Road for widening of Burns Road from I-95 to Prosperity Farms Road. Mr. Walker
explained that Palm Beach Gardens has a shortfall in funding. The Interlocal Agreement
between Palm Beach Gardens and the County would have to be modified to earmark the
funds. Concurrence from the Village would be required.
During discussion, the Village Council requested that Mr. Walker provide a list of projects
included in the County's five-year plan, as well as a copy of the existing Interlocal
Agreement. Mr. Walker also stated that there is no plan to widen Prosperity Farms Road
with additional lanes in the County's five-year plan. Mr. Walker agreed to furnish a
"priority list" of projects, other than the Burns Road project, that would be funded from
impact fees.
The Council asked Mr. Walton, Director of Palm Beach Gardens Planning and Zoning,
to help arrange meetings between Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach for the
purpose of discussing many matters which affect both cities, such as annexation of
Pirates Cove, the water plant area, resolving drainage problems at Omega, joint interests
at PGA Blvd., and Ellison Wilson Road. The consensus of the Village Council is that
these projects which need to be resolved should be done concurrently with discussions
on the impact fees.
Discussion regarding the earmarking of impact fees will continue at the next workshop
session on March 28, 1996.
