Worthing, City Attorney Richard F. Zimmerman and Councilmen Col. Dugal G. Camgbell, Charles H. Harbison, John A. Thayer and George V. Warren being present. An opening prayer was delivered by the Reverend Marland Zimmerman. On motion by Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. Harbison and unanimously carried, the minutes of March 28th, 1960 meeting were approved. Regarding the policy for "Extension of Water Service Outside the City Limits" Mr. Warren moved that this matter be tabled until the next council meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thayer and unanimously carried. Mr. Worthing then submitted a report from Russell and Axon, regarding the rehabilitation of the present City Sewerage Disposal Plant located in the City Park, that they submitted after recent conference with the Council and investigation of the City's existing sanitary sewerage facilities. Mr. Campbell moved to go ahead with the engineers report, put the present system in shape, ask the Public Works Department to ~ome up with a study as to the charges that should be made, keeping in mind that the Council is not interested in a charge that would just wipe out last years cost, but that will set up a fund that will give them the chance to put in the system that they ultimately want here, and that is not on the .50~ per month basis. The study also to determine what time the plant can be put into use, where the money is to be provided from, cost anA kind of truck to be used, and whether the construction of the new highways will affect the pipes. The motion was seconded by Mr. Harbison and unanimously carried. The following letter from Attorneys Griffith & Moore of Bo2'nton Beach regarding the City Dock Lease was read by Mr. Worthing. "I have been retained by Mr. C. C. Calloway, trust~ee in bankruptcy for Jarman C. Smith and Son Farms, Inc., a Florida corporation, now bankrupt, relative to a possible negotiation with the City of Delray Beach as to that certain lease agreement entered into between the City of Delray Beach, and now held by Jarman C. Smith and Marion Smith, his wife. We have reason to believe that this lease might be an asset of the bankrupt corporation, and if it has any value to the trustee, it might be the desire of the trustee to re-acquire this lease from Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In the event this lease should be re-acquired, would the City of Delray Beach be interested in purchasing the re- maining term of the lease from the trustee, so that the same may be cancelled, or would the City of Delray Beach grant unto the trustee the right to re-acquire this lease and the City to waive the right un, er the lease to invoke the bankruptcy clause as set forth therein. It is hoped that if this is an asset, that the ~rustee could receive any value for, that the City would be cooperative with the trustee to permit its re-assignment to other persons, or party, for the benefit of the creditors. I would appreciate your informing me as to your feelings on this subject as soon as p~actical as the bankrupt estate is about to be closed and if this matter is not considered an asset of the trustee, the estate might be closed leaving the lease as it presently exists in the hands of the present holders. Thanking you in advance for your consideration on this matter." APRIL 4th, 1960. After discussion Mr. Harbison moved that the dock lease remain status quo. The motion was seconded by Mr~ Thayer and unanimously carried. Regarding a 250 foot strip of S. W. 10th Street that commences 500 feet West from point where Germantown Road swings Southwesterly from 10th Street that is unpaved, M~. Worthing informed the Council of the need of said 250 feet to be paved and of complaints that had been received regarding same. After discussion Mr. Campbell moved to provide for the paving of said 250 foot strip on the basis of the City paying 20% of the cost and the abutting property 'owners paying 80% of the cost. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thayer and unanimous- 19 carried. Mr. Worthing presented a request from Attorney Charles Byron on - behalf of the owners of Palacino Pa~k for rezoning from R-1 to R-2 of Palacino Park. Motion by Mr. Thayer and seconded by Mr. Warren that this request be referred to the Planning Board. Mr. Harbison questioned there being sufficient time to process a zoning change before the last of April and after discussion, Attorney Zimmerman stated that the second reading of a rezoning ordinance Would have to come before that date. Mr. Campbell then challenged that ruling and asked for an answer on it before next week. After further discussion and upon call of roll, the motion to refer this to the Planning Board carried unanimously. Mr. Harbison asked that the City Attorney set up the proper steps for considering a zoning change. After discussion Mr. Ca~obell moved that a committee consisting of Mr. Harbison, the City Attorney and the Chairman of the Planning Board or any member that he design. nated be appointed to study the zoning set up during the summer and make their recommendations to the Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Warren. Mayor Sundy then appointed Mr. Harbison, Mr. Knowles, the City Attorney and the City Manager as a committee for said study. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. The following letter from Buckley and Bland of Fort Lauderdale, who represent Delray Estates, Ltd., was presented by Mr. Worthing~ "RE: Request to vacate part of PLAT NO. i OF HOMEW00D ADDITION TOT HE CITY OF DELRAY (Formerly Linton) together with roads (The aforesaid plat being recorded in Plat Book 15, Page 23, of the public records of Palm Beach County, Florida) "We represent Delray Estates, Ltd., the owner of the property hereinafter described. On behalf of said corporation, it is hereby requested that the aforesaid plat be vacated as to the following property presently included therein: In Block 37, that part of Lots 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 lying South of the center line of Section 19, Township 46 South, Range 43 East In Block 36, that part of Lots l~, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 lying South of the center line of Section 19, Township 46 South, Range 43 East All of Block 48 Together with all roads adjacent to the aforesaid described protions of Blocks 37, 36 and 48. "The property above-described was,according to reliable in- formation furnished to me by Mr. Roy L. Calamia and Mr. B. L. Cates, Surveyor, platted back during the boom around the year 1925 or 1926. The streets have never been developed and .~he property at the present time is, except for the existence of the recorded plat, unimproved acreage. "The reason our client, Delray Estates, Ltd., desires the above vacation of the plat and rights-of-way is that it expects at a later date to dispose of its property in its entirety, and the prospective purchaser acquiring it for development will desire to develop it in accordance with 2 APRIL ~th, 1960. its own plans. The property owned by our client lies both to the North and to the South of Lowson Boulevard. The entire area to the South of Lowson Boulevard is acreage and has never been platted. It is highly desirable that the entire property be clear of any abandoned plat and any impediment to its proper use and future development by a purchaser. "For your information in order that you may more easily identify the location of the property, it is located immediately to the South of Delray Beach Golf Course. It lies between Delray Beach Golf Course and Lowson Boulevard and to the West of Lake Worth Drainage District E-$ Canal. "It will be appreciated if you will give this matter your con- side~ation. If there is any further information that I can giVe~ please do not hesitate to call upon me for it. Mr. Roy L. Calamia of Delray Beach is very familiar with the property and with the problem, and I am sure that he will be able and willing to give you any information that you may need." After discussion, Mr. Harbison moved to abandon part of Plat No. 1 of Homewood Addition as requested. The motion was seconded by Mr. Warren and upon call of roll, Mr. Harbison, Mr. Thayer, Mr. Warren and Mayor Sundy voted in favor of the motion, Mr. Campbell being opposed. Mr, Worthing then read the following letter from the Planning Board, daSed December 20th, 1959. 'tAt its regula~ meeting on December 18, 1959 the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to offer recommendations to the City Council regarding certain changes in ordinance G-SOO which essentially adds an extra ten foot setback on 5th and 6th Avenues under the new construction program. "The Board feels that section two of this ordinance is too restrictive in nature to provide a pleasing and attractive approach thru the City of Delray Beach on both Avenues. "The Board would like to recommend that marques or canopies be permitted not to extend beyond this ten foot setback. The minimum height of such canopies above sidewalk or grade should he not less than nine feet. Canopies can be attractive and should provide shade for store and shop windows since these streets are due North and South and hence in sun glare a good portion of each day. "The Board feels that signs which are attached to the flat side of the building or painted or attached to the canopy should be permitted. "The Board feels that the content of Section 2 should be maintained as far as sign posts or signs, merchandise, or permanent structures extending over this ten foot strip are concerned. These we would like to see barred completely. "To keep these ten foot strips devoid of landscaping completely which G-300 now provides would create an un- interesting picture and perhaps defeat the purpose of attempting to beautify these areas. We should like to recommend that in the first five feet away from the street in this strip that shrubbery be permitted not to exceed three feet in height and that the five feet directly in front of such buildings be permitted to have shrubs or trees o2 any size or height which would not constitute and under or side hazard to proper vision from sidewalks or alleys or streets feeding onto the main thorofares. "The Board feels that the present sign ordinance could also be reviewed in face of these recommendations to eliminate many of the very objectionable features which seem bound to · appear under an ordinance as broad in scope as the present one is. ~ 3 APRIL 4th, 1960. After discussion Mr. Warren moved that Ordinance G-300 be referred to the Planning Board for recommended changes and a report back to the Council of same. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thayer and unanimously carried. Mr. Worthing then read the following letter dated April l, from Mr. Rhea Whitley. "As you no doubt know the Florida Inland Navigation District owns approximately the South 2/3rds of the yacht basin ad- Jacent to and lying to the North of Basin Drive. This prop- erty was acquired by the District about 1937 to be used for the deposit of dredged material as needed in connection with the maintenance and improvement of the Intracoastal Waterway. As the owners of the fee simple title to the submerged lands in the basin, the Board of Commissioners of the Florida Inland Navigation District can fill the basin or sell it to some de- veloper who could then fill and subdivide said basin. The basin is an asset not only to the abutting property owners but to the public and to the residents of Delray Beach. "Based on an appraisal the Board of Commissioners of the District have now offered the basin for sale for a price of $12,000.00. As a result of conferences with the Board of Commissioners and a careful consideration of all of the possibilities involved all six of the' abutting property owners, including myself, have decided that the only way to protect our respective properties and to maintain the basin as it presently exists is to buy the area from the District so that it can be continued as a yacht basin. The six upland owners will pay $2,000.00 each to the District and will take title to the basin area as tenants in common each owning an undivided 1/6th interest in the.property. "The six abutting property owners have been advised that in keeping with its policy all abutting property owners must either Join in the purchase or else advise the Board of Commissioners, in writing, that they do not wish to join and do not object to the property being purchased by the other owners. "The Right of Way of that portion of Basin Drive which is 25 feet wide, extends northerly to the south boundary of the yacht basin. For this reason the Commissioners of the Florida Inland Navigation District before approving 'the proposed sale to the abutting property owners want a consent to such sale from the City of Delray Beach. "It will be appreciated if you' will take the required action to advise the Commissioners of the Florida Inland Navigation District that the City does not want to join in the purchase and has no objection to the abutting property owners acquiring the title to the submerged lands as tenants in common, each owning an undivided 1/6th interest, for a consideration of $12,000.00 to be paid by the property owners." Mr. Thayer moved that this request be tabled for study. The motion was seconded by Mr. Harbison and unanimously passed. Mr. Worthing then read Ordinance No. G-345, in its entirety, which is: ORDINANCE NO. G-345.

A~ year or two ago we had a wide, gently sloping beautiful expanse of sand south of these new groins into the ocean, but already our beach is precipitous and being' dug Out daily.
