No Longer Beating Their Heads Against The Wall

It’s not often that the issuance of a government building permit is met with applause and cheers. Then again, it’s not often that one organization faces such ongoing difficulties and delays in obtaining one.

“We have received the permit. We actually have it in hand for the wall on Hillsboro Boulevard,” announced Eli Okun, President of the Board for CVE Master Management, at a recent meeting.

The permit Okun referred to is for the construction of a new perimeter wall along Hillsboro Boulevard. It is one of two major construction projects that have experienced significant delays. The other project—the reconstruction of the main gate—continues to await final approval from the City of Deerfield Beach.

The Hillsboro wall will be constructed in two sections. The first section will run from the main entrance to the end of Westbury. It will resume at Ellesmere and continue to the end of Ventnor. The stretch along Durham will not receive a new wall, as that portion of the perimeter is already bordered by water, dense bushes, and trees, creating a natural barrier that makes entry into the Village difficult.

This new wall is part of a broader plan to enhance the perimeter walls throughout the Village. As part of Toll Brothers’ construction of Sandpiper Pointe along Military Trail, the developer installed a new wall bordering the road. At that time, CVE Master Management aligned its plans for a new Military Trail wall to match the Toll Brothers’ design.

Construction on the Hillsboro wall is expected to begin sometime in April.
