meetxng, wherexn Mm. Robert L. Totterdale, Vice-President of said De-
to several modifications of conditions con-
velopment Company, agreed .
rained in their origxnal petition for annexation of "DEL-HARBOUR" S/D.
The City Mana then the
get read following letter, .dated De.oemb.er
19th, from the City Attorney - RE: Totterdale Annexation Apphcat~on:
"In connection with the above matter, I am advised that the area
for which application has been made is adjacent to the Tropic Isle a-
rea of Delray Beach, axcept being separated by the Intrcoastal Water
way.
. It is the rule that 'separation of the annex.ed terri.tory from the
cxty by a navigab.le river, or by a highway or r.axlroad rxght of way
does not necessa~.lly break the contiguity.' Munxcipal Law, Rhyne, Pg 34.
I also enclose a letter from Brockway., Weber & Brockway stating
the proposed area to be annexed 'is.contiguous to the present city
limits? The .attorney for the apphca.nt has also presented a memoran-
dum of law, whxch I enclose for f~les.
,your . . .
Whil.e it would appear that t~e pr.oposed area complies w~th the le
gal req.uxrements of the city's authorxty, yet I feel I would be amiss
if I faxled.to point out that if annexed, numerous legal difficulties
may result xn the future from the fact .the lands are sep.arated by the
waterway. For example, garbage collectxon, fire and pohce protection
might be difficult to furnish by reason of the actual separation.
I find no Florida case .in point, an.d it is po.ssible, in view of
the actual facts, Florida maght add addxttonal criteria than 'contig-
uity'."

PLANNING/ZONING BOARD
Commissioner Strong moved for acceptance of the Plar~.ing Board's
recommendation and the locating of a Community Center building, as.
, D-lan~- ~t the north secti_a-_ of the City Park. Motion was secon~a~
DECEMBER 30, 19%7 ? 7.3
by Commissioner Holland and unanimously agreed.
Commissioner Strong wished to make known her reason for a .change
of mind in location of a Community Center, this being due to first
ha.ving beli.eved there was in.sufficient parking space at the City Park
which has since been proven incorrect. .
Commissioner Holland, when filet sugg~ng Block 51, thought it'
might have been wise to group all City buildings, but has since been
convinced by various sources that such is .not necessarily practical,
~md therefore favors the City Park as originally planned.
Col. Andrew Fabens, Chaim~.a.n of the Plannin~.Zo.ning Board,
minded the Council of the rapxd growth .of the C~ty ~n a Southerly di-
rection and thought that possibly the City owned land south of tenth
street.t The Council, however, did not favor consideration of this
site for a Community Center due to the hazard of heavily travelled
U.S. 1 and future southbound traffic on 5th Avenue.
City Manager Lawson presented Bills for approval in the amount of
'~30,545.5~.
Commissioner Strong moved that said Bills, amountin~ to $30,545,55,
be paid subject to approval of the Finance Committee. Motion seconded
;' Commissioner Holland and unanimously passed.
The application of Cornel.ius Grisby for a. BEER and WINE licens.e
.i'or OFF the premises consumption, at Neal's F~sh & Poultry Store,
· NE~ building nearing completion - 428 West Atlantic Avenue, was
~bled untilthe next regular meeting,
Col. Andrew Fabens, Chairman of the Planning/Zoning Board, expressed
sincere thanks of the Board to the City Council for the a.lmost unani-
~:ous acceptance by the Council of-the Boa~s recommendations through-
out the Year.
.Mayor Warren, on behalf of the C.ouncil, expressed the deep appre-
ciation of t.he Coun.oil for the untiring efforts and accomplishments
of the Planning/Zoning Board throughoUt the year.
CommissiOner Strong moved that eighty (80) Refunding Bonds, Set.des
1951, held by the City of Delray Beach, be retired and burned. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Holland and unanimous~ly agreed that said
burning of the Bonds shall take place at the City Hall at 5:00 P. M.,
on Tuesday, December $1st, 1957.
Commissioner Strong moved that "Duplicate" Tax Sale Certificates
be issued to Albert DiCampli to REPLACE Lost or Destroyed Certific.ates
No's. 259 dated June lSth, 1949 and 350 dated June 6th, 1950. Motion
seconded by Commissioner Holland and unanimously agreed.
City Manager Lawson presented a letter from Nowlin & Adams, who
requested,.on behal.f of M~. T. M. O'Neal, a change in the zoning of
the following described land; to-wit:
That part of Model Land Company s Lot 1,
block i of the Subdivision of Section 21,
~.Tw, p. 48 S, Rge. 43 E, lying West of the
xght-of-way of the F.E.C.R.R., and ly-
ing East of a line parallel-,t~ and 164
feet East of the center line of Swinton Ave.
Commissioner Strong moved that this request be denied as a public
hearing for similar action concerning this tract resulted in denial of
such a request early in 1987, and there appears no reason for recon-
sideration. Motion seconded bY Comm{ ssioner Holland and unanimously
passed.
The City Manager submitted the request of Att'y. J. A. Plisco,
who, on b.ehalf of the owner.s of Lots 1 an.d 2, in Block .53, r.equ.ested
use of saxd lands for buildxng and .operatxon of.a gasohne fxlhng
station .thereon. The Council unanxmously declxned to consider this .
request xn view of Or.dinance No..G-207, which prohibits further erection
and construction of f~lling statxons on Atlantic Ave between Ocean Blvd
and West Second Avenue.
