Civility: Being "civil" is not a restraint on the First Amendment right to speak out, but it is more than just being
polite. Civility is stating your opinions and beliefs, without degrading someone else in the process. Civility requires
a person to respect other people's opinions and beliefs even if he or she strongly disagrees. It is finding a common
ground for dialogue with others. It is being patient, graceful, and having a strong character. That's why we say
"Character Counts" in Town of Loxahatchee. Civility is practiced at all Town meetings.
Special Needs: In accordance with the provisions of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), persons in need of a
special accommodation to participate in this proceeding shall within three business days prior to any proceeding,
contact the Town Clerk's Office, 155 F Road, Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, (561) 793-2418.
The RETAG Advisory Committee generally meets on the 4th Thursday of each month subject to
the direction of the Town Council. The December meeting is rescheduled due to Christmas
Holidays.

REGULAR AGENDA
1. Equestrian Trail Signage: The Town Council has determined that the ponds within
the Groves Town Center Equestrian Trail are for drainage and surface water management only;
horses are to be prohibited from entering the ponds. In addition, it has been reported that
motorized vehicles are using the trails. These vehicles are to be excluded.
Staff has asked the RETAG Advisory Committee to recommend models for trail signs at Groves
Town Center. The Palm Beach County Parks Department has provided examples for review by
the Committee. (REF: ATTACHMENT A): NOTE: IF YOU HAVE EXAMPLES, PLEASE
BRING THEM WITH YOU TO THE MEETING.
• Prohibition of horses in the trail ponds
• Prohibition of motorized vehicles
eecbobee Blvd. Overlay Signage- Rural Vista Guidelines signs recommendations
are presented on ATTACHMENT B-2) The Overlay (i.e. properties fronting Okeechobee
Boulevard) is currently within the AR Zoning District which has its own sign regulations (REF:
ATTACHMENT B-7). However, several of the uses proposed for the Overlay are more
commercial (i.e. CL and CLO Zoning Districts) in nature. The Commercial Zoning Districts
(REF: ATTACHMENT B8 to B11) have their own sign regulations.
Staff has requested input from the RETAG Advisory Committee regarding which, if any, of the
signs permitted in the Commercial (CL and CLO) zoning districts should be allowed for
businesses locating along Okeechobee Boulevard within the Overlay. Some examples of
Monument Sign design are presented on ATTACHMENTS B-3 to B-6. NOTE: IF YOU HAVE
EXAMPLES, PLEASE BRING THEM WITH YOU TO THE MEETING.
