Present: Mayor William F. Koch, Jr. Vice Mayor Stewart B. Iglehart Commissioner John G. Hart Commissioner J. I-hil Hoyle Commissioner William S. LaPorte Also attending: Henry Lilienthal, Henry Pope, C. P. Young, Roy Cowart, Joe Gwynn, George Talker, William Gwynn and Kathleen Kirton. Mayor Koch called the meeting to order. Mr. Iglehart moved that the minutes of the meeting held February 10, 1967 and February 23, 1967 be approved as written and the reading of these minutes be waived. Mr. LaPorte seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. LaPorte moved that the Financial report for February, 1967 be approved as written and that all expenditures included in this report be approved. Xr. Iglehart seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. The Commission instructed the Town Clerk to write a letter to the Somerset Developers advising them that the Town was not interested in bidding on the purchase of their model apartment building. It was reported that a check from Fla. Power and Light Co. of 4,000.01 was received as the annual franchise payment to the Town. The police reports for February 1967 were read. Mayor Koch reported that another dump site had been located near the present one and that the Town is trying to contact the owner to discuss a lease or purchase of this property. A request by Harvey Ladew via his agent Joseph Gwynn was made in reference to the erection of a new two car garage and chauffeur's quarters to the north of the present garage which is now standing in water much of the time due to building and development of the lot to the south of his property. Mr. Pope, property owner to the south said he would object to this building permit being issued. Mr. Gwynn was advised to draw up a more complete sketch of Mr. Ladew's intent and that he could build after April let if he stayed within the set back lines. Mr. LaPorte moved that proposed ordinance #135 titled AN CRDINANCE OF TIC TC70 OF GULF STREAM AMENDING TIE 1952 ZONING ORDINANCE BY CHANGING PART OF THE BUSINESS DISTRICT TO RESIDENCE DISTRICT A AND PART TO APARTMENT AND RESIDENCE DISTRICT C: CREATING A NEW ZONING CLASSIFICATION TO BE KNCMN AS LIMITED APARTMENT DISTRICT C_1: BY CHANGING THE NORTH 248.24 FEET Or PROPERTY IN TG1N LIMITES FROM RESIDENCE A TO LIMITED APARTMENT DISTRICT C_1: PRESERVING CERTAIN NON_ CCNFOItMING USES. SPECIAL C0;12ISSICN MEETING HELD MARCH 14, 1967 cont. Page 2. be placed on first reading. Mr. Iglehart seconded the motion. Motion passed. This ordinance was then read in full. ( Col. Young objected to this ordinance on the grounds that the people were not duly notified. (2) that unless permissive use is granted for use of polo fields for golf course there is no need for change of zoning at this time. (3) Feels that action of the commission is without due regard for the welfare of the Town in that they granted a six story apartment permit that is now bankrupt and nobody investigated the owners' financial responsibility. Mayor Koch explained that the reason the Commission is placing this ordinance on first reading is that it gives the voters a chance to vote by referendum and that the people will decide what the Town ought to do. If there are as many as three voters objecting to this ordinance, it will be brought up for referendum and Col. Young was advised that if he was a voter he could voice his opinion then. Further discussion of the proposed fire contract was held, the Commission felt that proration of costs in the future should be based on the building values in relation to each Town. This change was approved and the Commission authorized Ocean Ridge to proceed to draw the final draft of the proposed contract. Col. Young objected to doing business with Ocean Ridge instead of Boynton who has a paid department instead of a volunteer department. A letter from Henry Pope was read. In this letter he proposed to trade a parcel of land at the north end of Town for the present Town Hall property. He further offered to donate the polo club house to the Town and submitted plans for remodeling this building to be a Town Hall at a total price of $6,000.00. This letter is included and becomes a part of these minutes. Mr. George +Talker made inquiry about the location of the new Town Hall in that the committee was in the process of designing a building and they needed to know of the location. He was advised that the Town may not be able to arrange a trade with Mr. Pope for the land at the north end and therefore it would likely be on the location of the present structure. Mr. Talker said he felt the plan was attractive but he wondered if the Town would outgrow it in five years. The Commissioners advised Mr. Walker to bring the recommendation of the committee to the next meeting.
