The applicant, Sanford Haggert, plans to replace the old shed on the dock with a
new one for his business, Double Eagle Deep Sea Fishing. The old shed cannot be repaired
after it is removed for Marina dock repairs. The replacement will be 13 feet longer and 6
inches wider than the current shed. Besides operation goods and freezers/refrigerators for
galley supplies, Mr. Haggert will use the building to store machinery and oil drums currently
located on the dock. Central Permitting Supervisor Kevin Garriott said the board recently
granted a similar request to construct a cruise office. He indicated the shed must be built
to withstand 110 mph winds. In answer to a question, Mr. Haggart said the electrical will
be installed according to code. He pointed out the Marina shuts off the docks. electricity
every time a danger of flooding occurs.
Member Walker moved to grant a variance from Section 51.32(2) Code of
Ordinance, requested by Sanford A. Haggert to build a new building below the required 1 2-
foot flood elevation at 25 Causeway Boulevard; Clearwater; which is owned by the City of

structure, and habitable space. Mr. Plisko said the board previously had approved a
variance for a similar request nearby. Lots were platted years ago. The base of the house
will not extend past the interface with the sea wall and the building will be landward of the
CCCL (Coastal Construction Control Line). As the beach is approximately 1,500 feet wide,
he feit the sea wall serves no purpose. In pictures he distributed of abutting properties,
the staircase to one house straddles the seawall. In answer to a question, Mr. Plisko said
access will remain open to the tie backs. He said the use of piles or spreads for
construction will depend on soil test results. He felt property owners should not be
penalized because of the sea wall's location.
Discussion ensued regarding City determination if the sea wall remains a sea wall
now that it is far from the water line.
Member Corcoran moved to approve the variance to the Coastal Construction Code
of Chapter 39 of SBC~94 requiring an 18~foot setback for a O~foot setback to allow
construction to the sea wall at 1006 Eldorado Avenue, Clearwater, Lot 8, Blk 69,
Mandalay subdivision, Parcel Number 2915/05/54666/069/0080101. The motlon was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.

<)
Member Corcoran moved to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of May 8,
1996, as recorded and submitted in written summation to each member. The motion was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.
ITEM #4 -Pendina Matters
It was suggested the City consider new rules regarding construction by sea walls
rather than forcing property owners to spend money and time to request variances for a
predetermined policy. Mr. Garriott said FEMA looks favorably on the City's current method
of sea wall and flood management.
