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 September
24, 1991 through October 7, 1991.
Dr. Alperin moved to receive and file the report, seconded by
Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor
Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
9.B. Request for Extension of Site Plan Approval. The Commission is
to consider a request from the owner of the Delray Bay Apartments for an
extension of a site plan approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the following construction schedule be maintained and that
failure to meet any of the dates shall result in the voiding of
this approval and termination of the project:
A. That site preparation work commence in the field prior to
December 1, 1991.
B. That site improvement work commence, under permit, prior
to January 15, 1992.
C. That building construction commence, under permit, prior
to April 1, 1992.
D. That the 25% "establishment" requirement be met by August
1, 1992.
2. That should this approval become void, the applicant acknow-
ledges that the project cannot be reinstated or reestablished
due to density conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan.
David Kovacs, Director of Planning, stated the corporation in
control of the property has commenced site clearing and grubbing work.
Under the Code of Ordinances, it is now appropriate to consider granting
an extension. The four (4) dates have been set, as it is important that
the project continues to go forward upon approval of the extension.
-5- 10/08/91
Dr. Alperin moved to grant a six-month extension, as presented,
with the two conditions recommended by the Planning Director, seconded
by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
9.C. Appeal of Planning and Zoning Board Decision. The Commission
is to consider a request for appeal of a Planning and Zoning Board
decision denying a preliminary plat request to subdivide Block 1, Lots 1
and 2, Swinton Oaks (Griffin Gate), into six individual lots.
Mr. Kovacs stated a concept plan was presented to the CRA that
would change the plat to a ten lot subdivision. He further stated the
Commission has three options; one is to deny the appeal for the six lot
subdivision, secondly, the appeal to waive the processing fee can be
denied and third, the revised submission can be accepted, thereby
keeping the initial application active.
Mayor Lynch stated it is his understanding that this was
originally to be a rental complex and it was the recommendation of the
P&Z Board that it be an owner-occupied project. Mr. Kovacs stated the
finding of the P&Z Board was that a single family or duplex development
was not an appropriate land use being located'next to a multi-family
project to the south, a drug abuse foundation to the west and a commer-
cial/industrial project to the east.
Fred Griffin, applicant, stated that everything that has been
done meets or exceeds the City requirements and he would like an oppor-
tunity to comment after the CRA explains the concept plan.
Mayor Lynch questioned why the Commission is reviewing this
concept plan and being asked to make a determination before the P&Z
Board has had an opportunity to look at it.
Mr. Kovacs responded that the basis of the denial by the P&Z
Board was the inappropriateness of single family or duplex development
on individual lots. Should the Commission be inclined to say that such
a land use is appropriate, and that the concerns of landscaping and
design are appropriate, the appeal can be denied and the applicant
allowed to commence; or the plan can be remanded to the P&Z Board.
The City Attorney stated it is his understanding that the
proposed submittal is not a change in the land use, and questioned,
should the P&Z Board be approached showing mitigations in the form of
landscaping, and the P&Z Board accepted the change, would the Commission
be supportive of that.
Upon discussion, the City Attorney advised the Commission that
the Code of Ordinances does not allow the City to mandate owner-occupied
duplexes as opposed to tenant-occupied properties.
Chris Brown, Director of Community Redevelopment Agency, stated
he and Mr. Griffin met to discuss this affordable housing and the CRA is
in favor of the plan they have submitted and are willing to compromise.
-6- 10/08/91
Dr. Alperin moved to deny the appeal, based on the good and
substantial causes presented by the P&Z Board and waive a new $500 fee,
seconded by Mr. Mouw. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - No; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
9.D. Appeal of Historic Preservation Board Decision. The Commission
is to consider an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board action with
regard to the Sundy House and Sundy Apartments Composite Site Plan.
Dr. Alperin moved to deny the appeal for further reduction of
right-of-way and, concurrently, direct that an encroachment permit be
allowed wherein a screening hedge may be located within the right-of-way
(up to a maximum of a three foot encroachment) and that the hedge may be
removed by the City at a future date, if it becomes necessary and
appropriate to do so, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes;
Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0
vote.
9.E. Request for Variance. The Commission is to consider a request
for a variance to allow a dock to remain as built, without the construc-
tion of sewage pump out, at 710 S.E. 8th Court. City Engineer recom-
mends approval.
Mr. Mouw questioned why the City continues to retain this
pumpout requirement for a single family dock if it is not enforced. He
feels it should be removed from the Land Development Regulations. Mr.
Kovacs responded that this goes back a long way and if it is going to
continue to be waived, it should be removed.
Mayor Lynch expressed concern regarding the waiver, since it
appears the same owner contracted for construction of the dock in 1989
and the contractor did not bother to obtain a permit.
Mr. Randolph questioned how the initial pilings were installed
without obtaining a permit from the City. The City Manager stated that
it was learned about, the job was stopped, the contractor was required
to obtain a permit and pay a triple fee and certain portions of the work
were torn out and replaced in compliance with City Code.
Upon question by Mayor Lynch, Mark Gabriel, City Engineer,
stated the applicant has been instructed to install the ladders of the
sewage pump. He further stated approximately two years ago the Federal
Government dictated that boats could no longer discharge their sewage
overboard and required that pumpout facilities be installed. He assured
him that, at this time, it was added to the City Code.
Mr. Mouw moved to grant the variance. Motion died for lack of
a second.
Mayor Lynch passed the gavel to Vice-Mayor Randolph.
-7- 10/08/91
Mr. Lynch moved to deny the request for a variance, seconded by
Mr. Randolph. (Vice-Mayor Randolph passed the gavel' to Deputy
Vice-Mayor Alperin, in order to second the motion). Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - No; Deputy
Vice-Mayor Alperin - No; Mr. Randolph - Yes. Said motion FAILED with a
2 to 2 vote.
9.F. Resolution No. 79-91. Resolution No. 79-91, requesting the
transfer of jurisdictional powers from Palm Beach County to the City for
that right-of-way of Dixie Highway which extends from N.E. 8th Street to
Gulfstream Boulevard, is before the Commission for consideration.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 79-91:

BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING THE TRANSFER OF THE JURISDIC-
TIONAL POWERS FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY TO THE CITY OF

follows: Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor
Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
9.G. Lake Ida Road Widening. The Commission is to consider a
proposal from Heller-Weaver and Cato for the design of the proposed
widening project for Lake Ida Road from N.E. 2nd Avenue and Swinton
Avenue.
Upon question, the City Engineer stated the project will be
going to N.E. 3rd Avenue in order to install turning lanes, etc.
Dr. Alperin moved for approval of the proposal, seconded by Mr.
Mouw. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin -
Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
9.H. Approval of Contract with Michael B. Schorah and Associates.
The Commission is to consider approval of the contract for general and
civil engineering services with Michael B. Schorah and Associates, Inc.,
and Service Authorization No. 1 in the amount of $17,460 with funding
from 1987 Utility Tax/Cemetery Entrance Road (Account No.
333-4511-539-61.39).
Dr. Alperin questioned~ with regard to the Consulting Service
Authorization, if the City is contracting with full construction super-
vision, or will there be new charges appearing as it progresses. The
City Attorney stated the language in the contract should be amended to
-8- 10/08/91
relate to language in the contract documents which explains what that
Consulting Service is.
The City Engineer stated the engineering firm will be sending a
Resident Project Representative, not an inspector, on a part-time basis
to observe the work and basically provide insurance to the City that the
work is being constructed in conformance to their plans and specifi-
cations. On completion of the job, they will supply the City with
certain certifications that the work was constructed in conformance to
those plans and specifications.
Mr. Randolph moved for approval of the contract with Michael B.
Schorah and Associates, Inc., and to approve Service Authorization No. 1
for the access road, S.W. 10th Street, to the cemetery, seconded by Dr.
Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph

PUBLIC HEARINGS
10.A. Ordinance No. 74-91. Ordinance No. 74-91, adopting a portion
of Comprehensive Plan 91-1 by amending the Future Land Use Map from
General Commercial to Transitional for a parcel of land lying and being
on the southeast corner of Linton Boulevard and South Federal Highway,
known as Amendment #2, Old Harbor Office Center, is before the Commis-
sion for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. Prior to considera-
tion of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public
hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
Dr. Alperin stated that he and possibly others of the Commis-
sion may have considered a separation of this item from the remainder of
the Plan Amendment 90-91 when presented with a potential project involv-
ing this property. Earlier, he was led to believe that the corporate
headquarters for Office Depot was going to relocate in Delray Beach and
he was in favor of separating that section for that particular building
to hear their presentation, which never happened. Secondly, after
telephoning, he was informed that they had never considered that.
Therefore, he sees no reason to retain the zoning of that property as
Commercial, but have it changed to Transitional.

nance Book)
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.
Mr. Kovacs stated this is the second amendment to the document
that was adopted in 1989 and amended in 1990. This document is the
amended package that was sent to the State and was reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Board earlier this year. The Department of Com-
munity Affairs submitted the Objections, Recommendations and Comments
(O.R.C.) report that included ten (10) objections. Staff addressed
those objections at the P&Z meeting of September 16th and forwarded the
"Response to the O.R.C. Report" complete with a recommendation that
changes and modifications be incorporated with Plan Amendment 91-1. The
State must notify the City within 45 days with regard to their decision.
If the City is not notified within that time frame, it is automatically
considered in compliance. He explained Exhibits "B" and "C" to the
Commission in addition to the ten (10) objections.
Lynn Stokes, 1220 Southways, stated it is interesting to see
that the City is looking for a home for Lake Ida Road beautification in
the five-year capital improvement funding schedule, especially since it
was one of the projects that was to be paid for out of the $1.27 million
1987 Utility Tax Bond funds that are being reallocated.
Kathy Stokes, resident, stated she would like to speak about
the 1987 Utility Tax Bond and the park improvements cluster. She
expressed concern regarding the combining of three parks, none of which
are specifically named. It is her understanding that the Bond Issue
included $500,000 for Veterans Park improvements. She feels the current
plans for Veterans Park are inconsistent with the intent of the Comp
Plan.
Arthur Jackel, resident, stated he is in agreement with Mr.
Stokes and also fears that Lake Ida Road may never be widened. He feels
staff should be directed to locate the funds in order that the beauti-
fication can proceed whether or not the road is widened.
The public hearing was closed.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, MAKING APPROPRIATIONS OF SUMS
OF MONEY FOR ALL NECESSARY EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE 1ST DAY

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.
Lynn Stokes again addressed the reuse of the 1987 Utility Tax
Revenue Bond Issue. He stated it is his understanding, upon a prelim-
inary investigation, that the City is nearing a point where it will be
difficult to borrow money and his concern, regarding the allocation of
the $1.27 million to capital projects, arises out of that fact. He
feels that, if an increase in taxable value is not seen in the City
soon, decisions will need to be made regarding which projects can be
funded and which ones cannot.
The City Manager stated he feels there seems to be some mis-
understanding, but in Resolution No. 70-91 adopting the millage, it
states in Section 3 that if the final tax roll differs from the tax roll
on which the budget is based by more than three (.3) percent, the City
Commission has the authority to change the millage to compensate for
that difference in the tax roll.
Kathy Stokes recommended that $330,000 of the $1.27 million be
used to make one principal payment, due next year, and eliminate the
concern about being short this year.
The City Manager advised that the 1987 Utility Tax Bond Issue
is not callable until 1995 and, should it be prepaid, it would be
necessary to pay additional premiums in 1995 in order to call it at that
time.
David Klarer, 2425 N.W. 15th Street, questioned if Fire Station
No. 5 is in danger of being removed or moved back. Mayor Lynch respond-
ed that, to his knowledge it is still on target for January, but if the
appeals from the tax collector's office are successful, it is possible
that there may be a shortfall in the budget and it would certainly need
to be taken under consideration.
The public hearing was closed.

explained that rezoning was not the issue tonight, but the postponement
of road improvements until 1992/1993.
Mayor Lynch suggested that the concerns of the people be
listened to and then request the P&Z Board to determine whether or not
-14- 10/08/91
those concerns are appropriate enough to consider rezoning, give a
recommendation for the City to look at in the future or whether the CRA
should consider extending the boundaries. He further recommended that
Mr. Womack contact Chris Brown, Director of the CRA, and request him to
schedule a meeting.

wife have been members of the Municipal Golf Course for the past 13
years. While being delighted that the golf course has undergone exten-
sive improvements over the past three (3) months, he is aware that at
least a year will be needed for the course to mature. He objected to

additional fee to enter the tournament scheduled for October 18th when
the annual membership does not expire until November 1st.

He would like the ordinance brought before a workshop as soon as possi-
ble in order that it might be reviewed.
13.A.2. Mayor Lynch stated he has been asked by the Town of Highland
Beach, some of the County Commissioners and Steve Abrams, who is the
City's representative to the Municipal League, if the Commission could
reach a consensus and fax to him by tomorrow morning their position
regarding five constitutional officers that are in the County that do
-20- 10/08/91
no~ fall under County Commission, as follows: the Supervisor of
Elections, the Clerk of the Court, the Property Appraiser's Office, the
Sheriff's Office and the Tax Collector's Office. They would like to
direct Steve Abrams to try and have the State Legislature change that to
bring them under the rule of the County Commission. He proceeded to
read a letter he had drafted for submission to the Municipal League,
which included a revision of the Homestead issue.
The Commission concurred regarding the five (5) constitutional
offices, but requested that the Homestead issue be deleted at this time.
13.A.3. Mayor Lynch commented that there has been considerable conver-
sation regarding the fluoride issue and, since William Greenwood,
Director of Environmental Services, recently attended a meeting in West
Palm Beach, he would like to hear his report before giving any further
direction to staff regarding this issue.
13.A.4. Mayor Lynch continued by reiterating his concern regarding the
traffic signals throughout the City.
13.A.5. Mayor Lynch stated there is a letter that was received from the
U.S. Conference of Mayor's, requesting each City to submit ideas that

that Congress could do. If anyone has any thoughts in this area, please

now and December.
13.A.8. Mr. Mouw stated, in reference to Item 8.0.4 on the Consent
Agenda, concerning the activated carbon control unit for Veterans Park
Pumping Station, that he hopes the new design will control this odor in
the future.
13.A.9. Mr. Mouw stated he heard a comment, or rumor, to the effect
that one of the major problems at Veterans Park is that sewage is
received at that location directly from the pumping station in the
Highland Beach sewer treatment plant. It was further stated (and he has
no way of knowing how accurate this is) that, by contract, the sewage is
to be pretreated prior to being received in this City and that is not
happening. He questioned if this is just rumOr, or is this true. The
City Manager stated the sewage from Highland Beach is not discharged
directly into the system but it is believed that there are sOme problems
in that area; however, they have assured the City that it is pretreated
and we are working with them to attempt to solve the problem. At Mr.
Mouw's request, the City Manager agreed to check into the contract
issue.
-21- 10/08/91
13.A.10. Dr. Alperin stated he feels he would be remiss, being a den-
tist, if he did not offer a statement regarding fluoridation. People
don't seem to realize that dentists are the persons who benefit the
least from the use of fluoride in the water and yet they are the propo-
nents of its use. He feels, for those people who can least afford to
care for themselves, this is an excellent way to healthy living.
13.A.11. Dr. Alperin expressed his pleasure that progress has been made
and plans are underway to start a course for the chairpersons of the
City Boards to instruct them in the proper method of conducting a board
meeting. He attended an Education Board meeting yesterday and was
extremely impressed with the chairperson and the number of accomplish-
ments that were made in just one and one-half hours.
13.B. There were no comments and inquiries from the City Attorney.
13.C.1. The City Manager stated, on more than one occasion, the Commis-
sion discussed the confusion surrounding the fire signal on Lake Ida
Road and Barwick Road. A study has been completed and the City is
requesting that the County remove the emergency fire signal on Lake Ida
Road as soon as possible but retain the current intersection signal. It
was requested that a yellow flashing light be installed to be used by
the fire station as an advanced warning sign, to flash only when the
switch is activated by the Fire Department.
13.C.2. The City Manager stated that, with regard to the "No Parking"
signs on North Dixie Highway, the work order has been issued to have
those installed and 52 signs will be required to complete the area. A
study has also been completed at the intersection of N.W. 8th Avenue and
2nd Street. When the report is received tomorrow, sketch plans and
estimates will be developed and those will be brought before the Commis-
sion with the proposed~cost.
13.C.3. The City Manager stated that in order to get everything accom-
plished by the 1st of January regarding Fire Station No. 5, it is
necessary that the site be a part of the City. The Blood's have ex-
pressed some concern about annexing the temporary site. There is an
alternate site that is currently in the City that is under considera-
tion.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
