motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
REGULAR AGENDA:
9.A. CONSENSUS STATEMENT/PUBLIC SCHOOL ISSUES: Consider
approval of a proposed consensus statement regarding public
school issues, and associated actions.
Janet Meeks, Senior Planner, presented an overview of
the consensus statement drafted in response to Commission direc-
tion at the September 12th workshop meeting, as follows:
(1) That while it is the City's desire to eliminate
the enclaves of students being bused to other municipalities,
the impact to do so in one year with no plans from the School
District to shift resources to accommodate the "re-culturing" of
the school is a detriment to the students as well as the communi-
ty as a whole;
(2) That the School District of Palm Beach County
modify their Five Year Plan FY 2001-2005 to include a new middle
school and elementary school to be located within the coastal
area of Delray Beach and identify and acquire the necessary land
suitable for the construction of the new schools; and
(3) Commission discretion regarding a statement on
whether or not to support the expansion of the Carver Middle
School magnet program.
-5- 09/19/00
Ms. Meeks stated that the recomended action is to
accept the consensus statement, request a meeting with the
School Superintendent of Palm Beach County to discuss the City's
concerns regarding the proposed boundaries, and to request that
the School Board defer adopting the proposed boundaries being
discussed by the Attendance Boundary Committee (ABC) for Carver
Middle School, Plumose Elementary School and Orchard View Elemen-
tary School for ninety (90) days in order to allow the community
to work with the ABC to come up with a plan that is equitable
for all students located within Delray Beach.
The City Manager then discussed some preliminary work
he had done with school boundaries just to show that there are
alternatives to those being considered by the Attendance Bounda-
ry Committee. He noted that the ABC proposal has Delray Beach
children going to four different middle schools. The alterna-
tive suggested by him has them going to two middle schools that
would either be in Delray or to the new Boynton Beach middle
school. He acknowledged that there are numerous variations to
his suggested boundaries, but the point is that there are better
ways of handling the situation than what is being proposed by
the Attendance Boundary Committee.
The City Manager further stated that while some diffi-
culty was encountered in getting all of the statistical informa-
tion, based on what was provided it seems that things are moving
in a positive direction and that the International Baccalaureate
program at Carver Middle School is helping to bring up the
percentage of black students participating in the Atlantic High
School IB program.
Discussion by the Commission ensued concerning support
for expansion of the International Baccalaureate program at
Carver Middle School. Ms. McCarthy expressed concern about the
potential impact of this action on the rest of the student
populace. She questioned if the IB program were to be expanded
by some percentage, would that then mean that the equivalent
percentage of the other student population that is not part of
the program would be removed from the school and bused to other
cities. If that were going to be the case, Ms. McCarthy felt
that the Commission needed to know that and be willing to accept
the impact of that decision.
In further discussion the Commission acknowledged the
potential for boundary district changes to have a very large
effect on allowing for expansion of the IB program at Carver
Middle School with little or no displacement of the general
student body. It was the consensus to support the expansion of
the magnet program if the new boundaries could be achieved.
Mr. Schwartz moved to accept the consensus statement
outlined by staff with the addition of the submission of a
suggestion of different boundaries as suggested by the City
Manager, that the Commission request a meeting with the Superin-
-6- 09/19/00
tendent and also a joint workshop with the School Board to
discuss the boundary changes, and that the School Board delay
making any decisions on school boundaries for ninety days as set
forth in the recommended action. The motion was seconded by
Mrs. Archer. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs.
Archer Yes; Mr. Schwartz - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
9.B. SPECIAL EVENT REQUEST/NORTH AMERICAN CORPORATE GAMES:
Consider approval of a request to use the Tennis Center for the
North American Corporate Games opening ceremonies to be held on
October 27, 2000, as well as a proposed street festival to be
held in conjunction with this event.
The City Manager stated that the proposal is to use
the tennis center for the North American Corporate Games opening
ceremonies, although as of today they were also looking at the
possibility of doing this at Old School Square instead of the
tennis center. If that happens, then there would certainly be
less cost for the City and probably less cost overall. The City
Manager recommended, however, that the Commission go ahead and
act on the subject request so that they would still have this
option if they were not able to work things out with Old School
Square.
Mayor Schmidt noted that the Commission did endorse
this event last November. It is going to bring a lot of people
to the community as well as giving the City exposure by hosting
the opening ceremonies.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve the special event request
for the North American Corporate Games, including temporary use
permits, staff support and waiver of overtime. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Perlman. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mayor Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer -
Yes; Mr. Schwartz - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.C. APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: Appoint an
alternate member to the Board of Adjustment to fill an unexpired
term ending August 31, 2001. The appointment will be made by
Commissioner McCarthy (Seat %4).
Commissioner McCarthy moved to appoint Janine Dabney-
Battle to the Board of Adjustment as an alternate member to fill
an unexpired term ending August 31, 2001. The motion was second-
ed by Mr. Perlman. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Schwartz -
Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items.
9 09/19/00
13.A. City Manaqer. --
The City Manager expressed his appreciation to the
Mayor and Commissioners for their confidence and support.
13 .B.
City Attorney.
The City Attorney expressed her appreciation to the
Mayor and Commissioners for their confidence and support. She
also expressed her appreciation to her staff for the fine job
that they do.
13 .C.
City Commission.
13.C.1. Commissioner Archer commented that the Principal at
South Technical Education Center had given a presentation at the
Progressive Residents of Delray (P.R.O.D.) meeting this morn-
ing. She was quite surprised to discover that South Tech is
probably the only fully active technical school in the county
and that in the next year there will be three times the number
of students at South Tech with only two-thirds of the budget.
Mrs. Archer stated that she wanted to bring this to the Commis-
sion's attention as it is something that needs to be included as
the City moves forward with the school boundary situation and
other school issues.
Mrs. Archer further commented that as we go through
the redevelopment process with the Community Redevelopment
Agency for the West Atlantic Avenue area, particular attention
needs to be given to the historic areas of the minority communi-
ty. She expressed concern that some of the historic homes might
be overlooked and suggested that there be some way for the
Historic Preservation Board to work in concert with the CRA to
make sure there is no further decimation of historic properties
in the minority community.
13.C.2. Commissioner Perlman commented that with respect to
South Tech, the City might want to consider working with Boynton
Beach on this issue because the Boynton Chamber is very con-
cerned about what is happening at that facility.
Commissioner Perlman commented on a book project
called "Indivisible" that was done by Duke University. He heard
today that it is being published and that the book includes some
chapter photos of the Haitian Roving Patrol as well as MAD
DADS. This is something that is going to go around the country
and he felt it was a tremendous honor that of all the programs
in the country, the roving patrol and MAD DADS were included.
Commissioner Perlman briefly reported on the Village
Academy. They are finally getting some furniture in, but are
continuing to battle the perception that they are a charter
school. He commented that ABC News Night Line is going to be in
town on Thursday (September 21st) to do a feature on the acade-
-10- 09/19/00
my, and also that Washington Mutual gave them $10,000 to open up
a family resource room where they can bring in parents and teach
them how they can impact their child's education. So it is a
great donation and a great program they will be able to launch
there.
Commissioner Perlman also reported that the MacArthur
Grant process is moving along in coming up with a list of people
for the steering committee. It is a rather large steering
committee that is coming together, but it is trying to be as
inclusive as possible because it is going to redefine the down-
town from the beach to 1-95 in what is quite an historic leap
for the City. Mr. Perlman also noted that there is some poten-
tial for additional resources through the Ford Foundation and
our allies at the MacArthur Foundation are going to be pushing
to get those resources in to Delray Beach.
13.C.3. Commissioner McCarthy echoed the remarks about the
South Technical Education Center. There are wonderful opportu-
nities offered for those students who choose to go into the
trades
13.C.4. Commissioner Schwartz also commented on the importance
of schools such as the South Technical Education Center as they
offer opportunities for education in the skilled trades that are
every bit as important as the professions. He would totally
support anything that can be done to support South Tech.
Commissioner Schwartz also commented that he had
received a copy of the annexation report for the Foxe Chase
community and asked what brought that about? The City Manager
stated that the association had formed a committee to explore
the possibility of annexing into the City. They met with staff
and asked that the report be prepared. It was provided to them
about a week and a half ago, but as yet no response has been
received. Mr. Schwartz commented on the significant increase in
taxes that the Foxe Chase residents would pay if they were to
come into the City, and so was not sure how they would take to
the prospect of annexation. He felt that the benefits provided
by the City might outweigh the increase in taxes, and would be
interested to see how the Foxe Chase community responds.
13.C.5. Mayor Schmidt had no comments or inquiries.
At this point, the time being 7:10 p.m., the Commis-
sion moved to the duly advertised Public Hearings portion of the
agenda.

Mr. Popik reiterated his opposition to the millage increase.
Mr. Perlman moved to approve Resolution No.
seconded by Mrs. Archer.
69-00,
Prior to roll call, Mr. Perlman commented that the
issue of raising taxes was not taken lightly by the Commission.
Considering the 2000 Roadway Bond and the Police and Fire pen-
sion hit this year, he felt that the Commission and staff worked
hard to cut the millage increase in half. In future years he
hoped the millage rate could either be held steady or further
reduced.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Schwartz - Yes; Ms.
McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.

The City Attorney stated that Resolution No. 70-00
levies a tax in the amount of 1.00 mill on all properties within
the Downtown Development Authority Taxing District of the City
of Delray Beach for FY 2001. This millage exceeds the 0.92

objections involved internal consistency within the Comprehen-
sive Plan, and the need for additional data and analysis to
support the Future Land Use Map changes proposed within the
Lindell/Federal Redevelopment Plan Area #6. The internal consis-
tency is achieved with the adoption of the Future Land Use Map
amendment outlined in the Redevelopment Plan (Ordinance No.

of the FLUM designation outlined in the Redevelopment Plan.

10.F.1. CONDITIONAL USE REOUEST/WATERWAY VILLAGE: Consider a
request for conditional use approval to allow a proposed 166
unit multi-family development (Waterway Village) to be located
within a mixed use development at the southwest corner of Lin-
dell Boulevard and South Federal Highway. QUASI-JUDICIAL PRO-
CEEDING
-17- 09/19/00
The City Attorney stated that this item would be
conducted as a quasi-judicial proceeding which allows for presen-
tations by all involved parties, the admission of documents into
the record and public testimony.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals who wished
to give testimony on this item.
Paul Dorling, Acting Director of Planning and Zoning,
entered the project file into the record. He stated that the
conditional use request involves the establishment of a mixed
use residential/retail/office development with a proposed densi-
ty of 14.31 units per acre. Conditional use approval is re-
quired for the multi-family component of the development propos-
al. Mr. Dorling noted that the proposal includes some off-site
improvements which are addressed as conditions of approval, and
that the proposal also includes the removal of two billboard
signs located at the south end of the property. The Planning
and Zoning Board considered the request at a public hearing on
May 22, 2000, and voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of the
conditional use request to allow a density of 14.31 dwelling
units per acre within the PC zone district for Waterway Village,
based upon positive findings with respect to LDR Section
4.4.6(I) (Performance Standards for Density), Redevelopment Area
No. 6 (Criteria), Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) and Section
2.4.5(E) (5) (Conditional Use Findings) of the Land Development
Regulations, and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and
subject to the list of conditions attached to the staff report
as Exhibit "A".
Mr. Dorling further stated that the applicant had
recently expressed some concern with the off-site improvements.
Since the off-site improvements were considered by the Planning
and Zoning Board in their deliberations to make positive find-
ings, Mr. Dorling felt it was imperative that they be carried
forward as conditions of approval. In addition, Mr. Dorling
stated that he wished to recommend another of condition of
approval that prior to the issuance of building permits, the
executed agreements relating to improvements on adjacent proper-
ties be provided to the City.
Jose Aquila, architect with Currie Partnership, spoke
on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Aguila stated that the appli-
cant was in general agreement with all of the conditions that
are imposed on the project, but felt that conditions ~8 and ~9
dealing with the off-site improvements required clarification.
He stated that the properties in question are the Orange Royal
business located on Federal Highway to the south of the Waterway
Village site and three properties located on Old Dixie Highway
adjacent to the northwest portion of the project site. The
applicant does not own or control these properties, but has
committed to facilitate certain improvements to them.
-18- 09/19/00
With respect to the Orange Royal site, Mr. Aguila
stated that the applicant has agreed to reseal the existing
parking lot, to provide at least eight (8) and possibly as many
as twelve (12) new parking spaces at the north end of the Orange
Royal property, restripe the parking, install wheel stops and
provide some trees and hedges along Federal Highway consistent
with the landscaping to be provided for Waterway Village. The
difference is that when the original plan was presented to the
Planning and Zoning Board, seventeen (17) new parking spaces
were shown at the north end of the Orange Royal site. Since
then, after providing for necessary drainage, that number has
been reduced to eight (8), although the applicant would try to
stretch that to twelve (12) new parking spaces.
With respect to the Dixie Highway properties, Mr.
Aguila stated that the southernmost of the three is owned by a
gentleman who cannot be contacted. Staff recognizes that the
applicant has done everything possible to try to make this
contact but it is virtually impossible to do, and so the appli-
cant is precluded from doing anything to that parcel. The
middle property is the convenience store which is a non-conform-
ing building. The applicant has agreed to do some facade im-
provements and provide some landscaping. The third parcel is
the existing nursery where the problem is that pretty much any
improvement would have caused a back-out parking situation which
could not be supported by staff. Due to the constraints on this
site, the applicant and the nursery owner have yet to reach a
reasonable agreement on what can and cannot be done to improve
the nursery site.
At this point, Mayor Schmidt opened the proceeding for
public comment. Speaking from the audience was the following:
Scott Frank, owner of Orange Royal, stated that he had
only recently been contacted by the applicant about reaching
some sort of an agreement on improvements. He felt that the
applicant was reneging somewhat on what they had said they were
going to do when the application was before the Planning and
Zoning Board. As far as he was concerned, there was no agree-
ment between him and the applicant.
There being no one else who, having been duly sworn,
wished to address the Commission, the public hearing was closed.
A lengthy discussion ensued with respect to the off-
site improvements. Mayor Schmidt stated that he did not feel
this was the proper forum for the applicant and the adjacent
property owner to debate what improvements might be made, and
suggested that it might be necessary for the Commission to
considering deferring action on the request until these issues
were resolved. Mr. Aguila explained that the applicant was
scheduled to close on the property the following Monday (Septem-
ber 25th) and that any delay would adversely impact the appli-
cant's ability to move forward with the project.
-19- 09/19/00
At this point, the City Attorney requested clarifica-
tion from the Acting Director of Planning and Zoning as to the
recommended conditions of approval for the Waterway Village
project. Mr. Dorling stated that the recommended conditions of
approval are as follows:
(1) That the applicant shall redesign the canal
access feature if access is granted by the South Florida Water
Management District, which can be reviewed as part of the site
plan review process;
(2) That the applicant shall construct a right turn
lane, pursuant to FDOT standards, on southbound Federal Highway
to accommodate traffic turning west onto Lindell Boulevard;
(3) That the applicant shall install pavement to
accommodate 24 feet of pavement width on both eastbound and
westbound Lindell Boulevard between the project's Lindell Boule-
vard entrance and Federal Highway;
(4) That the applicant shall repave the two travel
lanes (one eastbound and one westbound) from Federal Highway to
the project's Lindell Boulevard entrance, which are to be used
as a left turn lane into the project, and for eastbound Lindell
Boulevard/northbound Federal Highway;
(5) That the applicant shall install striping, stop
bars, direction arrows, etc. for the four lanes of Lindell
Boulevard between the project's Lindell Boulevard entrance and
Federal Highway;
(6) That the applicant shall install improvements to
the Lindell Boulevard median between Dixie Highway and Federal
Highway to include landscaping, curbing, irrigation, etc. as
noted on the improvement plans submitted with the conditional
use request;
(7) That the conceptual plan shall be revised to
correctly note the proposed density as 14.31 dwelling units per
acre;
(8) That the off-site improvement plan be revised to
provide an off-street parking area in accordance with LDR Sec-
tion 4.6.9;
(9) That the applicant shall be responsible for the
improvements to the adjacent properties and that these improve-
ments are completed prior to release of the first Certificate of
Occupancy for the project;
(10) That the two billboards shall be removed within
sixty (60) days of the start of construction;
-20- 09/19/00
(11) That the applicant shall submit a minimum of
three design options for the "Welcome to Delray" sign and re-
ceive approval by the City Commission prior to issuance of a
building permit. The applicant shall be responsible for the
installation of this signage. The plat shall include a sign
tract dedicated to the City for maintenance access purposes;
(12) That a cross access easement shall be provided
across the Walgreen's property for access by the residential
development;
(13) That a site plan be submitted that is in general
conformance with the sketch plan and address the concerns and
technical items contained within the staff report;
(14) That a mix of shade and Royal Palm trees be
provided along Lindell Boulevard and Federal Highway; and
(15) That prior to the issuance of building permits,
the executed agreements relating to improvements on adjacent
properties be provided to the City.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve the conditional use
request to allow a density of 14.31 dwelling units per acre
within the PC zoning district for Waterway Village, based upon
the positive findings adopted by the Planning and Zoning Board
and subject to the fourteen (14) recommended conditions of
approval plus the additional (fifteenth) condition of approval
recommended by the Acting Director of Planning and Zoning. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Schwartz.
Upon further discussion, it was the consensus of the
Commission to table the conditional use request to allow the
applicant, the adjacent property owner and staff to develop a
list of off-site improvements that the applicant would incorpo-
rate into the development plans, including a minimum of twelve
(12) parking spaces at the north end of the Orange Royal site.
The Commission then moved to Item 10.G., Ordinance No.
25-00.
10.G. ORDINANCE NO. 25-00: An ordinance amending Chapter
51, "Garbage and Trash", of the City Code by amending Section
51.70, "Regular Charges Levied", to provide for an increase in
residential and commercial collection service rates for FY
2001. 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 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.
The City Manager stated that under our contract with
BFI for solid waste collection services, they are entitled to a
Consumer Price Index adjustment in the charges that they levy
for collection of solid waste. It has been the City's practice
in the past to pass these increases through to our customers.
The FY 2001 adjustment represents about a 3% increase in our
rates.
Mayor Schmidt declared the public
Speaking from the audience was the following:
hearing open.
Henry Williams, 310 N.W. 3rd Avenue, questioned why
BFI was getting an increase when it is the same company that the
City has been having problems with? Mayor Schmidt replied that
the increase is not discretionary on the City's part, but is
contractual.
There being no one else who wished to speak on this
item, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Schwartz moved to approve Ordinance No. 25-00 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Perlman.
Prior to roll call, Ms. McCarthy acknowledged the
concerns about the increase in rates and about the complaints
that have been received about BFI's performance. Whatever
company the City decides to contract with next for this service,
she felt that any increases ought to be attached to performance
instead of having automatic raises. That way, if a company is
not going to do the job, they will not be rewarded for bad
behavior.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Schwartz - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Schmidt - Yes; Mr.
Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.

10.F.1., Conditional Use Request for Waterway Village.
to Item
Mr. Aguila, architect representing the applicant,
stated that the following agreement had been reached. The
improvements that will be done by the applicant to the Orange
Royal property include resealing and restriping the existing
parking lot, provide twelve (12) new parking spaces to the north
of the existing asphalt with striping and wheel stops, provide
ten (10) trees along Federal Highway that will be a mix of Royal
Palms and something else as will be done for the Waterway Vil-
lage project so there will be landscape consistency, and provide
a hedge along Federal Highway. Mr. Aguila stated that other
than going from 17 spaces to 12 parking spaces on the north side
of Orange Royal, the improvements stipulated to by the applicant
are what were represented to the Planning and Zoning Board and
relied upon by that board in making their recommendation to the
City Commission.
On the Dixie Highway side, Mr. Aguila stated that the
applicant can only deal with the convenience store and the
nursery site (i.e. the two northernmost properties). The south-
ernmost parcel cannot be addressed as the applicant cannot get
access to the owner. With respect to the convenience store, Mr.
Aguila stated that the applicant agrees to install landscape
improvements as shown on the sketch provided to the Acting
Director of Planning and Zoning, facade improvements to the
Dixie Highway elevation, and reseal and restripe the parking
lot. Mr. Aguila stated that the property owner has agreed to
and will allow these improvements to be done to his property.
With respect to the nursery site, Mr. Aguila stated that he was
not sure how much asphalt exists, but wherever there is asphalt
it will be resealed and restriped, and landscape improvements
installed as presented to the Planning and Zoning Board and as
shown on the sketch plan.
On question from Mayor Schmidt, Mr. Frank (owner of
Orange Royal) stated that he had discussed the improvements set
forth by Mr. Aguila and was comfortable with what was proposed.
Mrs. Archer amended her motion to include the list of
off-site improvements as read into the record by Mr. Aguila on
behalf of the applicant. Mr. Schwartz amended his second.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor
Schmidt - Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr.
Schwartz - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
Prior to adjournment, Mayor Schmidt asked if there
were any additional comments from either the public or the dais?
-24- 09/19/00
Mrs. Archer asked that when the RFP is prepared for
garbage and trash collection, a request for participation by the
vendor in various community events be included as a part of the
package. The City Manager commented that this is normally done
as part of the RFP.
There being no further business,
