The report follows on the following page, page 2 of these minutes, (minutes continued on page 2) i ~'' l ..~ li (page 2, minutes) Tiighland Beach Town Commission,. 9/25/61. ~ ~ Report on WESTWARD location for ~1EW WELL SITE. RRr. Bruce Darrell, the broker who has been working on securing an im- proved location for the Town water wells, has advised me that he has succeeded' in establishing contact with the owner of the tract in which we are most interested, and that an asking price of X2'7,500. has been quoted'. The piece is about 82 acres. The owner says he has turned down. an offer of X17,000. so it would ap- pear that we should be able to acquire this piece for a cost of not more than ~3,E30©. an acre. The tract in question is.ialw without question the one which is best suited for our purposes. It has every advantage we seek therefore the rest of this report will be conf fined to a summary of the problems in- volved in making use of the land. The land is in Boca Raton. At present it is probably zoned for resi- dential but as it is on the railroad and is adjacent to a light indus- I fact it s no roblem. ~ try zone this should be no problem. ,an p ~, ~, ~~ 1~~ «:'~,..2,., ~..- x s..i ;a , ~... ~ ~' , . t-c.~ ci. .~,.. ~ t ,w-Y^ t-A~ v r*~y. ~,. /t-G''~:~ / V At present no road gives direct access to the tract but the projection of Palmetto Street is almost a certainty. When i talked with Desser & Garfield last year their plans galled for a street and they:had allow- ed enough land to donate .their part of the street south of the section line. We will have to give 25 feet north of the section line. It may tags some maneuvering to establish the street between the railroad and II S #1. If not we might have to secure a right of way. I do not think any real problems are involved as this location is on a Township line in addition to the section line and for years the maps have shaven a street at this point. There will be some technical questions to be solved when we place equipment on this area which has to be co-ordinated with mechanical operations at the present treatment plant as the two locations are about 1300 feet apart. The projected site is bounded on the north by an asphalt plant of The Rubin Asphalt Co. Boca stopped the operation of this plant be cause of dust and smell. However there is electric power to the as- phalt plant so we know that it is available to our proposed site. And as there is a road to the asphalt plant that road will also afford access to the tract we are considering. The tract is peculiarly well suited for our purposes. It could not be better and T recommend that it be purchased for a cost not to .a~- Geed X3,000. per acre.

The question of securing the proposed new well site was discussed in ~! detail and the members of the commission were in accord that it would be in the best interests of the Town to secure the land iP that could be done at a reasonable figure. Comm. ~.rner moved that in the ffiatter of the proposed new well site, a counter offer to purchase be made by the Town, in. the amount of ~18l844.; that the Mayor, the Vice Hagor and the town Kanager constitute a committee to continue negotiations to secure the land at the lowest possible cost not to ~ac~ed X3,000. per acr®.
