MISCELLANEOUS Councilman Walls stated that it had been brought to his attention the fact that the new Library had no back door and several people were disturbed about this. He wished to explain that the original plans for the Library included a back door, but during the communication with Tallahassee; it was suggested that the back door be left out. The back door was not necessary because under the specifications of the Southern Building Code only one door was specified because of the amount of floor space and not more than 65 people would be in the building at one time. Also, with only one Librarian it was one less door to be observed. He stated that there were no objections to a back door to the Library, but to do it now we would have to request a work order through Tallahassee and this would result in a lot of delay. It would be best to wait until the City accepts the Library and then add a back door if needed. Mr. Maxwell asked what they would do if the Library should catch on fire with children in there and only one exit. Councilman Walls stated the Southern Building Code said a back door was not necessary, but after the Library had been accepted by the City; a back door would be put in if desired. Mr. Richard Hanson then made a request for a back door to be put in as soon as the City accepts the Library. Councilman Lodico asked how many children would be in the Library at one time, to which Councilman Walls replied as many as eight or twelve at Saturday readings. Mrs. Murton stated that at one time they had as many as thirty children on Saturday mornings. At this point, motion was duly made by Councilman Walls that a door be installed in the rear of the Library as soon as it was accepted by the City. Motion was seconded by Councilman Mosher and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. Councilman Lodico at this time, explained that the paint is wearing off of some of our street signs and if anyone knew Qf two or three boys sixteen or seventeen years of age with transportation, to send them to City Hall to see about getting the job of painting these signs. It would be a good job for them and help the City too. Mayor Cairnie stated that the City did this two years ago and the boys did a good job. Page 4 of 5 Pages "0 ,,' o <.) o Mr. Petrovich of Silver Ridge asked about the possibility of getting a street sign at the entrance of Silver Ridge naming Silver Circle. Also stating the residents would like more street light at the entrance. Councilman Lodico stated that a street sign would be put up and that the present street light on Silver Circle would be brought out more toward the entrance. Councilman Bebbington stated that a street light would be put on the post on the southwest corner. Mr. Petrovich then asked what had been done about cleaning up in Silver Ridge. Attorney Hall explained that he had written to Mr. Alexander about the removal of the trailer but as yet had no reply. Councilman Lodico explained that Mr. Shippee would see that the Street Department would trim within two feet of the curb. Mr. Roy Troy of Silver Ridge wanted to stress the urgency in cleaning because of the toddler to teenage children that play in the streets~and the danger of snakes and so forth in the growth. Councilman Lodico stated that the City is presently working on it. Mr. John Zeilman asked the Council if Edgewater had a planning board. Mayor Cairnie replied no, but we are in the process of forming one. Mr. Zeilman stated that he had lived on 30th Street for nine years and still no street lights had been installed. He thinks some planning is needed. Councilman Lodico made an appointment with Mr. Zeilman for 2:00 P.M. on Thursday to take Mr. Shippee and look over the situation. Councilman Lodico stated that he had talked to Mr. Lawrence Galbreath of the County Road Department and was told the County is going to pave Mango Tree Drive. It had been delayed as the County was trying to keep people away from their pit. Since this has failed, Mango Tree Drive will be paved providing an access for Florida Shore residents to Park Avenue without going through Edgewater Acres. Mrs. Robert Garthwaite of Silver Ridge asked where the road is to be that connects Silver Ridge with Florida Shores. Attorney Hall stated that no road had been accepted yet. Councilman Bebbington explained that Mr. Alexander had offered a lot in the south section that was undeveloped which would connect with 25th Street. Councilman Lodico showed her on the map approximately where it would be. and that we are waiting on Mr. Alexander to acquire a loan from FHA. There being no further business, Councilman Walls made a motion that we adjourn. Counci~man Bebbington seconded the motion. Minutes taken by Patricia Spencer.
