Highland Beach Town Commission. 1/14/58 The Town Manager presented and read prepared Ordinance #117,the title of which reads as follows; TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH. ORDINANCE N0. 117. AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, IN PALM BEACH COIINTY, FLORIDA, PRESCRIBING RIILES Lie REGIILATIONS FOR THE ERECTION, REPAIR, CHANGE OR ALTERATION OF SIGNS OR PYLONS BEARING SIGNS I1Q SAID TOWN; PROVIDING FOR THE SUBMISSION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND THE MAKING OF APPLICATION FOR PERMITS FOR THE .ERECTION, REPAIR, CHANGE OR ALTERATION OF SIGNS OR PYLONS BEARING SIGNS; PROVIDING FOR FEES FOR SAID PERMITS;AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR INFRACTIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE. After discussion of the proposed Ordinance #117, Comm. Winston moved that it be approved on this first reading. The ffiotion was seconded by Comm. Breckinridge and adopted by the affirmative votes of Comm~rs Bertash, Breckinridge, Eypel, Noble and Winston, without dissent. There was discussion about certain changes which seemed advisable in the Town Zoning Ordinance #106, but with the closeness of the busy winter season it seemed unlikly that any committee could take the time necessary for an intelligent revision of the law which as now written cannot be changed except during the months of December, January, February and March. The Town Manager suggested that one good move would be to repeal that restricting clause which limited the action of the Commission. It was generally agreed that such would be a wise action and the Town Manager was requested to have an ordinance prepared which would accomplish the purpose. The meeting was ad~ourr~.ed on motion of Comm. Winston, seconded by Comm. Breckinridge, and the affirmative votes of Commtrs Bertash, Breckinridge, Eypel, Noble and Winston, with no dissent.
