The City Manager reported that the pavement had been requested in a petition signed by four property owners. The City Engineer stated that he had estimated the total cost of the work at .5,167.50 or a cost of .4.68 per front foot. The Mayor inq~ired if there were any objections and there were none. Having held this Public Hearing and having heard no valid objection, Commissioner Strang moved that the construction of a thirty foot pavement and curb in Rainbow Drive from the east line of Lake Drive to the west line of Keystone Drive be approved, that the Manager be instructed to proceed with this, advertise for bids, and that the work be done on an assessment basis. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and car.ried unanimously. A Pablic Hearing was called on the reqaest of Mr. Wm. M. Goza, representing Mr. Edward L. Hohenstein and others, ~or R-~ use of Tract A, Hillcrest Drive Re-Sub, presently zoned R-2. A letter was read from Mr. Goza explaining that the petitioners proposed to build apartment buildings on the north 230 feet of the property according to plans attached, for themselves and their friends on a cooperative basis. The Zoning Board's recoBaendation was that approval be granted to issae a permit for the baildings in accordance with the plans attached, the reason being that as many or more apartments could be erected on the property as duplexes ander the present zoning by platting the acreage into lots. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Otis Angier, owner of adjoining property, stating that he had no objections to the zoning change provided that there ~as a stipulation that the buildings would not be higher than two stories. In the letter Mr. Angier also objected to the proposed buildings being placed five feet from the west lot line as Mr. Angier's building is located 21 feet west of the same lot line. He requested that Mr. Hohenstein's bailding be constructed twenty-one feet east of the west property line and suggested that the two buildings be restricted to being forty-two or possibly forth feet apart. A letter of objection was read from Mr. Warren D. Matthews, owner of Lot 3, Russell Subdivision Unit 1, ~hich complained of the condition of the west side of Hillcrest Drive with its unkempt appearance and a ditch full of water after every rain. Mr. Goza addressed the Commission stating that the owners plan to eliminate the drainage ditch by installing curbing and drainage facilities and to cooperate with the City in constructing sewer and water lines. Mr. Ed. S. Whitson, an a~fected property owner, spoke in favor of the project. Mrs. Joseph T. Staniszewski, owner of Lot 2, Russell Sabdivision Unit 1. objected to'the change to R-~ zoning and also objected to the garages being located to~ard the front of the property and suggested they be located behind the buildings. After having held this Public Hearing and having heard no valid objection, Commissioner Strang moved that the request be granted in accordance with the Zoning Board recommendation and the following restrictions: that the building be restricted to two stories in height according to the plan; that a setback of 25 feet be r~quired from Drew Street and a setback of 25 feet also be required from Hillcrest Aven~e and that the other setbacks be worked out as closely as possible in accordance with the request of neighboring property o~ners; that the garages be built in con~ormance with the plans; that this ~sage be for the north 300 feet of Tract A only; that they put in the curb, the storm drainage, sanitary drainage and all necessary lines for this property. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously. A Public Hearing was announced on the request of Mr. H. H. Young for a twenty root setback line from Kipling Plaza and a fifteen foot setback from Lantana Avenue for Lots 6, 7 and 8, Block 4~, Mandalay Subdivision. The City Attorney read the request from Mr. Young and the Zoning Board's recommerdation that the setback of fifteen teet on Lantana be granted but that a setback of twenty-three reet be permitted from Kipling Plaza as it wo~ld be in conformity witb existing buildings. Mr. Young addressed the Commission agreeing to accept the setbacks as restricted by the Zoning Board. Mrs. Frederick Charlton, an affected property owner, objected to the granting of a fifteen foot setback on Lantana. Commissioner Strang moved that the Public Hearing be adjourned on the request of Mr. H. H. Young until October 17th, 1955, and in the intervening time have the Building Department make a sketch showing the actual setbacks on Lantana Avenue between Gardenia and Kipling Plaza on both sides of the street and north on Lantana from Kipling Plaza. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unani~oasly. A 2etter 'Was read from Mr. Leander Jones, owner of Lots 2 and J. Re-S~b ot Lot 5 of R. Hw Padgett's Subdivision, in which he offered to purchase from the City the ~est 20 reet of Lot 1 whicb adjoins his property. The Mayor explained that all of Lot 1 had been bought by the City but only the east thirty feet of it was actually needed ~or right of way purposes tor Missouri Avenue. Commissioner Kennedy commented that be had been a member of a Committee which investigated an offer made on the same property by another person and i~ was the recommendation at that time that the offer be rejected subject to the ownor of the property in the rear of the twenty foot strip having the priVilege of purchasing this frontage on ~ssouri Avenue. Commissioner Kennedy moved tbat a price of .600.00 be set on the twenty foot strip of Lot 1, (Re-Sub ot Lot 5, R. H. Padgett's Subdiv1aiop) and that it be offered to Leander Jones at that price. Motion was sCJcOllcled by Comaa1asioner Strang and carried unaaimously. ,':' ' .f ~._.=-----.... . li!;, j~Ii r~~.'. 1~111wl?r "'t,";;";",\ 'I ' " .. . n. r .

W. Harry Armston, Wallis L. Skinner and Donald Emerson, constituting a partnership known aa Island Estates, to develop lands in Clearwater Bay north or Memorial Causeway. The Resolution stated that after many studies and revisions the Planning Board had by formal motion approved Plan No. l5C as satisfying the best interests or all concerned. A letter was read from Mrs. E. P. Burton, Secretary of the Clearwater Beach Association which enclosed a Resolution requesting the Commission to postpone any action approving the Island Estates project until it could be tully discussed by all of the citizens and suggesting that a Town Hall Meeting be called on the subject. Mr. Baya Harrison, attorney representing the developera, requested the Commission to grant access to the Causeway as set out by Chapter 11050, Special Acts or Florida of 1925. He explained that this Act gave the City or Clearwater 500 feet of land north of the center line of the Causeway with the proviso that it could be used only for park aDd recreational purposes and the Act also provided that the owners of lands north of the City-owned land should have access across the five hundred feet. He also stated that the developers would fill this strip of approximately 500 feet x 2~OO feet at no expense to the City. He asked the approval of Plan 15C and present~d a copy of a Resolution to the City Attorney which he had prepared granting the approval which the developers seek. Mr. Wm. Albrecht, engineer for the developers, explained that the owners hold the title to approximately 573 acres in submerged land and mangrove islanda in Clearwater Bay north of the Causeway and that they plan to develop 392 acres of it through inter-connecting islands to inc1ude a park area, a place for single family homes, a motel area, a commercial center and space for apartment buildings. The Mayor comment ed that even if the plan was approved by the COl7ll1ission the developers would have to apply ror a permit to .fill the land rrom the County Commission and make application to t he Army Engi na era. He said that under Ordinance 632 the City would still need to approve the plats and would control the type of paving, sewers, drainage and other improvements. Various persons commented and asked questions about the project, one question being as to whether all of the bay bottom land north or the Causeway was privately o'Woed to which the City Attorney stated that according to the map or the Internal Improvement Board this was the only large tract of land in the north bay owned by one group or individual. 1he Mayor pointed out that developing any further Lands in the bay would not be ecoDomically feasible as such a project would require an expensive bridge or causeway. In reply to a question as to what would be done to relieve the traffic situation on the Causeway, the Mayor commented he thought that the City could expect State a~d on the situation if the traffic problem was more constant because the State teels that the problem is not acute enoug~ now to warrant the expenditure for widening the bridges and the approaches to the Causeway. Replying to a question as to why the Planning Board recommended a park in the 500 foot strip north of the Causeway, Mr. Ralph Reade, secretary or the Planning Board, stated that all the members or the Board felt that the area would be needed immediately for serving Clearwater Beach, as it would include such public facilities as a park and playground and a location for utility expansion such as a water tower, disposal plant, a power transformer station, etc. Mr. Harold Briley, Consulting Engineer, commented that the area designated for the sewage disposal plant would be ideal for serving the Beach, particularly from an economic standpoint as the present sewer line from the Beach runs through this location. The Resolution prepared by Mr. Harrison was read by the City Attorney. Several corrections and additions were suggested by the Commissioners which were noted by the City Attorney. Commissioner Strang moved that the Resolution 8a amended be passed and adopted and the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner BohaDnon and carried unanimously. The Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 1:00 P.M. to reconvene at 1:00 P.M. on Tuesday, September 20th, 1955, to consider the items remaining on the agenda.

The City Attorney reported that the contract in accordance with Ordinance 632 had been signed by the developers but the amount of the bond ~or the improve- ments had not been set. Mr. H. H. Baskin, Sr.. one o~ the developers, requested that Block B be zoned as Business and that Blocks A and C be zoned as R-M. In reply to a question from the Commission, Mr. Baskin stated that the seawall line had been established for the entire finger. The Mayor inquired if the 100 foot right of way for Hamden Drive south of Gulf View Boulevard wo~ld be dedicated as requested by the Planning Board at its meeting on September 16th. Mr. Baskin said that the area referred to was not included in the plat of Bayside #5 because it belonged to Mr. W. D. Owens and not to the partnership.

For your information, they wish me to submit the following data to you: Parties in ownership: All of the parties have been wintering and visiting in Clearwater ror a number of years, rang~ng from g to l3 years, at the Fort Harrison Hotel and at the Yacht Basin Apartments. All parties are from St. Louis, Missouri, and have retired, or will retire shortly. Mr. Hohenstein is head of a real estate and insurance firm bearing his name. Mr. LeGear is a cuanui'acturer of stock and poultry medicines, which products are distributed nationally. Mr. Hartmann is owner of the Hartmann Nash Agency in St. Louis, and operates a large service station and garage in connection with the agency.

Construction contemplated: The parties wish to construct apartment buildings on the property which will permit them and their friends who will join them in retirement to live together. The apartments will not exceed two stories in height, and not over t\'JO downstairs and two upstair::) apartments in each building are contemplated. Nature of ownership: The parties plan to own the property jointly and ope~ate i~ cooperatively. There will be no open solicitation for sal~s of the apartments, since ownership is complete. There will be no seeking of financing or mortgages, since the parties are finar:.cially able to complete tpe project. Adjoining p~opertv: To the north is located the Clearwater Country Club; to the West is located Fairview Arms; to the South is located Center Clinic; to the East are located dwellings. Mr. Otis Angier, owner of Fairview Arms, has expressed hiuiself in favor or the granting of the change of zoning. The only possible objection could come from the East, but it is believed that all of those residents would ravor the improvement of the tract, because it constitutes an unsightly view which has hampered the entire area. Improvements: Mr. Hohenstein has conferred with Mr. Middleton, City Manager, relative to cooperation with the City in constructing sewer and water lines, and curbing and drainage facilities to eliminate the unsightly and unhealthful open drainage ditch along Hillcrest Avenue. It is felt by the owners that the location, size and shape of the property make it a hardship for utilizing in any classification other than R-4 zoning, and respectfully request favorable consideration for a change of zoning.

As it will be impossible for us to be present at this hearing, ~e respectfully request that this letter be read at the hearing and submitted for inclusion in any discussion and any minutes of said hearing. The present zoning of Tract A, west side of Hillcrest Drive, south of Drew Street, is R-2 and any claim being made that this zoning is creating a hardship for the owners is, we believe to be, absolutely fradulent.

' CITY COMMISSION MEETING September 19, 1955 (Continued) The fact of the matter is that the property owners opposite this tract, on the east side of Hillcrest Drive, are the ones who arC! surfering a hardship as they find that, due to the condition of the west side of Hillcrest Drive with its unkempt appearance and a ditch which stays full of water after every rain, breeding mosquitoes, they can not sell their property for even much less than it originally co st . This matter of re-zonin~ the tract mentioned was rather thoroughly covered at two meetings of the City Commision (the second meeting on March 7) and also at a meeting of the Zoning Board. At the first meeting of the City Commission which we attended, Mayor Brown said that a "rule of thumb" policy had been adopted in an effort to keep a "Buffer Zone" between zones R-l and R-4, with which we were all in agreement. Due to the fact that we cannot be back in Clearwater before the middle of October, we respectfully request that this letter be considered as our ideas on the matter. Please keep the present zoning in effect. Very truly yours, Isl Warren D. Matthews Isl Lillian Matthews 115 North Hillcrest Drive. ------------~------~-------------------------~~------~--------------------------- August 24, 1955 Zoning Board City or Clearwater Florida ATTN: Mr. Leland Drew Gentlemen: I have been advised that Mr. Hohenstein has bought the property east of me on the corner of Hillcrest and Drew and desires to build on this property two apartment buildings each containing four apartments, and in order to do this must have the zoning changed from R-2 to R-4. I have no objections to this change provided it will be stipulated that he cannot build higher than two stories and, as I have previously written, I think this stipulation should become a part or R-4 restrictions. I have one further objection to his building which is a matter I imagine I will have to take up with him as the present restriction on all zonings I believe allows anyone to build within five feet of the property line diViding two pieces of property. If he were to build a two story apartment building five feet from the property line it would leave only 26' between his building and mine. When I built I placed my building 2l' from the property line and when I started construction on the new apartment building west of my present building I allowed 42' between buildings. I would like, therefore, to see him build his building 21' from the property line instead of five feet and I would like to suggest that two story apartment buildings be restricted to being 42', or possibly 40' apart, as a minimum. Yours sincerely, /s/ Otis Angier (1375 Drew Street) -----~------------------------------------~--------------------------------------- To: From: Subject: Sept. 2, 1955 Mr. F. C. Middleton, City Manager Oliver H. Anderson, Sec'y. Zoning Board Mr. & Mrs. H. H. Young, Lots 6,7 and 8, Block 44, Mandalay Subdivision The Zoning Board recommends that the application for a set back of 15' on Lantana be granted, and that the application ror a set back of 20' on Kipling Plaza be modified, to permit a set back of 23'. The reason for modifying the set back on Kipling Plaza, is that it is in substantial conformity with the existing buildings, approximately 24' from Kipling Plaza, and that it will permit the construction of a~ry substantial and desirable home according to the plans submitted to the Board. ~---------------------------------------------------~------------------------~-~ i '.' . ..--....\. .

Present set-back requirements ror the property are 25 feet from Kipling Flaza and 25 feet from Lantana Avenue. Application is hereby made under the hardship ruling to permit a set-back of 20 reet on Kipling Plaza and 15 feet on Lantana Avenue. We feel that a dwelling of a size which would be commensurate with the value of the property and in harmony with the adjoining dwellings requires such a set-back, because a house of the dimensions we desire and with the living area indicated . by the plans could not be erected unless the side line restrictions were relaxed. Examination of the property will reveal that the set-back requested would not afEect adversely the adjoining property, and we feel that a dwelling of the size and type to be placed on this property would make it an asset to the adjoining property. Your consideration oE our request is appreciated. Yours respectfully, MR. AND MRS. HAROLD H. YOUNG By /5/ Mr. and Mrs. Harold H. Young by Anna S.

A 100 foot right-or-way should be required for Hamden Dr. rrom the inter- section of Harnden Dr. and Cornodo Dr. south to Little Pass. This will necessitate the dedication of 50 ft. instead of 30 ft. from the center line of Harnden Dr. to the property line or Bayside Subdivision No.5. 2. Duplicates of street names should be eliminated and North Gulfview Blvd. should be given some other name. 3. This plat is a section of an overall development of the fourth finger. It is felt that an overall plat should be submitted so that a complete picture of the entire development could be shown. 4. The developers should submit all the required forms, properly filled out, required by Ordinance 632.

The remaining 20 feet is there and is of no particular use to the city of Clearwater. -However, it would be ot value to the owner of Lots 2 and 3; namely. myself. since it would afford me the right of having Missouri Avenue frontage, undess the city chose to call this 20 feet city right-of-way. and if they did, I now have Missouri Avenue rrontage. However. I teel that the city should keep thei~ssouri Avenue right-at-way as straight as possible in the interest ot symmetry and building lines, etc., and I would appreciate your setting a fair value on this property so that I might purchase it at an early date. I feel that the property should be sold to me on a direct sale, inasmuch as the 20 teet would be or no use to anyone else tor building purposes and could only be used to embarrass me in the use ot the two lots behind the said 20 feet, which said two lots I own.

A letter was read from Mr. Goza explaining that the petitioners pi:oposed to build apartment buildings on thE north 230 feet of° �he property according to plans attached, for themselves and their friends on a cooperative basi$. The Zoning Board�s rec�ommenciation was that approval be granted to issue a permit for the buiidings in accordance with the plans attached, the reason being that as many or mors apartments could be erected on the property as duplexes under the present zon3ng by pla�ting the acrea�e into lots. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr: Otis Angier, owner of adjoining property, stating that he had no objections to the zoning change provided that there was a stipulation that the buildings vrou3.d not be high�� tlaan two stories.

W. Harry Armston, �lallis L. Skinner and Donald Emersan, constituting a partnership known a� Island �states, to develop lands in'Clearwater Bay north of Memorial Causewaq. The Resolution stated that after many studies and r�visions the Plannfng Board had by formal motion �pproved Plan No. I5C as satisfying the best interests of all conc�rned. A letter was read from Mrs. E. P. Burton, Sscretarp of the Clearwater Beach As3ociati.on which enclosed a Resolu�Gion reyuesting the Commission to postpone any action approving the Island Esta�es project untii it could be £ully discussed hy all of the citiaens and suggesting that a Town Hall Meeting be called on the subject. Nir. Ba�a Harrison, attorneq representing the developera, requested the Commission to grant access to the Causeway as set out by Chagter ?,1050, Special Acts o£ Florida of 1925. He explained that this AcL gave the City of Clearwater 500 feet of land north of' the centei: line of the Causeway with the proviso that 3t could be used only for park and recreational purposes and the Act also provided that the owners of lands north of the Citp-ownPd land sho�uld have access across the five hundred feet. He also sta�ed that the developers �ould fill this strip of approximately 500 feet x 2100 feet at no expenss to the City. He asked the approval of Plan 15C and presented a copy of a Resolution to the Citg Attorney which he had prepared granting the approval which th� developers seek. Mr. Wm. Albrecht, engineer for the developers, explained that the owners hold the title to approximateZy 573 acres in aubmerged land and mangrove islands in �leaa�aater Bay north of the Caugeway and tk�at they plan to develop 392 zcres of it through inter-connecting islands to include a park area, a plaae for single family homes, a �notel area, a commercial center and space for apartment buildinga. The Mayor comment ed that even if the plan was approved by the Coc;mission the developers would have to apply for a permit to fill the land from the County Commission and make application �o the Army E�gineers. He said that under Ordinance 632 the City would still need to approve �he pla�s ax�d would control the type of gaving, sewers, drainage and other improvements. Various persons co�mented and a�ked quesiions about t�e project, one question being as to whether all of �the bay bottQm land north of the Causewap was privately owned to which tY;� City Attorney stated that according to the map of the Intesnal I�provement Board this was the only large tract of land in the north bay owne: by one group or indivi.dual, 1`he Mayor pointed out that developing any further lands in the bay would not be economically feasible as such a pro�ect would require an expensive bridge or causeway. In reply to a question as to what would be done ta relieve the traffic situation on the Causeway, the Mayor commented he thought that th� City could expect State aid on the situ�tion if the traffic p:oblem was more constant because the State feels that the problem as not acute enough now to warrant the expenditure for widening the bridges and the approaches to the Gauseway. Replying to a question as to why the Planning Board reco�mended a park in the 500 foot strip north of the Causeway, Nfr. Ralph Reade, secretary af the Planning Board, stated that all the members of the Board felt tha� the area would be needed immediately for serving Clearwater Beach, as it would include such public facilities as a park and playground and a location for utility expansion such as a wat�r tower, disposal plant, a power transfarmer statzon, e�c, PZr. Harolrl Briley, Consu9:tir_g Engineer, commented that the area designated ior the sewage disposal plant would be ideal for serving the Beach, particularly from an economic standpoint as the present sewer line Yrom the Beach runs through this location. The Resolution prepsred by Mr. Harrison was read by ths City Attorney. Seweral corrections and additions were suggested by the Commissioners which w ere noted by the City Attorney. Commiss3..oner Strang moved th3t the Resolutio.l aa amended l�e passed and adopted and the proper officials be authorized to �xecute it. Motion wa� seconded by Commissioner Bohannan and carried unanimouslq.

LeGear, Mr, William H. Hartmann and Mr. Harry Shroeder, who have acquired owners3�ip of the following descrilaer� �roperty in C].earwater; TRACT A, HILLCREST DRIVE RESUBDIVTSTON, as recorded in Plat 3ook 19, page 9$, public reco�ds of Pinellas County, r�lorida This tract is located at the corner of Drew Street and Hillcrest AVenue, on the southw��st corner of that intersection, and was for many years known as �tThe Win�ry�� because of the location there nf an old dwelling and a number of ;rape vines. Ttie d�aelling burned in the 1930ts and the grape vines have becorae covered with weeds ana underbrush. The property is presentl:y zoi�ed R-2, and my clients wish to apply under the hardship rule for a change of zoning to R-4. For your information, they wish me to submit the following data to �ou: Parties in nwnership: All of tYie part�.es have been wintering and �visiting in Clearwater for a number of years, ranging from $ to 13 years, at the 'Fort Harrison Hotel and at the Yacht Basin AFartments. All parties are frorn St. Louis, Missouri, and have retired, or will retire shortly. Mr. Hohenstein is head of a real estate and insurance firm bearing his name. Nir. LeGear is a manufacturer o�' st�ck and poultry medicines, Nahich products are distributed nationally� Mr. Hartmann is owner of the Hartmann Nash Agency in St. Louis, and operates a large service station and garage in connection with �he agency, i�4r. Shroeder is a salesman for Johanson Srothers Shoe Company, manu- facturers. Construction conternplated: The parties wish to construct apartment buildings on the property whir.h will permit them and their friends who will join them in retirement tu live together. The apartments will not exceed two stories in haight, and not over two d�wnstairs and two upstairs apartments in each buiiding are contemplated. Nature of ownership; The parties plan to own the property jointly and operate it cooperatively. There will be no open solici�Gation for sales of the apartnents, since ownership is complete. There will be no seeking of financing nr mortgages,. since the parties are finarcially able to complete the project. Ad.joinin� propertv: To the north is located the Clearwater Country Club; to the West is located Fairview drr�s; to the South is located Center Clinic; to the Eas� are located dwellings. Mr. Otis An�ier, owner of Fairview Arr�s, has expressed himself in favor of'the granting of the change of zoning. The only possible objection could come from the East, but it is believed that all of those residents would favor the improvement of the tract, because it constitutes an unsightly view which has hampered tihe entire area. Improvements: Mr. Hohenstein has conferred with Mr. Mi.ddleton, City Manager, relative to cooperation with the City in aonstructing sewer and water lines, and curbing and drainage facilities to eliminate the unsightly and unhealthful opzn drainage ditch along Hillcrest Avenue. It i felt by the owners that the location, s?ze and shape of the property make it 4 hardship for utilizing zn any classification other than R-!� zoning, and respectfuZly request favorable consideration for a change oi zoning. Yours respectfully, /s/ William M. Goza (First Fsderal Building Clearwater, Florida) September 15, 1q55 The Cxty Corrunission, City of Cl�.arwater. Gentlemen: Thank you for tne notice of the Public Hearing to be held on Pdonday, September 19, 1955. As it wi11 be im�ossible for us to be present at this hearing, we respeetfully renuest that this letter be read at tne hearing and submitted for inclusion in any discussion and any minutes of said hearing. TYie present zoning of Traat A, west side of Hillc'rest Drive, south of Drew Street, is ft-2 and any claim being made that this zoning is creating a hardship for the owners is, we believe to be, absolutely fradulent. (GontinuEd) � � 0 �/9q CITY ��MMISSION MEETING 5eptember 19, 1955 (Continued) The fact of the matter is that the property owners opposite this tract, on the east side of HiZlcrest �riye, are the ones who are suffer�ng a hardship as they find that, due to the conaition of the west side of Hillcrest Drive wi�h its unkempt appearance and a ditch which stays full of water after every rain, breeding mosquitoes, they can not sell their property for even much less than it ori.ginally cost, This matter of re-zoning the tract mentioned was rather �horoughly co'vered at tw� meetings of the City Commision (the second meeting on March 7) a�nd also at a meeting of the Zoning Board. At the first meeLing of the City Commission which we attended, Mayor Brown said that a'�rule of thumb�� policy had been adopted in an effort to keep a"Buffer Zone" between zones R-1 and R-4, with which v,e were all in agreement. Due to tihe fact that we cannot be back in Clearwater before the middle of October, we respectfully request that this letter be considered as our ideas on the matter. PZease keep the present zoning in e.fiect. Very �ruly you�s, 115 North Hillcrast Drive. �s� Warren D. Matthews /s� Lillian �atthews August 24, 1955 Zoning Board City of Glearwater Florida ATTN: Mr. Leland Drew Gentlemen: I have been advised that Mr. Hohenstein has bought the property east of ine on the corner of Hillcrest and Drew and desires to build on this preperty two apartment buil�3ings each containing four apartments, and in order to do this must have the zoning changed from R-2 to R-1�. I have no objections to this change provided it will be stipulated that he cannot build higher than two stories and, as I have pr.eviously written, I think thi� stiFulatiori should become a part of R-4 rEstrictions. I have one furtner objection to his buildino which is a matter I imagine I will haue to take up with him as the present r2striction on all zonings T believe allows anyone to build within five feet of the property line dividing two pieces of property. If he were to build a two story apartu�ent building .five fee� fram the property line it would leave only 26' betv�een his building and mine, When I built I placed my building 21� from the property line and when I started construction on the new apartment building west of my present bui�ding I allowed k2t between buildings. I would like, therefore, to see l�im build his building 21' from the property line ins�ead of five feet and I would like to suggest that two story apartment buildings be restricted to beang 42', or pnssibly 40' apart, as a minimum.

The reason for modifying the se� back on Kipling Plaza, is that it is in szbstantial conformi�y with the exist:tng buildings, approximately 241 from K�.pling Plaza, and that it will Fermit the construc�ion of a�ry suUstantial and desirable home according to the plans submi�ted to the Board. ,'� C� D CZTY COMMISSION MEETING September 19, 1955 9�1 Eldorado Clearwater Beach, Florida Zo*iing Board August 31, 1955 City of Clearwater Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: The undersigned are �the owners of Lots 6, 7 and $, Block 4i�, MANUALAY SUBDIVISIQN We desire to build a dwelling on the property in accordance with the plan which is being submitted with your application. Present set-bzcl, requirements for the property are 25 feet frnm Kipling Plaza and 25 �'eet from Lantana Avenue. Application is hereby made under the hardshiF ruling to permit a set-�ack of 20 feet on Kipling Plaza and 15 feet on Lantan3 Avenue. k'e feel �hat a dwelling of a size which would be commensurate with the value of the pY•oper�y and in harmony with the adjoinirig dwellings requires such a set-back, because a house of the dim�nsions we desire and with the living area indicated ' by the plans could not be erected unless the side line resi;rictions were relaxed. Examination of the property will reveal that the set-back requested would not affect adversely the adjoining property, and we feel that a dwelling of the size and type to be placed on this property would raake it an asset to the adjoinzng property.
