He also questioned the drainage. Mr. Richards responded the project had approval from Palm Beach County for traffic, and Loxahatchee Water Control District had stamped the drainage and sewage plans. Attorney Davis noted the first thing in the application was a site plan modification to the overall site to expand Parcel No. 4, and part two was a site plan for the newly sized outparcel. Since the shopping center had never been platted, the only requirement was to modify the site plan to change the shape of the outparcel. Mr. Richards noted they had consent to remove the existing wall sign, which was in the right-of-way. Chair Hackett expressed appreciation for the updated master plan. Board Member Schauer asked if the monument sign would be high enough to see. It was at the maximum height allowed by code, but would be lighted at night.
