Councilmember Bickel and Councilmember Norris stated that they had ex-parte communication
with residents and staff from the landscape and architect firm, Cotleur & Hearing regarding the
proposed Old Port Cove South Marina PUD Amendment.
ORDINANCE 2021-11 OLD PORT COVE SOUTH MARINA PUD AMENDMENT
A motion was made by President Pro Tem Mullinix to adopt on first reading Ordinance 2021-11 entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE OLD PORT COVE SOUTH MARINA PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO MODIFY THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATED TO
OUTDOOR SEATING; PROVIDING FOR ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS; PROVIDIN G FOR
CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Thereafter the motion failed for a lack of a second. Attorney Rubin stated that the applicant still
had the right to make their presentation and the motion could again be addressed after.
David Milledge on behalf of Safe Harbour began a presentation regarding the proposed Old Port
Cove PUD Amendment. Mr. Milledge described the location and proposed changes. The
applicant was proposing to expand the outdoor seating at the Belles Restaurant in Old Port Cove.
The proposal was to expand the outdoor seating area from 200 square feet to 1,185 square feet in
total for the creation of anew deck around the north perimeter of the restaurant. The applicant was
proposing a total of thirty (30) seats for the outdoor dining area. Mr. Milledge stated that the
applicant was proposing a new six (6) foot Podocarpus Hedge. Mr. Milledge stated that the
applicant has modified their request from their original request. The changes from the previous
request was to remove the request of an outside office tenant, converting the 1,185 square foot
request to limit outdoor seating to thirty (30) seats, remove the request for a 680 square foot “retail
café” from the restaurant and request five (5) overflow spaces instead of sixteen (16). Mr. Milledge
reviewed and explained parking data from a parking study and based off of the shared parking
agreement the proposed project would have a surplus of thirty-five (35) parking spaces. Mr.
Milledge stated that the applicant was requesting a minor change of closing the outdoor seating at
9 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. Mr. Milledge stated that there was no increase in boat slips, no increase to
membership, no increase to the building square footage, no changes to the operating agreement
which establishes security measures taken at the entry gate or registrations for club members and
no changes to parking. Mr. Milledge concluded by thanking staff for their review.
Principal Planner Alex Ahrenholz began a staff presentation highlighting and clarifying any areas
that Mr. Milledge may have missed in his presentation. Mr. Ahrenholz stated that the actual
ordinance language that would be changed would be the elimination of the outdoor seating area
being 200 square feet and thirty (30) seats and the elimination of the retail café use area. A six (6)
foot hedge was being proposed on one side view of the outdoor seating. Mr. Ahrenholz discussed
and explained the existing conditions that would be maintained. Mr. Ahrenholz discussed and
explained the required parking agreement stating that 138 parking spaces were required by code
and with a parking waiver had been reduced to 122. The proposal would increase the parking
spaces to 148 and 130. Mr. Ahrenholz stated that 125 parking spaces were provided on site and an
additional 40 spaces of overflow parking were provided at Cove Plaza.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held October 28, 2021 Page 3 of 10
ORDINANCE 2021-11 OLD PORT COVE SOUTH MARINA PUD AMENDMENT continued
Staff was proposing a condition that if the project was approved, an updated parking study shall
be provided to the Village within 12 months of approval to show how parking is functioning. If
the parking was not functioning properly, the Village would then work with the applicant to create
a shuttle service to Cove Plaza by increasing valet or utilizing other strategies. Mr. Ahrenholz
discussed Village code regarding outdoor seating and conditions that would be set in place for
noise mitigation.
Mr. Ahrenholz concluded by giving the history of meetings and decisions by the Planning
Commission regarding the application and stated that there was public support of twenty (20)
emails, seven (7) in person and 112 petition signatures. Public opposition was sixteen (16) emails,
eighteen (18) in person including the Property Owners Association and Quay South President. Mr.
Ahrenholz concluded his presentation by stating that the Planning Commission recommended
denial at the October 5th hearing by a vote of 4 to 3. Mr. Ahrenholz stated that if Council approved
the application, staff would recommend six (6) conditions of which he discussed and explained.
Jackie O’Meara, 124 Lakeshore Drive, PH31 gave a presentation on behalf of residents and owners
of Quay South who did not support the proposed Old Port Cove South Marina PUD Amendment.
In her presentation Ms. O’Meara discussed the issues and potential impacts the PUD Amendment
would have to the residents of Quay South and explained how outside dining would be
incompatible with their neighborhood.
These residents also addressed the Council with their concerns regarding the proposed Old Port
Cove South Marina PUD Amendment:
Donald Solodar, 100 Lakeshore Drive
Patricia Freidman, 1208 Marine Way, G6
Mr. Hearing of Cotleur & Hearing responded to the comments that were made by residents who
did not support the Old Port Cove PUD Amendment. Mr. Hearing stated that he was surprised at
the negative response to what equated to five (5) additional tables being added to the restaurant.
Mr. Hearing stated that Safe Harbor was an asset to the Village which brings world class boaters
and mega yachts from all over the world. The facility was important for serving the Old Port Cove
residents and those that come into the harbor. Mr. Hearing stated that square footage was not being
increased and boat slips were not being added. The proposal would promote outdoor activities and
dining. Mr. Hearing encouraged Council to support the request and pass it on first reading.
Mayor Aubrey stated that Old Port Cove was a private, gated residential community mainly
occupied by seniors and it was highly unusual to have a commercial activity within a private
community. The marina in Old Port Cove was established over forty (40) years ago and was done
mainly to provide boat access for the residents and has changed over time to having substantial
commercial activity.
President Pro Tem Mullinix stated that the proposal was not a good fit for Old Port Cove as a
residential community, the Planning Commission recommended denial and the Property Owners
Association was also against it, and therefore he did not support the amendment.
Vice Mayor Searcy stated that she agreed with President Pro Tem Mullinix stating that Old Port
Cove was a residential community and the Planning Commission and residents were opposed to it
and therefore did not support the amendment. Vice Mayor Searcy stated that she was willing to
table the ordinance instead of denying in order to give the applicant time to come back with a
revised proposal.

Chris Ryder, 118 Dory Road, South expressed his concerns about residents disregarding the
approved Master Plan and the time and consulting fees that are spent in order to develop and adopt it.
Mr. Ryder expressed his concerns with the Village accepting a modified Master Plan showing only
the storage area of Anchorage Park that disregards over an acre of waterfront park uplands and
over 825 linear feet of platted water frontage and fails to address how the changes would affect the park.
Kendra Zellner, 604 Laurel Court, stated that she witnessed a situation in her neighborhood
regarding a Village police officer that concerned her and recommended incorporating a
certification process of encouraging empathy, compassion and patience in the Village’s police
officers and on how they police the community.

Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held October 28, 2021 Page 7 of 10
PUBLIC HEARING AND SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 2021-10 ZONING IN PROGRESS
continued
Required landscape area in the twenty-five (25’) foot front yard set-back was fifty percent (50%)
for all properties except properties with frontage along collector roads or properties that have an
irregular lot shape. If homeowners have a difficult time meeting the fifty percent (50%) front yard
requirement, they can set the home back further. All single-family homes shall be limited to two
stories and thirty (30’) feet in height for flat roofs and thirty-five (35’) feet for all other types of
roofs, including gable, hip, gambrel and shed roofs. Lastly 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.
Mr. Hubsch discussed and explained the lot sizes and total allowable square footages under th e
proposed Zoning in Progress. Mr. Hubsch explained how between 2015 and 2019, one (1) out of
sixteen (16) two-story homes and one (1) out of eleven (11) one-story homes exceeded the
maximum allowable square footage allowed by the Zoning in Progress. Mr. Hubsch stated that a
review of permits between 2015 and 2020 revealed that out of twenty-three (23) two-story homes,
eleven (11) met the seventy-five percent (75%) 2nd story proposal, four (4) fell within the five
percent (5%) minor deviation and eight (8) did not meet the seventy-five percent (75%) 2nd story proposal.
Mr. Hubsch explained that the proposed Zoning in Progress would allow projects that were close
to meeting its standards and intent would have a path for approval which would be a waiver process
whereby the applications would go before the Planning Commission for approval if they did not
exceed the maximum building height by more than five (5) feet, reduce any required minimum
landscaped area requirement by more than five percent (5%) and increase the limitation on the
floor area of the second story by more than five percent (5%).

weekends and holidays which kept many residents from parking. Mr. Sherman stated that staff
believed the solution would be to provide residents with free parking permits and for non-residents
to pay a fee. Mr. Sherman discussed and explained the details of how the permits could be
obtained, what would be allowed for residents versus non-residents and the rules and details
associated with the permits. Mr. Sherman discussed outreach, tracking permits and requested
policy guidance.
Chris Ryder, 118 Dory Road, South, expressed that he was in support of parking restrictions at
Lakeside Park. Mr. Ryder discussed his concerns with possible issues that may arise from
restricting access.
Vice Mayor Searcy recommended having a broader discussion on what they are atte mpting to
accomplish with Lakeside Park.
President Pro Tem Mullinix stated that his goal was to make sure that residents would be able to
find parking at Lakeside Park and to eliminate cars parking on resident’s front yards. The goal was
to remove as many non-residents from the parking lot so that residents may be able to park.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding the goal they want to accomplish with
Lakeside Park.
It was agreed by Council that Lakeside Park parking needed to be discussed further at a future meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 11:00 p.m.
VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Jeremy Hubsch, Community Development Director
DATE: November 18, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 2021-12 2nd Reading and Adoption – Prosperity Village PUD
The applicant, Prosperity Village Development, LLC, is seeking approval for an 11-unit gated single
family development on 2.33 acres. The property currently carries a Low-Density Residential future land
use designation and is zoned R-1 Single-Family. The maximum density for the Low-Density land use
category is 5.9 units per acre. The density allows for a maximum of 13 residential units.
Numerous attempts have been made to develop the property in recent years. In 2007, the property was
approved for a 14-unit single-family development by the Planning Commission; however, the project
was never constructed. In 2009, an applicant sought to construct an approximately 25,000 square foot
office building. This proposal included additional parking on an adjacent parcel to the north that is owned
by the City of Palm Beach Gardens, but located within the Village. Ultimately, this proposal never
proceeded to Village Council for final approval. In 2015, a proposal for a 34,443 square foot assisted
living facility with 56 rooms and 68 beds was denied. Finally, in 2019, an application for 12 single-family
homes and 8 townhomes was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and then was
withdrawn prior to review by the Village Council. This request received significant opposition from
residents due to the need to amend the Future Land Use designation to increase the maximum density
of the property.
The applicant is requesting subdivision and preliminary plat review to develop the property into 11
single-family lots. A planned unit development (PUD) has been requested to waive the lot size, lot width,
building setback, and fence height Code restrictions for the R-1 Zoning District. The intent of residential
planned unit developments is to provide “an added degree of flexibility in the placement and
interrelationship of the buildings and uses within the planned unit development”. The applicant has
designed the site plan to only have two lots adjacent to the homes on Pepperwood Circle and has
created two small public green spaces within the development.
The applicant has created a “Design & Diversity Criteria” Guide, which will regulate the development of
each individual parcel. The allowable architectural styles shall be Coastal Modern, Florida
Contemporary, and Modern, with either concrete tile or metal roofing. The homes are limited to 2 stories
or 30 feet in height and are subject to an impervious surface limitation of 70%. However, the impervious
surface calculation does not include open space and buffers provided in common areas of the
development. There is a minimum landscaping standard for each lot, including 1 oak tree, 1 accent
tree, 2 single-trunk palm, 1 double-trunk palm, and 1 triple-trunk palm, as well as shrubs, hedges, and
ground cover. Further details about the development can be found in the Planning Commission staff
report (Attachment A).
Village Master Plan
As one of the few remaining vacant parcels within North Palm Beach, the property was included in the
Village Master Plan in 2016. The Village Master Plan envisioned the site being used for residential use,
with the following qualities:
1. Development clustered to preserve most major trees;
2. Houses that face the street with vehicular access in the rear;
3. The concept plan has a block structure that provides more than one way in and out of the
project to allow traffic to disperse.
4. Consideration of a small coffee shop or corner store, which could provide an amenity to this
portion of Prosperity Farms Road.
The concept plan shown in the Village Master Plan was for a project with 15 houses at 2,700 SF at a
density of 5.9 units per acre, or 14 homes with a corner coffee shop and outdoor seating (The concept
plan can be found in Attachment B). The coffee shop was considered for a parcel of land that is owned
by the City of Palm Beach Gardens, located adjacent to the applicant’s land. Inability to acquire the
adjacent parcel has made it difficult to design a project that meets some of the desired qualities noted
in the Master Plan.
Planning Commission Hearing
The Planning Commission initially considered the application on July 13th. At that meeting, the City of
Palm Beach Gardens spoke in opposition to the project. The Planning Commission elected to continue
the item due to outstanding questions related to the concerns raised by the City. The application went
back before the Planning Commission on August 3rd. At the meeting, the City of Palm Beach Gardens
and a resident spoke in opposition to the project. The Planning Commission questioned the applicant
regarding the concerns raised by the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the resident, and the Commission
members were ultimately satisfied with the applicant’s answers. The Planning Commission voted to
support the project with a unanimous recommendation of 7-0. The concerns raised by the City of Palm
Beach Gardens can be found in Attachment C.
Post Planning Commission Updates
The property is adjacent to a gopher tortoise preserve owned by the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The
applicant started removing gopher tortoises from the property in July, in anticipation of future
development approvals. The gopher tortoise removals were permitted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) and completed in July. The FWC permit recommended the
installation of a protective fence to prevent additional gopher tortoises from entering the site. The
applicant requested a permit from the Village to clear undergrowth in order to put the protective fence
up. The Village explicitly noted that no oak trees shall be removed from the site until final development
approval.
On August 6, the Village received complaints about tree clearing on the property. A site visit determined
that some oaks trees had been removed and the Building Official immediately issued a stop work order.
An inspection determined that three oak trees had been removed during the clearing. These three oaks
were noted to be in poor health in an arborist’s report and were proposed to be removed prior to
construction of the proposed development. However, they were removed prior to approval of the project.
This was determined to be a violation of the Village’s subdivision code. The Village took the violation to
the Special Magistrate on October 4th and sought the maximum possible penalty of $5,000 per oak tree
removed. The applicant came to the Magistrate meeting and noted that the tree removal was a mistake
by the tree removal contractor and apologized. The applicant was found in violation and immediately
paid the maximum fine of $15,000.
Additionally, in light of the early tree removal and negative response from the community, the applicant
amended the site and landscape plans. The initial plan that was recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission had 12 single-family lots. The applicant removed a lot, increased the minimum
lot size and width, and added a 3,000 square foot open space park that will be open to the public. The
park will have three oak trees and a public bench. Each lot will now have an oak tree as well. The project
previously proposed to preserve, relocate, and install 13 oak trees. The project is now proposed to
preserve, relocate, and install 27 oak trees. The open space will be used to satisfy the code requirement
that five percent of the gross land area of a subdivision be dedicated to public use.
First Reading Summary
The proposed project went before Village Council on October 28th for first reading. The proposed
ordinance passed on first reading by a vote of 3-2, with Vice-Mayor Searcy and Councilmember Bickel
voting no.
Waiver Requests
The applicant has requested four (4) waivers to the code as part of the PUD. The waivers include:
reduced lot sizes, reduced building setbacks, reduced lot widths and a height waiver for the fence in
the ROW landscape buffer adjacent to Prosperity Farms Road.
Waivers are being requested to accommodate infrastructure and to meet the Comprehensive Plan
density allowances. The Village Council must weigh the public benefits provided as part of this
application against the waiver of these Code provisions. Benefits provided by the applicant includes a
lot layout intended to minimize adverse impacts on adjacent Pepperwood Circle residents.

Planned Unit Development, preliminary plat, and site plan with the following conditions:
1. Electric entry gate shall match the gate shown in the renderings provided.

Request: An application submitted by Cotleur & Hearing on behalf of Prosperity
Village Development LLC for a Subdivision, Planned Unit Development
and Preliminary plat approval for 12 single family lots.
II. HISTORY
The property is approximately 2.34 total acres with a Low-Density Residential Future Land Use (FLU)
designation and an R-1 Single Family Zoning designation. The property previously contained a single-
family home that was demolished several years ago. Numerous attempts have been made to develop
the property in recent years. The property was approved for a 14-unit single family development by the
Planning Commission in 2007; however, the development was never constructed.
In 2009, an Applicant sought to construct an approximately 25,000 square foot office building. This
proposal included additional parking on an adjacent parcel to the north that is owned by the City of
Palm Beach Gardens, but located within the Village. Ultimately, this proposal never proceeded to
Village Council for final approval. In 2015, a proposal for a 34,443 square foot assisted living facility
with 56 rooms and 68 beds was denied. Finally, in 2019, an application for 12 single-family homes and
8 townhomes was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and then never made it to
Village Council before the application was withdrawn.
As one of the few remaining vacant parcels within North Palm Beach, the property was included in the
Village Master Plan in 2016. The Village Master Plan envisioned the site being used for residential use,
with the following qualities:
1. Development clustered to preserve most major trees;
2. Houses that face the street with vehicular access in the rear;
3. The concept plan has a block structure that provides more than one way in and out of the project
to allow traffic to disperse.
4. Consideration of a small coffee shop or corner store, which could provide an amenity to this portion
of Prosperity Farms Road.
The concept plan shown in the Village Master Plan was for a project with 15 houses at 2,700 SF at a
density of 5.9 units per acre, or 14 homes with a corner coffee shop and outdoor seating (The concept
plan can be found in Attachment A). The coffee shop was considered for a parcel of land that is adjacent
to the applicant’s land.
III. REQUEST & PROPERTY INFORMATION
The applicant is requesting to subdivide the four vacant parcels into a 12-unit single-family gated
neighborhood. A landscape buffer will be provided along Prosperity Farms Rd and utilize the existing
access point approximately 1/8 mile south of the Allamanda intersection. The applicant is subdividing
the lots, developing the streets and infrastructure, then each lot will be sold off individually for custom
home construction. The buildings will follow a proposed development design criteria for styling, finishes
and massing. The site plan also reflects the setbacks and lot sizes for each parcel that require waivers
to the current R-1 Zoning District.
August 3rd Planning Commission Updates:
This project was presented at the July 13th planning commission meeting and is being brought back with
slight changes. The commissioners had various concerns that resulted in tabling the item until they could
be addressed or resolved. The first issue dealt with the grading to the adjacent properties. The updated
plans have lowered the grade of the houses and the swale ends consistent with the adjacent grades.
To preserve the trees, small walls (6-18 inches) are proposed to prevent any fill from needing to go over
the existing roots. The wall cross sections can be found on engineering sheets C-16 and C-17.
Stacking on to Prosperity Farms Road was addressed and there is enough room for two cars as shown
on engineering sheet C-20. The auto turn analysis previously provided was compliant with the Village
of North Palm Beach standards and the Florida Fire Prevention Code. Palm Beach Gardens Fire
Department raised concerns over the ability to make the turns, so the applicant provided slightly more
room by reducing the landscape median at the entrance.
During the discussions of the previous meeting, staff has proposed to add three (3) new conditions of
approval. The first was added as condition 7 in regards to the height differential between the crown of
road and the home site elevations as required by the Florida Building Code. The next was added as
condition 18 to prevent gopher tortoises from coming under the fence to the subject site. The final new
condition, number 19, was added after discussions with the US Postal Service to locate a central mailbox
for the community.
Two conditions of approval were amended as requested by the applicant and agreed to by staff.
Condition 5 was amended to preserve the landscape median on Prosperity Farms Rd. that the County
has proposed to remove. Condition 16 was amended for the timing of the site work during permitting at
the applicant’s request.
The only change to the attachments of this staff report was the addition of the comment responses in
attachment B. The submittal document file includes unedited design criteria and rendering flipbook, but
the site, landscape, and engineering plans have been updated to reflect the changes described in
Attachment B.
A summary of the changes the applicant has made to the plans, per the comments given at the July 13th
meeting, can be found in Attachment B.

IV. PUBLIC INPUT AND NOTICES
Public Notices: The sign was posted on the property on June 20, 2021 for the proposed application.
The legal ad was advertised in the Palm Beach Post on July 6, 2021 and courtesy notices were mailed
to property owners within 500ft of the subject site on June 25, 2021 for the July 13, 2021 Planning
Commission meeting
A public meeting was conducted by the applicant with members of the adjacent neighborhoods on May
20th in the Obert room of the Village Library. The residents in attendance were generally supportive of
the project, particularly compared to the most recent proposal, which had more units and required a
Future Land Use Amendment to increase density. There were some comments related to the design
that resulted in some changes to the site plan layout and ultimately led to the preservation of more oak
trees along the property lines.
Since the City of Palm Beach Gardens owns property within 500 feet of the site, they were notified of
the proposed PUD. A letter was sent by Palm Beach Gardens staff with concerns of buffering the
preserve area and creating more space for fire truck turn around (see Attachment C).
V. ANALYSIS OF APPLICANT’S REQUEST
A. Subdivision
The property is currently comprised of four unplatted parcels. The applicant is proposing to subdivide
them into twelve (12) lots ranging in size from 4,739 SF to 7,286 SF. The Low Density Residential land
use designation permits up to 5.8 units per acre. With a total of 2.34 acres, there are a maximum of
thirteen (13) homes allowed. The homeowner’s association will maintain the main entrance, road, and
perimeters of the development.
The preliminary plat has been submitted for review per Section 36-10, which requires Planning
Commission recommendations to the Village Council for final approval. Subsection 5 specifies that
“particular attention shall be given to the arrangement, location and width of streets, their relation to
the topography of the land, water supply, sewage disposal, drainage, lot sizes and arrangement, the
present or future development of adjoining lands, and the requirements of the comprehensive plan
and zoning ordinance.”
“Following the hearing on the preliminary plat, the planning commission shall recommend to the village
council one (1) of the following actions:
1. Issue a certificate of preliminary plat approval.
2. Issue a certificate of conditional plat approval, subject to any necessary modifications which
shall be noted on the preliminary plat or attached to it in writing.
3. Disapproval of the preliminary plat or any portion thereof, stating the reasons for disapproval
in writing. The subdivider may reapply for preliminary plat approval in accordance with
provisions of this section.
B. Planned Unit Development (PUD) with Waivers
The proposed development does not meet five (5) of the current regulations of the R1 zoning district, thus
necessitating waivers, which are allowed through the PUD process per Section 45-51. Per Section 45-35.1,
the intent of a PUD is to allow: “an added degree of flexibility in the placement and interrelationship of the
buildings and uses within the planned unit development, together with the implementation of new design
concepts.” The Planning Commission is required to study the impact of the waivers and make
recommendations to the Village Council for final approval.

1. Waiver for lot size reduction
a. The applicant has 2.34 acres of land with an underlying future land use designation of 5.8
units per acre allowable. A maximum of thirteen (13) units are permitted on the property
given the current lot sizes allowed in the code, but this does not take into account the
streets, entrance and setback provided from the roadway. In order to provide these
necessary functions and maintain the density, the applicant had to reduce the lot sizes. Lot
10 is proposed to be the smallest at 4,739 SF and the largest will be 7,286 SF.
2. Waiver for building setbacks
a. With the reduction of the lot sizes, building setbacks must also be reduced to maintain a
normal sized home for the area. The lots will still maintain 30% pervious surfaces after
accounting for the driveway and the pool.
3. Waiver for lot width
a. This waiver runs concurrently with the lot size reduction. Lot widths are proposed to be
reduced to fit all of the lots into the development. The smallest of the lots will be 50 ft wide.
4. Waiver for pool setback
a. Pools are required a rear setback of 7.5 feet in the rear and 5 feet on the sides. The reduced
setback in the rear is partly due to the reduced lot sizes and building setbacks. With a rear
setback of 10 feet, only 5 feet of pool area would be permitted. A reduced pool setback
provides some design flexibility. Plus, the rear of each property will abut either a natural
area, right-of-way or another lot in this community, therefore an adverse impact to the
existing homes on Pepperwood is not foreseen as the side setbacks will remain in place.
5. Waiver for higher fence along Prosperity Farms Rd.
a. Six (6) foot powder coated black aluminum picket fence is proposed along t he back of the
landscape buffer. Four (4) foot fences are permitted, but 6-foot fences are installed along
Prosperity Farms Rd for both the Harbour Isles and Prosperity Harbor neighborhoods.
C. Site Plan Analysis
a. Traffic Analysis
According to the traffic statement prepared by Kimley-Horn, there are 120 daily trips anticipated
with a total of 9 ingress/egress during the morning peak hour and 13 ingress/egress during the
evening peak hour. This level of traffic exempts the development from requiring concurrency
with Palm Beach County Traffic Division. Additionally, it is small enough to not require a turn
lane either from the North or South.
b. Site Design
The proposed neighborhood utilizes an existing curb cut to along Prosperity Farms Rd. Though
there have been past discussions of creating an additional entrance to Allamanda Dr, the City
of Palm Beach Gardens owns the property to the immediate north and designated it as
conservation. Therefore, the site only faces one street and needed to utilize a unique design
for cars to navigate to each lot. The main entrance will have an unguarded gate with a call box
for guests. A separate knox box will be available for police and fire to answer emergency calls
as necessary.
The lots were oriented to have the rear of each property face the preserve areas and none of
the backyards of the homes will face the existing homes on Pepperwood Circle. According to
the applicant, the lots were designed to be of varying sizes to encourage different types of
architecture which eliminates “cookie cutter” development.
c. Easements
There is an existing Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) easement along Prosperity Farms road
that will remain and another easement that is obsolete which will be abandoned. SUA has
requested a 20-foot easement to the proposed lift station which will run along the southern
property line. The north and west property lines will have a four (4) foot drainage easement
which will provide drainage for the neighborhood. Though in individual properties, it will be
dedicated in the plat, recorded into the declaration of covenants and maintained by the
homeowner’s association. A 10-foot utility easement is also proposed in the front of every yard
which will include the gas line, water and sewer.
d. Landscaping
The existing site is largely undeveloped, with a small clearing where a single family home was
previously located. An environmental assessment was provided for the property with the
previously denied assisted living facility application in 2014 (Attachment D). That assessment
declared the 2.3-acre site as “disturbed lands”, which is to say that there are no significant
environmental habitats (wetlands, scrub, etc). The report stated, “that the vegetation within this
parcel is comprised of a combination of native plants, cultivated landscape and invasive exotic
species and some of the natives have been planted here as opposed to being naturally
occurring.” The report further states that “oak and cabbage palm are the predominate native
species” and that “Invasive, exotic Brazilian pepper dominates the midstory layer”.
Section 36-38.1 of the Village Code of Ordinances details the process for land clearing and
vegetation protection. All native vegetation is required to be preserved whenever possible. The
applicant is proposing to preserve eight live oaks along the perimeters and relocate three live
oaks to the entrance island. The landscape architect determined that the large oaks were of
lower quality which did not necessitate preserving or relocating. The Village sought the opinion
of an independent arborist, who conducted a report which detailed the quality of the seven
largest oak trees (>20 inch diameter trunks) (Attachment E). The report found that all of the
trees were of poor or fair condition with the highest rated one at about 40% viability.
D. Appearance Plan Compliance
Sec. 6-36. - Powers and duties of planning commission concerning the appearance code.
The planning commission shall have the following powers and duties:
1. To hold public hearings on and make recommendations for amendments to the appearance plan.
2. To consult with and cooperate with the planning and zoning advisory board, the beautification
committee and other village departments, and any other municipal or governmental bodies on
matters affecting the appearance of the village.
3. To study exterior design drawings, landscape and site plans and materials for any proposed public
works or public improvements and to make recommendations to the council or village manager as
to the architectural or aesthetic aspects thereof. De Minimis
4. To study and review preliminary and final plats and make recommendations to the planning and
zoning advisory board and the village council.
5. To hold hearings, when required, on the issuance of certificates of appropriateness as provided in
section 6-59, in connection with questions pertaining to applications for building permits and to
issue or deny such certificates pursuant to the provisions of such section 6-59.
Sec. 6-58. - Action of planning commission.
Upon consideration of an application, the planning commission shall issue a certificate of
appropriateness to the community development department upon a finding that the plan conforms to
the village appearance plan and that the proposed building or structure is appropriate to, and
compatible with, the character of the immediate neighborhood and will not cause a substantial
depreciation in property values. If the planning commission determines that these criteria are not met,
the planning commission shall provide such advice, counsel, suggestions and recommendations on
matters pertaining to aesthetics as it may deem necessary to guide the prospective applicant in the
development of a plan which would comply with the requirements and purposes of the appearance
plan. If preliminary hearings have been held on the project for which application is being made, and
preliminary approval has been issued by the planning commission as provided in section 6-56, the
planning commission shall issue a certificate of appropriateness immediately, provided that the final
drawings, plans and material as presented comply in all respects with the preliminary presentation
upon which the preliminary approval was based.
Sec. 6-59. - Approval by planning commission.
The planning commission shall issue a certificate of appropriateness upon a concurring vote of at least
three (3) members. No building or other permit, otherwise required under the ordinances of the village,
for the erection, construction, alteration or repair of any building or structure in a multiple-dwelling,
commercial or public zoning district shall be approved by the community development director except
upon the granting of a certificate of appropriateness by the planning commission. The foregoing
requirements shall not preclude the issuance of a building permit without such certificate if the
community development director shall determine that no external architectural feature as defined in
section 6-31 is involved in the work for which the building permit is sought.
According to the applicant’s justification statement, the project is meeting the intent of the appearance
plan. Their descriptions of each section have been provided in the attached design criteria.
Section 45-35.1. IV.-Action of planning commission
A. After a study of an application for a planned unit development and the required public
hearing, the planning commission shall make a recommendation to the village council to
approve, approve as modified, or reject the application based upon the followi ng standards:
1. The proposed use or uses shall be of such location, size and character as to be in
harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the zoning district in which
situated and shall not be detrimental to the orderly development of adj acent zoning
districts.
2. The location and size of the proposed use or uses, the nature and intensity of the
principal use and all accessory uses, the site layout and its relation to streets giving access
to it, shall be such that traffic to and from the use or uses, and the assembly of persons in
connection therewith, will not be hazardous or inconvenient to the neighborhood nor conflict
with the normal traffic of the neighborhood. In applying this standard, the commission shall
consider, among other things: convenient routes for pedestrian traffic, particularly of
children; the relationship of the proposed project to main traffic thoroughfares and to street
and road intersections; and, the general character and intensity of the existing and potential
development of the neighborhood. In addition, where appropriate, the commission shall
determine that noise, vibration, odor, light, glare, heat, electromagnetic or radioactive
radiation, or other external effects, from any source whatsoever which is connected with the
proposed use, will not have a detrimental effect upon neighboring property or the
neighboring area in general.
3. The location and height of buildings, the location, nature and height of walls and fences,
and the nature and extent of landscaping of the site shall be such that they will not hinder
or discourage the proper development and use of adjacent land and buildings nor impair
the value thereof.
4. The standards of density and required open space in the proposed project are at least
equal to those required by this ordinance in the zoning district in which the proposed
project is to be located, except as may be permitted for key redevelopment sites through
subsection 45-35.1.VIII
5. There shall be no uses within the proposed project which are n ot permitted uses in the
zoning district in which the proposed project is to be located. Exception: Mixed uses may
be allowed if the existing zoning district usage is commercial. The mixed uses shall only be
residential and mercantile or residential and b usiness.
B. The commission may recommend such changes or modifications in the proposed plan as are
needed to achieve conformity to the standards as herein specified. The reasons for the changes or
modifications shall be included in the recommendation.
C. The commission shall not recommend the project unless it finds that all of the standards as
herein specified have been met. If there are minor modifications to the provisions of this chapter,
the commission may recommend its approval at the same time. It sh all also, where it deems
appropriate and necessary, recommend to the village council those conditions to be imposed upon
the project, its operation, or both, that are needed to assure adherence to the aforesaid standards .
V. CONCLUSION

provides the following qualities:
1. Development is clustered to preserve
most major trees;
2. Houses face the street with vehicular

3. The concept plan has a block structure
that provides more than one way in
and out of the project to allow traff c
to disperse.

Update August 12, 2021
City of Palm Beach Garden’s Staff attended the July 13 and August 3, 2021,
Village of North Palm Beach Planning Commission meetings to raise concerns
and objections related to the Prosperity Village development. Those concerns
and objections were outlined in letters sent to the Village ’s Community
Development Director on July 9 and August 3, 2021, and are contained at the
end of the Memorandum.
At the August 3, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission voted 7-
0 to recommend approval of the project to the Village Council, despite the
concerns stated in this memorandum and stated at the Planning Commission
meeting. City Staff continues to object to this project and respectfully request
the Village Council consider these objections and have the Applicant address
the City’s concerns through modifications to the project design. Please see
below.
1. The Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department has strong concerns with its
ability to provide a Fire-Rescue response through the City and Village’s
mutual aid agreement based on the current site design that does not provide
the required and proper turn around design for dead-end streets pursuant
to 18.2.3.5.4 of the Florida State Fire Code.
The site, as currently designed, would require Palm Beach Gardens Fire-
Rescue vehicles to backup approximately 240 feet, which exceeds the 150

feet in length for dead-end streets, before being able to conduct an exiting
turn movement. “Access roads more than 150-feet in length shall be
provided with approved provisions for fire apparatuses to turn around.”
(See attached Florida State Fire Code)
The proposed design impacts the ability of fire/rescue personnel to access
the dwelling units effectively if required by the Automatic Aid Agreements
between governments.
2. The project design continues to only provide approximately 21 -feet of
vehicle stacking from the visitor callbox to the Prosperity Farms right-of-
way line. This is a limited amount of vehicle stacking that cannot
reasonably accommodate more than one vehicle. Without a turn lane, there
will be inevitable vehicle overflow onto Prosperity Farms Road.
3. The City respectfully requests the Applicant to present and include Best
Management Practices, b0th during potential construction and after , to
protect the City’s Upland Preserve to the west.
4. The City respectfully requests the Applicant to provide a landscape buffer
along the project’s west boundary that abuts the City’s upland preserve and
along the projects north boundary that abuts property owned by the City of
Palm Beach Gardens.
5. The project design does not include any onsite open space and/or
recreational amenities.
6. The project design does not include a location for a United States Postal
Service mail kiosk on the site plan. A Condition of Approval has been
proposed requiring the Applicant to provide a location on the site plan prior
to the issuance of vertical construction permits. The location of this mail
kiosk is significant since its location may impact Fire-Rescue
maneuverability on site.
The proposed project design is requesting certain waivers from the Village’s
R-1 development standards including reductions in the required building
front, rear, and side setbacks, a reduced pool setback, and a reduced minimum
lot size setback, that do not appear to be justified by any measure of
reasonable criteria from the adopted Village Code.
The requested building setback waivers will further impact the City’s Fire-
Rescue Department to respond to any incident(s) by severely limiting fire
apparatus maneuverability and access to rear yards. Reduced front setbacks
will limit driveway lengths ultimately leading to residents parking within the
street. Reduced side setbacks will not allow proper clearance around
mechanical equipment (A/C units, pool equipment, etc.) for first responder
access to rear yards.
Page 3 of 5
Not providing a landscape buffer adjacent to the City’s upland preserve and
property to the north has the potential to lead to residents dumping trash and
debris over the fence, draining or emptying pools into the City’s property, or
illegally trespassing on to City property during unauthorized times.
The limited vehicle stacking from the callbox will have waiting vehicles
stacking into the Prosperity Farms right-of-way ultimately blocking traffic.
City Staff is willing to work with the Village to address these site plan issues.
End Update
Update August 2, 2021
City of Palm Beach Garden’s Staff attended the July 13, 2021 Village of North Palm Beach
Planning Commission meeting to raise concerns and objections related to the Proposed
Prosperity Village development. Those concerns and objections were outlined in a letter sent
to the Village’s Community Development Director on July 9, 2021 and are contained at the
end of this Memorandum for the record.
At the July 13, 2021 Planning Commission meeting, further concerns and objections were
brought before the Village’s Planning Commission based on discussion during the meeting
related to the buffering and stormwater drainage from this proposed project onto the
property owned by the City of Palm Beach Gardens to the west and north of this site, and the
vehicle queuing/stacking from this project’s proposed call box location to the Prosperity
Farms Road right-of-way.
1. The City still has concerns that there is no buffer proposed against the City of Palm Beach
Gardens-owned property to the west that is designated as a gopher tortoise preserve. The
project needs to provide a buffer on their own property.
2. Additionally, there is no buffering being proposed against the City of Palm Beach
Gardens-owned property to the north. The project needs to provide a buffer on their own
property.
3. As discussed at the Planning Commission meeting, the City is concerned with the limited
stacking/queuing distance from the project’s entry callbox to the Prosperity Farms Road
right-of-way. The project should meet the minimum stacking/queuing distance required
by Palm Beach County.
4. The Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department requires R-20 turn radii to adequately
accommodate fire equipment. The proposed plan indicated turn radii of 25 and 30
degrees. The proposed design impacts the ability of fire/rescue personnel to access the
dwelling units effectively if required by the Automatic Aid Agreements betwe en
governments.
Page 4 of 5
5. The Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department requires the roadways to be at least 20’ wide
and the dead-end turnarounds must be 60’ to adequately accommodate fire equipment.
The proposed design impacts the ability of fire/rescue personnel to access the dwelling
units effectively if required by the Automatic Aid Agreements between governments.
6. The Applicant has not included or identified Best Management Practices to protect the
City’s Gopher Tortoise Upland Preserve and property to the north from construction
activities and future residents.
7. The proposed site plan continues to have limited open space or and no recreation facilities
for residents.
End Update
The City has received Public Notice of a Zoning Change petition going to the Planning
Commission hearing in the Village of North Palm Beach on July 13, 2021. The petition is for
a zoning change from Low Density Residential to Low Density Residential with a PUD overlay
to build 12 dwelling units on 2.335 acres. Several waivers are requested as well.
The proposed development would consist of 12 single family custom homes with the main
access from Prosperity Farms Road. The home lots will vary in size and the architecture will
consist of Modern, Coastal Modern, and Florida Contemporary.
The City reviewed a previously proposed application and provided comments on August 1,
2019. The proposed site plan consisted of 12 single family homes and two 4-unit townhomes.
Please see updated comments regarding the revised site plan.
The City has the following objections and comments on the proposed
development. The City requests the petition be revised accordingly.
1. No buffer is proposed against the City of Palm Beach Gardens-owned property to the west
that is designated as a gopher tortoise preserve. The project needs to provide a buffer on
their own property.
2. No buffer is proposed against the City of Palm Beach Gardens -owned property to the
north. The project needs to provide a buffer on their own property.
3. The Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department requires R-20 turn radii to adequately
accommodate fire equipment. The proposed plan does not indicate the turn radii. The
proposed design impacts the ability of fire/rescue personnel to access the dwelling units
effectively if required by the Automatic Aid Agreements between governments.
4. The Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department requires the roadways to be at least 20’ wide
and the dead-end turnarounds must be 60’ to adequately accommodate fire equipment.
The proposed design impacts the ability of fire/rescue personnel to access the dwelling
units effectively if required by the Automatic Aid Agreements between governments.

5. The two fire hydrants appear to be placed well and should be adequate if they have a
minimum flow of 1,000 gpm.
6. Has the applicant identified Best Management Practices for construction to protect
gopher tortoises on site or other conservation items?
7. The proposed site plan contains limited open space or recreation facilities for residents.

HISTORY
This site has no previous village approvals; however, it did have a single-family residence which
was demolished in 2008.
REQUEST
1. Rezoning from R-1 to R-1 with an underlying PUD
2. Site Plan approval for the proposed neighborhood consisting of 12 residential dwelling
lots.
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning
The current zoning of R-1 and future land use of low-density residential (LDR) are adequate to
provide the proposed single-family use and the proposed density of 12 units. However, to provide
flexibility towards the standard zoning development standards, Applicant is requesting a PUD to
achieve better overall design for the proposed neighborhood.

Overview of Request
Within the R-1 zoning district, single-family dwellings with accessory buildings customarily
incident thereto, are permitted. The purpose of this request is to provide greater flexibility in
designing a small, 11 lot subdivision through the creation of a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Part of the request to include an underlying PUD is to provide relief from the typical setback
requirements, reduction in the minimum lot size, and reduction in minimum lot width. Relief from
such development standards will allow a lot configuration which would allow sidewalks and a
central tree-island in the middle of the neighborhood, as well as two open space areas accessible
by the public. Pursuant to code section 45-35.1, creating the PUD adds a degree of flexibility in
the placement and interrelationship of the buildings and uses within the PUD with implementation
of new design concepts. The proposed 11 lot neighborhood will not have a negative impact on
the surrounding areas. Rather, the project would help with limiting the number of tear-downs
happening in other neighborhoods by giving prospective owners a place to build a new custom
home.
Project Description
This 2.33-acre site is generally surrounded by residential uses with a preserve area immediately
to the west and a vacant parcel to the north of the property. A resident or guest would access the
neighborhood from a single access point off Prosperity Farms Road. Adjacent to the road, an
aluminum fence is provided within a substantial landscape buffer. The entrance into the
community has a callbox and an escape turn-around before entering through the gate in order to
reduce conflicts and prevent unnecessary stacking. The callbox would include a Knox switch and
Click 2 Enter module to allow emergency services to gain access to the neighborhood. Residents
would use an RFID or similar technology to bypass the callbox and enter the site. Once entering
the gate, a vehicle would enter onto a one-way circle roadway network leading back to Prosperity
Farms Road through the exiting gate. USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Amazon will be given
specific codes to use at the callbox to allow for expediate access into the neighborhood. These
codes will be identified on mailing labels and will renewed every 30 days. City personal, including
garbage collection, will have a dedicated code, as well, to further provide convenience.
Generally, all of the lots have unique dimensions with the smallest lot being 55’ x 115’ and the
largest lot being 69’ x 112’. These varying lots will provide a variety of designs and layouts to the
neighborhood which is in stark contrast to typical “cookie-cutter” neighborhood.
Immediately south of the project is the Pepperwood Circle neighborhood (“Pepperwood”) which
consists of 1- and 2-story homes. Lots 1 and 7 would be the only two properties abutting
Pepperwood. While these houses may be up to 2 stories in height, it should be noted that a
building located on Lot 1 would be 47 feet from the house located at 2537 Pepperwood Circle
which is a 2-story building. A potential house on Lot 7 would be over 53 feet from the house
located at 2511 Pepperwood Circle due to a SUA easement along the southern property line. The
proposed project and Pepperwood are both single-family residential neighborhoods and are
inherently compatible, let alone the fact that these is considerable distance between the existing
residences and the proposed buildings and that 2-story buildings already exist along Pepperwood
Circle.
The proposed lots will be graded to promote positive flow of stormwater runoff towards the
neighborhood’s main drainage infrastructure. With a maximum proposed impervious area of 70%,

PUD and Site Plan Review

the proposed yard drains would provide proper drainage of these lots and the overall
neighborhood.
This neighborhood’s design will be regulated through the enclosed design guidelines. These
guidelines require architecture styles of Modern, Coastal Modern, and Florida Contemporary. The
guidelines provide broad development standards for such matters as driveway widths and
configurations, fences and gates, uses, pools, generators, accessory structures, and landscaping.
These guidelines further explain the process of neighborhood approval before any permits can
be sought from the Village. In addition to these guidelines, a color and material exhibit will be
provided from which any custom home must adhere to. This further creates a cohesive yet unique
neighborhood.
Please see the enclosed traffic analysis for the proposed use. Based on the current zoning district
and a theoretical development of 12 single family homes, this potential development would create
120 daily trips with 9 net AM peak and 13 net PM peak-hour trips. As reflected on the traffic
analysis for the purposed project, this project has a de minimis impact on traffic. Based on the
revised plan of 11 single family homes, the anticipated traffic generated would be even less.
Moreover, this project would satisfy the desire for infill development at the corner of Prosperity
Farms Road and Allamanda Drive as described in the new Village Master Plan. It should be
noted that although the master plan envisions pedestrian connectivity from the project to
Allamanda Drive by way of a pathway through the preserve area, the City of Palm Beach Gardens
had previously objected to such a pedestrian pathway.
Gopher Tortoises
It has been identified that this property may have the presence of Gopher Tortoises and therefore
Applicant will follow the Florida Wildlife Commission’s (FWC) Gopher Tortoise Permitting
Guidelines wherein any located burrows will be flagged and classified. Proper permits from FWC
will be obtained by Applicant, if necessary, for the relocation of any Gopher Tortoises to a long-
term protected recipient sites consistent with FWC’s guidelines.
Village Master Plan
Within the Village’s Master Plan, the southwest corner of Allamanda Drive and Prosperity Farms
Road envisions infill development consistent with Applicant’s proposal. This southwest corner
includes the preserve area owned by the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the project site. The
master plan calls out four qualities:
1) Development is clustered to preserve most major trees;
Applicant is proposing to relocate trees of significance to a dedicated tree
island which would be the crown jewel of the neighborhood. It would be the
focal point as a resident enters the community and would be easily visible
from Prosperity Farms Road. Additionally, Applicant will be adding new Oak
trees to the main open area park.
2) Houses face the street with vehicular access in the rear;
The proposed plan provides for a traditional approach to lot configuration
and building placement. Having vehicular access in the rear reduces the
useability of a backyard and creates additional road surfaces throughout the
neighborhood.

3) Block pattern to disperse traffic flows;
Unlike the Master Plan, Applicant does not own the preserve area and
therefore has a smaller land area than envisioned by the Master Plan. With
a smaller land area, a block pattern could not be achieved, however,
Applicant has proposed a lot layout to allow for an intuitive traffic pattern.
4) Optional small commercial outparcel.
Applicant is not proposing a commercial aspect to this development, nor is
such commercial element consistent with or compatible to the surrounding
residential properties.
Sec. 45-35.1 – Planned Unit Development
The statement of intent describing the district requires a minimum of 1 acre and provides a
degree of flexibility in the placement and interrelationship of the buildings and uses within the
planned unit development, together with the implementation of new design concepts. This site
is implementing a unique design for the better placement of residential lots on the site to fully
utilize the property. The request to be a PUD does not increase the density of the site.
Additionally, it does not restrict the open space, air, or light that would be provided in other
zoning districts. There are only three items not meeting the code requirements of the R-1 district,
which is the setback requirements, the minimum lot width and minimum lot size.
Public Benefit
As part of this subdivision, Applicant has coordinated with Seacoast Utility Authority for the
abandonment of the existing lift station in order to install a new lift station which would correct
existing deficiencies of the existing lift station. Applicant has proposed a 20’ easement and
considerable amount of land to properly locate this equipment. This lift station would provide the
village and the surrounding neighborhoods with a substantial public benefit.
In addition to the lift station, Applicant is proposing two open area parks within the subdivision
which are accessible from Prosperity Farms Road to be enjoyed with the public. These parks
provide open space for residents to enjoy the outdoors while still within the comfort of the
subdivision. For the security of those who live within the subdivision, gates which grant access
internally will be outfitted with code-locking mechanisms so that the general public may access
the parks but not the subdivision.

1. Minimum Lot Width – Section 24-27C
Village code for the R-1 zoning district requires homes to have a minimum 75’ lot width.
The proposed lot widths range from 50’ to 69’ which will still allow for large homes to be
built on each lot. The average lot width is 60’. The smaller lot widths will allow for a quaint,
village-feel within the neighborhood.
2. Minimum Lot Area – Section 24-27C
Per village code, the minimum building site area (also known as lot area) for each single-
family dwelling shall be 7,500 SF. Prosperity Village will have varying lot sizes which will
range from 7,614 SF to 5,681 SF. While some lots have a uniform size, the majority of
the lot sizes will be unique amongst each other. This allows for different architectural
styles and footprints and clearly breaks the mold of a typical standardized neighborhood
where all lots are identical.
3. Building Setback – Section 45-27D
The specific setback requirements pursuant to the R-1 zoning district require a front
setback of 25’, rear setback of 20’, side setback of 10’, and a side-street setback of 20’.
Applicant is proposing setbacks as follows: 20’ front setback; 10’ rear setback; 5’ side
setback; and 10’ side-street setback. This request is in tandem with the other waiver
requests found above. With smaller lots, the standard setbacks account for a larger
percentage of the lot which is no longer buildable. Smaller setbacks allow for more of a
small village-feel and a sense of belonging.
4. Pool Setback – Section 25-2 & 45-36(B)
The proposed project is unique in that it has a preserve area on two sides of the property.
This area provides substantial buffering from the surrounding uses and as such the
required 7.5’ setback for pools is not warranted. Applicant proposes a 5’ setback to
provide greater flexibility in the design of an owner’s pool on their lot. Pools are mainstay
in Florida so Applicant wants to ensure the backyards of each lot could accommodate a
pool.
5. Fence Setback/Height – Section 45-36(D)
PROSPERITY VILLAGE

CH # 210303

Page 6 of 6
Section 45-36(D) permits only a 4’ fence within the front yard or side yard for a corner lot.
Applicant is proposing a 6’ fence along Prosperity Farms Road. This proposed fence
would be 10’ from the neighbor’s property line and over 17’ from edge of pavement of
Prosperity Farms Road. This proposal is consistent with other gated neighborhoods within
the Village.
CONCLUSION
The proposed neighborhood will provide custom home builders and future residents the
opportunity to be part of a cohesive yet unique neighborhood. The project is not requesting
additional density, however, is seeking waivers to properly layout the proposed residential lots in
a logical and efficient manner. We look forward to the delivering an amazing project which will
serve as a beautiful addition to this one-of-a-kind village.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney
Jeremy Hubsch, Community Development Director
DATE: October 28, 2021
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 2nd Reading – Amending Chapter 2 of the Village Code to modify the
procedures for civil code enforcement citations.
The Village Council first authorized the use of civil citations for code enforcement through the adoption
of Ordinance No. 2009-11 on September 10, 2009. While the citation process has not been utilized often
in the past, Staff is proposing modifications to the Code to clarify the procedures applicable to the
issuance of citations and make them slightly more user friendly. Specifically, the attached Ordinance
provides as follows:
Authorizes the park ranger to issue code citations in Village parks;
Substitutes the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate for the Code Enforcement Board; and
Clarifies that a person who fails to request a hearing, fails to pay the fine within the time specified
or unsuccessfully challenges the citation is subject to the maximum civil penalty of up to $500.00
plus administrative costs.
At its October 28, 2021 meeting, the Village Council adopted the Ordinance on first reading without
modification.
While Staff originally indicated that this item would be accompanied by a Resolution updating the list of
Code sections that may be enforced by citation and adopting a new fine schedule, Staff is still
coordinating civil citations with a new parking citation procedures and developing the required forms.
Staff anticipates that the Resolution will be placed on the Village Council’s December 9, 2021 agenda.
There is no fiscal impact.
The attached Ordinance has been prepared by the Village Attorney and reviewed for legal sufficiency.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval on second and final reading of the
attached Ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Village Code of Ordinances to modify the
procedures for the issuance of civil code enforcement citations in accordance with Village
policies and procedures.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Zakariya M. Sherman, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: November 18, 2021
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 2nd Reading – Amending Chapter 20 (Parks, Playgrounds and
Recreation) of the Village Code of Ordinances to adopt a new Section 20-10
prohibiting Fires and Grills
Village Staff is recommending the adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter 20 (Parks,
Playgrounds and Recreation) of the Village Code of Ordinances to adopt a new section prohibiting
fires and grills within the limits of any of the Village’s park or recreational areas, including the
North Palm Beach Country Club.
Background:
There have been a number of recent incidents involving people using charcoal or gas grills in
Village parks, including Lakeside Park and Anchorage Park. Grills are potential safety hazards
due to their ability to burn, char, mar or blemish Village property, including pavilions, picnic tables,
benches, trees, and grass. Furthermore, charcoal or propane tanks left in the grassy areas or on
the beach without being disposed of properly interfere with the recreational use of such property
by Village residents and other members of the public.
Staff has received multiple complaints from residents regarding fires and grills in Village parks or
recreational areas:
Hot coals dumped on the grass at Lakeside Park, burning a small patch of grass;
Hot coals dumped on the beach at Lakeside Park, posing a safety hazard for those walking
on the sand;
Disposable charcoal grills left in the parks on the grass or beach, along with their
packaging; and
At Anchorage Park, there have been reports of people grilling under the pavilion.
Although the Police Department has assisted Parks and Recreation staff by enforcing existing
parks-related ordinances, a clear prohibition of fires and the use of grills that aren’t provided by
the Village (ie permanently installed grills) will provide staff with another tool to prevent potential
safety hazards and maintenance-related issues in the Village’s park and recreation areas.
Ordinance Detail:
No person, other than members of village staff or licensed contractors act ing under the authority
of the Village, shall build, light or cause to be lighted any fire within the limits of any Village park
and recreational area, including the North Palm Beach Country Club. This prohibition shall
specifically include fires within any type of suitable container, including, but not limited to,
barbeque grills and fire pits. The exception to this prohibition is if the Village provides a grill as
an amenity in a park.
At its October 28, 2021 meeting, the Village Council adopted the Ordinance on first reading
without modification.
The attached Ordinance has been prepared and reviewed for legal sufficiency by the Village
Attorney.
Recommendation:
Village Staff recommends Council consideration and adoption on second and final reading
of the attached Ordinance amending Chapter 20 of Parks, Playgrounds and Recreation to
adopt a new Section 20-10 prohibiting fires and grills in Village parks and recreation areas
in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

DATE: November 18, 2021
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Approving an increase in the purchase order issued to Hy-Byrd
Incorporated for building inspection services by $20,425 (for a total amount of $45,425)
The Community Development Department has had vacancies for inspector positions for the past few
years. Due to difficulties with finding qualified inspectors, the Village has utilized a variety of firms to
provide contract building inspection services.
During Fiscal Year 2020, the Village solicited quotes for building inspection services from four firms, and
Hy-Byrd Incorporated provided the lowest quote of $65.00 per hour. The Village subsequently issued a
purchase order to Hy-Byrd in the amount of $25,000 for Fiscal Year 2020. This amount was carried over
into the Fiscal Year 2021 budget and the services provided by Hy-Byrd during Fiscal Year 2021 exceeded
the amount of the purchase order by $20,425. Because the total amount paid to this vendor for the prior
fiscal year exceeds $25,000, the Village’s purchasing policies and procedures require Village Council
approval to pay the vendor for services already performed. The additional cost will be offset by salary
and benefit savings from the vacant positions.
The attached Resolution has been prepared and/or reviewed for legal sufficiency by the Village Attorney

VILLAGE MANAGER’S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council
FROM: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
DATE: November 18, 2021
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Amendment to the FY2021-2022 Comprehensive Pay Plan to Include
an Additional Part-Time Functional Manager Position
Village staff is recommending Village Council’s adoption of a resolution amending the FY2021-2022
Comprehensive Pay Plan by adding a part-time Functional Manager position. The primary purpose of
the added position is to assist the Village Manager and Director of Public Works with the evaluation of
options related to the Public Works facility.
Background:
As the Village Council is aware, the existing Public Works facility does not adeq uately serve the needs
of the Department. There are several challenges related to the existing site:
The size of the lot does not adequately serve the needs of the Department. The Village has been
able to make the site work by leasing spaces for parking for staff at the Unitarian Church for a
nominal cost of $5,700/year. However, the site creates some inefficiencies due to the limited size
and the amount of equipment that is needed to serve the Village.
Infrastructure on site is beginning to fail. For instance, capital investments on site will be needed
for the wash plant and stormwater drainage as flooding and quality of discharged water are issues.
The facility is immediately adjacent to residential uses on its north and west property lines.
Because of the size of the lot, the only location to park equipment – namely sanitation vehicles –
is along the property lines.
Because of these issues, the Village has to explore whether to relocate the facility or to improve the
existing site. Having more space for the facility would be optimal, but the market may prove to make
relocating difficult from a cost-benefit perspective. The relocation of Public Works, however, would create
an opportunity for the Department of Community Development (Building, Code Co mpliance and
Planning) to have a permanent location as well. Currently, office space for the Community Development
Department is being rented at The Shops at Village Square. Not only does the Village have the ongoing
rental expense for this space, it isn’t organized effectively for the Department’s purposes.
There are property options available that are all unique in terms of the improvements required.
Coordination of these efforts will be time consuming, and existing staffing capacity is unable to adequately
address them.
Part-Time Position:
As staff has begun working on implementation of the Capital Improvement Plan, it is becoming clear that
the Village doesn’t have the capacity to coordinate the scope of work necessary to initiate planning for
the future Public Works facility, whether it is on the existing site or another site. Staff is proposing to
reinstate the Part-Time Functional Manager position to assist with this analysis. The position was housed
in the Parks and Recreation Department last fiscal year, but was eliminated as part of the financial plan
for FY2022.
The overall budget does not need to be increased to accommodate this position due to availability of
anticipated salary savings and available contingencies. It is anticipated that the cost of this work will be
about $20,000 in dedicated staff time this year.
Staff’s intent is to re-employ Russ Ruskay, who recently served as the Village’s Director of Park and
Recreation and Functional Manager in Parks and Recreation. Mr. Ruskay has experience with all facets
of the analysis that must be completed for the Public Works facility. He was involved in a number of
facility needs assessment and construction projects and coordinated environmental analysis and property
acquisition activities in his roles as Director of Parks and Recreation and Business Development Director
in Jupiter.
Although Mr. Ruskay was hired by the Village following a team interview process, it is important to note
that the Village Manager and Mr. Ruskay worked together in the Town of Jupiter and continue to maintain
a personal friendship.
The attached Resolution has been prepared by the Village Attorney.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval of the attached resolution amending
the FY2022 Comprehensive Pay Plan by adding a part-time Functional Manager position.

Ms. Plunkett presented the application for a Major Planned Development Amendment for the Old Port Cove
Marina CPUD. Specifically, the Applicant seeks amend Ordinance Number 2011-20 to increase the permissible
outdoor seating area to allow for 30 seats. The applicant is proposing the addition of two Podocarpus hedges,
one between the columns of the raised seating area and the other to screen existing equipment. The applicant is
also requesting to modify a condition of approval to allow utilization of the outdoor seating area up to 9:00 PM
each night. This will allow the kitchen to remain open until 8:30 PM, whereas by closing at 8:00 PM, the kitchen
would have to shut down at 7:30 PM, which is prime dinner service hour.
The applicant has withdrawn the request for an outside vendor and removed the 680 square foot “retail café” from
the restaurant building, based on feedback from their last presentation.

caused an issue with the elevator, which ceased working but was repaired within five
days.
The Obert Room’s doors were regrouted at the base to correct a trip hazard.
Two new desks were ordered to replace old ones, but were received with incorrect
tops. The vendor was notified and the Library is currently awaiting delivery of the
correct tops.
Carpet samples and quotes are being received, for replacement during the air handler
installation timeframe.
Staff member Ylana Luigi has resigned, and a library clerk position remains open.

The Books & Bites event at the Country Club went well, with 37 attendees. The
only issue was parking, which is hoped to be corrected for the next event.
The Historical Society of the Palm Beaches has emailed the Library about hosting
a “Postcards from Palm Beach” exhibit in the near future.
Holiday events are in the planning process, and will include the annual trolley tour
and visits with Santa.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney
DATE: November 18, 2021
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Adoption of quasi-judicial procedures
Through the adoption of Resolution No. 32-95 on July 27, 1995, the Village Council adopted a procedure
for the disclosure of ex-parte communication for quasi-judicial proceedings to remove the presumption of
prejudice associated with such communications. However, the Village Council never adopted formal
procedures for quasi-judicial proceedings.
Quasi-judicial decisions must be based on competent, substantial evidence presented during the course
of the public hearing before the decision-making body, and the parties to such a proceeding are entitled
to procedural due process. While formal procedures are not legally required, based on the revisions and
updates to the Village’s Commercial Zoning Code, Village Staff anticipates an increase in both the total
number of quasi-judicial proceedings and the number of proceedings before the Village Council.
The attached Resolution provides formal procedures for quasi-judicial proceedings before both the
Village Council and the Planning Commission. These procedures may be waived by the Village for
applications seeking only appearance review and approval, such as sign face approvals or changes and
color approvals or changes, or applications that are essentially ministerial in nature, such as plat
approvals.
A proceeding is quasi-judicial in nature when it involves the application of a general rule or policy to
specific individuals, interests or activities. The quasi-judicial body is required to hold hearings, weigh and
consider evidence, and exercise discretion of a judicial nature. Quasi-judicial matters include, but are
not necessarily limited to, the following applications:
Site-specific rezoning of real property
Site plan and appearance approval
Special exception uses
Planned Unit Developments
Variances;
Administrative appeals; and
Plats.
If the quasi-judicial matter involves more than one reading, such as an Ordinance approving a Planned
Unit Development, the first reading shall constitute the quasi-judicial proceeding. On second reading,
the Village Council may ratify the its prior decision or re-open the hearing.
The proposed procedures also provide a procedure for participation by interested persons. An interested
person is defined as a person or corporate entity that owns property or operates a business within 500
feet of the property that is the subject of the application or a person who resides within 500 feet of the
property. The 500 feet is consistent with the Village’s noticing requirements for development applications.
By law, interested persons are entitled to participate in the hearing and be afforded an opportunity to be
heard in the same manner as party to the proceedings. Interested persons may be afforded party status
by filing a notice with the Community Development Department no later than the close of business five
(5) days before the hearing. Staff will verify that the interested person satisfies the requirements for party
status.
The procedures for quasi-judicial proceedings before the Village Council and Planning Commission shall
be as follows:
Introduction of the matter (and reading of the caption if appropriate)
Swearing in of all persons who wish to speak, including parties, representatives, and members
of the public
Presentation of evidence by the Applicant, Staff and any interested person (limited to 20
minutes each)
Rebuttal by the Applicant, Staff and any interested person (limited to 5 minutes each)
Public Comment (limited to 3 minutes each)
Questions by the Village Council or Planning Commission to any party, witness or person
providing comment.
Closing argument by any interested person, Staff, and the Applicant.
Once the public hearing is closed, the presiding officer shall entertain a motion. The Council or Planning
Commission may re-open the public hearing during its deliberations if it so chooses.
All relevant evidence shall be admitted. While the formal rules of evidence do not apply, the proceedings
shall be governed by fundamental due process (a fair opportunity to be heard).
At the conclusion of the hearing, the quasi-judicial body shall issue a written determination (in the form
of an Ordinance, Resolution or Order). The procedures do not provide for rehearing or reconsideration
of a quasi-judicial decision, and the final determination is subject only to judicial review in a court of
competent jurisdiction within thirty (30) days of the rendition of the written determination.
There is no fiscal impact.
The attached Resolution has been prepared by this office and reviewed for legal sufficiency.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution adopting
procedures for quasi-judicial proceedings before the Village Council and Planning Commission.

A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO QUASI-

WHEREAS, quasi-judicial decisions must be based on competent substantial evidence presented during
a course of the public hearing before the decision-making body, and the parties to such a proceeding are
entitled to procedural due process; and

judicial proceedings and the number of proceedings before the Village Council; and

Village Council and the Planning Commission and determines that the adoption of this Resolution is in
the best interests of the residents and citizens of the Village of North Palm Beach.

QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Intent
These procedures are intended to provide an equitable and efficient method for the Village Council
and the Planning Commission to hear matters that are considered quasi-judicial in nature. These procedures
shall apply to all quasi-judicial matters, except as otherwise set forth herein.
Definitions
For the purpose of these procedures, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly
indicates or requires a different meaning:
Interested person means any person, natural or corporate, who owns property, owns a business or
resides within five hundred (500) feet of the property that is the subject of the application.
Applicant means any person, corporation or other legal entity who files an application with the
Community Development Department determined by Village Staff to be quasi-judicial in nature.
Party or parties means the Applicant, the Village, and any Interested Person who has complied
with the notice provisions set forth below and meets the applicable criteria.
Quasi-judicial body means the Village Council or the Planning Commission acting in its quasi-
judicial capacity.
Quasi-judicial in nature means the application of a general rule or policy to specific individuals,
interests, or activities by the quasi-judicial body, as more specifically set forth below.
Quasi-judicial matters
(a) Matters that are quasi-judicial in nature involve the actions of public officials who are
required to investigate facts, or ascertain the existence of facts, hold hearings, weigh evidence and draw
conclusions from such facts, as a basis for their official action, and to exercise discretion of a judicial nature
and any other decision involving the implementation, rather than formation, of Village policy. Quasi-
judicial matters include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the following:
(1) Applications for the site-specific rezoning of real property;
(2) Applications for site plan and appearance approval;
(3) Applications for special exception uses;
(4) Applications for Planned Unit Developments;
(5) Applications for variances;
(6) Administrative appeals; and
(7) Applications for plat approval
(b) For all quasi-judicial matters which require more than one reading, the first reading shall
constitute the quasi-judicial proceeding. Once a decision is rendered to grant or grant with conditions the
relief sought by the applicant, then the second reading shall be procedural in nature with the Village Council
ratifying and affirming its prior decision. If new evidence is introduced which, if brought to the attention
of the Village Council at the first reading, would have had a material impact on its decision, the Village
Council may reopen the quasi-judicial hearing.
Page 2 of 4
(c) The formal procedures set forth herein may be waived by the Village for applications
seeking only appearance review and approval, such as sign face and color changes, or applications that are

Interested Person's name, address, e-mail address (if applicable) and telephone number, and indicate how
the person qualifies as an Interested Person for the proceeding at issue. The filing of notice with the
Community Development Department shall serve as notice of the Interested Person's request to appear at
the applicable quasi-judicial proceeding to testify, present evidence, bring forth witnesses, and cross-
examine witnesses. The required notice must be received by the Community Development Department no
later than the close of business (5:00 p.m.) five (5) business days prior to the hearing. The Department shall
verify that the person seeking designation as an Interested Person satisfies the requirements for such status
and shall provide written confirmation.
(c) The written confirmation from the Community Development Department in subsection (b)
above shall serve as the notice for the Interested Person to appear at the quasi-judicial proceeding, where

with the Community Development Department prior to the hearing stating that the person
appearing has the full power and authority to act on behalf of the party in the matter.
(3) Business representative. A corporation or limited liability company may appear through a
representative who is listed with the Florida Department of State as a current officer or
manager of an active corporation or limited liability company entity. The representative
must identify himself/herself in that business capacity.
(c) Evidence.
(1) All relevant evidence shall be admitted. The quasi-judicial body may exclude irrelevant,
immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence.

Code shall apply, but fundamental due process shall be observed and shall govern said
proceedings at all times.
Page 4 of 4
(d) Orders.
(1) If the quasi-judicial body denies relief to the Applicant, the village shall issue a subsequent
written order setting forth the reasons therefor.

proper relief, and this authority shall include the authority to grant continuances to a date
certain.

evidence, and documents submitted into evidence at the hearing. This shall include all back up
documentation, as well as any document presented at the hearing or demonstrative exhibit seen by the
Village Council or Planning Commission while making its decision. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
prohibit any party from providing a court reporter for the proceedings. Any party wishing to appeal the
decision of a quasi-judicial body shall have the responsibility to ensure compliance with F.S. §286.0105.
(f) Rehearing/Reconsideration and Appeal. While there is no specific rule or statutory
authority for the rehearing or reconsideration of a quasi-judicial decision, a local government body or board
has the inherent power and authority to rehear and reconsider a previously entered order. Notwithstanding
this inherent power and authority, the Village determines that neither the Village Council nor the Planning
Commission shall entertain any request for rehearing or reconsideration of a previously entered quasi -
judicial order. A final determination of the Village Council or Planning Commission acting in its quasi-
judicial capacity is subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction within thirty (30) days of
the Council or Commission’s rendition of its written determination.

VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney
Jeremy Hubsch, Community Development Director
DATE: November 18, 2021
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Disclaiming Village’s interest in a drainage easement in favor of Palm
Beach County located on a vacant parcel of real property on the west side of Prosperity
Farms Road and south of Allamanda Drive
The Village received a request from Prosperity Village, LLC, the owner of four parcels of property located
on the west side of Prosperity Farms Road south of Allamanda Drive, to disclaim the Village’s interest in
a Drainage Easement located on one of the vacant parcels. The site is the location of the proposed
Prosperity Village PUD.
One of the parcels is encumbered by a fifty-foot (50’) wide Drainage Easement running parallel to
Prosperity Farms Road (copies of the easement and the survey are included in the back up materials).
The easement runs in favor of Palm Beach County, which owns the roadway. It is believed that this
easement historically ran along the entire western border of Prosperity Farms Road; however, all other
portions of the easement have already been abandoned. The easement is not utilized by the Village or
any other utility provider, and the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District has already
indicated that it has no objection to abandonment of the easement.
The property owner has filed a formal request with Palm Beach County to abandon the easement.
However, Palm Beach County’s abandonment procedures require that if the easement is located within
the corporate limits of a municipality, the municipality must first disclaim any interest in the easement by
Resolution prior to formal abandonment by the County. The attached Resolution disclaims any interest
the Village may have in the Drainage Easement.
There is no fiscal impact.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution disclaiming
the Village’s interest in a Drainage Easement in favor of Palm Beach County located on a vacant
parcel of real property on the west side of Prosperity Farms Road south of Allamanda Drive within
the Village’s corporate limits.

Farms Road south of Allamanda Drive, as depicted on a Survey prepared by Lidberg Land Surveying, Inc.
dated April 10, 2021 (“Property”), a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, Parcel 2, as depicted on the Survey, is encumbered by a fifty-foot-wide Drainage Easement in
favor of Palm Beach County as recorded in Official Record Book 6136, Page 315 of the Public Records of
Palm Beach County, Florida; and
WHEREAS, the Owner is seeking abandonment of the Drainage Easement, and Palm Beach County’s
easement abandonment procedures require that where the easement is located within the corporate limits of
a municipality, the municipality shall first disclaim its interest in the easement by resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council wishes to abandon and disclaim the Village’s interest, if any, in the
Drainage Easement located on the Property within the Village’s corporate limits.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA as follows:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are ratified as true and incorporated herein.
Section 2. The Village Council hereby releases, vacates, abandons, discontinues, renounces and
disclaims all rights of the Village in the fifty-foot-wide Drainage Easement encumbering Parcel 2 as
depicted on the Survey attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Section 3. All resolutions and parts of resolutions in conflict with this Resolution are hereby repealed
to the extent of such conflict.

RE: Request for Resolution Disclaiming Interest, if any, in 50’ Drainage Easement
Mr. Hubsch:
On behalf of the property owner, Prosperity Village Development, LLC, we request f or the Village of N orth
Palm Beach to disclaim any interest of a 50’ drainage easement held in interest by Palm Beach County. A
copy of the easement instrument is enclosed herein. This drainage easement is not used by the Village,
nor is it used by any other local or state governmental entity. This easement lies solely within the four
corners of the owner’s property and serves no utility to any other adjacent property owner. A survey of
the easement property is enclosed herein. Upon information and belief, this easement historically ran
north to south along the western edge of Prosperity Farms Road and that all other sections of this historic
easement have since been abandoned. It should be further noted that the North Palm Beach County
Improvement District discussed the easement abandonment during their May 26, 2021 meeting and
approved the issuance of the enclosed No Objection letter. Therefore, the property owner respectfully
requests the Village Council to consider a resolution wherein the Village disclaims any interest it may have
in the easement.
Very truly yours,
