Zoning Board
City of Clearwater,
Mr. O. H. Anderson, Sec.
Dear Sir:
Oct. 11, 1955
At the suggestion of Mr. Middleton I am asking you to submit to the zoning
board my request that my lots in Fairburn Subdivision, soon to be annexed to the
City, be zoned for business.
I own lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12 in Block C, lots 1 and 2 in Block A
and am in contract to buy lots 1, 2) and 3 of Block B.
I now have established on lots 3 and 10 of block C a retail second hand
business. On lots 2 and 11 a plant retail nusery business, on lot 4 a storage
warehouse. On the front of lots 10, 11, and 12 there is a set back of 60 feet for
parking. 1 hope to build within 45 days a business building on lot 12 to house a
retail store on one side and a restaurant on the other. This to be a 50 by 50
ft building.
I have talked personally wiht the owners of the property in Block~ A, B, C,
and D and they all agree with me that all of the property in this sub from
Madison St. (shown on the map but now changed to some other name) north to
Stevenson Creek be zoned for business.
I respectfully ask that a decision be made and I be notified thereof, as
~ar as pOSSible in advance of the Nov. 4th date at which time this sub becomes a
part of the City of Clearwater.
Sincerely,
/s/ Powell McWhirter

Clearwater, Florida
March 2, 1955.
Memorandum to: Mr. Lelanu Drew, President,
Clearwater Planning and Zoning Board,
Clearwater, Florida.
It is I'Gcocnmended that your Board set up the area north of Palmetto and
west of betty Lane as either an Rl or R2 area as far north as the Quonset hut
now li~ted as an Auction House and the area from and includin~ the said Quonset
hut north be desi~nated for small business.
At a recent meeting of the Pine brook and Palm Terrace Civic Assn. this subject
was discussed and is a matter of srave concern to residents of this R 1 area. If
the area for business is permitted to extt~nd south of above mentioned Quonset hut,
it will be directly opposite a fine R1 residential area and cause a nuisance as
well as depreciation of all residential property in this district. A nice duplex
is located on Palmetto just east of the negro school and it is believed that buildings
of this type and R 1 residences could be erected in this area. While the above
mentioned district is located just east of the negro school, it is not closer, or
as close, to the negro school as a number of white dwellings just south of
Palnletto. The area listed above is generally bounded on the west by the Negro
school, on the east by Betty Lane, On the south by Palmetto St. and the north
by Stevenson Cr.
A small business area has already developed east of Betty Lane and north of
Stevenson Creek. The Area listed for small business is almost opposite this area,
if approved by your and the county commission.
It is realized that the area mentioned for your zonin~ action is now in
the county, but it is adjacent to and really within the confines of the city. It
will, in all probability, be taken into the city within a short time and should
be ttlntatively zoned. This matter is also bein'~ taken up with lJir. Fisher of the
county commission. It is believed that an a~reement or law now exists whereby
an area adjacent to the city and now in the county can be zoned by agreement.
Your early action on this subject will be appreciated.
/s/ Harold D. W~olley
President
Pinebrook Rnd Flam Terrace Civic
Association.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
November 7, 1955
Greater Washington Club
October 13th 1955
\ f
In Body Assembled at regular meeting at Pelican Resturant.
Be it resolved:
1. That in as much, as 90 per cent of our membership own homes in the City of
Clearwater, and that the Chamber of COlrunerce in Clearwater-was largely responsible
ror bringing these citizens to Clearwater-Florida, throu~h their ~littering
publicity extollin~ the beauty of Clearwater Bay, Bnd the Loveliness of the
Memorial Causeway- that connected the Mainland with the Beach,
2. That in as much, as the aforesaid Memorial Causeway- from Mainland to the
Beach and Beach to Mainland Eor the past three winter seasons, has been over-
burdened with traffic. The extent of which was often so bad, that it often
consumed an hour to leave the Beach and arrive at the Mainland. That to follow
the Plan as advised by the City Cornlllission- not only would the beauty of The
Memorial Causeway be destroyed- but an impossible situation would resolve from
this added flood of cars pourinr; into the no'W jammed up traffic.
3. That it is true- that the esthetic beauty of Clearwater Bay- with its Mango
Islands- which shelter some of our most attractive water Birds, has been one
of the biggest selling arguments to entice Home Owners to settle in Clearwater-
to stand at Cleveland St. and Osceola- and look down at the Bay-and the Islands
beyond- has by record sold more residents of Clearwater on buying their homes
here- than all other attractions put together.
4. That, Marine Engineers, have told us- that the Tides passing through Big
Pass- will definitely be affected to the extent- that new channels will have to
be secured before, boats of certain draft- will be able to ply the Bay with Safety.
This will derinitely disturb the Clearwater Yacht Club, it will also affect
Caroulel. As for fishing, well as this sport was once known in the Bay- it will
be ~one forever. Florida- the last Frontier- for the Sportsman- Florida and
Clearwater- with its beautiful Bay and Is18nds- gone forever- because of rabid
COlllmerci ali sm.

!JiLAND ESTATES
At a meeting of its members, held last evening, the Crest Lake Association
passed a resolution expressing definite opposition to the ISLAND ESTATES project

Attached is a plot pl�n of a residence to be built on Lot $, Block 263,
Carlouel 5ubdivision; bein� the intersecta.on of Bruce and Juniper Streets.
In view of the existing Ordinance requirino a 25 foot set back from any side

a 5 foot set back on Juniper Street, (Hardship bein that owr_er can't build

The prev�;ous ordinance provided for a 10 foot setback on side streets in
this subdivision and existin; residences are so located. I therefore submit the
matter for your aation and a�proval on the basis that it will cause no harm or

Dear Sir:
Oct. 11, 1955
At the su,�ae: tion of Mr. i�iiddletan I am asking you to submit to the zoning
board rny request that my lots in Fairburn 5ubdivision, soon to be annexed to the

I own lots l, 2, 3, 1�, 10, 11, and 12 in Block G, lots 1 and 2 in Block A
and am in contract to buy loLs l, 2, and � of Block B.
I now have established on lots 3 and l0 of block C a retail second hand
busin.ess. On �ots 2 and 11 a plant retail nusery business, on lot 4 a storage
warehouse. Qn the i'ront of lots 1G, 11, and 12 there is a set back of 60 feet for
parking. I hope to build within 45 days a business builda.r.g on lot 12 to house a
retail store on one sicle and a restauran* on the other. This to be a�0 b}� 50

1 have talked personally tiviht t:�e owners of the nroperty in Slocks A, B, C,

CITY CON�'tISSION MEETING
November 7, 1955
Clearwater, Florida
March 2, 1955.
Memorandum to: Mr. Lelanci Drew, President,
Clearwater Flanning and Zoning Board,
Clearwater, Florida.
Tt is recommended that your Boar� set up the area north of Palmetto and
west of Betty Lane as eitrier an Rl or R2 area as far north as the Quonset hut
now listed as an Auction House and the area from and inc].uding t he said Quonset
hut north be desi;nated for small business.
At a recent zneetin; of the Pinebrook and Palm Terrace Civic Assn. this subject
was discussed and is a mattPr of grave concern to resident� of this R 1 area. If
the area for business is permitted to extend south of above mentioned Quonset hut,
it will be directly opposi�e a fine Rl residential area and cause a nuisance as
well as depreciation of ali residential propert3r in this district. A nice duplex
is lacated on Palmetto just east of the negro school and it is believed that buildings
of this type and R 1 residences could be ere�ted in tnis area. While the above
mentioned district is loca.ted just east of the ne�ro school, it is not closer, or
as close, to t�.e ne�ro school as a numbei• of white dwellin�s just south of
Palmetto. The area listed above is generally bounded on t he w est by the Negro
school, on the east by Betty Lane, On the south by Palmetto St. and the north
by Stevenson Gr.
A srnall business area has already developed east of Betty Lane and north of
�tevenson Creek. The �rea listed for small business is almost opposite this area,
if approved by your and the count,y commission.
It is r�alized that tr�e area mentioned for your zoning action is now in
the county, but it is adjacent to and really within the confines of the city. I�
wi11, in all probability, be taken into the city within a short time and should
be tentat:ively zoned. This ma�ter is also bein� taken up with Nir. Fisher of the
caurity co�nmission. It is believed that az� a�reement or law now exists i•�hereby
an area adjacent to the ci�y and now in the county can be zoned by agreement.
Y'ou,r early action on this subject will t�e appreciated.

CTTY COMMISSION MEETING
November ?, 1955
Greater 4Vashington Club
October 13th 1955
In Body Assembled at regular m4eting at Pelican Resturant.
Be it resolved:
'l. That in as much, as 90 per cent of our membership own homes in the City of
Clearwater, and that the Chambez• of Gonunerce in Clearwater-was largely responsible
£or bringing these citizens to Clearwater-Florida, throu�h their �littering
publicity extolling the b eauty of Clearwater Bay, and the Loveliness of the
T�Iemorial Causeway- that cnnnected the Mainland with the Beach,
2. That in as much, as the aforesaid Memorial Causeway- from Mainland to the
Beach and Beach �o Mainland for the past three winter seasons, has been over-
burdened with traffic. The extert of which was often �o bad, that it often
consumed an hour to leave the Beach and zx rive at the P+Iainland. That to follow
the Plan as advised by the City Corn«ission- not only would the beauty of 3'he
Memorial Causeway be destroyed- but an impossible situation would resolve from
this addeci flood of cars pourin; into the now jammed up traffic.
3. That it is true- that the esthetic beauty of Clearwater Bay- with its Niango
Islands- which shelter some of our most attractive water Birds, has taeen one
of the biggest selling arouments to entice Home Owners to settle in Glearwater-
to stand at Cleveland 5t. and Osceola- and look down at the Bay-and the Isla.nds
bPyond- has by record so.ld more residents of Clearwater on buyino their hones
here- than all other attractions put together.
4. Tnat, Marine Engineers, have told us- that the Tides passing through Big
Pass- wi11 definitely be affected to the extent- tha�c new channels will haye to
be secured before, boats of certain draft- will be able to ply the Bay with Safety.
This will definitely disturb the Clearwater Yacht Club, it will also affect
Caroulel. As for tishino, well as this sport was once known in the Bay- it will
be gone f orever. Florida- the last Frontier- for the Sportsman- Florida and
Clearwater- with its beautiiul Ba}T and Islands- oone forever- because of rabid
Cocrunercialism.
•5. For the reasons as outlined above- The Greater V�iashington Club- by Unanimous
Vote- wiches to express its Opposition without reservation- to the Island Estates
Bay project.
