Lantana Town Council considers variances, boat dock pact; minutes pending

The Lantana Town Council met June 22 to take up a series of land-use and administrative items, including three variance requests for accessory structures on Julia Heights Drive, an interlocal agreement with Palm Beach for boat dock permits, and the second reading of an ordinance repealing obsolete business tax registration rules. Official minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes of votes on these items are not yet known.

Business tax ordinance repeal

The council held a second reading of Ordinance O‑2026‑06, which would repeal obsolete business tax registration provisions in Chapter 11 of the town code. The first reading was held at an earlier meeting.

Variance requests for accessory structures

Three variance applications (VAR26‑0001, VAR26‑0002, and VAR26‑0003) were on the agenda for a property at 1124 Julia Heights Drive. The requests seek relief from Sections 23‑94 and 23‑81 of the town’s land development code to allow accessory structures that would otherwise exceed size or setback limits.

Interlocal agreement with Palm Beach

The council discussed an interlocal agreement with the Town of Palm Beach that would allow Lantana to issue building permits for boat docks on properties within both municipalities’ jurisdiction. If approved, the arrangement would streamline permitting for waterfront construction.

Surplus property and pension board appointments

Council members were scheduled to designate several specified tangible town‑owned capital assets as surplus municipal property, clearing the way for their disposal. They also considered appointments to the Police Relief and Pension Fund Board of Trustees.

Legislative update

State Representative Debra Tendrich provided a legislative update to the council during the meeting.
