nished the Commission. Mr. LaPorte commented on the closeness
of the expenditures to the heretofore approved 'Budget' for the

closely watched for the remainder of the year inasmuch as there
will be added expense, due to the recent determination of the
Commission to improve portions of Banyan Road and Polo Drive,
cost of which was not provided in said Budget, as such improve-
ments were not contemplated at the time of Budget preparation.

March 28, 1972
TOWN COMMISSIONERS
"I wish to express my appreciation to the Gulf Stream
Police Department, and in particular to Chief Roy Cowart,
for the promptness and efficiency with which they assist -
me during a critical situation, for me, at the Little Club
on February 28, 1972. At that time I was given emergency
treatment at the Club, and then transferred to the hospi-
tal by police car, which was definitely much faster than
if I had had to wait for an ambulance.
I am enclosing a small contribution to the "Christmas Fund"
of the Police Department."
Sincerely yours
/S/ CHARLES T. HAZZARD, M.D.
Mr. LaPorte informed those present that a recently received State
Crime Report, copy of which is available in the Town Hall, dis-
tinguishes the Town of Gulf Stream as being low on the totem pole
for crime violations, which must be attributable to the efficiency
of the Town Police Department.
Mr. LaPorte further expressed the importance of closer communica-
tion with the Police Department, especially by residents who an-
ticipate being away from their homes, as well as expecting guests
for any length of time.
6. Ordinance No. 72 -1, providing for amending "Section One" of Ordi-
nance No. 106, to increase the Planning Board Membership from the
original number of four (4), as established in 1953, to five (5),
and determining that three (3) Members of said "Board" shall con-
stitute a quorum for transaction of business, was submitted for
Commission consideration.
On motion of Mr. LaPorte, seconded by Mr. Whitney, the Commission
unanimously approved placing Ordinance No. 72 -1 on first reading.
7. Ordinance No. 72 -2, providing for certain restrictions and /or cur-
tailment of Water Usage during any alleged period of Water Shortage,
previously recommended by the Central and Southern Florida Flood
Control District, was submitted for Commission consideration.
The Commission unanimously approved placing Ordinance No. 72 -2 on
first reading upon the motion of Mr. LaPorte, duly seconded by Mr.
Whitney.

8. A "Petition" was received from Mr. Robert R. Grauch representing
Mrs. LeRoy W. Caddell and her son Mr. John B. Caddell II, being
the NEW owners of a tract of land lying between AlA and the Inter -
coastal Waterway, comprising approximately 12.8 acres of land,
heretofore known as the JAMES property (previously identified as
the Seward Webb property).
The request petitions consideration for development of the land
as desired by Mrs. Caddell in accordance with prepared plans for
its development.
On motion of Mr. LaPorte, seconded by Mr. Whitney, the Commission
unanimously approved said "Petition" being referred to the Town
Planning Board for review, study, and recommendation to the Com-
mission for its consideration of such proposed development as de-
sired by the current owners of the property.
9. Mr. LaPorte announced that a group of very concerned ladies had
recently taken it upon themselves to obtain an expression, by pe-
tition, as to what the townspeople want the Town to be, and in
submitting this petition made it very clear to the Commission
that:
"We, the undersigned residents, numbering approximately
180, being home - owners in the Town of Gulf Stream propose that
there be:
(1) No change in zoning within the Town;
(2) No further annexation of lands by the Town"
The ladies were commended for their interest and efforts on be-
half of the Town, and were informed that NO CHANGE IN ZONING nor
ANNEXATION of any lands is under consideration by the Commission
at this time.
