re: Application of Thomas Boffey to permit expansion
of existing building for ticket sales office
Gentlemen:
I represent ~,ir. Irving Kirsch, who is the property owner
immediately to the south of Gulfstream Marina. Mr. Kirsch
has asked me o~ his behalf to present his views regarding
this application to the Council.
Mr. Kirsch, who has been a taxpayer in Boynton Beach for
25 years, does not object to the substance of the applica-
tion in that he does not wish to deny Mr. Boffey the oppor-
tunity to expand his business. However, expansions of
Gulfstream Marina have in the past been done with some
disregard for the rights of the adjoining property owners.
Pot example, it has been the practice of Gulfstream Marina,
or those using the facilities of Gulfstream Marina, to
park their boats upon the beach which is part of the Kirsch
p~operty. In addition, garbage has been allowed to accumulate
along the property lines between the two adjoining parcels
~nd it is our belief that while ~. Boffey may have not been
the one.to have put it there he did not restrain those who
use his facilities from doing so. Also, earlier in the year,
someone from Gulfstream Marina cut back extensively the
~rees_and growth'on:{h6 western front of the Kirsch property
~o altowth~ Gulfstream Marina sign to be seen more clearly
f~om U~ S. Highway NS. i. He would request, therefore, that
oapproving~Mr. Boffey~s application,-that the Council
nish him to m°re' carefully reg,!ate ~he use of his
p~operty so that it does not inter~ere with the adjoining
p~operty o%~ers.
~appreciate your entering this
into the minutes of the
Sinc~/~/~ly yours,
Roger Saberson
