Landscaping Update

Because Precision Landscaping’s many clients switch to bi-weekly service November 1st, they mistakenly missed us the week of November 4th. As our contract states, bi-weekly service will start November 15th. Be advised they will be servicing our community this week, 11/11, and the week of 11/18, then transition to bi-weekly service.

Also, starting Tuesday 11/12, the overgrown hedges in the Estate Home section will be trimmed.

Thank you for your patience while this infestation is eradicated.

Your Board of Directors

Allamanda Drive zoning changes removed from Thursday’s North Palm Beach council agenda

The developer of Prosperity Village, proposed for the northwest corner of Allamanda Drive and Prosperity Farms Road, has decided against moving forward yet on the development, according to Jeremy Hubsch, Village of North Palm Beach community development director. Zoning and future land use changes that would add density at that location, already approved by the village planning board, were to be considered for final approval by the North Palm Beach Village Council on Thursday, Oct. 24.

However, according to Hubsch, the developer is considering changing the site plan for the property, which would restart the whole process. The developer, New Urban Communities, had planned to add eight townhomes and 12 single family homes on that property.

So far, this year’s only remaining North Palm Beach planning board meetings, according to Hubsch, are Nov. 14 and Dec. 12.

Hurricane Shutters Stalled Firefighters at Royal Palm House Fire

Leaving your hurricane shutters up after a storm can be dangerous, such as the problems it caused in this Royal Palm Beach story.

Authorities said the shutters, up a month after Hurricane Dorian, made it hard to find the fire’s source. They want homeowners to take their shutters down.

Development planned on Allamanda Drive

NOTE: This item has been removed from the Village Council Agenda. See: allamanda-drive-zoning-changes-removed

The North Palm Beach Village Council is expected at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 to consider final approval of a future land use map amendment and rezoning to add density at the southwest corner of Prosperity Farms Road and Allamanda Drive, one of the two roads leading into Siena Oaks.

The changes are to pave the way for the development of Prosperity Village—a community of 8 townhomes and 12 single-family homes, proposed by New Urban Communities, Delray Beach on 2.33 acres.

The North Palm Beach Planning Commission already approved both changes on Sept. 10. They call for a future land use map amendment that would change the property from low density residential to medium density residential. They also call for the property’s rezoning from an R-1 single family dwelling district to a PUD planned unit development district of four parcels.

The developer says its proposed community would be targeting empty nesters and professionals. Single family homes are slated to run 2,700-3,400 square feet and sell in the $800,000 range, while the townhouses are expected to run some 1,900 square feet and sell for about $500,000 each.

The city of Palm Beach Gardens has notified the North Palm Beach Planning Commission that it will not allow any access to or from the development via Allamanda Drive. The developers say traffic added by the development would tally 174 trips per day.
