The Zoning Board's recommendation was that the application be approved according to the attached drawing but that no portion of the sign extend past the existing marquee. The City Attorney reported that Mr. A. T. Cooper, representing Mr. Daniel Boucher and others who have filed suit against Mr. Novotny and the City for an alleged violation of the zoning laws, had asl<ed him to call to the Commission's attention the fact that he was objecting to the granting of this application on the grounds that the legality of the marquee itself is now in Court, and if the Court rules the perm:l.t for the marquee is invalid, that the sign on top the marquee would increase the damages suffered by his client. It was the City Attorney's opinion that according to law the sign could be put there whether the marquee was there or not. It was the consensus or opinion that the matter should be referred bacl{ to the Building Inspector, and that if the sign conforms to the laws and ordinances governing signs, then he can act accordingly. ^ petition was presented from Mr. R. A. Dempsey, Jr., and Mr. Sam Jerkins, owners of property on both sides of Shore Avenue from Dempsey Street to Lake Belleview, requesting that Shore Avenue be vacated in that area as it had never been opened for public use. The City Engineer's report showed that there were no utilities in this street but recommended that the City should be reluctant to give up any waterfront property. Commissioner Bohannon recommended that the matter be referred to the Pa~cs Committee and the Planning Board to work on and d~scuss the possibility of acquiring some of' the property adjacent to the lalce for a park. There was some discussion as to whether this was a private lake or whether the public had access to it through the street ends. Comrrdssioner Strang moved that the matter be referred to the Engineering Department ror a map Showing property ownerships and brought bacl{ to the Cornrrdssion for a policy decision. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously. A letter was read from Mr. Hallard J. Greer, attorney in St. Petersburg, presenting a request from Mr. Robert Creal ~or a zoning change on Lot 12, Block 3, C. E. Jackson Subdivision, to permit the erection of a funeral home. The Zoning Board'S recommendation was that the application be granted as the lot adjoins a business area. BY' consent, the City Manager was directed to set the request up for a Public Hearing under the hardship proviSions in the Zoning Ordinance. The City Manager said he had no report to malce with reference to the request for a rate increase by Peninsular Telephone Company as he had not received a reply from the Chamber of Commerce or the Merchants Association as to their attitude and that the City Managers or other cities he had contacted had not met with their respective City COIMllssions on the subject yet. By consent, the matter was deferred to the ppecial meeting on WedneSday, June 27, 1956. Commissioner Strang left the meeting at 3:35 P.M. The City Attorney presented f'or its first reading Ordinance 712 declaring the City's intention to annex acreage to be lcno\'ffi as East Druid Estates Subdivision. He read the Ordinance in full.

The City Manager requested authority to proceed with the sale to 1\.erosonic Instruments Corporation of a portion or City property fronting on Hercules Avenue immediately south of the acreage recently sold to Metal Industries, Inc. The Manager suggested that the part under lease to the Pistol Club be taken out of the proposed area to be sold so it would be necessary to change the west boundary line. It was pointed out that the Commission had formerly discussed selling the land at $1,000.00 an acre, the same price as that sold to Metal Industries, Inc. Cornmdssioner Roberts moved that the City Attorney and various other City officials proceed with the preparation of contract for sale of the property to Aerosonic Instrument Corporation and order the title insurance on same. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously. Mr. R. W. Spragins, Fiscal Agent, made a progress report on the feasibility survey for the proposed second Causeway and said the Engineers indicated the feasi- bility report would be favorable.

He said the group considered the fol1m'ling a fair solution of the project paving: 1. That the City pay one-half the cost of paving the area adjacent to West Street (Which is on the East side of the Project) which said pavement is supposed to be 24' wide I'll th a concrete breaker strip. 2. That all alleys be paved to a width of 12'. 3. Alleys extended through the. parking area \'1111 be paved 12 I . 4. The o\~ers will post in escrow, the estimated cost of construction. 5. The City wi11 ask for bids on July 16th or as near thereafter as possible. 6. The Ovmers reserve the right to wi thdra\'l ~rom the proposition in the event that they are unable to post the estimated cost of the bid -- it being under- stood that an agreement of FHR and Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N.J., is necessary. 7.

We have a one car garage, with can' port on side, and would li~e permission to build a three room apartment over it. The rooms would be living room, bedroom, and bath. ~his is not, and will no~ be for rental purposes.

My Aunt, who is 73 years of age, took care of me, from a littl~ child, through high school, so I feel that I own her a great deal. My parents died when I was small. She now lives in Michigan, and wants to come here to live. We do not wish her t.o live in the same house wich us, but do want her to be ' clese to us, she is not able to live alone, I have to go to Michigan on 6/23/56 to see about getting her moved down hereo The place would be for her. It no doube would be better for her to live on the ground floor, but we cannot arrange it that way. For the present she can go up and down stairs well, and should it come to where she cannot, by having this additional room, we can easily give up some of our own house to make it convenient for her to live there. She would be eating with us, so there will be no kitchen. I am enclosing a very crude sketch of this, but if permission is granted, a better.sketch will follow.

'1'hese are the only vacant lots remaining in this b]_ock and as they are in the middle of the block wi�h houses on both sided, T would like to keep the proposed two houses to be built in line with all the others.

We do noc wish her to live in the same house with us, but do want her to be clese ta us, she is not able to live alone, I have to go to Michigan on 6/23/56 to see about getting her moved down here, The place would be for her. It no d;oube would be be�Ler for her to live on the ground floor, but we cannot arrange it thati way. For t he present she can go up and down stairs well, and should it come to where she cannot, by havi$g this additional room, we can easily give up some of our own house to make it convenient for her to live t here. She would be eating with us, se there will be no kitchen. I am enclosing a very crude sketch of this, but if permission is granted, a better.sketcn will follow.
