TREASURE ISLAND - The Treasure Island Beach Resort, Treasure Island’s biggest beachfront hotel development in several years, is slated to open in February or March 2016, just in time for spring visitors to enjoy the luxurious allsuite accommodations.

The owners of the development, Ocean Properties Ltd, recently struck a deal with the Treasure Island City Commission that will allow for the construction of a tiki bar, fire pits and portable restrooms on the public prop-

erty behind the 77-unit resort. The property abuts the city’s mile-long beach

trail.

The tiki bar area, which will be open to the public, will serve food and beverages, and host live music.

A mobile trailer, which can be quickly removed from the area in the event of inclement weather, will be configured as a public restroom.

The five-story hotel has been welcomed by local tourism officials, and hailed by city officials as a “win-win” for the community and visiors alike. The hotel is located at 10800 Gulf Blvd.

In Brief

By Scott Lancaster

St. Pete Beach commissioners will ask voters for a raise

Treasure Island says no to permanent closure of city street

ST. PETE BEACH - St. Pete Beach commissioners recently agreed to pass an ordinance that would increase commissioners’ salaries from $400 a month to $800 a month.

The proposal will be put to the voters on the March 15 ballot.

Although commissioners’ salaries would increase by 100 percent, if approved, the big winner in the ordinance is the city’s mayor, whose salary will increase from $600 a month to $1,600 a month, or $19,200 per year, up from $7,200 annually.

The annual expenditure for all commission salaries would more than double, to over $57,000 a year, a figure that some say is out of line with other local commission salaries.

TREASURE ISLAND - The owners of Crystal Palms Beach Resort, located at 11605 Gulf Blvd., recently purchased additional land to the east, with the intention of expanding the resort with 23 more rental units.

However, in order to make this happen, The Edwards Group says it needs to permanently close a section of First Street East between 116th and 117th avenues, a move that the city’s Planning and Zoning Board originally approved.

That is, until Isle of Capri residents caught wind of the plan and voiced their concerns to the commission, prompting the city commission to shoot down the request, citing the inconvenience to area residents.

midbeachnews IRB residents win battle against manatee speed zones

By Beth Ludwig INDIAN ROCKS BEACH - It looks like there may finally be a resolution to the manatee speed zoning issue that has, at times, been vehemently discussed between residents of Indian Rocks Beach and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

There are two basins in the Intracoastal Waterway north of 12th Avenue that have been the topic of numerous debates, with the majority of residents voicing the desire to have the basins be exempt from the lowspeed boating zones proposed by the FWC. Since proposed speed regulations elsewhere can’t be put in place until this issue is resolved, FWC staff has now recommended to exclude the basins from the low-speed zones, thus reverting back to the zones that were proposed in December 2014.

As part of the agenda for the FWC’s November meeting in Panama City Beach, FWC staff said, “Even though the rule challenges concern only these two basins, they have prevented the entire rule from being

finalized and are thus affecting manatee protection in a much larger area. Excluding the two basins is expected to resolve the rule challenges and allow the entire rule action to move forward.”

According to the FWC, the rule challenges

In Brief Harris Fine Jewelry opens for business with rough rock showroom INDIAN SHORES - Owned and operated by mother and son Wanedda and Bradley Harris, Harris Fine Jewelry has just opened its doors at 19705 Gulf Blvd. in Indian Shores, offering exclusive lines of fine jewelry, detailed diamond appraisals, watch and jewelry repairs and a fully stocked showroom, displaying everything from GIA graded diamonds and Italian made fine gold jewelry to both loose and mounted colored gemstones.

will still need to be reseolved before the rule can be filed for adoption, but staff expects this to happen by early 2016.

By Beth Ludwig the perfect purchase for that special someone in your life.

Together with his wife Kelley, mother Wanedda, and father Carl Harris, the team has worked to design and develop a unique rough rock showroom, where they display some of the world's most precious gemstones as they appear when they first breach the surface of the earth through a number of mines throughout the world, before they are transformed into the exquisite fine jewelry and loose stone pieces you will also find on display in the showroom.

For more information, call Bradley at 727-315-4910.

Indian Shores prepares for March election INDIAN SHORES – In advance of the March 15 Indian Shores municipal election, the town is requiring residents interested in throwing their hats into the ring to register with the town clerk between Dec. 4 and Dec. 11.

In order to qualify as a candidate for one of the two seats up for grabs on the town council, residents need to submit fees in the amount of $78.12 to the town clerk in the form of a check written from their campaign account.

CLEARWATER BEACH - Clearwater police have released surveillance video footage that shows three suspects valdalizing one of Clearwater Beach’s dolphin statues in the overnight hours of Oct. 21. The dolphin is located at Barefoot Beach House, 332 S. Gulfview Blvd. in Clearwater Beach.

The three suspects took turns punching and kicking the fiberglass statue,

causing it to topple from its pedestal and sustain more than $1,300 in damage. At least one suspect filmed the vandalism with his cell phone.

Clearwater police detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call Clearwater Police at 727562-4242, or email tips@myclearwater.com.

BELLEAIR BEACH - In the ongoing discussion about the undergrounding of utilities in Belleair Beach’s neighborhoods, progress is being made.

Undergrounding of utilities along Gulf Boulevard will be paid for with money from the county’s beautification fund. However, residents have expressed a desire for undergrounding on the city’s neighborhood streets, and this is a whole ‘nother animal that will require a financial contribution from residents.

Community Services Director Allen Godfrey has been in contact with Duke Energy and said he is expecting cost estimates this month.

According to Godfrey, the city would

By Jason Coffman be on the hook to cover the actual cost of the undergrounding, while residents would pay to have the new service connected to their houses.

Diver dies after heart attack in the Gulf of Mexico CLEARWATER BEACH - The Coast Guard and Clearwater Fire and Rescue boats responded to an emergency call in the Gulf of Mexico about five miles off the coast of Clearwater Beach last month, when a 37-year-old diver suffered a heart attack.

The man was transported to the Clearwater Marina via fire boat, and was then transported to the hospital in critical condition. Officials said the man later died. His name was not released.

Monarca’s on the Beach A Cape Coral favorite comes to S.P.B.

W

hat is it about Mexican food that brings hungry bellies out of the woodwork in droves? Simple. It tastes damn good. I mean, come on, people. Let's admit it. Who doesn't love a sizzling fajita with steak or chicken, topped with tons of cheese, sour cream, guacamole, fresh tomatoes and shredded lettuce, or a fully stuffed fat burrito or chimichanga?

Not that you care, but cheese is my weakness. I freaking love the stuff.

But add it to any type of Mexican entrée and I'm a sucker to boot. Tack on a cold Corona with a wedge of lime and I'm yours for life.

Obviously the partners of the new Monarca's on the Beach Mexican Restaurant in St. Pete Beach are well aware that there are millions of folks like me traveling the beaches of St. Pete Beach who can't live without their weekly, or sometimes daily, dose of delicious Mexican food.

The partnership of Arturo Brawn, Claudia Johnson, Guillermo Cuevas and Stephanie Stout has teamed up to fill one of the largest voids in St.

Pete Beach history. OK, maybe not history, but you get my point.

Now, don't get me wrong. If you don't deliver with damn good food, great atmosphere and impeccable service, us Mexican addicts will look elsewhere to get our fix, but have no fear, my fellow Mexican food lovers, Monarca's does more than deliver. No, I don't mean they actually deliver the food. They deliver, they hit the mark, they have hit a home run.

For starters, the exterior and interior of the new Mexican restaurant will blow you away. They truly kicked ass on the design. The exterior is the bomb and the interior is furnished with custom made tables and chairs straight from Mexico.

Truthfully, words

Monarca’s on the Beach 4393 Gulf Blvd.

St. Pete Beach 727-317-4971

just don't do the place justice.

You have to go see for yourself. Oh, and while you are there be sure to stay for a cheesy chimichanga, nachos, faji-

tas, burritos, tacos or any of their other delicious items on the menu, including freshly prepared tableside guac.

Monarca's has all of the classic Mexican favorites, plus especialidades de la casa, such as Monarca's Style Beef Barbacoa (slowly cooked seasoned beef, served with rice and beans, corn tortillas and res salsa); Huarache Michoacano (a specialty Michoacan dish, consisting of thick oval corn tortillas filled with beans,

finely chopped onions, tomatillo sauce and tip steak, sprinkled with Mexican cheese); Camarones a la Diabla (sautéed jumbo shrimp with special red tomato sauce consisting of chipotle pepper, garlic, olive oil and white wine); and Carnitas Uruapan Style (deep fried pork carnitas, served with rice, beans, pico de gallo, a small salad and corn tortillas) and Molcajete Monarca’s Supreme (tender grilled beef, chicken, shrimp and Mexican chorizo, served with shredded lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, rice and beans, and corn or flour tortillas.

Did I mention Monaca's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner? Yes, I did say breakfast. It's five o'clock somewhere, let the fiesta begin!

Restaurant News

O

cean Breeze Grill, located at 14601 Gulf Blvd. in Madeira Beach, has reopened after a grill fire forced the restaurant to close for repairs in late October.

Not only has the restaurant reopened, Ocean Breeze has also added a handpainted “Old Florida” style outside bar on the patio, complete with fantastic drink prices and dining specials, including their weekend breakfast buffet that even comes with a free Bloody Mary. Now, how are you going to beat that?

For more information, call 727-954-6976 or visit oceanbreezegrill.com.

Selene Fresh Fare & Bar in St. Pete Beach, at the former Village Inn location, 4945 Gulf Blvd., continues

to make extensive renovations to the existing building to prepare the new restaurant for opening and bringing St. Pete Beach a new style eatery.

More information on the completion date and grand opening coming soon.

Indian Rocks Beach-based McLean Media has launched reviewsandmenus.com, featuring local restaurant

Ocean Breeze Grill menus, dining reviews, a directory complete with contact information and more.

Dennis White Painting The Painter’s Painter There may be a tremendous number of painting companies in Pinellas County, but there are very few that are willing to not only tackle the tough jobs, but also take them on with confidence and integrity.

F

or nearly 40 years, Dennis White Painting has been serving Pinellas County and in that time, they have earned an impeccable reputation; so much so that numerous other painting contractors turn to them to do a job they don't feel confident taking on themselves.

"We refinish doors, cabinets and staircases, and do a lot of custom finish work that other painters can't do or don't want to do," said Dennis White, owner of Dennis White Painting.

White is apprehensive about using the words "high-end," but the facts are that his company has created such an amazing reputation in interior and exterior custom paint work, that many of his clients who live in Belleair, the beaches and other affluent communities have turned to Dennis when they want it done perfectly. “I have customers that I have had for over 25 years. They call me up and say,

White's life is the trust he has earned from his customers.

"I am flabbergasted by the amount of trust I have earned. The people trust me.

I love them for that. I am so proud that they allow me to be a part of their extended family," said White.

A big part of the trust Dennis White

'You've done three bedrooms in the house and now we need the living room done. We are going away next week. You know the code. Go in and do it and give me the bill,' " said White.

Next to being a father and a family man, the most important thing in Dennis

Painting has gained is greatly due to the integrity of not just Dennis, but also his crew, who some have been with him for over 30 years.

From small jobs and trim to large jobs, such as the new 35,000 square foot fire department on Court Street in Clearwater, there truly is nothing Dennis White and his crew can't do, from all

interior and exterior jobs, multiple stories, brand new staircases, including staining and painting, to the refinishing of kitchen and bathroom cabinets and entertainment centers.

Whatever the customers wants, Dennis White Painting can do.

"We specialize in trim. For wood work, I truly feel we are the best in Pinellas County," said White matter-of-factly. He speaks with confidence and surety, not cockiness.

A local designer recently told the developer of a very large and expensive fourstory condominium project on Beach Drive in St. Petersburg, "If you can get Dennis to do it, you will be getting the best painter in Pinellas County."

"It's a great, great feeling to have that kind of loyalty and trust from my customers," said White. "That truly means everything to me."

The Sweet Spot of Pricing Your Home

By Blanche Evans

W

hen you and your realtor sit down to price your home, you'll be looking at competitive homes that are the most similar in size, location and amenities as your home. You may find that prices can be thousands of dollars higher or lower. It's tempting to pick the highest price and say, "Let's list it here." But what if your home doesn't sell at that price?

High prices are a strategy that can work in an accelerating market, but it's risky. Your home can sit for months without selling and you'll end up marking the price down, perhaps lower than it should have sold for in the first place.

Pricing your home is a science. The science is choosing the right price at which your home will sell quickly.

How do you do that? By analyzing

your local market conditions and where your home fits in the spectrum.

The only way your home will sell at the highest price possible is if your buyer agrees to your home's value. To best determine market value, you have three important tools: CMAs, appraisals, and your realtor's knowledge of the market.

The comparative market analysis A comparative market analysis (CMA) is a side-by-side comparison of similar homes for sale as well as homes that have recently sold in your neighborhood. Realtors® use CMAs to compare the features that make each home unique, including age, location, number of bedrooms, baths, room sizes, updates, condition, etc.

As a seller, you should be able to see where your home fits -- in the top or lower price range of similar homes. For

example, if a similar home to yours has been recently renovated with a new kitchen, expect it to sell for more than your home if your home has not been improved.

The appraisal An appraisal is a market analysis performed by a professional appraiser using a variety of sources, including multiple listing system data and conforming loan formulas.

Appraisers most often work for lenders to determine market values, so that lenders can weigh the risk of mak-

ing a loan to a homebuyer. Appraisals come after an offer is made when the buyer applies for a loan. Even though the buyer pays for the appraisal, the lender uses it to determine whether or not to make the loan at the contract price.

Other market data Your realtor has access to data that may not be public through the Multiple Listing Service. This data is provided to broker members to track market trends over weeks, months and years. Some brokers pay data companies for specific markets that help them plan their business, such as the number of listings on hand, which zip codes are the hottest, and whether closings are trending up or down over last month or last year.

Your realtor uses all this data to help you hit the sweet spot of pricing.

That's high enough to reflect your home's value, but attractive enough to buyers to get it sold quickly.
