SOUTH BROWARD NEWS EDITION OF THE FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS 16A Miramar For 300 Patient Shifts Studied County commissioners have instructed Welfare Director Arnold H. Hanson to study the proposal for the transfer of nonpsychotic senile patients from the mental hospitals in West Hollywood to private nursing homes. Initially, the program would $75,000 to $100,000 a year cost, addition to what the county now budgets for nursing home care to the indigent. The mental Health Association of Broward County made the proposal and secured the support of numerous civic groups and chambers of commerce for it. Commissioners brushed aside the suggestion of Commissioner J.

Herbert Burke that the problem be approached from a legal rather than financial viewpoint. In asking that Hanson be given the job of studying the Mental Health Association's proposal for upcoming budget talks, Commission Chairman F. R. Humphries said, "This is a matter of money." Burke said the problem was broader. "The county should look forward some day to building a brand new home of its own," Burke said, adding that the legal limits of the county's authority should be defined.

APPRAISAL ASKED Burke said a "fair appraisal of the law" which spells out what the county may or may not do in caring for the mental patients should be made. He questioned whether the county could remove mental patients from South Florida Hospitals once they have been adjudicated incompetent. Mrs. Power Sharretts, executive director of the Mental Health Association, said that the county judge and examing psychiatrists have in some instances "leaned over backwards" in committing border line senile because there was no other facilities for them. She said that according to a recent survey about 40 of 119 senile patients from Broward County at S.

Florida State were considered hotic. people, she do not belong in a mental hospital. Burke agreed but said that because of the increasing number of elderly residents more thought should be given on how to care for them. F. R.

FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS, March 25, 1964 OKs Zoning Apartments Vote Split On DCA By JIM WHITESHIELD (Staff Writer) MIRAMAR Zoning to permit construction of the first big apartment project in Broward County's fourth largest city was approved -last night by a 3-2 vote of the city council sitting as a zoning board. Councilmen John Marini and Joseph Campbell voted against the measure, questioning the good faith of the applicant, Development Corp. of America, in promising a double row of single family homes as a buffer between existing single family residential area and the proposed 300 unit apartment project. "What's to stop you from coming back later and asking to have that buffer rezoned for apartments?" Campbell asked Alvin Sherman, president of DCA. "I don't know whether we should let you go ahead with two-story apartments until we find out what's behind the complaints from people who bought some of your single family homes." Campbell was referring to a rash of complaints from a number of purchasers of DCA homes.

Joseph Dodds III, a Hollywood architect, commissioned to investigate the complaints and return a report, but recently was fired from the job over delays to submit the completed report on his study. SHIFTS PLANS Sherman redrew his original plans, which would have started the apartment area along the south side of SW 33rd to move the entire project 250 feet south. The 250 feet he established as a block of single family residential lots and another 50-foot street between 33rd St. and the existing homes. Homeowners had protested that they "don't want the back of apartment houses looking out at us," despite Sherman's assurances that such would not be the case.

The vote to recommend approval of the zoning came aft er Sherman promised the city a letter pledging to build a model home "in the middle of the block so the whole block has to be developed in single family homes. The model is to be built within year after the plat of the area is recorded. Marini forced the letter from Sherman by questioning whether DCA would ever develop the 32 residential lots in the buffer strip.
