4.B.2. Glen Torcivia, Assistant County Attorney - Countywide Health
Care Taxing District. Mr. Torcivia stated that the health care delivery
system in Palm Beach County has been fragmented and fraught with prob-
lems over the last six years. The County Commission established a group
of citizens to look into the problems and, four years ago, they brought
back a recommendation that they abolish three currently existing hospi-
tal taxing districts. The citizens of Delray reside in the Bethesda
district. Each of these districts have the independent authority to
levy taxes of up to 10 mills. In addition to this, they all pay a
-7- 10/11/88
297
county tax and a portion of this tax goes to health care. Therefore, in
a sense, the citizens in the southern and western part of the County are
paying two taxes for delivery of health care services. The Commission-
ers proposed, and the Legislative Delegation adopted, a bill which would
create one County-wide health care district that would work to establish
a trauma network, improve coordination and cooperation between hospitals
and provide one source of funding. This issue was on the ballot in
March and was narrowly defeated. He would like the Commission to pass a
resolution in support of this issue which will appear on the ballot in
November.
Ms. Horenburger stated she feels it is incumbent on everyone in
South County to look at this very carefully and understand it.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
PROCEDURAL ITEMS
15.A.1. June Carr, 1102 Miami Boulevard, stated the Commission will
consider an ordinance tonight on first reading for Enclave 37 which is
located north of the Delray Mall. They have discussed placing a wall
there and she questioned if it would be possible for them to work this
into the annexation procedure.
15.A.2. Rosetta Rolle, Chairman of the Delray Beach Housing Authority,
advised that two weeks ago three members of the Housing Authority went
to New York to a National Housing Authority meeting. One of the things
they learned was that various housing agencies of the City should work
together. She read in the paper yesterday that a group of investors
came to Delray with $400 million they would like to invest. She feels
that the DBHA should be a part of their discussions.
15.A.3. Charles Spolita, Realtor, questioned if the matter of six acres
of land on Lake Ida Road was going to be brought up by the City Manager
tonight. The City indicated an interest for acquisition and he does
have a transaction on the table.
Mayor Campbell stated that it would be more appropriate to
discuss this at a workshop meeting. He suggested that the City Manager
or a Commissioner place in on the agenda for Tuesday night if they deem
it appropriate.
15.B.1. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the status of the drainage project
which is under way. The City Manager stated he believes it is 75%
complete. Mr. Weatherspoon stated some concerns have been raised to him
with regard to the length of time it has taken to finish up some of the
streets. The City Manager stated he will get a report to the Commis-
sion.
15.B.2. Ms. Horenburger stated she is happy to see that after almost
two years the A1A, DOT drainage project is finally under way and will
begin in the spring.
15.B.3. Ms. Horenburger advised that she spoke with the County Engi-
neers and attorneys with regard to the Swinton Avenue project and
acquiring it for the City. It looks like it is very possible; however,
they have to talk to Boynton Beach about the four blocks at the north
end. The City Manager stated he will be meeting with the City Manager
of Boynton to discuss that and other topics.
15.B.4. Ms. McCarty questioned the status of the tennis court property
at Lake Ida Park.
The City Manager advised they will hopefully have the Inter-
local Agreement between the City and the County next week and he expects
it to be on the November 8th agenda along with a proposed financing
plan.
15.B.5. Ms. McCarty stated there are some interested investors who
would like to invest quite a bit of money in the community; she would
-8- 10/11/88
298
like to know where they go from here as far as a plan of action and who
is going to be talking about possible projects.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels this is an item which needs to
be placed on a workshop agenda as they need to determine the respective
roles of the parties and who is going to be making the coordination.
The City Manager advised he will place this on next week's workshop
agenda.
15.B.6. Ms. McCarty stated that in his report the City Manager alluded
to a "tree report".
Frank Spence stated that he, the City Manager and Nancy Davila,
City Horticulturist, personally inspected the trees along Atlantic
Avenue this afternoon. They have determined that the trees which have
been installed do meet specifications. The specifications called for a
tree in the 14-16 foot range; unfortunately, it did not specify what
they call clear bark, or gray area, which is the trunk of growth area.
It has been determined that the longer tree would be more desirable, but
they are more expensive. The trees were delivered by the subcontractor
beginning September 22nd and the representative of Sasaki, on September
30th, realized that the trees were not the ones which she had tagged at
the growers in Homestead. A stop order was given at that time and there
will be no payment until they can determine the condition of the trees.
They agree that they are not acceptable even though they are in compli-
ance with the specifications. They believe that for some reason the
grower shipped the wrong trees and a personal inspection needs to be
made with a representative of Sasaki to look at the trees which were
tagged. He has been told that the trees would have a trunk height of
three to five feet which would be more acceptable. Mr. Spence stated he
met with the City Engineer and a representative of Whiteside Construc-
tion Co., the general contractor for the whole project, and he also
agreed to go to Homestead. If the trees there are truly larger than
what they have now, they would propose to relocate the 42 trees current-
ly installed to other locations in the City. If they do this and pay
for all 42 trees that have been delivered, the contractor will not
charge them the $125 per tree he would normally charge for removal.
They would then reimburse themselves from other funds for landscaping
for public projects back into the Beautification fund and proceed to buy
all 80 trees. He will report back to the Commission next Tuesday.
Upon question by Ms. Brainerd, Mr. Spence advised they were
Sasaki's specifications. She questioned if they have any liability due
to the fact that their specifications did not meet the requirements.
The City Manager stated the City approved the specifications. Mr.
Spence stated that Sasaki thought they were safe in specifying 14 to 16
foot high trees. Ms. Brainerd stated she would like to ask the City
Attorney's opinion because it seems to her that they are being asked to
either use the trees elsewhere and buy extras or pay $125 per tree to
take them out. The City Attorney stated he has some problems with that.
He feels that there is some financial responsibility by the contractor
and his subcontractor. Ms. Brainerd stated she would like to hear more
before they go ahead and agree to their requirements.
15.B.7. Ms. McCarty stated that also in the City Manager's report, .he
referred to Mercer/Slavin offering their services for the City Manager's
performance criteria establishment meeting. She questioned what the
Commission's feeling is with regard to when a meeting is to be scheduled
and who would conduct facilitation, if anyone.
Mayor Campbell stated he would enjoy Mercer/Slavin being
involved. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels they should get some advice
and expertise locally, without flying in Mr. Mercer from Atlanta. He
does not see where it is going to be a major task to come up with some
additional specifications for the City Manager. Ms. Brainerd suggested
they see how it goes without a facilitator and, if they feel after the
first meeting they need a facilitator, they can discuss who it should
~be. Mayor Campbell stated that he would solicit, at least personally
for his own sake, that if Mr. Mercer wants to help him out he would
accept that help in preparing the kind of parameters he will be looking
for.
-9- 10/11/88

Upon question by Ms. McCarty, the City Manager stated they may
want to wait until after the League meeting to see what they get out of
it before discussing the specifications.
15.B.8. Ms. Brainerd questioned if they have any existing ordinances
prohibiting truck traffic on Atlantic Avenue, east of Swinton Avenue.
She has been told that now they have redone a few blocks there are 18
wheelers trying to negotiate curbs. She stated if they do not have an
ordinance, she would like to workshop this or direct staff to draft an
ordinance which would force truck traffic to start using the by-passes.
She would also like to see them synchronize the traffic lights on the
by-passes so that it is an incentive for everyone to use them.
The City Manager advised the ordinance on trucks is ready to be
workshopped.
15.B.9. Upon question by Ms. Brainerd, the City Manager advised the
Creole video has been finished and it is being circulated.
15.B.10. Mayor Campbell stated that when they moved procedural items to
this portion of the meeting, they wanted to give the public access. He
would encourage the Commission to reconsider the format of the agenda
and put B, C and D back to the end of the agenda so that they do not
have to delay the public. He would like the Commission to consider
this, let the City Manager know and, if there is a consensus, they can
place this on an agenda as a reconsideration.
15.B.11. Mayor Campbell stated he gathers they will be placing on a
workshop agenda some discussion of the meeting which took place with
regard to the potential development. He is very proud of the fact that
Delray can illicit that kind of interest and he feels they should all
work very hard and positively with trying to get new development into
the City. He does have one criticism, however, and that is that he
learned that the meeting was a City-sponsored function. He suggested
that in the future the City Manager let all the Commissioners know that
it is a City event. If it is going to be a City-sponsored event, he
feels they are due some kind of preliminary backup as to who they are
going to meet and what it is about. Also, the City Manager might want
to check with all the Commissioners as they are getting close to a
policy consideration whether or not it is appropriate to have that kind
of gathering to entertain a prospective developer. He would like to
commend the City Manager and other people involved for getting them
together. Mayor Campbell stated he is looking forward to the workshop
coming up and requested that the City Manager get as much information
about the people and prepare a format or agenda to begin the discus-
sions.
15.C.1. The City Attorney stated that one of the issues which the
Commission will hear about at the Florida League of Cities meeting is
the subject of the State-wide AT&T refund requests. This is a topic
they will be asking the city attorneys about at the city attorneys
session Friday morning. He has previously taken the position, and he
wrote the administration a memo, that they were under no legal obliga-
tion to refund the monies AT&T are requesting. The Commission is going
to be asked to take a policy stand on the issue. He is bringing this to
the Commission's attention and if they wish him to say anything specific
about what they have in mind they can let him know.
-15.D.1. The City Manager advised that a representative from the City
Attorney's Office and the City Manager's Office went to the Palm Beach
County League meeting today. He does not have a report at this time;
however, hopefully he will have one before the Florida League meeting.
15.D.2. The City Manager advised that the Commission was furnished a
folder from Charlotte Durante drawing attention to the formation of the
Peach Umbrella Plaza Association in the 400 block of West Atlantic
Avenue. They will be holding an event on October 29th and would like to
~have the City's endorsement of that event.
Charlotte Durante stated she has a lot invested in the City in
terms of her time, energy and money and she wants to do something to
help the people. West Atlantic Avenue brings about a lot of
-10- 10/11/88
300
opportunities to do something, a lot of challenges and problems. She
has worked with some of the business people on West Atlantic Avenue and
they have decided to start with a block at a time, starting in the 400 -
500 Block. The effort has been met with a lot of enthusiasm and there
are a lot of things they want to do; however, they need the support,
help and input from the City. They are planning a grand opening on
October 29th and there are some things which will require the Commis-
sion's authorization to do so, i.e., some of the outdoor activities.
Mrs. Durante advised there will be a sidewalk sale, voters registration
booth, a reggae band, the Sheriff's Department motorcade and breath-
alyzer van and possibly a shoeshine stand and strolling musician. She
stated they have already retained a maintenance person who will pick up
trash, litter, debris and wash store front windows every morning.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mrs. Durante stated that one
block will have to be closed for about 20 to 30 minutes for the motor-
cade which will begin at 10:30 A.M. The band will be playing all day
and they do not anticipate any cost to the City. Mayor Campbell re-
quested that next time they get this to the Commission on the Friday
before the Regular Meeting so that it can be placed on the Consent
Agenda.
15.D.2. The City Manager advised the IBF&O Union did not ratify their
contract and he would like to get an understanding from the Commission
that they can go back to the table and offer them retroactive pay to
October 1, 1988, for the 2% if, in fact, they resubmit the agreement for
a vote and that vote is taken and approved prior to October 21st.
Mayor Campbell stated he would prefer they discuss this in a
closed meeting.
15.D.3. The City Manager stated the agenda indicates the address as
1040 Ocean Boulevard on Item 44, this should read 1410 Ocean Boulevard.
15.D.4. The City Manager advised he would like to add two items to the
agenda at the recommendation of the City Attorney. They are waivers of
business auto policies for two vendors, Flamingo Cabanas and Currie
Schneider. They use personal automobiles to get around and, therefore,
the Commission needs to formally waive the requirement which states that
they must have business automobile insurance coverage. The two con-
tracts are for the beach cabanas with Flamingo Cabanas and the design
contract for Fire Station #2 on the beach with Currie Schneider. He
recommended they be added as 49.C. and 49.D. These items are deemed
emergencies as the contracts start tomorrow and it was discovered today
that that provision is in the contract and the requirement cannot be
complied with as they have no business automobiles.
16. The City Manager stated there was an inquiry made regarding
Item 34 and he questioned if the Commission wishes to remove it from the
Consent Agenda. Ms. McCarty requested that they place this item on the
Regular Agenda.
Mr. Weatherspoon requested that they remove Item 44 from the
Consent Agenda and make it the last item on the Regular Agenda.
The City Attorney advised that Item 20 should state that if
adopted it would provide that the Board of Adjustment is prohibited from
granting variances on historic sites, not prohibited from granting
historic sites. He also advised, with regard to Item 18, that when they
repeal Chapter 94, the City Administration is going to institute those
regulations effective tomorrow and they will include an increase in the
cemetery fees for non-residents.
The City Attorney advised that the applicant for Item 27 has
requested that the item be removed from the agenda and postponed. Mayor
Campbell stated that he heard this item was going to be reconsidered by
the Planning and Zoning Board. The City Attorney stated they want it
eliminated from tonight's agenda; if the P&Z Board brings the subject up
in the interim then they can do so.
Mayor Campbell stated that he had requested that the Carver
Square Subdivision item not be placed on this agenda as it is more
-11- 10/11/88
301
appropriately a workshop item. However, there are several people here
tonight for this item and, therefore, they should discuss it.
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the agenda, adding as emer-
gency items 49.C. and 49.D., 20.A. and 20.B., and 49.A. and 49.B.,
deleting Item 27 and removing Items 34 and 44 from the Consent Agenda to
the Regular Agenda, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the

Ms. Horenburger questioned the status of the special classifi-
cation. The City Attorney advised he is working on them. Ms.
Horenburger questioned where this puts the people who are going to be in
the special classification if they pass this ordinance on First Reading.
The City Attorney stated they would be subject to the new rate, if they
consider this to be an ordinance in progress.
Ms. Horenburger made a substitute motion to postpone this
ordinance until such time as they have the special classification in
place, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated by the next meeting he would like to
see a breakdown of the actual costs for the connection service.
The City Attorney suggested, as an alternative to the substi-
tute motion, that they adopt the ordinance on First Reading, but the

Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if they need to have the provision
for the potential special assessment district. The City Manager advised
they do need the provision; however, the Commission is not obligated to
levy the tax. Mr. Weatherspoon stated his other concern is that if it
is deemed necessary to levy the tax then the boundaries should not carry
the whole burden to finance it and they should be expanded. The City
Manager stated expanding the boundaries would discourage the intent of
the Act.
Ms. Butler stated the Act enables them to set up specific
districts which have high crime problems and the intent is that they
might design plans which would help mitigate those kinds of conditions.
They could come back and set up several other districts as the years go
by for additional planning grants; however, they have to have an area
which is workable and they can control.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Ms. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 125-88
on First Reading, seconded by Ms. Brainerd.
Ms. Brainerd stated that as noted in the City Manager's report
this property does include a nonconforming use and she would like to
defer to the City Attorney for the proper amendment to the motion so
that they approve the nonconforming use, but have a vehicle to amortize
it.
The City Attorney advised it is his understanding that there is
an issue which needed to be set by City Commission policy about the
-16- 10/11/88
306
inclusion of consideration of uses; specifically, with regard to hours
of operation. They desire to include the hours of operation as part of
what they consider to be the use of the property. If that is the case,
then it would be his recommendation to adopt the ordinance on first
reading subject to the establishment of a policy that the hours of
operation of uses on this site and for future enclaves, this being an
enclave as annexed pursuant to the authority of the Delray Beach Enclave
Act, are to be considered as a part of the use of that property for
zoning purpose. Also, that should those hours of operation not comply
with the current City ordinances as they now exist, that the uses must
comply with those current City ordinances on or before 20 years from the
date of the enactment of the Delray Beach Enclave Act.
Ms. Horenburger made a substitute motion to adopt Ordinance No.
125-88 on First Reading, and include the City Attorney's comments,
seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, the following discussion was had:
Mayor Campbell stated what they are trying to do is live up to
the promise which was bound on them by the legislature with regard to
such uses to not inflict immediate hardship. He questioned what would
happen if the County were to change its law; would any kind of excep-
tional use be exempt, or would the City have the right to readdress the
issue. What would happen if the County were to change its rules to be
in compliance with the City; have they then created a unique situation?
The City Attorney advised, yes, they have created a unique situation and
imposed upon the property a requirement that they only comply With the
City's ordinances. Mayor Campbell questioned if they could put a caveat
in there which would protect them in the event there is any adjustment
in the County regulations.
Mayor Campbell clarified that all they want to say is that
should the County change its regulations to comply with the City, then
there is no longer, necessarily, a lengthened amortization period.
Michael Connors, representing Mrs. Dorson who owns the vacant
property in this enclave, stated this property has been zoned commercial
for more than 30 years. Essentially, the owners agree with the annexa-
tion; however, they disagree with the proposed zoning of ART and ACT.
It does not seem like good planning to have a multi-family development
sandwiched between commercial on all three sides.
The City Manager stated that the Enclave Act calls for the
property Mr. Connors is concerned about to be ACT and ART. The owners
are asking for General Commercial or Limited Commercial. Rather than
readvertise the enclave, staff and the P&Z Board have agreed that the
argument he is making is persuasive and they have agreed, pending the
Commission's agreement, that the City would initiate a rezoning request
from ACT and ART to GC or LC, with the City absorbing the filing fees.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, David Kovacs, Director of
Planning, advised that they are not deviating from the Land Use Plan
under this suggestion.
Mr. Connors stated they are simply requesting that the City
initiate a rezoning process, subsequent to annexation, to put a perma-
nent district on this property.
Mayor Campbell clarified that the initiated rezoning may not be
as they are requesting, it will still be in conformity with the Land Use
Plan. One part will be residential and the other commercial.
Upon question by Ms. Horenburger, the City Attorney stated all
they are agreeing to is that they will direct staff to review applying a
non-transitional zoning category to the affected properties as expedi-
tiously as possible; however, there are no guarantees as to which
properties or what permanent category will be applicable.
-17- 10/11/88
307
The City Attorney clarified, with regard to Ms. Horenburger's
motion, that what the Commission is doing regarding the amoritization
issue is not an exemption, it is permitting a nonconformity to continue
with an amortization period. They are discussing only hours of opera-
tion as an inclusion in the use; their decision on the amoritization
will not affect the terms, conditions and requirements of the Enclave
Act as to other regulations in the Act affecting uses and their discon-
tinuation.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
24. Ordinance No. 126-88. Ordinance No. 126-88, annexing Enclave

REGULAR AGENDA
26. Report on Carver Square Subdivision Test Borings. The City
Manager stated when the study was entered into they agreed that the City
had no liability. The report has been completed and indicates that
there are some subsurface stabilization problems. The City does not
warrant properties when building permits are issued and the individual
homeowners will have to take their arguments to the person or persons
from whom they bought the home. It is his recommendation that they take
no further action at this time.
Ms. Horenburger stated she feels they should adopt some regula-
tions regarding stabilization of soil before building anything. While
she understands very clearly that they do not have a legal responsibili-
ty, she feels they have a moral responsibility to do something with
regard to the problems.
The City Attorney stated as to providing the homeowners fund-
ing, he would have a serious concern on two fronts: first, if they have
no legal obligation to do so, there is a question in his mind whether or
not that is an appropriate expenditure of public tax funds; second, if
they were to give them what amounted to a loan he is not sure they could
do that either. He has no problem in the City administration assisting
them in endeavoring to find financing to do so.
Ms. Horenburger suggested that the Community Development
Department perhaps help organize the effort.
Mayor Campbell stated there is money available under the CBDG
program for repairs. He questioned how much is anticipated to put the
footings in. The City Manager advised it could run anywhere from $2,000
to $15,000 per home, depending on the severity of the problem. The
initial effort in expending the money for the study was designed to be
responsive to a suggestion that the City serve as a catalyst around
which the community can organize some help.
Lula Butler stated they could possibly accommodate eligible
families under housing rehabilitation; however, they would have to be
income eligible which means they would not be able to assist all the
owners.
Upon question by Ms. McCarty, Ms. Butler stated they are really
not staffed well enough to help with 15 homes and it would be a diffi-
cult thing for them to handle at this time. Ms. McCarty stated she is
concerned with a precedent being set. While she sympathizes a lot with
their predicament, she feels that if someone has a problem with their
home they should be directing the problem to the person who built the
home. She does not feel the City is an appropriate place for them to be
bringing their problems.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he would encourage the Commission to
work with staff to see what they can do.
Ms. Horenburger stated she does not think they can totally
absolve themselves from any responsibility in this matter as far as
being of some help before their houses collapse.
Ms. Brainerd stated she would be in favor of helping with some
type of organized drive on a community outreach basis. However, she
would be against spending City funds.
Mayor Campbell stated that he argued last week that a govern-
ment sometimes has to be compassionate, even though they have no legal
responsibility. They spend a great deal of money every year on charita-
ble events, donations and special events and the precedence is there to
spend money for people. If these people have a legitimate hardship, he
sees nothing wrong with the government trying to help out. He would
like to explore what they can do to help; some of it is going to be
non-monetary, but perhaps some of it can be monetary.
-19- 10/11/88
3O9
The City Manager advised that he and the City Attorney dis-
cussed this earlier and it was suggested that they may be able to find a
way within the special assessment provision to assist.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels the majority of the Commission
is saying that staff should go back, work something out and come back to
them with a recommendation.
28. Conditional use Request (CU 6-252). The Commission is to
consider a request for a conditional use and attendant site plan for an
Exxon Station at Linton Boulevard and S.W. 4th Avenue. The Planning and
Zoning Board recommend approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the proposed modification which provides a minimum
of 100 feet of clear stacking distance along the south
accessway be made and processed under the procedures for
a "non-impacting site plan modification".
2. That screening gates be provided for the dumpsters.
3. That a final plat for the entire holdings must be ap-
proved, with financial guarantees in place, prior to
issuance of any building permit.
The City Manager stated that the Commission reviewed this two
weeks ago and suggested that the developer explore other options for the
roof profile.
Kieran Kilda¥, representing Dan Burns, stated in light of the
comments of the Commission they have redesigned the building which has a
barrel-tile roof topping. This is on all four sides of the building and
will be tapered towards the front. He presented an overlay of the
landscape plan to give the Commission an idea of how it will look.
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the conditional use request
(CU 6-252) and attendant site plan for the Exxon Station, with the
conditions, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
Ms. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
29. Continuing General En~ineerin~ Services - Civil Engineer
Evaluation and Certification. The Commission is to consider engaging a
civil engineering firm on a continuing basis for three years.
The City Manager advised this is an item which comes to the
Commission following a considerable amount of staff work to develop a
continuing general engineering services agreement. This will provide
the City a considerable amount of flexibility in expediting projects by
allowing them to seek proposals from the successful consultant without
having to go to competitive bid for those projects under $100,000. The
top eight firms have been ranked, but the bottom eight were not inter-
viewed.
Mayor Campbell stated he has a real problem with this in that
they specifically said they did not want to rank the firms. The intent
was that they would get a list from the City Manager of people who were
qualified and it was the consensus of the Commission that they would
short list and have a "dog and pony show". He stated that they need to
determine which ones they want to short list and then interview.
Ms. Brainerd suggested that they see presentations from the
qualified applicants (1 through 8).
Ms. Brainerd moved that they seek presentations and get backup
criteria from those firms 1 through 8.
Upon question by Ms. Brainerd, Mayor Campbell stated they do
not normally have presentations by eight firms; usually the presenta-
tions run 10 to 15 minutes per firm. He suggested that the Commission
look at the reports with regard to their strengths and weaknesses.
-20- 10/11/88
310
Ms. Brainerd withdrew her motion.
Ms. Brainerd requested that they receive backup material on
those firms that staff found qualified, after that they can shortlist.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell as to when he can receive
backup material on the eight firms, the City Manager advised they will
have a synopsis within a week.
Ms. McCarty stated she would also like a copy of the minutes
where they discussed this and what the direction was.
30. Dock Variance - Robert G. Lukens. The Commission is to consid-
er a request for a variance to allow construction of a dock 15 feet into
the Intracoastal from the existing seawall at 708 S.E. 3rd Street.
Approval is recommended.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved approval of the dock variance for Robert
G. Lukens, 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.
Ms. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
31. Community Redevelopment Agency's Parkin9 Garage. The Commis-
sion is to consider an expression of their position regarding the CRA
parking garage.
Mayor Campbell stated he presumes this is a continuation from
last week with regard to an expression of the City Commission on loca-
tion.
The City Manager stated that initially it was; however, after
talking with the CRA, they have determined that it is premature for the
Commission to express a preference on location but rather state overall
their strong support for the CRA's efforts.
Ms. Brainerd advised she asked for this to be on the agenda and
what she had in mind is, if there is a consensus, that they would give
staff direction to aid the CRA in whatever manner is necessary, i.e.,
give them access to the legal staff and the City Manager's staff so that
they can facilitate and expedite the building of the garage.
Upon question by Ms. McCarty, Ms. Brainerd stated what she
foresees is for staff to work with the CRA, come up with some recommen-
dations and, if out of those recommendations it looks like it should be
workshopped for the Commission, then she would like to do that.
Upon question by Ms. Horenburger, Ms. Brainerd stated that it
would allow the CRA to leverage the City's staff and not have to seek
payment of their own funds for legal and planning staff.
Upon question by Ms. Horenburger, the City Attorney advised
that there will be conflicts in the future; however, they would deal
with them on a case by case basis. Ms. Horenburger suggested that they
do this and make a formal request to the CRA to see if, in fact, they
are anxious to have this help.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he understands what they are trying to
do; however, he feels they need to be a little more specific. He
suggested that they have a workshop so that the CRA can outline exactly
what assistance is needed and then the Commission can decide to what
extent they are going avail themselves.
Mayor Campbell clarified that Ms. Brainerd's intention is that
the City staff, City Engineer and the City Manager should use their
discretion and avail themselves and their staff to the CRA for any
assistance necessary to help them get moving. If it becomes burdensome
to either the City Attorney or City Manager, by the size or nature of
the project, they can either say no or they can come back to the Commis-
sion.

32. Appointments - Code Enforcement Board. The Commission is to
consider the appointment of one Regular Member to a term ending January
14, 1989 and two Alternate Members to terms ending January 14, 1989 and
January 14, 1990.
Ms. McCarty moved to appoint David Bodker, who is an architect
in the alternate position, to fill the architect position as a regular
member, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.

in the general contractor position, seconded by Ms. Horenburger. Upon

Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to appoint Frank Rozzo as an alternate
member in the subcontractor position, seconded by Ms. Horenburger. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
34. Stadium Renovation - Miller Park. The Commission is to consid-
er approval of an agreement between the City and The Baseball School,
Inc., for the renovation of the stadium field and transfer of funds.
Harold Putnam, representing the Town and Country Condo Associa-
tion, stated they feel this item is directly related to Item 14, Ordi-
nance No. 120-88. He feels that the existing contract's legality is
questionable under the present zoning.
Mayor Campbell advised this is not a zoning matter, this item
deals with the stadium renovation.
Mr. Putnam stated they are requesting that this item be de-
ferred to the November 8th meeting until they can get more information
from the P&Z Board meeting which will be held on October 17th.
The Commission clarified that this item deals with the renova-
tion of an existing field in the northwest portion of the field. The
rezoning item (Item 14) deals with the creation of a new field to the
south.
Ms. McCarty moved to approve the agreement between the City and
The Baseball School, Inc., for the renovation of the stadium field and
transfer of funds, seconded by Ms. Horenburger. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes;
Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, the City Attorney advised the Commission will
be approving Amendment No.1 to the Lease.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
44. Final Plat - 1410 Ocean Boulevard. The Commission is to
consider a request for final plat approval for 1410 Ocean Boulevard,
formerly known as the Cullum annexation.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated it is his understanding there is a
concern with regard to the possibility of a duplex being built on one of
the front lots.
Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, stated the two single
family lots are intended to be on A-1-A and the duplex on Brooks Lane.
Brooks Lane is a single family street and the neighbors object very
strongly to this. She feels that the Commission should stay with the
original concept the developer presented to the neighborhood which was
that there would be a multi-family complex.
-22- 10/11/88
312
Mrs. Alexander Cortner, 1005 Brooks Lane, stating she is also
representing some of her neighbors who strongly object to having a
duplex on their street. She presented a letter of objection from one of
her neighbors.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mr. Kovacs advised the way the
lots are laid out there would be one house on Lot 2, one house on Lot 3
and a duplex on Lot 1. ·
Discussion was had with regard to the possible reconfiguration
of the plat.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell if they were to take the duplex
off Lot 1, would he accept a plat of 1, 2 and 3 Lots, the owner of the
property stated he would not. He would withdraw this plat and submit
one which would allow him to build five units. He advised that the
neighbors who object do not have any understanding of what he plans to
build. He presented photographs of a similar duplex.
Ms. Brainerd moved to deny the final plat, seconded by Ms.
Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Ms. Horenburger stated she does not believe it is appropriate
to have a duplex on a single family street as it is not in line with the
residential ownership which is prevailing in that area.
MaYor Campbell stated the general consensus of the Commission
is not to allow a duplex.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
