INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION Palm Beach County DATE: February 7, 1991 TO: Karen T. Marcus, Chair 'Si r�,, 11 F(i 3 17 Board of County Commissioners ' `� 1_ - FROM: Dennis Eshleman, Director Parks and Recreation Department RE: THE PALM BEACH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL PROPOSAL This office has reviewed the proposal of the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival for locating an outdoor theatre for Shakespearean productions in the southern portion of Carlin Park. As you are aware, Carlin Park has long been recognized as the only park in the north county area capable of housing special events of any real size. In considering The Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival 's proposal it was necessary to always focus on the diversity of use which regularly occurs in Carlin Park and the park's ability to handle those uses both jointly and individually. As one of the County's busiest beach parks, with projections for further increases in attendance, the available and planned infrastructure dictated questioning as to whether the proposed site was the most appropriate location for such productions. While other parks may be developed in future years that would offer opportunities for a more desirable location of the activities proposed by Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival, Carlin Park is the only park in the north county area currently capable of providing space for such a proposal. With that ' in mind, Carlin Park is seen as being reasonably developed to provide additional special event capabilities. This office would 'support some type -of facility to accommodate the -various performing arts to be part of that development. While there are no capital dollars available for the construction of such a facility, strong consideration would be given to working with private groups for the funding of that construction in return for • limited 'selecteduse of the site. However, as the public demand for use of Carlin Park is so strong, there is no support for providing exclusivity of use or facilities to any one group. Additionally, the size and scope of any events held at such a facility would need to. be limited to conform to the available infrastructure. Should you desire ,additional information on this issue, please contact me directly. DE/MME/.rr pc: Jean Creamer • Signed _�� e,, 4k4 — Board of County Commissioners County Administrator Karen T.
