Council present.

The Mayor stated several matters required
the attention of the Council, among which he mentioned
the need of cleaning up unsightly conditions existing
at several places in town. This matter was referred,
to the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee for remedy
and Mr. Crego agreed to have these places cleaned up
providing the Street Committee would clean up the
alley running through the North end of Block 69 from
First to Swinton Avenue. This the Chairman of the
Street Committee also agreed to do.
~Mr. Hall reported Mr. Zook, who owned con~
siderable property on South Dixie Highway, which he
contemplated developing shortly, had requested that
this section of town be re-zoned to come within F.H.A.
Loan requirements. After discussion, in which it was'
stated that it was improbable anyone in that locality,
would object to such a change, it was finally moved
by Mr. Miller that the Clerk be authorized to
a letter to Mr. Zook advising that when the next
ment is made to the Zoning Ordinance, property
on Fifth Avenue, between S.E. First and S.E. Fourth
Streets, on both sides of said S.E. Fifth Avenue, and
running back to the alley, will be changed from Zone
"C" to' Zone' "BIf District, and that the map be changed
accordingly. Mr. B~~shaw seconded the motion which
c arried unanimouslY.~

building in Delray Beach during the Winter season.
