• The Village Manager told Council that in 1963 the St. Jude's
Church was permitted to build at their present location. When
they came to the Village to build a Parish Center the Village
found that the Church had to come before the Council and a Public
Hearing. Notice of the Public Hearing has been duly advertised
in the Courier on June 11, 1979 and posted on June 6, 1979. There
were nine (9) letters sent to property owners within 500 feet of
the Church, a letter was also sent to Palm Beach County's Planning,
Zoning and Building Department and a letter was sent to the Palm
Beach County Commissioners. No response has been received. The
plans had gone before the Community Appearance Board for their
review. In a litter to the Village from the Chairman of the
Community Appearance Board, Ruth E. Butterfield, and in the letter
it stated that, "the Board was in unanimous agreement that this
expansion or enlargement of the Chur:ch's Special Exception Use in
an R-1 Zoned District will not adversely affect any surrounding
properties and will conform to the criteria set forth in Section 16.7
Special Exception Uses (1) (a) through (g) of the Village Zoning
Code".
The Village Manager also informed the Council that this will
go before the Site Plan Review.

go ahead with its plan to build the Parish Center.
