building these houses on 50 foot lots in Riviera Beach.

-Mm. Rayle- Ridgewood Homec~mers Association - These people are strongly against
rezoning and degrading tDis proper~y. It would allo~ for substandard homes.
If they were to build these homes in that area, and I offend n~y ho~ for sale,
someone would come and hear Fy priee~ then drive up and d~n the street and
observe these small houses on-these small lots, ~hey would go some place e/se
to bu6~ a home. Am ~esidents and taxpayers we stand to be hurt by homes of
type.

against the request.
Mr. Robemt Sinclair ~- 614 N. W. Sth Street - The size of the lots in that area
are 75~ by 135'~ 50' lots would be like coming back. to trolley cars. ~ny new
project should complement what is existing now.

was a group. Have built the same type houses in Riviema and invited anyone to
Riviera to see them. Most of the homes are 1500 square feet with plenty of
living space.

Parcel # 3 - Village Royale
Revi~,? plan that was proposed.
Mro Sarno stated that at the workshop meeting last week there was some question
as to the plat that was approved for Village Royale~ We fo~d that the totals
on the summary sheet did not m~tch the plat. A plat was issued at the Council
Meetip~ sm~d an ordinance was dra~ up for Village Royale° Then they came before
the Planning and Zoning Board for a change iu the plat snd it was discovered they
were short in parking a~eas, etc..
P~. Albert Wehrell, Chairman of the Zoning Board at that time presented his
views. He stated that the Zoning Board assumed the number of units on the plat
were the same as the summa_~y. The Zoning Board approved the layout on the basis
that it conformed %~ith the plat plan. At the time it came before Council, the
question was asked was it going to be like this presented plat and it was so
stated.
~. Bill Elam - 609 N. E. 6th Ave. H~ explained that the Architect made up a
little picture that didn't match the s~,,~y. _The picture w~s to show an idea
of the green area, it was not an actual plat. k~. Fields and K~. Riley ~,~mers
of the surrounding property came to the office. They said if we build four
stories that close they would not be able to gem FHA approval. Th. at is the
rea,~on for the yel!~,~ tape covering the building that is extending out. He
peeled off the tape and shOWed the members.
