• This area includes John D. MacArthur Beach State Park and the
barrier island. Development in this area is restricted to the
Park, as described in the Master Plan, including a nature center,
picnic areas, ranger station and caretakers' residences.
infrastructure improvements include utilities, roadways and
boardwalks.

•
Since all of the developed urban land uses within the Village
lie well outside of the coastal building zone, post disaster
redevelopment would occur without regard to coastal construction
controls in much the same manner that non-coastal communities
would redevelop.
A 2.67 mile stretch of Atlantic Ocean beach, which includes
1.5 miles within John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is referred
to as "Reach 3C" by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE).
This area has been identified as a candidate for renourishment.
A preliminary assessment estimates that 422,000 cubic yards
of initial fill material is necessary to add an additional SO
feet of beach width. Offshore borrow areas will be used for
the proposed renourishment program.
The State Park includes a 1,700 foot elevated boardwalk that
connects the Visitor Center to~the beach. Pedestrian access
to the beach is provided by several controlled beach access
points from a trail 'located behind the dune.

There are no public water wells within the Village limits;
however, the portion of the Village located south of the Earman
River is located in the least restrictive wellfield protection
zone ("tone 9"), as designated by the Palm Beach County
Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). Only
non-residential uses which store, handle or produce any regulated
substance (unless they qualify as a general exemption or receive
an operating permit) are prohibited.
There are no Areas of Critical State Concern within the Village
limits.
M. Social And Economic Effects Of Any Major Problems,
• Including A Description Of The Effects.
The only identified problem having negative social or economic
effects is the deterioration of the Twin City Mall. At one
time, the Mall was the center of retail activity in the vicinity;
however, since its demise, the U.S. Highway No. 1 and Northlake
Boulevard commercial corridors have stagnated as well. A key
to the rejuvenation of commercial activity in the Village is
the renovation and/or redevelopment of the Mall.

E. COASTAL MANAGEMENT
• GOAL; Protect, conserve and enhance coastal resources while
providing for water-dependent land uses in a manner consistent
with the general health, safety and welfare of Village residents
and visitors.
AMENDMENT: The Coastal Management Element has been amended
once (Amendment 90-1) since the initial plan was completed.
A discussion of the amendment is presented in SECTION IV.
STATUS OF THE ELEMENT: There are seven objectives, supported
by 20 policies in this Element, as amended.
CHANGES IN CONDITION: The Coastal Management Element was
amended once since the adoption of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan
to address the FDCA Stipulated Settlement Agreement.
~k~ee-.Four issues, regarding changes in condition, need to be
discussed:
~. Master Drainage Studv: The 1989 Com rehensive Plan
called for the completion of a Master Drainage Stu y y Fisca
Year 1992. The purpose of the Study was twofold: (1) To verify
interim drainage level-of-service standards or establish
• alternative standards; and (2) address the issue of
implementing stormwater quality Best Management Practices (BMPS),
provided that upstream pollutant loads in the C-17 Canal basin
are established by the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD).
The Village has deferred work on the Master Drainage Study
pending receipt of conditions and requirements of the NPDES
permit program, as well as completion of the SWIM program for
the Intracoastal Waterway watershed and the quantification
of pollutant loading reductions, per the State Water Policy,
by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
2. Lake Worth Environmental Studies: Several policies
in the _1989 Comprehensive Plan were depen ent upon the completion
of the -Lake Worth environmental studies, including related
management and controls strategies. Two studies have been
completed; however, each was essentially an inventory, as opposed
to proposing management solutions to defined environmental
problems. Inventory data should be incorporated into the updated
Village Support Documentation for the E.A.R. based amendments.
The only management recommendation pertinent to the Village
generated by the environmental studies was the restoration
project recommended for Big Munyon island (Planning Area 1).
This program, consisting of spoil removal, improvement of tidal
• channels, exotic vegetation removal, mangrove planting and
VZII-42 Rev.• 12/96
•
•
construction of a boardwalk, is currently being implemented.
3. John D. MacArthur Beach Master Plan: Most of the
environmental policies in the 1989 Comprehensive Plan, as they
relate to Planning Area 1, are being implemented by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) through the
completion of the Master Plan. An updated status, as well as
a summary of future improvements and programs should be included
in the E.A.R, based Com rehensive Plan amendments. Further,
land development regu ations an development activities in
Planning Area 1 should be coordinated with the Master plan.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the objectives and policies
of the Coastal Management Element fs presented in the attached
matrix. The' evaluation presented in the matrix is oriented
to determining whether or not objectives and/or policies were
achieved.
MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT: No major problems of development
are identified; however, additional environmental programs will
require the assistance of other governmental agencies, as
discussed above. Most actions cited in the 1989 Comprehensive
Plari, over which the Village has complete control, have been
implemented.
UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES: The NPDES permit program
may have provided the impetus for addressing, in a comprehensive
manner, the stormwater management and pollution control issue.
However, due to the technical requirements of adequately
addressing these issues, it may require a number of years, or
longer, to develop and implement an adequate management system.
Further, related costs have not begun to be addressed at this
point. Although it may take a long time to adequately address
• these issues, the coordination of the NPDES program with those
VIII-43 Rev.• 12/96
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ADOPTED PLAN: The Coastal Management
Element, as amended, has been generally effective in terms
of guiding Village actions. However, to be completely effective,
the Village has to rely upon the programs of other levels of
government (e.g. SFWMD and FDEP) either for direction and/or
management assistance.
• o,f the SFWMD and FDEP appears to
success.
present opportunities for
The Lake Worth environmental studies provided the basis for
implementing the environmental restoration program for Big Munyon
Island.
CONSISTENCY WITH CHANGES TO THE STATE AND REGIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
The Coastal Management Element is generally consistent with
and furthers the State Comprehensive Plan. No inconsistencies
are identified.
The Coastal Management Element is concluded to remain consistent
with the Regional Policy Plan, as revised by the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council in 1995.
