7.C. Matt Gracey and Tina Dale - Florida Tennis Association
Matt Gracey stated that recently the Delray Beach
Tennis Patrons Association was formed, which is a support group,
to try to get a youth tennis program started. The goal is to put
250 children, from all neighborhoods, through a free eight-week
summer program that is to commence just after the close of the
school year. Those children most interested from this program
would then comprise a Junior Tennis League and, subsequently,
could be placed into tennis academies located in various areas to
learn if college scholarships might be attained.
Ed Foster, Director of the Tennis Center, stated there
is currently a great tennis boom and he feels it is mostly due to
the beautiful facility the City now has. This program will be
for children from the ages of five through sixteen years. It
will be necessary to raise funds, but he feels that can be done.
Tina Dale, Director of Marketing and Community Develop-
ment for the Florida Sector of the USTA, stated she believes the
most important focus of the USTA is the program dedicated to
grass roots tennis and the promotion of community tennis associa-
tions. The Delray Beach Tennis Patrons and the City of Delray
Beach have agreed to adopt the USTA and JTL program to start in
the summer of 1994 at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. Soliciting
for enrollment through an organized system of schools, clinics
and assemblies will begin in March of 1994 and continue through-
out the school year. The summer budget is approximately $15,000
for the Delray Beach Tennis Patrons Association. Six adult
-2- 12/7/93
tournament fund raisers will be held, donations will be solicited
from local civic groups, a patron membership drive will be con-
ducted and a local merchant program. The main fund raiser will
be a cocktail party and silent auction to be held February 28,
1994, the opening night of the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament.

Commission to help seed the program.

12,B. ORDINANCE NO. 82-93: An ordinance designating 622
North Ocean Boulevard as an Historic Site. Historic Preservation
Board recommends approval. If passed, Public Hearing will be
held January 11, 1994.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 82-93:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 622 NORTH OCEAN
BOULEVARD, AS A LOCAL HISTORIC SITE; PROVID-
ING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE "ZONING MAP OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1993" TO SHOW THE
HISTORIC DESIGNATION IN AN OVERLAY MANNER;
PROVIDING A NON-SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, A GENER-
AL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mayor Lynch stated even though this is not a public
hearing item, he will open the floor to comment from the public.
Michael Weiner, representing Paul Cusson, 702 North
Ocean Boulevard, a neighboring property owner, stated the site
referenced also has a lot across the street that is on the ocean.
He recalled a similar situation involving a platting of the
-6- 12/7/93
property wherein a non-buildable lot on the ocean side was grant-
ed a variance and became a buildable lot.
Mr. Weiner stated he has learned that there is a plat
before staff for consideration at this time which actually subdi-
vides the property. In his opinion, he does not feel it is
appropriate to come before the City Commission requesting some-
thing that appears to benefit the City, namely the Historic
designation, but will have for itself a hidden agenda. He fur-
ther feels that should this property be subdivided, it can only
be a private benefit and a public detriment to ask for additional
lots to become buildable lots east of A-1-A. He plans to make a
full presentation at the time of Second and FINAL Reading of this
ordinance, because he believes other things should be considered
other than the criteria for an Historic site.
Roger Saber~on, representing the property owner at 622
North Ocean Boulevard, stated he feels the single most important
thing that relates to this application and the plat, is that the
property owner referred to by Mr. Weiner abuts this property to
the north, he has built his house, but he does not want his
neighbor to build. The property immediately to the south which
abuts his applicant's' property also is being built on and that
lot is smaller than the lot at 622 North Ocean Boulevard. The
land area east of A-I-A, when acquired, was significantly larger
than would be required today to build under the R-l-AAA
standards. It is only by virtue of the fact that the State
established an erosion control line that made this lot smaller
than what is required for this zone.
Mr. Saberson further noted that to state that the
Historic designation application is inappropriate because it is
related to the plat, is incorrect. It would have been easy for
his applicant to give the City a plat and request a variance from
the City Commission. In his opinion there is no way the City
could refuse his applicant the right to build on the property.
He recommended a change in the caption of the ordinance at the
end of the third line, indicating that the property is west of SR
A-l-A, and the same correction again in Section 1.
Dr. Alperin asked for confirmation that the offer is
contingent on the plat approval.
Mr. Saberson responded that the owner submitted the
application on the condition that the variances would be granted.
There are a number of options, but he has not discussed this with
his applicant, should the Commission deny the ordinance.
Discussion followed with regard to the Coastal Con-
struction Line, currently under consideration concerning proposed
major changes, and the erosion control line, which has not
changed.
-7- 12/7/93
Dr. Alperin stated it is his opinion that the Historic
designation be supported, but no assurance given that the Commis-
sion will automatically endorse the plat.
Dr. Alperin moved for the adoption of Ordinance No.
82-93 on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor
Lynch - No; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth
- Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to ! vote.
At this point, the time being 7:05, the Commission
moved to the duly advertised Public Hearings portion of the
agenda.
10. Public Hearings:
10.A. ORDINANCE NO. 65-93/REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL USE IN THE
NC (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) ZONE DISTRICT: An ordinance amend-
ing Section 4.4.11, "Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District", of
the Land Development Regulations to provide for the display and
sale of lawn furniture, playground equipment, sheds and accesso-
ries as a conditional use; to delete the dispensing of gasoline
directly to a vehicle as a conditional use; to delete veterinary
offices as a conditional use; to revise the maximum site area to
two (2) acres and to provide for a maximum floor area for single
tenant office or service uses and single principal uses. Concur-
rently, consider a request for an additional use, "retail sale of
automotive parts without on-site installation thereof" in the NC
zone district. Prior to consideration of passage of this ordi-
nance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been
scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 65-93:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING
CHAPTER 4, "ZONING REGULATIONS", SECTION
4.4.11 "NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (NC) DIS-
TRICT'', -OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS

(Copy of Ordinance No. 65-93 is on file in the official
Ordinance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A
public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compli-
ance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Michael Weiner, representing the Del-Aire Property
Owners Association, stated this ordinance has been debated on
numerous occasions and, while it has been amended, a request is
being made to reduce the 10,000 square feet to 4,000 square feet.
(This originally was 35,000 square feet). He also requested
consideration regarding the retail sale of automotive parts, as
this is Neighborhood Commercial (NC).
Roger Saberson, representing the Mirandis, owners of
the Hitching Post located adjacent to the Hamlet Shoppes, stated
they were annexed into the City in 1983 at the request of a City
Official who indicated there would be a General Commercial (GC)
zoning designation on the property. That designation continued
until the Land Development Regulations were adopted in 1990 and
the zoning was changed to Neighborhood Commercial (NC). The
property owners would like the opportunity to not be a
non-conforming use in order to expand and utilize their business.
Saul Weinberger, Officer of the Del-Aire Property
Owners Association, spoke in opposition to Ordinance No. 65-93.
Helen Coopersmith asked exactly what parcel of property
is being discussed at this time. Mayor Lynch responded that Mr.
Weinberger was referring to the Taheri property; however, there
are a total of six or seven parcels.
Laurie Cullen, representing the Hamlet Residents Asso-
ciation, stated the residents are concerned that the area will be
used for other than Neighborhood Commercial zoning.
Alan J. Kan, representing Discount Auto Parts, stated
it appears that the manipulation of the overall language of this
ordinance is a result of negotiations with the developer of the
35 acre parcel, who appears to have wanted the property to be
zoned all Commercial and ultimately agreed to a transitional land
use designation. He feels the City has lost the concept of
Neighborhood Commercial and the conditional use categories,
especially in the event that a hurricane or some type of disaster
destroyed the building and questioned if that would mean the use
no longer would exist. He suggested that this ordinance go back
for further evaluation and review and be presented for
consideration at a later time.
-9- 12/7/93
The public hearing was closed.
David Kovacs, Planning Director, stated with respect to
the question of uses, a more appropriate way to approach the
matter of placing a use back into a structure in the event of a
disaster that would destroy a building, would be to grant some
sort of relief in order that a use could be reestablished in a
reasonable length of time. That is a different issue. He does
not feel this warrants changing the entire NC zone district, but
approach it through the City's disaster control measures.
Mayor Lynch requested that this particular issue be
workshopped, not only for NC zoning, but for all zonings, in the
event of a natural disaster.
Discussion followed regarding non-conforming lots, the
two acre limit, storm-water retention, total amount of square
footage and setback requirements.
Dr. Alperin moved for the adoption of Ordinance No.
65-93 on Second and FINAL Reading, with direction to P&Z to
review concerns with the ordinance as it exists today, seconded
by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:

Laurie Cullen stated that the Hamlet Association would

Assistant City Attorney Tolces read the caption of the
ordinance. A public hearing was held having been legally adver-
tised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the
Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Mr. Kovacs announced that there are two Public Hearings
at this stage. For the First Reading of the ordinance, a special
1/4 page advertisement appeared in the newspaper, showing the
properties that are affected and giving some identification of
the items before the Commission. The background is that of the
ORC Report (Objections, Recommendations and Comments) from DCA
and the City's response. Also contained in the background are
yellow pages which is the response to the ORC Report, in which
the City responds to specific objections raised by the DCA.
There were six objections, three of~which dealt with the Taheri
and Blood properties. One was a minor wording change about a
self-amending plan concern; another dealt with inconsistencies
with State and Treasure Coast policies. In the City's response
to the first three items, the objections to the State and Region-
al Policies disappear. The City is making a change to the minor
wording of the third item precisely like DCA recommended.
Mr. Kovacs continued by stating with respect to the
first objection category which stated the City had insufficient
analysis on impact of public facilities, the Plan Amendment was
clarified by showing that, on the Blood property, it was a re-
allocation of Land Use and not a change in Land Use, in moving a
designation from the center of the site to the proposed School
Site "S". The City's response was that there was no impact.
With respect to the Taheri property, the City received
additional information from Dr. Taheri's planner, which was the
background for the Staff statements that are contained in the
report.
Lee Einsweiler, Planner, representing the Bloods,
stated he brought along a copy of a letter that was sent to the
City Manager today from their attorney, Carol Stanley, which he
would like to have included in the record. He stated that his
basic comment is about the way the map was portrayed in the
material. The first issue is that the acreage tally shown under
the corrected Land Use Map for the Blood property totals 105
acres and there are actually 110 acres in the site; therefore, an
additional five (5) acres should have been included in the Medium
-23- 12/7/93
Density Residential category. Secondly, along the western bound-
ary of the site there is a CF designation remaining outside of
the park, school and fire station parcels. The intent was to
move the designation from the center of the site to the actual
sites; therefore, it is his belief that the CF designation is
inappropriate and should be deleted. In the tally remaining
below, the four (4) acres which are designated CF "other" were
intended to be designated Low Density Residential.
Kerry Kilday, representing the Taheris, stated Dr.
Taheri's property, upon annexation into the City, is zoned Agri-
cultural and not Neighborhood Commercial (NC). As was indicated
at that time, the Taheris came into the City as part of the
School Board package, the site of the school then changed, but a
decision was made to continue with the annexation. There are no
specific development plans for the property. If by chance the
school site does not work out and needs to come back to this
site, a proper Land Use category of Transitional is available to
allow the school.
Michael Weiner, representing the Del-Aire Property
Owners Association, stated the Department of Community Affairs
took this application very seriously, specifically stating that
the proposed amendment to change the Land Use from Medium Density
Residential to Transitional is not supported by the data and
analysis, which shows that the amendment is necessary to accommo-
date the Land Use needs of the projected population. In his
opinion, just because this is possible or because the City can do
it, does not indicate it should be done. He does not see the
need.
The public hearing was closed.
Discussion followed regarding uses for Community Facil-
ities (CF) and the possible deprivation to the development of the
Community if this is changed.
Dr. Alperin moved for the adoption of Ordinance No.
84-93 on First Reading, directing the alteration of the exhibits
to include the revised exhibit which would be consistent with
Blood's clarification information, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon
roll call the Commission 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.
11. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the
Public- Immediately following Public Hearings.
ll.A~ City Manager's response to prior public comments and
inquiries.
ll,A.1. The City Manager responded to comments made by Gerri
Hudson regarding noise at the Westside Liquor establishment, by
stating that Major Lincoln and Captain Schroeder met with Mrs.
-24- 12/7/93
Cunningham and her son-in-law to discuss the noise problem. It
was clearly presented that the Police Department would go into
action if the problem was not corrected. The Cunninghams stated
they are aware of the problem and have since installed additional
insulation and coverage to the area and the bands have been
informed that the noise level must be kept down. There are plans
underway to close in the area used by the band. Mrs. Cunningham
has met with several of the neighbors and assured them the prob-
lems will be taken care of. All patrol units have been notified
with direction to take action on any and all complaints where
noise violations are found to be occurring.
ll,A,2, The City Manager commented that a petition was received
at the last meeting from Mr. Remus representing objections to the
1993 minimum Landscape Code requirements. Upon reviewing the
petition it was found that out of the 85 signatures, approximate-
ly 15 of those are affected property owners, each of which will
be individually contacted to address their individual concerns.
The majority of the signatures did not appear to have any real
interest in terms of being a property or business owner.
ll,A.3, The City Manager commented that Mrs. Marie Nofsinger
complained about her high utility bill. Upon checking, it was
learned that an address change had been made on her street and as
a result she was being billed for the wrong meter. A credit will
be issued and a correction made in order to assure that she will
be billed for the correct meter in the future.
ll.A.4. The City Manager responded to a comment regarding City
direction about sod, by quoting from the nuisance ordinance that
states any portion of a lot not covered by buildings must be
sodded with a healthy green grass or other appropriate ground
cover. In the City's minimum landscape requirements for existing
properties, swales in the right-of-way must be planted with sod
and that may be what was being referred to. First of all, the
swales are intended to handle drainage from the street and sod
does a good job of stabilizing the retention area that must be
maintained. Secondly, this area is also a vehicular recovery
area in the event that someone runs off the road. If plants,
other than sod are planted in these areas, they would be crushed.
The City encourages implementation of xeroscape and the City's
Horticulturist is a certified xeroscape advisor.
ll.B, From the Public.
ll,B,1, Alice Fin~t, 707 Place Tavant, pointed out that this
portion of the agenda is being heard at 9:00 P.M. and asked if
the City Commission would consider placing the public comments on
non-agenda items (Item 11) ahead of the ordinance readings. She
felt that the public comments could be heard more expeditiously
at that time rather than having individuals waiting a very long
time before they could address the Commission on non-agenda
items.
-25- 12/7/93
She commented that landscaping improvements are actual-
ly occurring along Lake Ida Road and that it is nice to see a lot
of activity in the downtown area, especially on Atlantic Avenue
(east to west).
Ms. Pinst pointed out that the historic marker in the
Black community still has not been attended to even though she
was told sometime during the springtime that it would be taken
care of in October. She emphasized that it is now December and
still nothing has been done to the property. The following
concerns were expressed: the fence is in worse condition, one of
the supports for the fence is lying on the ground with the cement
base still around it; and further, that the Ficus hedge is ob-
scuring the marker and trash and cans are on the site. She
suggested that the historic marker be relocated in a more promi-
nent area.
Roger Salv~il, 318 N.E. 7th Avenue, stated that he had
addressed the Commission recently relative to excessive noise
from an auto trim establishment and complained that nothing has
been done to resolve the matter. He stated that he had been
informed by the Director of Community Improvement that the busi-
ness was allowed to operate seven days a week. He felt that as a
homeowner he has a right to be able to relax after a long day at
work. He suggested that the business could be required to close
the back door after 5:00 P.M.
Helen Coopersmith, resident, complained about an indi-
vidual selling merchandise at the southeast corner of Atlantic
Avenue and Military Trail.
13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items;
I~,A. Commission
Mr. Ellingsworth had no comments or inquiries.
13.A.1. Mrs. Smith stated that she was glad to see that the
vacant lot between Spady Elementary School and Lake Ida Road has
been cleared and that it was an improvement in this area.
13oA,2, In regard to the new commercial landscaping ordinance,
Mrs. Smith felt that the new regulations place a financial hard-
ship on many small business owners in the City and that she would
like to see some relief relative to extending the time frame for
compliance. She commented that the recent letter mailed to
property owners from the Community Improvement Department has
been improved. She considered the information as being a much
"warmer" communication than that which was originally sent.
The City Manager pointed out that perhaps some property
owners are not aware that the ordinance provides a three year
time frame for compliance. Many residents have since been indi-
vidually contacted and the ordinance time-frame more fully ex-

plained. Staff has been very accommodating in helping these
property owners by explaining the phasing of meeting the regula-
tions.
Dr. Alperin had no comments or inquiries.
Mr. Randolph had no comments or inquiries.
13.A.3. Mayor Lynch stated that he had received a letter from
Palm Beach County regarding the status of their intentions of
Land Use along Atlantic Avenue and that he would forward it to
the City Manager. Mayor Lynch then informed the Commission of
the County's Five Year Road Improvement Schedule for roadways
which might affect the City. He expressed concern about learning
that the work from Lake Ida Road to Swinton Avenue was not sched-
uled to commence until January of 1995 and will take one year to
complete.
13.B.. The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries.
13.C. The City Manager had no comments or inquiries.
13.D. County and Municipal Issues. None.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 9:05 P.M.
