12-10-51 December 10,1951
Regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray Beach
was held in the Council Chambers at 7:30 P.M. with Mayor Walter A. Roth
in the Chsir, and City Attorney Neil E. MacMillan, City Manager Robert
Lovelace, and the following Councilmen Present: R. J. Holland, W. A.
Jacobs, John N. Kabler and W. C. Musgrave, a quorum being present.
M~nUtes of the meetings held on November 12th, 15th, 21st, 26th
and December 6th were approved as written.
Mr. Alex Grenier appeared before the Council with reference to ~e
clearing of S. E. 9th Street, from 1st to 4th Avenues. He stated that
the Street would be rocked at the expense of the owners of abutting
property, if the City would open it; that that section is developing
rapidly, and many new homes are planned on this particular Street. He
suggested that the City clean up all of its dedicated Streets, as an
incentive for property owners to clear their private lots.
Although City Manager Lovelace explained that there are numerous
unopened streets and alleys in the City, and it has been a requirement
in the past that the City should be benefited by any expenditure of
public money, Councilman Jacobs contended that the City should clean off
all dedicated streets in districts where homes are being built, and advised
Mr. Grenier that S. E. 9th Street, from 1st to 4th Avenues, would be
cleared by the City as soon as possible.
A report from the Cemetery Committee was read as follows, and
ordered filed:
December 10,1951
Miss Addie Sundy, a member of the Cemetary Committee urged the
Council to take immediate action on the extension of the Cemetary, md
upon motion of Councilman Holland, seconded by Councilman Musgrave and
unanimously carried, the matter was referred to the City Manager for
study and report at the next meeting.
Plans for construction of a building to consist of seven apartments
and one store, on Lot 10, Block 2, §pphie F~ey Subdivision, on N. E. 8th
Street at 7th Ave., filed by E. W. E~nis for his client Henry E. Adelsperger,
were approved, subject to approval of the State Hotel Commission. The
Building Inspector advised that all requirements of the Building Code
and Zoning Ordinance would be complied with, accox~ing to the plans submitted.
Dr. W. C. Williams, owner of acreage in Section 17, appeared before
the Council. He explained that he would like to developa his land as a
colored subdivision, but the portion which lies South of S.W.4th Street is
considered a white area. He asked the Council to designate his entire
acreage either as a colored or white section, preferably colored.
Counci!me~_n Kabler moved that the Council meet with a committee of
colored citizens to inspect the property before the next regular meeting,
and make recommendations to the Council. The motion was seconded by
~ouncilman Musgrave, and carried unanimously.
Upon motion of Councilman Holland, seconded by Councilman Jacobs,
and unanimously carried, plans for the construction of a Gasoline Service
Station on lots 26 and 27, Haller& Groatman Subdivision, on the northeast
corner of the N. Federal Highway and 4th Street, T. B. Slover, applicant,
were approved, subject to final approval of the Building Inspector.
The plans showed that all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and
Building Code will be complied with.
City Manager Lovelace advised the Council that a Tax Certificate
had been issued in 1948 on Lot 6 , Block 6, Dell Park, which stated that
there were no outstanding deliquent taxes on this property. It has
now developed that taxes for the years 1926 through 1939, amounting to
$ 112.01, had been cancelled in error, through a misinterpretation
of an Act of the Legislature in 1947, but are still outstanding. He
recommended that these taxes be charged off under the prowisions of i
Resolution No. 783.
Councilman Musgrave moved that the above taxes be cancelled as
recommended by the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Kabler, and carried unanimously.
Upon motion of Councilman Kabler, seeonded by Councilman Holland,
and unanimously carried, the installation of a street light on the
corner of North Ocean Boulevard and Thomas Street was authorized.
It was explained by the City Manager that lights were spaced 300'
apart on Ocean Blvd. and Thomas Street was ih the Center of a distance
of 300'. In his opinion Street lights were needed worse in other
pla cas.
A request for a Street light on the corner of N. W. 16th. Street and
2nd. Ave. filed by Frederick M. Ells, was presented by the City Mamager
who recommended such installation, as the~e are no lights west of
Swinton Avenue.
December 10,1951
Upon motion of Councilman Holland, seconded by Councilman Musgrave,
and unanimously carried, the installation of a light on this corner was
aoproved.
Request for the installation of a street light on the corner of
N. ~. llth Street at 2nd or 3rd Avenue, was referred to the City
Manager for investigation of facilities in that area.
With reference to a request filed by property owners on North Ocean
Boulevard for the extention of curbing north of the public Beach, to enable
them to landscape their property east of the Boulevard, City.Manager
Lovelace explained that he had fouhd that the County right-of-way line runs
approximately 11' 4" east of the present roadway, which leaves very little
private property. He would not recommend putting in a cur~' at public expense,
unless land east of such curb would be donated for a public beach; other-
wise the curb should be assessed to the property owners. He estimated the
cost would be approximately$ 1300.00 for a distance of 700'.
Councilman Kabler felt tkat the Council should cooperate with these
property owners by granting their request to extend the curbing, and
permitting them to beautify their property along the Boulevard as they
have done in the past. He felt it would be an improvement for the City and
preservation for the beach.
Councilman Holland was in favor of extending the curb line, on
public right-of-way, providing the beach would be extended for the benefit
of the City.
Col. A. L. Fabens addressed ths C~uncil, and erplained that the
property owners involved considered it a Joint venture in beautifying the
beach for the benefit of the City as a whole, not for their benefit alone.
Councilman Jacobs was opposed to using Taxpayer's money for this
purpose, which he considered would be private benefit.
After further discussion, a motion was made by Counci]m~n Kabler to
delay action until a specific answer is obtained from the County Engineer
as to the exact location of the Boulevard right-of-way at this point, and
to instruct the City Manager to investigate the possibility ofms~u~g some
kind of movable material for a curbing. The motion was seconded by Council~ ·
man Holland, and upon call of roll carried, Councilmen Holland, Kabler,
Musgrave and Rothvoting in fawor of the motion, and Councilman Jacobs
voting against it.
The following Ordinance was then pre~ented, and same was read in
ORDINANCE NO. G-129
AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DELRAT-BEACH, FLORIDA,
A~DING SUB-PARAGRAPH 4 OF PARAGRAPH (b)
OF SECTION 6 OF CHAPTER XX OF THE CITY
CODE OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA.
( Providing for designation of Residence "C"
zone by "orange" on the zoning map.)
December 10,1951
Upon motion of Councilman Jacobs, seconded by CounCilman Masgrave,
and unanimously carried, the foregoing Ordinance No. G-129 was passed
and adopted as an emergency measure.
Tentative sketches for a temporary Fire Station on the Beach,
prepared by Kenneth Jacobson, Architect, were submitted by the City
Manager, who explained that the plans were adaptable to additions in the
~uture. The estimated cost of space for one fire truck and quarters
for one fireman with wood Joists and a paper roof, was $ 7,300.00. If
the Firemans bunk were built in beck of the truck space, the estimated cost
would be $ ~9'3009~O, and a masonry roof would be $ 800.00 additional.
Councilman Jocobs recommended that space be rented in the
Seacrest Hotel Garage for the Fire Truck and quarters for One Fireman
for the current year, and that any availabe funds be used for a Central,
well equipped, Fire Station for the benefit of the entire City; and
that a fire Station be built on the beach at a later date, when it is
needed.
A letter from Mr. Fred Scott, o~ner of the Seacrest Hotel, was
read as follows:
City Council, December 10,1951
City Hall,
Delray Beach, Fla.
Gentlemen:
About April 1st, the City Manager asked me if a fire truck could be
placed in The Seacrest garage, to which I was agreeable. On April 15th,
the Fire Chief asked for a room, to house two firemen, effective on that
date, but it was not until Oct. 1st that they moved in. The Matter of
rent has been discussed with the present City Manager and members of the
City Council. As far as I know, you gentlemen are still arguing
whether to pay rent or put up your own building.
You all know that the city owns a fifty foot lot, three hundred feet
north of the City Pool, or Pavilion, running from Ocean Blvd. to Andrews
Ave. on which, I believe,, there is some talk of erecting a small building
to house a fire truck and firemen. I have spoken with Mr. Kabler, Mr.
Holland and Mr. Musgrave and offered to lease a portion of Beach Lot 15
to the City For $1.00 a year for ten years, providing the City would
finish paving the 50 ft lot to be used for parking space and City purposes,
so badly needed in this area.
Gentlemen, lets not have the truck called Harry, too little or too late, for
as you know, when the truck answers a 1 A.M. call and pumps its tank of
water, a building could burn down while the Fireman waits for help to
hook up to a fire hydrant. Please give us two more Firemen; if not two
then one more, so we can have at least one fireman awake and on duty
twenty four hrs. of the day. I em ~aying a night watchman to take a look
at the fire engine-once an hour to see that the building does not burn
down where the fireman is housed.
December 10,1951
The Winter Season is now underway, and I have refused one seasonal rental
on the Apartment now occupied by the fireman. Therefore an early decision
on your part would be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Fred B. Scott.
City Manager Lovelace stated that in his opinion a Fire Station
is not needed on the Beach at the present time, except during the
construction of the Bridge on Atlantic Ave., as property on the Beach
area is as nea~ the Central Fire Station as ma_ny other sections of the
City; also that the State Insurance Inspection Bureau has never advised
that a Fire Station is needed in that section of the City. He considered
an'adequate Central Fire Station more essential to the City as a whole than
an additional station on the Beach. He recommended only a temporary arrange~u
ment for a fire truck and fireman on the Beach, which can be withdrawn when
the Atlantic Avenue Bridge is completed.
~ Miss Dorothea Galvin, from the audience, asked that a copy of the
foregoing statements with regard to the need for a fire Station on the
Beach, be sent to the Beach Taxpayers League. She stressed the fact that
they_ had been trying for many years to get fire protection on the Beach,
which they believed essential for the protection of their property.
After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Councilman
Musgrave and seconded by Councilman Jacobs, that the offer of Mr.
Scott to lease space for one truck and quarters for one fireman, in the
Seacrest Hotel Garage, for $150.00 per month, be accepted. Upon call
of roll the motion carried unanimously.
A request for an adjustment of 1951 taxes on Lot 28A, in section 8,
filed by Mr. Wm. C. Yount, was read as follows:
Sylvon Road
R. D. ~9
Pittsburgh 34, Pa.
Nov. 28,1951
City of Delray Beach
Delray Beach, Fla.
Attn. Taex Collector
Gentlemen:
I have a Lot bn Block (28A) Sec. 8 Pt. of Lot 12.
I wish to protest the valuation you have placed on this lot. There
isn't any way to get to this property, yet you put a valuation on this land
of $ 1125.00. .The County values this same property at $ 200.00. Can you
please inform me how two men can be so far apart?
The value you place on this land is more than I paid for it. If you
can sell this property for $ 1125.00, I'll gladly sell.
I trust that you will reply to this letter.
Very truly yours,
/s/ lli m c.
December 10,1951
It was explained by the City Manager that~no~ch~nges?~ould
made on the Tax Roi1, except ~o correct errors. As this property had been
assessed the same as all surrounding property, he recommended that the
request be denied.
A motion wss made by Councilman Kabler, and seconded by Councilman
Jacobs that the City Manager's recommendation be accepted, and upon call
of roil the motion carried unanimously.
A request for a reduction in 1951 taxes on a portion of Lot 13,
section 20, filed by Attorney J. W. Nowlin, owner, was read as follows'.
November 29,1951
Honorable City Council
Delray Beach, Fla.
Gentlemen: Re: The South half (S~) of the
North half (N½) of the East
half (E~) of Lot 13, Section
20-46-43.
I received my tax statement on this property showing a City
valuation of $ 1,315.00. I purchased the property this year for $500.00
through. Dorothea A. Galvin, a real estate broker. I believe that the
$500.00 was, therefore, the real market value of the same and that the
City assessed valuation of $ 1,315.00 is far in excess of the real value.
I will appreciate it if you cam authorize your Tax Assessor to
correct this error to show a valuation not in exeess of the market value.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration of this matter,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
/si J. w. owlin
It was explained by City Manager Lovelace that all acreage in
Section 20 had been assessed on the same basis, although land south of
10th Street, which is a less developed area, might not be considered of
the same value.
After consideration, a motion was made by Councilman Kabler, to
advise Mr. Nowlin by letter that as there appears to be no error in
assessment, his only recourse will be through the Equalization Board which
will meet in March, 1952.
A letter from Nowlin & Adams, Attorneys for Robert P. ~etman and
John H. Adams, developers of Blue Seas ~ubdivision, requesting the rezoning
of the E~st 200 ' of Lot 27, Model Land Company's Subdivision of Section 9,
which is a part of this Subdivision, from a Residence "A" District to a
Special Hotel and Apartment District, was read as follows:
December 10,1951
Nov.19,1951
H~norable City Council
Delray Beach, Florida
Gentlemen:
Robert P. Swetman and John H. ~ms have requested that this office
represent them in a matter concerning the rezoning of the following
described pr~ ~rty:
The Eaa% 200 feet of Lot 2?, Model Land
0Ompany's subdivision of Section 9, Township
46 South, Range 43 East.
It is respectfully requested that the zoning of this property
be changed from its present Residence "A" to Special Hotel and Apartment
class. It is our opinion that the above described property should be
rezoned for the following reasons:
1. Geographically, you will note from the attached sketch that
the North side of the above described property is bounded on the north
by the City Limits of Delray Beach, the same being the south boundary
line of the City Limits of ~ Stream. Lots 17 and 18 of Palm Beach
Shore Acres, which is located directly across the street from the north
portion of this property, is in the City of Delray Beach and is zoned
Special Hotel and Apartment and has had quite an expensive and expansive
hotel and apartment improvement placed thereon within the last eight
months. Lots 19 and 20 of Palm Beach Shore Acres is vacant and unimproved.
Immediately west of the property in question all the way over to the
City L~m~t line the property is xoned Special Hotel and Apartment.
Therefore, ~o the east and t~ the west of 'the property in question, we
have a zoning of Special Hotel and Apartment.
2.' The property in question lies approximately 270 feet running
north ~nd south along State Road No. A1A, the same also being known as
Ocean Roulev~rd. I point out that State Road No. AiA is the alternate
highway running north and south and is one of the two main arteries
servicing the North and South traffic into and out of South Florida.
Whereas, the South boundary line of the property in question is located
on 8th Street, which is at present the only artery available for use
connecting D~lray proper with the beach area, and eventually when Atlantic
Avenue Bridge hgs been completed, will be one of the two main arteries
connecting said area. I point out further that the intersection of 8th
Street and Florida State Road No. AIA has offered such a traffic problem
since the completion of 8th Street and before Atlantic Avenue was un-
available for u~e that it had become necessary to install a stop light
at s~id corner because of the tremendous amount of traffic passing thereby.
I point out that geographically the property in question is the northwest
corner of the intersection of 8th Street and State Road AiA which at the
present time is one of the busiest intersections in our City.
3. I further point out that slightly north and east of the property
in question, however, in the City of Gulf Stream, Mr. W. T. Jebb, Jr.
maintains and operates a limited business in the nature of a beach club.
This business property is within a distance of 120 feet of the property
here in question.
December 10,1951
4. The zoning of the property in question is predicated upon
zoning regulations of manyyears s~anding, and since the original zoning
of this property, conditions have materially changed. 8th Street and
8yh Street Bridge have been built, properties on three sides of the
property in question have been rezoned and improved all of which has
resulted in the fact that the corner of 8th Street and State Road No.
A1A has become one of the busiest corners in our city. It would,
therefore, seem that being generally surrounded by hotel and apartment
site zonings and being located at the corner of 8th Street and &IA,
the above ~escribed property no longer benefits from its zoning
status as a Residence "A" and has los% all value as such and the
progressive growth of the City of Delray Beach seems to demand that
this property be zoned Special Hotel and Apartments or Limited Business
to take care of the need of same as well as the growth requirements
within our area. From an inspection of the sketch herein attached,
it will be noted that the property here in question is the only inter-
upted break in the otherwise regular zoning alon~ the north boundary
line of the City Limits; the regular zoning beong S~ecial Hotel and
Apartment Site.
This petition is respectfully submitted by Nowlin & ~ams,
Attorneys.

Navigarion District to a 25' strip, of land lying north of Basin
Drive was accepted, and ordered filed.
A report from the Zoning Board with reference to a request for
a temporary'per~tt submitted by E. W. Ennis, Contractor, to build a
small office or store building on the Southeast corner of the North
Federal Highway and 8th Street, without complying with regulations
of the Building code and the Zoning Ordinance, was read as follows:
December 10,1951.
Members of the City Council
Delray Beach
Florida
Gentlemen:
The Zoning and Planning Board met on November 29th to consider
a request for a temporary permit, filed by Mr. E. W. Ennis, to build
a frame office or store building on the Southeast corner of N. Federal
Highway and 8th Street, which was referred to us by the City Council ....
After explaining to Mr. Ennis that by granting a permit for a
temporary structure, which does not comply with ceiling height
requirement ina business zone; and as a frame building is not permitted
in this fire Zone, a dangerous precedent would be established, he agree~
to withdraw his request and comply with requirements of the Building
Code and Zoning Ordinance.
The Board alson established a policy to approve no temporary permits
except those covered by the Building Code.
Very truly yours
Isl'
Kenneth Jacobson
Chairman - Zoning and
Planning Board
A motion was made by Councilman Kabler that the report of the Zoning
Board be accepted. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jacobs, and
was unanimously carried upon call of roll.
Upon the recommendation of Councilman Holland, the City Manager
was instructed to prepare a policy for the use of the Menorial Athletic
Field, when released by the High School Athletic Co~m~m~ttee, so that
the Field will be properly utilized, and a duplicat&on of schedules will
be avoided.
December 10,1951
Councilman Holland also recommended the installation of additional
lights at the Municipal Swimmin~ PS,l, so that the Pool can be used
at night for giving lessons, or for swimming meets or other functions.
Upon motion of Councilman Kabler, seconded by Councilm~ ~lsgrave,
and unanimously carried, the City Manager was instructed to have such
lights installed as he feels are necessary for good night lighting.
The employment of a Life ~uard at the Pool was discussed, as well
as the possibility of appointing one person to supervise or man~ge the
pool, and act as Life Guard as well, on a year rould basis, it being
understood that there must be a Life Guard on duty at all times while
the Pool is open.
After consideration, a motion was made by Council.m~n Kabler to
ask the City Manager to submit a report on the present and possible
future policies of operating the Pool. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Holland, and upon call of roll carried unanimously.
City Manager Lovelace advised the Council that a Pick~up Truck
was needed for the For_-,~n of the garbage and trash departments, so that
he would be able to check on all routes, and make pick-ups which are
called in. He now has to ride with one crew, whAch leaves all other
crews without supervision.
Bids for a 3/4 Ton Pick-up Truck had been received as follows:
1. Joe Blank Motor Co. of West Palm Beach - $ 1,660.62
2. Twin City Chevrolet, Inc. of W.Palm Beach 1,692.00
3. Adams Chevrolet Co. of Delray Beach 1,700.00
4. Danner Ford, Inc. of Delray Beach 1,800.00
The purchase of a Dodge Truck from Joe Blank Motor Co. of West
Palm Beach, for $ 1,660.62 was recommended by the City M,nager, being
the lowest bid received.
As the difference between the low bid of $ 1,660.62 and the bid
of the Adams Chevrolet Co., which is a local concern, was o~ly $40.00
the Council felt that more than this amount might be saved by convenience
in service, and upon motion of Councilman Musgrave, seconded by Council-
ma__n ~acobs, and unanimously c~rried, the proposal ef the Adams Chevrolet
Co. to furnish one 3/4 Ton Chevrolet Pick-Up Truck was specified, for
the total amount of $ 1,700.00, was accepted, as the lowest competent
and best bid rec&ived, after taking into consideration the future
servicing of the equipment.
Upon motion of Oouncilman Holland, seconded by Coumcilman Kabler
and unanimously carried, bills in the amount of $ 49,034.06 were
approved for payment, subject to approval of the Finance Committee.
City Manager Lovelace explained that the cost of moving the
outside staircase in connection with the construction of additions to
the Jail, was included in this total, in the amount of $ 511.27, which
represented cost of materials and labor furnished by the Contractor and
not included in his contract.
City ~anager LoveAace advised the Council that he had received
