A recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding
County Petition #72 -41 for a change of Zoning from R -1AA to R -2A on
the Jimmy Casto property on Route 703 and West of Lake Worth was
discussed. The City Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted
to recommend to the County Commissioners that they grant the requested
zoning to R -2A and so informed the Council by memo. Mayor DeLonga
stated that he was not in favor of the change, even though he knew
the planned site would be very nice and desirable; he felt it would
be more attractive as a single family dwelling district, and save
part of the Lake Worth beauty. Mr. Kiedis remarked that the display
presented was a very nice plan of condominiums with almost each
one on a water front and with 7 swimming pools. The Council was
not in favor of the City Planning and Zoning Commission writing
their recommendations directly to County Boards without the Council's
approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission is an advisory board
only. Any recommendations to the County should be made by the Council
Motion by Vice Mayor Wiley that the City Manager correspond with
the County Commission and inform them that we have no objection to
the requested rezoning of this parcel of land, seconded by Councilman
Kiedis. Vote was 3 in favor, Councilman James, Councilman Kiedis

ACCEPT JOHNSON
A recommendation from Mock, Roos and Searcy consulting Engineers that
DAIRY PHASE III:
the City accept the streets in Tanglewood Phase III for maintenance,
was discussed by the Council. Mr. Carlson explained that the
Johnson -Dairy Road portion was an assessment program between the
City and the Developer, Mr. Pappalardo, in which he advanced the
money to pay for the road. The City budgeted their share in this
years budget and the note was payable January 2, 1972 providing the
street was completed and certified by the Engineer for acceptance.
The reason for withholding the certificates of occupancy is that if
there was any damage, the contractor, developer or supplier would be
responsible to pay for any damage that they incur because of delivery
of supplies and equipment. Attorney Brant stated the street could
be accepted on a conditional basis in the event any damage would
occur. Attorney grant was instructed to prepare a resolution for
Regular Meeting February 17, 1972. Mr. Pappalardo will be contacted
prior to action on the Resolution.

PUMP AT PLANT Mr. Devine reported that the well driller at Plant Drive had reached
• water but the centrifugal pump would not deliver sufficient n- -her
of gallons per minute and recommended the purchase of a submersible
pump at a cost of $1312.68. Vice Mayor Wiley felt thf he would
rather have the pump above ground for maintenance purposes and
stated that drilling an extra 30 feet for $200.00 seemed like a
worth while gamble. After considerable discussion Council agreed
to try the submersible pump.
VICE MAYOR WILLY MADE A STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD: Mr. Vince Pappalardo's bid.
"Last week's minutes indicated that Mr. Pappalardo had an apparent
low bid and it was reported in the paper as such, actually in
u
Workshop Meeting February 10, 1972 Page 5
confirmation with Mr. Pappalardo, he misunderstood the intent of
alternate two And he actually came out over $200,000 and the
official bid receipts reflect this, so since our minutes reflected
he was the apparent low bidder, I would like the minutes this week
to reflect that review and evaluation of the bids did not put
Mr. Pappalardo in that situation. Also since we did have a very
unique situation Mr. MacArthur came here tonight�I think it's all
on tape�and I'd like to request the City offices extend themselves
a little bit and prepare a transcript of that conversation as part
of the minutes."
Mayor DeLonga also wants a copy sent over to him and preserve the
tapes.
