Several MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 things of interest include the addition of N.W. 10th Street being paved, interior road right-of-way, the elimination of through lots and the removal of on-site pond area, with water retention to be accomplished in the developable lots. Mr. Annunziato referred to staff comments and read the following comments from Mr. Bill Flushing, Deputy City Engineer as follows: The following right-of-way requirements shall be included in the Master Plan and pre-plat applications: 1. The intersection of the proposed N.W. 10th St. and the existing N.W. 8th Court must have paving with 30-ft. radiuses. Additional right-of-way will be required to provide the 30,ft. radiusl 2. In order to provide a 60-ft. right-of-way for N.W. 10th Street 15 feet must be provided by each abutting property owner. It is there, fore required that the applicant provide 15 feet as opposed to the 10 feet as shown. Platting may have to be adjusted to maintain the minimum 8000 sq. ft. requirement. 3. The planned right-of-way for N.W. 8th Court is 60 feet. This will require 20 feet of additional right-of-way as opposed to 10 feet additional as shown. 4. The Master Plan utility plans should show the existing 16-inch force main in N.W. 10th Street and the 20-inch force main in N.W. 8th Court. Mr. Annunziato continued with the comments from the Utility Department as follows: The following corrections should be made regarding utilities: 1.

Mr. Danny O'Brien, agent representing the owners, appeared before the Board, and stated that they are in agreement to all staff comments. Mr. Johnson asked what entrance Lots ~and 2 would use and Mr. O'Brien indicated N.W. 8th Court. Chairman Thompson asked about the Recreation Fee and if there has been .an appraisal submitted? Mr. Annunziato clarified that it would be submitted when the Preliminary Plat is submitted to the Board. Chairman Thompson suggested that a current appraisal accompany it at that time and this would solve problems and eliminate ~,burden upon the Board and if all developers would do this it w6uld be helpfdl and beneficial to all. MINUTES PLANNNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Mr. Johnson moved to approve this pre-application for Edgewood Heights, subject to staff comments; seconded by Mr. Hester; motion carried 5-0. NEW BUSINESS Public Hearing - Rezoning Request Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Use: Request: Project Name: Las Palmas Venture (Mr. Fernandez, agent) Between N.E. 26th Avenue and N.E. 22nd Avenue and between FEC Failroad & N.E. 4th Street See Exhibit 'A' Planned Residential Community (duplex units 136, apartments 80, total number of units 216) REZONE from C-3 to PUD(Planned Unit Development) with LUI=5.0 Bellamar Villas Mr. Annunziato then explained to the Board that this property is now zoned C-3 and he then explained that the applicant appeared before Council at the last and final meeting of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan requesting the commercial part of this tract be C-3 and Council granted this change which is reflected in the future Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan. The land use ~lement provides for a maximum 10.8 units per acre and the applicant is requesting approximately 7 units per acre for approx- imately 65% of the maximum density. On-site there will be 2 recreation areas with tennis courts and pools located at each. The devel- opment is comprised of 30 acres with a total of 216 units. Mr. Fernandez, agent, then appeared before the Board, Ail roads will be private and will be privately maintained by the condo- minium association, The apartments (80) will be rental apart- ments. The only difference between the duplex units is that the larger ones will have a garage; the smaller ones will have parking outside. They will' be sOld fee-simple. Mr. Fernandez continued, that there will be no e~ondominium apartments, only rental apartments; t~o'-story buildings. The duplexes are condominium and the apartments are rental. No single-family homes. We will provide a decorative barrier by the railroad tracks. Discussion then followed on what type of rentals and the state law pertaining to said. Mr. Fernandez stated tha~ even though it was not required they did do a traffic impact analysis. Trips generated would be 2100 per,~day. Mr. Ryder stated the land use plan of the Comprehensive Plan recommended this change from commercial to residential use and in essence we are following the dic~tes of this plan. e MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Mr. Annunziato stated that this site plan has gone through several changes prior to coming before the Board. Mr. Annunziato then read a memo from the Utility Director, as follows: The water system as drawn is approved, subject to a 10' clearance from any building for lines between buildings with appropriate easements. The sewer system requires two major changes: 1. The lift station shall be located at the northwest corner of the property as originally conceived. 2. The gravity lines must be set so they are all in the street R.O.W. and not cutting across property outside of the R.O.W. The Police Department noted street lights and traffic signs required. The Planning Department noted a requirement to dedicate N.E. 26th Avenue to construct sidewalks on N.E. 4th Street & N.E. 26th Avenue and a bike path on N.E. 22nd Avenue. Recreation Department noted the following: Private recreation facilities to be bonded and based on the subdivision regulations~; the Recreation and Open Space dedication requirement for subject development is: duplexes: 136 units @ .018 acre= 2.448 acres; apartments: 80 units @ .015= 1.200 acres; total 3.648 acres. One half credit for private ~recreation facilities provided reduces the requirement to 1.824 acres. Recommend fee in lieu of land be Provided equivalent to 1.824 acres. Staff recommends that the Master Plan be approved, subject to comments. Mr. Annunziato then read a letter from the School Board of Palm Beach County as follows: The administration will recommend to the Boynton Beach City Council that the petitioneer consider a contribution equivalent to .4 of 1% of the selling price or commensurate value of each residential dwelling unit, on a one time initial sales basis,as a means of assisting the School Board in its attempt to acquire funds with which to alleviate overcrowded school conditions. These funds will be placed in a special capital outlay account to be used in the area impacted by this develop- ment (see attached copy of letter). Mr. Annunziato, then read into the record a letter from the South Florida Water Management District as follows: C~lcutations' indicate that the required finished floor elevations will be 15 feet mean sea level; however when detailed informatiOn be- comes available revision of this elevation may beindic~ted at that time. The applicant mu~obtain a~Surface Water Management Permit from the South Florida Water Management District prior to construction of this proposed project. (see attached copy of letter). Chairman Thompson then asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of this rezoning, to please come forward at this time. No one responded. Chairman Thompson~then asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak against this rezoning, to please come for- ward. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Mr. Ryan of N.E. 3rd Court, appeared before the Board and wanted to know if this is going to be low-cost rentals or housing. Mr. Fernandez answered negatively, that they are aiming more at the middle class range,about $50,000 for a duplex, and that the apartmen~will rent fOr about $250. Chairman Thompson then read into the record a letter from Donald & Eleanor Schmidt, of 81 E. Sylvias Lane, Westport, Mass, owners of property located at 2646 N.E. 4th Court who would like to express their desire to have the property~'~ remain C~3. · _ Mr. Fernandez stated, regarding N.E. 26th A{~enue ,that they w~!_dedi~at~_tha entire _ri~ht~of,wav_dQwn to.~t~eFEC r~h~- of-way but they are only going to build 26th Aven~e to their entrance. Mrs. Bond questiQned the rental portion of the condominium association. How will the people be assessed for their respon- sibility for the commen elements? Mr. Fernandez, stated their impact (they will have their own recreation) is basically only on the roads in the development and drainage. The costs will be broken down to a per-unit basis. They wilt have their own pool and tennis courts. The land will be owned by the condonimium association. The apartments are one section and the rental apartments are another section. Mr. Fernandez clarified his company will retain management of the rentals. Mr. Hester made a motion to approve the rezoning request to PUD, subject to staff comments; seconded by Mrs. Bond; motion carried 5-0. Public Hearin~ - Abandonment Request Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Request: Las Palmas Venture (Mr. Fernandez, agent) The north 12 feet of the alley on the north side of Block 12, Boynton Ridge See Survey and Exhibit 'A' Alley Abandonment Mr. Annunziato then showed on the survey exactly where said alley is and further explained that this 30-ft alley originally separated the commercial lots from the residential tract. Several years ago the south 22-ft of the alley was abandoned but the City did not abandon the n~th 12 feet of the alley. The intent was to keep it as an alley for Florida Power and Light Company. The application before you ~now is to abandon that 12-ft. alley. Mr. Annunziato, then stated the grounds and reasons submitted in support ofathis application: AMI Investments Inc., has e MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 entered into a joint venture known as Las Palmas Venture to develop the abutting property. The alley as shown on Plat Book 24, Page 28 (see Exhibit A) was intended to serve commercial lots which will no longer be there. The proposed development will be all residential and said alley will not be consistent with the proposed master plan and land usage. Mr. Annunziato, then read into the record a memo from the City Engineer: This street and alley have been previously checked out with concerned parties for abandonment. An. F.P.&L. easement of 12-ft. width along the north limits of the 30 ft. alley should be retained. A utility easement of 20-ft. width should also be retained along the east lim~£ts of the 20-ft. alley. The south limits of the 50-ft. street right-of-way sufficient to provide for an 80-ft right-Of-way on N.E. 22nd Avenue should be retained. Except for above provisions we recommend that the street and alley abandonment request be approved. Planning Department noted no objections to the abandonment of the above mentioned alley. Public Works department noted no objections either. Florida Power and Light noted the following: Thank you for your recent letter advising us of a request to abandon the referenced right- of-way. We must object to the request for abandonment unless a utility easement is granted to Florida Power and Light Co., twelve feet in width, permitting continued use. I have enclosed the necessary easement documents ready for execution in the event the petitioner elects to proceed with the abandonment and grant FP&L the easement rights. Staff recommends that this abandonment be approved, subject to granting a 12-ft. easement to Florida Power and Light Co., or by working out an agreement satisfactory to both parties. Chairman Thompson then asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of this abandonment. No reply. Chairman Thompson then asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak against this abandonment. No reply. Mr. Fernandez'reply to FP&L~S~ letter is that they would like to modify the requirement to make it subject to an agreement between the developer and FP&L. Discussion followed. Mr. Annunziato stated that our intent is to make sure FP&L has at least an easement and he thinks FP&L should be protected by an easement. Mr. Ryder moved to approve this abandonment request by Las Palmas Venture, subject to staff comments, and with mutual agreement between the developer and FP&L regarding the 12-ft. easement; seconded by Mrs. bond; motion carried 5-0. Public Hearing - Abandonment Request MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Request: Christian Development of Boynton Beach, Inc (Clyde Worrell, agent) East 30-ft of Parcel E as shown on the_ original PUD plan submitted by Leisureville according to the Plat of the Tenth Section Plat Book 30, Pages 129 thru 141 same as location Roadway easement Mr. Annunziato then explained why it was scratched from the last agenda, due to it being advertised incorrectly. The application has been readvertised and the request is before you now. This is the east 30-ft. of Parcel E, shown on the Tenth section of Leisureville, located at the south of the N.E. corner of the intersection of $.W. 19th Avenue and congress Avenue, lying between Leisureville and Congress Avenue north of and adjacent to Cedarwood Villas Development. Mr. Annunziato then read into the record the following comments: the Building Department noted we have no objection to the easement of this thirty foot road. The Utility Department noted: To clarify my previous memo, dated 10-2-79, we do require a minimum of 10-ft. for easement for sewers across the east end of this property, so that the property to the north of their property and south of Lindsley Lumber can be served by gravity sewers. From Southern Bell the following letter: Please be advised that Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company objects to the above mentioned abandonment unless a 12-ft utility easement is granted along the east side of the parcel to cover our interest. Southern Bell has no facilities in the above mentioned parcel at the present time but plans to place buried cable during December 1979 to serve future expansion of Cedarwood Villas and the tracts H3 and H5 to the north. Florida Power and Light Company noted the following: Please be advised that FP&L will require the east 12-ft of the referenced 30-ft. road for electrical facilities. We have no objections to the abandonment provided the east 12-ft, is dedicated as a utility easement permitting FP&L to co-utilitze this area for the installation of electrical facilities. We would appreciate a copy of the recorded utility easement for our files. Planning Department noted no objections. Staff recommendation is that this abandonment be approved subject to the 12-ft reverting to a utility easement. Mr. Ryder clarified that FP&L, So. Bell and sewers are all to be in this 12-ft. easement. Chairman Thompson then asked if there ~aS~ anyone in the audience who wished to speak against this abandonment request. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Mr. Bob Guterma of 398 West Camino Garden Boulevard, Boca Raton, appeared before the Board stating that he is owner of the property north of the proposed abandonment. When he purchased this property he,bought it thinking he had rear access. Since then he has sold off a major portion of the front of the property on Woolbright Rd.to Sun Bank. He still has frontage on Wool- bright but it is somewhat limited. But the loss of the rear access would severel~ affect the value of the property and quality of the development. Mr. Guterma then submitted into the record a copy of a letter frcmSun Bank protesting this abandonment. Mr. Guterma continued. There is alreadv~a.~30~ift~ e~ement, and ii%s p~poseliS~verv c!~ar ~ha~ it Mr. Hester commented that he hopes we are not getting ourselves in another bind like the Rollyson Property, a land-locked piece of property. They are very similar. Mr. Annunziato clarified that,as of right now,there are no land-locked tracts. ChairmanTDDmpson then read into the record a letter from Sun Bank to Mr. Guterma as follows: It has been brought to my attention that certain parties .are requesting the abandonment of the ease- ment leading into your property from S.'W. 19th Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida, running parallel to a Lake Worth drainage canal. We wish at this time to registero~u~r protest to this action as we feel it will greatly effect the value of this entire commercial complex. It will restrict the flow of traffic to only a north and west access. In turn, this could have a very adverse effect on the quality of tenants that may avail themselves of your carefu!ly~pt~nned commercialcom~lex. Chairman Thompson then asked if there was anyone in. the audience who wished to speak in favor of this abandonment. Mr. Clyde Worrell, 915 Palm Trail, Delray Beach, agent for the applicant appeared before the Board stating this Parcel 'E' was just rezoned from C-3 to R-3 and in our design we saw the conflict of a road way coming from a commercial area-~through our residential.~area into an ~xclusive residential community, which would be ~r~en~l~to the traffic flow in the community. The canal is not now in an attractive state. If the easement was there and the roadway abolished,we would be responsible for landscaping and I believe it would make it a much more attractive area. Mr. Ryder asked Mr. Worrell if he understood that ~he cannot build on the easement area and would have to incorporate the lift station. Mr. Worrell replied yes, he understood and,in- fact, Southern Bell already has some pedestals in there now. Chairman Thompson commen~ed that Mr. Guterma can sell the en- tire parcel as one and that he is reluctant to have a roadway next to~c~a~ becaus~ ~_~_~heob~viou~ safety~h.azard~and~that routing commercial traffic through residential neighborhoods is in direct conflict with our Comprehensive Land Use Plan. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Mr. Ryder made a motion that this Board recommend to Council approval of the abandonment of the east 30-ft of Parcel 'E', submitted by Leisureville,according to the Plat of the Tenth Section,Plat Book 30, Pages 129. thru 141, with the understanding that the applicant will comply with the requirements of the Technical Review Board with reg~d~ to the easement that iS required for ~h~C~y,~S0~rn~'Bell!and FP&L~Seconded ' by Mr. Johnson; motion carried 5-0. At 9:20 P.M. Chairman Thompson called for a 5 minute break. Chairman Thompson then called the meeting back to order at 9:25 P.M. Site Plan Approval Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Project Description: James & Genevieve Rollyson (G. Wasser~, agent) West of 1-95 immediately south of Minor Rd, extended See Survey (acreage) Warehouse/Manufacturing Facility Mr. Annunziato then plotted the location of this development and commented that this application should look familiar to you (appeared before the Board on 6-26-79) and because we have reviewed this at great length and thorough discussions. This request is to construct a 50,000 square feet metal building with an automatic fire sprinkler system. It is intended that this site be accessed by traveling south on High Ridge Road to Hypoluxo Rd. and then east along an easement and then into the site itself. The site proposed to have parking along the eastern boundary and western boundary. The reason it has~come before the Board again is that the initial site plan proved to be unbuildable owing to the location of the building and its interf, erence With an FP&L easement~, The plan ~as changed .to~qualif~ i~ ~for a new site plan approval requirement. Another difference between this plan and the plan that was previous approved is the additio'n of a drainage pond on adjacent property separated by a 50-ft access easement which will serve not only this development but the remainder of the industrial plat when and if it is recorded. Mr. George Wasser, Architect and agent for Rollyson Aluminum Products appeared before the Board giving some history as to why they have to reappear (FP&L easement). They have not changed ~ anything except the position of the building, parking (ap~roxi- imat~ly the same) and a drainage pond. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 Mr. Annunziato then read into the record the TeChnical Review Board comments starting with the Building Department (Bud Howell), dated 6-21-79, noting the following: 1. No commercial building in the City of Boynton Beach under the present ordinance, which was just passed at the June 19th Council meeting, could be permitted without extending water and sewer lines to the facility. Further, a fire sprinkler system could not be dependent on a well supply system, for obvious reasons. 2. On-site storm water retention calculations for the first three inches of run-off are required. 3. Water Management approval is required for over two acres of impervious material. 4. Approval for turn-out required for High Ridge Road which is a County right-of-way. 5. It is not recom- mended that the City approve any building, now or in the future, on any road paved in any way other than asphalt or concrete. It is also recommended that High Ridge Road be extended to N.W. 22nd Avenue. Mr. Wasser clarified that the paving of the road from the building to High Ridge Road would be done. Mr. knnunziato then continued with a memo from the Building Department (Bert Keehr), dated 10-15-79, noting the following: 1. There is some question concerning the required parking and how it is figured. 2. All signs must be approved and permitted on a separate permit. 3. Sidewalks will be required either now or when future roads are constructed.. 4. Bathrooms and entrances do not meet handicap law. 5. This site plan shows more than two acres of impervious area; Water Management must approve. The Fire Department noted that the plans are subject to Fire Marshal's final approval of fire protection system. And from the Utility Department the following is noted: Inasmuch as water and sewer are not available in the vic~'-~ni~ky of this development, it is recommended that their permit be denied on the basis of Section B (3) of Ordinance #79-18. The reason for this is because it would not be economically feasible for the City to participate with the developer in extending water and sewer services to this piece of property at this time. This denial should be appealable to the City Council under Section B4 of Ordinance ~#79~18. If an appeal is made by the developer, it should be granted, subject to: 1. Submission of plans and completion of all on-site utilities, with appropriate easements before or at the time of construction. 2. Agreement to partici- pate with other developers in the cost of providing off~site utilities proportionately, when off-site utilities are extended into this area. 3. Pay the capital facilities charge when off- site utilities are available. 4. Pay appropriate connection charges at the time of connection of the off-site utilities. From the Engineering Department came the following memo: 1. Easement for roadway and utilities must be recorded or platted; if ease- ment is recorded, provide.book and page number. 2. An easement is required for the 2.5 acre drainage dry depression, and also an indication of who will maintain this area. 3. A statement as to who will maintain the off-site street drainage system is required. 10. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 10-23-79 The Police Department noted that lighting is required. The Planning Department noted the following: 1. The landscape strip along the proposed N/S road to the west of the project should be moved 5-ft. east to provide for placement on private property. 2. Pave High Ridge Road from where it currently terminates to the entrance road. 3. Pave the entrance road from High Ridge Road to the parking lot paving. 4. All road paving to be consistent with City specifications. 5. The 50-ft. easement shown on survey should be dedicated to the public and should be expanded to a 60-f~.~as~ement. ~ ~6. Dedicate that portion of Miner Rd. adjacent to said development for public right-Of- way purposes. 7. A perpetual easement for the off-site drainage pond must be recorded prior to issuance of permits. 8. The off-site drainage pond must not encroach into dedicated easement show~ on survey as it will exist in its 60-ft expanded form. 9. Must submit a revised survey indicating all physical and easement encroachments on the land. Mr. Annunziato then stated that he had asked Mr. Wasser to clarify the parking requirements on the Plan. And, he then read into the record the following letter from Mr. Wasser: According to the City Parking requirements,one car space per 2 employees on the largest shift is required. The Rollysons have advised us,as their agen~hat a maximum of 25 employees ar~ envisioned for ~he initial stages of their project. At that time 2 company vehicles will be used, giving a total of 14.5 spaces required. Since we know that in the future there maybe need for manufacturing, requiring more employees and car spaces, we have provided an additional 62 spaces for 20,000 square feet. However, at present the total facility is for storage~only. Mr. Wasser questioned why his client should pave the street in front of Florida Pneumatic. -Mr. Ryder replied, that he has~ an alternative~.~to go to Miner Road-from High Ridge ROad~ Mr, Annunziato stated he thinks the applie~an~ ~S interested in developing thi~ site in ~n expedite% manner.~f it, s developed subject to staff comments as submitted there is always the potential future modifying of the site, subject to new conditions. But we can't take into account those new conditions becaUse they are not presented to the Board now. Chairman Thompson questioned that if~~ rior to occu anc o~ ~h' building,~ a~ter main would be ~ br6~ght oVer-from -SeacOaSt, ahd if that~is not a part of the original, application. Mr. Annunziato stated that he didn't know if that was ever determined in the final approval by Council. He thought that~Mr. Cessna's comments in memo form reflect what our recommendation was when the plan was approved. Also, Mr. Annunziato clarified that initiall~ the applicant was perfectly will~ng_~o pav~_~th~t, portion of High Ridge Road to the entrance road. 11. MINUTES Planning & Zoning Board 10-23-79 Mr. Hester made a motion to approve this site plan subject to all staff comments; seconded by Mr. Johnson; motion carried 5-0.

FLORIDA ~323 BELVEDERE ROAD WEST PALM BEACH. FLORIDA 33402 October 23, 1979 ARTHUR H. BOOGAE LOUIS J. EASSA JAMES C. DE LONGA ROBERT S. HOWELl. BERNARD KIMMEL, SUSAN R. PELL THOMAS W. SA~NSBURY 33435 Att: Craig Grabeel, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: BELLAMARVILLAS P.U.D. Dear Mr. Grabeel: The Department of School Plant Planning has reviewed the information provided relative to proposed Bellamar Villas P.U.D. on a 30.4 acre parcel in Boynton Beach. The information provided to this office indicates that Bellamar Villas P.U.D. when completed will consist of 216 dwelling units. The mix of units w~ll be 80 one and two bedroom apartments and 68 duplexes (136 D.U.). Total dwelling units in Bellamar Villas P.U.D. will be 216 units. This office estimates that Bellamar Villas P.U.D. will generate approximately 86 public school age students when completed. A probable grade level break- down of which would be as follows: 38 pupils in grades K-5, 22 pupils in grades 6-8, 26 pupils in grades 9-12. Schools of attendance assuming existing attendance boundaries remain and no new schools are built at the time Bellamar Villas P.U.D. is completed, are listed below. Also listed are the present membership, the additional student membership to be generated by the development and a projection of the number of students each school will be expected to house in five years, as well as, the usable permanent capacity of each school.

Existing membership represents student membership reported as of September 1979, which constitutes the first attendance accounting period. 2/. The 1983-84 projected membership will be evaluated annually and may be revised based on each schools' actual enrollment and the amount of resi- dential building activity within each school's attendance boundary. 3_/. Planning is underway for senior high school S-3 to be located west of Lantana. If funds become available and this school is completed, it will relieve overcrowded conditions at Lake Worth Sr. High School. Page 2 Craig Grabeel, Assistant Planner October 23, 1979 You will note that the schools which will be expected to house students emana- ting from these units are projected to be seriously overcrowded. While the School Board and Administration recognize the need for additional school facilities, there are at present no funds available to build such facilities. The factor that will determine enrollments is dependent upon the rate at which the various developments in the area are completed. It should also be noted that this is a countywide system. Therefore, the school system's ability to meet building needs in one area must be viewed against the total county school construction demand. State funds are allocated to school districts based on the actual number of_ students in attendance rather than on projected enrollment. Based experience, state capital outlay funding allocations for this district, are generally inadequate to provide facilities necessary for the additional students emanating from the approved developments. Therefore funds for capital outlay use must be generated locally, perhaps through millage creases, ad valorem bond issues or some type of "fair share" impact assess- ment. The Administration, therefore, will recommend to the Boynton Beach City Council that the petitioner consider a contribution equivalent to .4 of 1% of the selling price or commensurate value of each residential dwelling unit, on a one time initial sales basis, as a means of assisting the School Board in its attempt to acquire funds with which to alleviate overcrowded school conditions. These funds will be placed in a special capital outlay account to be used in the area impacted by this development. The School Board has twice in the past 8 years attempted without success to pass bond issues to finance new school construction. It is essential that a reliable source of school construction funds be found; this will require a strong cooperative effort with the School Board by other governmental entities, responsible developers and concerned parents. However, if the school funding problem could be successfully resolved, the School Board would be able to build the fa~cilities necessary to accommodate new resi- dential growth within the county.
