Mayor Feeney declared the Public Hearing open, which was duly advertised
5,'25;33, 6;if38, 618i88 and 6/15/88, and herd on the intent of Ordinance
26, 1988, annexation of 2,254.88 acres, more or less, within Section
34- 41 -42, Section 3- 42 -42, Section 4- 42 -42, Section 5 -42 -42 and Section
33- 41 -42; and located, in general, between PGA Boulevard & north of Hood
Road and the 0-18 Canal & the Florida Turnpike.
The City Manager stated the subject annexation meets the requirements of
Florida Statutes, Chapter 171.044, Voluntary Annexations, and does not
develop enclaves. The City has exceeded the requirements of Florida
Statutes by having a voluntary northern annexation study report prepared
by Resource Engineer and Planning, Inc. dated May 26, 1988.
Mr. Sam Shannon, Assistant County Administrator for Palm Beach County,
addressed the City Council stating his comments at this time would oertain
to Ordinance 26, 27, 28, and 29, 1988, on the agenda tonight. Mr.
Shannon stated that two days ago the Board of County Coamissioners
concluded a proposed annexation policy that had been taken several months
to develop. The proposed policy to a substantial extent parallels the
issues that have been included with discussions with the City. The Board
felt it was important to remove the traffic performance standards and
impact fees issues from this policy since the intention is to place these
issues on the ballot in the November election for a charter amendment to
impose these issues on a Countywide basis. The current issues remaining
in the policy principally relate to service delivery. The Board also felt
j�DMf 8dKe111� [N�e�:a:[Hel4.�,a��17;>sia[en
that annexations shored not go forward if they create enclaves, finger
areas or pockets until some type of agreement, preferably a signed
Interlocal Agreement, with the local government had been entered into to
cure those deficiencies within a reasonable period of time. Mr. Shannon
stated the County had no objections to the annexation outlined in
Ordinance 26, 1988, since there was an understanding that the Bonnet Lodge
has a willingness to annex into the City. Mr. Shannon stated re:
Ordinance 27, 1988, annexing 1,392.22 acres, the Board saw no legal defi-
ciencies. Mr. Shannon stated re: Ordinance 28, 1988, annexing 755.97
acres, there were 4 potential legal deficiencies, however, it was his
understanding that on 3 of the 4 areas substantial progress was being
made to cure those deficiencies. The one area left unanswered is the KOA
Campground at the corner of Hood Road and Alternate A -1 -A. It was deter-
mined however, that if Ordinance 29, 1988, was not adopted this evening,
that this would not cause a problem. Mr. Shannon stated Ordinance 29,
1988, the eastern most annexation of 596.14 acres, created a major enclave
with "Cabana Colony ". Mr. Shannon stated he felt that all areas wes,. of
the Intracoastal, south of Donald Ross Road and north of PGA Boulevard,
should be part of Palm Beach Gardens. He stated one of the ways to
accomplish this goal is for the City and County to jointly employ an inde-
pendent consultant to begin going to these neighborhoods and residents to
determine if there is an interest in becoming part of Palm Beach Gardens,
and determine how the County and City could cooperatively work to assist
in these goals. Mr. Shannon requested the City postpone ado..tion of
Ordinance 28 and 29, 1988.
