Ward, Henry Lilienthal, Roy Cowart, Henry Pope, C.P. Young, Frederick E. Hollingsworth and Kathleen Kirton. Mayor Koch called the Meeting to order. Mr. LaPorte moved that the minutes of the meeting held on February 9, 1968 and the special meeting of March 2, 1968 be approved as written and the reading of these minutes be waived. Mr. Hoyle seconded the motion. Motion passed. Mr. LaPorte moved that the Financial Report for February be approved as written and all expenses included in the report be approved, with the exception of the bill for Ocean Ridge Gulf Service which is to be checked over and the expenses verified by the Town Clerk. Mr. Hoyle seconded the motion. Motion passed. Attorney Frederick E. Hollingsworth, 401 Pan Am Building, West Palm Beach, representing Col. Young requested a building permit for a garage on Col. Young's property as shown on the sketch submitted by Col. Young and attached to these minutes. The requested location of the garage would be in the front of Col. Young's home. A letter from D.W. Colhoun was read objecting to a garage in the rear of Col. Young's property and pointing out deed restrictions prohibiting it there. Mr. Curtis Shetler had previously talked with the Town Clerk about the garage and stated that he did not like the location of it but would not enter an objection. During discussion it was pointed out that the present request would meet former setback requirements in the front but did not comply with the greater setback for AlA as specified in Ordinance No. 123. Mr. Hollingsworth stated that on behalf of his client he was asking for a permit to build a garage and not a variance in the setback requirements. Mr. LaPorte moved that the request of Col. Young to be granted a building permit for a garage be approved providing the garage is built exactly as shown on the attached sketch. Mr. Hoyle seconded the motion. Motion passed. A letter from Mr. James J. Ritterbusch, President of The Somerset of Gulfstream, Inc., was read in reply to a complaint from the February 9, 1968 commission meeting. At the request of the Palm Beach County Bar Association, Inc., Mayor Koch issued a proclamation regarding Law Day, May 11 1968. Commission Meeting, March 8, 1968 Page 2 A letter from Attorney Joseph P. Metzger was read notifying the Town of the settlement of the suit resulting from the accident between a Town police car and a motorcycle on May 41 1967. The Town Clerk as requested at the previous meeting gave a report on the Gulf Stream Shores Apartments building. A copy of the report is attached hereto. Police reports for February were read. The Town Clerk reported that the sodding of the area in the rear of the Town Hall has been completed and also pointed out the new State flag in the Commission room. The cost of the flag was $83.38 and a check for this amount has been received from Mr. George T. Trumbull as a contribution from him to the Town Hall Building Fund. Mr. LaPorte moved that Resolution No. 2 -68, setting the date for the Board of Equalization hearing, be approved. Mr. Hoyle seconded the motion. Motion passed. The Town Clerk reported on the accident last Saturday night, March 2, involving a Town police car. The police car was declared a total loss and a check from the Town's insurance company in the amount of $1650.00, after the $100.00 deductible, has been received. The Commission agreed to accept this amount and the Town Clerk was instructed to sign the necessary papers to transfer the wrecked car to the insurance company after the Police equipment had been removed. The Town Clerk read the following bids for an immediate replacement for the wrecked Police car: Adams Chevrolet Company $2760.00 for a 1968 Chevrolet BelAir Jerry Earl Pontiac, Inc. 2986.39 for a 1968 Pontiac Catalina Joe Rose Motors, Inc. 3040.00 for a 1968 Plymouth Fury III Mr. LaPorte moved that the low bid from Adams Chevrolet Company be accepted. Mr. Hoyle seconded the motion. Motion passed. Mr. LaPorte voiced a complaint on the answering service now being used by the Town. Following discussion the Town Clerk was instructed to transfer the answering service from Mobile Communications to We Answerphone, operated by Emory J. Barrow. Commission Meeting, March 8, 1968 Page 3 There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned.

Box 255 Delray Beach, Florida Dear Mr. Ward: We have your letter of February 15th regarding the complaints received by one of the town commissioners about the "bright lights" on the Somerset property. This weekend I examined the lighting at night and have instructed the manager of the Somerset to remove one light that had been placed in one of the islands near the road. Other than that one light, it appears to me that the lights at the Somerset should not be a disturbing factor for any residents in the area. If the Town Commission still feels as if further correction should be made, I would appreciate meeting with either the complaining parties or with the Town Commission to get their views on what lights are a disturbing influence.

WARD Investigation of layout of Gulf Stream Shores Apartments Measurements were taken by the undersigned on February 29, 1968 and are reflected on the attached sketch. I believe that the measurements are reasonably accurate, however, a surveyor or engineer in taking exact measure- ments might very likely show slight differences from the figures on the attached sketch. From my observations and measurements, I would say that the only encroachments into the 78 foot setback area are: The concrete slab at the foot of the stairs under the canvas canopy, The bottom five feet of the stairs, and About nine feet of the 12 foot canvas canopy. As previously stated a survey might show some different figures but I believe the figures given here would be within a foot or so of those resulting from a survey. Lower wattage bulbs have been placed in the light stan- dards which illuminate the parking area and this should help reduce any complaints from adjacent property. owners.

I must refer you to the file on this matter that was considered in 1962 and denied for good and sound reasons. The situation has not changed since then and we must object again to the change in zoning as it affects Oleander Way. The proposal off AIA is not adjacent to our property so we have no comment, except in general we think the zoning for our town good and should not be changed except for good reason. We regret this matter has to consume the commissioners time again and suggest Mr. Young be advised there is a deed restriction that Prohibits the change he has in mind on Oleander Way, and at the present writing Bessemer Properties, the Shetlers and Colhouns have no intent to waiver this deed restriction.

PALM BEACH COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION, INC. POST OFFICE DRAWER 2269 WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA OFFICE OF: Law Day Chairman February 21, 1968 Hon. William F. Koch, Jr. Mayor, Town of Gulf Stream Town Hall, North Ocean Boulevard Delray Beach, Florida Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find a copy of a proposed Mayoral Proclamation declaring May 1 as Law Day in the cities throughout Palm Beach County. As you may be aware, Law Day first originated by Presidential proclamation in 1958 and is now observed nation -wide on the first of May by joint resolution of Congress and proclamation of the President of the United States. The purpose of Law Day is to foster respect for law; to increase public understanding of the place of law in American life; and to point up the contrast between freedom under law in the United States and governmental tyranny under Communism. This year the Law Day Committee is attempting to obtain the permission of the Mayor of each city throughout Palm Beach County to include his respective name and the name of his city on the enclosed joint proclamation. This proclamation would then be presented by as many of the Mayors included thereon who could attend to the presiding Circuit Judge in Palm Beach County. If we are able to include your name and the name of your city on this proclamation, I would appreciate your dropping me a short note indicating same. On behalf of the Palm Beach County Bar Association, I wish to thank you in advance for your cooperation in this most worthy annual event. Sincerely yours, THEODORE BABBITT MAYORAL PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, in many areas of the United States respect for constituted authority and the principle of the supremacy of law are being heedlessly challenged; and, WHEREAS, the rights and freedoms which Americans accept as their birthright are made possible only by public acceptance of and obedience to the rule of law. In today's complex society there is a particular need for understanding on the part of every citizen that respect for law is vital to the preservation of individual liberties and a free and orderly society; and, WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States, and the I President by official proclamation, have designated May 1 as Law Day USA, it is especially fitting, therefore, that this year we should as citizens reaffirm our faith in the rule of law and in the supremacy of government by law rather than by man. The theme for this eleventh annual observance of Law Day USA carries a timely message: Only a Lawful Society Can Build a Better Society. It reminds us only through adherence to the processes of law and representative government can our community and nation achieve the goals we seek in social betterment and progress. NOW, THEREFORE, WE, the Mayors of the cities listed hereafter, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, May 1, 1968, as Law Day USA in our respective cities and call upon all citizens, organizations, churches, and schools to recognize this special day through appropriate programs and ceremonies.
