Building Inspector
The meeting was called to order by Chairman'Batstone at 2:00 P.M.
Mr. William Nunamaker, representing himself, explained his request.
He proposed to create a watchman's living quarters in an existing
storage building. This occupancy was approved by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment & Appeals and the City Commission. Section 403-Mixed
Occupancy Separation Requirements 'of the Standard Building Code - was
interpreted by the Fire Marshall to be a four hour separation., Mr.
Nunamaker stated that the principal use of the building was sorage'
and the watchman's quarters were accessory to the principal use. -The
Board reviewed Section 403.1(c) of the Code-and after much discussion,
Mr. Nunamaker agreed to install an audible alarm system and smoke
alarm system plus a one hour fire rated wall with 3--5/8" of cellulose
fibre all the way to the roof.. A suspended fire rated ceiling with
611'of insulation will be installed in 'living quarters.
Mr. Logan made the following motion after considerable discussion and.
questioning: "Upon consideration of the appeal of William Nunamaker
from the decision of the Building Inspector concerning 625 Grand"Central
Avenue, Lot 3, Block 17, Milton Park, Clearwater, Pinellas County,
Florida, it appearing after this duly constituted hearing that there
are practical difficul•ties'and unnecessary hardships in carrying out the
strict letter of the provisions of the Building"Code Ordinance, I move
that such appeal be granted in accordance with the application submitted
herewith." Mr. Straub seconded`the motion. All members voted yes,
except Mr. Batstone"who voted no. Motion carried., Appeal granted.

The second case•was presented by Mr. Louis A.'Vanech concerning his
recently`constructed.elevated restaurant at-700 Bayway Boulevard,
Lot 24,.Block'•A, Bayside Subdivision #5, Clearwater Beach..
Mr, Vanedh is requesting.a variance from Section 703.1, Paragraph A,
Standard Building Codes which requires protected openings when
openings are within fifteen feet of the property line. This building
P. is constructed ab a three story building with a parking area on the
ground level, the restaurant on the second'level and offices on•the
third level.' There is a view of the bay from the restaurant level.
The.building is seven feet from the property line on one side and
twelve feet from the neighbor's building. Mr. Vanech proposed to
install wire glass windows in these openings, however, after reviewing
,the various types of wire glass, he was most dissatisfied as the wire
glass would obstruct the view of the bay and is inclined to cause
patron's discomfort.
After considerable discussion by the Board, Mr. Straub made the motion
that Mr. Vanech's appeal be granted and Mr. Logan seconded same. There
were two'yes votes and two no votes. Therefore, the motion did not
carry-.
i. ,
After the decision, the Board then suggested to Mr. Vanech that he
contact some major glass manufacturers to find an acceptable wire
-glass window.
Meeting was adjourned at 3:10. P.M.
