PUBLIC HEARINGS
7. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Mayor Campbell pointed out that there will
be no vote tonight because Commissioner Andrews requested that he be
able to participate in this on May 30th.
A Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan has been scheduled
to be held at this time to allow an opportunity to make any changes to
the document deemed appropriate prior to forwarding it to the State
Department of Community Affairs. Following review by the State and
other agencies, another formal public hearing must be held prior to
adoption.
Mayor Campbell stated there is a list of topics that have been
raised at the Planning and Zoning Board and suggested these be discussed
in numeric order, as follows:
1. Delray Town Center, Land Use Map Designation Change.
Bob Basehart, representing this item, spoke in favor of chang-
ing the proposed designation of the Comprehensive Plan for a portion of
the twenty-acre parcel (ten acres located between the approved Albertson
Center and the Shadywoods Development) at the intersection of the N.E.
corner of Linton Boulevard and Military Trail. The request is for the
designation to be changed from Office to Commercial to accommodate a
rezoning request for the property to the LC zoning category to expand
the center.
Carol Thompson, who prepared the original Market Analysis study
for this project in 1985, gave a short synopsis of her research and
current update.
The following persons spoke against the designation change:
Helen Coopersmith, J.P. Martel, Hugh Clinton and Norman Ross.
2. Swinton Avenue, Classification and Beautification.
Ann Fulton and Gene Fisher, Co-Presidents of the Old School
Square Historic District Property Owners, stated they also represent
Lake Ida, Del Ida, Dell Park and Pineapple Grove. They gave a short
slide presentation to show the Commission and the community why they are
requesting more than the $100,000 proposed in the Comprehensive Plan for
the classification and beautification of Swinton Avenue.
3. School Policies - Objective D of the Land Use Element.
David Kovacs, Director of P&Z, reminded the Commission they
were given a copy of a letter from the School Board commenting upon the
policies and the plans they feel are acceptable, those that would be
acceptable with modifications and some policies they have identified as
not acceptable. Direction is required from the Commission on how to
address these comments.
4. Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area, Policy C-2.4 Land Use.
Deborah Wright, representing the West Atlantic Avenue Property
Owners Association, requested that certain items and verbiage be omitted
and others added in Policy C-2.4. She also feels if the City is to be
the "Village by the Sea" as stressed in Visions 2000, large scale
development should be eliminated in the West Atlantic Avenue area.
5. Auto related uses - Policy A-2.4 Land Use Amendment.
David Schmidt, member of the P&Z Board (but not speaking on
their behalf), stated since the meeting on Monday night, Mr. Kovacs has
drafted compromise language to clear up some misunderstanding. He would
like to clarify the language in the second asterisk item in the last
sentence to read: "However, automobile dealerships south of N.E. 4th
Street and east of Federal Highway may expand onto adjacent property,
which is currently in an auto-related use and which is zoned to allow
such use. Automobile dealerships south of N.E. 4th Street and east of
Federal Highway may expand onto adjacent property which is currently in
an auto-related use and zoned to allow such use." The consensus of the
Board was that they did not want dealerships expanding onto vacant land,
except those that are presently in an auto-related use.
Robert Federspiel, representing the Delray Beach Automobile
Dealers Association, stated, in viewing the Comprehensive Plan, his
philosophy is that a Comprehensive Land Use Plan should be adopted that
does not require continuous amendment and allows the flexibility to
react to the change in circumstances that may occur. Having a restric-
tion on development on the east side of North Federal Highway for
automobile purposes would foreclose that option and put the Commission
in a position where there is a continuous reaction to try to accommodate
a good auto dealership. That would take at least one year to go through
-2- 5/23/89
a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment. He requested that the Commis-
sion consider carefully adopting a regulation attacking one use. He
feels the Commission should keep that control in their hands rather than
abdicate the ability to change quickly and react to proposals that come
before the Commission, opposed to sending it to Tallahassee and having
it go through the long process required. However, the Association would
support the compromise language that Mr. Schmidt read, if the Commission
is intent on changing and restricting to some extent. The Association
would prefer that it not be in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, but
rather at the discretion of the Commission on a case by case basis.
The following persons spoke in favor of the P&Z Board recommen-
dation: Charles Smith, Jean Beer, Paul Smith, Marian MacLeod and Robert
French.
6. Lillian Feldman re Homewood reconstruction and widening.
Lillian Feldman stated Homewood Boulevard is a collector road
in serious need of reconstruction, repaving and widening and she is
requesting that the Commission consider this carefully.
7. Pineapple Grove - support for P&Z recommendation (Patterson and
Radon).
Dottie Patterson and Norman Radon spoke in favor of the P&Z
recommendation and requested consideration from the Commission.
8. Housing Element funding - support for P&Z recommendation
"(Stokes, Chairman of Housing Task Team).
Mr. Stokes requested the consideration of the Commission in
support of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board as it
relates to a change in the funding for the Housing Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. However, he is requesting the Commission for an
amount of $650,000 that was originally recommended. If this is not
agreeable with the Commission, he is requesting a front loading be
considered, in that the full level of funding would be restored for
several years of the plan and then decrease gradually over time.
9. Sam Cracchiolo, Land Use Map designation change.
Sam Cracchiolo stated he is requesting that the property
located at the N.W. corner of Congress Avenue and Lake Ida Road be
allowed to remain zoned POC as opposed to the proposed Land Use Plan to
change that use from office to residential. He feels this is not an
appropriate location for residential as it is a major intersection.
10. Carol Stanley, Blood's Grove, Land Use Map designation.
Carol Stanley, Attorney representing the applicant, stated the
P&Z included the Blood property in the Land Use Plan as a Planned Resort
Community with amenities integral to the project. She requests the
consideration of the Commission in support of this.
11. Marina Cay, Land Use Map designation (Saberson/Kelly).
Roger Saberson stated when Ordinance No. 159-88 was adopted,
creating a large scale mixed use designation, an allocation on this
property was part commercial and part residential. It was agreed when
the new plan was prepared that the commercial allocation would increase
to two acres and the ratio for that would be .75 and the balance of the
project would be residential multi-family. They are requesting that the
Commission continue that direction.
12. Michael Conners, Yake property (17-acre parcel).
Michael Conners, representing Mrs. Yake, stated he is request-
ing the Commission to adopt the recommended changes of the Planning and
Zoning Board. To be consistent with the P&Z recommendations, he is
requesting a clarification of the open space, the recreational element
and the conservation element. He is also requesting that there be a
clarification that, in the mixed use designation, the environmentally
-3- 5/23/89
sensitive land will be identified in the development review process
based on jurisdiction of DNR, DER, the Army Corps of Engineers, etc.
13. Michael Conners, Dorson Property, Land Use Map designation.
Michael Conners, representing the owners, stated this property
is located at the corner of Lake Ida Road and Congress Avenue. When
this property was annexed, it was zoned commercial in the County. The
City divided it into a north and a south parcel and the proposed plan is
for both parcels to be zoned transitional. He is requesting that the
southern parcel located on Congress Avenue be designated General Commer-
cial. The northern parcel can remain transitional.
14. Kay Larch, area west of Barwick, east of Military Trail.
Kay Larch stated she is speaking in response to the plat
approval granted in February for the Barwick Road Subdivision which is
the first time the residents in the County living east of Military Trail
were notified about a proposed road that might be built. There is no
reflection on the Comprehensive Plan for agricultural zoning. She
advised the residents have not made a request for a road, water or sewer
and yet the City has designated these services for them through future
planning. She requested the Commission consider this very carefully, as
they really do not care for the City services, but would like to keep
the area just as it is now.
15. Margaret Ehrmann, Tropic Palms, funding for interpretative
trail at Tropic Palms scrub land.
There was no speaker for this item.
16. Roger Saberson, deletion of Land Use Policy A-1.4.
Mr. Saberson questioned how the City planned to use the SAD
Zoning District in the future under this plan. In the past, it has been
used as a floating zone that can be applied anywhere in the City with
any uses the Commission determines are appropriate. If this plan is
adopted in its present form, he feels the City will not be able to use
it as in the past. This has been very useful in the past in situations
where there is a good project that the Commission would like to approve,
but does not fit into any existing category. He also would like to
speak about Commercial rezonings. The policy indicates that, except in
redevelopment areas, no changes to the future Land Use Map and/or
rezonings to retail commercial use shall be allowed unless a market
study conclusively demonstrates a compelling need. In his opinion, a
market study will never prove that; and, he feels this is a prohibition
on retail commercial zonings and further limits the location to inter-
sections of arterial roads. He requested that the Commission give
consideration to these policies.
17. Jean Beer, Street Reconstruction priorities, other items.
Jean Beer stated there are 41 streets listed to be reconstruct-
ed in the bond issue for the two million dollars, a result of a 1985
study. A later study will be completed in June, 1989, with an addition-
al million dollars in the bond issue for reconstruction; however, she is
requesting that the two studies be melded and allow the streets with the
greatest need to have priority.
18. Art Jackel, general matters.
Art Jackel, Rainberry Bay, speaking on behalf of the United
Property Owners Taxpayers Group, stated he has two thoughts to present
to the Commission. First of all, the group feels if the money for the
projected widening and beautification of Lake Ida Road and West Atlantic
Avenue is placed in escrow, the residents living in this location will
be reassured that this will be accomplished regardless of the delay.
Secondly, since Congress Avenue between Lake Ida Road and Atlantic
Avenue has been a main corridor leading from the Atlantic Avenue exit of
1-95 to the northwest corner of the City, his neighbors were amazed that
it was not included in the Comprehensive Plan now that the area lies
within City boundaries. He feels this should be given consideration.
-4- 5/23/89
19.1. Others.
David Nathanson, speaking for the Historic PreserVation Board,
commented that at their meeting last Thursday they voted on a matter
concerning the alleys located in the Old School Square Historic Dis-
trict. They feel it is very important that the Comprehensive Plan
include the fact that the City shall not abandon these alleys. Their
request is for all the existing north/south alleys parallel to Swinton
Avenue and the Old School Square Historic District be considered in the
Comprehensive Plan, that they all be preserved for future development
and that none be abandoned.
19.2. Roger Saberson, representing Sherwood Honda, stated this pro-
perty located north of Lindell Boulevard on the west side of Federal
Highway is in an area where automobile policy is consistent with having
automobile use located there, and they are requesting that the City
designate this property for automobile use rather than placing it in a
redevelopment area.
At this time Mayor Campbell asked for consideration for a
request for a Land Use Map change on each of the items. After discus-
sion, it was the consensus of the Commission that all of the above items
be placed for consideration.
Ms. McCarty requested that the Commission relook at Page
III-G-14, Policy A-1.2, Page III-G-32 with regard to Land Use Bound-
aries, and Page III-G-39 with regard to the on-hold for six months, to
get clarification that the Commission agrees and understands.
The Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. Kovacs gave a detailed report of recommended changes that
have come up during the past week to be considered by the Commission.
Mayor Campbell stated the Comprehensive Plan discussion will be
continued by the Commission to a vote next week.
8. Ordinance No. 28-89. Ordinance No. 28-89, voluntary annexation
of the Extra Closet located on the east side of Military Trail, approxi-
mately 2,750 feet north of West Atlantic Avenue, with an initial City

PUBLIC COMMENTS
12.1. Dr. Michael Ehrmann, 885 S.E. 6th Avenue, stated he would like
to clarify some points regarding the Chiropractor/City Physician issue.
I~ his opinion, the City is in violation of State Statutes 440 and 460,
regarding Workmen's Compensation. Staff memos clarify there is no
criteria established by the City for the appointment of City physicians;
therefore, he feels Dr. Swartz's reappointment, without criteria, when
viewed in conjunction with the non-consideration of a Chiropractor
without an RFP, is blatantly discriminatory. He commented that Staff's
concern relative to an elevated liability risk resulting from misdiag-
nosis should a Chiropractor be consulted is ridiculous and discriminato-
ry. All insurance companies operating in the State of Florida must, by
law, agree to pay for Chiropractor services or they cannot do business
in the State. He feels his proposal is sound and beneficial to the City
and its employees and hopes the Commission, who originally voted unani-
mously to consider adding a Chiropractor as City Physician, remains
objective and allows this appointment.
12.2. George Rochford, 2129 S.W. 35th Avenue, stated the Plat pre-
sented to the Commission is of a development of Oakmont located east of
Blood's Grove. Four of the lots at the rear of a small City-owned Park
are for sale. He feels it would be in the interest of the City to
purchase these lots and add them to the existing park.
12.3. Gene Slattery, 1227 N.W. 4th Avenue, requested that someone
form a group to work with the Police Department in order to obtain
proper direction to assist the Policeman on the Street to upgrade
attitude and morale.
FIRST READINGS

REGULAR AGENDA
30. Schedule for Processing Enclave 50. The Commission is to
consider approval of a schedule for the early annexation of Enclave 50.
The City Manager stated this ordinance is pursuant to a sugges-
tion made last week that a schedule be developed for the implementation
of the annexation of Enclave 50. The Commission had requested comments
from the owner of the former Chamberlain property with whom a verbal
agreement was made that an annexation would occur in November. With
action tonight, annexation can be accelerated.
Roger Saberson, representing Morse Cadillac, stated that Mr.
Morse will be closing on property south of LaMat Avenue soon and pur-
chasing Mr. Chamberlain's Toyota and Mazda Dealership. The agreement
that pertains to the area south of LaMat is a written agreement pertain-
ing to annexation to occur in November. They have been told that in the
event their applications be filed by June 2, the site plan and condi-
tional use approval could occur simultaneously with the annexation
action, which is most agreeable with Mr. Morse.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the accelerated schedule for
processing Enclave 50, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Vice-Mayor McCarty - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote.
15. Amendment to UDAG Agreement - Auburn Trace. The Commission is
to consider an amended agreement between the City and UDAG.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this time
and took the Chair.
8 5/23/89
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz advised the main reason for the
trip to Atlanta to discuss the agreement with HUD officials was due to
an inquiry by the joint venture as to whether or not they could share in
a 12 percent non-cumulative return which did not affect the proceeds the
City would get. HUD felt the joint venture was a fee developer, which
means they get their money up front. They will be receiving approxi-
mately one million dollars and HUD felt they should not share in the
cash flow from the project to an extent greater than their ownership
interest, which will be five percent throughout the life of the project.
HUD officials then informed them there were a couple of paragraphs
missing from the agreement. He is requesting the Commission approve the
agreement but the document will need to be amended to state that the
excess syndication proceeds, which would be coming to the City, will be
held in escrow until such time as the project is completed. The other
item is to make it clear that of those excess syndication proceeds, 10
percent would go to the developer and 90 percent to the City. Finally,
there is a provision in the UDAG Agreement that says 50 percent of those
proceeds shall be applied to a UDAG principal repayment and 50 percent
shall be held for contingent interest. The joint venture partnership
has requested that, in the event there is negative cash flow from the
project after the sixth year, that the proceeds "shall" be applied to
the UDAG principal repayments. HUD, as well as the City, did not have a
position on it.
Upon question by Ms. McCarty, Assistant City Attorney Kurtz
advised his recommendation, from a legal standpoint, is that it is
always better to have a choice to make that decision depending on the
circumstances at that point.
Tom Henners, representing the Auburn Trace Joint Venture,
stated when the verbal agreement was reached with HUD Staff with respect
to the amended Grant Agreement, the Agreement was that half of these
excess syndication proceeds that would go to the City "may" be applied
to the debt service after the fifth year, if they were operating at a
cash flow deficit at that time. When the Grant Agreement arrived and he
observed that the word said "may", he was advised by HUD Staff that the
intent certainly was that it should have said "shall", and that they
would call the City Staff and advise them of the intent of the Agree-
ment. The City Staff has indicated that the intent was indeed to apply
these monies to the principal if the joint venture was still operating
at a cash flow deficit at that point in time.
Ms. Brainerd questioned why the Commission was not a party to
the negotiations of the agreement between HUD and the Joint Venture if
the City was to have the final say. Assistant City Attorney Kurtz
stated that the City was informed of the negotiations, but did not
participate. He advised it is beneficial to the City to keep the
wordage "may" and it is within the purview of the City to do so.
Ms. McCarty moved to deny the request to change the wordage
from "may" to "shall", seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - No. Said motion passed with a 3 to
1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had.
Mr. Weatherspoon expressed concern that a future Commission may
not be as committed to the project. The City Manager advised if the
project were not to be fiscally sound, the City would take it over.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Ms. Brainerd moved to approve the Agreement with the changes
indicated by Assistant City Attorney Kurtz relative to the escrow of
monies during the construction time period and specifically setting
forth that 10 percent of the excess syndication proceeds will go to the

voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr.

to 0 vote.
-9- 5/23/89
16. Amendment to Auburn Trace Contract. Approval of the amended
contract which reflects the change of developer and dedicates an addi-
tional 25 feet of property identified as right-of-way for the project is
before the Commission for consideration.
Ms. McCarty moved for approval, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
17. Site and Development Plan Approval - Auburn Trace. The Commis-
sion is to consider an update of the site and development plan for the
proposed Auburn Trace Housing Development.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon whether or not the site upon
which the basketball court, etc., is located will be included as part of
the Auburn Trace project, Mr. Kovacs stated the basketball court will be
demolished or removed and the area will become part of the drainage
retention area. Mr. Weatherspoon commented this recreation area is used
by a considerable number of children and feels that serious thought
should be given for some type of replacement. He also requested that
the landscaping include something to camouflage the outside of the chain
link fence as well as the inside.
Upon question by Ms. McCarty, Assistant City Attorney Kurtz
advised that the anticipated final site plan and plat approval, as well
as the review for final closing, will be on the June 13th agenda. Ms.
McCarty questioned if the fence formerly viewed at the Briscoe property
could be considered. Mr. Henners stated quotes on the cost of that
particular style of fence are being reviewed and, hopefully, can be
incorporated into at least a portion of it in addition to the chain
link.
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz stated there are provisions in
the current Code of Ordinances that the approved landscaping must be
replaced and maintained and the Code Enforcement Board is for violations
of this nature. However, if the Commission desires, some faster means
of enforcing that type of failure can be included by making a provision
of default and putting it in the mortgage and note on the property, if
Mr. Henners is in agreement.
Mayor Campbell urged staff to review any suggested changes in
order that this project meets all requirements and can be done in a
timely manner, even if it requires Special Meetings.
18. Interlocal Agreement between the City and Palm Beach County.
The Commission is to consider approval of an interlocal agreement
between the City and Palm Beach County which provides that City code
enforcement officers can enforce County Ordinances in County pockets
along Federal Highway.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the fact that only North Federal
Highway was singled out rather than all County Pockets. Assistant City
Attorney Kurtz stated Enclave 50, which will be annexed shortly, has a
time frame that would prevent the City from coming before the County
Code Enforcement Board if those procedures were ever instituted. The
only remaining pocket is the Hardrives area, which did not present any
code enforcement problems. The County Commission passed this agreement
in concept, but suggested the City do this in boundary fashion, opposed
to lot and block description the City used. The area encompassed is
bordered on the west by the City of Delray, on the East by Gulfstream
and on the north by Boynton Beach.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
-10- 5/23/89

- Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
-12- 5/23/89
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned how the conclusion was reached that
the City does not owe this money. The City Attorney stated that AT&T
miscalculated when they paid monies voluntarily, the City relied upon
that when formulating the budget as a source of revenue, and therefore,
the City is not obligated to refund it. The City Manager stated the
item is basically on the agenda for the purpose of supporting other
municipalities throughout the State, as hundreds of thousands of dollars
are involved on a fiscal impact. Mr. Weatherspoon stated his feeling is
that the City should attempt to negotiate without having to go to court.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
29. Acceptance of Settlement - Abel Garcia. The Commission is to
consider acceptance of a settlement offer from Abel Garcia and approve
the final payment in the amount of $26,139.30.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the settlement, seconded by

Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
31. Independence Day (Fourth of July) Celebration. The Commission
is to consider approval of the Fourth of July celebration fire works,
transfer of funds and approval of staff overtime.
Ms. McCarty left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of authorization of funding,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
The City Manager stated the Ohio Fireworks Company is being
recommended at $20,000 for a 20-25 minute show. Upon question relative
to total shells and sizes, Assistant City Manager Barcinski stated by
taking the total number of shells, even omitting the smaller ones, Ohio
Fireworks still has more shells in the range of three inches down, than
the other two companies. He also stated the fireworks show will be on
the beach and trolley service, at a cost of $3,000, will be provided up
Atlantic Avenue from the City parking lots.
Ms. Brainerd amended her motion to authorize the funding up to
$25,000, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Upon question by Ms. Brainerd with regard to the private
request for funding, Assistant City Manager Barcinski responded that
nine private corporations or companies were reached, with a reply of 6
"maybe's" and three definite "no's" received to date.
Ms. McCarty returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
37. Street Renaming. The Commission is to consider approval of the
renaming of Coconut Road (Row) to Kyle Lane.
Ms. Brainerd questioned the renaming, as it is her understand-
ing the City has become accustomed to selling as opposed to giving away
in order that it can be named after someone. Frank Spence, Director of
Development Services, commented it was late in getting on the list of
names the Commission had authorized. The Fire Department called it to
their attention that there are two Coconut Roads and they asked staff to
review which one should be changed. Upon evaluation of the roads, it
was learned one had 12 houses and the other only had four. The four
residents were contacted explaining the conflict and the proposal to
change their street name.
Ms. Brainerd suggested this road be made number one for the Old
School auction of 1990, rather than possibly causing two name changes.
-13- 5/23/89
Since it has existed as a duplicity of name for quite a long time, she
feels the risk in leaving it for another year would be small.
Ms. Brainerd moved to delay the renaming of Coconut Road and
make it number one for next year's Old School Square auction. The
motion failed for lack of a second.
Ms. McCarty moved to delay the naming of Coconut Road for a
period of twelve months and then relook at it, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, seconded
by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
49.A.1. Ms. Brainerd stated it came to her attention this week that
there is some confusion in the ordinance pertaining to boat and RV
screening in residential neighborhoods. The ordinance currently re-
quires that these vehicles be screened on three sides, but that the
front can or may be open. She feels that sends a confusing message and
does not follow the thoughts on appearances wanted by the Commission on
residential structures. The City Attorney reminded the Commission this
was reviewed four or five years ago and decided not to require that, due
to access and expense. Mayor Campbell suggested this be turned over to
the P&Z Board with a request that they look at it again.
49.A.2. Ms. Brainerd stated last week when the Commission clarified
their policy when appointing people to the Boards, she feels the Commis-
sion overlooked the fact that a number of P&Z appointments surface in
July. Her feeling is that when someone names an appointment to any
Board, whether it be a new appointment or the filling of an unexpired
term, that person should have a full term on that Board. Mayor Campbell
suggested this item be placed on a workshop agenda. The Commission
concurred.
49.A.3. Ms. McCarty stated a memo from Mr. Spence needs a reply rela-
tive to the ground-breaking ceremony for the City Hall addition and
renovation. The City Manager suggested this ceremony take place at 6:30
P.M. on Tuesday, May 30th, 1989. The Commission concurred.
-17- 5/23/89
49.A.4. Ms. McCarty questioned if anything has been accomplished
relative to the duplex issue with regard to substandard lots. The City
Manager stated he would look into it.
49.A.5. Ms. McCarty questioned the status of the Book Store. The City
Attorney advised a letter has been sent, phone calls have not been
returned and a copy of the appraisal is before each Commissioner. He
feels at some point soon, he is going to need direction from the Commis-
sioners.
49..6. Ms. McCarty commented at Visions 2000 it was mentioned that the
City should not be hesitant about bragging on the accomplishments that
have taken place. Since there were a number of unsafe buildings, a
couple of which were thought to be crack houses, that have been removed
or demolished, per the agenda tonight, she feels the Code Enforcement
Department might put together a program to let the public know that
those trouble spots have been eliminated. The City Manager agreed that
this is a good suggestion, but has not gotten started as yet.
49.A.7. Ms. McCarty stated when she first became a Commissioner, it was
brought to her attention that it might be a good idea for the City to go
into the tree farm business. She questioned if this could be relooked
at with a possible location of the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
49.A.8. Mr. Weatherspoon stated the City recently accepted a proposal
relative to the school position of Delray Beach, with one of the crite-
ria being that a School Board committee or counsel be appointed. He
feels this board or committee should be appointed right away in order to
monitor what is happening. Mayor Campbell suggested making this a
workshop item for discussion. The Commission concurred.
49.A.9. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that it is his understanding that the
Catherine Strong Center can be used for family reunions, picnics, etc.
He would like an update from Joe Weldon, Director or Parks and Recrea-
tion.
49.A.10. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if any feedback has been received
relative to the traffic light at the corner of Congress Avenue and
Germantown Road. The City Manager stated the County has been asked
twice to expedite the change.
49.B.1. The City Attorney questioned if there has been any news rela-
tive to the letter sent by the City Manager with regard to the taxes for
the recent annexations. Mayor Campbell suggested the City Attorney
