for a fifteen foot setback from Wilson Boulevard for Lot 12, Block Rt Bay Terrace
Addition. The City Attorney read the request from Mr. Hein and the Zoning Board's
recommendation that the application be granted. The Mayor inquired if there were
any objections from anyone in the audience and there were none. Having held this

Lot 12, Block R, Bay Terrace Addition, be approved as per recommendation of the
Zoning Board. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The Mayor called a Public Hearing on the request of Mr. Michael Diaks for a
twenty foot setback line from Wood Drive for Lot 136, Glenwood Subdivision. The
City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Diaks and the Zoning Board's recommendation
that the request be granted. The Mayor asked if there were any objections and
there were none. After having held this Public Hearing on the request of Mr.
Michael Diaks for a twenty foot setback line from Wood Drive for Lot 136,

of the lots in Del Oro Groves. The letter indicated that Mr. Toombs was under
the impression that the zoning request concerned two entirely separated pieces
of property, the larger portion being west of Monterey Avenue and a small portion
east of Bay Shore Boulevard. He stated that he did not know what a P.E.D. Home
was but if it were some type of home used for entertainment, parties, drinking,
etc., that it would be objectionable in a residential neighborhood. Mr. Ben
Krentzman spoke to the Commission explaining the purposes of the P.E.O. Sisterhood
and pointed out that the use of the property would be for a State Home for
retired members and that it would come as close to residential use as possible.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
September 6, 1955
The City Attorney read a Resolution assessing the cost of constructing a
thirty foot pavin~ and curb in Grove Street from San Remo Avenue to Highland
Avenue against the benefited properties. The Mayor asked if there were any
objections from the audience and there were none. Commissioner Strang moved that
the Resolution be passed and adopted and the proper officials be authorized to
sign it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
A Resolution was read assessing the cost of curbing, drainage and pavement
in Union Street from Edgewater Drive to Broadway against the benefited properties.
The Mayor inquired if there were any objections and there were none. Commissioner
Strang moved that the Assessment Resolution be passed and adopted and the proper
officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the request of E. C. Chauncey for
business use (trailer park) of the south ))a feet of' their property ill the southeast
quarter of Section 13-29-15, which is presently zoned R-M. Mr. Thomas Hamilton,
attorney for Mr. Chauncey, pointed out that the Commission at the meetin~ of
August 15th had approved the trailer park for the north 330 feet of his client's
property as it was in the business zone but this portion was held over for a
Public Hearing. He explained that the property to the east and the south of his
client's property is being used as a trailer park and for storing trailers by
Mr. R. J. Hinners of Lakeside Trailer Park. The City Attorney read the application
signed by Mr. Hamilton and the Zoning Board's recommendation that the request be
granted under the hardship provision of the Zoning Ordinance. He also read a
letter from Mr. R. J. Hinners which stated that he had no objections to the
construction of a trailer park on the property. A letter was read from Mr.
James F. Ramsden, Pinellas County Health Department, which ~ave approval o~ the
application from the State Health Department and the County Health Department.
Mr. Roy Dugan, owner of Lot 14, Bamboo Subdivision, objected to the granting of
the application on the basis that it would put the proposed trailer park within
seventy feet of his residential property, and if Mr. Chauncey should acquire the
seventy foot strip in between, it would bring the trailer facilities up to his
lot line. Mr. P. W. Walker, owner of Lot 7, Bamboo Subdivision, and Mrs. Ellis L.
Good, owner of Lot 13, also objected for the same reason. During the discussion,
the Mayor pointed out that the owners of Lots 7 and 14, Bamboo Subdivision,
already have Lakeside Trailer Park abutting their property on the south. It was
the City Attorney's opinion that the matter came within the hardship provisions or
the Zoning Ordinance since the property in question was bordered on two sides by
the same usage for which the owners were applying. After having heard this duly
constituted Public Hearing and having heard no valid objection, Commissioner
Bohannon moved that the Zoning Board's recommendation be approved and the request
be granted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
Mr. narold Briley presented for the Commission's approval specifications for
the purpose of advertising for the major materials required for the proposed
improvements to the water system and also plans which indicate the extent of the
improvements covered by these specifications. He explained that the plans for
the construction itself were practically complete and would be ready within the
next two or three weeks. He requested the Commission to authorize the City
Manager to advertise for bids for the material to be opened at a special meeting
on September 27th. The Mayor inquired if consideration had been given to asking
the contractors to bid on furnishin~ the pipe and materials as an alternate bid.
Mr. Briley replied that the bids could be advertised both ways for the City to
furnish the pipe or the contractor to supply the pipe if the Commission so desired.
Commi ssioner Strang commented that he thou~ht it wou ld be a good idea as the bids
would show if the City could save any money by furnishin~ the materials. The
Mayor pointed out that the validation proceedings on the utility revenue certifi-
cates to supply the money for the improvements would not be completed until the
middle of October and suggested that the bids be received at a later date. After
consideration of this, Commissioner Strane moved that the Manager and the Engineer
be asked to take bids from the suppliers for the dif~erent materials required in
the water system according to those specifications and plans worked up by Mr.
Briley of Briley, Wild and Associates and moved that these bids be opened at a
special meeting on October 10, 1955. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell
and carried unanimously.
The City ~~nager reported that previously the City had worked with the County
on acquiring an ei~hty foot right-or-way for Hercules Avenue from Druid to Drew
Street which the City had deeded to the County. He said the County had appropriated
a sum of money to cover the construction of paving and the part between Druid Road
and Gulf-to-Bay adjacent to the hi~h school was constructed first; also, that the
County had paved a portion of Hercules north of the Seaboard Railroad outside the
City. He stated that Mr. L. Hester, County Engineer, had recently started construc-
tion of the portion between Gulf-to-Bay and Drew Street and the County was building
a twenty foot paving with a marl base construction, a li~ht macadam surface with
a ditch on each side and putting a 12 or 14 inch culvert at the street crossings.
The ~~nager stated that he had talked with Mr. Hester and that the Engineer said
he did not realize that City Ordinance 632 also applied to the County road
construct ion within the City. The Manager said that he had suggested that the
construction be stopped and that the County Engineer discuss it with the County
Commission. He reported that he, the City Engineer and some of' the property owners
concerned attended the meeting of the County Commission at which they were informed
that only $3,740.00 was left in the budget to complete the paving and that the
paving cost according to the City specifications would be $21,000.00. Mr. E. M.
Sanford, representing a group of Hercules Avenue residents, many of whom were

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
September 6, 1955
present, spoke against the type of paving started by the County. Mrs. Doris
Alvord also criticized the work, particularly as to the type of base and the narrow
width. She also protested the use of Nimbus Avenue by the County trucks and buses.
Comnissioner Stran~ moved that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a proper
Resolution to the liounty ~ommission \.dth reference to the paving o:f Hercules Avenue
pointing out to them that this work will have to be done according to City speci-
fications and suggesting to them possibly some way that they can use the money
they have in their present bud~et for materials or something to help ~et this
project started, and requestin~ that since the City has :furnished the necessary
right-of-way, alon~ with the property owners, that they fulfill their end of the
bargain and get this street paved with no unnecessary delay, and that the proper
officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Manager presented a request from Mr. J. M. Hering; for a renewal
for one year for hiR lease on the bait stand located on the Municipal Dock as his
lease expires on September 10, 1955. The City Manager explained that the lease
would be for one year but would be on a month to month basis with a thirty day
recapture clause. He recommended that the lease be renewed. Commissioner Bohannon
moved that the City Manager's recommendation be carried through and that the proper
authorities be authorized to execute a new lease on the same basis as the present
one. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney presented a request from Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Constantine
that Lots 1 through a, inclusive, Block B, Gunn's Addition, be annexed to the City.
The application stated that there are less than ten registered voters inhabiting
the property. The City Attorney also presented a petition for annexation signed
by five owners of property lying south of Block M and west of Tract A, Skycrest
Unit 10, and west of Block B, Gunn's Addition; also the portion east of Lots g and
9, Block E, Skycrest Unit 10. The City Manager recommended that the Commission
authorize the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to annex the property.. By
consent, the Commission authorized the City Attorney to prepare such an Ordinance.
A petition was read from Gladys D. Gregory, Manager of Mills Nursery,
written on behalf of the owner, Wm. I. Daniel, requestin~ that the alley between
Lots 4,5,6 and 7, Block 2, Pinecrest Subdivision, be vacated and declared closed.
The letter stated that the alley divided the property of Mills Nursery and had
never been opened or used. The Mayor was of the opinion that the alley was in
use, and that since the alley contained sanitary sewer lines and a portion o:f a
storm sewer line, that it should remain open. Commissioner Strang moved that the
request be denied. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried
unanimous ly.

The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. F. Kiernan Schoonmaker, Trust Officer
of the First National Bank of Clearwater, which stated that the bank was acting
as executor of the estate of Lewis L. P~lmitier. The letter stated that a check
was enclosed for $100.44 to cover the cost of sanitary sewer charged to Lot 5,
Bonair Hill Subdivision No.4, and that the payment was being made under protest
since Palmetto Street on which the lot faces, has not been opened and improved
therefore there is no access to this lot. The letter requested early action on
paving Palmetto Street. The r~yor suggested that the letter be accepted and made
a part of the record. He commented that probably the street should be opened and
paved, but since the abutting property owners had not been able to agree on the
matter, the Commission cannot act. Commissioner Strang moved that the letter be
received and made a part of the record. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Bohannon requested that Item 6-G, "Committee report with refer-
ence to purchasing property East of ACL Railroad on Court St." be deferred until
Commissioner Kennedy returned ~rom out of town.
A letter was read addressed to Mr. Paul Ficht of the Chamber of Commerce by
Mr. John R. Todd, Secretary of the Optimist Club, requesting that the Optimist
Club be reimbursed from the Special Events Fund :for expenses in connection with
a banquet given for the members of the Cuban Little League Baseball Team at the
Pelican Restaurant. A statement was attached for $130.00 from the Pelican
Restaurant. A copy of a letter addressed to Mr. Todd by Mr. Ficht was read which
indicated that the matter would be submitted to the Special Events Committee for a
recommendation to the City Commission. The City Attorney read the recommendation
from the Special Events Committee which was that the request be denied as the City
cannot set a precedent of underwriting Civic Club functions. Commissioner Russell
moved that the request be denied. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon
and carried unanimously.
The Manager asked the Commissior.ers if they \iould be interested in reviewing
the plans o:f a project to improve the traffic conditions on Drew Street between
Betty Lane and North East Cleveland. The Commission requested the Manager to have
the Engineering Department draw up such a plan with a cost estimate and present
it to the Commission as soon as possible.

on the property rormerly used as a fish market to use as a shelter, a location to
sell tickets and a place for t:.hei.r private telephone. The l\1ayor informed Mr.
Henson that the Commission would like Captain Youngblood to continue to operate
his boat from the same dock but that the dock would now be upder the supervision

sale of tickets, that tickets could be sold only on the boat itself. He said if
Captain Youngblood is willing to comply with the rules of the Marina, the
Commission would rent. him the dock space. The City Manager reported that at a
conference in his office last week he had informed Mr. Henson of the Commission's
position in the matter exactly as the Mayor had outlined it and he had told Mr.

Gentlemen:
I would like to make appeal for relaxation of the present ruling regarding
setbacks under the hardship clause.
The location of the property on which I intend to build my home is Lot 1)6,
Glenwood Subdivision, on the corner of Wood Drive and Oakwood Avenue, Clearwater.
The house in its entirety would set back 25 feet with the exception of a
small jog of the living room in the front of the house which would extend in
portions only 5 feet.
By granting this to me under the hardship rule it will also enable me to have
an 11 foot setback instead of a 6 foot setback on the property line on which the
garage border s.
Respectfully yours,

CITY COMMISSION MEETING

Mr. Francis Middleton
City Manager
City Hall
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Middleton:
1 am writing to you on behalf of Mrs. Mildred G. Wagner o~ 2710 - 13th St.
North, St. Petersburg, Florida, president of the Board of Directors of Florida
P.E.O. Kome, Inc., a non-profit corporation, which has qualified as such in
Pine11as County, Florida.
1hia organi~ation owns the follow1n~ described property located within the
City limits:
Lots J65-370 and Lots ~35-440, inc., also Lots 503-511 inc., Lots
572-584 inc. and Lots 642-656, inc., DelOro Groves Subdivision.
This property consisting of about 5i acres is located on Old Tampa Bay bet~een
Courtney Campbell Cause~ay and Safety Harbor, and is unimproved except for a
residence presently occupied by Mrs. B. H. Urschel and a garage apartment.
Mrs. Urachel has a life estate in the property on which the house is located,
the remainder to that parcel and the rest of the property being owned by the
non-profit corporation. By amendment to the Zoning Act in 1952 this property is
now zoned as R-l.

The Florida P.E.O. Home, Inc. wishes an exception to the Zoning Act to allow
this property to be used as a home for retired sisters of the P.E.O. It will be
operated as a non-profit enterprise, and no mental cases or alcoholics will be allowed
there.
I am making this application in triplicate with the request that you send
one copy thereof to the City Zoning Board with the request that this matter be
placed on the agenda for the meeting thereof on July 7, 1955, and with the further
request that you schedule this application for a public hearing at the first

Mr. R. G. Whitehead
City Auditor and Clerk
City of Clearwater
Post Office Box l34e
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Whitehead:
Your communication dated August 25 in reference to the request of' Mr. Ben
Krentznan on behalf of the Florida P.E.O. Home, Inc., for permission to construct
a home for members on lots in Del Oro Groves Subdivision has only been received,
and as there is insufficient time to communicate with you previous to the
hearing, I request on behalf of my wife, Adah Knight Toombs, who owns approxi-
mately half of this Subdivision and Colonel Robert Knight ~ho o~ns the other
half; that this petition be denied on the following grounds.
I may say that Eor some fifteen years I have been a member of either the
Fulton County Planning Commission or the Joint Atlanta-Fulton County Planning
Commission and happen to be very f'wmiliar with the problems involved.
-1-
The area of which this is a part to the Northeast of Clearwater constitutes
one of the few large areas capable of being used for restricted residential use.
So much of the area of so many of our cities has been ruined by mixed uses and
unrestricted ase, and I know that Clearwater has previously suffered liKewise.
It would certainly be to the city's advantage that this large and presently
undeveloped area be handled with wisdom and integrity, and its tremendous
possibilities far future homes of a great many people will certainly suffer from
introduction of improper uses into residential areas.
-2-
The four first groups of lot numbers do not appear on the Del Oro Subdivision
map I have but ~rom the sequence of the numbers, I presume they are located as
I have noted at the Southwest corner of the property bordering Colonel Knight's
property on the North and our property on the East. If this tract is developed
as a whole, it will presumably make imposs1ble~ithout eminent domain the con-
tinuing through of the existing platted streets San Matteo and San Bernadino.
This will not only injure the development of our property, but will make
difficult che proper development of property to the West of this tract. In
other words, this creates a single tract of property blocking platted streets.

The last gro~p of lots 642-656 are noted on the Subdivision plat I have
and constitute the Southeast block. Ordinarily it is my understanding that
two entirely separated pieces of property are not usually considered under one
request. I do not see how a home could be built on two ~roups of property so
widely distant. Is it intended to build a home on the four first blocks of
property and a fishing pier on the group 6~2-656? In the latter caso does this
not introduce a use which will be invidious to the future development of the
property"l
-4-
I do not know what a P.E.O. Home is, nor do I know ~hat accessory uses are
penooitted in a district zoned R-l. It may be that your zoning permits such a
thing aB an Old Folks Kome or something of the kind, but this is an extremely
remote location at the present time for such a use.
If this is some type of home used for entertainment, parties, drinking,
etc., and with presumably two establishments.. one built on the area of the four
plots and the other built on the area adjacent to the bay, this would constitute
a use which I would judge would not be suitable in any residence district and
~hich will in fact do a residence neighborhood much harm.
It is to be particularly noted that such a use once instituted can, in
practice, never be removed.
There is also the additional point that once an undesirable use of land is
introduced in an area zoned for residences, that it is inevitable that other
enterprises of a similar nature will be requeRted in the neighborhood and the
deterioration will grow until the entire neighborhood is blighted.

1 wish to state in behalf of Colonel Knisht and ourselves that we do not
wish to be unpleasant or un-neighborly about the matter. I do not feel at this
moment I have sufficient information but we respectfully request that the points
brought up above may have a very important bearing, and we will appreciate your
Commission giving them their consideration, not especially on our account, but
because of their b~aring on the future development of the city.

Dear Mr. Middleton:
Ref'erence is made to a proposed trailer park layout for thirty-four trailers to
be known as Clear~ater Trailer Park, owned by Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Chauncy, 2107
Gulf to Bay Blvd., Clearwater.
For your information this proposed trailer park layout was approved by the Florida
State Board of Healtn on July 2, 1955, by serial number TC 1111 for thirty-four
independent trailers on a septic tank basis. Specifications for this trailer
park layout include five ~our-bathroom utility buildings serving four independent
trailers each and seven two-bathroom utility buildings serving two trailers
each, also a laundry to serve all the trailers.
Soil tests and data obtained by this department show favorable results for
standard septic tank installations.
I trust this information is sufficient for your purpose.
Very truly yours,

The letter concerning the vacation of the alley in Block 2, Pinecrest Subd. has
been referred to this office. The attached drawing shows the property in question.
While it is the policy of this office to object to the vacation of alleys, it is
felt that inasmuch as this alley is only a ten-foot alley and th~t it has never
been used by the public, the vacation of said alley would not be detremental to
the best interests of the City.
It is suggested that if the alley is vacated it shall be vacated subject to an
easement ~or the sanitary sewer and subject to a new easement given for the
storm sewer which goes through parts of these lots. The location of this storm
sewer is also on the accompanying plat.

Attention Mr. Francis Middleton,

Dear Mr. Middleton:
August 24, 1955
Re: Estate of Lewis L. Pa~itier\ deceased
Our bank is serving as executor of the estate of Lewis L. Palmitier who
died a resident of 1514 Walnut Street, Clearwater, Florida on May 26, 1955.
The Palmitier estate includes the following described real property:
Lot 5 in Bonair Hill Subdivision No- 4 according to map thereof recorded in Plat
Book 29, Page 79, o~ the Public REcords of Pinellas County, Florida. We are
informed by Mr. E. R. Turner that installation of a sewer to serve this and
neighboring lots has been completed by the City and that the portion of the cost
of the installation applicable to the above-described lot is '100.44. We therefore
enclose our trust check dra'oNn on estate ~unds payable to the City o~ Clearwater
in the amount of $100.44 ~o cover the cost of the sewer charged to this lot.
We are making this payment under protest in view of the fact that there is'
no access to such lot af~orded by a passable street inasmuch as Palmetto Street,
on which the lot faces, has not been opened and improved. We respectfully urge
early action by the City to pave Palmetto Street and open it to traffic to provide
means of satis~actory access to Lot 5 and adjoining lots.
lours very truly,

Paul Ficht, Manager
Clear\'Jater Chamber of Commerce
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Ficht:
August 15, 1955
Recently our City was honored by a visit from the Champion Baseball Team
of the Cuban Littla League. Their arrival came on very short notice, and in order
to show them that Clearwater appreciated their presence a banquet was held by
the Clearwater Optimist Club for the entire team at the Pelican Restaurant on
August 6, as you will note by the enclosed statement.
Would it be possible for the Chamber to defray the expense of this banquet
from its "Special Events Fund"? If so, I \'Jould appreciate your for\'Jarding a check
for the indicated amount in favor of the Optimist Club of Clearwater to our
Post Office Box 10)1.
JRT:gcb
Enclosure:
Very truly yours,
/s/ John R. Todd
Secretary of Optimist Club
of Clearwater

Mr. John R. todd, Secretary
Optimist Club of Clearwater
P. O. Box 1031
Clear\'Jater, Florida
Dear Mr. Todd:
August 16, 1955
I wish to acknowledge receipt of your Au~ust 15th request with which you submitted
a bill in the amount of $130.00 to cover the cost of dinners for the Cuban Little
League ball team.
It is inferred in your letter that it is the sole prerogative of the Chamber of
Commerce to either payor not pay this account, but please let me advise that all
matters submitted to the Special Events Conmittee are done so for the express
purpose of getting their recommendations in order that the City Con~ission may
have advance information on such matters. The final decision on the payment of
this bill will naturally rest with the City Commission.
I am today submitting the matter to the Special Events Committee who will report
directly to the City Commission.
PHF:DB

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Francis C. Middleton
City Manager

Dear ~~. Middleton:
August 31, 1955
The attached letters from the Optimist Club and Paul Ficht are self-
explanatory:
It is the unanimous opinion of this Committee that the City Commission deney
this request due to the fact that it would be impossible for the City to under-
write all Civic Club functions and to pay this \'Jould be to let the Bar down to all.
Yours Very Truly,
/s/ Earl Wilson

busir.ess use (trailer park) of the south 33$ feet of their property in the southeast
quarter og Section 13-29-1�, which is presently zoned R-M. Mr. Thomas Hamilton,
attorney for Mr. Chauncey, pointed out that �he Commission at the meeting of
August 15th had approved the trailer park for the north 330 feet of his client's
pr�perty as it was in the businsss zone rut this portion was held over for a
Public Hearing. He explained that the pro�erty to the east and the south of his
client's progerty is being used as a trailer park and for storing trailers by
Mr. R. J. Hinners of Lakeside Trailer Park. The C;ity Attorney read the application
signed by Mr. Hamilton and the Zoning Board's recommendation that the request be
granted under the hardship provision of the Zoning Of•dinance. He also read a

applicat,ion from the Stat e Health Department and the Countp Hea�th Department.
Mr. Poy Dugan, o�aner of Lot 11�., Bamboo Subdivision, objected to the grantin� oi
the application on the basis that it *r�ould put the proposed trailer park withir
seventy feet of his residential property, and if Mr. Chauncey should acquire the
seventy foot strip in between, it would bring the trailer facilities up to his
lot line. Mr. P. W. Walker, owner cf Lot 7, Bamboo Subdivision, and Mrs. Ellis L.
Good, owner of Lot 13, also objected for the same reason. During the discussion,
the Mayor pointed �ut that the owners of Lots � and 14, Bamboo Subdivision,
already have Lakeside Trailer Park abutting t heir proparty on the south. It was
the City �ttorney's opinian that the matter came within th� hardship provisinns o£
the Zoning Ordinance since the property in question was bordered on two sides by
the Game usag� for which the owners wers applying. After having heard this duly
constituted Public Hearing and having heard no valid objection, Commissione..r
Bohannon moved that the Zonin� Board's reco�nendation be approved and the reques�
be granted. Niotion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
Mr. Harold Briley presented for the �ommission's approval s�ecifications far

improvements to the w ater system and also plans which indicate the extent af the
improvements covered by �hese specifications. He explained that the plans for
the construction itself were practically complete and would be ready within the
next two or three weeks. He requested the Commission to aut•horize the City
Manager to advertise for bids for the material to be operied at a special meeting
on September 2�th. The Mayox inquired if consideration had been given to asking
the contractors to bid on furnishin, the pipe and materials as an alternate bid.
Mr. Briley replied that the b�ds could be advertised both ways % r the City to
furnish the pipe or the contractor to supply the pipe if the ��arr�ission so desired.
Commissioner Strang commented that he thought it would be a good idea as the bids
would show if the Cit�> could save any money by furnishin� the materials. The
t�ayor pointed out tha� tne validation proceedings on the utility revenue certifi-
cates to supply the money for the improvements would not be completed until the
middle of October and suggested that the bids be received at a later date. After
consideration of this, Commissioner Strang moved that the Manager and the Engineer
be asked to take bids from the suppliers for the different materials required ir.
the water system according to those specifications and plans worked up by Ms,
Bri].ey of Brzley, Wild and Associates and moved that these bids be opened at a
special meeting on October 10, 1955• Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell

The letter stated that the alley divided the property of Mills Nursery and had
never been opened or used. The Mayor was of the opinion that the alley was in
use, an.d that since the alley contained sa�iitary sewer lines and a portion of a
storm sewer line, that it should remain open. Co�nissioner Strang moved that the

since Palmetto Street on v�hich the lot face�, has not been opened and improved
thexefore there is no access to this lot. The letter renuested early action on
paving Palmetto Street. The Mayor suggested that the letter be accepted and made
a part of the record. He commented that proaably the street should be opened and
paved, but since the abuttin� property ownsrs had not been able to agree on the
matter, the Commission cannot act. Coramissioner Strang moved that the letter be
received and made a part of the record. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.

Gentlemen:
I would like to make appeal for reiaxation of the present ruling regarding
setbacks under tne hardship clause.
The location of the propertp on which I intend to build mp home i� Lot 136,
Glenwoed Subdi,vision, on the corner of Wood Drive and Oakwood A�enue, Clearwater.
The house in its entirety would set back 25 feet with the exception of a
small jog of the living room in the front of the house which would extend in.
portions onl;; 5 feet.
By granting tha:s to me under the hardship rule it will also enable me to hav�
an 11 foot setback instead of a b fo�t setback on the progerty line on which the
garage borders.
Resp�ectfully yours,
/s% �tichael Diaks

Dear Mr. Middleton:
aune zz, 1955
I am writing to you on behalf of Mrs. Mildred G. Wagner of 2710 - 13�h St,
ATorth, St. Petersburg, Florida, president of the Board of Directors of Florida
P.E.O. Home, Inc., a non-profit corporation, which has qualified as such in
Pir_e11as County, Florida.
This organization owns the following described property located within the
City limits:
Lots 365-370 and I,ots t�3$-1�1}Q, inc., also Lots 503-511 inc., Lots
572-5�4 inc. and Lots 642-656, inc,, Del Oro Groves 5ubdivision.
This pragerty consisting af about $� acres is ].ocated on 01d Tampa Bax between
Courtney Campbell Causetiaay and Saiety Harbor, and is unimprov�d except for a
residence presently occupied by iKrs. B. H. Urschel and a garage apartment.
Vlrs. Urschel'has a life �state in the properiy on which the house is located,
the remainder to that parcel and the rest of the property being owned by the
non-profit corporation, By amendment to the Zoning Act ir� 1952 this property is
now zoned as R-1.
The Florida P.E.O. Iiome, Inc. wishes an exception to the Zoning Act to allow
this property to be used as a hor�e for retired sisters of the P.E.O. It will be
aperated as a non-profit enterprise, ar�d �o mental cases or alcoholics will be allowed
there.
I am ma:ting this application in triplicate with the request that you send
one copy thereof to the City Zoning Board with the request that this matter be
placed on the agenda for the mee�ing thereof on July 7, 1955, and with the fur�her
request that you schedule this applic�:tion for a public hearing at the fi.rst
meeting of the City Commission to be held after July 7, 1955.

Dear Nir. whitehead:
September 2, 1955
Your communication dated P_u�;ust 25 in reference to the xequest oi Mr. Ben
Krentzman on b ehalf of the F'loi�ida P.E.O. Home, Inc., for permission to construct
a home for members on lots in �iel Oro Groves Subdivision has only been rFceived,
and as the,re is insufficient time to communicate wibh you previous to the
hearing, I request on behalf of my wife, Adah Knight Toombs, who owns approxi-
mately half of this Subdivision ar�d Colonel Robert Knight who owns the other
half; that this petition be denied on the .following grounds.
I may say that for some fifteen years I have been a member of either the
Fulton County Planning Commission or the Joint Atlanta-Fulten County Planning
Commission and happen to be very familiar with the problems involved.
-Z-
The area of w hich this is a part to the Northeast of Glearwater constitutes
one of the few large areas capable of being used for restricted residential use.
So much of the area oi so many of our cities has been rua.ned by mixed uses and
unrestricted use, and I know that Clearz�ater has previously suffered likewise.
It would certainly be to the city's advantage tnat this large and presently
undeveloped area be handled with wisdom and integrity; and its tremendous
possibilities for future homes of a great many people will certainly suffar frc,m
introduction of improper uses into residential areas.
_2_
The four first grovps of lot num'�ers do not appear on the Del Oro Subdivision
- map 2 have but from the sequence of'the numbers, I presume they ar� lacated zs
I have noted at the Southwest corner of the property bordering Colonel Knight's
property an the North and our property on the East. Tf this tract is deve'loped
as a whole, it will presumably make impossible'withou� eminent domain the con-
tinuing through of the existing platted streets San Matteo arxi San Bernadino.
This wi3.l not onlp injura the deeelopment of our proper�y, but will make
dis"ficult �he proper development of property to the West of this tract. In
other words, this cr�ates a single tract of property blUcking platted streets.
CITY CpMMTSSION N;EETING
September 6, 1955
(Continued)
The last group qf lots 6�.2-656 are noted an the Subdivision plat I ha.ve
and constitute the Southeast bl��k. Ordinarily iL- is my understanding �hat
two en�irely separated pieces o.f property are not usual,ly considered un�er one
request. Z do no� se� how a hom;e could be builr, on two groups of �iroperty so
widely distant. Is it intended to build a home on the four first blocks of
property and a fishing pier on the group 6�.2-656? In the latter case does this
not introduce a use which will be invidious to tne future deve�.opment of the
property?
_�, _
I do not know wha� a P.E.O. Home is, nor do I know what accessory uses are
permitted in a district zoned R-1. It may be that your zoning permits such a
thing as an Old Fo3ks Home or something of the kind, but this is an extremelq
remote location at the present time for suah a use.
If this is some type of home used fcr entertainmen", partiesi dr��nking,
etc., and with presumably two establishments - one built on the area of the four
plots and the other built on the area adjacent to the bay, this would coristitute
a use which I would judge would not be suitable in any residence district and
which will in fact do a residence nea.ghborhood much harm.
It is to be particularly noted that such a use once instituted can, in
practice, never be removed.
There is also the additional point that once an undesirable use of land is
introduced in an area zoned for residences, that it is inevitable that other
enterprises of a similar nature will be requested in the neighborhood and the
deterioration will grow until ths entire neighborhood is blighted.
-5-
I wish to state in b�half of Colonel Knight ard ourselves that w� do not
vaish to be unpleasant ar ur�-neighborly about the matter. I do not feel at this
momen� I have sufiicient information but we respectfully request that �he points
brough� up above may have a very important bearing, and we will appreciate your
Commission giving them their cor_sideration, not especially on our account, but
because of their bearing on tkie future development of the city.

August 11, 1955
To: F. C. Middleton
From: S. Lickton
The l�tter concerniilg the vacation of the alley in Block 2, Pinecrest Subd. has
been referred to this office. The attached drawing shcws the property in question.
While it is the policy of this o£fice to ob�ect to the vacation of aZleys, it is
felt that inasmuch as this a11ey is only a ten-foot alley and th'at it has never
been used by the public, the vacation of said alley would not be detremental ta
the best interests of the City.
It is suggested that if the allep is vacated it shall be ;racated subject to an
easement for the sanitary sewer and subject to a new easement given for the
storm sewer which goes through parts of these lots. The lo�ation of this storm
sewer is also on the accompanying Flat.

Dear Mr. Middleton:
7ie: Estate of Lewis L. Palmitier deceased
Our bank is serving as executor of the estate of �,ewis L. Palmitier who
died a resident of 151�. Walnut Street, Clearwater, Florida on May 26, 1�55•
The Palmitier estate in;:ludes the following described real property:
Lot 5 in Bonair Hill Subdivision No. 4 according to map theireoi recorded in Plat
Boak 29, Page 79, of the Public REcords of Pinellas County, Florida. We are
ir.formed by Mr. E. R. Turner that installation of a sewer to serve this and
neighboring lots has been com�leted by th2 City and that the portion of the cost
of the installation applicable to the above-described lot is �100.41�. We therefore
enclose our trust check drawn on estate funds payable to the Gity of Clearwater
in the amount oi �100.�.y. to cover the cost oi the sewer charged to this 1ot.
We are making this payment under protest in view of the £act that there is
no access to such lot afforded by a passable street inasmuch as Palmetto Street,
on which the lot faees, has not been opened and improved. We respectfully urge
early action by the City to pave Palmetto Street and open it to traffic to providP
means of satisfactory access to I,ot 5 and ac��oining lots.
Yours very truly,
