Board had jumped the gun. This Board has done a fine job of running this
Community Center. vfhen they were ask to donate money for different projects
they al~~ys were willing and you l!ill never find a harder working board then
they have been. They donated money to put in h'o more shuffle boards and
various other civic projects. Gentlemen what is your pleasure on this.

it revert back to the Residential status. A Petition was presented by 12
property owners in the area objecting to the extension to this Court. Mr.
Brenzel stated he was against this as I c~~ see vmat it ~ould do to the property
in this area. Mr. Swartz ask the Clerk read the notice that vTas published in

the Zoning Board stated only property vQthin 300 feet of this property could
have a voice in this. Mr. Scofield stated he had come to the meeting the night
of the hearing, but v.JaS not allovred to say anything. He stated the City had
planted palm trees on High'ilay #1 and '.rere trying to beautify the City and also
Florida Shores objected to any Trailer Parks in the City as they only detract.
Mr. Sv.Jartz stated as far as making the City beautifyl he had helped to plant
these trees on the highway. I ask that this trailer court be extended as the
land is locked in and no use to me other1.'~se. K knolt! Mr. Bentz turned in a pl~t
for a road of 40 ft 1,.jhich vlOuld connect up to Riverside drive someday. Counc~l-

explained that the zoning Board '\lath the help of Mr. Talley had been working

Realtor could purchase one of these maps for $30.00. :fuen the Board statted
this work, Mr. Talley estimated the cost to be around $600. This has been a
long hard tedious job and the Board has received no compensation whatsoever
