Dear Residents,

I thank Peter and Sally Shapiro for their contributions to the City. Besides being good neighbors, the Shapiros have been very active during their 5-year stay in Atlantis. I recall their full involvement organizing our collec-tive voices as part of the City’s efforts influencing the Heathwood Reserve community development approvals.

I am blessed to serve with hard working councilmembers who have our collective interests in the forefront. I thank Peter for all he has done. Sally was also involved through the Police Pension Board. If you have an oppor-tunity, and time is short, please wish the Shapiro’s well as they follow their life’s path to Houston, Texas. Maybe Peter can pick up a hint of a southern accent!!! Good luck y’all. City Council looks to appoint a successor for Mr. Shapiro’s seat at our regular June Council Meeting. Please refer to the City’s website for infor-mation.

The City Council Meeting was held on April

21st at 7:00 p.m.

Resolution 21-08, appointing members to

the Architectural Review Committee passed 5-0. All

position will remain the same.

Resolution 21-09, appointing members to

the Board of Adjustment, also passed 5-0. Derek

Cooper will fill the regular vacant seat.

Resolution 21-10, appointing members to

the Police Pension Board, passed 5-0.

Michael Stedem will fill the vacant seat.

Resolution 21-11, affirming the City of

Atlantis’s participation along with Palm Beach

County for the FAA appeal passed 5-0. This will

give Atlantis a seat at the table for appealing rather

than just being a bystander.

In Miscellaneous Business, Mr. Bob Koepka

of the Lost City Golf Club explained the major reno-

vations, costing millions of dollars, that the club is in

the midst of doing. All 27 holes are being redone

with the goal of reopening November 1st. This will

set the Club in a new league of clubs and will also

help the

property values in a positive manner for the

entire city.

Under Council Comments, Councilor

Peter Shapiro announced that he is retiring from his

position on Council as he and his wife Sally will be

moving to Houston, Texas where their son and his

future wife reside. Congratulations and much happi-

ness to the Shapiros as they enjoy a new adven-

ture! We will miss you greatly!

As there is now a vacancy on the

Council, recruiting has begun until May 11th for this

interim position until the next election. If interested,

please contact the City Clerk to discuss your desire

to participate, along with your professional infor-

mation and what you feel you can bring to the

Council. Council will vote for the best candidate at

the next Council meeting on May 17th. Best of luck!

CITY MANAGER’S NOTES Change is in the air! If you have been thinking about a birthday party, splash pad day, or family outing at Kintz Park, now would be a good time to make a reservation. Starting in May, the park will have several closures due to planned improvements. We are coordinating the work to keep the closures to a minimum and avoid too many consecutive days. However, for the safety of our residents and park patrons the closures are unavoidable. We will do our best to avoid weekends and times reserved. We have several improvements planned for the park. FPL will be replacing poles and electric cable in the park as part of their storm hardening project. The City is replacing the Toddler-to-5-year-old play equipment. We are making repairs and painting the recreation building. We are removing the old picnic tables and installing new concrete pads with tables and permanent shade umbrellas. We have landscape improvements to complete as well. We hope the work enhances the park experience for our frequent resident patrons and maybe encourages a few more residents to come check out Kintz Park.

POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWS Chief Robert G. Mangold

Community Safety through Community Awareness and Involvement:

Hurricane Season: We are fast approaching another hurricane season as June

first is right around the corner so it is time to prepare once again. A very active

season is anticipated with above average probability of landfalls along the eastern

seaboard. Federal, state, and county emergency management officials are emphasiz-

ing to all citizens that plan to remain in their homes in the event of a hurricane, to be

prepared to be self-sufficient for a minimum of five to seven days; this includes

water, food, and medical supplies. The rationale behind this position is based on the

lessons learned from previous natural disasters. Federal, state, and local governments

have discovered that they are not able to marshal their resources any faster than this.

In addition, depending on the severity of the disaster, or the number of disasters

requiring emergency response, assistance may not be forthcoming before five to

seven days due to an overtaxed emergency response system. Finally, citizens should

not rely totally on their government to provide for their safety, but need to accept a

modicum of responsibility for their own welfare.

The police department needs to compile a list of residents with special needs (medical

problems, etc.), that will be staying in Atlantis throughout the hurricane season. The

department wants to determine what services our residents with special needs may

require in the event of a hurricane and based on those needs we may find it necessary

to recommend evacuation to individuals that may be at risk if they shelter in place.

Please contact Megan Legall at 965-1700 to provide us with your information.

For hurricane preparation information please go to the Red Cross website Hurricane Preparedness | Red Cross and review the links dedicated to hurricane preparedness. The Florida Disaster website, https://www.floridadisaster.org/hazards/hurricanes/, is another excellent source of information.

Hope this newsletter finds all healthy, safe, and following guidelines suggested by the CDC as we all navigate this Coronavirus pandemic.

In February and March your Code Officer sent out more than 200 Courtesy Correction Request for residents to have their Roofs and Driveways cleaned. As of this date less than 20 remain which have been scheduled for either replacement, repair, and/or cleaning and on a waiting a list by the pressure cleaning company. The cleaning of roofs and driveways falls under the City Code which deals with Minimal Property Standards. Take time and view the beauty of our City as I do on a frequent basis. Clean roofs and drive-ways greatly add to the beauty. A big thank you goes out to all who came into compliance with this request. If you see one that I may have missed please contact me with the address.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO GET ALL RESIDENCES TO SCREEN GARBAGE, RECYCLE CONTAINERS, AND MECHANICAL DEVICES FROM PUBLIC VIEW, AT ALL TIMES, INCLUDING THE DAY OF COLLECTION. As your Code Officer and fellow resident this simple act does make a difference to the look of the City on Mondays and Thursdays.

Many have taken advantage of the recent pleasant weather to address yardwork, landscaping, hedge, and tree concerns in preparation for the upcoming storm season. Remember while doing so the following areas are required to be reviewed by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) prior to commencing a project.

-Painting of any nature, No building or other structure, including driveways, patios and pool decks, shall be painted (including the use of the same or a different color of exterior paint on the walls, roof or any other part of the structure or surface) without first obtaining an archi-tectural approval from the city architectural committee.

-Installation of Non-Traditional Domed mailboxes. Any curbside mailbox that is not the tradition-al dome-rectangular shape, mounted on a single post of traditional design, or any curbside mailbox that is decorated must be reviewed and approved by ARC prior to installation.

-A landscape plan shall be prepared for all development within the City of Atlantis. Such land-scape plan must be approved by the architectural review committee and installed in accord-ance with such approval prior to receipt of certificate of occupancy (CO)

A permit, subject to additional regulations is required for the owners of all existing homes to install, relocate, or remove landscaping under the following conditions:

**3. All new construction. **4. Renovation or addition to existing home. **5. Change in landscape of 50 percent or greater in any twelve-month period. **6. Any alteration of landscaping within five feet of easement or right-of-way. **7. Projects exceeding $3,000.00. ** Fee required; ARC approval required NOTE: Existing shrubs and sod may be replaced at any time without a permit and with-

out meeting minimum tree requirements. -When trees in view of the public have been removed the stumps should also be removed

below ground level to eliminate the unsightly appearance.

Do’s Don’ts

-Screen garbage, recycle containers, and mechanical devices. -Put containers curbside -Put vegetative waste out on Sunday after 12 noon. -Allow lawn care companies to leave vegetative - Put Bulk waste out after 5 p.m. on Sunday. waste they make. You are responsible. In the future it may not be picked up and you could be charged.

Councilor Shapiro Resigns

Prior to the conclusion of the April 21st City Council meeting, Councilor Peter Shapiro

announced his resignation. Councilor Shapiro disclosed that due to personal and family

reasons, he and his wife, Sally, are relocating to Houston, Texas in advance of their son’s

wedding.

The Shapiros moved from Key West to Atlantis in 2015 and have been active residents since

their arrival. They were instrumental in the successful grassroots effort to prevent the excessive

density proposed by the developments of Heathwood Reserve. Councilor Shapiro has served

on the Board of Adjustments and Finance Committee in addition to his tenure on the City

Council. Sally Shapiro presently serves on the Police Pension Board.

“It has been my pleasure to serve alongside the citizen volunteers, forward-thinking members of

our City Council, our multi-talented City Manager, our outstanding Chief of Police and all of our

hard-working City employees. Thanks to all of them, Atlantis is poised to become the greatest

little city in Palm Beach County”, Councilor Shapiro included in his letter of resignation. He

closed by thanking their friends and neighbors for their encouragement and support.

We thank the Shapiros for their contributions to our community and wish them well on their next

chapter.
