COlillnissioner Strang moved the bid be referred to the Manager for study and brou~ht
back to the next meeting. Motion was seconded by Corr;missioner Bohannon. Upon the
vote being taken, Cor~issioners Strang, Bohannon and Brown voted "Aye". Motion
carried.
Commissioner Russell came in at this time -- 2:00 P.M.
In regard to the bids for replacing the sanitary sewer in Myrtle Avenue from
Drew Street to Maple ~treet, the City Manager recommended accepting the low bid of
$16,875.00 from Stansfield Construction ComFany. Upon the recommendation of the City
Manager, Commissioner Strang moved t.hat Stansfield Construction Company of Tampa,
Florida, be awarded the work for the san~tary sewer in Myrtle Avenue from Drew
Street to Maple Street in the amount of $16,875.00. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
After tabulation of the bids to air condition the Sea-Orama, the City Hall
Auditorium, the Chamber of Commerce room at the Marina, and the Engineering
Department, the City Manager reported that the apparent low bidder, Y-B Refrigera-
tion Company, had based its bid for air conditioning the Chamber of Commerce room
on a twelve and one half ton unit at $3,894.00, but after consulting various
engineering firms not connected with the bidding, the Manager stated it was felt
that a fifteen ton unit was needed for that space. He said that Y-B Refrigeration
had been contacted regarding that item and agreed to supply the 15 ton unit for
$385.00 more, which would still make their firm the low bidder at a total cost of
$10,270.00; therefore, he recommended accepting the bid of Y-B Refrigeration.
Corrmissioner Strang commented that he had requested that a list be compiled showing
how many times during June and July the Chamber of Commerce space at the Marina was
to be used, and u~on receivin~ the list found that the room was being used nearly
every niBht or day during that period; therefore, he thought the air conditioning
was necessary. He agreed wit.h the Manager in recommending the installation of the
15 tor. unit in the Chamber of Con~erce room. Commissioner Russell moved that Y-B
Refrigeration Company of Clearwater be given the bid for the air conditioning of
the Sea-Crama, the City Hall Auditorium, the Chamber of Commerce Room in the
Marina Building (to include a 15 ton unit for this room) and two 1 ton window type
air conditioning units as per City specifications for the sum of $10,270.00, this
being the best and lowest bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and
carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced the continuation of the Public Hearing on the request of
Harold Paul Fox to use Lot 15, Block 84, Mandalay Unit 5, presently zoned R-M, as
a parking lot in conjunction with a proposed motel project. Commissioner Strang
requested that the record show that he did not participate in the Public Hearing
since it concerned one of his clients. The Mayor explained that the matter had
been re~erred back to the Zoning Board for an interpretation of the word
"abutting" as concerned Lot 15 in Block 84, in relation to the other lots owned
by Mr. Fox on which he proposes to build the motel -- Lots 3, 4, 9, 10 and 13,
Block 82, Mandalay Unit 5. The City Attorney read the report from the Zoning
Board which was that the question as to whether or not the parking area abuts the
property primarily used is immaterial in areas zoned R-4 and R-M. Mrs. Fred Reitz,
an affected property owner, objected to the granting o~ the request on the basis
that a parking lot on the lot dia~onally across the street from Mr. Fox's property
would not be abutting, but if the request was granted, she asked that the lot be
paved. In reply to a question from Commissioner Russell, the City Attorney said
it was his opinion that Paragraph 9 of Section V-A of the Zoning Ordinance con-
templated lots directly abutting the property concerned, but in other cases the
COlrmission had taken the position that since private property did not intervene
but only the street or an alley lay between two pieces of property owned by the
same person that they could be considered abutting. Having held this continuation
of a Public Hearing on the request of Harold Paul Fox to use Lot 15, Block 84,
Mandalay Unit 5, as a parking lot in conjunction with a proposed motel project,
Commissioner Russell moved this request be denied according to Paragraph 9 (of
Section V-A) and Paragraph 4 (of Section V-B) of the Zoning Law pertaining to
parking lots. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon. Upon the vote being
taken, Commissioners Russell, Bohannon and Brown voted "Aye". Motion carried.
Commissioner Strang did not vote.
Later in the meeting, Commissioner Bohannon asked if it would be possible to
reconsider the action taken on the zoning request of Mr. Harold Paul Fox. The
Mayor replied that it would be necessary to call another Public Hearing as the
interested parties had le~t the meeting. COlmnissioner Bohannon, joined by Commissioner
Russell, requested that another hearing be held if requested by Mr. Fox's attorney --
Mr. Ray Ulmer.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
June 6, 1955
The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the request of Mr. Jerry G. Kastner
for R-M usage of Lot 11, Columbia Subdivision #5, ~hich is presently zoned R-4, in
order to build a coffee shop in connection with a motel. The City Attorney read the
request from Mr. J. Tweed McMullen on behalf of Mr. Kastner. He also read the
Zoning Board's recommendation that the request be granted; however, the Zoning
Board felt that off-street parking should be completely within the property line
and not on public right-of-way. Mr. H. W. Green and other affected property
owners protested the grantin~ of the request on the basis that R-M zonin~ would
open the area to other types of businesses. Upon request, the City Attorney read
parts of the ~oning Ordinance relating to uses permitted under R-4 and R-M zoning.
After some discussion, the Mayor stated that thorou%h study of the Zonin~ Ordinance
relating to the R-4 and R-M zones indic~ted that it was not necessary to have a
change to R-M zoning in order to have a coffee shop in connection with the motel
as it was permitted under R-4 zonin~ so lon~ as the coffee shop was enclosed under
the same roof as the motel. Mr. Robert Wilson, al~torney, appearing on behalf of
Mr. Kastner, requested the Commission to take some action shO\'ling approval of the
re'1uest for the coffee shop. The Mayor commented that it would be possible to
grant the request as a permissive use under R-M zoning for the corree shop only,
and if it was desired to install another business later, it would be necessary
to make another request for other business uses. In answer to an inquiry as to
whether liquor could be served, the Mayor pointed out that the area was zoned
against liquor. Commissioner Hussell su~~ested that the Zoning Board's recommenda-
tion that off street parking be provided on the property be included in the motion.
Commissioner Bohannon moved that in accordance with the action of the Zoning Board
that the request for R-M usage of Lot 11, as described in the application, be
granted under R-M zoning for use as a coffee shop only. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.

new building in a tract in Section 13-29-15, the City Manager reported that the
site was located on the southeast corner of Hercules and Turner Street east o~
the new high school. The City Attorney stated that it was his opinion that a
church is permitted in an R-l zone. COHuuissioner Strang moved that the request
of the Church of Christ for permission to build a church in an R-l zone be approved
according to the Attorney's interpretation that a church can be built in any zone.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kennedy came in at this tilne -- 4:15 P.M.
The Mayor announced the reconsideration of the request of J. W. Lester, Jr.,
Ida Mae Lester and R. M. ThorrlJ:son Construction Company to permit "M" (Manuracturing)
usage of Lots 11, 12, 13 and 14, Block 4, Milton Park Subdivision, presently zoned
R-4. After some discussion, it was determined that since the matter had not been
advertised as a Public Hearing, the Corr~ission could not act on it. Mr. E. B.
Casler, attorney for the petitioners, requested that the matter be advertised
for the next meeting and be placed on the agenda early in the meeting.
Commissioner Strang moved that a Public Hearing be called to reconsider the
request of J. W. Lester, Jr., Ida Mae Lester and R. M. Thompson Construction
Company on June 20th. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimous I}? .
Cownissioner Russell left the meetin~ at 4:20 P.M.
The City Attorney presented a re0uest from Mr. Frank Nufrio to replat Lots
19 and 20, Rogers Subdivision, into three fifty root lots faCing on Greenwood
Avenue. It was pointed out that these lots were located in an R-4 zone. The
City Attorney read the report from the Zoning Board that the request be approved.
The City Engineer also approved the request to replat. Commissioner Bohannon
moved that the request De granted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang
and carried unanimously.
The City Manager presented a tentative plat o~ Hollingsworth Estates located
west of Keene Road between Turner Street and Druid Road. The City Attorney read
the ~oning Board's report which was that the informal plat submitted be zoned ~-l
providing a detailed plat prepared by a resistered engineer be submitted to the
Zoning Board. The City Engineer approved the plat with the ~ollowing exceptions:
1. The County Engineer's office is trying to obtain a 100 foot right-of-way
~or Druid Road ror future road expansion.
2. The section to be immediately developed will be acceptable for septic
tanks; ho~ever, the area adjacent to Brookside Subdivision may need
sanitary sewers.
3. Keene Road is co-terminus but the other streets as platted are not
co-terminus with existing streets.
Corrmissioner Strang moved that the plat for Hollingsworth Estates be tentatively
approved, and when the right-of-way for Druid Road becomes 50 feet from the center
line of Druid Road and the lots are all in accord with the City's requirements,
that the proper o~ficials be authorized to execute the plat and sign the contracts;
that it be zoned R-l and that it be placed on the Zoning Map; further, on the
Manager's recommendation that the Commission approves the right-of-way for Florida
Avenue at 50 feet since it is a dead end street. Motion ~as seconded by
Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.

CITY COi'-lMISSION MEETING
June 6, 1955
The City Manager presented a Resolution requiring thirty-nine property owners
to clean their lots of ~eed6 and underbrush. Commissioner Strang moved that the
Resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimously.
A letter was read from Mr. Ray E. Ulmer, attorney, written on behalf of
Mr. V. A. Tagarelli ~ho o~ns Lots 7, a, 13 and 14, Block 4, Tagarelli's Subdivision.
The letter explained that there is an open drainage ditch in the right-of-way
for Hillcrest Drive which runs in front of Lots 7, g and 14 and prevents access
to the street. The letter requested that drainage pipes be installed at the
City's expense or as an alternate, proposed that the owner would pay the cost of
the pipe and the installation in return for an abatement of City taxes for two
years, 1956 and 1957. The City Attorney stated that such an abatement was not
possible as it would be illegal. Commissioner Strang remarked that in some cases
the City had been settin~ the pipe i~ the owner furnished the pipe. The City
Engineer recommended that a twelve inch pipe be installed and said considerable
fill ~ould b9 needed as this was a four foot ditch. Commissioner Strang
suggested that the City supp+y the fill since the ditch is in the street
right-oi-way and set the pipe if Mr. Tagarelli would pay the cost o~ the pipe.
By consent, the Commission agreed to this procedure and the City Manager was so
instructed to proceed on this basis.
The City ~anager recommended that 560 feet of six inch water main be
installed on Gardenia Street to replace a steel pipe ~hich had rusted out at an
estimated cost of $2,100.00. Commissioner Strang moved the work order in the
amount of $2,100.00 be approved to replace a six inch water line on Gardenia.
Motion ~as seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. B. J. Nuce who holds the lease for
part of: Lot 5, City Park Subdivision, on which t he Park Inn is located. The letter
requested the Commission to approve the assignment of the lease to Mr. Frank J.
Busch. Commissioner Bohannon moved that the Co~nission approve the transfer of
the lease to Mr. Frank J. Busch subject to the City Manager's approval. Motion
'Was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
COlmnissioner Bohannon inquired if the report was ready estimating the cost
of clearing, surfacing and installing parking meters in the City parking lot on
the south side of Pierce Street. The City Manager stated that he and the Chief
of Police had worked out a report on the parking meter situation for Clearwater
that he would like to present to the Commission at an executive session.
Commissioner Bohannon a sked what progress was being ma.de to'Ward getting the
streets paved in the Greenwood Apartment area. The City Manager informed him
that it would be necessary for the Federal Government to approve the plans and
specifications for the work before it can be started.
Co!nmissioner Strang reported that progress ~as being made in locating a
si te for operat ion of the model airplanes and that two sites were bei ng studied
at the present time.
The Commission now adjourned as the City CommiSSion and acting as Trusteea
of the Pension Fund admitted Walter Dudley and Otis Barber, laborers in the
Public Service DeFartment, to membership in the Pension Plan on a motion by
Commissioner Strang which was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimously. The application of Walter E. Bagwell, laborer in the Public Service
Department, for membership in the Pension Plan was deferred for ~urther
co nsiderat ion.
There being no further business to come before the Conmission, the meeting
was adjourned at 5:50 P.M.

May 24, 1955
Mr. Francis Middleton
City Manager
City Hall
Clear~ater, Florida
Dear Mr. Middleton:
Fol1owine your request by telephone Wednesday, May 18, the Industrial Committee
or the Chamber of Commerce investigated the requests of two parties desiring to
procure municipally owned airport property.
The Committee heard Mr. Harold Hackney of the Sunset Sheet Metal Shop, which is
now situated on Sunset Point Dirve, and also heard the case of Ellis and Ford
Manufacturing Company of Ferndale, Michigan. It developed at the hearing that
both the firms were o~ approxiI~te1y equal size and had approximately equal
potentialities in the way of payrolls, etc. It also appeared that each firm would
be investing about the same amount of money in their plant operation.
As the firm of Ellis and Ford, who manulactures waterworks supplies, is not now
situated in the area and as the Sunset Sheet Metal Shop is already in operation
in the a rea but desiring only to relocate, the Committee determined to recommend
to the City that the firm of Ellis and Ford be given priority on the purchase or
the land in question and that every consideration be given to the Sunset Sheet
Metal Shop in finding a suitable location in the same area. For this purpose
a smaller committee from the lull committee has been appointed to aid in finding
the above-mentioned location. This committee is to report back its findings
Thursday, May 26.
This office has notified the lirm of Ellis and Ford of its decision and has
suggested that immediate negotiations should be started with the City for acquisi-
tion of the land under consideration. It was pointed out that the original
dimension of 133 feet on Hercules Avenue should be cut to 100 feet in order to
permit an access road for the property directly west of the site under considera-
tion.
It is the Committee's sincere hope that the Commission will expedite the handling
of this matter in order to avoid any slip-up in landing the Ellis and Ford plant.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Paul H. Ficht
Manager-Secretary

We hereby make application to you lor an additional appropriation of live
hundred dollars (~500.00) to cover outstanding bills incurred for the FUN 'N SUN
CELEBRATION, of which $425.93 is the balance needed to meet the guarantee which
had to be made on the Bleacher seats erected on the parade route.
The provision of bleacher seats this year was an experiment_ and based on
the experience of other West Coast festivals, it was thought it would be a
pro~itab1e venture. Since it was such a ~ailure financially_ it will not be
undertaken again.
After all bills are settled and our books are closed for the season, our
accoants will be submitted to the City Finance Department for a complete detailed
audit as was done last year.

Secretary ~oning Board
City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am writing you at the request of Mr. Jerry G. Kastner who has recently
purchased the Hamden Arms Apartment located on the following described property
on Clearwater Beach:
Tract 1: Lots 9, 10 and 11 of COLUMBIA, No.5, as recorded in Plat Book
31, page 16, of the public records of Pine1las County, Florida.
Tract 2: Begin at SE corner of Lot 11 of Columbia Subdivision, No.5.
as recorded in Plat Book 31, page 16, of the public records of Pinellas
County, ~lorida; and run thence South 54 degrees 25' 30" East, 65.18
feet; thence North 12 degrees 34' 30" East, 217.27 feet; thence North
54 degrees 25' )0" West, 65.18 feet to the easterly line of Lot 9 of
said Plat; thence South 12 degrees 34' 30" West, 217.27 feet to point
of beginning.
Mr. Kastner has now formulated plans to enlarge this operation to include
Fifty rental units, a swinlrning pool and a coffee shop. This will involve an event-
ual investment of a quarter of' a million dollars.
Lots 9 and 10 and 11 above described are presently zoned R-4. We are advised
that the tract described by metes and bounds either has been or will be zoned R-M.
Mr. Kastner respectfully requests that Lot 11 be re-zoned from R-4 to R-M.
You will note from the sketch that is attached to this application that Mr. Kastner
proposes to locate the restaurant on a portion of Lot 11. Although the coffee
shop 'Would be designed primarily to accomodate guests of the motel, it is believed
that it would be a distinct advantage to all concerned to have it available for
the benefit of the guests of other motels and hotels in the area. You 'Will recall
that there are no dining facilities South of the Coronado Hotel.
It is not believed that the operation of a coffee shop at this location would
be obnoxious or objectionable in the least to other property owners in the area.
Your attention is invited to the fact that the owners and developers of the
property located South and East of that above described contemplate having it all
zoned R-M. The property presently located on the Southeast corner of Gulf
Boulevard and Hamden Drive is presently zoned R-M.
Your consideration of this application will be appreci.ated. Any additional
information will be furnished promptly upon request.
Res~ectfully submitted,

Hon. Herbe~ M. Brown, Mayor, and
Members of the City Commission of
the City of Clearwater, Florida.
Gentlemen:
June 4, 1955
I represent V. A. Tagarelli and Maria G. Tagarelli, his wife, who own
Lots 7,8,13 & 14 all in Block 4 of TAGARELLI'S SUBDIVISION in Clearwater, Florida.
As you gentlemen probably know Mr. Tagarel1i is in the process of completing
~our duplexes or one duplex on each of the above described four lots.
Such improvements on Lots 7, 8 and 14 border upon Hillcrest Drive and as some
of you probably know there is a bad condition which exists between said lots and
said street namely; there is an open ditch commencing on street property just east
of Lot 7 and running southerly along lots 7,8 and 14 and then turning southward
on Frank1in Street where such ditch connects up with a storm sewer on Franklin
Street.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING

(Continued)
The water which runs through such open ditch in front of the above described
property comes from seepage froln the property east of such road and none from the
Tagarelli property itself.
The g units are almost completed and ready for occupancy and in order to get
into such property something must be done with the existing open ditch along the
street in front of such lots.
If you gentlemen are not acquainted with this particular matter an inspection
will show tho condition and will also show that the improvements on subject
property will be a great advantage to the city if for no other reason than benefits
from taxes.
My clients are very desirous of having the city take immediate action to
place along the ditch proper drainage pipes to care for the overflow of water,
not only to close up the open ditch and care for the water problem but also in
order that my client and their tenants will have easy access to the improved
property. It is therefore requested that immediate action be taken with respect
to this at the expense of the city if that is possible and if not my clients are
willing to proceed immediately with the correction of this matter along such lines
providing that subject property, insofar as city taxes are concerned, will be
assessed and city taxes collected thereon on the basis of same being unimproved,
for two tax y~ars, namely for the year 1956 and 1957.
It is sincerely hoped that some affirmative action will be taken by you
gentlemen without delay to alleviate this existing condition.
I will be unable to appear in person on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Tagarelli
with regard to this matter due to my physical condition but Mr. Tagarelli will
appear and will be pleased to go into this matter with you gentlemen and answer
any questions which may arise with respect to this matter.
Sincerely yours,

tion Company, had based its bid for air cdnditioning Lhe Chamber of Commerae room
on a twelvs and one half ton unit at �3,$94.00= but after cons�xlting various
engineering firms not connected with the bidding, the Manager stated it was fel�
that a fifteen ton unit was needed for that space. He said that Y-B Refrigeration
had been con�acted regarding that item and agreed to supply the 15 ton unit for
�3$5.00 mor�, which would still make their firm the low bidder at a total cost of
1C1,270.00; there£ore, he recommended acceptin� ths bid of Y-B Refri.geration.
Commi.ssioner Strang commented that he had requested that a list be compiled showing
how ma�iy t imes during June and July the Chamber of Commerce space at the Marina was
to be used, and u�on receiving the list found that the r oom was being used nearly
every night or day during that period; therefore, he thought the air cor.ditioning
was necessary. He agreed with the Manager in recommending the installation of the
15 ton unit in the Chamber o£ Ccrr.merce room. Commissioner Russell moved that Y-B
Refrigeration Company of Clearwater be given the bid for the air conditionin; o?

a parking lot in conjunction with a proposed �notel project. Commissionez• Strang
requested that the record show that he did not participate in the Public He�ring �
s�nce it concerned one of his cl.ients. The Mayor explained that the matter had 4l
been referred back to the Znning Board for an intergretati�n of the word a`
"abutting" as concerned Lot 15 in Block $4, in relation to the other lots owr_ed ��
by Mr. Fox on which he proposes to build i:he motel -- Lo�s 3, !�, 9, 10 and 13, �`
Block $2, iKandalap Ur_it 5. The City P.ttorney read the report from the Zoning �
Board which tiaas that the question as to wYiether or not the parking area abuts the
property przmarily usad is iramaterial in areas zoned R-!� and R-M. ivirs. Fred Reitz,
an affected propertp owmer, objected to the grani:in; of the request on the basis
that a parking lot en the lat diagona7.ly across the street from Mr. Fox'� property
would not be abutting, but if the request was granted, she aslced that the lot be
paved, In reply to a question from Commissioner Russpll, the City Attorney said
it was his opinion that Paragraph 9 of Secti�n V-A of the Zoning Ordinance con- � �
templated lots directly abuttin,� the property concerned, but in other ca.ses the
Co�nission had taken the Fosition that s ince private property did not intervene .
but only the street or an alley lay between two pieces of property owned by the �
same person that they could be considered abutting. Having held thi3 continuation �
of a Public Hearing on the request oP Harold Pau1 Fox_ to use Lot 15, Block $4.,
tiiandalay Unit 5, as a parking lot in conjuncticn with a proposed motel project,
Gommissioner Russell tno�,red this request be denied according to Paragraph 9(of
Section V-A) and Para�raph t� (of Section V-B) of the Zoning Law pertaining to
parking Iots. I�ioLion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon. Upon the vote being

The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the request of Mr, Jerry G. Kastner
for R-M usage of Lot 11, Columbia Subdivision �5, which is presently zoned R-t�, in
order to build a coffee shop in connection with a motel. The Gity Attorney read the
request From Mr. J. Tweed A4cMu],len on behalf of Mr. Kastner, He also read the
Zoning Board's recommendation that the request be granted; ho�ever, the Zoning
Baard i'elt that off-strset parking should be aompletely within the property line
and not on public right-of-yvay. Mr, H. W. Green and other affected property
owners protested the granting of the request on the basis that R 1'4 zoning would
open the area to other types of busin�sses. Upnn request, the City Attorney read
parts of the zoning Orainance relating to uses permitted under R-4 and R-M zoning.
After some discussion, the Mayor stated that thorou�h study of the Zonin� Ordinance
relatir� to the R-�: and R-M zones indic�ted that it was not necessary to have a
change Go R-M zoning in order to have a coffee shop in connection with the motel
as it was permitted under R-4 zoning ao �on,� as the coffee shop was enclosed und2r
the same roof as the motel. Mr, Robert Vdi�son, a�torney, appearing on behalf of
Mr. Kastner, requested the Commission to take some action showing approval of the
re�uest for the coffee shop. The Mayor commented that it would bE possible to
grant the request as a permissiJe use under R-M zoning for the coffee shop only,
and if it was desired to install another business later, it would be necessary
to make another request for other business uses. In answer to an iriquiry as to
whather iz;uor could be servsd, the P4ayor pointed out that the area was zoned
against liquor. Commi�sioner Russell su�gested that �he Zoning Boardts recommenda-
tion that off street parking he provided on the property be included in the motion.
Commissioner Bohannon moved that in accordance with the action of the Zoning Board
that the r equest for R-M usage of Lo� ll, as described in the application, be

Clearwater, FZqrida
IIear i�ir. Midd"letan:
Foliowing your request by telephone �ti'ednesday, May 1$, the Industrial Committee
of the Chamber of Commerce investigated the requests of two parties desiring to
procure municipally owned airport property.
The Committee heard Mr. Harold Hackney of the Sunset Sheet Metal Shop, which is
now situated on Sunset P�int Dirve, and also heard the case of Ellis and Ford
Nlanufacturing Company oi Ferndale, Michigan. It developed at the hearing that
both the firms were oi approximately equal size and had approximately equal
potentialities in the way of payro]ls, etc. It also appeared that each firm would
be investing about the same amot�nt of money ii� their plant operation.
As the firm of Ellis and Ford, who manufactures waterworks supplies, is not now
situated in the area and as the Sunset Sheet Metal Shop is already i:: operation
in the a rea but desiring only to relocate, the Committee determined to recommend
to the City tnat the firm of Ellis and Ford be given pr.�.ority on the purchase of
the land in question and that ever y consideration be given to the Sunset Sheet
Netal Shop in f inding a suitable location in t ne s ame area. For this purpose
a. smaller committee from the full committee has been appainted to aid in finding
the above-mentioned location. This co mmittee is to regort back i�s findings
Thursday, May 26.
This office has notified the firm of Ellis and Ford of its decisifln and has
suggested that immedia�e negotiations should be started w ith the City for acqua:si-
tion. of the land under consideration. It was pointed out that the original
dimension of 133 feet on Hercules Avenue should be cut to 100 feet in order to
permit an access road for the property directly west of the site under considera-
tion.
It is the Gommittee's sincere hope tha� the Gommission will expedite the handling
of this matter in order to avoid any slip-up in landing the Ellis and Ford plant.
Sincerely yours,

had to be rnade on the Bleacher seats erected on the parade rouLe.
The provision of bleacher seats this year was an experiment, and based on
th.e experience of other West Coas� festivals, it was thought it would be a
profitable venture. 8ince it was such a failure financial?y, it �aill not be
undertaken again.
Aftsr all i�ills are settled atld our boolcs are closed for the season, our

purchased the Hamden Arms Apartment located on the followin� describsd property
on Clearwater Beach:
Tract 1: Lots 9, 10 and li of COL[JNIHIA, No. 5, as recorded in Flat Book
31, pa�e 16, of the public records of Pinellas County, Florida.
Tracb 2: Begin at SE corner of Lot ll of Columbia Subdivi.sion, RTo. 5,
as recorded in Plat Book 31, gage 16, of the public records of Pznellas
County, �''lorida; and run thence South 54. de�reas 25' 3�'T East, b5.1$
feet, thence Aorth 12 degrees 3+' 30t� East, 217,27 feet; `thence North
$1� degrees 25' 30" Aest, b$.1$ feet to the easterly line of Lot 9 of
said Plat; thence South 12 degrees 34' 30" L�Vest, 217.27 feet to point
of beginning.
Mr. Kastner has now formulated plaas to enlarge this opzration to include
Fifty rental units, a swiniming pool and a coffee shop. This will involve an event-
ual investment of a quarter of a million dollars.
Lots 9 and 10 and 11 above described are presently zoned R-4. We are advised
that the tract described by metes a�d bounds either has �een or wiTl bs zoned R-M.
Mr. Kasi;ner respectfully requests that I,ot 11 be re-zoned from R-4 to R-id.
You will note from the sketch that is attached to this application that Mr. Kastner
proposes to locate the restaurant on a portion of Lot 11. A3�though the coffee
shop would be designed �rima.rily to accomodate guests of the motel, it is believed
trat it would be a distint:t advantag� to all concerned to have it available for
the benefit of the guests ef other motels and hotels in the area. You will recall
that there are no dining facilities South of the Goronado Hotel.
It is not believed that the opera�ion Qf a coffee shop at this loca�ion would
be obnoxiotzs or Qbjectionable in the least to other property owners in the area.
Y�ur attention is invited to the fact that tne owners and developers �f the
property Yocated South and East of that above described contemplate having it all
zoned R-M. The property presently located on the Southsast corner of �ulf
Boulevard and Hamden Drive is presently zoned R M.
Xour consideration of this application will be appreciated. Any additional
information will be iurnished promptly upon request.
Res ectfully submitted,

Gentlemen:
I represent V. A. Tagarelli and Maria G. Tagarelli, his wife, who own
Lots 7,$,13 & 1�. all in Block 4 of TAGARELLITS SUBDIVISION in Clearwater, Florida.
As you gentlemen probably know Mr. Tagarelli is in the process of completing
four duplexes or one duplex on each of the a bove described four lots.
Such improvemeni;s on Lots 7: $ and 14 border upon Hillcrest Drive and as some
of you probably know there is a bad condition which exists between said lots and
said street namely; there is an open ditch commencing on street property just east
of Lot 7 and running southerly along lots 7,� and 14 and then tusning southward
on Franklin Street where such ditch connects up with a storm se�ver on Franklin
Street.

(Cantinued)
The water which runs through such open ditch in front of the above described
property comes from seepage from the property east of such road and none from the
Tagarelli property itself.
The $ units are almost completed and ready for occupancy and in order tQ get
into such property something must be done with the existing open ditch along the
street in front of such lots.
Tf you gentlemen are not acquainted with ,his particular matter an inspection
will show the condition and wi�l also show that the improvements on subject
property will be a great advantage to the city if for no other reason than benefits
from taxes.
iKy clients are very desirous of havang the city take immediate action to
place along the ditch proper drainage pipes to care for the overflow of w ater,
not only to close up the open dii:ch and care for the water problem but also in
order that my client and their tenants will have easy access to the improved
property. It is therefore requested that immediate action be taken with respect
to this at the expense of the city if that is possible and if not my clients are
willing to proceed immediately with the �orrection of this matt€�+r along such lir.es
providing �;hat subject property, insofar as city taxes are concerned, will be
assessed and city taxes collected thereon on the basis of same being unimproved,
for two tax years, namely for the year 1956 an�i 1957.
It is sincerely hoped that some affirmative action will be taken b}• you
gentlemen withori� delay to alleviate this existing condition.
I will be unable to appear in person on behalf of Mr. and I�Irs. Tagarelli
with regard to this matter due to my ph3Tsical conditinn but Mr. Tagarelli will
appear and will be �:leased to go into this matter with you gentlemen and answer
any questions which may arise � ith respect to this matter.
