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.
Sam Schwimer stated that last week the Commission held a
workshop meeting regarding this ordinance. When people called a few
days before to find out if there was going to be a meeting they were
told there wasn't; therefore, there was practically no attendance. He
-2- 4/12/88

feels they should postpone any consideration of this ordinance until the
public has an opportunity to learn more about it. He is proposing that
the Commission submit this question to a referendum so that the people
can express their desires on how height should be controlled.
Helen Coopersmith, Executive Director of PROD, stated they went
over this ordinance piece by piece and their feeling is that in view of
the redevelopment the City is going through, after reviewing Mr.
Currie's site plan and other factors they are in favor of the ordinance.
Samuel Coleman, Pines of Delray, stated he concurs with Mr.
Schwimer's proposal. They have not heard too much about this and the
people in his development would like to know more information before a
decision is made.
Arthur Jackel, Chairman of the United Property Owners, stated
that as a keen observer of the people's wishes he has come to .the
conclusion that the Commission should pass this ordinance. He relies on
the good judgment of the Commission in its exercise of this ordinance so
that there is not a harsh impact on the surrounding areas which will be
affected.
Maurice Klinqer, Pines of Delray, stated he is against this
ordinance as he feels, like many people living here, that they came here
to a retirement community, not a business community.
The public hearing was closed.
Mayor Campbell stated that there were some changes made pursu-
ant to the workshop meeting last week. He questioned if those would
have to be made as amendments to the ordinance before them. The City
Manager advised they have been incorporated into the ordinance before
the Commission tonight.
Ms. McCarty moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 4-88 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Ms. Horenburger. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger -
Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mayor Campbell stated that he approves the concept of the
overlay ordinance and is in favor of it. However, he feels that the
Federal Highway area down to Boca, additional properties along Congress
Avenue, particularly south of Atlantic Avenue to Linton Boulevard,
should also be deleted from the geographic limitation. He would urge
that the Commission, if they are so inclined, approve additional recom-
mendations for limitation of the areas.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6. Ordinance No. 10-88. Ordinance No. 10-88, annexing the former
Germantown right-of-way and establishing an SC (Specialized Commercial)
Zoning designation to property owned by William L. Wallace, is before
the Commission for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. Prior to
consideration of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading,
a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 10-88:

DISCUSSION ITEMS
7. Presentation by CSX Railroad Reqarding Speed Limit Increase
(Edwin Radson, DOT). Ed Radson stated the reason he is here tonight is
to strictly inform the Commission as to what they are contemplating.
Presently, within a two mile stretch from the north City limit to about
half a mile south of the Lake Ida intersection, there exists a speed
limit of 70 miles per hour maximum speed for passenger trains; freight
trains through the area have a maximum speed of 60 miles per hour. They
are contemplating increasing the speed through that two mile area to 79
miles per hour. The reasoning is to have a uniform speed for the Am{rak
line and also the Tri-County Commuter Train which will start up towards
the end of this year. The increase would not affect the freight train
traffic; it will remain at 60 miles per hour.
Mr. Radson stated he is not looking for any recommendations
tonight, he just wants open discussion. Normal procedures for DOT is
that the district DOT, based in Ft. Lauderdale, makes its recommendation
for or against the increase. Then the Tallahassee office further
approves or disapproves and they make a ruling for or against. They
then advertise their findings and, if anyone desires, they can have a
full public hearing.
Ms. McCarty stated that the tracks at Lake Ida Road are in
horrendous condition and she questioned at what point do they intend to
get those repaired. Mr. Radson stated that that particular crossing
will probably be repaired within a two to three month period.
Gerald Filippi, High Point, questioned what the additional nine
miles per hour will do to the road bed and will it cause a lot of wear
and tear.
Mr. Radson stated that the entire track bed where the Tri-
County Commuter will operate, from West Palm Beaoh to Hialeah, has been
reworked and will be rebuilt.
Leonard Syrop, High Point, questioned if the speed is being
increased by nine miles per hour at Lake Ida Road, at what speed will
the train be going through town.
Mr. Radson advised that presently the passenger trains go
through at 79 miles per hour and the freight trains at 60 miles per
hour; this will not change with the new increase at Lake Ida Road.
Ms. McCarty stated she would like to talk to the Railroad
Company about the billboards along the tracks. The Railroad Company
would like something from the City and she would like to talk to them
first about the billboards.
Mr. Radson stated the Railroad Company is not looking for
something from the City, they are looking from the DOT. However, he
will put her in contact with someone to discuss the billboards.
8. Ms. Brainerd moved to approve the agenda, seconded by Ms.
McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd -
Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

on First Reading, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms.
McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0
vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mayor Campbell stated that they are going to be sending a
special notice to all property owners within 500 feet of all of the
affected properties.
The City Manager advised the decisions they have before them
affect a number of factors on the beach side, including beach side
parking. The land transaction originally contemplated, without regard
to fire station location, involved a significant increase in available
beach parking north of Atlantic Avenue and north of it's present loca-
tion. The City has recognized the deficit in beach parking along the
north beach area. Another complication is the corporate position of the
Holiday Inn Camino Real. They are amenable to working with the City to
accommodate our needs; but at the same time, are desirous of implement-
ing their expansion program. If we were to request and/or condemn a
significant amount of property at the north end of the Andrews tract,
the Holiday Inn would have to rethink their expansion program and other
beneficial changes they contemplate.
The City Manager stated a third consideration is the locational
analysis conducted by the Fire Department staff. They have reviewed the
locations, the present needs of the Fire Department, and the future
needs of the City and have recommended a facility which requires a
footprint of a size that makes the Venetian and Miramar site more
appealing. The City staff position is evolving, and will be based on
(1) a balance to be developed following the P&Z Board Public Hearing
which was held last night, (2) the need to maintain, and make avail-
able, beach side parking for non-beach side residents of the City and
others who utilize our renourished beach; this was accomplished with
significant funding outside the City and others who utilized the beach,
(3) the professional recommendation of the Fire staff who are respon-
sible for anticipating the needs of the City now and into the future,
(4) the bond covenants which provide the funding for acquisition of the
-7- 4/12/88
470
Miramar-Venetian site and (5) neighborhood access, noise and other
environmental impacts.
The City Manager stated in order to expedite consideration of
this decision, and to assure that the land transaction between the City
and Ocean Properties is consummated in a timely manner, he proposes that
each of the ordinances prepared be adopted on first reading so that
formal public comment can be heard at the April 26th meeting.
David Kovacs, Planning Director, stated the Commission will be
receiving quite a bit of background material on the six ordinances.
Tonight, however, he will just identify each of the ordinances. At this
time Mr. Kovacs presented a zelar and explained each different configu-
ration and which ordinance it relates to.
Mayor Campbell stated there was another issue which they passed
tonight relating to the rezoning of Lot B to Limited Commercial. He
questioned what the P&Z Board discussed about this. Mr. Kovacs stated
the P&Z Board recommended that the Commission continue with the process,
but then hold the zoning action in abeyance until such time as the land
exchanges are completed. The Commission has previously given direction
to execute agreements to exchange Lot A and Lot C.
The City Manager stated there was discussion of the SAD desig-
nation; however, it was determined that the application of an SAD would
extend the process considerably into the future and it was believed that
the result that might be gained from an SAD could be obtained through
deed restrictions and stipulations.
Mr. Kovacs stated another problem with proceeding with an SAD
at this time is that a site plan has to accompany an SAD and they have
not yet had direction from the Commission as to what uses are to go on
the property.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
12. Conditional Use Permit Request (CU 6-23i). The Commission is
to consider a request for a conditional use permit and approval of a
site plan for establishment of a child care center at N.W. 2nd Street
and N.W. 6th Avenue. Approval is recommended, subject to the following
stipulations:
A. If the property was not a lot of record prior to 1973, platting will
be required.
B. Increase the width of an existing south driveway onto N.W. 2nd
Street to 13 feet.
C. Add a note to the spec plan indicating an existing carport will be
used as a drop-off and pickup area.
D. Change general note 92 on the site plan to read "all irrigation will
be with water other than City water per Section 9-378(B) of the
Landscape Code".
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the conditional use and site
plan, subject to the stipulations, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said mOtion
passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
13. Conditional ~se Permit Request (CU 6-232). The Commission is
to consider a request for a conditional use permit and approval of a
site plan for the Dr. Kerry Lane A.C.L.F. located at the northwest
corner of N.E. 7th Street and N.E. 8th Avenue. Approval is recommended,
subject to the following stipulations:
A. Applicant to replat the property and dedicate five additional
right-of-way feet for N.E. 8th Avenue for a total of 25 feet from

E. Add a note to the site plan and remodeling plans requiring the
removal of stoves from existing units.
F. The fence line along the north border of this site must be replaced
or must be (i.e. painted, repaired) and hedging provided inside the
fence line around the patio/shuffleboard area.
G. Proposed hedges along N.W. 8th Avenue and N.E. 7th Street are
required to be placed along the interior perimeter of the required

H. A note must be added to the site plan of intent to Chapter 4A-40,

14. Clinton-Morgan Subdivision Final Plat and A~peal of a Fire
Hydrant Requirement. The Commission is to consider the Clinton-Morgan
Subdivision Final Plat and an appeal of a fire hydrant requirement.
The City Manager reported that Rubin Clinton, represented by
Daniel Morgan, proposes a subdivision of a .81 acre R-lA lot for devel-
opment of four single family homes. The P&Z Board gave preliminary plat
approval at its February 22nd meeting, subject to several stipulations,
one of which was that the subdivider install a fire hydrant at a loca-
tion acceptable to the Fire Chief. The stipulation is on appeal to the
City Commission as final plat approval is considered. He has reviewed
this requirement along with staff, and the location of the subdivision
which is located between 2nd and 3rd Streets on 5th Avenue. Based on
his analysis, and further discussion with the Fire Chief, he believes
the appeal should be granted and that the requirement for installation
of a fire hydrant should be waived. There are presently fire hydrants
located at 3rd Street and 5th Avenue and at 2nd Street and 5th Avenue, a
distance of approximately 650 feet. The Fire Department prefers hy-
drants to be located approximately 250 feet apart. The effect of
requiring an additional fire hydrant would be to place three fire
hydrants within a 650 foot stretch which may provide for greater water
delivery than would be required for this residential area.
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the Clinton-Morgan Subdivision
Final Plat, with a waiver of the fire hydrant requirement, seconded by
Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote.
Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time.
15. Site Plan Approval - Linton Office Center. The Commission is
to consider a site plan approval request for Linton Office Center,
DelPalm Joint Venture, located at the southwest corner of 1-95 and
Linton Boulevard. Approval is recommended, subject to the following
stipulations:
A. A replat of Parcel 1, Linton Center, is required to address the
items discussed in the Planning & Zoning Board's staff report
(11-16-87) which was prepared for consideration of the site plan.
B. Site plan approval shall not become valid until such time as a
preliminary subdivision plat approval is granted by the Planning &
Zoning Board for the replatting of Parcel 1, Linton Center; and
conversely, this tentative approval shall be valid for a period of
one year in which the preliminary plat must be submitted and ap-
proved.
C. Once this site plan becomes valid, it shall remain valid for a
period of eighteen months per Section 30-22-E.

Center, subject to the stipulations, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
Horenburger - Yes; Deputy Vice-Mayor McCarty - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 3 to 0 vote.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
16. Petition by Anthony Williams for Sale of Property at N.W. 9th
Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue. The Commission is to consider a
petition by Anthony Williams for sale of property at N.W. 9th Avenue and
West Atlantic Avenue.
The City Manager reported that Mr. Williams has requested an
opportunity to present an item to the Commission. He would like to
offer for sale all or part of his property at N.W. 9th Avenue and West
Atlantic Avenue. This item was initiated by the Engineering Department
which, when reviewing building plans for construction of a small store,
suggested that the City may be interested in acquiring a portion of the
subject property to align N.W. 9th Avenue. Upon discussing that possi-
bility, it was determined that N.W. 9th Avenue would not benefit greatly
from this realignment and that, in fact, it may have potential for
vacation and abandonment should an appropriate development proposal
arise in the future. With this in mind, he broached the possibility of
sale of the property with Mr. Williams and discussed it with the Execu-
tive Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency. The Commission, at
their March 8th meeting, authorized staff to negotiate for acquisition
of the property. Mr. Williams now seeks Commission review of staff's
decision not to make an offer to purchase the property.
Anthony Williams stated the need for this property was brought
to his attention several months ago. He feels that the initial concept
brought to him by the Engineering Department, concerning itself with the
safety of the public by realigning N.W. 9th Avenue, should be taken
under strong consideration. He is willing to sit down and negotiate the
sale of the property where it would not knock a dent in the City's
pocket.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Manager stated this
was presented to the Community Redevelopment Agency and they decided
that acquisition for future development was not in their best interest.
Upon question, the City Attorney stated that they successfully
litigated the existence of N.W. 9th Avenue approximately two years ago,
given that it was an established right-of-way for the City. The City is
not obligated to pay for that road in its location.
The City Manager advised that when this was discussed in March
there was some feeling that the Commission had directed staff to get a
formal appraisal. This was not accomplished; however, he did go back
and talk to the CRA and they looked at the Georgia Town Tavern ap-
praisals. They determined the value of the property to be about $1.00
to $3.00 per square foot which would make a fair market value of some-
where between $37,000 and $46,000. They decided it would not be in the
best interest of the City to expend the money at this time for this
property.
Upon question by Ms. Horenburger, the City Manager stated they
could buy the three lots from Mr. Williams and straighten the road.
However, if they did buy the three lots it would be his recommendation
that they not do anything to the road, but rather abandon the property.
-10- 4/12/88

Gerald Church, City Engineer, presented a zelar showing the
location of the road and the lots in question. He stated if they were
to purchase Lots 10, 11 and 12 they would not have a complete right-of-
way acquisition; they would ultimately have to buy Lots 2, 3, 6 and 7.
Ms. Brainerd stated that since the lots are vacant perhaps they
should consider a cul-de-sac.
Ms. Horenburger stated they do not know what the feeling of the
community is about this particular stretch of roadway and she feels
perhaps they should ask them if they feel that it would be a help to
have a cul-de-sac or if they are strongly in favor of keeping it open.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not feel that the disposition of
the Commission is to make any acquisition. They will further study the
issue as to whether or not the road will be finally abandoned in both
aspects.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
27.1. Herb Tano, vendor at the Flea Market, stated his financial
existence is being threatened by what is going on. Mr. Henn, owner of
the Flea Market, is giving up a good portion of his earnings by turning
vendor spaces into parking spaces and feels that the Commission should
also create some parking. The population wants to know who wants to
close their market, and they are going to want to know prior to next
year's election.
27.2. Yale Dworkin stated he has been a vendor at the swap shop for
six years. He stated there are one or two parking lots nearby which
have never been given permission to have parking and they have been
trying to get them to operate and stay open. However, some of the
governmental officials are trying to close the lots as they have never
been given the right to function as such. He feels they must have more
cooperation from the Commission and be mandated by the people if they
want to close the market.
27.3. George Cannon stated if Delray is so concerned about the
parking which is in the County, even though they have jurisdiction over
the street, they should put up parking meters and create a parking
situation so that there will be revenue to Delray.
27.4. Preston Henn, owner of Delray Swap Shop, stated there have been
some positive developments following a meeting between the City, County
Commission and the North Federal Highway Task Force. He is hopefully
going to meet with Mayor Campbell on Friday at 1:30 P.M. and he feels
they can make some progress.
28. Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of March 23, 1988 and the Special Meetings of March 15, 1988 and
March 31, 1988, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty
- Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
29.a.1. Ms. Horenburger stated she made a comment at a Commission
meeting about the City looking at the County's traffic performance
standards. She clarified that the municipalities are going to be asked
to adopt these standards and if they do not adopt the same standards the
County may look to placing this on a referendum. She feels Delray
should consider taking the lead, looking into this and being pro-active
with regard to some concerns they may have in the downtown areas.
The City Manager stated he will be attending a meeting of the
Palm Beach County Managers' Association and he will raise this issue to
see what other cities are doing.
29.a.2. Ms. McCarty stated Commissioner Weatherspoon's fathers funeral
is scheduled for Saturday which is the date of their retreat. She
-13- 4/12/88

questioned if they still want to go ahead with this as they will not all
be there.
Following discussion, Mayor Campbell suggested that the City
Manager ask the consultant if they could make it all day, starting early
on Sunday and terminating Sunday evening.
29.a.3. Ms. McCarty stated that Charles Hart has submitted his resigna-
tion from the Planning and Zoning Board; therefore, they will need to
advertise for a new member.
29.a.4. Ms. McCarty stated she has been asked to question the status of
the Homewood drainage and widening which was approved one year ago.
The City Manager stated they have it in their long range plans;
however, what was approved and what was funded are two different things.
Mayor Campbell stated this was a priority item and was never intended to
be delayed. He suggested that the City Manager get with Mr. Church and
get back to the Commission immediately.
29.a.5. Ms. McCarty questioned if they provide water to Gulfstream and
if so, are they under the same restrictions as Delray. The City Manager
advised that, contractually, they are. He is looking to find what their
consumption is on a daily basis and, if it is anywhere significant, they
may ask them to interconnect with Boynton.
Ms. Horenburger stated there was a report about having to put
the fourth filter on line and she thought they had already approved
putting the four filters in. The City Manager advised they did approve
the four filters, however, they found they were producing 4.3 million
gallons a day with three filters.
29.b.1. The City Attorney stated, with regard to the water contamina-
tion problem, that the City has retained Environmental lawyers who are
working with them on a daily basis. They fully intend to go forth with
the Commission's authorization and institute the appropriate litigation.
29.b.2. The City Attorney advised that the School Board has approved
the Old School Square land agreement; therefore, the agreement for the
sale of the Elementary School is completed.
29.c.1. The City Manager advised he was informed today by the Principal
of Carver Middle School that the City has won an award for its Community
Education Program. They were nominated by Carver Middle School at their
Community Education Conference and will be given the award on April 29th
in Pensacola. Lee Young from Carver will be there to accept the award
on behalf of the City.
29.c.2. The City Manager stated the Palm Beach County Day will be held
on April 27th in Tallahassee and he questioned if it is something they
should consider attending. Mayor Campbell stated they could discuss
this at the retreat on Sunday.
The City Attorney stated that if any Commissioner intends to go
to Tallahassee they should give him a call as there are two bills of
special interest which are going on. One is the resurrection of the
attorney/client privilege exception to the Sunshine Laws and the other
deals with the existence of the City's Mini PERC.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 9:20 P.M.
