�— additional $44,300 dollar contribution from PGA National,
which will bring the total to $862,300, which represents the
proposed development budget for the 36 acre park. This
funding is to be provided in exchange for a residential use
designation on the 13.8 acre site referenced above together
with a modification to the DRI Development Order relieving the
Developer of any obligation to donate said 13.8 acres for a
public park site as referenced in condition No.14, Palm Beach
Gardens Resolution 43,1978.

a. A 2 1/2 acre site for the use of the Northern Palm Beach
County Water Control District is to be provided in the
light manufacturing area (in the southeast corner of PGA
National) which is being referenced on the revised master
plan as "Commerce Park ".
b. A site of approximately 1 acre is to be provided for a
fire station facility at the northeast corner of PGA
National. Both you and the Fire Chief have reviewed and
approved the proposed location.
The developer proposes to increase the land area dedicated for
public park use from the 32 acres required in the DRI
Development Order to 36 acres. This additional park land
dedication, together with 2 b. above, is to be made in
exchange for a modification to the DRI Development Order
relieving the developer of any obligation to dedicate a 4 acre
police, fire and emergency rescue site as referenced in
conditon No.3, Palm Beach Gardens Resolution 43,1978.
3) A proposal to shift the entrance to the Commerce Park to a
more westerly location on Northlake Blvd. thus allowing a
maximum distance from the Northlake Blvd. overpass of the
Turnpike to be maintained. In addition, condition No.15, Palm
Beach Gardens Resolution 43,1978 requiring internal access for
the Commerce Park site, is hereby requested to be modified by
deleting the words "and light manufacturing area ".
4) A proposal to revise the location of office and commercial
designations east of the PGA National main entrance at PGA
Blvd. While square footage and acreage designations are to
remain the same, it is anticipated that the revised locations
will result in a more desirable relationship between the two
land uses, PGA Blvd. and the project's main entrance drive.
5) A proposal to transfer residential dwelling units as follows:
a. 52 units to be transfered from parcel M -37 and 46 units
from parcel M -38 (a total of 98 units) into parcel M -22.

which was previously part of parcel M -37.

family parcels S -9 and S -10 respectively.

the actual land area remaining in the southeast corner of the
project.
