Koch, Jr. Town of Gulf Stream 246 Sea Road Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 Dear Mayor Koch: RE: F.I.N.D. Property MSA 640 -640A It has come to the attention of the Gulf Stream Golf Club that the Town of Gulf Stream is giving consideration to leasing the above referenced property from the Florida Inland Navigation District so as to preserve the area for conservation or ecological purposes or for other purposes deemed necessary by the Town on behalf of its residents. The Gulf Stream Golf Club whole heartedly endorses the efforts of the Town in this regard. In order that the Town can be assured adequate access by land to this property which it intends on leasing, so as to properly patrol and /or maintain this area, the Golf Stream Golf Club hereby offers to lease to the Town for nominal consideration, a sixty (60') foot wide ingress and egress easement over the property owned by the Golf Club which is immediately adjacent to the F.I.N.D. property. We would propose that this lease run concurrently with the Town's lease of the F.I.N.D. Property to the Town so as to insure that as long as the Town continues to lease the property from F.I.N.D., it will continue to have ingress and egress over the Gulf Stream Golf Club Property. We offer the Town this lease so as to encourage the Town to proceed with the leasing of the F.I.N.D. Property as it is the opinion of the Board of Governors of this Club that the leasing of that property by the Town will be to the benefit of all of the residents of the Town of Gulf Stream.

Cross Commissioner Town of Gulf Stream 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, Florida 33444 RE: Place Au Soleil Proposed Security Building Dear Mr. Cross: In response to my letter of .July 31, 1987, you have forwarded for my clarification a copy of a site plan of the Proposed Security Building. I am advised that the Proposed Security Building is not to be constructed in an already existing median strip. I therefore was incorrect in my supposition in that regard in my correspondence to you. This clarification of fact does not modify my general opinion but may be an additional concern from a policy standpoint, as to liability. As an additional thought, it may be advisable for the Town to have provided to it a list of the property owners within Place Au Soleil who are requesting this facility. Indeed, if there are people within the subdivision itself who are opposed to this structure within the right -of -way, the Town may have potential problems. On the other hand, in the event this is a desire of all of the property owners of the subdivision, the best and least problematic manner of handling this would be to abandon the street as a public street thereby removing the Town from this matter and putting it in the hands of the private property owners or their association.

CONWAY (305) 655 OIOB ' e,ARD c,RT,FIED MARITAL L FAMILY LAWYER Mr. James E. Commissioner Town of Gulf 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, Cross Stream Florida 33444 RE: Legality of Proposed Police Substation Dear Mr. Cross: The Town Commission has requested that I advise as to the legality of constructing a "police substation" on public right -of -way located at the entrance to the Place Au Soleil subdivision within the Town of Gulf Stream. The request for the construction of such a facility comes from certain residents of Place Au Soleil who I understand desire a greater amount of security than is now presently afforded. I am advised that the structure would not block free access to the Place Au Soleil subdivision and that there is no intent to do so now or in the future. I understand that the funding for the construction of this facility would come from private individuals but that the structure itself would be owned and maintained by the Town of Gulf Stream. The questions which arise from this situation pertain to the legal right of the Town to place this structure in a right -of -way dedicated to the use of the public and the liability of the Town, if any, to third persons once it has elected to maintain this facility. As to the question regarding the legal right of the Town to place this structure on the public right -of -way you should be advised of Florida Statute 316.2045 which provides in part as follows: J "(1) It is unlawful for any person or persons willfully to obstruct the free, convenient, and normal use of any public street, highway, or road by impeding, hindering, stifling, retarding or restraining traffic or passage thereon, or by endangering the safe movement of vehicles or pedestrians traveling, thereon;• Mr. James E. Cross July 31, 1987 Page 2 The law provides that in using a highway, the public is entitled to have it free of all unauthorized or unlawful obstructions or impediments which tend to delay or obstruct traffic. The question here, therefore, relating to the ability to place the structure in the right -of -way is two fold. First, is it an obstruction? It appears, based upon the proposal, that it is not. This structure is intended to be placed on an already existing median strip where traffic does not now flow and there is sufficient right -of -way to each side of the median strip to allow for the free and unimpeded flow of traffic. Therefore, it does not appear that this structure would constitute an obstruction to the free flow of traffic. The second question is less clear and that relates to the intended purpose and use of the structure. As noted in F.S. 316.2045 it is unlawful to obstruct the free flow of traffic by hindering, stifling or retarding passage on the right -of -way. The Town has been advised that the structure is not intended to retard or restrain traffic from using the public right -of -way, but the intended purpose of the structure is a legitimate question of the Town. If the intended purpose of the structure is indeed primarily to stifle or hinder the free flow of traffic over the public right -of -way, it may not be appropriate to allow the construction of this facility. If, on the other hand, the structure is intended not to stifle traffic, but to provide for a police substation" for purpose of security, patrol and other purposes legitimately aimed at protecting the interests of the residents of the Town of Gulf Stream, the placement of the structure may be valid. The above question is indeed one of interpretation and intent, and in the event there is any opposition to the construction of this structure in the public right -of -way by any individual or entity the Town would want to be firm in its resolve that the intent of this structure is not for the purpose of blocking or impeding access of the public right -of -way, as a court of law, if it found to the contrary, may have sufficient basis to enjoin its construction or mandate its removal. Structures of the type requested here are not unprecegented. A similar structure exists at the entrance way to Point Manalapan and that structure is apparently located on public right -of -way. I am advised that other such structures exist within other municipalities within Palm Beach County. The second concern of the Commission related to potential liability of the Town as a result of placing this structure within the public right -of -way. There is no apparent liability to the Mr. James E.,Cross July 31, 1987 Page 3 Town to third parties for the mere placement of the structure within the right -of -way, provided the Town determines the placement of same is a legitimate public purpose. It is clear, however, that once the Town has assumed responsibility and control of this structure, it shall be liable to third parties for any claim based upon the negligence of the Town in maintaining the structure. This liability is not dissimilar to the liability to which the Town is continually exposed for any property over which it assumes control. There may well be a higher standard of care imposed upon the Town. however, -where the property it maintains is located within the public right -of -way. There are many scenarios one might imagine wherein the Town could be exposed to liability. Such exposure may exist for instance as a result of someone claiming injury resulting from the Town's improper maintenance of the structure. Someone may allege damage as a result of injuries resulting from improper lighting, failing to adequately secure the premises, etc. These are potential problems which need to be considered when the Town exercises control and jurisdiction over any facility. In summary, in the event the Town determines that the C structure proposed is for a legitimate public purpose, not intended to block or impede the free use by the public of the public right -of -way, it appears that the placement of such a structure is appropriate. It is clear however, that the Town would have full responsibility for maintenance of the facility and would be responsible and liable to third parties to operate and maintain said facility in a non - negligent manner. I hope this is of assistance to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or are in need of further information. JCR:edg cc: Tom Brandt Rob Dittman William E.

The first reading of this proposed ordinance received a 4 -0 vote at the July 28, 1987 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. While the ordinance has been brought before the Beaches & Shores Council on several occasions and has received approval from the Council, the Board directed that the ordinance be brought before the Municipal League for review at this time. I am aware that the League has considered this ordinance at a previous meeting, however, a recent revision should be brought to your attention. On page 12, Section 16, Paragraph 1, subparagraph (b), the following wording has been added: Consistent with law and this ordinance, the Palm Beach County Code Enforcement Board shall have jurisdiction to enforce this ordinance within municipalities of Palm Beach County, provided a municipality does not have a Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance which conflicts with this ordinance." I would ask that you provide me with any comments that the Municipal League may have regarding this revision or any other section of the ordinance as soon as possible. I will again be bringing this matter before the Beaches & Shores Council on August 10, 1987. It is also anticipated that a Public Hearing and Second Reading of the ordinance will occur of August 25. 1987 at the regular oard of County Commissioners meeting.

MAYOR M, tiIR COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER ATTEST: TOWN CLERK (SEAL) ROBERT J. DIXSON July 21, 1987 William E. Gwynn, Esq. Town Manager Town of Gulf Stream 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 Dear Sir: Last Friday's workshop budget meeting was especially interesting to me. I am disappointed with the tentative decisions, particularly that which suggests a mere 5% salary increase for police officer. I had thought, perhaps too optimistically, that the Commission would at long last realize the disparity of Gulf Stream police officer top -out salaries with those now prevailing in the average of the eight communities used for comparative purposes, and to be compounded by those which will result from upward salary adjustments in the same municipalities with the approval of forthcoming October budgets. It is clear that, with the tentative 5% increase proposed, the levels of compensation for Gulf Stream officers will fall further behind the average of those which will exist after October 1987. At this stage I do not believe it necessary to repeat the several reasons which were presented to the Commission in support of recommended higher salary levels during the past five or six years. The result of the Commission's tentative decision, if finalized, could have serious consequences in the ensuing budget year. I am concerned that the unrealistic and unjust tentative decision could affect the high quality and competency of our police officers and, hence, the quality of service to the community. Obviously, with substantially higher salaries prevailing in other communities, Gulf Stream may be destined for a less than high quality police service. I am stating this for the record, for if this should occur, the responsibility rests with the Town Commission. If requested, I shall be pleased to once again, for I believe the seventh time, present the reasons for a just and fair level of police compensation. Ve you ,, Robert J. Dixson 3122 North Ocean Boulevard Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 mfp cc: Mr. James E. Cross, Commissioner of Police MEMORANDUM TO: All Association Directors FROM: Robert A. Dittman DATE: July 31, 1987 Since our last Directors' meeting, a number of things have been happening which I feel should be brought to your attention. Harry Kates, Mary Beth Arrascue, and I attended the FIND meeting in Jupiter to express opposition to the commercial development proposed to be located south of our subdivision. I believe our presence and the appearance by our top town officials was instrumental in getting the developers' proposal tabled by the District Commissioners, the expressed purpose for such action being to allow the developers time to "make peace" with the directors and residents of our Association. Whether or not we should feel threatened into doing so at this point in time is another question; I think it may be somewhat premature. I sensed a feeling that the FIND Commissioners may very well determine not to lease the property to these developers, based upon the Attorney General's opinion we earlier reviewed, if "peace" cannot be made. In any event, the developers want to get together with our directors and affected residents as soon as possible. Because of vacation schedules (and to buy some time), I suggested early September as being the first occasion where such a meeting could be lined up. I would first like to see us have a Directors' meeting prior to such a meeting with the developer, for a strategy and tactics session, so, hopefully, we can attend such a meeting with a unified position. one of the developer principals is a local real estate broker by the name of Lois Kelley, who may very well contact you individually within the next montht in such event, prior to making any commitments, indicate to her that we are working toward scheduling a meeting with her and her other principals in September. A delay of such meeting (with the developer) until September will allow us to sound out Mr. Karp (he owns the house in the southwest corner of the subdvision) as to what willingness he may have to granting a public easement of some sort over his vacant lot which would afford access into the district, legitimizing the Town's intent to ultimately rezone such property to restrict same for passive park /wildlife sanctuary purposes. The other thing that has happened in the past month is that the Town Commissioners gave us a first go around on our gatehouse proposal. As I predicted, the proposal was tabled for a month to give Town Attorney Randolph time to study the proposal and the Memorandum to All Association Directors July 31, 1987 Page two implications thereof and, further, to give (Police) Commissioner Cross time to get with me, Harry Kates, and Chief Greer about the police aspects of the gatehouse. I will comment that we had a disappointing turnout of interested parties at the Town Commission meeting; Commissioner Armour was unable to attend the meeting, but Goodrich Littlefield and Harry Kates were there to help me waive the flag. In presenting the gatehouse, I made it clear that the responsibility for maintaining the gatehouse, once it is erected, will belong to the Town; I believe this is a pill that the Commissioners are willing to swallow. Since the meeting, Harry Kates and I have met with Chief Greer and Commissioner Cross, and they both now seem to be very supportive of the proposal. In addition, I have talked with the Town Attorney, John Randolph, and I don't anticipate any huge objections from him. Because I will be out of town on the next Commission date, where hopefully we should receive our final approval (or not), Tom Brandt has agreed to step in and carry the ball. Because this is our last and best shot at this proposal, however, I would urge each of you who will be in town to please Finally, for the purpose of preplanning for a September meeting with Lois Kelley et al. and to, hopefully, move onto the next stage of the Association sponsored gatehouse project, I would like you all to tentatively plan on having a brief Directors' meeting on Thursday, August 27, 1987, at Harry Kates' house at 7:30 p.m. If any of you have any problems with this time, please call my secretary and let her know and we will try to coordinate a better time.
