2018-04 Village Newsletter “The Best Place to Live Under the Sun” i|ÄÄtzx Éy aÉÜà{ ctÄÅ Uxtv{ APRIL 2018 A Message from the Village Manager - Andy Lukasik Hi Villagers! As you may be aware, the Village adopted a CiƟzens Master Plan Report (“Master Plan”) in October, 2016 that will guide the next phase of growth and development, or redevelopment in most cases, in the Village of North Palm Beach. Although officially adopted by the Village Council, the Master Plan was developed based upon the collecƟve vision of Village residents during a public workshop in January, 2016. In short, the Master Plan hƩps:// www.village-npb.org/571/Village-Master-Plan created a vision for the Village that encourages development that will, among other things: Contain a variety of building types that maintain a mid-rise scale along the streets so we don’t lose our “village feel”; Encourage mixed uses along US1 and along a future boardwalk adjacent to the Earman River; Establish waterfront dining opƟons; Create public spaces that will be nice places to visit; and Foster a pedestrian and bicycle friendly environment. To achieve the objecƟves I summarized above, the Village needs to change its development regulaƟons to ensure that future development paƩerns are in concert with the Master Plan. These regulaƟons not only need to respond to market forces but must also provide predictable outcomes for those considering investment in the community. This can only be accomplished through a Code Update, or the development of new regulaƟons, that will guide future redevelopment in the Village. The Village Council wants to make certain that this effort incorporates parƟcipaƟon from North Palm Beach residents, businesses and property owners. So, please consider aƩending an interacƟve presentaƟon and discussions during a workshop intended to build the framework for our Code Update. The public is invited to aƩend and parƟcipate in this workshop, which is scheduled for Friday, April 6th at 6:00 pm at the North Palm Beach Country Club (951 US 1). The workshop will be facilitated by the Village’s consultant, Dover, Kohl & Partners, and will involve exercises to make sure the Code Update allows the Village to meet the community’s vision (see page 3 for details). For more informaƟon about the process and for updates, you may visit villagecodeupdate.org. Should you have any quesƟons, always feel free to reach me at alukasik@village-npb.org. I hope to see you at this important public workshop!

Village Clerk Page 5 The Village celebrated Arbor Day with a tree planƟng ceremony at the NPB Community Center. David Dearth, the Manager of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park joined Mayor Aubrey, Vice Mayor Gebbia, Parks & Recreation Director Mark Hodgkins, and Recreation Supervisor Mark Howell for Mayor Aubrey’s reading of the Arbor Day ProclamaƟon. Message from Lt Col Patrick Schuldt, USAF: We are so grateful for the sponsorship and care packages. The generosity of Americans is absolutely phenomenal. The fact that an entire town would go above and beyond to do things for people they have never met is incredible. On a personal level the generosity of every day citizens that have no idea who we are who come together to knit us hats, make care packages, and write letters. It is humbling. At the same Ɵme it really makes us want to work harder to achieve our mission knowing that the people back home support us. We at the 451 Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron (EOSS) exist to ensure combat aircraft can arrive and depart to support the men and woman on the ground execuƟng the combat mission. The end state for us is to get 80% of the populaƟon under the protecƟon and control of the government while making sure the enemy reconciles with the government. We are also working to ensure free elections and supporting the train, advise, and assist mission here to make sure the Afghan military is capable of responding to conflicts within their country.

Major Street Projects Beginning in late April or early May the Village plans to invest $400,000 in milling and resurfacing on the following streets: Lighthouse Drive from just west of the bridge to Juniper Drive including all new street striping. (The Prosperity Farms Road intersecƟon has already been done.) Oyster Road. Riverside Road. (The Anchorage Drive intersecƟon and cul-de-sac have already been done.) AtlanƟc Road (south only secƟon), Lakeside Drive (AtlanƟc Road to Cruiser Road North), and the Cruiser Road loop. West end of Camelot Motor Lodge alley. (Needed to resolve a drainage issue.) This list was developed with the use of the pavement condiƟon assessment soŌware and confirmed as appropriate segments to mill and resurface by the Village Engineer. There are many other streets we can and will need to do, but we need to start somewhere and these are the prioriƟes right now based on all the informaƟon available. The project should be completed within 60 days of commencement. If you have quesƟons or concerns please contact the Director of Public Works, Steven Hallock, at 561.691.3440 or shallock@village-npb.org. Sidewalk Repairs The Village budgeted $154,000.00 in FY 2017-18 for repair and replacement of sidewalks throughout the community. This work has been deferred in the past and requires a significant investment this year in order to eliminate potenƟal tripping hazards. Staff has developed a list over the last few years of known sidewalk projects in several areas of the Village and is using this list to prioriƟze the sidewalk work. A two-phased approach to address the sidewalk maintenance needs is being used. The first phase involves saw cuƫng the sidewalks (as opposed to grinding the edges) to remove trip hazards. We have eliminated 750 sidewalk tripping hazards this year using this method. For those sidewalk segments that aren’t candidates for saw cuƫng, meaning that they are severely cracked or have been displaced by tree roots to the point that there is not enough concrete to cut, removal and replacement will be used. This second phase of the project will begin in May and we expect to eliminate another 100 sidewalk tripping hazards. If you have quesƟons or concerns please contact the Director of Public Works, Steven Hallock, at 561.691.3440 or shallock@village-npb.org.

Page 16 Community Development Community Development The Village recently made revisions to the Village Code of Ordinances to update and modify the applicable property maintenance and housing code requirements applicable throughout the Village. Below are a few of the code sections that were updated. Sec. 15-2. - Exterior property areas. Landscaping All yards exposed to public view must be landscaped. Play areas, flowerbeds, driveways, walks, and similar areas not intended to have vegetative cover should be clearly defined and maintained free of uncultivated growth. (1) Landscaping shall be maintained so as to present a healthy, neat and orderly appearance at least equal to the original installation and shall be mowed or trimmed in a manner and at a frequency so as not to detract from the appearance of the general area. Any grass and brush growing in excess of twelve (12) inches in height, dead trees, tree stumps, dead and decaying plant material, trash and garbage shall be removed from the premises. Landscaping shall be maintained to minimize property damage and public hazards, including the removal of low hanging branches over sidewalks and paved areas and those obstructing street lighting and traffic control signs. Shrubbery and other landscape materials shall be trimmed to prevent encroachment onto sidewalks and other public rights-of-way, including waterways. (3) Landscaping shall be kept free of visible signs of insects and disease and appropriately irrigated and fertilized to enable landscaping to be in a healthy condition. (4) All roadways, curbs and sidewalks shall be edged to prevent encroachment from the adjacent turf areas. Accessory structures All accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, storage buildings, docks, piers, boat lifts, bulkheads, screen enclosures, fences, walls, driveways and driveway aprons, walkways, and antennas shall be maintained structurally sound and in good repair and free from excessive staining, mold, and mildew. Motor vehicles (1) Motor vehicles (with the exception of recreational vehicles parked in the rear or side yard in compliance with all applicable code provisions) located on residential and non-residential parcels shall only be parked on a hard, durable surface and shall not be parked in a manner so as to impede access to doors and windows. Open storage It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant of a residential building, structure, or property to utilize the premises for the open storage of any appliance or other item of personal property, building materials, rubbish, or similar items. Know Your Code Page 17 NPBCC Tennis / Police Dept. Police Department As we get closer to the warmer months, for some that means vacaƟons are on the horizon. With this in mind, the North Palm Beach Police Department would like to remind its residents that when preparing to go out of town on vacaƟon it is important that you take necessary steps to safeguard your homes and vehicles from potenƟal burglars. If you’ll be out of town for an extended period of Ɵme, make sure that all vehicles are locked and parked inside a closed garage if possible. If this is not possible, leave vehicles in a conspicuous locaƟon and remember to lock all windows and doors and remove all valuables. To safeguard your homes, make sure that any exterior lighƟng is in operaƟon during the overnight hours as well as ensuring that all exterior doors and windows are locked. If your home is equipped with an alarm system, check to make sure it is operaƟng properly prior to seƫng it. It is also a good idea to ask a friend or neighbor to look aŌer your home when you are away and have them periodically check the property to make sure all is in order. You can make arrangements with the post office to suspend delivery to your home for specific dates. Burglars will oŌen look to see a collecƟon of mail and/or packages at the front door and use that as an indicator that the resident is away and the house is an easy target for a burglary. Don’t let yourself fall prey to these crime opportuniƟes and make sure to take the necessary precauƟons so that you and yours may enjoy your Ɵme away.
