Update & Discussion RE: Annexation -Mayor Koch Mayor Koch reminded that the County Commission is encouraging the elimination of unincorporated "pockets" through annexation by adjacent municipalities. He further reminded that the residents of Gulf Stream have, in the past, been opposed to such annexation by Gulf Stream. It was feared that, inasmuch as Gulf Stream is primarily made up of single family homes, the character of the Town would be changed by adding so many multiple family units. The Mayor expressed the concern, and the concern of other residents, that this property north of Gulf Stream could be rezoned to allow higher densities and much taller buildings. He advised that several of the existing developments had signed agreements with the City of Boynton Beach that they would not oppose being annexed by Boynton Beach in the future and that this was agreed to in order to receive utilities from the City. Mayor Koch reported that he had met with the Mayor of Boynton Beach and suggested that Boynton Beach and Gulf Stream enter into an Interlocal Agreement stating that this area would not be rezoned to permit higher densities and /or taller buildings, but would remain as it is now zoned. Mayor Taylor was receptive to this and proposed that the Town Managers meet to explore the provisions of such agreement. Commissioner Devitt did not believed that this would be in the best interest of Gulf Stream residents in that if the Boynton Beach Commission changes, the Interlocal Agreement could be revoked. The Commissioner felt it would be desirable to have a straight, clear cut municipal boundary and he didn't feel that there has been enough current, updated information to decide that the annexation of this property by Gulf Stream would not be in the best interest of the Town. However, he added that it appears too late to consider it since several agreements between Boynton and property owners in the area have been executed. Mayor Koch and the rest of the Commissioners agreed that the Interlocal Agreement with Boynton Beach would be beneficial to the Town. He added that there have been intensive studies about annexation in the past and this agreement would be favorable for the Town. Attorney Randolph advised that the agreement should be as binding as possible so future Commissions of Boynton Beach could not easily change the agreement. Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Lynch seconded to approve entering into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Boynton Beach Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Page 4 Town Commission May 14, 2004 which would state that the current zoning of this area would not be changed, that the Agreement be as binding as possible, that Mr. Thrasher meet with the Boynton Beach City Manager and details be worked out with the town attorney. Roll Call: Comm. Devitt; NAY, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE Comm. Orthwein; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. Mayor Koch reminded that Anne Gibb, the Headmistress at the Gulf Stream School would be retiring at the end of the school year. The Mayor C) requested that a Proclamation be prepared making May 218t, Anne Gibb Day in Gulf Stream. There were no objections. Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded that a Proclamation making May 210t, Anne Gibb Day be prepared and executed. Roll Call: Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE Comm. Orthwein; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. Mayor Koch reminded that it is almost hurricane season and a meeting should be scheduled with those who would be involved during an emergency. Town Manager Thrasher stated that he is in the process arranging a hurricane meeting, which would include the Mayor, Chief Ward, representatives from the Gulf Stream School, the Gulf Stream Golf Club, the Little Club and the Gulf Stream Homeowners Improvement Association. Commissioner Devitt commented that the streetlight at Lakeview Drive and Gulf Stream Road does not match the approved streetlights on Middle Road. Town Manager Thrasher stated that the streetlight at Lakeview Drive and Gulf Stream Road were ordered to match the approved ones on Middle Road and this will be corrected. IX. Public. Mr. Kent, a town resident commented that it would be nice if all streetlights were to be changed to match the ones on Middle Road. X. Adjournment.
