request for conditional use to allow a density in excess of 30 dwelling units per acre for Ocean
City Lofts, a proposed 1.44 acre mixed-use development containing 63 residential condominium
units and 5,315 square feet of retail uses, located at the southeast corner of N.E. 2nd Street and
N.E. 4th Avenue and on the west side of N.E. 4th Avenue 100 feet south of N.E. 2nd Street.
(Quasi-Judicial Hearing)
Mayor Perlman read into the record the City of Delray Beach procedures for
Quasi-Judicial Hearings.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this
item.
Mayor Perlman asked the Commission to disclose any ex parte contacts. Mrs.
Archer, Mr. Costin, Mayor Perlman, Ms. McCarthy and Mr. Levinson all stated they met with
Mr. Weiner and Mr. Laudini (developer).
Jeff Costello, Principal Planner, entered the Planning and Zoning project 2003-
131 file into the record.
Mr. Costello stated this property is located on the southeast corner of N.E. 2nd
Street and N.E. 4th Avenue and on the west side ofN.E. 4th Avenue 100' south ofN.E. 2nd Street.
The development proposal incorporates Lots 1-5 of Block 99, Re-subdivision of Blocks 91 & 92
and the west lA of Block 99 of the Town of Linton plat (east parcel) and Lots 9-12 of Block 91,
Re-subdivision of Blocks 91 & 92 and the west lA of Block 99, Town of Linton plat (west
parcel). The two properties contain 1.44 acres and are zoned CBD (Central Business District).
The 4-story eastern building will contain three floors with 5,315 square feet of ground floor
commercial area. The buildings are set back 10 feet and the upper floors (2nd through 4th flOOrS)
are set back an additional 10 feet and the same holds true on the west side with this being all
residential with parking on the first level. Mr. Costello stated that positive findings can be made
with respect to concurrency, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, along with policies and
objectives as outlined in the staff report. In addition, Mr. Costello stated that positive findings
can be made with respect to the Future Land Use Map consistency. Mr. Costello stated there is
only one performance standard that has not been met and one does not technically apply.
However, staff feels that the applicant has met the standard (which relates to provision of retail
-6-
04/01/03
or commercial use on the first floor). The performance standard that has not been met relates to
shared parking and provision of the additional public parking spaces. This proposal involves
construction of thirteen on-street spaces and includes four in-lieu parking spaces and stated all
the parking cannot be accommodated on either site and reiterated that four spaces are being
proposed within the public right-of-way.
At its meeting of March 17, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public
hearing regarding the Conditional Use request for the mixed-use building with a density of 44
units per acre. Mr. Costello stated there was public comment both in favor and in opposition.
The Board voted 4-2 to approve the request and one of the Board members had a concern that all
the parking should be provided on-site and another Board member felt that the applicant did not
sufficiently meet the performance standards. However, Mr. Costello stated the Planning and
Zoning Board did approve the request subject to the conditions as outlined on page 18-20 of the
Planning and Zoning Staff Report, which includes Appendix "A".
Michael Weiner, Attorney representing the applicant (City Center Development,
LLC), stated they have received the support of the DDA, CRA, as well as the affirmative vote of
the Planning and Zoning Department. Mr. Weiner gave a brief presentation of the inside
computer renderings and reviewed the eight performance standards. Mr. Weiner stated this is
first class commercial space and 50% of the ground floor area is devoted to commercial space.
For the record, Mr. Weiner stated the applicant meets the requirements of consistency,
concurrency, and compatibility of the Comprehensive Plan. Lastly, Mr. Weiner read into the
record quotations from the Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan.
Mayor Perlman stated if there is anyone who would like to address the
Commission regarding the Conditional Use request, to please come forward at this time.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated if one looks at the map this project will be
visible from Federal Highway and will loom over the existing one-story buildings that are on
Federal Highway. Mrs. Finst stated one neighbor stated they would not be able to see the sun
and noted that these buildings are close to the maximum height and she feels this project will
overpower the area. Mrs. Finst commented about the density and the dwelling units increasing
from 30 dwelling units to 63 dwelling units and feels this is one more step in losing the
downtown corridor.
No one else from the public came forward to address the Commission.
Mrs. Archer stated she feels this is a very attractive project and commented that
Crossroads uses the available parking lot in the area including the lot on the east side of 4th
Avenue. Mrs. Archer stated with Crossroads located in the area there will be a great deal of on-
street parking and she feels new owners need to be aware of this before they purchase.
Mr. Levinson stated he feels this is a great project and commented that
developers are doing what is being asked of them. Mr. Levinson stated the density is being
increased from 30 dwelling units per acre to 44 dwelling units per acre not from 30 to 63 units
per acre. Mr. Levinson stated he thinks this will be a great addition and hopefully the first of
-7-
04/01/03
projects that will meet the objectives of the Downtown Master Plan. Mr. Levinson stated the
CRA and the DDA both support this project and he is encouraged by developers who have met
the intent as well as the design guidelines.
Mr. Costin stated he is very pleased with the development and more importantly
feels the developer has taken a decrepit piece of property downtown and is making a tremendous
improvement. Mr. Costin stated this will be something to be very proud of.
Ms. McCarthy stated she supports this project and feels the developer has
presented a very creative product. Ms. McCarthy continued to state that this is a quality project
and she feels it will attract people to the downtown area who are looking for a more trendy type
of lifestyle.
Mayor Perlman stated he is very pleased with this project and feels the elevations
are extremely attractive. In addition, Mr. Perlman stated he is particularly excited about the price
point and feels it will make downtown living accessible to a whole other group of people who
have not been able to afford the $300,000-$400,000 townhouses that are being built in the area.
Mayor Perlman commended the developer for creativity and taking a risk in what would appear
to be not a prime piece of real estate in Delray. Mr. Perlman stated he feels this will become
prime real estate as a result of the project and will spur a lot of activity in the area.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve the Conditional Use request for Ocean City Lofts
subject to the conditions as recommended by staff, as outlined on page 18-20 of the Planning and
Zoning staff report, which includes Appendix "A", seconded by Ms. McCarthy. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes;
Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Perlman - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.A.1. CONTRACT AWARD: Contract award to Utility Service Company, Inc. in the
total amount of $324,270.18 for the painting and maintenance of the 0.5 Million Gallon Elevated
Water Storage Tank over a period of eleven years. Funding is available from 442-5178-536-
46.90 (Other Repair/Maintenance).
Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services, explained when Tank Pro,
Inc. submitted their proposal they omitted various required submittal dates in the proposal two of
which were very critical to our ability to determine whether or not the contractor was capable of
doing the work. One was an evaluation the condition of the elevated tank and another was a
schedule of the proposed maintenance. Mr. Hasko stated staff considered the Tank Pro, Inc. bid
non-responsive because they did not provide the required submittal materials that was very
important for staff to analyze in determination of the bid. Therefore, Mr. Hasko stated staff's
recommendation is to award the bid to Utility Service Company, Inc.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve the contract award to Utility Service Company,
Inc., for the maintenance of the Water Storage Tank, seconded by Ms. McCarthy. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy -
Yes; Mr. Perlman - Yes; Mr. Costin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, the time being 7:05 p.m. the Commission moved to the duly
advertised Public Hearings portion of the Agenda.

10. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10.A. WAIVER REQUEST/DHARMA HOLDINGS, LTD.: Consider a request
from Dharma Holdings, Ltd. for "The Rectory", located on 14 South Swinton Avenue, to waive
Section 4.6.7(G)(7) of the Land Development Regulations regarding the number of freestanding
signs allowed per lot in Historic Districts. Prior to consideration of passage of this item a public
hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing)
Mayor Perlman read into the record the City of Delray Beach procedures for
Quasi-Judicial Hearings.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this
item.
Mayor Perlman asked the Commission to disclose any ex parte contacts. No ex
parte contacts were disclosed.
Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated this item before the
Commission is a request for a waiver under Section 4.6.7(G)(7) of the LDR's regulating the
number of freestanding signs allowed per lot within the historic district. The request is from
Dharma Holdings Limited for their business "The Rectory" which is located at 14 S. Swinton
Avenue.
At its meeting of February 19, 2003, the Historic Preservation Board considered a
request from "The Rectory", located at 14 S. Swinton Avenue, to approve a second freestanding
sign to be located away from the street frontage on the west side of the parking lot. This sign
would be an addition to the freestanding sign for "Sweet Art by Lucia", a business located in a
separate building at the south end of the parking lot on S. Swinton Avenue. Ms. Butler stated the
Board felt it did not adversely affect the neighborhood, that it would not significantly diminish
the provision of public facilities, nor create an unsafe situation or resulted in granting any special
privilege for this particular property. Staff recommends approval of the proposed sign and its
location as recommended by the Historic Preservation Board.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open. There being no one who
wished to address the Commission regarding the waiver request, the public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Archer asked at what point we would be in favor of a stack sign instead of
individual signs. In response, the City Manager stated usually the directory type signs are where
there is one building that is divided among several businesses. The City Manager stated the
unusual thing with this situation is there are two separate buildings that have never been
connected to each other.
Mr. Costin moved to approve the request from Dharma Holdings, Ltd. to waive
Section 4.6.7(G)(7) of the LDR's regarding the number of freestanding signs allowed per lot in
the Historic District, seconded by Mrs. Archer. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Perlman - Yes; Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs.
-9-
04/01/03
Archer - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
10.B. WAIVER REQUEST/SARAGA & LIPSHY, P.A.: Consider a request from
Saraga & Lipshy, P.A., located on 201 N.E. 1st Avenue, to waive Section 4.6.7(G)(7) of the Land
Development Regulations regarding the number of freestanding signs allowed per lot in Historic
Districts. Prior to consideration of passage of this item a public hearing has been scheduled to be
held at this time. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing)
Mayor Perlman read into the record the City of Delray Beach procedures for
Quasi-Judicial Hearings.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this
item.
Mayor Perlman asked the Commission to disclose any ex parte contacts. No ex
parte contacts were disclosed.
Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated this is stated this item
before the Commission is a request for a waiver under Section 4.6.7(G)(7) of the LDR's
regulating the number of freestanding signs in historic districts. This property is located on the
northeast corner ofN.E. 1st Avenue and N.E. 2nd Street (201 N.E. 1st Avenue).
At its meeting of March 12, 2003, the Historic Preservation Board considered a
request from Saraga & Lipshy, P.A. to approve a second freestanding sign for their business
located. This sign would be an addition to the freestanding sign located on the southwest corner
of the property. LDR Section 4.6.7(G)(7) stipulates that signs for businesses located in the
historic district are limited to not more than one of any type nor more than two per lot. The
Board determined that a second freestanding sign to be located on N.E. 2nd Street will assist
traffic traveling east and west on N.E. 2nd Street to identify the location of the business, and
approved the Certificate of Appropriateness for installation of the sign. Staff recommends
approval of the waiver request to Section 4.6.7(G)(7) based on the finding and recommendation
of the Historic Preservation Board.
Brian Lipshy, owner of Saraga & Lipshy, P.A., stated when they originally came
before the Commission they had requested a flat panel sign. However, the recommendation of
the Historic Preservation Board is for a freestanding sign. Mr. Lipshy stated with the closure of
1st Avenue, if their clients are coming from Federal Highway they are having a difficult time
finding the property.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the
public who wished to address the Commission regarding the waiver request, the public hearing
was closed.
Brief discussion followed between staff and the Commission.

met with them on March 27, 2003, and outlined the permitting process the State of Florida and
the effect the coastal construction line had on placing the tower and in reviewing the location of
the tower, the City took great care to meet our safety service needs and tried to minimize the

back to the Commission requesting some further relief.
Secondly, with regard to a concern expressed about raccoons, possums, and other
animals being displaced by the construction in the North Federal Highway and suggestions that
the City and the developers should work together to relocate them, the City Manager stated staff
confirmed with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission their position on
relocation and read the following into the record: "It's a popular myth that the animal that are a
nuisance on your property can simply be relocated. It sounds easy enough and one would think
it might be best for the property owner and nuisance animal. However, it's rare that relocated
animals have a good chance of survival, and moving them may even affect the survival of
animals in their new "home." Relocation can be stressful to wild animals. Relocated animals
have no prior experience with their new homes which immediately puts them at a disadvantage
in finding food and shelter. Animals released in a new territory like the local knowledge to fit in
with existing animal hierarchies. Releasing animals may help spread disease. A relocation site
may not have all the basic needs for the animal to site. The combination of the previous factors
often caused animals to leave the release area. In summary, the City Manager stated the
relocation sounds appealing, but it is tough on the transported animals and can have negative
impacts on the animal populations where they are released. Our goal is to coexist with Florida's
wild animals and we owe it to them to seek low stress and hopefully non-lethal solution to
nuisance animal problems. Usually, that means modifying our own behavior. The City Manager
stated that relocating animals to public land is against Florida law. A nuisance animal trapper
licensed by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission may relocate animals to private
lands when he or she has the permission of the landowner."
With regard to a concern expressed at the March 13th meeting about the
intersection of Lake Ida Road and N.W. l0th Avenue, the City Manager stated the concern
surrounded vehicles unable to make turns from N.W. l0th Avenue onto Lake Ida Road do to
traffic stacking up. This problem was caused by the reduction in the available lanes on Lake Ida
Road under 1-95 based on the observations of the Police Department. Staff believes this was an
isolated problem that should not reoccur in the future. It was suggested that the right turn lane be
extended and noted that staff is unable to extend the right turn lane on N.W. l0th Avenue south
of Lake Ida due to the geometry of the intersection of the road alignments. The City Manager
stated there was damage to the swale in this area and noted that it will be repaired.
11.B. From the Public.
ll.B.1. Jennifer Wood~ 917 Bucida Road~ Delra¥ Beach~ expressed concern over turtle
nesting season and stated she would like the City to be aware that there are certain homes along
the beach area that are still not in compliance with the lighting nuisance standards. Ms. Wood
commented about a home four houses south of the Seagate Club and stated this estate is not
complying with the City's ordinance. In addition, Ms. Wood stated the Delray Beach Club has
six huge spot lights on top of their building shining towards the ocean and noted that this is not
in compliance with State law. Secondly, Ms. Wood stated the beach has cliffs the turtles cannot
climb up these cliffs in some areas of the beach.

Ms. Wood commented about developers in the community and suggested that
they donate land to the City of Delray Beach in an effort to give back to the community. Ms.
Wood suggested that the developers donate some of this land and extend the public beach. In
addition, Ms. Wood suggested that the developers donate land to the City of Delray Beach for a
park (i.e. for the Haitian community) and a dog park. Ms. Wood reiterated she feels it is very
important that the developers give back to the community by donating free land to the City of
Delray Beach.

Doak S. Campbell III, Attorney at Law, stated the project on Military Trail has
been approved as a conditional use for an ALF-ILF project and it will have two main
components. In order to be able to develop this in terms of a project that is going to have the
ability to reach the most and widely divergent group of citizens, some assistance both at the City
and the State level will be sought.

Mr. Levinson asked if the fees that can be deferred are sufficient. In response,
Mr. Campbell stated it will be sufficient.
Mayor Perlman asked Mr. Campbell how he plans to work with Mil-Atlantic
which was an approved project adjacent to this. In response, Mr. Campbell stated under the
conditional use approval the ALF and the ILF are considered as one project. Furthermore, Mr.
Campbell stated there has to be something in the nature of a binding covenant running with the
land to where these projects will be united not necessarily as one single development but they
will be united in accordance with the site plan and all of the requirements of the conditional use
approval.
Mayor Perlman asked the City Attorney if the Commission approves the
resolution would the City of Delray Beach have an ability to negotiate the agreement. In
response, the City Attorney stated this is subject to the city entering into and negotiating an
agreement that is acceptable. Mayor Perlman stated that this resolution is providing for a
deferral in payment not a waiver.
The City Manager stated staff has expressed concern about the Comprehensive
Plan prohibition on additional subsidized housing in the City of Delray Beach and that it needs to
be spread throughout other municipalities. However, the City Manager stated this can be looked
at as not being subsidized housing because it is an assisted living facility and has other living
elements in it to assist people when they are not able to live independently. The City Manager
reiterated that the city is not providing a direct subsidy but is deferring the payment.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve Resolution No. 20-03, seconded by Mr. Levinson.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr.
