05-11-59 MAY llTH, 1959. A Regular Meeting of. the City Council was held in the Council Chambers at 7:30 P.M., with Ma~or George Talbot Jr. in the Chair, City Manager ~V. E. Lawson Jr., City Attorney Harry T. Newett and Corn missioners J. LeRoy. Croft, Charles H. HarbisOn, Fred B. McNeece and George V. Warren bexng present. An opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Paul J. Smith. The Council, by general, consent, approved the Minutes of the regular meeting held on April 27th, 1959. City Manager Lawson read the following letter, dated N_~.rch 13th, 1959: DEIP~Y BEACH CHANBER OF C019~[ERCE "The problem of summer parking has had two major aspects.. ~e found that most citizens wanted the complete abolition of parking meter FEES during the s,,_mmer. However, when this was done, it pre- sented another problem- that of employees of business establishments parking all day in key positions. . There has been considerab.le pressure from the merchants to alle viate this situation. We believe we have a solution to both aspects of this problem. It is the feeling of the committ'ee that the installation of signs statin$ "60 minute parking only" in the problem areas, which include Atlantic Ave. from Swin. ton Ave. t~ the Intracoastal Waterway - two blocks north of Atlantic Ave. on Second Ave., one block north and south on 4th and 5th Avenues (meters in the above mentioned areas being set so as not to indicate a violation) will control employee parking and still satisfy most people about the annoyance of the meters during the 8,rmmer. Enforcement of these 60 minute zones would necessitate some police control durin~ the initial stage and after that, spot chec.king with the help of complaints from me~chants who have offenders ~n front of their place of business. We are requesting that the above plan beput'into effect beginning June 1st and remain in effect until November ist. Additionally, the committee recommen~e that signs be placed under, or next to, the stop lights at 4th and 5th Avenues, better indicating municipal parking lots. These signs to b~ paid for by the Chamber of Commerce. The above proposal was accepted at a meeting of the Merchants D~v~slon on March 12th, 1959. /S/ C~L4R~S LILLY Chairman Parking Committee The City Ymnager then read the following '?.eport' from the Police Chief, to whom, the preceding letter has been referred: May 5th, 1959. the letter from "The summer time parking p~oblem, as prese.nted in the Chamber of Commerce dated March 15, 1959, ~s ~ot a new one to this department. In the past few years we have tried several diffe- rent arrangemen~ts in an effort to solve the problem. None of these has proven 100% satisfactory. When we removed the meters from the side streets and left the ones on Atlantic Ave., the merchants and employees working on Atlan- tic Ave., would then park on the side streets resulting in complaints from those persons having places of business off Atlantic Avenue. The same situation existed when we removed a .part of the meters from Atlantic Avenue and left the remaining ones in effect. ~nen we removed all meters, we found that some complained a.nd wan~ed them replaced. It seems that some merchants would park ~n the next block f.~om their own place of business directly in front of another estab- lishment, "usually a competitor", bringing complaints and in some cases'demands that the police department prohibit them from parking there. MAY 11, 19%9 · In my opinion, should we accept the recommendation of the Com- mittee and post signs to the effect that sixtyminute parkin~ was in force in th? specified areas, it would n?t only be duplication but also confuszng to the publzc as the parkzng meters have already es- tablished the fact that parking is limited in these locations ~o far as time is concerned. If the parking meters are removed, it would seem as if we were ' taking a step bacI~vard as this would mean going back to the old sys- tem of marking tires to deter.~ne how long an automobile had be~n- parked. Thzs would also require a.great aeal.of space for storing the meters, which, from the mechanical angle is not considered to be good practice, to say nothing of the time and labor necessary to re- move and replace them. The placing of hoods over the meters; as you know, has also proven unsatisfactory. The practice of leaving the meters on the ~ost and not enf?rcing them has been tried and found to work with a minimum of complaints where the meter is set to show sixtyminutes of parking at all times. I doubt seriously if there is an iron-clad solution to this pro- blem whsreby each individual merchant will be happy. If such a solu- tion exists, I would appreciate assistance from any and all sources in finding it. My recommendations are to either leave all parking meters as they are with enforcement only in cases where the privilege is abused, or, strictly enforce allmeters except those on the municipal parking lots which I believe should be discontinued during the summer months and free pa~king allowed ~hereon. In closing, I would t~ke to state that my department willmake every effort to carry out your decision regarding this matter. Cost of signs (estimate): 100 Signs @ $2~50 $250~00 100 2~75 275;00 200 Bolts .06 12~00 Labor 100.00 TOTAL $637.OO /S/ R. C. CROFT Chief of Police P.S. The signs indicating i~unicipal Pa~king Lots have been placed at 4th and Sth Avenues. The Council, on motion of Comm~ssione~ Harbison and seconded by Commissioner McNeece, unanimously approved acceptance 9f Police Chief Croft's recommendation and authorized leaving the parking meters as they are with enforcement only in cases where.the privilege is abused, except those meters located on municipal parking lo~s which should be discontinued during the summer months and free parking, thereon, al- lowed. City Manager. Lawson then read a request from M~r. We J. Snow, dated April 27th, 1959: "~ill you please submit to the City Commission that I am desirous, if it can be worked out, of trading the additional acreage I own, of which is~nclosed a description, adjoining the ten acre tract the City is now uszng as a rubbish dump. The acreage to be traded for would be that lyin~ ~est 'of Sim's Road and North of Atlantic Avenue, and was at one time used as a rock pit. I presume that this would call for a survey and appraisal by the City and if the Southeast and Southwest corners have been destroyed on my property, another survey and appraisal of this property could be made. The City to pay for these services on their property and I would assume the ~esponsibility on mine. Would hke to suggest that if the City is interested, thsy get a price for these surveys and appraisals and I will go along with the firm or firms they select providing the price is reasonable." /si w. J. The Council, on motion of Commissioner ~cNeece and seconded by Commissioner Croft, unanimously agreed that the City is not interest- ed in, nor desirous of, trading any lands (City owned) at this time, and requested that Mr. Snow be so advised. The City Manager presented and read - ORDINANCE NO.

"The Planning and Zoning Boar~, at its regular .mae.ting on May 1st, 1989, considered the attached ~ear set back devmat~on request of Mrs. A. G. Pruyser Jr., dated April MAth, 1~$~. The four members of the Board, ~resent, unanimously voted that the request be granted." /E/ PAUL S. KNOV~LES Ch'm. Commissioner Harbison moved that ~he request of l~r. A. G. Pruyser Jr., be gra.nted, in sustaining the recommendation of the Planning Board. Motmon was seconded by Commissiener ~arren. General discussion followed concerni~ the n.eighb.orhood involved and the Council felt that property owners ~n the zmmedzate area should be.adv.ised of the application and be.given ~n opportunity to express objection or approval of such deviation. Motion was withdrawn and Commissioner Croft moved that sai.d 'Applica~'ion' be referred to the Planning Board for a "Public Hearing".- ~otion seconded by Commission- er McNeece and upon Call of Roll, the Council unanimously agreed. 2. "At its resular meeting on May 1st, 1~8~, the Planning and Zoning Board considered a request for side set back deviation on Lots 1 and B, Block llA in C-2 zone, submitted by Mr. George Mattsson, dated April l?th, 1~$~, to erect a car porte and utility room to be used in connection with the Amigo Hotel. In accordance with Section ~E2 of Ordinance No. G-2SA, we inter- pret that the garage and utility room in question is not a dwelling structure, but an accessory building. Since this is not a dwelling structure and is located in a C-2 zone we interpret that no setback would be required. This interpretation is sub~ect to an interpPeta- tion by the city. attorney. Should the Cmty Attorney interpret otherwise we re~ommend that this reque.st be Mt.anted and that the ordinance be chang,d so that ac- cessory bumldings mn the comm.ercial .zone not used for dwel.ling pur- poses would folIow the establmshed smde yard setbacks requ~re~ ~n the commercial zones. The above was unanimously approved." /S/ PA~L S. KNOV~ZES Ch're. Commissioner Harbison inquired of the City Attorney if legal pro- n, 99 cedure had been followed in Planning Board's consideration of this and similar deviation requests and ~as advised that all. Planning Board meetings are open to the publxc and thereby constxtute a pub- lic hearing. The City Attorney further informed the Commissioner and Council that, in the case of "Deviation" requests, no direct notice to neighboring property owners is required. . . Mr. P~ul S. Knowles, 9hairman of the Planning ~oard, ~nformed the Councxl that all meetings are open to the public and are, there- fore, in effect a public hearing, but fu~th? ~ggested that it might be well for scheduled Meetings of.t~e Plannxng/Zoning Board to be ad- vertised in advance, thereby prowdxng an opportunity for all persons interested to attend. Commissioner Harbison moved that.this request be referred back to t~e ~lanning Board for a Public Hearing. Motion was seconded by Com- massloner McNeece. Following general discussion on proper procedure for processing 'Deviation' requests and legality of all Planning Board meetings constituting a Public Hearing, as well as advice from the City Attor- ney. that. th~s. Councxl meeting,, as. well as the Plann~n.g Board s . meet xng, ~s, ~n effect, a pubhc hearing, the above 'Motion' was w~th- arawn. · Commissioner Croft then moved that in as much as this property lies within C-2 zoned area the request of Mr. Nattsson be granted, as recommended by the Planning Board. Motion wa~ seconded by Com- missioner Warren and upon Call of Roll - Commisszoners Croft, Warren and McNeece, together with Nayor Talbot, voted in favOr thereof, Com- missioner Harbison abstaining. Commissioner Harbison then moved that the action of the Council, concerning the request of Mrs A. G. Pruyser Jr., for set-back de- viation on Lots 3§ & $6 in La~ Pa]ams S/D, be rescinded inasmuch as said request, and the 'Deviation' request of Mr. Mattsson, were of similar character and nature and, therefore, warranted similar action by the Council. The motion did not receive consideration due to lack of being seconded. 3. "At its regula~ meeting OhM ay 1st, 1989, the Planning and Zon- ing Board considered a side set back deviation from Ldcile J. Nichols and Fred W., and Lynn A. 0rlemann dated April 16th, 1959.

Croft, concerning a reRuest from the Delray Beach Civic League: "I do not recommend the hiring ~f any additional colored police officers at this time for the following reasons: 1. This expenditure was not included ~n the present Police Depart- ment budget. 2. The winter season is now over and I believe the present number of police are adequate at the present t~me. $. Most of the morning traffic in this area is being werked by White officers, either in patrol cars or on motorcycles, which leaves only routine police calls such as drunks, f~ghts, and other forms of disturbances to be taken care of by the colored police. In cases where they need assistance, an officer can be dispatched immediately to assist him." /S/ R. O.
