Emergency Approval - Repairs Fire
ACTION
City Commission is requested to declare an emergency and approve engine repairs to Fire
Department vehicle #9233, a Pierce Pumper, in the amount of $12,393.64. The vendor that
completed the repairs is Florida Diesel. Funding is available in account #501-3311-591-
52.50 - Outside Service/City Garage.
BACKGROUND
Work has now been completed on Fire vehicle #9233, a Pierce Pumper. This work
involved major engine work per the attached bill. On December 18, 1997, we received an
emergency call out indicating that the vehicle would not run. Our garage staff discovered
engine damage that was beyond the scope of our in-house capabilities. The Pumper was
towed to Florida Diesel and Truck in Riviera Beach, the nearest factory authorized dealer.
Due to the degree of damage and the unknown amount of work to be done, we were
unable to determine the exact cost ahead of time. This work was considered an
emergency.
RECOMMENDATION
Declare the engine repairs completed on vehicle #9233 an emergency and approve repairs
in the amount of $12,393.64 with Florida Diesel with funding to come from account #501-
3311-591-52.50 - Outside - Repairs.

ISLAND FORCE MAIN REALIGNMENT)
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 1998
This is before the Commission to approve Service Authorization No.
5 in the amount of $24,977.00 with Hazen and Sawyer for
engineering consulting services in conjunction with realignment of
a sewage transmission main servicing the barrier island.
The scope of the project includes rehabilitation of an existing
24" Intracoastal Waterway crossing at Atlantic Avenue and
connection to existing sewer force mains on the east and west
sides. This 24" crossing will be disconnected from the active
ocean outfall and will become the primary sewage transmission main
servicing the barrier island. It will replace the aging 16" sewer
crossing at N.E. 1st Street, allowing that main to be removed from
service for inspection and rehabilitation as necessary.
Recommend approval of Service Authorization No. 5 with Hazen and
Sawyer in the amount of $24,997.00, with funding from Water and
Sewer Capital Outlay - Intracoastal Sewer Crossing (441-5161-536-

SUBJECT: BARRIER ISLAND FORCE MAIN REALIGNMENT - PROJECT #98067
DATE: February 25, 1998
Attached is an agenda request and a copy of Service Authorization No. 5 for Hazen and Sawyer in the amount of
$24,997.00 for provision of consulting services for the subject project.
The scope of this project includes: the rehabilitation of the existing 24" Intracoastal Crossing at Atlantic Avenue,
formerly comprising a portion of the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal (SCRWTD)
Plant Oean Outfall, extension of the existing 16" sewage force main from East Road westerly to the Intracoastal
Waterway (ICWW) and connection of the 24" crossing in Veterans Park to the existing 24" force main which
was the former discharge main from the old Master Lift Station. The 24" ICWW crossing will be disconnected
from the active Ocean Outfall and, subsequent to the described work, will become the primary sewage
transmission main servicing the Barrier Island.
The completion of this project will allow the removal from service of the aging 16" sewer crossing at N.E. 1st
Street for inspection and rehabilitation as necessary. This main can then be utilized as a redundant raw sewage
crossing for emergency use, or as a transmission main for provision of reuse water to the Barrier Island should
current studies verify the cost efficiency of that project.
This project has been on hold for the past two years pending issuance of the SCRWTD Plant operating permit
renewal by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection formalizing abandonment of the 24" crossing.
In a meeting with D.E.P. staff last week, we expressed our concern over the condition of the existing 16"
crossing and emphasized the potential environmental consequences should a failure occur. We were advised by
D.E.P. that the SCRWTDB permit would be issued expeditiously and would specify the abandonment of the 24"
crossing. The SCRWTDB has previously approved return of this main to Delray Beach pending issuance of the
D.E.P. permit.
The current construction budget for this project is $250,000.00 with funding available in Capital Outlay Account
#441-5161-536-63.74, Intracoastal Sewer Crossing.
Please place this item on the March 3, agenda for consideration by the City Commission.

taken out of service in '{998. A 30-inch ductile iran ocean outrall pipe that parallels the 24-inch is
used as part of the ocean ouffaJl piping system to discharge secondary effluent from the South
Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant to the ocean, The CITY of Deiray Beach plans to
rehabilitate the pipe by cured-in-place pipe lining and u~e it as part of their wastewater transmission
system, The 24-inch pipe will be disconnected from the 30-inch outfall pipe at the east/wes~
connections and will be connected to the existing '16-inch ductile iron forcemain on East Rossi and
the existing 24-inch ductile iron forcemein in Veterans Park. Once the 24-inch pipe is lined and
connected to the CITY's wastewater t~ansmission system the pipe will be used to convey flows from
the Barrier island to the in-line master booster pump station.

MEMORANDUM
To: David T. Harden
City Manager
From: Jos~ Aguila, A.I.A.(~
Construction Manager
Date: February 24, 1998
Subject: City Hall Envelope Project
Project No. 95-060
Attached is a listing of the items which represent an extra to the project as of this
date. A brief explanation of each item follows.
1. The slab for the HVAC chiller was not designed to properly handle the
weight of the chiller so the added cost covers the additional concrete and
steel .......................................................................................... Cost 607.75
2. The first floor hall carpet had to be replaced after the pressure grouting of
the foundations was completed. We had hoped to reuse the existing
carpet but this was not possible ............................................. Cost 2,433.00
3. This covers the cost for replacement of the second floor carpet from the
entry to the Finance Department to the City Clerk's office ..... Cost 2,394.00
4. This item covers the cost of adding a door between Kathy and Jackie's
office in the Purchasing Department ......................................... Cost 807.00
5o This cost covers the removal and replacement of all the carpet areas in
the Chambers and the staff sitting reom ................................ Cost 5,251.00
6. This item covers the replacement of the carpet in Lula's and Donna's
office ...................................................................................... Cost 1,614.00
7. This item covers the cost of re-painting the existing generator building to
match the new colors of City Hall ........................................... Cost 1,230.60
8. Due to the extent of damaged ceiling tile throughout the second floor of
the building, we replaced all the tile in the Finance Department with a new
tile, and used the existing (discontinued model) to replace the damaged
ones in the rest of the second floor ........................................ Cost 6,195.00
9. Once the ceilings were exposed it was discovered that an "existing" beam
which we were to tie into was not as per the original plans. Therefore, a
revised column detail had to be prepared necessitating that all the existing
glass and frames be removed and replaced with new ........... Cost 5,008.40
10o The contractor argues that the amount of wall repair was more than
anticipated and has taken the position that had the original wall covering
been applied properly, that so much repair would not have been required.
After discussion, I agreed to split the total cost .................... Cost $1,300.00
11. Once the exterior soffit area on the west end of the Chambers was
exposed, it became apparent that the detail prepared by the architect
would not work. ^ revised detail was prepared and the contractor made
the required changes ............................................................ Cost $525.00
12. The architect left out all information on the reflected ceiling plan for the
Finance Department. This error caused some extras to the project in
lighting and electrical items .................................................. Cost $5,182.00
13. This is the same as item 12, but represents AC concerns ........ Cost 788.00
14. This is the same as item 12, but represents fire sprinkler head relocation
and adjustment ......................................................................... Cost 200.00
15. While performing the work on the exterior of the building, a section of
plywood sheathing was exposed and found to be damaged from water
intrusion. I requested that the contractor replace before finishing the
stucco .................................................................................. Cost $1,212.00
16. This item covers cost to the revision we made to the entry area. It was
anticipated that this would be a wash once the plaque credit was applied,
however once the cost of additional framing was included, it became an
extra to the project ............................................................... Cost $7,681.00
17. The new chilled water lines were to come up the building on the west side
of the south stair. Once the work began, it became evident that there
were several beams (some existing and some new) that were in conflict
causing some change in layout ............................................ Cost $2,785.00
18. We discussed the need to provide separate FPL meters for City Hall and
the Community Center ......................................................... Cost $8,211.00
19. The specified louver apparently is not water tight and I requested an
upgrade to another manufacturer and model be utilized to insure that we
do not get any water into the new roof or duct work ............ Cost $3,500.00
20. The Finance Department requested an additional cabinet in the Copy
room, and behind the reception desk ..................................... Cost $ 683.00
21. During the course of the work, some existing code violations were
encountered which required correction .................................. Cost $ 840.00
22. The new HVAC equipment was not designed to include the necessary
heater starters which were required to make the system work properly.
This cost covers the additional starters required ................. Cost $ 3,447.00
23. Even with all the attention given to the various elements affecting the roof
design, several conflicts were encountered on the roof with respect to the
truss design and coordination with both new and existing equipment.
After several meetings, we agreed to split the costs ........... Cost $ 7,500.00
24. Due to repeated vandalism thru the downstairs lounge, we added a storm
panel similar to the other ones on the building ....................... Cost $ 500.00
25. It was anticipated that the existing disconnects on the roof for the HVAC
equipment would be re-used. It turned out that the wiring was inadequate
and new disconnects and a transformer were required ...... Cost $ 8,110.00
26. The engineer indicated the chiller disconnect as an option, however the
code requires this disconnect ............................................. Cost $ 4,173.00
27. The plans did not call for lighting at three exterior doors, as requested by
the City. These lights are now included in the work ........... Cost $ 2,784.00
28. The architect called for an incorrect size of door along the first floor
corridor, requiring the contractor to discard the purchased door and
purchasing a new one ............................................................ Cost $ 500.00
29. The required cavity wall waterproofing was not specified correctly by the
architect. This material provides a seal between the new and old building.
We negotiated this number by using the proposed extra against the
amount provided in the bid .................................................. Cost $1,175.00
30. A number of structural extras were incurred which are grouped in this
category. Some are for unforeseen conditions, some were missed by the
designers and some were added by the City. These include additional
beams and footers .............................................................. Cost $ 5,250.00
31. This cost covers the relocation of seven second floor windows along the
west wall of the building .................................................... Cost $13,391.00
32. Several landscaping upgrades were requested by the City to balance the
design and general appearance of the building .................. Cost $1,800.00
33. The actual structure of the roof differed from the original plans requiring a
change in attachment system ................................................ Cost
$2,956.00
34. Due to the changes described in item 9 above, the planned shutter detail
had to be modified. An additional steel angle had to be fabricated and
welded in place prior to shutter attachment ........................ Cost $ 2,900.00
35. Once the final truss design was completed many more truss girders were
required to meet the 155 MPH plus 15% wind loads expected in this
project. This design being more restrictive than usual, and not detailed at
bid time (usually done after bid by the truss manufacturer) the final cost of
labor and material was negotiated ..................................... Cost $ 8,500.00

SUBJECT: MEETING OF MARCH 3, '1998
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A RESIDENTIAL TYPE INN
AND OUTDOOR DINING AREAS FOR SUNDY INN.
The subject property is located on the south side of S.W. 1st Street, between S. Swinton
Avenue and S.W. 1st Avenue, with an off-site parking area at the northeast corner of S.W. 1st
Street and S.W. 1st Avenue. The development proposal includes the establishment of a 23-
guest room residential type inn, a restaurant with outdoor dining, and associated parking. A
detailed description of the development proposal, additional background and an analysis of the
request are found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the request at a public hearing on February 23,
1998. There was no public testimony regarding the proposal. Staff had concerns with the
proposed location of a proposed new dining room and the driveway location at the northeast
corner of the site. The applicant requested that these issues be deferred to the Historic
Preservation Board which will take action on the site plan submittal. The applicant also
requested modification of staff's recommendation regarding the percentage of rooms that would
be suites. After discussing the proposal, the Board voted 6-0 (Carbone absent) to recommend
to the City Commission approval of the Conditional Use request for the Sundy Inn (residential
type inn and outdoor dining area) based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3
(Performance Standards) and Section 2.4.5(E)(5) (Required Findings) of the Land Development
Regulations, and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, subject to the following conditions:
1. Submission of a full site plan application to be processed pursuant to Section 2.4.3 of the
Land Development Regulations;
2. That the outdoor dining area at the northeast corner of the site close by 11:00 P.M.;
3. The floor plan for the first floor suite in the proposed 8-unit structure must be redesigned to
eliminate the potential for 2 leasable guest rooms; and,
4. That at least 40% of the guest units be suites.
By motion, approve the Conditional Use request for the Sundy Inn based upon to the findings
and conditions as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board.

The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the
City Commission on a Conditional Use request and attendant sketch plan
to establish a residential type inn and outdoor dining areas for Sundy Inn.
The subject property is located on the south side of S.W. Ist Street,
between S. Swinton Avenue and S.W. 1st Avenue, with an off-site parking
area at the northeast corner of S.W. 1st Street and S.W. 1~t Avenue, within
the Old School Square Historic District.
The subject property consists of a Lots 1-3, Sundy Estates Plat (1.435 acres), and Lots
9 and 10, Block 61, Town of Linton (0.45 acres), totaling 1.88 acres.
The Sundy Estates property contains the following: an existing 2,447 sq.ft, office
building (Sundy House) with an 1,834 sq.ft, patio and deck area previously used for
outdoor dining and a 475 sq.ft, garage; an 8-unit apartment building; a single family
home; and, a 4-unit apartment building along with two mulch parking lots totaling 45
spaces (24-space and 21-space) and associated landscaping. The structures
associated with the Sundy Estates property are historically significant with the Sundy
House constructed in 1902 (designated on the National Register for Historic Places),
the garage c. 1933, the 8-unit Sundy Apartments in 1947, the single family house and
4-unit apartment building constructed in 1925. The two single family residences and
guest cottage on Lots 9 and 10 are also historically significant as they were constructed
in 1940. The land use history as it pertains to the Sundy Estates property is as follows:
With the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map in
November 1989, the Future Land Use Map designation for the property was changed
from MF-6 (Multiple Family - 6 du/ac) to Mixed Use. With the Citywide rezoning and
adoption of the Land Development Regulations in October, 1990, the property was
rezoned from RO (Residential Office District) to OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic
Arts District).
On February 20, 1991, the Historic Preservation Board granted site plan approval for
conversion of the Sundy House to an Antique Shop. The site plan approval included
construction of unimproved north/south alley which bisected the block and back-out
parking onto the alley. As the Sundy House project commenced construction, thought
was given to moving the approved parking area westerly so as to not have to relocate
power poles and to provide additional space between the building and the parking area.
On June 19, 1991, a request to abandon the alleyway was before the HPB. At that
meeting, the HPB recommended to the Planning and Zoning Board that the alley
abandonment be subject to the condition that the master site plan be submitted which
would accommodate access (for parking purposes) for the lots adjacent to the alley.
P & Z Board Staff Report

Page 2
During construction, the owner decided to provide additional site features south of the
Sundy House. These were accommodated through a site plan modification which was
before the HPB on August 14, 1991. The improvements included: a deck with a
covered canopy; a patio area; a gazebo; and, relocation of the fire escape. The deck,
patio and gazebo were specifically approved as passive use areas as while there was
discussion of an outdoor dining use, that use was neither allowed within the zone
district nor specifically a part of the site plan modification application.
On September 23, 1991, the Historic Preservation Board approved the composite site
plan for the Sundy House, which included establishing a cafe/restaurant at the Sundy
House; installation of on-site parking for the Sundy Apartments involving joint use of the
common parking area between the Sundy House and the Sundy apartments; and, other
changes to the Sundy House portion of the site (i.e. refrigeration unit, landscaping,
parking and sidewalk modifications). At its meeting of October 8, 1991, the City
Commission denied the applicant's appeal of the HPB's action requiring dedication of 5'
of right-of-way along S.W. 1st Avenue.
At its meeting of January 15, 1992, the Historic Preservation Board approved a
variance to allow the installation of a 24-space mulch surface parking lot between the
Sundy House and the apartments. At its meeting of February 19, 1992, the Historic
Preservation Board approved the site plan and associated variance for Sundy Parking
Lot #3, to construct a 21-space mulch parking lot located at the southwest corner of the
Sundy House and Apartments composite site plan. On November 17, 1992, the City
Commission approved the Sundy Estates Plat (replat of Lots 1-10, Block 62, Town of
Linton), and the alley abandonment.
At its meeting of February 13, 1993, the OSSHAD zoning district regulations were
amended to allow outdoor dining areas for daytime use only as an accessory use to a
restaurant or business, and outdoor dining areas which operate at night as a conditional
use. The outdoor dining area associated with the restaurant was to be limited to
daytime use only. The restaurant vacated the Sundy House in 1996. The house was
subsequently reoccupied and has been utilized as business and professional offices.
In December, 1997, a request was made to allow residential type inns as a conditional
use in the OSSHAD. In January, 1998, conditional use requests were submitted to
establish a residential type inn and outdoor dining areas (evening dining) on the Sundy
Estates property. At its meeting of February 17, 1998, the City Commission approved
the text amendment on second and final reading. The conditional use requests are
now before the Board for action.
The development proposal includes the following:

The hours of operation of the restaurant will be 11:30 A.M. - 12 Midnight with the
exception of Courtyard Dining Area A (northeast corner of the site) which will close at
11:00 P.M The inn guests and restaurant customers will not be required to valet park,
and the guests will be provided with electronic gate operators for the sliding gates at the
parking lots. There will be 14 employees on site at one time. The employees will be
encouraged to park in the most remote parking spaces, car pool and find alternative
means of transportation.
CHAPTER 3 (REQUIRED FINDINGS): (Performance Standards - L.O.S.)
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings) of the Land Development
Regulations, prior to approval of development applications, certain findings must
be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved
through information on the application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings
shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the
development application. These findings relate to the following four areas:
FUTURE LAND USE MAP: The use or structures must be allowed in the zone
district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation.
The subject property has a Mixed Use Future Land Use Map designation and an
OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) zoning designation. The OSSHAD
zoning district is consistent with the Mixed Use FLUM designation. Pursuant to LDR
Section 4.4.24(D)(3), within the OSSHAD, outdoor dining which operates at night or
which is the principal use or purpose of the associated restaurant is allowed as a
conditional use. Also, LDR Section 4.4.24(D)(6) states that residential type inns not to
exceed more than 18 individually leased suites or rooms per acre, is allowed as a
conditional use. The site contains 1.435 acres and the proposal is to provide 23 units
which represents a density of 16 units per acre. When including the 0.45 acre off-site
parking area (1.88 acres total), the density will be 13 units per acre. Based upon the
above, a positive finding with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map can
be made.
CONCURRENCY: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be
provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service
established within the Comprehensive Plan.
Water and Sewer:
No preliminary water and sewer plans have been submitted, however, the following is
noted:
P & Z Board Staff Report
Sundy Inn - Conditional Use Approval
Page 5
Water service currently exists via a service lateral connections to an existing 2"
water main within S.W. 1st Street and S.W. 1st Avenue. Adequate fire
suppression is provided via existing fire hydrants within the area (southeast
corner of S. Swinton Avenue and S.E. 1st Street, northeast corner of S.W. Ist
Avenue and S.W. 2nd Street, and northeast corner of S.W. Ist Street and S.W.
2nd Avenue.)
Sewer service exists via service lateral connections to an existing 8" sanitary
sewer main located on-site within the portion of the previously abandoned
north/south alley.
Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, treatment capacity is available at the City's Water
Treatment Plant and the South Central County Waste Water Treatment Plant for the
City at build-out. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to
this level of service standard.
Drainage:
Paving and drainage plans are not required with a conditional use request. With a full
site plan submittal, drainage plans will be required. Drainage must be retained on-site.
At this time, there are no problems anticipated complying with South Florida Water
Management District or Lake Worth Drainage District requirements.
Streets and Traffic:
A traffic analysis has been prepared indicating that the additional restaurant floor area
and conversion from apartments to a residential type inn will generate 484 new trips per
day. The subject property is located within the TCEA (Traffic Concurrency Exception
Area), which encompasses the CBD (Central Business District), OSSHAD (Old School
Square Historic Arts District) and the West Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor. The
TCEA exempts the above described areas from complying with the Palm Beach County
Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Based upon the above, a positive finding
with respect to traffic concurrency can be made.
Parks and Open Space:
Park dedication requirements do not apply for nonresidential uses. Thus, there will be
no impact on this level of service standard.
Solid Waste:
Trash generated each year by the additional 5,316 sq.ft, of restaurant area (7,763 sq.ft.
total) will be 24.9 pounds per square foot per year or 66.19 tons per year. The 23
suites (11,678 sq.ft, total) will generate 4.7 pounds per square foot per year or 27.44
tons per year. The trash generated by this proposal can be accommodated by existing
facilities, therefore, a positive finding with respect to this level of service standard can
be made.
P & Z Board Staff Report
Sundy Inn - Conditional Use Approval
Page 6
CONSISTENCY: Compliance with performance standards set forth in Chapter 3
and required findings in Section 2.4.5(E)(5) for the Conditional Use request shall
be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other
objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in
making a finding of overall consistency.
A review of the goals, objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was
conducted and the following applicable objective and policy are noted.
Housing Objective A-12: To assist residents of the City in maintaining and
enhancing their neighborhood environment, the City shall take steps to ensure
that modifications in and around the neighborhood do not lead to its decline,
such as those described in the following policies.
Housing Policy A-12.3: In evaluating proposals for new development or
redevelopment, the City shall consider the effect that the proposal will have on
the stability of nearby neighborhoods. Factors such as noise, odors, dust, traffic
volumes and circulation patterns shall be reviewed in terms of their potential to
negatively impact the safety, habitability and stability of residential areas. If it is
determined that a proposed development will result in a degradation of any
neighborhood, the project shall be modified accordingly or denied.
While the existing zoning of the property (OSSHAD) encourages a mix of uses
(commercial, office, residential) the residential zoning district to the west (RM) is
primarily a residential zoning district. The proposal is to establish residential type inn
and an outdoor dining area associated with a restaurant on a property located adjacent
to an existing church and along a City collector. The majority of the traffic associated
with the development will enter and exit the site from Swinton Avenue and will not
spillover to the residential area to the west. The development proposal will result in
significant upgrades to the site which will help stabilize and enhance the adjacent
residential areas.
SECTION 2.4.5(E) REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Conditional Use)
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(E)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Chapter 3,
the City Commission must make findings that establishing the conditional use
will not:
A. Have a significantly detrimental effect upon the stability of the
neighborhood within which it will be located;
B. Nor that it will hinder development or redevelopment of nearby properties.
The subject property is surrounded by the following zoning districts: to the north and
east is zoned OSSHAD; to the south is zoned CF (Community Facilities); to the west is
zoned CF and RM (Medium Density Residential). The surrounding land uses are: to
P & Z Board Staff Report
Sundy.lnn - Conditional Use Approval
Page 7
the north and east are single family residences; to the south is a single family residence
and a church (St. Paul's Episcopal Church); and, to the west are single family
residences, duplexes, a community residential home (The Lighthouse), and vacant
land.
Compatibility of the proposed residential type inn and outdoor dining areas with the
proposed adjacent properties is not a major concern. With the exception of Dining Area
A (northeast corner of the site), the dining areas will be located on the west and south
side of the Sundy House which is similar to that which was approved in 1991. These
dining areas will be buffered from the surrounding residential uses by the existing
structures located on the site. The dining area at the northeast corner of the site, which
is not surrounded by existing structures, is separated from the adjacent properties
(consisting of 4 single family houses) by S.W. 1St Street and Swinton Avenue. While
not currently indicated on the plans, the applicant has stated that extensive landscaping
will be provided adjacent to the outdoor dining area. Also, the proposal is to limit the
hours of operation of the outdoor dining area within this portion of the site to 11:00 P.M.
While outdoor dining within this area is not a major concern, the proposed building
addition on the north side of the Sundy House will obscure the most visible aspects of
the Sundy House structure. It may be appropriate to locate the dining room and the fire
escape to the west or south side of the Sundy House, to prevent any obstruction of the
most prominent elevation of this historic structure. Typically this type of issue is
deferred until site plan review at which time building elevations are analyzed. However,
as the conditional use includes an attendant sketch plan, the applicant should be made
aware that the proposed location of the dining room addition is problematic.
The proposed use will help fulfill the need for accommodations for tourists within close
proximity to the City's central business district. This proposal will significantly upgrade
one of the City's most historically significant structures/property and will help stabilize
the surrounding neighborhood. The upgrading of the site will enhance rather than
depreciate property values in the area, and may be an inducement for the upgrading of
nearby properties. The proposal retains the residential character that is sought with
developments within the OSSHAD zone district.. As the intent of the OSSHAD zone
district is to promote mixed uses, a positive finding of compatibility can be made.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
The proposed use will be in compliance with the Land Development Regulations.
If the Conditional Use is approved, a full site plan submittal complying with the
Land Development Regulations will be required. Along with the Conditional Use
request, a sketch plan has been submitted and reviewed by staff. Based upon
staff's review of the sketch plan and site inspections, technical items were
identified and transmitted to the applicant. These items will need to be
addressed with the full site plan submittal. The following analysis is provided as
it pertains to the conditional use requests.
P & Z Board Staff Report
Sundy Inn - Conditional Use Approval
Page 8
LDR Section 4,3.3(X)Residential Inns: Residential type inns shall be subject to
the following provisions, limitations, and restrictions:
1) The use must be located with frontage on, or access from, at least one arterial
or collector street as delineated on the City's Transportation Element;
The proposed use has frontage on Swinton Avenue which is a City collector and is
delineated as such in the City's Transportation Element of the Comprehensive
Plan.
2) The use must be located in proximity to office, industrial, or commercial uses;
The proposed use is located within 600' of Atlantic Avenue and 300' of the City's
Central Business District, which contain commercial and office type uses.
3) The minimum floor area per suite shall be 450 square feet;
Of the 23 proposed guest rooms, 7 suites are proposed with their square footage
as follows: one 1,145 sq.ft, single family home; four 536 sq.ft, suites; and, two 728
sq.ft, suites. The balance of the units (16 units) will be hotel rooms which require a
minimum floor area of 325 sq.ft. [ref. LDR Section 4.3.3(M)(1)]. The unit sizes
exceed the requirement as follows: four 421 sq.ft.; four 405 sq.ft.; five 397 sq.ft.;
one 395 sq.ft.; and, one 388 sq.ft. There is a concern with the design of a
proposed 728 sq.ft, suite (first floor) within the new structure and the ability to utilize
the suite as 2 units. If this is occurs, the result will be a 325 sq.ft, hotel room and a
405 sq.ft, suite, which will not comply with this code section. Also, the number of
units provided on the site would increase, requiring a conditional use modification
and additional parking.
While the conditional use request is to establish a residential type inn, two-thirds of
the units are hotel rooms as opposed to suites, which is a concern. In order to be
in keeping with the intent of this code section a greater percentage (at least 50%) of
the guest rooms should be suites with a minimum 450 sq.ft, of floor area. While it is
difficult to retrofit the existing apartment buildings to accommodate additional
suites, the proposed 8-unit structure at the south side of the site can be designed to
accommodate the additional suites. The provision of 50% suites has been attached
as a condition of approval.
4) Accessory uses may include: recreational facilities i.e. swimming pool,
whirlpool, jacuzzi, steam room, tennis courts; meeting rooms; complimentary
room service; and other nonresidential uses as permitted within the
respective zoning district.
The proposal includes a swimming pool, laundry facilities and a restaurant, which is
permitted in the OSSHAD zoning district.
P & Z Board Staff Report
Sundy Inn - Conditional Use Approval

5) Parking shall be provided pursuant to Section 4.6.9(C)(7)(e).
As the subject property is located within the OSSHAD, parking must be provided
pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(G)(4), which is discussed below.
LDR Section 4.4.24 Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD):
LDR Section 4.4.24{G)(4){b) and (c) {Parking Requirements), restaurants shall
provide six spaces per one thousand square feet of total new or existing floor area
being converted to restaurant use, and residential type inns shall provide one parking
space per guest room/unit.
Based upon the above, the proposed 23 guest rooms require 23 parking spaces (1
space per guest room) and the 7,928 sq.ft, of restaurant area requires 48 spaces for a
total of 71 parking spaces. The proposal provides 29 on-site spaces and 42 off-site
spaces for a total of 71 parking spaces, which complies with the above requirement.
LDR Section 4.4.24(H) (OSSHAD - Special District Regulations):
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(H)(3), residential type inns shall create a transitional
or buffer area between residential uses and nonresidential uses (such as office,
commercial, etc.) which are either on or near the subject property.
Utilizing the existing site design, the leasable units will be oriented so that they create a
buffer between the residential properties to the west and the restaurant at the northeast
corner of the site. With regard to the residences to the north and east, they are located
within the OSSHAD which promotes mixed uses.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(H)(4). a residential inn shall be associated with an
historic structure and must be residential in design, scale and character.
The existing structures which will be utilized for the residential type inn are all
historically significant. The proposed structure which will be east of the existing
structures will have the same residential design, scale and character. This item will be
further addressed with the site plan submittal.
LDR Section 6.1.4(B)(3)(b) {Driveway Location)
Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.4(B)(3)(b), no driveway shall be located within 25' of the
extension of ultimate right-of-way lines at any intersection. A waiver to this requirement
can be granted provided the waiver is supported by the City Engineer.
The proposed drop-off driveway onto S.W. 1st Street is located 19' from the ultimate

Brush tree, which is very rare specimen tree. The City Engineer has stated that a
waiver to the distance requirement will not be supported. It is recommended that the
driveway be located on the west side of the tree thereby eliminating the potential delay
for valets exiting the site while vehicles are stopped for the traffic signal at the Swinton
Avenue and S.W. Ist Street intersection. If the proposed dining room at the northeast
corner of the site is relocated as previously suggested, the relocation of the driveway
should be easily accommodated.
The development is not within a geographical area requiring review by the DDA
(Downtown Development Authority).
Community Redevelopment Agency:
At its meeting of February 12, 1998, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed
and recommended approval of the conditional use requests.
Historic Preservation Board:
At its meeting of February 18, 1998, the Historic Preservation Board recommended
approval of the conditional use requests for the Sundy Inn. If Conditional Use approval
is granted, a full site plan submittal will follow. Final action on the site plan submittal will
rest with the HPB (Historic Preservation Board). The site plan must accommodate
concerns raised through the conditional use analysis, and technical items that have
been previously transmitted to the applicant.
Courtesy and Neighborhood Notices:
A courtesy notice has been provided to the Old School Square Homeowner's
Association. Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500 ft.
radius of the subject property. Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented
at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
The development proposal to establish a residential type inn and outdoor dining areas
is consistent with Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations and the policies of
the Comprehensive Plan. Positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(E)(5)
(Conditional Use Findings) can be made provided the northeast outdoor dining area is
closed by 11:00 P.M. Also, the proposed northeast dining room and the fire escape
should be relocated to the west or south side of the Sundy House, to prevent any
obstruction of the most prominent elevation of this historic structure. The drop-off area
driveway should be located west of the Shaving Brush tree and the proportion of guest
rooms that are suites should be increased to at least 50%. The proposed use will help
fulfill the need for accommodations for tourists within close proximity to the City's

central business district. This proposal will significantly upgrade one of the City's most
historically significant structures/property and will help stabilize the surrounding
neighborhood. The upgrading of the site will enhance rather than depreciate property
values in the area, and may be an inducement for the upgrading of nearby properties.
1. Continue with direction.
2. Recommend approval of the Conditional Use request for Sundy Inn based upon
positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) and Section
2.4.5(E)(5) (Required Findings) of the Land Development Regulations, and the
policies of the Comprehensive Plan subject to conditions.
3. Recommend denial of the Conditional Use request for Sundy Inn based upon a
failure to make positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(E)(5) (Conditional
Use Findings) of the Land Development Regulations and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, of the proposed use with adjacent land uses.
Recommend to the City Commission approval of the Conditional Use request for Sundy
Inn based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards)
and Section 2.4.5(E)(5) (Required Findings) of the Land Development Regulations, and
the policies of the Comprehensive Plan subject to the following conditions:
1. Submission of a full site plan application to be processed pursuant to Section 2.4.3
of the Land Development Regulations;
2. That the outdoor dining area at the northeast corner of the site close by 11:00 P.M.;
3. That the Dining Room A and the fire escape be located on the south or west side of
the Sundy House;
4. The floor plan for the first floor suite in the proposed 8-unit structure must be
redesigned to eliminate the potential for 2 leasable guest rooms;
5. That at least 50% of the guest units be suites; and,

FROM: CITY MANAGER~
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~'~- REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1998
ADOPTION OF SEACREST/DEL-IDA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 1998
This is before the Commission to consider adoption of the
Seacrest/Del-Ida Park Neighborhood Plan. The area is bounded on
the east by the F.E.C. Railroad, on the west by Swinton Avenue,
N.E. 4th Street on the south, and the city limits to the north.
The overall purpose of the plan is to revitalize and improve the
neighborhood. It is the result of extensive input from the
affected homeowners associations as well as review and analysis by
City staff, the Community Redevelopment Agency, the Historic
Preservation Board and the Planning and Zoning Board. The CRA and
HPB both voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the plan.
The Planning and Zoning Board formally considered the plan at a
public hearing on February 23, 1998. After lengthy discussion on
the effect of proposed downzoning on property values, the Board
voted 4 to 2 to recommend adoption. The two dissenting members
supported the plan with the exception of the downzoning provision.
The recommended action is adoption of the Seacrest/Del-Ida Park
Neighborhood Plan, based on a finding of consistency with Policy
A-5.5 of the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1998
ADOPTION OF SEACREST/DEL-IDA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
The "Residential Neighborhood Categorization Map," contained in the Housing Element of the
City's Comprehensive Plan, delineates neighborhoods throughout the City according to the
prevailing condition of private property. The main objective of the categorization is to identify
the level of need in each neighborhood, which in turn will determine the strategies to be taken in
meeting that need. The SeacrestJDel-lda Park Neighborhood is currently categorized as follows:
Revitalization - Evidence of decline in condition of structures and yards; increase in
crime; property values stagnant or declining.
Objective A-5 of the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element calls for areas with this
categorization to have a greater priority in terms of targeting of code enforcement and law
enforcement operations; and to have a greater priority in the scheduling of capital
improvements (infrastructure) which will assist in arresting visual signs of deterioration.
Additionally, "Policy A-5.5" states that neighborhood plans are to be prepared for areas
designated as "revitalization."
The overall purpose of this Neighborhood Plan is to revitalize and improve the neighborhood.
The plan was produced through extensive public input at both the Seacrest Homeowners
Association and the Del-Ida Park Homeowners Association meetings during 1997. The Plan
includes the following major recommendations:
Rezoning of several multi-family areas to single-family;
Recommendation to amend Article 1.3 of the LDR's NONCONFORMING USES, LOTS AND
STRUCTURES, to increase or eliminate the current expenditure limits for repair and
maintenance of non-conforming structures within the neighborhood;
Creation of a new Historic District for the Dell Park area;
Installation of traffic calming measures within the neighborhood;
Completion of the sidewalk system in the neighborhood;
An incentive program to install decorative post lights in the front yard of residences;
A streetscape program which includes removal of additional asphalt in the road right-of-
ways, regrading of swales, additional street lights, and street trees;
Construction of off-street parking lots in the duplex/multi-family areas in concert with a
reduction in the amount of back-out parking;
Installation of a landscape buffer along the FEC Railroad between George Bush Boulevard
and NE 14th Street;
Construction of an off-street parking lot by the CRA in the RO district within Del-Ida Park for
use by owners who wish to convert their properties to non-residential uses;
Recommendation that the CRA extend its "Historic Facade Easement Program" to include
Del-Ida Park and the proposed Dell Park Historic district, and;

The HPB reviewed the proposed Plan at its meeting of February 18, 1998. The Board voted
unanimously to recommend adoption of the Plan.
Planning & Zoning Board
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the proposed Plan at its meeting of
February 23, 1998. Several neighborhood residents spoke in support of the Plan, and one
resident opposed the proposed downzonings. There was extensive discussion regarding the
effect of the downzoning on property values, particularly with respect to the ability to obtain
financing and/or insurance on non-conforming structures. Two of the Board members
supported the plan with the exception of the downzoning provision. The Board recommended
adoption of the Plan by a vote of 4 to 2.
By motion, adopt the Seacrest/Del-lda Park Neighborhood Plan, based on a finding of
consistency with Policy A-5.5 of the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element.

Re: Seacrest/Del-Ida Park Neighborhood
Proposed Rezoning
Dear Ms. Dominguez:
On February 1, 1998, I, as a partner of Eassa Properties, received your Special Notice regarding
the proposed adoption of the rezoning plan for the Seacrest/Del Ida Park Neighborhood. We
own the duplex located on the northwest corner ofN.E. 9 Street and Third Avenue, 275-277
N.E. 9 Street.
While we appreciate the concerns of the neighborhood residents, it appears that.this proposal may
not consider problems that will be created by its adoption. It is our understanding that the
proposal is moving forward without the benefit of a workshop session by the Planning and Zoning
Board, which is a disappointment in itself.
[£ adopted, this proposed plan will place every non-single family structure in the "non-
conforming" status as to use and/or structure. Considerations should be given to the problems
generated by this non-conforming status. The majority of the buildings affected cannot be
converted to single fhmily dwellings without major costs in doing so because of their present floor
plan and layout. If they are sold, mortgages for the affected properties will not be available
because of the non-conformity. It is likely that the properties will become more deteriorated and
distasteful to the neighborhood as time passes because repairs and maintenance will be limited, as
the incentive and ability to finance the costs of maintaining these structures will have been
~emoved. It will be difficuk to accomplish major repairs under this status, as most will require
permits from the Building Department which may be reluctant to permit such work, depending on
the ratio of cost to value.

If the object is to remove the blighted condition of the neighborhood, it would appear that a step
toward stronger code enforcement, and a re-vamping of the landscape ordinances to require
upgrading of the existing duplex and apartment buildings in the area, would help to achieve the
goals of the neighborhood associations. In our opinion, it is not the existence of the
"duplexes/apartments" that are creating the blight, but the condition of those properties and their
inhabitants. It is obvious that if that neighborhood were all single family homes, maintained in the
same manner as they are now, the blight would continue.
It appears that an attempt is being made to constructively improve the neighborhood to the
detriment of many property owners who own and have owned duplexes/apartments that were
acceptable when constructed.
It will be appreciated if a copy of this letter will be presented to each of the Planning & Zoning
Board members prior to the meeting of February 23.
Sincerely,
Managing Partner

impacts from such an event are ponding with
moderate (less than 12 hours) duration and general
inconvenience for LOS "D" to ponding with relatively
long duration(greater than 12 hours) and inaccessible
sections of roadways for LOS "E'.
The City has programmed projects to correct the
deficiencies and achieve a Level of Service "C", with
funding to come from the Stormwater Utility Fee, a
non ad-valorem tax added to the property tax bill. A
description of the proposed improvements for the
neighborhood is included in the "Plan Implementation"
Section.
ELECTRICAL AND TELEPHONE DISTRIBUTION
Telephone and electric services are provided to all
neighborhood properties from existing lines located in
road rights-of-ways. Although no deficiencies or
required upgrades are noted at this time, the visual
appearance of overhead utility lines is degrading to the
appearance of the area. These lines should be
relocated underground on all new projects.
Street Lighting
Despite the presence of adequate electrical service in
the area, many residents expressed concerns regarding
street lighting in the area. Plans for additional lighting
improvements are discussed in the "Plan
Implementation" Section.
FIRE PROTECTION
Fire protection is provided from Station #1 on West
Atlantic Avenue. The station provides adequate
service to the entire neighborhood with a 3 to 7 minute
average response time.
Hydrant Distribution
Fire hydrants are distributed throughout the study
area. LDR requirements for hydrant spacing are a
maximum of 500 feet in residential areas, 400 feet in
multi-family residential areas, and 300 feet in
commercial areas. Those spacing requirements are met
for most of the area.
STREETSGAPING
The appearance of the rights-of-way in the study area
has been cited as a problem by several residents. The
installation of streetscape improvements is an
important factor in revitalization as proven by the
impact of Atlantic Avenue beautification on the

Members of the Homeowners Associations who have

begin to meet with other neighborhood residents to
discuss the provisions of the Plan and gather support
for the Special Assessment District.
Since the capital improvements included in the Plan
are not yet included in the 5-Year Capital Improvement
programs for either the City or the CRA, these budgets
will need to be amended and dollars allocated for the
various projects.
Implementation of the capital improvements included
in the Plan will first require the preparation of land
surveys. This work element should be scheduled as
soon as possible. When the surveys are completed, the

individual projects can begin as time and funding
becomes available.

FUNDING SOURCES
The City and CRA will provide whatever support is
available to assist in the implementation of this
Neighborhood Plan. Funding for some pubhc
improvements may be available from the City or
through the CRA's tax increment generated by new
development and redevelopment in the neighborhood
and in the N. Federal Highway corridor. Other
improvements may be financed in part through the
establishment of one or more special assessment
districts created pursuant to the neighborhood plan.
The CRA will expend funds on behalf of the
neighborhood in order to create the required Special
Assessment Districts.

in this plan are provided in Table 7, page 36.

Direction - Proposed Pedi-Cab Ordinance
ACTION
City Commission is requested to provide staff direction concerning the pedicab issue.
BACKGROUND
At the February 3, 1998 Commission meeting, Commission postponed action on this item
and requested recommendations from the Community Redevelopment Agency, the
Downtown Development Authority, the Joint Venture, and the Parking Management
Advisory Board. Letters from each are attached as well as recommendations from the
Chamber of Commerce and the Atlantic Avenue Association.
In summary it appears that there is a majority consensus to: 1) Continue use for special events with the road closed.
2) Set up a six (6) month trial period with restrictions for use, excluding the north
and southbound lanes of Federal Highway and Swinton Avenue.
Also discussed to some extent during some of the meetings I attended, would be to
require the same provisions of approval as required for special events i.e. insurance, etc.
and that City staff make recommendations as to pick up and drop off requirements
during the trial period.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Commission consideration concerning the use of pedi-cabs for special
events and a trial period.

following conclusions:
The Board recommended that pedi-cabs be used for special events only. They also

Dear Jay,
As you know, Project Graduation is a program to provide graduating seniors with an
alcohol/drug free celebration On their "special" night, which will be June 6th this year.
Unfortunately, our committee was not formed in time to request a grant from the City of
Delray Beach during the budgeting process. Therefore, Dave Harden advised the school
in October that there was no funding provided in the special activities budget for this
activity. Regretfully, this was not called to my attention until a month ago.
To make this event a success in attracting seniors requires adequate funding to provide
the appealing wholesome activities they would enjoy, with attractive door prizes and an
inexpensive sign up fee.
Last year this event was not held as the committee failed to raise adequate funds to
support it at a reasonable price to the seniors and their guests.
We do not want this to recur and we urgently need financial support from the City.
Your assistance in finding funding for this year's program will mean a great deal to our
students. Many do not have the means to have their own private parties, and would like
to have one last celebration with their friends, without alcohol and drugs.
In addition to the City's contribution, maybe the members of the City Commission, who
are not being opposed in this year's election, could contribute some of their war chest to
this worthy causel

SPECIAL EVENT REOUEST - IRISH CELEBRATION
DATE: February 25, 1998
Action
City Commission is requested to approve a temporary use permit per LDR's Section
2.4.6(H) for use of City rights of way on Railroad Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to N.E. 1st
S~reet, provide staff support per the attached request, and to waive LDR's Section
4.6.7(C)(5)(a) to allow event signage to be placed more than one week prior to the event for
an Irish Celebration to be held on March 14, 1998 from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Ocean City
Lumber.
Background
We have received a request (attached) from Janet Onnen to close Railroad Avenue, provide
staff support and to allow event signage to be placed in rights of way prior to one week for
an Irish Celebration which will be held in conjunction with the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Police security will be provided at the detail rate by the event sponsor. They will also pay
for overtime costs to barricade Railroad Avenue and for signage costs. Police security costs
at the detail rate are estimated to be $360 and overtime for barricading the streets and sign
costs are estimated at approximately $150. The event sponsors will also provide site
cleanup and port-o-lets. Signs have been requested at the following locations: Atlantic
Avenue at 1-95, Linton Boulevard at 1-95, and at Atlantic Avenue and Railroad Avenue. I
do not think we can put a regular event sign up at Atlantic and Railroad Avenue due to the
lack of space in the City rights of way.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the temporary use permit, approval of staff support to be
paid for by the event sponsor, and approval of the sign waiver with staff to determine
feasibility of putting up a sign at Atlantic Avenue and Railroad Avenue. Recommend that
signs be put up between 3/4 and 3/6.

FROM: CITY MANAGER
IN-LIEU OF PARKING AGREEMENT/JAVA BEAN JUNCTION
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 1998
The attached in-lieu of parking agreement is proposed for Java
Bean Junction, a coffee shop with indoor seating planning to
locate within the easternmost bay at 1136 East Atlantic Avenue
(southwest corner of Atlantic and Bronson Avenues). Two parking
spaces are required. Due to site constraints, the applicant is
unable to provide the parking on-site.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(E) (3), in the event on-site parking
is not feasible, the City Commission may approve an in-lieu of
parking fee agreement. The applicant has requested the in-lieu
fee option for two parking spaces for a total of $12,000.00. The
proposed agreement requires the payment of $6,000.00 upon approval
by the City Commission and two annual installments of $3,000.00
each.
Both the CRA and the Parking Management Advisory Board reviewed
the request and expressed concerns about entering into such an
agreement with a business tenant as opposed to the property owner.
They recommended that either the entire fee be paid up front or
that alternate arrangements be made as outlined in the attached
staff report.
While staff shares the concerns, it is noted that the proposed
agreement is for a relatively short term (to be completely paid
off in two years), with half of the amount due immediately upon
approval. In view of this, the risk appears to be comparable to,
or less than, that involved with entering into an agreement with
the property owner.
Recommend approval of the in-lieu of parking fee agreement with
Java Bean Junction.

PARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING
FROM: /JASMIN ALLEN, PLANNER
SUBJECT: MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1998
APPROVAL OF AN IN-LIEU PARKING FEE PAYMENT AGREEMENT FOR
JAVA BEAN JUNCTION, INC., 1136 EAST ATLANTIC AVENUE
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of East Atlantic Avenue and Bronson
Avenue (1136 East Atlantic Avenue), within the Central Business District (CBD). It contains a
one story building constructed in 1950. The structure houses five bays which have previously
accommodated retail uses. The development proposal is allow the establishment of a coffee
shop with indoor seating within the easternmost bay which currently contains 1680 sq. ft.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(G)(1)d), the parking requirement for restaurants is established
at six (6) spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. The proposed change in use from retail to restaurant will
require the provision of three (3) parking spaces. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13(G)(1)(b),
when parking requirements are applied to new developments or a change of use, said parking
requirement can be reduced by one (1) parking space on a one time basis. After reducing that
space in accordance with this code section, two (2) parking spaces are required for the
proposed use.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3), if it is impossible or inappropriate to provide the required
number of on-site parking spaces, the City Commission may approve the payment of an in-lieu
fee. The in-lieu fee may be paid at one time or in installments. Installment payments may be
made over a nine year period in ten payments. The in-lieu fee option is authorized only in the
CBD, OSSHAD and GC (West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District) zoning districts. Due to site
constraints, the in-lieu fee option was requested for two parking spaces for a total of $12,000
($6,000 per parking space x 2 required parking spaces = $12, 000).
The applicant has entered into a seven year lease with the property owner and has requested
that she be allowed to enter into an installment payment program. The attached agreement is
for a relatively shod term. It requires the payment of $6,000.00 upon the approval by the City
Commission and two annual installments of $3,000.00.

Java Bean Junction, Inc. - In-Lieu Fee Payment Agreement Approval
Page 2
On December 18, 1997, the CRA Board reviewed the proposed agreement. They also had
concerns over entering into an agreement with a tenant, and recommended that either the
entire fee be paid up front, or that an agreement for installment payments be made with the
property owner.
On February 18, 1998, the Parking Management Advisory Board reviewed the request. The
Board expressed concerns about the limited availability of off-site parking in the beach area,
and questioned whether or not the in-lieu option should be exercised. The Board also
expressed reservations about entering into this agreement with a business tenant as opposed
to the property owner. After some discussion, the Board recommended approval of the
agreement, but wanted the terms to be changed to require that either the full fee is paid up front
or the fee for one parking space is paid immediately and a letter of credit obtained for the
second parking space.
Staff shares the concerns expressed by the CRA and PMAB as to entering into an agreement
with a business tenant. However, the attached agreement is for a very short term (to be
completely paid off in two years), and half of the payment is due immediately. In this case, the
risk of nonpayment seems comparable to, or less than, that entailed by entering into a 10-year
agreement with a property owner.
By motion, approve the attached in-lieu payment agreement of $12,000.00 for Java Bean
Junction, Inc.

FROM: Susan A. Ruby, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Constitutional Revision Co~ission (CRC) Consideration of Changes to
Sovereign I~unity
Enclosed is a resolution opposing changes in the Constitution regarding Sovereign
I~unity currently being considered by the Constitutional Revision Co~ission (CRC).
It is my understanding that ~endment No. 6 to Proposal 59 will be considered at a
public hearing to be held at Nova University, Hall Auditorium, 3200 South University
Drive, Davie, Florida at 8:00 a.m., Friday, March 6, 1998, and other places t~oughout
the state.
The previous proposed changes to the Constitution regarding Sovereign Immunity were
defeated by a 15-16 vote of the CRC. To pass a proposal needs 22 votes. The current
proposal is apparently being urged for consideration by the Chairman of the CRC,
Dexter Douglas, a trial lawyer. To defeat the new proposal, it may be helpful to contact
CRC members (see attached).
The following is a list of objections to Amendment No. 6 to Proposal 59:
1. Local governments currently have complete immunity for discretionary/planning
level decisions. The proposal would eliminate sovereign immunity for discretionary/
planning level decisions (i.e., the decision as to whether to place lifeguards at the
beach during certain hours; whether to put a traffic light at an intersection; whether
to place sidewalks in certain areas).
2. It would increase City liability for torts arising from operational/maintenance
decisions (i.e., failure to repair sidewalks (slip and falls), auto accidents, and other
injuries arising from torts) which currently are capped by general law at $100,000.00
per claim, $200,000.00 per occurrence.

3. The Proposal places in the Constitution a requirement that claims exceeding the
sovereign immunity cap (now currently $100,000.00) up to $500,000.00 must go to
arbitration. This requirement adds another layer of bureaucracy and expense and
may result in potential conflicts with jury verdicts by arbitrators.
4. The language of the proposed revision is too specific for the Constitution.
Legislation which contains this level of detail is best if included in general law, so
that changes will not require a constitutional amendment in the future.
5. The increased costs will be borne by taxpayers. The proposal is an unfunded state
mandate that may necessitate increases in taxes.
P~ would like to discuss this matter further.

RESOLUTION NO. 17-98
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, OPPOSING THE PROPOSAL BEFORE
THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION COMMISSION REGARDING
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of Florida, Article
X, Section 3, now provides that general law applies as it relates to
bringing suit against the State and other Governmental entities; and
WHEREAS, general law currently waives sovereign immunity for
torts arising from the operational activities of local governments in
the amount of $100,000.00 per claimant, with a total of $200,000.00
per occurrence; and
WHEREAS, the Constitutional Revision Commission recently
rejected Proposal 59 which would have raised the sovereign immunity
limit to $250,000.00 per claim and $500,000.00 per occurrence,
indexing the limit to inflation, and placing attorney's fees outside
of the sovereign immunity cap, and Proposal 77 which would have
totally abrogated sovereign immunity; and
WHEREAS, the Constitutional Revision Commission is now
considering Amendment No. 6 to Proposal 59 amending the Constitution,
which provides for a waiver of sovereign immunity to permit
arbitration of claims between $500,000.00 and the sovereign immunity
cap amount set by general law (currently $100,000.00 per claim or
$200,000.00 per occurrence); and
WHEREAS, Amendment No. 6 to Proposal 59 provides that the
caps set forth in general law may be increased; and
WHEREAS, the proposed change to the Constitution would
eliminate the sovereign immunity of governments as to planning level
decisions; and
WHEREAS, the proposed change in the Constitution adds
another layer of adjudication through arbitration of claims over the
current sovereign immunity cap that may already have been adjudicated
at trial; and
WHEREAS, the proposed language effectively grafts specific
legislative language into the Constitution, requiring a Constitutional
amendment in the future to vary the monetary limits contained in the
proposed revision; and
WHEREAS, a change to the Constitution is not necessary to
change or amend the parameters of sovereign immunity, as set forth in
general law; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach
finds that the proposal now before the Constitutional Revision
Commission, if passed, will result in an unfunded state mandate; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach
opposes the amendment to Proposal 59 and any other constitutional
changes affecting sovereign immunity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City of Delray Beach opposes Amendment
No. 6 to Proposal 59 being considered by the Constitutional Revision
Commission, set forth as Attachment "A" hereto.
Section 2. That the City of Delray Beach opposes any change
to The Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity by Constitutional Amendment.
Section 3. The City Commission of the City of Delray Beach
urges other local governments to adopt a resolution opposing
modification of the Constitution as it relates to The Doctrine of
Sovereign Immunity.
Section 4. That copies of this resolution are authorized to
be provided to appropriate officials.
Section 5. That this resolution shall take effect
immediately upon passage.
PASSED AND ADOPTED in regular session on this the 3rd day of
March, 1998.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF FEBRUARY 17, 1998
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO DESIGNATE THE
PRICE HOUSE, 1109 SEA SPRAY AVENUE TO
THE LOCAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES.
The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading
of an ordinance designating the Price House to the Local Register of Historic
Places.
BA~KGR:O~ND J
The Price House, designed by noted Delray Beach architect Samuel Ogren, Sr.,
was constructed in '1935. Designed in the Monterey style, it conforms to the
features of the style as described in the Delray Beach Design Guidelines. The
Price House is a two story single family residence of frame construction with a
symmetric facade, cross gabled roof, and a combination of clapboard and batten
and board exterior. Many of the original wood sash windows remain as do the
historically correct wood shutters on the second story. Two balconies with wood
railings flank the center bay and brick chimney of the second floor front facade.
The house was originally located at §26 North Ocean Boulevard. Built for Mr.
and Mrs. E.A. Price, the family retained ownership until it was acquired and
relocated to '1'109 Sea Spray Avenue by the new owner, Carl Steven Hayes.
Development pressures and escalating land prices on Ocean Boulevard were
the determining factors which resulted in the need to either demolish or relocate
the structure. Fortunately, for the City's historic structures inventory, the latter
occurred.
City Commission Documentation
Price House Historic Status
Page 2
The Price House was designed by Delray Beach's first and most prolific
registered architect, Samuel Ogren, Sr. He was apprenticing in the West Palm
Beach architectural firm of William Manley King in 1924 when he designed his
first building in Delray, a single family residence at 704 N. Swinton Avenue.
Delray Beach officials, impressed with the design, offered him the position of City
Architect. Mr. Ogren accepted and moved his practice and family to Delray
Beach in 1924 to begin a career which provided the City with more than 250
structures. Among his more notable commissions in the City are the High
School and Gymnasium, both listed in the National Register; the Arcade Tap
Room; and the Marine Villas.
The Price House is significant for its architecture; it represents one of the finest
examples of the Monterey style in the City. The house is essentially unaltered
and many of its original architectural elements remain intact, taken as a whole
these features greatly enhance the historic fabric and significance of the house.
The Price House is zoned R-AAA. The legal description is as follows:
Lot 11, Sea Spray Estates, Plat Book 21, Page 15, of the Public Records
of Palm Beach County.
The request for designation was initiated by the owner, Carl Steven Hayes.
Additional background and analysis is provided in the attached designation
Report.
The Historic Preservation Board considered this item at a Public Hearing on
February 4, 1998. After discussion, the Board voted unanimously to recommend
historic designation to the City Commission.
By motion, approve the ordinance designating the Price House, 1109 Sea Spray
Avenue, to the Local Register of Historic Places.

III. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
The Price House was originally located at 526 North Ocean Boulevard. The
legal description of the original site was as follows: Revised plat of Blocks D &
E, Palm Beach Shore Acres, Lots 6 & West of State Road A-l-A, less the west
200 feet of Block E. A map of the original location is included in Chapter VI,
Bibliography and Sources. The house was relocated due to development
pressures and escalating land prices on Ocean Boulevard.
The Price house was designed in the Monterey style by architect Samuel Ogren,
Sr. and was constructed in 1935. The Monterey style was adapted from the
Spanish Colonial and American territorial period architecture of northern
California. The original buildings combined stucco exterior with traditional
wooden elements of New England style which were brought to California by
settlers from the eastern United States. The style gained revival status in
California in the 1920s and its popularity spread, mainly through the southern
United States, during the late 20s and the 1930s.
The most distinguishing characteristic of the Monterey style is the "second story
balcony (which is) usually cantilevered and covered by the principal roof.''~ In
Ogren's plan the design feature is repeated in an unusual double balcony on the
front facade which is separated by a symmetrical central block with brick
chimney. The balconies have simple wooden detailing typical of the Colonial
influence, beneath the left balcony is a porte cochere. Upon review of an historic
photograph of the Price House the railings were originally decorative wrought
iron.2 Additional details which appear in the photograph but are no longer
present are ornate wrought iron transoms above the ground floor windows.
The Price House is a two story wood frame structure with two one-story areas
located to the rear. The Iow pitched roof is cross gabled; the window treatment
is generally symmetrical. The first story exterior is sheathed in horizontal
clapboard, the second story is vertical batten and board.
A brick chimney, flanked by windows on the first and second floors, is a focal
point of the front facade. The front entry features a modest wood door surround.
The majority of the windows throughout the house are 6/6 and 6/1 double hung
sash and are flanked by wood shutters. The shutters are historically correct on
the second story but not on the first. Rear windows have been replaced with
aluminum awning windows. The original front windows on the first floor have
been replaced with fixed glass panes.

Alfred A. Knopf, 1988), p. 431-433.

Designed", Delray Beach Historical Society.
The rear entry has a unique glazed tile baseboard. Along a wall near the rear
entrance is a stone fountain set within a framework using the same blue and
yellow tile. Architect Ogren was known to enjoy tile work and used it frequently as
finishing details to his designs?
A review of building records for the City of Delray Beach reveals that remodeling
occurred in 1937 and repairs from fire damage were completed in 1976. Few
changes have been made to the intedor and extedor of the house. A description
of the Monterey style found on page 20 of the "Design Guidelines for Historic
Places: A Preservation Manual" compiled by the Historic Preservation Board in
1990 for Delray Beach uses a sketch of the Price House as a good example of the
style.
Section 4.5.1(B)(3) of the City of Delray Beach LDRs outlines the criteria for
determining the architectural and aesthetic significance of historic structures.
Listed below are criteda which relate to this property, and justification for
designation:
(b) "Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style,
period, or method of construction."
The Price House is a good example of the Monterey style of architecture. It has a
distinct cantilevered balcony which adapted well to the Florida climate. The house
was designed by Samuel Ogren, Sr. during the Depression years of the 1930s
sometimes called the "Golden Age" for Delray Beach. While the style was quite
popular with South Florida's resort communities, most notably the Town of Palm
Beach, only six Monterey style residences were cited within the Delray Beach
Histodc Sites Survey of 1987. Presently there is only one designated Monterey
style structure in Delray Beach. The Pdce House cleady fulfills criteria (b) for
listing in the Local Register of Historic Places.
(c) "Is a historic or outstanding work of a prominent architect, designer,
landscape architect, or builder."
The single family Price House is a notable work of prominent architect Samuel
Ogren Sr. who was selected as Delray Beach's first "City Architect" in 1924.
Ogren, who had no formal training, designed over 250 houses between 1924 and
1950. His most recognizable works were the Arcade Tap Room and Delray Beach
High School. He also designed two Mediterranean Revival style houses on Delray
Beach's Bankers Row. Ogren was considered a key architect in the development
of Delray Beach's resort style. In 1935 he created the Better Housing Office "to
provide quality craftsmen, masons, artisans" in Delray Beach.4 Because the Price
House was designed by Ogren it cleady fulfills cdteda (c) for listing in the Local
Register of Historic Places.

IV. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
During the 19308 Delray Beach experienced the world-wide Depression in a
unique manner. The period from 1933 through 1941 was considered a "Golden
Age" for this small beachfront community.5 Popular artists, writers, poets and
socialites maintained winter homes in Delray Beach. The social hub of this "Artists'
Colony" was the Arcade Tap Room. Celebrities ranged from popular cartoonist,
Fontaine Fox, to acclaimed poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay.8
As Delray Beach's reputation grew so did the number of winter visitors. By 1934,
1500 people filled the eight local hotels and guest quarters, greatly adding to the
full time population of 2800 residents.7 Hotels, clubs, shops, a madna and polo
grounds provided entertainment for these seasonal visitors.
Prominent South Florida architects were actively creating a resort style architecture
that reflected the lively lifestyles of both the seasonal and permanent residents.
Samuel Ogren Sr., Delray Beach's City Architect, provided leadership when he
created a Better Housing Office which contributed to the high quality of
construction by supplying trained craftsmen to the building trade.
Ogren designed more than 250 houses in Delray Beach between 1924 and 1950.
While his eadier designs were in the popular Mediterranean Revival style and
Mission style his commission in the mid 19308 for Mrs. Edwin A. Pdce was in the
Monterey style.8 The Price property extended from two small oceanfront lots east
of State Road A-1-A to a large double parcel over 400 feet deep on the west side
of A-1-A. Some of the homeowners along this portion of A-1-A constructed
cabanas or small chickees on their oceanfront properties. Seminole Indians were
employed to construct replicas of their traditional chickees. It is not known whether
the Price family had such an oceanfront facility.
The earliest available Delray Beach City Directory describes Mrs. Price as
"Margaret, widow of E.A. Price."9 It is unknown when Edwin A. Pdce died. The
given address for the original location of the Pdce residence in the directory is 611
North Ocean Boulevard. A bold O next to Mrs. Price's name denoted ownership of
the property. The 1953 City Directory gives the Price address as 616 North Ocean
Boulevard. It was a common practice to change house address numbers by either
city or fire department officials. The Price family retained ownership of this
property until it was acquired and relocated by the new owner, Cad Steven Hayes.

Section 4.5.1(B)(2) of the City of Delray Beach LDRs outlines the criteria for
determining the historical and cultural significance of a property. Listed below are
the criteria which relate to this property and justification for designation:
(d)"Exemplifies the historical, political, cultural, economic, or social trends
of the community in history."
The Pdce House exemplifies the development of the City of Delray Beach during
its "Golden Age." The Depression was a decade of economic difficulties
throughout the United States but Delray Beach was able to adapt to those difficult
times by developing a resort community and artists' colony that provided an
environment for continued economic growth. The "Golden Age" attracted seasonal
visitors who helped stimulate local businesses. While it is not known what
professional or social positions were held by the Price family the size and original
location of their residence indicates a high degree of prosperity.
V. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The Monterey style house located at 1109 Sea Spray Avenue is significant as an
example of the work of prominent local architect, Samuel Ogren, Sr. Ogren was
the first City Architect for Delray Beach. His work included the Delray Beach High
School and the popular Arcade Tap Room. This oceanfront residence reflects
Ogren's work dudng the height of Delray Beach's "Golden Age" when the City
developed into a popular and successful resort community despite a nationwide
Depression.
It should be noted that there is only one individual designation of a Monterey style
building within Delray Beach; a relocated residence within the Old School Square
District, which now serves as the Judge Knott Center for Historic Preservation.
Resettling histodc buildings is "sometimes necessary as the nature of many
odginal sites has been impacted.''~° The Monterey style is recognized as
contributing to the appeal of Delray Beach as a winter resort community.
The designation of the Price House as a local historic structure would result in the
recognition of this residence as an important element of the architectural and
cultural development of Delray Beach.

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM #/~P- REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 3, 19.98
ORDINANCE NO. 11-98 (ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES)
DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 1998
This is second reading and a public hearing for Ordinance No. 11-98
which amends Section 113.02, "Prohibition of Consumption of Alcoholic
Beverages in Public Places" The code currently provides that it is
a violation to consume an alcoholic beverage while in the public
right-of-way. However, possession of an alcoholic beverage in an
open container is not addressed and the court has taken the position
that it is not a violation of our ordinances. Ordinance No. 11-98
will make it a violation to possess an open container of alcohol in
the public right-of-way.
The current ordinance grants an exception to patrons of the Delray
Beach Municipal Golf Course regarding consumption of alcohol. The
new ordinance will continue to grant the exception to patrons of the
Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course regarding consumption of alcohol
or possession of an open alcoholic container as well as extending the
exception to patrons of the Lakeview Golf Course. The new ordinance
also provides that patrons attending a special event at the Tennis
Center will also be excluded from the provisions of this new
ordinance. Special events at Old School Square are already exempted
under the current code.
At first reading on February 17, 1998, the Commission passed the
proposed ordinance by a vote of 4 to 1 (Mr. Randolph dissenting).
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 11-98 on second and final

SUBJECT: MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1998
AMENDMENT TO LDR SECTION 4.4.13, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT,
RESTRICTING SECOND HAND SALES ON N.E. 2ND AVE. (PINEAPPLE
GROVE WAY)
This amendment was initiated by the City Commission at the meeting of February 17, 1998, at
the request of the Pineapple Grove Main Street organization. The Commission directed the
Planning & Zoning Board to consider prohibiting second hand sales altogether in the subject
area, or allowing them as a conditional use. The attached P & Z Board staff report provides a
description and analysis of those alternatives.
The Board held a public hearing on this item on February 23, 1998. There was considerable
public comment both in favor of and opposed to the amendment. After a lengthy discussion,
the Board voted 5-1 to recommend approval of Alternative "B", which would allow the sale of
second hand material other than verifiable antiques on Pineapple Grove Way as a conditional
use.
While two alternatives were presented to the Planning and Zoning Board, the only amendment
that was advertised for the City Commission hearing was Pineapple Grove Main Street's
odginal request, which would prohibit secondhand sales on N.E. 2nd Avenue altogether.
Therefore, if the City Commission wishes to follow the Planning and Zoning Board's
recommendation and allow secondhand sales as a conditional use, the ordinance will have to
be readvertised, and another first reading will have to be held on March 17th.

AGENDA ITEM: VI.C AMENDMENT TO LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
SECTION 4.4.13(H)(1), CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT,
RESTRICTING SECOND HAND SALES ON N.E. 2ND AVE.
(PINEAPPLE GROVE WAY)
The item before the Board is consideration of an amendment to the Land Development
Regulations that would further restrict the sale of second hand merchandise and
materials in the Central Business District. The affected LDR section is 4.4.13 (H)(1),
Central Business District. Special Regulations.
Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, amendments to the Land Development Regulations shall not
be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
This LDR amendment was initiated by the City Commission at its meeting of February
17, 1998, at the request of the Pineapple Grove Main Street organization (see attached
letter from PGMS Program Manager Tom Fleming).
Currently within the CBD, the sale of second hand merchandise, other than verifiable
antiques, is prohibited within businesses which have an entry from and/or windows
along Atlantic Avenue. The requested amendment would extend that prohibition to
N.E. 2nd Avenue, also known as Pineapple Grove Way.
Restrictions on second hand sales in the CBD date back to October 1990, when the
new Land Development Regulations were originally adopted. The restriction was
added to the CBD regulations at the request of the Downtown Development Authority,
whose members had expressed concern over certain uses that were permitted in the
district. Originally the restriction applied to all properties located between N.E. 1st and
S.E. 1st Streets. In November of 1990, AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Assault)
leased a building located in the first block of S.E. 4th Avenue for use as a thrift store.
AVDA intended to raise funds for its programs through the sale of donated second hand
merchandise at this location. After being informed that the use was not permitted at the
P & Z Board Staff Report
LDR Amendment re: Second Hand Sales in the CBD
Page 2
proposed location, they asked that the LDRs be amended, or that an exception be
made for their store. After meetings with the DDA, the Planning and Zoning Board,
and the City Commission, the LDRs were amended in December of 1990 to prohibit
secondhand sales only within buildings facing Atlantic Avenue.
The Main Street Program is in the process of adopting its Neighborhood Plan. The plan
calls for Pineapple Grove Way to become a venue for the cultural arts, and emphasizes
the importance of the character of this street in achieving the economic development
objectives for the Main Street area. The sale of secondhand merchandise is one of
several uses that the group wants to limit or prohibit in the program area. The purpose
of the request is to prevent a proliferation of thrift and consignment shops on Pineapple
Grove Way, which is considered to be the "signature street" of the Main Street area.
Requests for additional LDR amendments will be forwarded to the City Commission and
the Planning and Zoning Board in the future.
As proposed, the amendment would prohibit the use entirely within any business which
has an entry from and/or windows along, and/or frontage on N.E. 2nd Avenue, between
East Atlantic Avenue and N.E. 4th Street. This language is consistent with the existing
restriction that applies to Atlantic Avenue. At the City Commission meeting of February
17, Commissioner Egan suggested an alternative approach that would continue to
allow second hand sales, but as a conditional rather than a permitted use. This
alternative would provide an opportunity to review each application on an individual
basis, and apply conditions that would help to mitigate the impacts of the use.
Conditional use approval requires a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning
Board, and final approval by the City Commission.
There is a basis for considering restrictions on the use of second hand sales. In
observing several of the second hand and consignment shops throughout town, there is
a wide discrepancy in appearance and operation that is not typical of retail
establishments dealing in new merchandise. Particularly in the case of establishments
dealing with donated goods, the main attraction for customers is the extremely Iow price
of the items, and little attention is paid to creating attractive window displays or
improving the exterior appearance of the buildings. Interior displays are often
disheveled and disorganized. Rear drop-off areas sometimes go unattended for long
periods, with merchandise piling up or getting blown about in windy conditions. These
conditions are inconsistent with the goals of the Main Street program to eliminate
blighted areas, facilitate economic stimulation and investment, and improve the
marketability of area establishments.
P & Z Board Staff Report
LDR Amendment re: Second Hand Sales in the CBD
Page 3
There are two policies contained in the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan which provide a further basis for regulation of this use. Policy C-
4.1 states that the zoning district regulations for the Central Business District shall
facilitate and encourage rehabilitation and revitalization, and shall address the "deletion
of inappropriate uses." Policy C-4.4 states that the City supports the efforts to revitalize
the Pineapple Grove Main Street area, and the use of the Main Street approach
(organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring).
Two alternative LDR amendments are included as attachments to this report. The first
includes the language suggested by Pineapple Grove Main Street, and would prohibit
second hand sales altogether (except for existing establishments). The second would
continue to allow them in this area as a conditional use.
A. Continue with direction.
B. Recommend approval of Alternative Amendment "A", which prohibits the sale of
second hand material other than verifiable antiques on N.E. 2nd Avenue
Pineapple Grove Way).
C. Recommend aproval of Alternative Amendment "B", which allows the sale of
second hand material other than verifiable antiques on N.E. 2nd Avenue
(Pineapple Grove Way) as a conditional use.
D. Deny the proposed amendment(s).
Discuss the proposed alternatives and by motion, recommend that the City Commission
restrict the sale of second hand sales through adoption of one of the proposed
alternative amendments to LDR Section 4.4.13, Central Business District, as attached.

Diane Dominguez, Planning Director
City of Delray Beach
100 NW 1'~ Ave.
Delray Beach, FL 33444
Dear Ms. Dominguez:
This letter transmits our request for an amendment to Section 4.4.13(G)(2), subsection (H)(1),
of the City's Land Development Regulations (LDRs), as more fully described below.
BACKGROUND
During its regular meeting of January 14, 1998, the Board of Directors of Pineapple Grove
Main Street, Inc. (PGMS), approved and adopted the final draft of its Neighborhood Plan
for 'Main Street' in the Grove (the "Plan") for delivery to local authorities. A copy of the
Plan is enclosed. The Board directed its Program Manager to schedule presentations to the
Delray Beach City Commission, Commllrlity Redevelopment Agency, and Downtown
Development Authority at their earliest convenience. At the time of presentation, the
respective authorities will be asked to accept the Plan and work with PGMS to formulate
budgets and implementation schedules.
The Plan is a product of two years' work by hundreds of individuals, beginniag with a
public Planning and Design Charrette, conducted March 1" and 2'~, 1996, and culminating
with last month's Board meeting. It represents considerable community input and is intended
to facilitate the realization of the community's vision for Pineapple Grove.
Overall, the Plan is intended to accomplish several objectives in Pineapple Grove for the
benefit of the neighborhood, the downtown area, and the City of Delray Beach as a whole,
among which are the following.
Attract the cultural arts
Provide additional neighborhood shopping, ente 'rtamment, and educational oppommifies.
· Improve environmental conditions.
· Increase pedestrian traffic/activity.
Calm the flow of vehicular traffic.
· Eliminate blighted conditions.
· Provide a catalyst for future development.
· Facilitate economic stimulation and investment.
· Improve marketability.
· Create jobs.
· Increase nighttime activity.
Provide housing opportunities.
· Increase the availability of parking.
Fax (561) 279~108 Plsone (561) 279-9952
We are reviewing the City's Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to locate and address any
that might bear on the effectiveness of the Plan and realization of the vision. The proposal
transmitted by this letter addresses our highest priorities for Pineapple Grove Way, specifically,
(1) creating an environment that encourages the cultural arts, and (2) strengthening the
economic vitality of the "Main Street" Program Area.
PROPOSED AME~~
We recommend the following amendment to LDR Section 4.4.13(O)(2), as follows (deletions
are identified by r,~, and additions by underline):
(H) Special Regulations: '
(1) The sale of second hand material, other than verifiable antiques, shall not be
allowed within businesses~ nor on properties, which have an entry from and/or
windows along and/or frontage on East Atlantic Avenue or NE 2"d Avenue (a/k/a
Pineapple Grove Way) between East Atlantic Avenue and NE 4'~ Street.
Two so-called thrift/second-hand stores are presently located on Pineapple Grove Way. Both
are good businesses and welcomed neighbors. If our understanding is correct, the proposed
amendment will not affect these businesses as long they continue to operate in their present
locations. Instead, they would become non-conforming uses meaning that should their locations
cease to operate as thrift/second-hand stores for six or more months, the amended LDR would
then apply. It is not our intention to limit the two existing businesses, but rather affect any new
businesses looking at Pineapple Grove Way as potential locations.
The Plan addresses several other uses considered inappropriate for Pineapple Grove Way. We
will continue our research of the LDRs and communicate with you regarding additional
proposals for amendments as they arise.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider the above. Please call us (279-9952) at
your earliest convenience to discuss the matter.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER ~.~
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM #/~- REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1998
ORDINANCE NO. 13-98 (TEMPORARY PARKING LOTS)
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 1998
This is first reading for Ordinance No. 13-98 which amends LDR
Section 2.4.6(H), "Temporary Use Permits", to allow temporary
parking lots in certain areas when approved by the City
Commission. The concept behind the amendment was suggested by the
Parking Management Team last year as a means to address the
growing demand for parking downtown.
The temporary parking lots would be permitted only in specified
sections of the Central Business District, in the Community
Facilities (CF) District bounded on the west by Swinton Avenue, on
the east by the Intracoastal Waterway, N.E. 2nd Street on the
north and S.E. 2nd Street on the south, and in portions of the
non-residential zoning districts between Swinton Avenue and 1-95.
Parking provided through these lots would be supplemental and
could not be used to fulfill minimum off-street parking
requirements. They would not be held to the strict design
standards required for parking lots, but would have to meet
certain specifications.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the amendment at a public
hearing on January 26, 1998, and voted unanimously to recommend
approval subject to two modifications which have been incorporated
into the proposed ordinance.
Additional comments have been received from the Downtown
Development Authority and the Parking Management Advisory Board,
which are set out in the attached addendum to staff documentation.
Items 2. and 3. need to be addressed by the City Commission, with
direction on whether or not to amend the proposed ordinance.
Recommend consideration of Ordinance No. 13-98 on first reading.
If passed, a public hearing will be scheduled for March 17, 1998.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1998
LDR AMENDMENT ALLOWING TEMPORARY PARKING LOTS TO BE
PERMITTED WITHIN CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE CBD AND PORTIONS OF
THE NON-RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS BETWEEN SWINTON AVENUE
AND 1-95.
1. There was an oversight in the description of the area where temporary lots could be
permitted. Section 2.4.6 (H)(7)(3)(d)(1) should have also included the CF district
between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway. The first bullet in this section
should read as follows:
· the portion of the Central Business District (CBD) and Community Facilities
District (CF) which is bounded by Swinton Avenue on the West, the Intracoastal
Waterway on the east, NE 2nd Street on the north and SE 2nd Street on the
south.
The ordinance has already been amended to include this change. A map has also been
attached to show the total area where temporary lots could be permitted.
2. The DDA has made an additional comment to the proposed ordinance. The Board feels
that it is a hardship to require covering or removal of the rock base and resodding or
landscaping of temporary parking lots upon expiration of the permit. Section 2.4.6
(H)7(3)(d)7 reads as follows:
7. Within thirty (30) days of expiration of the permit, all rock or gravel surfaces shall
either be removed or covered with top soil. The site shall then be sodded or
landscaped as determined acceptable by the Planning and Zoning Department.
If the Commission concurs with this comment, Section 2.4.6 (H)(7)(3)(d)(7) should be
eliminated.
3. The Parking Management Advisory Board has also made an additional comment to the
proposed ordinance. The Board would like the option of utilizing a 4 feet high opaque
fence to screen the parking lot removed.
If the Commission concurs with this comment, Section 2.4.6 (H)(7)(3)(d)(8)(e) should
be amended to read as follows:
e. The parking lot perimeter shall be buffered with a minimum 3 feet wide
landscape strip, screened with a minimum 2 feet high hedge--e~-.4-fee-t--hi~h
,,~,~,,~ ....... *,,.,,,,,.. Water for irrigation shall be available within fifty (50) feet of all
landscaped areas.

I
BACKGROUND
Last year, the Parking Management Team recommended that the Land Development
Regulations be amended to allow the use of vacant lots for temporary parking in the Central
Business District. There are currently no such provisions in the code. Current regulations
require that all parking lots within the City must meet standard design specifications. This usually
consists of an asphalt surface over a shellrock or limerock base, drainage, striping, lighting, etc.
In many cases, downtown business owners wish to provide additional parking (not required by
code) to help meet the growing demand, but the costs of meeting the design standards is
beyond their means. In other cases, they are able to make arrangements with other property
owners to use their land for parking, but the owners do not want to make significant
improvements to the property because their long term plans may call for a different use.
This amendment will allow additional parking to be provided more economically with a surface of
crushed rock, gravel or mulch and minimal landscaping. These lots will provide supplemental
parking. They may not be used to fulfill minimum off-street parking requirements. As the City
and CRA phase in more public spaces and the private sector provides additional permanent
spaces, the use of these temporary lots will be phased out.
The proposed amendment furthers Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element Policy C-4.1,
in that it encourages rehabilitation and revitalization in the downtown area by providing a means
to accommodate additional parking needs.

Parkin(~ Manaqement Team
At its meeting of January 21, 1998, the Parking Management Team voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the amendment, with the following comments:
· Annual permit extensions should be reviewed by the Parking Management Advisory Board.
The language should be made clearer on this point.
· Pursuant to comments made by the City Engineer, the rock base should be increased from 2
inches to 4 inches in depth to support the proposed loads.
· Verify requirements pertaining to Florida Accessibility Code.
· Temporary lots should also be allowed in the CBD, east of the Intracoastal Waterway and
between NE 2'd Avenue and the railroad in Pineapple Grove.
· Instead of removing the rock base prior to landscaping after a parking lot is discontinued,
just cover the rock with top soil and landscape over the stabilized surface
