Hi All,
By AUTHORITY of :
Chapter 162, F. S., Ordinance No. 87-15 adopted on August 25, 1987, effective October 1, 1987; as amended. Unified Land Development Code, Section 4.14.
APPOINTING AUTHORITY: Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
In October, 1997, Palm Beach County changed from a multi-member Code Enforcement Board to a Special Magistrate process. Eight attorneys were appointed by the County Administrator to sit as Code Enforcement Special Magistrate.
The Special Magistrates hold hearings on matters of relevance on the first Wednesday of the month at 2300 Jog Road, in the Vista Center at 9:00am.
Today your BLOGMEISTER along with the President of UCO attended a hearing chaired by a Special Magistrate. Key members of the Pro-Active Committee were also present to include:
Phil Shapkin, Barbara Shapkin, Jackie Karlan, Sandy Cohen, Honey Sager and Jeanette Veglia. Sworn testimony was heard from Honey Sager, Jeanette Veglia, and Dave Israel. Sworn testimony was also heard from Andrew Waldman a co-owner of the Turtle Bay Golf Course.
The subject of the hearing was the Turtle Bay Golf Course, specifically, the removal of the fence that once divided the Residents parking lot, accessed via Golfs Edge; from the Public parking lot accessed via Haverhill Road, thus allowing vehicular traffic to mutually access these lots from either access road; and further permitting vehicles to enter via Haverhill Road and drive directly into Century Village by various access points overland.
Such access was specifically prohibited by a Variance granted by the BCC in 1993, as a condition for allowing the Then, Course owner, Brad Dressler to construct the Haverhill Road Public entrance.
REF: http://www.pbcgov.com/PZB/Zoning/resolutions/1993/R-93-0333.pdf
After due consideration, the special Magistrate ordered Mr. Waldman to re-install the fence within 30 days, and also; "to cut the grass". Failure to re-install the fence within 30 days will bring a fine of $150.00 per day until the property is brought into compliance with the order.

You go Boy. Further thanks to all that have attended.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU ONE and ALL....Keep that WATCHFUL eye!
ReplyDeleteBravo CV warriors and a giant thank you for your dedication and persistance and all the time you have dedicated to the betterment of the village and upholding the law!
ReplyDeleteI assume, Waldman will appeal.
ReplyDeleteGood show, now get him to operate the golf course as a responsible business owner or sell the thing to another operator. CV residents do not want of a housing development but would appreciate a well maintained golf course in their backyard. Keep going at it. Andre
ReplyDeleteWho is 1....who is Pressman....are they not anoymous?
ReplyDeleteHi Howard,

Some of our BLOGGERS do not want their name on the INTERNET. To accomodate this, they may use a "screen name". BLOG Administration has a complete list of all actual names and the associated Screen Name, if any.
So, yes they are anonymous to Cyberspace, but not to the Admins. It seems a reasonable compromise.
Any suggestions you might have on this process would be appreciated.

People should face reality, the golf course is gone and will not be coming back. Maybe someone will open up the driving range but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteBack on subject: Can we court order Waldman to run the place as a golf course like that Joe Pesci movie The Super? (While the other place across the street is not causing any havoc with us, I would not trust Waldman to build a Jenga tower, let alone a new millennium village as our wacky neighbor.)
ReplyDeletePressman get you head out of the sand. Would you operate a business that was failing? The golf course has not been a viable business for quite a few years. If it were Levy would not have sold it. Wake up people! I don't want a housing development there but something has to change. The golf course is gone.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct: I have read that it is the trend in other condos that golf courses are losing propositions. On a similar subject: CV was hardwired to force people to use the coin-op laundry that Levy profited from at one time. Levy turned control of the coin laundry to the people, but you can't put a Maytag in your apartment.
ReplyDeleteHi Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply. But if I recall, the posting as Anon. also required a USERNAME and a PASSWORD which means that your ADMIN. always new who was leaving a comment.
The make-believe nom-de-plume is a mask for the other users of this site.
Hi Howard,
ReplyDeleteNovember 9, 2009 6:31 PM,
Correct, except for one point; Admin. does not know your password; and under true anonymous posting we did not know who the anons were.
We believe that requireing a real name, address and telephone number; even though it is behind a screen name, will help preclude some of the really nasty posts that occasionally appeared in the old "cvblogandchat"
So far so good, only time will tell.
