COUNCILMAN Coin ilman Feeney referenced the December 4, 1984 discussions of our Site Plan
FEENEY
and Appearance Review Cormittee re: their, per the reported direction of the
late Cau-�cilman Kiedis, r-,juirinq developers of property within the City on
Northlake Boulevard to provide for a 55' -wide Green Belt. Members of the Com-
mittec expressed concern, as per Section 16 of Article VIII, Zoning, this
special front yard setback requirement only applies to certain segments of PGA
Snulevard, Military Trail, and A -1 -A State Highway.
Vice Mayor Monroe and Councilman Kiselewski explained that at a previous meet -
i,'�g (i.e., the Workshop Meeting of 9127184), the members of the Council
concurred with the recommendation of the City Manager that because of the
quantity and inadequate depth of the parcels that remain vacant within
the C_'ty on Northlake Boulevard, they not modify this section of our Code to
incluc +c the artery. Developers that choose to apply for PUDs will, perhaps,
be eouIred to have some open space.
Councilman ceeney, who was elected to the Council November 6, 1984, offered
that he felt it would be beneficial, whenever possible, to have open space
along the fronts of projects on Northlake Boulevard too.

Dear Dr, Jason:
This letter is to advise you of the results of my insect inspection
performed upon your 3350 -B Meridian Way, South residence on May 24,
1984.
My inspection revealed an active infestation of pharaoh ants coming
from the ex erior of the structure.
She pharaoh ant is one of the smallest ants found in the world. In
residential areas, these insects nest outdoors in lawns or gardens
and indoors in wall voids, cracks and crevices. They tend to seek
warm and inaccessible areas. In the home, these pests appear to
prefer grease, fats and meats, but they are practically omnivorous.
Pharaoh ants crawl great distances from their nests and do not always
follow definite paths. Therefore, the nests may be difficult to find,
increasing the difficulty of control. Because of their habits, these
pests may 1,e looked upon as potential vectors of typhoid, dysentery,
rood poisoning and other types of bacteria.
If I can be of any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to
call upor. :fe.
Sincerely /yours,
Fredrick Hassut, Jr.

The unit owners in 3350 Meridian South would be given 30 -days
P.)tice to initiate a pest control program on the interior of

2. ",'ter number 1 has been accomplished, the Association will
c ^ntract with a locally licensed pest control operator for the

Dear billy; `1--tino-
CFin" y Adiiirnistrator

i'
slue of crime is an issue that touches all segments of our community-
and cuts accr ss all political, religous, racial and ethnic lines., In addition, it as an
issue thm me its the attention of all municipal and county governmental agencies,
tvl,c'i,er nr rc' - urectly involved in the area of law enforcement.,.
Nobody would argue that the crime rate in Palm Beach County-is
unacceptable., Incidents such as the Ai am Walsh and Karen Slattery murders have
heightened the awareness of many Df our c,tizens and have created increasing and
more vocal demands for improving our Judicial system and law enforcement
procedures. One very common complaint is that the various local law enforcement
agenctes ofte '� do not communicate and cooperate as effectively as they might.,
,-,,,en the differences and the respective sizes, budgets and technical
zss€st,:nce available to the various law enforcement agencies, the issue of inter -
loc! is ad ifficult and complex one.
At a recent meeting, the Hoard of County Commissiorers directed me to
cont._,ct the various municipalities and major countywide law enforceme rt agencies
to seek th�Ar input as to how the County Commission alone, or in conjunction with
other agenci�<,, can assist in the war against crime. For example, a suggestion was
made that a "Crime Commission ", "Task Force" or "Forum" be created with
renresenr._t€ +e•s from all the various affected agencies to discuss the reeds of our
lark enforcement agencies and to search for ways to increase inter- agency
cooperation ,n dealing with the criminal problem. Any and all other ideas along
th`se Imes wo:,!d ye welcome.,,
e-Ie would respectfully request that you provide us with your thoughts on
this matter and your willingness to participate in a joint governmental effort at
Your ear, -est opportunity.
