the new zone requirements, and more than 50~ of the subdivision
appears to have been improved under the old zoning.
The Board recommends granting the requested deviation.
Commissioner Snow moved for accepting the recommendation
of the Planning/Zoning Board and the granting of Hr. Corcoran's
deviation request. Hotion was seconded by Commissioner Barrow and
unanimously carried.
(2) Hrs. Bettye C. Lynch request for side-yard setback devi-
ation on Lot 85 - Plumosa Park, Zone R-1AA.
While the lot area conforms to the new zone, the frontage
does not, and the neighborhood is more than 50~ improved.
The board recommends granting the request, but with side
yards no less than the old zoning requirements.
Commissioner Barrow moved that the deviation be granted,
as recommended by the planning Board. Hotion was seconded by Com-
missioner Strong and unanimously carried.
(3) Hary E. Hyers request for Porch construction permit on
Lot 6, Block 2, Totterdale Addition - Zone R-1AA.
Under the new zoning, Lots of record with less than 95
feet on either dimension of a corner lot may build to 15 feet from
the long frontage. This building does not conform to the 30 ft.
setback From the narrow frontage. The other building on the end
of this block has been built to 173 Ft. from N. W. 14th Street.
The Board recommends in this case granting permission to
build out to the Front setback of the adjoining building, 17~ Feet
from N. W. 14th Street Frontage.
Commissioner Barrow moved For acceptance of the Board's
recommendation and granting of said deviation request. Hotion was
seconded by Commissioner Cromer and unanimously carried.
(4) Hrs. Clarence Butts request for change of land use,
Lot 1, in Bellview Court (South Swinton Avenue).
A Public Hearing was held Friday, August 24th and none
of the Fourteen neighboring land owners, properly notified ±n
accordance with City Ordinance No. G-365, appeared or protested the
proposed change.
Hfs. Butts attended in support of her request, noting
that the growth and development of the surrounding area had produced
a neighborhood character unappropriate to residence of the size of
her house, and that this works a hardship both in the use of her
property and the possibility of future sale, and requested per-
mission to alter the house for Duplex use.
The Planning Board had received several requests For
duplex land use in the area south of S. Fourth Street, though no
protests were on record during the public hearings prior to the
new zoning ordinance passage. It is the intention o£ the Board
to hold further hearings on possible reintroduction of an H-2 zone
in this general area after December 1st.
On the basis of the circumstances above, the Board
recommends that a variance be granted to Hrs. Butts For Duplex
use of her property.
Commissioner Barrow moved to accept the recommendation ,
of the Planning Board and grant the request of Hrs. Butts. Hotion
was seconded by Conuuissioner Strong and unanimously carried.
AUGUST 27th, 1956.
(5) Rev. N. A. Jenkins (Mount Olive Baptist Church) request
for set-back deviation, Lot 7, Block 28, Zone R-2.
This building is regarded as a rebuilding of the previous
church facility, and should be centered on the existing two-story
baptistry and instruction building at the west end of the lot. The
new church will form an extension to the existing building. There
is a requirement to seat 500 persons, and this can be accomplished
only with the proposed size plus a future balcony.
The Board recommends approval of the setbacks indicated.
Permissive Use: The new ordinance requires a public hear-
ing for the permissive use of property for Churches and other buildings.
It is suggested that, with the approval of the City Attorney, that such
a hearing be dispensed with for the following reasons:
(a) This is not a new land use of the property, but a
reconstruction of a church facility already accepted, and an extension
of an existing part of the Church facility.
(b) Probably a majority of the property owners affected,
who would be summoned to such a hearing have already signified their
approval by contributing some $18,000. - $20,000. to the fund for the
new Church.
(c) The hearing would entail a hardship by delaying con-
struction for at least two weeks.
Parking Facilities: required by the new ordinance will
be met by acquisition of the lot immediately south of the proposed
church, and negotiations for this lot will be completed shortly.
The Board recommends therefore granting of a construction permit to
proceed immediately.
Commissioner Snow moved to grant this special exception,
aoproved by the City Attorney, and permit construction as outlined
subject to proof of ownership of the adjacent land for parking
facilities. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Cromer and upon
Call of the Holl - Mayor Yargates and Commissioners Snow, Cromer
and Barrow voted in favor thereof, Commissioner Strong being opposed.
The City Attorney suggested to the Commission that consider-
ation should be given toward increase of the FEE to accompany devi-
ation requests.
Commissioner Snow requested the City Manager to investigate
the procedures and Fees charged in other cities and towns for this
function.
Commissioner Snow moved that Bills in the s,,m of $47,450.08
be paid subject to the approval of the Finance Committee. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Strong and unanimously carried.
The Building Inspector submitted a plat reflecting desired
enlargement to the service department of Hoyle-Cadillac.
Commissioner Cromer moved that permit be granted Hoyle-
Cadillac to enlarge their present service department. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Barrow and unanimously carried.
Commissioner Snow moved that the City Manager be instructed
to obtain bids for the reconstruction of the sidewalk on the beach
side of Ocean Blvd., with a sand and fine rock plant mix asphalt,
work to be done during September. Motion was seconded by Com-
missioner Cromer and unanimously carried.
Commissioner Snow requested the Commission endeavor to
interest some local organization in sponsoring a city-wide clean-up
program.
Commissioner Strong suggested the Mayor contact the Garden
Clubs for their co-operation. Mayor Yargates agreed to such
assignment.
AUGUST 27th, 1956.
City Hanager Lawson reminded the Co2mission of recent public
resentment concerning the awnings on the beach pavillion being
taken down, advising of the approximate cost for removal and
placement being in the nei~hborhood off $100. for taking down and
re-hanging, whereas new awning coverage, if made necessary by storm
destruction, would approximate $782.00 to replace.
The Commission unanimously agreed that the awnings on the
pavillion should not be down for any undue period of time as many
people enjoy using this facility.
Commissioner Strong solicited the Conmission~s consideration .-~
and willingness to defray the expense for bus transportation of
Colored children to Jupiter on Labor Day.
Commissioner Cromer moved that the City of Delray Beach
charter three buses for transporting the children to Jupiter on
Labor Day. Hotion was seconded by Comissioner Snow and unani-
mously carried.
Heeting adjourned.
