The Beautification Committee
City Planning Assn.
BY /S/ Alice ~. Snyder Chairman"
~trs. Alice C. Snyder, Chairman of this Committee addressed the
Council, stating that they would prefer Royal Palm trees, but found
it is not possible to plant them in the 30" space; but that these
trees will grow'in that space and not disturb the sidewalks and curbs.
The Garden Club will also recommend that the Adonidia Palm tree be
planted.
Councilman Jacobs commented that this is the right time of the
year to plant the trees, and he felt the price quoted was fair, but
he urged the Council to also consider the planting of arow of noyal
Palms at some later date, inside the sidewalks, on private land.
After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman tiabler that
the plan outlined by the Oeautification Committee of the City Planning
Associate_on to plant Adonidia Palm trees on East Atlantic Avenue be
accepted, and that the City ~ianager be asked to report on its feasi-
bility and estimated cost at the next regular meeting. The motion
was seconded by iV~rs. Woehle, and upon call of roll carried unanimously.
City i¥,anager Lovelace presented application for a Certificate of
Public Convenience and ~ecessity to operate one Taxi-Cab in the col-
ored section, filed by Eorman Townsend, ll8 N.W. 6th Avenue, and re-
commended, that the application be accepted and a hearing advertised
for objections.
Upon motion of Councilman Kabler, seconded by Councilman Jacobs,
and unanimously carried, the application was filed and hearing called
for the next regular meeting to be held on i~iay llth.
An Ordinance to rezone Lots 13 - 20, Delray ~¥~anor Subdivision,

Passed & Adopted: April 2?, 1953
Upon motion of Nirs. ,¥oehle, seconded by .Councilman ~abler,
and unanimously carried, the foregoing Ordinance No. G-162 was
passed and adopted as read.
The application for license to sell liquor at Le Domaine Res-
taurant, located at 1133 East Atlantic Avenue, filed with the Coun-
cil on March 23rd, by Donald Furslow, owner, was then presented
for consideration.
City ~,~anager Lovelsce advised that five letters had been re-
ceived with reference to the granting of this license, four of
which objected and one which approved.
A motion was made by Councilman Kabler, and seconded by ~Coun-
cilman Jacobs, that liquor license be granted to ~r. Donald Puts-
low, operating as LeDomaine Restaurant, at 1133 East Atlantic Ave.
Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously.
A public bearing'was then held on the proposed twelve-month
operation of the Tennis Courts, as recommended by the Tennis Com-
mittee.
Dr. E. l~. Farber, Chairman of the Tennis Committee, addressed
the Council. He stated that after studying the Courts, their main-
tenance, and program, the Committee felt that Delrsy Beach is now
ready for a twelve months program, and had made this recommenda-
tion to the City l%~ans~ger. This decision had been reached after
studying year-round programs in other Towns in this area, which
have been highly successful. In three different years, Dr. Farber
explained, summer programs have been carried out, with free
clinics for children on Saturdays, group lessons arranged, and
Tournaments held, under volunteer leaders, which lessons arranged,
and Tournaments held, under volunteer leaders, which were always
successful. He also pointed out that the Golf Committee has a
year-round ~¥~anager and Pro, and the ~'iuniclpal 2ool is on a twelve
months operation, and the Tennis Committee felt that tennis should
be provided ~lso, under a well-qualified full-tlme ~¢~anager, for
those who wish to play during t~e Summer months. There would be
no additional cost to the City, as the Manager selected would be
responsible for the maintenance of the ~ourts, and the salary now
paid to the caretaker would be paid to him, in addition to his
fees for lessons, and the concessions. He felt that a capable man
could be employed, who would be acceptable to winter visitors as
well as local players.
Mr. Paul Koontz, representing a delegation of citizens who
are in opposition to renlacing ]~]r. ~awthorne Bissell and his wife
with a year-round manager and ~ro, f~led a petit-~ on containing
over 1CO names, and asked the Council to reconsider the proposed
twelve months program, and provide summer supervision in another
way. ~r. Koontz stated that in their opinion summer seather is
too hot to play tennis during the day, and that a summer program
APHIL 27TH, 1953
would be impractical. He contended that Dr. Farber and the Tennis
Committee have not considered the wishes of the tennis players in
making this recommendation. Several letters were also filed on
behalf of ~r. and ~rs. Bissell, lauding the excellent work they
have done at the Tennis Courts during the past five years, and
urging the Oouncil to continue the present method of operating
the 'Courts, and retain the Bissells during the six months winter
season.
Mr. Dick Blum presented a history of tennis in this City, from
19~? when the Courts were turned over to the City, to the present
time, showing that ~ir. Bissell and his wife have consistently in-
creased play on the Courts; and that now better tennis facilities
are provided here than in any other comparable East ~oast Town.
He stated that the demand for tennis during the summer is low
as the heat is not good for the health of children; there..fore there
is no need for a year-round Pro and an organdzed summer program.
Mr. Koontz then praised the work of Dr. Farber as Chairman
of the Tennis Committee in the past, and stated that he and his
delegation were only' fighting a year-round tennis program, feel-
inF it would be a bad move; and asked that this proposal be re-
scinded. If Dr. Father does not understand the wishes of the
tennis players, and will not try to learn their wishes, l¥ir. Koontz
asked that a new Tennis Committee be appointed which will repre-
sent the players. He also asked that the Bissells be given
surance that they will be here next season, and offered to cooperate
in securing a competent supervisor for the Courts for the summer
months. It was also suggested that a woman be appointed on the
Ter~nis Committee, and closer cooperation with Tennis players be
achieved.
Dr. Farber explained that the Tennis .~ourts originated as a
summer Club, although tourists did play during the winter season.
Therefore, he was confident that year-round operation would be
advantageous, under the supervision of a well-qualifled ~anager
and Pro.
~p. E. J. Davis, advised the Council that Nit. Bissell was an
accomplished musician, had organized a fine m~le chorus, and had
contributed to the cultural welfare of the City, and urged the
Council to retain the Bissells on the present arrangement.
Mr. ~. C. Allen filed a letter to the Council, requesti~
that the Tennis Courts continue to operate as in the past, and that
the Bissells be retained, as he felt they bring players to the City,
and have created a hospitable club-like atmosphere at the Courts,
which are definite assets to the City.
Nh-. Bissell then addressed the .Council, emphasizing the pleas-
ant relations he had had with Dr. FaPber, the Chairman of the Ten-
nis Committee, and recommending that the present operation of the
Tennis Courts be continued, as he believed the City was not ready
for a year-round program.
}~ayor Kern requested that the matter be delayed for afew days,
so that the best decision for the City as a whole could be made,
and upon motion of Councilman ~abler, seconded by Councilman Jacobs,
and unanimously carried, it was laid on the table for further con-
sideration.
City ~anager Lovelace advised the 'Council that the five-year
lease with the South Florida Fladiolus Festival and Fair Associa-
tion had expired on April £1st, and they had the right to renew
said lease for s term of five more years on the same conditions.
However, ~r. Lovelace recommended that a provision be made in the
lease whereby Carnivals or Oircuses would be allowed to use this
land, as they are not acceptable in other locations, and this is
the customary Carnival Ground. He suggested that a Circus or Car-
nival be required to reimburse the Gladioli Committee for 8ny ex-
penses incurred, and to post a bond to assure the Committee that
the land and buildings will be left in an acceptable condition.
~r. Lawson, President of the Gladioli Committee ~pressed the
willingness of the Committee to allow the grounds to be used for
Uircuses or Carnivals if the time did not conflict with the Gladi-
oli Fair dates, but requested that any use of the land be subject
to the aDproval of his Committee, as improvements have been made
on the Grounds at their expense, which they must protect.
After further discussion, a motion was made by 'Eouncilman
Kabler, and seconded by Councilwoman ~oehle. that OItv 5~anager
Lovelace and ~r. R. C. Lawson draw up a lea§e accep~atle ~o
APRIL 27TH, 1953
both parties for approval of the Council at the next regular meet-
ing. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously.
A report from the Plumbing Inspector with reference t o a re-
cent examination given, was~ read as follows:

Upon recommendation of the City Manager a motion was made by
Councilman Jacobs and seconded by Councilman Kabler, that Mr. J.C.
Keen be reappointed to serve as a member of the Civil Service
Board for a term of four years. Upon call of roll the motion
carried unanimously.
A preliminary drawing of a subdivision of part of ~uck Lot
141, located east of the Atlantic Ave. bridge, submitted by Mr.
John Stall, owner, was presented by the City i~anager who advised
that the plat provided adequate streets, sidewalks, parking areas,
and the size of lots and setebacks would meet all requirements.
The plat had been approved by the Planning Association, and he re-
commended that it be tentatively approved by ~he Council.
Upon motion of Councilman J~cobs, seconded by 'Councilman
Kabler, and unanimously carried, the plat was tentatively approved,
and the ~syor and City Clerk were authorized to execute the form-
al plat of same when presented.
A preliminary drawing of a proposed subdivision of ~lock 6,
located between ~.N. 1st and 2nd Streets and ?th and 8th Ave-
nues, submitted by Mr. Mike L. Blank,owner, was presented by
the City ~anager, who stated that the size of lots ~nd width of
dedicated streets were in order, and he recommended tentative
approval.
Upon motion of Councilman ~abler, seconded by ~Irs. Woehle,
and unanimously carried, the plat was tentatively approved, and
the Mayor and City Clerk were authorized to execute the formal
plat when submitted.
A preliminmry plat of lots adjoining the ~lunicipal Golf
Course, fronting on the east side of Homewood Ooulevard, which
will be offered for sale, was presented by the City ~anager for
approval of the Council. ~r. Lovelace explained that there would
be J2 lots, all 150' x 135' except two which are located at Tee #9,
and the two corners. He recommended approval of the plat as sub-
mitted.
Upon motion of Councilwoman ~oehle, seconded by Councilman
APRIL 27TH, 1953
Kabler, and unanimously carried, the l~'~ayor and City 'Clerk were
authorized to execute the formal plat of these Golf ~Gourse lots
when submitted.
,City iWanager Lovelace presented an application for license
to sell beer and wine in packages at Gerri & Gent Groceries, 126
S.W. 5th Ave., William Gent, applicant, and as his Police record
had been checked end found clear, he recommended approval of
said license.
Upon motion of ~ouncilman Kabler, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs, and unanimously carried, license to sell beer and wine
was approved es requested.
An application to erect a sign, filed by Geo. B. Courtney,
et Zay's Drive-In Restaurant, located at the ~.E. corner of the
~. Federal Highway and 2nd Street, was presented by l¥~r. Lovelace,
who stated that ~r. Courtney requested permission to erect the
sign out to the property line, as by setting back as required,
the sign could not be seen by traffic on the Federal highway.
He recommended that the request be referred to the Zoning and Plan-
ning Board for consideration of this variance in set-back regula-
tions.
A motion was made by ~,lrs. Woehle end seconded by Councilman
K, bler, that the above request be referred tothe Zoning and Plan-
ning Doard for ~onsideration of a special permit, a~ upon call
of roll the motion carried unanimously.
City N~anager Lovelace then advised the Council that because
of the increase of work in the Tax Department caused by the b,~lld-
lng boom and the active real estate market, an additional Clerk~
Typist is needed, and asked authorization of the Council to ob-
tain applications for this position.
Upon motio~, of Oouncilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman
Habler, and unanimously carried, the employment of an additional
,Clerk-Typist for the Tax Dep~rtment was approved.
With reference to the employment of a City Engineer, ~ir. Love-
lace explained to the Council that it would be difficult to find
a qualified man with the necessar>, training and experience under
the rank of Assistant Director, as set up in the Civil Service
classification. He asked the Council to approve the raising of
the classification for "City Engineer' to that of Director, at a
higher rate of pay, and upon motion of ~ouncilman Kabler, seconded
by ~rs. ~'~oehle and unanimously carried, this change of classifica-
tion was approved.
A survey of lots which are in violation of Ordinance No. G-147
and need to be cleared, as prepared by t~e Fire ~Lief, was present-
