No August Meeting D. Up -date Re: Proposed construction south of Place Au Soleil-Chet Snavely, HOA Pres. Mr. Snavely reported that the Gunther Volvo Dealership is planning to construct a 3 story open parking garage for 600 vehicles next to the south border of Place Au Soleil which would greatly impact the quality of life in several ways for those residents in Place Au `(` ) Soleil. He explained Meetings had been held, some of which included some of the Gulf Stream officials, and there had been some correspondence with Delray Beach officials. He then detailed some of the suggestions Place Au Soleil had made toward lessening the impact of the development. Mr. Snavely asked that the Town join with the Place Au Soleil HOA in opposing this development by writing a letter to Delray Beach that would be signed by all Commissioners, and that Mayor Morgan meet with Mayor Glickstein of Delray Beach to stress the need for Inter -Governmental Cooperation in looking at this development plan. Commissioner Orthwein moved to have Mayor Morgan write a letter to Delray Beach supporting the Place Au Soleil position in this matter and further to authorize Mayor Morgan to meet with officials of Delray Beach and representatives of Place Au Soleil to arrive at a solution that can be brought to the Commission for action. In answer to a question from OCommissioner White, Mr. Snavely reported that there is sufficient land to accommodate a relocation of the proposed building away from the proposed location next to Place Au Soleil. Town Manager Thrasher believed that there are 3 points on which to place emphasis, those being quality of life, reduction of the tax base, and Delray code compliance as it relates to the Place Au Soleil residents. He believed the other things that have been mentioned, drainage as an example, can be designed Oto meet code compliance°to the point that Delray could not refuse to permit the project. He urged strong support for Place Au Soleil in the E Town Commission Regular Meeting s Public Hearing February 10, 2017 @ 9 A.M. Orelocation of the proposed building, emphasizing it is up to Gunther Volvo to choose an acceptable location that could be approved. Chris O'Hare suggested that perhaps an Interlocal Agreement addressing mutual cooperation with Delray Beach should be considered since there are other areas where the towns share a boundary line that could be an O area of concern in the future. Mr. Marinez reminded that some of the same problems were met when the Walmart was being planned and Delray will need to consider what impact this proposal will have on their town as well.
