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. -4- MINUTES REGGLAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEmbER 7, 1972 LEGAL, cont'd.- Annex~tion~ Ordinance No. 72-27 Mrs. Jackson stated that she never said she wanted to adopt the Land Use Advisory Map. She only wanted to wait and dovetail our plan with their plan and work with them. She thJ~nks it would be w~_'se to wait. Mayor Effron stated that he attended the meeting of the AdvisoryBoard 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 heading for met~o~ whereby, the County is tel!ing~e municipalities 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. Mayor Effron alSo stated that this development is not going to be built overnight. This is a 10 year program. F~. Ki!!gore added that there will be 100 units the first year~ 200 units the second yea~ ~nd 500 units the third year. P~s. Hartman asked if the Hospital will be able to keep up with this? Mr. Koch stated that they are doing their best~ and planning for the future. We have our problems and have to face them. M_rs. Castello asked Mr. Koch if he has connections with the developer. -5- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 7, 1972 LEGAL~ cont'd.- Annexation, Ordinance NO. 72-27 Mr. Koch stated no~ he has connections with the land owners.

Mr. Kil!gore stated that from an adm/nistrative viewpoint, someone who sits here has to prepare for long range planning. It is necessamy we speak ~n relation to business management. We have an obligation to give those people the same right that we have. This job will be done 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. F~, Roberts stated that he recogn/zes the fact that the Board of 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. There will be 25~000 people in an area of about 700 acres. Mayor Effron stated that there will only be 17~380 people. There is 45~560~000 square feet of open area in th/s development: and maximum land coverage is only 2~.

M. PRESENT: Robert B. Effron, Mayor Mrs. Emily M. Jackson, Vice Mayor John L. Arahie, Councilman Harold L. B!anchette~ Councilman David Robe~ts~ Councilman 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. -1- ~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. -2- 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 going to stay Robert Beyrer stated his objection to the proposed annexation~ and urged Council to consider the Candeub~ Fleissig Ptanvery carefully. He was concerned as to our ability to service this area. He felt the developer was not clear as to whether this would be a condominium develoP~.ent or not. He urge~ that some single family homes be in- eluded in subject development. -5- MINUTES - $~L CITY COUNCIL ME~.~i'zNG AND PUBLIC HEARING ON CHARTER WORLD ANNEXATION OCTOBER 24, 1972 Mrs. Jackson stated' that it ha~ been bl~ught out that we are going tO have a shortage of wate~ and salt intzw/sion if we are not ca~efuL She suggested postponing this~ and have Mm.
