The Commission was advised of the Town having received the annual franchise remittance from Florida Power & Light Co., for the period ending January 7, 1972. This revenue, being in the amount of $8,254.50, reflected an increase of $722.67 over the prior franchise remittance, or 9.6% additional rev- enue over the previous year. There being no further business, the Meeting adjourned. 10:30 A.M. O M A Y O R G NORTHROP DAWSON 532 Banyan Road Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Board of Commissioners, Gulf Stream, Fla. Gentlemen: I am very much disturbed over the proposed plan to raise parts of Polo Drive and Banyan Road up to 10 inches to drain off the excess water which appears on these streets when we have high tides or heavy rains. Tb raise the level of the streets would mean that during heavy rains the water would run off the streets onto thp,, adjoining lawns - and there It would stay because the higher roadway would provide an effective dam to pre- vent it running off. I imagine that you are planning drains to carry off the water which collects on these streets at high tidea, but if the drains are not more effective that the ones there now , raising the level of the streets in some places *could throw the water off Into places that were not raised, such as in front of my house on Banyan Road. It seems to me that in trying to solve the problem by raising the level of the streets you are aiming to remedy the effect of the trouble and not the cause. That the worst situations are caused by an influx of water from the waterway is obvious. Why not concentrate on where the water comes in and stop it at the source? The excess water reaches its highest point in front of Mrs. Darling's house during apogee tides, in•ssite o; a drain on the gouth side of her property and on on the corner to the north. It would seem that these drains must let the water in instead of out. Mr.Worthing tells me that the valve of the drain on the south of Firs. Darling's, which is located at the end of the pipe at the waterway, will not close because it is covered with barnacles. We hare two such one -way valves on two pumps at the Golf Club. These valves are about 30 feet from the waterway but connected to an open pipe to the waterway. We have never had any barnacle trouble with them, Jim Vigliatti, when he was at Marco Island, NORTHROP DAWSON 532 Banyan Road Delray Beach, Florida 33444 had a couple of drains which led directly into salt water and had a similar valve on the end. These valvee leaked because of barnacles. He had the valves machined off and painted them with a paint that barnacle) do not like, and had no more trouble. It seems to me that this is worth looking into. Perhaps by moving our valves back 30 feet „ or machining the valve and painting it with barnacle -proof paint, or installing drains that will work, this problem might be solved without taking the chance that raising the streets might lead into additional difficulties. With best regards, Sincerely, March 4, 1972. r AGREEMENT AND GENERAL CONDITIONS BETWEEN CONTRACTOR AND TOWN OF GULFSTREAM THIS AGREEMENT, made the twenty -first day of March in the year Nineteen Hundred Seventy Two by and between HARDRIVES OF DELF%Y, INC., hereinafter called the Contractor, and Town of Gulfstream, herein- after called the Owner, acting by and through its authorized re- presentatives.
