Mayor Kiselewski acknowledged receipt of a communication dated May 20,
®
1982, from County Administrator John C. Sansbury advising that the Board
of :ounty Commissioners officially received and filed our Resolution 21,
1982, requesting, pursuant to Section 171.062 of Chapter 171 of Florida
Statutes, permission for CPO - Commercial Professional Office usage of
this .945 -acre parcel currently zoned in the County as RH -High Density
Residential District and indicated on their Comprehensive Land Use Plan
as Medium- High /High Density Residential; and that it has been forwarded
to their Planning, Building, and Zoning Department for review.
Mr. Ted Brown, Realtor and Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce's Building
Committee, addressed the Council advising they understand that without
the above - referenced waiver, CPO usage of the land will not be permissible
for two years from effective date of the annexation Ordinance, if
adopted. They would be satisfied with this.
Councilwoman Monroe noted that the subject parcel is, excluding roadways,
abutted on all sides by properties zoned for residential usage; and that,
quoting from the City's Zoning Codes, "It is intended that these districts
(i.e., the requested CPO) be used as a transition between more intensive
commercial uses and residential developments. ". She felt zoning the
subject parcel CPO would provide for "spot zoning "; and recommended,
perhaps, the Countv be approached re: rezoning the whole strip of land
along PGA Boulevard.
Mr. Brown replied by offering that if the Countv were receptive to the
requested change in zoning, the Chamber would not be petitioning the
City for the annexation /zoning of the lands. Members of the public have
not expressed objection to the zoning request. Also, he felt CPO zoning
provides for the most practical /logical use of the lands.
Mr. Rudy Arsenicos, architect and member of the Chamber's Building Com-
mittee, addressed the Council in reference to Vice Mayor Monroe's com-
ments, offering that he felt zoning the subject parcel CPO would meet
the "spirit" of the Code - the residential lands to the north would be
buffered from PGA Boulevard. Councilman Aldred concurre,' with this.
In response to Mr. Bill Markham, 10330 N. Military Tr., PBG, the Mayor
®
advised that the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce has
represented they wish to locate their office on this parcel.
City Council Regular Meeting, 6/3/82 Page 3

steps would have to be subsequently taken for it to include the lands.

RESOLUTION 23, Mr. Hank Skokowski, President of Urban Design Studio, Mr. Gerald A. Goray,
1982 Vice President of National Investment Company and General Partner of PGA
National Venture, Ltd., and Mr. Conrad W. Schaeffer, Consulting Engineer,
addressed the Council referencing the discussions at the Workshop Meeting
of May 27, 1982, re: the application of PGA National Venture, Ltd. for
the creation of the 48.64 -acre "Devonshire" multi - family PUB, with 521
dwelling units, on the M -21 and M -22 tracts of the PGA National PCD.
At the Regular Meeting of June 17, 1982, the Council will consider
adoption of Resolution 23, 1982, providing for this PUDs creation. In
the meantime, the petitioner will provide supportive data re: the quantity
® of paved parking stalls proposed to be provided per dwelling unit and for
the clubhouse; and the City Attorney and Mr. Goray will recommend verbiage,
to be a part of the Resolution, outlining what will prompt the requirement
of the developer to pave the reserved parking stalls. Also, the Fire
Chief will expound on his comments re: this project, including how access
will be gained to the backs of Buildings F and G.
Mr. Goray related they would abide by a decision of the Council requiring
them to pave reserved parking stalls, subsequent to exercising a Public
Hearing where their traffic consultant, too, would be afforded an oppor-
tunity to give input; and requested a poll of the Council members as to
their receptiveness to the project, recognizing the fact a "triggering
mechanism" meeting the Council's approval will be a part of Resolution 23,
1982, formally creating this PUD.
A motion was unanimously adopted by the Council, indicating they ;could
approve the application of PGA National Venture, Ltd. for the creation of
the "Devonshire" PUD, provided a means is formulated to resolve a possible
future problem with the deviation from the City's Parking Code Requirements
(i.e., 1 stalls per unit in lieu of 2).

ORDINANCE 12, Mayor Kiselewski referenced the discussions of the Council at the
Workshop Meeting of May 27, 1982, re: Ordinance 12, 1982, regulating the
storage of recreational vehicles on residentially -zoned lands; and
reported that, per his research, the recorded deed restrictions on plats
within the City do not address this subject.
Recognizing the fact this Ordinance would impose a hardship on residents
that would be unable to continue to store recreational vehicles at their
homes, Councilman Aldred suggested, and other members of the Council
concurred, they discuss, at some future date, a viable alternative
(i.e., the City, perhaps, providing an area for the storage of recrea-
tional vehicles).
A motion was made by Councilman Kiedis, seconded by Councilman Aldred,
Ordinance 12, 1982, not be scheduled /duly advertised for Public Hearing
and consideration of Second Reading; and be defeated at this point.

Ordinance had been read on first reading, the residents should be
afforded an opportunity to provide their input at a duly advertised
®
�A
Public Hearing.
Vote on motion: Vice Mayor Monroe, Councilman Kiedis, and Councilman
Aldred voted aye; Mayor Kiselewski voted nay. By a vote of three ayes
