13469207290?profile=RESIZE_710xIn a move to modernize its amenities, the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has announced plans to remove its existing pool and beach cabanas in favor of sleek, cantilever umbrellas.

Oracle Software billionaire Larry Ellison bought the Eau last summer through MPB Property LLC. The company asked the Manalapan Town Commission at its Feb. 11 meeting for approval to remove four pool cabanas, seven oceanside cabanas, 32 wood trellises, a towel stand and a spa cabana.

In their place will be rows of high-end cantilever umbrellas, which can be easily adjusted to provide customized coverage, said attorney James C. Gavigan, who represented the Eau.

The commission rescinded the condition that the Eau be required to get feedback from the adjacent La Coquille Club Villas to make changes to its planned unit development zoning designation.

“The Eau will always be a good neighbor and will work with all residents, including the La Coquille Club,” Gavigan said. “But we want to be clear that there shouldn’t be any implicit or explicit additional requirement.”
