This meeting had been called at the request of the Golf Committee

B. C. Butler, Warren G. Grimes, W. H. DaCamara and Pete Cole to

Following discussion of the Country Club,s activities it's
Members, through Chairman Fred McNeece advised the Commission of
having decided, for the best interests of all concerned, to effect
a change in the management of the Club.
The Gol~ Committee further informed the Commission of having
solicited many proposals from various Golf Professionals and
submitted a proposed lease agreement to the Commission with the
recommendation that the proposal of Ray Haynor, in the amount
of $6,750.00 per year with prepayment of the first and last
month,s portion thereof, be accepted.
Mayor Yargates read the proposed lease, as presented by Golf
Committee Chairman Fred McNeece.
Commissioner Snow recommended some minor amendments and Commissioner
Cromer expressed his desire that the Committee take necessary steps'
to maintain a reasonable charge for each operational activity and
that a Bond of sufficient amount be provided by the lessee to
insure proper liability and protect the interests of the City.
Commissioner Snow then moved that the Golf Committee be instructed
to handle this matter and draw up an amended lease agreement for the
Commission,s approval. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Cromer
and unanimously carried.
City Manmger Lawson then presented the revised plat of Hio Del
Hey Shores as prepared by the subdivision,s developers Mr. Don
Mitchell and Mr. Bill Miller, previously referred to the Planning
Board, and read the report of the Planning Board as fol~ows~
October 31, 1956.
Rio Del He~ Shores S/D. The Board felt that there were three
basic 'reasons for some ~eViation from the letter of H-1AA zoning
restrictions;
(a) The proposed plat is immensly better than the existing
platted development of many fifty-ft, frontage lots, which the
owners could legally proceed with, for far less cost and trouble;
(b) The unusual condition of a strip of commercial zone east
of the Federal Highway backed by a good quality residential zone
without the usual buffer of R-3 or R-2 zone between. The developers'
solution, using a 40' R/W dividing street limits the remaining
residential strip in depth. Large lots here might be difficult to
sell, directly behind commercial property, thereby working a
handship on the developers.
(c) The Owners, restriction requiring a residence area of
1500 sq. ft. min., an increase over the 1250 required in H-1AA.
In spite of deviations in lot size of several lots, and of
normal requirements of street frontage, the Board recommends
acceptance of the Plat as drawn on the print dated Oct. 29, '56, and
with the notes shown on the plat print dated Oct. 25, t56, with
the following provisions;
1. setbacks: front (street) 25 ft.
~terways 15 ft.
side lines 10 ft.
2. general basic orovisions:
area drainage approved by the City Engineer,
sewage disposal in accordance with Board of Health rules,
satisfactory assurance to the City that the developers
build and finish-pave all streets shown,

final plats returned to the Planning Board for approval,
prints of the approved plat to be filed with the City showing water
supply lines, fire hydrants, power poles, street lights (if any),
invert elevations of storm sewers and sanitary sewer~ (if any).
Commissioner Cromer moved for approval of said plat in accordance
with the recommendation of the Planning Board, subject to final
acceptance by the Zoning Board, Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Snow and unanimously carried.
The City Manager then read the following recommendation of the
Planning Board concerning the deviation request of Mr. Wright Bart;
Mr. Wright Bart request for deviation in front setback from
S.E. '5't~ Street to '20 ft. (from 30 ft. requirement of R-1AA)o
After considerable discussion the Board agreed that a basis
for deviation existed for two reasons;
(a) the property adjoins the strip of C-2 business zone east
of the Federal Highway, which allows construction out to a ten
ft. setback from the street frontage, and
(b) the 60 ft R/W from Federal to the canal is not required
for service to no more than six lots, particularly since th£s
street does not continue west of .the highway, being blocked
by the property used by the Women.s Club. It was felt that this
street should be reduced to a 40 ft.R/W with a turn-around at
the canal o
The Board therefore unanimously reco~m;iends that the deviation
be granted. It is further recommended that the Commission consider
the possibility of reducing the 5th Street R/W as noted above.
Commissioner Snow moved for approval of said deviation request
as recommended by the Planning Board. Motion seconded by Commissioner
Barrow and unanimously carried.
City Manager Lawson then informed the Commission of the coming
meeting of the A~.~JA, in Daytona Beach, pertaining to water supply
and distribution, and that he would be unable to attend.
The Commission unanimously agreed that Commissioner Cromer
should attend this meeting and that the City ah ould defray the
expense incurred.
Commissioner Strong requested the Commission's consideration
for granting the Playhouse Group the use of the Civic Center for
the coming season.
The City Manager informed the Commissioner that this matter
is on the agenda for Monday's regular meeting.
Commissioner Barrow moved that the City Manager be instructed
to contact the Recreation Committee concerning the possibility of
another Playhouse Season,s operation within the Civic Center. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Strong and unanimously carried.
