Mayor Vastola called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. All members of Council were
present. All members of staff were present.
The purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear comments from the Public concerning Bill
890, a proposed ordinance rezoning a parcel of land commonly known as the Southwest
Neighborhood, located south of Richard Road, north of Northlake Boulevard, west of
Prosperity Farms Road and both east and west of Highway A1A within the Village from
various Palm Beach County zoning districts to zoning districts of the Village of North Palm
Beach.
STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Daniel James, 315 5th Street, West Palm Beach, addressed the Council regarding lots
40 and 41 in the S. W. Neighborhood. Mr. James stated that, as owner of the two lots
on Conroy Drive, he wants his property to be included in the CC district zoning. Mr.
James requested an explanation as to why they are not being rezoned for commercial
use, since Palm Beach County had recommended it at an earlier date. Mr. James further
stated that if his lots are not going to be included in the commercial zoning, perhaps the
method of committing these 2 lots for commercial use would be in the way of a petition
to rezone, with a specific land use or site plan attached, as opposed to placing it in a
commercial zone which would permit other uses less compatible with surrounding
residential areas. Mr. James was advised to attend the second Public Hearing on this
matter, which will be held July 10th, as well as the July 10th Regular Session, at which
time the Council will discuss this issue.
Minutes of Public Hearing
Held Thursday, JUne 26, 1997
Michael Brinkman, 2579 Northlake Blvd., owner of the Bud's Chicken property, told the
Council that changing his property to C-1 would lessen the zoning from that which it was
under Palm Beach County zoning districts. Mr. Brinkman said that he would become a
"non-conforming" use if this occurs, and felt that this would lessen the property value at
resale. Mr. Brinkman was assured that the staff would make notes of his concerns prior
to the second Public Hearing and Council discussion on July 10, 1997.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:11 P.M.
