5.B. From the Public.
5.B.1. Jim Smith, 1225 South Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(speaking on behalf of S.A.F.E.), apologized for losing his temper at the last City
Commission meeting when he was afraid that his wife after waiting for four (4) hours
was not going to be able to speak in favor of building a sidewalk on Hibiscus Road. Mr.
Smith stated it is important to him, his wife, and all the pedestrians who walk that road
because it is unsafe walking in the street. He stated Hibiscus Road is the first through
street off AIA north of Linton Boulevard and it is used as a backup street route
alternative to AIA by many residents. Mr. Smith stated Hibiscus Road is a very short
street and there are only two houses connecting AIA to Seagate Drive which continues to
Gleason Street all the way to Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Smith stated many drivers turning
onto Hibiscus Road from Seagate do not stop or slow down when turning onto Hibiscus
Road. He urged the City to inform residents when a request for an in -lieu sidewalk
comes up so that they can come speak about it.
5.B.2. Ron Nobili, 159 Marine Way, Slip #15, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(member of the discriminated class of residents livinIz within the Marina Historic
District), expressed concern that Ordinance No. 05-15 is flawed and discriminatory. Mr.
Nobili suggested that there be a better solution where everyone can live in harmony
without jeopardizing the original intent of Ordinance No. 05-15.
5.B.3. Pauline Moody, 609 S.W. 8th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, stated
her television was stolen and she entered the Police Report into the record. In addition,
Ms. Moody stated she did not attend the last City Commission meeting because she had
health problems.
Secondly, Ms. Moody expressed concern about the way she is being
treated by some employees and she has brought this to the City Manager's attention.
Ms. Moody commented about the Federal Highway Beautification Project
but she stated it is disastrous getting to the bus by Big Al's Steaks. She asked when this
project will be completed. Ms. Moody requested that the City remove the big tree that is
in the middle of the bus stop because it blocks the entire bus stop.
5.B.4. Arie Whiteman, 5091 Washington Road, Delray Beach, FL 33484,
stated over the years Delray Beach has experienced a great deal of success with several
local organizations such as the DDA, DBMC, and the CRA and they have done a
phenomenal job with revitalizing the city especially the downtown and the beach area.
2
07/07/15
Mr. Whiteman urged the Commission to join a coalition with those organizations and
focus on redeveloping the west side from Swinton Avenue to I-95.
5.13.5. Jim Chard, 401 S.E. 4th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483 (Human
Powered Delray and SPRAB member), stated SPRAB recently made a decision in
compliance with the Quasi-judicial rules to turn sixty (60) full grown mature trees into
mulch on The Metropolitan Development. Mr. Chard stated the developer is willing to
work with the citizens group to save those trees and put them where they are needed. He
suggested that the City put together a task force and try to accomplish the following
goals: (1) save mature trees instead of turning them into mulch, (2) move trees slated for
mulching to locations where they are needed, (3) increase the tree canopy, (4) minimize
wastewater run-off, and (5) create a Tree Board, an Urban Forester, or an Arborist.
5.B.6. Allen Zeller, 26 Marine Way, Delray Beach, FL 33483, thanked the
City Commission for taking the time in making the effort to bring it to the attention of an
outside traffic engineer to review it. Mr. Zeller stated he has looked at the report and
understands that Option #2 being recommended by the developer and traffic engineer
appears to be the better of the two (2) proposals. He requested that there be further
tweaking of Option #2 so that the roadway can be a two-way roadway into the site and
also access the garage. Also, with respect to the exit off 7th Avenue, Mr. Zeller requested
that the exit off 7th Avenue to Atlantic Avenue have signage installed to state "Federal
Highway to the right" so that the trucks and other cars would not go directly across
Atlantic Avenue down 7th Avenue into the Marina Historic District which is already
having an overflow of traffic, in particular with the Atlantic Crossing project coming in.
He stated if something were to occur where 7th Avenue were blocked off because of a fire
or an accident there is virtually no access by fire equipment to get into that site.
5.B.7. Mitzi Kaitz, 331 N.E. 8th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, echoed
comments expressed by Mr. Zeller regarding the access that the trucks will have for the
Atlantic Crossing Project and stated the developers did not address this in the last
meeting. Ms. Kaitz stated she does not know where the trucks are coming in and out of
or where they are going to park. She urged staff to make this part of the agreement that
the City provides them.
5.B.8. Alan Schlossberg, 200 MacFarlane Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483,
stated the Atlantic Crossing design plan does not take into consideration the outside
traffic reality that will impact numerous communities because this is the busiest area in
Delray Beach. Mr. Schlossberg stated the Atlantic Court two-way road should be non-
negotiable as it was previously approved and agreed upon until changed by the developer.
He stated the residents have overwhelmingly requested it. Mr. Schlossberg stated they
have been advised that the road above the underground garages cannot accommodate
two-way traffic and that some structural improvements may be necessary. He stated it is
expected that there will be a lot of moving trucks/delivery trucks, garbage trucks, and
fire/emergency vehicles which needs to be thoroughly planned out. Mr. Schlossberg
urged the Commission that any final decisions that are made will be those that we can
live with and one that includes a two-way Atlantic Court.
3
07/07/15
5.13.9. Bob Gamer, Florida Coalition, stated whatever the Commission does
with respect to the two (2) options that they carefully look at the parking plan for the
underground garage as well.
Commissioner Katz thanked and congratulated Mr. Ganger who was
recently recognized by the Florida League of Cities for legislative work in this past
session on behalf of the entire city.
5.11.10. Charlie Dortch, 112 S.E. 7th Avenue 92, Delray Beach, FL 33483
(Marina Historic District), read a letter from Bruce Leiner, President of the Harbour
House Condominium Association into the record.
Secondly, Mr. Dortch stated he attended the fireworks at the Intracoastal
in the Marina Historic District and this was the best handled traffic situation in 25 years
that he has ever seen.
5.13.11. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane #2110, Delray
Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray
Beach and Member of the Alliance), thanked Mayor Glickstein for going the extra mile
to get this and Carl DeSantis who had no legal obligation for giving the City the plan for
Atlantic Crossing. Dr. Kirson stated the City is being sued for failure to give a final plat.
Dr. Kirson stated he is not in favor of what was done, but feels the developer has the
rights.
5.13.12. Jeff Costello, Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment
Aizency (CRA), stated the CRA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for
professional services related to the design for the Center of the Arts Old School Square
Park. Mr. Costello stated there is a Selection Committee with representatives from the
City, CRA, and the Center for the Arts, West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition
(WARC), as well as the Public Arts Advisory Board (PAAB).
5.B.13. Dr. Robert George, commented about the Release of Right of Reverter
encumbering the real property with respect to the Old Library Site and Chamber of
Commerce relocation. Dr. George stated approximately one (1) month ago he came
before the Commission and pointed out some things and noted that this Release of Right
of Reverter has already been signed, and in his opinion, there is some question as to the
validity of this Release of Right of Reverter with regard to public hearings, etc. He urged
the Commission to consider all points that have been made.
6. AGENDA APPROVAL.

REGULAR AGENDA:
8.A. REPORT ON ATLANTIC CROSSING: Presentation by Simmons &
White of its review of the two proposed site plan access alternatives for the Atlantic
Crossing project.
6
07/07/15
The City Attorney stated at the conclusion of the Special Meeting on June
16, 2015, the City Commission directed staff to engage a traffic engineer selected by the
City to evaluate the two proposed site plan amendments that were proposed by the
developer to replace what was the former Atlantic Court. The City Attorney stated no
vote was taken and it did not require that the item come back to the City Commission but
that staff meet with the developer for the purpose of trying to implement whatever
preferred road design was selected by that traffic engineer. The City Attorney stated for
purposes of transparency and public discussion, staff prepared a presentation for tonight
by the Engineering firm that prepared a review, an analysis, and a recommendation with
respect to those two site plans. The City Attorney stated the City retained the firm of
Simmons & White.
Robert F. Rennebaum, President with Simmons & White (Registered
Professional Engineer for approximately 30 years), 2581 Metrocentre Boulevard,
Suite #3, West Palm Beach, FL 33407, stated Simmons & White has been retained to
evaluate two options as an alternative to an approved site plan.; the developer is offering
two alternatives to determine whether or not this is something that can make it better.
Mr. Rennebaum stated this was in a traffic concurrency exemption area and it qualifies
for the coastal residential exemption.
Mr. Rennebaum stated Option #1 is a Two -Way Surface Street/Mid-
Block All under the approved site plan the frontage on Federal Highway had an in and
out into an underground parking garage and as an alternative, he presented a two-way
surface street/mid-block alley; the northwest quadrant of the center has an underground
parking garage that under the approved site plan has access off Federal Highway and a
secondary access off N.E. 7th Avenue. Mr. Rennebaum stated this first alternative
eliminates the access into the parking garage from Federal Highway and this parking
garage is served now from a single access; it eliminates in and out from Federal Highway
into the parking garage and the garage functions with one access point. Mr. Rennebaum
stated it was made clear to them and by the developer that the movement from the
parking garage (a U-turn) to get out back to Federal Highway cannot be made because
that is too tight a radius. He stated vehicles can come in and be directed to the central
core; they cannot come out and make the turn. Mr. Rennebaum stated a "pro" of Option
#1 provides a mid -block two-way surface street to that central core, it responds to the
community's request in the previous public hearings; however, a "con" of Option #1
would be that it takes away the access from Federal Highway directly into the parking
garage and reduces the North/Westerly parking garage access to a single point at that
central core. Mr. Rennebaum stated you cannot get from the parking garage back out to
Federal Highway with the U-turn movement. Mr. Rennebaum stated with respect to the
two-way surface street when people come in from Federal Highway on that surface road
into the project and into the central area, it creates a huge congestion/conflict point with
people coming in from the valet and the other parking garage trying to get out, and the
North/South traffic on N.E. 7th Avenue. Mr. Rennebaum stated people have the
perception that a parking garage in an urban area right off the main drag will cause
congestion with people coming in and how the gates are operated; the original proposal
has the gates set back a distance from Federal Highway and Federal Highway is
controlled by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Mr. Rennebaum stated it
7
07/07/15
has been represented to them that the alternatively approved site plan with access directly
into the parking garage has been analyzed and approved by FDOT under their access
management approval process. He stated in looking at the approved site plan and the
distance from the entry to the garage back to Federal Highway is referred to as a "throat
length" or a "reservoir" on that access way into the underground garage. In his
professional opinion, Mr. Rennebaum stated it is more likely to have backups and
congestion under this alternative from this conflict point all the way back onto Federal
Highway.
from
Mr. Rennebaum stated Option #2 — One-Wav Eastbound into the
GaraLye from Federal Highwav and a One-Wav Westbound out of the site
— by making it a one-way into the
parking garage and a one-way out surface street there is now the room for passenger car
U-turns out of the parking garage. Mr. Rennebaum reviewed the "pros" of this option
which are the one-way surface street to Federal Highway from the central core which
eliminates that eastbound surface street into that conflict point and it does still provide a
direct access into the parking garage from Federal Highway and maintains two access
points to that significant parking structure. Mr. Rennebaum stated the internal geometry
now allows for that U-turn and return of vehicles from the parking garage in the
Northwest corner back out to Federal Highway and the reality of reduced congestion at
that key conflict point at the central area, as well as the potential for backups onto Federal
Highway because of congestion at that main point at N.E. 7th Avenue and the alley. Mr.
Rennebaum stated from a "con" standpoint this option eliminates the direct exit from the
parking garage out to Federal Highway, and it does not prioritize what the Commission
has heard from the public that they would like to see a two-way surface street. In his
opinion, Mr. Rennebaum stated Option #2 with the one-way surface street is the best
option.
Brief discussion by the Commission ensued.
Mr. Katz asked if the trucks coming in and out every day are being taken
into consideration. Mr. Rennebaum stated the trucks with a development like this are
closely regulated by the users; any urban core deliveries (i.e. the route and the timing) is
closely controlled and predetermined and agreed upon by the vendors and the owners of
the facilities and they would have to go to 1St or Atlantic. Mr. Katz asked if a better
option would be to have a two-way road with ingress into the garage or you continue
would that have been a better option if it had been available. Mr. Rennebaum stated any
benefits of an eastbound surface road into that central core would be far outweighed by
the negatives of adding that movement at that central point/congestion point at that
location. Mr. Katz expressed concern that the second the parking garage is full (with
thousands of cars a day like the engineers have said) that all the cars and traffic will go
over to N.E. 1St Street and come in on N.E. 7th Avenue or south to Atlantic Avenue. Mr.
Katz stated a "pro" of the two-way is that there is a relief valve that can still go east. Mr.
Rennebaum stated disbursing the traffic to N.E. 7th Avenue from the north or the south
from Atlantic Avenue or N.E. 1St Street is a better option rather than directing everybody
right to the central point. Mr. Katz reiterated that there is no relief valve except for N.E.
1St Street which is a residential street.
07/07/15
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet thanked Mr. Rennebaum for his report that
Option #2 makes more sense.
Mayor Glickstein asked Mr. Rennebaum that whether it is Option #1 or
Option #2, does he believe that it represents a fundamental improvement over what he is
considering the approved site plan. Mr. Rennebaum stated the approved site plan is a
better option than alternative #1 that was presented. Mayor Glickstein inquired about
alternative #2. Mr. Rennebaum stated he does not believe that alternative #2 is a
significant or substantial clear improvement, but he feels it is a slight improvement over
what he is considering the approved site plan.
Mayor Glickstein expressed concern over a numerical discrepancy in the
Kimley-Horn report on an exhibit study that indicates 2,200 daily trips. Mr. Rennebaum
stated the total project trips and everything from the Kimley-Horn report that when
everything is torn down and at full build out they are going to be generating 6,400 daily
trips, but the vested trips from the office, retail, etc. are generating about 4,200 trips (the
difference between everything that is going to be out there subtract the credit for what is
out there now the net difference is approximately 2,000 trips). Mr. Rennebaum stated
6,400 are complete trips when everything is built out. Mayor Glickstein stated Kimley-
Horn represented at their last meeting for purposes of this analysis of Option #1 and
Option #2 that they used peak hours and asked Mr. Rennebaum if those numbers
represent peak hours to him. Mr. Rennebaum stated all traffic engineers are mandated to
use this peak hour standard; the County's traffic performance standards used to be a daily
standard of 6,000 trips, but that is not a factor in the technical analysis in the approval by
the County and staff.
Brief discussion between Mayor Glickstein and Mr. Rennebaum followed
about the term mid -block alley.
Mayor Glickstein stated he feels there is a perception issue here relative to
what they are trying to accomplish. Mayor Glickstein feels that most people would look
at this and agree that this does not look like the street that was proposed which was an
iteration of this site plan with Atlantic Court (two-way traffic, parallel parking on each
side) and although it was a mid -block circumstance it had the perception and feel of a
fully functioning road. Mayor Glickstein stated they should not be focused on the
perception but rather what is going to function better. Mayor Glickstein stated this
perception of a fully functioning road is not there and has been now replaced in these
proposals with something less of that and he asked Mr. Rennebaum to explain in terms of
the importance of what was proposed and what is proposed and whether the City is in a
better place now than before. Mr. Rennebaum stated for the single reason of avoiding a
surface entrance into that central core, he believes the City is in a better place with
Option #2; Option #1 with the two-way surface road sounds identical from a traffic
standpoint with the Atlantic Court concept incorporating some parallel parking and
introducing that surface eastbound movement into that central area and introducing that
congestion and conflict, Mr. Rennebaum stated this is the overwhelming criteria for his
position. Mayor Glickstein asked Mr. Rennebaum to explain the pedestrian piece in
terms of the internal conflicts. Mr. Rennebaum stated eliminating one more movement
9
07/07/15
with what is going to be a pedestrian heavy area is a benefit. Mayor Glickstein stated
internal circulation is going to be management controlled which is not uncommon and he
sees the possibility of early morning deliveries using Option #2 for eastbound deliveries;
if that road had load barring capacity you can move trucks eastbound on that road using
that westbound lane.
Mr. Katz commented about Mr. Rennebaum's statement in the Agenda
backup under the level of service of adjacent intersections and roadways "Option #1
creates slightly better accessibility than Option #2 by allowing both ingress and egress to
the interior of the site while Option #2 only allows ingress directly to the garage. This
better accessibility equates to more dispersion of traffic onto and off the adjacent
roadway network." Mr. Rennebaum stated Option #1 creates better surface accessibility
from Federal Highway at that driveway location, but when moving easterly to the internal
circulation, that congestion and introducing that conflict overweighs that. Mr. Katz
reiterated his concern that this is going to send all that traffic to N.E. 1St Street. Mr. Katz
stated if that driveway was just 50 feet north so that people could make a U-turn then it
would avoid that conflict. Mr. Rennebaum stated if you move it from a mid -block right
into the central core and move it another quarter of the way up, it may change the
analysis a little bit. Mr. Katz stated this is something that the Commission has not been
presented with, but if the developer looked at moving that then Option #1 becomes
potentially a better option. Mr. Rennebaum stated they would have to look at it.
The City Attorney stated based on the direction from the Special Meeting
on June 16, 2015 and based on the recommendation of the traffic engineer this evening,
he will meet with the developer to see if staff and the developer can mutually agree upon
a process to amend the site plan to put in what they now tonight have called Option #2.
The City Attorney stated he has had a series of conference calls with the developer and
counsel; it's included co -counsel and he has arranged later this month to have a sit down
meeting. The City Attorney stated simultaneous with that process with co -counsel they
will file as appropriate the responses they feel are necessary to defend the position of the
City with respect to that litigation. The City Attorney stated he will provide the
Commission with an update regularly and he expects a lawsuit formally served on the
City later this week and the City will then have forty (40) days to file a response to the
pleading. Therefore, the City Attorney stated the City's first response to the litigation
will occur in the middle of August.
At this point, the time being 7:19 p.m., the Commission moved to the duly
advertised Public Hearings portion of the Agenda.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SUBSECTION 4.5.1(E)(6),
"RELOCATION," TO ESTABLISH REGULATIONS
AND GUIDELINES REGARDING THE RELOCATION
OF BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURES WITHIN, TO, OR
FROM HISTORIC DISTRICTS OR SITES; BY
ENACTING SECTION 7.10.11, "HISTORIC
STRUCTURES," TO ESTABLISH A HISTORIC
STRUCTURE RELOCATION BOND, AND TO
PROVIDE FOR FORFEITURE OF SAME FOR
FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY RELOCATE A
HISTORIC STRUCTURE; PROVIDING A SAVING
CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 13-15 is on file in the City Clerk's
office.)
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 Delray Beach, Florida.
Mark McDonnell, Assistant Director of Planning and Zoning, presented
this item to the Commission.
Mayor Glickstein declared the public hearing open.
Gary Eliopoulos, 205 Georl4e Bush Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL
33483 (GE Architecture), stated if you want to move a structure you must be a certified
licensed house mover not a general contractor. He stated the homes that he has moved
have been based on passion and commitment to historic preservation of these homes. Mr.
Eliopoulos stated a lot of the restrictions in the ordinance are actually thrown back onto
the owner and the architects, and he feels these restrictions may hurt them in long-term.
Claudia Willis, 160 Marine Way, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated a
building does not have to be relocated to be saved and the Secretary of Interior Standards
is against relocation.
There being no one else from the public who wished to address the
Commission regarding Ordinance No. 13-15, the public hearing was closed.
Brief discussion by Mayor Glickstein and Mr. Eliopoulos ensued about the
requirement that house movers must be licensed by the State. The City Attorney stated
this change would need to be incorporated into the ordinance.
13
07/07/15
Amy Alvarez, Senior Planner/Historic Preservation, stated most of the
ordinance applies to contributing properties, individually designated properties, and
eligible historic properties (structures that will be relocated into the district). Ms. Alvarez
stated the criteria and the relocation plan applies to all of those; the relocation bond does
not apply to the ones moving into the district because the City did not want that to
discourage them.
Mayor Glickstein asked if there is anything in the ordinance that would be
prohibitive to somebody doing what Mr. Eliopoulos has suggesting bringing a house into
the district. Ms. Alvarez stated she does not believe the criteria are prohibitive.
In his opinion, Mayor Glickstein suggested that the ordinance reflect that
you keep intact what you have for things already in the district adding the element of only
a State licensed home mover can even move a house if it is approved and incentivize
people to increase the quantity of historic structures in a district. Ms. Alvarez stated she
believes staff has done everything they can to look at contributors and individually
designated structures. Ms. Alvarez emphasized that we do not want to dis-incentivize.
Mr. Katz suggested that the Commission pass this ordinance tonight and
create an ordinance in order to incentivize people to bring those homes into the district.
Mayor Glickstein suggested that staff look at best practices in other places
and see what they have done to create real incentives and talk to people like Mr.
Eliopoulos that have moved a lot of houses that are in the design field and what they feel
would be a compelling argument that they could make to a client which is why you want
to do this. Ms. Alvarez stated there are varying types of incentives and the primary one
being the ad valorem tax exemption (which the City has now) where you are eligible for a
ten year tax exemption on the increased value based upon improvements from a historic
property.
After brief discussion, Mayor Glickstein stated he supports moving
forward and staff coming back to the Commission with a sister ordinance that would
create some incentives for people to specifically add to the City's historic housing stock.
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet gave a few brief comments and stated since
one of the Commissioners who was very passionate about this is not present this evening
he suggested that the Commission table this item.
Brief discussion followed by the Commission and Ms. Alvarez.
Mr. Katz supports moving forward with this and thanked Ms. Alvarez for
all her work on this ordinance between the first reading and second reading.
Mr. Katz moved to adopt Ordinance No. 13-15 on Second and FINAL

8.K. AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO TRIPARTY INTERLOCAL
AGREEMENT FOR THE RELEASE OF RIGHT OF REVERTER
ENCUMBERING REAL PROPERTY RELATIVE TO THE OLD LIBRARY
SITE AND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RELOCATION: Motion to approve
Amendment No. 1 to the Triparty Interlocal Agreement between the City, the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of
Commerce for the Release of Right of Reverter Encumbering Real Property relative to
the Old Library Site and Chamber of Commerce relocation.
The City Attorney stated the agreement to Amendment No. 1 requires the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to pay the sum of $2.27 million for property
which was previously sold by the City to the CRA. The CRA has been paying this
purchase price by making annual installments for this purchase. The City Attorney
stated Amendment No. 1 modifies a payment schedule by providing an extra $1 million
in fiscal year 2015 and this will shorten the repayment period from ten years to six years
and will save the CRA approximately $200,000.00 of interest. The City Attorney stated
there are no substantive changes to this amendment other than amending the payment
schedule. In 2008, the City Attorney stated the City agreed to convey this property to
the CRA as a site for the future development of a hotel facility and the agreement
contained a reverter clause which provided that if the CRA failed to convey the property
to the developer as required by the terms of the Contract for Purchase and Sale, the City
had a Right of Reverter to get the property back. The City Attorney stated this property
never closed and in 2012 three parties entered into an agreement where the City waived
its contractual right to the reverter. The City Attorney stated one year ago the City
adopted a resolution approving the conveyance of some additional small strips of land
on the perimeter of the site which was thought to be dedicated right-of-way; however,
when they obtained a title commitment it turned out that it was not dedicated right-of-
way but it was owned by the City. The City Attorney made reference to his
memorandum that captures a lot of the questions that were asked with respect to the
underlining agreements.
Brief discussion between Mr. Katz and Mayor Glickstein ensued.
After brief discussion, the City Attorney suggested that the Commission
approve the agreement as amended and direct the City Attorney to revise the agreement
to limit the scope of the amendment to revising the payment schedule only.
Mr. Katz stated he would like to reconsider a new motion next week to
approve a new payment plan for this with no conditions.
22
07/07/15
The City Attorney stated he will do a revised form of an amendment and
it will be limited in scope to only address the repayment schedule with no reference to
the reverter.
Mr. Katz moved to table to the July 14, 2015, City Commission regular
meeting, seconded by Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet — Yes; Mr. Katz

10. FIRST READINGS:
A. None
11. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS.
11.A. City Manager
The City Manager stated he has been asked by the Commission to provide
an update for senior staff hiring. The City Manager stated he has made an offer verbally
and it has been accepted verbally for Chief Information Technology Officer Director of
IT and the City is in the process of finalizing a contract. Secondly, the City Manager
stated he met with Slavin and Associates for the recruitment and hiring of the Assistant
City Manager (ACM) and he fully expects that to be completed by the end of August
2015. Lastly, the City Manager stated he will be interviewing the Human Resources
Director candidates this week and next week and hopes to make that decision by the end
of the month.
11.B. City Attorney
The City Attorney stated he will be on vacation beginning Thursday, July
9, 2015 for approximately twelve (12) days, therefore Assistant City Attorney Michael
Dutko will be present at the July 14, 2015 City Commission meeting.
11.C. City Commission
11.C.1. Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet
Deputy Vice Mayor Jacquet stated the end of July he will be in Haiti and
he is hoping to be back for the August 11, 2015 City Commission meeting.
11.C.2. Commissioner Katz
Commissioner Katz complimented the DBMC and the Parks and
Recreation Department for the 4th of July activities downtown and stated itwas very well
done. In addition, Commissioner Katz gave kudos to the Police Department and Fire -
Rescue Department for the crowd control.
Secondly, with regard to the mature trees, Commissioner Katz stated he
would like to consider making sure staff is potentially utilizing volunteers within the
26
07/07/15
community to help alleviate some of that pressure. He stated there are citizens that might
step up if staff cannot handle that.
Commissioner Katz asked the City Manager to see if the City's Marina is
fit for live-aboards.
Lastly, Commissioner Katz stated he will be attending the Florida League
of Cities Conference August 13-15, 2015. Mr. Jacquet stated he plans to attend this
conference as well.
11.C.3. Mayor Glickstein
Mayor Glickstein commented about whether the City's Landscape Planner
is a certified Arborist. Mayor Glickstein stated tree preservation is not something new
and there are a lot of ways that the City can prohibit that and more importantly
incentivize the transplantation of these trees because the problem seems to be in urban
areas where there are canopy trees that are in service parking lots that cannot survive, or
are not compatible with the setbacks that we have. He stated the City has beautiful live
oaks scattered around the downtown and those are things that we should be looking at to
save. However, Mayor Glickstein stated live oaks are probably the most problematic tree
to transplant and move. Mayor Glickstein suggested that staff look at an ordinance that
prohibits the clear cutting of trees.
Secondly, Mayor Glickstein stated as in drove in tonight on Atlantic
Avenue on N.E. 2nd Avenue he looked to his right and left and saw a clear sidewalk next
to The Office and the restaurants on the south side. He stated it was a noticeable
difference because there was not double stacking of tables. Mayor Glickstein
complimented Mr. Coleman and the Community Improvement staff for doing a great job
with in getting compliance on Atlantic Avenue.
Mayor Glickstein stated he was hoping that the beach area would get their
update to their design manual to staff and asked that Mr. Stillings look into this. Mayor
Glickstein stated there has been some things in the beach area either through the
aggregation of an adjacent lot or the placement of the front entry door in a different
location where people that live on the end of the street are changing the view plane of the
street by now changing what was a front setback of thirty (30) feet to a side setback of
seventeen (17) feet. For example, Mayor Glickstein stated at the east end of Seaspray
Avenue there is an example of where they have aggregated property. He stated there is a
parallel line of setbacks; everybody is on the same front setback, but then someone at the
end of the street (because they have acquired more land) where they have moved the
front entry door are now treating what was the front as their side; you have now taken
away fifteen (15) feet of view down the street for everybody that is the other direction of
that. Therefore, Mayor Glickstein stated he would like to see something that would
eliminate that from occurring. He stated it creates a hardship for everybody on the street
by somebody recasting that front entry through various means.

With respect to the mid -year budget, Mayor Glickstein stated staffing and
retention continues to be an issue to the City's salary structure and there have been some
improvements since the Ocean Rescue has come under the Fire -Rescue Department.
However, Mayor Glickstein stated he would like an update on this from staff.
Mayor Glickstein stated the developer's availed themselves of
improvements that were going in along Federal Highway and they did something while
the roadwork was being done so that they would not have to come back and rip up the
road. He stated the section of sidewalk between northbound Federal Highway and 7th is
an obstacle course. Mayor Glickstein stated this is ultimately the property owner's
responsibility and you cannot walk there safely. Furthermore, Mayor Glickstein stated
that the temporary fence should be anchored so that it is completely out of the sidewalk
or they need to get rid of the fence.
Lastly, Mayor Glickstein complimented the DBMC, the Police
Department, and the Fire -Rescue Department and stated he has heard nothing but
glowing reviews regarding the 4th of July Celebration.
There being no further business, Mayor Glickstein declared the meeting
adjourned at 8:59 p.m.
