I'{ESOLUT! ON
W[I'~:~EAS, It is commonly cor~ceded that Delray Beach's greatest
asset and tourist attraction, is its one mile of public beach, and.
WHEREAS, The public Safety Committee of the Delray Beach Jun-
ion Chamber of Commerce, upon investigation, found that the STEPS
leading down to the beach present a physical hazard to those persons
using them, as a result of an apparent lack of maintenance, which has
lead to their present condition of containing termite infestation,
rotten, loose and splintered wood, lost or loose ]mild rails 81td ex-
posed rusty nails.
THERefORE, BE IT R~LVED: That the Delray Bemch Junior Chamber
of Commerce go on record as requesting that the City of Delray Beach
immediately take action to replace and/or repair all steps leading
on to the public beach, making certain to use treated lumber, which
after cnnstruction shall be p~inted.
IT IS ~IRTtIE~q R~C0.~L~NDED, that rubber step treads be installed
and that provision for continuous maintenance of steps and step
t~eads he nrovided.
/S/ R. N. Ban ting, President
Mr. Lovelace advised the Council that all steps on the public
beach have been put in good and. safe condition, and will be painted

City Planning Association
Mr. Kenneth Jacobson, Chairman
Mrs. Max ~.~'oehle
~[r. William ~urton
Mr. William Mizelle
Dear Committee Members:
Due %o the fact that I am now actively engaged in the real estate
business as a broker-salesman, it is necessary that I resign my
position as Director of the City Planning Association.
I do this with much reluctance as the work has been of great interest
to me and the associations most agreeable.
Thanking you for your kindness and cooperation, I remain
Sincerely,
/S/ II. 2.'McKean"
Councilman Kabler moved th,nt 5lt. -~[cKean's resignation asDirector

JLrLY 13, 1 953
motion was seconded by Nfs. Woehle, and carried unanimously. The
City Manager was asked to thank Mr. McKean, on behalf of the Council,
for his two years of service as active Director of this Association.
Action on replacing Mr. McKean was deferred until the new or-
ganization of the Planning Association is completed, which is now
being Drepared by the City Attorney.

East Coast Gardens, 27 N.W. 5th Ave., From William Becket to Garfield

A report of the activities of the Civil Defense office was Fil-

"July 13, 19§3

weeks with the help of a volunteer group.

/S/ John J. Clark, Director"
Upon motion of Councilman Holland, seconded by Mrs. Woehle, and
unanimously carried, the above report was accepted and approved.
City Manager Lovelace then re,nd a letter Fro,~ Smith & Gillespie,
Consulting Engineers on current Water System Improvements, with re-
Ference to necessary additional work on Well No. 5:
"June 25, 1953
Mr. Robert A. Lovelace
City Mar~~ ger
Delray Beach,Fla.
Dear Mr. Lovelace:
We have Libby and Freeman's letter of June 24, 1953, proposing
to perform additional work on Well No. 5.
The work now completed on Well No. 5 in accordance with speci-
Fications has been accomplished at a cost of something le{s than
$5,000.00. This has accomplished a well which will produce between
650 and 700 gpm. It is possible that additional development might
Further improve this yield some. IF this well is left in its pre-
sent condition, an expenditure of approximately $5,000.00 will be
required to drill another well at another location which would be
designed to produce 1,000 gpm. °uch new well would of course require
an additional pump, controls, pipe line, etc.
It is believed that the work proposed to be done by the addition
. of 15 Feet of ].2-inch screen will permit Well No. 5 to produce 1,000
gpm or more. Under the contractor's proposal, the cost of this work
will not exceed $2,800.00 over the cost already incurred For work now
done.
The rates quoted by the contractor are reasonable for this tyI~
of work and we w-uld be plemsed to have the City a~thorize t]~ pr~ce-
dure.
Yours very truly,
SMITH & GILLESPIE
/S/ Wylie W. Gillespie"

JULY 13th, 1953
Mr. Lovelace further explained that there is a hard layer of
rock at a 55' - 60' level at this location, which is impenetrable to
water, but by adding a 15' screen above that layer of rock, indica-
tions are that the well will produce 1,O00 gpm or more. He recommended
the extension of contract with Libby & Freeman to modify Well No. 5
by installing this additional screen at a cost not to exceed $2,800.00,
and asked the authorization of the Council to i)roceed.
The following Resolution was then presented:
RESOLUTION NO. 905
J[rLY 13th, 1953
Three Standard Large Power Agreements with the Florida Power and
Light Company for service to three new wells, Nos. 3, 4 and 5, were
submitted by the City }Ianager for approval. They are standard five
year renewable contracts, with the special "~'P", or Municipal Water
Plant rate, Mr. Lovelace stated, and have been approved by the City
,Attorney. He recommended approval by the Council.
Upon motion of Councilman Kabler, seconded by Mrs. Woehle, and
~manimously carried, the above Agreements were approved, and the ~iayor
and City Clerk were authorized to execute same on behalf of the City
of Delray Beach.
Application for permit to remodel property located on the north-
west corner of ~. Atla?~tic Ave. and N.E. 5th Ave., filed by Joseph
Sante, was presented by the City Manager. It was explained that
Santo proposes to eliminate the Gas Station on this corner, and create
three store spaces, by erecting walls under the existing roof, and
closing in between the existing columns. This will cause a slight
variation of set-backs on the east side of the building, although
the building itself will be greatly improved in appearance. ~Ir. Love-
lace recommended that the request be referred to the Zoning and Plan-
ning Board for consideration of the deviation on the side set-back.
Councilman Kabler moved that the application £or remode:i~g the
Sante Building be referred to the Zoning and Planning ]]card, as recom-
mended. The motion was seconded by ~rs. ~'oehle, and tu~animously car-
ried.
Roquest of ~Ir. IIenry E. Brunho££ ~or permission to construct a
home on the N.~. corner of Laing Street and l~armon Court, w:ithout
complying with front set-back requirement, was .,.)resented to the Council,
as follows:
"July 9, 1953
~Ir. R. A. Lovelace
City 5~anager
Delray Beach, Florida
Dear Sir:
}irs. Brunhoff and I would like to build on lot, N.E. Corner of
Harmon Court and Laing Street.
If we observe the normal setback requirements, we would lose
advent, age of the best view and the best breeze afforded by that lot.
Accordingly, we would like to move the front line of our house to a
point 36 feet North of the center line of Laing Street. This is 10
feet farther North th~n the property owner on the East and about 13
feet farther back than the neighbor on the ~'est and equal to or slight-
ly more than the setback of the neighbor on the South side. To show
this more clearly, I }mve made a little sketch and submit blueprints
thereof herewith.
l~'e trust that you e~n recommend this to Council and that the Zoning
Board will giv,? us prompt action in allowing us to build our proposed
building in the above position.
Cor,]~.~ 1 ].y yours,
/S/ lIenry ~. I~runhoff'
Mr. Lovelace stated that 5lt. ~r~mhoff proposed to set back far-
ther than adjoining buildings, '~ut l~ss t~en the distance required,
in order not to be cut off from a view of the ocean, and also ocean
breezes, lle reco~uuended that the rrquest be referred to the Zoning
and Planning ~o~rd for constderati,m.
Upon motion of Councilman Kabler, seconded by Co~lnc.i lman Jacobs,
and tmanimously carried, the above request was referred to the Zoning
and Planning Board for recommendation.

tl~is date for objections to the granting of one additional Certifi-
cate of Public Convenience and Nece.~sity to the Delray Beach Taxi

Mayor, but none were pre.~ented.
