MRS. ANN P. MURPHY, PRESENT.
Mrs . Murphy, acting on behalf of Karl-Heinz Sorg, said the application
for a 6 ' high green vinyl chain link fence to run across the front of
Town Lot #48 (4019 South Ocean Boulevard) was submitted at the sugges-
tion of the Highland Beach Police Department.
This vacant lot is used by trespassers to gain access to the beach. As
a result, the area is congested, on weekends, with cars parking illegally
and the site becomes unattractive due to the litter, debris, etc. , that
is left behind.

The seaoats were set on fire during the dry season. Fortunately, Mrs .
Murphy was able to extinguish the fire before it spread. The neighbor-
ing residents are seeking some relief from this awful situation.
Chief Cecere stated that this is a problem area . The Highland Beach
Police Department makes an average of thirty arrests per month at this
site. Chief Cecere strongly recommends approval of a fence which will
be posted with 'NO TRESPASSING ' signs. Any trespassers will receive
citations from the police.
The site is a vacant lot with much greenery that will hide the fence .
Running from North to South, it will be attached to an existing fence
on either end. (A path to the ocean runs East to West through the
property. ) The posts of the heavy galvanized chain link fence will be
set in cement and it will be installed 65 ' from AlA.
