Mr. Tendrich reported he has met with the Parks Director, Planning Director, Councilman Kiselewski and the City Manager on a number of points and issues. One item was that the road be located and approved by Parks Department and Administration exactly where it would be. Another suggestion was that a tree line be put in on both sides of the roads. The fence would be landscaped and there would be a sign entering the park. Mr. Tendrich stated these changes have been discussed with Northern Palm Beach Water Control District counsel and once approval has been obtained by the City Council, they will go to Northern Palm Beach Water Control District for their approval. Councilman Kiselewski stated he has met with Steve Tendrich and discussed these items with Pete Pimental, Chief Jack Frazier and some of the residents to get their feelings re: this plan.

At some point in time, it was expected that Jog Road would meet either at the north end or the south end. The City has no control over that possibility in the future. Councilwoman Monroe stated she felt that if every municipality closed their north /south, east /west corridors, it would be a disservice to the public. Councilwoman Monroe feels that once the gates are closed on a 24 -hour basis, the residents will feel this is permanent. Councilwoman Monroe felt this property could have been developed similar to Lost Tree which is a highly secured community, or each individual com- munity inside PGA National could have been a secured community. Councilwoman Monroe stated her preference was to keep the gates open. ° Councilman Russo stated he felt the roads should not be four -lane because it is close to residential and there are children around and it would be a dangerous situation. Councilman Russo stated the residents of PGA National pay for their roads, there is a safe - neighborhood act in the City, and people have a right to protect themselves. He felt taxpayers dollars would be saved because of less crime incidents requiring less police action. Councilman Russo felt ;c should be tried, as long as the traffic can move through. Vice Mayor Aldred was concerned with signage and the accessability to the park for residents and non - residents. In response to Mayor Martino, Mr. Tendrich detailed signage plans. In response to the City Manager, Mr. Tendrich assured him the lights on the "Stop Ahead" signs would be recessed. The lights on the arms are ® hardly visible from the side, but should they pose a problem for the neighbors, they could use reflectors instead. rITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING, 3/1190 WAGE EIGHT Mr. Fields, member of board of Burwick Homeowners Association, addressed the City Council,and stated he was in favor of the proposal.
