Nay 12th 1950
Mr. Charles E. Black,
Manager City of Delray Beach,
Delray Beach, Florida.
Dear Sir:
At a recent meeting of Delray Beach Property
Owners Association, Committee comprising J. B. Evans,
Chairman, Mrs. William Krause and George W. White
were appointed to view streets between the ocean and
the Canal which either had no lights or which were poor-
ly lighted and report our findings to you as Manager
of the City of Delray Beach with the request of the
above mentioned Association that lights be supplied street or
streets listed below.
1. We find there are no lightson Nassau
Street or Miramar Drive but after taking
it up with the residents of these streets
we find they prefer doing without lights
rather than have light poles strung along
in front of their houses. For this
reason we recommend that lights do not
be installed on either of these streets.
2. We find there is not a single light on
Gleason Street and inasmuch as this is
now more or less of a thoroughfare for
traffic and there are now quite a few
horses on.this street, with more being
built, WE recommend light, s. be installed on
this street as soon as .possible.
3. We find that in most places the ocean
Boulevard is poorly lighted and we
recommend additional lighting be...supplied
this hea~i'ly t"~avel'ed street.
From time to time needs of the Beach Section will be
brought to your attention but only such needs as are
deemed to be practical and within the means of the City
to be granted. Will you kindly let me have your re-action
to this request in order the same may be passed on to the
Ass ociation.
Respectfully yours,
(Signes) J. B. Evana

Councilman Jacobs recommended the installation of
street lights on S. E. Ath Avenue also, which is entirely built up
and where there are no lights from §th Street south to 10th
Street.
The request was referred to Councilmen Jacobs and Kabler
for investigation and report back to the Council. The Clerk was
also asked to furbish a breakdown of the cost per month
for street lights during the fiscal year.
The following letter from Donald Scott Sharpe, requesting
permission to build a private dock on City owned property
at the foot of Thomas Street, or on the south side of the
Yacht Basin., was read :
May 22nd, 1980
Mr. Charles E. Black, City Maa~ager
City of Delray Beach,
Florida.
Dear Mr. Black:
I have recently purchased Lot 34 in OCEAN BEEEZE ES-
TATES. This lot is located on the East side of SF~BREEZE
Avenue, 79 ft. South of THOMAS Street. On it I propose
to build a residence for my own use.
I own a 40 ft. Power Cruiser for which ~ would like
to procure dockage close to my new home.
It is my understanding that the South Side of
the Yacht Basin c~ntiguous to OCEAN BREEZE ESTATES
in owned by the City. I refer to a strip between
Basin Drive, where it runs in an East and West
direction, and the Basin itself.
The City also owns a strip approximately 28 ft wide
at the West end of Thomas Street on the East side of
the Basin. It is here that I would ask permission
from the City to build a Dock at my expense, for my use.
In case .this could not be arranged, as a
second choice, I would request permission
from the City to bulls such a Dick on the
South side of this Basin; along side one
which is already there, and to the West
of it.
I would ask that, having invested my money in the
construction of such a Dock I be given a reason-
able time, such as five years, for itsexclusive
use.
I am basing this request on the assumption that this
Yacht Basin was originmlly planned for the use
of Property Owners in OCEAN BREEZE ESTATES, in
which my property, as pointed out above, is
located.
Attached you will find a rough sketch show-
ing the area to which refer, as well as the loca-
tion of the Dock eequested.
Any thing you can do to expedite the granting
of this request by the City will be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely
(Signed)
Donald S, Sharpe.
lll4 E. Atlantic Ave.,
Delray Beach, Florida.
Upon motion of Councilman Holland, seconded by Councilman
Saunders, unanimously carried, the request to construct a Dock
on City property, with exclusive use of same for a period of
five years, was denied, upon advice from the City Attorney
that one person could not be given exclusive use of City prop-
erty except by lease.
The request was referred to th Planning Board for study of
the adoption of a policy for use in the future pertaining to all
City owned Canal Frontage, and also a possible request by an
owner of Canal front property for permit to build mooring
space abutting his own property.
Mr. Dave Davis, operating as DavisDisplays, at 4480
S. W. Terrace. Miami, appeared before the Council, and explained
a proposition to place trash receptacles on City streets.
He outlined a form of contract under which he would furnish the re
ceptacles, to be placed in locations selected by the City ,
and sell advertisements, preferably to local business concerns
to be painted on the outside of the cans, for which the City
would receive a permit £ee. The cans would be attractive
whiteenameled galvanized receptacles, would be maintained
by his Company, and would be removed by him in case of a
He would also furnish liability insurance in the amount
of $ 50,000.00 and property damage insurance in the
amount of $ 5,000.00
Mr. Davis offered to plce three or four receptacles
on the streets for a probationar~ period of time, for
public approval.
City Manager Black considered the proposition
advantageous for the City, as the cost of trash receptacles,
plus their maintanance and replacement, would be saved,
and permit fees would be added revenue.
After consideration, a mo,Sion was made by Councilman
Holland that Mr. Davis be allowed to p~e several of his
receptacleson the streets for a probationary period , to
determine public reaction. The motion was seconded by
councilman Saanders, and upon call o~ roll carried unanimously.
A~letter from W. C. Burton with reference to~ the rear
set-back requirements affecting his property located at
the south east corner of East Atlantic Ave., and Bronson
Ave., was read as follows:

To the Honorable ~ouncil Property 90'0" x
and 101 ' ~"

City of Delray Beach Atlan$ic & Brins0n
Florida
Gent lemen:
While in Delray Beach during the Month of
April, it was my privilege to contact Mr. Black and
Mr. Schrader several times relative to restrictions
on above indicated property. Due to the enforcement
of the "off-Street" parking Ordinance, I was very
much interested in buildings lines, as so much
of the property had to be reserved for the off-
street parking, the remainder of this particular
lot was greatly reduced.
When we left Delray Beach the later part of
the month, I was honestly of the opinion that I was
correct in that the five foot set-back from the rear or
south line of the property and the five soot set-
back from Bronson or the west line of the property
was in absolute'accordance with approvedregula-
tions on file in the City offices. It was indeed
a severe surprise to have Mr. Lawson advise me by phone
last Thursday that the set-back from the south line
was ten and not five feet.
It is our intention to improve at once the rear
part of the property with a four unit, one bedroom
apartment building Next year we expect to improve the
front part with thr~e or four stores with three apart-
ments above and have an attractive patio between. With
the five foot set-back from the rear line for the apartment b
building it would havr enabled us to ~erect the stores witha
depth of thirty five feet and maintain a beautiful patio
between, which we believe will be of attractive appearance
to Delray Beach. We also believe that stores having depth of
thirty five feet are of greater ~mprovement value than those
having lesser depth.
Also, in respect to this particular lot, the property
immediately to thesouth, with the exception of a sixteen
foot strip reserved for a private drive,is the property of
the Presbyterian Church for the use of parking cars of
the congregation. It is becoming more important for all
churches to have adequate parking facilities for the use of
their members as parking problems are becoming more involved
each year. It therefor appears that this property will
remain as open property for many years to come and our hating
our building five feet ~o~th of our south line would in no
wise interfere with the usefulness of their property.
We therefor request your august body to review this
property and g~ant us the privilege of a five foot set back
from our south line with the five foot setback already
granted from Bronson.
Very t~uly yours,
(Signed) W. C. Burton

As Mr. Burtons request was for permission to deviate
from zoning regulations, a motion was made by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilman Holland, that it be referred to
the Zoning Board for consideration and reco~-~endation. Upon
call of roll the motion carried unanimously.
It was explained by the City Attorney that a special
permit did not constitute a zoning change, therefor the
Zoning Board was able to act on such requests, without an
emergency being declared.
A request from Dr. Chas. E. Vogler for permission to
keep two horses on the City owned land on West Atlantic Ave.,
which is leased to the Gladioli Fair Association , during
the summer, was considered. Mr. Lawson, President of the Fair
Association, stated that they were willing to allow not more
than three horses on the grounds, providing the City Council
approved.

Upon motion of Councilman Saunders, seconded by
Councilman Roth, unanimously carried, the Council granted this
request, with the provision that the grounds are kept in
a sanitary condition, and no objections are filed from the
property owners in that vicinity.
Councilman Jacobs stated that he favoredthe motion
with the understanding that sanitary laws will be strictly
adhered to.
A letter from the Garden Club was then read, as follows:
May 20th 19§0
Mr. JohnN. Kabler
Mayor Delray Beach, Florida.
Dear Sir:
The last few years the Delray Beach
Garden Club has been endeavoring to beautify
certain sections of the City. Our first pro-
Ject wa~ The Fla. East Coast Ry. Station. We
raised $ 2300 for that project and have added to
that from time to time for rep~Aoement and
maintainance which is more than we can continue to
do, as much as we would like to do so.
Since then we have secured enough money to
cooperate ~ith the City in planting palm trees
on Atlantic Ave., and planting a cor~er where the
benches are by the R. R.
As Delray Beach is growing and being
extensively advertised for winter visitors as a beautiful
ocean-side city with golf course and other vacation
advantages, isn't it the responsibility of all of
us to see that these things are kept up in return
for the business brought to our
It is our suggestion that you bring
before the Delray Beach City Council the ne~d for
a park c~issioner and an item in the City budget
to enable him to carry on his work. Hs will then
be able to maintain these assets to their resort city
namely the golf course, the grounds around the
railroad atation, the parkway featured down the
center of some streets and the palms along the ocean
front from Atlantic Avenue. You would find
aPark Commissioner would be very busy and a great
help to the City.
Yours very truly,

City Manager Black e~$ained the City had been fur-
nishing water for the railroad beautification, and that
the Garden Club had not previously suggested turning this
project over to the City.
Mayor Kabler, and the Council as a whole, believed that
the City should assist the Garden Club with beautification
projects, which are of great benefit to the City, but that they
should discuss such matters with the Council before undertaking
them, if they w~ll laterneed financial help.
A motion was made by Councilman Saunders, seconded by
Councilman Rott~, that the City Manager be instructed to prepare
a list of present City obligations on Garden Club pro~$~! ~ and
to ,.vise the Club that in the future any projects WhiChlth~ey
undertake which they .expect the City to assume responsibility
for after a certain time, must be cleared through the Council,
in order to budget the expense involved each year. Upon call of
roll the motion carried unanimously.
The following letter from Attorney Paul E. Gringle
was read:
May 19th, 1950
Mr. Charles E. Black
City Manager
Delray Beach, Florida.
Dear Mr. Black:
I expect to be out of the City on May 22nd
23, 24, 25 and possibly 26th of May.
Mayor John N. Kabler has advised me that
the City Council has appointed Daniel H. Murphey Jr.,
as acting Munucipal Judge during my absence.
Mayor Kabler asked me to inform you that
the following Councilmen took this action.
John N. Kabler, WalterA. Roth, and Robert Holland.
I trUst this in accordance with the City
Chart er.
Sincerely,
( Signed)
Paul E. Gringle.
Municipal Judge.
City of Delray Beach, Florida
As Daniel H. Murphy is not a resident of this City,
upon. advice of the City Attorney, he would not be qualified
to serve as Acting Municipal Judge.
Councilman Jacobs recommended the appointment of
W. E. Wilcox as replacement Judge, but under the City
Charter, he would also be disqualified to ssrve unless
no Attorney is available.
A motion was made by Councilman Holland, seconded
by Councilman Roth, that Attorney John H. Adams be appointed to
serve continuously as Replacement Judge, in the absence of
the Municipal Judge. Upon call of roll, the motion carried
unanimously.
Office hours for the Water Department were then discussed
Councilman Jacobs contending that it was an inconvenience to
the public to close the office door at 2 p. m. espacially
between the first and 10th of the month, wen water bills are due.
City Manager Black explained that anyone ~.ishing to
pay a bill after 2 p. m. is taken care of through his office,
which is open at all times, and that the doorsare closes to enable
office employees to workmiwithout interruption, otherwise extra
clerks would be needed.
No action was taken on the matter.
Upon motion of Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman
Saunders, unanimously carried, the closing of all offices in
the City Hall on Tuesday, May 30th, in observance of Memorial
Day, was approved.

Mayor Kabler then advised the Council that he had received
a request from Mr. Scott M. Loftin, one of the FloridaEast
Coast Railway ~o to have the rate of speed for trains through the
City from §5 miles per hour north of N. E. 2nd Street and
and south of S. E. 2nd Street, to 4§ miles per hour.
He stated thqt the present rate of speed was slowing their
train scheduled down.
M~yor Kabler recommended that this request be granted,
with the provision that it would be strictly adhered to.
He believed that the City would need the cooperation of
the railroad when it becomes necessary to run a storm sewer
line under the tracks at N. E. 2nd Street, as well as
other projects, and with this in mind he felt the City Council
ahould grant their request, at this time.
The Council discussed the increased danger at the N. E.
2nd., 4th and 8~h street crossings by an increase in speed,
and also the fact that trains have been passing the 8th Street
crossing at 60 to 70 miles per recently, in violation of
present Ordinance. They also felt that if the rate of speed
were increased to 45 mph. signal lights or traffic gates
should be installed at these crossings.
No action was taken on the request at this time.

Dear Jack:
In reply to your request of 16 May 1950
regarding the future zoning of the property in the
general area in which Mr. Joseph Eughes has made a request
for rezoning, the Delray Beach Planning Board reports
the following:
The Planning Bolrd has had the above area under
study and consideration along with t~s over all
planning, and find's that it's general plan for this
area cinicides with those ~commendations of the Zon-
ing Board for the Zoning of this property.
In reviewing the property zoning on the
Inland Waterway, it was found that there is at pres-
ent over 1200 feet of property fronting the Waterway
which is zoned for limited business. Considering this
in relation to the small amount of total Waterway
frontage in Delray Beach, it is Telt that all property
on the Waterway not presently zoned as limited bus-
iness should be reserved for the future development of
residential and apartment zoning.
Thereforg,the Delray Beach Planning Board
recommends that no additional property on the Inland
Waterway be zoned for business.
Yours very truly,
