He stated that they had a meeting on October 50 and the Board unani-
mously supports the Council in the action on the first reading of the
Ordinance for Pa!roland Development Co~p. He further stated that they
feet they have learned that people are the c~iteria for establishing
value in this world. We have been privileged with the opportunity to
come snd live in this area. We were allowed the p~ivilege of becoming
part of this City of Boynton Beach. We recognize the need of E~intain-
ing a broad tax base for the City's development. The Board also went
on record as opposing the Proposed County Land Use Plan.
M~s. V. Caste/lo stared that she is for annexation, and has nothing
against Pa3untand Development Corporation. Her objection to this annexa-
tion is the Zoning O~dinance. The Zoning Ordinance does not have P.U.D.
and does not have site plan approval. She asked M~. Moore i~ this is
correct. She further stated that she is for ar~exation, at better
terms.
Mr. Blanchette asked what kind of terms.
Mrs. Castello answered site plan approval and P.U.D.
Mr. Blanchette stated that we are moving toward site plan approval.
Mayor Effron stated that PaLmland has said they will live under the
site plan ordinance. He then Stated that Mrs. Castello is a candidate
for City Counei!~ and would not like to see this become a political
football.
Mrs. Castei!o stated that her being a candidate is irrelevant, and that
she had asked these questions before she became a candidate. She
stated that the City Attorney can tell y~ we don't have site plan
approval.
M~. Moore stated that we do have a site plan committee per se, made up
of the Department heads.
Mrs. Castello stated that it is just a policy.
Mr. Moore stated that we have the Ordinances on the books.
Bob Collier~ a member of the Board of Realtors with Mr. Thompson agreed
with what F~. Thompson had said. He stated that the people in this
City elected five people to this Council and anybody that solicits other
people to sign a petition to circumvent the majority ~3_le of this Coun-
cil is alluding to tactics and he is opposed to it, and he is opposed
to Mrs. Jackson's p~oposal that we adopt the County Land Use Plan. If
we should adopt this ptanwe are turning over the power to the County
to establish the tax base of this City in future. We can do that our-
selves. We have the people who are capable right here in Boynton Beach.

and this was not a finished document. ~. Thempson of Boca Eaton said
there wer~ changes made to it since the last time he saw it~ We are

what to do as ~araS density cor~mols: and eVer~Ything elSe. Thi~ .
Council has tried to ~ooPeratm with the County, referring to additlona!
beach acquisition, and where did it get us?
Mrs. Mary Hartman, 3725 S. Lake Drive, stated that one thing that was
not brought up about this annexation is a human ~actor. k~_o is ~ing
to take c~e of 1all these people when they are s~ck? The uommunm~y
hospital has 178 beds. Perhaps this is not your problems but if you
were sick it is. tf we ~-~ow can we as citizens help our hospital to
9mow? This was her factor .when she asked the people to signthe peti-
tion. She begged Council to take this into consideration.
M~. Archie pointed out that if these people do not get the annexation
from the City of Boynton Beach t~ey are going to build anyway. There
will still be 20~000 people. Wo~ld you rather have the tax dollar~
and control over them: or have no control at all.
She would like to see a hospital before the people come.
BitlKoch~ Chairman of Hospital Board, stated that we build for the
future. We are contemplating taking care of County areas as well as
City. If this develops we will have to take ca~e of it~ and we are
mindful of it.
Mayor Effron stated tt~t tax dollars support the Hospital. With
annexation the County is going to get tax dollars and the City is
going to get tax dollars. The Hospital will get these funds.

built overnight. This is a 10 year program.

with or without us.
Mr. Archie stated that ~rs. Jackson has been opposed to annexation
right from the beginning~ and asked her if she has changed her ~d~nd
since the opinion was received from the Attorney General backing the
City Attomney.
Jackson stated no, she has not changed her mind.
Mr. A~chie then stated that now that we know the City Attorney was
right all along with the way we are annexing and have the evidence
from Attorney General Shevin, M~s. Jackson doesn't mention it any more.
Mayor Effron stated that the delak~ing tactics on St. Andrews Co~poration
annexation cost the City of Boynton Beach $3~ 100 in building permit
fees.

Realtors and businessmen in this City wou!dbe quite happy for 8/qnexa-
tion. The City has g~own 73% in the last t0 years, and 22% in the
State. Any merchant should be happy with the g~owth. There is no
real income from annexation for about 10 years. It was mentioned of the
rights for people to come down here, but the taxpayers of this City
have the right to voice an opin/on. The people have the right to put
this to a referendum: and let them express themselves at the polls.

Travis E. Killgore, City Manager
Mrs. Tereesa Padgett: City Clerk
Gone Moore~ City Attorney
Mayor Effron called the meeting to o~der at 7:~ P. M.
This is a Special Meeting regarding the ~nnexation request by Palm-
land Development Corporation, also known as Cha~ter World. The
Planning & Zoning Board had thei~ Public Hearing at which several
members of Council were present for the presentation. It was later
decided that it would be the best interest to hold a Public Hearing
for the entire community to hear this presentation.
At this time Mayor Effron turned the meeting over to Palmland Cor-
poration for their presentation.
Linton Lovett- Attorney for Charter World, stated that they are here
to consider an ordinance for annexation and zoning of l%square miles
west of the boundary of Boynton Beach. We are here primarily to
answer any questions. For clarification he stated the contemplated
development would be 7:900 dwelling units with a shopping area, a
government area, a motel, a golf course ~th recreation area. We
are ready to begin building. We have commitments. The City will
benefit because if the area we a~e discussing comes within your
City limits you w~ll control whatthe development is going to be.
If you do not annex: it wilt be developed by 8 or 10 different sub-
divisions with different plans with no control by the City Council,
but by the C~nty C~mmission. This ~ives you an opportunity to con-
trol development that is immediately adjacent to you~ City. Another
benefit we are cc~mftting is 20~ acres to the City for e~ection of
a municipal building. A deed has been delivered in escrow to the
City Attorney on this area.
Fir. Lovett also stated they are willing to make available to the
school children the recreation area fo~ planned p~og~ams in physical
education and spo~ts during certain hours of the day. They have de-
livered an agreement to F~. Moore to th~ sffeat. They also plan to
install and cont~ibute tot he City a water and sewer system, and
pointed out the benefits of such.
Irving Kat~ General Manager~ reviewed the exhibits for the honefit
of the audience. The exhibits included a zoning map~ site plan,
renderings showing the various cluster developmen=s, The Ch~z-ter Club,
and Topographic Map.

~ES - SPECIAL City COL51CIL MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARING ON CHAR~ER WORLD ANNEXATION
OCTOBER 24: 1972
Mayor E~f~on pointed out that the original drawings asked for P. U. D.
type project, and they had buildings 50' and higher. Immediately
they were told that the City of Boynton Beach has a 45' height limita-
tion. They then conformed to the 45~ height and other existing codes
and ordinances.
Mr. V. astine questioned Mr. Katz as to what the density would he, ex-
eluding the golf CouZ~e. Mr. Katz Stated about 1t units per acre.
Mr. A~chie than asked Mr. Vastine what the density of Letsurevilte
would be i~ we took out the golf course and Shopping Center. Mr. Vas-
tine did not know.
Mr. Katz 'stated that the~e will be less than 15% land coverage of
buildings ~hich~ from a land plenning point of view~ is e~tremely de-
sirable.
Mrs. Castello asked Mr. Katz if he is aware of what the County is doing
on water and sewe~, and that the County has a moratorium on rezoning.
Mr. Katz stated that he is not interested in the County. He is inter-
ested in Boynton Beach, mainly for sewer and water purposes.
Mayor Effron stated that the dansity of Leisureville, as Mr. Archie
questioned, has been computed as 9 persons per acre.
At this time a z~eess was called so that members of the audience that
wanted to could review the exhibits of Chaz~cer World.
When the meeting ~esumed, Mayor Effron stated that the City Planner and
B%~ilding 0ffieial calculated the density of Leisu~evitle: including
the apaz~ments, exeludimg the golf course, etc., to be 17 units per
aero.
Mr. Vastine pointed out that Leisu~evflle is only two stories high.
Mr. Beyrer asked if we are going to live by this plan that we paid
$37,000 for: or let everyone cc~e in and put their plan into effect
with no consideration for the work of the City Planner?
Mayor Effron read a portion o~ the Candeub, Pleissig report that deals
with the ~ese~ve annexation area. With re~ard to dansity, Candeub,
Fleissig is recom~aending 8 units per ae~e 9~oss density. He then read
some of the density figures of condominiums in the City from subject
report.
Mr. Archie stated that the State has said we~ the City of Boynton Beach~
must provide wat~ and sewer service for our district, this includes
Cha~ter World. We can have zoning control at approximately 9 units per
acre. We can benefit by ad valorem taxes. This is the plus side. We
have yet to hear the minus side.

MINUTES - SPECIAL CITY COth~CIL MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARING ON CHAR~ER WORLD ANNEXATION
OCTOBER 243 1972
Mrs. Castello then stated that there will be zoning control whether
this is annexed or not. A meeting is scheduled by the County on
October 27. She referred to the need for a Green Belt Area.
Mr. Roberts questioned the type of development - since we did not
have a P. U. D. Ordinance. Mr. Katz stated they have a Planned Unit
Development without the O~dinance. The entire
parcel would be zoned
and site plan approval wou~d hav~ to he done on each parcel as they
develop it.
Mr. Roberts stated that the population of the City at the present time
is about 20~ 000 people who live in an area of D~000 to 3,500 aeres o
Here we are going to have 20, 000 people in an area of 760 - 780 acres.
This is hard to conceive.
M~. Archie pointed out that Boynton Beach is still building. We do
not know what the, population will be in 10 years. He did not feel
we could stop growth.
Mr. Roberts felt perhaps a referendum is the best route to take - and
let the people dec~ide.
Mayor Effron stated we are faced with this reserve annexation area out
west of town. We went to the State Legislature and asked this to be
set aside for Boynton Beach reserve annexation area. They don~t want
other munieipali'ties starting out there. These people would use our
facilities and what do we receive-in ~eturn? It is your tax dollars
that repai~ the streets and operate the beach. They use the Library
and the recreation facilities. This land is going to be developed
with or without annexation. Let~s~t the tax base to save you money.
As pointed out in Mr. Killgore's repoz~c on the annexation of Palmland,
it is more than ad valorem taxes. The potential estimated revenue to
Boynton Beach is $t:4/2~864 per year after full development in approxi-
mately 10 years.
The question was raised about schools in the area.
Mayor Effron pointed out that the City has no say as far as schools
are concerned, C]~f Ripley has Stated that the School Board has no
plans for the immediate area.
Mr. EzellHester stated that if this goes along with the City's zoning
now on the books there should not be any problem. The City is not
