Pat Cayce stated that a memo had been received from
Joe Dragon, Assistant Director of Parks & Recreation,
regarding the Board' s comments and recommendation from
its February 2, 1994 meeting with respect to the
waste-pump at the City Marina dock. Mrs. Cayce stated
that Jeff Costello would explain the matter and answer
the Board' s questions.
- 2 - 2/16/94
As the memo was not received in time to be included in
the Board packets, Mr. Costello passed out copies and
asked that the Board take time to read it before
continuing with the discussion. Mr. Costello
suggested that if the memo adequately addressed the
Board' s concerns as expressed at the last meeting,
then the matter of screening the waste-pump device
should be the focus of the discussion.
It was a consensus of the Board that an appropriate
wood fence or cbs wall should be installed to screen
the waste-pump. Buck Miller stated that vehicles
parking in front of the fence or wall might damage
either one and it was suggested that the parking space
in front of the pump be reserved for bicycles or
motorcycles. If a fence is used the HPB recommends
that landscaping be installed in front it. If a wall
is used decorative tile or a painting of the Marina' s
anchor symbol would be an attractive addition.
Additionally, the Board recommended that the parking
area at the north end of the Marina be striped and
supplied with wheel stops .

SHERRY HOWARD AND RICHARD BLAKE, OWNERS
RENOVATION OF A SINGLE FAMILY CONTRIBUTING RESIDENCE
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action requested of the Board is that of granting approval
for COA 8-220 to allow the renovation of a single family
contributing residence.
BACKGROUND
This property is located at the northwest corner of N.E. 7th
Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue. Built in 1939, it is of frame
construction in the vernacular style. The porch was enclosed
and the west entrance was added sometime in the 1950 's.
DESIGN ELEMENTS
South facade
The applicant is proposing to restore the porch to its original
screened enclosure by removing the metal jalousies and siding.
The front screen door will be relocated approximately 4 ' to the
west. A half round stoop will replace the existing entrance
steps. The double metal window to the west of the porch is to be
replaced with a smaller double hung wood window.
West facade
The side entrance on the west elevation is to be removed.
The wood double hung windows will replace the existing windows
and the door.
The house is to be painted mint green with white trim.
COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS
This is an appropriate renovation for the building. The
removal of the jalousies and the west entrance will restore the
house to its original appearance.
I recently spoke to the owner and he is now indicating that if
he can afford it he would prefer to enclose the porch with glass
Staff Report
COA 8-220

windows in wood frames. I am unclear as to whether these would
be French doors or full length windows. I have asked the
applicant to bring sketches or photos of what he has in mind.
The Board could approve the screen enclosure at this meeting and
request the applicant to return at a later date when he plans to
install the windows. Another alternative would be to approve
the COA with the exception of the porch treatment, so that the
balance of the construction can commence.
Paint chips for the main color will be available at the meeting.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Approve COA 8-220 with the porch treatment as presented
based on positive findings to Section 4 .5. 1(E) (7) .
2 . Approve COA 8-220 based on positive findings to Section
4 .5. 1(E) (7) with the exception of the porch treatment and
request the applicant to return at a later date to finalize the
type and style of the porch windows.
3. Deny COA 8-220 based on failing to make positive findings
to Section 4 .5. 1(E) (7)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
After discussion with the applicant the Board should make the
appropriate choice of approval.
1 . Approve COA 8-220 with the porch treatment as presented
based on positive findings to Section 4.5. 1(E) (7) .
2 . Approve COA 8-220 based on positive findings to Section
4 .5. 1(E) (7) with the exception of the porch treatment and
request the applicant to return at a later date to
finalize the type and style of the porch windows.

MEMORANDUM
TO: DAVID J. KOVACS, DIRECTOR
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND BONING
FROM:
JEFFREY A. COSTELLO
PLANNER
RE: SLOAN HAMMOCK - HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD ACTION OF
OCTOBER 6, 1993
DATE: OCTOBER 7, 1993
At its meeting of October 6, 1993, the Historic Preservation
Board reviewed the development proposal for Sloan Hammock, a
multi-family development, located on the west side of SE 7th
Avenue, south of SE 1st Street, and took the following actions:
Variances
A. Approved a variance request to LDR Section 4.3.4(K)
(Development Matrix) (7-0) , to reduce the required side
yard setback from 15' to 10' for a proposed 3 car garage.
The Board approved the variance based upon positive
findings with Section 4.5.1(J) , that a variance is
necessary to maintain the historic character demonstrating
and that it would not be contrary to the public interest,
safety, or welfare.
B. Approved a variance request to LDR Section 4.3.4(K)
(Development Matrix) (6-1, Buck Miller dissenting) , to
reduce the required rear yard setback from 25' to 13'8" for
the garage. (Actual garage to be 17' from rear with
overhang and columns extending to within 13'8".
The Board approved the variance based upon positive
findings with Section 4.5. 1(J) , that literal interpretation
of the provisions of the existing ordinances would alter
the historic character of the historic district or historic
site to such an extent that it would not be feasible to
preserve the historic character (related to distance
between the garage and the historic house--need reduced
rear setback to maintain appropriate distance between the
structures) .
C. Approved a variance request to LDR Section 4.6.2 (Distance
Between Residential Buildings) (7-0) , to reduce the
distance between two residential buildings within multiple
family developments from 24' to 18.5' , in that there is an
open first floor area that allows additional air
circulation.
The Board approved the variance based upon positive
findings with Section 4.5.1(J) .
To: DJR
Re: Sloan
Page 2
Waivers
D. Approved the waiver request from LDR Section 5.3. 1 (7-0) to
reduce the right-of-way width from 60' - 40' .
E. Regarding the sidewalk waiver, the Board voted (6-1, Buck
Miller dissenting) , to require that the sidewalk be
installed along the west side of S.E. 7th Avenue from the
north property line to the northernmost parking space. The
request to waive the installation of the balance of the
sidewalk (to the south property line) was denied, however,
the Board agreed to allow payment for the costs of the
improvement in lieu of the actual sidewalk construction.
Site Plan
The Board considered three alternative parking
configurations during its review of the site plan.
Alternative #1 adds 6 ' of asphalt to the west side of the
parking spaces to accommodate all parking on the site and
out of the right-of-way. A landscape island is provided in
the middle of the spaces. Alternative #2 provides 5
parallel parking spaces on site within the existing
asphalt area, and places 5 spaces off of the alley (backing
out) . Alternative #3 involves the relocation of 3 of the
existing backout spaces to the rear off of the alley, and
the addition of 6' of asphalt to the west side of the
remaining parking spaces, in order to remove them from the
right-of-way.
With respect to Alternative #2, the Board felt that because
it would require the relocation of 5 spaces to the rear of
the site, the buffering between this property and the
commercial property to the west would be insufficient.
Similarly, the Board felt that although Alternative #3
would relocate fewer (3) spaces to the rear and would
remove some parking and asphalt area along 7th Avenue, it
would also require an extensive amount of buffering to be
removed between the residences and the commercial area to
the west. As the backout parking is existing, they felt it
was not detrimental to the site to allow it to remain, and
therefore supported Alternative #1.
F. The Board approved the site plan (COA 8-215) for Sloan
Hammock (7-0) subject to the following conditions:
1. That a recorded Unity of Title be submitted to the
Planning Department prior to issuance of a building
permit submittal.
2. That parking Alternative #1 be approved, and that a
revised site plan and landscape plan be submitted
showing the new configuration.
To: DJK
Re: Sloan
Page 3
3. That a landscape island be provided between the
parking spaces along S.E. 7th Avenue to break up the
asphalt.
4. That the proposed fence along the east property line
be relocated further to the west in order to provide a
landscaped area between the fence and backout parking
area.
5. That the Technical Items listed below be addressed
with the revised submission:
* Provide one handicap parking space and ramp with
required signing and striping.
* Relocate the scooter and bike parking elsewhere
on the site, and provide a landscape island in
this area.
* Provide the location of the nearest fire hydrant
with a dimension to the site.
* Provide a typical parking lot striping detail
on the plans.
G. Approved the landscape plan for Sloan Hammock (7-0) with
the condition that the proposed shrubs in the islands
adjacent to the backout parking area be a minimum of 6'
from the end of the landscape islands.
H. Approved COA 8-215 for Sloan Hammock (7-0) with the
following conditions:
HAMMOCK HOUSE
The applicant will return to the HPB with revised plans for:
* The center window opening on the east facade
* Some method of reducing the scale and massing of the roof.
The board's suggestions were to lower the center unit's
roof; remove the third story by removing the widow's walk
and cupola.
* The main paint color has been changed and the applicant
will submit samples available in the vinyl siding.
GARAGE
Applicant will submit front elevation (west) to reflect the
3'4" arcade which was specified in the variance.

VARIANCE TO SIDE SETBACK.
Positive findings to 4 .5. 1(J) (1)
Side Setback
(a)
(b)
(d) Felt this was the minimum necessary, not to build the
garage, but to maintain the the open space within the
development. Board was swayed by the fact that the
owner of the property to the north, the most impacted
by the setback, gave written approval for the
reduction.
Rear Setback
Positive findings to 4 .5 . 1(J) (1)
(a)
(b)
(c)
Positive findings to 4 .5. 1(J) (2) Appropriate adaptive reuse
(a)
(b) Board recognized that the garage was desirable and could
not be built without a variance without having some part of
the contributing house demolished. Board felt the arched
arcade was an interesting design element and that the 3 '
roof would provide shelter from the rain(???) for a person
opening the garage door. Variance was reduced from the
requested 10 ' to 13 '4", with the west wall of the garage to
be constructed 17 ' from the rear property line.
Positive findings to 4 .6 .2
(a)
(b)
(d) There was some concern about the fact that the second floor
wall extends over the porch but after discussion positive
. findings were made.
Design Elements for COA 8-215
With respect to the design elements HPB COA 8-215 with the
following conditions :
HAMMOCK HOUSE
The applicant will return to the HPB with revised plans for:
* The center window opening on the east facade
* Some method of reducing the scale and massing of the roof.
The board' s suggestions were to lower the center unit's
roof; remove the third story by removing the widow's walk
and cupola.
* The main paint color has been changed and the applicant
will submit samples available in the vinyl siding.
GARAGE
Applicant will submit front elevation (west) to reflect the
3 ' 4" arcade which was specified in the variance.
HISTORIC RESIDENCE
Applicant will return with revised plans for the front
entrance porch; window enclosures for the front porch;
front door and front screen door.
OTHER ITEMS
Applicant will submit plans for an alternative to the
picket fence in front of the historic house; and for an
alternative to the proposed wood walkways which are used
throughout the project.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Historic Preservation Board
THRU: Joe Weldon, Director
Parks and Recreation D .
FROM: J. Dragon, Assistant Director
Parks and Recreation Dept.
DATE: February 14, 1994
SUBJECT: Pump Station at Municipal Marina
At the Historic Preservation Board meeting of February 2, 1994, 1 was requested to meet
with Mr. Jim Reynolds, Chief Design Engineer,to determine; (1)if the cost of tying into
the sewer main at the south end of the marina is any greater than tying-in at the north end,
and; (2)if the pump could be tied into the lateral serving the marina building at even a
lower cost.
Please be advised that I met with Mr. Reynolds on Friday,February 11, with the following
results:
1. While there is nothing that prohibits us from tying into the lateral serving the
marina building,the lateral comes out from the west side of the building so that there
could not be a straight-line tie-in to the lateral from the pump no matter what side, north
side or south side, of the building the pump was located. There would have to be a 90
turn into the lateral if the pump were located on the north side of the building, and at least
a 45°turn from the south side of the building. While a 45 turn is feasible and functional,
we have a small sitting and picnic area on the south side of the building and it would be
totally undesirable and unacceptable to locate the pump there.
2. Costs for locating the pump on the north side of the building and making a
straight run into the sewer main would probably be no greater than the tie-in at the north
end of the marina according to Mr. Reynolds. He indicated it would not be practical to tie
into the lateral from the north side of the marina building because it requires two 90 turns
to get to the sewer main..
3. The wooden docks at the south end of the marina do not run the entire length
of the seawall like the wooden dock at the north end. There are three wooden docks each
approximately 21 feet in length at the south end. No matter what size boat docks there
7X�
FEB 1994
PLANNiNG & ZON,i• •.3
4
to use the pump, boaters would have to reach-out and pass hoses over the water 3 to 4
feet from the seawall to the boat creating a safety factor.
4. While the Board disagreed that both slips at the south end would have to be
eliminated, and dismissed our concern about boats pulling in and out of there while
another boat is docked there, I am still quite uncomfortable with the risk the City would
be taking under these circumstances. Furthermore,we would not have to relocate any
marina residents. The north-end slip is currently vacant while both south-end slips are
occupied.
5. Visually, the pump on the north side of the marina building is as visible to
residents, passers-by, visitors, etc. as is the pump located at the north end of the marina.
The marina building is not a factor in screening the pump. The pump located adjacent to
and north of the marina building would have to be screened just as the pump location at
the north end would be screened.
6. Mr. Reynolds indicated a new design plan would obviously have to be drawn
and that he would then have to contact the contractor to discuss a change order for cost
impacts and/or seek new bids.
Overall the pump location at the north end of the marina at this time certainly appears as
the most practical and least expensive. The visual impact with appropriate screening is
the same at either end of the marina.

The following procedure is suggested for handling ex parte
communications:
(a) All written communication received by Commission
members concerning an application or pending case
should be immediately turned over to the Planning and
Zoning Director and the City Clerk to be included in
the record. Once identified as a written communi-
cation regarding a pending matter, the written
communication should not be read further.
(b) For oral communications, as soon as it is determined
that the communication relates to a matter which will
be heard by the Commission, the conversation
regarding that subject must end.
The basis of all decisions by the Commission must be based on
the evidence presented to the Commission at the hearing on the
case which shall include the staff file, testimony of all

+_., witnesses and other evidence presented. The conduct of the
hearing should be as set forth in the procedures for quasi-
judicial hearings.
The purpose of the procedures for quasi-judicial hearings is to
ensure due process . Time limits may be imposed on the
applicant, the public, staff and other witnesses.
The proposed rules apply to all site specific, rezonings,
conditional use proceedings and at any time the City Commission
sits in an appellate capacity.
It may be necessary from time to time to revisit our procedures
for quasi-judicial hearings as we gain experience with the
hearing process in order to provide due process in the most
efficient manner.
As you may have noted when you read the article, "The Snyder
Slide Down the Slippery Slope" , that the Snyder and Jennings
decisions raise a lot of questions that are as yet unanswered.
We will try to update you from time to time as the law becomes
settled in this area.
There are currently several bills before the legislature
dealing with access to local public officials which may
eliminate the presumption of prejudice of an ex parte
communication. We will be watching these bills and will let
you know the outcome which may negate some of the prohibitions
we have previously mentioned regarding ex parte communications.
P sp call if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1994
TO: DIANE DOM NGUEZ, PRINCIPAL PLANNER
FROM: PAT CAYCE, ISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNER
SUBJECT: BUILDING COUNT SURVEY FOR OSCEOLA PARK SUBDIVISION AND
AN EXPANDED AREA IN SOUTHEAST DELRAY BEACH.
BACKGROUND
The target area of this building count survey is located in a
close-to-downtown neighborhood in the southeast section of
Delray Beach. A number of historically significant buildings
are located in the area as the survey includes Osceola Park, one
of the oldest subdivisions in the City. The Community
Redevelopment Agency requested the building count in order to
estimate the cost of hiring a consulting firm to prepare a
comprehensive survey for the neighborhood. It is possible that a
matching grant for funding the comprehensive survey may be
obtained from the Florida Division of Historical Resources. It
is my understanding that the matching grant funds would be
provided by the CRA or be shared with the City. As most
consultants base their fees on the number of structures to be
surveyed (roughly $50 per building) , it is essential for the CRA
to have a building count in order know the financial scope of
the project before contemplating a grant request.
AREA OF SURVEY
The boundaries the survey are as follows:
Bounded on the north by the alley running south of E.
Atlantic Avenue.
On the south by S.E. 10th Street.
On the west by the FEC Railroad tracks.
On the east by the alley in Blocks 117, 118, 119 and 120;
by an average depth of 100' on the east portion of S.E. 6th
Avenue between S.E. 4th Street and S.E. 7th Street; and by
S.E. 7th Avenue between S.E. 7th Street and S.E. 10th
Street.
The boundaries are subject to change if it is determined that a
comprehensive survey be undertaken.
SCOPE OF THE SURVEY
This survey was conducted to estimate the number of buildings in
the target area. Strip centers and condominiums were tabulated
as one unit regardless of individual structures, thus the number
of actual buildings will be greater on a comprehensive survey.
