Residents Appeal Cabana Club Decision

Five residents from the Save Our Neighborhood organization have appealed the Clearwater Community Development Board’s decision to allow Belleview Biltmore, LLC, to build a 38-room hotel and 165-seat restaurant on its Cabana Club site on Sand Key.They claim it would reduce the value of 110 nearby homes by an average of $75,000 each and would make an already bad parking situation worse. There have been issues with Cabana Club patrons parking in in the driveway of the Cabana Club condos, blocking emergency vehicle access, and parking in condo owners parking spaces. The sides agree that there will be some decrease of nearby property values, but there is disagreement on the amount. Experts for the applicant testified that the reductions would be in the 7 to 10 percent range. Save Our Neighborhood claims they will total $8.35 million.
