vi\'eJ U. S. Steel - Application for building permit.
Dear Dennie:
In response to your letter of thi. date relarding the application to construct
a carport at South Beach Ill, I am writing th18 letter to conflrm th. agreement
we reached today by telephone.
It 18 not the City's intention to interpret Judie Driver'. dechion as limited to
the property at 1480 Gulf Boulevard. Therefore, any application for a building
permit on U. S. Steel property on Sand Key.auld be conaidered in light of the
busiaee. zoning ... it exiated at the time of allllexation. Accordingly, I have
notified Roy Ayres of thiB interpretation and he will direct that the permit for
the carport be baued immediately.
In diacueeing thie matter with Mr. Ayres he mentioned that he told Mr. Frank
Felix of U. S. Steel that the City would be prepared to act on the application
for a building permit on South Beach IV before this week i. over. Mr. Felix
notified Mr. Ayres that U. S. Steel intende to amend its application for South
Beach IV. Mr. Ayre8 r.eponded that the City would be pleased to allow an
amendment, and conaequentiy no permit will be ieaued on the application
pending U. S. Steel' a amendment. Any future applications will be reviewed
for their compliance with health and aafety codea purauant to the normal City
procedure.. Mr. Felix concurred that thia was ae U. S. Steel intended.
Again, let me apologbe for any miauaderstanding that might have arben
regarding this appllcation.
I look. forward to receiving a written order from the court.
Sincerely,
G. I . ) c-

Dear Don:
This letter is in response to your request to construct carports on the property
located at 1500 Gulf Boulevard, referred to as South Beach III.
In accord with our conversation, this i. to advise that I have no objection to
the i.suance of a permit for the row of carports located immediately north of and
closest to the building, with the exception of the four we.terlu-most spaces and
wall. With this exception, this row of carports is, for the most part, within
the envelope within which structural location would be permitted based on water-
front setback provisions. It should also be noted that the emergency generator,
ifovver thirty (30) inches in height, would appear to need to be relocated or a
variance sought. The portion of the four eaaternmost carports which project beyond
the setback dimension i. inconsequential and, in my view, doe. not require that a
variance be obtained in order to locate this installation.
The second row of carports proposed to be situated north of the first tier above
described rests entirely within the required waterfront setback area and cannot
be permitted without authorization of a variance by the Board of Adjustment and
Appeal on Zoning. If it is your desire to locate such additional carports, 1
recommend you make application for such variance. In fsirness to you, I should
also point out that my position would be to oppose such variance as a major departure
from the waterfront setback requirements that would appear to be without suffici.nt
jU8tification to warrant variance.
For your further information, in reviewing the file 8S to the i.suance of a permit
for the South Beach III building at 1500 Gulf Boulevard, I find nothing that would
exempt this site from the waterfront .etback section of the Zoning Ordinance.
Since the waterfront provision has been in effect since Jun., 1974, I a. un.ble to
determine why the site plan, which i8 the basls on which you are proceeding, wa.
approved if, indeed, it was, in contradiction to the waterfront setback requirements.
Specifically, such setback requirement. require that one sid.yard be ..lnt.ln.d
open and unobstructed without parking unle.. 8uch parking is d.pressed three feet
or more below the grade level of the adjoining stre.t. The site plan you left with
me clearly contemplates parking .t grade on both the north and south ar....

Dear Mr. Willard:
In accord with our conversation this afternoon, this
is to confirm the interpretation offered to you that
under the provisions of Section 34.01 of the City
Zoning Ordinance a community impact statement is
required prior to the issuance of a building permit
for a project whose combined development cost is
estimated to exceed $500,000; and that such require-
ment is applicable to the application by U.S. Steel
for the building project identified as South Beach III
referred to in previous correspondence as 1500 Gulf
Boulevard on Sand Key.
If we may be of assistance in reviewing the require-
ments of this section of the Ordinance or the applicable
procedure please advise.

relative to the above captioned subject~ we offer the following com-
mentsand information (please refer to your list of items numbered
1 through 18):

two (2) 1500 watt appliance branch circuits serving receptables only
in the kitchen arid dining room.
2. We are not using PVC inside structure.

4. The design will be changed to meet the Federal Flood Control
Law requirements.
5. It is our understanding that the design already complies with

prior to final release for construction.
With reference to the City Fire Marshal's comments, we offer the following:

Re: Building Permit Application Dated 5/6/74
Applicant: USS Realty Development Division
Project Location: 1500 Gulf Boulevard
Dear Mr. Bustin:
This is just to update you as to subsequent developments to
our meeting on July 13, 1977. U. S. Steel has been in contact
with its architects and engineers in relation to the matters
raised by the fire marshall and the electrical department at
our meeting. I am sure that we will have no problem in resolving
all matters to the satisfaction of the building department and
fire marshall so that the building permit will be issued without
further delay. I anticipate that within the next week a repre-
sentative of U. S. Steel's architects will be in contact with
appropriate officials at the building department.
Very truly yours,

Re: Building Permit Application Dated 5/6/74

Dear Ms. Lavallee:
I am enclosing a copy of a letter received from Mr. W. E.
Tripp, Assistant Building Director, which is self-explanatory,
and a copy of the captioned application which Mr. Tripp
enclosed.
In view of Mr. Tripp's statement, we must reiterate our
demand that the permit be immediately issued. If this permit
is not issued by Friday, July 8, 1977, or unless reasons are
advanced that sufficiently explain the City's position to our
satisfaction, we will have no hesitancy but to initiate other
steps to procure the permit.
Very truly yours,

Re: Building Permit Application dated 5/6/74
Applicant: USS Realty Development
Project Location: 1500 Gulf Boulevard
This is in response to your letter of June 2.2., 1977 in which you
request that the City issue a second permit under the application filed
by your client. As I have previously advised, such a permit cannot be
issued.
You requested that a meeting be scheduled to discuss this matter
further. Please contact my secretary and schedule a time which will
be convenient for you. With reference to the documents you have re-
quested, please be advised that any certified Minutes must be requested
from the Clerk's Office. A copy of the building permit can be procured
from the Building Department. Other documents requested by you in
paragraphs nos. 3 and 4 have not yet been compiled. I will attempt to
locate such documents and advise you of their location.
Very truly yours.

Re: Building Permit Application Dated 5/6/74
Applicant: USS Realty Development
Project Location: 1500 Gulf Boulevard
Dear Ms. Lavallee:
This firm represents the applicant for the captioned building
permit and we are writing in response to your letters of May 9
and June 6, 1977, in an attempt to procure the immediate issuance
of that permit.
Prior to writing this letter, we have reviewed the following
documentation and correspondence relating to our client's appli-
cation:
1. Application for permit signed by Robert C. Hill,
Project Engineer, USS Realty Development Division.
2. Letter of June 13, 1975, signed by Michael J. Paroby,
Assistant City Manager.
3. Letter dated January 15, 1976, to Robert C. Hill from
E. Blanton, Building Director.
4. Letter dated February 3, 1976, to USS Realty Develop-
ment Division from E. Blanton, Building Director.
5. Letter dated February 17, 1976, to Frank Felix, Project
Manager from Michael J. Paroby, Assistant City Manager.
6. Letter dated April 22, 1977, to Ed Blanton, Building
Director, from D. E. Simpson, Project Engineer.
7. Letter dated May 9, 1977, to D. E. Simpson, Project
Engineer, from Marybeth Lavallee.

from Frank E. Felix, Jr.
9. Letter dated June 6, 1977, to Frank E. Felix, Jr.
from Marybeth Lavallee.
The only reference I can find in the above documents which
corresponded in time to any action by the City is Mr. Paroby's
letter of June 13, 1975, in which he said, among other things,
about the meeting of June 11, 1975:
liThe Building Permit Review Committee decided, subject
to the City Attorney's review and concurrence, that a
building permit be issued. . . . Your building plans
are now being reviewed by appropriate City Departments."
All other and subsequent correspondence, I am sure you agree, are
only recollections and explanations of past actions; they in no
way attempt to make any official determinations. ' On the other
hand, while you may disagree, we cannot believe that the letter
of June 13, 1975, quoted above, constitutes advice that a building
permit has been issued or that the letter itself constitutes the
issuance of a building permit. That letter, as indicated, states
that there are two conditions precedent to the issuance of a
building permit, namely, the City Attorney's review and concur-
rence and review by appropriate City Departments. My client has
not been advised that either of the conditions had occurred. At
one meeting, attended by Messrs. Felix, Blanton, and Bustin, among
others, I understand that Mr. Bustin indicated that he did not
know whether or not his office had ever reviewed the matter and
Mr. Blanton indicated that his department had not approved the
building plans.
Our client requests that the building permit captioned above
immediately be issued. Please advise the undersigned when it
can be picked up. In the absence of such issuance, we request
the opportunity to meet with you at an early date and discuss this
matter further in an attempt to avoid litigation. In addition, we
request that we be provided immediately with the following docu-
ments:
1. Certified minutes of the Building Permit Review
Committee meeting of June 11, 1975.
2. Copy of building permit issued by the City of
Clearwater as a result of the captioned applica-
tion.

letter.

Dear Mr. Felix:
Re: Building Permit Application dated 5/6/74
Applicant: USS Realty Development
Project Location: 1500 Gulf Blvd.
This is in response to your letter of May %5, 1977. Please
be advised that the City of Clearwater does not concur with your
conclusion that another building permit should be grant~d to
USS Realty Development.
As I had indicated in my letter of May 9, 1977, USS Realty
was previously granted a permit, and, USS Realty allowed that permit
to expire. USS Realty then appeared before the Building Permit Review
Committee to discuss the possibility of issuing another permit under
the original application. You were told at that time that another application
would have to be filed. That decision was confirmed in a letter from
Ed Blanton to you dated February 17, 1976. No new application has
been received to date.
In the light of these facta, your position that another permit
should be issued is untenable.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ms. Lavallee:
This is in response to your letter of May 9, 1977, which we received on
May 17, 1977.
Upon reviewing the history as it is shown in our files, Mr. Paroby ad-
vised us by phone on June 13, 1975, that the City was going to review
our application for building permit since Federal funding had been
received and that the Marshall Street Sanitary Treatment Plant expansion
was then underway.
On June 13, we were notified by letter from Mr. Paroby that a building
permit could be issued pending: (1) City Attorney's review of permit
and concurrence with same and (2) review of our building plans by the
various appropriate city departments.
As time, transpired pending the above, we then received the City's letter
of January 15. As of that date, the City's Building Department and
Attorney had not reviewed our application nor concurred with the Building
Permit Review Committee's recommendation to issue a permit.
There then was further discussion and correspondence between us leading
up to the last meeting we had with the City Attorney, the Head of the
Building Department, the Planning Department and other City representa-
tives. The date of this meeting was May 14, 1976 at which we specifically
asked if the City Attorney or the Building Department had ever reviewed
our request for application as was indicated and required in Mr.. Paroby's
letter of June 13, 1975. Upon receiving an answer in the negative, we
then requested that the City inform us once this administrative process
had been fulfilled by the City. To date your offices have not responded
to our above request.

Dear Mr. Simpson:
Re: Building Permit Application dated 5/6/74
Applicant: USS Realty Development
Project Location: 1500 Gulf Blvd.
This is in response to your letter of April 22, 1977,
regarding the above captioned building permit application. Our
records reflect the following history with referlUlce to this application.
On June 13, 1975, your project manager, Frank Felix, was zmtified
that the requested building permit had been granted. On January 15, 1976,
the Building Director notified Robert C. Hill, a representative of USS Realty
Development, that the aformnentioned building permit had expired inasmuch
a8 no one had attempted to pick it up for seven months.
,On February 11, 1976, Frank Felix appeared before the City's
Building Permit Review Committee regarding the construction of the proposed
144-unit building at 1500 Gulf Blvd. The Committee notified Mr. Felix at
that tim.e of the Comzr..i.ttee's position that the plans submitted in May, 1974,
were invalid since the building permit had been allowed to expire. In addition,
by letter dated February 17, 1976, Ed Blanton reiterated the basic issues covered
in that meeting, to Mr. Felix.
Inasmuch as our files reflect the above-described series of events
relative to the application of USS Realty, it is clear that USS Realty is not
entitled to another building permit until new plans are submitted. I. is also
clear that the long-awaited building pennit of which you speak was granted
to USS Realty in June, 1975, and was allowed to expire by your firm. seven
m.onths later in January, 1976.

Request for Building Permit - 144 Units, 1500 S. Gulfview Blvd., Sand Key -
U. S. S. Realty
SUBJECT:
Attached is a letter from D. E. Simpson, Project Engineer, U. S. Steel
Realty Development, dated April 22, 1977 in which he requests a building per-
mit for a 144 unit condominium at 1500 South Gulfyiew Boulevard on Sand Key.
Also attached isa memorandum dated June 13, 1975 to Guy Kennedy, then
Acting City Attorney, regarding this matter. Attached also is a letter dated
June 13, 1975 to U. S. S. Realty, informing them that the Building Permit
Review Conunittee had made a partial sewer allocation for this property in
accordance with a policy approved by the City Commission.
Because U. S. S. Realty did not respond to this letter (June 13, 1975) nor did it
take any action to obtain a Building Permit based on this limited allocation~ the
Building Director informed U. S. S. Realty by letter dated January 20, 1976 (attached)
that the allocation by the Building Permit Review Committee had expired and their
plans would be discarded if not picked up in 30 days.
At the request of U. S. S. Realty, the Building Permit Review Committee had a
discussion with Frank Felix, U. S. S. Realty, on February 11, 1976Q The results
of this meeting were summarized in a letter to Mr. Felix dated February 17, 1976
(copy attached). This letter con,cluded that the sewer allocation to U. S. S.
Realty and their application and plans had become invalid because of inaction by
U. S. S. Realty.
Please advise as to how we should respond to the April 22, 1977 letter from
U. S. S. Realty.

Division
Dear Mr. Hill:
A decision on your application for 144 2-bath apartment~ located at
1500 Gulf Blvd. South, was reached at the June 1975 Building Review
meeting. Approval fer building permit was recommended with a Certificate
of Occup2ncy limited to 25% of the total units until the 25% has been
75io occupied.
As you know, the City of Clearwater is under a partial building moratoriurr
and each month a review board approves a limited number of applications.
It is a policy of the review board that a condition of such approval is,
that obtaining permits be pursued diligently, and that failure to take
out the permit within thirty (30) days of notification will be cause fOT
rescinding such approval. Since no action was taken by the applicant to
obtain the allocated building permits, the allocation of the Building
Permit Review Board has expired.
Your documents will be held in the Building Department for thirty (30)
days from the date of this letter and then discarded if you do not wish
to retrieve them.
Should you have any questions in regard to the above, please contact this
office.
Sincerely,

Building Permit Review Committee Action - Re: U. S. S. Building Permit Reque::
DATE:
June 13, 1975
'"
On June 11. 1975 the Building Permit Review Committee considered a request
from the U. S. Steel (U. S. S.) Realty for building permits for a high-ris e build-
ing on Sand Key consisting of 144 units. This request was received by the
Building Department about thirteen months ago. The Committee had deferred
. the request since then b,ecause of the uncertainty regarding the status of the
City's proposed expansion of the Marshall Street Sewer Treatment Plant. This
project is now under way.
The Committee was uncertain as to whether it should treat. the requ,est under
grandfathering rules. or to consider the project under current restrictions
pertaining to the 80-foot building height limitation and the current 28-unit
density restriction. The proposed building exceeds both of these criteria
which were not in effect when the plans were submitted.
The Committee decided that, subject to your concurrence. certificates of
occupancy would be issued for 25% of the units, and that additional certificates
of occupancy could be requested when those 25% of the units were 75%
occupied. The Committee could not issue 144 Certificates of Occupancy as
there are not that many units available at the treatment plant. The action
taken by the Committee is consistent with City Commission policy. and similar
action has been taken in the past by the Committee for similar structures.
I would apP,re.ciate having your opinion on this matter.

Dear Mr. Felix:
This letter is to confirm our telephone conversati.on of today, whereby
I informed you of the action taken by the Building Permit Review Com-
mittee at its meeting of Wednesday, June 11, 1975 pertaining to your
company's request for a building permit for a planned apartm.ent build-
ing on Sand Key.
As you know, your building plans were submitted to the City Building
~epartment over a year ago, "The City took no action on the matter
because of the uncertainty r I dating to the status of federal funding for
the City1s planned expansion of the Marshall Street Sanitary Treatment
~lant. This facUity serves 5and Key and the plant does not presently
. have the capacity to serve your proposed building.
Federal'funding has been received and the expansion is now under way.
The Building Permit Review Committee decided, subj ect to the City
Attorney's review and concurrence, that a building perm.it be is sued
but that Certificates of Occupancy would be issued only for 25% of the
units. Further, when these units are 75% occupied, then Certificates
of Occupancyfor the remaining units could be requested. The granting
of the remaining Certificates of Occupancy would, of course, be contin-
gent upon the capacity to serve being available at the Marshall Street
Plant. Your building plans are now being reviewed by appropriate City V
Departments.
If you desire any additional information, please let me know.
