04-10-61 APRIL 10, 1961.
A regular meeting of the City Council of Delray Beach was held
in the Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M., with Mayor George V. Warren in
the Chair, City Manager George Mingle, City Attorney Richard F.
Zimmerman and Councilmen A1 C. Avery, Dugal G. Campbell, Glenn B.
8undy and John A. Thayer being present.
An opening prayer was delivered by Rev. J. W. Nabors.
Mayor Warren read the following Planning Board report, dated
April ~, 1961:
"On March 17, 1961 the Planning and Zoning Board held a
Special Hearing to consider the rezoning of lands along
N. E. Pirst Avenue described in a petition submitted to
the City Council by Mr. Patterson.
"Since that time the Board has held three lengthy meetings
to arrive at conclusions with regard to this matter. This
has been difficult to do and still is to a degree as certain
basic concepts are involved. A Brief outline of the bases
for our thinking is necessary before we can state our con-
clusions contained in actions on motions later described.
"From the inception of rezoning requests in this area most
if not all of the Board felt that the mere size of the
Haggart property offered a splendid opportunity to create
a unique asset to the city if properly developed and properly
controlled. Through-out the early stages of this controversy
we as well as many others tended to look at the matter narrowly
as pertaining to a single piece of property. This approach
established in many minds the idea of creeping, unregulated
zoning and the opposition was great. This tended to create
rather a deadlock in thinking and approach.
"Our continued contact with the problem has greatly widened
our approach to the problem. Many forces and individuals
have contributed to the idea of an areawide approach to this
area based on a conl~tructive plan to take care of present
needs and future as well. This area can be outlined as from
2nd Ave° west to the west of the New city hall buildings and
from Atlantic Ave. north to 4th Street. The six members of
the Board last night all went on record as favoring the
wide approach.
"A part cf this area approach includes the ultimate idea of
all of the Ia. nd north of Atlantic Ave. north to 4th Street
and between Swinton Ave. and N. W. First Street ultimately
coming under the ownership of the city. This would become a
well landscaped park and site of future city buildings such
as an auditorium, music hall, museum, etc. The possibilit~
of such broadening of this central municipal area would make
a spectacular change on the face of De2may. The Board lest
night went on record unanimously that they favored the idea
of such a development. This concept becomes in a large way
the core of the area development. The location of this major
heart of Delray would greatly tend to uplift the '~hole central
area of the city.
"It is probable that the present elementary .~choo! site on
Atlantic will b~ abandoned as such, How far off this may b~
has not been determined. The purchase of thi~ land by the
city in the future would e. ssure a parking ar,sa f~£ng Atlantic
~ve. and accessible to much of West Atlantic and handling
~Ughly 300 cars. This is a second major key to orderly and
"~roper near by development.
"There can be but little doubt of the possibility that in
time remaining area will na~urally gravitate toward the com-
mercial of high type. Wh~ is the real question. The evidence
at the moment does not indicate ~hat there is any immediate
APRIL 10, 1961.
necessity to rezone all of the area involved. Certain changes
do appear Just~ied. When an ~verall area plan is accepted~.
which can be made slowly and carefully and when really needed.
"It appea~s to be perfectly proper in zoning to predicate
changes in zones on acceptable plans being presented by the
developer and subject to his completion of same. The Board
whet on record unanimously as favoring a trial in this pro-
c edure.
"The Boamd unanimously approved a motion to the effect that
Mr. Haggart be requested to submit simple plans for his
property to the Planning and Zoning Board in an attempt to
fit such plans into the over all area picture. This is our
recommendation to the Council.
"The Board further moved and unanimously approved a motion
that the Board convene again when Mr. Haggart has been con-
sulted and has rough plans to discuss with the Board along
the lines as outlined above.
"The following recommendation to the City Council was approved
5-1 by the Board.
,,We request the City council to hold up final
action on this matter until we have an oppor-
tunity to receive plans from Mr~ Haggart for
the development of his city block which we '.'~eel
could be a real asset to the co~aerciai plans
of the city if developed properly in terms of
an overall plan for the ames, and also ~'to have
an opportunity to go into this matter in more
detail with Mr. George Simons, Jr.
"We have had several opportunities recently to disc,~ss all
this with ~M. Simons. His general approval of this is at-
tached in his letter dated March 31, 1961.
"The attached statistics derived from the petitions submitted
and the r~sults obtained at the hearing itself. These were
coded and prepared by the office of the city clerk.:'
Mr. Campbell moved that acknowledgement of the report r~ceived from
the Planning Board be given, and further moved for deniel of the
request for rezoning the area covered by this petition that the Board
refers to; further that the Board be asked to continue the study
covered by tb.e report and that this request be promptly forwarded to
the Board and due publicity be given to the report and to the proposed
study. The notion was seconded by Mr. Thayer and. carried unanimously.
Mayor Warren stated that the rezoning request has been denied
but the Planning Board will survey the whole area that has been in-
volved and if they so deem, anytime during this coming year that a
proper change in zoning might be made that would be a credit to the
city in appearance and location of business, that they could request
a change in zoning in one portion or another of this area involved,
and if such a request comes from the Planning Board it would be sub~
Ject to the usual public hearing, etc.
Mr. Ha~gart, owner of a portion of the property covered in the
request for rezoning expressed his disappointment at the denial of
the request but stated that it is his desire tol cooperate 'with ~he --
Planning Board and the City Council.
City Clerk Worthing read the following Planning Board Report,
dated April 1, 1961:
"In regular meeting on March 31 the Planning and Zoning
Board reconsidered the permissive use for the Jordan
Baptist Church which you returned to us on March 2?th.
"The Board wishes to reaffir~our position taken at our
last meeting and submitted t~ you under date of March 1~
1961.

"Should the council feel that further information is
quired we suggest that the building inspector or other
individual 7ou ma7 see fit to appoint obtain such infor~-
marion as you ma~ desire meg~dtn~ plus, site loc~t~ons,
park~ ~eas, appe~ce, financial ~esponsibility, etc."
The Co~cil was l~ormed ~at the M~ch 1st report referred to is ~s
follows:
"The ~a~d considered this request very carefully from
all the i~or~tion available, and c~e to the conclusion
that despite the fact ~t land could be purchased to the
south of their p~esent property providi~ access, etc.,
that ine~ficient ~ea e~sts to w~r~t a church and
religious educational building as a permissive use on
this land."
Following discussion it was moved by ~. C~bell to co, cfm with the
suggestion of the Plying Bo~d that a s~dy be ~de ~d that a mem-
ber of the Co~cil who is f~liar with the ~ea, together with Ralph
Hughson, be authorized to m~e such a study and repo~t a~ ~he next

City Ol~k Wort~ then read the following Plying Board report
dated April 1, 1961:
"In regui~ m~eting on March 31, 1961 the Pla~ing and Zoning
Board studied the ~..equest for abaudo~ent of a right of way
along N. E. 6~h Street between 7th Avenue and the alley way
to the East between 7~ ~d 8th Avenues.
"The Board decided that no useful pu~o~e would be served
to ca~ry 6th Strest t~u. ~ere are adsquate roads of
entry iz:~to ~.d aro.~a~d this area. Should future changes
~equire additional road co~ections fifth and fourth Streets

ments ~e provided. We further reco~end that should this
abando~ent be granted -~hat in the event there are existing
utilities in this R~ which would have to be c~nged that
this be done at the o~ers e~ense."
It was moved by ~. 8~dy to accept the ~eco~endatlon of the Pla~ing
Board as to the utilities and abandon N. E. 6th Street between N. E.
7th Avenue ~d the alley between N. E. 7th and 8th Avenues. The
motion was seconded by ~. Avery. Following lengthy discussion ~d
upon call of roll ~. Ave~, ~. $~dy, ~. Thayer and Mayor War~e~

"The Beach Tax Payers League were strongly represented and
their opposition was voiced. Sixteen letters were received
from members of the league opposing the change. Letters
about this hearing were sent to all members of the League.
"The Board voted unanimously to deny this request as there
is no evidence Justifying such a change at this time."
It was moved by Mr. 0ampbell that the recommendation of the Planning
Board be accepted and the rezoning request be denied, the motion
being seconded by Mr. Avery and unanimously carried.
On motion by Mr. Oampbell, seconded by Mr. Bundy and unanimously
carried the minutes of April 3rd, 1961 meeting were approved.

ness during his recent illness and stated that following a recent
