9.A.A.A. ORDINANCE NO. 34-01: An ordinance amending Chapter 32 "Departments,
-5-
05/15/01
Boards and Commissions" of the City Code of Ordinances. If passed, a public hearing will be
scheduled for June 5, 2001.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 34-01:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE
CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, CHAPTER 32, "DEPARTMENTS, BOARDS,
AND COMMISSIONS", HEADING "GENERAL
PROVISIONS"; BY AMENDING SECTION 32.07,
"MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS",
TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT WITHIN THE CITY AS AN
ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATION; PROVIDING A
GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, SAVINGS CLAUSE,
AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 34-01 is on file in the City Clerk's office.)
The City Attorney presented an alternate ordinance that does not change the
caption and reads as follows: "...and/or employed as an officer of a public company located
within the City..." as opposed to the original ordinance that reads "...and/or employed within the
City..."
Discussion by the Commission followed.
Mayor Schmidt stated this ordinance came up as a result of a discussion he had
with the City Attorney regarding who would be eligible to serve on the Charter Revision
Committee. Mayor Schmidt stated the City Attorney pointed out that any member or task force
member has to be a resident of the City or own a business in the City. Mayor Schmidt stated he
felt the City was limiting their options with appointing people to Boards and suggested that the
City consider expanding to people who are employed within the City.
Mrs. Archer stated she agrees with Mayor Schmidt and is in favor of supporting
this. She stated this has come up several times with Board appointments where there have been
some good people who happen to not own a business in the City but are indeed committed to
Delray Beach.
Mr. Levinson stated he spoke to the City Attorney regarding the alternate
ordinance only because when the original decision was made that someone serving on a board or
committee had to be a resident of Delray, he suspects the rationale was the City wanted someone
who was in a decision making capacity in their business to affect that business. Knowing that
there was an individual who was under consideration at one time for a City Board recently who
was an officer in a public company, Mr. Levinson feels this was certainly acceptable.
Mayor Schmidt stated if someone is willing to make a commitment to be on a
Board, it does not matter whether they are in management or not. Mayor Schmidt stated it is up
-6-
05/15/01
to the Commissioner to examine their motivation if they are being considered for appointment as
opposed to someone that may be just sitting there as a figurehead for a company that they work
for.
Ms. McCarthy stated she feels people who are employees in a business for several
years may have another perspective. She stated people who actually work in the City but do not
live in the City are still very concerned and committed about what happens in the City. Ms.
McCarthy stated we do have people who run businesses when the business owners are not here.
Ms. McCarthy stated in some particular committees this might not be applicable. However, Ms.
McCarthy does not feel it is in the best interest of the City to stipulate that an individual cannot
serve on any committee.
Mr. Perlman concurred with comments expressed by Vice-Mayor McCarthy. As
it's currently worded, an individual would have to be an officer. He stated the Commission has
discretion when making an appointment and feels comfortable with those controls that it comes
back to the Commission eventually.
Ms. McCarthy moved to approve Ordinance No. 34-01 as presented in the
backup, seconded by Mr. Perlman. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.A.A.A.A. CONSULTING SERVICE AGREEMENT/MARK BRIGGS &
ASSOCIATES: Approve the Letter of Agreement for consulting services between Mark Briggs
& Associates and the City for the preparation of the City's Section 108 Loan Guarantee
application. The fee is $29,000 plus not-to-exceed out-of-pocket expenses of $3,000. Funding is
available from 118-1074-554-31.90 (Community Development/Other Professional Services).
With regard to future Section 108 Loan Applications, Mr. Perlman asked if the
City hires the consultant would the knowledge that the City gains be beneficial for the City in the
future? In response, Ms. Butler feels it would be beneficial for the City because she is learning
from the consultant. Ms. Butler stated the consultant is not here to get business but is here to
show her the process of how to calculate and negotiate these things. Ms. Butler has had several
meetings already where the consultant has not charged the City and stated by the end of this
process staff will be able to do future applications on its own.
Ms. McCarthy asked if there is a separate agreement that stipulates once this is
done that it belongs to the City of Delray Beach? In response, the City Attorney stated the City
has a Letter Agreement.
Mr. Perlman moved to approve the Consulting Service Agreement with Mark
Briggs & Associates as amended, seconded by Mrs. Archer. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt
- Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

AGREEMENT WITH PENCIL~ INC.: Consider approval of an agreement with
-7-
05/15/01
PENCIL, Inc., a non-profit organization that encourages private sector and civic involvement to
support the public schools by inviting individuals to be "Principal For A Day".
Janet Meeks, Education Coordinator, stated this is before the Commission to
consider a Trademark Lease Agreement to allow the Education Board to use the logo "PENCIL".
Shelly Weil~ Delra¥ Beach Education Board, stated the PENCIL, Inc. Program
is a non-profit organization that encourages private sector and civic involvement to support the
public schools by inviting individuals to be principals for a day. Mr. Weil stated the PENCIL
Program was iniated in New York City approximately five years ago and he feels it is a fantastic
program. PENCIL is the acronym for Public Education Needs Civil Involvement in Learning
and ends with a single day in learning PFAD (Principals For A Day). Mr. Weil stated for the last
year they have been drafting, seeking, and asking for the help of the business community. Mr.
Weil stated they began by talking to principals and gave them three choices and asked them if
they had a choice of someone being a principal in their school would they prefer a politician, a
CEO, or a famous athlete. The program will be applied to the thirty schools in Delray Beach and
eight out of the thirty principals were already polled and four of the eight would prefer an athlete
and four would prefer a CEO. Mr. Weil stated approximately sixty candidate volunteers want to
do the job but there are only thirty schools. The Delray Beach Education Board would like to
implement this program and use the name of the organization for their annual event, which they
anticipate to host in the late fall. Mr. Weil announced that the PFAD event will take place on
November 8, 2001 between 8:30-12:30 p.m. and each of these athletes and CEO's will come into
the schools and afterward a luncheon will be held at either Old School Square or the Marriott.
Mr. Weil stated he is working with Mr. Walsh and Ocean Properties to hold a Town Hall
Meeting to get the thirty principals for a day to discuss what they saw and how they felt. Lastly,
Mr. Weil urged the Commission to support this program.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve the agreement with PENCIL, Inc., a non-profit
organization that encourages private sector and civic involvement to support the public schools
by inviting individuals to be "Principal For A Day", seconded by Ms. McCarthy. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt -
Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.B. ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF BRONSON AVENUE: Consider
approving the abandonment of that portion of Bronson Avenue, beginning approximately 100
feet south of East Atlantic Avenue, and extending to the south end of the street.
Paul Dorling, Planning Director, stated the request involves an abandonment of
approximately 437 feet of Bronson Avenue beginning approximately 100 feet south of Atlantic
Avenue.
The First Presbyterian Church of Delray, which owns all property adjacent to the
subject area, submitted the abandonment request. In addition to the adjacent properties, the
Church owns numerous parcels to the north of the subject area, which function as a single
campus. A main worship hall, a school building, two (2) apartment buildings, three (3)-paved
parking lots, as well as other facilities are located on the campus.
-8-
05/15/01
The right-of-way is improved, and functions as a public roadway, which is
substandard by current code (LDRs require 60-feet of width for a local road). In addition,
municipal water and sewer lines and facilities for Florida Power & Light, Florida Public Utilities,
and Adelphia Cable are currently located in the abandonment area.
At its meeting of January 24, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the
request at a public hearing at which time no one from the public spoke in opposition. After
discussion, the Board vote 6 to 1 (Hasner dissenting), to recommend approval with the six- (6)
conditions listed on page 5, of the Planning and Zoning Staff Report.
Staff is recommending that the City Commission approve the abandonment of the
portion of the Bronson Avenue right-of-way based upon positive findings with respect to LDR
Section 2.4.6(0)(5), subject to the following conditions:
Provision of a replacement access and utility easement for the full length and
width of the abandonment area, and supply a sketch and description of said
easement,
Reimbursement to the City the sum of $13,935.60 (per the schedule in the agenda
backup) for the recent roadway improvements of Bronson Avenue.
Provision of an adequate turn-around area in the northern portion of the
abandonment area, for the remaining portion of Bronson Avenue,
Approval by the Fire Department of any gate that restricts vehicular access to the
abandonment area,
Recordation of a "unity of title" instrument that joins all individual parcels that
are adjacent to the subject abandonment area,
6. Processing of an application for a site plan modification for the gate and
turnaround areas.
Mr. Levinson stated he understands the interest is enclosing the north end from a
gated perspective so access would be impeded from traffic roadway. Mr. Dorling stated it would
be a controlled access. Mr. Levinson stated during the Downtown Charrette process there was a
lot of discussion regarding the grid system we have in our community and how effective in terms
of future planning that grid system can be. Mr. Levinson suggested to defer this for some period
of time to grant them a gateway to prohibit access but to not make a final decision on the
abandonment until we finish with an urban planner and address some of the concerns raised as a
result of the Downtown Charrette.
Mr. Dorling stated this street dead ends into church property and is surrounded by
church property. The First Presbyterian Church has a gate system that was approved by the Site
Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) last week. The City Manager stated this is not
-9-
05/15/01
part of the grid and a big part of the right-of-way is only 20 feet. From the City's perspective it
serves no public purpose and reiterated that it serves nothing but The First Presbyterian Church
property.
Mrs. Archer stated she feels there is nothing to gain by allowing the abandonment
of this particular piece of property. Mrs. Archer stated it might be different if there were access
at the other end or if there were other property owners involved and there are none. She feels it
would be beneficial to the church and in fact probably easier to handle traffic that may enter the
area now and have difficulty in turning around. Mrs. Archer stated she feels it would be to the
City's benefit to do this since it is not part of the original grid system and we have nothing to
gain by holding on to it.
For clarification, Ms. McCarthy inquired about Lots 7-15 and Lots 16-24 and
asked if the First Presbyterian Church owns all the lots? In response, Mr. Dorling stated the
Church owns Lots 7-24. Ms. McCarthy inquired about the area behind these lots facing Atlantic
Avenue north of the easement, and asked if these businesses use the area behind their lot for any
type of traffic or accessway?
Dan Marfino, Senior Planner, stated the area behind these buildings will not be
impacted by the abandonment and the church is providing a turn-around area closer to the north
end so it will be easier to make that turning point to get back out on Atlantic Avenue. In
addition, Mr. Marfino stated the area behind the buildings would be large enough for cars and
trucks to turn around.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve the abandonment of the portion of the Bronson
Avenue right-of-way based upon positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.6(0)(5) and
accept the easement deed, the access easement, and the Unity of Title subject to the six
conditions imposed by Planning and Zoning as listed on page five of the Planning and Zoning
Staff Report, seconded by Mr. Perlman. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms.
McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson -
No. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote (Commissioner Levinson dissenting).
9.C. LEASE AGREEMENT/FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: Consider
approval of a Lease Agreement between the City and First Presbyterian Church.
Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated this is a proposed agreement
for a lease of the Presbyterian Church lot on the west side of Gleason Street, which is now a 25-
space parking lot. The City will pay $1,140 per month, over a three-year term, with an automatic
two-year renewal, unless either party give notices that there will be no renewal (approximately
$40 per space). The City will convert the lot into 39 parking spaces and have committed to
restripping the lot and making it a legal lot. Mr. Barcinski stated the City would have use of the
lot most days, however the lot would be reserved for church use on Sundays. In addition, the
church lot will be used for funerals, weddings, and other activities. Mr. Barcinski stated the City
has been working on this with the church to try and get additional parking east of the
Intracoastal.
-10-
05/15/01
Mr. Levinson asked if this lot was put in the new sign package? In response, Mr.
Barcinski stated this was not part of the sign package and the City will need to add a sign for it
unless the lot is made an "Employee Only Lot".
Mr. Perlman commented he is very pleased to see this because it has been a long
time coming.
Mr. Perlman moved to approve the lease agreement between the City and First
Presbyterian Church, seconded by Ms. McCarthy. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mayor Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes;
Ms. McCarthy - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.D. JOINT VENTURE REQUEST/EXTEND CLOSING TIME OF
SANDOWAY PARKING LOT: Consider a request from Joint Venture to extend the closing
time of the Sandoway Parking Lot on June 1st until 10:00 p.m. to accommodate the Hot Air
Balloon Glow.
Paul Dorling, Planning Director, stated this is a request from the Joint Venture to
extend the parking lot hours for Sandoway Parking lot until 10:00 p.m. to accommodate the
Balloon Glow, which is opening ceremony to a weekend event known as Balloon Race
Weekend. It will be held on Atlantic Avenue between Ocean Boulevard and Andrews Avenue
from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. Last years attendance for the event was estimated between 3,000-4,000
people.
Mrs. Archer asked how many times the City has extended the closing time for
Sandoway Parking Lot for special events? In response, Mr. Barcinski stated the Sandoway
Parking Lot has extended the closing time for special events approximately three or four times.
Mr. Perlman moved to approve the request from the Joint Venture to extend the
closing time of the Sandoway Parking Lot on Friday, June 1, 2001 until 10:00 p.m. to
accommodate the Hot Air Balloon Glow, seconded by Mr. Levinson. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms.
McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.E. SOLID WASTE BID AWARD/BROWNING, FERRIS INDUSTRIES:
Consider approval of a bid award for Solid Waste Collection to Browning, Ferris Industries
(BFI) with an estimated amount of $2,254,300.00. Funding from 433-3711-534-34.50, 51, 55,
56 and 57 (Sanitation Waste Disposal - Contractual Service).
Joe Safford, Finance Director, stated per the City Commission request, staff
prepared a bid package regarding solid waste. Mr. Safford stated the appropriate advertising was
sent out and noted staff also utilized the DemandStar. com Website. Mr. Safford stated there was
a lot of activity on the bid, which resulted in five bidders deciding to bid on the entire package.
Prebid conferences were conducted and resolved all the issues. The bid package only required
one addendum throughout the entire process. On April 27, 2001, the City opened five bid
submissions and had the following results. Browning, Ferris Industries was the low bidder with
an estimated annual amount of $2,254,300. The base bid basically vegetation pickup on the first
-11-
05/15/01
solid waste collection day for a resident which means everyone in the City (residential) will have
their vegetation picked up on either a Monday, Tuesday, or a Wednesday. The alternate bid is
like the present system being picked up six days a week.
Mr. Safford stated the City should stay cleaner with vegetation pickup being on
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. However, if it does not prove to be so once implemented,
Mr. Safford stated the City can always convert back because the alternative is less cost to the
hauler as opposed to this. The committee recommends the award of the bid to BFI because they
are the low overall bidder.
Mr. Perlman moved to approve the bid award for Solid Waste Collection to
Browning, Ferris Industries (BFI) with an estimated amount $2,254,300, seconded by Ms.
McCarthy. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson -

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10.A. ORDINANCE NO. 17-01 (FIRST READING/FIRST PUBLIC HEARING):
An ordinance amending the LDR Section 4.4.13 regarding parking requirements in the CBD
(Central Business District) zone district to accommodate required parking utilizing valet parking,
including parking appliance/lift system or tandem parking, and LDR Section 4.6.9 establishing
design standards for valet and tandem parking arrangements. If passed, a second public hearing
will be scheduled for June 5, 2001. Prior to consideration of this ordinance on FIRST
Hearing/First Public Hearing, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 17-01:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 4.4.13,
"CENTRAL BUS1NESS (CBD) DISTRICT, SUBSECTION
4.4.13(D), "CONDITIONAL USES AND STRUCTURES
ALLOWED", TO PROVIDE THAT REQUIRED PARKING FOR
CERTAIN USES MAY BE PROVIDED AS VALET PARKING,
SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AND SUBJECT TO CONDITIONAL
USE APPROVAL; AMENDING SUB SECTION 4.4.13 (G),
"SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS", AMENDING
SECTION 4.6.9, "OFFSTREET PARKING REGULATIONS",
SUB SECTION 4.6.9(C)(2)(c), "MULTIPLE FAMILY
STRUCTURES", TO PROVIDE THAT PARKING MAY BE
PROVIDED IN FRONT OF GARAGE UNITS WITHIN
TOWNHOUSE AND TOWNHOUSE-TYPE DEVELOPMENTS,
SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; AMENDING SUBSECTION 4.6.9(F),
-12-
05/15/01
"SPECIAL PROVISIONS", BY ENACTING A NEW
SUBPARAGRAPH 4.6.9(F)(3) TO ESTABLISH DESIGN
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS FOR VALET AND TANDEM
PARKING ARRANGEMENTS; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE,
A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 17-01 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, Planning Director, stated this text amendment was previously
before the Commission and allowed multi-family uses to accommodate required parking in valet
configurations and commercial uses east of the Intracoastal to accommodate required parking in
either a tandem layout or through the utilization of an appliance lift system.
The Commission had concerns over the multi-family component and the
ordinance was modified to eliminate this aspect of this request. The ordinance then returned to
Commission and it was continued to the meeting this evening to receive community input
through the Downtown Charrette process.
The amendment involves three issues. The first allows tandem parking for
townhouses similar to that currently enjoyed by single family units where the two required
parking spaces can be accommodated (one in the garage and one in the driveway). The second
issue (through the conditional use process) would allow 100% of the required parking for
restaurants, cocktail lounges, hotels, and residential type inns within the Central Business
District, east of the Intracoastal Waterway, to be accommodated through the provision of valet
parking. Mr. Dorling stated this would be subject to the surface parking configurations outlined
in the LDR change. The third issue is an addition to allowing the required parking to be
accommodated in a valley configuration of an appliance lift system. The amendment also
includes minimum landscape screening requirements and soundproof requirements for those
specific lift systems.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the amendment at their meeting of
January 22, 2001 and recommended approval on a 6-0 vote. However, it is noted that this
recommendation was provided prior to the Charrette process at which time there was public
opposition expressed related specifically to the appliance lift systems.
Mayor Schmidt declared the public hearing open.
Fran Marincola~ 1138 S. Vista Del Mar Drive~ stated this ordinance came to be
because he applied for a development with Tandem parking. The Planning and Zoning
Department did not turn it down but stated an ordinance needed to be written regarding tandem
parking. Mr. Marincola explained it is a moot point now because the particular project that was
hitched to this ordinance ran out of time so it no longer is attached to any development in town.
-13-
05/15/01
Mr. Marincola stated there were three comments made at the Downtown Charrette
that he feels were inaccurate. First, it said they did not want the valet parking because valets
drive too fast. Mr. Marincola stated this ordinance has nothing to do with driving or valet
parking so he feels this statement is inappropriate. The other point that was made was that this
ordinance increased density. Mr. Marincola stated this ordinance does not increase intensity for
two reasons. One, if someone wants to open up a restaurant, a bar, cocktail lounge, or a hotel in
this town Mr. Marincola stated he has a system where you can buy the parking in lieu fees so no
one gets turned down. Mr. Marincola stated this ordinance actually gives the City Commission
and the Parking Management Advisory Board an option. The other reason it does not increase
intensity is because it is a conditional use. Mr. Marincola stated he supports this ordinance and
feels the City needs to have rules that govern tandem parking.
Bruce Gimm¥~ 439 East Atlantic Avenue, concurs with comments expressed by
Mr. Marincola and stated the Parking Management Advisory Board is looking for solutions.
Dan Burns~ 1036 Bucida Road, stated he is opposed to part of this ordinance
because of the parking appliance/lift systems. He stated he has had experience with lifts above
ground and the ones built underground for approximately forty years. If the lifts are not
maintained properly they can break, cause noise, and other unsightly things. He stated a
comment was made at the last meeting he attended and someone suggested encasing the motor
(electric) inside cement. He stated if the motor breaks then the cement would have to be broken
in order to get to the motor. In addition, Mr. Burns stated anything that is encased like this is
going to over heat. Mr. Burns stated one solution to this would be to charge the restaurants more
money for some of the outdoor dining that they are not paying rent on and use this money to buy
some lots that the City can put parking on.
Robert Currie~ 134 N.E. 1st Avenue, stated this is a creative way to solve the
parking problems and supports this ordinance. In terms of conditions, Mr. Currie stated if the
Commission agrees to the parking appliance/lift system portion, the lifts could be enclosed with
a roof or walls to insure that there is privacy and no noise. Mr. Currie supports the tandem
parking with valet and reiterated that he feels this is a very reasonable solution to some of the
parking problems.
Henry Williams~ 310 N.W. 3ra Avenue, stated he has worked with hydraulic lifts
his entire life and stated even if the lifts are enclosed with cement, noise will still be generated
from the lifts. Mr. Williams stated he has had experience with hoses constantly breaking with
some of the machinery he has worked on. Mr. Williams stated the hoses hold up to 10,000
pounds of pressure and if they break they make an unsightly mess and urged the Commission to
not support this ordinance.
There being no one else who wished to address the Commission on this issue, the
public hearing was closed.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve the amendment to the Land Development
Regulations Section 4.4.13 to allow required parking to be accommodated utilizing valet parking
-14-
05/15/01
and Section 4.6.9 establishing design standards for valet and tandem parking arrangement as
contained in Ordinance No. 17-01 on FIRST Reading/First Public Hearing, seconded by Mrs.
Archer for discussion purposes.
Discussion by the Commission followed.
Mayor Schmidt stated he heard public comment at the Downtown Charrette about
the lift systems but he had the opportunity to speak to a few planners from Treasure Coast that
were familiar with the systems they recommended not approving the systems because of
problems with noise. In addition, they feel the City may be opening up a Pandora's Box in town
with parking if this is approved as a conditional use. Mayor Schmidt stated he is not going to
support that portion of the ordinance.
Mr. Perlman stated he was waiting for the Downtown Charrette as well. He stated
there are parts of the ordinance he would like to consider at a later date and feels there will be
support for garage projects.
Mrs. Archer stated she agrees that at best this is a temporary solution and does not
want to be in a position of allowing development of any property with increased density by
reducing the amount of parking spaces required especially since at this time the City is looking to
review what we are doing in terms of density and how it impacts our City. Mrs. Archer
explained she is not in favor of supporting a parking appliance/lift system at this time.
Mr. Levinson stated he too heard comments expressed at the Charrette and also
went by the old CRA office. With regard to Mr. Currie's comments about the tandem parking
and the valet, Mr. Levinson stated he has concerns about the slippery slope on the lift system.
Mayor Schmidt stated the motion on the floor is to approve Ordinance No. 17-01
and asked that the roll be called. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Levinson
- No; Ms. McCarthy - No; Mayor Schmidt - No; Mr. Perlman - No; Mrs. Archer - No. Said
motion failed with a 5 to 0 vote (Ordinance failed).
Mr. Levinson stated he does not have a problem with the tandem/valet west of the
Intracoastal Waterway and suggested that the Commission look to see if this would make sense
in any the other areas around the City. Mr. Dorling asked if this would be for the Central
Business District (CBD) area east and west? Mr. Levinson stated it would be for the CBD for
both the east and west areas. Mr. Dorling asked if this would also include the townhouse tandem
parking allowing the townhouses to count tandem spaces similar to a single family? In response,
Mr. Levinson stated he would like to see this included.
It was the consensus of the Commission to give staff direction to revise the
ordinance to include tandem/valet parking in the Central Business District (CBD) area both east
and west including the townhouse tandem parking allowing the townhouse to count tandem
spaces similar to single family and present to the Commission at a later date.

Henry Williams~ 310 N.W. 3ra Avenue, stated he is not clear regarding the
meaning of this ordinance because the Commission is talking about redevelopment with the
Charrette process and asked for clarification on what part of the redevelopment they mean.
Mr. Perlman stated this is just updating things that are old and does not include
the West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC). Mr. Perlman explained a lot of this is for
"housekeeping" purposes and stated the Commission is not ignoring the Charrette.
Diane Domin~uez~ CRA Director, stated this is the Redevelopment Plan, which
includes all the programs that the CRA is operating, and a lot of the plans that the CRA has for
the redevelopment area. Ms. Dominguez stated the CRA will be participating with the City in
the Master Plan for the Downtown area and reiterated that this is mainly updating some of the
programs and plans. Furthermore, Ms. Dominguez explained once the Master Plan is completed
and after the CRA goes through their own goal setting processes, the Redevelopment Plan may
have to be amended again.

ll.A. City Manager's response to prior public comments and inquiries.
The City Manager had no response to prior public comments and inquiries.
11.B. From the Public.
ll.B.1. Dan Burns~ 1036 Bucida Road, stated he is leaving this week for the rest of the
summer and addressed a few issues that may be coming up this summer. First, Mr. Burns
commented that at the south end of A1A there is a building that wants to go to four stories or
possibly even higher. Mr. Burns stated the City has a beautiful beachfront and feels it would
only ruin the appearance by allowing such a big building to be erected. He is strongly opposed
to a building of such height to be erected and recommends the City not allow this to happen to
either the east side or the west side of A1A.
Secondly, Mr. Burns stated he has been informed that a motel next to Boston's
Restaurant, on the south side, may be purchased and that they want to bring the motel all the way
to the sidewalk. Mr. Burns is also strongly opposed to this issue and noted he submitted a letter
to Mr. Dorling, Planning Director, regarding the height restriction for the building and would
like to see that the letter is made part of the record.
Mr. Burns stated he is very much in favor of outdoor dining in Delray Beach.
However, he feels some of the restaurants are getting out of line because it is nearly impossible
to walk down the street without having to step out into the street to avoid running into someone
while they are eating their dinner. Mr. Burns suggested that there be better policing in these
areas and emphasized that these restaurants that allow outdoor dining need to abide by the City's
regulations.
Lastly, Mr. Burns thanked the Commission and staff for their time and support.
ll.B.2. Alice Finst~ 707 Place Tavant, stated she listened intently to the presentation
about the recreation programs and fields in Delray Beach that was recently presented. She stated
there was a parcel of land that was not on the identification of recreation areas. The City in its
recreation programs formally used this parcel of land. Ms. Finst stated If you stand on the deck
of the Tri-Rail Station and look to the south you can see the parcel of land which is completely
encircled by a paved walking area and has a back stop that is almost not visible due to a giant
palm tree that has grown through the middle of it. In addition, Ms. Finst stated there appears to
be remains of a basketball court and a field that was used by the City of Delray Beach for many
years for either tee ball or soccer. Ms. Finst stated if the City is tight for land then something
should be done to reactivate this area.
Ms. Finst stated this seems like an ideal location because the parking for the Tri-
Rail or the Courthouse is not being used at night or late afternoon when the children would be
playing. She strongly encouraged the City to look at this parcel of land and see if something can
be done.

05/15/01
ll.B.3. Jean Beer~ 2145 S.W. 26th Terrace, stated that after the Charrette Commissioner
Levinson said something about "remember going home from school with a tree seedling in
hand?" Ms. Beer stated if the streets are well paved and inviting, the rest of the neighborhood
will improve around it. Therefore, Ms. Beer stated the property values would go up. She feels it
would be wonderful if there could be tree lined streets on every street in Delray Beach. Ms. Beer
asked if there is any way to investigate through our neighborhoods about possibly starting little
tree nurseries and get free seedlings from someone.
Ms. Beer thanked the Commission for the recent paving of Southridge Road. She
stated this had been a dirt road for approximately forty years.
At this point, Mr. Levinson stated there was a National Arbor Day whereas a city
could be a "Tree City". The City Manager stated in the past the City of Delray has been a "Tree
City" but he does not believe we are now. Mr. Levinson stated that his comment to Ms. Beer
was that when he was kid on May 1st (Arbor Day) you would get a seedling to take home and
plant. Mr. Levinson stated the Arbor Day Foundation would give the seedlings away and the
City may want to consider participating in something like this by giving the seedlings to the
school children to plant in an effort to help the trees.
ll.B.4. Mary Alford~ 31 N.W. 14th Avenue, speaking on behalf of the Gateway
Homeowners' Association, stated they were told the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) has denied their request for a left hand turn signal off Atlantic Avenue in the areas
which the Gateway Homeowners' Association feels left hand turn signals are necessary. She
stated that someone made a comment this evening was that there was not enough traffic. Ms.
Alford stated she does know when the traffic studies are conducting but this is not the case and
feels there is indeed heavy traffic volume on Atlantic Avenue. Ms. Alford stated she lives off
N.W. 12th Avenue and there is a school located on the south side of the street and the traffic is
very bad in the mornings and evenings. Ms. Alford asked for assistance from the Commission as
to obtaining a list of reasons why FDOT keeps turning down the request. Ms. Alford stated since
she and other residents live in this area, they feel there is a definite need for these signals
(especially around N.W. l0th Avenue and N.W. 12th Avenue).
ll.B.5. Jay Alperim Co-Chair of the All America City Committee for Delray Beach,
announced that tomorrow is the Committee's kick-off fundraiser. Mr. Alperin distributed badges
to the Commission, which say that the City of Delray is one of the finalists. Mr. Alperin
announced the All America City Committee's presentation in Atlanta would be held on June 22,
2001 at 9:40 a.m. Mr. Alperin invited everyone to attend the dress rehearsal on June 19, 2001 at
7:30 p.m. at Old School Square and encouraged all City employees to wear the badges.
ll.B.6. John Bennett~ 137 Seabreeze Avenue, recognized the following Delray Beach
citizens (a copy is attached hereto and incorporated herein as an official part of the minutes):
-22-
05/15/01
World War I (WWI)
Harry Fish
Marvin W. Milton
Loney Myers
Harry Oller
World War II (WWII)
Benjamin F. Jetton
Howell Jones
John Jupinko
Shelton Lamb, Jr.
Ben F. McIntosh
Logan McNeil
Bradley O'Neal
Alfred Priest
George Riley
Charles L. Vreeland
Vietnam
Arthur R. Sprott, Jr.
Mr. Bennett explained these individuals shared two things in common. One, they
left Delray Beach for noble national purpose and secondly, they did not return alive. Mr.
Bennett stated whether or not they left to end all wars or to contain communism in Southeast
Asia, they left from here and they were residents of Delray Beach. Mr. Bennett stated on
Memorial Day some of us will gather to commemorate all the nations war dead so he thought it
would be appropriate to single out some of the men who were from this area. In addition, Mr.
Bennett stated there will be a ceremony at the municipal cemetery starting at 9:30 a.m. and
another ceremony will be held at Veteran's Park at 11:00 a.m. Mr. Bennett encouraged the
Commission and citizens to attend one of the ceremonies and especially urged those with
children to bring them in an effort to help them learn that freedom is not free.
9.F. NAMING RIGHTS/DELRAY BEACH TENNIS CENTER: Consider
approval of a proposed agreement with Sports Marketing Consultants Inc. to act as a Non
Exclusive Agent for the City of Delray Beach to sell naming rights for the Delray Beach Tennis
Center.
The City Manager noted that changes need to be made to the agreement and the
City Attorney needs to work on the changes. However, the City Manager stated staff is asking
for direction. Staff is presently preparing the Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals
from companies so that the City may select a company to sell the naming rights for the tennis
center. The City Manager stated this would come back to the Commission at the June 5th or the
June 19th meeting. The City Manager stated if the Commission were interested in doing
something with this firm whether it be for a year or six months then we work out an acceptable
agreement. If not, then we would let them know that we would be glad to accept their proposal
in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP). The advantage is things would get started sooner
and the disadvantage would be locking up the twenty-one (21) firms that they want exclusive
rights to and whoever gets the RFP would not be able to solicit those firms.
Mr. Levinson asked if Mr. Dubin is recommending this? In response, Mr. Dubin
stated he is recommending the firm and the contract that was initially agreed upon. In addition,
Mr. Levinson recommends the RFP process.
-23-
05/15/01
At this point, Mayor Schmidt recommended to wait until the RFP process is
complete and let Sports Marketing Consultants, Inc. bid on it.
It was the consensus of the Commission to recommend the RFP process and bring

of the agreement. For example, "no above ground structure will be located in any fairway" and

the parties".

would utilize their tower for other purposes? The City Attorney stated she did not discuss this
with the City Manager.

COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS.
13.A. City Manager.
The City Manager stated he is pleased to report that the City has a tentative
agreement on the contract with the Police Benevolent Association (PBA). The City Manager
explained the language in the agreement needs to be finalized before it can be presented to the
Commission for a vote.
The City Manager presented the Commission with a progress report regarding the
goals and objectives that were set last year for the current fiscal year.
The City Manager stated at the League of Cities Board of Directors Meeting,
Palm Beach County is proposing to increase their impact fees and he distributed copies of the
proposed increases. Also, behind that sheet, the City Manager explained there are two sheets
regarding the districts. The first sheet has district letters A-R with fourteen districts that are
-26-

currently used and the impact fees that are collected within each district must be spent within that
district. The second sheet is a six-district scheme that the County is proposing to go to in order
to give them more flexibility in spending this money. The City Manager stated various cities at
the League of Cities Board of Directors Meeting were very concerned about it. The disparity
between east and west that you could have monies collected in the east and spent in the west and
vice versa and the traffic needs are different were pretty cool for the idea of this particular
scheme. The City Manager feels the existing Road Impact Fee District should be retained as
they are. The City Manager announced that this would be going to the Palm Beach County
Commission at a worksession on July 24th.
With regard to the Legislature, the City Manager stated the Geller Bill did pass
which provides a $100 cash payment per citrus tree removed in the Citrus Canker Control
Program.
At this point, Mayor Schmidt commented that from what he read in the
newspaper, the amount of money that was appropriated is not going to be sufficient this budget
year to reimburse everyone. Therefore, the Florida Department of Agriculture is planning to
reimburse everyone by spreading it over a two-year period.
13.B. City Attorney.
The City Attorney had no comments and inquiries on non-agenda items.

be serving with and feels very proud to be a part of it.

Downtown Charrette being held on June 4, 2001, and asked if notices will be sent to inform
people of this presentation? Commissioner Perlman, Co-Chair for the Downtown Charrette
Steering Committee, stated he would contact Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement
and Diane Dominguez, CRA Director, regarding this matter.
at 8:00 p.m.
