Held Thursday, July 13, 2000
• Mr. Kelly informed the Council that Palm Beach Gardens inadvertently infringed upon the
Village's right-of--way along Prosperity Farms Road and north of Burns Road. Palm Beach
Gardens entered into an agreement with developer Divosta at the corner of Burns Rd. and
Prosperity Farms Road regarding improvements into the right-of--way (maintenance), which had
been provided by the County. This will require that documents be prepared to show the correct
jurisdiction, and to additionally provide that the Village will not demand that they start the
process over again to develop the PUD. It is also the intent of the Gazdens as well as the Village
that the developer be held to the agreement to maintain the right~of--way. Village Attorney
George Baldwin recommended that permits be issued based on the continued maintenance by the
developer. The required paperwork will be brought back to the Village Council as soon as
possible for its approval.
