Dear Mayor Jackson:
The Minutes of the meeting of the Planning and Zoning
Board held on September 12, 1973, includes the motion stated
below that was unanimously adopted by the Board:
"That it be recommended to Boynton Beach City
Council that an amendment to the present ord-
inance be prepared and enacted, as soon as
possible, providing for staggered ter~ for
Planning and Zoning Board Members in order to
insure a continuity of experience and effect-
ive and efficient operation of the duties
and responsibilities of said Board"
This proposal stems from the present experience in the
preparation of the new Zoning Regulations and Zoning Map, as
well as other continuous items to come before the Board. It
is conceivable that, when adopted, a future Board will require
the background work that has taken many, many hours to deve-
lop. It would also insure, for the future of the City, that
there would be several members experienced in the work of the
Board.
The present Community Appearance Board created in Ordi-
nance No. 73-2 has well-defined terms of members for the rea-
sons stated above. May I call your attention to Section
31-16.2.
The members of the Planning and Zoning Board are of the
unanimous opinion that this Board is a significant adjunct to
the City and can be strengthened if structured with definitive
terms of members in a similar manner.
Your considered attention to our suggestion will be very
much aopreciated.
