suggested that the fill could be stoclcpiled on the last finger close to the trouble-
some area and used in other locations. The Mayor also requested that the City
Manager with Mr. Kane, Superintendent of Public Service, investigate the matter by
personally going out to see "lhat is needed, whether our dredge can handle the
si tua tion and a1 so check wi th the ne\'i dredging firm in Tarpon Springs for an
estimate. COmmlssioner Bohannon also suggested cleaning up the area just east of
the i'lest bridge on the south side of the CaUSe\'lay where the small boats are launched.

The Mayor announced a Pub1ic Hearing on the paving of Broadway between Union
and Granada. The City Engineer stated that the street as laid out was not up to the
City's standard width but that it has curbing already in for most of the distance;
therefore, the paving would be 24 feet wide instead of 30 feet. He estimated the
cost at $2.28 per assessable front foot. Commissioner Strang moved after having
held this Public Hearing and having heard no valid objections that the project be
approved according to the City Engineer's plans and specifications and that the

" . ,:< i,
The Mayor aslced the C1 ty Attorney if he had any report ready relative to the
continuation of the Public Hearing f'or the paving of Turner Street from Greenwood to
Missouri Avenues. Th.e City Attorney reported that stalces had been set to show Mrs.
Marks the amount of property desired from her for the opening of Turner Street, but
according to her attorney, Mr. 11m. Castagna, she is not willing to give this land
without some consideration. TI1e City Engineer showed drawings of the proposed Turner
Street \'lhich indicated that r.'Irs. r'1arlcs was requested to give a i'ledge shaped piece of
12.75 feet along r.ussouri and going to nothing at the west end of her property \1hile
~'Ir. ~'J. A. Walker is \'fil11ng to give 4'{ .25 feet along Missouri and the full 60 f"eet
at the !tlest end of' tIle pI"',;ect. f'.lr. \'hlllcer had already given deeds to the necessary
land that he owns. The City Attorney gave the opinion that due to the fact that the
original Public Hearing 'lias advertised some months ago and even though it vias
legally continued, it would be best to readvertise completely. Commissioner Strang
moved that this Public Hearing be advertised completely for August 20, 1956, for
drainage, sanitary sewer and paving alld that bids be received for the sewer and
drainaee. Commissioner Bohannon seconded the motion and it i'las carried unanimously.
The Nayor requested deviation from the agenda for a request from the Light
Industries Conunittee. rl1:r. Jaclc Nartens spoke in behalf of the Citizens Corrunittee
f'or Industrial Development. He showed a tontative layout of the industrial property
\'ihich the City recently purchased on the east side of Hercules Avenue and requested
that the City Engineer study and malce reconunendations as to streets, drainage, etc.,
in order to expedite the sales of tracts to industries. He specifically rcquested
that one street running east from Hercules be planned and opened within the very
near f'uture to ma]m the adjoining land readily salable at a \'lOrthvlhlle price.
The City Engineer reported that the actual survey would have to be done by an
outside firm as lle has no regi stered surveyors on his staff, but that he 'would
speed action on it. Co~nissioner Bohannon moved that the request of the Citizens
Conuni ttee f'or Industrial Development be granted and the Oi ty f\1anager be authorized
to \'1orlc it out vl1 th the various Departments. Commissioner Strang seconded the
motion and it \'las carried unanimo.usly.
The Mayor announced the Public Hearine; on the construction of sanitary se1'ler
and appurtenances, including a lift station and f'orce mainJ to serve the area
bounded on the north by the south line of Tract A and B of Sunset Court Subdivision
and Tract 5 of' Jeff'ords and Smoyer Subdivision, bounded on the south by the south
line of Pierce Street bounded on the east by a line parallel to Osceola Avenue and
185 feet west of Osceola Avenue and bounded on the l'lest by Clearwater Harbor.
The City Engineer explained the proj ect and ShO\'led plans for it stating that the
total estimated cost of the project was $25,546.70 at $12.66 per assessable lineal
foot. r.Tr. J. D. Rippey, a representative of ~laas Brothers Nho mID a portion of the
area af'fected, was present with an attorney and expressed an objection when the City
Engineer estimated Maas Brothers cost at $5,126.71, approximately 1/5 of the total
cost. After a detailed explanation of the project, the Commission told Mr. Rippey
that r.1:tas Brothers otherwi se l.'/ould have to provide their mID lift station and
appurtenances at a cost believed to be at least as much and perhaps more than
sharing in this project, l'l'hereupon ~~. Rippey accepted the project. After having
held this Public Hearing and not having heard sufficient objection, Co~@issioner
Stran~ moved that the construction of an eight inch sanitary sewer and appurten-
ances, including a lift station and force main, to serve the area bounded on the
north by the south line of Tract A and B of Sunset Court Subdivision and Tract 5
of' Jeffords and Smoyer Subdivision, bounded on the south by the south line of Plerce

new methods of operation. He definitely objected to the City signing any contracts
or agreements with no maximum cost. Commissioners Roberts and Bohannon reiterated
their feeling as stated at a previous meeting that the audit would be of definite
value to the credit status of the City. Commissioner Roberts stated that it was
hi s understanding that the firm could not do the \'lOrlc under Phase 2 \'li thout doing
the audit under Phase 1. It was brought out that auditing firms cannot bid against
each other for work of this nature and that Price Waterhouse and Company to date
have not been approved by the state to work in Florida. Commissioner Roberts said
that if they were not approved, naturally they would not get the job. Commissioner
Roberts moved that a contract be dra\'m by the City Attorney using the figures
proposed in the letter of July 23rd from Price Waterhouse and Company as the
maxinrum f'igures and that the proper of.flcials execute the contract. Commissioner
Bohannon seconded the motion. Upon the vote being taken, Commissioners Bohannon,
Roberts and Brown voted "Aye" and Commissioner Strang voted "No". Motion carried.

to execute it. Commissioner Bohannon seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
Conunissioner Strang requested that the City Attorney dra\'l up a Resolution to
the State Road Department through the County for their consideration of the extension
of Myrtle Avenue south to Highway Alternate 19. He explained he would like to have
this ready for the next meeting and that such a Resolution would permit the State
and County to prepare the intersection of Myrtle and Lakevlew for the extension
of Myrtle straight south. He also stated that the Road Department had requested
that the City take immediate steps to start condemnation suits to extend Myrtle from
Drew to Palmetto so that it can be included in one project when they start vlOrk
on Myrtle. The City Manager was requested to have Mr. Ross Norton, City Right of
Way Agent, make a report at the next meeting.
Commissioner Bohannon read a letter from the City ~nployees Association
requesting the use of City owned property in the Bayview section to include tracts
on each side of Gulf to Bay Boulevard for recreational facilities. Commissioner
Bohannon requested that the City Attorney and City Engineer \tlOrk on the matter and
that it be discussed at the next executive meeting of the City Commission and he
further recommended that the Commission give the City employees a place for fellow-
ship and recreation. The Mayor appointed Commissioners Bohannon and Strang as a
Conmdttee to study the rrutter.

I propose to se~ the house 10' back from the lot line or a total of 37'
back from the curb on Crest Street, which is exactly inline with the Wm. Jack
home at the corner of Crest and Grove streets facing Crest. I a100 ask for
permission tio set the home 55' from the Curb on Drew St.reet, which is the same
set back as t.he house on t.he east side of Cre st Street, the corner of Drew,
facing Crest and airectly accross tihe street from my lot. This is not in
keeping with the house t.o the west of my property as it is set back only 38'
from the curb on Drew, but I feel that it would throw the whole corner out of
balance to do other than to set. my house back 55' from the curb in line with
the house on the east. side of Crest. ~his would make the best looking corner and
allow enough seb back from my South Boundry.
The wm.Jack home on Crest and Grove is in ~ine ~th the other homes on

It is the zoning board's recommendation that tne application of Dr. Schoetker
for the construction of doctor's offices on lo~s 17-18-19-20, block 2i, Ma~nolia
Park Sub. be granted for t.he reason that this property is faced on two sides
with an R-4 Area in which such doctor's offices would be allowed, but upon the
condition that a set back of 50 feet from the center line of Greenwood Avenue
be reouired and a set back of 60' from the center line of Druid Road be required.

The ~oning Board also feels the set-backs shou1d be required because of the P9ssible
future need of t.he widening of the two streets.

Gentleme m:
I have a no~ice of a request of Dr. George H. Schoetker to be permitted to use
lots 17, 18,19, and 20 in Block 24 of Magnolia Park for business use.
At the present time the property is zoned R-2. My residence is across the
street and removed two lots from the described property, and naturally I am
conserned with any zoning chang~ in that area. I have inquired diligently ~o
determine the mt\tr.e: 'of the structure and whateYer imp1"ovements will be placed
on the lots, but find that no plans have been submitted to the building inspector
and the Clerk is n~ in possession of such plans.
Many of my neighbors ha. ve contacted me wit,h regard to resisting tihe application,
and there are many who are away on vacation. I therefore sincerely request that
your consideration of the application be postponed until such time as all of the
neighbors can be properly advised.
We would normally be represented in this matter by my son, Robert Freeze, which is
impossible at this time for the reason that he is also on vacation. 'fherfore on
his behalf and t,he behalf of the residents I request a postponement of the
matter at this time.
Yours very truly,

to purchase the property described herein to be used for light manufacturing

5. The und~rsigned would further respectfully show that the present

upon ~he owner, and that he is entitled to the relie~ provided for in the Code
of the Ci~y of elearwat.er pert.aining to such matt..ers.
6. the undersigned ~ould furthef respectfully show t.hat in a similar
case which was taken to the ~upremel 60urt of Florida a year ago, namely, the
case of ~ity of Miami vs. Hollis, inlwhich the facts were almost ident-ical,
t.he Supreme Court held that "wh~re property had been zoned originally for
business purposes, and is loca~ed between a busy street and a main railroad line,
eviden~e was sufficient to support rindin~ that the ordinance reclassifying the
property for residen~ial purposes was invalid."
that in tihe Miami case, as in this case, the p~perty had originally been
zoned for business, was rezoned for residences, and on petition of the owner
the dupremer Court held that the property so situated, bet~een a railroad and
a main business arcery, ~as by its nature in~ended ~or business purposes. (See
Gity of Miami vs. Hollis, 77 ~outhern 2nd 833) The Court held in substance that
the reclassification was not in the interest of the general welfare, health, morals,
or safety of the public and was in effect confistica~ory and therefore void.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned respectfully prays ~hae the property aforesaid
~ill be relieved from the restrictions imposed by the present zoning ordinance
and tihat. it will be reclassified as business property, and for such other relief
as tihis Honorable Board may deem meet in the circumstances.

Improvements such as a ball field, horsoshoe courts, outside cooking grills etc"
could be built by the employees on their o'Wn tiDe, if city equipment could be usee

not int.erfere with this groject as it has been stated that ~his plant would
be on pumped in land. This area could be pumped in and could be improved through

Hon. Mayor. .and City Commission
City of Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
August 2, 1956
Under the budget for the year 1956-57, you have seen fit to delete all
but a minor portion of the amount formerly budget.ed for assiseance in the operation
of the Elk's Preschool, maintained by ~learwater Elks Lodge d1525. May I stat.e
tha~ the Clearwater Elks officers and members are well aware:of the financial
probtlSl1s inheren~ in a growing city such as ours and accept t.he loss of this
assistance with confidence in your ability to judge such matters in the best public
interest.
We, however, are also convince that. the great work which our Preschool
has preformed for many years is also of v1t.al public interest and must be continued
if at all possible. Thus we have thaen steps to reor:gah~ i~s financial setup
in ~he light of these new developments. We are nC1tl. confident that we will be able
to continue its valuable contuibuton to the people of Vlearwaten~ The on~y question
that remains unsolved is a permanent home in which it may continue to grow.
The buildi.ng, its contents, furnishings, and the location which is no~ in
use by the Preschool in considered ideal, having been adapted for its own peculiar
requierments over a period.of year~. In view ~f this, i~ is our request that you
tate formal action in donating these facilities and the use of the present location
for a period of at least one year from this date to the Clearwater Elks Lodge with
future\6e ot the location t.o be determined in the light of conditions which may
arise during that period.
We are now actively working towa~ds securing property to which the building
and equipDent may be moved and feel sure that your granting of our request will enabB
us to preceed with these plan.s t.o the best in~eres~ of all concerned.
Yours very truly,

my hame as follows.
I propose to set the house Z0� back from the lot line or a total of �7'
back from the curb on Crest Street, which is exactlq inline with the Wm. Jack
home at the corner of Crest and Grove streets facing Crest. I al�o ask for
permission co set the home 55� from the Curb on Drew Street, which is the same
set back as the house on the east side of Crest Street, the coaner of Drew,
facing Crest and directly accross the street from my lot. This is not in
keepin� with the house to the west of my property as it is set back only 3�'
from the curb on Dre�a, but I feel that it wo�ald throw the whole carner out of
balance to do other than to set my house back 55T from the curb in I.ine with
the house on the east side of Cxest. 1'his would ma�e the best looking corner an3
allow ennugh seb back from my South Boundry.
The jd�,Jack home on Crest and Greve is in line with the other homes �n

I have a natice of a request of Dr. George H. Sctw etker to be psrmitted to use
lots 17, 1�,19, �nd 20 in Block 2�. of Magnolia Park ior business use.
At the present time the property is zoned R-2. My residen�e is acr�ss the
street and removed twa lots from the described property, and naturally I am
consernea with any zoning change in that area. I have inquired diligently to
determine the ratx�re. of the structure and whate�er impnovements will be placed
on the lots, but find that no plans ha�ebeen submi.tted to the building inspector
and the Clerk is ndc in possession of such plans.
Many of my neighbors h� ve contacted me with r egard to resisting the application,
and there are many who are away on vacation. I therefore s�ncerely request that
your considerazion of the application be postponed until such time as all of the
neighbors can be properly advised.
We would normally be represented in this matter by my son, Kobert Freeze, which is
impoasible at this time �br the reason that he is also on v acation. Therfore on
his behalf and the behalf of the residents I request a postponement of the
matter at tliis tiffieo

Second .Addition to Belmont, in Section 22, 'i'a�nship 29 South
Range 15 East, as recorded in Plat Book 6, page $$ of the
public records of Pine�las �ounty, Florida,
that he ob�ained titl� to said property by warxanty deed from James J, Neal and
F'hyllis H. Neal, his wife, dated November 1%, 1952 and recorded in Deed Book
1I�05, page 329, on December 10, 1952, of the public records of Pinellas �ounty,

2. That the undersigned purchased said property and oertai�dditional lots
in the same vicin�ty as z business investment, hav2ng beer� inform d that the same
was zoned for busiress purposes; that snbsequently he was inforrned that the
zoning had been changed so as to make said property available only for multiple
dwellings.
3. 'Phe undersigned would respectfully show that t he propery is a triangular
strig running 250 feet on Scranton Avenue and from 90 to about 125 feet in
depth; that it is bounded on the north oy Lot 16 insaid subdivision, an the east
by �cranton Avenue, an unpaved street, on the south by Bell�air Road, a major traffic
artery and on the west by the right-of-way of the ALlantic Coastline Railway �ompany
that it is about 200 feet �o•m Myrtle kaenue which is no� being open?d up as a throu�

Coastline Railway �ompany; that on the ot her hand h�a has had several offers
to purchase the same for business purposes but that he has no� been able to
accept same be�ause of � esent zoning restriction�; that he now has axi of£er
to purchase the property descri�ed herein to be used for light r�anufactiu-ing

5. The undersigned would further respectfully show that the presEnt

his property useless; that this is a case in w hich undue hardship is imposed
upon the owner, and that he is entitled to the relief provided for ir, the Gode
of the City of �learwater percaining �.o such mattex�s.
So The undersigned would furthei respectfully sk�ow t hat in a similar
case which was taken to the SupremexF�oiart of Florida a year ago, namely, the
case of �ity of Miami vs. Hollis, iriwhich the facts were aimost identical,
the Supreme Court held C:�at '�where property had been zoned originally for
business purposes, and is located between a busy street and a main railroad line,
eviden�e was suf£icient to support finding that the ordinance reclassifying the
property for residential purposes was invalid.TM
`Phat in the Miami case, as in this case, the property had originally besn
zoned for bus�ness, was rezoned for residerces, and b� petition of the owner
the 5upremer. Court held thaL the property so situated, �etween a railroad and
a main business artery, was b;� its nzture intended fQr business purposes. (See
City of Niiami vs. Hollis, �7 �outhern 2nd $33) �he Court held in substance that
the reclassification was not in the interest of the general welfare, health, morals,
ar safety of the public and was in effeci; confisticatory and therefore void,
WHERFFORE, the undersigned respectfully prays that the property a�'�resaid
will be relieved from the restrictions imgosed by the �resent zoning ordinance
and Lhat it will be reclassified as business property, and for such other re�ief
as ihis Honorable Board ma� deem meet in the circumstances.

City of Clearwater, Fiorida
Gentlemen:
Under the budget for the year 1956-57, you have seen fit to delete all
but a minor portion of t he amount formerly budgeted for assistance in the operation
of the E1k4s Preschool, maintained by �learwater Elks Lodge j�1525, May I state
that the C1ear�aa.ter Elks officers and members are well aware-of the financial
prob�lens inherent in a growing city such as ours and .accept Lhe loss of t his
assastance with confiden�e in your ability to judge such matters in the best public
interest.
We, however, are also convince that the gre�•t work which �ur Preschool
has preformed ior many years is also of vital public interest and muet be continued
if at all possible. Thus we have tha;en steps to reor;�ani=z:e its financial setup
in t he light of these new developments. We are nau, confident that we will b� able
to continue its valuable contuibuton to the people o.f `'learwater.� 2'he on�y question
that remaitts unsolved is a permanent home in which it may continue to grow.
The buildi.ng, its contents, furnishings, and the locaiion wk�ich is not� in
use by the Preschool in considered ideal, haVing been adapted for its own peculiar
requierments over a period.of year;s. In view �f this, it ris our request that you
ta�e formal action in donating these facilities and the use of t•he resent locaiion
for a period of at leas� one year from this date to the Clearwater �lks Zod�e with
f.'uture �e of the loca'tion to be determined in the light of conditians a�h�ch may
arise during that period.
We a re now actively working towa�ds securing property to which the building
and equip�ent may be moved and feel sure that ycur granting of our reques� will enab�
us ta preceed v�ith these plans to �e best anterest of all concerned.
