Mr. John Wise, Gee & Jenson; was present to give Council an update status report on the drainage and street resurfacing program, • Mr. Wise told Council that the overall program seems to be under control and he is very pleased. He gave the following breakdown 01-0~-$0 -02 Riverside Drive culverts- work has begun and should be completed next week, Drainage Ditch, Dover Road area- should be cleaned next week, Seabrook cleaning- should also be cleaned next week, Country Club Drive- no activity this week on the resurfacing and drainage in the area. Mayor Brown asked if this was holding up the bicycle path on Country Club Drive. The Village Manager said it was not, that we were waiting on the county. The Village Manager also told Council that Mr, Morley, Palm Beach County, was making his recommend- ations to the County at a ..January 15, 190 meeting and that the bicycle path on Country Club Drive would be top priority. On the Denver Road area Mr, Wise told Council that the contractor did a computor analysis on the incorrect drainage installed in that area and as it stands now there would be drainage in that area to relieve it of high waters but does not match up to the basic design. The contractor is willing to make a cash settlement if allowed to keep the drainage "as is".

The Association feels that the change is unecessary and unwarranted. Mr, Hinchliff told Council that the address change would cause a lot of inconvenience for the residents of Blowing Rock, He named a few examples of things that the residents needed to change ie; bank accounts,credit cards, stationery, The Village Manager told Council that when the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions was annexed into Tequesta the Building Official changed the address of Blowing Rock to obtain uniformity in the numbering system on Beach Road. Mapes commented that he feels the way in which the people were notified is not the way the Village of Tequesta should do things. He was referring to the letter dated November 16, 1979 sent. to the property owners of Blowing Rock Condominium, James Coble, Tequesta Association of Voters and Taxpayers told Council the Tequesta Association of Voters and Taxpayers supported the rescinding of the address change. The Building Official told Council he feels the Building • Department has a pretty good rapport with .the people of the Village.

There have been seven (7) Ol-0$-~0 -OLD parcels of land annexed into Tequesta recently. In accordance • with Florida State law these have been annexed to Tequesta with a County Zoning, The Village Attorney and Village Manager felt it best to petition Palm Beach County for Zoning reclassification to conform with the Village Zoning for these seven (7) parcels of land. Councilmember Mapes asked if there was need to hurry on any of these parcels of land. John Giba, Planning Consultant, told Council he thinks its good business to move this forward because he feels the Village needs to clean up the Zoning Map, The Village Attorney advised from his legal standpoint the Village should petition Palm Beach County now, Yoder moved, "that we proceed with all the parcels that we have annexed as described in the memo from the Village Manager to the Council of January 2, 19b0 (see attached)", Cook seconded and vote on the motion was: Brown -f o r Cook -for Mapes -for Ryan -for Yoder -for and therefore the motion was passed and adapted, • The Village Attorney also told Counc~.l that in th€: future. should someone petition- to come _i.nto the V~~.~age, he feels, they should petition first Pa~.~r~ Beach ~:.`~ounty for a :zoning change before petitioning the Village for annexation of their property. The Council gave their approval for the next person(s) that request to be annexed to seek County`s a~?~roval for zoning change first. This way Council could see how it works, The Village Attorney told Council that he, the Village Manager and the Village Building Official reviewed the Lighthouse Plaza, as instructed to do so by Council,. He told Council that he basically went back to the first letter from Mr. Stanley Harte to see what improvements Mr. Harte had promised to do. Mr. Harte had agreeded to fix the parking lot, replace broken tile, remove trash from parking lot, install fire signs in fire lane, plant trees and grass in strip on either side of the entrance and exits and so far as he could see all the things, with the exception of the the replaced broken the have been complied with, He informed Council he could advise Mr. Harte that these missing tiles are a safety hazard and the Village would like them replaced. The Village Attorney said he was thinking of drawing up an Ordinance that would bring the commercial areas up to the other areas in Tequesta as far as looks and landscaping are concerned. Council told the Attorney they would like very much to see an Ordinance like that. • Councilmember Yoder presented Council with a written statement he had prepared on his question should the Village support the Jupiter Inlet District in its efforts to further open the river estuary by constructing a channel 900 feet long by 100 feet wide? O1-0$-$0 -05 In his statement, Yoder said that because shrimp grass has been • found in the river it has become a controversial issue. Yoder said that if the dredging is allowed there will be no channel where there was no passage before, there will be no filling, no bulkheading and no heavy usage of power craft. He told Council that the Village has put their money on the line by donating Plantreat to ENCON and by bringing the Village's storm drainage system up to the quality required by the environmentalist of today. He presented to Council a Resolution entitled, A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, IN SUPPORT OF THE JUPITER INLET DISTRICT'S REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A CHANNEL 900+ FEET LONG AND 100 FEET WIDE IN THE WATER OF THE LOXAHATCHEE RIVER ESTUARY, Yoder moved, "that we adopt this Resolution".
