portal. Commissioner Taylor asked questions regarding priority and duration of play.

with mixing the two sports and other specifications. Commissioner Michaud made
suggestions for ease of transition of people playing on the courts. Vice-Mayor Glas-

TOWN ATTORNEY, TOWN MANAGER, COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:
Town Attorney Baird wished everyone Happy Holidays. He reflected on Mayor O’Rourke tenure
with the Town as a leader and promoter. He stated that it has been an honor and privilege to serve
him. He thanked Mayor O’Rourke for his humor and charm.
Town Manager D’Agostino asked for input regarding a proposed project in the Downtown area
with a proposed train station and mixed use on 10th Street. He stated that Mayor O’Rourke was
leaving the Town with a great legacy. He spoke of the projects that Mayor O’Rourke has worked
to promote.
He explained that the Commission was in transition and the check signatures need to be updated.
He asked for consensus from the Commission to allow Commissioner/Mayor-Elect Roger
Michaud, Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro and Commission Linden to be the three signatures on the bank
accounts. The Commission came to consensus. A Resolution would come before the Commission
in the future to adopt this action. He provided his comments (see Exhibit “F). He announced that
Executive Assistant in the Assistant Town Manager/Human Resources Department Janet Miller
would be leaving. He read the job description (see Exhibit “F”). He stated that Janet Miller was a
staple staff member and would be sadly missed. She has performed many duties and does it with
great humor.
Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro asked that the proposed project be placed on a future agenda. Town
Manager D’Agostino agreed to place the item on a future agenda.
Mayor O’Rourke asked why Mayor-Elect Michaud has to wait to be sworn in when the position
of Mayor would be vacant as of January 1, 2023. Town Clerk Mendez clarified the questions for
the Commission. She explained that Commissioner Michaud’s resignation letter specifically states
March 13, 2023 as the final date of service. No elected official may hold duel positions, therefore,
the swearing in must take place after the election.
Commissioner Taylor submitted her comments (see Exhibit “G”). She stated that the Holiday Tree
Lighting was a wonderful event. Town Manager D’Agostino explained that the US1 crosswalk
was controlled by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Commissioner Taylor asked
if the Town could change the box on the corner of US1 and Park Avenue to allow additional time
for pedestrians to cross the road. She asked how could the process be expedited with FDOT. Town
Manager D’Agostino was not aware of how the Town could expedite a process that was not
controlled by the Town. Commissioner Taylor expressed deep concern regarding the intersection
and keeping children safe. Public Works Director Travieso explained that both jurisdictions would
be working together and the Town would express concerns and make recommendations for safety.
He stated that the FDOT was working on a significant project to improve safety throughout the
corridor. He explained that there are many moving parts with different agencies to improve safety
throughout US1.
Commissioner Linden recapped several events that took place over the past few weeks and several
more that would be taking place in the coming days. He explained how he met Mayor O’Rourke
and how he was introduced to local government. He thanked Mayor O’Rourke for all of his input
in helping him with his career in local government.
Commissioner Michaud spoke of events they attended over the past few days. He was heartbroken
for Executive Assistant Janet Perry and the loss of her father. He asked the Commission to consider
requesting that the Boat Show begin in the Town of Lake Park instead of North Palm Beach. He
announced that the Tree Lighting event was wonderful. He gave a brief history of how he met
Regular Commission Meeting December 07, 2022 Page 7

well represented. She explained that she attended the ULI Density Conference in Miami with the
Village of Palm Springs. She stated that the Town of Lake Park staff has been working on density
and other expansion projects throughout the Town. She stated that the Commission should thank
staff for moving the Town forward, keeping up with emerging topics and being on the leading
edge. We spoke of how she met Mayor O’Rourke and when they began working together. She
spoke of how great an ambassador he has been for this Town. She spoke of their trips to
Tallahassee. She stated that he will be missed.
Commissioner Taylor stated that she will miss Mayor O’Rourke and was sad that he was leaving.
Town Manager D’Agostino recapped when he began working for the Town. He spoke of all the
crime fighting measures taken since he began working for the Town. He stated that these measures
were possible because of the Commissioners worked together with staff. He stated that the Mayor’s
legacy would be that he was the face of the Town and the progress during his tenure. He thanked
the Mayor for what he had done, for the comradery he had built with staff and the residents. He
stated that we all feel like we are working together with the Commission and residents to move
the Town forward in a positive way.
Mayor O’Rourke stated that the Holiday Lighting event was great. He congratulated Mayor-Elect
Michaud and wished Ms. Patricia Leduc a Happy Anniversary. He reminded everyone of the
December 21, 2022 Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony at 4:00 P.M. in Lake Shore Park. He wished
everyone a Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas. He thanked staff. He stated that he loved working
for the Town. He stated that the best thing about not being Mayor was that he could see all the
great things that the Town has coming. He was very happy of the direction of the Town. He thanked
the residents for loving this Town. He thanked Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Captain
Gendreau for all the things he has done for the Town. He became emotional as he reflected on his
individual experience with each staff member. He explained that during his entire tenure he had

Item 10.
Summary Explanation/Background:
The Town Commission will consider on first reading an ordinance amending the Town’s existing
regulations for home occupations, to bring Town regulations into conformance with Florida statutes that
were approved by the legislature in 2021. The proposed changes are detailed in the attached staff report.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on November 7 and voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the ordinance to the Town Commission.
Recommended Motion:
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING.

Item 10.
TOWN OF LAKE PARK
TOWN COMMISSION
Public Hearing
Meeting Date: December 7, 2022
STAFF REPORT
Ordinance
240
Item 10.
Background
In 2021 the Florida Legislature adopted legislation affecting a local government’s
ability to regulate home occupations. This is codified as FS section “559.955
Home-based businesses; local government restrictions”. (See Attachment A for
statute)
In summary, State law now prohibits local governments from regulating or
restricting home-based businesses any different from other businesses in the local
government’s jurisdiction, except as provided in the legislation. The legislation
does include certain performance standards for neighborhood compatibility.
Review of new ordinances adopted to address the legislation indicates that many
communities are basically replacing their current language with that from the state
statute itself. This includes West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. North
Palm Beach has not yet amended its code.
The Town’s ordinance, as proposed, would also basically utilize the state
language, with minor additions to reflect Town ordinances. The current code
section (Attachment C) would be repealed and replaced with the new text shown in
Attachment B.
The ordinance also contains amendments to two zoning districts to replace the
term “home occupation” with “home-based business” for consistency with state
statute.
Analysis
Major Differences between current code and proposed language
The major differences between the Town’s existing regulations and those
mandated by the state are listed below.
Regulation Subject Town’s Current Code Proposed Code (per State
Statute)
Uses No retail sales, specific No prohibition on uses.
uses listed as prohibited However residential
character must be
maintained.
Restriction on Employees Must reside in home Resident + up to two non-
residents
Maximum area of 10 % No set limitation. However
residence to be used must be secondary to the
residential use
241
Item 10.
Signage None, unless required by Per local code -
state licensing law and Therefore, Town current
maximum of 24 square restriction will carry
inches forward.
See attachment C for See attachment B for
current Code proposed code
Protections for the Neighborhood
While the State clearly opened the door to a number of new types of home
businesses, the legislation did include some safeguards for residential
neighborhoods. This statutory language is shown below in blue italics.
1. Residential Appearance
The following section of the statute can be broadly construed to protect residential
neighborhood appearance, by requiring the following:
“As viewed from the street, the use of the residential property is consistent with
the uses of the residential areas that surround the property. External modifications
made to a residential dwelling to accommodate a home-based business must
conform to the residential character and architectural aesthetics of the
neighborhood.”
“The home-based business may not conduct retail transactions at a structure other
than the residential dwelling”
This statutory language, included in the Town’s proposed ordinance will serve as a
major safeguard, insuring the continuing appearance of a residential
neighborhood. In addition to retail transactions, the Town has added service
transactions as well.
2. Parking
The Town’s ability to control the type of uses that are allowed depends to a large
degree on parking. The legislation states, “… the need for parking generated by
the business may not be greater in volume than would normally be expected at a
similar residence where no business is conducted.”
Existing Town ordinances relating to parking in driveways and requiring hard
surfaces for parking will serve to prohibit customers from parking on the grass.
However, unless prohibited by Town Code or quantified, on-street parking would
be enforced by making a determination that the volume of vehicles was exceeding
what “would normally be expected at a similar residence where no business is
conducted.”
242
Item 10.
3. Trucks
The legislation states
“Local governments may regulate the use of vehicles or trailers operated or parked
at the business or on a street right-of-way, provided that such regulations are not
more stringent than those for a residence where no business is conducted. …..
Local governments may regulate the parking or storage of heavy equipment at the
business which is visible from the street or neighboring property. For purposes of
this paragraph, the term heavy equipment means commercial, industrial, or
agricultural vehicles, equipment, or machinery.”
Therefore the Town will continue to enforce “Section 30-35 - Parking of
commercial vehicles in residential districts” which dictates that:
“Commercial vehicles in residential districts— Parking conditions. Commercial
vehicles, with the exception of one taxicab, or high-capacity passenger van or
work van, or standard vehicle with equipment or commercial signage as
defined herein, shall not be parked, stored or left on any street, right-of-way,
swale or alley or on any private property in any residential districts, except that
commercial vehicles may be parked or stored in an enclosed garage on private
property in a residence district when completely screened from public view.”
4. Nuisances such as noise, odors etc.
The legislation allows the enforcement of local regulations in regards to noise,
odors, etc. Sections 78-151 (C) 4. and 5. of the proposed code address this. (See
attachment B.
Overall Impact on Town Neighborhoods
The above four sections in the statute provide the main tools to limit or prohibit
certain uses that are not compatible with a residential neighborhood, and these
have been included in the Town’s proposed ordinance.
With the limitation on parking many of the uses that the Town currently prohibits
would continue to be prohibited based on the parking volume they generate.
Included for example would be uses such as restaurants and grocery stores, and
high volume retail.
Certain uses that are currently prohibited such as hair salons and barber shops
could occur, with limited customers or appointment only. Retail uses such as a
bakery or pick up orders deli might also occur.
The requirement that business must be within the residence will eliminate uses
that would negatively impact a neighborhood.
The legislation does not supersede any current condominium declaration or any
future declaration of condominium adopted pursuant to chapter 718.
243
Item 10.
While it is not anticipated that there will be a large volume of requests for the new
types of uses that will be allowable, the possibility that some businesses will not
adhere to all the regulations exists and may require greater vigilance for code
enforcement.
While an impingement on home rule, the Town has no option but to comply with
the State Statute. The proposed ordinance will accomplish that.
The Town currently requires home businesses to have a business tax receipt from
the Town, and this will continue.
Legal Notice
Legal Notice was provided via a display ad in the Palm Beach Post, which ran
October 28, in accordance with state statute and the Town code for ordinances
that change permitted uses in zoning districts.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on November 7 and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the ordinance to the Town Commission.

Summary Explanation/Background:
At the September 21, 2022 Commission Meeting, the Town Commission voted to terminate
the Agreement for Tennis Center Management and Maintenance Service with Elite Sports
and Recreation Management and move forward with a new Request for Proposal (RFP).
The previous RFP in 2020 (see attachment) was for a tennis program only. However, the
bidders were also given the option to provide an alternate proposal identifying a secondary
proposed sport as well as the number of courts that will be used. The secondary proposed
sport requirements included the use of at least one tennis court and had to be played using
a racquet and/or paddle, including, but not limited to: Badminton, Pickleball and Soft
262
Item 12.
Tennis. As a requirement of the previous agreement with Elite Sports and Recreation
Management, the Town resurfaced and restriped the courts located in Kelsey and Lake
Shore Park. Currently we have two (2) tennis courts located in Kelsey Park (for the general
public) as well as two (2) tennis courts and eight (8) pickleball courts located in Lake Shore
Park.
At this time, staff would like direction from the Town Commission on the structure of the
new RFP. All courts can be restriped to either tennis and/or pickleball courts for a nominal
fee.
RFP Options:
1. Leave the tennis and pickleball courts in their current condition and find a provider that
can offer both a tennis and pickleball program. This would leave us with two (2) tennis
courts in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as two (2) tennis courts and eight
(8) pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park.
2. Restripe one (1) of the pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park, revert it to a tennis court
and find a provider that can offer both a tennis and pickleball program. This would
leave us with two (2) tennis courts in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as
three (3) tennis courts and four (4) pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park.
3. Restripe all of the pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park and revert them to tennis courts
and find a provider that can offer a tennis program only. This would leave us with two
(2) tennis courts in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as four (4) tennis courts
in Lake Shore Park. No pickleball courts will remain with this option.
Recommended Motion: At the Town Commissions discretion based on the information
provided.
263
Item 12.
NEXT STEPS: TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL PROGRAM
1. Restripe the 2 tennis courts located in Kelsey Park and turn them into 8 pickleball courts.
All pickleball courts will be located in Kelsey Park.
This will assist with the noise complaints from the 801 building and limit play to daylight hours.
2. Restripe the 8 pickleball courts located in Lake Shore Park and turn them into tennis courts.
This will give us a total of 4 tennis courts. All of which, will be located in Lake Shore Park.
We will not have enough tennis courts for tournament play. However, staff has discussed the possibility of partnering
with the County and City of Palm Beach Gardens to host tennis and pickleball tournaments at the Tennis and
Pickleball Center located at The Gardens North District Park.
3. The Town will publish a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for qualified tennis and pickleball instructors
to provide individual and group lessons.
The Town will choose which instructors will be allowed to provide lessons on the courts.
Each instructor will have to pay a fee to the Town to use the courts. We will have to determine if this will be a
monthly fee or an hourly rate based on their usage.
Only those instructors that have been pre-qualified by the Town, will have the ability to teach tennis and pickleball
lessons.
The contact information for each instructor will be provided on the Town’s website and posted at the tennis and
pickleball courts along with instructions.
A customer satisfaction survey will be created by staff and provided to participants after each session. Town staff
will use the survey to determine whether or not the instructors are providing adequate instruction.
4. We will not lock the gates to any Tennis or Pickleball Facility.
PBSO and staff will help patrol the area to make sure no damage occurs to the courts.
Staff has obtained a proposal to add additional surveillance cameras to all courts. The proposal includes the electrical
work to power the cameras.
The Town will need to eventually hire a Parks Ranger to monitor both parks during normal operating hours.
5. The operating hours for the tennis courts will be from 6:30 am – 10:00 pm and the pickleball courts will be open
from 6:30 am – 8:00 pm.
6. The operating hours for Kelsey Park and Lake Shore Park will remain open from 6:30 am – 10:00 pm.
7. We will set up an online system for players to reserve 50% of the available tennis courts (2 of 4) and 50% of the
available pickleball courts (4 of 8) during specific dates/time periods.
We will send out a survey to all residents to determine what hours will be reserved for open play.
This is to be self-managed by the players with minimal intervention from Town Staff.
When a court is not reserved, the court remains available for open play until the date/time of the next reservation.
We should be able to do this with the recreation function of the software from Tyler Technologies. However, we
may have to find a temporary solution first.
Reservations will be required two hours in advance.
PBSO will need access to account to verify the reservations.
