Regular meeting of the City Council of the C~.ty of ~elray Beach w~s held in
the Council Chambers at 7:30 P. M. with ?ayor J. L. Saunders in the ~h~.i~r~ and
City Manager Charles E. 3i~ck, City Att.-~rney John Moore, and the following Comnci!-
men present: L. H. Brannon, John N. Kabler, Nell E. ~acMil!an and Walter A. Roth,
a ouoruy~ being p~w~sent.
~r. R. E. McCabe, purchaser of the Woman's Club buildir~ on East Atlantic
Avenue, addressed the Counc~_ZL, asking approval of ter~tative plans he had had
prepared to enlarge the two front windows, &~d possibly construct a concrete
buildin~ east of the present buildirg, to conform with all restrictions and
zoning regulations.
City Mar, ager Black explained that he did not believe there would be a con-
flict of regulations in this case, although the bui!din~ is a frame building in a
no. 1 Fire Zone; as the use of the b~i!ding would not be changed, and the dimen-
sions would not be altered, nor would a bear~ng wall be disturbed. The re.olace-
me. at of the two front wLndows would not charge the size of the building, and he
felt Mr. McCabe's request was reasonable.
A motion was made by Comnc[lman ~;_acNillan, seconded by Councilman Brannon,
that the matter be referred to the City Attorney for checking of OrdLnances and
z~gulatlons, and if he fLads the~ is no conflict, the permit be granted as re-
ouested. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously.
City Attorney Moore stated th,~t we would eventually have conformity with the
No. 1 Fire Zone by not allowing alterations to be made to buildings in confliction
with require~oents, but in this case he did not consider the life of the building
would be prolonged, Wh~.ch is the important factor. He asked for time to study the
No. 1 Fire Zone requirements more thoroughly.
Mrs. L. C. Hand, speaking for the Palm Beach County School Board appeared
before the Council in the ~terest cf the new High School being built between this
City and Boynton, to serve Boynton, De]ray Beach and Boca Eaton. She exolained
that the only road to the school at the present time is No,th SwLnton Avenue, which
has two sharp turns, and will be dangerous for children riding bicycles and scooters
to school. She stated that the School Board felt that the Board of County Commissa
ioners wo~Lld assist ir~ opening N. E. 2nd Avenue, at least outside of the City limits,
which ~ould provide a direct road from Delray Beach and Boca Eaton to 'bhe new school,
and asked the Co~_~cil to pass a Resolution reouestirg~ them to consider such a oroject.
S~e stated that' the school buildia~.~ would be ready for use by September, and the
School Board hoped to provide a suitable access to t~he school by that t~me.
A motion was made by Councilman Mac~illan, seconded by Co~_qcilman Kabler, that
a Resolution be adopted as requested by ~rs. Hand, and a copy sent to the Board of
Co~ty Commissioners. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously.
The follo~ng Resolution was then presented, and same was read in full:
RESOLUTION NO. 72.5
A RESOLUTION OF ~HE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DEIRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, REQI~STING THE BOARD [F CO%~TY COMMISSIONERS OF PALM
BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, TO ~,{Ah-'E N. E. 2ND AVENUE IN SAID CITY
A COUNTY ROAD, AND EXTEMD SAID AVEN%~ TO ~E NEW DEI3~AY-BOYNTON
HIGH SCHOOL, AND SECURE'THE NECESSARY RIGHTS-OF-WAY FOR SUCH
E×TENS ION.
FEBRUARY 22ND~, 19~9.
V~{EREAS, a new High School is in the process of construction, which High School
will serve the Communities of Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Boca Raxton, and
WHEREAS, t~ existing road facilities for the normal addition of traffic which
will necessarily result from the erection and operation of such High School are
grossly inadequate, and
~,ZqEREAS, North Swinton Aven~e is the only Street from tbs City of Delray Beach
and Boca Raton which could possibly carry traffic to said High School, and said
North Swinton Avenue is narrow and has dangerous curves which we feel would result
in accidents and fatalities to the pupils at. tending said High School.
N~, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY T~ CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
be requested to make N. E. 2nd Avenue, in the City of Delray Beach, Florida, a
County Road, and extend said Avenue to the new Delray-Boynton High School, and
secure the necessary rights-of-way for such extens~on.

Nr. A. R. Bates then addressed the Council, with reference to an occupational
license granted to him for tho operation of a Dry Cleaning Unit, in connection with
his Automatic lanndry business located at 20 East Atlantic Avenue, which unit he
operated for about three months before the Council revoked his license because the
business was located in a No. i Fire Zone.
Nr. Bates contended that he had been giving "Same Day" Valet service, which
can not be classed as an industrial cleaning business. He had also tried to main-
tain a favorable price level, and keep pace with progress by offering this serve, ce,
which would be a benefit to the City. He stated that the. Fire Chief had inspected
his building and found nothing that would not meet requirements of Fire Zone No. 1
except it did not have a flame proof ceiling. This he had agreed to install. He
claimed that this business was being operated in a separate building which faces on
the. alley south of Atlantic Avenue, and not on Atlantic Avenue, and that the license
had been revoked only because of a complaint from a competitor. He also stated that
he had made his Lnvest~nt in equipment after having been granted a license to
operate~3the business, and he did not feel the Council was justified in causing him
this financial loss.
The City Attorney advised ~r. Bates that the l~cense was issued contrary to
an Ordinance, therefore it was no license at all, and the City could not be held
liable for any loss incurred by him.
After further d ~.scu~sion by the Council a motion was made by Councilm~n Kabler,
seconded by Councilman Brannon, that the license be reinstated to operate on~ dry
cleaning unit after the building has been fire-pro6fed in accordance with instructions
of tho Building Inspector and the Fire Chief. Upon call of roll the motion carried
unanimously.
FEBRU~qY 22k~), 19&9
Upon motion of Comncilman Brannon, seconded by Councilman Roth, unanimously
carried, a license to sell beer and wine at &OS East Atlantic Avenue, to be
operated as "R~ay's Snack Bar", was ap~-~roved ~
Miss Dorthea Galvin complained of a sign which had been erected on East
Atlantic Avenue on a small concrete building located just east of the Intra- ~
coastal Canal, advertising "Boats, Tackle and Bait" for sale. She also com-
plained of tl~ size of the building which had recently been constructed.
City ~anager Black advised ~fiss Galvin that the sign had been put up with-
out a permit, and the o~ner of the buildings, would be resuested to take the
sign down arJ obtain a permit f~om the Building Deoartm~.nt. Permit for the con-
struction of the buildin==, however, was only temporary, although the applicant
could have demanded a regular permit under oresent ord~/~ances.
A mote. on was the-r, made by Councilmao. Brannon, seconded by Co~unciiman Mac-
· ~liillan, that an emergency Ordinm~ce be prepared by the City Attorney, to require
the same restrictions as to set-backs and the size of buildings on East Atlantic
Avenue as on West Atlantic Avenue, namely Special BusJ. ness Zone require~nts,
which will also require Council approval before the issuance of any building
permit. Upon call of roll the motion carried mnanimous!y.
A motion was then made by Counc~_lman Brarnaon, that an Ordinance be passed
immediately to regulate the size and type of signs that can be e~cted, pro-
hibitdng any signs or bill boards of advertising nature on the Federal Highway
and Atlantic Avenue, except that established merchants be granted permission to
erect neon signs parallel ~ith the building, not to extend out over the sidewalk
more than t~ thickness of the sign, or not more than four inches; limiting the
use of preser~ signs to eighteen months, and requiring Council approval of each
application before per,nit is granted. The motion was seconded by Co~cilman --~
MacMillan, and upon call of roll carried unanimously.
After discussir~ the limiting of Real Estate Brokers use of signs, as %0 ,
type, size and number to be allowed, a motion was rmde by Councilman.~'~ MacMillan
seconded by Councilman Brannon, that the Realty Board be asked if they would be
in accord with the passage of an Ordinance Drohibiting or restricting realty
signs, and if not what their recommendation would be. Upon call of roll the
motion carrie d unanimously.

On January 16, 19A9 one Bill %~illiams a white male from Ranoke, Virginia

imposed on him by the Court. At this time I would like to recommend that the ·
other thirty (30) days be suspended. He has been a model prisoner and t~is the
