PUD opponents file petition for hearing | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

The opponents of the PUD-5 Town of Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan change related to Royal Poinciana Way are seeking an administrative hearing. This is in addition to their petitioning efforts to get the item on a ballot. The hearing is through what is left of the state's growth management apparatus. It could still end in a result where the state finds the change "not in compliance." The PUD-5 allows greater height and intensity of development as an option in this part of town. 

The Town seems to be having trouble assembling all the documents that are part of the public records request by those that are filing the hearing request. Click title for link to article. Here is the part about the records request.

Cooley and the challengers’ attorney, David Theriaque, still are waiting to inspect materials from their public records request last month.
Theriaque made a request on Nov. 13 to inspect all documents provided and received by any town personnel related to the zoning and comprehensive-plan ordinances. He said Town Attorney John Randolph called him on Dec. 3 to say the town was still compiling the documents and that they may be ready Dec. 9.
“By that point I didn’t have the ability to fly down to Palm Beach to inspect the records and complete the petition,” Theriaque said. “We should have had an opportunity to see these documents within a week to 10 days from the request. I thought I would have them well before Dec. 3 to review them prior to the petition for an administrative hearing. This is not different than any other type of public records request I’ve made around the state.”
Randolph said he notified Theriaque Wednesday that all the records were available. But, the town had “lots and lots of materials” available before that, Randoph said.
“It’s the most extensive public records request that the town has received since I can recall,” he said. “I have not reviewed all the records, but it’s several thousand pages. We’ve been cooperating from the outset. We began immediately searching for records, contacting members of the Royal Poinciana Review Committee, the zoning commission, and the planning and zoning department. I don’t believe it’s unusual for a request this extensive to take the number of days that this has taken.”
