As you know Lots 1&2 of Tennessee Terrace under recent surveys are foun~

has of lace bought Lot No. 2 on corner of \'1ashington Ave. &Woodlawn to go with her

but hold same to make nic e ]a wn space.
I t:J"Wn Lot No. 12 '!'enne ssee 'l'errace next South of her lots 1&2 yet vacant as
lot of: 49 feet West Xrontage and have bought onto my lot 12 the North lofeet o~
Lot 13 also vacant from Mr. &N~5. Eyer \'lhose home stead buildings are all on Lot
14 as I tlllnk and believe as I lave had corners of Lot 12 surveyed and permanent
lot corner monwments escaellished.
My purchase of the North 10 feet of Lot 13 leaves only 30 feet Ii Lot 13
which will be too narrow ror a residence fronC,so my prope~ty is Che only one
right there on which a 'residence seems at all probalb1e tome and my lot 12&:.North
loft. o~ 13 are a few inches less than 100 f~. in 99.)2 East and West length,
~hich leaves my ~o~al area a little under 5000 scuare feet but only a little less.
I paid ~29, per front .foot for my ~crCh 10 feet of' Lot 13 Which is I
reali~e above rnarkeb Value and y~. & Mrs. Eyer Frefer not to sell me any secomd
stip of land even at ~20 per front foot and have planted their remaining part of

I have an off'er c.f ~850 .for my p"oper~y if owner could be sure to get a permit

Re:
Set back lioo of Lot 46.
E. A. Marshall Subdivision
Gent.lellJil n:
On behalf of ~~s. Olga Wickman, who is t.he o~ner of lot ~6 of E: A.
Marshall Subdivision and who is in the process of extensive improvements Co this
propert.y, I am writ ing tor equest a relaxat.ion of the set. back lines of this
proJ:erty ia accordance wit.h the attached plan.
'l'he carport which is to be built on t.he street side of t his property
is tor eplace a garage that now exists am will be torn down during the remodeling.
rhis ~arage is clesed' to the front line of the property than will be th~e~ proposed
carport. 'l'he purFose of this removal is to provide f"or the park ing of two cars
instead of one and to remove t8e enclosed ~ara~e that now somewhat obstructs the
front of the building.
It shouli be noted from the attached neighborhood map that ma~
properties along Sunset. Drive fail to meet the set back requirements now in effect
and. in fact, the set back lines in this old neiehbor hood do not coincide with
t.he provisiom of Lhe law. ----
The remod eling program will make a vast impro vement to t his house and
consequently will be of major benefit to the entire neighborhood. It is un$ortunate
that tpere is no other space on the property that will accommodate the two car carpoz
or- garage without maving t.he entire building forward which ~buld be a prohibitive
}rocedure.
We therefore rer,uest t,hat you approve tihis plan f"or the issuance or a
bui16ing permit on the grounds that;
1.
This is merely a replacement ~ the existing facilities and will
increase the set back rather ~han increase f"urther encroachment.
2.
~hat to deny this reauest would in no way improve the neighborhood.
It is a nei~hborhood in which the building line does not conform
with the us e.
Denial of this request would, in fact, be a hardship not only to
the prop8rty owner but to the City in that it would prevent
rehabilit,ation of an older and deprecia"Ling area.

Zoning board,
City of Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
A~tached is a plot plan or residence to be built on Lot 1, ~lock 7, Mandalay
Subdivision, being located at the North~est corner or the intersection of
Gardenia Street and Eldorado Avenue.
Due to erosion and the bulk head line established by previous comnissions it
has been nece~sary to locate virtually every residence built ~ithin the last
twenty years on the West side of Eldorado within four (4) to six (6) feet of
the siaewalk.
In view of the existing condition and the fact the present zoning ordinance
calls ~or a 25 foot set back from the front or any side street, it is neces-
sary to have approval, as a hardShip case, of a six (6) foot set back on both
Gardenia Street and Eldorado Avenue.
Inasmuch as all the exiBting residences are so located, I request approval
on the basis that. it will cause no harm or inDurYtD~ny surrounding property
owners and denial would cause the lots co be virtually worthless.
Very sincerely yours,
/5/ c. E. Jackson, Jr.

Re : Set back line of Lot l�.6,
E. A. Ma•rshall Subdivision
Gentle�� n:
On behalf o£ Nlrs. Olga Wickman, who is the owner of lot �.6 oi �:: A.
Marshall Subdivision and who is in the proczss o£ extensive �mprovernents ta this
property, I am writ ing � o r equest a relaxation of the set back lznes of this
property ia accordance wit•h the attached p1an.
The carport which is to be built on thE street side of this property
is t o replace a garage that now exi�.ts and. will be torn down du•ring the remodeling.
This gara�e is alesea3' to the front line of the property than will be thefnew proposed
carport. The purpos'e of this rem�val is to provide for the parkirg of two cars
instead of one and to remove t�e enclosed garage that now somewhat obstructs the
front of the buildina.
It shouls� be noted frqm the attached nei�hi�orhood map that ma�y
proper.ties along Sunset Drive fail to meet the set back requirements now in �ff�ct
and, irl fact, �the set back lines in this old neighborvoofl do not coincide with
the provisior�s of i;he law.
The remodeling program will make a vast irr,provement to this house and
consequently wi11 be of �ajor benefit to ihe entire n�i,hborhood. It is un�ortanate•
that �ere is no other space on the p�o�erty that v�ill acconmodate the two car carpox�
or garage without maving the entire building forward which whu]rl be a prohibitive
Ix o c�dure .
We therefore rer_;uest that you approve Lhis plan for the zssuance of a
builfiing permit on t,he grounds that;
1. ^lhis is merely a replacement � the existzng facilities and will
increa�e the set back rather than increase further encroachment.
2. `1'hat to deny this reQuest would in no way improve the n�iohborhood.
3. It is a neighborhood in which the buildir.g lir.e does not conform
Vaith the us e.
4. Denial of this request bvould, in fact, bP a hardship not only to
the proparty owner but to the CiLy in �hat it would prevent
rehabilitation of an older and depreciatir_g area.

The Board has made a thorough investigation {on the si�e) of Mr. 3ackson's
request and rPcommends that he be granted a llT - 7!' buiiding line set back
from the sic�,e vralk line on Eldorado Avenue and a 11�. �- Ott building line set

October 11, 1956
Zoning 1�oard,
Ci�y oi Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
Attached is a plot plan of residenc��� to be built on Lot 1, �lock %, Mar.cialay
Subdivision, being located at the Northwest corner of the intereection of
Gardenia Street and Eldorado Avenue.
Due to erosion and the bulk head lime established by previous coramissions it
has been necessary to locate virtually everp residence buil� within the last
�wenty years on the West side of Eldorado within four (4) to six (6) feet of
the sidewal�.
In view qf the exisi�ng conditaon and the fact the present zoning ordir�aace
calls for a 25 foot set back from the front or any side street, it is neces-
sary to have approval, as a hardshig case., of a six_ (6) foot set back on both
Gardenia S�treet and Eldorado Avenue .
Inasmuch as all the exis�ing rQsidences are so located, I requesi approval
on the basis thaL it will cause no harm or ingur yto�ny surroundin� property
owner s and denial would cause the lots Lo be virtually worthless.
Very sir_cerely yours,
�s� C, E, Jackson, Jr.
