A letter written to Mr. Offutt concerning the feeling of the Council about these items was read. Attorney Lord stated that Mr. Offutt had talked to him about the Village's requirements and told him that he would have reads built to conform to the Couneills wishes; that he felt any exclusions in his petition would be easier to get into the Village if contiguous lands were in the Village; and he stated he did not feel the necessity for underground drainage in his proposed development. Council was in agreement that roads and drainage were of prime, importance to the Village in any new sub- division and that proper plans 'and specifications for both are of great importance. It was the general feeling that drainage would present a serious problem at the intersection of Seabrook Road with Tequesta Drive especially as the lands north of Tequesta Drive are developed. It was the feeling of the Council that the Village should first secure a copy of the drainage plan for Jupiter in the Pines Section of the Village from their engineer and should hire a competent engineer to give council his opinion of the proposed drainage plan in respect as to what would be adequate drainage for the areas north of Seabrook Road draining to Tequesta Drive. It was brought to the attention of Council that the Village Charter provides that all plats for subdividing lands presented to Council for their approval shall have specifications equal to or exceeding Palm Beach County specifications.
