She stated that she did not. Mayor Effron asked if the petition is legal. Mm. Moore stated that it would probably meet the requir~3nents of the Charte~. Mr. Arehie stated that he called a number of the people that signed the petition~ it is a shame that this happened, a shame that people will be- lieve the person that brings the petition around. The entire t~uth was not brought out. One person was told it would be highrise. Another per- son was led to believe that taxpayers would have to pay hundreds of thou- sands of dollars to bring water and sewer oveb to this annexed land. This Council has stated there will be no cost to the City~ and somehow the people in various neighborhoods were not necessarily telling all the t~uth. Mayor Effron read the letter fram St. Andrews Corporation, dated May 15, 1972. Mayor E_~fron stated~ as pointed out by Mr. hrchie: Mr. Ki!tgore and at other meetings, we have stated it was not going to cost the City any money whatsoever. If the City negotiated with other municipalities to oversize sewer lines the difference in the cost should be borne by the City of Boyn- ton Beach (in the case of St. Andrews), but if these lines are extended to Ocean Ridge, Briny Breezes~ etc.: then they would pay the extra cost. Thomas O'Boyle~ 1002 S. W. 4th Way, stated that he took the petition around when at the last Council meetin9 it was not in writing as to who would foot the bill. He asked if Council had this letter at the last meeting? The Mayor answered ~no~: but it is in records in City Halt~ and has been stated many times that the develope~ would pay alt costs. Mr. O~Boyle feels that the petition shook everybody up, and now the letter is here, and it is in writing for the citizens of Boynton Beach. Moore asked Mr. 0'Boyle if he has seen the St. Andrews propez~y? O'Boyle answered that the only property he knows is where he lives in Leisurevil!e. Mr~ Mr. Killgore stated that Mr. Iglehart called him on Wednesday following the last Council meeting. He asked if anything he could do in order to do whatever the City requires for annexation. Mr. ]~illgore infoz~ned Mr. tg!eha~t that there is nothing he had to do. Mr~ Iglehar~ said he wanted to give a letter of what he intends to do with the property~ the letter was not asked for by anybody. Mr. ](i!lgor~ cautioned the citizens of Boynt~n Beach in tutoring down good development for annexation. If we don~t protect our own investment~ you~ utility bills~ sewer taxes~ every- thing will go up. --8-- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 16~ 1972 Petition from 121 Persons, cont'd. Mrs. Jackson stated that Council received this letter today. She voted Wno~ because we had no site plan ordinance~ there were many things we did not know. We have nothing to say we are going properly. They can change it tomorrow, we have no control over its we had an example of that. We did not have any figttres at ~11 on this until today. Mr. Blanchette stated, as he has previously stated, that this landis too valuable not to do something like they a~e planning to do. Next year we lose our municipal cour~ revenue. Where do we pick up this 50 to 80 thousand dollars if we don~t annex this type of property? Mr. Moore stated that these people are in our actual service area, we a~e going to furnish them utilities. At this point they are willing to pay for all ecsc: we may very well be forced to do it, and lose any and all control by not taking them into the City. Mr. Moore suggested contacting each of these people that signed the peti- tion~ and bring them the truth and actual facts, and see if they s~iI1 want to oppose this annexation. Albert Wehrell stated that it was not until tonight that he had a clear understanding of what they were going to do. Now that we have all the facts he would not oppose it, not until tonight was it really clarified. Mr. Arc/Tie moved that the Council take this under advisement~ and that the City Manager's office be instructed to contact each and every one of the persons that signed the petition and bring out the true facts, we in no way wish them to remove thei~ name if they do nOt wish to: seconded ~v Mr. Blanchette. Mr. 0'Boyle stated that he wants to see Boynton Beach 9~ow whereby we won,t give anything away. When he found out this was annexed with no guarantee of who was to foot the bill, he was the one that started the petition: Mrs. Jackson had nothing to do with it. Motion carried $-0. Mrs. Jackson a~stained because of the questions asked of her~ she stated that they will find she did not do it. ADMINISTRATIVE Transfer of Funds from ~nappropriated Surplus for: 1.

Jackson moved to accept the City Manager's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Archie. Motion carried 5-0. Clarification .on Intent to Revise Zoning Ordinance Mr. Kitlgore stated that a couple of points need clarification as to the intent of Council to revise the zoning ordinance. There have been ques- tions concerning applications on conditional use. Mr. Moore stated that the question is ~ does the conditional use_come un- der the zoning moratorium? People coming into apply for a conditional use should not be included in the moratorium~ it is not a zoning change. Mr. Archie moved that Council feels that conditionaluse is not applicable in the zoning moratorium and so instruct the Planning & Zoning Board, sec- onded by Mr. B!anchette. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Archie stated there is talk of changing a few items in the existing zoning ordinance before getting to the finalmaster plan: he would like to include in that~ changing thoR/AA square footage to 1800. Mr. Robert Olds, Chairman of the Pl~ning & Zoning Board~ stated that the Boerd had a meeting and arrived at some ehanges~ this 1800 was one of the changes.
