A workshop meeting of the Town Commission was called to order by Mayor Horton
on June 28, 1972 at 4 :00 P.M. All Commissioners were present with the exception
U of Commissioner Jurisch.
Mayor Horton informed the Commissioners that re: the condemnation proceedings
on the land for the new Town Hall, information should be available by the end
of next week as to how the matter is progressing. Discussion followed.
The Mayor read a letter received from the Area Planning Board notifying us
that they are a co- ordinating agency and offered assistance for various projects.
Mayor Horton read a letter received from State Senator Phil Lewis, addressed to
Arnold Ramos of the DOT, acknowledging information regarding the 51st Street
Bridge received from the Town and requesting Mr. Ramos to inform him as to
status of the bridge.
Mayor Horton read a letter received from an attorney representing William
Ferrell, a property owner in Town, opposing zoning changes affecting his
property. Discussion followed.
Mayor Horton read a letter received from the Mayor of the City of Miami
requesting support for the Gurney amendment, opposing a State income tax. Mrs.
Roberts was instructed to draw up a Resolution opposing the state income tax
and supporting the general revenue sharing.
Discussion was held regarding a recommended tree preservation ordinance.
Commissioner Joy asked if Mr. DiCampli was still making 8 patrols a day. The
daily report file was brought out for the Commissioners to review.
Commissioner Joy questioned whether the vacating and abandonment of Florida
Avenue would add this land to the tax roll. A letter was read, addressed to
Mr. David Reed, County Tax Assessor from the attorney representing CGC Corp.,
which requested him to take whatever steps are necessary to place this land
on the tax rolls and to assess it with and as a part of the abutting lands
now owned by CGC Corp.
Discussion took place regarding the County Library system and whether or not
Highland Beach would benefit by becoming a part of it. Since many of the large
cities such as Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth and West
Palm Beach are not a part of this system, the consensus was to retain our own
lending library.
Discussion was held regarding dogs running loose on the beach. One solution
offered was to prohibit parking along AlA, thus preventing access to the beach.
Vice Mayor Dent read a letter received from the State of Florida Department of
Natural Resources, citing development along the coast line and how the dunes
and beaches are being destroyed by erosiion so often a product of uncontrolled
development. It is the intent of the Governor and the Cabinet to vigorously
oppose any construction along the beaches that would affect the stability of
these beaches and dunes. This department is now making studies to establish
coastal construction setback lines along the beaches, that may take two years
to complete. They suggest that prior to issuance of any building permits for
construction along the beaches, it may be desirable to have plans and
specifications reviewed by the staff of the Department of Natural Resources

provide for this.
