JUNE 9, 1998 (WORKSHOP)
Report from Planning and Zoning staff and Urban Design Studios on the Large
Home Issue.

requested, bu~ to date nothing/has been done. Ms. Speer stated
that the C~y paid professyonal planners $25,000 to address
issues on ~9~rth Federal High~ay. These professionals highlighted
the traffic problems on ~96d Way and suggested traffic calming
devices with an illustra~on of how it should look. The resi-
dents want the needed improvements, but now the City wants to
spend even more money on a traffic count in July or August to get
a true picture of the situation before anything will be done.
Ms. Speer stated that professionals have already looked at the
situation and suggested a solution, and the residents have signed
a petition in favor of speed humps. She felt their installation
should be made a top priority as all of Delray's residents
deserve to have safe streets in front of their homes.
At this point, the Commission moved to Item 13 on the
agenda.
13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-A~enda Items.
13.A. City Manaqer.
In response to the inquiry about some homeless people
in the ~rricane Pines scrub parcel on the south side of S.E.
10th Street, the City Manager reported that the Police Department
did check the area and they were no longer there, although there
was some evidence that people had been there. The Police patrol
that is responsible for this part of the city will be periodical-
ly checking to try to keep the problem from reoccurring and get
in touch with these people to get them in touch with family
members or social agencies that might be able to help them with
their situation.
The City Manager then stated that at this point there
is only one item for the workshop meeting scheduled for next
Tuesday, June 9th. That item is a report from Planning and
Zoning staff and Urban Design Studios on the large home issue.
There is a rehearsal for the All-America City presentation that
same evening which should begin about 6:00 p.m. and which the
Mayor especially needs to attend. The City Manager suggested the
work session for next week be cancelled and the report on the
large home issue be delayed until the July workshop. It was the
consensus of the City Commission to accept the City Manager's
suggestion and cancel the June 9th workshop meeting.
13.B~ C~ty Attorney.
/
The City Attorney stated that Assistant ~ty Attorney
David Tolces will be leaving the City to take another position.
His last day of work will be June 12, 1998. Ms. Ruby publicly
thanked Mr. Tolces for all he has done to support her and for the
excellent work he has done for the City.

MEMORANDUM
TO: David T. Harden, City Manager
FROM: Alison MacGregor Harty, City Cler~
SUBJECT: Aqenda Prep for the June 9th Workshop
DATE: June 1, 1998
There is only one item pending for the June 9th workshop; that
is, a report from Planning and Zoning staff and Urban Design
Studios on the large home issue. At the prep meeting this
morning, Paul Dorling indicated he felt it would take about half
an hour.
Lula mentioned there is a rehearsal scheduled for the All-America
City presentation on June 9th as well, beginning at about 6:00
p.m., and that she needs the Mayor to be present for same
although not necessarily right at 6:00 p.m.
It was suggested that the Commission might want to cancel the
workshop since there is only the one item, plus you will be
absent. Or, go ahead and hold the meeting but keep it to just
the one item at about half an hour so the Mayor will be free
early to attend rehearsal.
Please let me know how you want to proceed. Thanks.
