endings to be straightened ~ut on the rocommendavlon of
a nut, bet of_ooop~- ~e, first, the Heir property should not be
cut off on the East and North sides,
~r. Boos said~ speaking of the South ontrance~ that has been
t~ken~a_~e of and changed so that there is e~ess to N.E~ 14th
Street,o'and ~r. Brand drew on the plot~ by removing a lot, another
access p mnt on the North.
~o Meaver continued with, secondly, the fact that a park
has been planned for ~s area. 0r~gmna_±y they had the Pittmen
tract, about fourteen acres, but it was stated that the authori-
ties wouldt~ ~like ten acres for an ordinary school, ~ud ~r~ Field
said ney would donate:four acres adjoinin
- g for a park,
~ro Boos said the school proposal has bean put up to Talla-
hassee. The last thing they asked for was a High school instead
of a grade school, amd ~,~r. Field will donate the laud on the
high part West of SeaBoard when the~ deci~e,
N~. Field: 'Pi am perfectly willing to give the property to
the school without their buying it~ ma~d wil~ give it when it is
wanted by the S~hool Board, if they will bumld."
~r. Boos said Er. Field is glad to give the land to the
s~hool and will do that in the area where it will do the most
good°
He ~eferred to the Liquor 0rdin~uce forbidding liquor licenses
within 2800 feet of school, church~ park Or library~ and said
unless this clause is rescinded a church cannot be given a site
near the shopping area property~ and thus so~ve a big parking
problem~
There was a discussion on the possibility of building a
church under these restrictions.
~. Field: ~Does the City wish to mainta~ a park if
provide the area?
~r~ ~eaver said it was up to the City to provide ~
~creatfonal space°
~r, Boos: ~'Nntit the School Board gets word from _atla~
hassee$ nothing much c~ be done° We shall have to wait to
put the plat on record."
Mr~ ~meld said he was still willing ~o give four acres to
the C~ty for a park.
~. ~eaver sai~ he thought the ~and adjoining City proper~y~
already intended for recreational purposes~ would be a good place
for the park area.
~r. Field said it would be practically impossible to p~ n
for a park because of the restrictions of the liquor Ordinance.
Mr. ~eaver said the Pittman plat has not bean brought into
the C_~y
~i~. Field said he was qmite willing to have it brought
into the City limits.
~r. ~eaver though~ the Liquor 0rdin~ce, which ism ten
years old, should be ~ev~sed and the required min~num footage
Mr. Boos said at the last meeting of the Rolling Green Rid ge
Association it was agreed to comply with the Pla~uing~Board's
proposal that the 650 sq. ft. houses be raised to 850~ sq.
those in the green area to be r~sed from 850 sq.ft, to 1200
sq. ft., and in the ywllow to 1,O00 sq.ft. He.outlined the
zoning agreement~arrived at by ~he ~ssocmatmon, and added that
the' City' - ~s' as~ea~ not to O.K.~any. plans without the aporoval_ of
~h~ A~chitectural Committee°
The upper section has been raised from 8~0 sq. ft. to 8~0 sq.
ft~ The P!a~uing Board had reccnmmended 1,000 sq.fto
~r. Field, in reply to a question as to whether he intended
to build the s~me type of house as he had in Fort Lauderdate,
said it was more a matter of lots, but they are to have formicu-
lite roofs°
i~. Feltis said he had found this type of roof unsatis-
factory, as it cracked.
Mr. Weaver, referring to the zoning, said this could all be
taken.up at the regular meeting of the Zoning Board on Thursday
next. The Board can then give its recommendations to tbs
C ouncil~ and it did not see~ necessa~ to argue about it ~uy
more this evening.
Nr. Weaver took the opportunity of tha~d~ing ~r. Harless
for the good work he has done while serving on the Zoning Board
and to regret his r. signation, to become effective following
Thursday's meeting of the Zoning Board~
~r. ~eaver said, for the information of any subdividers
hers tonight, a recommendation is to be made to th~ Council that
an Ordinance be passed to have 7~ ft. frontage on avery build-
ing lot.
Mr. Field said, regarding the R/W across the railroad
track, that he applied to a close personal friend of his connected
with the railway and was told that he was awaiting a City m~,~ of
Boynton Beach from City Hait, showing whether the l~ud is in
Bo~mton.
~f~. Griffith said he cannot locate the R/V;~ but he thought
the plat shown by Nr. Brs.nd seemed different from Mr. Brock~ay's.
Mr. Field said what was wanted was a map of the City on
which could be marked whether the lsmd is in the City limits~
He said he had the plat.
Mr. Weaver said he did not think the City had ever made
an official request for the crossing on Woolbright ,Road,
r. Field said if the ~mty want to make the request he will
be glad to follow it through and do anything he cmn.
~o Weaver said we might draw up a Resolution requestimg tha
County to do everything possible in the dsvelopmant of the
property as we wish 5o acquire the R/W for that crossing.
Mr. Forney Hortom said: "Get the crossing amd we will take
care of the gates etc.~
Mr. Wea~er said: ~our Councilmen are in favor of it~ so we
ea~ send off a letter i~ eontamplation of an extension to Hagen
Road~~
Mr. Field: "~aat about our water construction~~
~r. ~eaver said n~ conclusion has yat been arrived at as to
just whaz the City can do~ but we are still studying it. Brockway
and Weber advise that we have an over-all plau, and the o~estion
of suppl~ehas been up with the State Health Department this last
week~ tn y are worried about the supply o~ water which, instead
of being adequate for ~0,000 is adequate for 5~500. We do know
we do not have to have another source of water. Everyone here
understands that the system would pay for itself ~ud not be a
burden on the taxpayers, but the City has not been abl~ to come to
any conclusion for extensions.
Mr. Field asked if he could talk with ~r~Weber goout crossing
under the street.
~. Griffith said the City could not objec~ to Mt.Field seeing
Brockway & ~eber, who have handled bhe whole business, mud see how
long it ~ouid t~xe Broc!o~fay to give him an idea of what proEram
would be needed~ whether a plant, stud-pipe, etc. Nr.3riffith
suggested Mr.Field then contact the City and let us have the
information he obtains.
