SPECIAL MEETING
Friday, June 16, 1989 12:~Ig Noon
The Special Meeting of the Town Commission, Town of Highland Beach,
Florida, was called to order in the Commission Chambers at Town Hall by
Mayor Joseph A. Boulay at 12:04 noon. Others present were Vice Mayor
John J. Basso, Commissioners Doris R. Rome, Marvin A. Waldman and Betty
Jean Stewart.
Also in attendance were Town Attorneys Thomas E. Sliney and David K.
Friedman, Town Manager Mary Ann Mariano, Deputy Town Clerk Anne M.
Kowals, Attorney Daniel S. Rosenbaum of Becker, Poliakoff & Streitfeld
representing the Town of Highland Beach and Braemar Isle Condominium
Association, Inc., and members of the general public.
Mayor Boulay noted that this Special Meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing the Boca Highland Litigation.
Attorney Rosenbaum, Co-counsel for the Town and the Braemar Isle
Condominium, addressed the Town Commission and stated that this is a
favorable day for the Town and Boca Highland folks because of this
• opportunity to bring to a mutually successful resolution litigation that
has been on-going since 1987. Attorney Rosenbaum noted that Counsel for
both sides have worked together to prepare the draft settlement agree-
ment which was distributed in advance of this Special Meeting to the
Town Commissioners for their review.
In explaining the draft settlement agreement, Attorney Rosenbaum noted
that the Braemar Isle Condominium Association law suit against Boca Hi,
Inc. would be settled as part of this package. Attorney Rosenbaum
stated that with regard to the 28 single family residences, the
agreement would indicate a 45' height which is to be measured from the
slab up; the oceanfront parcel will have a lesser height that will be
measured in the same manner. The specifics, continued Attorney
Rosenbaum, are set forth in Exhibit B; Exhibit A with the legal descrip-
tion will be submitted shortly by Mr. Delaney. To sum up the agreement,
said Attorney Rosenbaum, this is a good day for the Town and a good day
for Boca Hi--we look forward to 28 beautiful homes that would sell for a
large figure, in the near future; it would be a real asset to the Town
when completed. We urge the Town Commission to approve the settlement
subject to whatever clarification the Counsel may mutually make together
in the next week or so.
Town Attorney Sliney advised that the Counsel for both sides spent
considerable time on this agreement which is a very good agreement to
end a very lengthy piece of litigation for the Town; the "envelope" is
very favorable and the Town should accept this agreement subject to
modification that Counsels would mutually agree to.
