Commission told restrictive covenant would protect Boynton Forest parcels; lift-station language included
Summary
The commission reviewed proposed restrictive-covenant language for Boynton Forest that would require a unanimous vote to lift; staff added language allowing the city to place a sewer lift station in the corridor to enable future septic-to-sewer conversions, and commissioners discussed developer participation and grant opportunities.
City staff presented proposed restrictive-covenant language for Boynton Forest that would extend protections beyond existing deed restrictions and require a unanimous commission vote to lift the covenant.
Staff and commissioners discussed wording inserted by city attorneys that would allow the city to place a sewer lift station within the corridor if needed to serve a proposed development. Commissioners asked whether the developer would pay construction costs or whether the city would need to contribute; staff said the developer is expected to participate and that the city could require an easement or payment for use of city property.
Commissioner Kelly and staff also raised a possible funding opportunity from the Lake Worth Lagoon septic-to-sewer conversion grant program; staff said the program might reduce out-of-pocket costs for nearby county residents who are water customers of the city, and pledged to follow up on eligibility and application timing.
No formal action on the covenant was recorded in the excerpt; staff said they will provide the covenant language for commissioners to review before any vote.
