The City W, nager then submitted.a "Petition" from various pro-
pert.y owners on N. E. ?th Avenue, lying between ?th and 8th Streets
seeking the opening, grading and paving of said portion of N.E. ?th
Avenue.
· Co~issioner Warren moved for providi.ng the Opening, Grading and
Paving of that part of N. E. ?th Avenue lying between 5th and 8th
Streets, with the Costs thereof to be shared by the City, and the a-
butting property owners, on the present policy, of the City paying 20
percent of the total cost for such improvement, the owners of the pro-
perties abutting thereon paying the remaining 80 percent. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Harbison.
Commissioner McNeece disfavored placing this improvement project
ahead of other similar proposed improvements which have been scheduled
as a result of various petitions and need for same as determined by
this and prior Council.
Co~mmissioner Warren cited the need for such improvement to pre-
vent undue traffic hazard in the near future as a result of proposed
improving of N. E. 5th and N. E. 8th Avenues and the changing of same
to One-way Traffic.
Commissioner Croft expressed the thought that the recognized
need for Street Improvement should dictate its priority.
Concerning the above "Motion" for opening, grading and paving of-
a pa.~t of N.E. ?th Avenue and up. on Call of Roll - Commi.ssioners Croft,
Harb~son an.d Warren, together with Mayor Talbot, voted ~n favor there-
of, Ccmmissxoner McNeece being opposed.

City Manager Lawson then submitted the following "Reports" from
the Planning Board:
1. "The Planning Board met on August 31st and considered the "Re-
quest" for deviation in_ Wall Height, submitted by. Att'y: Art.hut T. -
Holloway on behalf of Ns. and Mrs. Leonard E. Kle~n, which, ~n part,
reads as follows:
'Ny clients, Mm. & Mrs. Leonar_d E. Klein, are the owners of Lots
4 and 5: Block 113, in this City. Directly to the West of them is lo-
cated Pmtts Car Rentals where automobile repairing, washing and body
work is carried on. In the course of carrying on its busine.ss, Pitts'
Car Rentals create a great deal of noise, smoke and fumes which is
cast ~_upon m~ clients' property where .they make their home.
Mm. & Mrs.. Klein, after thoroughly go~ng into.the matter aha
consu.lting var.~ous arch.itec.ts are of the fzrm opinion that the only
solutxon to thxs situation ~s the constx-uction of a masonry wall a-
long the rear line of my clients' property to a height .of not less
than S re.et. !_m~_ ediately .west of m~ clients' property is a 16 foot
alley whe~ch has been part~.ally open. .
I feel that the fact. s zn thi.s case show a very .definite hardshxp
condition, and construction of thxs wall would alleviate same and
would be constructed along the rear property line of NS. Klein's pro-
perty adjoining the alley .and would be of substantial construction so
as not to create a h~.zard xn the event of wLudstorm or other' occurence.
On motion of Mr. Kenneth Jacobsen and seconded by Mm. L. Stuart
Lankton, the Board unanimously re.commends granting permi.ssion for con-
struction, of a wall, 8 feet in hexgh.t, on .the rear lot hne of Lots
4 and 5, xn Block 115, due .to the "High No~s.e Level" of .Operation im-
mediately to the West of thxs property creatxng a hardship thereto."
The Council, on motion of Commissioner McNeece and seconded by
C.o.mm~[ssioner Harbison, unani.mously approve, d granting Mr. Klein a per-
mat to construct a wall on hxs rear lot lxne, to a height of 8 feet,
as recommended by the Plan~!ng Board.
2. "The Planning Board, on motion of M~. L. Stuart Lankton and
seconded by Mr. Kenneth Jacobs.on, unanimously rec6mmends a '10 ft
deviation from.the normal requarement of SO ft set-back on S. E~ 5th'

SEPTEMBER 8th, 1959. 19S
Mr. Arthur Sprott, addressing the Council, read the following
lett? from Mrs. Lucy He~m, dated August Slst, 1959, concerning water
servxce to a tract of land on South Ocean Blvd., in Section 28-46-43;
"I cant understand the City's refusal to allow water connections.
I, m~self, put that line in and paid for it and part of my agreement
with the City w~en I put Seagate in the City was that they supply
water thru m~ pipes to the end of Seagate 1-1/2 miles. · You had better
go to the City Hall and read my agreement with the City, if they can
find it. They lost it for years and finally it turned up in the
water department.
This I will fight to the end so keep me informed. How come they
have allowed every one else to hook on?
I think that agreement was 1945 but maybe 1944. M~ copy is in
my safe deposit box.
Good luck with the City Fathers. Dont let them bluff you. I
m~.y not have strong fists but I have a fast memory and I'M on your
side.
/S/ LUCY HELM
