Hank Skokowski, Land Planner, addressed the Council on behalf of the 1980 Florida Realty Building Company, re: the intent of Resolution 10, approving as a multiple family PUD the plat of the PGA Club Cottages to be located on the 31.276 -acre "M -7 Site" of the Master Plan for the PGA National PCD. During the discussion re: the deficiencies noted at the Regular Meeting of February 7, 1980, Mr. Peter Pimmentel, Chazrman of the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District, and Mr. Howard Searcy, Consulting Engineer for the VGA National" project, addressed the Council re: the development's "substantial compliance" eith the DRI in regards to the location of the marsh lands within the project. (The site plan for the project indicates the location of lakes in the artUs that were delineated as marsh lands on the Master Development Plan. The City ic responsible for assuring that "substantial compliance" has been met.) Hessrs. Searcy and Pimmentel explained that the purpose of the marshes envisioned in the DRI was to act as an absorber of the nutrients that could be produced by residential, commercial, and recreational focillties before they are discharged into puolic waters. These marshes act as a first -line defense where particularly in the golf course a-, -a there is heavy fertilization. On the original plan, some of the marshes were not located -t an "iceai' position to absorb the nuLrienU:. They had to make adju;tmcnt,; in the field as to the final gradinq plan for the golf course; and tho other recreational areas were produced so that they would put the marsh areas in the most ideal locations. They made some of the changes (i.e., "trade- offs" of lakes for marsh lands) on that basis and some on the basis of the prox- imity of surrounding developed areas; however, they wili probably havf- 10 -15% more marsh area than was contemplated by the DRI. Th s is a subject of on -going discussion with consultants on the project, as well as the regulatory agencies, including the DFR, Corps of Engineers, the City, and the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District. By verbal communication only, the regulatory agencies have recognised that some of these changes would be necessary, and have agreed to the developer going ahead and making the changes; but they are to keep the agencies ® updated is certain sections of the project are completed, so that a running inventory can be made of where the marsh pods are. City Council Regular Meeting, 2/21/80 Page 4 Prior to the issuance of building permits for this project, they will be making their first submission to the agencies, bringing them ull -to -date on where the marshes were relocated.
