There was a discussion of the plans of the State Road Department to close Boynton Road from U. S. 1 to AlA during construction. Several letters from various towns and the County were read, urging Gulf Stream to take a strong stand urging that the road be kept open during construction. Mr. Gwynn stated that he had written letters to the State Road Dept. and the Commission of Palm Beach County urging that this be done. Mayor Dodson stated that he had bean advised by Mr. Walter Seymour, Mayor of Ocean Ridge, that the Boynton Fire Department had agreed to place a fire truck with three men on the beach side during construction to furnish fire protection to ocean Ridge, Briny Breezes and Gulf Stream. The cost would be $2,100.00, with Gulf Stream's share of the expense at $700.00. Mr. Iglehart moved that the Mayor be empowered to negotiate on behalf of the Town with the condition that the Town's cost not exceed $700.00. Motion was seconded and passed. There was a discussion of the possibility that the Town pass a resolution o ppoosing any construction on the road.

A letter from the Animal Rescue League of Palm Beach, requesting a donation from the Town was read. It was the feeling of the Commission that it was not a Town responsibility, but rather a private matter and decided not to make a donation this year. Commission Meeting - April 14, 1962 -2- A letter from Henry V. Pope requesting that the Town have an attorney prepare quit claim deeds to the South and North Coves of Gulf Stream Cove Subdivision and the cove in Polo Cove Subdivision so that waterway Realty Corp. could be relieved of the taxes on their coves and to prevent anyone in the future from picking up these coves at a tax sale. Mr. Lilienthal stated that he could do this and it would be all right to accept these coves as public property. Mr. Nilsen stated that the cove in the McClouth Subdivision had been deeded proportionately to the landowners around the cove and that each owner paid taxes on his portion of the cove. This, he said, keeps the cove in private hands and cannot be used by any- one except the owners around the cove. It was the opinion of the Commission that the Town not be involved in ownership of these coves, but suggested that Mr. Pope have these coves deeded to the adjacent property owners for their own protection so that these coves can remain provate property. The Police reports were read and approved. Col. Young restated his original request for a carport on the rear of his property and said he felt the denial of his request for a variance was being held up for no good reason. He then asked if the Town would consider granting a variance so that he could construct a two -car garage on the south of his property with access from Lakeview Drive. The Commission stated that it could consider the matter upon written request and upon consent of all the neigh- bors within the prescribed area. The Commission indicated that it would grant such a variance should there be no objections from the neighbors. Col. Young next stated that in view of the fact that the Town is planning to annex properties on County Road that do not have the minimum 100' frontage on this road, he would like to request the Commission grant him a variance so that he could divide a tract of land which he now owns into two lots of 80' frontage each. Mayor Dodson requested that he submit this in writing and then the Town would notify the adjoining property owners of this request and then the subject would be considered. The second and final reading of Ordinance #1281 an ordinance declaring intention to annex lands of Ethel P. Perkins et al, was heard by the Commission. It was moved and seconded that this ordinance be passed and adopted on this second and final reading. Motion passed.

Motion passed. Said ordinance was read first time in full. mr. Gwynn requested that the Commission consider paying the full cost of uniform rental service for the Town's two trash men. He stated that atpresent the Town was paying for half the rental charge. The additional cost to the Town would be $110.00 per year. It was moved and seconded that the Town pay the total cost from now on. Motion passed. Mr. Gwynn reported that he had consulted with the County Tax Assessor and his office had been most co- operative in offering the use of their tangible personal property records as a basis for the Town to levy a personal property tax for the year 1962. Mr. Gwynn stated that he could foresee no major problem in preparing a tangible personal property roll for the town. There was a general discussion of the subject. Mr. Lilienthal pointed out that it was the duty of the Town to levy and collect such a tax.
