He also gave a brief rundown on what is to be done with the property. They also displayed a draft of what the area will look like with their apartments. Their original plan was to build single family dwellings, but their plans have been changed now to build apartments which would be more beneficial to the City of Boynton Beach and to them.

P~_~blic parking lots in the City.. of Boynton Beach The matter of public parking lots was brought up by Mr. Olds and one of the main areas referred to was the new parking lot at the Hospital. It runs right down to the highway and the first good ~ain we have is going to cause a flood on Seacrest Boulevard as there will be a very serious drainage problem there. Also, there is no shrubbery or trees in fact, it is just plain open and certainly does not look well from the highway. Considerable discussion was had pertaining to this matter. It was suggested that the present Zoning Code should be up-dated as soon as possible. Mr. Olds appointed a Committee to get some code books from other areas -2- MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 4, 1967 C. - continued and to rework them to fit the City of Boynton Beach's needs at this time and for some time to come in the future. Mr. Wehrell and Mr. Brull were appointed to be the two members~of this Committee. They accepted the appointment. D. Gar_ bage can situation Taking garbage cans back to where they belong away from the curb should be checked into. There are some areas in the City where they are left by the curb for days on end. There is something in an Ordinance al- ready that sets a time when they should be removed from the curb. This should be followed up on and should be enforced in one way or another at a very early date. It is not the responsibility of this Board to enforce this Ordinance. E. Sidewal.ks The sidewalk situation throughout the City should be studied very close- ly to see if there is a way to include a sidewalk with every house that is built, in that way the streets will all have sidewalks.
