this right-of-way, and any abandonment should be accom-
panied by a sufficient utility easement, not less than
10 feet in width."
He further reported that the Planning and Zoning Board, at its

quest be denied:

the Florida Power & Light overhead system, the present
right-of-way carries two cables and a 2" water line.

consideration has been given in the past to the desir-
ability of opening this line of east-west alleys to
provide service to the buildings fronting on Atlantic
Avenue, thereby keeping garbage and other service trucks
off Atlantic Avenue. To comply with this request, would
put a jog of about 60' in this line of alleys making it
very difficult for large trucks to negotiate."

and Zoning Board and denied the request for relocation of said alley

Camp, a City sponsored project; further, that as a result of informa-

they seem to feel more obligated to the developer of property than to
anyone else, but the real obligation lies with the residents that are
already in an area. He then read a letter from Mr. Jonah Wilson, 801
South Ocean Boulevard, concerning the position of the Beach Property
Owners' Association regarding further development of the Beach Area,
