These lots on the east side of Lincoln Ave. facing into
the Sears Store parking lot were described as vacant and
under one ownership" Location was pointed out as between
single-famiiy occupied lots at the north and south ends of
the block and abutting single-family lots in the east half
of the block. Housing .in this block was noted to be frame
homes of an older type. The Planner informed the Board
that he was hoping that both the north and south blocks of
. Oakland Heights could be master zoned, so that annexations
~ould conform to a master-zoning plan. Mr~ Wolle recom-

Recommended PRS - (presently zoned County C-2) -
General location was described as south of the southwest
corner of Belleai:r Blvd~ and Missouri Ave. (Intended Use:
site of Second City National Bank). The Planner informed
the Board that:
Frontage on Belleair Blvd. is platted.
Request was for zoning "so as to permit the erection of a
bank building thereon".
Banks wc:re a permitted use in the PRS, Professional and
Related Services, District~ His recommendation was for
PRS zoning..
The parcel becomes contiguous to the city limits through
inclusion of above Lot 17 in the annexation.. Access to
Belleair Blvd.. would be provided through this lot..

generally described to the Board as a strip 230' in depth
extending 330 feet north f'r'om the City Gu).f-to-Bay fl B"
zona at this corner.
The Planner advised that:
"
Intended use was for a motel (reportedly Friendship Inn)
which would involve portion of property presently in the
City and this additional annexation parcel.. Request by
applicants was for zoning commercial use or such other p~o-
pe~, zoning classification as will permit the operation of
a motel, gift shop, and other pertinent and supplementary
business pertaining to the operation of a motel..
He had talked with Mrw Weiss, sales representative, and with
an owner of part of the property, and had learned that
Mr. Wightman will handle this propertyw He had ,brought up
the point of a proposal for PKB zoning in discussion with
Mro Weiss, who, himself, seemed agreeable to this type
of zoning~
Representatives of the Holliday Inn people had been in
to see him to discuss design requirements and had seemed
agreeable to a 40 ft. front setback for their facility
planned for the west side of U. S. 19, north of the Howard
Johnson site,. even though it will be in a USn zone.
He had been unable to contact Mr" Wightman directly as
yet, so did not know whether applicants' plans will con-
form to PKB zoningy
The Planner recommended a fo~mal expression from the Board to the effect
that it would desire PKB zoning (as was the intent in setting up. this
classification). After some discussion, !1!:.~_~!es.. .!!!.ov~d "\h<?t. the BoarQ_

existing ,:md proposed development along the c:t ty limits And abutting

and restrictions were enumerated. There was a discussion of the in-
tent of the new par~way zoning classification as it would apply to
U. S. 19a The Planner referred to previous discussions by the Board con-
cerning the future setbaclc, development, and characte~ of U. S. 19. It
had been agreed that to accomplish this most of this Ci.ty and County
zonin g should be re la ted or the same. Mr.. \'1011 c re la ted that, ha ving
checked with Mr. Page of the County Planning Department, it was deter-
mined that the City should l"'equest zoning studies be made by the County
which may justify the County usage and application of their P-C, Parkway
Commercial, to this highway frontage along the City of Clearwater's
right-oi-way. Mr. Wolle then requested that the Chairman or the Board
-...
,
arrange to have a letter to the County Boat'd of Commissioners fr-om the
Ci~y expressing its desire to have the County make a study of this area
and work out something in zoning that would match the City's. After

pI~",- ~NAGE13. - ConceI"ning memorand\nns forwat"ded in regard to Board ap-
p~oval of two sign applications~ Mr. Kruse read to the Board text of
a May 15 memo~andum received from the City t1anager regarding these
sign recommendations as follows:
liThe City commission has requested that you please clarify your
recommendations for their approval or disapproval regarding the placing
of Commercial Adve~tising Signs on the thoroughfares of the City. They
were particularly concerned about the way that the last two memos on
this subject were wordedw In each one of them it was stated that "The
Board reaffirms its opinion that some action should be initiated to'
control (or even forbid) the erection of commercial advertising signs
on our avenues of approach to the City..
"Perhaps you should forwal'd to us your suggestions fop a proper
ordinance 'to accomplish what you would like in this regat'd. n
Hr. Kruse made reference to ASLA POlicy Nlj. 16, BILl.BOARDS, as approved
by the Board of 'rrustees of the Amel~ican Society of Landscape. Archi-
tects, Jan. 3, 1964, policy statement as follows:
"The American Society of Landscape Architects favors control.and
regulation of advertising signs which ar>e likely through offense
to the sight, to impair the value' 'of pUbli.c or private property.
Control under the' police pm'Jel~ of the State is recommended when
other methods are not effective. fI .

In response to a prior Doavd request for background material for
reference, the Planner proj~cted (by opaque rnachine) paragraphs J(a) and
J (b) from a Manatee County ordinance concerning removal or alteration
of signs and spacing limitations. He reported that to date he had not
been able to find a city ordinance -that prohibited commerci.al advertising
signs. Mr. Wolle discUGseo i.n some detail provisions of a proposal in
preparation-for restriction of billboards in certain areas (along a
number of streets that have stz'ip business zoning) where he felt they
would be out of character. Mr. Wolle stated that he would like to
, spot all existing billboards on a map, as the ordinance proposals he was
working on were based on the fact that a majority of signs are on-
premises signs.
