Sorensen told the audience and Council that on Tuesday, December 1~, 1979 the Jupiter Tnlet District will meet with the Florida State Department of Environmental Regulation. in regard.. to the cleaning of the entrance of the Intracoastal into the Loxahatchee of the oyster bars that presently exist, NIr. Sorensen said that the DER is concerned that the cleaning of the oyster bars will damage the shrimp grass that is in that area, but the Jupiter Inlet District~~- argument is that the shrimp grass now exists only because of the clearing away of the oyster bars in the surrounding areas by local residents under the direction of the Jupiter Inlet District. Mr. Sorensen asked that the people attend the meeting in support of the Jupiter • Inlet District's request. The Village Manager told Council there were two amendments to the Land Use Plan involved. After the Land Use Plan was adopted there were two errors fo~.znd, One of them being that the Land Use Plan had split the executive Building and that the Land Use had been changed on Lot 1 to commercial when actually it should have also included Lots 2 and 3, Block 2. The second parcel of land, the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions on Jupiter Island, was given land use of medium density ao conform to the County's proposed land use but the County realized that area shc~°~`'.d be high density and changed their land use to reflect the same. The Villagers land use for that area now should be changed to the high density land use. There were no comments from the floor. The Village Attorney told Council that in the past the Village has not seeked the approval from the County for the reaoning of parcels of land before they were annexed into the Village but the Village could go to the County first and ask that the property under consideration be rezoned and then annexed into Tequesta.
