Constructive Meeting
Last nights meeting was one of
the most constructive gatherings
Of its type to take place in a long
time.
Claude candoIfo and How.
ard Wilson were present to ex-
plain TO City Planners what they
had in mind for the bay bottom
land development along the bovle-
ward. They first plan to build .
large drive-in restaurant at the
Sigsbee intersection corner.
Both men expressed a desire to
work in harmony with City Com
missioners' plans for the future
their plans was pased on the fact
of Key West. Principle objection to
that the marine view would be
blocked from the public. Both May
or C. B. Harvey and Jack Del
any emphatically stated their
objections on this score.
Wilson and Gandolfo offered to
compromise the situation by con-
ceding 60 right-of-way around
the waters edge of their property.
An important feature of this con-
cession is that the two property
owners are automatically foregoing
any future right to fill in more bay
bottom lands in this area. When
such lands are put up for sale,
owner of the upland" property
has the right to buy in preference
to all others. Thus, if the City Of
Key West owns a road around the
Gandolfo and Wilson holdings, it
can effectively block off future fills
by buying the bottom lands itself.
SirUgo Plans
Approval of the proposed ordi-
nance means that Sirugo will erect
a Gulf Service Station at the corner
Of 1St. st. and Roosevelt Blvd.
Delaney appeared to contradict
himself by voting against the pro-
posed ordinance for Sirugo and
voting for it in the area owned
by Gandolfo and Wilson. Insofar
as the erection of a service station
is concerned, any person owning
property in these areas may put
one up providing he first gets the
approval of city officials. Delaney's
contradictory vote was apparently
based on the fact that such ap-
proval was automatically granted
to Sirugo, contingent on the adop-
ton of the ordinance, whereas
Gandolfo and Wilson must still
approach the Planning Board for
permission should they ever desire
to build such a service station.
Rest Beach
Kiwanis Club, requested the City
to consider buying Rest Beach for
a recreational area. Owners have
previously turned down an offer
Of $50, 900 from the City for this
property. It is thought that by OF,
fering a higher price, the City
might now be able to get the
property.
