The minutes of the meeting held November 16, 1965 were read approved and adopted. The financial and water report for November 1965 was read and approved. All expenditures included in this report were approved. Mr. Harry Newett presented a request from Mr. Robert C. Reed for permission to allow a doctor's building to be constructed at the north end of his property and fronting on U.S. #1. The Commission accepted the request and said the matter would be studied. Mr. Anderson of Brockway, Owen & Anderson was given the floor to review the drainage study made by him in 1961 regarding Oleander Way & Banyan Road and also their drainage survey made in 1957. Mr. M. P. Dickenson stated that Banyan Road was a main street in the Town and the Town was responsible for the drainage to be corrected. Mr. Whittemore said he felt that new house construction had caused part of the problem but mainly the poor drainage was due to roads and existing catch basins being installed too low. Mr. Dickenson said that the Town Commission should face up to this matter, that it was the Town's problem and the Town should take steps to correct the drainage. After a general discussion of poor drainage in all areas of the Town the Commission authorized Mr. Anderson to present a cost estimate for his services to update the earlier drainage survey and to include the entire Town in his proposal for a new drainage report. The Commission discussed the proposed new water contract and expressed desire to keep the wording exactly as the old one. Mr. Hart asked that further discussion be post- poned until Mr. Haskell, President of the Club arrived and they could get together with the Clubs attorney and Mr. Lilienthal to finalize this matter.
