The Regular Monthly Meeting of theXouncilmen of the Village of Tequesta
, was held Tuesday, August 13, 1963, at 2:-30 P.M. at the Church of the Good
Shepherd. Councilmen present were: Messrs. Valier, Cornelius, Turnbull
and Stewart. Also present were Robert Harp and Attorney Paul Potter,
Attorney Charles Houston, representing Dorothy M. Rankin et al,
owners of property at Corner of Seabrook and Dover Road appeared before
the Council to discuss the Village's intent to annex this property as shown
by Ordinance No. 67 passed June 11, 1963. Mr. Houston questioned the
description as stated in the Ordinance because of the use of the phrase
"Lying west of the County Road ". He further stated Mrs. Rankin wanted
to use the house as a multiple dwelling,, a use which it has had for
many years, even though zoned R -lAA by Palm Beach County. He stated
it was a non - conforming use when the County zoned the area. He stated
that he and his client had heard rumors that the Village intended to con-
demn the property after it was annexed. Council explained that the pro-
perty was completely surrounded by R -1 Residential areas permitting only
single family dwellings. He stated his client does not desire to be
annexed to the Village unless assurrance is given that it can be used for
miltiple family dwelling purposes. Mayor Valier stated perhaps it could
be annexed with a stipulation that as long as it is owned by the present
owners it would be zoned for multiple dwelling purposes but revert to
single family residence (R -1) zoning if and when itshould change owner-
ship. Attorney Houston said he would have to confer with his client.
Attorney Houston was told that an Ordinance providing for the annexation
of this property would be given first reading at the Council meeting of

Palm Beach County Sheriff Martin Kellenberger about incarcerating-of
Village prisoners in the County Jail. He stated an agreement had to be
signed lay the Village and County so that this service would be available.
The Clerk read the agreement and several Council members felt that con-
siderable liability was placed upon the Village and questioned whether
or not there is a need at present for.holding prisoners. Chief Dusenbery
stated that this is a normal agreement and pkecedure between Sheriff's
Departments and Municipalities as a protection for the Sheriff and that
he believed we should have such facilities available to provide proper
police services. Attorney Paul Potter was asked his opinion of such an
agreement and specking as Mayor of Palm Beach Shores he said he had made
such an agreement shortly after assuming office as Mayor. Stewart moved,
seconded by Cornelius that the agreement for incarcerating Village pri-
soners in the Palm Beach County Sheriff's facilities be approved and the
Mayor and Clerk authorized to make such agreement. Motion passed.

the name of the person, firm or corporation lettered on either side of the

of notifying offenders and giving one weeks time to correct.
A notice pertaining to the Florida League of Municipalities Annual
Convention was read and a letter from the Florida League of Munipalities
advising that advertising in the Municipal Record Convention Issue was
available was read.
The Church of the Good Shepherd made a request to place their
Conventional Church Sign at the corner of Seabrook Road and Tequesta
Drive so that transients and visitors can locate the Church. Itrith the
construction of the new shopping center just south of the Church, it is
becoming more difficult to locate. The Church believes the red, white
and blue sign would identify an Episcopal Church more easily just as other
Churches have uniform signs to denote their locations. The present sign
oridnance does not provide for this type directional sign. Mr. Harp
said he had talked with Mrs. Schull, Chainan of the Beautification
Committee, and she had suggested an additional sign attached below the
present Directional Sign at this intersection and to have a cross on it
to designate a Church. It was suggested that the Church ask the Zoning
Board for a variance or to see if the Church vmuld like the additional
sign on the Present Directional Sign as ecpla.ined above.
Mr. B. 11. enni.nger was granted permission by Council to install
entrance lights at Dover Road and Tequesta Drive, said lights to be
maintained by Mr. Renninger.
Police Chief Dusenbery was requested to survey the traffic pattern
of the new shopping center on Tequesta Drive where the Minit Market and
Laundry are located. Since the entire area is paved to Tequesta Drive,
cars enter and exit at any spot and create a definite traffic hazard.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
10:15 P.M.
