Home Care In North Palm Beach, FL

One of the many reasons people flock to Florida, both permanently and for vacation, is the weather and what better way to take full advantage of it than to dine outside. Then take it up one more notch, dine outside and on the water! Whether the view is of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Earman River or South Lake, that's good stuff and enough to get your landlocked, snowed-in friends up north super jealous when you post pics on Instagram (not suggesting you do that, but if you really want to...).

We have so many waterfront restaurant options in our county we'll be delivering this wisdom in geographic bites.

For a dining experience with a view that's worth heading to north-central Palm Beach County — think Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Singer Island, Palm Beach Shores, and Riviera Beach — here they are:

Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm want approval to annex land. Voters in Juno Beach, Lake Park, North Palm and Tequesta will elect council members.

PALM BEACH GARDENS — Some of the biggest issues on northern Palm Beach County ballots on March 19 don't involve candidates.

Thousands of voters in unincorporated Palm Beach County areas near North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens will decide whether to have either municipality annex their properties. In four neighborhoods, the village and the city are competing to absorb the same communities.

Voters in Juno Beach, Lake Park, North Palm Beach and Tequesta will select members of their town and village councils. In the case of Juno Beach, voters will elect a mayor for the first time, a position council members in the past have appointed from within their ranks. There are no other elections in either Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 19. For more information, go online to www.votepalmbeach.gov.

Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach: Annexation votes

For an annexation to take effect, a municipality must receive 50% plus one of voter approval.

Palm Beach Gardens wants to annex five areas totaling 1,316 acres and 8,352 residents, with much of them in one district stretching from Donald Ross Road south to PGA Boulevard.

North Palm Beach wants four neighborhoods out of the Palm Beach Gardens annexation area that include 182 homes. The village’s entire annexation area spans three zones and is a little over 200 homes total.

North county annexation:Gardens, North Palm battle to add 4 communities in March election

In a move election officials say may be unprecedented, voters in those four neighborhoods will cast ballots on both proposals in the March 19 election. The courts are expected to resolve the issue if majorities favor annexing into both North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens.

Some residents say they like things the way they are without any local government annexing them. Many have planted “vote against annexation” signs in their yards or rallied against the initiative outside Palm Beach Gardens City Hall.

Others see benefits to it. If annexed, a resident would gain access to the municipalities’ police, fire and recreation services. Some may even see lower property tax bills, depending on their home’s assessed value.

Officials both in Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach have said the proposed annexations are part of a larger strategy to round out the city’s boundaries and provide more representation and control over development and redevelopment in those areas.

Palm Beach County won’t stand in the way of either Palm Beach Gardens or North Palm Beach as they try to annex residential areas that the county now governs.

It doesn’t, however, want to lose control of six county-owned parcels that fall within one of Palm Beach Gardens’ five proposed annexation areas. Together, they total 20.7 acres, with the largest of them the 13.9-acre Juno Park.

County commissioners this week directed staff to send a letter to Palm Beach Gardens, saying they want to maintain ownership of the six parcels regardless of what happens with the annexation vote on March 19.

“These annexations are not a surprise to anybody,” said County Commissioner Maria Marino, who represents north county. “This is only 20 acres. The reason why the county wouldn't want the land to be annexed is because the county has its control when it is unincorporated.

“I don’t see why we should oppose the annexation. I believe we should give voters the opportunity.”

Juno Park largest of six parcels Palm Beach County wants to retain from annexation

The six parcels are all within Area 1 of Palm Beach Gardens’ plans. It is the largest of the five areas, covering 1,244 acres, 3,607 homes and 7,760 people.

As it stands now, all neighborhoods in Area 1 would become part of Palm Beach Gardens if a simple majority of all the area’s voters — 50% plus one — cast ballots in favor of the move, even if entire communities vote to oppose it.

The six parcels the county wants to keep control of are:

Ron Ferris, Palm Beach Gardens’ city manager, said the city’s response depends on the outcome of the annexation vote, which is set for March 19.

“The city would be open to a dialogue with the county to determine the best way to serve the residents in the area by utilizing any available property,” Ferris said Tuesday.

County commission questions lawyers for Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach on annexation plans

In four places, Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach will compete to annex the same neighborhoods in March. Officials acknowledge that this type of competition is rare, and say the courts likely would have to resolve the matter of residents' vote to have both municipalities annex their lands.

Attorneys for both Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach appeared before the commission Tuesday to speak about their annexation efforts.

R. Max Lohman, the Palm Beach Gardens attorney, said his city has “has worked with the Village of North Palm Beach as far back as 1989, trying to resolve disagreements about their future annexation areas It has just been to no avail. They have agreed to disagree over the years unfortunately.”

Lohman told commissioners that North Palm Beach’s proposed annexation areas do not meet the “compactness” requirement for annexation per state law, which means that the concentration of property in each area must not create pockets of unincorporated land within it or boundaries that are too winding.

Leonard Rubin, village attorney for North Palm Beach, directly refuted Lohman’s claim.

“I don't agree with (Lohman’s) analysis about the creation of enclaves and I don't agree that the city cooperated with the village,” said Rubin. “Palm Beach Gardens has no interest in meeting with us.”

Residents in Hidden Key, a neighborhood east of U.S. 1 off Jack Nicklaus Drive that Palm Beach Gardens has proposed annexing, have raised a similar question about the shape and size of Area 1. They have asked the city to create an annexation district exclusively for their neighborhood, wanting their votes to stand on their own and not be blended into the other communities in the zone.
