Goudeau, MMC, City Clerk City of Clearwater PO Box 4748 Clearwater, Fla. 33758-4748 !'~' , ~ 2nr~ 11.1\ ,; Uo..,.<) Peter T. Manikas 11 baymont St #609 Clearwater, Fla. 33767 3/12/09 Re:Community Development Board of Clearwater, Fla. 3/17/09 FLD 2009-01001 FLD 2009-02005 Dear Cynthia: Please relay to the board that we would like to register our objection to the requests being considered, captioned above. We purchased our condo unit several years ago, and a major part of our decision to purchase at Sandpearl was the surrounding area, with its shops,accessibility to the beach, moderate traffic, and of course the reputation of JMC and this beautiful edifice they constructed. We realized that during the peak season with the tourists coming to this beautiful area, that the traffic would increase, the restaurant below us ( we face east onto Mandalay ) would be busier etc,. We currently have the issue of the exhaust fans blowing up to our balcony the smell of fried cooking, some noise, but we expected that was a possibility. We are concerned that with a nightclub, sidewalk cafe would exacerbate the issue. The smell of fried food smell plus stale beer blowing up to us would be too much. Add to this added traffic, noise from late night revelers, the combination would not be pleasant. We are also concerned that this situation would undoubtedly have a negative effect on our large investment. So, please convey to the board our objection to the requests.
