There was a general discussion of beach erosion, groines and seawalls. Mayor Dodson appointed a Beach Erosion Committee of Mr. Hart, Mr. Iglehart and Mr. Severn to give this matter further study. Mr. Bradley Ward requested clarification on the 15' right of way named Palm Way which runs past his property. Mr. Lilienthal advised him that this right of way had been abandoned by the Town and it was up to him through his attorney to persue the matter further. A letter from C. P. Young was read to the Commission. This letter complained of Mr. Shetlers hedge and tree encroaching on his property. The Commission felt that this was a personal matter between Mr. Shetler and Mr. Young and not something for the Town to be involved in. A Check from Fla. Power and Light Company as payment on Franchise agreement for 1963 was received in the amount of j03,056.96 an increase of 339.83 over 1962 The Town Clerk reported he had sold the old truck for $350.00 Mr. Curry of Russell & Axon Consulting Engineers reviewed the recently completed Water Improvements Report prepared for the Town. This report is on file in the Town Hall. Mr. Hart said he thought the recommendedt cost of water treatment facilities were fantastic since most of the water is used on lawns. He said the Club uses raw water and has a small treatment facility at the club house for kitchen use. Mr. Hart reported that he had Culligan Soft Water Co. install, on a trial basis a small system at his house and would report the results at the next meeting. Commissioners Meeting cont. Page 2. Bar. Iglehart said he felt the Town Commission had a strong obligation to the Town and its residents to look ahead to providing water to the Town in the future realizing that the water contract with the Club will expire in 1969. He felt the Town should prepare now for future sources of water and thought the Town should locate land west of the Intra - coastal waterway for use as well fields and purchase it now or secure options on land suitable for use as a water supply. In the event other water sourses can be obtained in 1969 he felt the Town could always dispose of the land at no loss. Mr. Iglehart moved that a committee be set up to locate suitable land for use as a water supply. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Dodson appointed IGir. Iglehart, Mr. Hart and Mr. William Koch to the committee. Further discussion of the Water Improvments Report were tabled. The Police Reports were read and approved. A street light survey, prepared by Fla. Power and Light Co. was presented to the Commission. The Commission authorized the installation of 17 new 2500 Lumen street lights as recommended. Their recommendations for increased lighting power along AlA was not accepted. This would have cost X202.50 a year More and the Commission felt that the lighting was adaquate for the Towns needs. Mayor Dodson appointed a committee of Mr. Koch, Mr. Gwynn and himself to negoiate a new Fire Contract withthe City of Boynton Beach. The present contract is to expire May 181 1964. A request from Bar. John Thomas for a building permit to be issued prior to April 11 1964 was denied. A request from Mr. Henry Pope for a building permit to be issued prior to April 1, 1964 was denied. The Commission also instructed Mr. Gwynn to not issue a permit for Lot 55 Gulf Stream Prop #2 until Mr. Pope can furnish proof of ownership of 102000 sq. ft. of building site as required by the Town Zoning ordinance. The Commission did however waive the requirements of ordinance #123 which would require the building be set back 781 from the centerline of A1A, since in the case of lot 55 Gulf Stream Properties 172 it would render the lot useless for a building site, which was not the intent of this ordinance. There being no further business the mgatin� was adjourned.
