the Village’s dry storage area and pays current rental rates. Staff has requested that the y remove
their boats from storage to maximize the storage capacity for resident needs. Palm Beach Crew
proposed the creation of a fenced in area with landscaping for storage. Staff recommended a
location between the tennis court and the dog park.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held September 23, 2021 Page 7 of 10
VILLAGE MANAGER MATTERS/REPORTS continued
Mr. Sherman explained the dimensions and material of the proposed fencing and storage racks,
and stated that Palm Beach Crew would be responsible for the installation of the fencing and
landscaping. Palm Beach Crew would pay the Village a yearly rental fee of $1500 for the area.
Mr. Sherman requested Council direction and input on the proposed agreement. Mr. Sherman
stated that the proposal was given to the Recreation Advisory Board and they unanimously
approved to move forward for Council’s consideration.
Chris Kogstrom, 536 Anchorage Drive, stated that he supported the proposed agreement with Palm
Beach Crew.
Lisa Interlandi, 150 Anchorage Drive, stated that her son was a member of the rowing club and
that it was a great sport program to have in the Village. She recommended extending the one (1)
year term in the proposed agreement to a three (3) year term.
Scott Hicks, 416 Westwind Drive, stated that his son was also a member of the rowing club and
supported the proposed agreement.
Deborah Cross, 2560 Pepperwood Circle South, stated that she supported the idea of the rowing
club agreement but had concerns regarding the fenced area and walkway. She recommended using
metal instead of wood as the materials for the proposed structure. Ms. Cross asked if there would
be classes or opportunities to learn rowing without participating in competitions.
Mr. Sherman clarified and stated that the walkway would remain and there wouldn’t be any
impediment of the sidewalk and only the racks for the boats would be made of wood and would
be hidden from view.

lease term.
Councilmember Norris asked why a special storage place was being proposed for the rowing club.
Mr. Sherman stated that the rowing club was currently storing their boats in the dry storage area
of the park and there was currently a waiting list for resident’s boats and recreational vehicles. By
moving the rowing club’s boats, it would free up space for residents. Also, since the dry storage
was scheduled to be renovated within the next year, there needed to be an alternative location for
the rowing boats.
Mr. Rubin explained that if the agreement was an instructor agreement, the instructor would have
to provide proof of insurance and there would be an indemnification clause in order to use the
Village’s property.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held September 23, 2021 Page 8 of 10
VILLAGE MANAGER MATTERS/REPORTS continued
Vice Mayor Searcy requested that the Village receive some type of recognition or promotion from
the rowing club through their advertisements.
Ms. Saint Sing stated that the rowing club could put the Village’s logo on their trailer and their
website but cannot have advertisements on the boats or athletes when racing.
Council directed staff to draw up an agreement with Palm Beach Crew and bring it back to a future
Council meeting for consideration.
Village Clerk Jessica Green explained that the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections gave
recommendations for changes in the municipal election process that would ensure a more efficient
and cost-effective administration of future elections. Included in these recommendations was the
option of designating one single Canvassing Board that would have the ability to canvass all of the
municipal elections simultaneously on a given day and would eliminate the need for each
municipality’s canvassing board to be present on election night until the process of canvassing
ballots was complete. Mrs. Green explained that it would not change any of the other duties
performed by the municipal clerk. The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections would be
designated as the official Supervisor of the Village’s Uniform Municipal Election.
Vice Mayor Searcy expressed concern over giving up the municipalities’ control of having their
own canvassing board.
Mr. Rubin explained that the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections and her staff already
handle and tabulate all of the election ballots. The canvassing board only reviews any disputed or
questionable ballots.
President Pro Tem Mullinix asked if anyone could be present on election night to observe the
canvassing of ballots.
Mr. Rubin stated that the canvassing board meetings were public meetings and that anyone could
be present.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding the option of utilizing a single canvassing
board for municipal elections.
Mrs. Green stated that Palm Beach County was one of the few counties in Florida that did not
utilize a single canvassing board.
The majority of Councilmembers agreed to utilize the option of a single canvassing board for
municipal elections.
Mr. Rubin stated that the use of a single County Canvassing Board would be included in an
upcoming resolution that would announce the Village’s next municipal election.
Mr. Lukasik began a presentation regarding Lakeside Park parking management. Mr. Lukasik
discussed and explained the location of the park, its beach access and parking lot. Mr. Lukasik
discussed resident identified issues which were parking and overcrowding, crime and nuisances
and safety and security. Mr. Lukasik discussed the park’s parking enforcement area.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held September 23, 2021 Page 9 of 10
VILLAGE MANAGER MATTERS/REPORTS continued
There was no parking during the day on weekends and holidays without a permit and the ordinance
allowed for enforcement on Lakeside Court from Anchorage Drive to Atlantic Road which
includes Dory Road, Cruiser Road, Buoy Road, Atlantic Road and Lakeside Court. The parking
issues and impacts were that parking was limited, vehicles park illegally on neighborhood streets
and were predominately non-residents. Residents were not able to drive to the park and the volume
of vehicles was overwhelming for the neighborhood.
Mr. Lukasik discussed the Recreation Needs Assessment Survey results regarding “Village
Residents” only at Lakeside Park. Mr. Lukasik discussed possible strategies such as a “resident
only” park, permit parking, more parking spaces, partnering with U.S. Highway 1 businesses and
a shuttle service. Mr. Lukasik stated that staff was recommending the strategy of permit parking
where residents would receive free permits and non-residents would pay a fee. Mr. Lukasik stated
that parking restrictions continue to be enforced and recommended creating a Park Ranger position
to help enforce parking and park regulations.
Ryan Nagle, 136 Cruiser Road South, expressed his concerns regarding allowing non-residents to
utilize Lakeside Park and the issues with parking in and around the park.
Leanne Schmitt, 604 Eastwind Drive, stated she participated in the Recreation Needs Assessment
discussions and had heard the concerns and frustrations of residents with regards to Lakeside Park
parking. Ms. Schmitt stated the question of whether or not the park could receive grant monies i f
it was made into a resident only park had not yet been answered.
President Pro Tem Mullinix stated that there were twenty-two (22) parking spaces at Lakeside
Park. The park is small and the parking is limited. The park touches the backyards of residences
located along the park. President Pro Tem Mullinix stated that there was a covenant that stated
that residents who live along the park have a say in how the park was utilized. President Pro Tem
Mullinix recommended parking permits for Lakeside Park.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding parking permits and restrictions at
Lakeside Park. Considerations made were to change allowing on street parking to seven (7) days
a week and expanding the parking permit to Village businesses and schools who utilize the park.
Council directed staff to return with recommendations based on the considerations that were discussed.
Mr. Lukasik stated that staff would bring back their recommendations based on Council’s input.
Building Official Wayne Cameron began a presentation that gave an update on changes to the
building code related to inspections on condominiums and a County-wide Building Recertification
Program. Mr. Cameron gave a recap of the activities that had been taken towards the development
of a Major Structure Recertification. A series of meetings that took place between Building
Officials and the County resulted in the decision to develop a model suitable for local adoptions
county-wide. Mr. Cameron discussed and explained the Major Structure Recertification League
of Cities model. The current suggested building safety inspection program would be for buildings
25 years or older east of Interstate 95, 35 years or older west of Interstate 95 and 25 year or older
buildings in any location that have modified balconies, decks, elevated walkways with tile, and
artificial turf or other finishes. Waterproofing inspections would be done beginning with the initial
safety inspection, subsequent structural and electrical building inspections would be required at 10
year intervals and subsequent waterproofing inspections shall occur at 5 year intervals.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held September 23, 2021 Page 10 of 10
VILLAGE MANAGER MATTERS/REPORTS continued
The Building Code Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend the Building Safety
Inspection Program to the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County at the October
meeting.
Mayor Aubrey asked if a draft document would be created that the Village would then use as a
template to create or amend its building code.
Mr. Cameron stated that was correct and it would be the Village’s ordinance to enforce.
Discussion ensued between Mr. Cameron and Council regarding the Major Structure
Recertification Program.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 9:12 p.m.
VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Jeremy Hubsch, Director of Community Development
DATE: October 11, 2021
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 1ST READING – Establishing a Zoning in Progress for the
Construction of Single-Family Homes in the R-1 Single-Family Zoning
District
At the March 2nd Planning Commission meeting, staff gave a presentation about large homes that
are being constructed in the Village and options that are available to address concerns being
raised by residents, Planning Commission members, and the Village Council. Staff then gave a
similar presentation to the Village Council at its April 8th meeting. The Council discussed possible
strategies to develop and implement a revised residential Code, including a moratorium on tear-
down and rebuilds or an expedited process to develop new Code provisions. Staff requested
time to evaluate strategies in order to accomplish Council’s policy objectives.
At a May 13, 2021 Village Council Workshop, Village Staff shared some preliminary observations
about the housing trends in the Village with the Council and discussed possible methods to
address Council’s policy direction. Specifically, staff recommended establishing a “Zoning in
Progress” (ZIP) for the R-1 Zoning District that would continue to allow redevelopment of
residential properties within certain parameters until amendments to the Code can be adopted.
Staff also recommended the creation of an Ad-Hoc Committee of residents to evaluate permanent
Code changes during the ZIP.
Staff then drafted a Zoning in Progress Ordinance and presented it to the Planning Commission
on June 8, 2021. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. The
Ordinance was brought to Village Council initially on July 8, 2021, but was ultimately tabled, as
two members of the Council were absent. The Ordinance was again brought forward to Village
Council on August 12, 2021. At that meeting, the Village Council tabled consideration of the ZIP
Ordinance and opted to appoint members to the Ad-Hoc Committee at its August 26th meeting.
The Council further requested that the Ad-Hoc Committee review the proposed ZIP and provide
recommendations in October.
The Ad-Hoc Committee met on September 20th to review the proposed ZIP. All members and
alternates were in attendance, as were several residents. The Ad-Hoc Committee discussed the
ZIP standards at length and generally agreed that the ZIP standards were a reasonable temporary
solution. The committee voted 6-1 to recommend adoption of staff’s recommendations regarding
minimum landscaped area and restrictions on 2nd story floor area. Due to uncertainty about the
proposed maximum building height of thirty feet, the Ad Hoc Committee opted to recommend
increasing the height to thirty-five feet for ridged roofs and thirty feet for flat roofs. Some members
noted that there were issues, such as building height and 2nd story floor area, that they would like
to further evaluate during the ZIP.
Background:
A major concern identified in the Citizens’ Master Plan was to “make sure the mass of new houses
is compatible with adjacent houses”. A high priority task included in the Master Plan is to
“establish regulations for infill single-family that ensure compatibility in the neighborhoods”. Since
adoption of the Master Plan, reviewing the Village’s residential Zoning Code has been listed as a
high priority task in the Village Council’s Strategic Plan.
Based on feedback from the Planning Commission, Village Council, and the community, along
with knowledge of best practices in other municipal zoning codes; staff believes there are a myriad
of issues to address during the residential Code re-write process. However, much like the
commercial Code re-write, this a substantial undertaking that may take well over a year to
complete. The Village is currently in the midst of a significant residential building boom, where
smaller homes are being torn down and replaced with much larger homes. Some residents
believe these new homes are permanently altering the character of the community. Establishing
a ZIP will allow the Village to temporarily create standards for properties in the R-1 Zoning District,
while comprehensive revisions to the residential Code are workshopped and evaluated.
Zoning in Progress Ordinance
Staff presented the Zoning in Progress Ordinance to the Planning Commission on June 8, to
Village Council on July 8 and August 12, and to the Residential Ad-Hoc Committee on September
20. As proposed, the ZIP will allow new construction and renovations to occur within certain
parameters while the Village is undergoing the process of creating permanent updates to the R-
1 Zoning Code.
The ZIP is proposed to last six months from the date of adoption, with the possibility of a six-
month extension by resolution of the Village Council. As proposed, the ZIP Ordinance will
establish regulations for three issues that have been identified in the R-1 Zoning District:
A. Minimum Landscaped Area-There is currently no minimum required landscaped area or
impervious surface restriction in the R-1 Zoning District. The proposed ZIP requires:
1. All one-story single-family homes shall have a minimum landscaped area of thirty-five
percent (35%)
2. All two-story single-family homes shall have a minimum landscaped area of forty percent
(40%)
3. All single-family homes (both one and two story) shall provide a minimum landscaped area
of fifty percent (50%) in the required twenty-five foot (25’) front yard setback. Properties
with frontage along collector roads (Lighthouse Drive and Prosperity Farms Road) shall
provide a minimum landscaped area of forty percent (40%) in the required twenty-five foot
(25’) front setback. Properties that have an irregular lot shape, meaning a lot which is not
close to rectangular or square, and in which the width of the property at the front property
line is less than required by the underlying zoning district shall provide a minimum
landscaped area of twenty-five percent (25%) in the required twenty-five foot (25’) front
setback.
For the purposes of this subsection, the term minimum landscaped area shall mean a pervious
landscaped area unencumbered by structures, buildings, paved or grass parking lots,
sidewalks, pools, decks, or any impervious surface. Landscape material shall include, but not
be limited to, grass, ground covers, bushes, shrubs, hedges or similar plantings, or decorative
rock or bark. No landscape material shall be used for parking.
With respect to building permits for renovations of existing single -family homes, the minimum
landscaped area standards shall apply only to the extent that the proposed scope of work
impacts the applicable standard.
B. Building Height-The code currently limits homes to a maximum of two-stories, but does not
establish a maximum building height in feet. The proposed ZIP requires:
All single-family homes shall be limited to two stories and thirty feet (30’) in height for flat roofs
and thirty-five feet (35’) feet for all other types of roofs, including gable, hip, gambrel and shed
roofs.
For the purposes of this subsection, height shall be measured from the average elevation of the
existing grade prior to land alteration for properties outside of special flood hazard areas and from
the required design flood elevation for properties within special flood hazard areas. Height shall
be measured to the highest point of the following:
(1) the coping of a flat roof and the deck lines on a mansard roof;
(2) the average height level between the eaves and roof ridges or peak for gable, hip or
gambrel roofs; or
(3) the average height between high and low points for a shed roof.
Decorative architectural elements, chimneys, mechanical equipment, non-habitable
cupolas, elevator shafts or similar appurtenances shall be excluded from the foregoing
height restrictions.
C. Second-story floor area-There are currently no restrictions on the mass of two-story homes.
The proposed ZIP requires:
The floor area of the second story of a single-family home shall be limited to seventy-five percent
(75%) of the floor area of the first story.
For the purposes of this subsection, floor area shall mean all space within the exterior walls of a
structure and shall include roofed patios or balconies for the second story.
Recommendation: Village Staff, the Planning Commission, and the Residential Ad-Hoc
Committee recommend approval of the attached Ordinance establishing a Zoning in Progress for
the Construction of Single-Family Homes in the R-1 Single-Family Zoning District.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Chuck Huff, Director of Public Works
DATE: October 11, 2021
SUBJECT: MOTION – Approval of a Change Order in the amount of $49,975.06 and Final
Payment and Release of Retainage in the amount of $78,336.89 payable to Florida
Blacktop, Inc. for the West Alleyway Project
Village Staff is recommending approval of a change order in the amount of $49,975.06 and the final
payment and release of project retainage in the amount of $78,336.89 to reflect the amount of finished
work on the West Alleyway Project. The Village has received a payment request from Florida Blacktop
representing the final payment/retainage left on the contract.
Background:
In general, the project was to rehabilitate the pavement structure due to the severe deterioration of the
surface and base. The Village chose the Full Depth Recycle (FDR) method to meet enhanced pavement
structure expectations, largely due to a lack of a drainage system in the alleyway. As a result, there was
no budget to design and install a new system of inlets and culverts to collect and convey the storm water
to an existing system.
The grading concept was to keep the same “inverted swale” typical section with high points midway along
the alleyway and to sheet flow the runoff all the way to the nearest public street (N. Anchorage,
Lighthouse, Ebbtide and the Village Hall parking area). These long sheet flow runs were essentially flat
longitudinally with very little fall to the north or south. Also, matching the existing pavement along the
east edge (adjacent to private property) was essential, which did not allow an opportunity to create a
more sloping profile along the alleyway.
As a result of the need for additional areas requiring FDR and asphalt (unit pricing) beyond the scope of
work, a change order in the amount of $49,975.06 was necessary. An additional change order provided
us a deduction in the work that resulted in a savings of $5,277.95 for the project. However, the total
amount of the project exceeded the contract amount approved by Resolution 2021-05, including
contingency, by $28,604.24
Original Contract Amount $321,857.39 ($337,950.26 with Contingency)
Change Order One $ 49,975.06
Change Order Two $ (5,277.95)
Final Contract Amount: $366,554.50
While the contractor matched the existing grades as close as possible, Staff invariably knew there may
be some minor ponding problems. Several ponding areas were addressed and corrected. The final one
behind the Lutheran church has now been addressed. Some ponding issues exist, mainly on the east
edge of the ROW, adjacent to existing paved areas on private property. These issues were always
present in the past and we mitigated them as best as we could to drain the inverted swale away from
these areas. Most of the ponding areas are of the “splash and evaporate” variety.
Again, the FDR method of construction was selected to provide a deeper, more stable base material,
knowing the grading and drainage of runoff would still exist as it has for several years. The solution of
course, would have been to install a drainage system as mentioned above. Although the minor ponding
is an occasional inconvenience, Staff believes the roadway will provide many years of structural
performance, safe operation and minimal maintenance.
The Village’s purchasing policies and procedures require Village Council approval for: (1) change orders
in excess of $25,000; and (2) final closeout and release of retainage for all projects exceeding
$100,000.00.
Recommendation:
Village Staff recommends Council consideration and approval of a Change Order in the amount
of $49,975.06 and the Final Payment and Release of Retainage in the amount of $78,336.89 to
Florida Blacktop, Inc. for the West Alleyway Project in accordance with Village policies and
procedures.

Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
Zak Sherman, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: October 11, 2021
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Approval of an Eighth Amendment to an Agreement for professional
grant preparation and management services with RMPK Funding, Inc.
RMPK Funding Inc has been very successful in obtaining and managing grant funding for the Village
since 2013. Not only has RMPK assisted in identifying and submitting grant applications, RMPK has
updated status reports, managed commencement and closing procedures and submitted grant
amendments and grant period extensions. A percentage of the cost to retain RMPK can be reimbursed
through grant funding.
Based upon past performance, Village Staff is recommending that the Village Council waive the written
quotation process and extend the agreement for another one-year term. The cost for this contract
amendment is $20,000 ($5,000 per quarter) and shall be effective October 1, 2021.
The Village has had a contractual relationship with RMPK for over seven years, it should be noted that
Ryan Ruskay, RMPK’s President, is the son of Russ Ruskay, a former Parks & Recreation employee.
Additionally, although the Village initiated its contract with RMPK four years prior to his employment
with the Village, the Village Manager has maintained a social relationship with the Ruskay family for
several years.
The attached Resolution has been prepared/reviewed by the Village Attorney for legal sufficiency.

D. Public Present: Numerous members of the public attended, in order to be
heard regarding the new, proposed tee time policy.
III. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES
A. Minutes of the July 19, 2021 GAB Meeting were approved 6-0.
IV. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Golf Report. Allan Bowman, Director of Golf, spoke to explain the tee time policy
issue confronting the club and the Golf Advisory Board.
Allan addressed the meeting to provide background regarding the issues presented to
the club regarding our tee time policy and group play, which was a subject of controversy
even before he was hired as Director of Golf. During 2020, when the COVID pandemic
closed the club and then limited play for a number of months, group play did seem to present
a problem.
The issue of a policy regarding group play was the subject of a Golf Advisory Board
meeting in November of 2020 and representatives of several groups spoke to the Board. The
Board recommended that the club develop a new policy concerning group play.
In 2021 the Village Council has received complaints regarding group play and the
difficulty of members obtaining tee times at the golf course. Allan and his staff have
considered solutions to the problem for several months. We now have 293 members and
there is a large demand for tee times during morning hours.
A new tee time policy has been proposed and circulated to members. Allan has
received a number of complaints by email concerning the policy; all of the emails have been
reviewed.
The underlying issue regarding tee times is should all members be treated equally?
2
NPB Golf Advisory Board Minutes of August 16, 2021
By definition, groups are 12 to 28 golfers. At the present time, no new groups are
being recognized at the club.
Allan conducted a survey of local public access golf courses. Group play is not
allowed at either Sandhill Crane or Abacoa.
Allan showed the meeting copies of recent tee sheets; group play consumes nearly all
of the tee times before noon on many days. He asked the public in attendance, “What do you
suggest we do to solve the problem?”
V. DISCUSSION TOPICS
A number of club members spoke concerning group play.
Harry Kravit spoke on behalf of “Harry’s Hackers”. He says his group needs fixed tee
times due to their need to schedule other matters, such as medical appointments. He opposes
a lottery system.
Ross Beverstein spoke and said he understands the problem but doesn’t have a
solution.
Allan Bowman summarized for the meeting the proposed lottery system.
Charlie Murphy spoke as a representative of “The Sharks”. They have 35 members
and seek tee times three times per week.
Jim Peterson spoke, also as amember of The Sharks. He asked if afternoons would be
available for group play.
Tom McGill spoke. He has been a member of the club for many years and said the
demand for tee times exceeds the available supply. He suggested that and ad hoc committee
be formed to consider a group play policy.
John Rothberg suggested that the groups should become parts of the MGA and WGA.
3
NPB Golf Advisory Board Minutes of August 16, 2021
Robert Birnbaum spoke and proposed that one week per month be set aside for non-
group play. He noted that group players are among the best members of the club.
John McFarland suggest allocation of tee times to group play on a pro rata basis; if
60% of members are in a group, groups should enjoy 60% of the tee times.
Steve Paige said that there should be equitable sharing of tee times.
Karen O’Connell spoke on behalf of the “Par Tee Girls”. That group has 30
members.
Mike Beck, Maureen Black, and Susan Filardo spoke.
Tom McGill, who serves on the Village Audit Committee told the meeting that group
play is not a revenue or financial issue.
Village Manager Andy Lukasik spoke and reminded the group that no Council action
has been taken on the group play or tee time policy issue.
Several speakers argued that group play is a very good thing, it brings nonmembers to
the club and promotes them seeking membership.
After lengthy discussion, Allan Bowman then summarized the issues regarding our
tee time policy; under our current system, group play consumes most of our prime tee times.
Allan then invited each interested group to designate one member of their group to meet as
part of a committee to consider the tee time policy and make recommendation to the Golf
Advisory Board.

A. SITE PLAN AND APPEARANCE REVIEW
1. 2021-1481 La Bamba Awning
Application by Hoover Canvas Products on behalf of M Aguablanca, LLC requesting the addition
of an awning to the existing outdoor seating area.
Ms. West presented the Staff report and recommendation. The applicant is requesting approval of a new awning.
The new awning will entirely cover the existing outside seating area, so seating will be available during
rainstorms. The awning color being requested for approval is a “Reef Blue” which will be partially visible from

the street. The building currently has 891 SF of outdoor seating which is covered by beige and red shade sails not
visible from the street. There is no proposed increase to the restaurant seating area.
As the current shade sails are affixed behind the concrete block courtyard walls, they are not visible, but the new
awning is proposed on top of the walls. The awning will be generally visible from the street as there will be a
one-foot fascia piece at the top of the west and north walls, sloping up to 3 ft. 4 in. higher than the existing wall
and attached to the building. Staff feels the proposed reef blue color is too bright and brilliant for compatibility
with the building. It is a stark contrast to the six other colors used on the building currently. The building’s current
color is beige and sage green with brown, white, and hunter green accents and a red barrel-tile roof. The Patio
500 color samples provided by the applicant have a few colors that may be more harmonious with the existing
building colors, such as champagne, white, emerald, terra cotta, and buff. Staff recommends a change in the
awning color, and the following conditions for approval:
1) Applicant shall submit a revision to the building permit with the awning color, if changed.
2) Obtain a building permit for the scope of the work.
Michael Hess, Hoover Canvas Products, 5107 Australian Ave., West Palm Beach, was present to represent the
project. He stated it is the applicant’s desire to have the blue, as it looks very nice from the interior and is festive.
The awning being on the north side, is blocked by trees and will only be partially seen from the street.
The Planning Commissions members discussed support of the new awning; whether the blue color would provide
too much contrast to the building facade; whether the green would be better suited to the exterior colors; and
consideration given to the applicant’s color choice.
Motion: Mr. Solodar moved to approve the application as submitted with the color blue and Staff’s
recommendations. Mr. Kennedy seconded the motion, which passed 5-2, with Ms. DeWitt and Mr. Haigh voting
nay.
2. 2021-1657 Landings South Paint Color
Application by Landings South Condominium Association, Inc. requesting new paint colors for
the existing multifamily building
Ms. West presented an updated Staff report and recommendation. The applicant is requesting approval of paint
colors for the Landings South Condominium building at 60 Yacht Club Drive. The 5-story condominium building
was constructed in 1969, and is currently a light beige. The building colors being requested for approval are Blue
Pearl for the body and Delicate White for the building accents and the railings. In Staff’s analysis, the proposed
application is consistent with the Appearance Code and other zoning requirements. Should the Planning
Commission determine that the Applicant has met the necessary prerequisites for the granting of a site plan and
appearance approval, staff proposes the following conditions:
1. Obtain a building permit within 30 days of this approval for the proposed building colors and obtain
final inspection upon completion.

The Planning Commissions members discussed whether each condo is an individual HOA. Consensus of the
Planning Commission was support of the project.
Motion: Ms. DeWitt moved to approve the application as presented. Mr. Hogarth seconded the motion, which
passed 7-0.

Numerous members of the public attended.
III. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES
Minutes of the August 16, 2021 GAB Meeting were approved 6-0.
IV. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Golf Report. Allan Bowman, Director of Golf, delivered his report and made a
recommendation regarding a group play policy.
Allan reported that since our last meeting representatives of the groups advocating for
group play have met regarding our tee time issues. The groups have all shown flexibility in
resolving this problem. Allan shared the Tuesday tee sheet via Zoom to illustrate how some
of the groups have agreed to move their times to the afternoon.
Allan pointed out that 40% of our golf course play is our members. The new
proposal for group play will make more tee times available for member, nongroup play. The
new policy will be used on a trial basis for the 2021-2022 winter season. Allan emphasized
that the policy is on a trial basis and he can throw a “red flag” if, in his opinion, it is not
working.
No new groups with allowed to apply for recognition in the 2021-2022 year.
The MGA and WGA will both have tee times on Wednesday. Two existing groups
with 28 combined members have committed to play in the MGA, to support that
organization.
The numbers reflect that 160 of our members play in one or more of the existing
groups.
Rich Pizzolato asked whether the GAB should be involved in establishing the tee
NPB Golf Advisory Board Minutes of September 20, 2021
time policy involving groups. He pointed out that the new proposal is inequitable to some
members, in that groups are allocated tee times without making reservations.
Steve Mathison made a motion that the GAB approve the recommendations of the
professional staff, led by the Director of Golf. He said the MGA should serve as an umbrella
for the various groups.
Rich Pizzolato said that he has often asked the existing groups to be part of the MGA
and they have declined.
The Board then asked for public comment.
Harry Kravit spoke on behalf of his group “Harry’s Hackers”.
Council Member David Norris reminded the Board that the Council has specifically
asked for the GAB recommendations on the issue of group play.
Karen O’Connell spoke on behalf of the “Par Tee Girls”.
Rich Pizzolato made a motion that all members should be allowed to book two tee
times per day, rather than one.
It was pointed out that approval of this motion would defeat the recommendations
made by Allan Bowman.
A parliamentary point was raised that the motion of Rich Pizzolato must be voted
upon before the Board can consider the motion of Mr. Mathison. A vote was taken upon the
motion of Mr. Pizzolato that each member should be allowed to book two tee times per day.
The motion failed by a vote of 6-1.
A vote was then taken on the motion of Mr. Mathison to endorse the
recommendations of Allan Bowman. The motion was passed by a vote of 6-0-1.
Allan Bowman then spoke concerning his report on current golf course operations.
