Village Manager's Message 841-3380
Denriis W. Kelly, Village Manager
Approximately three years ago the Village celebrated the closing
of [he topless bar on Northlake Boulevard known as Crystals. The
closing was predicated on [he fact [hat an adult entertainment fa-
cility at that location was illegal. Following four years of litiga-
tion the Village prevailed and the restaurant was shut down and
put out of business. There seemed to be a sense of relief and a
collective sigh among the Village residents after it closed. How-
ever, the purpose of this Manager's Message is to inform you that
we aze not completely out of the woods yet regarding the deterio-
ration of businesses on Northlake Boulevard. If you observe care-
fully on Northlake Boulevard there are other undesirable busi-
nesses that we are unable to control through specific zoning or
land use regulation. There curten[ly exists a massage parlor, a
tattoo parlor, an adult video store and a sports bar, which will go
unnamed, that presents numerous problems to our Public Safely
Department. In addition to the businesses just described we are
also experiencing a number of vacant buildings. The First Ameri-
can Bank building (formally known as Southern Tmss Company),
(ironically) Crystals Bar and Restaurant, the Chevron Station on
[he corner of Prosperity Farms Road and Northlake Boulevard and
the no name bar locatedbe[ween Price Funeral Home and the Sai-
gon Sun Restaurant. In addition, unless a buyer is found soon,
Caters Furniture will be vacated. Although there are some healthy
-businesseson-Northlake-Boulevard-it-is-very-much-a~mixed bag-of
successful and seedy businesses coexisting. Although not offi-
cially confirmed, there is a strong belief [hat [he cost per square
foot for commercial space on Northlake Boulevard has been
steadily dropping over the years (depending on the size, age, loca-
tion and condition of a given building).
In order to reverse the trend toward low and marginal quality land
uses on Northlake Boulevard it is imperative that we make a se-
ries of deliberate, yet bold, moves to improve our community.
The Village Council has been diligently working on creating what
is now termed as the Northlake Boulevard Overlay Zone in con-
cert with the town of Lake Park, [he City of Palm Beach Gardens
and Palm Beach County. About four years ago [he three cities
and county joined together to form the Northlake Boulevard Task
Force. Two of our Council Members have been very actively in-
volved as regular members of [he Task Force. The Task Force
has retained expert consultants [o develop a Northlake Boulevard
plan in which the Northlake Boulevard Overlay Zoning has be-
come an instrument to implement that plan. This is the first step
that needs to be taken to prepare the Village [o have the regulatory
tools it needs to reverse some of [he downward cycles of property
In concert with the Overlay Zone the staff has been preparing the
Council, through a series of presentations and educational up-
dates, on theconcept of creating a re-development district along
the Northlake Boulevard Corridor within the Village of North
Palm Beach. A redevelopment district is just what it says: a dis-
trict or area identified and designated for re-development. The
Florida legislature provided the tools for local governments to
create re-development districts and implement their success
through a very unique funding mechanism. A re-development
district must be governed 6y a duly designated body known as a
Community Re-development Agency (CRA). A CRA is governed
by a Board of Directors or Board of Trustees; in most cases a City
Council will designate itself as the CRA Board. The CRA is a
statutorily approved method by which municipalities can take
areas within their community that need upgrading and apply cer-
taintax incentives to reverse the downward economic trend of
T x E V I L L A G E N E W S L E T T E R
w U6UST 2002
uses in the designated district. One of the keys to a successful CRA is
to have a good solid zoning program that encourages improvements
and enhancements to the public properties and develop a core business
that will energize [he district area.
One of the ideas that we have been attempting to keep the citizens of
the Village informed about i.s the relocation of the US Olympic Canoe/
Kayak National Headquarters from Lake Placid, New York to North
Palm Beach. The relocation application is being sponsored by the
Palm Beach County Sports Commission in an effort to lure the Head-
quarters to Palm Beach County. At the same time the Sports Commis-
sion is looking to the Village because of our easy access to the water-
ways and the canals as a prime location for the headquarters. The Vil-
lage has informed the Sports Commission that we have a number of
vacancies on Northlake Boulevazd that access the Cl7 Canal in which
the Headquarters could be located. We are still a long ways from lur-
ing the Headquarters [o North Palm Beach but if-they do decide [o
come here and they find a location suitable to their interest they could
be the impetus for launching a redevelopment district along Northlake
Boulevard.
A CRA is a method that municipalities can use [o set up the incentives
for improving a business district or a neighborhood. The CRA is au-
thorized by Florida Statue Chapter 163 and provides municipalities
with a financing method known as Tax Increment Financing (TIF).
The way a TIF works is once a district has been designated on a map
all the properties within [hat district have property values as deter-
mined 6y the pTOperty appraiser. The property values are frozen afa
given point-in-lime-based-on-how-the Ordinance is writtenereating the
CRA. Once the property values are frozen at a given year any in-
creases in those property values in following years (usually for the
next twenty years) are fumed back into that district for improvements.
As the district begins to improve the property. values increase; as the
property values increase more money becomes available to put back
into the district. [have done two of these programs in my career in
other municipalities and have seen dozens of others throughout Palm
Beach County and the State. If done properly they work well and do
not place a tax burden on the local community other than the new [ax
dollars that go back into [he district are tax dollars not used elsewhere
throughout the community. This program guarantees a source of new
revenues to be used strictly within the CRA designated district bounda-
ries.
The final element that makes this program work is community support.
As [his program unfolds over the next six. months the-Village Coupcil
as well as the staff need to know how you as a community feel about
such a program. Is it needed? Are you satisfied with the quality of
uses on Northlake Boulevard? Do you desire improvements on North-
lake Boulevard? Or are you satisfied with the level of service that cur-
rently exists? These are the kinds of issues that the citizenry needs to
sound decisions based on wmmunity support.'
If Northlake Boulevard isimproyed with new types of offices, new
types of retail commercial businesses and a business environment is
created where the cost per squaze foot increases it reaches the goal or
the objective of eliminating undesirable businesses that have a propen-
sity oflooking for cheap rentals inside of run down districts. Using the
zoning in and of itself can accomplish some of these goals and objec-
tives but it may take ten to twenty years for them to kick in or take ef-
fect. The use of a CRA in concert with the updated zoning codes ac-
celerates that time frame down to three to five yeazs and in fact re-
verses [he downward trend to the point the property values start im-
proving on their own and start a decided upward trend.
Any comments you may have either pro or con regarding [his matter
are welcomed and any effort to let your elected officials know how
you feel about doing something on Northlake Boulevazd is encour-
aged.

NEW LAWS
The North Palm Beach Departrnent of Public Safety would like our
Residents to be aware of new laws pertaining to DUI (Driving Under the

driver's license has been previously suspended as a result of refusing a
breath, blood, or urine test, that person has committed a first degree mis-
demeanor (punishable by a definite term of imprisonment not to exceed
one year and fine not to exceed $1,000.00).
A third DUI or BUI committed within aten-year period of the last con-
viction is now a third degree felony (punishable by a term of imprison-
ment not to exceed 5 five years and a fine not to exceed $5,000.00).
Under the new law, a third DUI outside of the ten-yeaz period remains a
misdemeanor.
However, if a fourth or a subsequent DUI occurs, it becomes a third
degree felony, regardless of the period of time. North Palm Beach De-
partment of Public Safety wants all of our residents to please drive re-
sponsibly and always have a designated driver. For more information,
please contact Officer Heavey at 841-3300.
HELP PREVENT A TRAGEDY
North Palm Beach Departmenrof Public Safety wants to encourage safe
gun storage in homes to prevent the likelihood of tragic accidents. A
locking device, when installed on a firearm and secured by a key or
combination lock, prevents the gun from being discharged without first
removing the device.
Palm Beach County Ordinance Number 200-038 requires a locking de-
vice on guns in homes where children might have access to the gun.
Failure to comply with the new law could result in a $500 tine!
To help gun owners conform to the new county law, the Palm Beach
County Board and its Criminal Justice Commission are distributing
FREE gunlocks to Palm Beach County residents. If you are interested
in a FREE gun lock please call the Criminal Justice Commission at
355-SAFE (7233) or if you have any questions please contact Officer
Sonja Heavey at 841-3300.

21 I is a 3-digit number which provides 24 hours a day, 365 days a yet
suicide intervention hotlines, social service information, Teen and Elder
Help lines and a referral to community resources for all Palm Beach
County Residents.
21 I Eliminates confusion about who. to call and where to go when you
need help. [t provides an easy to remember 3 digit number to call to
access information on and/or linkage to more than 5,000 health and hu-
man services programs provided by 1700 agencies in Palm Beach
County.
211 Eliminates complicated searches through phone books and thou-
sands of fruitless phone calls trying to~find the right social service
agency to meet the caller's need.
21 I Will provide individuals including those who are elderly, disabled,
non-English speaking, incapacitated by crisis, illiterate, new to our
community, travelers, etc. easy access to services that can meet their
needs.
211 Will help redirect some non-emergency, non police related calls
that are related to a caller's need for health and human services, and
crisis intervention away from the emergency 911 lines. !t is estimated
that 70% of the current calls to 911 are non-emergency related mat-
ters and often tie up the lines designated to handle police and fire
emergencies.
Who can call 21 I? Anyone who has a question. Below are some
typical calls to 21 l:
• The mother of a 12 year old seeks counseling for her son who is
not going to school regularly.
• A widow is worried about the electricity shutoff notice she just
received.
• A young women inquires about [he availability of bus ttansporta-
[ion in her town.
• A mother needs summer camp and child care referrals for her
two sons ages 6 and 8.
• A women calls to ask about home care or replacement options
for her frail 89 year-old mother who can no longer live alone.
• A teenager has problems at home, including a father who drinks,
needs someone to talk to.
Please feel free to contact Of£cer Heavey at 841-3300, if you have

National Night Out is coming to North Palm Beach!
August 6, 2002 from 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM.
August 6, 2002 Marks the 19`h Annual National Night Out Celebration
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety invites you to be a part of this community-wide event
on the evening of Tuesday, August 6, 2002 and invites you and your neighbors to "Give Crime & Drugs a
Going Away Party."
National Ni ht Out exists to:
1. Promote community involvement in crime and drug prevention activities
2. Strengthen police-community relations
3. Encourage neighborhood participation as part of the fight for safer streets.
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety encourages you to get involved in this great celebration
of community, crime prevention, and strong police/community partnerships. The most important aspect of
National Ni hg t Out is getting neighbors together!
Start Plannin;; NOW!
Your event doesn't have to be huge or elaborate - it can be as simple as lemonade and conversation in your
neighbor's yard. The important thing is to talk to your neighbors and plan to GET TOGETHER AS A
NEIGHBORHOOD!
REMEMBER: A strong community makes for a safe community. Everything we do to strengthen the ties
among neighbors of all ages and backgrounds makes our present and future that much brighter. Celebrating
National Night Out with the North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety and your neighbors is a positive
way to build and nurture our community by starting in your own back (or front) yard.
If you would like to have a block party and you need your street blocked off, YOU must get a permit. The
permit is FREE but necessary if you want your street barricaded for your event. Please contact Officer Hea-
vey at 841-3300.
