Mr. Peter A. Foglia, on behalf of Handshake, Inc. appeared before the
Commission with plans showing engineering details of the Bel Marra sub-
division, and asked for an early decision on the pending question as to
whether the Town would annex the tract into the Town of Highland Beach.
Comm. Eypel and Hertwig were in favor of such annexation. Comm. Breckin-
ridge and Winston were opposed and suggested that some data should be
obtained giving a definite idea of what revenue the Town could expect to
derive from taxation as well as the sale of water. After a general dis-
cussion it was decided that Mr. Foglia would secure the data requested
and present it at a meeting to be held in the near future.
Mr. Donald F. Ross, as a taxpayer stated his opposition to the proposed
annexation. He asked if the Commission had any objection to his discuss-
ing the question with other property owners to learn their attitude on
the question. The commissioners said it was his right to do that if he
so wished.
There was discussion about a proposed law concerning signs and some sug-
gestions presented by Mr. Donald F. Ross were read to the meeting,a dbut
no formal action was taken.
On motion of Comm. Noble, seconded by Comm. Breckinridge and approved by
affirmative votes of Comm. Breckinridge, Eypel, Hertwig, Noble and Win-
ston, the meeting was recessed to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, January 11, 1957,
at which time it was hoped that Mr. Peter Foglia would be able to pre-
sent the estimates of revenue to be expected m the Bel Marra sub-
division. 4F
