To: Members of the Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning Board, and County Commissioners
The Coalition represents thousands of households living around the Mizner Trail Golf
Course, which is the subject of a request to change zoning to permit building of 390 housing units
on the golf course. We have read the Development Order Amendment Request submitted by the
Siemens Corp, the development company and would like to respond to numerous inaccuracies
and misrepresentations in that request.
The Siemens Development Request states that their proposal meets the Palm Beach
County Comprehensive Plan future land use development guidelines of 8 dwelling units per acre.
However, the Master Plan which established the Boca Del Mar P.U.D. allocated all Master Plan
"units" available in Boca Del Mar to the various homeowner associations within Boca Del Mar.
The previous County Commission decision in 2008 which rejected the previous development plan
acknowledged that there were no available units to be "recaptured" in future housing proposals
and thus the golf course was to remain as green space. This discussion is reflected in the
minutes of that 2008 meeting when the vote to reject was taken. It is the contention of the
Coalition, and the homeowners it represents, that there is no justification on any basis to change
the Master Plan to accomodate a golf course owner who made a bad business decision in buying
a property not zoned for housing.
It is ingenuous for Siemens Development to argue that the deteriorating condition of the
golf course justifies a Master Plan change in order to build houses when the owner of the golf
course, who has an agreement to sell to Siemens contingent upon getting a zoning change ,
created the problem by shutting down the golf course in order to "blackmail" the community into
supporting a development proposal.
Further, Siemens tries to justify development by stating that "it is not probable that the
subject property will ever retum to being a golf course" because there is no demand for gOlf.
Apart from just being Mr. Siemens' opinion, once again there is no proof that this is so. In Judge
Gerber's opinion in 2008, rejecting the suit brought by Mr. Bliss and Mr. Comparato, he stated that
the owners had not substantiated their claim that a golf course could not be profitable. In fact, he
noted that the owners had not managed the course in such a way for,jt to be profitable. Not only
is there a potential demand for golf as demonstrated by the planned profitability of the new Osprey
Pt. Golf Course in W . Boca Raton, but there are several golf courses in Boca that have been
bought by private investors since 2008.
Yes, the golf course has become the "attractive nuisance" Mr. Siemens claims, but that is
wholely due to the neglect by the owner of the golf course and it is certainly not a justification to
re-zone the property for a development that brings no benefit to the homeowners of Boca Del Mar,
who, in fact, will face lower values for their properties, destruction of valuable green space and
increased traffic and crowding in schools.
Once again the County has certified a development proposal for this golf course based on
County traffic performance stand'ards These are minimum standards Fully-developed, this
project would lead to 800 additional cars on new roads lying close to ex~sting homes and emptying
onto existing roads already heavily-travelled. The last development proposal for Mizner was
certified also by the County Staff as to traffic impact, but the proposal was still rejected by the
County because the property was planned to remain as golf course or green space in perpetuity
and would , if approved, violate the integrity of a model planned unity development.
With regard to housing values, Mr Siemens maintains that pro,perty values will be
improved by his development. Given the current housing market and existing inventory of unsold
houses and condos, which most experts feel will take years to work down , it may be years before
demand warrants new housing. There certainly is no demand now, and if new housing were
warranted, there are plenty of other pfaces in Palm Beach County where it could be built without
destroying this existing lanned community. It is a truism in real estate that new construction will
attract buyers more than existing housing at the same price point. Homeowners in communities
around the golf course have already seen their property values fall because of the clOSing of the
golf course and the recession. Building houses right behind them win only compound their
problem .
The argument that the project would result in increased revenue for the County is also
specious. First, impactand permit fees are one-time expenses so that the real, on-going ad
valorem tax revenue would be only the $2,500,000 projected; secondly, that would be offset by a
decline in revenue from existing homes due to their decreased value with the loss of a golf course
and green space; thirdly, that tax income would only be after the project is fully built which Mr.
Siemens acknowledges would take 10 years; and finally, that amount of additional tax revenue is
a minute portion of the County budget. In a meeting with Cmmr. Abrams, he acknowledged that
the tax revenue argument is not compelling enough to justify a zoning change.
Mr. Siemens stated that there is future uncertainty for the golf course because of a 2003
agreement between the BDMIA and the property owner restricting the property's use to a golf
course, which expires in 2012. Aside from the fact that only the County can make zoning changes
affecting the use of the golf course, this agreement is probably an illegal document since it was
never approved by a majority of unit owners in Boca Del Mar. Please see Exhibit 1, a letter from
Sachs, Sax and Klein to the BDMIA dated 2/18/05 , listing the reasons why the amendment to the
original Declaration of Restrictions may be invalid . Finally, the original Declaration of Restrictions
provided that said restrictions could be automatically extended beyond 12131/2012 for successive
periods of 10 years and that any amendments must be approved by 75% of unit owners. So there
is no "drop dead" date of 2012 and the amended declaration referred to by Mr Siemens has
never been approved by unit owners.
Mr. Siemens refers to a mailing to homeowners that had positive feedback We don't
know where he gets this information. Public meetings for homeowners scheduled by the BDMIA
Board to get input uniformly had negative feedback. In fact, Mr. McDermott, President of BDMIA,
polled attendees at each meeting: all in attendance objected to the development and expressed a
preference for the property to remain as a golf course or green space, with a public park or
recreation faciltiy being other possibilities. The overwhelming negative feedback is reflected in the
petitions and resolutions in this package. They are signed by most of the communities around the
golf course and represent more than 2,000 households. Finally, acknowledging the overwhelming
opposition of the community. the BDM IA Board recentjy voted to oppose the proposed
development. (See Exhibit 2) .
Althou9h Mr.Siemens maintains no viable use for the property has been brought forth, his
view is understandable: the owner of the golf course has no interest in an alternative proposal
because he wants to make money by selling the property, and Mr Siemens wants to make money
by building houses .
Should the County not oblige the developer once again by refusing to change the zoning,
alternatives should be explored . The golf course owner could sell the property to the County or
the Boca Raton Beach and Parks district for use as a public park or recreation facility or to a
public/private partnership consisting of the BDMIA and a governmental entity at the current
appraised value. Or it could be restored by the owners to its original use as a golf course or sold
to a group of investors who could restore it as a golf course. The Coalition and the homeowners
of Boca Del Mar cannot make decisions controlling the future of the property; however, we have
indicated to our representative, Cmmr. Abrams , the Beach and Parks District and the BDMIA that
we would like to work with whomever to develop a creative solution that would be to "the great
benefit of the community".
For all the above reasons, we respectfully request that the P,lanning and Zoning Board
and the County Commissioners deny, once again, a proposal to build houses on the Mizner Trail
Golf Course and provide leadership to help find a permanent solution that will contribute to the
quality of life in Boca Del Mar, not detract from it.
The master plan for the Boca Del Mar PUD has forever identified subject
site excluSively for golf course and ancillary uses and has perpetuaUy
been planned, designed, and constructed as feature for the adjacent
residential components of Boca Del Mar rather than as a stand-alone,
adjacent parcel of 'Iand with no direct relation to or interaction with other
parts of the Boca Del Mar community as a holistic environment. To this
end, the conversion of this integral master plan component from an open
space golf course format to a deve~loped residential building state:
• confiicts with the original design concept of Boca Del Mar;
• discounts and adversely affects the planning, locational
configuration of adjacent residential areas;
• undermines the purposeful placement and orientation of existing
residential buildings along a scenic open space corridor,
• neglects the longstanding promise to property owners, renters, and
com ,mun.ity members alike of a:
ocomprehensive and holist,ic open space element as part of a
omaster planned development program;
o compromises the integrity of the Boca Del Mar master plan; and
oundermines the intended stability behind the concept of a master
planned communi,t y.
The applicant also alludes to difficu 'l ties encountered by golf courses
and goes further to identify other facilities in Palm Beach County
that have endured difficulty and sought transformation to
alternative uses. However, the applicant fails to identify any of the
measures taken by these other courses to overcome adversities.
The applicant also fails to draw similarities between these sites and
the subject site in order to establish the relevance of site
comparisons.

While a quantitative decline in customer base may impact
business receipts, such does not render the eXisting use
assignment (i.e. golf course) or physical' placement of the subject
site entirely obsol,ete. Accordingly, we cannot conclude and object
to this application as not justified by the alleged change in
circumstance, development trends or the local golf course industry.
The pl,at of the subject site includes a dedication for the express
purpose of golf course rather than dedicated open space. Article
1. E.1.C. of the ULDC establishes that information clearly shown on an
approved plan or other development order shall' rema ,in valid and
not be subject to current requirements. Since the subject site is
dearly an on various devel:opment orders (i.e. master plan, site pl,an,
and plat) as golf course, this acreage may not be retired and
redeveloped with residential buildings or for any purpose other than
fulfilling the golf course reflected on the Boca Del Mar :m aster pia n.

lands.
require a modification .
Under either set of factors, Mizner has not shown by the greater; wejght~f
the evidence that the County's denial of Mizner's application resulted ~
As stated above, the County's denial of MiZner's application is not what causedl.l:le
negative econornlc impact upon the property. Rather. the pre-eXisting master
plan's agreed-upon restriction to maintain the 43 acrcs as a golf course, cOl1lulned
with market forces, diIninished the property's value. Moreover, Mizner's claim
that the econornlc impact df the County's denial amounted to a decrease In value
from $35.4 million to zero lacked credibility. The $35.4 million figure arose from
a sale contract between Mizner and one of its general partner's affiliates, which
this court found not to be an arm's length transaction.
However, even if this court were to find that the County's dental of Mizner's
application diminished the property's value, the other factors still would outweigh
that finding. Most bnportantly, as stated above, Mlznci' has not shown that theil'
representatives had reasonable e"-J>CCtations. "'Whether or not expectations are
considered reasonable will depend on whether the property owner had notice ill
advanCe of his investment decision that the governmental regulations which are
alleged to constitute the taking had been or would be enacted." Golf Club of
Plantation. Inc. v. City of Plantation.. 717 So. 2d 166, 170 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998).
Here, Mizner's representatives had constructive notice before their investment that
the master plan imposed restrictions on the south course's use. for which the
County compensated the origlnal developer by allocating the south course's
development rights to Boca Del Mar's other parcels. Thus, Mizner's
representatives reasonably should nol have expected Lo be able to develop the 43
acres. The fact that the County even considered Mizner's application was to
Mizner's advantage. As articulated in Palm Beach Isles Assoc. v. U.S.. 231 F.3d
1354. 1363 (Fed. CiT, 2000):
In sum. "It Is the function ofthe legislative body charged with responsibility
for protecting and enhancing the health. welfare, and safety of the public to weigh
Ibe advantages and disadvantages of rezoning property.~ Marell v. Hardy. 450 So.
2d 1207, 1211 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). Here. the evidence shows that the County,
through its staff and commlssiont~rs, weighed those 3dvantagcs and
disadvantages, iUld in the interest of protecting their perceived welfare of lhe
surrounding neighborhoods, denied Mizner's applicallon to change the 13 acres'
use from golf course to residential. Mizner has not proved a taking.
While a few years have passed since Judge Gelber's decision, the
material factors set forth above have not.
We hope that you will continue to see the value in preserving and
protecting the open space of the Bocal Del Mar community and will
deny the subject application.
Thank you,
