Minutes of Meeting of Town Commission
PUBLIC HEARING
Tuesday, March 7, 1989 5:01 P.M.
The advertised Public Hearing of the Town Commission, Town of Highland
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Betty Jean Stewart at 5:01
P.M. in the Commission Chambers at Town Hall. Others present were
Commissioners Robert F. Scholz, Doris R. Rome and Marvin A. Waldman.
Vice Mayor Basso was absent.
Others in attendance were Town Attorney David K. Friedman, Town Manager
Mary Ann Mariano, Deputy Town Clerk Anne M. Kowals and members of the
general public.
Mayor Stewart noted that this advertised Public Hearing was called for
the purpose of receiving public input and to consider the adoption of
the following:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING
THE ZONING CODE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, CHAPTER 30,
CODE OF ORDINANCES, BY AMENDING SECTION 5, SUPPLEMENTARY
DISTRICT REGULATION, BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY
• DISTRICT REGULATION; PROVIDING FOR OPEN SPACE AND RECREATIONAL
LAND DEDICATION; REQUIRING THE DEDICATION OF OPEN SPACE AND
RECREATIONAL LAND, OR THE MAKING OF "IN LIEU" PAYMENTS BY THE
DEVELOPERS OF MULTIPLE FAMILY UNITS AND SINGLE FAMILY UNITS;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
At this time, Mayor Stewart requested public comments.
Mr. Philip Colman, a Highland Beach resident, requested that the Town
Commission seriously consider making some modifications to the proposed
ordinance that he considers eminently justified: 1. The Town Commis-
sion accept the unanimous recommendation of the Planning Board so that
the phrase "within a reasonable time" would read "within a reasonable
time not to exceed five years"; and 2. the final section be amended to
read "That this ordinance shall become effective on adoption and shall
apply to any property for which site plan approval has not been
approved."
Mr. Colman further noted that in response to his inquiries at prior Town
Commission Meetings with regard to why the cut off date was changed to
7/26/88 and what the phrase "substantially benefit the residents of new
development" means, a written reply was received from the Town Manager
advising that the date was changed at the recommendation of the Town
Attorney at the 8/30/88 Workshop Meeting of the Town Commission.
The Town Commission held lenghty discussion with regard to Mr. Colman's
. request to modify the proposed ordinance. It was the consensus of the
Town Commission that the phrase "not to exceed five years" should not be
included in Section 1 (g) and Section 4 should remain as is.
