Honorable l[ayor & City Couacil
De!ray Beach
Florida
Gent~en:
I have been requested by 1~. C. Y. B~d, Attorney for the Reid
Develooment, to submit to h~ for his consideration a plan, app~ved by the
Cnunci!, for the gr~di~ and pa~ of Gleason Street, from At~ntic ~.venue
to Inqraham Street and also paving of Ingraham Street from Gleason Street
to the 8cean Boulevard.
I ha~ ~de an esti~ of the cost of this const~.~ction in the
amount of $ 6~0~.O0. I believe t~s figure wi].l ~ mo~ than ample to
cover the cost of this construction.
!~ith the appro~l of Council, I would like to sub~t the abo~
mentioned cons%~ction cost to l~r. Bjn'd ~th an agreement that i.f the
construction of this project would cost a lesser amount, the difference
would be returned to his client. If there should be any additional cost,
This amount to bn borne by the City.
~e proposed pavi~ width on Gleason Steer is to be 32 feet,
and 2 20 foot pavi~ width on Ingraham Steer, this being ali the rf~ht-of-
way dndicsted for street purposes on Igzraham Street.
It is to ~ a~reed that the construction is not to proceed until
the $6,~)O.00 has been deposited with the City.
~ery truly yours,
H. P. ED~O~D

L'r. Edmond exolained that the prooert? owners on Gleason Street
were going to petition the City to pave the street to a width of 1~ feet.
In this way the street would be paved to a width of 32 feet from Atlantic
Evenue to Ingraham Street, and 20 feet from Gleason Street east to Ocean
Boulevard at the expense of the Reid Development Company.
Counci]3nan ~ite urged that the street level be raised enough to
take it out of the iow wate~r level, to avoid having to re~ave C!eason Street
when Atlantic Avenue is ~ai§ed in c~nn~ction with the reconstruction of +,he
Atlantic Avenue bridge.
City ~anager Edmond explained that the street level shou~td not be
raised above the propert2? level as it would pocket *.be wat~.r o? either s~de,
but for the estimat~.d cost of $6,000.00 he~ thought Gleason Street co~d be
raised above any normal water level on Atlantic Av~.nue.
A motion was made by Councilman McNeece, seconded by Councilman
l~hite, that the City entel- _~nto the proposed agreement with ]~r. Reid, with
the understanding that the City be allowed to pick up su£fici~nt fill from
abutting property to raise the street as outlined by Nr. Edmond. Upon call
of roll the motion carried unanimuusly.
A letter from }~r. F. J. Schrader, who is developing a new Sub-
division on North SwLnton Avenue west to 5~.~?. 2nd Avenue~ was read as follows:
"April. 29, 19L~.
Hooorable ~ayor & City Council
Delray Bea ch
Florida
! have secured a tentative estimate for Daring a street through
property, extending from North Sv~nton Avenue, westward to Northwest Second
Avenue. The street dedication will be 50 feet in width with a proposed oavi~
width of 22 feet.
I as also dedicating 25 feet along the westerly side of this prooerty
for the proposed extension of Second Avenue.
Mr. Edmond, the City EnKineer, advises that the City car: paw=~ this
width street for aporoximately $!,500.OO. I would like for the City to proceed
at once with the oavS_ng of this street, for whf.ch I will deposit with the City,
a check for $1,500.O0 in payment thereof.
It is agreed and ~aderstood the Cit? will bear any additional cost
over the above mentioned amount and I will be returned the difference between
$1,500.00 and the actual cost if the sa~.~e, is of a lesser amount.
I have gone through the expense of purchasing a lot facing $w~_nton
Avnnue on which this street is to be located. This was done to meet with the
requirements of the Cit[l; P!a~ning Board and the City Council.
Hoping you will be able to take action on this at once as I expect to
!ea~.~, town for the surmner and would lil~ to have this paving in the near future,
I am
