Wellington Village Council members agreed at a workshop Thursday to draw up a conceptual plan for a Palm Beach Community College campus at the village’s K-Park site on State Road 7.

The plan will be drawn up through meetings between village staff and PBCC officials, returning to the council next month.

Some council members bemoaned missing the opportunity of attracting a four-year college, while others raised concerns about moving away from K-Park’s intended purpose of providing athletic fields to meet the recreation service levels required in the village’s comprehensive plan. [more]
More Office Space At Proposed SR 7 Plaza

Wellington’s Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board approved a site plan last week to develop the land along State Road 7 between the Mall at Wellington Green and the village’s “K-Park” property.

The 16-acre site at the corner of Pierson Road on the west side of SR 7 is set to become a mixed-use development called the Village Green Center containing both office and commercial uses, including retail and a restaurant. [more]

Wellington Women’s Club marked its 31st anniversary on Sunday, May 4 at the Mayacoo Lakes Country Club. The event, titled “Champagne and Couture,” featured a brunch, fashion show and silent auction. Entertainment was provided by violinist Nicholas Priore, who performed prior to the fashion show. Fashions were provided by Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon and JuJu Designs, with jewelry courtesy Premier Designs. Commentator for the fashion show was Denise O’Sullivan. Proceeds from the event went to representatives of the YWCA Harmony House, a shelter for abused women and their children, as well as college scholarships for high school seniors.
RPB Makes Reuse-Water Plan For Course

Royal Palm Beach officials are looking forward to an arrangement with Palm Beach County that will allow the village to provide an alternate water source to irrigate the golf course planned for Royal Palm Beach Commons Park.

Last week, Village Manager David Farber told the Royal Palm Beach Village Council he had begun negotiations with the county water utility department to allow the village to tap into a reuse water line that will supply the Florida Power & Light power plant under construction at 20-Mile Bend. [more]

The hundreds of participants in the American Cancer Society’s Acreage/Loxahatchee Groves Relay for Life last Friday evening were applauded by friends and family as they began the trek that would keep one member of each team walking around the purple-edged track for the following 17 hours.

To keep spirits up, the participants were entertained through the night and into Saturday morning by local groups including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, school bands, the Chili Chicks and local dance academies. [more]
Groves Council OKs Churches, Retail Center

The Loxahatchee Groves Town Council approved a development order amendment and two site plans for development projects Tuesday, all proposals exempted from the town’s one-year development application moratorium enacted late last year.

The projects, two church buildings and a retail center, are exempt from the moratorium because they had already begun the Palm Beach County review process before the town incorporated. As such, they must adhere to county standards, although the town council must also certify the town’s approval of the projects. [more]
ITID Strives To Keep Assessment Rates Low

With an eye to the budgeting process for fiscal year 2008-09, Indian Trail Improvement District staff described modest plans for projects to members of the ITID Board of Supervisors at their workshop Wednesday.

Before the start of the workshop, District Administrator Chris King told the Town-Crier the number of new projects in the district would be limited in order to keep resident assessments low. “As we begin planning the budget for next year, we are working on the basis of keeping assessment rates essentially at the same level,” he said.

Lox, ITID Officials Aim To Satisfy Water Needs

With officials in The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves worried about their ability to fight fires and keep residential and nursery well fields fueled, there is a move on to work together on a comprehensive water plan that will keep enough water in canals to meet local needs.

A major concern is safety. Firefighters depend on water from canals to put out fires in most parts of The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves because of a scarcity of hydrants. [more]
