Request and Analysis:
The Applicant is requesting site plan approval to construct a new three-story, 9,397 square foot
single family residence with pool/spa, and a dune walkover. The property currently contains a two-
story single family residence that, according to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, was
built in 1968.
Pursuant to Section 30-67 of the Town Code, a single-family detached dwelling is permitted in the
RS zoning district subject to site plan approval. Section 30-31 of the Town Code indicates that single
family residences require site plan approval from the Planning Board who is the decision-making
authority for such development requests.
The Applicant has received approval from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(Permit No. PB-1439) for the proposed new residence including the proposed dune walkover. Note
that Section 30-68(i) of the Town Code states that dune walkover structures shall require Planning
Board approval.
On July 20, 2017, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Town of Highland
Beach entered into a Landscape Inclusive Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA) for
the purpose of maintaining landscape improvements on State Road A1A (South Ocean Boulevard).
Section 28-10 of the Town Code indicates that the property owner shall be responsible for the
maintenance of all landscaping located on their property and on adjacent public rights -of-way.
Given the Applicant is proposing landscaping on FDOT’s right-of-way, an amendment to the
MMOA is required. The landscaping proposed on FDOT’s right -of-way has been conditionally
approved by FDOT (Permit No. 2023-L-496-00004) subject to approval by the Town Commission
of the amended MMOA. A resolution to execute such amended Agreement will be considered by
the Town Commission. In addition, pursuant to Town Resolution No. 2021-041, Town Commission
approval is required for construction improvements within FDOT’s State Road A1A right-of-way.
The Applicant is proposing new driveways and therefore a Town right-of-way permit (approved by
the Town Commission) is required. The Applicant has received FDOT approval for the new
driveways (Permit No. 2022-A-496-00058).
Pursuant to Section 30-38(6) of the Town Code, the Planning Board shall approve or deny the site
plan application. The approval may include conditions which clarify, but do not exceed, the
requirements of this code. If the request receives Planning Board approval, the applicant will be
Page 10
required to obtain a building permit, prior to initiation of construction, from the Town of Highland
Beach Building Department. Pursuant to Section 30-21(g) of the Town Code, commencement of
construction shall be initiated within two (2) years following the date of approval by the Planning
Board.
Staff has reviewed the Applicant’s proposed request including plans date stamped received by the
Building Department on June 27, 2023 and finds that the project is consistent with the Code of
Ordinances.

Good morning Ingrid,
It should be fine for the applicant to relocate the siting of the walkover to be moved further south as
long as the conditions of the permit are still followed; e.g., no further than 10 feet seaward of the
vegetation line, etc.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks,

EXTERNAL MESSAGE
This email originated outside of DEP. Please use caution when opening attachments, clicking links,
or responding to this email.
Nathan:
Thank you for providing the correct plans associated with the permit. As discussed earlier today, the
proposed dune walkover is required by Town Code to comply with the zoning district side setback of
12 feet. While compliance with this setback is provided on the Applicant’s proposed draft site plan
submitted to the Town (see attached), it is not in compliance with the setback on the plans
submitted to FDEP. That said, and based on our discussion earlier today, you informed me that if I
documented this discrepancy, the permit would still be valid even though the dune walkover will be
located a bit southward (approximately 6 to 7 feet). Kindly confirm.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Allen
