It is a long, narrow, two story brick structure located at the corner of Cleveland Street and Osceola Avenue, one of the major intersections in downtown Clearwater. The building has undergone significant surface alterations, but these are mostly reversible and under current restoration plans the structure will be returned to its original appearance. Presently the building has a flat built-up roof behind a flat parapet with a continuous molded cornice. Exterior surface materials are a combination of smooth stucco, brick and vertical wood siding, all painted white. The original brick facing is still in place behind the stucco and wood siding surfaces. The ground floor has azched openings with fixed glass panels along Osceola Avenue, the long side of the building. The original rhythm of the fenestration, consisting of windows arranged in groups of four, has been altered as many of the openings have been enclosed. The short side along Cleveland Street has two arched glass openings-the main doorway and a fixed glass opening similar to the ones on the Osceola Avenue side. An overhanging balcony addition with a wrought iron railing wraps around both sides of the building. The second story retains much of the original window configuration. There are three windows on the Cleveland Street side. On the Osceola Avenue side, windows are arranged in groups of four as per original design. Of the original five groups of four windows, the middle group has been enclosed with vertical wood siding, while two groups of four windows each remain as originally designed. The original double hung sash windows on the second story appear to still be in place, as some retain the irregular hand-made glass panes. Each group of four windows is covered by an oversized clamshell awning, appearing very much out of scale with the original fenestration. The ground floor interior has an open plan, with a staircase addition toward the rear of the space. Upstairs the space is divided into small offices. _ Original Aaaearance The Clearwater Evening Sun Building was originally faced in red brick laid in interesting combinations of horizontal and vertical brickwork patterns. Fenestration is arranged in groups of four double-hung sash windows on each floor, separated by vertical structural supports defined by a change in brick pattern. ] The wall plane of each window bay is slightly recessed from the main wall plane. Above each second story window bay there is a slightly recessed horizontal panel. The panel on the Cleveland Street side has a "Clearwater Evening Sun" sign inscribed in the panel. There are five bays of these window groups along the Osceola Avenue side and one bay along Cleveland Street. There is a simple metal canopy on the Cleveland Street front suspended by chains.2 Early photographs show three windows on the Cleveland Street second story elevation, but a later photo from 1952 shows a door with a wrought iron railing on the left opening. The same photograph shows that the canopy on the Cleveland Street side now turns the corner and continues along the entire length of Osceola.3 Except for the above mentioned minor changes to the original exterior physical appeazance, the building remained fairly unchanged until a 1976 photograph shows it having undergone substantial changes.4 1.

Soon after the Pat Lokey store occupied the structure in 1996, new oversized clamshell awnings were added to second story openings and the canopy over the ground floor has been turned into a wrap- around balcony by the addition of a wrought iron railing, further distracting from the original appearances No photos or records documenting the original interiors of the building have been discovered. A 1923 Sanborn Insurance map, however, shows a lobby at the front end, followed by a "linotype machines" space, a "press" space and a "heating boiler" room toward the back.6 Proposed Plans for Future Appearance Current restoration plans will substantially return the building to its original appearance, replacing the exterior architectural details and materials, such as the fenestration rhythm and the red brick finish. The interior will be rehabilitated to serve as lobby space and other functions related with the operation of the newly restored Capitol Theatre next door. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The Clearwater Evening Sun Building is one of the oldest, most significant commercial buildings in downtown Clearwater. It was originally built in 1914 as the home of the "Clearwater Evening Sun", one of the first newspapers in Cleazwater. It is significant for its association with the newspaper industry and as the home to some of the best-known, most important commercial establishments in downtown Clearwater since the 1930s. It is also significant for its association with Willis B. Powell, an influential figure in the creation of Pinellas County and with the Batchelor family, who owned the building for over sixty years. The structure also possesses significance as an eazly example of commercial Masonry Vernacular architecture and for its fine use of brickwork. Clearwater Histo Dr. Odet Phillippe is credited with being the first "white settler" in Clearwater, having homesteaded Saint Helena Plantation in the area currently known as Safety Harbor. Dr. Phillippe, a French Count, descendant from King Louis XVI, was a surgeon in the French army under Napoleon. Upon arrival in the United States he first settled in Charleston, S.C., but soon traveled to the west coast of Florida. He is credited with the development of the citrus industry, by planting citrus trees in rows for easy cultivation. Dr. Phillippe remained in the area until his death in 1869.7 Currently there is a commemorative historic marker at Phillippe Park. Another important event that led to the settlement of what would become the city of Clearwater was the establishment of Fort Harrison in 1841 as a refuge and convalescent center for wounded soldiers from Fort Brooke during the Second Seminole War. Fort Harrison, established in an azea that was named Clear Water Harbor, was shortly disbanded in 1842 at the end of the war, but its imprint remained.8 James Stevens, known as the "Father of Cleazwater," filed the first homestead claim in the area that would become Clearwater in 1843, subsequent to the Armed Occupation Act adopted at the end of the Second Seminole War. Stevens' homestead included what is now downtown Clearwater, while another homesteader, Samuel Stevenson, acquired the land immediately to the north. Soon after, James Stevens traded his homestead land to John S. Taylor for a slave woman. Taylor sold his land to David B. Turner and Robert J. Whitehurst in 1854 for $800.9 Turner established the first post office in 1859. The post office was suspended during the Civil War and reinstated after 1865, this time with Whitehurst as postmaster.l~ 5. Photo # 6. 1996, Clearwater Public Library Photo Collection 6.

In 1895 its name was changed to Clearwater Hazbor.ll The city name was officially changed to Clearwater in 1906.12 Clearwater was a part of Hillsborough County since the early days of settlement. Growing concerns that the settlers were paying taxes and receiving few benefits due to the inaccessibility of the area from the seat of government in Tampa, some 45 miles.away, led to a strong political move in 1907 for Pinellas County to be created. After considerable political wrangling, Pinellas became a separate county in 1912. Under pressure from St. Petersburg to become the county seat, the City of Cleazwater allocated $3,750 for the construction of a two story wood frame courthouse to give the city a greater sense of permanence. The courthouse was built in 30 days and Clearwater used it for the next 5 yeazs. In 1916 a $160,000 bond issue allowed for the construction of a more permanent courthouse and jail building. The structure was completed in 1917 and that year the Florida Supreme Court granted Cleazwater the county seat, l3 Development of the eazly settlement into a city with all the necessary amenities was swift during the latter yeazs of the nineteenth century. The first log cabin school house was built in 1855, followed by a more permanent structure in 1860.14 The fast newspaper was published in 1873, with Reverend Cooley S. Reynolds as its editor.15 The first hotel, the Orange Bluff Hotel, was built in 1880 by M.C. Dwight. Soon after Theodore Kamensky, a Russian sculptor, built the Sea View Hotel.l6 But it was the Belleview Biltmore Hotel that made the greatest contribution to the promotion and development of the Clearwater area as a tourist resort. Henry Plant, who developed the railroad that linked Tampa with the outside world and built the luxurious Tampa Bay Hotel, completed in 1891, expanded his interests into the Clearwater azea with the construction of the Belleview Hotel. In 1888 the Orange Belt Railway reached Clear Water. Peter Demens completed the first leg of the railroad, passing through Clear Water as it linked Sanford, 175 miles to the east, with what would become St. Petersburg, named after Demens' native city of St. Petersburg in Russia.17 In 1895 the Orange Belt Railway became the Stanford & St. Petersburg Railroad, part of Plant's railroad system. Henry B. Plant had already acquired a group of short-line railroads and created a link from Savannah, Georgia into Tampa.lg The Plant railroad system bought and merged in 1902 with the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, which later merged with Seaboazd Air Line Railway, later becoming the Seaboard Coast Line.19 Plant built the Tampa Bay Hotel as a destination for railroad travelers coming to Florida for a winter vacation. The hotel was an elaborate Moorish-Russian inspired fantasy, complete with domes, cupolas and minarets. The azchitecture and the easy access from the railroad stop were major selling points intended to attract a wealthy tourist industry to the azea. Soon Plant set his eyes on construction of another signature hotel, this time to promote and develop the Cleazwater area, as his railroad system expanded into nascent St. Petersburg. He bought 625 acres in nearby Belleair, because he considered taxes were too high in Clearwater.20 The hotel site, up on a bluff, afforded beautiful views overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The Belleview Hotel, later renamed Belleview Biltmore, began construction in 1895 and opened in 1897. Still considered today as the largest wood frame structure in the world, the hotel opened with 100 rooms, later expanded to 285 rooms, including a series of cottages for guests who desired a higher degree of privacy.21 It catered to a wealthy clientele of industrialists and the social elite, brought to the very doorstep of the hotel by a raikoad spur. The grounds, which included two 18-hole golf courses, completed in 1905, and a circular asphalt track for bicycle races, attracted golf 11. Hampton Dunn, Yesterday's Clearwater, (Miami, Florida: E.A.

His son, Morton J. Plant, completed the work and oversaw its operation. In 1914 Morton J. Plant donated $100,000 towards the construction of the first hospital in Clearwater, which still bears his name.23 The Fort Harrison Hotel, built in 1925 in the heart of downtown Clearwater at a cost of $1 million, was a consummate symbol of the Florida 1920s real estate boom. At 12 stories in height, the 215 room hotel was the first "skyscraper" in Clearwater. It was built by Ed Haley on land acquired from Ransom E. Olds, pioneer automobile industrialist and founder of Olds Motor Works, which merged with General Motors in 1908. Olds was an early race car enthusiast, who developed the nearby city now known as Oldsmar and built the Oldsmar racetrack, which he later traded for the land where the Fort Harrison Hotel was built.24 The hotel had elegant interiors, including atheater/concert hall and a penthouse ballroom. In 1975 the Fort Harrison Hotel was purchased by the Church of Scientology as its world headquarters. Such facilities and accommodations required city infrastructure during Clearwater's early development days to be able to provide the services, comfort and conveniences expected of such a growing community. By 1895 Clearwater's Cleveland Street was paved from the harbor to the recently completed Orange Belt Railroad station with crushed shells obtained from an Indian mound near the harbor.25 Access to and from the area had only been possible by boat prior to the railroad. Major improvements in ground transportation started when the first bridge connecting the mainland to what is now Clearwater Beach was completed in 1916. It was a two mile long rickety wooden bridge whose boards creaked and rattled as vehicles went over it.26 The considerably more substantial Gandy Bridge was completed in 1924, the longest toll bridge in the world at the time, greatly shortening the travel distance between Tampa and St. Petersburg.27 The nine and a half mile causeway linking Clearwater and Tampa, the longest at the time, was begun in 1927 and completed in 1934.28 Providing utilities was also of major importance in the development of Clearwater. The first city water system was built in 1900, when a water main was installed to service an ice plant built that year by J.N. McClung. In 1903 John R. Davey Sr. had the first telephone system installed, running from his Safety Harbor grove to Coachman's downtown store. In 1905 McClung had the first electric light franchise in town.29 Similarly, educational, cultural and journalistic establishments were important contributors to the development of Clearwater during the eazly yeazs of the twentieth century. In 1916 the first library was built with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie.30 The Clearwater Theater opened its doors on the second floor of the Bank of Clearwater building in 1911.31 Just a few doors down from the theater, the Clearwater Evening Sun began operation in 1914 as one of the first newspapers in the city. The Clearwater Evening Sun Buildine The structure currently known as the Lokey Building was originally the home of the Clearwater Evening Sun. Willis B. Powell started the newspaper in 1914. Its first edition, on May 1, 1914, ran 2000 copies, almost as many as Cleazwater's population of 2175 inhabitants that same year.32 Powell, through his earlier 22. Young, 60. 23. Straub, 94. 24.

Straub, editor and publisher of the St. Petersburg Times, John S. Taylor, future Senator and owner of the Capitol Theatre, S.D. Harris and Dan C. McMullen among others, mounted a successful campaign that culminated in the Florida Legislature's creation of Pinellas County in 1912 and the naming of Clearwater as the county seat in 1917, as previously mentioned in the "Cleazwater History" Section of the report. David O. Batchelor bought the Sun in 1916 and retained ownership until 1924, when the property was sold several times but reverted back to Batchelor when subsequent owners were unable to meet mortgage payments during the eazly years of the Great Depression.34 In 1924 the newspaper was sold to Oaul Poynter and the name was changed to The Clearwater Sun. David B. Lindsay and James R. Brumby purchased and merged the paper with The Morning Herald in 1927. By this time the newspaper's name was changed to The Clearwater Sun and Herald. On June 1928 it was bought by Nelson Poynter, only to be sold again in October 1928 to Victor Morgan.35 By then the newspaper had moved out of its original location at 401 Cleveland Street. The newspaper went through a series of independent owners through the years. In 1971 it was bought by Jefferson Pilot Publications, a subsidiazy of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, which in turn sold it to the Hearst Corporation, its last owner, in 1984.36 Its local home town format could not compete with The St. Petersburg Times and The Tampa Tribune and its circulation dwindled, going from 50,000 in 1980 to under 11,000 by 1987.37 By 1989 the Sun went from a daily newspaper to a weekly tabloid-size format, but the move was not enough to keep it alive.38 On May 4, 1990 The Clearwater Sun was published for the last time.39 The original home of the Clearwater Evening Sun at 401 Cleveland Street underwent a radical transformation when the newspaper moved out. The Clearwater City Directory shows the property as vacant in 1931. But the City Directory" shows the "Betty Lane Dress Shop" occupying the building in 1934, thus beginning a new life for the structure as one of the most important commercial addresses in downtown Clearwater.4o _ The Betty Lane Shop had a long run as a women's clothing store at that location, occupying the ground floor, while the upstairs was rented as doctors' office space. The last entry for the Betty Lane Shop on available City Directories dates back to 1952. From 1954 through 1957 the building was occupied by Bruce Taylor Real Estate & Insurance. The 1959 City Directory shows it vacant, but in 1960 it appears rented to John Chestnut Jr. Real Estate & Insurance. The next important tenant is John Baldwin Clothes, appearing from 1962 through 1977.41 The property remained in the same family since 1916 until 1977, when Helen Batchelor, daughter of David Batchelor, sold it to Rose Phifer.42 Biscayne Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami moved into the building in 1979. In 1985 Citicorp Savings of Florida became the major tenant, remaining at that location through 1990. The property appears vacant in the 1991 City Directory, but again occupied in 1992, this time by Fortune Savings Bank.a3 The next major tenant appeaiing in the City Directory in 1993 was Pat Lokey, whose well-known women's clothing store gave the building the name by which it is still popularly known. In 2002, while under the ownership of Ron and Angie Chacon of Task Management Inc., Socrates Charos, who owned the Royalty Theater next door, tried to buy the property to expand the theater lobby and to make it into a Greek themed 33.

The property was purchased by the City of Clearwater in December 2008 along with the Capitol Theatre to be managed and operated by Ruth Eckerd Hall in conjunction with the restoration and reuse of the theater.46 The Clearwater Evening Sun_Building was a handsome structure, two stories in height, fine example of commercial Masonry Vernacular architecture, built of red brick in decorative brickwork patterns. Brick or masonry construction was required by the local building code following the disastrous fire of 1910 that destroyed all the commercial wooden structures on the north side of Cleveland Street between Fort Harrison and Osceola Avenues, dtrectly across the street.47 The building's fenestration, with five bays of windows arranged in groups of four, gave the building a simple, yet elegant composition.

Per our conversation, I did not include the Affidavits since they were not signed yet. Please, add them to the Designation packages once they are signed or let me know if you want me to handle this differently. I did not bind the Designation Reports to facilitate your attaching the Affidavit forms once completed. I believe all the information is complete at this time. Please, advise if there is anything missing or if you need any changes. As always, it has been a pleasure working with you. Thank you for guiding me through the process. Sincerely, R.J.

From: Ivan Rodriguez [mailto:IRodriguez@rjha.net] Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 2:55 PM To: Clayton, Gina Subject: Historic Designation Reports Hi, Gina, I've called you a couple of times and haven't heard back, so I'm guessing you might be away on vacation. I have some questions for you regarding the historic designation of the Capitol/Royalty Theatre and the Cleveland Evening Sun/Lokey Building: • Should I do one application for both buildings or separate ones for each? At this point I've prepared two separate ones, since they are under separate addresses and historically were not related. • Should I name the City of Clearwater as "Applicant" or Ruth Eckerd Hall? I had listed the latter, but Robert Freedman thinks the City should be the applicant. If it's the City, whose name do I put down? Mr. Freedman thought it should be Kevin Dunbar, Director Parks & Recreation. • As part of the Designation Report, what source do I give as verification that the buildings were acquired by the City? Usually I would give Property Appraisers or Tax Records, but in the case of the City, I guess neither would apply. Is there a City Commission Resolution maybe that I could cite? If not you, do you know who can help me with this? • Since you are in the Planning Department, do you have a map that I can use to fulfill Part C of the application? If not, can you point me in the right direction as to how to get one? Thanks for all you help. I should be ready to present by the August 3 deadline. Ivan Ivan A.

Since you can demonstrate the properties satisfy three of the four criteria -they should be classified as excellent. Hope that makes sense.

Davey's Resub of Block B (per Plat Book H-1, Page 87, Public Records of Hillsborough County, Florida, of which Pinellas County was formerly a part]; and PASS Ordinance # 8118-09 on first reading. (HIS2000-00001) ® and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same. SUMMARY: This historic designation application involves property comprising approximately 0.065 acres in area located on the southeast corner of Cleveland Street and Osceola Avenue. The building was constructed in 1914 by William Powell and housed one of Clearwater's first newspapers. The building is a two story brick structure with decorative brickwork and is an outstanding example of commercial Masonry Vernacular. The Planning Department determined that the proposed historic designation of the building is consistent with three of the four standards for designations specified in the Community Development Code (Section 4-407.F.2.a-c): • The property is associated with events that made a significant contribution to the board pattern of the city of Clearwater. • The property is associated with the lives of persons significant in history. • The property possesses distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction or the representation of the work of a master, or the possession of artistic values. Pursuant to Community Development Code Section 4-607.F.3 historic properties shall be classified as exceptional, excellent, notable or of value as part of the scene. Based on the findings that the Clearwater Evening Sun Building meets three of the designation criteria, it should be classified as excellent. Please refer to the attached historic designation staff report (HIS2009-00001) for the complete analysis. The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its public hearing on October 20, 2009 and unanimously recommended approval.

The building was constructed in 1914 and housed one of Clearwater's first newspapers, the Clearwater Evening Sun, started by William B. Powell. Sometime in the early 1930's the newspaper moved to another location and the property was occupied by a retail use (dress shop) on the first floor and medical offices on the second floor. Over the years the Community Development Board -October 20, 2009 -Case HIS2009-00001 -Page 1 of 5 • property has been used by a variety of retail and/or office uses. The most recent long-term tenant that occupied the building is Pat Lokey, one of Clearwater's fine women's clothing stores. Architecturally the building is an example of commercial Masonry Vernacular with beautiful brick detailing and an interesting fenestration pattern of groups of four double-hung sash windows on each floor. The building has had significant changes made to the exterior including the application of stucco, brick and vertical wood siding as well as the addition of a balcony with wrought iron railing and oversized clamshells awnings on the second floor. Most changes appear to be reversible. To further downtown redevelopment efforts the City of Clearwater entered into a partnership with Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. regarding the purchase, rehabilitation, operation and maintenance of this property. Ruth Eckerd Hall will manage and operate the Clearwater Evening Sun Building in conjunction with the adjacent Capital Theater as a performing arts facility. Standards for Desi;~nation [Community Development Code (CDC) Section 4-607.F.2 and 3] Consistency with Criteria for Evaluating Proposed Historic Properties Recommended Findings of Fact Applicable criteria for evaluating the proposed historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building are as follows: • Whether the property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of city, state or national history [CDC Section 4-407.F.2.a]. The Clearwater Evening Sun Building has contributed to the history of Clearwater in several important ways. It has had a major influence on the social and community life of Clearwater both through its key location on Cleveland Street, the City's main street, and through its important commercial tenants. Of particular significance is its original occupant, the Clearwater Evening Sun, one of the City's first newspapers. The building has also housed several very prominent businesses with long tenancies including the Betty Lane Dress Shop (almost 20 years) and most recently Pat Lokey (approximately 10 years). Whether the property is associated with the lives of persons significant in history [CDC Section 4-407.F.2.b]. The property proposed for designation was the home of the Clearwater Evening Sun founded in 1914 by Willis B. Powell. Prior to that, Mr. Powell owned the Independent, a weekly newspaper founded in 1906. In 1907 Mr. Powell changed the paper's format and it became St. Petersburg's first daily newspaper, the Evening Independent. The newspaper's editorials and the owner's political influences contributed to the separation of Pinellas County from Hillsborough County in 1912 and the designation of Clearwater as the county seat in 1917. David O. Batchelor bought the Clearwater Evening Sun in 1916 and operated it until he sold it and the building in 1924. The property ultimately reverted back to Mr. Batchelor during the Great Depression and remained in the Batchelor family until 1977. Community Development Board -October 20, 2009 -Case HIS2009-00001 -Page 2 of 5 • • Whether the property possesses distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction or the representation of the work of a master, or the possession of artistic values [CDC Section 4-607.F.2.c]. After the fire of 1910 that destroyed all of the commercial wooden structures on the north side of Cleveland Street in the block between Ft. Harrison and Osceola Avenues, all structures had to be constructed of masonry or brick construction. The Clearwater Evening Sun Building had to comply with this new requirement and is an outstanding example of commercial Masonry Vernacular. The building is a two-story structure built of red brick with decorative brickwork in horizontal and vertical patterns. Its fenestration is arranged in groups of four double-hung sash windows on each floor. A total of five bays are located along Osceola Avenue and one bay along Cleveland Street. The building also had a metal canopy on the Cleveland Street facade supported by chains. • Whether the property yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history. [CDC Section 4-607.F.2.d]. There is no evidence that the Clearwater Evening Sun Building yields information important in prehistory or history. Recommended Conclusions of Law The Clearwater Evening Sun Building is eligible for historic designation as the property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Clearwater history, is associated with the lives of persons significant in Clearwater's history and possesses distinctive characteristics of a type, period and method of construction. Classification of Property Recommended Findings of Fact Community Development Code Section 4-607.F.3 specifies that historic properties shall be classified as exceptional, excellent, notable or of value as part of the scene depending on the number of designation criteria met. Based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law made above, the Clearwater Evening Sun Building meets three out of the four designation criteria including: association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of historic; association with the lives of persons significant in history; and association with distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction. Recommended Conclusions of Law The Clearwater Evening Sun Building is considered "excellent" as it meets the criteria established in Community Development Code Section 4-607.F.a, b. and c. Community Development Board -October 20, 2009 -Case HIS2009-00001 -Page 3 of 5 IMPACT OF PROPOSED DESGINATION The proposed historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building will further the following policies of the Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan: Policy 4: Renovation, rehabilitation and reuse of historic resources are encouraged. Flexibility through the site plan review process should be utilized so that historic resources may be retained and reused. Policy 5: The City shall pursue various strategies, incentives and planning tools that will assist in the preservation of historic resources. The historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building will further implementation of Strategy 20 of the Plan which supports locating a performing arts theater in Downtown and providing assistance, as needed, with land acquisition, land assembly, building rehabilitation and parking facilities development to support the use. The historic designation of this building will require any building improvements to be consistent with the design guidelines established in the Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan for the rehabilitation of historic structures. These guidelines are modeled on the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. It is anticipated that the historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building will strengthen the property's eligibility to obtain historic preservation grant/loan funding. Applicable Objectives and Policies from the Future Land Use Element of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan in support of the historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building area as follows: Objective A.6.3 -The City shall encourage the implementation of historic overlay districts, the maintenance of existing historic properties, and the preservation of existing neighborhoods through the use of design guidelines and the implementation of the City's Community Development code. Policy A.6.3.1 -The City Council shall consider designating historic properties and districts within the City of Clearwater; designations shall be consistent with the standards for designation found in the City's Community Development Code. Procedures identified in the Community Development Code should be amended to permit the City, in addition to property owners, to initiate such designation. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building has been requested by the City of Clearwater. The building is an excellent example of commercial Masonry Vernacular and one of the oldest commercial buildings in downtown. It was the home of one of Clearwater's first newspaper and is associated with Willis B. Powell and the Batchelor family both of whom are Community Development Board -October 20, 2009 - Case HIS2009-00001 -Page 4 of 5 • both important to Clearwater's history. The Clearwater Evening Sun Building is an historic property that qualifies for the classification of "excellent." Based on the above analysis, the Planning Department recommends the following action on the request: Recommend APPROVAL of the historic designation of 401 Cleveland Street, the Clearwater Evening Sun Building with the classification of excellent.
