Mr. Slinkman presented a brief review of the early history of the RPUD for
the Hoffman properties. Statistics of the original RPUD were reviewed by
Mr. Paul Hoffman, owner of the property. Mr. Hoffman noted the revised
•statistical information for "Hidden Harbor Club" on the "Statistical Com-
parison of Hidden Harbor Club and Ocean Harbor Club, Highland Beach, Flor-
ida", Attachment "B". This statistical report was distributed to members
of the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
A general discussion ensued with a considerable number of Town residents
in audience making inquiries relative to the proposed changes. Mr. Hoffman,
Mr. Brautigan and Mr. Simeone joined in answering questions by zesidents.
Mr. Hoffman noted that approval for fill and dredge has been given by the
Town Commission, as required before approval may be obtained from the
Department of Environmental regulations.
Mr. Brautigan made a conceptual drawing slide presentation showing the
hi rise structure, townhouses, boat marina and garden apartments and the
ocean front recreation structure.
Mr. Hoffman noted that parking in the hi rise structures is underneath
the building, and extending to some degree outside of the building.
Apartments have two and three bedrooms. There are no one bedroom apart-
ments.
In reply to a question from the audience it was noted that the Townhouses
are to be located forty feet from the property line bordering on SR AlA
and will be two stories high. The tower structures will be 225 feet long.
Mr. Hoffman noted that the new plans called for a total of 620 units, a
reduction from the original plan approving 846 units.

Chairman Boscove noted that project plans were 'grandfathered' with the
original RPUD, provided no changes are made. Any contemplated changes
must adhere to the present day code. This is a legal interpretation from
the Town Attorney. Chairman Boscove noted there are no remaining areas
available for RPUD designation.
Admiral Farrin advised that the Planning Commission may not approve any
change in the RPUD amendment. The Commission may recommend any proposed
change to the Town Commission. The Town Commission may then approve or
disapprove the recommended change.
Mr. Hoffman noted there is a ten acre parcel of ground which belongs to
the Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND) and is used for depositing
fill as the Intracoastal Waterway is dredged from time to time. Mr.
Hoffman noted that the mangrove areas on the Hidden Harbor property will
be restored, natural flushing of the area will take place and the area
will remain a wildlife sanctuary.
At the conclusion of the general discussion of the presentation made by
Messrs. Hoffman, Brautigan and Simeone, for the Hidden Harbor Project,
isChairman Boscove called upon the members of the Commission for opinions.
Vice Chairman Johnson indicated he found no objection to the planned pro-
ject and moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Town Com-
mission that the planned project be approved as presented. Adm. Farrin
seconded the motion. Mr. Myers voted aye, Mr. Edlund, voted aye, Mr.
Johnson voted aye, Adm. Farrin voted aye and Chairman Boscove voted aye.
