The next Board of County Commissioners meeting is on Monday April 28th, at 301 North Olive Avenue, West Palm Beach, 6th floor (Governmental Center), at 9:30am.
This meeting is on "text initiation", which is the exact same issue heard on 4/11 by the Planning Commission, only this time, the BCC (Board of County Commissioners) make the "real decision".
This is not a "critical" meeting; however, in light of the 4/11 meeting, it has taken on a more important role. If you can attend the meeting, it would again show a united front by our community!
For those of you who are unable to attend, would you please consider sending an email (mention Minto West in your subject line) but this time to the Board of County Commissioners. Some things you might want to mention:
1. Remind them that their advisory board, appointed by them, i.e. the PBC Planning Commission on April 11, 2014, by a unanimous 11 to 0 vote, recommended NOT to initiate.
2. That the text initiation be denied as inconsistent with State law, our PBC Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and incompatible with the surrounding area.
3. This property already used up it's allowance of a 'unique' process under Agricultural Enclave.
4. Request that future meetings concerning the Minto West project be held in the late afternoon/evening hours at the Vista Center, or in much larger venue where all can attend and be heard.
These are the names, phone numbers and email address of the BCC. First I list them individually and at the bottom, I just group all of the email addresses together so you can cut and paste them into an email.
