Arthur Eypel, Mayor November 1, 1959. Town of Highland Beach, Florida Dear Arthur, It has become increasingly evident that my other inter ests have made it impossible for me to give Town matters the time and attention they should haee. Therefore it is with regret that I have come to the conclusion that I should resign from the Town Commission. Please consider this as my formal resignation as an official of the Town and as a member of the Town Commission, effective immediately. It was always a pleasure to work with the members of the Town Com- mission and I shall always be glad to be of any possible service in the future. Sincerely yours, Signed J. Bond Winston. °.~?'ri4 „-#3Hs3i•-:c~.~:'r ;f :t.~s'r3~^=.f'.: is iY.'rr3i~ :i -".r:r3;-?e>.c Comm. Breckenridge stated his regrets that Comm.

The Title reads; TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA. ORDINANCE N0. 120 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TOWN ORDINANCE #101 BY REPEALING SECTION 6 OF THE CHAPTER ON TAXATION AND FINANCE. Ordinance # 120 was then read in full and discussed. Comm. Brecken- ridge moved that it be passed on its first reading. Comm. Noble seconded the motion and it was approved by the affirmative votes of Commis Breckenridge, Eypel, Jones and Noble. Ther~was no dissent. The Mayor Presented and read letter Prom Carter-Jebb, Inc. dated October 28, 1959,making an appraisal of X7,000.00 per acre for that part of the Water Works Tract which the Town is selling to the devel- opers of Boca Harbor at a price of approximately X8,000.00 per acre. An application was read from Wm. Mackie for a permit to construct a patio and swimmiing pool at Bellefont Apartments 3415 So. Ocean Blvd. The situation is unusual as it might seem the location is part of the regular beach. Mr. Mackey states that both the reef outcrop and the connecting beach are above mean high tide and properly usable by him as his property and in his application he accepts full responsi» bility for the correctness that such is the-case. The matter is fur- ther complicated by the fact that Mr. Mackie wishes to use as a fil- ter house a concrete shelter erected by the former owner of the pro- perty. Said shelter is not only poorly constru ted but was built without knowledge or permission of any Town off3~~.als. Furthermore it is almost on the property line and thus infringes on the ten foot side yard requirement of Zoning Ordinance #106. By general agreement the Commission instructed the Town Manager to issue the permit pro- vided the filter shelter was made to comply with the proper setback provisions concerning the north property line. For the record a copy of Mr. Mackeyts application is copied into these minutes. (minutes continued on page 4) `~~' -' ~ ~ '~ l;~1 ` (page 4) Minutes. Highland Beach .Town Commission. 11/10/59. Wm.
