understanding that the Zoning Board has permission to allow non-
conforming use or individual pieces or property where the conditions justiEy
sueh use. I respectfully request that we be granted permission to locate this
building on the above described property.
Very. truly yours.

The Zoning Board recommends that we approve the request of Dr. W. O. Van Brunt

Ruling, for the reason that the property to the west is zoned Business and to the

Secretary Zoning Board
City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Anderson:
April 25, 1955
I represent Dr. W. O. Van Brunt of this City who recently signed a
contract to purchase certain property located in Lots 1 and 10 of Padgett's
Estate Subdivision. This property is located East ot Missouri Avenue near
Drew Street. An inquiry at {our office has disclosed that the present City Zoning
of this property is R-~ - mu tiple dwellings.
It is Dr. Van Brunt's present intention to improve this property by the
erection of a building for use as a Dental Clinic. I realize that this raises
a question oC wnether this is a permissive use under existing zoning. Botn
Dr. Van Brunt and I thought it well to submit the matter to the Zoning Board for
a ruling before proceeding further with p1ans for this type of development.
It is noted that Section III of the present Zoning Ordinance, in which the
various use districts are defined, that ~medical clinic" is included in the R-4
classification.
It is a1so noted that the more detai1ed definition included in Section V-A,
includes hospitals. It occurs to us that the operation of a Dental Clinic would
be certainly within the spirit, if not the letter, of these provisions.
I am also ~nder the impression that the City Commission approved a recommenda-
tion of your Board permitting the erection of a Dental Clinic on the side of
Mis8o~ri A~nue approximately one block Soutn of the location herein involved.
It will be greatly appreciated if you 'WOuld submit this matter to the next
meeting of the Zoning Board. Any additional information or further assistance
I can give you" will be immediately available upon request.
Yours respectfully,

City Clerk
City of Clearwater
City Hall
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Sir:
I am writing on behalf of Mr. Clifford Snedeker, Mr. Ben Sutton and Mrs.
Margaret Shannon in connection with the public hearing scheduled for Monday,
May 16, 1955 at 1:30 P.M. upon the request of Dr. W. O. Van Brunt for an
exception under the Zoning Law relating to the following described property:
The North 15 feet of the West 96.75 feet of the East 193.5 feet
of Lot 10, and the South 65 feet of the West 96.75 feet of the East
193.5 feet of Lot I, PADGETTS ESTATES SUBDIVISION. This property 1s
located on the east side ot Missouri Avenue approximately 145 feet
south of Drew Street in an area presently zoned R-4.
My clients own property adjacent to this property. They understand that
Dr. Van Brunt has requested permission to use this property as the location for
a dentist office, and they have no objection to this.
The notice in connection with the public hearing indicates that consideration
will be gi ven as to whether said property can be used for "business usage".
Without knowing the exact use, other than for a dentist office, my clients do
object to general approval to use for business purposes.
It is their opinion that the authority of the City Commission under Section
XVII of Ordinance 027, the Zoning Ordinance, is limited to the approval or
disapproval of a request for a specific use which is in variance with the use
prescribed by the Zoning Act, and they would appreciate your consideration or
this request on that basis.
You are requested to make this letter available to the City Commission at
the time and place of said public hearing.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Ben Krentzman

The Zoning Board recommends that we approve the request for a 15' set back on
Lot 1, Block 271, Carlouel Sub. under the hardship ruling of the Zoning Law,

City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Attn: Mr. Leland Drew
April 29, 1955
Dear Mr. Drew:
Mrs. Roger Rogan, sister-in-law of Ralph Rogan, deceased, who owns a considerable
amount of property in the Carlouel Subdivision, has made plans to build a very
charming home on Lot 1, Block 271, Carlouel Subdivision. In clearing this
matter with the Building Inspector we find that there is a requirement of a
setback of 25 feet from Bay Esplanade. This 1s definitely working a hardship on
Mrs. Rogan.
May we respectfully call to your attention the fact that it has been traditional
in the Carlouel Subdivision to set back all houses, both on the bay front and on
t,he gulf front, twenty feet from the seawall on the waters side. This being tba
case most of the homes along Eldorado, and many of them on Bay Esplanade, extend
quite near to the street. Some of them right up to the sidewalk line. Mrs.
Rogan's house would be in strict conformance with other houses in the neighborhood.
She purchased her lot from her neighbor to the immediate north and her neighbors .
to the south are close friends to the family.

The Mayor called the meeting to order and asked if there w•ere any corrections
to the minutes af the meetings of May 2nd and Map 9th. Cowmissioner Russell move�d
that the minutes �f the regular meeting of May 2nd, 1955, and the special meeting
of May 9th, 1955, be approved in accordance with copies furnished each member in
writing subject to a correcteci motion of the minutes regarding the appointmQnt
of the City Clerk. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried

by the City �ommission and that the City Commission directed the City Manager to
institute approp•riate appointive documents ta the Civil Service Board. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carr3ed unanimously.
The CitS> Manaoer called attention to the fact that the motion in the meeting
of May 2nd which accepted the plat of Sirmons Heights First Addition did not
include accepting the recommendation of the Zoning Board that the subdivision be
zoned R-1. Cor�issioner Kennedy moved that supplementing the CommissionTs
acceptan�e of the plat of Sirmons Heights First Addition that the Zoning Boardts
recommendation of restrictioris of R�1 on the plat be approved and t hat it �e placed
on the Zoning Map. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannor� and carried

The City Attorne;r requested that a motion be made that all of th.ese subdivi-
sions that have been approJed and brought into the Qity that.,have not vet been
placed on the Zoning r�Sap be p3.aced on the Zoning Map. Commissioner Kennedy
suggested that at migh� be expedient to have the Engi.neering Department make
a seaxch for any of those plats that have been accepted and bring in a scheduZed
list of each one of them and have the motion made a� that time, Commissioner
Strang moved th�t the City Attorney prepare a proper Resol�ztion for these plats

The Mayor remarked that the bids were too smaZl for the Commission to consider
and recommended that the bids be rejected and the checks returned. Gommissioner
Russell moved that the bids be rejec�sd and the checics returned i'or the reason
that the price is not what the City Commission �hinks the propertp is worthe
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The �Iayor
recommer,ded that the property be placed on the market and that the Co�ission
entertain offers and bids £ro�n real estare men on it. Mr. Fsank Muscarella
suggested tha� the building be appraised and then placed on the market.

Commissioner Strang moved that the bids be referred to the City Manager fo;r
tabulation and report back to the next regul.ar meetingo Motion w as seconded by
Commissioner Russell and c�rried unanimousYp.
The Mapor announ�ed a Public Hearing on the request of Dr. :t. H. Center and
others for Business usage of iot s 23, 24, 25, B1ock B, Hibiscus Gardens, an area
present'ly zoned R-2. The City Attorney read the request from Mr. Ralph Richards
on behalf oi Dr, Center and a group of inen who are organizing the Clearwater
Federal Savings and Loan Association and would like �o locate it on this site
adjacent to Cleveland Plaza Shopping Genter. He also read the Zoning Boardts
recommendation that the request be grantad since the �djoining prap�ty to the
north contains a filling station, and the adjoining property to the wes� is
occupisd 1by the shopping center. The Zoning Board felt Y,hat use of the property
for a b�.nk would not be detrimental to residential property to the east and south
of these lots. A petition was ,presentPd signed by seven adjacent property owners
protesting the granting of the request. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Houchard, owners of
adjoining property on the east, objected that the chaage to business usage would
lower the value of their propertg. Mr. Ra1pY. Richards addressed the Commission
stating that this group of inen wouZd provide a needed service by bringing a new
facility to serTe the eastern secti�s� of the City. Dr. Center spoke to the
Commission pointing out that Lincoln Avenue was developing as a business area
and in the future there would probably be business on t�oth sides of Lincoln irom
Cleveland to Court Street. �he Mayor commented that ii the City Commission 3enied
the request for use of the propzrty for the bank building, the patitioners could
appeal the matter in Circuit Covrt, and it was possible that the Courtts decision
wo uld make the prnperty available for any business p:arpose, not just limi�ed to
a bank buildir�, Since the Zoning Board recoromends that the Commission approve
Lats 23, 21�, 25, Block B, Hibiscus Gardens, for use as a bank building by the
Clea.rwater Federal Savings & Loan for the reason that it fits the hardship pro-
vision of the Zoning Law, Cormnissioner Russsll moved that the City Commission go
along with the Zoning Boar d in recommending the approva]..for this usage. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carriesi unaniniousl4.
A Public Fiearing was called by tne Mayor on the request of Dr. W. 0. Van Bsunt
for Business usage of property described as the north 15 feet of th�e West 96.75
feet of the East 193.5 feet oi Lot 10 and the South 65 £eet of the West 95.75 £eet
of the East 193.5'feet of Lot 1, Fadgetts Estates Subdivision. Tha City Atta„ney
read the request �om Mr, J. T. McMullen, attorn�y, whiah explained that Dr.
Van Brunt wished to uss the property for a dental clinic. He also read the
Zoning Boardis reconunendation that the request be granted because the proper�y
to the west is zoned Business� A letter was read from Mr. Ber� Krentzman, attorney,
written on behalf of Mr. Glifford Snedeker, Mr, Ben Sutton and ��irs. Margaret
Shannon, affected proyertp owners, which stated that his clients had no objection
to a dental clinic being built on the property but would object to other business
usage. The P�ayor asked if there were any othe� objections and there were none.
Commissioner Strang inquired if provi.sion had been made in the setback of the
proposed building for the futur� widening o� Missouri Aoenue and Dr. Van Brunt
s�ated that he planned to have a setback of fifteen feet from the front property
line. After having held this Public Hearing on the request of Dr, Vr'. 0. Van Brunt
for exception to the Zoning Law for his property ciescri,bed as part of Lo� 1 and
part of I,ot 10, Padgetts Estates Subdivision. Commissioner Strang moved according
to the Zoning Board recommendation that �his property be approved for use of a
dental clinic. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon an3 carried
unanimously.
The i�layor announced a Public Hearing on the request oi Mr. Paul F. Randolph
for a fiiteen foot setback line from Bap Esplanade and an eight foot setback line
from Palmer Road for Lot l, Block 2%i, Carlouel Subdivision. The City Attornep
read the request from Mr. Randolph representing Mrs. Roger Rogan who plans to
build a Ytome on the lot in question and was requesting the change in setbacks
under the hardship provision of the Zoning Law. The Mayor inquired if there were
objections from anyone in the audi�nce and there were none. Having held this
Public Heari.ng, Commissioner Russell moved that the request of Mrs. Roger Rogan
for a fif�een foot setback line fxom Bay Esplanade and an eight foot setback line
from Palmer Road for Lot l, Block 271, Carlouel 5ubdivision, be granted in
aceordance with the Zoning Board's recommendatiora. Motion was secondecl. by
Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously.
As requested by the Commission, the Gity Engineer aaid that he had investi-
gated the possibilitp of installin,� a sump pump for the storm sewer r.unning £rom
the corner of San Mar�co and Ma,ndalay Boulevard to th� Gulf and founci that ir. order
to run a sump pump that would discharge aIl of the water from the s�orm sewer
system, a 40 HP motor and pump would be needed �n d the cos•t would be approximately
�16,000.00 and that a jet pump could be installed which would jet out the sand from
the existing storm sevaer, said installation wou ld require a 5 HP mot�r ,and the
aost would be approximately $�1600.00. Hawever, the City Engine er thought that
extending the pipe further inta the Gulf at a cost of �y�.0U.00 �,ou1d also accomplish
the purpose. After discussion, the Commission agreed to inspect the site of the
storm sewer before making a deaision.

abatement of the Boulevard Heights sanitary sawer assessment; stated that the
Committee had requested the City Engineer to draw up a comparative schedule of
the assessed cost an the basis of the number of square feet in the lots instead
of a front footage b�sis, and it developed some minor differences but not enough
to change the assessment as it has been spread and published. Therefore, the
Committee recommended that the assessment as made staad and no change be made in
the asssssments of the several people that have made protests -- Mr. A. H. Smith,
Mr. John Parker, Mr. E�ward E, Kimball and Mr. B, D: Shorter. Gommissioners
Strang and Bohannon requested permi$sion to refrain from voting. Commissioner

section of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and Route 19 and a similar sign to be erected
200 feet south of the same intersection at an estimated cost of ��2,500.00 for
eac2a. I�x, Paul Ficht, Secretary of the Cha�ber of Commerce, addressed the
Commission explaining that the Chamber of Commerce wou ld like to secure appr�val
from the State Road Department to erect the signs over Route 19. Mr. Ficht
mentioned that Nir. Al Rogero, State Road Board member, had informed him that
plans were nearly comglete for installing a cloverleaf type of crossing with �
underpass at this intersection. Mr. Ficht said if the Road Depar�ment was ready
to begin construction in the near future the Chamb er of Commerce would not
recommend the expenditure for the signs as they would not fit the cloverleaf
design. The Ma,yor su�gested approving the signs in grinciple now and at budget
time the matter could be considered for inclusion in the Chamber of Commerce
budget if they w��sh to go ahead with it at that time. Commissioner Strang noved
that an the req�:�esL of the Chamber of Commerce for the overhead sign at the
intersection of Route 19 and Gul£-to-Bay Boulevard th at this n�atter be approved
in principle and that the necessary officials cooperate in getting the approval.
of the Stata Road Aepartment for these signs and by budget time if the lay-aut
of the cloverleaf or whatever they are going to put out there is definite, then
the amount be put in their budget for the signsfor next pear. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The Mayor suggested that Mr.
Ficht�together with the Chamber of Commerce get behind a move to have mare of
the State Road Department's directional signs put up to tell. how far it is to
C le arwat er.

portion of the plat of Maryraon� Subdivision occupied by the City Airport and
other City property -- Blocks 1-19, inclusive, be vacated inasmuch as the plat
st�ill shows streets, etc., in that area. The Citp Attorney said it Nould be

Wlearwater 'Loning Board
Clearwater, Florida
Doar Mr. Anderson:
I represent a�roup of inen who have recently received permission ta
organize a new fedsral savings and loan association in Clearwater, Florida.
We wou1�1 like to locate this association adjacent to Cleveiand Plaza. Tn this
connection we are negotiating for use of the following property:
�tis 23, 24 and 25, �lock TMBTM, Hibiscus Gardens
The lots in Block t��fl are 20 foot uni�s, so the t hree units comprise a lot
60 feet by i00 feet at the northeast cornes of Lincoln and Park. This lot is
immediately across the street from the Cleveland Pla2a Shopping Center.
We would like to p�ace our savings and loan bank building on this lot.
We feel that this would be an ideal location for a savings and loar� assoc3.ation,
and that an operation of this kind would not be objectionable in a residentiaZ
area. Furthermore, we feel that the erec^,ion of tk�e Cleveland Plaza S�opping
Center makes it inevitable that the property across the street from it will
eventuall}r be used for business purpnse_, as it would hardly be �esirable to
erect a residence directiv across the street irom a shopping center of this
kind .
It is my understanding that the Zoning Board has permission to allow non-
conforming uss of individual pieces of property where the conditic�ns juati£y
such use. I respectfully request that��re be gra.nted permission ta locate this
building on the above described prnpertg.
Very trulp yours,

f�r �he use of the Ban.k Buil�tng by the Clearwater Federal Savings and Loan,
for tn� re�son that it fits the harriship provisions of tl�e Zoning Law, because
the pro��erty adjoining to the north is a filling station, adjoining to the west
xs a Shooping Center ancl that the u�e as a Savix�gs and.Loan Bank would not be
undizly detrimental to residential use of the properties lying easterly and
soatherly o£ these �hree lots.

of this property is R�t; - mtiltigle dwellings.
It is Dr, Van Bruntss present intention to improve this property by the
erection of a building for use as a Dental Clinic. I raalize that this raisas
a question of whether this is a permissive use under existing zoning. Both
Dr, Van Brunt and T�hought it well to submit the matter to the Zoning Board for
a ruling before praceeding further with plar.s for Lhis type of develdpment.
It is noted that Section ITI of the present Zoning Ordinance, in which the
various use districts are de�ined, that "medical clinic” is included in the R-4
classification.
It is also noted that the mora detailed definition included in Section v-A,
inGludes hospitals. It occnrs to us that the operation of a Dental Clinic would
be certainlg* within the spirit, if not the letter, of thesa provisions.
I am also under the impr ession th at the City Commission approved a recommenda-
tion of your Board parmitting the erection of a Dental Clinic on the side of
Missouri Avenue approximately one block South of the location herein involved.
It wi11 be greatly appreciated if you would suhmit this matter to the next
meeting of the Zoning Boarcl, Any additional infermation or further assistance
I can give you, will be 3mmediately available upon request.

Dear Sxr:
I am writing on bena�f of Mr. Clifiord Snedeker, Mr, Ben Sutton and Mrs.
Margaret Shannon in c•�nnection with the public hearing schedul�d for Monday,
May 16, 1955 at 1:30 P.M. upon the request of Dr. ZV. 0. Van Brunt for an
exception under the Zoning Law relating �o the follow•::;�g described property:
The North 1S feet of the West 96.%5 feet of the East 193.5 feet
oi Lot 1Q, and the South 65 feet of the West 96.75 feet of the �ast
193.5 feet of Lot l, PADGETTS ESTATES SUBDIVISION. This property is
located on the east side of Missauri Avenue appx•oximately 145 feet
south of Drew Street in an area presentlp zoned R-�..
My clients own property adjacent to this praperty, They understand that
Dr. Van Brunt has requested permission to use this property as the location far
a dentist ofiice, and they have no objection to this.
The notice in connection with the public hearing indicates that consideration
will be given as to whether �aid property can be used for t�business usage".
Without knowing the exact use, other than for a dentist office, a�y clients do
object to general approval to use for business purposes. -
It is their opinion that ths au�hority of the Citp Couunission under 5ection
XVII of Ordinance 627, the Zoning Ordinance, is limited to the approval or
disapproval of a requestr for a siecigic use which is in va�iance with the use
prescribeei by the Zoning Act, and they would appreciate pour consideratioh of
this request on t}zat basis.
You are requested to make this letter available to the Cit y Comrazssion at
the time and place of said public hearing.
Very truly yours,

Attn: Mr. Leland Drew
Dear Mr. Drew:
Mrs. Roger Rogan, sistrer-i�-1aw of Ralph Rogan, deceased, who owns a considerable
amount af property in the Carlouel Subdieision, has maua plans to build a very
charming home on Lot 1, Block 271, Carlouel Subdivision. In clearing this
wa�ter with the Building Inspector we find t�at there is a requirement of a
setbacl� o� �5 feet from Bay Esplanade. This is definitely working a hardship on
Mrs. Rogan.
May we re,spectfully ca.Il to your atitention the fact that it has been traditional
in the Ca•rlou.el S�bdivision �o set back alI hous�s, both on the bayfront and on
tYse gulf frona, twenty feet from the seawall pn the waters side. This bEing �he
case most of the homes along ETdorado, and manS= of t hem on Bay Esplanade, extend
quite near to the street. Some of them rig�t up to ths sidewa7.k line. Mrs.
Rogan's house would be in strict conformance with other houses in the neighborhood.
She p�m chased her lot from her neighbor to the immediate north and her neighbors
to the south are close fi�iends to the family.

We would very much appreciate your ruling to permit her to proceed with construc-

developer for the original owners of C�.rlouel Subdivision and Mandalay point and
knows their feelings in the ma�ber from the beginning until nav�.
