Regular meeting, all present.
Minutes of meetings of November 28 and December 5 approved.
C.Y. Byrd - Letter written to City Manager Edmond November 11,
1947, re: Weir property in Ocean Park. City Manager stated on
November 4, 1947 that the Council had agreed to accept the
Resolution on M~s. Weir's terms. Question of improving in
accordance with that deed has come up. Letter was misplaced and
Has Just been discovered. Situation would not be as it is unless
this letter had been agreed upon. Agreed to that r/w deed on
certain conditions. Believe the cit~ is obligation to ~o on the
conditions of this letter whic~ the Uity Manager agreed upon. My
client ~ould like to have the permit or ~ave.the conditions of the
resolution rescinded and put it back on status quo. I donlt
believe you should have the dded and not carry out the conditions
of the agreement. Don't think it will be harmful to the city plan.
Mr. Jacobs- Mr. Edmond remembers nothing about it. No letter on
file in the city and no reference to it in the minutes.
Mr. Kabler - No conditions in the motion accepting~it other than
the motion to accept the resolution.
Mr. Byrd - My file speaks for itself. Letter that was sent to the
city with notation when it ~as handed to Mr. Edmond and the date
and time. During the time l~r. Edmond was City Manager I never got
a reply to a letter I wrote to him. It is a matter of record in
my files. When you review other special permits granted in town
there is nothing more unusual in this one. City Pool is setting
on a line at the comer.
Mr. Byrd - Resolution was adopted by the City Council December 5,
1947 on the conditions of this agreement.
Mr. Saunders - Don't believe i~ this agreement had not been made
that Mrs. Weir would have deeded property to th~ city.~ In my own
I believe that that condition was one of the reasons Mrs. Weir
signed the resolution.
Mr. Kabler - If you firmly believe that those are the terms on
which the contract was accepted, you have no alternative except
to return the contract or change the zoning.
Mr. Jacobs - she should pay for the sidewalk.
Mr. Byrd - Let Mrs. Weir come up and give you first hand informa-
tion. I only have my records to rely on. City property on the
corner, then Varno's then Weirs which are short properties. Only
two tracts which are severely hurt.
Mr. Kabler - After the 194.~ hurricane we had to decide where
the boulevard was. We settled on the Brockway line. Most property
owners hale signed these resolutions deeding property east of the
boulevard to the city. Pool is slightly back of the Brockway line.
A special meeting was to be ~eld ~®cember 14, 1950 at 4.'30
with Mrs. ~eir present.
Mr. Byrd - Asked passage of a resolution to the County Board of
Commissioners on what you want frc~ the State Road Department
in next year's budget. Have requested improvement of East Atlantic
Ave. to the boulevard from U.S. 1 to Ocean Blvd. No. 9 from
to Lantana should be requested from the StateRoad Department, and
also from the Board of Uounty Co~m~issioners and al so the request
