RESOLUTION A,_ r1r. 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. If they are not approved, the developer
has the latitude to make the required changes.
The City will be in attendance at these submissions; and provided a copy
of the record drawings and the approvals.
