The meeting was called to order by Chairman Mayer at 9:10 A.M.
Mr. Gordon Ripma appeared before the Board regarding plans for a
development he is interested in constructing. He inquired about the
number of units and construction of the number of pools allowed for
the buildingsp which would be on the Staley property.
He was advised to submit plans for the same.
Mr. Ripma spoke about plans for remodeling at 4225 County Road, and
construction of a pool. Mr. Rubsamen made suggestions as to an
additional room. He was advised that he would have to have a
variance for the pool. He was instructed to check with the County
Building Department regarding a wall around the property.

that a variance is needed for the screened -in pool. Also, drainage
plans must be presented, per Town Ordinance, to the Palm Beach County

Mayor Koch called the Joint Town Commission and Planning Board Meeting to
order at 9:05 A.M. for the purpose of reviewing the proposals submitted
by the Consultants and the Planning Board. The time frame was discussed,
and by way of explanation he stated that a Public Notice is necessary
before the first and second reading, so that it could take between 45 and
60 days, and under the present ofdinance, after it is presented on first
and second reading, it does not take effect until 90 days thereafter. Also,
during the 90 day period, if three or more registered property owners state
any objections, the Commission would be forced to have a referendum.
Commissioner Dixson suggested that an overview report be given by Mr. Caputo,
of Executive Management Co., and Town Attorney Randolph, and then revert to
the comprehensive zoning ordinance, and deal with it on a page by page basis,
and offer whatever suggestions or revisions seem in order.
Mr. Gene Caputo of Executive Management Co. stated that this was a document
passed as the result of several meetings of the Planning Board -- a ccoposite
of their review and recommendations of the issues that came up in the current
ordinance. It is an ordinance containing sections that are not in the present
ordinance and that update it to today's standards. He stated that there are
some basic flaws that must be discussed, which relate to the multiple family
density issue.
There was discussion about the definitions, and Mr. Caputo stated that many
of the definitions came from the current ordinance and many from a standard
zoning language glossary. Commissioner Dixson stated that the more precise
and explanatory the definitions are, the less basis there will be for
challenging a particular section of the ordinance which is using language
that has not been defined in a definitive section.

K: COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW
I was unable to attend our December 6, 1982 meeting. However, I have the
following questions regarding the proposed Ordinances.
Page 24, Section M. Walls, Fences and Hedges
I believe the height of hedges on the front, rear
and side yards should be changed. The front hedge
height must be higher than 3 feet and the rear and
side height should exceed 6 and 7 feet respectively.
The new Ordinance would make most hedges non-con-
forming, !.e,
Page 24, Section N. Additional Provisions
An additional sentence should be added to Sub -
Section 1, requiring any replacements to the
school should be required to go before the Zoning
Board and the Commission for approval as to the
size, design, etc.
Page 27, Section K. _Building Site Area
In Sub- Section 4, I believe the minimum floor area
requirement for apartments should be increased.
Page 34, Section H. Residential Outdoor Recreation Facility Regulations
In SulrSection D, pools that are next to a canal
or intracoastal waterway should have a smaller set-
back requirement.
Page 34, Section H. Residential Outdoor Recreation Facility R_�ilations
In Sub Section F, I do not believe all pools must
be enclosed by a fence.
Page 36, Section K. Landscape Requirements
In Sub - Section 1 and 2, here again the hedge and
fence heights are too low. My reasons have been
expressed above. In Sub - Section 3, the require-
ment that the new trees should be 8 -10 feet at
planting is too restrictive and 6 -8 feet would be
more appropriate. In Sub - Section 9, I believe that
the requirement that existing trees shall be con-
served and integrated into the landscaping design
plan should be clarified.
In general, I believe that much more attention and discussion should be
given to the Landscape Requirements. I do not believe that the proposed
Ordinance reflects the character of the community and would be detrimental
to the future appearance of the Town..
