an approval for an Interlocal Agreement between Palm Beach County and the City of

also includes the rights-of-way for Lincoln, Jefferson, and Whatley Road. The balance of
the Country Club Acres subdivision is being simultaneously annexed by either voluntary
annexation or annexation agreements contained III executed water agreements.
Infrastructure upgrades are proposed upon the annexation which is approved in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and are a cost sharing between the County and the City
and the numbers are subject to the Interlocal Agreement approved by City Commission
on June 15,2004. The Future Land Use amendment and rezoning of the subject property
to City designations will follow annexation and be included in the upcoming
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be adopted in September 2005. The County
Commission will consider this Interlocal Agreement at their Commission meeting of May

At its meeting of March 21,2005, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing in conjunction with this request. There was public testimony from one of
the residents (property owner) and her main concern was the approximate date in which
improvements will be concluded. After discussing the proposal, the Board voted 5-0 to

subject to Palm Beach County Land Use and Zoning designations until the City adopts a
comprehensive plan amendment and related zonings.

9.D. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT/PALM BEACH
COUNTY/THOROUGH FARE PLAN: Consider approval of an Interlocal Agreement
with Palm Beach County to provide 120 days notice if the County or any municipality
desires to reduce the capacity on the roadway from the County's Thoroughfare Plan.
The City Manager stated the League of Cities has worked on this for quite
some time and explained that this is a process of notification if the City would like to
change a road and provide 120 days notice. He stated the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) will either do an analysis or look at analyses that have been done
and determine the traffic impact and the parties involved can try to resolve any issues. If
not, the jurisdiction in which the road lies can still move forward with that agreement but
it is a process that allows everyone to know what is happening and to attempt to resolve
any conflicts in advance. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
Mrs. Ellis asked if the roads listed in the agenda backup will be the only
roads that are involved in the agreement. The City Manager stated one of the advantages
that the League of Cities is doing is they are suggesting that most of the cities in the
County adopt this because if you are a party to the agreement that entitles you to notice.
For example, the City Manager stated if the roads were being changed in Boynton Beach
or Boca which impacted the City of Delray Beach, we would receive notice about it as a
signatory to the agreement.
Ms. McCarthy moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement with Palm
Beach County to provide 120 days notice if the County or any municipality desires to

was free; however, the sign still reads on the window that age five and under are free and
age five and above is $1.00 plus tax. He reiterated children are on a quest to Aqua Crest
Pool and are doing things other than swimming. Mr. Glover stated swimming lessons are
vital to the youth particularly because we live in Florida. He distributed photographs to
the Commission of the Pompey Park Pool and requested that the prices be removed from
the window at the entrance of the pool because the pool is free.

recreation card for $5.00 a year and can get into the pool free once this card is purchased.

With regard to prior concerns expressed by residents regarding the
condition of the gym floor at Pompey Park, the City Manager stated last week the City
awarded a contract to replace the gym floor with a new wood floor. In addition, he stated
the City has added an incentive to the contract whereas if the contractor completes the
floor early he will receive an additional incentive payment.
The City Manager stated the City has a shortage of gym space and there
are many competing events especially for the Community Center. He stated when one of
the City's gyms is not available this does impact the Youth Sports Program. He stated in
the past the City has used the gyms at Carver and at the Delray Full Service Center;
however, for various reasons, those facilities have not been available this year. The City
Manager stated staff will work on obtaining an alternative location, try to disrupt the
practice and game schedule as little as possible, and will be sure that the youth have a
gym to use.
13. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS.
B.A. City Mana2er
The City Manager stated the League of Cities Board of Directors would
like to appoint Commissioner Levinson as the alternate seat on the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council.
He stated if anyone is interested there is an opening for an alternate
member on the Impact Fee Review Committee.
The City Manager stated the Annual Palm Beach County League of Cities
Gala Dinner and Installation has been moved from Saturday, May 14, 2005 to Saturday,
May 21,2005.

in a total impact of approximately $1.1 million.

The City Attorney stated this pertains to budgeting for certain dispatch
services and the City of Del ray Beach has joined in with Boca in this pursuit of obtaining
some equity out of possible double taxation issues and as part of this process before filing
suit, the City of Delray Beach is required to have a dispute resolution conference which
staff had at the Palm Beach County Governmental Center. She stated the next step
required under Florida Statute is to have a joint meeting of the City of Boca Raton City
Commission, City of Delray Beach City Commission, and the Palm Beach County
Commission. The City Attorney stated this joint meeting is in the process of being
scheduled and after this joint meeting the next step is to hold a mandatory mediation.

Secondly, the City Attorney stated she had a conversation with Lisa King
today regarding the Florida Communities Trust Grants Bill. Ms. King reported that she
did contact Senator Dudley's office and they were unable to find a Bill that they could
tack it on to. Therefore, the City Attorney stated it is very unlikely that this Bill will
pass.
13.C. City Commission
13.C.1. Mrs. Ellis
Mrs. Ellis had no comments or inquires on non-agenda items.
13.C.2. Mr. Levinson
Mr. Levinson stated he is a little taken back from Mr. Glover's comments
because the day after Mr. Glover was before the Commission (April 6th) there was a
large article in the Delray Times that had a front page picture of several children taking
swimming lessons at the Pompey Park Pool. Mr. Levinson stated he is distressed that
after the Commission discussed this at the City Commission meeting of AprilS, 2005, the
sign has still not been removed and he feels the City needs to be very particular in the
way in which we advertise our City services. In addition, Mr. Levinson stated he thought
it was made clear when the City purchased the Rec- Trac software that one of the
purposes of having it at each of the locations was so that a Rec- Trac card could be
provided at each location. The City Manager stated he believes this card can be provided
at each of these locations. Mr. Levinson agreed with the City Manager and asked that
staff confirm this. The City Manager stated he believes the sign is accurate; however,
concurs the sign should also address the recreation card option.
Secondly, he stated the Old School Square event on Saturday night was
terrific.
He commented about the United States Tennis Association (USTA)
negotiations and stated this is timely because they will be here in Delray.
Mr. Levinson stated in the Sunday Sun-Sentinel News "What's Going on
in Delray" it stated the Commission did not meet last week. He stated the City
Commission met in a Goal Setting session from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m.
- 8:00 p.m. the City Commission met in a Workshop meeting. He stated he feels the
newspaper was inaccurate in talking about the City of Delray Beach necessarily only
being interested in getting FED Cup and Davis Cup forever here because there is a lot
more to a relationship with the USTA than just that.
Mr. Levinson stated he would like to see the City of Delray Beach
establish some kind of relationship with the USTA and asked if this could be discussed at
the end of the meeting tonight.

13.C.3. Ms. McCarthy
Ms. McCarthy had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items.
13.CA. Mayor Perlman

Channel 12.
He stated the Old School Square event was well done and well attended.
He stated Frances Bourque would like to be involved in the Cultural Plan that was

projects.
He stated he attended the World Trade Center Luncheon at the Broward
Convention Center last week and sat with Glenda Hood, Secretary of State. He stated she
is a very big fan of Delray particularly Delray's Youth and Historic Preservation for
economic development. He stated having been former Mayor of Orlando she
understands municipal issues and uses Delray Beach across the State as an example of
how to jump-start revitalization around historic preservation. In addition, Mayor Perlman
stated other people at the table were Consul Generals from Malaysia, Jamaica, Trinidad,
Tabago and Canada. The incoming President from Sister Cities International in Fort
Lauderdale would like to get together with Delray's Sister Cities group because he feels
Delray Beach has many good things in place with the youth (i.e. exchange programs).
Mayor Perlman stated he attended the USTA Event last week and had the
opportunity to give trophies to the 12 and under girls and noted a local West Palm Beach
girl won the championship. He stated over 300 tennis players from all over the country
were there in addition to their parents, coaches, and siblings. He stated this had a great
economic impact for the City of Delray Beach and we will receive some national
exposure from this event.
Mayor Perlman stated the USTA is holding a press conference on April
20, 2005 at 3:00 p.m. with the Williams' sisters, Zina Garrison (coach), Corina Morariu,
and Lindsay Davenport who will be donating a practice wall to Pine Grove Elementary
School. He stated approximately 150 honor roll students will have the opportunity to hit
the tennis ball with Venus and Serena Williams.
He stated that the FCT grants are critical. Mr. Levinson stated this needs

Jackie Allen, 4929 Lincoln Road, Delray Beach, stated property owners
on Lincoln Road are concerned over the traffic cutting through on their street. She
suggested that a concrete fence (i.e. Shadywoods I and Shadywoods II) or a ficus hedge
(i.e. Lakeside Townhouses or Country Club Acres) be placed along Military Trail with a
sign at the entrance of Military Trail and Jefferson Road. Ms. Allen briefly spoke in
opposition of any consideration of making Lincoln Road a one-way street.

the property is annexed. Mr. Dorling stated the City held two public hearings earlier this

Dorling stated the streets will be public streets and staff has no intention of supporting
one-way streets.

considered an extension under 2.4.4(E)(2). Thus, once litigation has concluded, the time
frame to establish a project shall be twenty-four (24) months; unless the litigation is not
resolved with seven (7) years from the initial date of approval, then the extension
procedures ofLDR Section 2.4.4(F)(1), (2), and (3) would apply.

Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated on February 15,
2005, the City Commission adopted amendments to the LDR's to modify the RM
(Medium Density Residential) zoning district regulations to implement the density
provisions in the Workforce Housing ordinance. This amendment included modifications
to certain development standards so that 24 units per acre could be accommodated within
the Southwest Neighborhood Overlay District.
Although the intent of these modifications was to allow for increased
density in developments providing Workforce Housing, the specific language of the
amendment failed to make this distinction. Therefore, the new standards apply to all
development within the Overlay District. The amendment is being proposed to correct
this error by limiting the setback reductions/changes to developments providing
workforce housing.
At its meeting of March 21,2005, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing regarding this item and there was no public input on the amendment. The
Board voted 5-0 (Joseph Pike and Charles Walker absent), to recommend approval of the
amendment.

Commission Levinson stepped away from the dais.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated the proposed FLUM
amendment and rezoning involves three properties totaling 0.42 acres within the Marina
Historic District. The existing FLUM designation of CF (Community Facilities) and
zoning of CF are inappropriate for the property given the existing use of the properties.
The FLUM amendment and rezoning will correct a mapping error and result in FLUM
and zoning consistency for the properties. No new development or redevelopment is
proposed as part of this request.
At its meeting of March 21,2005, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing in conjunction with the request. There was no public testimony regarding
the proposal. After discussing the proposal, the Board voted 5-0 (Joseph Pike and
Charles Walker absent) to recommend approval of the corrective Future Land Use Map
amendment and rezoning.

Commissioner Levinson returned to the dais.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was
held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida
and the Charter of the City of Del ray Beach, Florida.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated currently the LDR's
require a delay in the issuance of building permits when you are considering a historic
district and there was some concern raised during the Swinton Avenue and Dell-Park
Historic District process. The proposed amendment to the LDR's is to eliminate the
freeze period on the issuance of permits once a public hearing date for a historic
designation is established. The intent of the provision is to prevent or defer the
immediate demolition or significant alteration of historically contributing structures
during the designation process. The provision does not allow the issuance of permits for
proposals that are in the permit review process or for proposals where the preparation of
plans is nearing completion.
At its meeting of March 21,2005, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing regarding the proposed text amendment. There was no public testimony

No one from the public came forward to speak: on comments and inquiries .-
on non-agenda items.
At this point, the Commission moved to discussion regarding the UST A.
Mr. Levinson stated he would like to see the City of Delray Beach
establish some kind of relationship with the USTA. He stated he would hope staff could
talk to them not just about a permanent home for the Davis Cup and the Fed Cup, but he
feels having a winter home for them here in terms of staff or other kinds of things as well
besides just the Fed Cup and the Davis Cup makes sense.
The City Manager stated he had discussions today with Brahm Dubin and
Bob Barcinski about where this is going and one of the things discussed was that the
Mayor will attend the dinner at the Mar-a-Lago Club and will have the opportunity to
speak to the President of the USTA. The City Manager stated the only time slot the City
has available is April so the City is exploring the idea of having one or the other or even
having both the FED Cup and Davis Cup in April. He stated as the newspaper indicated
this is very early preliminary discussions. He stated the UST A likes Delray and feels this
is an opportunity for perhaps more than just an event.
Mayor Perlman stated the City has several days to network with members
of the UST A. Mr. Levinson stated he would like to see the City go beyond an event
based relationship and would love to see the UST A open an office in Delray Beach. -
There being no further business, Mayor Perlman declared the meeting
adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
