BOOK 9 PAGE 513 a Mr. Ed Fleis, of Williams & Works, and Mr. Elwin Buchanan, the Grants Director, appeared before the Board and proceeded to open the bids for the Water System improvements known as the GKN Water Line Contract #2, Section B, Colon Road. Three bids were received and they are as set forth in the bid tabulation sheet attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. The engineer requested and was given time to check and evaluate the bids. The Board then discussed with Mr. Buchanan his regular reports concerning Community Development and Grant activities. In the course of the discussion the public hearing held by the Division of Environmental Management on the Grant application for waste water collection systems from the Lee County allocation, was brought up. The Board indicated it was willing to let the Town of Broadway have the remaining funds in the Lee County allocation if the City of Sanford would agree to withdraw its application. However, since the City had taken a contrary stand at the public hearing, the Board authorized mailing of a letter to the Division of Environmental Management, stating that the Board was willing to assist the Town of Broadway in any way it could to obtain the additional funds for the completion of their project. Mr. Elwin Buchanan reported to the Board that the Community Development Council recommended that the Board accept the low bid of Hart Land- scaping Company in the amount of $700. 00 to complete the demolition of a house on Register Street, cut a small drainage ditch and install joints of underground drainage to a driveway entrance. The Board, upon motion of Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker, seconded by Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne, moved that the recommendations of the Community Development Council be accepted and that the bid of Hart Landscaping Company in the amount of $700. 00 be accepted. The motion was adopted by a roll call vote in which Commissioners Funderburke, NNielsen, Rhyne, Wicker and Harmon voted for it and no one voted against it. Mr. Buchanan reported to the Board that the Community Develop- ment Council recommended that the lot.acquired by the County when purchasing the house which has been demolished, which lot is only 25 feet wide and will not meet the requirements of the City of Sanford zoning ordinance, be sold. HUD has directed that the property be appraised and then offered to the adjoining property owners. The amount bid by the adjoining property owners should be submitted to the HUD for their approval. The Board authorized Mr. Buchanan to follow the directed procedure and to report his findings to the Board for approval. Mr. Howard F. McGinn, a newly appointed member of the Personnel Board, was present and was introduced to the members of the Board. The Board next took up for consideration, the matter of the public hearing on the proposed Airport Hazard Ordinance. Upon motion made, seconded and unanimously adopted, it was resolved to declare the public hearing open. The Chairman announced that the Board had advertised the public hearing in the manner prescribed by law and that the meeting was now open. Mr. W. M. Womble, Chair- man of the Airport Commission, was recognized and representatives of the Godfrey family were heard. After all persons who indicated any desire to speak had been heard, the Board closed the public hearing, upon motion of Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker, which motion was seconded by Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne, and unanimously adopted upon a vote. The Chairman then called for the pleasure of the Board with respect to the Airport Hazard Ordinance, and Commissioner Clyde J. Rhyne moved the adoption of the Airport Hazard Ordinance, which bears the full title: " An Ordinance Regulating and Restricting the Height of Structures and Objects of
