HALPERN the minutes of the November 19, 2007 Regular meeting were unanimously approved. NEW/OLD BUSINESS REPORT (to Town Commission) OF JOHN PAGLIARO AND PUAL RESNICK REGARDING DOT'S OBSERVATIONS OF OBSTRUCTIONS IN AlA RIGHT-OF- WAY. • Mr. Pagliazo thought the Commission would have agreed that the Board should proceed with looking at the obstructions on AlA and how the issues could be corrected, but that was not the Commission's response. Mr. Resnick expressed his disappointment with the Commission's response, and felt as if he were being chastised for getting involved in the matter. He noted that the Boazd had been looking into this for sometime and was surprised at the outcome. Mr. Dawson felt there was a communication problem as to whether the Commission wanted staff or the Boazd to investigate the issues. Chairman Pagliazo read into the record his letter to Mayor Hagelmann dated December 19, 2007 (attached hereto.) He thought the Commission would respond that there were concerns that needed to be addressed, but felt the Commission may have interpreted it as the Boazd was coming to them with what they want, and that was not the case. The board wanted them to agree or disagree with what the board presented as their findings. Mr. Reidenberg's comments noted that reflectors aze not a benefit to the Town and that is an example of the type of items which aze unbecoming and should be addressed. He felt that the issue was if the Commission wanted to address the obstructions or if they wanted the Boazd to do it. Mr. Pagliaro felt that the Commission knows the Boards concerns and expects that they aze going to address it through staff. n LJ • Code Enforcement Board December 19, 2007 Page 2 of 2 The following MOTION was made by MR.

Hagelmann Town of Highland Reach Commission 3614 South Ocean Boulevard Highland Beach, FL 334$7 Dear Mayor Hagelmann: I want to thank you and the commission once again for the opp unity of allowing us to present the Code Enforcement Board concerns regarding AIA ght of way at your December 4, 2007 regular meeting. It is. importantthat.I clarify that.the. Code Enforcement.Board's. .oncern is with the appearance of the A 1 A right of way. Our intent was to present t ese concerns and hope that the commission would take the necessary steps to rectify th m by creating codes that would allow us to monitor and enforce same. Again, we are not concerned with existing trees and permanent structures, but rather with items that are temporary and unsightly. It appears that the commission's concern is who would be respo sible as well as for the logistical and procedural matters. My understanding is that the c nsensus of the commission is. for the Town Manager and. his staff to recommen what codes, if any, should be addressed. Clearly, the Cade Enfarcement Board wou d monitor and enforce those codes. We request your guidance as to what,. if any, action should be fiery truly yours, ~~ ~Q G,catrcr- ~-~J John J.
