Gentlemen: JOHN G. HART OCEAN BLVD., P. O. BOX 2569 BEACH, FLORIDA 33444 March 20, 1972 From the day after election on, our little Town has been riven by emotional claims as to who should be the next Mayor of Gulf Stream, with the result that the Commission which will be sworn in today will, from the outset, be an unharmonious assembly. In the last few years we have experienced great unpleasantness in Gulf Stream in dealing with the sewer problem, an accusation that some Commissioners had violated the Sunshine Act, which claim was thrown out, a great brouhaha about beach erosion and means to combat it, etc. All this was adequately dealt with by a Commission which was cooperative and harmonious. Now, with a Commission which is antagonistic from the start, new problems will loom larger and be more difficult to solve. The writer has therefore regretfully decided to forego the privilige of serving on this Commission. Yours very trill John( G. b/t/ v /l z JGH:gt PLACE AU SOLEIL DEL-RAY BEACH, FLORIDA 'tVl7RTI'7'ET�TTYC077R ESS.' �3�3'EXST"'FVSTE R -PCA CE-ZP.Tfe �VR E ST-TLZ'1N�'IS 960 Indigo Point June 7, 1972 The Honorable Mayor George W. Walker Town of Gulfstream PO Box 255 Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Dear Mayor Walker: This is a request for an amendment to the attached Place au Soleil plat approved and recorded in October - November of 1961. At such time there was no "Gulf Stream Boulevard" some 175' to the north on the west side of Federal Highway. In summary such amendment requests the replacement of the present entrance -exit road into and from Place au Soleil to a new entrance -exit road some 125' to the north utilizing a portion of the 100' easement owned by Place au Soleil, Inc. See additional enclosed plats for such changes. The necessity for such amendment is the increased traffic hazard expected to result from the shopping centers planned for both sides of Gulf Stream Boulevard on the west side of Federal Highway. Traffic engineering studies on this problem indicate that a re- alignment of the Place au Soleil entrance coupled with a re- alignment of "Gulf Stream Boulevard" would offer an ideal solution to these projected unsafe conditions. See enclosed 5/31/72 letter from County Engineer William E. Hill. I will appreciate your earnest and early consideration of this matter so that a proper solution can be effected.

Reed President OFFICE OF COUNTY ENGINEER Subject: Gulfstream Boulevard Realignment - US -1 /Place au Soleil Subdivision Gentlemen: This office has reviewed your definitive plan prepared by O'Brien, Suiter & O'Brien, Inc. and find your concept for the realignment of your entrance road and Gulfstream Boulevard acceptable. The definitive plan has been reviewed by Mr. Charlie Hyman, Director of our Traffic Department , with respect to the concept, configuration and possible signalization of the intersection. A determination as to whether this intersection warrants a signal could be based on the anticipated development in the area and would depend on funding and approval of the installation by the Florida State Department of Trans- portation. A determination at this time would depend upon your commitment to complete the realignment of the intersection as antici- pated, at your sole cost and expense. With your commitment, it is felt that the intersection could be signalized if the Department of Transportation approves the installation and funds are available. In order to pursue this matter further, it will be necessary for you to submit your final intersection plans showing the appropriate geometrics, along with your construction plans, for our review and approval. It will also be necessary, if you intend to pursue this project, to submit along with your plans a time schedule for construction and the right of way description of the property required for the realignment of Gulfstream Boulevard, JOHN B.
