representative for Palm Beach County, assured the public that the
County is very sensitive to these issues and has taken all into
consideration; that a geologist has examined the property and
identified locations of Indian burial grounds. He stated that the
plans consisted of a raised boardwalk with sides running from AlA to

OTHER BUSINESS
DISCUSSION RE ZONING CHANGES (PER CHAIRMAN'S REQUEST)
• The Board reviewed changes the Town Commission made to their
recommended changes to proposed Zoning Code. Attorney Sliney noted
that no substantial changes had been made except for some minor
language changes and references to the CAB, on the basis that the
board will be dissolved. It was noted that the Town Commission will
hold a 2nd Advertised Public Hearing on July 25.
Discussion moved back to the Rezoning issue for the County Park,
regarding the approval of rezoning and approval of the site plan,
with some concern being express on how the Board could approve a
rezoning without first holding discussion re the site plan. It was
reinstated that these are two separate issues, with the rezoning
needing approval first prior to review of site plans. After further
discussion, the following MOTION was made by MR. CHURCH/MR TEICHNER:
THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE TOWN ENGAGE MARTY
HODGKINS TO LOOK AT THE TOWN'S CURRENT PROCESS ON
REZONING, AND SEE WHETHER THERE COULD BE A COMBINED
PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR REZONING AND APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
MOTION met with unanimous approval.
With no further business to come before the Board, MOTION to adjourn
was made by MR. HAGELMANN/MRS. COLARULLO at 11:05 a.m.
