AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING AN AREA BOUNDED ON THE WEST
BY N.W. AND S.W. lST AVENUES, ON THE SOUTH BY S.E. AND
S.W. 2ND STREETS, ON THE EAST BY N.E. lST AVENUE, S.E.
1ST AVENUE AND THE ALLEYS IN BLOCKS 74, 75 AND 76, TOWN
OF LINTON PLAT, AND BY N.E. AND N.W. 4TH STREET ON THE

MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1983; PROVIDING AN EFFEC-
TIVE DATE.
(Copy of Ordinance No. 1-88 is on file in the official Ordi-
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. The public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1-88
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - ~es.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he has some concern with the boundaries
of this district as they are incorporating a much larger area than the
Old School Square. He questioned why there is a need to extend the
boundaries to this degree.
Clemmer Mayhew, Chairman of the Historic Preservation Board,
stated the reason for going four blocks north of Atlantic Avenue to
Cason Memorial Methodist Church was that that was the original border of
Delray. They go south to St. Paul's Episcopal on S.W. 2nd Street and
1st Avenues east and west. This creates a walking area around the new
cultural arts center and does not isolate it in the middle of the City.
This border includes over 100 buildings which have the possibility of
being architecturally significant.
A gentleman from the audience stated he would like to speak on
this ordinance. Mayor Campbell stated he will reopen the public hear-
ing; however, he would like to remind everyone that this is out of the
ordinary.
Richard Kamhi, 211 N.E. 1st Street, stated he would like to
know what the Historic District will mean to the development in the area
with regard to zoning, alterations and additions to homes.
Mayor Campbell stated it will have some affect on zoning as far
as the procedure and uses are concerned; however, he would suggest that
if he has any serious concerns he should contact Mr. Mayhew.
Upon question by Mrs. McCarty as to what procedure someone
would have to go through if they wanted to renovate their home, Mr.
Mayhew stated the Historic Preservation Board essentially replaces the
Board of Adjustment and Community Appearance Board. Therefore, they
would recommend that a homeowner first approach the Historic Preserva-
tion Board, which acts as an advocate for homeowners within historic
districts, to facilitate the alterations and changes. The homeowner
would fill in an application stating what they they would like to do to
their property and the Historic Preservation Board has guidelines to
give them.
Richard Robb, 50 Palm Square, stated he has some reservations
about this proposal as he feels it will absolve a property owner of
handling his property in an equitable way.
Fred Love, 315 N.E. 18th Street, stated he and members of his
family have several pieces of property involved in this area and they
strongly support the concept of this district and the goals they are
trying to obtain.
-2- 2/9/88
384
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Dougherty stated that there are approximately 200 pieces of
property in this area and he questioned how many buildings really
qualify as historic buildings. Mr. Mayhew stated there are 101 contrib-
uting buildings which are approximately 50 years or older and could have
historical and architectural significance. They have done extensive
surveys on the 101 properties and have Florida Historic Preservation
surveys on all the properties.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
7. Land Use Plan Amendment 1988-1. The Commission is requested to
conduct a Public Hearing and take action on the proposed Land Use Plan
Amendment 1988-1. The amendment consists of three items. Prior to
consideration a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this
time. The items are as follows:
a. Plan change from RM and SF to RH for 38 acre tract (UDAG
project).
b. Incorporation of the Community Redevelopment Plan with
the City's Comprehensive Plan. ,
c. Change from I to C for .32 acre parcel north of the Exxon
Station, located at West Atlantic and Congress.
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 Campbell clarified that if they pass on these three items
tonight they would be submitted to the DCA in Tallahassee. They would
then come back to the City for ordinances and at that time they would
come under actual consideration for the change.
a. Mr. Dougherty stated, with regard to Item 7.a., that there is
not much point in sending it to Tallahassee for approval if it comes
back to the Commission and they decide they do not like the density. He
feels they should resolve that issue before giving authorization to send
it to the DCA.
The City Manager advised that the staff recommendation is to
establish the density at RM which guarantees seven units per acre.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, Ken Simback, Director of the
CRA, stated there is no problem in designating the property RM; the
developer agreed to the RM which would give him up to 10 units per acre.
This does include the park area as the City's zoning code calculates
density based on gross acreage.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the staff recommendation of
RM for Item 7.a., seconded by Mr. WeathersPoon. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; .Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
b. David Kovacs, Planning Director, stated the Community Redevel-
opment Plan has already been adopted by the Commission; however, the
City's Comprehensive Plan was not amended to include the document. Mr.
Simback and the Planning & Zoning Board feel there is better direction
in this document and they would be better off to adopt it as an amend-
ment to the Comprehensive Plan so that they can work with it rather than
the nebulous 1979 Plan they have now. Therefore, they are recommending
taking this Plan as is, with three changes to the Land Use map.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the staff recommendation for
Item 7.b., seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.

I--~em 7.c., seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission

to 0 vote.

than make the investment at that time, as the well was not needed, they
elected not to spend the $25,000.
Robert Pontek, Director of Public Utilities, stated that wells
10, 14 and 17 are planned to be taken out of service in the summer when
the golf course wells come on line.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that there appears to be some chlorine
in the wells and he questioned if they are going to test for it before
they spend any money. The City Manager stated they would.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty as to how close well 917 is to
the source of the present contamination, Mr. Pontek advised it is
approximately 15 or 16 blocks away. Mr. Dougherty questioned if it
would be possible to accelerate the completion of the golf course well
field. The City Manager stated they have discussed this with the City's
consultants, CH2M Hill, who advised them against doing that because of

request that the ground work be started now on bringing the fee struc-
ture for City resident beach parking in line with the City of Boca
Raton. She feels beach access in Palm Beach County should be equal in

28.4. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, stated that the City is
prohibited by the conditions of the contracts for beach restoration with
the State from charging people outside the City anything different from
people inside. However, in Boca Raton they took the current value of
their beach property and worked it out to state that it would cost $6
every time they went to the beach. Those numbers were accepted by the
Federal Government and State. She personally finds it outrageous but
admires them for getting away with it.
29. Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meeting of January 26, 1988 and the Emergency Special Meeting of
January 25, 1988, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
30.a.1. Mrs. McCarty stated that the Parks & Recreation Department is
heading up the fireworks for July 4th and she is sitting on the Commit-
tee trying to do this. She questioned if the Commission had any problem
with her using City stationery and her name in trying to get donations
for this effort.
The City Manager suggested that they solicit sponsorships
instead of donations.
It was the consensus of the Commission that they had no problem
with this.
30.a.2. Mrs. McCarty stated they received a letter from the City
Attorney relative to his meeting with representatives from DOT and the
County concerning the North Federal Highway traffic problem. She read
the letter as stating that nothing is happening.
The City Attorney stated that at the meeting there were two
subject matters of discussion and in both cases that which was proposed
was unacceptable. The representatives for Mr. Henn are to submit
additional proposals to both the County and City; however, he has yet to
receive them.
Mrs. McCarty stated that the meeting was in December and she
feels it may be time for the City Attorney to ask what is happening.
30.a.3. Mrs. Horenburger stated she would like to request that they
look at the site for the fire station in the beach area. She feels they
need to revisit this, look at the existing fire station and the area
around it.
30.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated she attended a conference over a week
ago called "1,000 Friends of Florida". Numerous people banded together

consider joining this group.
