PALM BEACH COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS GIVE GREEN LIGHT TO REFLECTION BAY

-

WITH PROVISOS

-

The Board of County Commissioners greenlighted the Reflection Bay project today, with a number of conditions:

-

1) A PBSO substation is to be built first.
-

2) There is to be a fence.
-

3) There is to be a "trolley" between CV and Reflection Bay, if CV so desires.
-

4) There is to be a small Golf Course, behind the Southampton Association buildings, circa 14 acres.
-
5) Enhanced testing for toxic pollution such as arsenic and other pesticides required.

-

Of particular concern is the clear lack of understanding on the part of the BCC as to the function of UCOs actual role in CV governance! They seem to think UCO is a HOA, or A Condo Association or perhaps a Master Association; wrong on all of the above!!

-

Items 2, 3 and 4 above were stipulated to be presented to UCO for it's approval. This is unacceptable, as UCO has no such authority to approve such events. These would all have to be presented to the Delegate Assembly; and as you can see there are MANY details to be developed.

-

The final blow was the proviso, that if said approval was not received within 60 days, the project would go forward anyway.

-

The vote was four to three in favor of Reflection Bay, with Commissioners Burdick, SantaMaria and Valeche voting against this taking of our In Perpetuity rights.

-

Rig for heavy weather.
