City Attorney's Report - Old Ordinance on Street Widening City Attorney Walden said there was one item he had not brought up eS the previous night, which was the application of interpretation of thei street widening ordinance down on Old Dixie Highway. He said, in 1954 'f when the ordinance was adopted, as to Old Dixie Highway, it proviced that i the building setbacks from each side of the center line would be 331 , and it was thought at that time that the State Road Department might eventually want a 66 ' right-of-way. He said, that at that time the right-of-way on Old Dixie was 40' in width, therefore, each side from the center line would be 201 . He said, later, on the south side, the owner gave to the city another 101 , so that if the Commission let the old center line remain steady, and you got the initial 20' plus the 10' the owner gave, the present owner would like, then, would like to build a building that would set back another 6' and that if the Commission measured all these things from the center line, as it existed in 1954, you would have total setback, if the Commission went along with the builder, of 351 , whereas the Ordinance requires a minimum of 3.1.1 . He said, however, if the Commission keeps tipping the center line to the south as the city acquires additional right-of-way from the south side of 70' making the owner set back. He said he thought the Commission should adopt the center line as it existed in 1954 when the ordinance was adopted and, if the Commission would do that, the builder would have no problem. Thy builder is asking to build his corner within 6' of the existing right-of- way land. The area in question is bsh_nd Joe' s Bar on Old Dixie Highway. After some discussion, Commissioner Waiters moved that the interpreta- tion of the street widening ordinance, as it existed in 1954 from the center lin�-y be adopted. Commissioner Marant seconded the motion. The Commissioners voted as follows: Marant Yes Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed. City Attorney Walden said he interpreted this motion that the Building Inspector be told to let the builder move 2' closer from where they are building presently, i. e. closer to the street.

Commissioner Marant further said, that according to the figures the City Clerk had given the City Manager this date, it appeared to him as though there would be a $22,674.00 surplus as at August 31, 1968. Mr. Clay, said this would be as of September 30, 1968, as he had estimated the month of September in that he figured the city would not have as much revenue ® coming into the city . City Manager Goldberg asked Mr. Clay what revenue he estimated as at September 1st and Mr. Clay said $45,956.70. Commissioner Marant asked that $22,674.00 of that figure be put into the surplus. Mayor Kelly said the $22,674.00 was the difference in the proposed tax levy with the increase and his proposal. Commissioner Marant said he would like to say there were two police budgets handed in to the City Manager and he would recommend that the first budget, which entailed a five-day week and also a pay increase, be put into the budget and to leave the advertisement as it is until the Public Hearing on August 12, 1968, a Monday night.
