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. In response to Councilmember
Schauer, Mr. Ladd explained that all changes to the
elements were identified by highlights and
underlines. Councilmember Collings questioned the
change in the width of Old Dixie from the existing
to the future traffic circulation maps. Mr. Ladd
explained those changes had been made in the past
when plans to change Old Dixie had been considered;
however, 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. Councilmember Capretta
verified that the purpose of the changes was to
provide local control of speed limits, and local
traffic flows.
Jack Horniman, Village Planning Consultant,
clarified that the proposed amendments would remove
Country Club Drive and Seabrook Road from the State
review process, and give the Village local control.
Mr. Horniman verified that the road would remain
two paved lanes with 15 feet on either side for
landscaping and utilities. Mr. Horniman's response
to Mayor Mackail's concern of how future growth or

annexation which would affect level of service
would be handled was that the proposed change to
the intergovernmental coordination element stated
that subject to any developments that could have a
potential impact on these roads that the Village
would have to secure interlocal agreements that
would spell out what the impacts would be and who
would bear the expense of those impacts.
Therefore, if Martin County were to approve a
development that would put a traffic load onto
Country Club Drive that would exceed the adopted
level of service, the Village would have adopted
standards in their Comprehensive Plan that would
allow them to object. Vice Mayor Burckart
questioned whether the Village would have any real
power to force cooperation by Martin County to
which Mr. Horniman replied the proposed amendments
would give the Village standing in their
Comprehensive Plan to object or if necessary to
pursue legal action. Vice Mayor Burckart also
questioned whether the Village would have to
improve the roads if traffic increased above the
adopted level of service without a new development
by Martin County, to which Mr. Horniman responded
that traffic projections showed the Village would
be well within the level of service. Village
Manager Bradford responded to Mr. Collings that
there would be no change in the maintenance
responsibilities for these roads.
2) Review of Proposed Resolution No. 22-93/94:
Village Attorney Randolph explained that the
Resolution would be considered at the next meeting,
and that agenda item 3) Local Planning Agency and
Public Comments had been completed.
4) Local Planning Agency Recommendation to the
Village Council Regarding Resolution No. 22-93/94
and the Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment:
Councilmember Collings moved that the modifications to the
Comprehensive Plan be approved and recommended that the
Village Council adopt those changes and also moved to set
the date for the next Public Hearinq as September 22, 1994
at 7 P.M. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The
