In July 1977, he moved his family from Brunswick, Maine and purchased a little known motel called The Lagoon on South Clearwater Beach. This small family-run motel was in a prime Son Billy and daughter Gerri location. At that time, with Bill Shephard St. Petersburg Beach was the place to go and Clearwater Beach was relatively undiscovered. Bill saw the potential. On the property also was a buffet restaurant lounge called “The Bank” and a long term lease with its operators. Bill was fine with that. “What do I know about the restaurant business?” he thought. The property needed a lot of work to get the motel up to a standard Bill could be proud of. The building needed to be upgraded from top to bottom and over the next several years he made drastic improvements. In 1988, with the restaurant lease coming up for renewal, Bill thought, “Why not get in to the restaurant business?” Experienced restaurateurs tried to talk him out of it, but he was always up for a challenge - and was it ever a challenge.

And, through the advent of social media, a winner that carried a hefty number of votes, I might add. Of course, competition is tough, with St. Pete Beach having won high regards by the TripAdvisor website last year, and Dr.

  • Goals, Objectives, and Policies Coastal Management E –1
    Goals, Objectives, and Policies Coastal Management E. COASTAL MANAGEMENT The intent of the coastal management element is to provide policies to guide the City of Clearwater’s coastal water programs with respect to such areas as the coastal zone environment, wildlife and marine life, utilization and preservation of all living and nonliving coastal zone resources, avoidance of loss of coastal zone resources, ecological planning principles for permitting development, and the protection of human life against the effects of natural disasters. Coastal disaster management is a coordinated regional effort in accordance with state and federal regulations that primarily involves the minimization of the vulnerability to and preparedness for hurricanes affecting certain areas of coastal communities. Recreational surface water use policies address public access to the water, and protection of working waterfronts, recreation and economic demands. Coastal Management Needs Summary The following summarizes the Coastal Management Element: Clearwater's coastal storm area is any area that includes the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA), all areas connected to the mainland of Clearwater by bridges or causeways, those areas at relatively higher elevations that are surrounded by the CHHA or by the CHHA and a body of water and all areas located within the Velocity Zone as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This area includes the barrier islands and land adjacent to Clearwater Harbor and Tampa Bay. The diversity of natural systems and development patterns are a complex environment with a wide range of issues to be addressed. Land use patterns are generally compact. Water-dependent uses, which occupy a relatively small part of the overall shoreline, are defined to be marinas, beach access, boat launch areas and docks, wastewater plants, and beach concessions.
