Avenues on the basis of the City of De]ray Beach paying 20% of the
cost of said improvement and the property owners abutting thereon
paying 80% of the cost. The motion was seconded by Mr. Thayer and
unanimously carried.
A petition from Attorney J. Clinton Scott was presented by Mr.
Worthin~ on behalf of property owners requesting' the name of Shu!son
Street be changed to Bahama Lane, approximately 78.7 percent of the
abutting property owners being in favor thereof, the remaining 12.3
percent being opposed. Mr. 'Henry A. Hildreth, the objector, being a
man of near ninety years of age, desires the street name remain as
it is for the balance of his life time and was represented at the
meeting by Attorney J. W. Nowlin who spoke in his behalf. Following
discussion Mr. Campbell moved that the request for mtreet name change
be denied at this time, and if they desire it can be requested at a
later date, motion being seconded by Mr~ Warren and upon call of roll
Mr. Campbell, ~. Harbison, and Mr. W~ren voted in favor of the

Mr. Frank L. Sp?ayberry asked for an interview with the Council
regarding street R/W on N. Wo 4th Avenue ~e~ween i4th ~.nd 16th Streets
which makes an undesirs, ble condition as there is only a 25 foot
bordering his p_~operty which lies in~ Totterda!e Addition directly
to the west of this portion of N. W. 4th Avenue. Mr. Sp~ay0erry asks
the Council to exercise what powers they might have to obtain a full
R/W or if that is not practicable to see what can be done to pave or
improve that portion of N. W. 4th Avenue to rm~ke it presentable and to
remove the dangerous condition that exists. Mr. Sprayberry stated
that as a major property owne~ along that Avenue he was willing to
bear reasonable cost of improvement. Mr. Worthing informed the
Council that an effort had been made during .the' past ten years to
APRIL 29th, 1960.
obtain the needed 25 foot R/W but both property owners concerned
have refused to consider giving said R/W. Following discussion,
Mr. Campbell moved that a committee of two councilmen together wi~.h
Mr. Worthing be appointed to make a study of the situation this
coming week a~d it be tabled for a week. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Harbison and unanimously Ca~ried. M~yor Sundy then appointed
Mr. Harbison and Mr. 0amPbell as the committee to work with Mr.
Worthing on this item.
Mr. Worthing presented a request from the Welcome Wagon Club to
erect signs at the north and south entrances of the City of Delray
Beach on Federal Highway, simila~ to the other civic club signs, and
after discussion as to whether the Welcome Wagon Club is a Civic Club
or a commercial organization, Mr. ~haYer moved that the request be
denied, motion being seconded by Mr. Harbison and unanimously carried.
Mr. J. L. Patterson presented the following petition signed by
323 businessmen and residents of Delray Beach:
"TO THE HONORABLE CITY C 0UNC IL
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA:
"We, the uD~ersigned businessmen and/or residents of Delray Beach,
do hereby petition the City Council of ~elray Beach to immediately
take the necessaz-y and appropriate action to delete or revoke from
the Zoning Ordinances of Delray Beach that provision providing that
rezoning or re-classification of property shall only be during the
months of November to May, for the following reasons:
1..Said pro~Ision is an unwarranted and improper infringement on
the constitutional rights of the individual and the use of his
property.
2..Said privision has and i_~s imparing the g~owth and economy of Delray Beach.
3. "said provision prevents reclassification consideration during
the summertime, when developers prefer to do their construction
and development work.
4- t~Said provision is not necessary to protect the rights of those
who may be on vacation, as the zoning ordinances require written
and public notice to all concerned, and ample time is allowed
for interested persons to retain counsel if desired.
5. "The City of Delray Beach should no lorrger consider itself as a
"small winter village", but rather should adopt a progressive
and helpful attitude towaPds development and the promotion of a
year around economy in. order not only to keep pace with the
surrounding progressive areas, but to provide a healthy business
atmosphere for the permanent citizens of Delray Beach."
Mr. Thayer stated that the. time will probably come, maybe very soon,
when as the town grows and develops it will become necessary to
either cancel the zoning moratorium in its entirety or at least
modify it, and that he does not object to that process but he does
object to it being done so suddenly and believes it is something
that requires the vote of the people as a whole and is the reason
that he is so insistent that it be put up for a referendum at the
proper time. There followed general discussion regarding the
zoning moratorium, also the overall zoning plan and map being
prepared by the Zoning Consultant Mr. George Simons, and Mr.
Harbison suggested that the zoning moratorium be removed at this
time in order to consider the overall zoning plan prepared by' Mr.
George Simons, also that there be a referendum vote regarding same
at the next general election.
Mr. Cliff Sellers representing the carpenters and Mr. Cliff
Riley representing the painters eXpressed their feeling that any-
thing that could be done .to help give employment to the working
class of people in Delray Beach would be appreciated.
2
APRIL 29th, 1960.
M~. Campbell asked of councilmen Harbison and Warren and the
Acting City Manager if there was an understanding with last years
council or had they made an error in the feeling that it had not
been intended to repeal the zoning moratorium and that they gave
verbal assurance to the people, also by newspaper, to that extent
at the time of the referendum to repeal Ordinance No. 365.
Mr. Harbison stated that he had no recollection of any thing
being given to the public either verbally or by newspaper and no
reference in any manner assuring the people that the moratorium
would be kept on.
Mr. Warren stated that he had no knowledge of the peeple being
told otherwise, but he d~d~net think that the majority of people wer.~
aware that the zoning moratorium was in that particular issue,
Mr. Worthing stated that there are people who know that at a
council meeting in October or November of 1959 when this first came
up and everyone realized, particularly the council, the purpose of
it which was to provide for relieving itself of having to listen to
minor complaints and requests for special exceptions and variations~
they wanted to appoint a Board of Adjustment which they were not
empowered to do by virtue of an existing Ordinance 365. Seven years
ago a Council at that time felt the same, they attempted to repeal
Ordinance 365 for no other reason than to be able to appoint a Board
of Adjustment that the Council might be relieved of these many over-
baring cases, time consuming affairs which they thought should be
borne by a Board of Adjustment as is the case in most established
municipal corporations. That attempt, offered at referendum by
virtue of necessity, failed because no one-was informed that the
moratorium would not be continued and someone wise enough to note
that made a public issue of it and ~at the election the issue was
voted down four to one. Seven years later, last October & November
when it began being talked about, for fear.of any such results the
Council at that time with a different City Attorney, and believing
all press members were present at that time and a reasonably full
house, the Council, during a general discussion, which discussion
you will not find in the minutes, made .a specific issue requesting
the Dress the City Attorney and Padl Knowles,Chairman of the Pla~_uing
Board,to take all possible steps to inform the public that it wa~ net
the intent of the Council in any way, shape or manner to create any
effect on the moratorium for rezoning but merely to be empowered to
provide for a Board of Adjustment.
Mr. Campbell asked the City Attorney if there was any way to keep
faith with the people on the Beach side and still do What is desired
west of the waterway. Attorney Zimmerman stated that he had talkod
to Professor Bartley, a Zoning expert that had been in Delray Beach,
about this and it was his opinion that you could not divide zoning
up in a town but there was a difference of opinion that it should
be possible in Florida for historical reasons as the east side of
town was settled in a different manner, also the general cases of
law that he has seen treat a town as a whole instead of dividing it.
It was suggested that the City Attorney be requested to contact
the Attorney General of the State of Florida on the question as to
whether or not the council can keep the moratorium in effect on the
east side of town and open it up on the west side of the waterway,
also as to whether it is constitutional to have a zoning moratorium
for five months of the year on the whole town.
After further discussion Mr. Harbison moved that an election be
set ~p concerning the zoning moratorium, to have the vote on doing
away with the moratorix~m entirely or leaving the moratorium with the
seven months as is. Upon question, Mr. Worthing stated that such
an election could be provided for in approximately six weeks, a
definite date to be set at the council meeting next MondaY. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Campbell and ~carried unanimously.
Mr. J. R. Kiel of Rio Del Rey Shares S/D thanked the Council
for the action they had taken regarding the lighting and street
signs in that S/D and that one light had already been installed.
Mr. Worthing then read ORDINANCE NO G-352 as follows:

"The Zoning Commission met at 4:00 P.M., on Friday, April 22nd, 1960,
to consider the 'Request' of Attty. Charles Byron, on behalf of the
owners of PAL~CINO PARK, being a subdivision of the West half of Blk.
3, in PRIEST'S ADDITION to Atlantic Park Gardens, for re-zoning there-
of from R-1 to R-2, which request was referred to the Commission by
the Council on April 4th for Public Hearing to be conducted thereon.
"At the Public Hearing, "Notice" of which had been forwarded to
thirteen abutting property owners, only Mr. and Mrs. William Gearhar'~
appeared and protested such proposed change in the west half of said
Block 3 to R-2 which classification would permit the building of
duplexes therein, the east half of which Block comprises eleven lots
improved only with single family construction.
"The Board unanimously approved the request for re-zoning of PALACZNO
PARK from R-1 to R-2 (One and Two Family Dwelling District) in view
of such zoning existing directly across the street (S. W. 15th Ave.)
to the west, and further due to the general uses of duplexes in the
Following discussion of that general area and objections by Mr. ~ Mrs:
Wm. Gearhart, Mr. Harbison moved to approve the request to rezone
Palacino Park from R-1 to R-2. The motion was seconded by Mr. War~en
and unanimously carried.
The Planning Board report on the request for rezoning from R-2 to
R-3 of Lots 30 thru 43, Ha~ller & Grootman,s S/D; Lots~ ~4 thru 67,
Hofman Addition and Lots 15 thru 30, McGinley Gosman S/D was presented
to the Council on April 25th and was tabled until tonights~ special
meeting. After discussion Mr. Harbison moved, with ~the approval of
the City Attorney, to rezone from R-2 to R-3 all of the lots lying
west of N. E. ?th Avenue of the above described property. Attorney
Zimmerman stated that in his opinion the Council has the right to
grant the rezoning of a portion of the land on which the public
hearing was held. The motion was seconded by Mr. ~ampbell and carried
unanimous ly.
Mr. Wm. Pfundston asked that his lots 21 & 22, McGinley Gosman be
rezoned from R-2 to R-3 also, as they had been zoned R-3 at the time
apartments were built upon them and later changed to R-2. He was
advised that he could petition for rezoning of Lots 21 & 22, McGinley
Gosman at a later date if he so desired.
Mr. Worthing read the following letter from Attorney Nell E.
MacMillan dated April 22nd, 1960:
"Re: Application for Rezoning Lot 12 & the South 29.4' of Lot 11,
Block 28, Delray Beach.
6
APRIL 29fh, 1960.
"This will advise you that on September 22, 1959, I submitted a
letter to the City Council asking for rezoning of the above property
which belongs to my wife. A .hearing was held on the same which I
attended before ~he Planning/Zoning Board on January 29th at four p.m.
"I am in receipt of a letter, dated April 21st, that this matter came
up before the City Council Monday, April 18th, for consideration of
the Zoning Commission, s report and I ~am advised that it was denied.
"I had absolutely no notice whatsoever of the fact that it would be
considered before the City Council Mond.ay, April 18th, and I feel
that it is only appropriate, fair and legal that I be advised as
attorney for the petitioner of the fact that it was going to be
considered in order that I might have an opportunity of expressing
myself in the matter.
"In fact, I have never seen a recommendation of the Zoning Commission
on the matter. I believe that you will agree with me that this ac tion~
if not improper, is certainly not in accord with what is the right
thing to do. The very least that any attorney representing anyone in
regard to a zoning matter can expect is to be notified when things
are going to be considered in order to protect the interests of his
client,"
Mr. Campbell moved that the petition, to rezone Lot 12 and the South
29.4 feet of Lot 11, Block 28 from R 2 to R-3 be granted, the motion
being seconded by Mr. Harbison and unanimously carried.

placed in him as evidenced by his appointment on January 21st, 1960,
for a temporary period as Acting City Manager and stated that acce~pt-

purchasing activity and the expenditure of thousands of dollars,~'~.~
that function too has continued satisfactorily under the supervision
of the valued and very effecient Director of Finance Mr. Carl Gessler
whose services the City is fortunate in having obtained, also the
very important, both City wise and legal wise, functions of a City
Clerk which have been so well handled by the ever willing and moat
capable Mrs. Hallie Yates. Mr. Worthing also stated that whatever
success he has had in this capacity wherein he has tried to the best
of his 'ability to administer the directives of the Council while.
respecting the welfare of the general public, which is now and has
always been his number one goal, would not have been possible without
