PURPOSE OF PUBLIC HEARING
' The purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear comments from the
Public concerning Bill 698, a proposed ordinance of the Village o£
North Palm Beach, Florida, rezoning a 17.68 acre parcel of island
located in Lake Worth, generally known as Little Munyon Island,
from zoning classification C-1A Limited Commercial District to C-oS
Conservation and Open Space District.
Luther M. Taylor, attorney representing Joan Taylor who has fee
simple title to Little Munyon Island, was present to address the
Council on behalf of Joan Taylor who was also present. Mr. Taylor
stated his client's objection to the proposed rezoning of Little
Munyon Island from Limited Commercial to Conservation and Open
Space District. Mr. Taylor stated that the Land Use Plan which was
adopted in 1989 designates the island as Conservation District, and
allows no use of the property by the property owner. Mr. Taylor
further stated that Florida Statute 164 allowed the Village one
year to resolve the conflict between zoning and the Land Use Plan,
and that the Village is two years late, although the statute
provides that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan takes precedence over
the zoning if the zoning is in conflict.
Mr. Taylor's contention is that the 1989 Comprehensive Land Use
Plan as adopted allows no beneficial economic use allowed by the
' owner of the property, and therefore constitutes a "taking" of the
property without compensation.
In summary, Mr. Taylor stated for the record that Mrs. Taylor was
present at this Public Hearing and objects on the grounds that

under the Village's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, there has been a
taking of her property without compensation.
Manny Grinn, 536 Greenway Drive, addressed the Council regarding
what he feels is governmental regulatory authority versus
individual property rights. Mr. Grinn stated that the Village
should not take the responsibility of protecting Little Munyon
Island, but should place that burden on other governmental agencies
such as county, state or federal authorities, as is being done with
the Linpro project.
With no further comments to be heard from the Public, the meeting
adjourned at 7:29 p.m.
