Rrrv~lad Pn»vr Local Planning Agency Meeting Minutes October 13, 1994 Page 2 ------------------------------- Scott D. Ladd, Building Official, acting in his capacity as Comprehensive Planning Coordinator, explained that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments were the result of the Village Council's request to change the roadway classification for Country Club Drive and Seabrook Road from urban collectors to "limited neighborhood access" streets in order to give the Village local control. The proposed amendments required changes to the Traffic Circulation element, Intergovernmental Coordination element, and the Capital Improvements element of the Comprehensive Development Plan; changes and updates to the Traffic Circulation element of the Support Documentation; and changes to the Existing Traffic Circulation Map and the Future Traffic Circulation Map. The proposed amendments were distributed to Palm Beach County, Town of Jupiter, Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District, South Florida Water Management District, Loxahatchee River District (ENCON) and the Palm Beach County School Board in accordance with the Palm Beach Countywide Intergovernmental Coordination Program, all of which had submitted letters of "no objection" to the proposed amendments. At this Public Hearing, the Local Planning Agency was required to review the amendments and, if approved, recommend to Village Council transmittal of the proposed amended Comprehensive Plan to Tallahassee to the Department of Community Affairs. The only changes made in the maps for the current amendments were to add the designation of "Limited Neighborhood Access Street" to Country Club Drive and to Seabrook Road, and the identification symbols. The intent was to lower the level of service and this proposed amendment would remove Country Club Drive and Seabrook Road from the State review process, give the Village local control, and prevent expansion to more than the present two paved lanes. Mr. Ladd stated he would request that DCA review this proposed amendment under the new short format, however the review process used would be their decision. In response to Mayor Mackail, Mr. Ladd stated that the Village was trying to make sure that Country Club Drive and Seabrook Road were in a format on Tequesta's traffic circulation element that would preclude any major construction to those roads or Local Planning Agency Meeting Minutes October 13, 1994 Page 3 ------------------------------- increasing of laneage, or width, or speed with future development that Martin County might do, and gives Teguesta the right to oppose future development that might affect those roads, and that recent improvements to Country Club Drive at the Martin County border gave the impression that the street was a neighborhood street, not a thoroughfare. Councilmember Collings questioned whether any trouble was foreseen since Martin County did not provide a letter of no objection, to which Mr. Ladd responded no letter was required and no problems were foreseen, since Martin County's fear had been that Country Club Drive was being shut down and Village Manager Bradford had written a letter assuring them that was not the case, and also that if they did object that Mr. Ladd felt they would not have standing. 2) Review of Proposed Resolution No. 22-93/94. 3) Local Planning Agency and Public Comments: George Marshall, 343 Country Club Drive, requested a date that this matter might be completed, and stated that he thought this was supposed to be in Tallahassee by this time. Village Manager Bradford repeated his earlier comments that there had been an error in an advertisement which delayed the process, and should be completed by February 1995. 4) Local Planning Agency Recommendation to the Village Council Regarding Resolution No. 1-94/95 and the Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Vice Mayor Burckart moved that the modifications to the Comprehensive Plan be approved and transmitted to DCA. Councilmember Collings seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L.
