Each member of the Board expressed willingness to build a small clinic and to develop this land for park purposes, as was originally requested; but, each was opposed to the County becoming involved in the Economic Opportunity Program. Francis Whitfield then requested the County to return the property to the West Wabasso Progressive Civic Club so that they can make an effort to finance this building.themselves. The County Attorney was instructed to research the problem to determine if'this tan legally be done. i Mr. Frank Zorc, who appeared before the Board on August 4, reported that the problem of the'bee hives along the property line adjoining his property still existed. The County Engineer reported that he had requested the owner several times to move the hives fifteen (15) feet from the property line. The County Attorney stated,that, in his opinion, there is a gap on this particular subject in our present zoning reg- ulations, and that the only recommendation he could make was that this Board recommend to the zoning commission that they look into the subject and perhaps amend the regulation. It was the consensus of the Board that they are in sympathy with Mr. Zorc's problem, but, under the present law, there is nothing further the County can do at this time, and felt his only recourse might be a civil action against the property owner.
