presented copies of his letter dated July 13, 1976, Attachment "B", addressed to
Mr. Boscove, concerning comments on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan submitted to the
State of Florida and suggestions for change. Mr. Smoot discussed Chapter 75-257
Florida State Law and Mr. Helge Swanson's letter dated March 11, 1976, relative to
the Highland Beach Comprehensive Plan as submitted to the Bureau of Comprehensive
Planning and the comments outlined therein.
Following Mr. Smoots comments, Mr. Boscove asked if Mr. Smoot would consider acting
as consultant in assisting the Planning Commission in completing the elements of the
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Smoot advised he would assist in drafting a proper Compre-
hensive Plan, reserving the right to stipulate that there are points with which he
might not agree. He advised the Commission he would deliver a draft in original form,
all graphics in black and white with copies for the Town Commission and Planning Com-
mission, with maps.
Mr. Smoot recommended the review of the completed plan by Town Attorney Thomas E.
Sliney, and a summary statement by council on the overall draft. He noted that Chap-
ter 75-257 requires a 5 year update. A cumulative report can be structural to pro-
vide an updated copy at the five year point for reference to establish goals and
objectives. This can be done "in house" with information on hand. Mr. Smoot esti-
mated a 3 month period from "public hearing to Plan" and explained that the existing
land use study may be used for reference.
Following comments made by Mr. Smoot, the Planning Commission engaged in a general
discussion of the procedures outlined by Mr. Smoot. Chairman Boscove thanked the
• guest speaker and Mr. Michael Dent (in audience) for their assistance and recommen-
dations.
