FINDINGS OF FACT
HPB MEETING SEPTEMBER 16 , 1992
DAVID MARTIN ARCHITECT, AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR OWNER, SALAH
SAWAYA.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
A request to recommend to the City Commission that Section
2 , Paragraph 2 of Ordinance No. 70-89 be amended.
BACKGROUND
On August 5, 1992 the HPB conducted a preliminary evaluation
to determine the effect the amendment would have on the
Designation Report, on which Ordinance 70-89 is based. The
preliminary evaluation revealed that the amendment
conformed to the Designation Report, with one exception,
pursuant to Section 4 . 5 . 1(C) ( 3) (b) of the LDRs which
pertains to floor area, density and height. The HPB was
also of the opinion that the amendment would not negatively
effect the historic house to the west of A-I-A, or the
historic site as a whole. The applicant was advised to
proceed with a Public Hearing. Pursuant to Section
2 . 4 . 2 (B) ( 1) (b) a notice was sent to property owners within a
500 ' radius and was published in the Delray News on
September 5, 1992 .
ACTION OF THE HPB AT THE SEPTEMBER 16 , 1992 MEETING
The HPB conducted a Public Hearing to gain input regarding
the proposed amendment. There were no comments in favor of
the amendment. Mr. John Washburn, contractor for Mr. Jack
Eichelberger, spoke against the amendment. Mr & Mrs
Eichelberger are constructing a residence on the second lot
to the north of the subject property. A letter of
opposition from Mr. Eichelberger was read into the record,
and is attached.
The Historic Preservation Board voted to recommend to the City
Commission that Ordinance No. 70-89 be amended. The vote was
5-2 , Pat Healy-Golembe and James Miller dissenting. .

AGENDA ITEM 3
HPB MEETING SEPTEMBER 16, 1992
STAFF MEMORANDUM
DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
TO: HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: PAT CAYCE
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COMMISSION
AN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 70-89 .
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
A request to recommend to the City Commission that Section
2, Paragraph 2 of Ordinance No. 70-89 be amended.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance 70-89, which is attached, designated the Fontaine
Fox Historic Site to the Local Register of Historic Places.
The site consists of 3 lots: the western lot faces Andrews
Avenue and is vacant; the center lot, located on the west
side of AIA, contains an historic single family dwelling and
3 guest cottages; the eastern lot is located on the east
side of AIA. The street address for the Fontaine Fox
Historic Site is 610 N. Ocean Boulevard.
Section 2, paragraph (2) of the Ordinance states that "no
dwelling unit used or developed east of State Road A-I-A
( the eastern lot) shall contain more than 2400 square feet
of gross floor area" .
On June 18, 1990 the HPB approved plans for a 2400 square
foot dwelling to be constructed on the beach lot by the
owners, Joyce and Roderick Wilson. Before construction
commenced, the lot and approved plans were sold to Mr. Salah
Sawaya. On December 18, 1991 Mr. Sawaya obtained a COA to
redesign the exterior of the proposed residence while
retaining the previously approved footprint and the maximum
2400 square feet of gross total floor area.
In June of 1992, David Martin, authorized agent for Salah
Sawaya, requested an amendment to Ordinance NO. 70-89 to
allow an 850 square foot addition to the gross floor area,
resulting in a dwelling with a total of 3,250 gross square
feet. The building' s footprint on the originally approved
site plan will remain unchanged. The procedure to amend the
ordinance is detailed in a July 7, 1992 letter to David
Martin, which is attached.

Public Hearing
Agenda Item 3
Page 2
On August 5, 1992 the HPB conducted a preliminary evaluation
to determine the effect the amendment would have on the
Designation Report, on which Ordinance 70-89 is based. The
preliminary evaluation revealed that the amendment
conformed to the Designation Report, with one exception,
pursuant to Section 4 .5. 1(C) (3) (b) of the LDRs which
pertains to floor area, density and height. The HPB was
also of the opinion that the amendment would not negatively
effect the historic house to the west of A-I-A, or the
historic site as a whole. The applicant was advised to
proceed with a Public Hearing. Pursuant to Section
2 .4 .2(B) ( 1) (b) a notice was sent to property owners within a
500 ' radius and was published in the Delray News on
September 5, 1992 .
If the HPB votes to approve the recommendation it will be
sent to the City Commission at the next available meeting
for their consideration.
At the preliminary evaluation on August 5, 1992 the HPB was
shown proposed style and design changes to the previously
approved Sawaya residence. If the amendment is approved by
the City Commission the applicant will return for a COA
which will reflect the new design and the modifications
necessary to accommodate the additional square feet.
ANALYSIS
* The proposed amendment, is reflected on page 5,
paragraph B (3) of the Designation Report, which is
attached. It is the staff's opinion that this change
does not constitute a significant alteration to the
Designation Report.
* The addition of 850 square feet of gross floor will not
effect the historic nature of the property.
* The addition will be incorporated into the footprint of
the approved site plan.
POSSIBLE ACTION
* Deny the recommendation, with reasons stated.
* Approve the recommendation, based on the findings that
the proposed amendment does not significantly alter the
Public Hearing
HPB Agenda Item 3
Page 3
Designation Report; and does not negatively impact the
historic nature of the site as a whole.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the recommendation; and specify that approval
by the City Commission does not constitute COA
approval. It will be necessary for the applicant to
return to the HPB for all exterior modifications .

Re: Fontaine Fox Historic Site proposed ordinance
amendment.
Dear David,
On June 22, 1992, Jeff Costello and I met with David Kovacs,
Planning Director, to determine the procedure necessary to
request an amendment to Section 2, paragraph (2) of
Ordinance 70-89 (Fontaine Fox Historic Site). This paragraph
of the Ordinance states that "no dwelling unit used or
developed east of State Road A-I-A shall contain more than
2400 square feet of gross floor area" . You have requested
that the Ordinance be amended to allow an additional 800
square feet for a total of 3200 square feet of gross floor
area.
The procedure to request the amendment is as follows:
1. The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) will review your
request at one of its regularly scheduled meetings.
The purpose of this review is to determine what effect,
if any, the amendment will have on the designated
historic site. After evaluation the Board will set a
date for a Public Hearing.
2 . The HPB will conduct the public hearing which will be
noticed by letter to property owners within a 500 '
radius of the subject property and will be advertised
in the newspaper.
It will be necessary for you to provide us with a 500 '
radius map from the Property Appraiser's office and a
list of property owners within the 500 ' radius. In
addition you will provide mailing labels for the 500 '
radius property owners. We will then prepare the letter
of notification, execute the mailing and advertise the
notice in the newspaper. Both the mailing and the
advertisement must be completed ten days before the
scheduled public hearing.
THE E_FORT A!V AYS MATTE=S

I am enclosing a Variance application for you to
complete. It should be accompanied by a letter of
justification explaining the basis for the request.
Please have the Agent Authorization form on page 4
signed and notarized by the property owner. A fee of
$151 . 25 is required for processing this request.
3 . After the Public Hearing the Board will send its
recommendation regarding the amendment to the City
Commission. The City Commission will consider the
recommendation at a first reading at the next
available regular meeting. The second reading of the
Ordinance amendment will be conducted at a Public
Hearing at the following regular City Commission
meeting.
I hope this letter explains the procedure necessary to
request an amendment to Ordinance 70-89 Fontaine Fox Historic
Site. If you have any questions or if I can be of any help,
please phone me, 243-7284.

STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION
Date: AUGUST 31 , 1992
To : CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
HISTORIC PERSERVATION BOARD
Re : VARIANCE REQUEST
615 N. OCEAN
MR. & MRS . SAWAYA RESIDENCE
FORMERLY MR.& MRS . WILSON RESIDENCE
The house was originally designed as a beach cottage for Mr .
& Mrs . Rod Wilson, who were living in the main house west of
AlA. A complete set of working drawings was executed for the
Wilsons , and a building permit was issued. Since then the beach
front property was put on the market , and subsequently sold to
Mr . & Mrs Sawaya. The building permit was part of the package
purchased by the new owner , Mr . & Mrs . Sawaya.
Mr .& Mrs . Sawaya then retained Architect David Martin to
customize the house to meet their needs . Since certain
variances were obtained by the Wilsons , these variances
necessitated any change or plan revision be accomplished
within the footprint of the original house , which was done
accordingly.
In addition, the City created ordinance 70-89 , which states that
a residence on this property east of AlA be limited to 2, 400
square feet . The original proposed design met this criteria,
however , the original plan contained only two bedrooms and a
very small kitchen. The proposed new plan contains 850 square
feet of additional living space , which allows three bedrooms ,
a larger kitchen and master suite , and the addition of a music/
library room off the living room.
Due to major concerns regarding the high maintenance of a wood
siding exterior and wood shake roof , the new house proposes the
use of stucco finish on exterior masonry block wall and tile
roof , in a traditional bermuda southeast Florida vernacular more
in keeping with beach front homes from Boca Raton to Palm Beach,
therefore, having minimum impact on this historical site .
It is important to point out in your consideration, beach front
homes in the immediate area average approximately 7 , 500 square
feet of gross living area, while the proposed residence before
you contains 3 , 250 square feet of gross living area. Also the
lir .
property to the south is city owned beach property where no
residence will ever be constructed . In addition, the north
elevation is quite narrow (barely over 20 feet ) , which again
minimumly impacts the properties to the north .
In summary , the additional 850 square feet of living area should
be granted to Mr . & Mrs Sawaya, parents of a boy and a girl , age
eight and five respectively , so the new house will fulfill their
family ' s need .

preserve the architectural and cultural significance of one of the
City's most distinctive private residential- oceanfront estates,
which is popularly known as the "Ocean Apple Estate" (hereinafter

legal description of the Subject Property is described in Exhibit
B.
III. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
The house is significant because of its architectural style, the
man who first owned the Property and the man who designed the
improvements. The house was originally constructed
or y J and owned
by Fontaine Fox, a world-famous cartoonist.
it represents one of a few remaining "beach" cottages reflecting
the Cape Cod bungalow style typical of houses built on North Ocean
Boulevard from Delray/Gulfstream to Manalapan.
The Owner: Fontaine Fox
In 1933, Fontaine Fox began purchasing the land for what would be
known as 610 North Ocean Boulevard. By 1934, he owned all of lots
1, 2, 3, 4 and the north half of lot 5 of Palm Beach Shore Acres.
The house itself is located on lot 3 and the north half of lot 4.
Fontaine Fox commissioned John Volk, a personal friend, to design
a house on North Ocean Boulevard.
Fox, a cartoonist of both national and international acclaim,
was best known for,his cartoon "Toonerville Trolley" . Launched in
edi
1916, the cartoon was syndicated throughout' the world, appearing
in several languages. - - -
1
Born in 1884 in Louisville,--Kentucky, - Fox began•hiscareer--as
a cartoonist in grammarat theo school, continuing
Herald throughout
oatreporterh hand
when he began working �::
cartoonist. After two years of study at the Uni:vetsity of Indiana
where he studied and drew cartoons part-time, he -returned to
Kentucky to work at the Louisville Times until the Chicago Post
gave him national recognition and distribution :in 1915. Much of
the small town subject matter for his cartoons came from people he
knew in then suburban/rural Louisville. He moved to Delray in
__ 1931, after having visited there in the 1920's. Fox, in coming to
Delray, joined a number of well known artists and writers who --
by making Delray their home -- created an artists and writers
colony. These people included the cartoonist Herb Roth (whose
cartoons reflected_life in Delray) , Wood Cowan, writers Hugh McNair
Kahler, Clarence Buddington Kelland, Nina Wilcox Putnam (whose
articles published in Good Housekeeping magazine were illustrated
by another Delray resident Anita Brown) and poet Edna St. Vincent
Millay.
Fox made his studio on the second floor of the Arcade Tap
Room, the hub of winter activity in the town of Delray. He
ultimately built two homes on North Ocean Boulevard. He was an
accomplished golfer and the author of several
which was nd b ared islones,
including a series which ran in many papers
narrow escape in 1939 from war-torn Europe. During the war he was
a member of the Division of Pictorial Publicity.
In 1951, Fontaine Fox sold the house at 610 North Ocean
Boulevard to Alfred and Anne C. Hart. (Alfred died in 1958, and
Anne C. Hart ultimately became Anne Hart Mott of the Mott
Applesauce family.) Fox formally retired in 1954 and died at his
home in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1964. The Delray Beach
Historical Society recently honored him at an exhibit shown at the
"Cason Cottage" Museum.
The Architect: John Volk
•
In the late 1930's, Fontaine Fox, having had a long-term
friendship with John Volk, commissioned him to design the house at
610 North Ocean Boulevard. Volk was also the architect of Fox's
home just north elarea - several
includingheOceanlocated
Boulevards
immediate Delray/Gulfstream
y/Gulfstream
Seabreeze, and Palm Trail.
Born in 1901 in Austria, Volk came to the United States when
he was nine years old. He was a student at Columbia University
School of Architecture as well as the world renowned Ecole des
Beaux Arts in Paris. Volk continued to design homes until his
death in 1984.
John Volk arrived in Palm Beach in 1925 while Addison Mizner
was building Spanish and Mediterranean style mansions for wealthy
2
A prolific architect, he designed over; 1,..000 _houses,
families. d -
theatres, and buildings people commissioned him to design their
most powerful and wealthy people
homes, including William Paley, George Vanderbilt, Henry Ford II;,
Herbert Pulitzer, Horace Dodge II, and John Phipps.
Volk has often been called the last
of the Maurice Fatiol Palm and Marion
Beach
architects which included Addison Mizner,
Sims Wyeth. In 1926, he formed a partnership with Gustav Maas
which lasted almost ten years.
Volk's homes, which number several hundred scattered along the
coast, covered a broad range of designs from Spanish and Italian
motifs to Normandy, Bermuda, Regent, Classical Oriental, bungalow,
and what he called British Colonial. Known to have "broken the
excesses�� of the Mediterranean style after the Depression, Volk
began designing British Colonial houses that could be built for
forty-five cents a square foot versus two dollars per square foot
for the Spanish mansions. He related in an article in
Architectural Digest in 1972, "when the market crashed and the
Depression followed, there wasn't a client in sight who wanted to
build the elaborate Spanish house.a show of theire was money. okIt wasoduring
se who
weren't, didn't want to make
this period that the houses along North Ocean Boulevard were
designed.
Volk designed some of the most prominent buildings in the
area, including the First National Bank building in Palm Beach, the
Royal Poinciana Plaza and Playhouse (which opened in 1950, becoming
the first new professional theatre to be built in the United States
since the Ethel Barrymore and the Adeiphi Theatres opened their
doors in 1928) , the galleries and theatre for the Society of the
Four Arts, part of the Town Hall of Palm Beach, the Beach Club,
Phipps Oenza, and Good Samaritan Hospital. In later years, he
designed Paradise Island and was involved in early development of
planned golf course communities such as Port Royale in Naples and
Old Port Cove in North Palm Beach.
During the Mott family' s ownership, the southerly portions of
the land seaward of State Road A-1-A were conveyed to the City of
Delray Beach in support of a beach stabilization and renourishment
program. Recently the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach
voted to convey ten feet along the southerly border of the Subject
Property east of State Road A back to the owner's proposal ntoproper plat to
owner as a part of the property
buildable lot on the east side of State Road A-1-A.

a condition of development east -of State 1' ad A-i-A.
C. The Subject Property is unique' in regard to=a confluence= =-
of circumstances that render it poterLtially unbuildableunder
the current provisions of the R-1-A1District:
D. The construction of a single family dwelling on the land
east of State Road A-1-A is consistent with the goals and
purposes of the City of Delray Zoning Beach Code.
E. There is no other lot in the same zoning district that
suffers from the same confluence of circumstances and the
conditions and circumstances are peculiar to the Subject
Property.
These unique circumstances include: -
a) the property being the southernmost of a long series of
oceanfront lots which are improved with residences,
b) the granting of an easement for public beach use over a
substantial portion of the lot in support of a public program
of beach stabilization and renourishment, and
c) the establishment of an erosion control line divesting the
owner of technical title to a substantial amount of. land area
between the mean high tide line and the erosion control line
to which the property owner retains riparian rights.
F. Absent the conditional zoning regulations, the property
owner will be deprived of the rights enjoyed by other
properties in the same zoning district.
G. The special conditions appurtenant to the Subject Property-
are the result of public initiatives in regard to beach
access, use and renourishment, initiatives that the owners of
the subject property have supported and contributed to by
granting of beach access and use rights of way and acquiescing
in the establishment of the erosion control line as a part of
a renourishment program. -

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD :
The item before the Board is consideration of the following
aspects of the site plan as they pertain to property located at
401 N.E. 2nd Avenue (Robert Turner's Building) :
* a minor site plan modification
* landscape plan
* COA 8-#190
* HPB Variance # 88-27
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of N.E.
4th Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue.
BACKGROUND :
The subject property encompasses Lots 3 and 4, Block 7, Del-Ida
Park subdivision. This property has an extensive history as far
back as 1925. The existing 8 unit apartment building is a
Mediterranean Revival style structure which was constructed in
1925. The existing garage/apartment structure is also
Mediterranean Revival and was constructed in 1935. The most
recent land use activity on the property is explained in the
following paragraphs.
During a weekend in May of 1991, the current property owner, Bob
Turner, removed a fairly large landscape area at the southwest
corner of the property, installed shell rock both on the
property and in the N.E. 2nd Avenue right-of-way and installed a
6 ' chain link fence along 2nd Avenue and 4th Street. The above
changes were made without obtaining a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA) or a building permit. The following
Monday, Mr. Turner submitted a building permit application to
the City' s Community Improvement Department to get approval to
allow the work that was completed over the previous weekend. At
that time the applicant was made aware that the changes to the
site constituted a site plan modification.
On July 17th a request for a site plan modification was
received. At that time, a determination was made that the
changes constituted a minor site plan modification, which
required submittal of an application for site plan approval, an
application for a COA and a $500 application fee. A letter was
transmitted to the applicant explaining the same. Processing of
the request would proceed once the requested information was
received.
On August 16th, the Code Enforcement Division issued a Violation
Notice for a number of items including the work that was
completed without a permit.
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner' s Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 2
On April 15, 1992, an application for a minor site plan
modification was received. The request included:
* Redesign of an 8 space paved parking lot with associated
landscaping.
* Installation of a 3' high picket fence along N.E. 4th
Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue and upgrading the landscaping on
the site.
* Relocating the driveway from N.E. 4th Avenue to N.E. 2nd
Avenue.
* Relocating an existing underground natural gas tank from
the proposed parking area to the rear yard.
At its meeting of June 3, 1992, the Historic Preservation Board
approved the minor site plan modification. These improvements
have not been installed.
On July 7, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Department received
applications for a major site plan modification and a COA from
the Historic Preservation Board. The applicant has also
requested variances from the following LDR sections:
* Section 4 .6 . 9 (D) (4) (d) Standard Aisle Width
* Section 4 .6 .9 (D) (3) (b) Minimum Width at Street
Intersection
* Section 4 . 6 .9 (D) (8) (a) Parking Surface
A waiver of Section 4 .6 . 16(H) (3) (f) Perimeter Landscaping, has
also been requested from the City Commission.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION :
The development proposal incorporates the following:
* Redesign of the parking lot to accommodate 18 parking
spaces
* Relocation of the entrance from NE 4th Street to NE 2nd
Avenue
* Addition of curbing around the perimeter of the parking
lot
* Addition of a 3" masonry wall along the south and west
property lines
* Modifications to landscaping, including a reduction of
the previously approved landscape buffers
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner's Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 3
* Relocation of the existing underground gas tank from the
parking lot to the rear yard
* Relocation of an existing fire hydrant to accommodate the
new position of the entrance to the parking lot from 2nd
Avenue
* Conversion of existing garage doors facing 4th St. to
doors and windows with awnings
These improvements are to be conducted to provide adequate
parking for the existing multiple-family use, as well as
additional parking for potential conversion of the existing
structures to office use, as allowed under RO zoning.
SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLAN ANALYSIS:
REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3)
Pursuant to Section 3. 1. 1 (Required Findings) , prior to the
approval of development applications, certain findings must
be made in a form which is part of the official record.
This may be achieved through information on the
application, the Staff Report, or Minutes . Findings shall
be made by the body which has the authority to approve or
deny the development application. These findings relate to
the Future Land Use Map Compatibility; Concurrency;
Comprehensive Plan Consistency; and, Compliance with Local
Development Regulations (LDRs) .
1. Future Land Use Map: (The use or structures must be allowed
in the zone district and the zoning district must be consistent
with the land use designation) .
The subject property has a Land Use Plan designation of
Transitional and a RO (Residential Office) zoning designation.
Pursuant to Section 4 .4 . 17(B) , multiple family structures are
not an allowed use within the RO zone district.
However, the existing multiple family use was established when
the site was developed and is recognized as a nonconforming use.
Pursuant to Section 1.3.5 (Nonconforming Uses of Structures and
Land) , where lawful use of a structure and land existed on
September 1, 1990, that would not now be allowed, the use of a
structure and land may be continued subject to the following
provisions:
(A) The nonconforming use may be extended internally throughout
any part of the structure, provided the use is not extended
to occupy any land outside the existing structure.
(B) When a nonconforming use is discontinued or abandoned for a
continuous period of 180 days, every subsequent use shall
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner's Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 4
be in conformity with the requirements for the zoning
district in which it is located.
(C) Should the structure involving a nonconforming use be
destroyed by any means to an extent exceeding 50% of its
replacement cost, such structure shall not be reconstructed
except in conformance with both the development and use
requirements for the zoning district in which it is
located.
With the proposed modification, there will be no increase in the
nonconforming residential use area, or number of units. The use
has not been discontinued or abandoned, and proposed repairs to
the structure do not exceed 50% of the replacement value.
A conversion of four garage spaces to 497 square feet of office
space is included in this proposal. Office uses are permitted
under RO zoning. Therefore the conversion does not constitute
an expansion of the non-conforming use.
Based upon the above, a positive finding with respect to the
future land use map can be made.
2. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through,
the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall
be provided pursuant to levels of service as established within
the Comprehensive Plan. For sewer and water, concurrency shall
mean that direct connection to a functioning municipal system is
made. For streets(traffic) , drainage, open space (parks) , and
solid waste concurrency shall be determined by the following:
* the improvement is in place prior to issuance of the
occupancy permit;
* the improvement is bonded, as part of the subdivision
improvements agreement or similar instrument, and there is
a schedule of completion in the bonding agreement;
* the improvement is part of a governmental capital
improvement budget; it has been designed; and a contract
for installation has been solicited.
Traffic:
This proposal includes the conversion of existing garages to
office use. The City Traffic Engineer has determined that the
number of daily trips that will be generated by the offices will
be approximately 14 . Adequate capacity is available on 2nd
Avenue and 4th Street to accommodate new traffic from this
proposal .
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner' s Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 5
Water:
Water service is currently provided by a 6" main in NE 2nd
Avenue. Fire suppression is available from an existing fire
hydrant at the corner of NE 4th Street and NE 2nd Avenue. In
order to accommodate the driveway on 2nd Avenue, the hydrant
will be relocated to the south of the new driveway. No main
extensions will be necessary to serve this development proposal.
Sewer:
Sewer service is currently provided by an 8" main in NE 2nd
Avenue. No main extensions or upgrading will be necessary to
serve this development proposal.
Parks:
No new dwelling units are created by this proposal. Therefore,
no additional demand for parks will be created by this
development.
Solid Waste:
Trash generation by the addition of 497 square feet of office
space is not significant with respect to level of service
standards .
Consistency:
Pursuant to Section 3 .3. 1 (Basis for Determining Consistency) ,
the performance standards set forth in Section 3 .3 .3 (Standards
for Site Plan Actions) along with compliance to Section
2 .4 .5(F) (5) (General Compatibility and Harmony with Adjacent
Properties) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall
consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found
in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in making of a
finding of overall consistency. The applicable performance
standards of Section 3.3.3 and other policies which apply are as
follows:
Standards for Site Plan Action
A) Building design, landscaping, and lighting shall be such
that they do not create unwarranted distractions or blockage of
visibility as it pertains to traffic circulation. (Traffic
Element C-1.2)
There are no building additions associated with the
development proposal. The proposed landscaping will not
affect visibility as it pertains to traffic circulation.
The conversion of the four garages to office space and the
relocation of the driveway to 2nd Avenue will eliminate
five access points to 4th Street which currently have very
poor visibility. No additional lighting is proposed.
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner's Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 6
B) Appropriate separation of traveiways is made for vehicles,
bicycles and pedestrians in a manner consistent with Objective
D-1 of the Traffic Element.
Pedestrian access to the existing apartment building is
provided from the parking lot only via an existing sidewalk
along 2nd Avenue. Access to the future offices will be
constructed in conjunction with improvements to NE 4th
Street in fiscal year 92-93.
C) Open Space Enhancements
This standard does not apply in that it deals with
retaining existing vistas.
D) That any street widening associated with the development
shall not be detrimental upon desired character and cohesiveness
of affected residential areas. (Housing Element A-6 . 1)
There is no street widening associated with this
development. The standard does not apply.
E) Development of vacant land consistent with adjacent
development
This standard does not apply in that the subject property
is already developed.
F) Appropriateness of future use and intensity of the
development of vacant property
This standard does not apply in that the subject property
is already developed.
G) Demographic Mixture re Adult Communities
This standard does not apply.
H) Compatibility and harmony with nearby properties.
Although the conversion of garages to office space is
permitted under RO zoning, the conversion represents an
intensification of a site which currently has a residential
density which equals to 31 units per acre. Further
intensification of this site may not be appropriate.
Section 4 .4 . 17(H) ( 1) requires that all buildings and
structures in RO zoning districts shall appear to be
residential in character and compatible with surrounding
area. The conversion of the garages would create
storefront offices with a zero setback to NE 4th street and
to the adjacent property to the east. This conversion
would be neither residential in character nor compatible
with the area.
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner's Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 7
This development proposal may negatively impact the adjacent
residential properties.
Compliance with Land Development Regulations:
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall
specifically be addressed by the body taking final action
on a land development application/request.
Parking:
There are 9 one bedroom apartments and 12 parking spaces (8
garage, 4 parking lot) existing on-site. Pursuant to Section
4 .6 .9(C) (2) (c) , a one bedroom dwelling unit requires 1.5 spaces
per unit plus .5 spaces per unit for guest parking. Thus, 18
parking spaces are required per current codes . The existing
parking lot is nonconforming with respect to the number of
spaces required and to parking lot design standards.
The current proposal would eliminate 4 garage spaces and create
a demand for 2 additional spaces to serve the new office space.
Per LDR Section 4 .6.9(B) , parking spaces need to be provided for
any new use area and to replace any spaces which are eliminated.
This would require the addition of 6 spaces to this site. Six
(6) spaces would be added to the existing 12 with this proposal.
Some of the parking spaces within the garage are being utilized
for storage. On August 16, 1992, a Violation Notice was issued
which stated that the required parking spaces are to be
accessible at all times. Thus, the items being stored with the
garages must be removed so the spaces can be utilized for
parking purposes.
The applicant has submitted a Grading, Paving and Drainage Plan
prepared by a Registered Engineer.
Variances :
With this development proposal, there is a request for variances
(No. 88-27) to several LDR sections referring to parking lot
design standards.
* Section 4 .6 .9(D) (4) (d) Standard Aisle Width
* Section 4 .6 .9(D) (3) (b) Minimum Width at Street
Intersection
* Section 4 . 6 .9(D) (8) (a) Parking Surface
An analysis of the requested variances is presented on the
following page.
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner' s Building

Open Space:
Pursuant to Section 4 .3 .4(K) , 25% of non-vehicular open space is
required and 25. 8% has been provided.
Landscaping:
Per Section 4.6 . 16(H) (3) (a) , a minimum 5' landscape buffer must
be provided between vehicular use areas of multi-family
residential sites and adjacent properties. A 2 ' buffer is
provided between the parking lot and the property to the east of
the site. The applicant has requested a waiver of Section
4 .4 . 16 (H) (3) (a) .
All other landscaping requirements have been satisfactorily
fulfilled.
Variance Analysis:
With this development proposal, there is a request for variances
(No. 88-27) to several LDR sections referring to parking lot
design standards.
* Section 4 . 6 .9(D) (4) (d) Standard Aisle Width
A 24 ' minimum aisle width is required by code. The
proposed aisle widths are 22 ' for the east-west aisle and
18 ' for the north-south aisle.
Basis for the Variance: The agent's letter of request states
the following two reasons for granting this variance:
1. The variance is necessary in order to provide adequate
parking per LDR requirements for the existing residential
units.
2 . The proposed variance is necessary to provide adequate
parking for future conversion of the site to office use.
Staff responses to each of the above stated bases for this
variance follow:
1. The current parking lot is an existing nonconforming
situation. The owner is not required by any LDR section to
increase available parking for the existing uses.
2 . Conversion of the site to office use is a self-imposed
condition. Section 2 .4 .7(A) (5) (c) states that special
conditions required for approval of a variance must not
have resulted from the actions of the applicant.
The Traffic Engineer indicates that the 18 ' aisle width proposed
would create an unsafe situation with respect to access and
egress from the four spaces north of the garage. Therefore the
HPB Staff Report
Robert Turner' s Building
Major Site Plan Modification
Page 9
requested variance would be detrimental to public welfare
[Section 2 .4 .7 (A) (5) ] and safety [4.5. 1(J) ] .
Further, Section 4 .5. 1(J) ( 1) (c) requires that the Board make a
finding that the "Literal interpretation 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 of the historic
district or historic site. " The requested variance and the
justifications for it refer only to parking considerations,
rather than preservation of historic character.
* Section 4 .6 .9 (D) (3) (b) Minimum Width at Street
Intersection
A 20 ' width is proposed. 24 ' is the required standard.
However, Section 4 .6 .9 (D) (3) (b) also provides for a
reduction of the width to 20' if ADT for the lot is less
than 200 . The traffic engineer has determined the ADT for
this lot to be 77 . Therefore a variance is not necessary
for this Section.
* Section 4 .6 .9(D) (8) (a) Parking Surface
A pea gravel surface is proposed, rather than a paved
surface, as required by code.
Basis for the Variance: The agent's letter of request states
the following three reasons for granting this variance:
1. A pea gravel surface is permitted for parking lots with
less than 12 spaces . Although the proposed lot has a total
of 18 spaces, only 11 are to be provided in pea gravel.
2. Paving the lot with asphalt would have a detrimental
effect on the historic character of the site.
3. A deep swale along the south property line to
accommodate drainage from a paved lot, further damaging the
site's historic character.
Staff is in support of this variance, subject to the conditions
stated in the Recommended Action section of this report.
A variance to Section 4 .6 .9(D) (3) (c) will also be required for
this site. This variance will be considered at a future
meeting.
OTHER I T E M S :
A 3 ' high masonry wall is proposed along N.E. 4th Street and
N.E. 2nd Avenue. A masonry wall of this type is consistent with
the Design Guidelines for the Mediterranean Revival Style,

violations related to this property, is being provided pursuant
to direction given to the Planning and Zoning Department by the
City Commission. These violations may be considered by the
Board in its review of this development proposal, however, the
Board is not compelled to base any of its decisions on this
information.
A Violation Notice was issued on August 15, 1991. The Notice
outlined a number of code violations. As of June 24, 1992 the
following violations are currently outstanding:
1. Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 . 1.3(A) ( 103. 1. 1) & ( 103.8.6) which requires obtaining
permits and inspections including approval from historic
board for fence and parking lot prior to making
improvements.
2 . Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 . 1 .3(A) ( 1106 . 1.2) , which requires interior exit stairs
shall be protected with ( 1) hour protection construction.
3. Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section 7.4 . 1(302) ,
which requires sanitary facilities shall be in good working
condition.
4 . Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(302.4) , which requires water, heating facilities
shall be in good working condition.
5. Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(302 .7) , which requires garbage disposal containers to
be provided.
6 . Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(302 .9) , which requires every dwelling unit shall have
an approved smoke detector.
7 . Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section 7 .4 . 1(304) ,
which requires electrical system to be in accordance with
the National Electric Code.
8. Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(305.5) , which requires stairs, porches and
appurtenances shall be safe to use and in sound condition.
9 . Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 . 4 . 1(305.7) which requires every window shall be weather
tight and in sound working condition.
10. Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(305. 13) which requires screens on all exterior
openable windows and doors when unit does not have a
central A/C system.

11. Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(305 . 16) which requires interior floors, walls and
ceilings shall be in sound condition.
12 . Land Development Regulations Chapter 7; Section
7 .4 . 1(307 .3) which requires garbage containers to be
properly utilized and to contain all rubbish generated on
the property.
Items 1 and 5 were addressed in a previous site plan
modification approval. Site plan approval has been granted, but
the applicant has not yet obtained building permits from the
Community Improvement Department corresponding with the approved
site plan. The permit application has not been submitted as of
August 25, 1992.
The remaining violations were to be corrected by June 24, 1992 .
Pursuant to the Code Enforcement Board Order, the violations had
not been corrected by June 14th, a $25 per diem shall be
reinstated until final compliance is achieved. In addition, any
accrued but unassessed fine shall be presented to the Code
Enforcement Board to record as a lien against the property.
There shall be a presumption of noncompliance unless the
violator notifies the Code Enforcement Division of compliance on
a timely basis. Therefore, once the violations are corrected,
the property owner should contact the Code Enforcement Division.
REV I E W BY O T H E R S :
Community Redevelopment Agency
The subject property is located within the City' s Community
Redevelopment Area, thus requiring review of the development
proposal by the C.R.A. The C.R.A. meeting of August 20, 1992,
at which the proposal was scheduled for discussion was canceled.
The Agency has rescheduled its review of the site for its
September 3, 1992 meeting.
Homeowner's Associations
Special notice was provided to the Del-Ida Park and Dell Park
Homeowner' s Associations . Letters of objection, if any, will be
presented at the Historic Preservation Board meeting.
ASSESSMENT :
The existing multiple family structure is a legal nonconforming
use, in that it was established and has been operating prior to
September 1, 1990. Addition of office space to the site would
not expand the nonconformity per se.
HPB Staff Report

However, the addition of office uses and additional parking
spaces would increase the intensity of use for an already very
intense site. This increase in intensity is very likely to have
a negative impact on the surrounding area.
The addition of offices also conflicts with the requirements of
the zoning district. While office uses are permitted in the RO
zoning district, the proposed storefront type offices do not
appear to be residential in nature, as required in the RO
district. This conflict would also have a negative effect on
nearby properties.
The parking area is nonconforming with respect to the number of
parking spaces provided (12) and design. The development
proposal will provide a 4 additional spaces to meet current
codes. However, the adding these spaces would require 4
variances and waivers to design requirements, as well as a
reduction of landscaping and open space for an already intense
site.
ALTERNATIVE ACT I O N S :

EXHIBIT TO ROBERT TURNER'S BUILDING SITE PLAN STAFF REPORT
BASIS FOR VARIANCES
Pursuant to Section 2.4 .7(A) (5) , the Historic Preservation Board
must make the following findings prior to granting a variance:
(A) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are
peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and
which are not generally applicable to other lands,
structures, or buildings subject to the same zoning (The
matter of economic hardship shall not constitute a basis
for the granting of a variance) ;
(B) That literal interpretation of the regulations would
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties subject to the same zoning;
(C) That the special conditions and circumstances have not
resulted from actions of the applicant;
(D) That granting the variance will not confer into the
applicant any special privilege that is denied to other
lands, structures, and buildings under the same zoning.
Neither the permitted, nor nonconforming use, of
neighborhood lands, structures, or buildings under the same
zoning shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a
variance;
(E) That the reasons set forth in the variance petition justify
the granting of the variance, and that the variance is the
minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use
of the land, building, or structure; and,
(F) That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with
general purpose and intent of existing regulations, will
not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
Pursuant to Section 4.5. 1(J) , in addition to the above criteria,
in acting on variance requests the Board shall also be guided by
the following:
(A) A variance would not be contrary to the public interest,
safety or welfare.
(B) Special conditions and circumstances exist, because of the
historic setting, location, nature, or character of the
land, structure, appurtenance, sign, or building involved,
which are not applicable to other lands, structures,
appurtenances, signs, or buildings in the same zoning
district, which have not been designated as historic sites
or a historic district nor listed on the Local Register of
Historic Places.

(C) Literal interpretation of the provisions of 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, of the historic district or historic site.
(D) The variance requested is the minimum necessary to maintain
the preservation of the historic character of a historic
site or of a historic district.

Mr. Jeff Costello 17,E
Planning Division
100 N.W. 1st. Avenue t%
City of Delray Beach, FL
Re: 401 N.E. 2nd Avenue ,=L -
Dear Jeff,
This letter is intended to satisfy the written statement requirement of the attatched
applications.
On June 3, 1992 at the regular meeting of the Historic Preservation Board of the City of
Delray Beach, the Board approved an improvement plan for the existing apartment
building located at 401 N.E. 2nd Avenue (item COA 8-180). The plan met all City
codes and Land Development Regulations, except for number of parking spaces
required, and yet did not adequately address the problems associated with the site.
Attatched to this letter are all applicable requirements for the resubmission of a revised
improvement plan that address the issues of insufficient parking and drainage. The
applicant is formally requesting variances from LDR Sections 4.6.9 (D)(4)(d), Standard
Aisle Width; Sec. 4.6.9 (D)(3)(b), Minimum Width at Street System Access; Sec. 4.6.9
(D)(8)(a), Parking Surface; and a waiver from Sec. 4.6.16 (H)(3)(f) Perimeter
Landscape Requirements. These variances are addressed below.
The existing site has insufficient parking for the current use (Multi-Family Rental
Apartments). Code requires 18 spaces for this use. Although the approved plan
technically contained 16 spaces, only 12 of these were usable. Three spaces opened
onto 4th street, a hazardous situation, and one to two spaces were blocked by the
required landscape island in the parking area. If the applicant were to build the plan as
approved, the result would not have provided enough parking for the residents and
cars would still be parking on the N.E. 2nd Aveue Right-of-Way. This is an undesirable
and unsightly situation for both the owner and the City.
Secondly, neither the existing parking nor the approved plan address the needs for
any potential future change in building use. Potentially, the buildings could be
combined office/residential use. The parking requirements for this use would be
between 16 and 22 spaces [Section 4.4.17 (G)(2)J based on 6285 gross square feet of
potential leasable space. Since it is impossible to achieve the required parking

and Land Planning
132 North Swinton Avenue
Delray Beach, FL 33444
(407)276-5050
Fax: 276-8777
-2-
through the literal interpretation of the regulations, the applicant is deprived of the right
to lease the building as an office space, a common use practiced by other properties
within the same zoning district. [Sec. 2.4.7 (A) (5) (b)]
The proposed plan requires variances from the code sections referenced in the first
paragraph of this letter. The plan provides parking for 18 cars; 4 garage, 12 on a 1/4/"
pea gravel surface and 2 on the concrete apron at the accessway. Eight stalls within
the main area have a backup space of 22'. The two stalls located on the concrete
apron have 20' of back up space. This is sufficient for most cars. The 4 garage spaces
would also open onto this area.
A smaller parking area located on the east side of the building contains two compact
spaces and two full size spaces. Cars using the two full size spaces can back-up
40'-50' and turn into the aisle. While this condition is inconvenient it is certainly
workable. These spaces are similar to the proprietor spaces used in Banker's Row. A
similar situation also exists at our office located at 132 N. Swinton Avenue and our
employees do not find it to be a problem. The 2 compact spaces have 18 feet of back-
up space. This is tight but it will work for most compact cars. Field measurements taken
by this office show that a Honda Civic requires 18' of back up space to manoever. The
waiver mentioned above involves these two compact spaces. The adjacent perimeter
landscape would need to be reduced to 2' for a distance of 16'. The landscape plan
shows the approximate location of the building on the adjacent property. There is still
ample room for the hedge and one tree that will be in this space.
The proposed plan shows a 20' wide accessway onto N.E. 2nd Ave. It is debatable as
to whether this should be considered a variance since the code sets precedent for 20'
accessways on private driveways with less than 200 ADT. This site certainly has less
than 200 ADT. A 22' wide accessway could be provided but would require a variance
from Sec. 6.1.4 (B)(3)(b), driveway location within 25' of right-of-way extension at an
intersection. The plan proposes the safer of these two alternatives. The proposed
accessway would certainly be an improvment over the existing accessway onto N.E.
4th Street.
Thirdly, a variance is requested relating to the parking area surface. Gravel surfaces
are allowed when the parking area is 12 spaces or less. The proposed plan contains
18 spaces however only 12 of these are located on gravel. The approved plan showed
an asphalt parking surface draining into a swale located along the south property line.
The swale would need to be deeper than was originally shown in order to adequately
handle all run-off. A deep swale would be aesthetically unpleasant and would
detrimentally affect the historic character of the building. Furthermore, the asphalt
surface of the approved plan would also be to the detriment of the historic character of
the building. A major purpose of the Historic Board is to maintain the unique qualities
of the historic neighborhoods of Delray Beach. One way this is done is by encouraging
alternative surfaces for parking areas.
Attatched to this application are photos showing the conditions on site during a heavy
rain storm. Photo A shows water flowing from off of NE 2nd Avenue onto the site, and
then draining into the gravel surface. Photo B shows the water flowing from the
-3-
existing accessway (asphalt) onto NE 4th Street. Photo C shows a view west from the
garage across the parking area. Clearly, the gravel area is draining better than the
asphalt area. The applicant proposes to construct a 1/4" gravel surface parking area
using a compacted shellrock base. This would be a pervious surface parking area
therby eliminating the need for large swale areas. Any water that does not drain into
the sub-surface would be contained on site as shown on the paving and drainage
plan. The use of gravel would certainly be more in keeping with the historic character
of the site.
Finally, I would like to briefly describe the other proposed modifications to the site.
Except for the waiver listed above, there are no variences required for the landscape
improvements depicted on the plan. The proposed plan still contains the 25%
minimum landscape requirement. We feel that the proposed changes will actually
screen the parking area better than the approved plan. The large sea grape currently
on the east side of the building will be relocated to the southwest corner of the site into
a larger landscape area than was on the approved plan. A 3' height wall will be
constructed in lieu of the 3' picket fence. This wall will completely screen the parking
from public view. Additionally, the applicant is seking approval to modify the south
elevation of the garage building. Existing garage doors would be replaced with doors ,
windows and awnings as depicted in the perspective sketch. More detailed drawings
will be submitted at the time of permit.
In conclusion, we feel that a hardship is caused by the space limitations of the existing
conditions on site which prevent the applicant from providing adequate parking
facilities for the current and future residents of the building. The applicant will not gain
any special privilege that is normally denied within similar zoning. Granting the
variences will dramatically improve the appearance of the area and still be in harmony
with the historic character. The public welfare will be improved be providing parking for
the residents off of public right-of-way. On site drainage capacity will be improved by
using the pervious surface and through proper grading. Feel free to call me at our
office to discuss or if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
ir) ,/"/

Since the attached staff report dated August 26, 1992 was
written, the CRA has had an opportunity to review Robert
Turner's project at 401 N.E. 2nd Avenue.
The following is quoted from their memo dated September 4,
1992 :
ROBERT TURNER BUILDING
The Board felt that the site would be aesthetically
degraded with approval of the latest plan modification.
Additional concerns regarding the cumbersome parking
arrangement were also expressed as was a question of future
right-of-way requirements for NE 4th Street. The Board
recommends denial of the site plan modification.
MEMORANDUM
TO: HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
FROM: PAT CAYCE
DATE: AUGUST 26, 1992
5-
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM .a`, COA 8-190, HPB MEETING SEPTEMBER 2,
1992
BACKGROUND
The property is located at the northeast corner of N.E. 2nd
Avenue and N.E. 4th Street, in the Del-Ida Park Historic
District; the street address is 401 N.E. 2nd Avenue. The 8
unit apartment building was built in 1925 in the Mission
Revival style of architecture. The garage with an apartment
on the second floor, was constructed in 1936 . These are both
contributing buildings and are located at the entrance to
the Del-Ida Park historic district.
In May, 1991, the current owner, Ronald Turner, removed a
large landscape area at the southwest corner of the
property and installed shell rock both on the property and in
the N.E. 2nd Avenue right-of-way. A 6 ' high chain link
fence was installed along N.E. 2nd Avenue and N.E. 4th
Street. These changes were made without a COA or appropriate
building permits. The Code Enforcement Division issued
violation notices for work completed without permits and
COA.
On June 3, 1992, the HPB unanimously approved an
application for a minor site plan modification which
consisted of the following:
Construction of an 8-space paved parking lot with
associated landscaping.
Installation of a 3' high picket fence along N.E. 4th
street and N.E. 2nd Avenue and upgrading the
landscaping on the site.
Relocating the driveway from N.E. 4th Street to N.E.
2nd Avenue.
Relocating an existing underground natural gas tank
from the proposed parking area to the rear yard.
Turner COA 8-190

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
On June 25, 1992, the owner submitted a site plan and COA
application to modify the previously approved site plan as
follows:
Site Plan
1. The conversion of 4 garage spaces into office
space.
2 . Increase in the size of the parking lot from 8
spaces to 14.
3. Reduction and redesign of the approved landscape
area.
4 . Installation of a 3 ' masonry wall along N.E. 4th
Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue.
COA
1 . Modification to the garages facing N.E. 4th Street.
a. Replace garage doors with doors and windows.
b. Install a canopy awning over windows and doors.
ANALYSIS OF THE SITE PLAN
Compliance with the Land Development Regulations
Use:
The property is located in the Residential/Office zone
district, therefore, the conversion from garage to office
space is permitted.
Parking:
There are 9 one-bedroom apartments on the property.
Pursuant to Section 4 .6 .9(C) (2) (c) , a one-bedroom dwelling
unit requires 1.5 spaces plus .5 spaces for guest parking.
Thus 18 spaces are required by code for the existing
apartments. The conversion from garages to office creates an
additional 497 square feet of usable space requiring 2
parking spaces to be provided, for a total of 20 spaces.
Turner COA-8-190
Page 3
In the previously approved site plan 8 parking spaces were
provided in the garages and 8 spaces in the lot.
The proposed plan increases the parking lot to 14 spaces;
the section of the garage, which faces west (into the
parking lot) , provides 4 spaces; for a total of 18 spaces.
The proposed site plan will require variances.
The proposed plan will require a waiver by the City
Commission from Section 4 .6. 16(H) (3) (f) , Perimeter
Landscaping. The request is related to a 16 ' section on the
east property line where there are 2 compact parking spaces.
The code requires a 5 ' landscape strip between the parking
spaces and the property line; only 2 ' are provided.
Reduction of the landscape barrier will effect the dwelling
units to the east, which are adjacent to this section of the
property line.
ANALYSIS OF THE COA
The applicant's request specifies the size of the windows
and doors for the office conversion but does not specify the
materials. Windows are to be double hung, 6 over 6; 36" X
60" . Doors are 36"x 80" . The canopy awning is to be aqua
vinyl. The upper floor aluminum shutters will remain as
existing.
The Design Guidelines state that wood windows to match the
upper floor are appropriate. Modern flush doors, as
indicated on the plan are inappropriate.
The rendering submitted with the COA, which will be
available at the meeting, does not accurately reflect the
COA application. The rendering indicates that all of the
aluminum awning shutters will be removed and be replaced
with appropriate awnings, this is not requested in the COA
application. It depicts a canopy at the front entrance to
the apartment building on N.E. 2nd Avenue which is not
requested in the COA. The portion of the garage on N.E. 4th
Street which is proposed for offices is shown with awnings on
the upper floor windows, the letter detailing the
modification to that facade states that the existing aluminum
awnings will remain in place.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
Community Redevelopment Agency
The property is located within the City's Community
Redevelopment Area, thus requiring review of the development
proposal by the C.R.A. Due to the cancellation of its
Turner COA 8-190
Page 4
August 20, 1992 meeting the CRA has not had the opportunity
to review this plan. However, when the CRA reviewed
the previous site plan, the members expressed concern that
the site would be aesthetically degraded with the site plan
modification. They noted that the open space was being
reduced with the additional parking area. With the site
plan modification, they felt it critical that the building
site be adequately landscaped.
Homeowner's Association
Special notice was provided to the Del-Ida Park Homeowner's
Association. Letters of objection, if any, will be
presented at the HPB meeting.
ASSESSMENT
The existing multi-family structure is a legal nonconforming
use. It is located in the R/O zoning district and the
conversion of 4 garage spaces to office use is allowed,
providing the development standards are met. Because the
on-site parking requirements (20 spaces) are physically
impossible to to comply with, if approved, this will remain
a legal nonconforming parking lot.
Section 4 .4 . 17 (H) ( 1) Special Regulations in the R/O
District, states that all buildings and structures shall
appear to be residential in character regardless of the
actual use therein, shall be kept in a sound and attractive
condition, and in established neighborhoods shall be
generally compatible in architectural style and scale with
the surrounding area.
The office facade proposed for N.E. 4th Street is not
residential in character and the scale and size of the
parking lot does not appear residential in nature.
Objective A-4 of the Comprehensive Plan states: The
redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the
preservation of historic resources. This objective shall be
met through continued adherence to the City's Historic
Preservation Ordinance and the following policy: (b4, c8)
b4 Ensure the protection of natural resources and
historic resources.
c8 Identification, designation and protection of
historically significant properties .
Turner COA 8-190
Page 5
Please read the HPB Ordinance 4 .5. 1 (A) General: Excerpted
it reads, Preservation and protection of buildings that
provide significant examples of architectural styles of the
past; that are unique and irreplaceable assets to the City
and its neighborhoods; or that provide this and future
generations with examples of the physical surrounding in
which past generations lived.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
The apartment building was built in 1925 by Frederick Henry
Link, who served as Del-Ida Park's general contractor. Mr.
Link, a former craftsman and builder for Addison Mizner, is
believed to have used roof tiles, decorative wood, lighting
fixtures and other design elements from the Mizner Industry
workshops on Bunker Road in West Palm Beach, in the
construction of the building.
At the time of construction, Del-Ida was a suburb of Delray
and this building, known as The Towers, was the first
suburban apartment to be built in the area. With its
gardens and open porches, it represented a trend toward
attractive and efficient apartment living in a resort
community setting. The Delray News during the 1920 ' s and
' 30 ' s. frequently notes the social events, bridge parties,
garden fetes, and the arrival of winter visitors at The
Towers.
It is a significant example of Mission Revival style
architecture and one of the few remaining in the City which
retains it original character. It, along with other
early buildings in Del-Ida Park, are irreplaceable assets to
the historic district.
The garage building with its spacious apartment above was
built in 1936 by Mr. J.L. Thieme for a total cost of $5,000.
Mr. Thieme is among the City's early builders to whom the
Design Guidelines are dedicated. It is interesting to note,
within a period of 10 years, the need to provide on site
garage space, especially for winter visitors who previously
came to Delray by train.

AGENDA ITEM
HPB MEETING SEPTEMBER 2, 1992
COA 8-187 16 & 32 E. Atlantic Avenue, Polly Noe's
Sidewalk Cafe, Polly Noe, Owner. Old School Square
Historic District.
Approve site plan modification for outdoor cafe.
Approve application to operate a sidewalk cafe.
Approve COA for tables, chairs and umbrellas .
BACKGROUND
On July 27, 1992 Polly Noe presented a COA application and
site plan for a sidewalk cafe. After staff analysis of the
site plan it was found that some modification was necessary
in order to comply with Section 4 .4 . 13(G) ( 1) (a) Parking, and
Section 6 . 3.4 (E) , Sidewalk Cafes, of the Land Development
Regulations.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The proposal consists of two basic components:
(A) establishment of an outdoor cafe on private
property outside of the antique store, and
(B) establishment of a sidewalk cafe in conjunction
with the outdoor cafe, on a public right-of-way.
Four tables will be placed under the awnings on private
property, and 14 tables will be in the right-of-way. A
kitchen will be established at the rear of 16 E. Atlantic
Avenue, and a cooler and service area will be located at the
front of the auction gallery, 32 E. Atlantic Avenue. A
waiter' s station will be provided outside of the buildings.
Most of the food will be made off the premises and prepared
for serving in the kitchen and service areas . The tables,
chairs and umbrellas will be removed at night and stored
indoors.
ANALYSIS
Mrs . Noe' s property is within OSSHAD but is located in Block
69 and is therefore governed by the development standards in
the CBD. Two additional parking spaces will need to be
provided as a result of establishing a restaurant on private
property. Additional on-site parking is not possible. The
applicant has the option to purchase in-lieu parking spaces
for a one time fee of $2,500. However, the CBD parking
standards are being reviewed and a waiver of fee
Polly Noe's Sidewalk Cafe
Page 2
option which would exempt payment for the first two parking
spaces required for site development or use expansion, has
been recommended. It is appropriate at this time to allow
that fee to be waived while the option is being
considered. Mrs. Noe will provide the Planning Department
with a letter which states that if the waiver of fee is not
adopted she will purchase 2 in-lieu parking spaces or close
the restaurant.
The site plan meets the requirements for a sidewalk cafe as
set forth in Section 6 .3.4(E) of the LDRs, regarding
provision of a 5' clear walkway and the placement of the
tables.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
The buildings were built in 1948 and are not contributing to the
historic built inventory of the Old School Square District. No
sidewalk cafe ever existed on the site. However, the following
items relate to the appropriateness of establishing a
sidewalk cafe:
* Element G , Objective C-4 of the Comp Plan states the
CBD represents the essence of what Delray Beach is, "a
village like, community by the sea" . To enhance this
"village" concept, Policy C-4 . 1 recommends facilities
for outdoor cafes.
* Significant social trends in the community's history
should be considered when attempting to preserve a
"village" concept for the Central Business District.
In the pre World War II era before air conditioning,
outdoor dining was part of Delray's social history.
The Arcade Tap Room was an open courtyard, the Colony
Hotel served alfresco lunches at the beach, the
Kentucky House (demolished) served meals in its
garden, and the Patio restaurant (demolished) was an
open air dining room. When screening became available
to home owners, front porches were screened so people
could dine and entertain out of doors .
* The location of the proposed sidewalk cafe, across
Atlantic Avenue from the Old School Square buildings
and gardens, will entice people to visit the cultural
arts center.
* Polly Noe has done an excellent job in helping to
revitalize what was a deteriorating block on Atlantic
Avenue.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve by separate action:
1. Site plan modification for outdoor cafe;
conditioned on the requirement to pay the in-lieu
fee for two parking spaces or remove the
restaurant use, if the amendment to the CBD
parking regulations, as discussed in this report,
is not adopted within one year of this approval.
2 . Application to operate a sidewalk cafe.
The application to be effective after proof of
insurance and a hold harmless agreement have been
found to be acceptable to the City; and if
necessary, a permit to work in the right-of-way is
signed by the Engineering Department.
3 . Approve COA 8-187 for tables, chairs and
umbrellas .
