School District Review of New Residential Development Proposals
The SCHOOL DISTRICT agrees to review and make school concurrency
determinations, for a proposed residential development for which an application for a
development order is submitted. The review and determination are a four-part process
which: a) accepts, the residential development application; b) calculates the development's
projected students; c) compares the development's students to projected students within
the Five Year Capital Facilities Plan for Level of Service; and c) issues determination
letter. The complete Development Review Process shall:
1. Intake Application - Requirements for Proposed Residential
Development:
a) The request for a school concurrency determination for a proposed
residential development shall be submitted by either the applicant or the local
government, whichever is specified in the local government's concurrency ordinance.
b) The applicant of the proposed development shall provide the
following: location, the build out time frame, and the number, type and size of all the
residential units anticipated to be occupied each calendar year.
c) The DISTRICT agrees to log in by date and time stamp every
completed application and agrees that each application shall be processed in the order
they are received.
d) The SCHOOL DISTRICT agrees that it shall review every
application and issue its determination to the applicant within fi~ccn (15) working days
of receipt of the application.
e) The SCHOOL DISTRICT may charge the applicant a
non-refundable application fcc payable to the DISTRICT to meet the cost of review.
Calculate Students - Conversion of Proposed Residential U~its'to
Students:
To determine the proposed development's projected students, the proposed
development's projected number and type of residential units for each year shall be
conv~ into projected students for all schools of each type within the specific CSA
using the Student Generation Multiplier as shown in Appendix B of the Public School
Facilities Element, as amended.
3. Determine Utilization - Analysis of Enrollment to Capacity for Five Years
The SCHOOL DISTRICT will use the Development Review Table (DRT) (shown below) to
compare the projected students from proposed residential developments to the CSA's planned
growth, enrollment, capacity and utilization (LOS) over the five year period. The Development
Review Table produces a calculation for the Level of Service for each school type in each CSA.
The figures in the Development Review Table are explained below.
Figures (1), (2) and (3) are numbers obtained from the Concurrency Service Area Tables (CSA)
as shown in A.v..l;t~,~ld_i,~ of the Public School Facilities Element, as amerided. The figures show
the CSA's projected 1) enrollment, 2) capacity and 3) utilization LOS.
Figure (4) is the projected number of new residential units in each CSA obtained from the
annual disaggregafion of residential units county-wide, based on historic absorption rates. This is
established from the Palm Beach County Projected Units Table, as shown in Appendix C of the
Public School Facilities Element, as mended.
Figure (5) is the number of students expected from projected new units (rigA) multiplied by the
student generation multiplier based upon a three bedroom, two-bath house. The multiplier used
is found in the Student Generation Multiplier Table of~ of the Public School
Facilities Element.
Figure (6) is a list of the new residential development in the order that each application is
received.
Figure (7) is a list of the ntunber of annual units expected from each residential development.
Fignre (8) is the l/st of projected students fi-om new residential development, calculated by type
of unit and by school level found in Student Gtner~n Multiplier Table of ~ of the
Public School Fadlitie~ FAement.
Figure (9) is thc total number of students per school type from the proposed reddential
developments.
Figure (10) is the the number of students which is the difference between the total students from
new developments (fig.9) subtracted from the expected pwjected students from new units (fig.5).
If the number is positive, the lcvel of service (fig.3) does not change.
Figure (11) is the revised suatmt mrol!ment by sdmol type determlnnl by the difference in
(riga 0) if it is a negative numba'; that amber of stude~ shall be added to the pwjeeted student
enrollment (fig. 1).

4. Adjacent CSA Capacity
(a) If the projected student growth from the residential development
causes the adopted LOS to be exceeded in the particular CSA and that type of school and
capacity exists in one or more contiguous CSA's, the SCHOOL DISTRICT shall first use the
adjacent CSA with thc most available capacity to evaluate projected enrollment.
(b) Ifa proposed new development in a CSA which has been used to
provide capacity for a development in an adjacent CSA causes the LOS to be exceeded, the
development in the CSA which used the adjacent CSA with most capacity will be re-evaluated
by using the next adjacent CSA with the second highest capacity. If there is capacity in the next
adjacent CSA with the second highest capacity, projected enrollment will be moved from the
adjacent CSA with the highest capacity to the next adjacent CSA with the second highest
capacity.
(c)
Example of Adjacent CSA Use
18 [ 17
Most Capacity 19
No Capacity 20
2nd Most Capacity 21
(1) The development in CSA 20 was evaluated using the adjacent
CSA with the most capacity for high school students (CSA 19).
(2) Later, a new development proposal in CSA 19 is submitted
for evaluation and there is not enough high school capacity in CSA 19, or adjacent CSA's
17 and 18.
0) The previously approved development in CSA 20 will be re-
evaluated based on capacity in CSA 21. If thc capacity exists in adjacent CSA 21 (2nd
highest capacity), the projected enrollment from the previous development in CSA 20 will
be moved from CSA 19 and added to CSA 21'.
(4) The development in CSA 19 will be re-evaluated based on the
new data for that CSA.
5. Issue Concurrency Certificate
If the impacts of the proposed O.e_velopment's student growth does not cause the adopted
Level of Service (or Tiered LOS) to be exceeded, the development shall be determined to
be in compliance and a concurrency certificate shall be issued.

Hello my name is Jason Rust of Carver Community Middl'e-'-
school. If you would please look over the following papers you will -'-':-.
learn about an exciting project my seventh grade class is heading.
We are naming our solar system. My teacher Rick Angelini has
assigned me to contact you and ask you for your recognition,
participation, and support in our quest to name our solar system.
In the following papers you will find an argument for naming our
solar system, an article from the Sun Sentinel which we were
featured in, and also an application for the name our solar system
contest, we ask that you please give us your opinion of a name
you think would best fit. My class and I are very excited about the
contest and we hope you are too.
Thankyou for your time,
Jason Rust

An Argument For Naming Our Solar System
By
Richard P. Angelini, Sr.
February 1, 2000
Purpose
Four hundred years ago the Italian philosopher Geordano Bruno looked up at the night
sky, and wondered if the stars were really other suns with planets going around them. He
was burned at the stake for suggesting, (Walbot, 1997), such a radical idea. Today I
would ask you to contemplate the fact that there are other solar systems in the heavens.
Planetary or Solar System?
The argument has been made, (Patrick, 2000), to call our system The Solar System and to
refer to all other systems as planetary systems. At first examination, this proposal fulfills
the requirement to name our system. However, a review of the definitions of planetary
and solar systems is in order.
In 1911 Ernest Rutherford proposed, the nuclear model, (Stuewer, 1997), for the atom.
With many improvements, this is the model accepted today. It holds that electrons
revolve, or orbit, around a center nucleus with a mass many thousands times greater than
that of an electron. He based his theory partly on the observation of our solar system,
reasoning that it would take a relatively huge mass to keep satellites in orbit, whether
they are electrons or planets. Science has long held that a planetary system is a system
with satellites orbiting or revolving around a center mass with enough gravity to hold the
satellites in orbit.
The concept ora solar system meets these requirements and therefore can be classified as
a planetary system. However, a planetary system,
(http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/billedtnp/other.html), and a solar system are not synonymous
terms. ^ solar system is one member ora larger class of systems; that of planetary
systems. Recent observation suggest that some planetary systerris may have black holes
at their center. Such is the proposal for our galaxy, the Milky Way. One has been
detected, (Black Hole, 1999), at the center of galaxy NGC 3516. It seems reasonable to
assume that science will discover extremely massive objects at the center of all planetary
systems. It is apparent that planetary systems and solar systems are not synonymous
terms.
How Solar Systems Are Named
In the last few years scientists discovered planets revolving around other stars in our
galaxy. At this writing, Microsoft Encarta 2000 lists twenty-two known solar systems,
(http://encarta. msn.com/find/search.asp?z= 1 &pg=l &search=solar+systems), other than
our own. With each discovery those solar systems have been named after the star they
...... revolve-around. The discovered systems revolve around a star that has already been
named or numbered, so it is therefore logical to name the solar system after the star. An
excellent example of this procedure is Upsilon Andromeda, (Westrup, 1999), a star in the
Andromedea constellation that has at least three giant gaseous planets in orbit. The sun
is known as Upsilon Andromeda and the solar system is now known as the Upsilon
Andromeda system.
This argument w/Il not hold with our home system, however. Our sun is commonly
referred to as Sol. This name could easily generate the system name Solar, if that term
did not already describe a model of, or, type of planetary system; one with a sun at/ts'
center.
The Argument
The term solar system no longer refers to only one place in the universe. We humans
now share one 'known solar system of many. In the future we will be discussing,
investigating, and perhaps visiting planets in systems other than our home system. The
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, (NASA), is beginning the Keplar
project, (http://keplar. arc. nasa. gov/index, html), in a few years to detect and study other
system's planets.
We need to accurately differentiate between the solar system we live in and all others.
We already identified the need to differentiate between the other 22 known solar
systems; we have named them. Soon we will be comparing each system to others,
including our system. Will we continue to call our system The Solar System?
Do we humans have only one city on our planet, or do we have many? The need to
differentiate between cities arises because there are many. The argument can be raised
that we need an individual name for each city on our planet because we communicate
and visit different cities. Ifa friend asked you to meet them in The City, you would need
to ask for clarification; there are many cities on our planet. The argument can also be
raised that we have and use names for cities we 'l'lmow exist, but, have never
communicated with or visited. Even if we have no contact with several cities we need to
name them; if for no other reason than to be able to state with clarity to ail with which
cities we have no communication.
The logic should hold true for any class of location, including solar systems. If not, do
we need a name for our home planet, Earth? If this argument does not hold up to
examination, then we should call our home planet: The Planet.
Has Our Solar System Already Been Named?
The scientific term solar system is synonymous, (Encart.a 2000), with heliocentric
system, or Copernican system; all meaning any sun, (star), centered system. Solar system
no longer can identify a specific place in the universe. Rather, the term describes the
similar character of many places in the universe.
Conclusion
Our solar system has not been named. We are one of many solar systems in the universe.
A solar system is only one kind ora planetary system. For purposes of clarity of thought
and communication we need to name our solar system
Author's Note
The naming of our solar system is the right of all humanity. It was not discovered, as so
many astronomical objects are. It has been around us since the beginning. It is for this
reason the author chose not to cite professional publications, but, rather publications
easily acquired by the general population of our planet. All humanity must be
represented in the nmning process.

We have obtained a copy of an MAI appraisal done in 1996. At that time, the facilities
we are considering purchasing were appraised for $1.3 million dollars. We are having
the appraisal updated.
Our Building Maintenance staff and Building Official had previously inspected the
clubhouse building. However, since there has been considerable concern expressed about
its condition, we have had the building inspected by a Structural Engineer. We expect to
have the result of this inspection to present at the Workshop.

Projected Operating Budgets for Recreational Facilities at International
Tennis Resort
Attached are separate budget projections for the recreational facilities and tennis facilities
at International Tennis Resort. The projected budget for the recreational facilities is a
maximum budget. First, as is stated in the first paragraph of the narrative it was assumed
there would be night-time tennis at the facility. At this point we have no plans for time-
night tennis at International Tennis Resort. Our night-time play will all continue to take
place at our tennis facility on Atlantic Avenue. Second, the proposed operating hours for
the recreation facilities are greater than we currently have at any of our other facilities at
Veterans Park, Community Center, and Pompey Park.
The budget for the tennis facilities at International Tennis Resort is our best estimate
based on our experience at our facility on Atlantic Avenue, combined with the knowledge
of former staff members at International Tennis Resort who now work for us.

THE EFFORT ALWAYS MATTERS
Laver's Recreational Facility - Program and Budget Narrative
The Laver's Recreational Facility would be a full-service adult facility offering
informal/drop-in leisure time opportunities as well as structured recreational activities.
It would be open 7 days a week from 8AM to 10PM to allow for night-time tennis
as well as miscellaneous other recreational activities. These would include such
activities as various types of dancing; i.e., square-dancing, ballroom dancing,
aerobics, oil painting, yoga, bridge, etc. It would also allow rentals for family gatherings,
weddings, birthday parties, civic club meetings etc.
Renovations and remodeling of the clubhouse will need to consider folding room
partitions to allow for several activities to function at the same time with minimal
conflict and disturbance. These renovations should also consider heating
the pool to allow for year-round pool activities. The pool hours would be from
10AM to 6PM during fall and winter, essentially during EST months; and 10AM
to 8PM during DST months. Pool activities would include instructional programs,
aqua-robics, lap swimming, as well as open recreational swimming. Children
accompanied by adult family members could be allowed at the pool. Pool member-
ships could also be considered but implementation and controls may be difficult.
The estimated operating budget outlined below is based on some of the basic
costs at the Adult Center with some increased "guesstimates" made because the Laver's
facility is larger. Also some costs are based on last year's budget manual and may
need to be adjusted accordingly. Full-time and part-time salaries, however, are based
on the current pay plan. Extensive landscape maintenance needs will also impact the
Parks Maintenance Division. These costs do not reflect any tennis operational costs,
although some do overlap and should be shared.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS RESORT
Our Business Plan is to coordinate tennis programs with the Parks and Recreation
operation of the clubhouse and pool.
We will operate the Delray Beach Tennis Center and ITR under one membership
plan, as one business with two locations.
We will attempt to keep all after school programs, junior programs at the Delray
Beach Tennis Center.
The purchase of ITR will allow us to actively market the City of Delray Beach to
the Tennis traveler. We will work closely with local hotels, real estate agents,
restaurants, car rental agencies to coordinate tennis packages and golf and tennis
packages.
ITR will actively pursue USTA tournaments at no cost to the City of Delray
Beach.
We will host summer camps, holiday programs and attempt to make the City of
Delray Beach internationally recognized as a Tennis destination.

Subject:
Acquisition of International Tennis Resorts
Below are some further thoughts on acquiring the recreational facilities at International Tennis
Resorts. Also, in my opinion the tennis courts and other recreation facilities can be looked at
separately. We could, if we wished, demolish the Club House and/or swimming pool and only
operate the tennis facilities. This would leave the Club House and pool land available for other
purposes to be determined later.
PRO CON
Demand is growing for public tennis facilities
in Delray. Expansion of the current downtown
facility is very costly and may encounter
neighborhood opposition. (Land acquisition
alone for the two new courts added this year
cost $239,000.)
This is a unique opportunity to acquire 14
additional tennis courts and the use of 10 more
at a relatively low cost. It would give us all the
tennis courts we should ever need.
Having additional City tennis courts would
make it easier to close the tennis courts at our
Atlantic Avenue center for special events such
as tournaments and stadium events, allowing
more frequent use of the stadium.
The City currently has no recreation center
located south of Atlantic Avenue.
Both public swimming pools in the City
currently are located north of Atlantic Avenue.
There is very little land available anywhere in
the City for additional recreational facilities,
and acquisition would be costly. (Land
acquisition for Orchard View Park cost over
$100,000 per acre.)
The overwhelming majority of surrounding
property owners supports City acquisition. In
the past, these owners have opposed City
acquisition of any of the recreational facilities
at Layer's.
The additional tennis facilities would have a
projected net annual operating cost to the City
of $65,000.
Many residents believe that other needs of the
City should be taken care of before we spend
more on tennis.
If the Club House and pool are operated as a
City recreation center, the expected cost would
be about $200,000 annually.
The Club House and pool have a great deal of
deferred maintenance. Staff estimates it would
cost $250,000 - 350,000 to restore the building
and make it handicapped accessible.
Many residents believe that other capital needs
of the City are more important.
