OCTOBER 17, 1960.
A regular meeting of the City Council of Delray Beach was held in
the Council Chambers at 8.'00 P.M., with Mayor Glenn B, Sundy in the
chair, City Manager George Mingle, City Attorney Richard F.Zimmerman
and Cozmcilmen Dugal G. Campbell, Charles H. Harbison, John A. Thajer
and George V. Warren being present.
An opening prayer was delivered by the Rev. N. H. Wible.
On motion by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Mr. Harbison and unani-
mously carried the minutes of the regular meeting of October 10,
1960 were approved.
Mr. Roy Brady suggested, for consideration, that variations be
made in residential property within one or two hundred feet from
the railroad through Delray Beach in order for the owners to make
more use of their property by building smaller units to accow.~aodate
single people and rather than make application for spot zon±n~ of
his own property that the whole area of residential proper'~y
lng the railroad be zoned for a more liberal use than exists at
present. Mr. Brady was invited to attend the next Planning Board
meeting on October 28th to discuss this item.
There was further consideration concerning conditions in the
southwest part of town due to abnormal rainfall and the Director
of Public Works and the City .Manager informed the Council that all
steps possible were being undertaken to render all possible relief
and that a continued study would be made.
It was moved by Mr. Thayer, seconded by Mr. ~arren and carried
unanimously to appoint Mr. Marshall DeWitt as a member of the Inter-
Racial Committee as a replacement.of Mr. Charles Rooney.

from the Director of ~blic Works dated Aurar 26, 1960.
'"~ubJect: Drainage ~ ~ and SE sections.
"In acco~ce with yo~ request of today, the following
~e the ~eco~ended steps, in order of their preference,
~ich the city ~y t~e te utilize ~e drainage outfall
berg installed by .the State Ni~way Dep~tment:
"Step No. 1 - ~e area most badly in need of relief is
that ~ich la contributo~2 to ~e outfall on NE ~d Street.
~ou~ly, t~s ~ea lies between 8w~ton Avenue ~d the
Florida East Coast Rai~oad f~ ~ 2nd Street north to NE
4th Etreet ~d f~om ~ ~d Street south to Atl~tic Avenue
excluding a portion which ia a~eady served by an outfall
on ~ 1st Street. Est~ted cost of the drainage facilities
for ~is ~ea~plus ~ all~ce of 15% fo~ engineering ~d
supervision is appositely $121,000 (this does not include
the cost of a sub-system extend~ from ~ 1st Street and
8winton Avenue te ~e location of the new City Hall and
Recreation Building. A mi~ cost for this extension
would be in the nei~bo~ho~ of $8,$00).
"Step No. 2 - Should be the ~ea contributory to the out-
fall on SE 1st Street. This would be, foully, the area
between SE 5th Avenue and Swinton from At~ntic AVenue on
the n~r~ to a little south of SE 2nd Street on the south.
Est~ted cost for the drainage facilities in this area,
includ~g 15% fo~ engineering amd s~e~vision, is about
$88,000.
"Step No. 3 -~Would be the drainage of ~e ~ea contri-
butory to ~e outfall on BE 5th Avenue ~d foully co, rising
t~ area between ~winton Avenue and EE 4th Avenue ~d bounded
on the south by SE 6th ~treet ~d on the north by a line be-
tween BE 3rd Street ~d 8E ~d Street. App~oxi~te'~co~t of
the drainage facilities, including 15% for engineering and
supervision, for this ~ea Is $20,500.
"it should be noted that the bo~daries given for the above
~eas are very rou~ ~d c~ be supplied in m~re detail if
so desired.
"~e above costs include installation of draina~ facilities
~d the top,cement of ~e streets im their present condition,
only. If additional l~rovem~ta, such as concrete curbs,
~tters, sidewalkS, otc, as were ~riginally pla~ed on NE 2nd
Street, ~e ~equired, the cost will naturally be ~eatly in-

OCTOBE~ 17, 1960.
Following general discussion Mr. Harbison moved to direct the
Engineer, the City Manager and the Director of Finance to coordi-
nate their estimates and their finances and make a report in detail
on this subject. The motion was seconded by Mr. Campbell and carrie~t
unanimously.
City Manager Mingle read the folloWi.ng memorandum from the
Director of Public Works dated October 1~, 1960.
"Subject: Request for water connection outside city limits.
"We have a request from Mr. J. E. Birkenshaw for a meter to
serve a residence being erected on pa~t of Lot 35 and 34,
De/~ay Beach Shores. These lots front on White Drive, about
two blocks south of the city limits.
"A water main ~s by directly in front of the property, in
question and no extension to the main would be required.
According to the policy adopted by the City Council, this
connection aould be automatically granted by the Director
of Public Works if he determines that a water sUrPlus existed
at this point. You will recollect that the budget for the
coming year includes an item for installation of a larger
water main xmnning south on AIA to serve this area. At present,
however, it cannot truthfully be stated that a water surplus
exists at this location.
"}{owever, since this is only a single residence, additional
demand would be so small that the over-all reduction in
pressure for this area would be negligible. Considering the
fact that a surplus will exist at this location within a year,
it is my recommendation that the request be granted.
"By the terms of the above mentioned water policy, this request
can only be' granted by action of the Council."
It wa~s moved by Mr. Harbison, seconded by Mr. Warren and unanimously
carried to grant said request for water service outside the city.
