The Palm Beach County Natural Areas Management Advisory Committee (NAMAC) will host an open house and public hearing on the draft management plan for the county-managed Pond Cypress Natural Area on Tuesday, April 27, at the Royal Palm Beach Branch County Library located at 500 Civic Center Way, Royal Palm Beach. The open house will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will be followed by a public hearing beginning at 7 p.m.
The purpose is to allow residents of Royal Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, The Acreage and other interested citizens to learn about the passive public recreational facilities planned for the site and offer comments on the draft management plan. Copies of the draft management plan, site maps and other displays will be available at the open house for public inspection. Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) staff also will be present to answer questions.
The public hearing will be conducted by the NAMAC chair or a NAMAC representative. The hearing will provide a forum for public comment for those who were not able to attend the open house or who wish to address the committee members directly. NAMAC members will consider comments provided at the open house and public hearing and may recommend revision of the management plan before it is sent to the Board of County Commissioners for approval.
Copies of the draft management plan also will be available for public inspection at the following locations:
Royal Palm Beach Branch County Library, 500 Civic Center Way, Royal Palm Beach
Palm Beach County Main Library, 3650 Summit Blvd, West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach Public Library, 411 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach
