AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY
ZONED A (AGRICULTURAL) DISTRICT TO R-1-
AAA (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL); SAID
LAND BEING A PARCEL LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF OLD GERMANTOWN
ROAD AND RABBIT HOLLOWE DRIVE, AS MORE
PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN;
AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, MARCH 2006"; PROVIDING A
GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING
CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 26-06 is on file in the City Clerk’s
office.)
- 11 -
05/16/06
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A quasi-judicial and
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.
Mayor Perlman read into the record the City of Delray Beach procedures
for a Quasi-Judicial Hearing for this item and all subsequent items.
Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Mayor Perlman asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications. Mr. Levinson and Mrs. Montague had no ex parte communications to
disclose. Mayor Perlman stated he had a brief conversation with Collen Shuman who
lives nearby. Mrs. Ellis and Mr. Fetzer had no ex parte communications to disclose.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and
Zoning Department project file #2006-184 into the record.
Mr. Dorling stated this is a rezoning of a 2.48 acre site which currently has
an Agricultural Zoning designation and contains two one-story structures and the
applicant desires to subdivide the property into four lots and develop single family homes
under the R-1-AAA district requirements.
At its meeting of April 17, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing in conjunction with this rezoning request. Five residents from the Rabbit
Hollowe and Verona Woods subdivisions had questions concerning environmental issues
regarding potential contamination of the soil and water table by historic nursery uses,
future rezoning requests that may seek to increase density, and access concerns from Old
Germantown Road. Their primary concern of residents was the future access from Old
Germantown Road and they were concerned that this future subdivision would utilize that
road. After deliberating, the Planning and Zoning Board found that the required findings
with respect to Section 3.2.2, 3.1.1 and 2.4.5(D)(5) of the LDR’s are met and staff
recommends approval of the request.
Jason Mankoff, Weiner & Aronson, P.A., 102 N. Swinton Avenue,
Delray Beach,
stated they adopt the findings in the staff report which confirm that they
have met the required findings of Section 3.1.1 and 3.2.2. They are requesting a rezoning
to the most restrictive residential zoning and the proper development pattern would be to
ensure that this property is zoned R-1-AAA as well and incorporate the findings in the
staff report concerning LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5). As the staff report indicates, the land
use designation, development standards matrix, and the comprehensive plan and the
intent of the agricultural zoning district both clearly state that the agricultural designation
is often used as a holding zone. Good urban planning dictates that the zoning on this
property should be consistent with the prevailing land use patterns in the area of the
surrounding R-1-AAA and that the agricultural holding zone should be eliminated. Mr.
- 12 -
05/16/06
Mankoff stated the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval as does the
Planning and Zoning staff. For these reasons, he urged the Commission to support this
rezoning.
Mayor Perlman stated if anyone would like to speak in favor or in
opposition of Ordinance No. 26-06, to please come forward at this time.
Mr. Fetzer moved to adopt Ordinance No. 26-06 on Second and FINAL
Reading, seconded by Mrs. Ellis. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs.
Montague – Yes; Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr.
Levinson – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
10.B.ORDINANCE NO. 28-06:
Privately initiated amendment to Land
Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.3.3, “Special Requirements for Specific
Uses” and Section 4.3.4(H)(4), “Structures Allowed in Setbacks”, to allow permanently
installed generators within required setbacks and providing specific regulations for the
location, operation, and buffering of permanent generators. Prior to consideration of
passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been
scheduled to be held at this time.
The caption of Ordinance No. 28-06 is as follows:
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 SECTION
4.3.3, “SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIFIC
USES”, BY ENACTING A NEW SUBSECTION

REGULATION OF PERMANENTLY INSTALLED
GENERATORS; AND BY AMENDING SECTION
4.3.4(H)(4), “STRUCTURES ALLOWED IN

INSTALLED GENERATORS; PROVIDING A
SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER
CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

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.
- 13 -
05/16/06
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this is a privately
initiated amendment and noted that the LDR’s currently do not specifically identify
generators as items that are allowed in required setbacks. Staff has been considering
them a kin to air conditioners and applying a three foot maximum similar to other
structures that are allowed within the required setbacks. It is noted that the newer
generator models are up to 4.5 feet high, partially due to increased sound attenuation
improvements, and as such are in conflict with this previous provision. On March 2,
2006, the Planning and Zoning Department received a privately initiated text amendment
from Personalized Air Conditioning & Electrical, Inc. to clarify the requirements and
allow these larger generators (up to 4.5 feet) within the required setbacks. During
review, additional modifications suggested by staff and agreed to by the applicant have
been added which delineate specific requirements that address the location, operation,
and buffering of permanent generators.
At its meeting of April 17, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing regarding this item and there was no public testimony regarding the
proposed amendment. After discussing the amendment, the Board voted 7-0 to
recommend approval of the proposed amendment.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open. There being no one
from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 28-06,
the public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Ellis moved to adopt Ordinance No. 28-06 on Second and FINAL
Reading, seconded by Mrs. Montague. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr. Levinson – Yes; Mrs.
Montague – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
10.C.ORDINANCE NO. 29-06:
City initiated amendment to Land
Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.3.4(K), “Development Standards Matrix”, to
clarify setbacks for structures in residential districts. Prior to consideration of passage of
this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been scheduled to be
held at this time.
The caption of Ordinance No. 29-06 is as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES, BY AMENDING SECTION 4.3.4,
“BASE DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS”, SUBSECTION 4.3.4(K),
“DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS MATRIX”, TO
CLARIFY THE SETBACK FOR THE THIRD

STORY OF A THREE STORY BUILDING IN
RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS;
PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL
REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 29-06 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.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this ordinance is to
clarify setbacks that currently exist in the code. The increased 3-story multi-family
structures in the RM (Multiple Family Residential – Medium Density) and PRD (Planned
Residential Development) zoning districts is to mitigate the visual impact of the
additional building mass on surrounding properties. As currently written, there is some
confusion as to whether the increased setbacks apply to the entire structure or to the third
story component only. A building that is only one or two stories in front and 3 stories in
the rear does not have the same impact at the front property line as one which is entirely 3
stories high. The proposed amendment is to clarify this difference and apply the
increased setback for 3-story buildings only to those portions of the building which are
actually 3 stories in height.
At its meeting of April 17, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board
considered this request. After the presentation from the Planning staff, the Board voted 7
to 0 to recommend approval of the amendment.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open. There being no one
from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 29-06,
the public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Montague moved to adopt Ordinance No. 29-06 on Second and
FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Ellis. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr. Levinson – Yes; Mrs. Montague – Yes;
Mayor Perlman – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
10.D.RESOLUTION NO. 23-06 (RELEASE OF RESERVATION IN
PROPERTY):
Consider approval of the release of reservation on property (225 sq. ft.),
located near the corner of A-1-A and Atlantic Avenue; and approve Resolution No. 23-06
and associated Quit Claim Deed. Prior to consideration of passage of this resolution, a
public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.

recommends approval of Resolution No. 23-06.
Mrs. Ellis moved to approve Resolution No. 23-06, seconded by Mr.

Item
At this point, the time being 7:10 p.m., the Commission moved to
11, Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the City Manager and the
Public.
11.A.City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries.
With regard to a previous concern expressed by Mrs. Finst about the
number of demolitions around town leaving vacant properties and suggested that the City
require a site plan before demolition occurs, the City Manager stated it is the City’s
experience that we much rather be dealing with vacant land than vacant buildings. The
Police report for this month talks about property on North Federal Highway that had been
acquired by someone for redevelopment and the buildings had not been demolished and
there are problems with vagrancy, prostitution, and drug use in those buildings. The City
Manager stated the Police Department has had to take extraordinary steps to secure the
buildings.
With regard to a previous concern expressed by Mr. Fields about people
crossing at the A-1-A crosswalks, the City Manager stated the crosswalks will be
reworked as part of the work to be done on A-1-A and will start later this year or early
next year. The City Manager stated there is still some debate about exactly what form the
crosswalks are going to take; however, they will be improved. Also, with regard to a
concern expressed about people walking across Atlantic Avenue in front of the Blue
Anchor Pub, the City Manager stated pedestrians have two choices; they can either go to
- 16 -
05/16/06
th
the light at 7 Avenue or take the passageway underneath the bridge without having to
cross the street. The City Manager stated there are ample opportunities for safely
crossing the street.
11.B.From the Public.
11.B.1.John Bennett, 137 Seabreeze Avenue, Delray Beach,
distributed the
traditional flyer for the American Legion Annual Memorial Day ceremonies and invited
everyone to attend. The ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. and at 12:00 noon there is a
spaghetti dinner at the Post home. He also noted that the VFW is having their ceremony
at 11:00 a.m. at Veteran’s Park. Mr. Bennett stated Memorial Day is to honor those who
gave their lives for our nation and he read into the record Delray’s fallen. He stated these
individuals were all originally from Delray Beach who left to fight in the country’s wars
and fell (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes).
Item
At this point, the time being 7:14 p.m., the Commission moved to
9.A. of the Regular Agenda.
9.REGULAR AGENDA:
9.A.APPEAL OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD’S
TH
DECISION ASSOCIATED WITH 112 N.E. 7 STREET:
Consider an appeal of the
Historic Preservation Board’s decision granting a certificate of appropriateness for new
th
(Quasi-
construction at 112 N.E. 7 Street, located in the Del-Ida Park Historic District.
Judicial Hearing)
Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Mayor Perlman asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications.
The City Attorney stated she received a letter from Michael Weiner
contesting whether the appeal is appropriate in that they alleged the Planning and Zoning
Department made the appeal. However, it was actually the City Commission who voted
to appeal it and it was the Planning and Zoning Department that made a recommendation
to the City Commission. Therefore, the City Attorney stated staff believes this is not an
appropriate basis to discontinue the appeal. Secondly, the City Attorney stated Mr.
Weiner objected to Ms. Landry having party status. The rules say that if someone is
within 500 feet of the area that you have grieve party status as a matter of right. This
appellant would have standing different than those of a City-at-large because she lives in
the historic district and has certain expectations of her neighborhood and others who do
not live there may not. Therefore, the City Attorney stated it would be appropriate for
Ms. Landry to be a party and the neighbors who joined in her appeal as well. There is
also a claim that Mr. Weiner’s due process rights and his clients are affected adversely
- 17 -
05/16/06
and they are requesting 40 minutes to speak.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and
Zoning Department project file #2005-382 into the record.
Mr. Dorling stated on April 19, 2006, the Historic Preservation Board
(HPB) held its meeting and considered a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for the
construction of a new home (4,278 square feet) totaling 3,395 under air of a two-story
th
single family residence located at 212 N.E. 7 Street and was approved by HPB with
conditions. He stated this was the third time that this application came before the Board;
the first one had received a recommendation of continuation by staff with direction to
reduce the scale and mass of the structure and the last two requests had received a staff
recommendation of denial. The summary of those three submissions were that the first
submission was a 4,050 square foot building under air; the next submission was a 4,111
square foot building under air; and then the one that was approved was 3,395 square feet.
The total building square footage was 5,280 for the first one; 5,010 for the second and
4,278 for the one that was approved. Mr. Dorling stated one of the issues that were raised
was related to the width and the mass of the second story along the street face which was
reduced from 40 feet to 38 feet. He stated there were some incremental but some very
minute changes made in some of those criteria and staff did not feel that the applicant had
gone far enough to warrant a recommendation of approval. The Lad’s identify the
requirements that need to be made per Section 4.5.1(E)(4) & 4.5.1(E)(8)(a-k). The LDR
sections also require consistency with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation and those findings staff was unable to make as well. He stated the
emphasis is on compatibility and staff felt that this structure did not meet the massing,
size, and scale of the historic district. Mr. Dorling stated there are also seven (7) Delray
Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines which talks about compatibility
comparing the massing to ones that enhance the historic setting in a historic district and
staff could not make positive findings with those. Staff recommended denial with
direction that the second story mass be further reduced and that the structure be
predominantly one-story in design to maintain the historic character. The Board
deliberated and recommended approval subject to conditions.
th
Warren Adams, 1020 N.W. 8 Street, Boynton Beach (expert witness)
read his credentials into the record and entered his résumé into the record. He stated
HPB’s approval is inconsistent with the LDR’s, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation
Design Guidelines, the Secretary of Interior’s Standards, and inconsistent with its own
Board’s direction of March 15, 2006. He made reference to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(7)
which states that “the construction of new buildings or structures shall meet the same
compatibility standards as any material change in the exterior appearance of an existing
non-contributing building.”
Mr. Adams stated it is important to note that since the replat of the six lots
to four lots which was reviewed at the Historic Preservation Board meeting on June 15,
2005, it has been consistently stated to the developer that the four homes will be required
- 18 -
05/16/06
to meet strict historic preservation design guidelines to ensure compatibility with respect
to design, massing, and relation to the surrounding area. He stated the ruling by HPB is
inconsistent with LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(7) & 4.5.1(D)(8) and is inconsistent with the
Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, the Secretary of Interior’s
Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Historic Preservation Board’s own direction of
March 15, 2006. Staff urged the Commission to approve the appeal and overturn HPB’s
decision.
At this point, the following appellants came forward:
th
Robert Mannweiler, 109 N.E. 7 Street, Delray Beach (appellant who
is appealing with Livia Landry, Lois Brezinski and Hayden Burrus),
agrees with
comments expressed by Mr. Adams and stated the home is approximately 1,000 square
feet larger than the largest home in the entire district. Mr. Mannweiler stated he wants to
help preserve what historic Delray Beach is all about and does not want to see this go
away.
Hayden Burrus, 10 N.E. 6th Street, Delray Beach,
stated it has been
statistically proven that this is a very large house and noted this is not just about one
house. Mr. Burrus stated the neighborhood has several homes up for sale (i.e. vacant
lots) and he feels people need to send a message to the Historic Preservation Board as
well as people who are potentially interested in developing these properties. He stated
th
this is about the vacant lot on the corner of 6 and Swinton Avenue that is currently for
sale and expressed concern that if this is approved there may potentially be another 4,000
square foot home proposed there. He urged the Commission to preserve the smaller
homes in the historic district and preserve Delray’s history.
th
Lois Brezinski, 110 N.E. 7 Street, Delray Beach (lives next to the
proposed development)
feels that this is an opportunity for Delray Beach to show
leadership not only in Palm Beach County but perhaps the state since many communities
are dealing with this issue. Ms. Brezinski stated this is a matter of principle and when
she bought in a historic district she wanted to live in a historic district and have the
homes in the historic district all reflect the same character. She thanked the Commission
for taking the initiative so far and hopes they will continue to take the initiative.
Michael Weiner, 102 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach
(representing the applicant),
gave a brief history of the project and distributed booklets
to the Commission for the record.
Eugene A. Nowak, expert witness,
included his resume in the handout
provided by Mr. Weiner and gave a brief statement. Mr. Nowak stated it is a very
subjective design criteria and it should be more specific.
Mr. Weiner briefly reviewed the elevations (tab #7 of the booklet). He
urged the City Commission to deny the appeal and support the HPB’s decision.
- 19 -
05/16/06
Mayor Perlman stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in
favor or in opposition of the appeal, to please come forward at this time.
Shannon Dawson, 527 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
speaking
as an applicant going through the process with her family stated the issue is not really the
actions of the Historic Preservation Board but rather staff’s inability to adhere to current
guidelines and the LDR’s since the moratorium was put into affect. She stated basically
every application is getting thrown out and forced under the moratorium and applicants
have to wait for the new guidelines. Ms. Dawson urged the Commission to treat
everyone fairly.
Julia Taylor, 225 Royal Court, Delray Beach (owns 7 properties in
Delray Beach),
stated she likes the project and is very saddened to see the moratorium.
She stated things are getting very difficult in the historic district and noted her uncle
th
owns the property on the corner of N.E. 6 Street and Swinton Avenue. Ms. Taylor
stated she was blessed by being allowed to build a home and a garage in the historic
district. She feels there are many issues to consider as to why a garage is beneficial and
urged the Commission to be fair and feels the moratorium is hurting everyone.
Scott Correale, 527 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
stated he
has gone through this process in the last 7 months and feels there are inconsistencies
occurring within the Planning and Zoning Department (i.e. the processes as well as the
availability of information). He stated he along with others received guidance to move
forward with what they presented and made adjustments as advised to do so and were
still denied. Mr. Correale stated the only thing that is consistent is the inconsistencies
going through the City right now and he urged the Commission to vote in favor of this
house and other houses being built.
Carolyn Patton, 1020 Tamarind Road, Delray Beach (property owner
in the Marina Historic District),
supports the moratorium and stated tonight has nothing
to do with the moratorium because this issue went through before the moratorium.
Secondly, she stated tonight is not about 527 North Swinton; however, the subject
property is too massive for the historic district and she strongly supports the appeal. Ms.
Patton applauded the people who have attended the meeting this evening in support of
saving the historic district.
th
Jackie Brant, 10 N.W. 9 Street, Delray Beach,
sells properties in the
historic neighborhoods and part of what makes it wonderful is that the historic
neighborhoods have been protected. She stated she recently sold a home in the Marina
Historic District for a nice sum of money to a couple who is delighted to have a small
historic home and they are not looking to tear it down or build. Ms. Brant urged the
Commission to support the appeal.
Mark Fields, 414 Seasage Drive #5, Delray Beach,
supports the appeal;
however, he expressed concern for those who are presenting their proposals this evening
- 20 -
05/16/06
because he feels it is unfair to them. He stated the mandate of the HPB is to advise the
City Commission and if they have not made the right choices, this does not make their
decisions correct. Mr. Fields stated if there are ambiguities in the law then this needs to
be corrected. He feels the rules are clear in some areas but that the real issue is the
implementation of the rules.
David Rosenbom, 711 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
stated he
works in Delray Beach and will not be able to live in his property for a very long time.
He does not support the moratorium and does not feel it is the best thing for Delray
Beach. He stated over the last 7 years he has witnessed good changes and this is why he
wants to live here.
th
Hayden Burrus, 10 N.E. 6 Street, Delray Beach (party)
, asked Mr.
Weiner immediately prior to demolition and Mr. Spangler’s purchase of the property,
how many residences were on that group of properties. In response, Mr. Weiner stated
there was one residence on the six properties.
th
Andrew Spangler, 112 N.E. 7 Street, Delray Beach,
stepped forward
to the microphone to answer questions.
Livia Landry, 701 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
stated she
lives in a contributing home where she is restricted in what she can do. She asked what
will happen to the value of her home (being a contributing home that is limited to what
can take place on this piece of property) when eventually she is surrounded by large scale
homes.
th
Lois Brezinski, 110 N.E. 7 Street, Delray Beach,
asked Mr. Nowak
what experience he has had working in historic districts and what experience does he
have working with historic design guidelines, LDR’s, and specifically the Secretary of
the Interior’s Standards for working in historic districts. Ms. Brezinski stated Mr. Nowak
th
made the comment that 110 N.E. 7 Street is a two-story structure and she noted this is
her home and it is not a two-story structure. She asked Mr. Nowak if he has ever worked
in the City of Delray Beach and Mr. Nowak stated he has not.
Michael Weiner, 102 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
stated 711
North Swinton Avenue has an existing structure on it and asked if 711 North Swinton
Avenue was an addition to a structure. Mr. Adams stated the application was for the
addition to the structure.
Mr. Dorling gave a brief rebuttal:
Mr. Dorling stated this is not about the appellant’s home but is about
compatibility of this proposal with the district as a whole. He stated staff has provided
expert testimony which verifies that this is out of scale with respect to mass and scale of
the neighborhood and in absence of that finding he feels the Commission should uphold
- 21 -
05/16/06
this appeal. Mr. Dorling stated guidance was given to the developer to scale the project
down and commented that the second proposal was actually of a greater scale than the
first one. He stated the staff’s guidance was not followed and therefore a
recommendation of denial was put forth.
th
Warren Adams, 1020 N.W. 8 Street, Boynton Beach,
stated they are
not saying that they do not want garages in historic areas but are saying that double
garages attached to buildings are not consistent with the architectural character of the
Del-Ida Park Historic area. In addition, he stated staff does not have a problem with two
stories but they feel the second story should be reduced in area. Mr. Adams stated the
LDR’s are very specific and new construction must be compatible with historic
architecture. He stated the applicant has been before the Board several times because he
has not followed direction and was specifically instructed that the square footage of the
house should be compatible with the square footage of the other houses on that street not
in the historic area.
The following individual gave a brief rebuttal:
Michael Weiner, 102 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
(representing the applicant),
for the record clarified that he has a printout from the
th
Property Appraiser’s page for Mr. Mannweiler. The address is 109 N.E. 7 Street and
this two-story house (built in year 2000) covers 50% of the lot and was approved by the
Historic Preservation Board (HPB).
The City Manager stated the City’s records indicate that the property at
th
110 N.E. 7 Street is actually 9,000 square feet (not 6,000 square feet) and that floor area
th
ratio is 28%. In addition, he stated 109 N.E. 7 Street is a freestanding 50 foot lot and
those can be developed under the LDR’s and that house was allowed to be built on the 50
foot lot because it was separately owned. He has also seen plans for a house in a historic
district where it had an attached garage but it was in the back so that the garage doors
were not facing the street and in his opinion this is the issue with this particular design.
The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the Commission
who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an
official part of the minutes).
Mrs. Ellis moved to approve the appeal and adopt the Board Order,
seconded by Mrs. Montague. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Levinson – Yes; Mrs. Montague – Yes; Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr.
Fetzer – Yes. Said motion passes with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.B.RECONSIDERATION OF A CONDITION OF APPROVAL
ASSOCIATED WITH A CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/ROYAL PALM
BEACH CLUB:
Reconsideration of a condition of approval associated with the
conditional use request to allow a free-standing multiple family development to be known

as Royal Palm Club at Delray Beach in the GC (General Commercial) zoning district,
located at the northeast corner of South Federal Highway and Fladell’s Way (2501 South
(Quasi-Judicial Hearing)
Federal Highway).
Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Mayor Perlman asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications. Mr. Levinson stated he had no ex parte communications to disclose.
Mayor Perlman stated he had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mrs. Montague
stated she had a conversation with Michael Weiner. Mr. Fetzer stated he had no ex parte
communications to disclose.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and
Zoning Department project file #2006-040 into the record.
Mr. Dorling stated this is an item that staff is bringing back to the
Commission for a reconsideration of one condition of approval. He stated when this item
came before the City Commission at their meeting of April 4, 2006 there were six
conditions that were adopted as part of the finding. However, during the discussion,
there was a relief that was sought for a separation requirement (condition #4). It was the
understanding of staff that the Commission supported this although the motion that was
approved did not reflect this. Therefore, when this went back to the Site Plan Review and
Appearance Board (SPRAB) they took the conditions that were adopted and asked for
some clarification. Mr. Dorling stated when this was presented to the Commission, staff
said they supported the internal adjustment for those interior buildings and that it did not
affect the adjacent neighborhoods. He reiterated that this was supported by the
Commission; however, it was not reflected in the motion which said the Commission
would provide the 25 feet for all buildings.
The City Attorney stated this item is not for a reconsideration of a
condition of approval, but is really a motion for clarification. Mr. Dorling confirmed that
this is a motion for clarification.
Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner & Aronson, P.A., 102 North
Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach,
stated they agree with the staff report and the refining
of the conditions of approval as written by staff. He apologized for not catching this at
the time the motion was made.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve a substitute item Condition #4 which is
listed in the staff report for the original item #4, seconded by Mrs. Ellis. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Montague – Yes; Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs.
Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr. Levinson – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.

AGENCY (CRA)/REG ARCHITECTS, INC:
Consider approval of an Interlocal
Agreement between the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) which
provides for City funding in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00 for work performed by
REG Architects, Inc. to address the City’s historic districts and additional regulations.
Funding is available from 001-2511-515-31.90 (General Fund/Other Professional
Services).
Mayor Perlman declared a conflict of interest, passed the gavel to Vice
Mayor Ellis and stepped down from the dais.
The City Attorney stated this is an Interlocal Agreement with the CRA and
the CRA has a contract with Rick Gonzalez’s firm REG Architects, Inc. and REG wants
to add on the work for the historic guidelines. The work would entail a contribution from
the City of Delray Beach of $50,000.00 and $50,000.00 would be paid by the CRA.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement between the
City of Delray Beach and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), seconded by

9.D.MORATORIUM/IN-LIEU PARKING FEE REQUESTS:
Consider a
request from the Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) to impose a temporary
moratorium on the approval of in-lieu of parking fee requests until modifications to the
in-lieu fees are codified. Staff recommends denial.
Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated at its meeting of
April 25, 2006, the Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) was presented with
some modifications to the in-lieu of fees that are currently charged in the in-lieu areas.
Mr. Aronson stated staff was waiting to get appropriate land values and updated
construction costs. During that meeting after some deliberation, the Board tabled the
item to allow members additional time to evaluate the information and although a
quorum was present (six of eleven members) the members wanted additional input from
the absentee members. Subsequent to tabling the item, another motion was offered to
impose a temporary moratorium on the approval of any additional in-lieu requests until
the modifications to the in-lieu fees (if any), were codified. Given the low volume of
requests and the potential negative impact this moratorium might create, staff does not
support the recommended moratorium. Further, if the PMAB determines the appropriate
direction at their next meeting enactment of the associated changes could occur in
approximately the same time frame as enactment of a moratorium.
Mr. Levinson moved to deny the Parking Management Advisory Board’s
(PMAB) recommendation and allow them to “weigh in” when they have a full committee
and then bring the recommendation back to the Commission, seconded by Mrs. Ellis.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Levinson – Yes; Mrs. Montague –
DENY

Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated the Commission has
been asked to endorse the next Art & Jazz on the Avenue to be held on June 29, 2006
from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., approve the street closures and staff support as requested. Mr.
Barcinski stated there is a permit request, site plan, and insurance certificate included.
The estimated overtime cost for this event is $8,800.00 and cost for barricade rental is
estimated at $275.00. Based on the event agreement, the Downtown Marketing
Cooperative is to pay the City 20% for all costs over $1,000.00. The estimated charges
for this event are $1,835.00.
Mr. Levinson expressed concern that we continue to not to do anything
different and he understands from certain individuals that it would be nice for the
Downtown Marketing Cooperative (DMC) to spend time brainstorming on how we can
put some new life into Art & Jazz on the Avenue because the same bands are in the same
places. He stated it is time to look into something different and therefore he will not
support this event.
Mr. Fetzer concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Levinson and feels
it would be a good topic for a Workshop meeting to discuss some alternatives for Art &
Jazz on the Avenue.
Mrs. Ellis stated having been to the last Art & Jazz on the Avenue, she
stated there were new bands, more jazz, and the event was well attended. She stated she
talked to numerous people on the street that evening who felt that Art & Jazz on the
Avenue had been kicked up a notch (i.e. participation of Old School Square, the pavilion,
the library, the tennis site extending the event beyond Swinton Avenue to include some
of the merchants along West Atlantic Avenue).
Prior to the vote, Mrs. Montague asked how the Commission can address
Mr. Wheat’s concerns but at the same time move this forward.
Brief discussion between staff and the Commission followed.
Mrs. Ellis moved to approve Art & Jazz on the Avenue to be held on June
29, 2006 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with significant consideration for those businesses
th
(including Mr. Wheat’s) on S.E. 7 Avenue that are open until 5:00 p.m. and refer this
back to Downtown Marketing Cooperative (DMC) to work out a solution, seconded by
Mrs. Montague. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Montague –
Yes; Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr. Levinson – No. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote, Commissioner Levinson dissenting.
Item 9.J. of the Regular
At this point, the Commission moved to
Agenda.

other documents needed to close.
- 26 -
05/16/06
The City Attorney stated she anticipates a closing may occur before the
next Commission meeting. She recommended that the Commission approve these
agreements subject to modification.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve the form of the documents subject to
modifications, seconded by Mrs. Ellis. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr. Levinson – Yes; Mrs.
Montague – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.K.RESCINDING DEFENSE OF FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER/FORFEITURE OF PENSION:
Consider approval of rescinding the
defense of former law enforcement officer, Jack Mackler, and authorization to serve
notice to the Pension Board to forfeit the pension of the former officer due to criminal
convictions.
The City Attorney recommends that the City of Delray Beach withdraw
the defense of a former law enforcement officer that has been sentenced for violating the
law and seek authorization to serve notice to the Pension Board to start forfeiture of
pension proceedings.
Mr. Levinson stated traditionally pensions are shielded from bankruptcy or
judgments and inquired as to whether or not the pension would become eligible for use in
the restitution.
Brief discussion between the City Attorney and Mr. Levinson continued.
Mrs. Ellis moved to rescind the defense of former law enforcement officer
Jack Mackler and authorize to serve notice to the pension board to forfeit the pension of
the former police officer with direction to bring back to the Commission for another vote
if the pension can be attached for restitution, seconded by Mr. Fetzer. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Ellis – Yes; Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr. Levinson – Yes;
Mrs. Montague – Yes; Mayor Perlman – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.L.FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT APPROVAL/TROPIC CAY
TOWNHOMES:
Consider approval of the subdivision plat for Tropic Cay Townhomes,
an 8-lot, fee-simple townhouse development, located on the southwest corner of
Frederick Boulevard and Fladell’s Way (Avenue “F”). Staff recommends denial.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this is a plat
associated with an approval for a Class V site plan granted by the Site Plan Review and
Appearance Board (SPRAB) on October 27, 2004. The proposed plat consists of an 8-lot
townhouse type development to be constructed on lots that range from 24.29 feet to 39.67
feet wide by 115 feet deep. The development will consist of one 2-story building with
each townhouse unit containing three bedrooms and a two car garage. An access road
has been dedicated as a private road which will serve as primary access to the proposed
lots. This private roadway is connected on each end by public roads, Frederick
- 27 -
05/16/06
Boulevard, to the south and Avenue “F” to the north. This plat should dedicate this
private segment as a public roadway so that a continuous public road would exist. Staff
has concerns that this type of layout would create potential problems relating to
continued maintenance of this section and the perception by the general public that it is
publicly owned. Therefore, staff is recommending denial of this final plat. Mr. Dorling
stated staff has met with the applicant over the last few days and they have agreed to
dedicate the road as a public right-of-way. Staff would like to change their
recommendation to approve the final subdivision plat for Tropic Cay with the
modification of a public road dedication to occur on the plat mylar before the plat is
actually recorded.
Mr. Fetzer moved to approve the subdivision plat for Tropic Cay
Townhomes subject to the condition of the dedicated right-of-way, seconded by Mrs.
Montague. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Fetzer – Yes; Mr.
Levinson – Yes; Mrs. Montague – Yes; Mayor Perlman – Yes; Mrs. Ellis – Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
