DIRECTION RELATING TO PAYING FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR ROEBUCK ROAD BETWEEN STATE ROAD 7 AND JOG ROAD. THE DEVELOPER OF LENNAR HOMES MAINTAINED HE MADE A SHIFT OF AN ALIGNMENT FOR THE PROPOSED ROEBUCK ROAD TO ACCOMMODATE THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SFWMD) AND THE COUNTY, AND IN SO DOING LOST DEVELOPABLE ACREAGE. HE WISHED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR THE ROAD AND PROPOSED THAT THE COUNTY PAY FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE ACREAGE TO BE USED FOR ROAD PURPOSES. APPROVED WITH DIRECTION 6-2-98 County Engineer George T. Webb reported that the original Roebuck Road alignment approved by the County was along the northern boundary of the Lennar Homes project. An interlocal agreement with the City of West Palm Beach was executed indicating the northern alignment and provided for the Lennar Homes project to contribute $200 per unit to assist with mitigation costs. The alignment was later amended by the SFWMD, with Board concurrence, farther south. The agreement has been sent to the City of West Palm Beach for their approval and amendment of the interlocal agreement, he said. Mr. Webb also said that Lennar Homes representatives maintained they were being penalized by having to address a County road in an area that could have been developed. He proposed three options to address the issue:
(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Newell left the meeting.) The Board and staff addressed issues which included:
Martin Perry, agent for Lennar Homes, concurred that Roebuck Road was originally intended to benefit east/west travel, and pointed out that the Lennar Homes project had no direct access onto the proposed Roebuck Road. He maintained the issue was whether the interlocal agreement should be modified with the City of West Palm Beach to adopt the revised alignment as dictated by the SFWMD. Mr. Perry said that mitigation and the road alignment was noted on the Lennar Homes master plan. In effect, the land had already been taken, he said. MOTION that when and if the right-of-way is needed, the property will be condemned. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Foster. Mr. Webb remarked that purchasing in this area buys mitigation rights as well. He maintained that some of those mitigation dollars could be used in the right-of-way acquisition process. The Board and staff discussed where Roebuck Road was slated on the five-year plan and the possible boundary changes. They also addressed how the property could be developed if the road was removed from the Thoroughfare Plan. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Aaronson left the meeting.) Mr. Perry said that his client proposed to waive the mitigation fee. If Roebuck Road is not built, there would be no payment, and if the road should be built, not having to pay for mitigation would become the reimbursement, he said. AMENDED MOTION to waive the mitigation fee. The maker and seconder agreed. Commissioner Roberts verified with staff there would be no condemnation costs and the developer would be in effect, donating the property provided they paid no mitigation fee. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 4-1. Commissioner Roberts opposed. Commissioners Aaronson and Newell absent. RECESS At 12:40 p.m., the Vice-Chair declared a recess. RECONVENE At 2:05 p.m., The Board reconvened with Commissioners Aaronson, Foster, Lee, Newell and Roberts present. 9. MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC - 2:00 P.M. 9.A. RENEWAL OF ELEVATOR MAINTENANCE CONTRACT AT PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (PBIA). DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 6-2-98 John Forshaw, of Diversified Elevator Corporation, opposed the County's decision to extend the sole source supplier's contract for elevator maintenance at PBIA, and requested consideration to allow his company to bid for the contract. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus joined the meeting.) Commissioner Roberts asked staff to prepare a report on the elevator maintenance contracts for PBIA, the Courthouse and the Governmental Center. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner McCarty joined the meeting.) 9.B. FIRE CODE VIOLATIONS AT CENTURY VILLAGE WEST. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 6-2-98 Morris Westen contended there was a continued lack of action regarding fire code violations at Century Village West. Commissioner Aaronson confirmed with County Administrator Weisman that an intensive inspection of Century Village West had been done and issues were found and corrected. Staff had been informed by the Fire-Rescue Department there were no remaining substantial issues. Mr. Aaronson asked staff to set up a meeting with Mr. Westen, the president of Coalition of West Boca Raton Associations (COBWRA), the Management Company of Century Village West, the Fire Marshal and the people who inspect the fire alarms to resolve the issue. 9.C. PROSTITUTION AND UNPROTECTED SEX IN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS.
