Church to serve the community; and WllER~AS, Elder J.L. Moore, along with Fagan Henry, George Hannah, Jessie Cole, George Green, Walter Bellamy and their families, met in a small packing house with prayer and determination to build the vision in their hearts for a church; and ~HERE&S, five years later on September 7, 1902, in a small frame building built with their own hands and labor, the Pastor J.A. Livingston held the first board meeting and presided over the first prayer in their new church; and ~HEREAS, because the original parishioners were from many different places, it was agreed to name the church St. PAul A.M.E. in the hope that the church's work would spread and grow as did the work of St. Paul himself; and ~ER~S, St. Paul A.M.E. Church did indeed prosper and a larger building was built next to the church's present site. Although the 1928 Hurricane totally destroyed that building, neither the hurricane nor the great economic depression could long hinder the growth of St. Paul A.M.E. and a new church was soon erected. On May 23, 1947, St. Paul A.M.E. Church was the site of Delray Beach's first interracial meeting dealing with political participation, and was instrumental in 9uidin9 the 19~? Voter Drive; and WHEREAS, in 1989, St. Paul A.M.E. Church was designated as a Local Historic Site and has pursued and completed an a99ressive renovation building program to expand the youth church and adult bible study program. ~O~ TIIERE~ORE, I, ~A¥ AI~PgR~, Mayor of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, on behalf of the City Commission, do hereby recognize the ST. ~L A.M.~. ~ltlJRC~ 100Tlt J~NI~r~RSJkR¥ and wholeheartedly wish the members of the congregation the vision, hope and spirituality needed for the future of their church and community. ~ ~TR~SS WllER~O~, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Official Seal of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, to be affixed this 18th day of November, 1997. MAYOR JAY ALPERIN SEAL ........ ~::_~_O~,T AL,,,,~,,,S MATTERS ~) ' A' ST. PA UL A.M.E. CHURCH'S HERI TA GE 1897- 1996 99 YEARS PASSPORT TO THE FUTURE This 15 minutes dramtization of the 99 year history of the St. Paul A.M.E. Church of Delray Beach was conceived and w~'itten for the Sunday School Delegation to the West Palm Beach District, South Florida Conference, Sunday School Convention, to be presented at Payne Chapel A.M.E. Church, West Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday, June 10, 1980, in the "Local Church Histories" Program, 3:00 - 4:00 p.m., and has been updated to meet the present day needs. In keeping with the convention's theme, Our A.M.E. Heritage - A Journey Into The Past, An Adventure Into The Furure, St Paul A.M.E. Church's Heritage-Passport to the Future is centered around four memorable episodes in its' history, depicting vital elements of a viable church program - spiritual birth, building the temple, developing a strong, invigorating youth program and commiltment to on-going community development. The central figure is the voice, portrayed by a sensitively strong youth, who acts as television newscaster, reporting the unfolding episodes for telecasting. The actors, chosen from the delegation, are cast in roles of those who have fashioned the glorious history that is St. Paul's. Some of them are indeed great heirs of the real "makers" of this history themselves and will be dressed in apparral appropriate for the time when the real events occurred and are occurring. It is for the~ youths, as well as for others, who may not fully appreciate the part played by St. Paul of Delray Beach in the near 200 year saga of the African Methodist Episcopal Church that this dramatization is written.

Church's Heritage 1897 -1996 - 99 Years Passport To The Future Episode I The Voice: This is the voice of St. Paul A.M.E. Church, bringing to you in dramatic form five most memorable episodes in the 99 year history of this, our great church, which are a part of our glorious past and are our passport to an even more glorious future. The panoramic log, which you will follow with the same zeal and fervor with which we - fifth generation African Methodists ourselves - have in preparing and presenting it to you. For our history tells us so much; it is so enduring, so filled with passion, with dedication, with trials and tribulations, and with vision, hope, adventure, spirituality and with hard work. From it we youth of today are inspired. But, I do not want to keep you waiting too long. Join me, if you will, at the scene of our birth in the unincorporated village of Linton, now called Delray Beach, when five families, imbued with the spirit and zeal of Richard Allen, who 110 years earlier founded A.M.E. Church, decided that they wanted an A.M.E. Church in that small but spiritually starved community. Come with me to a small packing house, located on what is now called Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, and owned by Fagan and Jane Henry. It was the third Sunday in November - the 19th to be specific, in the year 1897. Four other families were in attendance - all with a background of African Methodism from West Florida, Georgia and the Bahama Islands. They t~ asked, presiding Elder J. L. Moore to join them in this eventful mission. It was a packinghouse, but ..where God's people are so is God. Come in Fagan Henry, George Hannah, Jessie Cole, George Green and Walter Bellamy. Presiding Elder Moore is here. Bring your wives and the children with you. God's work is for everyone. (Enter the delegates, representing the families; Presiding Elder More, who is already standing in the packinghouse, speaks first). 4 Presiding Elder Moore: Let us pray. Oh God, we pray that thou would come into our efforts as we attempt to fro6 a church that will carry on thy worki in our hearts and in this community throughout the ages. Though we are few in number, grant us, oh God, the resolve and determination to build and the vision to always keep our hearts and minds stayed on thee. Amen.q Fagan Henry: What name shall we call our church? While you are free to continue meeting here, you la, ow that the season is approaching and my packing-house will be filled up. Jessie Cole: Let's call it Mt. Tabor. I believe St. Mark Chapter 9, Verse 2 says it well. (Reading from an old bible, he continues). "Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them." George Green: Walter and I have talked with the deacons and pastor of Mt. Olive, the Baptist Church organized last year and they have agreed to let us share their Church on alternate Sundays. We will purchase Lot~,Deed 66, October 13, 1899 from the Model Land Company. This Lot was sold to Masonic Order 275, the oldest in the County. George Hannah: 1 ' ~r~z I think I know where we can purchase a ot ~ 'Green s place and in a few years we can build our own church. The other Trustees are Moses Baker, and Jessie Cole. (The groups leave'quickly and returns when the voice describes the next episode). Episode II: The Voice: Five years later, September 7, 1902, when the Reverend J. A. Livington was pastor~ ~, Trustees ~ George H. Green, George Hannah, Jessie Coles ~ lot was purchased and a small frame building was buil~ Join us at the first Board meeting in our new church. Will the heir:~g stand in this our first prayer in our new Church. (Enter some of the cast in the First Episode, where you find Rev. Livingston leading them in prayer in the new building, where it will be renamed St. Paul). Reverend Livingston: Oh, God, thou has blessed us with this new house, buil~l'with our own hands, where we more dutifully carry on thy work. Amen. Fagan Henry: Because our membership numbers man3' from so many places, and because we have a new building, I move that we give our Church a new name, also St. Paul, with prayers and hopes that our work will spread and grow as did the work of St. Paul himself. All: St. Paul, Oh St. Paul - spreading the work of God throughout this community. (The group quickly leaves the scene). Episode III; The Voice: St. Paul did prosper. The Reverend W.H.A. Pickett purchased another lot, it was almost given by Brother George Green, and constructed a larger building next to our present site. Neither the 1928 hurricane which totally destroyed the building, nor the economic depression could long hinder the growth of St. Paul. And, under the Reverend J. W. Weston, a new building was erected, in which two of the most historic events in Delray Beach were to take place. Join us in the church's credo - God ou~,Christ, our Redeemer, and ~ §ur l~rother" when it was put into fulPin Delray Beach, It was May 23, 1947, when the first Inter-racial meeting dealing with political participation. One of the . eq~'uo now'f~ Superintendent speakers was a young high school semor, a retired teacher, of our Sunday School and public School teacher, spoke on "Is There a Political Responsibility for the Youth." Come in Athalone, along with our Pastor, L. S. Johnson, and give us a part of your statement, which symbolizes the obligation of youth today in community affairs through the church. 6 Sister Athalone Hogins: The youth, especially the Negro youth, has one of the greatest responsibilities imaginable. We as youth and you our parents cmmot sit down and supinely bemoa~he evils in our communityt ~tate and national govenm~ents by glibly casting lip condemnation of what has been or is. The only effective protest in a representative government is intelligent and active participation - Voting. (The actor quickly leave, as Reverend Edwards and Mrs. Alyce Hart and her committee on Community Involvement assemble in the newly renovated church in 1958). The Voice: "Come all ye that labor and are in love with your fellow men. This newly renovated church is God's house, not only your your kith and kin" was the underlying theme the Reverend J. D. Edwards, who shepherded St. Paul for over two decades, instituting in 1955 a community wide recognition program - The Annual Organizational Tea - which yearly honors citizens and organizations for outstanding community service over and O~ beyond. They are placed in the St. Paul Galaxy of Honorees. Let us listen int-the meeting of the Reverend J. D. Edwards with Chair Lady Alyce Hart and the Community Action Committee: Reverend J. D. Edwards: Chair Lady Hart and fellow committee members, we are to be guided by the principle that true Christian stewardship transcends the narrow confines of sectarianism; when we serve our fellow men - all of our fellow men, we are truly serving God. Sister Hart: That is exactly what the Annual Organization Tea is all about, Reverend Edwards. Here is how our committee has come up with our guiding principles: "St. Paul A.M.E. Church. in recognition of service over and beyond the call of duty to and for our community, joins our community in this tribute to you and is honored to place your name in the St, Paul Galaxy of Honorees. FINALE - THE CHARGE TO KEEP (The entire cast assembles, along with the Voice, ~vho speaks this part with poetic feeling an'~! fi'om memory. After the voice finishes, all take a bow in unison and depart). Episode V The Voice: Spiritual and administrative ~ guidance have been provided by some 20 minister, each in his own*leaving resounding echoes and indelible imprints of service to the membership and to the community. And we dare not Forget Them, Ever. May we all stand in historical respect as we Call The Roll: Presiding Elder J. L. Moore, Reverend J. A. Livingston, W.H.A. Pickett, J. W. Weston, L. S. Johnson, (who served twice), C. J. Jenkins, J. D. Small, J.~. Thompson, Wm Williams, J. D. Edwards, (who sen'ed over m'o decades), James Grisby, Le~wis Myers, George L. Champion, Allen Orr, Hector Smith, (our present leader). Ninety-nine years - from November 19, 1897 to Nov. 17, 1996 - are but a moment in God's infinite plan. The same zeal, enthusiasm and spiritual insight that began in the Fagan HenD'Packinghouse are still with us. The challenges met then and those of the 1990's are but opportunities for an even greater service under spiritual and masterful leadership of our Pastor, Reverend Hector Smith, through prayer, evangelism, Christian devotion, human welfare, ~ mission and Christian community social action - all of which spring from the seeds planted November 19, 1897. Dare we remember these historical events beginning with the Packinghouse Conception and Birth; the christening and naming to St. Paul in 1902 under J. A. Lix;ingston; the first building expansion program under W.H.A. Pickett, the~ building program following the 1928 hurricane under J. W. Weston; the commitment to political involvement during the 1947 Voter Drive under L. S. Johnson; the Organizational Tea Recognition of outstanding Citizens of the Year 1957 under J.. D. Edwards; initiation of the Expansion - Rebuilding program under 8 Lewis Myers; St. Paul Church awarded Historic Site Designation 1989 under Allen Orr; and completion of the Renovation Building Program expanding youth church and adult bible study program under Pastor Hector Smith. (This must be learned and spoken with deepest feeling, members are asked to stand). Down through the decades, St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church has beenjis now and will continue to,~a towenng influence, so long as we listen to and follow the echoes from our glorious past; but we must do more than listen, We Must Act On Our National Motto - "God Our Father, Christ Our Redeemer And Man Our Brother, this is reporting.

MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM: CITY MANAGER ~/1 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~' /~' - MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 1997 APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDING AND FUNDING ASSISTANCE TO CONDUCT THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES SURVEY DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 1997 This zs before the Commission to authorize submission of a grant application to the Florida Department of State, Historic Resources Division for the Comprehensive Historic Structures Survey and approve the commitment of $5,000 as half the local share. The Community Redevelopment Agency will also fund $5,000. Staff has already identified 198 structures over 50 years of age. Documenting these properties will be the first priority. It is estimated that an additional 200 structures have yet to be identified; approximately 100 of which are in minority neighbor- hoods. Funding will be requested to complete Florida Master Site File survey forms for the historic inventory in the City, in a target area which is bounded by 1-95 on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the City limits on the north, and 10th Street on the south. The project goal is to produce historic structure documentation which will allow the City to be responsive to neighborhood associations which have expressed a desire to become historic districts, and to individual homeowners who wish to have their properties listed in our Local Register for the historic status and protection conferred, and to participate in the tax abatement programs available from the City and Palm Beach County. Recommend authorizing application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historic Resources for funding assistance, and approving commitment of $5,000 as half of the local share to conduct a survey of historic structures in the City. TO: DAVID T. HARDEN, CITY MANGER FROM: J'~OH N W~AL~OJ ECT COORDINATOR SUBJECT: MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 1997 AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDING AND COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE DELRAY BEACH HISTORIC STRUCTURES SURVEY** CONSENT AGENDA ** The action requested of the City Commission is that of authorizing an application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historic Resources, for funding assistance to conduct a comprehensive survey of historic structures in the City, and approving the commitment of $5,000 as half of the local share of funding for the Delray Beach Comprehensive Historic Structures Survey. The staff of the Planning and Zoning Department is preparing an application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historic Resources, for funding assistance to conduct a comprehensive survey of historic structures in the City. The total project cost is estimated at $20,000. The grant application will request $10,000 in State funding, which is 50% of the total cost. The other 50% will be a local match, with $5,000 from the CRA and $5,000 from the City. Project tasks will be done by a consultant, selected by competitive bid. The project will produce a comprehensive survey of historic structures within the City. We have already identified 198 structures over 50 years of age, for which Florida Master Site File forms have not been compiled. The identified properties are located in five subdivisions whose platting dates range from 1913 to 1937; documenting these will be our first priority. We estimate that an additional 200 structures have yet to be identified, approximately 100 of which are in minority neighborhoods. Funding will be requested to complete Florida Master Site File survey forms for the historic inventory in the City, in a target area which is bounded by 1-95 on the west; the Atlantic Ocean on the east; the City limits on the north; and 10th Street on the south. The project goal is to produce historic structure documentation which will allow us to be responsive, in a timely manner, to neighborhood associations which have expressed a CiTY COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDING AND COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE DELRAY BEACH HISTORIC STRUCTURES SURVEY PAGE 2 desire to become historic districts, and to individual home owners who wish to have their properties listed in our Local Register for the historic status and protection conferred, and to be eligible to participate in the Tax Abatement program which is available from the City and County. Threats to historical structures in the area include demolition and replacement by new construction, in wealthier portions of the survey area, such as the beach area, this threat is due to rapidly escalating property values. In other, economically challenged parts of the survey area, the same threat of demolition and replacement is due to neglect and reduction in the value of housing, making these sites candidates for inappropriate infill housing. Much of the survey area comprises the City's historic minority neighborhoods. Historic structures in these areas are eligible to access the tax abatement advantage to preserve and improve the structures. This will allow owners to stay in homes which are often paid for, reducing housing costs; and to stay in settled, stable neighborhoods close to employment and shopping opportunities, thus reducing transportation costs. There is a growing market for historic housing, with its tax abatement advantage. Preservation and improvement of historic housing can form a base to maintain a stable neighborhood, and to redevelop and renovate a transitional neighborhood. The availability of a comprehensive survey of properties eligible for listing in the Local Register of Historic Places will provide current and prospective owners information needed to invest in historic housing with some assurance that the investment will be protected by the preservation of the neighborhood. The project is consistent with and furthers the Comprehensive Plan, including policies calling for neighborhood surveys to identify and evaluate potential historic resources, and the use of historic housing designation as a revitalization tool. In addition, the project will provide valuable baseline information to implement the Comprehensive Plan and the Community Redevelopment Plan. By motion, authorize an application to the Flodda Department of State, Division of Historic Resources, for funding assistance to conduct a comprehensive survey of historic structures in the City, and approve the commitment of $5,000 as half of the local share of funding for the Delray Beach Comprehensive Historic Structures Survey.

Hasko, P.E., Acting ESD Director SUBJECT: REHABILITATION OF LIFT STATION #16 AND//3 lA (PROJECT//98-044) DATE: November 11, 1997 Attached is Service Authorization #2 for Eckler Engineering in the amount of $22,500.00 for consulting services required for the rehabilitation of Lift Stations //16 and #3lA. Scope of service includes preparation of engineering plans and specifications for the rehabilitation and conversion of Lift Station #16 from a Wet Well/Dry Well "Can" Station to a Submersible Station and the rehabilitation and refurbishment of Lift Station #3 lA. Maintenance records indicate that these two stations are currently the highest priorities for rehabilitation. Insofar as Lift Station 3 lA serves only one cul-de-sac street (Tropic Boulevard) in the Tropic Isle Subdivision, an evaluation will be performed to determine whether or not this facility can be abandoned and a gravity connection made to the downstream system to which it currently discharges. If this proposal becomes cost prohibitive, the station will be refurbished and remain in service. Funding for this expenditure is available in R&R Account #442-51718-536-61.83, Lift Station Conversion to Submersible. Please place this item on the November 18th, agenda for consideration by the City Commission. RCH:cl cc: Howard Wight Robert Bullard File ECKLER ENGINEERING, INC.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Eckler Engineering met with thc City of Defray Beach on November 3, 1997 to obtain a better understanding of the improvements anticipated by the City of Defray Beach. The following wastewater system improvements are proposed for the rehabilitation of lift stations 16 and 31A based upon the site visit and the City's needs for wastewater collection and transmission systems within these areas: Lift station 16: The City staff has recommended that this station be converted to a submersible type lift station to eliminate the confined space requirements and general maintenance problems associated with the current design. The capacity of the pumps will be upgraded in order to meet the new operational head of the revised Highland Beach force main. The current layout of the site will remain with the station located on Seagate Drive with the electrical and controls located around the corner to the southeast on Bauhinia Road. Lift Station 3lA: The City staff has recommended general maintenance work be completed for this existing lift station. This work will include the installation of new cheek and isolation valves, new valve vault patch, replacement of existing pumping equipment, cleaning and painting of the interior of the wetwell and valve vault, and the replacement of the existing control panel. This proposal consists of the design of these facilities and improvements, including preparation of detailed plans and specifications followed by permitting and bidding assistance services. The estimated construction cost for the rehabilitation of lift stations 16 and 3lA will be in the range of $170,000.00 to $210,000.00 depending on the recommendations of the design report. A more detailed probable cost of construction will be prepared upon completion of the final design. II.

Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Darren's Ridge Plat Page 2 SPRAB staff report is available from the Planning and Zoning Department for further review. The applicable land development regulations are discussed below. Com_oliance with Land Develo_oment Regulations: Interior Street System: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.3(0)(2), townhouse developments are required to provide a platted street system interior to the project. The Darren's Ridge plat does not provide an interior street system as, per site plan approval, the units take direct access from Florida Boulevard. A waiver from this requirement has been requested by the applicant. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) (Findings), prior to granting a waiver, the granting body shall make findings that the granting of the waiver: a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. For large scale townhouse projects, interior streets are necessary to prevent individual access from townhomes directly onto a main collector or local road, and to provide access to parking lots within townhome developments. For a project as small as Darren's Ridge, and given the location and parcel configuration, provision of an interior street system is not practical. The project was previously approved as a rental complex and this standard was not applied. It is currently under construction and access could not be readily modified. Based on the above, findings can be made that granting of the waiver will not adversely affect the neighboring area; significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; create an unsafe situation; or, result in the grant of a special privilege. Right-of-Way Dedication: Currently, Florida Boulevard contains a 50' right-of-way. Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(2), local streets with curb and gutter are required to have a total of 60' of right-of-way, requiring a 5' right-of-way dedication along Florida Boulevard. A reduction of right-of-way width from 60' to 50' was granted with site plan approval. Sidewalk: Pursuant to LDR Section 5.1.3(E), a 5' sidewalk is required along Florida Boulevard, and its installation prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy was a condition of site plan approval. The sidewalk has not yet been constructed, and its installation prior to obtaining CO is attached to this plat as a condition of approval. Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Darren's Ridge Plat Page 4 Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Darren's Ridge townhouse development received site plan approval in October, 1995, and boundary plat approval in January, 1996. The site plan originally called for the construction of rental townhouse units; however, the owner now wishes to convert the development to fee simple ownership, and has resubmitted the plat to address the conversion. The subdivision complies with the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the LDRs. 1. Continue with direction. 2. Approve the preliminary plat and certify the final plat subject to all conditions being addressed prior to scheduling for City Commission action. 3. Deny the preliminary plat and final plat with reasons stated. By Separate Motions: 1. Approve the waiver request from LDR Section 4.3.3(0)(2), which requires an interior street system within townhouse developments. 2. Approve the preliminary plat and certify the final plat for Darren's Ridge, subject to the following conditions: That items 1-3 identified under the technical items of this report be addressed prior to scheduling the plat for City Commission action. These items include revisions to the plat face sheet and plat. That the required 5' sidewalk along Florida Boulevard (item ~.4) be installed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy (CO).

BOX 628258 ORLANDO FL 32862-8258 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS ~ ~'O FROM: CITY MANAGER~/{ SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~'~' - MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 199,7 APPEAL OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD DECISION DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 1997 This is before the Commission to consider an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board's denial of a minor site plan modification request for the Check Cashing Store located at the southeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and S.W. 1st Avenue. When considering the presently approved site plan, the Board initially wanted both curb cuts onto Atlantic Avenue eliminated to be consistent with provisions of the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. All vehicles would exit the parking area via the east/west alley. As a compromise, however, the Board approved a one-way driveway, allowing only entry to the site from Atlantic Avenue. Subsequent to the approval of that plan, the owner of the properties located east of the proposed Check Cashing Store (former gas station and the historic Rectory building) applied to abandon the portion of that same east/west alley which separates his properties. The site plan of the Check Cashing Store relies on the alley as the primary egress point for its business. At its meeting of October 20, 1997 the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the abandonment subject to the conversion of the 17 foot one-way drive to a 20 foot two-way drive being approved by the HPB prior to Commission consideration of the alley abandonment. At its meeting of November 5, 1997 the Historic Preservation Board considered the driveway modification and voted 3-2 to deny the conversion to two-way. The abandonment of the east/west alley is critical to the ultimate redevelopment of the site. While its elimination will not significantly impede the circulation of vehicles exiting the Check Cashing Store, it will reduce their options. The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan calls for the elimination of existing curb cuts along the avenue whenever possible; however, it allows the access to be retained when removel is impossible or inappropriate. Given the changed circumstances resulting from the proposed alley abandonment, allowing the two-way access would appear to be justified. Recommend reversal of the action of the Historic Preservation Board, thereby approving the modification to the parking lot for the Check Cashing Store, including the conversion of the approved one-way access drive to a two-way access drive off Atlantic Avenue. TO: DAVID T. HARDEN CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING / SUBJECT: MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 1997 APPEAL OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD'S DENIAL OF A MINOR SITE PLAN MODIFICATION REQUEST FOR THE CHECK CASHING STORE. The action requested of the City Commission is that of consideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board's denial of a non-impacting site plan modification request for the Check Cashing Store. The subject property is located at 48 W. Atlantic Avenue (southeast corner of W. Atlantic Avenue and S.W. 1st Avenue). At its December 18, 1996 meeting, the HPB approved a site plan for the Check Cashing Store, which is now under construction. The subject property previously had two accessways off of Atlantic Avenue. The approved site plan calls for the elimination of one of those curb cuts as well as a curb cut along S.W. 1st Avenue; construction of a 14-space diagonal parking lot with a one-way driveway into the site from Atlantic Avenue and exiting onto the east/west alley at the rear of the site; and construction of a nine-space dead-end parking bay with access provided from the east/west alley. The applicant's initial proposal was to retain one of the existing 2-way driveways onto Atlantic Avenue, but the Board wanted both accessways eliminated altogether to be consistent with provisions of the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan. As a compromise, the driveway was reduced in length and converted to one way in order to provide for fewer potential vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. This design requires that all vehicles exit the parking area via the east/west alley. City Commission Documentation Meeting of November 18, 1997 Appeal of HPB Denial of a Non-Impacting Site Plan Modification for the Check Cashing Store Page 2 Subsequent to the approval of that plan, the owner of the properties located at the southwest corner of W. Atlantic and S. Swinton Avenues (former gas station site and the historic two-story Rectory building) applied to abandon the portion of that same east/west alley which separates his properties. The purpose of the abandonment is to allow for a unified development of the corner properties. The alley in this location is only 13 feet in width, as a 3' portion of it was previously abandoned to accommodate the encroachment of the Rectory building. The abandonment does not affect the portion of the alley that abuts the Check Cashing Store, however, it will eliminate direct access to Swinton from the alley. The Check Cashing Store initially objected to the abandonment, in that their approved site plan relies upon the alley as the primary egress point for its business. The remaining portion of the east/west alley will maintain access to S.W. 1st Avenue, and to an existing north/south alley east of the Check Cashing Store. The north/south alley is improved to S.W. 1st Street. The applicant and representatives of the Check Cashing Store discussed several alternatives to resolve the alley access issue. In order to come to a solution acceptable to everyone involved, modifications to the Check Cashing Store site plan were proposed, including converting the approved 17' wide one-way driveway to a 20' wide two-way drive. The owner of the corner property would agree to limit his own Atlantic Avenue access to a one-way drive. In order to accommodate the modification, the required 5' landscape buffer along the Check Cashing Store's east property line would have to be reduced to 2.5'. At its meeting of October 20, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the abandonment, subject to several conditions. One of those conditions is that a site plan modification converting the approved 17' wide one-way driveway to a 20' wide two-way driveway be approved by HPB prior to City Commission consideration of the abandonment. The Historic Preservation Board considered the driveway modification and landscape waiver at the meeting of November 5, 1997. Five of the seven board members were present. The board voted unanimously to approve the landscape waiver that was necessary to accommodate the driveway conversion, but voted 3-2 to deny the actual conversion of the driveway. There was very little discussion regarding the reason for the denial, but the board member making the motion stated that he felt that the 2-way drive was not necessary, as adequate circulation would still exist if the alley to the east is abandoned. City Commission Documentation Meeting of November 18, 1997 Appeal of HPB Denial of a Non-Impacting Site Plan Modification for the Check Cashing Store Page 3 A. Continue with direction. B. Uphold the Historic Preservation Board's denial of the site plan modification for the Check Cashing Store. C. Reverse the Historic Preservation Board's denial of the site plan modification for the Check Cashing Store, thereby approving the driveway and parking lot changes. The abandonment of the east/west alley that is associated with the property at the southwest corner of Swinton and Atlantic Avenues is critical to the ultimate redevelopment of that site. The alley is only 13 feet in width at this location, and is a substandard travelway. It does not make sense to design a development around it. While its elimination will not significantly impede the circulation of vehicles exiting the Check Cashing Store, it will reduce their options. As a concession, it makes sense to allow the store to have a 2-way access onto Atlantic Avenue. While the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan calls for the elimination of existing curb cuts along the avenue whenever possible, it allows the access to be retained when removal is impossible or inappropriate. Given the changed circumstances resulting from the proposed abandonment, allowing the 2-way access is justified. Neither the CRA nor the West Atlantic Avenue Review Committee object to the 2-way drive. Therefore, the following action is recommended: By motion, reverse the action of the Historic Preservation Board, thereby approving the modification to the parking lot for the Check Cashing Store, including the conversion of the approved 1-way access drive to a 2-way access drive.

The action being appealed is the denial of a Non-Impacting Site Plan Modification to allow two-way access to the 14 space parking lot associated with the Check Cashing Store at 48 West Atlantic Avenue. The Board denied the modification by a 3-2 vote. Both the CRA and the P & Z Board supported the modification. Granting this appeal will satisfy an objection by the Check Cashing Store to the proposed alley abandonment presently going through approval process. My client owns both the comer property on Swinton and Atlantic Avenue adjacent on the east side and the Rectory property at 14 S. Swinton is requesting the abandonment in order to unify the properties. The three-story proposed comer building will echo the character of the rectory and contain a mixed retail/residential usage. We have worked closely with the City staffand CRA to develop a very historically sensitive building on this strategic high profile site. The City staff and engineers support the abandonment. Without the site modification being granted, the City staff and I feel a long drawn out battle may take place. I believe we have made a diligent and professional effort to find a successful solution in order to realize a tremendous project for the City of Delray Beach. As agent for the Check Cashing Store modification and architect for the proposed Rectory redevelopment, I appreciate your consideration of this appeal. Respectfully yours, John W.

The stated intent is to construct a duplex on each lot, for a total of four units. At the Commission meeting of October 21, 1997 Commissioner Schmidt stated his concern about the appropriateness of two duplexes in this area on N.E. 22nd Street, particularly in light of the Seacrest neighborhood plan that is being developed and the fact that all of the lots similar to these are going to be proposed for rezoning to R-1AA Single Family. The Commission postponed consideration of the final boundary plat for the Hegstrom property so that a Quasi-Judicial proceeding could be held to give the Seacrest Homeowners Association an opportunity to address this matter. Attached is the staff report from the Planning and Zoning Board. Recommend Commission discretion. TO: DAVID T. HARDEN CITY MANAGER (~ ~ ~Vt/t~ SENIOR PLANNER SUBJECT: NOVEMBER 18, 1997 MEETING - HEGSTROM BOUNDARY PLAT The action requested of the City Commission is that of consideration of a proposal to subdivide a 0.64 acre parcel of land located on the north side of NE 22nd Street, approximately 450 feet east of Seacrest Boulevard. The proposed boundary plat seeks to create two duplex lots. The property in question was annexed into the City in 1988 as a part of Enclave #5. At that time the property had a county zoning designation of RS-Single Family Residential. This property and an additional parcel to the west were given a City zoning classification of RL (Multiple-Family Residential - Low Density). The stated reason for this designation was to create a buffer between the existing commercial development to the west and the single family area to the east. However, there are some inconsistencies in this rationale. First, the commercial zoning is NC (Neighborhood Commercial), not GC-General Commercial. The neighborhood commercial zone is used to accommodate limited retail and services uses in a manner convenient to yet not disruptive of residential areas. The existing commercial use adjacent to the RL zoning district is a Iow intensity dance studio and was so at the time of annexation. Secondly, the four properties located immediately north of the subject property are zoned R-l-AA (Single Family Residential). The R-l-AA district extends to the western boundary of the NC - Neighborhood Commercial zone, and there is an existing single family house adjacent to the commercial development. The subject property currently contains a single family house and a beauty shop. Both of these uses are situated on the western portion of the lot. The eastern portion of the lot is currently vacant. The proposal is to subdivide the parcel into two lots. The stated intent is to construct a duplex on each lot, for a total of 4 units. The proposed plat does not subdivide the parcel evenly. Instead, it creates a large lot to the west, with 108 feet of frontage, and a smaller lot to the east, with only 81.1 feet of frontage. Although the purpose of this arrangement has not been disclosed, the arrangement would allow the single family residence to the west to remain while the eastern lot is developed. City commission Documentation Hegstrom Boundary Plat Page 2 While the subdivision of the property would result in lot sizes that are compatible with other lots in the area, the stated intent to construct duplexes is inconsistent with the existing development pattern. The property is surrounded on the north, south and east by owner-occupied (93%) detached single family homes, which are zoned R-l-AA. The property to the west is zoned RL, but it also contains a single family home. The residential density of this area is 5.0 units per acre with an average lot size of 8,712 sq. feet. The following policy of the Housing Element of the adopted Comprehensive Plan applies: Policy C-2.4 Development of remaining vacant properties which are zoned for residential purposes shall be developed in a manner which is consistent with adjacent development regardless of zoning designations. These policies shall be implemented through the review process associated with platting and site plans and shall be effective immediately. It is also noted that a Neighborhood Plan is being prepared for the Seacrest/Del-lda Park Neighborhood that contains language to rezone the RL and RM Multiple Family districts within the neighborhood to Single Family. The Neighborhood Plan will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board in December, and is intended to be presented to the City Commission for adoption in January. If approved, the zoning changes that are recommended in the Plan will be processed. The proposed development of the property as duplex units is counterproductive to this effort. The Seacrest Homeowner's Association met on November 10, 1997 to discuss the proposed neighborhood plan. The association is a major voice in the effort to rezone the multiple family areas in order to start changing the character of the neighborhood. The association specifically discussed the Hegstrom proposal, and was opposed to any new duplex units in the neighborhood. The objection mainly related to the project not being harmonious with adjacent properties. The association felt that subdivision to accommodate an additional single family house would be the only acceptable development proposal on the site. 1. Continue with Direction. 2.

FINAL PLAT APPROVAL/HEGSTROM BOUNDARY PLAT: Approve the Hegstrom boundary plat which creates two duplex lots on property located on the north side of N.E. 22nd Street. Mr. Schmidt stated that he removed this item from the consent agenda because of his concern about the appropriateness of two duplexes in this area on N.E. 22nd Street, particularly in light of the Seacrest neighborhood plan that is being developed and the fact that all of the lots similar to these are going to be proposed for rezoning to R-1AA Single Family in an effort to do away with duplexes because I think we acknowledge that they have probably at the root of the problem along N.E. 3rd Avenue. He stated he would propose postponing this matter for the purpose of holding a quasi-judicial proceeding at a future meeting to give the Seacrest Homeowners Association in particular an oppor- tunity to address this matter since he felt the association members were probably not aware that this item was on the agenda. After discussion, Mr. Schmidt moved to postpone consid- eration of the final boundary for the Hegstrom property to the November 18, 1997, for the purpose of holding a quasi-judicial hearing on the matter, seconded by Mr. Egan. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Alperin - Yes; Mr. Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Egan - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.AAA. RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD: Approve the Rules and Regulations of the Historic Preser- vation Board, as revised and adopted by the Historic Preservation Board on June 18, 1997. Mr. Ellingsworth noted that under Section 7., "Deci- sions'', it indicates that the Chair votes last, and suggested that the roll call votes be done on a rotating basis the same as is done by the Commission. It was the consensus of the Commis- sion to support this change. Mayor Alperin then questioned Section 4., "Absences", where it provides that a board member absent from three consecutive regular meetings shall constitute an automatic resignation, unless said absence is due to illness -5- 10/21/97 MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM: CITY IVlJ~AGER~b/{ SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~ ~ - MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1997 FINAL BOUNDARY PLAT/HEGSTROM PROPERTY DATE: OCTOBER 17, 1997 This is before the Commission to approve the final boundary plat for two duplex lots located on the north side of NE 22nd Street for William and Grace Hegstrom.

DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 1997 This is before the Commission to consider a request from EPOCH, Inc. (Expanding & Preserving Our Cultural Heritage) for 50 percent reimbursement ($270.00) of expenses incurred by board members attending the Florida Historic Preservation Advisory Council meeting to present EPOCH's grant request for the Spady House project. At its meeting of April 1, 1997, the Commission authorized $10,000 for planning services for the Spady House with the CRA pledging a match of $10,000.00. Since the City had not been given either a budget or a detailed work program, the $10,000 was made available with all contracts entered into and expenditures involved being subject to advance approval by the City Manager. As of November 4, 1997 the City had paid $7,189.03 as its share of planning services. The reimbursement requested by EPOCH does not fall under the "planning services" previously approved. There is money available, however, from the $10,000 originally agreed upon. Recommend Commission discretion.

COMMISSION CHAMBERS AGENDA ADDENDUM THE REGULAR AGENDA IS AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING: 9.E. Resolution No. 81-97 (Water and Sewer Revenue Refundinq Bonds/Series 1997 A): Consider approval of Resolution No. 81-97 authorizing the negotiated sale of Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997 A, and providing for other details. Also, concerning Item 10.B., Ordinance No. 47-97 (rezoning for a portion of the Yake property), a request has been received from Michael Listick, Esq., asking for a postponement of this item. A copy of his letter is attached. ref:ADDENDUM MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY CQMMISSIONERS FROM: CITY MANAGER~'/'I~ SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~g - REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 1997 RESOLUTION NO. 81-97 (WATER AND SEWER REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 1997 DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1997 Attached is a draft copy of Resolution No. 81-97 authorizing the negotiated sale of Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997 A. Also attached is a copy of the Preliminary Official Statement. A representative from Public Financial Management will make a short presentation on Tuesday night. We also expect to have the final resolution by that time. The City Commission initially discussed this bond issue on August 19, 1997, and adopted Resolution No. 58-97 authorizing the refunding bonds (Series 1997 A) in an amount not to exceed $17,000,000 for the purpose of advance refunding all or a portion of the outstanding Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 B. A copy of the minutes is attached. Recommend approval of Resolution No. 81-97. ref:agmemo7 9.A. PROPOSED PEDI-CAB/RICKSHAW SERVICE: Provide direction concerning a proposal by Mr. Aldo Cirelli to establish a non-mo- torized pedi-cab and rickshaw operation in Delray Beach. The City Manager stated that this issue was previously discussed by the City Commission on February 18, 1997. At that time the Commission deferred any action until other pending issues with respect to the downtown had been looked at and resolved. The valet parking issue remains unresolved. The traffic study on the one-way pairs and other issues is in the analysis phase and is expected to be received in a month or so. The Parking Management Team has scheduled a town meeting for September 25th to further discuss the various issues related to the downtown area. Since Mr. Cirelli asked that the City again consider this proposal, staff is seeking further direction from the Commission about whether to do anything toward developing an ordinance to regulate pedi-cabs or continue waiting until the results of the traffic study and other studies which are underway are received. Mr. Egan stated that he felt the pedi-cab proposal is something the City might want to entertain, but before doing so he wanted to see the results of the Parking Management Team's study as well as the one for traffic flow. He felt that an ordinance would be needed since these types of things will probably keep coming before the Commission as the City becomes more and more popular, but that it would be best to wait until the reports are ready for consideration. It was the consensus of the Commission to defer action on the request until the Parking Management Team's study is complete as well as the traffic study commissioned by the City. Mr. Egan so moved, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Alperin - Yes; Mr. Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Egan - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.B. RESOLUTION NO. 58-97 AND BID AWARDS FOR SUPPORT SERVIC- ES: Consider approval of a resolution authorizing a sixth series of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds designated as Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997 A, in the initial aggregate principal amount of not exceeding $17,000,000 for the purpose of advance refunding all or a portion of City's outstanding Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 B; and approve bid awards for support services as recommended by Public Financial Manage- ment, Inc. The City Manager presented Resolution No. 58-97: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, SUPPLEMENTING RESOLUTION NO. 39-88, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLE- MENTED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AUTHORIZING A 5 08/19/97 SIXTH SERIES OF WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS DESIGNATED AS WATER AND SEWER REVENUE REFUND- ING BONDS, SERIES 1997 A, IN THE INITIAL AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOT EXCEEDING $17,000,000 FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADVANCE REFUNDING ALL OR A PORTION OF THE CITY'S OUTSTANDING WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 1991 B; PROVIDING FOR THE TERMS AND PAYMENT FOR SAID BONDS; INCORPORATING BY REFERENCE THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF RESOLU- TION NO. 39-88, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED; PROVIDING FOR THE UNDERTAKING BY THE CITY REQUIRED BY RULE 15c2-12 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION; PROVIDING FOR THE RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND SECURITY OF THE HOLDERS OF SAID BONDS; MAKING CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (The official copy of Resolution No. 58-97 is on file in the City Clerk's office.) Joseph Safford, Finance Director, explained that the intent is to refund a portion of a current bond issue (1991B Water/Sewer Bonds) if and when the market allows the City to achieve a net five percent (5%) savings. The refunding will only be done if the net savings accruing to the City are 5% or more (interest cost savings net of costs and fees). The resolution authorizes the appropriate City officials to execute documents if and when the market hits that 5% savings. The City Commission is also being asked to approve bid awards for support services as recommended by Public Financial Management, Inc., the City's financial advisor. The awards are as follows: (1) Paying agent/ registrar/escrow agent services from The Bank of New York (BNY); (2) financial printing services from Allied Printing; and (3) verification services from KPMG Peat Marwick. On question from Mr. Randolph, Mr. Safford stated that there is no way to predict what course the market will take. It could be any day or it could take months for the market to reach the desired net savings. The point is to be ready if and when the opportunity presents itself. The City Manager noted that the bonds are outstanding until 2010 and can only be refunded once. The City would not want to refund them at a low savings level and miss an opportuni- ty later to do a refunding. We want to do it when there is enough of a savings to make it worthwhile because we only have one opportunity to do it. Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve Resolution No. 58-97 subject to a five percent (5%) gain, seconded by Mr. Schmidt. 6 08/19/97 Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Alperin - Yes; Mr. Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Egan - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. Mr. Schmidt moved to approve the bid awards for support services as recommended by Public Financial Management, Inc., seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Egan - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.C. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION ~4/~IAZEN AND SAWYER: Consider approval of Service Authorization ~4 in the amount of $25,032 to Hazen and Sawyer for consulting services related to the first phase of an Inflow/Infiltration Study for the City's wastewater system, with funding from 442-5178-536-61.84. Richard Hasko, Acting Director of Environmental Servic- es, explained that for the last few years the focus in terms of leaky sewer systems has been on the barrier island because of the salt water environment. A great deal of reconstruction and rehabilitation has taken place on the barrier island over the past four to five years and the chloride levels for the last year or so have been pretty much under control. With that, the focus is now shifting to the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway because there are still a lot of leaky sewers on the west side that are causing the City to pay for more treatment at the treatment facility than needs to be paid. This service author- ization to Hazen and Sawyer is the first planned effort on the west side of the waterway and will encompass the older systems in town from 1-95 to the Intracoastal Waterway and north/south to the City limits. Hazen and Sawyer will be looking at about 43 lift station basins and will be making determinations as to where the worst infiltration is and where the priorities need to be based on severity of leakage for implementation of rehabilita- tion. Mr. Egan moved to approve Service Authorization #4 in the amount of $25,032 to Hazen and Sawyer, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Egan - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Alperin - Yes; Mr. Schmidt - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.D. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WIT~ PALM BEAC~ COUNTY/SIDeWALK ON LAKE IDA ROAD: Consider approval of an interlocal agreement between the City and Palm Beach County for the construction of a sidewalk on the south side of Lake Ida Road, between Coral Way and Davis Road. Estimated cost of $13,000 to be split 50%/50%, with the City's share of $6,500 to be funded from 001-3113-541-63.11. Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated that the interlocal agreement is for the installation of about -7- 08/19/97 P LIC FINANCIALMANAGF. MtD4T, INC. Financial and Investment Advisors 5900 Enterprise Parkway Fort Myers, FL 33905 941-693-7117 (Fax) 941-693-6384 November 18, 1997 The Mayor and Commissioners, City of Delray Beach, Florida 100 N.W. 1 st Avenue Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Ladies and Gentlemen: Public Financial Management, Inc. ("PFM"), Financial Advisor to the City of Delray Beach, Florida (the "City"), is pleased to provide this recommendation regarding the method of sale and credit enhancement for the City's Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997A (the "Series 1997A Bonds"). PFM believes that a negotiated, rather than a competitive sale, is the most appropriate method of sale for the Series 1997A Bonds. Under a negotiated sale, unlike a competitive sale, the City's investment banking team is able to assist the financing team in structuring the transaction and in pre-sale marketing activities to insure that the Series 1997A Bonds will be well received by the municipal market. We believe that this type of assistance will be necessary in order to adequately address potential investor concems and provide sufficient pre-sale interest in the Series 1997A Bonds. Additionally, tax-exempt interest rates have been subject to considerable volatility during recent months, a negotiated sale will provide the City with more flexibility than a competitive sale with regard to entering the market at the most opportune time. Under current market conditions, PFM believes that purchasing municipal bond insurance for the Series 1997A Bonds, at the quoted price of 19 basis points, would provide the City with a significant economic benefit. With the purchase of bond insurance from AMBAC Indemnity Corporation ("AMBAC"), AMBAC has agreed to amend the existing Reserve Account Credit Facility Substitute purchased for the City's Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 B (the Refunded Bonds) to now cover the Series 1997A Bonds for no additional fee. The use of such credit enhancement allows the City to broaden the scope of prospective investors for the Series 1997A Bonds. The present value savings attributable to the lower interest costs to be received on the Series 1997A Bonds will more than offset the cost of credit enhancement.

The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading of an ordinance designating the Turner House to the Local Register of Historic Places. The Turner House, designed by famed Delray Beach architect Samuel Ogren, was constructed in 1925. Designed in the Mediterranean Revival style, it conforms to the features of the style as described in the Delray Beach Design Guidelines. Turner House is a two story single family residence with an asymmetric facade, clay tile roof, and smooth stucco finished exterior. The wood windows are a combination of casement and sash, all have deep sills and the front first floor windows have decorative stucco lintels. An arched French door on the front elevation opens onto a small balcony surrounded by a wrought iron railing. Turner House presents many exterior design elements, such as columns and pilasters with decorative capitals, arches with accented keystones, and exposed rafter tails, all of which are definitive of the Mediterranean Revival style. The Turner House was designed by Delray Beach's first and most prolific registered architect, Samuel Ogren. 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 City Commission Documentation Turner House Historic Status Page 2 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 Turner House is significant for its architecture; it represents one of the finest examples of the Mediterranean Revival style in the City. The house is essentially unaltered and virtually all of its original architectural elements remain intact, taken as a whole these features greatly enhance the historic fabric and significance of the house. Turner House is zoned Central Business District (CBD). The legal description is as follows: The South 27.6' of Lot 5, less the West 5' SR R/W, Lot 6 & 7 less the West 5' SR R/W of Block 115, as recorded in Plat book 1 Page 3. The request for designation was initiated by the owner, Charles W. Turner. Additional background and analysis is provided in the attached designation Report. The Historic Preservation Board considered this item at a Public Hearing on October 22, 1997. After discussion, the Board voted unanimously to recommend historic designation to the City Commission. By motion, approve the ordinance designating the Turner House, 145 N.E. 6th Avenue, to the Local Register of Historic Places.

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE The Turner House, constructed in 1925, designed by architect Samuel Ogren, and located at 145 N.E. 6th Avenue, is a fine example of the Mediterranean Revival style which was popular in Delray Beach during the Florida Boom of the 1920s. It is located approximately one and one half blocks north of East Atlantic Avenue, between N.E. 1st and N.E. 2nd Streets, on the east side of N.E. 6th Avenue. N.E. 6th Avenue, now the northbound portion of US Highway 1, was formerly Dade Avenue, the primary north- south road through the City. The house conforms almost exactly with the "features" characteristic of the Mediterranean Revival style as described in the Delray Beach Design Guidelines. The Mediterranean Revival style is characterized by one and two story structures with stucco finish, wood, stone and concrete accents and multi-rank asymmetrical facade massing. Multi-plane cross gabled roofs are often combined with pitched shed roofs most of which are covered in clay barrel tile. Windows are multi-paned double or single hung sash, or casements, some with wrought iron window grilles. Arches are found above windows and door openings often accented with carved stonework, columns or pilasters. Elaborate chimney caps, usually topped with barrel tile and functional or decorative balconies are characteristic of the style.~ While basically rectangular in form, the Turner House emphasizes the irregularity and asymmetric massing of the Mediterranean Revival style with five different planes on the front elevation, additionally the five different roof heights and styles contribute to the typical asymmetric facade massing. On the first floor front facade a shed terra-cotta tile roof covers the entrance porch and guest room to the ~outh, to the north the reception room's shed terra-cotta tile roof is a different height and is set back two feet from the entry porch/guest room plane. Further to the north a screened porch wing with a shed roof at right angles to the reception room roof is stepped back an additional twelve feet from the primary facade. On the second floor a front bedroom wall extends to the guest room/entry roof and is covered by a high pitched gable which intersects the main roof's lower pitched gable roof. The walls of the house are finished in smooth stucco, with the exception of the screened porch ell which is faced with irregular stone on the lower portion. The windows are wood with a combination of single or double hung sash with multi-panes on the top portion, and multi-paned casements. All windows have deep sills and the front facade first floor windows have decorative stucco lintels. An arched French door on the front facade opens onto a small balcony surrounded by a wrought iron railing. The door is framed with stuccoed stone detail, including a decorative keystone, and topped by a projecting cornice and brackets. The front entrance porch is arched and open on two sides, north and west. A column with a simple capital supports the arch at ~ Delray Beach Design Guidelines, 1990 -5- the corner between the openings and decorative pilasters, with stucco trim, anchor the arches to the supporting walls, a decorative keystone type bracket is placed at the top of each of the two arches. The front door, recessed into the entry, is also arched and keystoned with a bracket. The screened porch ell has arched openings, one on the east and west and two on the north elevation. ^ wood balustrade extends between the porch openings and stone steps with a decorative wrought iron railing provide a secondary access to the house. In the center of the front second floor west facing gable is a cartouche flanked by graceful indentations fashioned to look like attic vents, these rronfunctional vents occur at other places near the roof and add a whimsical relief to the plain stucco finish. The first floor contains five rooms plus a kitchen, bath, screened porch and rear enclosed porch; with the exception of the porches all of the rooms are entered from large rectangular center hall. On entering the hall from the front door, to the left is a reception room with French doors opening to a small balcony on the west, to the right is a guest bedroom with a bath/powder room attached. Further along the hall on the left is the staircase, which can be entered from the east or west by a double set of three steps ending in a landing, before ascending the stairs to the second floor. Adjacent to the stairs and on the right is the billiard room and beyond the stairs to the left is the kitchen and the screened porch. At the east end of the hall on the left is the dining room and to the right is the library, complete with fireplace and space for a built-in organ. ^ large enclosed porch with tall casement windows runs along the entire east end of the house, both the dining room and library open onto the porch. The second floor contains three bedrooms, two baths, built-in closets, a large storage room, and the large east facing porch, which in the days before air conditioning, was used as a sleeping porch. 2 The house is unaltered with the exception of an exterior staircase to the second floor on the rear (east) elevation, and the composition shingle roof on the primary gable. The owner is in the process of replacing the shingles with terra-cotta tiles to replicate the original roof. ^ double garage, with a flat roof and terra-cotta tile trim on top of the parapet, was constructed with the house in 1925 and is located on the northeast corner of the property. The garage contained space for two cars, a half bath and laundry tubs. The garage has been modified by the removal of one set of garage doors. 2 Photocopy of the original plans for the Turner House, Samuel Ogren, May 1925. -6- V. HISTORICAL INFORMATION Dr. Ambrose A. Plotner commissioned Samuel Ogren to design the house in 1925, the commission was rather unusual in that Dr. Plotner was 83 years old at the time. Also in 1925, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Turner moved to Delray from their home in Oklahoma, Charles and Ocie Turner met and became friends with Dr. Plotner and agreed to move into the house as caretakers. A world traveler, the doctor spent a great deal of time out of the country, the opportunity to have the Turners as custodians of the new house while he was abroad was a mutually congenial arrangement. Ambrose Plotner spent a part of each of the next seven years in Delray and died in 1932 at the age of 90. Upon his death the Turners purchased the house from his estate. Charles and Ocie Turner remained in the house until their deaths when their son, Charles, the present owner, inherited the property. 3 The Turner House was designed by Delray Beach's first and most prolific registered architect, Samuel Ogren. Born China in 1899 of Swedish missionary parents, Mr. Ogren had no formal architectural training. He was apprenticing in the West Palm Beach architectural firm of William Manley King in 1924 when he designed his first building in Delray, the Mediterranean Revival residence at 704 No Swinton Avenue. City officials, impressed with the design, offered him the position of City Architect. Ogren went to Tallahassee, took, and passed the State's architectural examination, and moved his family to Delray in 1924. During the 1920s Mr. Ogren designed mostly in the Mediterranean Revival style and contributed to its popularity throughout the City. Noted for his beautifully executed designs, graceful facades, craftsmanship and attention to detail, Mr. Ogren was commissioned to design the Delray High School and Gymnasium in 1926, both buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Some of his other notable buildings in the Mediterranean Revival style are the Marine Villas, Casa Abriga, and the Arcade Tap Room. As the popularity of the Mediterranean Revival style waned at the onset of the Great Depression, Mr. Ogren's designs reflected the changing public taste in architecture. Colonial Revival, Monterey and Art Moderne styles are all to be found in his later work throughout the City. Samuel Ogren desi~lned more than 250 buildings in the City between 1924 and his retirement in 1955. Mr. Ogren died at age 89, many of the homes he designed have been demolished or inappropriately remodeled, however his legacy remains with such a fine example of his oeuvre as the Turner House. VI. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Turner House is significant for its architecture. It represents one of the finest 3Letter from Charles Turner, August 24, 1997 '~"Father of Delray Beach Architecture", Palm Beech Post, 1986 -7- examples of the Mediterranean Revival style in the City, it incorporates all of the style's characteristic features in a graceful residential structure. The house is essentially unaltered and virtually all of its original architectural elements remain intact, taken as a whole these features greatly enhance the historic fabric and significance of the house. Designed by National Register architect, Samuel Ogren, the Turner House deserves the recognition and protection afforded it by designation to the Local Register of Historic Places. Criteria for Designation To qualify as an historic site the property must fulfill one or more of the criteria set forth in Section 4.5.1(B)(2) or (3) of the Land Development Regulations. The Turner House fulfills four of the criteria of Section 4.5.1 (B)(3) as follows: Section 4.5.1 (B)(3) (a) Portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by one or more distinctive architectural styles: The Turner House is an excellent example of the Mediterranean Revival style which gained popularity throughout South Florida during the 1920s. (b) Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, or method of construction: The major defining characteristics of the I~)lediterranean Revival style are present in the Turner House. Moreover, most of the defining exterior details and design elements remain on the structure, making it all the more significant for future generations to appreciate. (c) Is an historic or outstanding work of a prominent architect, designer, landscape architect, or builder: The building is an historic example of the residential work designed and executed by the City's most prominent and prolific architect, Samuel Ogren. (d) Contains elements of design, detail, material, or craftsmanship of outstanding quality or which represented, in its time, a significant innovation or adaptation to the South Florida environment. The quality of the exterior ornamental elements such as brackets, stucco work, cornices, and decorative lintels reflect the artistry and attention to detail that Samuel Ogren's craftsmanship is noted for. Additionally, the use of the expansive porches with banks of large casements windows across the rear (east) elevation, designed to capture the prevailing -8- breezes, as well as the cross ventilation shown on the plan, indicate the architect's adaptation of the house to the South Florida environment in an era before air conditioning was generally available for residential use. -9- IV.

ITEM: Rezoning from GC (General Commercial) to AC (Automotive Commercial) for the Silk Garden Outlet, located on the east side of Dixie Highway, approximately 175 feet south of La Mat Avenue. GENERAL DATA: Owner/Applicant ............. Houssam Boutros Tannous Location .......................... East side of Dixie Highway, approximately 175.feet south of La Mat Avenue Property Size .................. 0.24 Acre Future Land Use Map ..... General Commercial Current Zoning ............... GC (General Commercial) Adjacent Zoning .... North: AC (Automotive Commercial) East: AC South: AC West: CD (Conservation District) Existing ~and Use .......... Existing building used for a silk flower shop Proposed Land Use ........ Rezoning the property to accommodate an automotive repair shop. Water Service ................. Existing on site. Sewer Service ................ Existing on site. The action before the Board is making a recommendation to the City Commission on a rezoning request from General Commercial (GC) to Automotive Commercial (AC) for Silk Garden Outlet property. The subject property is located on the east side of Dixie Highway approximately 170' south of La Mat Avenue and contains 0.24 acres. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property within the City. The subject property consists of Tract B of Faulterbaur Plat, and contains 0.24 acres. This parcel was in the County until annexed as part of the 1987 Enclave Act via Ordinance 38-89. In August 1990, a building permit to construct a 2,179 square foot structure was submitted concurrently with a plat for a proposed contractors office. Prior to the adoption of the LDRs in October 1990, site plan approval was only required for commercial structures over 5,000 square feet. Commercial structures under 5,000 square feet and their associated site plans were approved through the building permit process. The building permit was issued for the site with a condition that prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy that the plat be recorded. The parcel was zoned Specialized Commercial (SC) until it was rezoned to Automotive Commercial (AC) with the Citywide rezoning associated with the approval of the Land Development Regulations in October 1990. This zoning was applied in error, given that the approved site plan was for a related business use. Therefore, a corrective rezoning was approved by the City Commission at its meeting of February 26, 1991 via Ordinance 25-91 changing the zoning from AC to GC (General Commercial). At its meeting of June 25, 1991, the City Commission granted Final Plat approval for the subject property with a waiver from the requirement to install a sidewalk along Dixie Highway. It was noted in the plat staff report, that the building was constructed and operating under a temporary Certificate of Occupancy as the Silk Garden Outlet. Silk Garden Outlet recently moved to South Delray Shopping Center and the structure is vacant. The current owner wishes to rezone the subject property from GC to AC to accommodate an auto repair use. P & Z Board Staff Repod Rezoning from GC to AC for Silk Garden Outlet Page 2 The development proposal is to rezone the Silk Garden Outlet property from General Commercial (GC) to Automotive Commercial (AC). The rezoning is to accommodate an automotive repair shop. The site currently contains a 2,179 square foot building, 11 parking spaces, dumpster enclosure, and associated landscaping. No changes to the site are being proposed at this time. REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3) Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the 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 zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The current Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is General Commercial. The requested zoning change is from General Commercial (GC) to Automotive Commercial (AC). The proposed zoning designation of AC is consistent with the General Commercial Future Land Use Map designation. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.10(D)(6), within the AC zone district, the proposed vehicle repair shop is allowed as a Conditional Use. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to consistency with the Future Land Use Map. 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: n Water service exists to the site via a service lateral connection to an 8" main which is located along the northern property line (a portion of the main is located on the adjacent Saturn Dealership property), and a fire hydrant is located at the northwest corner of the site within Dixie Highway right-of-way. P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from GC to AC for Silk Garden Outlet Page 3 Sewer service exists to the site via a service lateral connection to an existing 6" main from the Saturn Dealership. No water or sewer main extensions or upgrades are required with the change in use. Drainage: Drainage is accommodated via on site swale areas and a French drain which is located within the parking lot. There will be little or no impact with respect to this level of service standard. Traffic: As the intensity of uses within the GC and AC zoning districts are similar, comparable traffic volumes would be generated. With the submittal of the Conditional Use application for the auto repair use, a traffic study must be provided which complies with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. There are no problems anticipated meeting this level of service standard. 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 proposed repair shop will be equal to or less than that generated by the commercial uses allowed under the GC zone district. The Solid Waste Authority indicates in its annual report that the established level of service standards for solid waste will be met for all developments which have been accounted for in their Comprehensive Plan. Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) 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 the making of a finding of overall consistency. A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the following was found: Land Use Elemerlt Policy A-2.4 - Automobile uses are a significant land use within the City and as such they have presented unique concerns. In order to P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from GC to AC for Silk Garden Outlet Page 4 properly control these uses and guide them to locations which best suits the community's future development, the following shall be adhered to: Auto related uses shall not be permitted in the CBD Zone District or within the geographic area along Federal Highway which extends four blocks north and three blocks south of Atlantic Avenue. Automobile dealerships may locate and/or expand west of Federal Highway, or between the one-way pair system (except as restricted above). Automobile dealerships may locate and/or expand east of Federal Highway, only north of N.E. 6th Street, except within the area lying east of Federal Highway north of N.E. 8th Street, or parcels fronting on N.E. 8th Street, and south of the north border of the Flea Market property. Within such excluded area, automobile dealerships may not locate or expand. New dealerships shall not locate nor shall existing dealerships expand south of N.E. 6th Street provided however, that automobile dealerships south of N.E. 6th Street may expand onto adjacent property which is currently in an auto related use and which is zoned to allow such use. Auto related uses which involve the servicing and repair of vehicles, other than as a part of a full service dealership, shall be directed to industrial/commerce areas. If the rezoning is approved, the use on the subject property will be changed from a retail use to an automotive repair shop. The development proposal is consistent with this Policy as the subject property is not located within the CBD zone district or the restrictive geographical area identified above. While the policy directs auto related uses invoiving the servicing and repair of vehicles to industrial/commerce areas, it seems appropriate in this instance to allow the automotive repair use under the AC zoning given the site is surrounded by AC zoning with a full service dealership that also has an auto repair function along Dixie Highway, as do many other dealerships located within this auto related corridor. Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezonirlg Actions): The applicable performance standards of Section 3,3.2 and other policies which apply are as follows: D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use. The subject property is bordered on the north, south and east by AC zoning and to the west by CD (Conservation District) zoning. Morse Saturn Dealership P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from GC to AC for Silk Garden Outlet Page 5 surrounds the parcel to the north, south, and east. Dixie Highway is located to the west, as well as the FEC Railroad and a City owned parcel known as Leon Weekes Environmental Preserve. Compatibility with the adjacent properties is not a concern as the property is surrounded by a car dealership and a preserve area which will remain as a conservation area/passive park. Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings): Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following: a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in error; b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate; c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood. The applicant has submitted a justification statement which states the following: "The reason we need to have the zoning changed is so that we are zoned similar to afl the businesses around us. We are surrounded by all three sides by automotive type businesses. Our lot is to smafl to make it a car lot, but it is ideal for a repair shop.' Comment; The basis for which the rezoning is being sought most closely relates to Item "c". The proposed zoning is similar in intensity as allowed under the General Commercial Future Land Use Map designation. Given the small size of the lot and the surrounding land use of a full service automobile dealership, it is appropriate to rezone the property to AC. Com.oliance with Land Development Regulations: Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on a land development application/request. P & Z Board Staff Report Rezoning from GC to AC for Silk Garden Outlet Page 6 The site is currently developed and no modifications to the site are being requested at this time. The site received a notice of violation for failing to comply with the landscape code, including sodding the site and Dixie Highway right-of-way with St. Augustine 'Floratam', overall maintenance, and replacement of missing or dead material. In addition, a mural was painted on the facade of the building which never obtained SPRAB approval. With the submission of the Conditional Use Application to establish the automobile repair use, the Applicant must address these items. The rezoning is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB (Historic Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). Courtesy Notices: Courtesy Notices have been provided to Town and County and Tropic Palms Homeowners Associations. Public Notice: Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the subject property. Letters of objection and support, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The rezoning from GC (General Commercial) to AC (Automotive Commercial) is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. Also, positive findings can be made with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), that the AC zoning is similar in intensity as allowed under the General Commercial Future Land Use Map designation. A. Continue with direction. B. Recommend rezoning of Silk Garden Outlet from GC to AC based on positive findings with respect to Section 2.4.5(D)(1) (rezoning findings), Section 3.1.1, and the performance standards of Section 3.3.2.

REQUIRED FINDINGS: {Chapter 3): Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the 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 Future Land Use Map, CompatibilitY, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations. With the rezoning action positive findings were made with respect to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations, and the Required Findings for a Conditional Use are discussed below. COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix: Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Conditional Use Approval - Silk Garden Outlet Page 3 Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.10(F), within the AC zone district, the development standards for specialized service shops shall be pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(Matrix). The minimum lot size is 10,000 square feet, lot width 50', and the lot depth 100'. The existing site contains 10,500 square feet with a lot width of 100', and a lot depth of 125'. Therefore, the site meets these development standards. :~--: ~- LDR Section 4.4.10(G)(4)(a) AC District Location Restrictions: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.10(G)(4)(a), repair facilities and paint and body shops shall be located at least 100' feet from any residentially zoned lot. Service bay doors shall not be oriented toward any adjacent residentially zoned property, except where currently existing, nor oriented toward any adjacent public street unless it can be demonstrated to the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board that it is not feasible to comply. The site is surrounded by commercial zoning districts and a conservation district, and is not located in a geographical area where residential zoning is a concern. In addition, the existing bay doors are located along the south facade of the building and are not oriented towards the adjacent right-of-way. Section 4.6.9 Parking: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(5)(b), vehicle paint, body, and repair shops shall provide 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square.feet of gross floor area. Based on the above, the 2,179 square foot structure requires 10 parking spaces and 11 spaces exist on site. The narrative states that approximately 5 cars are serviced per day with three employees.' Two (2) of the 5 cars will be located in the service bays, leaving approximately 6 vehicles to be parked in the lot (3 service cars and 3 employees), and as previously stated 11 parking spaces exist on site. Based on the above, parking should not be an issue. 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. Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Conditional Use Approval - Silk Garden Outlet Page 4 The subject property is bordered on the north, south and east by AC zoning and to the west by CD (Conservation District) zoning. Morse Saturn Dealership surrounds the parcel to the north, south, and east. Dixie Highway is located to the west, as well as the FEC Railroad and a City owned parcel known as Leon Weekes Environmental Preserve. ~:--: ~- The establishment of a specialized service shop in a predominately automotive corridor with numerous types of repair functions located along Dixie Highway will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding neighborhood nor hinder development of nearby properties. Existing Violations: The current owner has been ordered by the Code Enforcement Board to correct landscape violations on the site for failing to comply with the landscape code, including sodding the side and right-of-way of the property, complete maintenance (edging, weeding, mulching, pruning and removal of debris) and replacement of a dead tree. The Board order states that this must be accomplished within 60 days (January 4, 1998). Correcting the existing code violation has been attached as a condition of the Conditional Use approval. In addition to the above, a partial mural was painted on the facade of the building which never obtained SPRAB approval. As a condition of approval it would be appropriate to require that the building be repainted all one color. If the applicant wishes to repaint the building back to its original color (i.e. white) SPRAB approval is not required. The development proposal is not located within a geographical area requiring review by the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) or the DDA (Downtown Development Authority). Site Plan Review and Appearance Board ($PRAB); The site is currently developed and no modifications to the site are being requested at this time which would require review by the SPRAB.

During workshop discussions the City Commission was unable to come to a consensus on certain elements of the proposed LDR changes involving setbacks and the implementation of FAR's to single family zone districts. The City Commission was able to reach a consensus on the proposed changes in definition to height and these changes are now before the City Commission for action. The proposed changes will result in the height being measured as the vertical distance from grade to the highest finished roof surface of a fiat roof or the highest point of the roof of a gable, hip or gambrel roof. The current definition measures the roof height to the mean of a gable, hip and gambrel roof. The new regulations also include a height limit for chimneys, cupolas, or other building appurtenances on single family and duplex structures to a maximum of 5' above the highest part of the proposed structure or the minimum required by the Standard Building Code, which ever is greater. Height of appurtenances on all other buildings are currently addressed under LDR Section 4.3.4. (J)(3). The change in the definition of height will apply to all single family homes west of A-I-A while the height limits to building appurtenances will apply to all single familly and duplex structures City wide.

I intend to be present for the "From the public" part of the meeting to address any questions the council members may have. Thank you; R. Paul & Susan Pfeiffer 56t-272-0323 ~9~97 from: R. Paul & Susan Pfeiffer 820 NW 22nd Ave. Delray Beach, Fla. to: Delray Beach City Council I would like to suggest a simple solution to a hazardous situation in this town. Because of the way they are worded, the signs along the public beach on AIA prevent dog owners from walking in the safety of the public sidewalk. They are forced to risk their pet's and their own safety by walking on the west side of the road to the north or south end of the Public Beach. It is not illegal, as I understand it, to exercise our pets past either end of the Public Beach on the private beaches. I suggest changing the wording on the signs on the beach to read, "NO DOGS ALLOWED ON PUBLIC BEACH". I think everyone wins if this is done. Dogs are still NOT allowed on the Public Beach and pet owners are allowed to use the safety of the public sidewalk to get where they are going. Of course current standards of cleaning up after our pets will be maintained. The cost of changing the signs should be quite Iow when compared to the legal and medical expenses that would be involved if someone or their pet accidentally got struck by a car because they were net allowed to walk in the safety of the public sidewalk. Thank you for considering this suggestion. Sincerely; Pet Owners R. Paul & Susan Pfeiffer 561-272-0323
