The Police reports for April, 1966 were read. Building permits for the month of April reported a total of $167,000 including four new houses. The Town Clerk reported that Hardrived Inc. had surveyed Polo Drive between Banyan Road and School Road and they reported that elevations on Polo Drive do not vary enough to warrant resurfacing with the object of getting better drainage to the catch basins. Also that Polo Drive is settling in front of Mr. Whittemores house and it will continue to settle for some time. They concluded that it would be a waste of money to try and correct the drainage at this time. It was reported that Fla. Power and Light Co. is paying for trimming the pine trees on both sides of AlA. This is a savings of $600.00 to the Town for amounts already budgeted for this work.

Mr. LaPorte stated that as a Commission meeting held May 13th, 1966 Cont. page 2. matter of policy Delray Beach does not grant permission to individuals outside the city limits but as a matter of mutual cooperation C between neighboring municipalities they may do so for the Town of Gulf Stream. Delray Beach will bill the Town monthly for sewage charges and the Bath & Tennis Club agrem to put an amount on deposit with the Town to pay for these costs. Mr. Koch reported that he had met several days ago with Ocean Ridge to discuss sewer works; they agreed to hire an engineer to study Russell & Axons report and to make recommendations as to financing and cost sharing among the Towns involved. In the meantime however Mr. Koch said he thought the Town ought to help the Bath & Tennis Club by writing a letter to Delray Beach. It was moved and se- conded that such a letter as requested be sent to the City of Delray Beach. Motion passed. Mayor Iglehart stated that the next order of business was to call for 2nd and final reading and adoption of the proposed sub - division ordinance. Mr. Pope said the ordinance was highly discriminating and was taking over property of others. This he belived was a personal thing agaist him. It vm copied from a city and should have been patterned after Palm Beach. Mr. Pope said he would like to ask each Commissioner if he had read it and knew all the contents of the ordinance. Mayor Iglehart said this has been postponed a long time and the Commission is ready to act on it. Mr. Koch said the ordinance had been revised to include some of Mr. Popes suggestions. The Commission must protect the Town regarding roads, rights of way etc. No one is trying to hurt Mr. Pope. Mr. Pope said the ordinance would lower value of his land the Palm Beach sub - division is much better and it was omitted from the Towns zoning ordinance which was patterned after Palm Beach. This ordinance is hurting me and I will be forced to hire legal counsel to protect myself. Mr. Iglehart said that the Commission has heard the views and opinions of Mr. Pope, and asked for the views of each Commissioner. Mr. Hart said.he saw no harm in holding it over for one more month. Mr. LaPorte asked Mr. Pope if his plans for development would meet the standards of the ordinance?
