PURPOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING
. The purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear comments from the public concerning
Resolution 56-96, a proposed resolution adopting an Evaluation and Appraisal Report
(EAR) for the Village of North Palm Beach in accordance with the "Local Government
Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Act", being Sections 163.3161 Et. Seq.,
Florida Statutes.
STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Mort Levin, Old Port Cove, addressed the Council regarding various points of the
Evaluation and Appraisal Report, including 1) definition of Commercial, as stated in the
report - he feels various commercial types should be defined; 2) distinction should be
made between Regional Shopping Centers and Neighborhood Shopping Centers; and 3)
he is very concerned about the strip of property in front of the monastery, which is zoned
commercial. He feels that under such a broad term of "commercial", an undesirable
business could go in there. Mr. Levin also said that he felt the North Palm Beach
boundary line at the water should be moved up toward the very end of the lake, where
Twelve Oaks is located. Mr. Levin also requested that the Council give serious
consideration to tight restrictions on the height of antennas.

Minutes of Public Hearing
held Thursday, August 22, 1996
Manny Grinn, 536 Greenway Drive, discussed the Evaluation and Appraisal Report as it
relates to the goal of maintaining the current character of the Village and activities
consistent with the character guidelines. Mr. Grinn stated that the reduction of distance
required between adult entertainment businesses and educational institutions degraded
the current character of the Village.
