WORKSHOP AGENDA
1.Restricting Times for Construction in Residential Neighborhoods
Janet Meeks, Education Coordinator provided background information concerning a
proposed ordinance amending LDR Sections 2.4.6 and 4.4.3 Single Family Residential (R-1)
Districts by adding a section regulating construction site conditions.
The Neighborhood Advisory Council had received a letter from the Beach Property
Owner’s Association (BPOA) indicating that, with the building boom, the residents living on
the barrier island have experienced various problems with developers working in
neighborhoods. The complaints focused around noisy construction activities commencing
early in the morning and extending well past dinner time; deliveries made on weekends as
well as weekdays; construction vehicles and workers’ vehicles parked on residential streets
resulting in congestion and impassible streets; creation of private property damage and theft;
construction trash; and unsightly conditions of construction sites. The BPOA asked if the
Neighborhood Advisory Council would be willing to help address these issues to strike a
better balance between the needs of the developers and the ability of residents to enjoy their
homes.
Construction issues were discussed and it was the consensus of the Commission to clarify
some of the issues dealing with the differences between permitted and non-permitted jobs,
and to proceed with the proposed ordinance.
2.Performance Measures for Golf and Tennis
Robert Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, provided information on the revised proposed
performance measures for the Municipal Golf Course, Lakeview Golf Course, and the
Tennis Facilities for Fiscal Year 2006.
During the December 13, 2005 City Commission Meeting, proposed FY 2006 performance
measures for the Municipal Golf Course, Lakeview Golf Course and the Tennis Facilities
were presented. The Commission moved to table the item, requesting additional
information and research. On the revised proposed performance measures, adjustments had
been made that were somewhat less sensitive to impacts such as a hurricane and a bonus
point provision which was added for each operation.
It was the consensus of the Commission to proceed with the revised proposed performance
measures for Fiscal Year 2006, and it was agreed the proposal was well done.
3.Post Hurricane Evaluation of Fire Station #4
Richard Hasko, Environmental Services Director, provided background information on the
Non-Destructive Survey and Post Hurricane Analysis, regarding Fire Station #4, performed
by Currie Sowards Aguila Architects. The report was an evaluation of the condition of the
facility in terms of the damage sustained from Hurricane Wilma, as well as, the overall
condition based on the structure’s age and adaptability to current needs of the Fire Rescue
services supported at that location. Direction was requested regarding what approach
needed to be taken in effecting repairs and improvements to the facility. Options included
making necessary repairs to the facility to mitigate storm damage, or completely replace the
facility and construct a new structure that conforms to current code requirements and
provides adequate modern facilities to support the services provided.
It was the consensus of the Commission to replace Fire Station #4.
4.Banner Hanging Policy
Robert Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, presented background information concerning the
City of Delray Beach’s Banner Hanging Policy which included Standard Banners, Signature
Banners, and Special Event Banners. Discussion ensued regarding issues including costs, and
the man-power involved in installation and removal of banners.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the banner issues needed more thought before
proceeding.
Mayor Perlman adjourned the Workshop Meeting at 7:13 p.m.
