Town Manager Harrington explained an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
adds legal standing to the regulations in the zoning code even though he
felt the code was most likely to be able to stand alone. He noted that
the language in the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan that is proposed
is more general than that in the code as it is intended to be a blue-
print -.for-- what the Town will be in the future. He further noted
that there are no provisions to permit the granting of variances to any
of the provisions in the Comprehensive Plan so it is important to be sure
that what goes into the Plan is what the Town wants.

Regular Meeting & Public Hearing -January 25, 1995
The members of the ARPB were pleased with the proposed amendment and Mr.
Lynch moved that it be recommended to the Local Planning Agency that
the proposed amendment as listed herein be approved for the existing
Comprehensive Plan. The motion was seconded by Mr. Souder. Roll Call:
Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Hopkins; AYE, and
Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
VI. Items by Staff.
A. Construction in Progress Report for December, 1994.
There were no comments regarding this report.
VII. Items by Board Members. Mr. Lynch advised that he had been made
aware of the fact that insurance companies were now requiring that a
fence be constructed around swimming pools before coverage can be
written. He further advised that the minimum height they require is 4'
but that the current Town Code, and Palm Beach County Code, requires a
minimum of 51. He questioned if the Town might want to lower that to 4'
as the 1' foot difference does have an impact on the appearance. Town
Manager Harrington advised that neither the Town or the County requires
anyone to retrofit, only to conform with regard to new construction. In
view of that, if there is an existing pool that is not fenced and a
fence is added, there is no minimum requirement as to the height it must
meet, he said. Mr. Lynch felt this would address the matter adequately.
VIII. Public. There was no comment from the public.
IX. Adjourment. Chairman Orthwein adjourned the meeting at 9:35 A.M.
