Report for January 1962 was read and approved. All payments recorded
in this report were approved.
Mr. Iglehart presented a letter to the Commission which he had
received from Major D. W. Colhoun and asked that it be read to the
Commission. This letter is attached and becomes a part of these
Minutes. The letter stated that he still objects to the granting
of a variance to Mr. Young so that he could erect a carport on the
rear of his property. Dep. Town Clerk Gwynn stated that he had
contacted the Shetlers and the Colhouns, telling them that the
Commission would be willing to grant a variance if they would give
their consent. Mr. Gwynn stated further that he had urged the
Colhouns and Shetlers to either attend this meeting or give a letter
outlining their specific reasons for objecting to the variance. Col.
Young again explained his reasons and type of construction he comtem-
plated. Col. Young stated that Mr. Shetler had told him that he would
not object to the granting of a variance. Mayor Dodson said that at
the December meeting the Commission had agreed to granting a variance
only if there were no objections from the neighbors.
Mayor Dodson called for a vote on the matter. Mr. Iglehart voted -
Yes, with the condition that no permit be issued until after April 1,
1962.
Mr. Hart voted - Yes.
Mayor Dodson voted - No.
Mr. LaPorte voted - No.

LANDS OF ETHEL P. PERKINS, HELEN VENINO, CONSUMER'S IMPORT CO.,
JOHN B. AND GWENDOLYN JEAN WOLFORTH, AND KATIN DiMARCO, TO THE TOWN
OF GULF STREAM" was heard by the Commission. Mr. LaPorte asked that
we hold up on this ordinance and that we reconsider all annexation
until there is more discussion of Mr. Reed's subdivision.

Mr. Hart stated that the Club is unhappy about the water contract
not defining boundaries, and annexation of lands. He said that it is
inconsistent to annex some lands and discuss de- annexing other lands.
Mayor Dodson explained that in the annexation before us and the
intended annexation on Pelican Lane, we are securing control of both
sides of the streets Which now serve as Town boundaries. We are doing
a service for the Town and the townspeople adjacent to the lands to
be annexed.
Mr. Hoyle moved that we accept the first reading of the ordinance.
Motion was seconded. Mr. Hart, Hoyle, Iglehart, and Dodson, voted -
Yes. Mr. LaPorte abstained, stating that he felt we should not rush
into annexing any lands at the time.
Mr. Iglehart suggested that Mayor Dodson appoint a committee to
meet with officials of the Club to discuss all phases of the water
situation. Mr. Hart agreed saying the Club would like to get out
of the water business.
Mayor Dodson appointed Mr. Hoyle, Mr. Iglehart, and Mr. Koch,
to serve on this committee. Mr. Hart said he would arrange the
meeting with a committee.to be selected by the Club.
At this point of the meeting, Mr. Hoyle asked to be excused
from the meeting.
The Commission agreed that the Dep. Town Clerk should not
assess the property owners being annexed until it has been accom-
plished and the total costs can be accurately determined.
A letter, signed by five property owners on Oleander Way,was
read to the Commission. This letter requested that the Town abandon
the idea of re- routing traffic on Oleander Way to one -way North.
Mr. Gwynn stated that Chief Cowart had studied the road carefully
and recommended that it be left as is, namely, one -way South. The
Commission agreed to terminate further discussion on the matter.
A request from Beymers, Inc. for a permit to construct a bath
and shower room for Mr. Charles Lockhart. Mr. Gwynn stated that
since our zoning ordinance prohibits the issuance of permits between
December 1 and April 1st, he had contacted all the neighbors of
Mr. Charles Lockhart requesting their feeling. All of them stated
that they had no objections. Col. Young then stated that he did
not realize that it would mean construction would start before April
1st. However, he did say that he would not object.

There being no objections by the neighbors, it was moved that
the Dep. Town Clerk issue a permit, when requested, for the said
construction. Motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
A letter from the Gulf Stream Civic Association, Inc. was
read to the Commission. This letter stated that at a recent meeting
of the Association attended by fifty -five members, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
"In view of the inaccessibility of the newly
developed section of the Town of Gulf Stream on the
western side of the Intracoastal Waterway and in view
of the Town's inability to provide this new area with
the customary public services, it is the sense of this
meeting that all interested parties would be better
served by a disassociation of the western area from the
main body of the Town."
Mr. Johnston explained generally the legal ways and means of
de- annexing lands.
Mayor Dodson suggested that the Town Attorney, Mr. Lilienthal,
draft a letter to the Association explaining the necessary ways and
means for de- annexation. However, it was the opinion of Mr. Iglehart,
LaPorte, and Hart that a letter was not necessary due to the fact
that the Association is already aware of this. Mr. Iglehart stated
the Town should go on record in these Minutes that the Commission
shall not admit to the "Town's inability to provide this area with
the customary public services ".
The police reports were read and accepted. Mr. Hart said that
he thought the Commissioners and the Dep. Town Clerk should know
when and who was on duty at all times. He cited several examples
when emergencies had arisen and there had been no officer on duty.
The situation where three 8 -hour shifts a week are unmanned was
discussed in general. The Dep. Town Clerk was instructed to have
Chief Cowart prepare a work schedule each month and furnish copies
to each Commissioner and the Dep. Town Clerk.
Mr. LaPorte discussed the danger that existed along AlA for
people to drive onto AlA from the numerous private driveways and
town streets. Mr. Hart moved that the Town write a letter to the
State Road Department requesting that they make a study of the
traffic on AlA with the purpose of double- lining AlA throughout
the Town. Motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
The Commission authorized the Deputy Town Clerk to have 200
sets of the present Zoning Ordinance mimeographed at a cost not to
exceed $200.00.

Deputy Town Clerk Gwynn stated he had received several complaints
regarding the size of the "REAL ESTATE" sign on Webb Bros. office
building. The Commission instructed Mr. Gwynn to see that the sign
was made to conform with the Town Ordinances.
Deputy Town Clerk Gwynn asked the Commission to consider giving
Paul Bradwell a raise in pay. He pointed out that Paul Bradwell
had been with the Town for three years and was still paid the same
salary he started with - $46.00.
It was moved that Paul Bradwell be given a $4.00 a week raise
in pay. Motion seconded and passed unanimously.
There being no further busine:
the meeting was adjourned.
