NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Lowe introduced and welcomed Michael Browner to the
Planning Board.
REVIEW OF DRAFT ORDINANCE RE PROHIBITION OF BOAT BASINS ON LOTS OF
LESS THAN ONE (1) ACRE.
Attorney Sliney stated that the ordinance was a draft of which the
language was derived from the ordinances of Deerfield Beach and
Lighthouse Point for same, but stressed that this particular
language may not fit the definition of Highland Beach's
requirements. He asked the board to discuss and make appropriate
suggestions and changes.
There was discussion on whether the Intracoastal lots should be
exempt from the ordinance. The board was reminded of the large
parcels on the waterway which might eventually put a basin in.
Some members felt residents had the right to build a boat basin if
they wish no matter what the lot size, yet others felt a basin may
hurt value of surrounding properties, and of the lot itself. Ms.
Mariano stated that the Planning Board would be sending a
recommendation to the Town Commission after the advertised public
hearing, and the Town Commission would then make the final decision
of passing the ordinance or not.
Attorney Sliney will revise the subject ordinance in accordance
with discussion today, and distribute copies to the board for their
review prior to the Advertised Public Hearing which is scheduled
for September 11, 1996.
