“It means a lot to me for somebody who wants to come into our town and be a good neighbor,” Danowski said.Ĭouncilman Dave DeMarois said he liked the idea of providing recreation for residents and the surrounding area, and especially providing more tax revenue for the town. “If not, we will look at other options.”Ĭouncilwoman Laura Danowski thanked the developer for being conscious of the wetlands, preservation of trees, using ecologically friendly building concepts and working within the space that is already there. “It lowers the noise so it will be less than 50, so it will meet the requirements all day long,” she said. Natanson said the go-carts can be equipped with mufflers that reduce the noise 50 percent. Mayor Robert Shorr pointed out that the town’s noise ordinance changes at 10 p.m. The developer plans to hire a consultant to make recommendations for noise control.

Lighting will be in compliance with town code requirements to avoid spillover to surrounding areas, Natanson said, adding that operation of the park will be from 10 a.m. The entertainment park plans to have around-the-clock security and access to non-park areas will be restricted.

“We’re trying to preserve all the wetlands and mitigate impact on the vegetation,” Natanson said, adding that the facility plans to have about 80 people working there upon opening and about 120 by the fifth year.

She added that the park would utilize solar panels and make use of rainwater and ecologically friendly air conditioning. The value of the finished park would be about $13 million. She said the park would have communitywide benefits and generate revenue for the town. The main building would be teardrop shaped, reminiscent of teardrop-shaped racing helmets, and surrounded by the racetracks. Natanson said the first draft of the proposal preserves most of the trees on the property. “The commercial designation that we propose would allow the uses that we envision for the site.” “It will be a somewhat complicated project from a planning standpoint, but nothing that your code wouldn’t allow,” she said. When it comes back, we would have to process a rezoning and also a site plan approval, which most likely would be a commercial planned development.”īrinkman said the developer plans to comply with all the town’s regulations, including noise, lighting, setbacks and vibration. “We have met with town staff, and as this property does not have a land use designation associated with it right now that would allow for the commercial recreation to be developed further in your town, we would have to process a large-scale land use amendment, which requires that it be transmitted to the state for review. “Obviously, it is an existing paintball facility,” she said. The current zoning is commercial recreation, carried forward from county zoning before the town incorporated, although the town’s land use designation is rural residential with one housing unit per five acres. Duck Puddle Farm is to the north with Palm Beach State College to the east, and to the west is unincorporated Palm Beach County.” “It’s about 19.5 acres, and it’s located in the southwest boundary of the town’s borders. “You are all familiar with this property,” Brinkman said. Joni Brinkman with Urban Design Kilday Studios said her firm is working with the developers to assist them through the process. She added that the developer will work to preserve trees and water bodies on the property. Natanson said the owner, Nelson Piquet, is a former Brazilian racecar driving champion who also works with recognized race-track designers.
