Memorandum
To: Village Council
From: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager
Date:. July 17, 1998
Subject: Resolution Urging Modification of Country Club Drive
from an Eighty Foot Right-of-Way to a Fifty Foot
Right-of-Way; Agenda Item
•As you can see from the attached correspondence, Palm Beach
`County is moving forward with its promise to amend its
Comprehensive Plan to reduce the right-of-way on Country Club
Drive. In response to my letter of June 29, 1998, to Charles
Walker, Director of the Traffic Division at Palm Beach County, he
requested that his office be provided with a formal Resolution of
support for the effort to indicate the right-of-way on Country
Club Drive to be fifty feet versus the current eighty feet
indicated on the Palm Beach County Thoroughfare Protection Map.
In this regard, I have prepared the attached Resolution for your
consideration at your meeting on July 23rd. If you approve the
Resolution, it will be forwarded to Palm Beach County for their
records in pursuing the right-of-way reduction in the first round
of Comprehensive Plan amendments scheduled in calendar year 1999 .

RE: Country Club Drive Right-of-Way •
Dear Cindy:
This is in furtherance of our conversation on April 3, 1998,
regarding the above referenced subject. •
As you know, Country Club Drive was previously designated as having
80 feet of right-of-way available. A few years ago, Tequesta took
steps to place irrevocable easements along the perimeter of each
side of the Country Club Drive right-of-way which ..effectively
grants only '50 feet of right-of-way for roadway purposes .
Country Club Drive is listed in the Palm Beach County Thoroughfare
Plan and/or Thoroughfare Identification Map (TIM) as still having
an 80 foot right-of-way. Accordingly, if possible, Tequesta would
appreciate any efforts by Palm Beach County to acknowledge the 50
foot status within Palm Beach County's Thoroughfare Plan and/or
TIM. If Palm Beach County were to recognize the 50 foot
right-of-way status of Country Club Drive, this would do much to
allay the fears many residents have concerning future four-laning
'of Country Club Drive.
Any steps that Commissioner Marcus, yourself or others with Palm
Beach County can take to cause the 50 foot right-of-way on Country
Club Drive to be recognized by Palm Beach County in its
Thoroughfare Plan and/or TIM, will be greatly appreciated.
Should you have any questions relative to this request, please feel
free to contact me at your convenience.

RE: COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE RIGHT -OF-WAY
■
Dear Mr. Bradford:
Palm Beach County
Boardof County This is in reference to your letter of April 10, 1998 to Cindy DeFilippo,
Commissioners Administrative Assistant for Commissioner Marcus.
Burt Aaronson,Chairman In this letter you requested that the Palm Beach County Thoroughfare
Maude Ford Lee,Vice Chair Right of Way Identification Map be modified to show a 50 ft right-of-way
Karen T.Marcus for Country Club Drive. The reason for this modification would be to
document the intent that Country Club Drive would not be widened
Carol A.Roberts beyond its existing two lanes. Similar restrictions have previously been
• Warren H.Newell made on Northfork Drive 'and Loxahatchee River Road restricting this
right-of-way to 60 ft.
Mary McCarty
Ken L.Foster As part of the Comprehensive Plan Reservation 99-1, I will recommend
that this requested revision be made to the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way
Identification Map for the Board of County Commissioners' consideration.
County Administrator Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact me.
