Item #1 . Commissioner Mumford was present to hear recommenda-
tions from the CAB. The following points were made:
1 . Town sign ordinance is effective and much needed.
2. Absentee lot owners don ' t keep up property, so periodic State
mowing is very helpful.
3. Mr. Urbanek' s cleared, unused lots are an eyesore. Mrs . Mumford
said he was going to have them seeded.
4. Litter along the road is unsightly and should be removed.
Mrs. Mumford said the town pays to have it picked up.
5. Mrs. Mumford stated the future building sites will be fenced
in to make them more sightly.
6 . It would be advantageous to have beach litter picked up at
the town ' s expense.
7. Some emergency plans should be made in advance of a storm to
find a proper refuse disposal area and devise a proper clean-
up procedure.
8. when builders litter, why aren' t heavy fines levied to insure
proper cleanup? In Boca Raton the trash removal regulations
are posted. If the Sanitation Inspector finds a violation, a
warning is given. If not corrected in 24 hours , a summons
is issued.
9 . Boca Raton Ordinance #2163 requires builders to post a bond
to insure that building sites are cleaned up.
