"The Planning Board unanimously recommends that the City
owned property at S. E. 10th Street and s. E. 6th Avenue
now being developed as a recreational area, be dedicated
as ~PAUL S. KNOWLES PARK~."
City Clerk Worthing explained this was the City property just East
of S. E. 6th Avenue and South of 10th Street on which in part is lo-
cated the Boat Ramp, and if Council should act favorably upon this
recommendation of the Planning Boar~ he belieVed it would be in order

recommended by the Planning Board. ~?he motion was seconded by Mr.
Avery.

appropriate permanent plaque to' be placed in the ~park With a properly
worded inscription. Mr. Avery suggested that the City Manager be

6.e. Concerning a request for City instaXlation of a seawall on the
right-of-way of the Easterly projection of S. E. 4th Street, City
Manager Holland informed the Council there was approximately 25 feet
involved, and since there would be a lift station installed in the
4th Street right-of-way near the Xntra~oastal Waterway, felt the sea-
wall should be constructed. ~urther, that property owners to the
North and South of this right-of-way are having a seawall constructed
along their property, and to have the same Company construct the sea-
wall. for the City would cost $325.00.
Mr. Talbot.said he felt the cost of the seawall should come
from the sewer fund.
Mayor Dietz asked if the Council wished to make a motion
authorizing the construction of the 25 feet of seawall providing the
cost of same comes from the sewer- funds, it being so moved by Mr.
Ta lbo t.
City Manager Holland explained this had been discussed and there
had been no specific need for the seawall until the engineers deemed
it was necessary to place a lift station, at that location, therefore,
the seawall is necessary to protect said sewer installation and it
is .perfectly in order to charge same to the sewer fund.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Avery and carried unanimously.
7. There were no petitions and communications.

City of Delray Beach
T~ iS the corner of N. E. 1st Avenue and Atlantic, ~onsisting
of!l~} feet on Atlantic, adjacent and West of the Bon Aire
I have every reason to believe that the owners would consider
leasing the property for one year with an option to purchase.
at the end of the year at a figure of $50,000. The. lease of
course would be based on 1/10 of the sale price.
A definite answer on this could be had'in two days if we have
a bona fide offer. I will be pleased to sit down with any or
all of you together with the Parking committee at any time
that will suit your convenience.
Thank you for your consideration."
Letter from Irene Moore, dated November 15, 1963:
"I offer Lot 18, Block'100, of the city of Delray Beach, Fla.,
to the city upon the following terms:
(A) $75.00 per month for 1 year.
(B) On or before 1 year, the city may purchase the lot for
$15,000.00.
(¢) During the term of the lease as in (A) above, there shall
be no city taxes assessed against the lot.
This offer shall be good for 14 days from the date here-of."
Letter from Paul Myers, dated November 18th, 1963:
"I am writing this letter as Agent for my step-mother Bernice
Myers, who has a life estate in Lot 19, Block 100, City of
Delray Beach.
This will confirm that she is interested in leasing the same
to the City at $75.00 per month subject to the City assuming
the cost of improving the same and removing any structures
presently thereon. Further this is or would be a net lease
with the city paying all future taxes, city and county, including
any assessments made during the term of the lease.
If this is acceptable, it is believed that possession could be
made just as soon as arrangments can be made for the tenant to
re-locate who is presently occupying the same.
.All expenses involved in drawing the lease would be at the City's
expense." -3- 11-26-63
"to the Delray Beach City limits, along both of these frontages
and is zoned C-1 by Palm Beach County.
Lindell Boulevard directly connects with Avenue.L as' it crosses
U. S. No. I Highway. This creates a direct link between Tropic
Isle and Tropic Palms. Del Raton Boulevard also connects the
Old Dixie Highway, Linde11 Boulevard and U. S. No. 1 Highway
at this point. Linde11 Boulevard is a main traffic artery for
the southwest section of Delray Beach and also the northwest
Section of Boca Raton. In the next few decades, Lindell Boule-
vard could possibly carrythe flow of 5,000 automobiles per
day. The immediate area adjacent to this proposed rezoning
could become the 'Times Square' of Delray Beach before the turn
of the century. ~Times Scluare~ was probably zoned R-lA when
the Indians sold Manhattan Island for a handful of silver coins
and a gallon of whiskey.
If the City of Delray Beach is to fulfill its destiny, ~our
old men must dream dreams and our young men must see visions~.''
The City Clerk informed the Council they may want to refer to
this letter later tonight under Agenda item 9.c.
5.a. Mr. Woodard referred to a letter received from Colby Design
indicating that as a result of sewer construction in the 300 block
on N~ E. 3rd Avenue there was damage done to the off-street paved
parking area 'in front of their business, and the extent of the damage.
Mr. Woodard gave Mr. George Switzer of Russell & Axon the letter in
order that same may be taken care of.
5.a. Concerning a conference which has been set up with the City
Fiscal Agents,~Mr. Woodard asked if there was any Council objection
to his being absent from said conference as he desired to attend
an annual Plaruling/Zoning Conference in Sarasota, Florida on the
6th, 7th and 8th of December, 1963, and that he could be informed
of what transpired at the conference with the P!scal Agents from the
minutes of said conference.
5.a. Mayor Dietzannounced that there had been a Civil Defense Alert
from Washington today at 2:05 P.M. which came through to DelrayBeach
satisfactorily, that Gulfstream received it via Delray Beach at 3:05
P.M., and everything in this area had responded wello
5.a. Mr. Barrow commented about a tractor being left in the middle
of the alley lying between N. E. 4th and 5~h streets and 7th and
8th Avenues for a three week period of time,
Mr. Jack Steinhilper of Russell & Axon, Consulting Engineers,
said he would check this item and give an answer tomorrow.
City Manager Holland informed the Council the tractor had been
left at that location for that period of t/me due to repairs that
were necessary before it could be moved.
City Manager Holland then asked if the contractor was to put
the alley back i~n shape or would the City do that. Mr. Barrow said
that since the alley could be driven through before the sewer con-
struction, he felt the contractor should leave the alley in good
enough condition that it could be driven through.
During comments, Mr. Avery explained that there were many areas
in town that were parkable before the sewer installation that were
not parkable now, and since the specifications were that conditions
should be left equal to or better than they had been, it may be
necessary that some other material be added by the contractor in
~rder to get the necessary compaction.
