the Planning and Zoning Board, Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board and the Historic Preservation Board during the period
November 8, 1993 through November 19, 1993.

Consider a request for conditional use approval to expand the
existing Express Car Wash facility located on N°E. 6th Avenue,
south of S.E. 4th Street. Planning and Zoning Board recommends
approval subject to conditions.
David Kovacs, Planning Director, stated that Express
Car Wash wishes to expand to the property to the south and to
also do some substantial upgrades to the property. The Planning
and Zoning Board recommends approval as a modification to an
allowable conditional use.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch relative to the perimeter
landscaping, Mr. Kovacs stated that the Planning and Zoning Board
referred the proposed width of the south driveway and a 5 ft.
wide landscape strip at the northern property line to be ad-
dressed by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board.
Mr. Randolph moved approval of the conditional use
request, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Com-
mission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth -
Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 - 0 vote.
-4- 11/23/93
Item 9,C. was replaced by Item 9.L.
9,C, JOINT VENTURE CHRISTMAS TREE EXHIBITS: Consider par-
ticipating in the Joint Venture Christmas Tree Exhibits Program.
The City Manager explained that the project involves
setting up a 50 ft. Christmas Tree on the Old School Square site
and four exhibits in Veterans Park. He pointed out that the
proposal is different than what was included in the agenda pack-
ets for this meeting and made the following recommendation: that
the use of the Veterans Park be approved with the four exhibits
and the site of O.S.S. for the tree but the City would not re-
quire two mobile fire rescue units at this time since there are
two fire stations located within this vicinity. Overtime has
been reduced by not requiring two Police Officers at each site
since crowd control will be handled by volunteers provided by the
Joint Venture and by roping off areas to control foot traffic.
The Joint Venture will assume the costs necessary for materials
for the exhibits, irrigation supplies, material and labor for
landscape repairs and the hiring of off duty police. The City
would pay for the additional lighting within the downtown area
since it has been determined that there is sufficient money in
the budget to pay that cost which is over and above what has been
privately raised at this point which is $15,400. The total City
cost is estimated at approximately $17,400 ($16,900 will come
from the street lighting account and $500 will be absorbed in
operating budget).
Marjorie Ferrer. DDA Project Coordinator, informed the
Commission that approximately $70,000 will be donated privately
and by businesses.
Dr. Alperin moved approval as recommended by the City
Manager, seconded by Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr.
Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.D. APPEAL OF SITE PLAN REVIEW AND APPEARANCE BOARD DE~I-
SION: Consider an appeal of a Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board decision from Curtis Mathis Rent to Own to permit a flat
wall sign with red and black copy on a yellow background at 1551
North Federal Highway. City Manager recommends denial.
Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated
that this item was considered by SPRAB on October 20th; however,
the sign did not receive the proper review by that Board because
the owner installed the sign without a permit. She pointed out
that the department had received complaints that the sign did not
blend in aesthetically with the area added by vehicles at the
site which are the same color.
Tony Gagliano. Manager of Curtis Mathis Rent to Own,
pointed out that the sign was installed and did not willfully
5 11/23/93
violate the City's regulations. He stated that the colors are
the company's colors which are used nationally and presented
photographs of other yellow and red signs located within the
City.
Debra Turner, Site Plan Review and Appearance Board,
stated that the Board understands that there is hardship involved
in removing a sign and because a sign contractor was involved in
this issue, she felt it would be appropriate that the store
receive some restitution from the sign contractor for replacement
of the sign.
The City Attorney pointed out that the Commission needs
to consider Section 4.6.7(F)(2(c) of the Land Development Regula-
tions which states: the colors of a sign shall not conflict with
other signs already on the building or in the immediately vicini-
ty.
Mr. Randolph expressed concern that this issue could
become a continuing problem depending on the specific location of
a facility.
After discussion, Dr. Alperin moved denial of the
appeal based upon the findings of Land Development Regulations
Section 4.6.7(F)(2)(c), seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr.
Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - No; Mayor Lynch - No; Mrs.
Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
9.E. THIS ITEM WAS PQSTPONED TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF
DECEMBER 14, 1993.
9.Fo RESOLUTION N0~ 107-95; A resolution authorizing the
execution of an Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County to
provide for the annexation of Enclaves pursuant to Section
171.046, Florida Statutes and authorizing the Mayor to entertain
and approve minor modifications to the Agreement as may be re-
quested, or required, by the Board of County Commissioners. City
Manager recommends approval.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 107-93.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,

PROVIDING FOR THE ANNEXATION OP ENCLAVES
PURSUANT TO SECTION 171.046, FLORIDA STAT-
UTES.
(Copy of Resolution No. 107-93 is on file in
the official Resolution book)
-6- 11/23/93
Mayor Lynch stated that negotiations with the
County are still in process and suggested that this
item be continued.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved continuance of this
item to the Regular Meeting of December 14, 1993,
seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr.
Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch -
Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to
0 vote.
AWARD OF BID - VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF TENNIS
CENTER/STADIUM PHASE II PROJECT: Consider awarding the
bids for paving, landscaping, fire protection, awnings,
irrigation, tennis courts, electrical and plumbing in
conjunction with the Tennis Center/Stadium Phase II
project; with funding from the General Construction
Fund - Tennis Center/Stadium Phase II (Account No.
334-4145-572-63.42). City Manager recommends approval.
The City Manager stated that the architect
and staff recommends that the contract be awarded to
the seconded low bidder, AAA Courts, Inc. He explained
the reason for this particular choice is that the low
bidder (Gator Court) uses a different system than that
which is presently in operation at the Center and the
architect feels that it would be appropriate to keep
the same system throughout the facility. This would
reduce the cost to $181,860. Regarding the bid for
electric, the City Manager stated that the low bidder
is Best Electric and that their base bid, less Alterna-
tive No. 2, will bring the cost to $122,708. The
project was estimated at $400,000; however with the
bids and the work that is coming in it is estimated
that the cost will be $525,000 which will increase the
debt service by approximately $12,000 a year. He
pointed out that there is sufficient money generated in
the utility tax increase to cover the increase. The
City Manager explained the possibility of reducing the
total cost by eliminating Alternative No. 1 and 3 which
would deduct $72,400 out of the project. These items
could possibly be done at a later date; however, it
would cost $90,000 rather than $72,000.
Joe Dragon, Assistant Director of Parks and
Recreation, stated that the membership for the Tennis
Center has nearly double and there is a great demand
for court reservations. There is 100% lighting between
the hours 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Mayor Lynch questioned the difference in the
estimated monies for various components for the Phase
-7- 11/23/93
II project and asked the rationale for choosing the
second low bidder.
The City Manager responded that AAA Courts,
Inc. was selected based on their water usage and be-
cause it is the same system which presently exists at
the facility.
Digby Bridges, Architect, explained the
difference of the estimated cost for Phase II and that
which was originally proposed is that the lighting was
underestimated due to a partial omission. Mr. Bridges
compared the technical differences between the two
proposed underground watering systems.
There was considerable discussion among
Commission members relative to whether or not to delay
the addition of lighting. The City Manager informed
the Commission that it would cost an estimated $8,000
to $I0,000 to add the lighting later, as opposed to
doing it at the present time while the courts are being
constructed.
Dr. Alperin moved approval of the various
components of the Tennis Center/Stadium Phase II
Project as recommended by staff and award the bids as
presented with the addition of the electric bid by Best
Electric of $122,708, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Dr. Alperin -
Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9,H. CHANGE ORDER NO, 4/CHAZ EOUIPMENT COMPANY,
INC.: Consider a change order in the amount of $66,692
to the contract with Chaz Equipment Company, Inc. for

ments (Account No. 442-5178-536-61.78) and Stormwater
Utility Fund - Beach Road Reconstruction (Account No.
448-5461-538-62.22). City Manager recommends approval.
Dr. Alperin expressed concern of existing
corrosion of the infrastructure in the beach area.
Ralph Hayden, City Engineer, stated that the
recent water main break in this area reflected pipes
which are in very bad condition, much worse than what
was anticipated, and that it will take time and money
to replace the deterioration.

sufficient money in last year's budget to complete the
work. The change order is to add an alternate which
was not included in last year's budget.

reading of the ordinance and there is no enactment, then there is
the possibility that it could perhaps affect I.B.F.&.O. during

-15- 11/23/93
ll.A. City Manager's response to prior public comments
inquiries:
The City Manager responded to a concern expressed by
Jean Beer regarding landscaping on South Federal Highway. He
pointed out that the medians were in satisfactory condition;
however, the plantings on the sides of the roadway will be main-
tained.
In response to a complaint regarding noise at West Side
Liquors, the City Manager stated that the Police Department will
be meeting with the property owner on this issue to ensure that
the owner is aware of the ordinance and that they are required to
operate the facility to conform with the City's regulations. The
City Manager noted that he had requested the Police Department to
contact Mrs. Hudson regarding her complaint of noise at the
establishment and to ensure that in the future she contacts the
proper employees at the Police Department.
In response to a complaint of Mr. Brooks of Carver Park
Homeowners Association, the City Manager stated that the side-
walks will be repaired in the area and that the repair work has
been placed on the Public Works' schedule for early in January
i994. Also, the Engineering Department will study drainage
problems in the area and will have some recommendations by the
middle of January.
ll.B. From the Public:
ll.B.1. Arthur Jackel, Chairman of the United Property Owners,
pointed out that a Grassroots movement within the City has been
quite successful and that 2,000 signatures were presented to the
State Legislature in West Palm Beach last week. He stated that
if additional citizens wished to add their names to the petition
they could drop off their petitions at the front desk in the
lobby of City Hall.
Mr. Jackel made additional comments as follows: 1)
emphasized that something should be done to strengthen the crimi-
nal justice laws, particularly when it comes to sentencing guide-
lines; 2) requested the Commission reconsider the time limitation
relative to the number of speakers allowed to speak on non-agenda
and public hearing items; and 3) pointed out that a local newspa-
per recently printed an article regarding the performance of a
resource recovery facility (a petition for a conditional use
request'which the applicant requested postponement).
Dudley Remus, owner of a business located at 35 S.E.
7th Avenue, presented a petition opposing the landscape ordinance
and read the petition into the record.
The City Manager clarified that the Neighborhood Task
Team which Mr. Remus referenced in his petition was not involved
in the commercial landscape ordinance. He pointed out that the
-16- 11/23/93
ordinance was adopted prior to the Neighborhood Task Team's
report, and perhaps prior to their existence.
$~ev9 Green. owner of Ken and Hazel's Restaurant locat-
ed at 222 East Atlantic Avenue, was disturbed over a recent
newspaper article regarding a statement made by the attorney
representing the Community Redevelopment Agency. The article
stated that the CRA did not want the restaurant or any other
tenants in that particular block for its redevelopment plan for a
movie theatre at that location. He informed the Commission that
the C.R.A. di~ not include him in their negotiations. Mr. Green
then read into the record the petition containing approximately
5,000 signatures opposing the CRA Redevelopment Plan for the
movie theatre.
Marie Nofsinger, 329 N.E. 7th Avenue, complained of her
utility bill which she considered was very high for her personal
usage.
The City Manager responded that a representative from
the City's Utility Billing Division would be in contact with her.
Carol Savage, resident., complained of the notice which
is included in the City's utilities billing informing residents
of the landscape ordinance, its time frame and regulations. She
made reference to the fact that sod requires a substantial amount
of water usage and felt xeroscape landscaping would be a better
alternative.
The Commission returned to the First Readings portion
of the agenda.

13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items:
13.A. Commission:
Mr. Randolph pointed out that the glare from the lights
at the Tennis Center restricts the vision of the drivers of
vehicles from N.W. 8th Avenue traveling east and suggested that
this should be checked by staff.
As a member of the Pompey Park Swimming Committee, Mr.
Randolph stated that the Committee is investigating the possibil-
ity of a recreational type pool for Pompey Park with a wading
pool for small tots. He expressed concern of the high cost of
funding for the pool and the Committee is anticipating an esti-
mate from the architect in the near future.
Mr. Randolph expressed concern of drug activity in the
southeast area of the City and that in order to stop crime within
the City the drugs and illegal activities will have to be cur-
tailed.
Mrs. Smith felt that the work at the Playground at
Veterans Park was a tremendous success and that the volunteers
should be proud of their accomplishment. She commented that the
residents deserved much credit and felt that the work on the
playground helped to bring the community together.
Mayor Lynch expressed appreciation to the many resi-
dents who donated their time and effort and pointed out that many
of the volunteers did not even live in the City.
Mayor Lynch reported that he and the City Manager met
with representatives from CoTran who gave information on their
transportation expansion and will be returning to the City for
its input. He hoped that the Chamber of Commerce, the DDA, the
CRA and other agencies can work together with CoTran and can come
up with a very effective bus system to meet with needs of the
community.
