9,B, RENTAL REHABILITATION AWARD/MSD CQNSTRUCTION SERVICE$~
Consider awarding the bid for the rehabilitation of rental units
located at 11-27 S.W. 2nd Avenue to MJD Construction Services in
the amount of $107,520, with funding from CDBG Housing Rehabili-
tation (Account No. 118-1975-554-34.65).
The City Manager stated he has received a draft amend-
ment to the interlocal agreement between the County and the CRA.
-6- 6/22/93
Should the draft agreement be adopted, it would provide for the
CRA to acquire the property and convey it to the County on or
before October 1, 1994.
Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, gave a
brief update, noting that the contract could be reduced to a
total of $66,000 by making only minimum improvements to building
code violations as opposed to replacement, but Dr. Norris, the
applicant, indicated he would prefer to go ahead with the origi-
nal contract with the City. However, under the rental rehab
program, all code violations are to be addressed and Ms. Butler
is concerned with regard to landscaping and parking deficiencies
that currently exist on the property and these are not included
as a part of this contract.
Dr. Alperin expressed concern that so much money is
being put into buildings that are eventually to be torn down and
the area subsequently used for parking.
The City Manager stated it is his understanding that
the current agreement with the County has a time frame in it for
acquisition which is so far into the future that it would not
justify immediate condemnation. Under the current agreement, the
CRA cannot acquire it as there is no need for it until the end of
1996. Therefore, they are trying to get it amended because of
the need for additional parking. Discussion followed.
The City Attorney commented that, under the HUD Program
Services guidelines, the funds must be used to meet the minimum
Code violation problem and the landscaping will not meet those
requirements under this current agreement.
Dr, Virgil C. Norris, applicant and owner, stated he
has received numerous Code violations and has done his best to
correct these immediately. Last December he contacted the City
staff requesting information with regard to his eligibility to
participate in the Rental Rehabilitation program and a favorable
response was received. He feels the City is dragging its feet.
Ms. Butler gave an update of the process, explaining
that the CRA was notified immediately upon the receipt of Dr.
Norris' application; however, the eligibility process took nearly
two months to prove. That approval came in the same month that
the Housing Rehab inspector made his initial inspection and
write-up on the project. She further added that the scope of
this project has changed three (3) times between December of 1992
and March of 1993, resulting in redoing the work write-up, but
they have continued to proceed in a timely manner.
Upon question, the City Manager stated he feels the
property owner should not be kept in limbo and that condemnation
will have very little, in any, impact on the ultimate value of
the property.
7 6/22/93
Ms. Butler stated she would like a commitment from Dr.
Norris to do some exterior improvements to the landscape and
parking area, as a condition of this entire package.
Mr. Randolph moved to honor this agreement and proceed
with haste.
Mr. Ellingsworth questioned if Mr. Randolph would add
that the outstanding violations be brought up to date as a part
of the motion.
Mr. Randolph amended his motion to include a compromise
between the City and the owner with regard to the landscaping,
seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mayor Lynch - No; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth -
Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
REOUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS: Consider a
request for Modification of Standards to permit a boat dock less
than 25 feet from the property line at 631 Pelican Way. City
Engineer recommends approval.
The City Manager commented that this dock has been in
place for approximately ten (I0) years and it is recommended that
the waiver be approved. Due to the unusual shape of the proper-
ty, it is felt to be appropriate.
Dr. Alperin moved approval, seconded by Mr. Randolph.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin -
Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
9.D, RESOLUTION NO. 54-93: THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE
AGENDA.
9.E. ALLOCATION OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY LOAN
REPAYMENT: THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA.
9.F, MARKETING AGREEMENT WITH LIDDUN INTERNATIONAL. INC.:
Approve an agreement with Liddun International, Inc. for the
marketing of the Tennis Stadium.
The City Attorney stated this agreement is before the
Commission addressing earlier concerns. A change has been made
in the definition of gross rental fees to exclude those fees; for
example, temporary bleacher fees or use of the Community Center
or other Old School Square facilities. This is acceptable to Mr.
Liddy.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved approval of the Marketing Agree-
ment with Liddun International, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes;
Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
-8- 6/22/93
9oGo REQUEST FOR ADVANCED FUNDING AND USE OF TENNIS STADI-
UM/GOSPEL CONCERT: Consider a request from Dennis Enterprises,
Ltd. for a funding advance in the amount of $9,017 to cover
expenses and use of the Tennis Stadium to hold a gospel concert
on July 24, 1993.
The City Manager stated the City would become a sponsor
of the event. There are some concerns regarding the short time
frame and the fact that there is no history of how successful
this type of event has been.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch as to a date certain of
July 24th, Wayne Dennis, Director, Dennis Enterprises, LTD,
stated they will be using Ticket Master, a nationally-known
outlet, for the sale of tickets, who will update sales on a daily
basis. If, on the week prior to the concert, 50% of the tickets
have not been sold, the concert will be cancelled. The minimum
charge by the Choir is a $500 deposit. If necessary, he can
cover that amount with funds he has set aside. Discussion fol-
lowed with regard to security and parking.
The City Manager stated that based on the information
presented tonight, funding of a $500 deposit plus the advertising
cost of $750 comes to a total of $1250, the figure the City would
need to forfeit should the concert be cancelled.
The City Attorney suggested this be made into a format
contract to address these concerns and other legal concerns
regarding the use of public monies. The City Attorney also
advised that these funds need to be channeled through a non-prof-
it designation.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved approval of use by the Gospel
Concert Group with advanced monies of up to $9,017 being forward-
ed for that project and subject to the City Attorney's approval
of all contract arrangements, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes;
Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
9.H. APPROVAL OF REQUEST/JULY 4TH CELEBRATION: Approve
various requests in conjunction with the July 4th Celebration.
City Manager recommends approval.
Assistant City Manager Barcinski stated the All Ameri-
ca City's Marketing Committee has been very active in trying to
line up a program for the Fourth of July. The request before the
Commission is to authorize the Marketing Committee to issue and
approve vendor permits at the grounds of Old School Square and
the municipal beach on July 4th. A request has also been made
for up to $2500 to help cover the cost of the tent to be erected
for the Boca Pops concert and miscellaneous activities.
-9- 6/22/93
Mr. Randolph moved approval of the request for the
Fourth of July celebration, including the specific request num-
bers 1, 2 and 3 in the memorandum, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph -
Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
At this point, the time being 7:00 P.M., the Commission
moved to the duly advertised Public Hearings portion of the
agenda.
10. Public Hearings:
10.A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 93-2 TRANSMITTAL HEARING:
Authorize staff to forward Plan Amendment 93-2 to the State
Department of Community Affairs. Planning and Zoning Board recom-
mends approval, subject to conditions. Prior to consideration of
approval of this request, a public hearing has been scheduled to
be held at this time.
David Kovacs, Director of Planning, stated the trans-
mittal of proposed Plan Amendment 93-2 to the Department of
Community Affairs for further review is before the Commission
tonight, consisting of six components. The first item is the
Taheri Property and the Land Use map amendment; the second is the
Blood property and the Land Use map amendment, dealing with
School Site "S"; the third deals with the Water Treatment Plant;
the fourth item is the annexation objectives relating to the
County action taken earlier this week; the fifth item deals with
alleyway beautification and the sixth item relates to
Intergovernmental coordination and multi-jurisdictional review of
plan amendments.
Mr. Kovacs suggested that each item be considered
individually, reserving approval until all have been discussed.
Taheri Proper~y.
Mr. Kovacs presented an overview of this property
indicating that there is a companion petition to annex into the
City under Agricultural zoning. Dr. Taheri is requesting, in the
future, to have his Land Use Plan designation referred to as
Transitional, allowing various zoning designations, which Mr.
Kovacs explained in detail. The request is to be annexed into
the City with a Transitional Land Use designation and as an
advisory recommendation in the plan now, it is residential at 12
units per acre. The Commission is being requested for authority
to transmit this to DCA for a review process and return to the
City for adoption hearings in the months of October/November.
Kerry Kilday, representing Dr. Taheri, commented that
the only addition he would like to make to Mr. Kovac's comments
is the reason for coming into the City at this time. Dr. Taheri
was involved during the last couple of years with the School
-10- 6/22/93
Board in conjunction with the Blood's property for the sighting
of a school on a portion of his property. Upon approval by Dr.
Taheri to allow a school to be built on a ten-acre site, a
contract was drafted by the School Board, subject to a condition
that a zoning designation of GC (General Commercial) be placed on
the balance of the property. However, the Bloods decided to move
ahead and offer their property. When the school was no longer a
part of the condition, Dr. Taheri made a decision to bring the
entire 35 acres into the City under a Transitional designation.
Michael Weiner, representing the Del-Aire property
owners, stated he feels the City is getting ahead of itself, as
there is no existing development plan at this time.
Sol Weinberger, representing the Del-Aire Homeowners
Association, spoke in opposition to submittal of the amendment,
due to the hazardous traffic situation that will be created as a
result of this zoning designation.
Elmer Bregman, Del-Aire, expressed the feeling that
both sides of Military Trail should be limited to a zoning desig-
nation of Residential in this area. He sees no reason for pursu-
ing commercial construction further south on Military Trail.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Kilday commented that his client is not requesting
commercial, but to keep the zoning Agricultural and have a Land
Use designation that will allow for some inventiveness and flexi-
bility when a planned development is submitted. Their concern is
that they may have to go through another Land Use change.
Upon question, Mr. Kovacs stated this item will not be
back for adoption consideration until the end of October or the
first of November. A public hearing will then be held at First
Reading and another at Second and FINAL Reading.
Mayor Lynch questioned the process necessary should the
applicant want to start a particular development in two years.
Mr. Kovacs responded, if that development is consistent with RM
or with the zonings allowed, he then rezones his property and
goes through the public hearing process.
Dr. Alperin moved for transmission of the Plan Amend-
ment for the Taheri Property, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes;
Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes;
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Blood's Grove
Mr. Kovacs stated the City is the petitioner in this
issue, in order to facilitate the annexation, zoning and Land Use
Plan Amendment necessary to accommodate School site "S". In this
-11- 6/22/93
Plan Amendment necessary to accommodate School site "S". In this
case the CF (Community Facilities) zoning is very specific. If
this item is forwarded to DCA, the City will then go through the
step of local processing, including conditional use review,
public hearing at P&Z level and notice to the neighborhoods. The
recommendation of the P&Z Board, on a 6 to 0 vote, was not to
amend the plan with respect to the specific proposal. However,
the Board also took a separate action, which stated that they did
not want the denial of the request to be used as a rejection of a
school site in the general area or putting a park and school
together. Therefore, the recommended action is (1) do not for-
ward it, but have the administration go back and start at the
beginning or; (2) forward it, with a very firm statement that
this is really the site and no alterations will be considered;
or, (3) forward it, stating that the P&Z Board action has brought
up points for concern and in the ensuing months the City will
continue with the conditional use process and see if adjustments
need to be made.
Mark Krall, member P&Z Board, stated when the Blood's
Grove issue was presented to the Board, they did not have the
benefit of knowing what was happening with regard to the Taheri
property negotiations and the School Board. He feels that the
questions the surrounding neighborhood will be asking is, who
will buy quality residential development, in the future, in
Blood's Grove. There is also a traffic issue to consider. He
suggests forwarding this to DCA, but not limiting it to the
specific parameters of that site. As an alternative, the City
can forward this amendment, but tell DCA that this does not
necessarily mean that the City is limiting itself to a particular
portion of a parcel.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch regarding the specific
location of the school on a particular parcel of property, Mr.
Kovacs clarified that the City does not have a legal parcel that
has been created or subdivided under the boundaries in the north-
east corner of Blood's Grove. He further agreed that the north-
east area, the southwest area and the Taheri property are loca-
tions for potential school sites.
At this time Mayor Lynch opened the floor to public
comment.
Assistant City Manager Barcinski, representing the
City, gave a background regarding issues dealt with and the many
sites considered in the selection of this specific site. He
advised that the needs and regulations of the City must be met,
the School Board restrictions must be adhered to, along with
consideration for the property owners regarding issues of commer-
cialization, roadways and overall safety.
J~ck Graham, resident of Foxe Chase, spoke in opposi-
tion to the proposed zoning change and annexation for the purpose
of a school and park site, because of the adverse impact it will
-12- 6/22/93
have on the adjacent property and the safety of the children
attending the school.
George RQchford, resident of Oakmont, thanked all those
persons connected with the new Fire Station No. 5. He spoke in
opposition to the proposed site for a new school and feels there
are better alternatives.
Jerry Marshall, resident of Woodlake and member of the
Education Board, spoke in favor of the proposed school site.
Christine Carter, schoolteacher, expressed her delight
in having a school site just off Germantown Road which she feels
is a good place to attract young families where the children can
walk to school and have access to a park.
Gretchen Bacon, resident of Oakmont, stated she be-
lieves this is an excellent location for the new school and a
plus for the young families in this area.
Arnie Swick, resident of Oakmont, spoke in favor of the
Land Use Amendment necessary to allow construction of the pro-
posed school site "S". He feels the support of the Commission
will demonstrate to the citizens of Delray that they stand behind
the continued growth of Delray as an "All American City"
Dave Williams, acting coordinator of Planning and Real
Estate for the School Board of Palm Beach County stated on June
2nd the School Board approved the purchase contract for ten (10)
acres of the Blood's Grove property for an elementary school
site. The School Board staff is addressing the permitting
issues of the contract contingencies which must be satisfied
prior to closing. The amendment to the interlocal agreement with
the City indicates that the school will be open in the 1995-96
school year. The proposed School Board capital budget being
presented at a School Board workshop tomorrow includes the fund-
ing necessary to meet this schedule. It also includes funding
for a school on the Morikami Road property to be built concurrent
with the Germantown Road school. These two schools will signifi-
cantly relieve existing schools in the Delray Beach and west
Delray areas. After speaking with a representative of the Foxe
Chase residents, who expressed concern regarding the proximity of
the school site to their community, a meeting was scheduled for
July 1, 1993 to meet with the Foxe Chase representatives to
address their concerns.
Cheryl $~olzenberq, resident of Chateau Wood, speaking
as a professional urban planner, recommended that those persons
voicing concern with regard to the proposed school site should
not consider a site located along Military Trail. It is a major
arterial road and no place for a grade school.
E,P, Juliano, 2420 Greenbriar Drive, developer of Foxe
Chase, spoke in opposition to the proposed school site.
-13- 6/22/93
Tom Fleming, 2850 Hampton Circle East, stated he, too
is a developer on Germantown Road. He challenges the question
that a school proximate to a residential neighborhood will de-
stroy the property values in that neighborhood.
Helg~ Coopersmith, resident, stated Delray Beach won
the "All America City" award because one of the three issues
represented was sharing an excellence for schools. The residents
of Foxe Chase are not residents of the City of Delray Beach; they
began their development in 1979. They do not require City water
and sewer service, City police and fire protection, City streets
and lights. She feels the Commission should not be listening to
people who did not want to become a part of our City.
GgQrge W~irg~, resident of Foxe Chase, spoke in opposi-
tion to what he referred to as spot zoning. He recommended an
alternate location to the west.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated this project has
been in the planning stage for more than three (3) years. If
this is not approved at this time, she questioned if everyone
wants to return to the drawing board and begin again.
Sandra Weires, resident of Foxe Chase, stated she was
shocked to learn of the proposed new school with no notification
or contact from the City. She feels the school should be placed
to the west.
Sandy Middlecott, business owner in Delray Beach, spoke
in favor of the proposed new school site.
Rosetta Rolle, 301N.W. 3rd Avenue, speaking on behalf
of the Voters League, requested that the Commission vote in favor
of the proposed school site.
The public hearing was closed.
Dr. Alperin stated he was extremely disappointed at the
P&Z meeting, in that they seemed to be dealing with a very small
portion of the City and not as a whole. It is inconceivable to
him that the presence of a school is looked at as a negative
impact on a neighborhood. He feels that elementary schools
belong in residential areas and should be nurtured by the neigh-
borhood.
Mr. Randolph stated he feels schools serve as a great
anchor to any city, particularly those who yearn to have the
younger set be a vital part of the community. He feels this
would reduce busing, help to racially balance the schools in the
City and reduce overcrowding at this level.
Mr. Ellingsworth spoke in favor of transmittal and
stated he feels it should be acted on tonight.
-14- 6/22/93
Mayor Lynch stated he is in favor of this transmittal.
The City has had a good relationship with the School Board for
the past two years, proving to be very beneficial to the citizens
and he hopes the negotiations go well. A school is definitely
needed in this area and we need to work together for what is best
for the community.
The City Manager clarified that the road into the
middle of the property would be built at a later date at the
developer's expense. The City's agreement with the School Board
requires that the City build a road from Germantown Road down to
the school site itself. Also, he asked that everyone bear in
mind that the City's agreement with the School Board requires the
School Board to contribute $150,000 toward the cost of infra-
structure and improvement such as the road, sewer and water
service. He further commented that, as a planner, and looking at
the area, there are currently four (4) elementary schools in the
City and all four (4) are basically surrounded by residential
development. Most of the zoning ordinances that he is familiar
with allow schools as a conditional use in the residential zone.
Should the City have that type of ordinance, there would be no
need to discuss a comprehensive plan change.
The City Manager also stated that it is his understand-
ing that there was a discussion at the P&Z meeting expressing
concern about the loss of an area designated as Low Density
Residential by putting tke school in this location. It has been
confirmed with Blood's attorney that what the City is doing is
taking the area in the middle of their property and moving it up
to the school site. In turn, that low density area would move
down to the area now shown as CF (Community Pacilities), thereby
shifting it around on the overall property.
Dr. Alperin moved to forward Plan Amendment 93-2 with
the Blood's property of a Low Density Residential change to CF
(Community Facilities) with Alternative 2, seconded by Mr.
Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes;
Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mr. Kovacs summed up the remaining four (4) items, as
follows:
(3) Up-date of information pertaining to the Water
Treatment Plant
(4) Changes to the Annexation Objective and Policies
to accommodate a transfer of land use authority from
the County to the City
(5) Modification to a Land Use Element Policy pertain-
ing to alleyway beautification and use
(6) Changes to the Intergovernmental Element to accom-
modate multi-jurisdictional review of plan amendments
-I5- 6/22/93
Prior to consideration of action on the above items, a
public hearing was held.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Randolph moved approval of the inclusion of the
last four items on the Plan Amendment 93-2 to be transmitted,
seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr.
Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 0 vote.
.10.Bo REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF THE SIGN CODE: Consider a re-
quest from the Chevron Station located at 1909 West Atlantic
Avenue for waiver of Section 4.6.7 (D)(3)(n)(i) of the Sign Code
to allow an increase from 12 square feet to 19.8 square feet per
sign face to advertise the price of gasoline at the facility.
Site Plan Review and Appearance Board recommends approval. Prior
to consideration of this request a public hearing has been sched-
uled to be held at this time.
Ms. Butler advised that the Code limits the size of the
letters on which the pricing is listed and the applicant is
requesting to exceed the Code by seven (7) square feet on that
size. Staff recommended that the waiver be denied.
Mark Paules, representing the applicant, advised that
the Code states that the price portion of the sign can be only
twelve (12) square feet. The overall square footage of the sign
meets the intent of the Code. All they want to do is give the
public a better opportunity to establish what the pricing is from
across the street. Discussion followed.
The public hearing was closed.
Dr. Alperin moved denial of the waiver. Motion died
for lack of a second.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to return the item to SPRAB,
requesting that they provide a rationale for their decision and
ask if this is going to be used to set a precedent or do they
want to draft a new ordinance, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth -
Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Dr. Alperin - No.
Said motion passed with a 3 to I vote.
10.C. ORDINANCE NO. 40-93: An ordinance amending the Land
Development Regulations to accommodate the ability to affix a
density suffix in the RM (Medium Density Residential) zone dis-
trict. Prior to consideration of passage of this ordinance on
Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been scheduled to
be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 40-93:
-16- 6/22/93
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING
SUBSECTION 4.4.6(H)(1) OF THE LAND DEVELOP-
MENT REGULATIONS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, TO PROVIDE

TRICT; AND TO FURTHER PROVIDE THAT THE DENSI-
TY WILL BE APPROVED BY THE BODY TAKING FINAL
ACTION ON THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION; PRO-
VIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER
CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

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.
Mr. Kovacs stated that this item was generated as a
potential solution to a problem that was raised earlier. The
proposed amendment would allow a numerical suffix to be affixed
to the RM zoning designation. The P&Z Board, on a vote of 5 to
2, recommended support of the con argument of not to go forward
and not to create the suffix approach. The two major reasons
were that there are sufficient controls, rules and regulations
currently in place to control intensive use in site plan approv-
al; and, that it is more appropriate to address the issue of
intensity at site plan approval when there is a wider range of
information available. He further commented that he supports the
recommendation.
Mr. Kovacs reminded the Commission that as they delib-
erate on this issue, there are two other ordinances; one to do
Club Delray at RM-8 or RM or not to do Club Delray at all.
Helen Coopersmith cautioned the Commission to consider
carefully before they vote.
Alice Fins~ stated she attended the meeting last night,
and it was her understanding that this was sent to the P&Z Board
so the Commission would have some direction on how to handle
these zonings in a range of six (6) to twelve (12). She feels
the point was missed as to the reason it was sent.
Alice Schultz, 1080 N.W. 19th Terrace, stated nothing
has been done regarding Articles in Cooperation, those restric-
tions that are placed on homeowners such as no parking of trucks,
etc. She questioned when this was going to take place. Mayor
Lynch responded that unfortunately, the laws are not written in
that way.

motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Lynch passed the gavel to Vice-Mayor Ellingsworth
and moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 39-93 on Second and
FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. ~andolph.
Upon question by Dr. Alperin, the City Attorney reiter-
ated that this ordinance is a straight RM zoning with no density
or suffixes attached. In other words, the Commission just previ-
ously approved the concept of an RM-8 suffix as a Code amendment,

eration does not contain that suffix.

Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the
Public-Immediately following Public Hearings.
ll.A.1. City Manager's response to prior public comments and
inquiries.
The City Manager responded to a question regarding
litter containers on West Atlantic Avenue by stating there are
three (3) containers in each block up to West 5th Avenue. The
additional containers ordered by the City have not all arrived at
this time; however, the balance of the containers will be placed
upon arrival. The plan is to place three (3) containers in each
block as they become available, probably within the next month.
ll.B. From the Public.
ll.B.1. Mr. Jerry Marshall, resident of Woodlake, stated that
it takes one minute/40 seconds to turn left coming out of
Homewood Boulevard onto Atlantic Avenue, and asked if there was
any way that this amount of time could be reduced.
ll.B.2. M~. Virginia Snyder, 38 S. Swinton Avenue. Delra¥
Beach, stated that she had learned of a serious drug bust in the
area south of S.W. 10th Street in a construction trailer inside
of a warehouse. Her concern is that nobody seems to be able to
find out any information about it. She felt there was no reason
for the secrecy and asked the City Manager to find out from Chief
Overman why this incident is being kept so secretive.
ll.B,3. MS. Alice Finst. 707 Place Tavan~, Delray Be~h, asked
that some arrangement be made so that the public is able to view
the visual displays that are presented to the Commission during
the meetings. She also expressed her thanks for rearranging the
seating in the conference room to better accommodate the public.
Ms. Finst stated that some time ago, the Commission had
discussed having an orientation for the advisory boards to give
them the Commission's point of view on various issues, and asked
if this had occurred. Mayor Lynch advised that this had been
done about a year ago.
Lastly, Ms. Finst commented on the condition of the
historic marker designating the City's Black historic sites. She
-21- 6/22/93
felt that it would take very little in the way of landscaping and
moving of the fence to solve the problem, and suggested that this
work be done before the beginning of the upcoming Roots Festival.

stood there will be a change in the NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
zone district to reduce the allowable commercial square footage
from 35,000 square feet down to 4,000 square feet; that any
commercial development will be internally located and not on a

9.I. RESOLUTION NO. 61-93/POLICE OVERTIME ISSUE: A resolu-
tion supporting the Roots Cultural Festival, Inc., in their
efforts to sponsor the Sixteenth Annual "Roots Cultural Festival"
in the City of Delray Beach on July 11 through August 13, 1993;
and, provide staff direction with regard to the police overtime
issue.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 61-93:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE
ROOTS CULTURAL FESTIVAL, INC., IN THEIR
EFFORTS TO SPONSOR THE SIXTEENTH ANNUAL
"ROOTS CULTURAL FESTIVAL" IN THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA.
(Copy of Resolution No. 61-93 is on file in the offi-
cial Resolution Book)
Assistant City Manager Barcinski stated a request has
been received from the Roots Committee to approve the resolution
in support of the activity, a request for $2,000 and other re-
quests that can be handled administratively. The other issue is
the police overtime pay, for which the committee is requesting
assistance.
Tommy Stevens, Chairperson for the Roots Cultural
Festival, stated he spoke with Major Lincoln regarding security
and was informed of the tremendous cost. However, Major Lincoln
indicated that he would proceed in the direction from staff and
the Commission. It is the goal of the Festival Committee to make
this a budget item and to have their own fund-raisers during the
year to fund this in the future.
The City Manager suggested having some volunteers on
the Committee assist with security with what could be called "Tee
Shirt Security" by having them identified by their tee shirts, in
order to work with the Police Officers and help reduce the work
force. Mr. Stevens commented that they would be most willing to
do that.
Mr. Randolph moved for the adoption of Resolution No.
61-93, subject to the direction to reassign officers as little as
possible with the help of the Festival's volunteers working with
the Police Department, but willingly support that reassignment,
seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr.
Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Dr. Alperin stated, for clarification, it was his
understanding that, for all occasions where the City would be
-24- 6/22/93
using Police overtime, specifically the Delray Affair and the
Roots Cultural Festival, the Commission had discussed this issue
last year and agreed not to expend these funds in the future.
Mayor Lynch agreed that next year a decision definitely needs to
be made.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
CONSIDERATION OF AMENDED PROPOSAL: Consider an amended
proposal to alleviate overcrowding at Atlantic Community High
School.
Assistant City Manager Barcinski explained the proposal
of the boundary changes that were made at the meeting he attended
with the School Board staff last week with regard to alleviating
the overcrowding at Atlantic High School. This proposal will be
considered by the School Board at a Workshop/Special Meeting on
June 30th. Their recommendation is that the City support the
proposal, provided that those students that will be attending
Olympic Heights will have an ESOL program this fall. Otherwise,
those students will be allowed to remain at Atlantic High School.
Discussion followed.
Dr. Alperin moved to approve the adoption of the June
22, 1993 letter of recommendation, in full, drafted by Assistant
City Manager Barcinski, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr.
Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

number of greens that were to be renovated should be I8 and the
second was the omission of the revenue receipts received last
September which totaled $66,787.00.
Brahm Dubin, Manager, stated the estimated total cost
for this project is $84,000 and is scheduled to take place in
September, if approved.

1. A~PROVAL OF ACTIONS TO PRQVIDE FOR IMPLEMENTATION
OF AGREEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY RESQ~UTION NO. 62-93:
Approve payment of membership fees in the amount of
$500 and take various other administrative actions in
conjunction with the implementation of the interlocal
agreements authorized by Resolution No. 62-'93. City
Manager recommends approval.
The City Manager stated there is one item that he
disagrees with, i.e., "Making a determination that formal City
Commission action is not required for the filing of an objec-
tion''. He feels it is inappropriate for the City Manager to have
that authority. He agrees with the position that if the City is
filing an objection against an amendment to another government's
local plan, that that step should be sanctioned by the City
Commission and not undertaken by the City Manager.
Dr. Alperin moved to delete the word "not" and to place
a period after the word objection, seconded by Mr. Randolph.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch -
Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
The City Manager further advised that with respect to
the last item, an alternate is also needed, in addition to the
appointment of a City Commission member to serve as a delegate on
the Multi-jurisdictional Issues Coordination Forum.
Upon question by Dr. Alperin, Mr. Kovacs stated this
meeting does not convene until October; however, should this be
an active group, this could be a monthly meeting. This position
must be held by an elected official and has a potential for being
a very important board.

13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items:
13.A. Commission
13.A.~.., Mr, Ellingswor~h asked what happens to the aban-
doned/junked vehicles after they are removed by action of the
City, and if the City realizes any profit from the process.
The City Manager advised that most abandoned vehicles
are now picked up by a company that purchases them after the
required legalities are met. However, the City loses money on
the process. He noted the resolution on tonight's agenda assess-
ing costs for the removal of abandoned vehicles from various
properties.
13.B.2. Mr. RandQlph had no comments.
13~B,3~ M~YOr Lynch asked that an extra waste basket be provid-
ed on the dais.
Mayor Lynch stated that he has received complaints from
residents on Brandt Drive in the Tropic Palms subdivision about
changing the name of the street since it was sold as part of the
street auction for Old School Square. The person who bought the
name has sold his house and moved, and the rest of the residents
don't want to change the name. The Mayor asked that the matter
be looked into, since complaints have also been received on two
or three of the other street names which were included in the
auction.
The City Manager stated the matter is being researched
and he will report back to the Commission.
13,A.4. Dr. Alperin stated that it has come to the attention of
the Drug Task Force that funding for drug treatment throughout
Palm Beach County is about to be significantly reduced, and it
appears that the South County will be disproportionately cut as
is often the case. If there is going to be a cut, he feels it
should be evenly balanced between North and South County, espe-
cially so that when funding comes back in the future, the South
-29- 6/22/93
County area will receive a proportionate amount rather than a
reduced amount. Dr. Alperin is trying to get additional statis-
tical data, but feels it is important for the southern part of
the County to impress the need for proportional funding to ad-
dress this problem.
I$.B, City Attorney. The City Attorney had no comments.
13,C, City Manager.
The City Manager stated at the last meeting there was
some discussion about the problem of the utility conflicts on
West Atlantic Avenue and whether conflict boxes should be built
at an additional cost of some $20,000 or just live with turning
off the water in the different areas. Starting at the canal, the
first section will be from Military Trail to Barwick Road, the
second will be from Barwick Road to Dover Road, the third area
will be Dover Road to Homewood Boulevard, the fourth will be from
Homewood Boulevard to Breezy Ridge and the fifth will be from
Breezy Ridge to the E-4 Canal and then to the Sudan Subdivision
for area six. Shutting it down would last for up to eight (8)
hours at each location. Discussion followed regarding the time
of day the water would be shut off.
The City Attorney advised the "boil" order will be in
effect making the tame involved somewhat longer and have more of
an impact on businesses. Mayor Lynch commented that if it could
possibly be done during the night, this would be better for
everybody.
The City Manager, in response to a question about a
plaque on the Jack L. Saunders bridge, stated there is a plaque
commemorating the dedication in his name on the north wall of the
bridge tender's building.
The City Manager stated the black olive trees that shed
leaves on the tennis court will be trimmed as much as possible
without destroying their shape.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 10:40
P.M.
