received from the Planning/Zoning Board.
1. Deviation ap~lication pertaining to Side-yard Set-Backs on Lot
17, and the West 15 ft. of lot 18, Block "B", Pineridge Heights.
Commissioner R. J. Holland moved that said Deviation application

Commissioner Campbell and unanimously carried.
2. HE: Proposed Subdivision of Bonniecrest Addition by Jerome
Portman and Alfred Denig.
Planning/Zoning Board's report of April 7th mentioned the
imposit~on of an undue hardship upon the developers of the property
should they be required to meet existing lo% area regulations for
the following reasons;
(a) To meet minimum requirements, either lo%
depths would have to be increased, %hereby
sacrificing one tier of lots, or lot widths
would have %o be increased, thereby sacrificing
approximately 25% of the proposed lots.
(b) Other lots surrounding are of lesser area than
required. These lots being recorded prior to
re-zoning.
(c) Distance between paralleling streets, N. E.
17th and N. E. 18th Streets, is only approxi-
mately 400 feet, thereby making it impractical
to subdivide other than as proposed.
The Board, therefor, recommends that tentative approval be given
this Proposed subdivision.
Commissioner R. J. Holland moved that this request be tabled for
fur%her study. Motion seconded by Commissioner Strong and unanimously
carried.
3. ' The Board's Report of April 7th advised of said Board having
studied the plat of "Lake Ida Shores", a subdivision created by
Mr. H.~'' L. Blits, and finds that it would meet the requirements for a
Single Family Dwelling District (R-1AA) with modification of set-back
requirements on certain water-front lots therein, and therefore recom-
mends tentative aporoval.
Commissioner Campbell moved that the proposed plat of Block One,
Two & Three in "Lake Ida Shores" as shown on plat at%aohed to the Board's
Report of April 7th, as to street pattern, be tentatively approved~ pro-
vided, however, that such approval shall no% be construed as binding up-
on the City of Delray Beach, Florida, should the subdivision regulations
be different at the time the developer determines to re-submit a "Final"
Plat for aoproval and annexation. Motion seconded by Commissioner H. J.
Holland and uttanimously carried.
4. Planning/Zoning Board's Report of April 7th - RE: Florida Power
& Light:
A public hearing was held on this request for re-zoning, and,
although there were no objections voiced thereat, the Boar~i is of the
opinion, since the proposed use of subject land is for expanding the
facilities of a public utility, it is not necessary to rezone the pro-
petty but instead a permissive use ~hould be granted.
APRIL 8th, 1957.
Commissioner Campbell moved that the request for re-zoning
be denied, but that pe~issive use be granted the Florida Power &
Light Company, on lands described b~low, when complete intentions.
of expansion of facilities have been submitted by the Light Company
for approval:
"The West-half of Block 15, 0sceola Park; and that
parcel of land bounded on the North by So Eo 8th
Street, on the East by S. E. 1st Avenue, on the
South by So Eo 10th Street, and on the West by the

within Section 21, T~p. 46 South, Rge. 43 East."
Mot/on was seconded by Connnissioner Strong and unanimously carried.

37.5 feet of Lot 15 Wheatley*s Subdivision
The Planning/Zoning' '
Boardts report of April 7th, referred to a
public hearing held on March 29th, 1957, at which time there were
numerous objections received relative to such zoning change, and also
to the Boardts report and recommendations of December 31st, 1956, at
which time the Board recommended that this p~operty be re-zoned to
Hultiple Family Dwelling District (R-3), based upon the original
recommendation for general rezoning of the City in April,·
Commissioner R. J. Holland moved that this request, for the
re-zoning of Lots 16, 17, 18 and the West 37.5 feet of Lot 15, Wheatley~s

mended by said Board. ~otion was seconded by Commissioner Strong
and unanimously carried.

re-zoning by many property owners whose alleged signatures appeared
thereon. Motion seconded by Commissioner Strong and unanimously
Carried.

ively agreed, Lots 1 and 2 of the above described lands be re-zoned

ray Beach for the installation and operation of a natural gas dis-
tribution system in this area.
Att'y. Robert L. Totterdale, speaking in behalf of Hessrs.
Roberts and Smyth, warned the City of the time element and advis-
ability of effecting preliminary steps toward an eventual agreement
between Sun Coast Gas Co., and the City of Delray Beach, inasmuch as
April 21st is an alleged deadline for said Company to establish 'its
over-all allotment with the Federal Power Commission.
Commissioner Campbell reminded the Council, as well as
Roberts, the importance of a clause being incorporated in any agree-
ment which may possibly be entered into, to the effect that the lowest
rates and all beneffits be made available to the City, of Delray Beach
that may be offered any other area in South Florida by Sun Coast Gas
Company or by any other Natural Gss Distributor.

Assessment Rolls covering the Paving, as well as the Drainang pro-
jects in the Andrews Avenue area, for objections, if any, to be made.
·here were protests offered, against the Drainage Assessments,
by residents of Lowry Street, who claim the Storm Drains and Crown
of Andrews Avenue paving being higher than heretofore, and higher
than the lands upon which their Lowry Street homes exist, cause more
water to accrue on their lands than ever before.
Hessrs. C. Y. Grayson and John A. Dittrich protest the City hold-
ing their lands liable for any share of the Drainage assessment as no
beneffits to said lands result from the improvement referred to, and.
recently completed.
Commissioner Campbell expressed his desire that immediate action
be taken to effect relieff from the present condition in the Lowry
Street and Basin Drive area.
Hr. Fred B. Scott also ~rotested the assessment against Ms pro-
perty relating to the Drainage project, referred to herein.
Commissioner Campbell moved that, prior to consideration of an
Ordinance levying the above mentioned Drainage Assessment, the City
Hanager together with the City Engineer, employing any other necessary
additional aid, review and study the effects of the Drainage project
and particularly the established "Drain Field Area" which is the basis

Commissioner Strong moved that the "Sale" of Lot 7, Block 87,
Linn's Add. to 0sceola Park, PI.Bk. 1-133, held at 1:00 P.M., on April
1st, 1957, be rejected and that the offer of $2,025.00 for said lot

Mr. Martin V. Case, President of the Delray Beach Little League
Committee, submitted a letter dated A~ril 4th, 1957, wherein the said
Little League outlined its programs, benefits to the general area as
a whole, and the fact that f,mds are necessary for tile furnishing and
installation of additional light units, poles, transformers, re-wiring
and all necessary labor pertaining thereto.
Mr. Case further advised that Mr. Gearhart, engineer for tile
Florida Power & Light Company, quoted the Little League ~2,778.00
as over-all cost for additional lighting, stated to be necessary for
satisfactory operation of the Little League ball field. Mr. Gearhart,
however, stated that an allowance of ~416.50, for equipment unusable in
the re-lighting plan of the park but now the property of the Little
League, would be made.

the City provide necessary funds, in the amount of ~2,361.50, for

ing lighting facilities at Little League Park, said funds to be pro-
