Ruby, City Attorney SUBJECT: Estoppel Letter Re: Quality Broadcasting --WDBF AM Broadcasting is purchasing a controlling interest in Quality Broadcasting and requires City Commission approval of the enclosed estoppel letter, which in essence confirms that there are no deficiencies in the current owner's compliance with the current lease terms and gives consent to the substitution of the buyer as the majority shareholder in Quality Broadcasting. There are landscape and parking issues which are unrelated to the lease that remain outstanding, which, to my understanding, are being addressed by the current owner. To my knowledge, there are no deficiencies that relate to compliance with the current lease terms. By copy of this letter to David Harden, City Manager, our office requests that this matter be placed on the January 13, 1998 agenda as a special meeting item in order for the seller and buyer to meet their contractual deadlines.

City of Delray Beach 'City Commission December 22, 1997 Page Two One of the first actions we plan to take is to improve the technical facility of WDBF to enhance its signal so that the residents of Detray Beach who enjoy the station will enjoy listening to it even more.

We look forward to working with the City Commission to insure that ours is a successful and mutually beneficial partnership. Thank you.

SUSAN RUBY RE WDBF LEASE AGREEMENT WITS THE CITY, JUNE 1995., PARA. THREE. I would submit that the original intent of PARA.3, was that should advertising not be used by the city - for any reason - within a given month, WDBF would simply accrue that advertising to be used within the following month ( or months) at the city's disposition. This is the more accurate resolution of the matter, since: A)- WDBF, in no way, would ever fail to make the advertising-time available to the city, on a regular monthly basis,in accordance with its lease. The very document is germain to .... the Radio Station's actual "home" and existence. The only way ' advertising would not be run would be WDBF's inability to '~' ' get its client to take time to provide material and instructions for the advertising-content. (As has now occurred. ) HOWEVER: B)- We will find that occasionally, - as with all advertisers - all of WDBF's efforts may still not be sufficient to get a proper schedule on the air in a given month. ( As with the _ case of June and (presently) July 1995. The pertinent advertisers were simply not ready to talk about advertising, even after all of WDBF's attempts to work out copy, spots, production end schedules. C)- WDBF STATION MANAGER, JEFF RUDOLPH, and I, will both be dedicated to the plan of making sure proper advertising runs each month under the terms of the lease. With this modification re PARA.3, I am certain we will work smoothly into a regular monthly advertising schedule for ,. ..... ':..~.. both city golf courses, clubhouses and for any other purposes the city may have for its promotional needs. ?~:~.....-.,':'-:;:x.~ Again, many thanks for your help in the lease-project. WDBF RADIO , TO: DAVID T. HARDEN CITY MANAGER THROUGH: DIA~E/j DOMINGUEZ, DIRECTO DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING FROM: PAUL DORLIN~J PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: CITY COMMISSION WORKSHOP OF JANUARY 13, 1998 PRESENTATION BY CONSULTANT ON LARGE HOME REGULATIONS At its meeting of November 18, 1997, the City Commission deferred action on the proposed ordinance regulating the construction of large homes. The Commission directed staff to arrange for the Large Home Task Team (LHTT) consultant, Hank Skokowski of Urban Design Studios, to prepare a presentation that would provide some alternative approaches to this issue. Staff met with Mr. Skokowski in December to review the actions that had occurred to date and to discuss some possible solutions. Mr. Skokowski has assisted other neighboring cities in creating regulations to address the large home compatibility issue. The solutions adopted by other communities vary greatly and in general are much more restrictive than the changes currently being considered by the City Commission. Mr. Skokowski will be attending the workshop to discuss the following: * How other cities have chosen to deal with the large home issue; * The issues and alternatives discussed with the LHTT; * Recommendations and alternatives. Attached is a memorandum from Mr. Skokowski describing an alternative approach that could be considered. S:PLANNIIDOUCUMEIREPORTSICCLH.DOC //,/.$./.

An effective approach would address the issue, be easy to administer, and would win the support of Delray Beach home owners. From that meeting, one approach emerged that should be considered by the City Council. This approach would consist of two basic elements: A. New regulations applicable to all properties B. New regulations and/or guidelines applicable only when thc potential of a "Large Home" problem is the greatest With respect to "A" above, a couple of new or revised regulations could significantly reduce the potential for "Large Home" compatibility impacts. They include 1) the method of measuring maximum roof height, i.e., top of roof vs. mean and 2) adopting a building envelope control which would limit the vertical height of buildings at the property line (see the buildkng envelope "concept" illustrated on the attached Ocean Ridge example). With respect to "B" above, additional standards could be applied only to homes exeeedine certain thre~llold$. These could include, but not be limited to: 1. l:lotnes exceeding a FAR of 35 2. Homes exceeding 30 feet in height 3. Homes exceeding the limits of an adopted building envelope 4.

The contract for the study was awarded to the transportation planning and engineering firm of McMahon and Associates in Boynton Beach. Subsequent to receiving a first draft of the study, the scope was expanded to have the consultants prepare a detailed cost estimate of converting the one-way pairs and installing the additional westbound lane at Swinton and Atlantic. The consultants will be presenting their findings and recommendations at the workshop meeting. In attendance will be the firm's Principal, Joseph McMahon, and the Project Manager for the study, Walter Bertschinger.
