TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA
PLANNING BOARD
PUBLIC HEARING - MINUTES
November 16, 1988
2: 50 P.M.
Chairman Ward called the advertised Public Hearing of the Planning
Board, Town of Highland Beach, Florida, to order at 2:50 P.M. in the
Commission Chambers at Town Hall.
The Deputy Town Clerk called the roll. Present were Regular Members J.
E. Ward, A. Leng, A. R. Keller, A. M. Fox, Jr., and Alternate Members R.
M. Gregerson and J. Littlejohn. Mr. Gregerson acted in the capacity of
a Regular Member.
Also present were Town Attorney D. K. Friedman, Deputy Town Clerk A. M.
Kowals and members of the general public.
Chairman Ward noted that the purpose of the advertised Public Hearing
was to receive and consider public comments regarding proposed text
changes to Chapter 30 of the Highland Beach Zoning Code. The Chairman
further noted that there were no substantial changes; the main objective
was to put things in chronological order and to clarify a few points.
The Planning Board Members read through, reviewed and discussed the
entire proposed text changes.
Chairman Ward then requested comments from members of the audience.
Mr. Philip Colman, developer of Villa Magna and Villa Nova, residing at
the Villa Magna, commenting on the proposed text changes being reviewed,
noted that Fire Department approval is granted when a developer is close
to getting a building permit --the Fire Department does not review plans
that are submitted for site plan approval. The Chairman advised that
information from the County Fire Marshall states that buildings
exceeding two (2) units must have their certification for traffic
access.
At this point, Mr. Colman commented on the various permit fees and -
stated that, to his astonishment, he finds all of the proposed fees to
be outrageous and unusual. Chairman Ward informed Mr. Colman that the
Planning Board does not have any part in setting the fees; that is done
by the Town Commission -- that matter would have to be addressed to the
Town Commission.
Upon completion of the Planning Board's review of the Proposed Building
Department Procedures, MR. FOX made the following MOTION:
"I propose that a memo be transmitted to the Town Commission
recommending the adoption of the amendments and text additions to
the Town Zoning Code, Chapter 30, Sections 8, 9 and 10, as set
