11-01-49SpMtg NOVEMBER 1ST, 1949. A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray Beach was held in the Council Chambers at 4:30 P. m. with Mayor J. L. Saunders in the Chair, and City Attorney John Moore, City Manager Chas. E. Black, and the following Councilmen present: L. H. Brannon, John N. Kabler, Neil E. MacMillan, and Walter A. Roth, a quorum being present. Mr. Jay R. Shattuck again appeared before the Council, with reference to his previous request for permit to erect an a~uing in front of his restaurant on So. Ocean Boulevard, ~hich would extend 4'6" over the sidewalk, with no stantions or supports on the sidewalk, nor blocking of the sidewalk in any way. This request had been tabled at a previous meeting. After consideration, a motion was made by Councilman MacMillan, seconded by Councilman Kabler, that permit be granted, as other similar awnings had been permitted to be erected in the City. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. City Manager Black explained to the Council that Mr. C. Y. Byrd, of the Board of County Commissioners, had tentatively promised that the County would pay for necessary work to be done on the beach in building up the shoulder from 8' to 10', although he would have to get the approval of the Board at its next meeting. Mr. Black stated that the necessary machinery was available locally, aud he estimated that the shoulder could be evened up from 8' to 10' for ~p proximately $ 400.00. He suggested that he be authorized to start the work, feeling sure the County would pay for it. He recommended the use of a drag-line rather than a bulldozer, as it could move more fill in a shorter time. Upon motion of Councilman Kabler, seconded by Councilman Mac- Millau, the City Manager was authorized to e~ploy Howard Cromer to start this work, spending up to the extent the County will allow, and upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. Proof of publication of Invitation to Bid on furnishing certain automobile ecpipment was presented, and spread upon the minutes as follows: Ih~YITATION TO BID The City of Delray Beach will receive sealed bids until 4:30 P.

With reference to a required front set-back of 20' in a Business #l District on West 5th Avenue, City Manager Bla..x stated t~t at the time the property owners on this street deeded 5' to the City for the construction of a sidewalk, they were told that 'their set-back from the sidewalk could be 10', the same as in other Business Districts. They had understood that their set-back would be 10' from the street side of the sidewalk. The Zoning Board had unofficially reco~.ended that if a change were made ,it be reduced from 20' to 15' so that the ~ ' ~ at t 70' distance betwoeu bU~=ldzngs would be leas After discussion, however, a motion was mad~ by Councilman Brannon, seconded by Councilman MacMillan, that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to change the front set-back requirement in a Business #I District on West Fifth Avenue from 20' to 10', and that any applica- tions already filed for building peri, its be approved on this basis. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. Application filed by Harry G. & Twtla J. Bare, for permit to construct a small guest house with car port attached, on Lot 1~, Block 106, in thc rear of an existing building, was approved upon motion of Councilmau Brannon, seconded by Councilman Mac~..~llan, and unanimously carried, subject to final approval of the Building In- spector. ~n application filed by Mrs. R. B. Belden, for special permit to erect a car port and modernize her home located on Lot 2, Block 2, Del Ida Park, filed at a prex~ous raeeting, had been referred to the Zoning Board, ~no made the fo!lo~ ng reco~_~endation: "The request of Mrs. R. B. Belden for a Special Pez~uit to i~prove and make additions to her property located on Lots i and 2, Block 2, Del Ida Park, without complying with set-back requirements, was con- sidered. The Zoning Board re co r~e nd s that the permit be granted in con- sideration of a waiver of compensation should the ..~ity ever require the use of the property on which the improve~nts are made." ~ motion was made by Councilman MacMillan, seconded by Council- man Kabler, that Special Permit be granted, without the recommended waiver, as the hou~e is set back 60' from the center of Swinton Ave. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. The meeting then adjourned. City C~erk APPROVED: MAYOR NOV~I~BER 3RD, 1949. A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray Beach was held in the City Manager's office at 4:30 p. m. with Mayor J. L. Saunders in the Chair, and City Manager Chas. E. Black, and thc following Councilmen present: John N. Kabler and Nell E. MacMillan, a quorum beir~ present. A tabulation of bids received November 1st, for furnishing certain specified automobile equipment, was presented by the City Manager, which is filed with the data concerning this meeting. The tabulation of proposals received showed the Delray Beach Motors as the low bidder on 2-Ton Dum~ Trucks, their proposal being $ 2,?96.00 plus ~ 30.00 for 100 HP V-U Motors, and tbs Delray Service Garage as the low bidder on Pick-Up Trucks, with no allowance for trade-in of old trucks, their bid being ~ 1,225.00 each for 1/2 Ton Chevrolet Trucks. However, considering the trade-in allowance on old equipment offered by,~R~lank Motor~ Company, of hTest Palm Beach, their bid on 1/2 Ton/~Yc~-Up trucks would be ~ 1,190.00 for one truck, and ~ 1,300.00 for thc second truck. Mr. C. F. Kiesel, representing the Joe Blank Motor Company, pointed out that a certified check in the amount of ~% of their bid had accompanied their proposal to furnish this equipment, and that no check or Bid Bond had been furnished by the Delray Service Garage, nor by the Delray Beach Motors, although it had been required in the Invitation to Bid. The City Manager explained that the Notice also provided that the City Council would have the right to waive any or all formalities. Councilman MacMillan stated that he was willing to over-look the lack of a Bid Bond being filed, and to establish a policy whereby such bonds would not be required in the future. He also suggested that only the two 2-Ton trucks be purchased at this time, and that the low bid of the Delray Beach Motors be accepted, and the two Pick-Up Trucks be purchased at a l~ter date, although he knew they were badly needed to replace worn-out equipment. After further discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Kabler, seconded by Council~nan MacMills~u, that t~0 2-Ton Trucks be purchased from the Delray Beach Motors '~ $ 2,796.00 each, plus ~ 30.00 each for 100 HP V-8 motors, and upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. The meeting then adjourned. City Clerk AP PRO VED:
