REGULAR AGENDA
9.A. Review of Appealable Land Development Actions of Various
Boards. The Commission is to consider accepting actions and decisions
made by the Planning and Zoning Board, Site Plan Review and Appearance
Board and the Historic Preservation Board during the period of March 13
through March 25, 1991.
Dr. Alperin moved to accept the report of the Appealable Land
Development Actions, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr.
Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, the City Attorney stated the Planning and
Zoning Board's denial of the request for a zoning change from Single
Family to Community Facilities for the Seagate Hotel and Beach Club,
requires Commission action. The authority to grant or deny rezoning
requests is with the Commission, therefore, an ordinance will be placed
on the April 9th agenda for First Reading, at which time the Commission
will officially take action on this item.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Lynch referred back to Item 8.F., sludge disposal,
questioning if it would be more appropriate to allow the new Director
the opportunity to agree or not agree before the Commission passes this
item. He also expressed concern about bringing a new person on board
and committing him to a three year contract.
The City Attorney stated the Director would have to live with a
lot of prior commitments.
9.B. Conditional Use Approval. The Commission is to consider a
request for conditional use approval to establish a commercial passenger
loading area and boat ticket sales on the east side of Palm Square, just
south of East Atlantic Avenue. Planning and Zoning recommends approval
(6-1 vote). Historic Preservation Board recommends denial; Community
Redevelopment Agency recommends approval, subject to conditions.
Dominic DePonte, 24 Marine Way, stated he feels, as a point of
order, that the application has technically been withdrawn.
The City Attorney advised it was the City's position to remove
that item from the agenda prior to consideration.
David Kovacs, Planning and Zoning Director, stated the item
before the Commission is a Conditional Use request on property which is
already zoned as CBD (Central Business District). Prior to the
-7- 3/26/91
Conditional Use request, there was a need to provide additional parking.
The requests are for approval to have a ticket booth and passenger
loading area in that CBD area. As conditions to the request, the
applicant has to obtain permits or get letters from various agencies
permitting the boat operation in that area, or stating there is no
jurisdiction or concern. Also, as a part of the request, it is neces-
sary to provide additional parking.
Mr. Mouw stated this issue is a waste of time for the Commis-
sion and they should not have been put in this position.
Dr. Alperin questioned if the boat is appropriate for that
property. Determining how the neighborhood will be affected and if
certain conditions are met, it could become an acceptable use. There
are a lot of questions, but not enough answers. Having a boat at that
area is not offensive providing the conditions are satisfied.
Mr. Randolph stated he would have no problem with the boat
docking north of east Atlantic Avenue, but he feels there is a problem
with the boat docking south of Atlantic Avenue.
Mr. Andrews stated he hopes the Commission would look at the
entire length of Palm Square and decide if this has a meaningful impact
to the redevelopment of the downtown. He recommended this item should
be discussed at a future workshop.
Mayor Lynch stated he does not see this as an economic liabili-
ty to downtown. He would like to see it on the north side, on a tempo-
rary basis, to see what the actual occurrences are. The traffic prob-
lems that are associated with it are totally linked to a restaurant;
therefore, if things don't go well with the restaurant, what will happen
to the boat and dock. There are too many variables.
Digby Bridges, agent, stated this issue should have been a
presentation to show what it can mean to the downtown area. This is a
CBD District and has always been a CBD District. All the appropriate
parts of the zoning code have been put into this plan.
Dane Mark, Captain and owner of Stillwater Cruises, stated, for
the record, he would like to clear an erroneous story that was in the
newspaper stating the restaurant was putting the boat into the water.
Stillwater Cruises is in no way tied to the restaurant.
Dr. Alperin stated there are too many ifs at this point and
would like the Commission to see a complete package.
Mr. Andrews stated his concern was the noise, but it can be
dealt with on a trial basis.
Dr. Alperin moved to postpone this issue to be followed up
after a workshop, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin -
Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
-8- 3/26/91
It was the consensus of the Commission to place this issue on
the workshop agenda for April 16, 1991.

Jeep Eagle sign. He could have the sign, but it would have to be

that the Jeep would be in compliance, but the owner does not wish to do
that.

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. 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.
Mayor Lynch stated he is opposed to Ordinance 30-91, as it
would mean the Historic Preservation Board could designate a property
with the owner being against it, and it would take four (4) Commission
votes to approve it. He stated the Historic Preservation Board should
not be able to designate property without the owners permission.
Dr. Alperin stated the Historic Preservation Board does not
designate an historic site. The Historic Preservation Board makes a
nomination to the City Commission and the City Commission has the final
say.
The City Manager stated that if the owner objects, the property
can always be designated if four (4) members of the City Commission
voted in favor of it.
Mr. Randolph moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 30-91 on

PUBLIC COMMENT
ll.A.1. Jerry Kleiner, President of Town and Country Condos, stated,
with regard to the Stormwater adjustments, there is a disparity of
charges between condos.
Mayor Lynch recommended Mr. Kleiner discuss this matter with
Rob Taylor.
ll.A.2. Lorraine Kasper, 3000 Spanish Trail, stated the City needs to
streamline calls for reporting violations and enforce the sprinkling
water restrictions.
ll.A.3. Benjamin Baldwin, 522 Lawrence Road, Guardians President,
stated his group would strongly prefer a black police chief, but would
be satisfied with someone who has had years of experience as a chief.
He stated the Guardians have drawn up a five-year plan to make the
department more sensitive to minorities and they feel it would be
beneficial to the City.
ll.A.4. Murray Kalish, 6201 Stanley Lane, stated he would like to speak
on the issue of the proposed car wash and Shell Station on the corner of
Military Trail and Atlantic Avenue.
Mayor Lynch advised Mr. Kalish that this issue is an agenda
item but he will be allowed to speak when it comes up.
ll.A.5. Jack Babich, 14796 Bonaire Blvd, stated he would also like to
speak on the issue of the car wash and Shell Station.
-14- 3/26/91
Mayor Lynch advised Mr. Babich that he, too, will be allowed to
speak when it comes up.
ll.A.6. Murray Donnazita, 2115 N.W. 15th Place, gave the Mayor and
Commissioners a letter relative to a 1986 permit for installing windows
in his home.
Mayor Lynch recommended the City Manager get a copy of the
letter from Mr. Donnazita and have staff look into the matter.
ll.A.7. Pastor L.C. Johnson, Community Churches United, stated the city
should hire a Police Chief who will be sensitive and knowledgeable about
minority issues. He further stated the City needs a Police Chief who is
concerned about achieving a racial balance and consideration within the
department.
ll.A.8. Mark O'Neill, 49 N.W. 10th Avenue, stated he was very concerned
about the Police Department. He feels people should be given a second
chance; they deserve the same respect and consideration as the police
expect.
ll.A.9. Willie May Cook, 318 N.W. 1st Avenue, stated on February 13,
1991, her children went to Parker's Kitchen( located on the corner of
7th Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard) to get an order of food. An officer
approached them and arrested her son. She feels it is terrible that kids
cannot go to Parker's Kitchen to eat without being arrested.
ll.A.10. Virginia Snyder, 38 S. Swinton Avenue, spoke of a woman who was
injured by a police officer. Lieutenant Muscoe went to the woman's
house and informed her to keep all of her medical receipts and they
would be taken care of.
The public portion was closed.
The City Manager expressed his concern about the use of foul
language and excessive force by police officers. The City has a com-
plaint process that people need to follow in order to eliminate the
officers who are abusive and who curse people. Witnesses have to be
willing to submit a complaint in order for the City to go through the
investigation process. Police officers have rights under the Police-
men's Bill of Rights and they have to follow certain procedures.
Mayor Lynch stated the City Manger and Interim Chief Lincoln
will be looking into this matter and hopefully it will soon be resolved.
He also recommended not having this issue blown out of perspective and
respect the police officers who are doing a good job.
