III. Mr. Bradford, Village Manager reported that he has been attending meetings with the City Managers of Northern Palm` Beach County municipalities and County Commissioner Karen T. Marcus to establish proposed Reserve Annexation areas for the northern Palm Beach County municipalities in an attempt to resolve any potential disputes with neighboring municipalities concerning their proposed Reserve Annexation areas. Mr. Bradford identified the proposed "natural boundaries" for the Village of Tequesta at the point beginning southeasterly along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean at the centerline of the Jupiter Inlet, extending westerly along the centerline of the Loxahatchee River to the land west of the "Country Club" peninsula identified as Section 27 Special Council Meeting March 29, 1988 Page 2 - to the Martin County Line, then northerly along Martin County Line to include all of Section 22 approximately one (1 ) mile north of Martin County Line, then easterly including the northern boundaries of Section 22, Section 23, Section 24 and Section 19 to the Atlantic Ocean, then southerly to the center of Jupiter Inlet. Mr. Bradford noted that during discussions with the Northern Palm Beach County City Managers that the Town of Jupiter has considered Section 27 as a potential Reserve Annexation area. The area lies in excess of one (1) mile from Jupiter's northern most boundary. Mr. Bradford noted that the area would more appropriately be within the "natural boundaries" for Reserve Annexation by the Village. IV. Mr. Eugene Caputo, Village Planning Consultant presented a summary report reviewing Florida Statutes applicable to annexations, Village Charter provisions for annexations, a history of the growth of the Village by annexations, recommendations for Village annexation goals, objectives and planning recommendations, and a proposed agreement for expanding the professional services for revision to the Tequesta Comprehensive Development Plan. A Copy of the report is attached and made a part of these minutes for information purposes. Mr. Caputo noted that the most recent goals established two (2) years ago by Council provided for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan primarily of annexed pocket areas and did not provide for annexation of other areas. He indicated if the areas mentioned by Mr. Bradford are to be included within the Village Comprehensive Plan, additional work will be necessary to include those areas into the Village Comprehensive Plan. He indicated the services to be provided would not include a specific cost benefits study; moreover, a demographic study of the area to include the level of services desired and the capital improvement elements necessary to service the proposed annexation areas. He also noted that a five year review of all Comprehensive Plans is required by State Statute. Carlton D. Stoddard suggested a review of the issues with Jupiter to eliminate the possibility of any future conflicts concerning Section 27. He also noted that Palm Special Council Meeting March 29, 1988 Page 3 - Beach County has already included the unincorporated area on Beach Road to Martin County Line as future land to be annexed to the Village. Councilmember Collings stated that according to professional marketing area standards, the area proposed as reserve annexation to the Village would be considered as one separate market area. Councilmemember Howell and Dr. Stanley Jacobs questioned the cost of $13, 500 required for planning services necessary to include those areas within the Village Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Caputo indicated that during the past two (2) years, the Village has expended in excess of $24,000 for services to prepare the Village Comprehensive Plan. Village Manager Bradford indicated the current operating budget includes the funding required for the additional services should they be approved. Upon completion of the review, Councilmember Collings, moved, seconded by Vice-Mayor Howell, "to authorize the Village Manager to execute an expanded service contract with Executive Management & Engineering Consultants, Inc. for the inclusion of the areas designated of Sections 26, 27, and 22 within the Village Comprehensive Plan.
