the Planning Dept. had brought the topic up. Mr. Golden
didn't recall if the issue came up at that time.
Relative to the concern of allowing the rear of the shopping
center to be exposed to the residential units in the PUD
with little separation, Commissioner Wische made comments
about the possibility of a berm to buffer the situation.
Mr. Golden stated the TRB was aware that a 61 wall would be
required as there wouldnlt be a physical separation such as
a lake or a road. Potentially two story units will be
looking down at the back of the center and that was the
basis for the TREls recommendation. Discussion took place.
Commissioner Wische didn1t agree that a concrete wall should
be put there. He felt a berm or buffer should be put there
to separate. The residents in the second story will still
be able to see over a 61 concrete wall. Mr. Golden remarked
the wall is a zoning requirement and they would need a
variance to delete it. Remarks were made about the migra-
tion of zoning at the site. Mr. Golden stated that
extending the lake or other design factors could be made
conditional if the Commission saw fit.

D. Master Plan Modification - Lawrence Grove P.U.D.
~im Golden, Senior Planner explained this parcel is a County
pocket which lies between Lawrence Grove and the Meadows.
Qne of the conditions imposed on Lawrence Grove was for the
4eveloper to attempt to acquire or condemn a 601 right-of-
~ay to the connector road in the Meadows to the collector
~oad in Lawrence Grove, maintaining a continuous road
$ystem. The basis for the' condition was to improve the
$mergency access for the Police and Fire Depts. to the
western areas of the City.
Mr. Golden explained the current request is to change the
nature of the condition from a 60' right-of-way to a 10'
~tility easement as Palm Beach County has concerns with the
litigation for the condemnation of the right-of-way.
The City staff stands by its original recommendation at the
~ime of zoning approval and feels a reasonable attempt
should be made to attempt to acquire the right-of-way for
~mergency access. Comments were made on efforts made to
date to obtain the right-of-way. Mr. Golden didn't think it
nad gone to lititation yet and thought the crux of the issue
~ight be that there may be more of a basis in law of prece-
dent for the easement rather than the road.

Road access from various directions was addressed. Mr.
Golden commented that after listening to staff at the TRB
meeting there appeared to be an urgency to try and get as
much in there as quick as possible to improve the situation.
Discussion had taken place that the City could not
necessarily rely on certain developers when the schedule is
unknown about putting in other roads. The missing link pro-
perty owner's name is Foster. The property owner is asking
a fairly high sum for the land. Discussion ensued.
Tim Cannon, Interim Planning Director explained Palm Beach
County1s attorney advised the Land Acquisition staff that if
this went to Court, the County would have difficulty
establishing a legal basis for the County condemning the
right-of-way for a local street which serves projects within
the City. If it was right-of-way for a thoroughfare for an
arterial like Hypoluxo or Lawrence Rd., the County would be
on firm legal ground.
The Mayor thought'if this was going to be an impossibility
to obtain, it was ridiculous to hold up the whole project.
Technical discussion took place with Mr. Cannon relative to
the County, eminent domain proceedings and the amount of
money the owner is asking for the property.
Commissioner Wische could not see holding up a project that
nas made every effort possible to achieve the maximum safety
they could get out of it, when one person is holding them
qp. Commissioner Wische moved to approve this as not a
~ubstantia1 change and deleting the recommendation of staff
t;hat the developer has to get that. The developer will
~xercise his best efforts to get it but it will not be a
':killer" if he can't. Vice Mayor Olenik seconded the
motion.
GommissionerWeiner was uncomfortable voting against staff
Z:ecommendations.
~lthough there was no representative of the developer pre-
sent, Vice Mayor Olenik hoped the City could get a commit-
ment from them that they would continue to try to go that
~oute, if cost will allow it. Commissioner Wische remarked
~hat K. Hovnanian is a reputable builder and he didn1t think
bhey \'lould "snuff out" of something of this nature without
giving it their best attempt.
Mr. Cannon remarked the condemnation proceeding is being
done by the County as a courtesy. The County is advising
~he City and the developer that to proceed with this would
probably be futile.

The TRB's reaommendation was 'that the conditions continue to
be imposed because they are still in need of the right-of-

the Planning & Zoning Board ,for final,consideration.
