Mrs. Meeks stated one of the goals of the Education Board presented to the Commission in June 2011 was to focus on the 0-8 child for school readiness because this is what the City heard from the community and principals. She stated shortly after that the City Manager sent her an email from the National Civic League that they were putting a national call out for action for communities to address third grade reading proficiency. Mrs. Meeks stated the National Civic League is partnering with the All-America City people and United Way to mobilize communities to address three issues in their communities: (1) school readiness, (2) chronic absenteeism, and (3) summer learning loss. Mrs. Meeks stated the first step would be to submit a Letter of Intent and the National Civic League provides help to write the application which would be due in March 2012 and the ten cities who win would be announced at their national conference in June and if Delray is selected as a city they would actually be provided with funding and resources to implement the best plan within your community. Mrs. Meeks displayed a short video from the National League of Cities. Dr. Debra Kaiser, member of the Education Board, stated they formed a cross functional team and have about 15 people across the community and public and private sector; and have begun to look at the data to see how Delray Beach compares to the numbers in the video. Dr. Kaiser stated the school age poverty has increased 25% in the last five years so we have gone from 47% of our kids in poverty to 59%; Village Academy and Pine Grove are 95%. Dr. Kaiser stated although they have doubled their reading level in the last ten years only 58% in third grade read on grade level. She stated based on the National Civic League data we can project a loss of 221 high school graduates because of the combination of poverty and learning. She stated 5% of the students or 121 students in that group miss 10% of school days a month or more each year. Dr. Kaiser stated Delray Beach has approximately 2,000 students in kindergarten through third grade level and 75% of those kids have some kind of summer experience 4 10/04/11 such as summer camp or summer care program but only 25% of those students have a defined academic curriculum. Dr. Kaiser stated they are optimistic about the future because of the partnership that the City has demonstrated with the schools and local agencies. She stated the increase in poverty level over the last five years would have caused a major decline if they did not have the City’s support like the Eagles Nest and Criminal Justice Programs at Atlantic High School, Carver’s Morning Program, Plumosa School of the Arts, Village Academy’s Beacon Program and the Achievement Center for Children and Families. Dr. Kaiser stated they look forward to working with their Campaign for Grade Level Reading Committee to develop a plan that will build on a strong Delray Beach foundation and help each child to read on grade level within the next five years and look for the City’s continued support. Mr. Frankel moved to approve the Letter of Intent for the Campaign for Reading Readiness, seconded by Mr. Carney. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 7.C.

Ms. Colonna stated the CRA is pleased to have him onboard and he will be working in the CRA District and throughout the City.

Dr. Alperin moved to approve the Consent Agenda as amended, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9. REGULAR AGENDA: 9.A.A. AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT/TOWN OF GULF STREAM: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Gulf Stream to provide for an increase in the fee paid to the City based upon the Town's annexation of additional property. The City Attorney stated this is the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and the Town of Gulf Stream and the terms of the agreement were discussed at the August 2, 2011 Commission Meeting and at that time direction was given that once Gulf Stream approved it staff would bring it back to the Commission. 9 10/04/11 Mr. Frankel explained that he removed this item because in his opinion the City of Delray Beach did not get as much as they deserved and therefore he is not in favor of going forward. Mr. Carney stated he spent a lot of time analyzing the contract and the issues surrounding the contract. He stated although he appreciates the view that some have expressed that the standard for applying what pricing should be used would be dwelling units, the point of fact is that the contract provided that the standard was population. Mr. Carney stated this is a situation where applying the standard gives the City of Delray Beach the biggest benefit in the balance because 40% of the population of Gulf Stream is gone in the summer and all of these people are paying for fire services, etc. for things they are not using. Mr. Carney commented about the issue regarding the 38 units that were to be constructed at the old Sea Horse Club and stated they are not constructed. Mr. Carney stated he measured this on the amount of current usage and also looked at the amount of actual usage as it relates to the people in Gulf Stream who are calling on the services of Delray Fire-Rescue and 78% of them were for emergency services not for fire and a fair percentage of them resulted in transportation being given by the City of Delray Beach to hospitals in the area and the City for the most part was reimbursed for this service. Dr. Alperin stated he is comfortable with the formula. Mayor McDuffie stated he spent a lot of time on that as well including speaking to the Mayor and Town Administrator. Mayor McDuffie stated he has other meetings with Mayors across Palm Beach County and he is very aware that the formula that is used essentially takes the cost and adds 25% to it so the City makes a profit on the contract. However, there are at least six barrier island municipalities right now that are not happy with the contracts that they have and they have banned together to release an RFP to privatize all their fire service on the barrier island in those six communities. Mayor McDuffie stated he is comfortable with the formula and supports it as well. Mrs. Gray moved to approve Item 9.A.A. (formerly 8.J.), seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – No; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.A. WAIVER REQUEST/DECK 84: Consider a waiver request to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.4.13 (F)(4)(a)(2), “Front Setbacks”, to reduce the required front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”), to allow for the installation of a support column and knee wall associated with new sliding glass doors in the same location as existing windows for Deck 84 located at 840 East Atlantic Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie read the City of Delray Beach procedures for a Quasi-Judicial Hearing into the record for this item and all subsequent Quasi-Judicial Hearings. 10 10/04/11 Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. Mr. Frankel stated he has been to Deck 84 numerous times but has not had one communication about the subject matter. Mrs. Gray stated she had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he too has attended many functions at Deck 84 and spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner today. Mr. Carney stated he spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner today and he did not speak about this issue and noted he has been to Deck 84. Dr. Alperin stated he has been to Deck 84 and spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner. Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2011-143 into the record. Mr. Dorling stated this is a recommendation of approval for a waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)2 to reduce the front setback from five feet (5’) to 8 inches to allow the installation of a support column and knee wall associated with new sliding glass doors in the same location as the existing windows. He stated Deck 84 is on the south side of Atlantic Avenue on the Intracoastal Waterway. Mr. Dorling stated at its meeting of September 21, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) approved with conditions a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) and Class I Site Plan Modification for elevation changes on the front and rear facades of Deck 84. The HPB considered this waiver request concurrently with the COA and Site Plan requests and recommended approval with a vote of 7 to 0. Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, representing the applicant, stated they are not encroaching any further than the existing encroachment; those fixed windows are sliding windows. Mr. Weiner stated they have complete unanimity by the Historic Preservation Board and this meets the requirements for substantial competent evidence. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the waiver request, to please come forward at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the waiver request, the public hearing was closed. Mrs. Gray asked what the purpose of the sliding glass door is. The applicant stated this is to make the location more attractive and more inviting. Mrs. Gray stated this is going to be beautiful there. Dr. Alperin stated there is no room for tables outside and asked if they will allow air in for the circulation. 11 10/04/11 Mayor McDuffie asked if the knee wall is going to come down. The applicant stated the knee wall is going to stay and the mulch is going to come out and it will be covered with the same travertine that is on the outside and on the floor of the building. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the Commission who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes). Mr. Frankel moved to adopt the Board Order as presented, seconded by Mr. Carney. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.B. CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD’S DECISION/CLASS III SITE PLAN MODIFICATION: Consider an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s denial of the Class III site plan modification request for 85 S.E. 6th Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) 9.B.1. CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD’S DECISION/WAIVER REQUEST: Consider a waiver request to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)(2), “Parking”, for six required parking spaces for 85 S.E. 6th Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie stated anyone wishing to speak on Item 9.B., 9.B.1., 9.C., and 9.C.1. and who has not been sworn in to please stand and be sworn in by the City Clerk. Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. Mr. Frankel stated he received a call from Michael Weiner who is the Attorney for the applicant about this agenda item. Mrs. Gray stated she has no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he received a call from Attorney Michael Weiner as well. Mr. Carney stated he spoke to Mr. Lynne briefly a couple of days ago and Mr. Weiner today. Dr. Alperin stated he spoke to Mr. Weiner today. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2011-061 into the record. Mr. Dorling stated this is a consideration of an appeal of a Historic Preservation Board (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The Board made a motion to approve a Class III Site Plan Modification which failed on a 0 to 5 vote. Mr. Dorling stated at its meeting of August 16, 1995, the Historic Preservation Board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for some improvements that were for two of the 12 10/04/11 three buildings. In 1995, there was a conversion of the Blank House from a single-family residence to a retail use and also a conversion of a two-car garage to an office building and a nine space parking lot. He stated the conversions occurred but none of the parking improvements associated with that conversion was constructed and subsequently the office was never legally established. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, the applicant submitted Site Plan Applications and was approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improvements. Mr. Dorling stated each of those applications was allowed to expire and none of the required improvements were ever constructed associated with that office conversion. Mr. Dorling stated August 3, 2004, the applicant was granted the ability to pay for two in-lieu parking spaces and included the installation of the balance of required spaces on-site in a configuration off the City’s parking lot. He stated in 2004 there was a proposal to put in a tea garden and eliminate the parking. The 2004 approval allowed inlieu of two spaces and four spaces in either configuration off the parking lot and that approval was granted; however, the parking improvements were never constructed. At its meeting of August 21, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) reviewed another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all required (6 spaces) associated with the Class III Site Plan Modification for the office space. This request was not supported and the appeal of both the denial of the waiver and this Class III Plan Modification are now before the City Commission. Mr. Dorling stated this is a request to completely waive the requirement. At its meeting March 10, 2011, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) recommended denial of the waiver to the required parking; at its meeting of March 14, 2011, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request and the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applicant to work out an alternative approach with staff and return to the DDA for further review; at its meeting of June 28, 2011, the Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) also recommended denial of the request to waive all six (6) parking spaces and suggested that the applicant work with staff and possibly provide three spaces on-site and provide three (3) spaces onsite and provide the other through an in-lieu agreement. Mr. Dorling reiterated that the applicant does not want to provide the parking nor does he want to pay for the parking. Staff believes that they should be responsible for that parking in one configuration or another and recommends that this appeal not be upheld and that the original recommendation by HPB stands. Mr. Dorling stated if the Commission should decide otherwise, staff would like the four (4) conditions on page two to be applied. Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, briefly discussed a request associated with a Class III Site Plan Modification to the property located at 85 S.E. 6th Avenue known as the Blank House. Mr. Weiner stated the Blank House is designated on the Local Historic Register built in 1903 updated through the 40’s and 50’s and it was converted to restaurant use in 1995. The restaurant is a little over 2,000 square feet and the office is 1,000 square feet. 13 10/04/11 Various site plans have been proposed for this site but because of conditions that were added the applicant has been reluctant to commence construction. With respect to the current request, the City is recommending that there be six (6) parking spaces added. Mr. Weiner stated they would have to add about 700 square feet of pavement for a 1,000 square foot office. Mr. Weiner stated these requirements and other requirements in the staff report cannot be imposed because LDR Section 4.5.1 of the LDRs stating that parking relief be granted by the HPB if the following conditions are met: (1) that adequate parking proposed for the use and that the parking be achieved by alternate means and (2) that those alternative means be found to be in keeping with the provisions of the Delray Beach Historic Design Guidelines. He stated the elements for relief are met and in 2008 the City placed this ordinance in the LDRs in order to accommodate this kind of situation. Mr. Weiner stated in a report signed by Ron Hoggard and Paul Dorling in support of that ordinance it stated that the language was added to regulate parking by presenting additional options. Mr. Weiner displayed a photo of the property taken March 11, 2011, and the parking lot immediately adjacent is utilized at only 40%. He stated this is substantial competent evidence there are alternate means for parking. Mr. Weiner stated the Planning and Zoning Department has informed him that they would not consider the request unless they submitted a Class III site plan modification. Mr. Weiner stated they have done this under protest and reserve all rights and noted that a Class III application is not required for a waiver to LDR Section 4.5.1. He stated the office use is grandfathered in and previously established and not illegal. Mr. Weiner stated this was approved, tax receipts were issued, and there was a Code Enforcement matter that was resolved ending up in confirmation of the completion of the work and approval of this use. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the appeal, to please come forward at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the appeal, the public hearing was closed. There was no cross-examination. The following individuals gave a brief rebuttal: Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated there was a tax receipt issued for this property but that does not give land use authority. There was a Code violation issued for installation of replacement doors for a garage. Mr. Dorling stated that was closed out and they did pay a fine and that did not resolve the outstanding issue for many years about the parking and they came in two years later to talk about the parking and to seek alternatives. He stated that is when the City Commission talked about alternatives with providing the in-lieu and the options for parking off-site. Mr. Dorling stated the ordinance that Mr. Weiner talks about providing a waiver and alternative means was not envisioned to waiving all the requirements and having the public provide the parking but it was to provide additional options in these situations where paving of the site is inappropriate you can provide in-lieu fees or an off-site parking agreement. 14 10/04/11 Mr. Weiner briefly discussed the letter from staff and made reference to the building permits which stated “enclosed garage for additional office use” (March 17, 2000). He stated the doors went up without approval but it was done for the purpose of being an office. Mr. Weiner stated the City passed 4.5.1 that states to give relief to historic sites and the Parking Management Advisory Board report says if it is 1,000 square feet and it is close to a parking lot their recommendation is no parking spaces. He stated the issue of this office space was closed. Mr. Frankel stated he is troubled that staff has been discussing this building and feels 1995 is a long time for this place to be in operation if it is not compliant with what they are supposed to be. Mr. Frankel stated he finds the case Joe Redner v. the City of Tampa very persuasive. Mr. Frankel made reference to page 3 of the documents submitted by Mr. Weiner in his argument and stated these are powerful documents and noted the 2003 letter that states this is in compliance. With regard to the parking issue, there is a parking lot on Federal Highway and other than at night it is pretty empty during the day. Bert Handlesman, owner of the property, stated he has never seen more than one person in there. Mr. Frankel asked what kind of business operates out of the business space. The owner stated it is clerical work. Mr. Frankel stated the Parking Management Advisory Board recommended putting in three spaces and asked if there is any room for compromise. Mr. Weiner stated they have offered one space. The City Manager stated staff has worked with the applicant and has been very patient with the applicant for 16 years and feels we have provided a good compromise in allowing the parking spaces to be located off the driveway in the public parking lot so there is minimal disruption to the site and no disruption to the historic appearance of the site. Mrs. Gray asked about the parking process and asked why the City did not go after them and make them do this. Mr. Dorling stated it was five separate occasions and as these site plans expired and it was brought to their attention that they needed to do something they came in and got site plan approval again. There is a two year time period for which the site plan is validated and during those two years those improvements are expected to be installed. Mr. Dorling stated the record shows that there have been five attempts or renewals of site plans with parking scenarios that have never been implemented. Mrs. Gray stated there should be some sort of compromise by the applicant and supports staff’s recommendation. Mr. Carney stated he would like to see Mr. Weiner come up with some parking and feels one in-lieu space is not enough. Dr. Alperin stated he is in shock that it has been 16 years and this is still here. He feels there needs to be a Workshop to discuss why something like this was allowed to continue. Dr. Alperin briefly discussed the ordinances and stated three boards recommended denial of this application. 15 10/04/11 Mr. Carney inquired about Mr. Weiner’s “51% argument”. Mr. Weiner stated there are 76 spaces in the parking lot called Gladiola and the parking report states that it is not utilized at more than 51%; 50% of 76 spaces is approximately 38 spaces next to 1,000 square feet. Mr. Carney stated he is troubled with giving away six (6) spaces. Mayor McDuffie stated he thought he saw some compelling evidence and it troubles him that he now has to sit on the dais as Mayor who was not on the Commission when all this started and make a decision about something that is 16 years old. Dr. Alperin stated the Commission has to make a decision based on the ordinance now. The City Manager stated another alternative is to table this ordinance and allow staff put together a thorough history of this whole parking issue over the entire 16 year period. Mr. Weiner stated the owner has spent hundreds of dollars to keep the house presentable and urged the Commission to vote on this tonight. Jane Rankin, One East Broward Boulevard Ste. #1600, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 (Attorney representing the applicant), stated she handled the transaction in July 2000 and at that time the building was in a condition that was very dangerous. Ms. Rankin stated Mr. Handelsman has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in renovating that building inside and out and taking care of the outside of the other properties on the site. She stated to asphalt more of that lot would be discouraging when looking at the historic value of the property and the aesthetic picture that it presents as you enter into the city. She stated the reason for the parking waiver is because they believe they have a solid basis for all the land use and zoning compliance issues. Ms. Rankin stated they too do not understand why this has gone on as long as it has when the matter was disposed of in 2003. The City Attorney stated the applicant has certain rights and asked if they would like the Commission to vote on it. Brief discussion by the Commission followed. Mayor McDuffie asked staff to be very thorough in what they do and bring back to the Commission a complete picture of what happened, why things were approved and if the applicant did not meet the requirements at the time why permits were issued. Mr. Frankel moved to table Item 9.B., seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 16 10/04/11 Mr. Frankel moved to table Item 9.B.1., seconded by Dr. Alperin.

At this point, the time being 7:51 p.m. the Commission moved to the duly advertised Public Hearings portion of the Agenda. 10. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 10.A. ORDINANCE NO. 36-11 (FIRST READING/FIRST PUBLIC HEARING): Consider a privately initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.4.9. (B), “Principal Uses and Structures Permitted”, and Section 4.4.13 (B), “Principal Uses and Structures Permitted”, to clarify that bicycles with an electric helper motor are the only motorized equipment permitted in the “rental of sporting goods and equipment” use category. If passed, a second public hearing will be held on October 18, 2011. The caption of Ordinance No. 36-11 is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BY AMENDING SECTION 4.4.9 “GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC) DISTRICT”, SUBSECTION 4.4.9(B), “PRINCIPAL USES AND STRUCTURES PERMITTED”; AND SECTION 4.4.13, "CENTRAL BUSINESS (CBD) DISTRICT", SUBSECTION 4.4.13(B), "PRINCIPAL USES AND STRUCTURES PERMITTED"; TO CLARIFY THAT BICYCLES WITH AN ELECTRICHELPER MOTOR ARE THE ONLY MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT PERMITTED IN THE “RENTAL OF SPORTING GOODS AND EQUIPMENT” USE CATEGORY WITHIN THE GC AND CBD ZONING DISTRICTS; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (The official copy of Ordinance No. 36-11 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. 17 10/04/11 Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this is a privately-initiated text amendment to LDR Section 4.4.9(B)(4)(a) General Commercial – Principal Uses and Section 4.4.13(B)(3)(a) Central Business District – Principal Uses. Mr. Dorling stated this will clarify that bicycles with an electric-helper motor are the only motorized equipment permitted in the rental of sporting goods equipment use category. This is in association with the establishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue and this business wants to rent bicycles that have electric-helper motors to the general public at this site. The current rental of sporting goods and equipment category is limited to non-motorized goods and equipment. Mr. Dorling stated this will provide clarification that in the CBD and GC zoning districts this will be expanded with respect to motorized bicycles only. The applicant has also submitted a conditional use application for Segway tours as well as a city code amendment to the Code of Ordinances definition to bicycles to include the electric-helper motor which is consistent with Florida Statute definition for bicycles. At its meeting of September 8, 2011, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) recommended approval; at its meeting of September 12, 2011, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) recommended approval; and at its meeting of September 13, 2011, the West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC) recommended approval. Staff recommends approval. David Schmidt, Attorney representing applicant, stated they do not disagree with anything staff has represented and is present for any questions the Commission may have. Mr. Carney asked if this relates to mopeds. Mr. Schmidt stated this ordinance does not relate to mopeds and disagrees with Mr. Dorling’s reading of the current ordinance and stated he does not believe it prohibits rental of motorized vehicles. The current definition of bicycle includes mopeds so by updating to the later item to adopt the current statutory definition of bicycles. One Statute also has separate definition for mopeds. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 36-11, the public hearing was closed. Albert Richwagen, 48 year Delray native and bike shop owner, stated this business that has initiated this change of use has been doing illegal business for over a year. Mr. Richwagen stated they have not complied with any City laws, they have illegal signage and are doing Segway tours without a license. Mr. Richwagen stated if they want to operate a business as such they should go under the current guidelines which are be in the automotive area or be where the motorcycle shops are in the allowed use or as he did buy a pre-existing automotive use so that they can do what they want to do. 18 10/04/11 Dr. Alperin stated he does not consider a Segway a bicycle but it has two wheels and is an electric driven machine. Mr. Dorling stated this amendment does not apply to Segways. Dr. Alperin stated an electric car is a totally different thing than a gas car as far as maintenance, etc. and what kind of shop requirements there are to maintain this needs to be looked at as well when considering this. Mayor McDuffie concurs with comments expressed by Dr. Alperin. For the record, Mr. Frankel stated he understands all the different groups that looked at it did approve it. Mr. Frankel stated Al Jacquet of the Planning and Zoning Board had stated he does not know if this is consistent with the vision of the city. Mr. Frankel stated this is something he struggled with when the Commission discussed the Segways and whether or not we want to turn this into another Key West. Mr. Frankel concurs with the Mayor’s recommendation to pass this ordinance tonight to get it to second reading but he would also like the additional information that was brought up. Mr. Carney stated some good issues were raised about how the Segways will be maintained. Dr. Alperin moved to adopt Ordinance No. 36-11 on First Reading/First Public Hearing, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.B. ORDINANCE NO. 32-11: An ordinance amending Chapter 51, "Garbage and Trash", of the City Code of Ordinances by amending Section 51.70, “Regular Charges Levied”, to provide for increased residential and commercial collection service rates for FY 2012. The caption of Ordinance No. 32-11 is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 51, "GARBAGE AND TRASH", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, BY AMENDING SECTION 51.70, "REGULAR CHARGES LEVIED", TO PROVIDE FOR INCREASED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL COLLECTION SERVICE RATES FOR FY 2012; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (The official copy of Ordinance No. 32-11 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) 19 10/04/11 The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. Lisa Hartman, Utility Billing Manager, stated this for a rate increase in the ordinance. Mrs. Hartman stated the rate increase is a result of the requirements in the City’s Waste Management Contract and stated the City has to adjust rates for the CPI and the diesel fuel price adjustment. Dr. Alperin asked if these rates are non-negotiable according to the contract. Mrs. Hartman stated this is non-negotiable. The City Manager stated the commercial rates are affected by the Solid Waste Authority increase in tipping fees in addition to the Waste Management collection charges. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission, the public hearing was closed. Dr. Alperin moved to adopt Ordinance No. 32-11 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.C. ORDINANCE NO. 34-11: Approve an increase of the parking meter fees from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour in all metered parking spaces, an increase to the cost of the annual beach parking permit from $80.00 to $90.00 per year, and creation of a new permit classification of Senior Beach Parking Permit at a cost of $95.00 per year. The caption of Ordinance No. 34-11 is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 71, “PARKING REGULATIONS” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY AMENDING SECTION 71.058, "COST OF PARKING OR STANDING VEHICLES IN CERTAIN METERED SPACES", TO PROVIDE FOR A PER HOUR METER FEE TO BE CHARGED AND LISTING THE PARKING LOTS AFFECTED; AND BY AMENDING SECTION 71.060, “PARKING METER PERMITS”, TO ESTABLISH A SENIOR BEACH PERMIT PROGRAM AND COSTS; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 20 10/04/11 (The official copy of Ordinance No. 34-11 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated the City has proposed a slight increase to the annual beach permit from $80.00 per year to $90.00 per year. Mr. Aronson stated the City has also proposed a new classification for senior citizens for an additional $5.00 they will be able to use the spaces on A-1-A south of Miramar and north of Atlantic Avenue in the parallel parking spaces and excludes the angled parking spaces which are immediately adjacent to the business district on A-1-A. Mr. Aronson stated the City also proposed a .25 per hour increase on the meter fees from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. Andy Katz, speaking on behalf of the Beach Property Owners Association, stated Delray Beach is a very popular destination and compared to other cities Delray Beach offers more amenities such as showers, bathrooms, food, lounges, fountains, etc., have the convenience of parallel parking on A-1-A, patrolled beaches, have the unique proximity to downtown, and are relatively cheap compared to other cities. Mr. Katz stated he does not feel it is unreasonable for the meter fees to increase from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour and from the beach area perspective they would like to see some of the additional money collected be used to fund the Beach Area Master Plan. He stated with regard to enforcement very early in the morning they do not have the beach crowds. Mr. Katz suggested that there be enforcement along Atlantic Avenue at 9:30/10:00 a.m. but not along A-1-A. He stated when the beach crowd arrives especially on the weekends and during season there are illegal parking issues on Venetian, Casuarina and Gleason and stated they would like to see some of the enforcement they can save before 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. be used to take care of the illegal parking issues in other areas of the beach. Christina Morrison, 2809 Florida Boulevard #207, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated she too believes that $1.50 is very reasonable when comparing to competing towns. She suggested increasing the time limit from 2 hours to 3 or 4 hours. Ms. Morrison suggested that the meters to be able to take parking cards and credit cards and make them easily available for people to buy. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 34-11, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Frankel inquired if the senior permit is going to be for a one year period not the six months as initially discussed. Mr. Aronson stated it was suggested it be an off season and it was determined that it would not be an overburden so the senior 21 10/04/11 permit is going to be year-round. Mrs. Gray asked how someone would be able to identify the senior permits. Mr. Aronson stated staff has taken the last 100 because the permits are numbered and these will be dedicated to the Senior Program and staff will be placing a small distinguishing mark on those permits to identify it as a senior permit. Mr. Aronson clarified that the parallel parking on A-1-A is 4 hours and Atlantic Avenue is 2 hours in the business district and stated the Smartcard can be purchased in the Utility Billing Department for $5.00 and can be recharged at any of the multi-space parking meters on the beach. Mr. Frankel moved to adopt Ordinance No. 34-11 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.D. ORDINANCE NO. 35-11: Approve an ordinance amending Chapter 92, "Boats and Boating", by amending Section 92.15, "Docking License for Excursion Boat Operations", Subsection (E), "Short-Term Agreement", to modify the permit fee; and by amending subsection (G), "Use of Docks at Veterans Park", to increase the mooring time for excursion boats at Veterans Park. The caption of Ordinance No. 35-11 is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 92, "BOATS AND BOATING", BY AMENDING SECTION 92.15, "DOCKING LICENSE FOR EXCURSION BOAT OPERATIONS", SUBSECTION (E) “SHORT-TERM AGREEMENT”, TO MODIFY THE PERMIT FEE; AND BY AMENDING SUBSECTION (G) “USE OF DOCKS AT VETERANS PARK”, TO INCREASE THE MOORING TIME; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; A SAVING CLAUSE AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (The official copy of Ordinance No. 35-11 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. Linda Karch, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated this ordinance is to modify the permit fee and to increase the mooring time for excursion boats at Veterans 22 10/04/11 Park. Staff recommends increasing the fee from $250.00 to $300.00 and the operating hours from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. In addition, Mrs. Karch stated staff recommends allowing the boats to dock for no longer than 60 consecutive minutes (increased from 30 minutes).

The caption of Resolution No. 48-11 is as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, HEREBY INCORPORATING AND ACCEPTING THE CONTRACT STATING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE FROM THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, SELLER, TO THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA. (The official copy of Resolution No. 48-11 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. The City Attorney stated Resolution No. 48-11 adopts the Contract for Sale and Purchase between the City of Delray Beach and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for the vacant property at 133 S.W. 12th Avenue. This property will be used to better utilize the Neighborhood Resource Center. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission, the public hearing was closed. 23 10/04/11 Mr. Frankel moved to approve Resolution No. 48-11, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.E.1. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA): Consider approval of an Interlocal Agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to transfer property to the City and pay some design and construction costs of a new structure to be located at 133 S.W. 12th Avenue to expand the Neighborhood Resource Center; contingent upon approval of Resolution 48-11 and the Contract for Sale and Purchase. The City Attorney stated this is a request for approval of an Interlocal Agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for property located at 133 S.W. 12th Avenue where the CRA will contribute a maximum amount of $67,815.00 to the City to assist in the cost of the design and construction of a structure to accommodate expansion of the Neighborhood Resource Center. Dr. Alperin moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. At this point, the time being 8:18 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 11.A., City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. 11.A. City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. The City Manager stated Dr. Kirson had complained about the fact that Workshop Meetings were not being broadcast or available on archives and in response to Mr. Carney’s suggestion, the City Manager stated the Workshop Meetings will be recorded and placed in the archives so they are accessible over the internet beginning with the October 11, 2011 Workshop Meeting. At this point, the Commission moved to Item 11.B., Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the Public. 11.B. From the Public. None. At this point, the time being 9:19 p.m., the Commission moved back to Item 9.C. of the Regular Agenda. 24 10/04/11 9.C. CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM, INC.: Consider approval of a conditional use request to allow conversion of an existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to a church for Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem, Inc., with an associated off-site parking lot located on the west side of N.W. 6th Avenue, approximately 165 feet south of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Attorney Michael Weiner about this issue earlier today. Mrs. Gray stated he spoke to staff about this issue a couple of months ago and two of the Pastors. Mayor McDuffie stated he spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner who acknowledged to him that it was on the agenda and he would be speaking on it. Mr. Carney stated he too spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner and spoke to Mr. Dorling last week briefly as an agenda item but did not get into any details. Dr. Alperin stated he spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner this morning. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2011-129 into the record. Mr. Dorling stated one item relates to a conditional use approval to establish a church and then a second one relates to a waiver to distance for an off-site parking lot. The church building which was an existing duplex is proposed and an offsite parking lot is proposed in the vicinity where these are currently vacant. He stated there is a maximum requirement of 300 square foot between an off-site parking lot and the use. Mr. Dorling stated this is a conditional use to convert a 3,335 square foot duplex structure to a church at 614 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The church has a congregation of about 50-80 members and it currently rents a church building for weekly services at 414 S.W. 3rd Street. The church would have three main services on Friday evening between 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Creole classes will be offered for those parishioners who cannot read the Creole Bible. This training service will be offered two days a week for two hours a day and the church functions common with places of religious assembly such as church bazaars, fundraisers, and various activities around the holidays. Mr. Dorling stated this facility is in the R-1-A zoning district and is allowed as a conditional use because each site is unique and in some cases it is appropriate and in some cases it is not. He stated this site has some challenges as it relates to compatibility and those concerns have been identified in the staff report and for that and other reasons it is not a use that should be allowed to go into this building. He stated LDR Section 3.1.1(D) requires compliance with LDRs and the parking lot does not meet the maximum spacing and it also does not meet consistency requirements of 3.1.1(C) with Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff feels this is incompatible with the adjacent properties because there will be noise issues as it relates to this. Mr. Dorling stated there is also a 25 10/04/11 discussion in the staff report as it relates to fulfilling remaining land use needs. There is twelve (12) churches within a one mile radius with many of them the same congregation. Staff feels although this is minor it still does not meet that Future Land Use objective. He stated required findings under LDR Section 2.4.5(E) also go to compatibility. Mr. Dorling stated it requires that you establish a conditional use and it will not have a significantly detrimental effect upon the stability of the neighborhood within it is located nor will it hinder development or redevelopment of the nearby properties. At its meeting of July 18, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the conditional use request and recommended denial of the conditional use and the waiver. At its meeting of July 14, 2011, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the Planning and Zoning Board had concerns with the potential negative impacts on abutting residential properties as well as traffic impact with respect to stacking and parking along the adjacent rights-of-way. Staff recommends denial. Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (representing the applicant), stated about 4:45 p.m. the neighboring property owner in the church reached an agreement on an easement and it eliminates the requirement for the waiver and allows the people to walk internally very few feet from the church to the parking lot. Mr. Weiner briefly spoke on the conditional use because the waiver is no longer necessary and thus will be withdrawn. Mr. Weiner stated the church already owns the structure and they were advised about the City’s zoning code that states you can have a church use in a residential area. He stated Chapter 3 has four sub-elements: (1) Future Land Use Map designation, (2) a concurrency, (3) a consistency, and (4) a compliance with the LDRs. Mr. Weiner stated that includes compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and there is a second requirement that has two sub-categories LDR Section 2.4.5 and first is that the use will not be significantly detrimental and the second is it will not hinder development or redevelopment. He stated staff tries to add more about the noise and other Code Enforcement issues in the area. Mr. Weiner stated they are an R-1-A zoning and LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 dwelling units per acre) land use designation and are allowed to be a conditional use. Mr. Weiner stated the Comprehensive Plan and LDRs indicate that there is no restriction for limiting policy on churches, other houses of worship, or the free exercise of religion. He stated the staff report states that there are already 12 churches within a one mile radius of the site. Mr. Weiner stated one more church is not a significant change to this neighborhood. He stated the staff report makes reference to noise and traffic but there is no reason to believe that noise and traffic actually occurs. Mr. Weiner briefly spoke about the setback requirements and reviewed the site plans. He stated effective September 22, 2000, they signed into Federal Law the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and there is also the Florida Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the general rule is “that no government shall impose or implement the land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise on a person including a religious assembly unless the government can demonstrate that the imposition of the burden on that person is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest.” Mr. Weiner stated before he represented the applicant they purchased this land and they made significant strides to try to improve the 26 10/04/11 position of the church and what it is they want to do in the neighborhood and area. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone else from public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the conditional use request, to please come forward at this time. Reginald Cox, 715 N.W. 2nd Street (a/k/a Drive) Delray Beach, representing Paradise Heights Neighborhood Association, stated three terms that were heard earlier this evening were (1) common sense, (2) powerful impact, and (3) use of the Advisory Boards that the Commission depends on and put into place. Mr. Cox read a brief statement into the record from the Paradise Heights Neighborhood Homeowners’ Association. He stated the Paradise Heights HOA would like to see the property remain the residential designation. Pastor Harry, one of the Pastors of the church, briefly discussed the architects of the church. Barbara Shuler, resident of Delray Beach, supports the conditional use request and stated she has spoken to several people who live in the Paradise Heights neighborhood and asked how many people were present at the meeting, who held the meeting, and how did they inform the neighbors. Mrs. Shuler stated she is close to the neighbors who live to the west and when they heard about the church they asked her to look into the situation. Mrs. Shuler stated she met with several members of the church and they agreed to allow the church to exist next to their home. She stated the church needed an easement at the back of the church property which would allow the people to park in that lot behind the church and walk right into the church. Mrs. Shuler urged the Commission to approve the conditional use request and stated many of people who attend the church live in that neighborhood. Greg Deneus, 126 N.W. 6th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (resides next to the parking lot in Paradise Heights), stated he is not aware of what Mr. Cox is speaking about. Mr. Deneus stated this building used to be an assisted living for mental health and they demolished it. He stated he would rather live among 50 churches than live next to a bar or a sober house. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the conditional use request, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Dorling stated the setback issue is critical as it relates to this use as being compatible. He stated this unit was built within ten feet in an R-1-A zoning district which does allow it as a conditional use but there are structures within this zoning district which are more compatible for this type of use. Mr. Dorling stated required findings need to be made under Section 2.4.5(E) and they are not met and noted that this will have a detrimental effect upon the stability of the neighborhood because of noise issues with late night worshiping this close to adjacent residential structures. Mr. Dorling stated with regard to the Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan particularly Future Land Use Element that states properties shall be developed or redeveloped complimentary to 27 10/04/11 adjacent land uses. He stated this structure for a commercial use is not going to be complimentary to adjacent residential uses. Mr. Dorling stated the findings are made in the staff report and recommends denial of the request. Mr. Weiner stated there is nothing in the ordinances of what percentage of a block should be devoted to churches. He stated drainage will be better because they are increasing the open space. Mr. Weiner stated Section 2.4.7(B) has to do with waivers and they no longer need the waiver. He stated they are going to have on-site parking as a result of the easement. Mr. Weiner stated in 2005 the City Commission approved a church three times this size. He stated an extra ten feet in setback is not going to make a difference with respect to sound. Mr. Weiner stated there may be some site plan things they can do that will minimize the possible impact that has been suggested by the Planning and Zoning Department. Dr. Alperin stated the issue is whether this meets the requirements of Section 2.4.5 and noted that when he served on the Commission previously he felt the City was setting a precedent and that we were going to end up with churches every 500 feet. He stated there are now multiple churches on the same lots and feels this does has an impact on the neighborhood and he cannot support it for that reason. Mr. Carney made reference to Mr. Weiner’s comments and reiterated that this is a conditional use and we do have some mechanisms at our disposal to mitigate certain issues that have been raised such as noise; the parking issue can be addressed and he is confident that the church members are going to be parking on the off-site parking lot and noted it is a Code Enforcement issue if they do not park there. Mr. Carney stated he will support this providing that conditions can be put in place that would mitigate some of the concerns. He suggested that the hours be addressed regarding the start time. Mr. Carney stated he supports this provided some of these other conditions can be addressed in the final approval. Mrs. Gray stated she lives and attends one of the churches in this community. However, she expressed concern about the neighbors and spoke to some people who are not in support of it because they live right next door within that block. Mrs. Gray stated with regard to the parking lot on the back side there is no guarantee that people are going to just stay on that property. She stated she has a business and a parking lot and people walk through her parking lot to get to the CRA parking lot. Mrs. Gray stated this is a very tight spot and does not think a church needs to be in-between two residences. She stated they are going to have rehearsals and it will be used more than the three services and expressed concern with the church being in this spot. Brief discussion between Mrs. Gray and Mr. Weiner continued regarding the easement. Mr. Frankel stated he agrees with the CRA, Planning and Zoning, and staff to deny the conditional use request. 28 10/04/11 Mayor McDuffie stated when he was in his 20’s he signed a loan to build a church in a residential neighborhood and one of the things that was part of the building of the structure was the sound proofing of the structure. He stated it is possible to mitigate the sound. Mayor McDuffie stated the times are not bothersome to him because most everything is done by the time anyone would be going to bed. Mayor McDuffie stated he has no issues with the parking and the easement eliminates one of the problems with it. He stated if people are not allowed to park in the swales then then the City needs to take action and solve the problem. Mayor McDuffie supports the church in this location. Mr. Carney asked if someone bought this now could they put 10 residential units there. Mr. Dorling stated they could not because it is R-1-A and allows a duplex and single family only. Mr. Carney moved to table this to the next meeting. Motion to table failed due to a lack of a second. Mr. Carney moved to table to give the applicant and staff an opportunity to work out some of the concerns if possible that was raised tonight, Mayor McDuffie passed the gavel to the Vice Mayor and seconded that motion. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – No; Mrs. Gray – No; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – No. Said motion was DENIED with a 3 to 2 vote, Commissioner Carney and Mayor McDuffie dissenting. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the Commission who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes). Dr. Alperin moved to adopt the Board Order (denying the conditional use), seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – No; Mr. Carney – No; Dr. Alperin – Yes.

WAIVER REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM, INC.: Consider a waiver request to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.6.9.E.5 (a) (1), “Off Site Parking”, to increase the maximum acceptable pedestrian path distance to three hundred twenty-two feet (322’) for an off-site parking lot for Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church located at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) This item has been withdrawn by the applicant. 29 10/04/11 9.D. GARAGE PARKING SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT/GLOBAL PARKING SOLUTIONS: Consider approval of a parking license agreement with Global Parking Solutions for the utilization of 40 parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage seven (7) days per week between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. at a rate of $40.00 per space, per month. Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated Global Parking Solutions is a parking company that provides valet services. The valet queue for Prime Steakhouse located at 110 East Atlantic Avenue is one of the exceptions to the Valet Parking License Agreement in that the City leases parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage and the reason for that is the 110 East Atlantic Avenue building owned a 50 car parking lot that was on the property that Worthing Place now sits. He stated those 50 spaces were eliminated from the valets use who used them all those years for that valet queue. At its meeting of September 12, 2011, the City Commission entered into a Parking License Agreement with Boca Parking Systems, Inc. (BPS) for use of 40 parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage and this was approved. The South Florida Parking Systems who formerly ran the valet is no longer operating that valet for Prime Steakhouse and Global is looking for approval to assume that lease for the 40 spaces. Mr. Aronson stated it is $40.00 per month per space for a total of $1,600.00 per month. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Carney stated he would like to see a little a better price being charged for the valet queues and feels the City can get more than $40.00 per month. Mr. Frankel concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Carney. Mrs. Gray concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Carney as well. Dr. Alperin asked how many parking spaces are there in the Federspiel Garage. Mr. Aronson stated there are a total of 202; 55 full time, 40 part-time spaces and the rest of the spaces are public spaces and remain available. Dr. Alperin inquired about the rates. Mr. Aronson stated the modifications to the Valet Parking License Agreement cap the fee at $10.00 per car and we allow an overtime fee if customers stay more than 4 hours they can charge an extra $5.00 and for that they have to have a time clock and time punch the tickets in and out. In his opinion, Mayor McDuffie stated it is problematic to change this tonight but he feels the next time staff reviews fees this fee needs to be raised. Dr. Alperin asked how long this contract is for. The City Manager stated it expires March 31, 2012 but they automatically renew. Mr. Frankel suggested that the City Commission either at a Workshop or another meeting review the valet operators and determine if the price is appropriate. Mr. Carney stated he does not like automatic renew language and feels that each contract has to be individually reviewed. 30 10/04/11 Dr. Alperin moved to approve the Parking License Agreement contingent that it expires on March 31, 2012, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.E. APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: Appoint one (1) alternate member to the Board of Adjustment to serve an unexpired term ending August 31, 2013. Based upon the rotation system, the recommendation/appointment will be made by Commissioner Alperin (Seat #2).

Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.F.

Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. Mayor McDuffie stated he wished to appoint Christel Silver as a regular member to the Delray Beach Housing Authority to serve a four (4) year term ending October 27, 2015. Mr. Frankel so moved, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.G. RATIFICATION OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT/PBA POLICE LIEUTENANTS: Consider ratification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA)/Police Lieutenants. (ADDENDUM) Bruce Koeser, Human Resources Director, stated the City has come to an agreement with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and has labor agreements for lieutenants. Mr. Koeser stated this reduces the work week from 42 hours to 40 hours a week; a cut of the VEBA which is the retiree health trust from 3.3% to whatever the active current retiree is and noted the City is just paying just active current retirees. He stated instead of the City paying the three (3%) in pension contributions that will now go 31 10/04/11 to those employees; two unpaid holidays; future pension benefits for those hired after October 1, 2012 will be negotiated as possibly a second tier of pension benefits. Mr. Koeser stated this mirrors the agreement with Fire (IAFF) that they did last year and noted that this is a three year agreement and includes merits for this fiscal year, a pay freeze next fiscal year and a re-opener for the third year (effective October 1, 2011-September 30, 2014). Mr. Carney moved to approve the Ratification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA)/Police Lieutenants, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.H. RATIFICATION OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT/PBA POLICE OFFICERS AND SERGEANTS: Consider ratification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA)/Police Officers and Sergeants. (ADDENDUM) Bruce Koeser, Human Resources Director, stated this item is to consider ratification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) for Police Officers and Sergeants and mirrors the Fire (IAFF) contract. Mr. Koeser stated with Police Officers and Sergeants the City is a year behind in their Collective Bargaining Agreement and will actually be effective October 1, 2010-September 30, 2013. Mr. Koeser stated the first year was a freeze, the second year will be step movement, and the third year will be a reopener. He stated this reduces the work week from 42 hours to 40 hours; two unpaid holidays. Mr. Koeser stated this will be a cost savings of approximately $1 million this year. The City Manager stated another important aspect that only affects Police Officers and Sergeants is that we are allowed to negotiate our new pension benefits for officers hired after October 1, 2012. Mr. Frankel moved to approve the Ratification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA)/Police Officers and Sergeants, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. At this point, Mayor McDuffie thanked City staff, the union representatives from the Police Department and all the men and women in the Police Department because he understands it has been tough on both sides. At this point, the time being 9:54 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 12, First Readings. 32 10/04/11 12. FIRST READINGS: 12.A. ORDINANCE NO. 39-11: Consider an amendment to the Code of Ordinance Section 72.02, “Definitions,” to conform to the State Statute definition of a bicycle and to place further limitations on motorized bicycles.

COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. 13.A. City Manager The City Manager stated Mr. Carney mentioned that someone raised the issue that they had written to Utility Billing Department to receive their bill by email and they were receiving them by email but also received a duplicate in the mail. The City Manager stated the City’s present software does not allow the City to issue statements by email. He stated if someone arranges for it we will manually scan it and email it to them but the system is still generating the print out. The City Manager stated this is one of the things that will change when the City receives its new software. 33 10/04/11 Secondly, the City Manager stated with regard to the Palm Beach County League of Cities Valentin Rodriguez, Commissioner from Lake Clarke Shores, was reappointed to the Criminal Justice Commission to represent the League and Joann Brinkman from Lake Park was reappointed to the Land Development Regulation Advisory Board. Lastly, the City Manager stated there was a case in Broward County imposing term limits on County Commissioners and that was upheld at the trial court, overturned at the appeals court, and was currently on appeal to the Supreme Court so it is not resolved. There will be a meeting on November 2, 2011 between the County Commission, the League of Cities, and the School Board to discuss issues of mutual interest. The Florida League of Cities Legislative Action Day this year will be on January 25, 2012. 13.B. City Attorney The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items. 13.C. City Commission 13.C.1. Dr. Alperin Dr. Alperin stated he attended the Education Board Meeting and was impressed with their enthusiasm. Secondly, Dr. Alperin stated he will be on vacation the first week of November. 13.C.2. Mr. Carney Mr. Carney stated he supported the ordinance with the raising of the parking rates and did not support it the first time around because he wanted to make a point about enforcement. Mr. Carney stated at the last meeting Mr. Katz and Ms. Morrison Pearce spoke for this point regarding the enforcement issue. Mr. Carney stated typically at 9:30 am during the week these are Delray residents that are going to places and he does not feel they should have to pay for parking. Mr. Carney suggested that this be extended to A-1-A. Secondly, Mr. Carney stated he raised the issue with the City Manager related to a sign which has appeared on A-1-A at the end of Atlantic Avenue regarding Boston’s Hotel and reportedly it is part of the program with the Department of Transportation where these signs are supposed to be at interstates. Mr. Carney stated this is three miles east of that interchange and all it is doing now is promoting one business over others. Mr. Carney stated he has asked the City to find out why that sign was placed there and for its speedy removal because it is not in concert with the Beach Area Master 34 10/04/11 Plan which is trying to eliminate signage except for signs for Public Information or disaster. 13.C.3. Mrs. Gray Mrs. Gray announced that Saturday, October 15, 2011, Delray Beach is having its first Net Ball Tournament and invited everyone to attend. 13.C.4. Mr. Frankel Mr. Frankel stated the Election date for the republican candidates has been moved up and suggested that the Commission discuss whether it would be appropriate to move up the City’s Municipal Election as a cost savings if the City wanted to hold it at the same time. The City Clerk stated because the City’s Charter specifically says it is the second Tuesday in March of every year the only way the City would be able to move it is if they agree to move it to January 31st. However, the City Clerk stated the viable reason to move it would be whether or not the Supervisor or Elections would be able to have the equipment and everything in place by that time. The City Manager stated City’s Charter would have to be amended in order to move the Election unless there is a special circumstance. Secondly, Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Maria Herrera last week and she brought up the subject about the ordinances that the City Attorney’s office and many people worked so hard on with regard to the sober houses and the unrelated people. Mr. Frankel stated Ms. Herrera stated that City officials have not levied any fines or found any violations since July 2009. The City Manager stated he has asked Code Enforcement to research this because there was a lot of activity initially when the ordinances were passed and some of the problem places went away. The City Manager stated there has also been activity in the Planning and Zoning Department with people coming in wanting to start a sober house but have been told they cannot do it here but have to go elsewhere. The City Manager stated it is definitely having an impact but he will find out more about the complaints the City has received and what has been done with it. Lastly, Mr. Frankel stated last week was the Jewish New Year. 13.C.5. Mayor McDuffie Mayor McDuffie stated he sat in the rain in Ohio and did not see the sun for five days. There being no further business, Mayor McDuffie declared the meeting adjourned at 10:09 p.m. 35 10/04/11 ________________________________________________ City Clerk ATTEST: ____________________________________ M A Y O R The undersigned is the City Clerk of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, and the information provided herein is the Minutes of the Regular City Commission Meeting held on October 4, 2011, which Minutes were formally approved and adopted by the City Commission on ________________________. ________________________________________________________ City Clerk NOTE TO READER: If the Minutes you have received are not completed as indicated above, this means they are not the official Minutes of the City Commission.

Let’s see why… NETBALL – A global, vibrant, game for all NETBALL -A Brief History… James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 and inadvertently aided in the invention of netball. Naismith sent a copy of his basketball rules to a sports teacher in New Orleans, Clara Baer. Baer interpreted Naismith's drawings of the court and players as meaning that players could not leave certain areas. Taken across the Atlantic to a women’s physical education college, Netball was first played in England in 1895. This form of basketball was taken from Britain to the countries then forming part of its empire where the game transformed into a fast passing, no dribbling game, restricted playing area ultimate team game called… Netball! Who’s Playing NETBALL? Worldwide, over 20 million registered players participate in netball—women, children and men. There are twice that number of recreational players. Many schools throughout the world have Netball as a central core sport in their physical education curriculum. For many women and girls around the world it is empowering, a chance to be active and the opportunity to play a team sport. In the USA, Netball is gaining momentum--the USA has been ranked as high as 9th in the World and narrowly missed out on qualifying for this year’s World Championships by 0.6 of a goal. NETBALL Basics of Play  The game is based on passing , throwing, intercepting and scoring of goals.  There are seven players in a team and they each have their own area of play. This means team-work and strong passing skills are very important.  Two players are allowed to try and score goals— a goal is worth one point. There is a ring through which the ball must pass.  There is no dribbling and no running with the ball.  The ball, which is the size of a soccer ball, must be caught and thrown within 3 seconds.  Contact that interferes with play is not permitted.  Defenders must defend 3 feet away from the player with the ball. NETBALL Court A Netball Court is always the same size and shape measuring 100 feet x 50 feet. Any firm surface can be used. The court is divided into 3 major parts known as “thirds”. There are two goal thirds and these contain the goal circle from where goals are scored. The object of the game is to score more goals than your opponents. The other third is known as the center third which contains the center circle. The game is always started or restarted after a goal from the center circle. Netball Positions  GS Goal Shooter One of only two players who can score/shoot goals and may play in only the attacking third of the court.  GA Goal Attack The Goal Attack scores and shoots goals and also runs two thirds of the court.  WA Wing Attack To feed the circle players giving them shooting opportunities.  C The Center connects the defense end with the attack end and runs all three thirds of the court but may not go in either circle.  WD Wing Defense The opponent is the Wing Attack and the WD is a mobile defender who plays in two thirds of the court, but not the circle.  GD Goal Defense The opponent is the GA and the GD has the responsibility for defending the shooting circle and rebounding missed shots as well as clearing the ball out of defense.  GK Goal Keeper Tries to prevent the Goal Shooter from receiving the ball and shooting.

Netball is one of the most popular women’s sport in the world, with over 20 million players from school to adult leagues. Although popular with w o m e n netball has seen an increase in male players within the past ten years. Netball is a fast, skillful team game based on running, jumping, throwing & catching. It is played by two teams, and each team consists of seven players -two shooters, two defense & three center court players. Each player has a playing position determined by the areas on the court where they may move. The playing positions are shown by identification letters worn above the waist, on both front and back of the player. Those positions are GS, GA, WA, C, WD, GD & GK. The main aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within an area called the Goal Circle, which is a semicircle centered on the goal line & measuring 16 feet in radius. Only GS & GA from each team may score goals. Goals are scored through a hoop resembling a basketball hoop but without the backboard. Each goal scores one point. The netball moves up & down the court by catching & throwing it to other team members. Dribbling & moving with the ball is not allowed. What is Netball? Netball -Basic Rules Players cannot dribble but they may bounce the ball once to gain possession. No running with the ball, players may not re ground the foot which first touches the court (landing foot). Players must pass the ball to someone else within three seconds of catching it. No contact. Players may not take the ball out of another player’s hands, push, push off, or shove other players. No defending within 3 feet of the player with the ball. This is measured from the landing foot. Players can only shoot within the shooting circle, a 16-foot radius semicircle at each end of the court, and these players are GS or GA. Each goal scores one point. The ball must be touched in each third as it travels down the court. Netball Playing Positions Each position has a main role to play: GS (Goal Shooter) -to score goals & work in & around the goal circle with the GA GA (Goal Attack) -to feed & work with GS & to score goals WA (Wing Attack) -to feed the goal circle players giving them shoot ing opportunities C (Center) -to take the center pass & to control game flow between attack & defense WD (Wing Defense) -to look for interceptions & to prevent the WA from feeding the goal circle players GD (Goal Defense) -to win the ball & reduce the effectiveness of the GA GK (Goal Keeper) -to work with the GD to prevent the GS from scoring goals The Netball Court Each playing position has a specific court area.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Ronald Hoggard, AICP, Principal Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: October 11, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.C. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT APPROVAL/LITTLE WOOD ESTATES ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is the certification of the final plat for an 1.08 acre residential development containing three (3) single-family lots being platted as Little Wood Estates. The subject property is located at the south end of NW 1st Avenue, between Woods Lane and Trinity Lutheran Church. BACKGROUND The 1.08 acre property is a replat of a portion of Lot 12, in Section 8, Township 46 South, Range 43 East, of the Map showing subdivisions of portions of Townships 45 and 46 South, Range 43 East, Plat Book 1, Page 4, of the public records of Palm Beach County, Florida. The property is undeveloped. The replat of the property will allow for development of three (3) single-family homes. The property will be divided into 3 lots, Tract “A”, which is being dedicated as a private street (Little Wood Lane), and Tract “B”, which is a 50 feet wide right-of-way being dedicated for extension of NW 1st Avenue. Water and sewer service will be provided within both roadways. Drainage and utilities (electric, phone, cable, and gas) will be provided within easements. A five foot landscape buffer surrounds the perimeter of the property. The City Commission approved the replat for this project on June 20, 2006, but the plat was never recorded. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.4(E)(5), if the final plat is not recorded within eighteen (18) months, the approval expires. Therefore, this Plat has been resubmitted for approval.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Lula Butler, Director, Community Improvement THROUGH: David Harden, City Manager DATE: October 12, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.F. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 HOUSING REHABILITATION GRANT/CONTRACT AWARD/316 N.W. 6TH AVENUE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilitation grant(s) to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $28,090.46. Funding for the projects is through the CDBG and RCMP Housing Rehabilitation and grant. BACKGROUND Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilitation grant(s) to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for the following projects: n 316 NW 6th Avenue/Raymond Graeve & Sons Cons, Inc./$27,216=Total Rehab cost: $28,090.46 Grant awards are based on the actual cost of the rehabilitation, as determined by the low responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. Total rehab cost also includes lead inspection, lead abatement, lead clearance, termite inspection, termite treatment, and recording fees, if applicable. Additional cost may be incurred for lead clearance test(s). The contingency may be used for change orders and all unused funds will remain with the CDBG and RCMP Housing Rehabilitation program. Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement’s Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services Divisions. Contracts are executed between the building contractor and the property owner. The City remains the agent and this office monitors all work performed by the contractor, ensuring compliance according to specifications and program guidelines. Pay request forms require both contractor and homeowner’s signatures. Grant recipients have met all eligibility requirements as specified in the approved Policies and Procedures. The rehabilitation activities will bring the homes to minimum code requirements by repairing the roof, electric and plumbing systems and correcting other incipient code violations. Detailed work write-ups and individual case files are available for review in the Neighborhood Services Division Office. The Neighborhood Services Division is responsible for ensuring that the housing rehabilitation contracts are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, as a result of a formal bid process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest responsive bidder as it relates to the Division’s professional in-house estimate. This serves to disqualify unreasonably low bids and therefore, protect against the resulting change order requests. Mr. Bowers is a City employee that has applied for assistance through the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Programs. Mr. Bowers has been qualified for eligibility through the same process applicable to all applicants and will receive the same benefits available to all eligible applicants under the City program. A letter was received from HUD dated September approving the Wavier of Employee Conflict of Interest for Mr. Bowers. The Palm Beach County Commission on Ethics issued an opinion on a similar matter dated July 25, 2011 which allowed employee participation in the County NSP program as outlined in the attached letter. The City also placed an advertisement of Notice of Employee Participation in the August 6, 2011, Palm Beach Post.

Hasko, P.E. Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: October 6, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.M.4 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 CONTRACT AWARD/LINE-TEC INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Requesting Commission approval of a contract with Line-Tec, Inc. for relocating water services as part of the Osceola Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan; Project #2010-082. Total cost of this contract is $70,681.00 BACKGROUND In December 2004 City Commission approved the Osceola Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. For purposes of this plan the neighborhood is bordered by SE 5th Avenue (Federal Highway southbound) on the east; Swinton Avenue on the west; SE 2nd Street on the north; and SE 10th Street on the south. The purpose of this Redevelopment Plan was to fulfill the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and provide the framework for the revitalization of the entire neighborhood. The City and representatives from the neighborhood met numerous times to discuss implementation of the redevelopment plan recommendations. It was agreed that assessable elements of the plan would not be implemented at this time, and that the non-assessable underground infrastructure would be constructed. On June 07, 2011, City Commission awarded a construction contract to Intercounty Engineering, Inc. for the installation of 5,340 linear feet of 8 inch Ductile Iron water main, connection of water services located in the front of the property, and installation of fire hydrants as part of the Osceola Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. The scope of this Line-Tec contract consists of relocating 80 existing water services located in the rear of the properties and connecting them to the new water services that were installed as part of the construction contract awarded to Intercounty Engineering, Inc. The estimate by Line-Tec, Inc. is based on the current competitively bid contract with the City of Boynton Beach for “Supply and Installation of Water Service Connections and Restoration”, Bid #033-2821-10/JA. Upon award, Line-Tec, Inc. will execute the "Standard Form of Agreement between the City and Contractor." FUNDING SOURCE Funding will be available from account # 442-5178-536-65.85, upon budget transfer. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval.

Boyd, Finance Director Richard Hasko, Environmental Services Director Patsy Nadal, Purchasing Manager THROUGH: David Harden, City Manager DATE: October 10, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.M.5 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/AIRGAS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The City Commission is requested to approve a blanket purchase in the amount of $107,000 for the purchase and delivery of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) as needed from Airgas at $0.0975 lb./$195.00 ton per proposal dated 08/29/2011. Pricing firm for one (1) year with a two (2) year renewal option. BACKGROUND For 2010/11 fiscal year the City Commission approved the purchase of liquid carbon dioxide from Praxair, Inc. via the City of West Palm Beach bid Agreement at $194.74 per ton as needed. On June 8, 2011 Praxair notified the City that they will only be able to provide 50% of the current required supply and Commission approved Airgas for delivery of CO2. Prior to the award to Airgas, staff had also contacted Air Liquide America who was unable to supplement our supply at that time and their price was higher as well. As of September 2011 the City has not received any update from Praxair and the Water Treatment staff would like to continue with Airgas for purchase of this product. Carbon dioxide is essential to the water treatment process. The water from the wells has a pH in the mid-7 range. Lime is added to raise the pH to 10.2 which is the point where calcium precipitates out for the softening process. After the lime softening process, carbon dioxide is added to bring the pH back to a mid-7 range for the finished water product. If we were to reduce the carbon dioxide dosage, the finished water would have a higher pH. After extensive Lead and Copper testing, we have found that we get the best results with a pH of 7.5 in the distribution system. It is best to continue using the current amount of carbon dioxide for this reason. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 441-5122-536-52.21 (Water and Sewer Fund: Operating Supplies/Chemicals). RECOMMENDATION The Water Treatment Plant recommends a blanket purchase order in the amount of $107,000. to Airgas for purchase and delivery of Liquid Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to be ordered “as needed” per proposal dated 08/29/2011. Pricing firm for one (1) year with a two (2) year renewal option. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: David Boyd, Finance Director Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement Patsy Nadal, Purchasing Director THROUGH: David Harden, City Manager DATE: October 10, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.M.6 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/OTTO WASTE SYSTEMS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The City Commission is requested to approve a blanket purchase order in the amount of $50,000.00 for purchase of hot stamped garbage carts, lids and wheels to be ordered “as needed” from Otto Waste Systems as a sole source provider. The blanket purchase will cover a period of 10.18.2011 through 09.30.2012. BACKGROUND Otto Environmental System was approved by City Commission as a sole source vendor for the purchase of the hot stamped garbage carts that are provided to the citizens of Delray Beach. Otto Industries, Inc. is the original vendor for the purchase of these carts since their initial "roll-out" in 1996. The sizes of garbage carts required by the City are 95 gallon “Classic” @$53.00 each; 65 gallon “Classic” @$46.75 each and 35 gallon “Evolution” @$37.00 including attached lids and wheels per quote dated 10/10/2011. The carts has a forest green body, black lid, rubber tires and hot stamped with the City Logo and serial numbers. Garbage carts are order and shipped in full truckload quantities for cost savings and in various sizes as needed and freight is included in the pricing from Charlotte, NC to Delray Beach, FL. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 433-3711-534-49.35 (Sanitation Fund: Other Current Charges/Cart Renewal & Replacement). RECOMMENDATION The Commun ity Improvement Department recommends a blanket purchase order in the amount of $50,000.00 for the purchase of garbage carts with lids and wheels from Otto Waste Systems as a sole source vendor to be ordered “as needed”. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Victor Majtenyi; Deputy Director of Public Utilities Richard C. Hasko; Director of Environmental Services Department THROUGH: David Harden; City Manager DATE: October 11, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.M.7 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/THE DUMONT COMPANY, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request City Commission approve a blanket purchase order in the amount of $51,200 to The Dumont Company, Inc. The award is for Fiscal Year 2011/2012 for the purchase and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite on an “as needed” basis to remote booster station locations. BACKGROUND Sodium hypochlorite is used as a disinfectant/antimicrobial agent. Currently the City purchases this product from Sentry Industries in bulk tanker loads for other locations. Remote locations in Gulfstream, Owens Baker, and other booster station sites are limited to small quantities between 500 gallons and 1,000 gallons and cannot accommodate a tanker size truck of 12,000 gallons due to truck inaccessibility. Minimum delivery for this product is 1,000 gallon for most vendors, which is considered a small order (or mini-bulk) for delivery. Two vendors can accommodate deliveries in smaller size quantities, from 250 and 1,000 gallons; Poolsure of South Florida at $1.35 per gallon (quote dated October 3, 2011) and Dumont at $1.25 per gallon (quote dated October 5, 2011). The estimated usage for this year is 40,000 gallons with an award requested at $51,200; the amount approved in the division’s operating budget for FY 11/12. FUNDING SOURCE Funding will from account 441-5123-536.52-21, Water Distribution/Operating Supplies-Chemicals. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends a blanket purchase order for the purchase of Sodium Hypochlorite “as needed” from The Dumont Company, Inc. at a unit cost of $1.25 per gallon, for an estimated annual cost of $51,200.00. The Dumont Company, Inc. – 381 S. Central Ave., Oviedo, FL 32765 800-330-1369 FAX: 800-524-9315 1 October 5, 2011 City of Delray Beach 434 S. Swinton Ave. Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Dear Mr. Solomon: Mr. Solomon, In regards to the sodium hypochlorite used at the re-pump and booster stations. Dumont offers Odyssey’s Ultra Chlor product which is known for its high strength and clarity. Dumont offers the 12.5% Ultra Chlor in mini-bulk from 250 to 1000 gallon deliveries. The product is produced from the purest ingredients and has virtually no metal contaminants or suspended solids. In most cases, iron, nickel, copper, and other heavy metal ions that catalyze bleach decomposition are below detectable levels. The Ultra Chlor is manufactured according to American Water Works Association B300-04 Standard for Hypochlorites at 12.5 trade percent available chlorine. There are other hypochlorite concentrations listed in the B-300 standard, but 12.5 percent delivers the best economy and performance for the Florida market. Sodium hypochlorite degrades with age. Certain formula variables and conditions during storage and manufacturing determine the stability of a hypochlorite product. The Odyssey process maximizes shelf life for all of the variables under our control. As illustrated in the Table below, Florida storage temperatures are simply not compatible with the higher B-300 hypochlorite concentrations. The issue is not simply one of lost product and higher usage. Of greater concern are the sodium chlorate and oxygen produced in the decomposition reaction. 12.5% has a thirty-day shelf life under a variety of storage conditions and generates little or no oxygen and/or chlorate. The Ultra Chlor is ANSI /NSF Standard 60 certified and meets all repacking certifications to maintain the certification. The Dumont Company, Inc. – 381 S. Central Ave., Oviedo, FL 32765 800-330-1369 FAX: 800-524-9315 2 Dumont provides services that are second to none in the water and wastewater treatment industry. Dumont provides each system with an account manager, warehouse manager, operations manager and a delivery driver. This team works to ensure that all deliveries are scheduled and made on time. This team will set up a delivery process based on a route, call-in basis or call-you basis (this is where a route scheduler calls you to confirm which locations need product). Dumont also provides a 24 hour 7 day service in case of an emergency situation. We understand that you currently have your own tanks and containments at each location at this time, if ever in the future one of the tanks fail Dumont provides tanks and containments at no charge to its customers. (See attachment for ANSI/NSF Standard 60) We can provide the 12.5 % Sodium Hypochlorite at $1.25 per gallon. Upon acceptance of the sodium hypochlorite offer, Dumont can offer pallets of the 100# HTH used by the lift station crew for $130.00 per 100# pails. Each pallet has 16 100# pails which Dumont would delivery to your warehouse, making the total per pallet $2080.00. Another option is for Dumont to deliver a four (4) minimum per order for $140 per pail (or $560.00 for four) from Dumont’s Hollywood warehouse as needed with a five to seven day delivery schedule. We look forward to working with you in the near future, if you have any questions please contact me. Best Regards Kenny Williams Technical Development Manager The Dumont Co., Inc. 381 S.

Strianese, Chief of Police THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: October 13, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.M.8 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/CDW-G/EMERGENCY VEHICLE SUPPLY (EVS) ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests approval to purchase and install 68 In-Car video systems in police vehicles. The cameras will be purchased on a Federal GSA contract from CDW-G at a price of $5,101.08 each for a total purchase price of $346,873.44. The installation will be completed by EVS at a cost of $345 each for a total amount of $23,460. BACKGROUND This equipment will be used daily during routine traffic enforcement and community patrols. It has the ability to secure solid evidence for criminal prosecution, real time recording of events, and enhanced officer safety. It also reduces the likelihood of civil liability claims. Currently the Department only has ten (10) such cameras deployed. Over the past couple of years, the purchase of additional cameras has been deferred due to funding limitations. Purchase of the 68 requested here will allow the Department to fully equip all of the take home Patrol vehicles as well as those vehicles used in high-risk situations. Incar video cameras have become an industry standard, and without them, our Department is falling behind. The cost of the cameras with CDW-G is under a GSA contract (#GS-35F-0143R). EVS is the vendor of choice for the installation; they been selected as the Department’s vendor for work on police vehicles. This selection was made based on a variety of factors including: quality of work, price, and speed/efficiency of service. Prior to this shift, multiple vendors worked on the vehicles. Due to the volume and complexity of equipment, a variety of issues arose, including blame shifting between vendors. Consolidating the work with one vendor eliminated that problem, reduced equipment costs, and reduced staffing costs required to transport each vehicle to multiple locations, as well as reducing down time for vehicles. FUNDING SOURCE Funding in the amount of $156,000 has been approved in this year’s CIP (#334-2111-521-64.90, project # 12-046). The remainder of the funding, $214,333.44, will come from the Department’s Federal Forfeiture account (#115-2112-521-64.90). RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval.

BACKGROUND The applicant has submitted tour route maps that indicate the tours will be operated solely on the barrier island and extend primarily south of Atlantic Avenue. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The required training of customers is proposed within the parking area on the north side of the plaza. Further, the floor plan indicates that the repair of these devices will occur within the interior of the tenant space. At its meeting of September 19, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the conditional use request for The Electric Experience and recommended approval (6-1, Spodak opposed) to the City Commission. However, the Planning and Zoning Board did express concerns with homeowner privacy with respect to the tour segments through neighborhoods particularly along East Road and Vista Del Mar Drive. Further, as Segways are not allowed on Atlantic Avenue there was concern over short segments that were proposed along Atlantic Avenue even though the applicant indicated the devices are walked in those areas of Atlantic Avenue. The Board was also concerned that the businesses that utilize the parking area along the north side of the site be notified of the proposed use and that training is proposed within this parking lot. The applicant has provided notice to the affected business regarding the proposed use and training within the parking area (see attached letter and list of property owners). In response to the Planning and Zoning Board’s concerns, the applicant has submitted a revised tour route map that has eliminated the East Road and Vista Del Mar Drive segments and added a note that indicates that the devices will be walked within Atlantic Avenue. Since the applicant has notified the affected business owners and revised the tour route map, the two conditions of approval recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board dealing with these items have been deleted. Additional background and an analysis of the Conditional Use request are found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report. REVIEW BY OTHERS Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA): At its meeting of September 8, 2011, the CRA reviewed the conditional use request and recommended approval Downtown Development Authority: At its meeting of September 12, 2011, the DDA reviewed the conditional use request and recommended approval. RECOMMENDATION Move a recommendation of approval of the conditional use request to allow a Segway Tours and Segway Sales for The Electric Experience, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request, and approval thereof, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(E)(5) and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations, subject to the following conditions: 1. That a note be added to the plans that indicate that the parking area will be accessible at all times for the use it was intended (i.e. vehicle parking). 2. That the business is limited to no more than nine tours each day. 3. That the tour guides are prohibited from amplifying voice or music while operating tours. 4. That tours will be conducted in compliance with Chapter 132.10(c) of the City Code of Ordinances. 5. That the Segways be walked across Atlantic Avenue. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A SEGWAY TOUR AND SALES FACILITY KNOWN AS THE ELECTRIC EXPERIENCE 1.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Estelio Breto, Senior Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: October 3, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.B. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 WAIVER REQUESTS/BOUERI MIXED-USE BUILDING ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a total of six waivers: two waiver request to Land Development Regulation (LDR) Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4) regarding the required building frontage and front setback along SE 1st Avenue and along SE 1st Street; one waiver request to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2), to reduce the required 75% transparency surface to 49% for the building elevation along SE 1st Avenue and to 43% for the building elevation along the SE 1st Street l; one waiver request to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(3) to reduce the required corner clip at the intersection of SE 1st Street and SE 1st Avenue from 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11”; and two waiver requests to LDR Section 6.1.3(B) to reduce the required 8’ wide sidewalk along SE 1st Avenue and SE 1st Street to 5’ all in association with the Boueri Mixed Use development. BACKGROUND The following waivers are requested in association with the Boueri Mixed Use development: Waiver #1: Along SE 1st Avenue: For a height from finished grade to 25’: A Waiver request to LDR Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4) [Design Development Standards]: -To allow an increase in the required building frontage setback at 10’ or less from a minimum of 64.8’ to 67’; and -To allow a decrease in the remaining length of the building frontage setback at 15’ or more from 7.2’ to 5’; and Along SE 1st Avenue: For a height from 25’ to 48’ -To allow a decrease in the required building frontage setback at 15’ minimum from 50.4’ to 31’. Waiver #2: Along SE 1st Street: For a height from finished grade to 25’: A Waiver request to LDR Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4) [Design Development Standards]: -To allow a decrease in the required building frontage setback at 10’ or less from a minimum of 86.1’ to 44’; -To allow a decrease in the remaining length of the building frontage at 15’ or more from 12.3’ to 5’. Along SE 1st Street: For a height from 25’ to 48’ -To allow a decrease in the required building frontage setback at 15’ minimum from 86’ to 31’. Waiver #3: A waiver request to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2) to reduce the 75% minimum transparency or glass surface area on the ground floor architectural elevation along SE 1st Avenue from the required 75% to 49% and along SE 1st Street from the required 75% to 43%. Waiver #4: A waiver request to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(3) to reduce the required 20’ by 20’ corner clip triangle at the intersection of SE 1st Avenue and SE 1st Street from the required 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11” Waiver #5: A waiver request to LDR Section 6.1.3(B) to reduce the required 8’ wide side walk along SE 1st Avenue from 8' to 5’. Waiver #6: A waiver request to LDR Section 6.1.3(B) to reduce the required width of the sidewalk in the Central Business District along SE 1stAvenue from 8' to 5’. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body must make a finding that granting the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Waiver #1 and Waiver #2 – Required Building Frontage and Setback: The applicant has provided the following justification with regard to these two waiver requests: “The architect is fully aware and respects the section of the LDR's requirements for frontage. The architect has strived to meet as close as possible the intent of the code with reference to SE 1 Street. The layout of the site makes additional frontage unfeasible. The architect has designed a decorate wall to enhance the frontage while also providing screening from the parking. On the SE 1st Avenue elevation the architect is within a few percent point of meeting all requirements and has received support for waivers from the P&Z Department. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(8)(5), Waiver Findings, can be made. Therefore, for the reasons enumerated above, we respectfully request that this waivers be approved”. Waiver #1 and #2 are minor adjustments to building setback requirements. The intent of the code is to provide a building that has architectural relief both at the street level as well as upper floors, and this development meets that intent. The waivers will not adversely affect neighboring properties or diminish the provision of public facilities. The waivers would also be supported under similar circumstances and therefore will not result in the grant of a special privilege. Thus, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5 (B)(5). Waiver #3 -Minimum Transparency: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2), the minimum transparency or glass surface area on the ground floor wall area of all non-residential and mixed-use buildings shall be a minimum of 75% of the wall area for that elevation. All storefronts or glass areas abutting the street shall be transparent. The building ground floor transparency along SE 1st Avenue is 49% while 75% is required. Also, the building ground floor transparency elevation along SE 1st Street is only 43% while 75% is required. The proposed north and west elevations for the Boueri mixed use building do not meet the LDR requirement, and thus, the applicant has requested a waiver. In support of the waiver request the applicant has provided the following statement: “Prior approval for a similar condition has been given to Chase Bank: 1010 North Federal Highway, Delray Beach, FL. The percentage of glass surface area requested is more consistent with the massing and proportion of the design of the building(s). Tall ceiling height has been provided on the ground floor areas; this feature is also another key element for the survivability of the retail components of the project. Based on this ceiling height, the resulting glass surface area required is excessively disproportionate to the overall building frontage. In any event, the glass surface/transparency provided is more than sufficient to meet the intent of the LDRs, which is to maintain a pedestrian friendly retail/office environment. This project meets or exceeds the requirements of LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) for this waiver request. By granting this waiver, a superior product will be achieved. The waiver will not adversely affect the neighboring area, significantly diminish the provision of public facilities, create an unsafe situation and/or result in the grant of a special privilege. The intent of this requirement is to assure that the street facades remain customer friendly and encourage pedestrian traffic and the current facades meet the intent of this requirement. Granting the requested waiver will not have an adverse effect on the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create an unsafe situation. This waiver would also be supported under similar circumstances and therefore will not result in the grant of a special privilege. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. Waiver #4 – Required Corner Clip: Corner Clip: Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(3), a right-of-way dedication will be required at all intersections in the Central Business District (CBD). This right-of-way dedication will consist of an area of property located at the corner formed by the intersection of two or more public rights-of-way with two sides of the triangular area being 20 feet in length along the abutting public right-of-way lines. The ground floor structure of the proposed building encroaches into the required corner clip at the intersection of SE 1st Avenue and SE 1st Street. Thus, the applicant has requested a waiver to reduce the required corner clip from 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11”. In support of the waiver the applicant has provided the following statement: “The property owner will provide a 12'-11" by 12'-11" dedication corner clip along S.E. 1st avenue and S.E. 1st street. We are also providing the 20'x 20' site triangle at this corner location. The property owner is providing over 7% of his site in dedications and easements. A 20' x 20' corner clip would increase that over 8% and make the project unfeasible. Thus we ask for a reduced corner clip. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) Waiver Findings can be made. Therefore, for the reasons enumerated above, we respectfully request that this waiver be approved”. The applicant has been required to dedicate 5’ along SE 1st Avenue, plus two (2’) feet r-o-w dedication along the east alley r-o-w. To provide a triangle dedication of 20’ by 20’ corner clip will require the dedication of almost 8% of his land to the City. It is noted that a triangle dedication of a 20’ by 20’ corner clip will relocate the existing property line, and thus, compliance with the CBD design guidelines will futher reduce the footprint of the building making the building economically unfeasible. The applicant is requesting a reduction of the corner clip triangle side to 12’-11” by 12’-11”. Granting the requested waiver will not have an adverse effect on the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create and unsafe situation. This waiver would also be supported under similar circumstances and therefore will not result in the grant of a special privilege. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. Waiver #5 and Waiver #6 – Provision of Sidewalks: Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B), an 8’ sidewalk shall be provided in the Central Business District. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow for a reduction from 8'-0" to 5’-0” wide sidewalk along SE 1st Street and along SE 1st Avenue. In support of the SE 1 st Street waiver request the applicant has provided the following statement: “There are already new city sidewalks recently installed at 4' wide along S.E. 1st street. The owner will provide an easement to increase the sidewalk wide from 4' to 5' along SE 1st Street. Increasing the sidewalk to the proposed 8' wide would prevent the site to layout efficiently. Thus, we ask you to support the sidewalk reduction”. In support of the SE 1 st Avenue waiver request the applicant has provided the following statement: “The property owner will provide a new 5' concrete sidewalk along S.E. 1st Avenue. Increasing the sidewalk to the proposed 8' wide would prevent the site to layout efficiently. Thus we ask you to support the sidewalk reduction”. The Central Business District design guide lines require that all buildings be placed in close proximity to rights of way to encourage pedestrian flows and to foster a uniform streetscape with ample sidewalks. The adjacent land use intensity, pattern of development, and anticipated pedestrian traffic does not warrant an 8’ wide sidewalk along SE 1stStreet or SE 1st Avenue. Main thoroughfares in the CBD (Central Business District) such as Atlantic Avenue, Pineapple Grove Way and the Federal Highway pairs may require an 8’ wide sidewalk due to the intensity of development and anticipated volume of pedestrian traffic. Granting the requested waivers will not have an adverse effect on the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create and unsafe situation. This waiver would also be supported under similar circumstances and therefore will not result in the grant of a special privilege. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) reviewed the waiver requests at their meeting of September 14, 2011 in conjunction with review of the proposed Boueri Mixed Use Building. After a brief discussion, the Board moved a recommendation of approval of all waivers on a unanimous vote of 6-0. A detailed description and analysis of the proposal is contained within the attached SPRAB staff report September 14, 2011.

Waiver #2: to LDR Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4), along SE 1st Street: For a height from finished grade to 25’: § To allow a decrease in the required building frontage setback at 10’ or less from a minimum of 86.1’ to 44’; § To allow a decrease in the remaining length of the building frontage at 15’ or more from 12.3’ to 5’; and For a height from 25’ to 48’: § To allow a decrease in the required building frontage setback at 15’ minimum from 86.1’ to 31’ Should the waiver to the building frontage and front setback along SE 1st Street be granted? Yes _______ No _______ C. Waiver #3: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2), the minimum transparency or glass surface area on the ground floor wall area of all nonresidential and mixed-use buildings shall be a minimum of 75% of the wall area for that elevation. All storefronts or glass areas abutting the street shall be transparent, non-solar or non-mirrored, and have a light transmission reduction of no more than twenty percent (20%). The building ground floor transparency along SE 1st Avenue is 49% while 75% is required. Also, the building ground floor transparency elevation along SE 1st Street is only 43% while 75% is required. The proposed north and west elevations for the Boueri mixed use building do not meet the LDR requirement, and thus, the applicant has requested a waiver to this LDR requirement.

Further, a dedication of 10 feet shall be required along both sides at the intersection of an alley and right-of-way. These areas are to be measured from their point of intersection, and the third side being a line connecting the ends of the other two lines. This right-of-way dedication will be referred to as a “corner clip” and is provided to ensure adequate right-of-way for the safe movement of pedestrians in the CBD. It appears that the ground floor structure of the building encroaches into the required corner clip at the intersection of SE 3 1st Avenue and SE 1st Street. Thus, the applicant has requested a waiver to reduce the required corner clip from 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11”. Should the waiver to reduce the corner clip required by Section 5.3.1(D)(3) be granted? Yes _______ No _______ E.

McDuffie, Mayor ________________________________ Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: October 13, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.C. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF THE HPB'S DECISION/85 S.E. 6TH AVENUE/CLASS III SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is consideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the Class III Site Plan Modification at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon findings that the request was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and did not meet the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. BACKGROUND At its meeting of August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank House from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a nine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail use and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversion of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, the office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expire and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included installation of the balance of required spaces on site (a total of four new spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existing spaces off the alley on the east side of the property). As with previous approvals, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the approvals expired. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed yet another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all required parking (6 spaces) associated with the Class III Site Plan Modification for the office space. This request was not supported and the appeal of both the denial of the waiver (separate Commission item) and this Class III Site Plan Modification are now before the City Commission. If the Class III Site Plan Modification is approved by City Commission, the approval should include the following conditions: 1. That a traffic statement be provided; 2. That a current floor plan be submitted; 3. That compliance with handicap accessibility within the office space be indicated; and, 4. That a decorative bicycle rack be provided on-site. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waiver to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review when “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applicant to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) considered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the in-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Preservation Board’s action of denial.

The Standards (36 CFR Part 67) apply to historic buildings of all periods, styles, types, materials, and sizes. They apply to both the exterior and the interior of historic buildings. The Standards also encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

BACKGROUND At its meeting of October 4, 2011, the City Commission considered the subject appeal and tabled the item so that additional background information and clarification could be provided by Staff regarding the outstanding violations of the illegal conversion of the garage to office use, and the Code Enforcement Board case which was resolved in 2003. The summary of the longstanding history of outstanding permits, the code case, and multiple site plan applications submitted for HPB review is below. In researching our files, a Class V site plan was submitted in 1995 for the conversion of the principal structure (Blank House) to retail use; conversion of the garage to office use, construction of a 9 space pea rock parking area at the SW corner of the site; and additional site improvements. The request was approved by the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) on August 16, 1995 (valid through February 1997), and it was noted that this approval was for a conversion that already occurred without permits, and without the provision of required parking. No site improvements were installed and the site plan approval expired in February 1997. On March 17, 2000, a building permit application was submitted to convert the garage space to office and to construct associated site improvements (parking lot, etc.). As the original site plan approval had expired (February, 1997), a new site plan approval was required. On December 12, 2000 a Class III site plan modification was submitted for conversion of garage to two offices (already established), installation of outdoor dining and exterior staircase for the Blank House, and construction of 8 asphalt parking spaces at the SW corner of lot, and 1 handicap space at the North side of the lot. A building permit was submitted on December 19, 2001 (01-77442) for the conversion from garage to office and related site improvements. This permit request did not include the garage door replacement with French doors done in 1995. On January 18, 2001, a code violation was issued (CEB-01-77906) for conducting work without a permit (changing of the garage doors to French doors). As the applicant was seeking site plan approval (per December 12, 2000 submittal) for the use conversion, the citation was likely limited to the physical work which had been accomplished without a permit. The Class III site plan modification request submitted on December 12, 2000 was approved at the HPB meeting of May 2, 2001. This site plan was not certified (conditions of approval had not been addressed) and the permit was not issued. The improvements were not constructed and the Class III approval (May, 2001) expired on November 2, 2002. As no action was taken by the applicant to get a permit for the conversion of the doors, a lien was levied on April 18, 2002. A new Class III site plan modification and COA (2003-052 SPM) were submitted on November 22, 2002, which included the conversion of the garage into offices and associated site improvements (including parking). This was approved subject to conditions on March 19, 2003. The Class III site plan modification was certified on June 3, 2003, and building permits were issued on August 6, 2003 (01-77442). As the French doors were now included in the improvements on the permit, the citation issued by the Code Enforcement Division (work constructed without a permit) was satisfied and a letter was sent to the applicant on August 15, 2003. The lien amount was considered by Code Enforcement on October 14, 2003 and reduced. This reduced lien was paid on November 13, 2003 and the lien was closed. On December 5, 2003, a COA and Class II Site Plan Modification (COA 2004-076-SPI-CL2) was submitted. The request included an English Rose Garden and fountain in place of the parking lot and a request to replace the 9 spaces with 6 in-lieu parking spaces. A reduction to 6 spaces from 9 was requested as the apartment conversion originally part of the 1995 approval was never implemented. A revision to building permit number 01-77442 was filed on December 29, 2003 to “change parking lot to English Rose Garden and walk path”. The permit was put on hold pending Class II site plan approval (submitted on December 5, 2003) which was scheduled for HPB consideration on January 7, 2004. The item was tabled by HPB at this meeting due to concerns over the elimination of the parking spaces. The HPB approved the Class II modification at its meeting of March 4, 2004 and recommended approval of the purchase of 6 in-lieu of parking spaces. The request for 6 in-lieu of parking spaces was reviewed by the City Commission at 4 separate meetings with a final approval granted for the purchase of 2 in-lieu parking with 4 additional new spaces for a total of 7 spaces to be provided on site. The Class II site plan modification expired in August of 2005, as revised plans were never submitted for certification, and the in-lieu fees were never paid. As a result, the revision to permit 01-77442, submitted on December 29, 2003, was never issued, and the permit file was closed out on July 24, 2008 due to no activity. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed yet another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all required parking (6 spaces) for the office space conversion. This request was not supported and the appeal of that denial is now before the City Commission. WAIVER: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2., waivers may be granted by the Historic Preservation Board for relief from the number of parking spaces required in Section 4.6.9 upon presentation of confirmation that adequate parking for a proposed use may be achieved by alternate means which are found to be in keeping with the provisions and intent of the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. As required above, confirmation that adequate parking can be achieved by alternate means has not been presented. Past site plan submittals have been approved which adequately provided the required amount of parking and were found to be appropriate and compatible to the historic property. Further, in 2004, additional options were approved to provide for a portion of the parking on-site and a portion via inlieu. None of these options were followed up on or completed. Waiving the required parking spaces altogether will have the potential to adversely affect the neighboring area in that the required parking for this private project will utilize public parking spaces, thereby reducing the number of public spaces available for other users. In addition to the above, it should be considered that while relief may be granted to the amount of required parking spaces, the intent of this “benefit” afforded to historic properties is not to excuse the provision of all parking but to provide alternatives. Otherwise, one could conclude that all parking on historic properties converted to office use is not necessary. It is noted that the parking requirement currently being applied is significantly less than the current code requirement. To understand the intensity of the uses on the site, and what their parking requirement would be if the site were required to comply with today’s parking requirement, the following is noted. The required parking for each individual use would be: office-4, restaurant-13, multi-family residence-7, for a total of 24 spaces. The mixed-use parking calculation would require that twenty (20) spaces be provided, plus the two (2) spaces eliminated from the garage conversion to office. Utilizing the old code requirements requires that only nine (9) parking spaces be provided (3 existing and 6 for the garage conversion). The current request is to legally establish the aforenoted change of use, and to completely waive the required six (6) parking spaces. The subject request is not supported by Staff nor has it received support from other reviewing Boards. If Commission finds that the most appropriate manner in which to maintain the historic integrity of the site is to not physically provide any parking spaces, then Staff recommends that the property owner be required to make payment of all required spaces (6) via the inlieu of parking process. This alternative would be the fair approach given that other historic properties converted to commercial use have been obligated to account for their required parking through the available and appropriate options, including the in-lieu program. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waiver to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review when “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applicant to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) considered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the in-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Preservation Board’s action of denial. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR 85 SE 6TH AVENUE 1.

Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 30, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.B.1 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HPB'S DECISION/WAIVER REQUEST ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is consideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) rejection of the waiver request on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the waiver of required parking spaces at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon a failure to make positive findings to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2. BACKGROUND On August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank House from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a nine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail use and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversion of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, the office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expire and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included the installation of the balance of required spaces on site (a total of four new spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existing spaces off the alley on the east side of property). As with previous approvals, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the approvals expired. Coversheet Page 1 of 3 http://itwebapp/AgendaIntranet/Bluesheet.aspx?ItemID=4984&MeetingID=331 10/14/2011 At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed yet another attempt, after 16 years, to address the office conversion.

BACKGROUND 1. The Municipalities are bringing this lawsuit solely to contest the funding mechanism for the Inspector General Program, not to overturn the Program. 2. The current funding mechanism, which makes the Municipalities share in the cost of the Inspector General Program, is an unlawful tax and goes against past precedent for countywide programs. 3. For the funding mechanism to be lawful, the County must pay for the Inspector General Program in its entirety. RECOMMENDATION The City Attorney’s office recommends City Commission discretion. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager THROUGH: David T.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Bob Diaz, Construction Manager Richard C. Hasko, Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T. Harden DATE: October 17, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.F. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 BID AWARD/RANDOLPH AND DEWDNEY CONSTRUCTION, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to consider approval of a bid award to Randolph and Dewdney Construction, Inc., in the total amount of $456,710.00 for renovations to the Pompey Park Concession Stand. BACKGROUND The Pompey Park concession stand building, originally constructed in 1974, has had only one substantial enhancement with the addition of a second floor press box in 1991. The building is currently in need of extensive renovations as a result of experiencing years of weathering and use by the public. Interior spaces of the building like the restrooms are small, inadequately lit and poorly ventilated. In the opinion of staff, the structure has not exhausted it useful life so refurbishing the building is recommended. As a result, funds were programmed into the Capital Improvements program for fiscal year 2011. Bids for this project were opened on Thursday, May 12, 2011; six bids were received. The apparent low bidder was Randolph and Dewdney Construction with a bid amount of $456,710.00. Construction time for this proposal has been reduced to 120 days. The agenda item for award of this bid was tabled at the July 12, 2011 Special/Workshop meeting with some Commissioners expressing reluctance to spend the total cost of the project. Since then staff has explored less expensive alternatives for the rehabilitation project including revisiting a phased approach involving only the first floor rehabilitation and replacement of the deteriorated staircase to the existing second floor press box. Staff presented the Phase I proposal to Commission at the August 30, 2011 Workshop Meeting. During discussion of the Phase I alternative, it was noted that the windows in the existing press box were Plexiglas, and had weathered and fogged to a degree that significantly hindered visibility of the ball fields. Commission expressed a consensus that the window replacement should also be included in the Phase 1 scope. After further discussion, Commission directed staff to place the item on the September 6, 2011 agenda for action at which time Commission could choose to construct the entire project as bid and award the contract to Randolph & Dewdney Construction as the lowest responsive bidder for the amount of $456,710.00; or build only the first phase improvements limited to first floor rehabilitation scope and replacement of the stairway to the second floor. The estimated construction cost for that scope is $233,000.00. The replacement of the weathered windows in the press box would add to Phase I costs estimated as follows: Replace with impact resistant windows $ 15,000 or replace with new Plexiglas $ 6,000. On advice of the City Attorney, should Commission opt to approve the Phase I scope only, the project will need to be rebid. On September 6, 2011 Commission voted 2/2 (no action); as a result the City pursued the option to secure additional funding for the project from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) subsequently approved the request for funding on October 13th, 2011 for the amount of $200,000.00 (see attached email); this will allow the City to conduct all of the proposed renovations in lieu of phasing the project. Randolph and Dewdney Construction, Inc. has agreed to honor the bid amounts submitted on May 12, 2011 (see attached letter). FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 334-4127-572-62.10 (General Construction Fund/Pompey Park Concession Stand). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a bid award to Randolph and Dewdney Construction, Inc., in the total amount of $456,710.00 for the renovations to the Pompey Park Concession Stand.

BACKGROUND The proposed text amendment is related to the establishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue. This business wants to rent bicycles that have electric-helper motors to the general public at this site. The current rental of sporting goods and equipment category is limited to nonmotorized goods and equipment. As the rental of motorized sporting goods is not currently allowed in the CBD or GC zoning districts, the applicant has submitted this privately-initiated LDR text amendment. It is noted that the applicant has also submitted a conditional use application for Segway sales and tours at this site and a request that the City modify the Code of Ordinances definition of “bicycle” to include the electric-helper motor versions of bicycles. REVIEW BY OTHERS The proposed text amendment was reviewed by the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) at its meeting of September 8, 2011 which recommended approval. The DDA (Downtown Development Authority) considered the proposed text amendment at its meeting of September 12, 2011 and recommended approval. At its meeting of September 13, 2011, the WARC (West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition) considered the proposed text amendment and recommended approval and expressed concerns with the use of these devices on the public sidewalk.

BACKGROUND The proposed definition change is one of several changes being processed in connection with the establishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue. This business wants to rent bicycles, including those with electric-helper motors, to the general public. The current rental of sporting goods and equipment category (which includes bicycles) in the Land Development Regulations is limited to non-motorized goods and equipment. However, the current State of Florida definition of bicycles includes bicycles with electric helper motors. The proposed modification would make the City’s definition of bicycles consistent with the State’s definition. In addition, LDR amendments being initiated by the applicant for The Electric Experience will clarify that bicycles with an electric helper motor are the only motorized equipment permitted in the “Rental of Sporting Goods Equipment” use category.

BACKGROUND On January 11, 2011, Ordinance No. 02-11 was adopted by City Commission to amend the Flood Damage Control Districts regulations. The major component of the previously adopted ordinance (which is the subject of this text amendment) was to require that the “lowest floor elevation be raised twelve inches (12”) above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for all new construction and substantial improvements in the special flood hazard areas for residential and commercial structures, mechanical equipment, utility areas, or any enclosed area including basements and attached garages, or that it must otherwise be provided with flood proofing per FEMA standards.” This recently adopted language has created significant obstacles and has presented unintended consequences to construction activities. It has further been learned that while once thought to be mandates from the State that required our Land Development Regulations to be updated, we now know that the previously adopted amendments were optional. Accordingly, this text amendment will remove only the language that has been problematic. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the item at their September 19, 2011 meeting and a unanimous recommendation of approval was made.

NO. 37-11 First Reading__________________ Second Reading________________ PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 AGENDA NO: VI. C. AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF A CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDR), BY AMENDING SECTION 4.5.3, FLOOD DAMAGE CONTROL DISTRICTS, SUBSECTION D CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS. ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding a city-initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that amends provisions in the Flood Damage Control Districts. Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land Development Regulations may not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Amendments to Section 4.5.3, Flood Damage Control Districts, were recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board on December 20, 2010 and subsequently approved by City Commission by Ordinance 02-11 on January 18, 2011. The purpose was to bring the regulations into compliance with State requirements. The amendment generally dealt with mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment; required openings for enclosed spaces to allow for flow of floodwaters; and included mention of louvers, screens, door openings and required dimensions. However, the major component of the previously adopted ordinance (which is the subject of this text amendment) was to require that the “lowest floor elevation be raised twelve inches (12”) above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for all new construction and substantial improvements in the special flood hazard areas for residential and commercial structures, mechanical equipment, utility areas, or any enclosed area including basements and attached garages, or that it must otherwise be provided with flood proofing per FEMA standards.” This recently adopted language has created significant obstacles and has presented unintended consequences to construction activities. It has further been learned that while once thought to be mandates from the State that required our Land Developments to be updated, we now know that the previously adopted amendments were optional. Accordingly, this text amendment will remove only the language that has been problematic. Following are the negative effects that have been discovered while implementing the requirement to raise the lowest floor elevation twelve inches (12”) above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for all new construction and substantial improvements in the special flood hazard areas for residential and commercial structures, mechanical equipment, utility areas, or any enclosed area including basements and attached garages: § Storm water cannot be accommodated on-site, due to large allowable building envelopes and minimal area remaining to accommodate runoff; Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, September 19, 2011 LDR Amendment – Flood Damage Control Districts 2 § Steeper slopes resulting from increased elevation requirements creates erosion conditions; § Negative impacts have occurred to properties adjacent to construction sites; § To maintain storm water runoff on-site can require very costly infiltration improvements; § Negative impacts have occurred to our public rights-of-way (ponding, erosion); and § Construction associated with a higher floor elevation than is actually required, results with increased costs for fill material, foundation and site stabilization efforts. This amendment will remove the requirement to raise the lowest floor 12” above the Base Flood Elevation, while retaining the other components of the code that have value and are beneficial. Compliance with State requirements will be maintained with adoption of this amendment. REQUIRED FINDINGS Comprehensive Plan Conformance LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings) requires that the City Commission make a finding that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and/or Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The following were identified as relevant to this amendment: FLUE Objective A-1 Property shall be developed or redeveloped, in a manner so that the future use, intensity and density are appropriate in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations; encourage affordable goods and services; are complementary to and compatible with adjacent land uses; and fulfill remaining land use needs. This objective is supported as new regulations will ensure that development and redevelopment is appropriate in terms of topographic and other physical considerations, by requiring minimum elevations for specified features along with openings to allow for the flow of floodwaters. FLUE Objective A-5 The City shall maintain its Land Development Regulations, which shall be regularly reviewed and updated, to provide timely, equitable and streamlined processes including, but not limited to, building permit processes for residential developments and to accommodate mixed-use developments, and other innovative development practices. FLUE Policy A-5.2 The City shall continue to enforce its Flood Damage Protection Ordinance. Both Objective A-5 and Policy A-5.2 are supported by the proposed regulations. The objective requires that the LDRs be regularly reviewed and regularly updated, and the policy requires the city to enforce its Flood Damage Protection Ordinance.

BACKGROUND The property under consideration contains a 44,514 square feet nursing home with 120 units (as reported in the PBC Property Appraisers web-site), which was built in 1984. Its annexation is pursuant to a modified water service agreement executed on March 18, 1999. The agreement for a larger parcel of 56.501 acres stated that the overall development will be annexed in phases with the shopping center to be annexed by March 31, 2001 (completed), Delray Medical Center during the year 2005 (completed), Fair Oaks property by 2008 (completed), and the Lago Vista property by 2011 (this property). Along with the annexation, the City is rezoning the property from County RM (Multi-Family Residential Medium Density) to City CF (Community Facilities). The property is located within the City’s designated annexation area known as Annexation Area “B”, as noted in Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.5 of the Comprehensive Plan. The associated Future Land Use Amendment will be considered with the second reading of this annexation and rezoning ordinance. A full analysis of the proposed annexation, rezoning, and Land Use Amendment is provided in the attached July 18, 2011, Planning and Zoning Board staff report. REVIEW BY OTHERS The subject property is not in a geographical area requiring review by the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) or the DDA (Downtown Development Authority). The Planning and Zoning Board held its public hearing regarding the annexation, rezoning and FLUM amendment on July 18, 2011 and unanimously (5-0) recommended approval. Palm Beach County Notice: On June 17, 2011, Palm Beach County Administrator and Palm Beach County Planning Division were notified of the City’s intent to annex this property.

REGULAR AGENDA: 9.A.A. AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT/TOWN OF GULF STREAM: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Gulf Stream to provide for an increase in the fee paid to the City based upon the Town's annexation of additional property. The City Attorney stated this is the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and the Town of Gulf Stream and the terms of the agreement were discussed at the August 2, 2011 Commission Meeting and at that time direction was given that once Gulf Stream approved it staff would bring it back to the Commi ssion. 9 10/04/11 Mr. Frankel explained that he removed this item because in his opinion the City of Delray Beach did not get as much as they deserved and the refore he is not in favor of going forward. Mr. Carney stated he spent a lot of time analyzing the contrac t and the issues surrounding the contract. He stated although he appreciates the view that some have expressed that the standard for applying what pricing s hould be used would be dwelling units, the point of fact is that the contract provided tha t the standard was population. Mr. Carney stated this is a situation where applyi ng the standard gives the City of Delray Beach the biggest benefit in the balance be cause 40% of the population of Gulf Stream is gone in the summer and all of these people ar e paying for fire services, etc. for things they are not using. Mr. Carney commented about t he issue regarding the 38 units that were to be constructed at the old Sea Horse Club and stated they are not constructed. Mr. Carney stated he measured this on the amount of curre nt usage and also looked at the amount of actual usage as it relates to the people in Gulf Stream who are calling on the services of Delray Fire-Rescue and 78% of them w ere for emergency services not for fire and a fair percentage of them resulted i n transportation being given by the City of Delray Beach to hospitals in the area and th e City for the most part was reimbursed for this service. Dr. Alperin stated he is comfortable with the formula. Mayor McDuffie stated he spent a lot of time on that as wel l including speaking to the Mayor and Town Administrator. Mayor McDuffie sta ted he has other meetings with Mayors across Palm Beach County and he is very aw are that the formula that is used essentially takes the cost and adds 25% to it so the City makes a profit on the contract. However, there are at least six barrier island m unicipalities right now that are not happy with the contracts that they have and they have banned toget her to release an RFP to privatize all their fire service on the barrier isl and in those six communities. Mayor McDuffie stated he is comfortable with the formula and supports it a s well. Mrs. Gray moved to approve Item 9.A.A. (formerly 8.J.), seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr . Frankel – No; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alp erin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.A.

Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex par te communications. Mr. Frankel stated he has been to Deck 84 numerous tim es but has not had one communication about the subject matter. Mrs. Gray stated s he had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he too has atte nded many functions at Deck 84 and spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner today. Mr. Carney stated he spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner today and he did not speak about this issue a nd noted he has been to Deck 84. Dr. Alperin stated he has been to Deck 84 and spoke t o Attorney Michael Weiner.

Mr. Dorling stated this is a recommendation of approval for a waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)2 to reduce the front setback from five feet (5’) t o 8 inches to allow the installation of a support column and knee wall associated with new sliding glass doors in the same location as the existing windows. He stated Dec k 84 is on the south side of Atlantic Avenue on the Intracoastal Waterway. Mr. Dorling stated at its meeting of September 21, 2011, the Hist oric Preservation Board (HPB) approved with conditions a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) and Class I Site Plan Modification for elevation changes on the front and rear facades of Deck 84. The HPB considered this waiver request concurr ently with the COA and Site Plan requests and recommended approval with a vote of 7 to 0. Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1 st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, representing the applicant, stated they are not encroaching any further than the existing encroachment; those fix ed windows are sliding windows. Mr. Weiner stated they have complete unanimity by the H istoric Preservation Board and this meets the requirements for substantial competent evidence. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the waiver request, to please come forwa rd at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission re garding the waiver request, the public hearing was closed. Mrs. Gray asked what the purpose of the sliding glass door is. T he applicant stated this is to make the location more attractive and more inviting. Mrs. Gray stated this is going to be beautiful there. Dr. Alperin stated there is no room for tables outside and asked if they will allow air in for the circulation. 11 10/04/11 Mayor McDuffie asked if the knee wall is going to come down. The applicant stated the knee wall is going to stay and the mulch is going to come out and it will be covered with the same travertine that is on the outside a nd on the floor of the building. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the C ommission who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes). Mr. Frankel moved to adopt the Board Order as presented, seconded by Mr. Carney. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr s. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Fra nkel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.B.

(Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie stated anyone wishing to speak on Item 9.B., 9.B.1., 9.C., and 9.C.1. and who has not been sworn in to please stand and be sworn in by t he City Clerk. Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex par te communications. Mr. Frankel stated he received a call from Michae l Weiner who is the Attorney for the applicant about this agenda item. Mrs. Gray stated she has no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he received a call from Attorney Michael Weiner as well. Mr. Carney stated he spoke to Mr. Ly nne briefly a couple of days ago and Mr. Weiner today. Dr. Alperin stated he spoke to Mr. Weiner today. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2011-061 into the record. Mr. Dorling stated this is a consideration of an appeal of a Hist oric Preservation Board (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The Board made a motion to approve a Class III Site Plan Modification which failed on a 0 to 5 vote. Mr. Dorling stated at its meeting of August 16, 1995, the Historic Preservation Board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for some improvements that were for two of the 12 10/04/11 three buildings. In 1995, there was a conversion of the Blank House from a single-family residence to a retail use and also a conversion of a two-car ga rage to an office building and a nine space parking lot. He stated the conversions occurred but none of the parking improvements associated with that conversion was constructed and sub sequently the office was never legally established. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, the applicant submitted Site Pla n Applications and was approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improveme nts. Mr. Dorling stated each of those applications was allowed to expire and none o f the required improvements were ever constructed associated with that office conversi on. Mr. Dorling stated August 3, 2004, the applicant was granted the abi lity to pay for two in-lieu parking spaces and included the installation of the balance of required spaces on-site in a configuration off the City’s parking lot. He stated in 2004 there was a proposal to put in a tea garden and eliminate the parking. The 2004 approval allowed in- lieu of two spaces and four spaces in either configuration off the parking lot and that approval was granted; however, the parking improvements were never construct ed. At its meeting of August 21, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) reviewed another attempt after 16 years to address the office c onversion. This request was to waive all required (6 spaces) associated with the Clas s III Site Plan Modification for the office space. This request was not supported and the ap peal of both the denial of the waiver and this Class III Plan Modification are now before the City Com mission. Mr. Dorling stated this is a request to completely waive the requirement. At its meeting March 10, 2011, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) recommended denial of the waiver to the required parking; a t its meeting of March 14, 2011, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request and the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applic ant to work out an alternative approach with staff and return to the DDA for furth er review; at its meeting of June 28, 2011, the Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) also recommended denial of the request to waive all six (6) parking spaces and sugg ested that the applicant work with staff and possibly provide three spaces on-site and provi de three (3) spaces on- site and provide the other through an in-lieu agreement. Mr. Dorl ing reiterated that the applicant does not want to provide the parking nor does he want to pay f or the parking. Staff believes that they should be responsible for that parkin g in one configuration or another and recommends that this appeal not be upheld and that the or iginal recommendation by HPB stands. Mr. Dorling stated if the Commissi on should decide otherwise, staff would like the four (4) conditions on page two to be applied. Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1 st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, briefly discussed a request associated with a Class III Site Plan Modification to the property located at 85 S.E. 6 th Avenue known as the Blank House. Mr. Weiner stated the Blank House is designated on the Local Historic Register built in 1903 updated through the 40’s and 50’s and it was converted to res taurant use in 1995. The restaurant is a little over 2,000 square feet and the office is 1,000 square feet. 13 10/04/11 Various site plans have been proposed for this site but becaus e of conditions that were added the applicant has been reluctant to commence construction. With respect to the current request, the City is recommending that there be six (6) parking spaces added. Mr. Weiner stated they would have to add about 700 square feet of pavement for a 1,000 square foot office. Mr. Weiner stated these requirements and othe r requirements in the staff report cannot be imposed because LDR Section 4.5.1 of the LDR s stating that parking relief be granted by the HPB if the following conditions are met: (1) that adequate parking proposed for the use and that the parking be achi eved by alternate means and (2) that those alternative means be found to be in keepi ng with the provisions of the Delray Beach Historic Design Guidelines. He stated the el ements for relief are met and in 2008 the City placed this ordinance in the LDRs in order to accommodate this kind of situation. Mr. Weiner stated in a report signed by Ron Hoggard and Paul Dorling in support of that ordinance it stated that the language was added t o regulate parking by presenting additional options. Mr. Weiner displayed a photo of the property taken March 11, 2011, and the parking lot immediately adjacent is utilized at only 40%. He stated this is substantial competent evidence there are alternate means for parking. Mr. Weiner stated the Planning and Zoning Department has informed him that the y would not consider the request unless they submitted a Class III site p lan modification. Mr. Weiner stated they have done this under protest and reserve all rights a nd noted that a Class III application is not required for a waiver to LDR Section 4.5.1. He sta ted the office use is grandfathered in and previously established and not illegal. Mr. Weiner stated this was approved, tax receipts were issued, and there was a Code Enforceme nt matter that was resolved ending up in confirmation of the completion of the work and appr oval of this use. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the appeal, to please come forward at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the appeal, the public hearing was closed. There was no cross-examination. The following individuals gave a brief rebuttal: Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated there wa s a tax receipt issued for this property but that does not give la nd use authority. There was a Code violation issued for installation of replacement doors for a gar age. Mr. Dorling stated that was closed out and they did pay a fine and that did not r esolve the outstanding issue for many years about the parking and they came in two y ears later to talk about the parking and to seek alternatives. He stated that is when the Cit y Commission talked about alternatives with providing the in-lieu and the options for pa rking off-site. Mr. Dorling stated the ordinance that Mr. Weiner talks about providing a waiver and alternative means was not envisioned to waiving all the requireme nts and having the public provide the parking but it was to provide additional options in these situations where paving of the site is inappropriate you can provide in-lie u fees or an off-site parking agreement. 14 10/04/11 Mr. Weiner briefly discussed the letter from staff and made reference to the building permits which stated “enclosed garage for additional office use” (March 17, 2000). He stated the doors went up without approval but it was done for the purpose of being an office. Mr. Weiner stated the City passed 4.5.1 that s tates to give relief to historic sites and the Parking Management Advisory Board report sa ys if it is 1,000 square feet and it is close to a parking lot their recommendation is no parking spaces. He stated the issue of this office space was closed. Mr. Frankel stated he is troubled that staff has been discus sing this building and feels 1995 is a long time for this place to be in ope ration if it is not compliant with what they are supposed to be. Mr. Frankel state d he finds the case Joe Redner v. the City of Tampa very persuasive. Mr. Frankel made reference to page 3 of the documents submitted by Mr. Weiner in his argument and stated these are powerful documents and noted the 2003 letter that states this is in compliance. With regard to the parking issue, there is a parking lot on Federal Highway and other than at night it is p retty empty during the day. Bert Handlesman, owner of the property, stated he has never seen more than one person in there. Mr. Frankel asked what kind of business ope rates out of the business space. The owner stated it is clerical work. Mr. Fr ankel stated the Parking Management Advisory Board recommended putting in three spaces and as ked if there is any room for compromise. Mr. Weiner stated they have offered one space. The City Manager stated staff has worked with the applica nt and has been very patient with the applicant for 16 years and feels we have provided a good compromise in allowing the parking spaces to be located off the driveway in the public parking lot so there is minimal disruption to the site and no disru ption to the historic appearance of the site. Mrs. Gray asked about the parking process and asked why the C ity did not go after them and make them do this. Mr. Dorling stated it was f ive separate occasions and as these site plans expired and it was brought to their at tention that they needed to do something they came in and got site plan approval again. There is a two year time period for which the site plan is validated and during those two years thos e improvements are expected to be installed. Mr. Dorling stated the record shows tha t there have been five attempts or renewals of site plans with parking scenarios tha t have never been implemented. Mrs. Gray stated there should be some sort of compr omise by the applicant and supports staff’s recommendation. Mr. Carney stated he would like to see Mr. Weiner come up wit h some parking and feels one in-lieu space is not enough. Dr. Alperin stated he is in shock that it has been 16 years and t his is still here. He feels there needs to be a Workshop to discuss why s omething like this was allowed to continue. Dr. Alperin briefly discussed the ordinances a nd stated three boards recommended denial of this application. 15 10/04/11 Mr. Carney inquired about Mr. Weiner’s “51% argument”. Mr. Weiner stated there are 76 spaces in the parking lot called Gladiola and the parking report states that it is not utilized at more than 51%; 50% of 76 spaces is approx imately 38 spaces next to 1,000 square feet. Mr. Carney stated he is troubled with giving away six (6) sp aces. Mayor McDuffie stated he thought he saw some compelling evidence and it troubles him that he now has to sit on the dais as Mayor who w as not on the Commission when all this started and make a decision about something that is 16 years old. Dr. Alperin stated the Commission has to make a decision based on the ordinance now. The City Manager stated another alternative is to table thi s ordinance and allow staff put together a thorough history of this whole parking issue over the entire 16 year period. Mr. Weiner stated the owner has spent hundreds of dollars to keep the house presentable and urged the Commission to vote on this tonight. Jane Rankin, One East Broward Boulevard Ste. #1600, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 (Attorney representing the applicant), stated she handled the transaction in July 2000 and at that time the building was in a condit ion that was very dangerous. Ms. Rankin stated Mr. Handelsman has spent hundreds of thousa nds of dollars in renovating that building inside and out and taking care of the outside of the other properties on the site. She stated to asphalt more of tha t lot would be discouraging when looking at the historic value of the property and the aesthe tic picture that it presents as you enter into the city. She stated the reason for the parki ng waiver is because they believe they have a solid basis for all the land use and zoning comp liance issues. Ms. Rankin stated they too do not understand why this has gone on as long as it has when the matter was disposed of in 2003. The City Attorney stated the applicant has certain rights and asked if they would like the Commission to vote on it. Brief discussion by the Commission followed. Mayor McDuffie a sked staff to be very thorough in what they do and bring back to the Comm ission a complete picture of what happened, why things were approved and if the appli cant did not meet the requirements at the time why permits were issued. Mr. Frankel moved to table Item 9.B., seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor McDuffie – Ye s; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 t o 0 vote. 16 10/04/11 Mr. Frankel moved to table Item 9.B.1., seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; D r. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Sa id motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

ORDINANCE NO. 36-11 (FIRST READING/FIRST PUBLIC HEARING): Consider a privately initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.4.9. (B), “Principal Uses and Structures Permitted”, and Section 4.4.13 (B), “Principal Uses and Structures Permitted”, to cl arify that bicycles with an electric helper motor are the only motorized equipment permitted in t he “rental of sporting goods and equipment” use category . If passed, a second public hearing will be held on October 18, 2011. The caption of Ordinance No. 36-11 is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BY AMENDING SECTION 4.4.9 “GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC) DISTRICT”, SUBSECTION 4.4.9(B), “PRINCIPAL USES AND STRUCTURES PERMITTED”; AND SECTION 4.4.13, "CENTRAL BUSINESS (CBD) DISTRICT", SUBSECTION 4.4.13(B), "PRINCIPAL USES AND STRUCTURES PERMITTED"; TO CLARIFY THAT BICYCLES WITH AN ELECTRIC- HELPER MOTOR ARE THE ONLY MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT PERMITTED IN THE “RENTAL OF SPORTING GOODS AND EQUIPMENT” USE CATEGORY WITHIN THE GC AND CBD ZONING DISTRICTS; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (The official copy of Ordinance No. 36-11 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. 17 10/04/11 Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this i s a privately-initiated text amendment to LDR Section 4.4.9(B)(4)(a) General Commercial – Principal Uses and Section 4.4.13(B)(3)(a) Central Business Distri ct – Principal Uses. Mr. Dorling stated this will clarify that bicycles with an electric-helper motor are the only motorized equipment permitted in the rental of sporting goods equipm ent use category. This is in association with the establishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue and this business wants to rent bicycles that ha ve electric-helper motors to the general public at this site. The current rental of sp orting goods and equipment category is limited to non-motorized goods and equipment. Mr. Dorling s tated this will provide clarification that in the CBD and GC zoning districts thi s will be expanded with respect to motorized bicycles only. The applicant has also sub mitted a conditional use application for Segway tours as well as a city code amendment to the Code of Ordinances definition to bicycles to include the electric-helper motor whic h is consistent with Florida Statute definition for bicycles. At its meeting of September 8, 2011, the Community Redevelopme nt Agency (CRA) recommended approval; at its meeting of Septembe r 12, 2011, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) recommended approval; and at it s meeting of September 13, 2011, the West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC ) recommended approval. Staff recommends approval. David Schmidt, Attorney representing applicant, stated they do not disagree with anything staff has represented and is present f or any questions the Commission may have. Mr. Carney asked if this relates to mopeds. Mr. Schmidt sta ted this ordinance does not relate to mopeds and disagrees with Mr. Dorling’s reading of the current ordinance and stated he does not believe it prohibits rental of motorized vehicles. The current definition of bicycle includes mopeds so by updating to the later item to adopt the current statutory definition of bicycles. One Statut e also has separate definition for mopeds. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Or dinance No. 36-11, the public hearing was closed. Albert Richwagen, 48 year Delray native and bike shop owner, stated this business that has initiated this change of use has been doing i llegal business for over a year. Mr. Richwagen stated they have not complied with any City laws, they have illegal signage and are doing Segway tours without a license. Mr. Richwagen stated if they want to operate a business as such they should go under the cur rent guidelines which are be in the automotive area or be where the motorcycle shops are in the allowed use or as he did buy a pre-existing automotive use so that they can do what they want to do. 18 10/04/11 Dr. Alperin stated he does not consider a Segway a bicycle but it has two wheels and is an electric driven machine. Mr. Dorling stated this amendment does not apply to Segways. Dr. Alperin stated an electric car is a totally different thing than a gas car as far as maintenance, etc. and what kind of shop requirements there are to maintain this needs to be looked at as well when considering this. Mayor McDuffie concurs with comments expressed by Dr. Alperin. For the record, Mr. Frankel stated he understands all the differe nt groups that looked at it did approve it. Mr. Frankel stated Al Jacquet of t he Planning and Zoning Board had stated he does not know if this is consistent with the visi on of the city. Mr. Frankel stated this is something he struggled with when the Commi ssion discussed the Segways and whether or not we want to turn this into another Key West. Mr. Frankel concurs with the Mayor’s recommendation to pass this ordinance tonight to get it to second reading but he would also like the additional information that was brought up. Mr. Carney stated some good issues were raised about how the Se gways will be maintained. Dr. Alperin moved to adopt Ordinance No. 36-11 on First Reading/First Public Hearing, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Comm ission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Y es; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.B.

Mr. Aronson stated the City also proposed a .25 per hour increas e on the meter fees from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. Andy Katz, speaking on behalf of the Beach Property Owners Association, stated Delray Beach is a very popular destination and compare d to other cities Delray Beach offers more amenities such as showers , bathrooms, food, lounges, fountains, etc., have the convenience of parallel parking on A-1-A, patrolled beaches, have the unique proximity to downtown, and are relatively cheap compa red to other cities. Mr. Katz stated he does not feel it is unreasonable f or the meter fees to increase from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour and from the beach area perspective they woul d like to see some of the additional money collected be used to fund the Beach Area Master Plan. He stated with regard to enforcement very early in the morning they do not have the beach crowds. Mr. Katz suggested that there be enforcement along At lantic Avenue at 9:30/10:00 a.m. but not along A-1-A. He stated when the beach crowd arrive s especially on the weekends and during season there are illegal parking issues on Venetian, Casuarina and Gleason and stated they would like to see some of the enforcement they can save before 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. be used to take care of the illega l parking issues in other areas of the beach. Christina Morrison, 2809 Florida Boulevard #207, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated she too believes that $1.50 is very reasonable when comparin g to competing towns. She suggested increasing the time limit from 2 hours to 3 or 4 hours. Ms. Morrison suggested that the meters to be able to take parking cards and credit cards and make them easily available for people to buy. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 34-11, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Frankel inquired if the senior permit is going to be for a one year period not the six months as initially discussed. Mr. Aronson stated it was suggested it be an off season and it was determined that it would not be an overburden so the senior 21 10/04/11 permit is going to be year-round. Mrs. Gray asked how someone would be able to identify the senior permits. Mr. Aronson stated staff has taken the last 100 because the permits are numbered and these will be dedicated to the Senior Program and s taff will be placing a small distinguishing mark on those permits to identify it as a senior permi t. Mr. Aronson clarified that the parallel parking on A-1-A is 4 hours and Atlantic Avenue is 2 hours in the business district and stated the S martcard can be purchased in the Utility Billing Department for $5.00 and can be r echarged at any of the multi-space parking meters on the beach. Mr. Frankel moved to adopt Ordinance No. 34-11 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.D.

CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM, INC.: Consider approval of a conditional use request to allow conversion of an existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residenti al structure at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to a church for Eglise De Dieu Pri mitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem, Inc., with an associated off-site parking lot located on the west side of N.W. 6 th Avenue, approximately 165 feet south of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive . (Quasi- Judicial Hearing) Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex par te communications. Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Attorney Michael Weiner about this issue earlier today. Mrs. Gray stated he spoke to staff about this issue a couple of months ago and two of the Pastors. Mayor McDuffie stated he spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner who acknowledged to him that it was on the agenda and he would be speaking on it. Mr. Carney stated he too spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner and spoke to Mr. Dorling last week briefly as an agenda item but did not get into any de tails. Dr. Alperin stated he spoke to Attorney Michael Weiner this morning. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2011-129 into the record. Mr. Dorling stated one item relates to a conditional use approva l to establish a church and then a second one relates to a waiver to dis tance for an off-site parking lot. The church building which was an existing duplex is p roposed and an off- site parking lot is proposed in the vicinity where these are currently vacant. He stated there is a maximum requirement of 300 square foot between an off-s ite parking lot and the use. Mr. Dorling stated this is a conditional use to convert a 3,335 square foot duplex structure to a church at 614 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The chur ch has a congregation of about 50-80 members and it currently rents a church b uilding for weekly services at 414 S.W. 3 rd Street. The church would have three main services on Friday evening between 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Creole classes will be offered for those par ishioners who cannot read the Creole Bible. This training service will be offere d two days a week for two hours a day and the church functions common with places of religious ass embly such as church bazaars, fundraisers, and various activities around the holidays. Mr. Dorling stated this facility is in the R-1-A zoning district and is al lowed as a conditional use because each site is unique and in some cases it is appropriat e and in some cases it is not. He stated this site has some challenges as it relates to c ompatibility and those concerns have been identified in the staff report and for that and other reasons it is not a use that should be allowed to go into this building. He stated LDR Section 3.1.1(D) requires compliance with LDRs and the parking lot does not meet the maximum spacing and it also does not meet consistency requirements of 3.1.1(C) with Objective s and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff feels this is incompatible wit h the adjacent properties because there will be noise issues as it relates to this. Mr. Dorling stated there is also a 25 10/04/11 discussion in the staff report as it relates to fulfilling re maining land use needs. There is twelve (12) churches within a one mile radius with many of them the same congregation. Staff feels although this is minor it still does not meet that Future Land Use objective. He stated required findings under LDR Section 2.4.5(E) also go to compatibi lity. Mr. Dorling stated it requires that you establish a conditional use and it will not have a significantly detrimental effect upon the stability of the ne ighborhood within it is located nor will it hinder development or redevelopment of the nearby properties. At its meeting of July 18, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the conditional use request and recommended denial of the condit ional use and the waiver. At its meeting of July 14, 2011, the Community Redevelo pment Agency (CRA) and the Planning and Zoning Board had concerns with the potential negative impacts on abutting residential properties as well as traf fic impact with respect to stacking and parking along the adjacent rights-of-way. Staff recomm ends denial. Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1 st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (representing the applicant), stated about 4:45 p.m. the neighboring property owner in the church reached an agreement on an easement and it eliminates the requirement for the waiver and allows the peo ple to walk internally very few feet from the church to the parking lot. Mr. Weiner brief ly spoke on the conditional use because the waiver is no longer necessary and thus will be withdrawn. Mr. Weiner stated the church already owns the structure and they were advi sed about the City’s zoning code that states you can have a church use in a residential a rea. He stated Chapter 3 has four sub-elements: (1) Future Land Use Map designation, (2) a concurrency, (3) a consistency, and (4) a compliance with the LDRs. Mr. Weiner stat ed that includes compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and there is a second requir ement that has two sub-categories LDR Section 2.4.5 and first is that the use will not be significantly detrimental and the second is it will not hinder development or re development. He stated staff tries to add more about the noise and other Code Enforcement issues in the area. Mr. Weiner stated they are an R-1-A zoning and LD (Low Density R esidential 0-5 dwelling units per acre) land use designation and are allowed to be a condi tional use. Mr. Weiner stated the Comprehensive Plan and LDRs indicate that ther e is no restriction for limiting policy on churches, other houses of worship, or the free ex ercise of religion. He stated the staff report states that there are already 12 churches within a one mile radius of the site. Mr. Weiner stated one more church is not a significant change to this neighborhood. He stated the staff report makes reference to noi se and traffic but there is no reason to believe that noise and traffic actually occurs. Mr . Weiner briefly spoke about the setback requirements and reviewed the site plans. He stated effective September 22, 2000, they signed into Federal Law the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and there is also the Fl orida Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the general rule is “that no government shall impose or implement the land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial b urden on the religious exercise on a person including a religious assembly unless the government can demonstrate that the imposition of the burden on that person is in furt herance of a compelling governmental interest.” Mr. Weiner stated before he represented the applicant they purchased this land and they made significant stri des to try to improve the 26 10/04/11 position of the church and what it is they want to do in the neighborhood and area. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone else from public would li ke to speak in favor or in opposition of the conditional use request, to please come forward at this time. Reginald Cox, 715 N.W. 2 nd Street (a/k/a Drive) Delray Beach, representing Paradise Heights Neighborhood Association, stated three terms that were heard earlier this evening were (1) common sense, (2) powerful imp act, and (3) use of the Advisory Boards that the Commission depends on and put into place. Mr. Cox read a brief statement into the record from the Paradise Heights Ne ighborhood Homeowners’ Association. He stated the Paradise Heights HOA would like to s ee the property remain the residential designation. Pastor Harry, one of the Pastors of the church, briefly discussed the architects of the church. Barbara Shuler, resident of Delray Beach, supports the conditional use request and stated she has spoken to several people who live in the Paradise Heights neighborhood and asked how many people were present at the meet ing, who held the meeting, and how did they inform the neighbors. Mrs. Shuler stated s he is close to the neighbors who live to the west and when they heard about the church the y asked her to look into the situation. Mrs. Shuler stated she met with several me mbers of the church and they agreed to allow the church to exist next to their home. S he stated the church needed an easement at the back of the church property which would a llow the people to park in that lot behind the church and walk right into the church. Mrs. Shuler urged the Commission to approve the conditional use request and stated many of people who attend the church live in that neighborhood. Greg Deneus, 126 N.W. 6 th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (resides next to the parking lot in Paradise Heights), stated he is not aware of what Mr. Cox is speaking about. Mr. Deneus stated this building used to be an as sisted living for mental health and they demolished it. He stated he would rather live among 50 churches than live next to a bar or a sober house. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the conditional use request, the public hearing was c losed. Mr. Dorling stated the setback issue is critical as it re lates to this use as being compatible. He stated this unit was built within ten fe et in an R-1-A zoning district which does allow it as a conditional use but there are structures within this zoning district which are more compatible for this type of use. Mr. Dorling s tated required findings need to be made under Section 2.4.5(E) and they are not met and noted that this will have a detrimental effect upon the stability of the neighborhood bec ause of noise issues with late night worshiping this close to adjacent residential str uctures. Mr. Dorling stated with regard to the Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan p articularly Future Land Use Element that states properties shall be developed or redeveloped complimentary to 27 10/04/11 adjacent land uses. He stated this structure for a commercial use is not going to be complimentary to adjacent residential uses. Mr. Dorling state d the findings are made in the staff report and recommends denial of the request. Mr. Weiner stated there is nothing in the ordinances of what per centage of a block should be devoted to churches. He stated drainage will be be tter because they are increasing the open space. Mr. Weiner stated Section 2.4.7(B) has to do with waivers and they no longer need the waiver. He stated they are going to have on-site parking as a result of the easement. Mr. Weiner stated in 2005 the City Commi ssion approved a church three times this size. He stated an extra ten feet i n setback is not going to make a difference with respect to sound. Mr. Weiner stated there may be some site plan things they can do that will minimize the possible impact that has b een suggested by the Planning and Zoning Department. Dr. Alperin stated the issue is whether this meets the requir ements of Section 2.4.5 and noted that when he served on the Commission previously he f elt the City was setting a precedent and that we were going to end up with churches every 500 feet. He stated there are now multiple churches on the same lot s and feels this does has an impact on the neighborhood and he cannot support it for that reason. Mr. Carney made reference to Mr. Weiner’s comments and reite rated that this is a conditional use and we do have some mechanisms at our disposa l to mitigate certain issues that have been raised such as noise; the parking issue can be addressed and he is confident that the church members are going to be parking on the off-sit e parking lot and noted it is a Code Enforcement issue if they do not park there. Mr. Carney stated he will support this providing that conditions can be put in place tha t would mitigate some of the concerns. He suggested that the hours be addressed regarding t he start time. Mr. Carney stated he supports this provided some of these other conditions can be addressed in the final approval. Mrs. Gray stated she lives and attends one of the churches in this community. However, she expressed concern about the neighbors and sp oke to some people who are not in support of it because they live right next door within that block. Mrs. Gray stated with regard to the parking lot on the back si de there is no guarantee that people are going to just stay on that property. She stated s he has a business and a parking lot and people walk through her parking lot to get to the CRA par king lot. Mrs. Gray stated this is a very tight spot and does not think a church needs t o be in-between two residences. She stated they are going to have rehearsals and i t will be used more than the three services and expressed concern with the church being in this spot. Brief discussion between Mrs. Gray and Mr. Weiner continued regar ding the easement. Mr. Frankel stated he agrees with the CRA, Planning and Zoning, a nd staff to deny the conditional use request. 28 10/04/11 Mayor McDuffie stated when he was in his 20’s he signed a loan t o build a church in a residential neighborhood and one of the things that was p art of the building of the structure was the sound proofing of the structure. He st ated it is possible to mitigate the sound. Mayor McDuffie stated the times are not bot hersome to him because most everything is done by the time anyone would be going to bed. Mayor McDuffie stated he has no issues with the parking and the easement elimi nates one of the problems with it. He stated if people are not allowed to park in the s wales then then the City needs to take action and solve the problem. Mayor McDuffie supports the church in this location. Mr. Carney asked if someone bought this now could they put 10 residential units there. Mr. Dorling stated they could not because it is R -1-A and allows a duplex and single family only. Mr. Carney moved to table this to the next meeting. Motion to ta ble failed due to a lack of a second. Mr. Carney moved to table to give the applicant and staff an op portunity to work out some of the concerns if possible that was raised tonight , Mayor McDuffie passed the gavel to the Vice Mayor and seconded that motion. Upo n roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – No; Mrs. Gray – No; Ma yor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – No. Said motion was DENIED with a 3 to 2 vote, Commissioner Carney and Mayor McDuffie dissenting. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the C ommission who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes). Dr. Alperin moved to adopt the Board Order (denying the conditiona l use), seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – No; Mr. Ca rney – No; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion to adopt the Board Order denying the conditional use request was approved with a 3 to 2 vote, Mayor McDuffie and Commissioner Carney dissenting. 9.C.1. WAIVER REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM, INC.: Consider a waiver request to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.6.9.E.5 (a) (1), “Off Site Parking”, to inc rease the maximum acceptable pedestrian path distance to three hundred twe nty-two feet (322’) for an off-site parking lot for Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church located at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) This item has been withdrawn by the applicant. 29 10/04/11 9.D. GARAGE PARKING SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT/GLOBAL PARKING SOLUTIONS: Consider approval of a parking license agreement with Global Parking Solutions for the utilization of 40 parking spaces in t he Federspiel Garage seven (7) days per week between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. at a rate of $40.00 per space, per month. Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated Global Parki ng Solutions is a parking company that provides valet services. The valet queue for Prime Steakhouse located at 110 East Atlantic Avenue is one of the excepti ons to the Valet Parking License Agreement in that the City leases parking s paces in the Federspiel Garage and the reason for that is the 110 East Atlantic Avenue buildi ng owned a 50 car parking lot that was on the property that Worthing Place now sit s. He stated those 50 spaces were eliminated from the valets use who used them all t hose years for that valet queue. At its meeting of September 12, 2011, the City Commission ente red into a Parking License Agreement with Boca Parking Systems, Inc. (BPS) for use of 40 parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage and this was approved. The S outh Florida Parking Systems who formerly ran the valet is no longer operating that valet for Prime Steakhouse and Global is looking for approval to assume that lease f or the 40 spaces. Mr. Aronson stated it is $40.00 per month per space for a total of $1,600.00 per month. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Carney stated he would like to see a little a better price being charged for the valet queues and feels the City can get more than $40.00 per month. Mr. Frankel concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Carney. Mrs. Gray concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Carney as well. Dr. Alperin asked how many parking spaces are there in the Fe derspiel Garage. Mr. Aronson stated there are a total of 202; 55 full time, 40 part-time spaces and the rest of the spaces are public spaces and remain availa ble. Dr. Alperin inquired about the rates. Mr. Aronson stated the modifications to the Valet Parki ng License Agreement cap the fee at $10.00 per car and we allow an overtime fee if c ustomers stay more than 4 hours they can charge an extra $5.00 and for that they have to have a t ime clock and time punch the tickets in and out. In his opinion, Mayor McDuffie stated it is problematic to c hange this tonight but he feels the next time staff reviews fees this fee needs to be raised. Dr. Alperin asked how long this contract is for. The City Mana ger stated it expires March 31, 2012 but they automatically renew. Mr. Frankel suggested that the City Commission either at a W orkshop or another meeting review the valet operators and determine if the price is appropriate. Mr. Carney stated he does not like automatic renew language a nd feels that each contract has to be individually reviewed. 30 10/04/11 Dr. Alperin moved to approve the Parking License Agreement conti ngent that it expires on March 31, 2012, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes ; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.E.

COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. 13.A. City Manager The City Manager stated Mr. Carney mentioned that someone raise d the issue that they had written to Utility Billing Department to r eceive their bill by email and they were receiving them by email but also received a dupli cate in the mail. The City Manager stated the City’s present software does not allow the City to issue statements by email. He stated if someone arranges for it we will manuall y scan it and email it to them but the system is still generating the print out. The City M anager stated this is one of the things that will change when the City receives its new software. 33 10/04/11 Secondly, the City Manager stated with regard to the Palm Beac h County League of Cities Valentin Rodriguez, Commissioner from Lake Cla rke Shores, was reappointed to the Criminal Justice Commission to represent the L eague and Joann Brinkman from Lake Park was reappointed to the Land Development R egulation Advisory Board. Lastly, the City Manager stated there was a case in Browa rd County imposing term limits on County Commissioners and that was upheld at the trial court, overturned at the appeals court, and was currently on appeal to the Su preme Court so it is not resolved. There will be a meeting on November 2, 2011 between the County Commission, the League of Cities, and the School Board to discuss i ssues of mutual interest. The Florida League of Cities Legislative Action Day this year will be on January 25, 2012. 13.B. City Attorney The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items. 13.C. City Commission 13.C.1. Dr. Alperin Dr. Alperin stated he attended the Education Board Meeting and was impressed with their enthusiasm. Secondly, Dr. Alperin stated he will be on vacation the first we ek of November. 13.C.2. Mr. Carney Mr. Carney stated he supported the ordinance with the raising of t he parking rates and did not support it the first time around because he wanted to make a point about enforcement. Mr. Carney stated at the last meeti ng Mr. Katz and Ms. Morrison Pearce spoke for this point regarding the enforcement i ssue. Mr. Carney stated typically at 9:30 am during the week these are Delray resi dents that are going to places and he does not feel they should have to pay for parking. Mr. Carney s uggested that this be extended to A-1-A. Secondly, Mr. Carney stated he raised the issue with the City M anager related to a sign which has appeared on A-1-A at the end of At lantic Avenue regarding Boston’s Hotel and reportedly it is part of the program with the Department of Transportation where these signs are supposed to be at intersta tes. Mr. Carney stated this is three miles east of that interchange and all it is doing now is promoting one business over others. Mr. Carney stated he has asked the City to find out why that sign was placed there and for its speedy removal because it is not in concert with the Beach Area Master 34 10/04/11 Plan which is trying to eliminate signage except for signs for Public Information or disaster. 13.C.3. Mrs. Gray Mrs. Gray announced that Saturday, October 15, 2011, Delray Beach i s having its first Net Ball Tournament and invited everyone to attend. 13.C.4. Mr. Frankel Mr. Frankel stated the Election date for the republican candi dates has been moved up and suggested that the Commission discuss whether it would be appropriate to move up the City’s Municipal Election as a cost savings if t he City wanted to hold it at the same time. The City Clerk stated because the City’s C harter specifically says it is the second Tuesday in March of every year the only way the City woul d be able to move it is if they agree to move it to January 31 st . However, the City Clerk stated the viable reason to move it would be whether or not the Supervisor or Elections would be able to have the equipment and everything in place by that time. The City Manage r stated City’s Charter would have to be amended in order to move the Election unless there is a special circumstance. Secondly, Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Maria Herrera last week and she brought up the subject about the ordinances that the City Attor ney’s office and many people worked so hard on with regard to the sober houses and the unrelated people. Mr. Frankel stated Ms. Herrera stated that City officials have not levied any fines or found any violations since July 2009. The City Manager stated he has as ked Code Enforcement to research this because there was a lot of activity initia lly when the ordinances were passed and some of the problem places went away. The City Manager stated there has also been activity in the Planning and Zoning Department with peo ple coming in wanting to start a sober house but have been told they cannot do it here b ut have to go elsewhere. The City Manager stated it is definitely having an impact but he will find out more about the complaints the City has received and what has been done with it. Lastly, Mr. Frankel stated last week was the Jewish New Year. 13.C.5. Mayor McDuffie Mayor McDuffie stated he sat in the rain in Ohio and did not see the sun for five days.

Taken across the Atlantic to a women’s physical education college, Netball was first played in England in 1895. This form of basketball was taken from Britain to the countries then forming part of it s empire where the game transformed into a fast passing, no dribbling game, restricted playing area ultimate team game called… Netball!

Netball is one of the most popular women’s sport in the world, with over 20 million players from school to adult leagues. Although popular with women netball has seen an increase in male players within the past ten years. Netball is a fast, skillful team game based on running, jumping, throwing & catching. It is played by two teams, and each team consists of seven players - two shooters, two defense & three center court players. Each player has a playing position determined by the areas on the court where they may move. The playing positions are shown by identification letters worn above the waist, on both front and back of the player. Those positions are GS, GA, WA, C, WD, GD & GK. The main aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within an area called the Goal Circle, which is a semicircle centered on the goal line & measuring 16 feet in radius. Only GS & GA from each team may score goals. Goals are scored through a hoop resembling a basketball hoop but without the backboard. Each goal scores one point. The netball moves up & down the court by catching & throwing it to other team members. Dribbling & moving with the ball is not allowed. What is Netball? Netball - Basic Rules Players cannot dribble but they may bounce the ball once to gain possession. No running with the ball , players may not re ground the foot which first touches the court (landing foot). Players must pass the ball to someone else within three seconds of catching it. No contact. Players may not take the ball out of another player’s hands, push, push off, or shove other players. No defending within 3 feet of the player with the ball. This is measured from the landing foot. Players can only shoot within the shooting circle , a 16-foot radius semicircle at each end of the court, and these players are GS or GA. Each goal scores one point. The ball must be touched in each third as it travels down the court. Netball Playing Positions Each position has a main role to play: GS (Goal Shooter) - to score goals & work in & around the goal circle with the GA GA (Goal Attack) - to feed & work with GS & to score goals WA (Wing Attack) - to feed the goal circle players giving them shooting opportunities C (Center) - to take the center pass & to control game flow between attack & defense WD (Wing Defense) - to look for interceptions & to prevent the WA from feeding the goal circle players GD (Goal Defense) - to win the ball & reduce the effectiveness of the GA GK (Goal Keeper) - to work with the GD to prevent the GS from scoring goals The Netball Court Each playing position has a specific court area.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Lula Butler, Director, Community Improvement THROUGH:David Harden, City Manager DATE:October 12, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.F. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 HOUSING REHABILITATION GRANT/CONTRACT AWARD/316 N.W. 6TH AVENU E ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilit ation grant(s) to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $28,090.46. Fund ing for the projects is through the CDBG and RCMP Housing Rehabilitation and grant. BACKGROUND Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilit ation grant(s) to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for the following projects: 316 NW 6 th Avenue/Raymond Graeve & Sons Cons, Inc./$27,216=To tal Rehab cost: $28,090.46 Grant awards are based on the actual cost of the re habilitation, as determined by the low responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. Total rehab cost also includes lead inspection, lead abatement, lead clearance, termite inspection, termite treatment, a nd recording fees, if applicable. Additional cost m ay be incurred for lead clearance test(s). The conting ency may be used for change orders and all unused funds will remain with the CDBG and RCMP Housing Re habilitation program. Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement’s Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services Divisions. Contracts are executed between the build ing contractor and the property owner. The City remains the agent and this office monitors all work performed by the contractor, ensuring compliance according to specifications and program guidelines. Pay request forms require both contractor and homeowner’s signatures. Grant recipients have met all eligibi lity requirements as specified in the approved Policies and Procedures. The rehabilitatio n activities will bring the homes to minimum code requirements by repairing the roof, electric and pl umbing systems and correcting other incipient code violations. Detailed work write-ups and individual case files are available for rev iew in the Neighborhood Services Division Office. The Neighborhood Services Division is responsible f or ensuring that the housing rehabilitation contrac ts are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, as a r esult of a formal bid process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest re sponsive bidder as it relates to the Division’s professional in-house estimate. This serves to disqualify unreasona bly low bids and therefore, protect against the resulting change order requests. Mr. Bowers is a City employee that has applied for assistance through the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Programs. Mr. Bowers has been qualified for eligibi lity through the same process applicable to all applicants and will receive the same benefits avail able to all eligible applicants under the City program. A letter was received from HUD dated Septe mber approving the Wavier of Employee Conflict of Interest for Mr. Bowers. The Palm Beach County C ommission on Ethics issued an opinion on a similar matter dated July 25, 2011 which allowed em ployee participation in the County NSP program as outlined in the attached letter. The City also plac ed an advertisement of Notice of Employee Participation in the August 6, 2011, Palm Beach Pos t.

Pricing firm for on e (1) year with a two (2) year renewal option. BACKGROUND For 2010/11 fiscal year the City Commission approve d the purchase of liquid carbon dioxide from Praxair, Inc. via the City of West Palm Beach bid A greement at $194.74 per ton as needed. On June 8, 2011 Praxair notified the City that they will only be able to provide 50% of the current required supply and Commission approved Airgas for delivery of CO 2. Prior to the award to Airgas, staff had also contacted Air Liquide America who wa s unable to supplement our supply at that time and their price was higher as well . As of September 2011 the City has not received an y update from Praxair and the Water Treatment staff would like to continu e with Airgas for purchase of this product. Carbon dioxide is essential to the water treatment process. The water from the wells has a pH in the mid-7 range. Lime is added to raise the pH to 10.2 whi ch is the point where calcium precipitates out for the softening process. After the lime softening pr ocess, carbon dioxide is added to bring the pH back to a mid-7 range for the finished water product. If we were to reduce the carbon dioxide dosage, the finished water would have a higher pH. After extensive Lead and Copper testing, we have found th at we get the best results with a pH of 7.5 in the distribution system. It is best to continue using the current amount of carbon dioxide for this reaso n. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 441-5122-536-52.21 (Water and Sewer Fund: Operating Supplies/Chemicals). RECOMMENDATION The Water Treatment Plant recommends a blanket purc hase order in the amount of $107,000. to Airgas for purchase and delivery of Liquid Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) to be ordered “as needed” per proposal dated 08/29/2011.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Victor Majtenyi; Deputy Director of Public Uti lities Richard C. Hasko; Director of Environmental Service s Department THROUGH:David Harden; City Manager DATE:October 11, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.M.7 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/ THE DUMONT COMPANY, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request City Commission approve a blanket purchase order in the amount of $51,200 to The Dumont Company, Inc. The award is for Fiscal Year 2011/201 2 for the purchase and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite on an “as needed” basis to remote boos ter station locations. BACKGROUND Sodium hypochlorite is used as a disinfectant/antim icrobial agent. Currently the City purchases this product from Sentry Industries in bulk tanker loads for other locations. Remote locations in Gulfstre am, Owens Baker, and other booster station sites are li mited to small quantities between 500 gallons and 1,000 gallons and cannot accommodate a tanker size truck of 12,000 gallons due to truck inaccessibility. Minimum delivery for this product is 1,000 gallon f or most vendors, which is considered a small order (or mini-bulk) for delivery. Two vendors can accommodate de liveries in smaller size quantities, from 250 and 1,000 gallons; Poolsure of South Florida at $1.35 per gallon (quote dated October 3, 2011) and Dumont at $1.25 per gallon (quote dated October 5, 2011). The estimated usage for this year is 40,000 gallons with an award requested at $51,200; the amount approved in the division’s operating budget for FY 11/12. FUNDING SOURCE Funding will from account 441-5123-536.52-21, Water Distribution/ Operating Supplies-Chemicals. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends a blanket purchase order for the p urchase of Sodium Hypochlorite “as needed” from The Dumont Company, Inc. at a unit cost of $1.25 pe r gallon, for an estimated annual cost of $51,200.00. The Dumont Company, Inc. – 381 S. Central Ave., Ovi edo, FL 32765 800-330-1369 FAX: 800-524-9315 1 October 5, 2011 City of Delray Beach 434 S. Swinton Ave. Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Dear Mr. Solomon: Mr. Solomon, In regards to the sodium hypochlorite used at the re-pump and booster stations. Dum ont offers Odyssey’s Ultra Chlor product which is known for its high strength and cl arity. Dumont offers the 12.5% Ultra Chlor in mini-bulk from 250 to 1000 gallon deliveries. The product is produced from the purest ingredients and has virtually no metal contaminants or suspended solids. In most cases, iron, nickel, copper, and other heavy metal ions that catalyze bleach decomposition are below detectable le vels. The Ultra Chlor is manufactured according to American Water Works Associa tion B300- 04 Standard for Hypochlorites at 12.5 trade percent available chlorine. There ar e other hypochlorite concentrations listed in the B-300 standard, but 12.5 percent delivers the best economy and performance for the Florida market. Sodium hypochlorite degra des with age. Certain formula variables and conditions during storage and manufacturi ng determine the stability of a hypochlorite product. The Odyssey proc ess maximizes shelf life for all of the variables under our control. As illustrated in the Table bel ow, Florida storage temperatures are simply not compatible with the higher B-300 hy pochlorite concentrations. The issue is not simply one of lost product and higher usage. Of great er concern are the sodium chlorate and oxygen produced in the decomposition reaction. 12.5% has a thirty-day shelf life under a variety of storage conditions and genera tes little or no oxygen and/or chlorate. The Ultra Chlor is ANSI / NSF Standard 60 certified and meets all repacking certifications to maintain the certification. The Dumont Company, Inc. – 381 S. Central Ave., Ovi edo, FL 32765 800-330-1369 FAX: 800-524-9315 2 Dumont provides services that are second to none in the water and wastewater tre atment industry. Dumont provides each system with an account manager, warehouse manager , operations manager and a delivery driver. This team works to ensure that all del iveries are scheduled and made on time. This team will set up a delivery process ba sed on a route, call-in basis or call-you basis (this is where a route scheduler calls you to confirm which locations need product). Dumont also provides a 24 hour 7 day service in case of an emergency situation. We understand that you currently have your own tanks and containments at each location at this time, if ever in the future one of the tanks fai l Dumont provides tanks and containments at no charge to its customers. (See attachme nt for ANSI/NSF Standard 60) We can provide the 12.5 % Sodium Hypochlorite at $1.25 per gallon. Upon acceptance of the sodium hypochlorite offer, Dumont can offer pallets of the 100# HTH used by the lift station crew for $130.00 per 100# pails. Each pallet has 16 100# pails which Dumont would delivery to your warehouse, making the total per palle t $2080.00. Another option is for Dumont to deliver a four (4) minimum per order for $140 per pail (or $560.00 for four) from Dumont’s Hollywood warehouse as needed with a five to seven day delivery schedule. We look forward to working with you in the near future, if you have any questions pleas e contact me. Best Regards Kenny Williams Technical Development Manager The Dumont Co., Inc. 381 S.

Harden, City Manager DATE:October 13, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.M.8 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/CDW -G/EMERGENCY VEHICLE SUPPLY (EVS) ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests approval to purchase and install 68 In-Car video systems in police vehicles. The cameras will be purchased on a Federa l GSA contract from CDW-G at a price of $5,101.08 each for a total purchase price of $346,8 73.44. The installation will be completed by EVS at a cost of $345 each for a total amount of $23,460. BACKGROUND This equipment will be used daily during routine tr affic enforcement and community patrols. It has the ability to secure solid evidence for criminal prose cution, real time recording of events, and enhanced officer safety. It also reduces the likelihood of c ivil liability claims. Currently the Department onl y has ten (10) such cameras deployed. Over the past coupl e of years, the purchase of additional cameras has been deferred due to funding limitations. Purchase of the 68 requested here will allow the Department to fully equip all of the take home Patrol vehicles as well as those vehicles used in high-risk situation s. In- car video cameras have become an industry standard, and without them, our Department is falling behind. The cost of the cameras with CDW- G is under a GSA contract (#GS-35F-0143R). EVS is the vendor of choice for the installation; t hey been selected as the Department’s vendor for work on police vehicles. This selection was made based o n a variety of factors including: quality of work, price, and speed/efficiency of service. Prior to th is shift, multiple vendors worked on the vehicles. Due to the volume and complexity of equipment, a variet y of issues arose, including blame shifting between vendors. Consolidating the work with one vendor eli minated that problem, reduced equipment costs, and reduced staffing costs required to transport ea ch vehicle to multiple locations, as well as reduci ng down time for vehicles. FUNDING SOURCE Funding in the amount of $156,000 has been approved in this year’s CIP (#334-2111-521-64.90, project # 12-046). The remainder of the funding, $214,333.4 4, will come from the Department’s Federal Forfeiture account (#115-2112-521-64.90). RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval.

BACKGROUND The applicant has submitted tour route maps that in dicate the tours will be operated solely on the bar rier island and extend primarily south of Atlantic Avenu e. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The required training o f customers is proposed within the parking area on the north side of the plaza. Further, the floor plan indicates that the repair of these devices wil l occur within the interior of the tenant space. At its meeting of September 19, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the conditional use request for The Electric Experience and recommended approval (6-1, Spodak opposed) to the City Commission. However, the Planning and Zoning Board did express concerns with homeowner privacy with respect to the tour segments through neighborh oods particularly along East Road and Vista Del Mar Drive. Further, as Segways are not allowed on Atlantic Avenue there was concern over short segments that were proposed along Atlantic Avenue e ven though the applicant indicated the devices are walked in those areas of Atlantic Avenue. The Board was also concerned that the businesses that utiliz e the parking area along the north side of the site b e notified of the proposed use and that training is proposed within this parking lot. The applicant has provided notice to the affected business regarding the proposed use and training within the parking ar ea (see attached letter and list of property owners ). In response to the Planning and Zoning Board’s concerns, the applicant has submitted a revised t our route map that has eliminated the East Road and Vista Del Mar Drive segments and added a note that indicates that the devices will be walked within At lantic Avenue. Since the applicant has notified the affected business owners and revised the tour route map, the two conditions of approval recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board dealing with these items have been deleted. Additional background and an analysis of the Condit ional Use request are found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report. REVIEW BY OTHERS Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA): At its meeting of September 8, 2011, the CRA review ed the conditional use request and recommended approval Downtown Development Authority: At its meeting of September 12, 2011, the DDA revie wed the conditional use request and recommended approval. RECOMMENDATION Move a recommendation of approval of the conditiona l use request to allow a Segway Tours and Segway Sales for The Electric Experience , by adopting the findings of fact and law containe d in the staff report, and finding that the request, and app roval thereof, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5 (E)(5) and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations, subject to the following conditions: 1. That a note be added to the plans that indicate tha t the parking area will be accessible at all times for the use it was intended (i.e. vehicle parking). 2. That the business is limited to no more tha n nine tours each day. 3. That the tour guides are prohibited from am plifying voice or music while operating tours. 4. That tours will be conducted in compliance with Cha pter 132.10(c) of the City Code of Ordinances. 5. That the Segways be walked across Atlantic Avenue. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A SEGWAY TOUR AND SALES FACILITY KNOWN AS THE ELECTRIC EXPERIENCE 1.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Estelio Breto, Senior Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:October 3, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.B. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 WAIVER REQUESTS/BOUERI MIXED -USE BUILDING ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a total of six waivers: two waiver request to Land Development Regulation (LDR) Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4) regarding the require d building frontage and front setback along SE 1st Avenue and along SE 1st Street; one waiver request to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2), to reduce the required 75% transparency surface to 49% for the bu ilding elevation along SE 1st Avenue and to 43% for the building elevation along the SE 1st Street l; one waiver request to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(3) to reduce the required corner clip at the intersection of SE 1st Street and SE 1st Avenue from 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11”; and two waiver requests to LDR Section 6.1.3(B) to reduce the required 8’ wide sidewalk along SE 1st Avenue and SE 1st Street to 5 ’ all in association with the Boueri Mixed Use development. BACKGROUND The following waivers are requested in association with the Boueri Mixed Use development: Waiver #1: Along SE 1 st Avenue: For a height from finished grade to 25 ’: A Waiver request to LDR Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4) [Design Development Standards]: - To allow an increase in the required building fr ontage setback at 10’ or less from a minimum of 64.8’ to 67’; and - To allow a decrease in the remaining length of t he building frontage setback at 15’ or more from 7.2’ to 5’; and Along SE 1 st Avenue: For a height from 25 ’ to 48 ’ - To allow a decrease in the required building fro ntage setback at 15’ minimum from 50.4’ to 31’. Waiver #2: Along SE 1 st Street: For a height from finished grade to 25 ’: A Waiver request to LDR Section 4.4.13(F) (3) and (4) [Design Development Standards]: - To allow a decrease in the required building fro ntage setback at 10’ or less from a minimum of 86.1’ to 44’; - To allow a decrease in the remaining length of t he building frontage at 15’ or more from 12.3’ to 5’. Along SE 1 st Street: For a height from 25 ’ to 48 ’ - To allow a decrease in the required building fro ntage setback at 15’ minimum from 86’ to 31’. Waiver #3: A waiver request to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2) to reduce the 75% minimum transparency or glass surface area on the ground floor architectura l elevation along SE 1 st Avenue from the required 75% to 49% and along SE 1 st Street from the required 75% to 43%. Waiver #4: A waiver request to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(3) to redu ce the required 20’ by 20’ corner clip triangle at the intersection of SE 1 st Avenue and SE 1 st Street from the required 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11” Waiver #5: A waiver request to LDR Section 6.1.3(B) to reduce the required 8’ wide side walk along SE 1 st Avenue from 8' to 5’. Waiver #6: A waiver request to LDR Section 6.1.3(B) to reduce the required width of the sidewalk in the Central Business District along SE 1 st Avenue from 8' to 5’. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to grant ing a waiver, the approving body must make a finding that granting the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area ; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Waiver #1 and Waiver #2 – Required Building Frontage and Setback: The applicant has provided the following justificat ion with regard to these two waiver requests: “The architect is fully aware and respects the sect ion of the LDR's requirements for frontage. The architect has strived to meet as clos e as possible the intent of the code with reference to SE 1 Street. The layout of the si te makes additional frontage unfeasible. The architect has designed a decorate w all to enhance the frontage while also providing screening from the parking. On the S E 1 st Avenue elevation the architect is within a few percent point of meeting all requirements and has received support for waivers from the P&Z Department. Conseq uently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(8)(5), Waiver Findings , can be made. Therefore, for the reasons enumerated above, we respectfully request t hat this waivers be approved”. Waiver #1 and #2 are minor adjustments to building setback requirements. The intent of the code is to provide a building that has architectural relief bo th at the street level as well as upper floors, and this development meets that intent. The waivers will not adversely affect neighboring properties or diminis h the provision of public facilities. The waivers wou ld also be supported under similar circumstances an d therefore will not result in the grant of a special privilege. Thus, positive findings can be made wit h respect to LDR Section 2.4.5 (B)(5). Waiver #3 - Minimum Transparency: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.18 (B)(14)(iv)(2), the minimum transparency or glass surface area on the ground floor wall area of all non-residential and m ixed-use buildings shall be a minimum of 75% of the wall area for that elevation. All storefronts or gl ass areas abutting the street shall be transparent. The building ground floor transparency along SE 1 st Avenue is 49% while 75% is required. Also, the building ground floor transparency elevation along SE 1 st Street is only 43% while 75% is required. The proposed north and west elevations for the Boueri m ixed use building do not meet the LDR requirement, and thus, the applicant has requested a waiver. In support of the waiver request the applicant has provided the following statement: “Prior approval for a similar condition has been gi ven to Chase Bank: 1010 North Federal Highway, Delray Beach, FL. The percentage o f glass surface area requested is more consistent with the massing and proportion of the design of the building(s). Tall ceiling height has been provided on the ground floor areas; this feature is also another key element for the survivability of the re tail components of the project. Based on this ceiling height, the resulting glass surface area required is excessively disproportionate to the overall building frontage. In any event, the glass surface/transparency provided is more than sufficie nt to meet the intent of the LDRs, which is to maintain a pedestrian friendly retail/o ffice environment. This project meets or exceeds the requirements of LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) for this waiver request. By granting this waiver, a superior product will be ac hieved. The waiver will not adversely affect the neighboring area, significantl y diminish the provision of public facilities, create an unsafe situation and/or resul t in the grant of a special privilege. The intent of this requirement is to assure that th e street facades remain customer friendly and encou rage pedestrian traffic and the current facades meet the intent of this requirement. Granting the requested waiver will not have an adverse effect on the neigh boring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create an unsafe situation. This wai ver would also be supported under similar circumsta nces and therefore will not result in the grant of a spe cial privilege. Consequently, a positive finding wi th respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. Waiver #4 – Required Corner Clip: Corner Clip: Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(3), a right-of-way dedication will be required at all intersections in the Central Business District (CBD ). This right-of-way dedication will consist of an area of property located at the corner formed by the int ersection of two or more public rights-of-way with two sides of the triangular area being 20 feet in l ength along the abutting public right-of-way lines. The ground floor structure of the proposed building enc roaches into the required corner clip at the intersection of SE 1 st Avenue and SE 1 st Street. Thus, the applicant has requested a waiver to reduce the required corner clip from 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11”. In support of the waiver the applicant has provided the following statement: “The property owner will provide a 12'-11" by 12'-1 1" dedication corner clip along S.E. 1 st avenue and S.E. 1 st street. We are also providing the 20'x 20' site tr iangle at this corner location. The property owner is providi ng over 7% of his site in dedications and easements. A 20' x 20' corner clip would increase that over 8% and make the project unfeasible. Thus we ask for a redu ced corner clip. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) Waiver Findings can be made. Therefore, for the reasons enumerated above, we res pectfully request that this waiver be approved”. The applicant has been required to dedicate 5’ alon g SE 1 st Avenue, plus two (2’) feet r-o-w dedication along the east alley r-o-w. To provide a triangle d edication of 20’ by 20’ corner clip will require the dedication of almost 8% of his land to the City. It is noted that a triangle dedication of a 20’ by 20 ’ corner clip will relocate the existing property lin e, and thus, compliance with the CBD design guideli nes will futher reduce the footprint of the building ma king the building economically unfeasible. The applicant is requesting a reduction of the corner c lip triangle side to 12’-11” by 12’-11”. Granting the requested waiver will not have an adverse effect on the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create and unsafe situation. This waiver would also be supported under similar circumstances and therefore will not result in the grant of a special privilege. Consequently, a posit ive finding with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. Waiver #5 and Waiver #6 – Provision of Sidewalks: Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B), an 8’ sidewalk shall be provided in the Central Business District. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow for a red uction from 8'-0" to 5’-0” wide sidewalk along SE 1 st Street and along SE 1 st Avenue. In support of the SE 1 st Street waiver request the applicant has provided the following statement: “There are already new city sidewalks recently inst alled at 4' wide along S.E. 1 st street. The owner will provide an easement to incre ase the sidewalk wide from 4' to 5' along SE 1 st Street. Increasing the sidewalk to the proposed 8' wide would prevent the site to layout efficiently. Thus, we ask you to sup port the sidewalk reduction”. In support of the SE 1 st Avenue waiver request the applicant has provided t he following statement: “The property owner will provide a new 5' concrete sidewalk along S.E. 1st Avenue. Increasing the sidewalk to the proposed 8' wide wou ld prevent the site to layout efficiently. Thus we ask you to support the sidewa lk reduction”. The Central Business District design guide lines re quire that all buildings be placed in close proximi ty to rights of way to encourage pedestrian flows and to foster a uniform streetscape with ample sidewalks. The adjacent land use intensity, pattern of develop ment, and anticipated pedestrian traffic does not warrant an 8’ wide sidewalk along SE 1 st Street or SE 1 st Avenue. Main thoroughfares in the CBD (Central Business District) such as Atlantic Avenue , Pineapple Grove Way and the Federal Highway pairs may require an 8’ wide sidewalk due to the intensity of development a nd anticipated volume of pedestrian traffic. Granting the requested waivers will not have an adverse effect on the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, or create and unsafe situation. This waiver would a lso be supported under similar circumstances and theref ore will not result in the grant of a special privi lege. Consequently, a positive finding with respect to LD R Section 2.4.7(B)(5) can be made. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) r eviewed the waiver requests at their meeting of September 14, 2011 in conjunction with review of th e proposed Boueri Mixed Use Building. After a brief discussion, the Board moved a recommendation of approval of all waivers on a unanimous vote of 6-0.

All storefronts or glass areas abutt ing the street shall be transparent, non-solar or non-mirrored, and have a li ght transmission reduction of no more than twenty percent (20%). The building g round floor transparency along SE 1 st Avenue is 49% while 75% is required.

It appears that th e ground floor structure of the building encroaches into the required corner clip at the intersection of SE 3 1 st Avenue and SE 1 st Street. Thus, the applicant has requested a waiver to reduce the required corner clip from 20’ by 20’ to 12’-11” by 12’-11”.

Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:October 13, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.C. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF THE HPB'S DECISION/85 S.E. 6TH AV ENUE/CLASS III SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is cons ideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the Class III Site Plan Modification at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon findings that the request was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and did no t meet the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. BACKGROUND At its meeting of August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank Hou se from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a n ine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail u se and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversi on of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, th e office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the co nversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expir e and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included installation of the bal ance of required spaces on site (a total of four ne w spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existin g spaces off the alley on the east side of the property). As with previous ap provals, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the approvals expired. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed ye t another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all re quired parking (6 spaces) associated with the Class III Site Plan Modification for the office space. This r equest was not supported and the appeal of both the denial of the waiver (separate Commission item) and this Class III Site Plan Modification are now before the City Commission. If the Class III Site Plan Modification is approved by City Commission, the approval should include th e following conditions: 1. That a traffic statement be provided; 2. That a current floor plan be submitted; 3. That compliance with handicap accessibility with in the office space be indicated; and, 4. That a decorative bicycle rack be provided on-si te. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waive r to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review w hen “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applica nt to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) consid ered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the i n-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Pre servation Board’s action of denial. fA W OFFICf.S WEINER & LYNNE MICHAEL S. WEINER JEFFREY C.

T he Standards (36 CFR Part 67) apply to historic buildings of all periods, styles, types, materials, and sizes. They apply to both the exterior and the interior of historic b uildings. The Standards also encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose o r be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining charac teristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retai ned and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of feat ures and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical rec ord of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of histo rical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elemen ts from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes tha t have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained a nd preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction te chniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired ra ther than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, textu re, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing fe atures shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasti ng, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surfac e cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a p roject shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the pr operty. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic inte grity of the property and its environment. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new constr uction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the es sential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unim paired. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Planning and Zoning Director THROUGH:City Manager DATE:October 13, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.C.1 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD'S DECISION/WAIVER REQUEST ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is cons ideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the waiver of required parking spaces at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon a failure to make positive findings to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2. BACKGROUND At its meeting of October 4, 2011, the City Commiss ion considered the subject appeal and tabled the item so that additional background information and clarification could be provided by Staff regarding the outstanding violations of the illegal conversio n of the garage to office use, and the Code Enforcement Board case which was resolved in 2003. The summary of the longstanding history of outstanding permits, the code case, and multiple si te plan applications submitted for HPB review is below. In researching our files, a Class V site plan was s ubmitted in 1995 for the conversion of the principa l structure (Blank House) to retail use; conversion o f the garage to office use, construction of a 9 spa ce pea rock parking area at the SW corner of the site; and additional site improvements. The request was approved by the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) o n August 16, 1995 (valid through February 1997), and it was noted that this approval was for a conve rsion that already occurred without permits, and without the provision of required parking. No site improvements were installed and the site plan approval expired in February 1997. On March 17, 200 0, a building permit application was submitted to convert the garage space to office and to construct associated site improvements (parking lot, etc.). As the original site plan approval had expired (Februa ry, 1997), a new site plan approval was required. O n December 12, 2000 a Class III site plan modificatio n was submitted for conversion of garage to two offices (already established), installation of outd oor dining and exterior staircase for the Blank Hou se, and construction of 8 asphalt parking spaces at the SW corner of lot, and 1 handicap space at the Nort h side of the lot. A building permit was submitted on December 19, 2001 (01-77442) for the conversion from garage to office and related site improvements . This permit request did not include the garage do or replacement with French doors done in 1995. On January 18, 2001, a code violation was issued (C EB-01-77906) for conducting work without a permit (changing of the garage doors to French door s). As the applicant was seeking site plan approval (per December 12, 2000 submittal) for the use conve rsion, the citation was likely limited to the physi cal work which had been accomplished without a permit. The Class III site plan modification request submitted on December 12, 2000 was approved at the HPB meeting of May 2, 2001. This site plan was not certified (conditions of approval had not been addressed) and the permit was not issued. The improvements were not constructed and the Class III approval (May, 2001) expired on November 2, 2002. As no action was taken by the applicant to ge t a permit for the conversion of the doors, a lien was levied on April 18, 2002. A new Class III site plan modification and COA (200 3-052 SPM) were submitted on November 22, 2002, which included the conversion of the garage i nto offices and associated site improvements (including parking). This was approved subject to c onditions on March 19, 2003. The Class III site pla n modification was certified on June 3, 2003, and bui lding permits were issued on August 6, 2003 (01- 77442). As the French doors were now included in the improv ements on the permit, the citation issued by the Code Enforcement Division (work constructed without a permit) was satisfied and a letter was sent to the applicant on August 15, 2003. The lien amount w as considered by Code Enforcement on October 14, 2003 and reduced. This reduced lien was paid on November 13, 2003 and the lien was closed. On December 5, 2003, a COA and Class II Site Plan M odification (COA 2004-076-SPI-CL2) was submitted. The request included an English Rose Gar den and fountain in place of the parking lot and a request to replace the 9 spaces with 6 in-lieu parking spaces. A reduction to 6 spaces from 9 was requested as the apartment conversion originally pa rt of the 1995 approval was never implemented. A revision to building permit number 01-77442 was f iled on December 29, 2003 to “change parking lot to English Rose Garden and walk path”. The permit was put on hold pending Class II site pl an approval (submitted on December 5, 2003) which was scheduled for HPB consideration on January 7, 2004. The item was tabled by HPB at this meeting due to conce rns over the elimination of the parking spaces. The HPB approved the Class II modification at its meeti ng of March 4, 2004 and recommended approval of the purchase of 6 in-lieu of parking spaces. The request for 6 in-lieu of parking spaces was reviewed by the City Com mission at 4 separate meetings with a final approval granted for the purchase of 2 in-lieu parking with 4 additional new spaces for a total of 7 spaces to be provided on site. The Class II site plan modification expired in August of 200 5, as revised plans were never submitted for certificatio n, and the in-lieu fees were never paid. As a result, the revision to permit 01-77442, submitted on December 29, 2003, was never is sued, and the permit file was closed out on July 24, 2008 due to no activity. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed ye t another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all re quired parking (6 spaces) for the office space conversion. This request was not supported and the appeal of that denial is now before the City Commission. WAIVER: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2., waivers m ay be granted by the Historic Preservation Board for relief from the number of parking spaces requir ed in Section 4.6.9 upon presentation of confirmati on that adequate parking for a proposed use may be ach ieved by alternate means which are found to be in keeping with the provisions and intent of the Delra y Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. As required above, confirmation that adequate parki ng can be achieved by alternate means has not been presented. Past site plan submittals have been appr oved which adequately provided the required amount of parking and were found to be appropriate and com patible to the historic property. Further, in 2004, additional options were approved to provide for a p ortion of the parking on-site and a portion via in- lieu. None of these options were followed up on or completed. Waiving the required parking spaces altogether will have the potential to adversely affect the neighboring area in that the required parking for t his private project will utilize public parking spa ces, thereby reducing the number of public spaces availa ble for other users. In addition to the above, it should be considered t hat while relief may be granted to the amount of required parking spaces, the intent of this “benefi t” afforded to historic properties is not to excuse th e provision of all parking but to provide alternative s. Otherwise, one could conclude that all parking o n historic properties converted to office use is not necessary. It is noted that the parking requirement currently being applied is significantly less than the curren t code requirement. To understand the intensity of the use s on the site, and what their parking requirement would be if the site were required to comply with t oday’s parking requirement, the following is noted. The required parking for each individual use would be: office-4, restaurant-13, multi-family residence - 7, for a total of 24 spaces. The mixed-use parking calculation would require that twenty (20) spaces be provided, plus the two (2) spaces eliminated from t he garage conversion to office. Utilizing the old c ode requirements requires that only nine (9) parking sp aces be provided (3 existing and 6 for the garage conversion). The current request is to legally establish the afo renoted change of use, and to completely waive the required six (6) parking spaces. The subject reques t is not supported by Staff nor has it received sup port from other reviewing Boards. If Commission finds th at the most appropriate manner in which to maintain the historic integrity of the site is to n ot physically provide any parking spaces, then Staf f recommends that the property owner be required to m ake payment of all required spaces (6) via the in- lieu of parking process. This alternative would be the fair approach given that other historic propert ies converted to commercial use have been obligated to account for their required parking through the available and appropriate options, including the in -lieu program. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waive r to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review w hen “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applica nt to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) consid ered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the i n-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Pre servation Board’s action of denial. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR 85 SE 6 TH AVENUE 1.

Harden, City Manager DATE:September 30, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.B.1 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETI NG OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HPB'S DECISION/WAIVER REQUEST ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is consideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) rejection of the waiver request on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the waiver of required parking spaces at 85 SE 6 th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon a failure to make positive findings to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2. BACKGROUND On August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank House from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a nine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail use and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversion of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, the office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (B uilding A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to e xpire and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included the installation of the balance of required spaces on site (a t otal of four new spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existing spac es off the alley on the east side of property). As with previous approva ls, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking f ees were made, and the approvals expired.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Bob Diaz, Construction Manager Richard C. Hasko, Environmental Services Director THROUGH:David T. Harden DATE:October 17, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.F. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 18, 2011 BID AWARD/RANDOLPH AND DEWDNEY CONSTRUCTION, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to consider appr oval of a bid award to Randolph and Dewdney Construction, Inc., in the total amount of $456,710 .00 for renovations to the Pompey Park Concession Stand. BACKGROUND The Pompey Park concession stand building, original ly constructed in 1974, has had only one substantial enhancement with the addition of a seco nd floor press box in 1991. The building is current ly in need of extensive renovations as a result of exp eriencing years of weathering and use by the public . Interior spaces of the building like the restrooms are small, inadequately lit and poorly ventilated. In the opinion of staff, the structure has not exhausted i t useful life so refurbishing the building is recommended. As a result, funds were programmed int o the Capital Improvements program for fiscal year 2011. Bids for this project were opened on Thursday, May 12, 2011; six bids were received. The apparent low bidder was Randolph and Dewdney Construction with a bid amount of $456,710.00. Construction time for this proposal has been reduced to 120 days. The agenda item for award of this bid was tabled at the July 12, 2011 Special/Workshop meeting with some Commissioners expressing reluctance to spend t he total cost of the project. Since then staff has explored less expensive alternatives for the rehabi litation project including revisiting a phased appr oach involving only the first floor rehabilitation and r eplacement of the deteriorated staircase to the exi sting second floor press box. Staff presented the Phase I proposal to Commission at the August 30, 2011 Workshop Meeting. During discussion of the Phase I alternative, it was noted that the windows in the existing press box were Plexiglas, and had weathered and fogged to a degree that significantly hindered visibility of the ball fields. Commission expressed a consensus that the w indow replacement should also be included in the Phase 1 scope. After further discussion, Commission directed staff to place the item on the September 6, 2011 agenda for action at which time Commission cou ld choose to construct the entire project as bid and award the contract to Randolph & Dewdney Constr uction as the lowest responsive bidder for the amount of $456,710.00; or build only the first phas e improvements limited to first floor rehabilitatio n scope and replacement of the stairway to the second floor. The estimated construction cost for that scope is $233,000.00. The replacement of the weathe red windows in the press box would add to Phase I costs estimated as follows: Replace with impact resistant windows $ 15,000 or r eplace with new Plexiglas $ 6,000. On advice of the City Attorney, should Commission o pt to approve the Phase I scope only, the project will need to be rebid. On September 6, 2011 Commiss ion voted 2/2 (no action); as a result the City pursued the option to secure additional funding for the project from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
