7:30 P.M. at .Carver Middle School for the purpose of organizing and
getting the community involved in the program.
7.B. Perry DonFrancisco, representing the Kids and Cops program,
along with Delray Citizens for Delray Police, recognized those persons
comprising the committee and their accomplishments. The primary duty of
this committee is to strengthen the relationship between the local youth
and the members of the Delray Beach Police Department. The program will
emphasize activities for improving the quality of life in the area of
education, personal responsibility, building self-esteem and consequenc-
es and alternatives to crime and drugs. Currently those events include
field trips, counseling, special events and athletic activities. Those
events planned for 1992 include the third annual bike auction, the
spring bash egg hunt, a polo match at the Boca Raton Polo Club and an
overnight camping trip at Quiet Waters Park this summer. He then
presented a short video of the program and the sponsors.
Mr. DonFrancisco introduced Officer Jeffrey Miller, of the
Delray Beach Police Department and Cathy Hazard, from Leadership Cable
TV, who were instrumental in conducting the very successful toy drive
this year. He then presented a check in the amount of $2,132 to Joe
Dragon, Director of the after-school program at the Department of Parks
and Recreation, for the purchase of skill building academic toys. He
expressed his thanks to all those people involved.
Mr. DonFrancisco stated this will be the third annual bike
auction for the organization, but they seem to have a meager supply of
stolen bikes, so he requested the Commission consider allowing those
funds to be made available to pay for the overnight camping trip at
Quiet Waters Park this summer and, perhaps, for summers to come.

that area.
-7- 1/14/92

wanted.

made by the Planning and Zoning Board, Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board and the Historic Preservation Board during the period December 10,
1991 through January 10, 1992.
Dr. Alperin stated he has one item to appeal, the elimination
of landscaping adjacent to the dining deck, in order that the Commission
might understand what happened at an Historic Preservation Meeting
regarding a Certificate of Appropriateness for Brandy's Waterside Cafe.
He requested that this be reviewed at the upcoming Regular Commission
Meeting.
Mr. Andrews stated he has a problem with the SPRAB approval of

sion voted as follows: Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews -

Commission is to consider an appeal of a Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board decision approving the landscape plan and architectural elevations
associated with the addition of a 36 square foot walk-in freezer at
Dunkin Donuts located on Federal Highway and Tropic Boulevard.
-9- 1/14/92
Dr. Alperin stated he has a concern when members of the commu-
nity contact him noting conflicts in the interest of the City, i.e.~ a
request for a change on a parcel of property comes before the Commission
while significant Code violations exist. He questioned if the Commis-
sion really should make decisions regarding new approvals when these
former conditions continue to exist.
Mayor Lynch expressed the hope that the operator of Dunkin
Donuts contacts the owner of the property and convinces him to correct
the Code violations. Upon question by Mayor Lynch, David Kovacs,
Planning Director advised that the owner of the property was not noti-
fied that this item would be discussed at this Commission meeting.
Dr. Alperin moved to postpone this item, seconded by Mr.
Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin
- Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr.
Mouw - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Mr. Kovacs questioned if the Commission would like to consider
giving direction to this item and other policy issues at the February
4th Workshop or at the next Regular Commission meeting. The Commission
concurred to place this and other related policy items on the Workshop
for February 4th.
9.C. Consideration of Initiation of Action - Lakeview Golf Course.
The Commission is to consider initiating action affecting the Land Use
Plan designation or zoning designation of the Lakeview Golf Course.
The City Manager stated the primary reason for this issue is
because the land is shown in one classification on the Future Land Use
Map and in a totally different classification on the Zoning Map. Those
two must be brought into agreement and among the variations available
are obtaining options on the property, acquiring the golf course and
turning it into a public course or allowing for the Transfer of Develop-
ment Rights.
Dr. Alperin stated he does not consider 'the right of refusal'
as one of the options, as it does nothing to protect the people in-
volved. He stated he was hoping the purchase option would be a serious
consideration but, apparently, the price seems to be too costly for
financing to pay off the bond on its own. He would like to have more
information provided.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch regarding the "Development Rights
Transfer", the City Manager stated the right to develop those residen-
tial units would be transferred to another location within the City.
Upon question as to the total number of units that could be developed,
Mr. Kovacs responded it is in the range of ninety units.
The City Attorney stated he would like to make clear an assump-
tion that he has previously tried to clear up; there is no taking of
property by virtue of Residential Zoning or Open Space, allowing the
golf course to remain as an appropriate use. In order to enter into
Transfer of Development Rights, the City would need to get something of
-10- 1/14/92
value from the owners in exchange for the development rights. If the
City wants to explore the possibility of purchasing the property, then a
discussion should be held regarding appropriate value, whether or not
there is a market for Transfer of Development Rights and if it is
appropriate. If the City is considering acquiring an option on the
property, perhaps a Transfer of Development Rights might be appropriate.
Upon question, Mr. Kovacs stated a decision should have been
made twenty years ago as to whether it would perpetually be a golf
course or that it would be a development and all actions following that
decision should have been consistent.
The City Manager commented that a closer look needs to be made
regarding the purchase option if the Commission is serious about that.
Mr. Randolph expressed the feeling that he was not in favor of
the purchase option.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch regarding the release of all
necessary information to the City and/or a consultant of the City's
choosing, David Schmidt, Attorney for the owners of Lakeview, responded
that his clients had an appraisal made for development purposes but
there was no appraisal made regarding golf course use, due to the cost
involved. He further stated that they would be willing to open the
books in order to help the Commission make a determination; however, he
would request that they exercise a non-disclosure policy of those
documents until such time as the Commission reaches a decision.
Upon direction by the Commission, the City Manager stated he
will explore the possibility of acquiring the property, the cost in-
volved, obtaining an appraisal and critique of the current appraisal
made for the owners of the golf course. The City Attorney stated staff
will explore the development rights, the appraisal and how this can be
funded.
Christiane Mende, Lakeview Townhomes, questioned, with regard
to developmental rights, if this means compensating the owners for
changing the zoning. The City Attorney responded that changing the
zoning does not require the City to compensate the owner. An involve-
ment in Transfer of Development Rights is an offset of the cash con-
sideration in the event of a purchase or an option to purchase. He
further advised that the owners of the golf course will not be compen-
sated, one way or the other.
A resident commented that he shares the frustration of the
Commission, but feels that they should admit that the City took the
liberty to reclassify this property as 'Open Space' in the Land Use Plan
without informing anyone and suggested that this Land Use be changed
back to Residential, as it was originally.
Mayor Lynch commented that he, personally, feels the City
basically initiated the 'Open Space' and that it should return to
Residential and proceed from there. He also feels the land will always
be more valuable as a golf course as opposed to a development.
-11- 1/14/92
The City Manager advised that he will have more information for
the Commission at the Regular Meeting on January 21st regarding acquisi-
tion and appraisal costs.
Eugenie Amalfitano, resident, questioned the status of those
persons who relied on the Land Use Plan when they recently purchased
property. The City Attorney stated the maps in existence regarding Land
Use and Zoning indicate there will be a process that must be followed if
something different is going to take place; it does not guarantee that
there will never be a change of zoning or land use.
Mayor Lynch stated there has been a request from the floor to
consider Item No. 9.F. on the Regular Agenda at this time.
Mr. Randolph moved that the Commission consider Item No. 9.F.
as opposed to proceeding to the Public Hearing portion of the agenda,
seconded by Mr. Mouw. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw -
Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.F. Request for Conditional Use Approval. The Commission is to
consider a request for conditional use approval for the expansion of the
South County Mental Health Facility located on the southeast corner of
Linton Boulevard and Military Trail, just south of the Boca Ray Plaza.
Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval (4-2 vote), subject to the
following conditions:
1. That a site plan be submitted that conforms with the Land
Development Regulations and generally conforms with the sketch
plan.
2. That a boundary plat be submitted to accompany the site
plan.
3. That preliminary engineering drawings be submitted to
accompany the site.
Mr. Kovacs stated one of the main concerns was with regard to
the people who will be living in the new Phase II project and the
constriction of movement on the site. The conditions of approval
include fencing on the north and south boundaries with bougainvilla
hedging so any movement off the site must occur through the street
system or through the drive access systems only.
Ben Toole, Billie Linville, Spencer Pompey and Jean Harris
spoke in favor of the conditional use request, as approved by the Plan-
ning and Zoning Board.
David Klarer, Council of Communities, stated he would like to
make it clear that they are not opposed to this facility; however, they
are requesting the installation of a six-foot chain link fence on the
south, north and east end of the property.
-12- 1/14/92
Saul Weinberger, President of the Del-Aire Homeowners Associa-
tion, stated he feels there is a lack of supervision at this facility
and would like some assurance that this will be corrected prior to

Subdivision. Consideration is recommended. Prior to consideration of
passage of this item, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at
this time.
The City Attorney stated this parcel was deeded, in fee simple,
to the City at the time the Hamlet subdivision was approved. Mr.
Malooley, who lives in the Sherwood Park subdivision, has expressed an
interest in purchasing this parcel and the extension of Dover Road.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida. The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Mouw questioned if Mr. Malooley would be permitted to
develop this property. The City Attorney responded that Mr. Malooley
owns the adjacent lot on which he has a single family home. If the
property should be replatted, it could be converted into a lot of
buildable size; however, Mr. Malooley's present intent is the possible
expansion of his current residence along with some landscaping.
Mr. Mouw stated he feels it would be an asset to the City if
Mr. Malooley follows through with his present plan and signs a Unity of
Title making that a portion of Lot 12 forever and he would be in favor
of this. The City Attorney stated Mr. Malooley is quite willing to sign
a Unity of Title and enter into an agreement to maintain certain land-
scaping on the property and the right-of-way. Discussion followed.

FIRST READINGS
12.A. Ordinance No. 1-92. Ordinance No. 1-92, rezoning the O.C.
Taylor Dealership located on S.E. 5th Avenue, between S.E. 6th and 7th
Streets from GC (General Commercial) to AC (Automotive Commercial), is
before the Commission for consideration on First Reading. Planning and
Zoning Board recommends denial. If passed, Public Hearing will be held
February llth.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 1-92:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, REZONING AND PLACING LAND
PRESENTLY ZONED GC (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT IN AC
(AUTOMOTIVE COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT; SAID LAND BEING
LOTS 19 THROUGH 27, BLOCK 11, OSCEOLA PARK, ACCORDING
TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 3, PAGE 2,
OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA,
AND BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; AND
AMENDING "ZONING DISTRICT MAP, DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
1990"; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING
A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Assistant City Attorney Tolces read the caption of the ordi-
nance.
Robert Federspiel, representing O.C. Taylor Motors, Inc.,
stated he would like to correct the documentation from the Planning
Department where it was noted that the vote was 7-0 against instead of a
vote of 4-2 against, with Ms. Parker and Mr. Krall dissenting. This
rezoning is necessary to correct an error that occurred when the City
conducted a City-wide rezoning on the adoption of the LDRs. The basic
concern is that, in the future, procedurally, in a case where the City
is downzoning property, actual notice to each property owner should be
considered. Had that happened, he would not be appearing before the
Commission tonight. He is requesting that this property be returned to
the appropriate zoning it should have received. The position held by
staff at the P&Z meeting was that under the LDRs, in order to obtain a
rezoning on the basis of an error, it had to be a result of an over-
sight. He feels that this is totally in error. The LDRs provide that
the Commission has an opportunity to correct any errors that occur.
Upon question by Dr. Alperin, Mr. Kovacs stated he feels there
was no mistake, as everything south of downtown to 10th was removed from
-16- 1/14/92
the SC zoning district, with the exception of the Fronrath Dealerships.
Upon submission of letters and arguments presented to the Commission by
Mr. Wallace and Mr. Weiner, they then allowed the AC zoning. Discussion

Reading, seconded by Mr. Andrews.
Jean Beer, member of the Planning and Zoning Board, stated the
proposal was to have allowed banners in the City for all businesses.
Upon taking a further look at it, it was learned that the Code violation
would make it so costly and unworkable for the Code Enforcement Board
that banners should be eliminated completely, as they seem to be nothing
but a problem.
Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated this is
taking the language out of the AC zoning district. The City Manager
stated language will continue to remain in the Sign Code, allowing
banners under certain circumstances.

ment.

Beach, representing Shell Oil Company, stated the new proposal is to
move the facility back to the south property line, utilizing the full
site, opening a line of sight at the intersection and eliminating one
ingress/egress point on both Military Trail and Atlantic Avenue. The
proposal also reflects very substantial landscaping. Concerns with
respect to traffic, both offsite and onsite have been addressed. For
the record, he advised that a study was made by their former Traffic
Engineer for a period from January 1, 1989 to January 1, 1991, during
which time there were 101 accidents reported at this intersection;
however, not one of those accidents occurred upon entering or exiting

traffic issue regarding upcoming improvements at the intersection of
Atlantic Avenue and Military Trail. She also discussed traffic flow
associated with the car wash and the mini-mart.
Ralph Nichols, former owner of the property, endorsed the Shell
proposal and hopes the Commission will recognize the historical signi-
ficance of this location.
John Prescott, lessee of the Shell Station at the intersection
of Congress and Atlantic Avenues, stated he is of the opinion that Shell
Oil Company does not invest one or two million dollars in a location

this location.

reclamation system will be approximately 75% to 80% efficient. Dr.
Alperin expressed concern, since the last mention was 85% to 90%.
Mr. Mouw moved for approval of a request for conditional use
approval for the Shell Oil station on the southeast corner of Atlantic
Avenue and Military Trail, with the condition that the most efficient
reclamation system be installed, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll

It is his recommendation that the Commission award this bid in order
that the project may proceed and be completed.
Mr. Mouw commented that at the last workshop meeting he had
questioned the truck traffic, what was proposed for backup and if the
trucks could use the alleys; he was led to believe that staff would
research and present those findings to the Commission.
Mr. Mouw moved to table this item, seconded by Mr. Lynch.

nounced that he would be abstaining.
-24- 1/14/92
The City Attorney stated there were four bidders for this
project, with the only bidder fully complying with all bid requirements
being the highest. The bid submitted by Ledbetter Electric did not
comply due to information the City requested that each bidder supply,
who, in turn, would obtain this information from the manufacturer.
Ledbetter's manufacturer was GE, who felt the information being re-
quested was proprietary and refused to release it. The Commission then
decided to waive that deficiency and award the contract to Ledbetter
Electric. Due to the receipt of a bid protest from Power Associates,
Inc., the Commission did not grant the waiver.
The City Attorney stated the options available to the Commis-
sion are: 1) to award the Contract to the high bidder in the amount of
$67,000, because they were the only bidder that fully complied with the
requirements; 2) the waiver that has been granted to Ledbetter Electric
could be expanded to waive the bond and award the contract to them; 3)
the Commission could request information from the low bidder as to
whether they were actually speaking about one of the approved manufac-
turers, and, who is in the same situation as the second low bidder; or,
4) it can be rebid.
Mr. Mouw moved to award the contract to Ledbetter Electric on
the basis that 1) they agree that their product meets the design perfor-
mance specifications as laid out, and, 2) that they forego progress
payments on this project and accept a one lump sum payment at comple-
tion, seconded by Mr. Andrews. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes; Vice-Mayor Randolph -
Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
