21. Ordinance No. 80-88: Ordinance No. 80-88, annexing property on

(Sherwood Forest Development), is before the Commission for consider-
ation on Second and FINAL Reading.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ANNEXING TO THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH A
PARCEL OF LAND LYING AND BEING IN SECTION 13, IN PART,
AND SECTION 24, IN PART, TOWNSHIP 46 SOUTH, RANGE 42
EAST, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, WHICH LAND IS CONTIG-
UOUS TO EXISTING MUNICIPAL LIMITS OF SAID CITY; SAID LAND
IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE,
BETWEEN COUNTRY CLUB ACRES AND FOREST DRIVE; REDEFINING
THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID CITY TO INCLUDE SAID LAND; PROVID-
ING FOR THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF SAID LAND; PROVID-

DENTIAL TRANSITIONAL) DISTRICT, IN PART, AND PRD-L (LOW
TO MEDIUM DENSITY PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT)

197
(Later in the discussion it was agreed to rezone the entire
parcel to PRD-L. Therefore, the caption was reread and presented on
First Reading. The Public Hearing will be scheduled at a later date).
34. Site and Development Plan - Sherwood Forest Development: The
Commission is to consider approval of the site and development plan for
Sherwood Forest Development, located on the south side of West Atlantic
Avenue between Country Club Acres and Forest Road.
The City Manager referenced the recommendations of the P&Z
Board meeting of August 15, 1988, subject to conditions.
Michael Botos, representing the applicant, stated they are in
agreement and will accept a site plan approval subject to those condi-
tions.
Upon question by Ms. Horenburger as to whether this also
addresses the Engineering Department concerns, Mr. Botos replied they
are requesting a 40 foot right-of-way or waiver of the recommendation of
a 50 foot right-of-way. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned why the 50 foot
right-of-way cannot be accommodated. Mr. Botos replied to further
condense the curvature of the road away from the southern boundary to
accommodate setbacks for the Hamlet would mean a reconfiguration and a
loss of a number of .units.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon as to whether a variance has
been granted, the City Manager advised it has not, nor has it been
applied for. If the Commission is satisfied with all other aspects of
the development, the roadway itself will not be narrower but only the
access the City will have for sewer and other lines. Mr. Weatherspoon
stated it is his understanding that if approval from the Board of
Adjustment is needed, that should have been done prior to presenting
this item to the Commission. Mr. Kovacs stated the item to be requested
for a variance would be for the height and manner of construction of the
wall, and does not have a direct bearing on the lots or layout features
of the site plan.
Ms. Horenburger expressed concerns with regard to parking along
the pavement. Mr. Kovacs stated there are approximately 12 to 14 lots
that would not accommodate the 50 foot right-of-way without reducing the
rear yard relationship to the south property line. Mr. Botos advised
the entire 40 foot right-of-way to the southern tier of units would be
shifted ten feet to the north, making the already narrow playing area of
the golf course even narrower.
Ms. Horenburger also expressed concern with the type of devel-
opment, as she does not feel it will encourage families with school age
children.
Michael Gelfand, representing the Hamlet Residents Association,
stated they have no objection to the site plan as approved by the P&Z
Board with the understanding the top ten acres of the project hold the
same zoning as the remainder of the project. There is also no objection
to the abandonment of the right-of-way along the Hamlet side of the
property as long as there is no improvement of that area without the
approval of the Hamlet residents. They would like the entire area to be
zoned PRD-L.
Mr. Botos stated if the only obstacle to the approval of the
site plan is the annexation zoning of PRD-L, that would be acceptable;
however, he does not agree to no improvements to the abandonment of the
road.
Mr. Gelfand stated the right-of-way position the Hamlet is
taking is because at this time the City has a right to the use of the
land and no improvements may be made. It abuts the wall of the Hamlet
and their major consideration has been what occurs around the perimeter.
Mayor Campbell questioned if the applicant is willing to accept
a unified zoning of PRD-L, to what extent can the Commission move with
regard to the bulk of the property and what direction needs to be taken
with regard to the frontage. The City Attorney advised this will
-2- 8/23/88
198
require site plan modification to incorporate it into PRD-L. This will
effect a lower density with the site plan change.
21. Ordinance No. 80-88:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION. OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ANNEXING TO THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH A
PARCEL OF LAND LYING AND BEING IN SECTION 13, IN PART,
AND SECTION 24, IN PART, TOWNSHIP 46 SOUTH, RANGE 42
EAST, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, WHICH LAND IS CONTIGU-
OUS TO EXISTING MUNICIPAL LIMITS OF SAID CITY; SAID LAND
IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE,
BETWEEN COUNTRY CLUB ACRES AND FOREST DRIVE; REDEFINING
THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID CITY TO INCLUDE SAID LAND; PROVID-
ING GOR THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF SAID LAND; PROVID-
ING FOR THE ZONING T~EREOF TO PRD-L (LOW TO MEDIUM
DENSITY PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMEN?) DISTRICT;
PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVING
CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the revised ordinance.
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve Ordinance No. 80-88 on First
Reading, with the modification that the zoning that is to be attached to
the properties listed in Section 1 be PRD-L in its entirety, the condi-
tions being they would then subsequently return for modification,
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.
34. Site and Development Plan - Sherwood Forest Development:
Ms. McCarty moved for approval of the site plan approving the
waiver of the road right-of-way, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
Horenburger - No; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Ms. Horenburger stated she is voting no as she feels it is a
violation of City policy to allow this type of development.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated, to his knowledge, he feels the Citv
does not currently have a formal policy to address this item.
The City Manager stated it was proposed to construct 131 .single
family units and the plan was modified to 125.
Mayor Campbell stated he is pleased the site plan was made to
include a recreational amenity package and since the project will be
completed in phases, the applicant will probably return to the Commis-
sion at some later date. He indicated to the developer that the City
will be looking carefully at Phase 1, to ensure that the family play-
ground will indeed materialize in order to encourage family develop-
ments.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
'31. Site and Development Plan - Delray Town Center: The Commission
is to consider a request for modification of a site and development plan
to allow Albertson's at Delray Town Center, located at the corner of
Linton Boulevard and Military Trail.
The City Attorney advised this is a site plan review, but it is
before the Commission as a settlement offer of litigation involving the
City and the developer. By approving a settlement offer, the Commission
will be approving a site plan.
The City Manager stated the owner, Anthony Pugliese, is re-
questing a major modification to a previously approved site and develop-
ment plan. He gave the five standards required by the P&Z Board that
must be met prior to granting approval.
-3- 8/23/88
199
Upon request, Mr. Kovacs stated this is a technical modifica-
tion to a previously approved site plan. A year ago there was a propos-
al before the P&Z Board that contained two technical code violations and
that site plan was denied. Since the item went into litigation, the
previously approved site plan of 1986 continues. He then presented a
summary of the staff report and the five standards to be met prior to
approval of the site plan.
Doug Feurrin~, from the firm of Schmeir & Feurring Properties,
representing the owner, stated they became involved with the owner as a
neighborhood shopping center developer. The building design has been
approved by the Community Appearance Board. After presenting a detailed
summary of the project, he stated he feels they have been extremely
sensitive to the surrounding area. He stated Albertson's is prepared to
make certain concessions as follows: 1) Limited hours of operation from
6:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. for a 6 month minimum period. If at that time,
they determine they would like to try a 24 hour operation, they would
notify the City and request a trial period of~90 days. It would then be
the discretion of the City Commission whether it should continue. 2) No
Package Liquor Sales. There will be no liquor sales in this store until
such time as a demand warrants a request for them to appear before the
Commission to request a variance. 3) No truck deliveries between 10:00
P.M. and 6:00 A.M. 4) Wall washers will be used for lighting in place
of standard lights and very low lighting in the rear to eliminate light
leakage to the Duncan Center. 5) The HVAC equipment will be moved
forward to mitigate any possible sound penetration. He concluded by
stating he feels it to be a project the Delray community will be proud
of.
The following persons spoke in opposition of the Albertson
project: Hugh Clinton, George Anderson, Norman Anderson, Bob Fine,
Irving Brand, Helen Coopersmith, Norman Ross and Jeanette Slavin.
Mayor campbell stated he feels it is unfortunate this is not a
zoning issue. If this plan had been zoned SAD instead of Commercial
when the original site plan was submitted, all the arguments mentioned
tonight would have been permissible because the City has more arbitrary
power to deny in a zoning matter. He hopes a lesson has been learned
tonight that, in the future, when a request is made for SAD zoning of
vacant property, it is specifically to protect the interests of the
community. Once a zoning designation is given to a parcel, the two
criteria are that the development is reasonable within legal standards
and the uses are permitted under the zoning code. The zoning of a piece
of property is the single, most important element in the use of that
property and once that zoning designation is attached, it is difficult
to stop something that is not wanted if the property is zoned to permit
it. He expressed a desire to respond .to the public, but he feels this
is illegal and untenable. He is not in favor of a 24 hour store. He
also wants to ensure that a buffer consisting of the wall, a hedge and
an impervious tree line be incorporated in. order that none of the
commercial development can be viewed from the Duncan Center.
Ms. Brainerd questioned if the proposed modification of the
site plan is reasonable within legal standards. The City Attorney
advised if the case goes to Court, the Court will find, as a matter of
law, they are a commercially zoned property in the LC District and that
a food store is a permitted use. There is no regulation in the current
ordinance designating hours of operation except for establishments that
serve alcohol. By law, the site plan before the Commission does not
allow public surveys to be taken into consideration as to whether or not
it is appropriate; nor can a head count be taken at the Commission
meeting or any other time. There are ten criteria, and no others, that
are required to weigh a site plan by in the code. When the time comes
to prove the case in support of a denial of a site plan, people to place
on the stand are those who have analyzed the site plan from an expert
witness standpoint; those people would be the City's Planning Director
and professional staff. Those persons have written a lengthy memorandum
indicating that technical criteria has been met as set forth in the
zoning code. There are considerations in the intensity and buffering
issues that should be addressed because this is not purely a site and
development plan approval, but a settlement of a lawsuit. What the
Commission needs to do is determine in their own mind whether or not
-4- 8/23/88
!
2OO
there is sufficient basis to say the professional experts on staff are
incorrect in their analysis and the information before you is also
incorrect. In conclusion, he stated this will be a difficult case
before a Circuit Judge in this circuit when that information is avail-
able, including the staff recommendation that this meets all of the
objective criteria.
Ms. McCarty stated she feels a limitation should be established
on the hours of operation and she would like the developer to use
compacters in place of dumpsters in the rear of the shopping center.
Ms. Horenburger stated she feels, initially, the property was
more appropriately zoned residential; however, the current zoning
exists. She has a concern with the hours of operation and reiterated
the need for an impervious tree buffer between the store and the Duncan
Center.
Discussion followed with regard to signalization without
impacting the Las Verdes entrance. Upon question, Gerald Church, City
Engineer, stated at the north entrance there is a turn out and a cross-
over to turn left but there is no signal proposed at this time. Upon
question, the City Attorney advised if there is concern as to responsi-
bility of the cost of the signalization at such time as it is required,
the Commission could impose that as a condition of the settlement. The
City Manager stated it could be stipulated that the portion of those
warrants generated by the improvements of the developer would be their
percentage of the total cost of the signal.
Ms. Horenburger stated even though she voted against the
rezoning of LC, legally and in good conscience, she feels she must vote
yes.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels the developer should be
required to assume the cost of the signalization at the intersection of
the Las Verdes entrance. Mr. Feurring objected to the total cost, but
was agreeable to paying the percentage that will be generated by the
shopping center.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve a settlement of the pending
litigation involving the Delray Town Center that is now pending against
the City by having the following set forth in a settlement agreement
executed by both parties, i.e., approving the site and development plan
subject to the following four items: 1) The Planning Director's
memorandum which lists the Conditions Nos. 1 through 6, be part of the
site plan approval; it will incorporate the representations by the
developer's representative, such as the cutoff dates and times for
delivery trucks in the evenings; it will incorporate the Mayor's request
that there be an impervious tree line on the north side of the property,
along with a wall and a hedge on the north side of the wall, assuming
that it is not otherwise required by the current site plan; the develop-
er be required to pay, in its entirety, for the signalization to be
located at the Las Verdes entrance. 2) The hours of operation of all
the stores or businesses located on the site be limited to a specific
hour no ~arlier opening than 6:00 A.M. and no later closed than 10:00
P.M., seven days a week. 3) This site plan be incorporated into,
specifically, the settlement agreement. 4) The settlement agreement be
approved and adopted by the Court in the lawsuit so that no further
modifications to the site plan would be permitted without petitioning
the Court and having the Court approve such a modification, seconded by
Ms. Brainerd.
Upon question, the City Attorney confirmed that after the
Commission votes, the agreement must be put into written form and
submitted to the applicant for ratification. Otherwise, the settlement
offer as proposed in the written correspondence, is rejected, and this
is a counter offer of settlement. The City will accept a settlement of
the litigation over the property site/development plan issue on these
terms and conditions only.
Mr. Feurring stated they cannot accept this settlement as
proposed based on two points. Those two points are: 1) they will agree
only to an 11:00 P.M. 'closing, and they have agreed to waive the offer
-5- 8/23/88
201
of a request to return later on a trial basis for 24 hours; 2) they do
not feel it agreeable, fair or equitable to be responsible for the
entire cost of the signalization when warranted, but will agree to pay
an equitable pro rata share.
Mayor Campbell suggested, if the Commission concurs, allowing
an 11:00 P.M. closing with the option of adjusting that, if it becomes a
problem in the future. It was agreed that Albertson's would be granted
an opportunity to correct those problems prior to a change.
Mr. Feurring stated in the past, Palm Beach County has credited
the monies contributed toward extraordinary impact fees and traffic
signalization against impact fees where the signal has been on the
owner's property. The City Attorney stated that is not the City's
ordinance to waive.
Mr. Weatherspoon amended his motion to approve the following
two modifications: 1) The hours of operation of uses on the site will
be 6:00 A.M. until 11:00 P.M., seven days a week, with a caveat that the
City will have the right to reduce the hours of operation any time in
the future upon the City's sole determination of conditions that warrant
the earlier closing time, subject to the right of Albertson's to endeav-
or to address those concerns before final action is taken. 2) The
signalization will be paid for in its entirety when warranted by the
developer; however, without the restriction on their ability to petition
Palm Beach County for credit towards the Palm Beach County Fair Share
Road Impact Fee, that they may otherwise be required to pay by the
County's ordinance, Ms. Brainerd amended her second. 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.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 9:50 P.M. The
meeting reconvened at 9:55 P.M.

Laurie Hall, 4070 Brandon Drive, questioned the purpose of the
annexation when the City is unable to supply the current customers with
water. Mr. Weatherspoon replied the purpose is to have a contiguous
City Limit boundary from east to west. The City has been mandated to
provide services in the annexed areas. Upon objection to the water and
sewer connection fees, Mr. Weatherspoon suggested she contact the City,
who will connect her to the appropriate department.
The public hearing was closed.

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.
A representative for the property owner in question, stated the
reason the owner is opposing the annexation is that according to the
staff report, the billboard presently located on the property will be
subject to removal. The only feasible commercial use for this property,
because of its limited access, is the use of billboards due to its
proximity to 1-95. He feels forcing the removal of the billboard will
render the property useless.
Upon question, the City Attorney stated billboards are a
regulatory matter, not a matter of zoning. As the policy stands now,
the billboard must be removed by July of 1991. Mr. Weatherspoon ques-
tioned, for example, if the present use of an existing business on that
property could be continued. The City Attorney replied this would be
deemed to be a nonconforming use, which could continue forever. It
could not be expanded, or rebuilt in case of fire or if the use is
discontinued for an excess of 180 calendar days, it would be lost.
Billboard location is not considered a use.
The public hearing was closed.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS'
16.A.1. William Andrews, Planning and Zoning Board, stated he would
like the Commission to be aware of the discussion at the last Board
meeting relative to the vacant Winn Dixie store as a potential location
for the development of a parking garage. They feel it could help to
support the upgrading of the area stores, help Old School Square parking
and restaurant parking. They also feel the property is valued as low as
it ever will be.
16.B.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated with regard to the letter received from'
Mr. Miller concerning the Golf Course, he would like some sort of
recommendation for the Commission so it can be discussed.
16.B.2. Ms. Horenburger stated today at the meeting with Old School
Square, the School Board Representative informed them, as per the
agreement for acquiring the old school, that when they determine they no
longer need the old school they would have ninety days to turn the
school over to the City. A meeting will be held September 12th to
decide if a portion of the larger building is still needed for a pro-
gram. It was suggested changing the language of the agreement to
eliminate the portion designating the number of days of waiting along
with the closing of the lease agreement. If a portion of the school is
needed, they will have the option to continue for one year. If the
entire site is acquired soon, some determination needs to be made
relative to funds for maintenance. There is a meeting scheduled for
September 7th with the School Board and the City Attorney needs to work
with the School Board Attorney to resolve these questions. The City
Attorney suggested it be presented to the School Board on September 7th
and, if approved, can be placed on the Regular Agenda for September
13th.
16.B.3. Ms. McCarty stated the Old School Square also requested that
the City waive the time period for their Certificate of Appropriateness
and' would like this to be available at the Historic Preservation Board
meeting on September 1st. The City Attorney advised the Commission may
direct staff to waive the time period.
16.B.4. Ms. McCarty questioned the status of the Landlord/Tenant
Ordinance. The City Attorney advised it is completed and was inadver-
tently deleted from the agenda, but will be on the agenda for the
Regular Meeting of September 13th.
16.B.5. Ms. McCarty questioned if there are any thoughts relative to
the sign code ordinance and a suggestion that the Public Information
Officer and the Chamber of Commerce might help explain the changes and
encourage the downtown areas in upgrading some of the signs.
16.B.6. Ms. McCarty asked if the request from the Beautification Trust
for Commission recommendation on their plan for an entrance sign with
regard to design and price could be placed on an upcoming workshop. The
City Manager stated it will be on the September 13th Regular Agenda.
16.B.7. Ms. McCarty questioned if there will be any further workshops
'on the budget. Mayor Campbell stated there will be none.
16.B.8. Ms. McCarty stated by the end of August the City Manager's
contract requires that his performance be evaluated, along with his
salary and that of the City Attorney. Mayor Campbell stated Mercer/-
Slavin will probably contact her next Monday. Upon question as to
whether there is a monetary fee involved, the City Manager stated the
process is estimated to cost between $4,000 and $5,000. The proposal is
to use an additional consultant, called a Process Consultant, who comes
to organizations and negotiates conflict situations, involving inter-
views with members of the Commission, the City Manager, the City Attor-
ney and Staff to make findings wherein improvements might be made.
-12- 8/23/88
208
16.B.9. Ms. McCarty requested that two policy issues be discussed on an
upcoming workshop. One is the handling of emergencies by the City
Manager and the other is how to handle individual Commissioner's re-
quests for staff work to be done.
16.B.10. Ms. Brainerd stated she feels th~ recommendation from Frank
Spence, relative to an orientation program for Board members, is an
excellent idea and would like to suggest it be made a requirement of
service that those Board members go through an orientation program
before they are authorized to serve. She would like the first attempt
at such orientation to be available for the new members on the P&Z Board
in September. The City Attorney recommended the first orientation
include everyone, including the current members. Ms. Horenburger also
requested consensus of the Commission for an orientation program for
newly elected officials regarding the Charter, Policies and how the
Boards function.
16.B.11. Ms. Brainerd stated she would like a workshop, if the Commis-
sion concurs, regarding the large sum the City pays for liability to be
self-insured. She would like to see direction from Risk Management
Personnel regarding the liability in participation of events the City
undertakes. She would also like the Commission to be aware of the
recommendation of our Risk Management staff, the City Manager and City
Attorney before a policy decision is made on the limit of liability the
City is willing to take for events, which events to sponsor and make
donations to.
16.B.12. Mayor Campbell stated he is concerned about Marina Delray and
the report that permits have been issued. Assistant City Attorney Kurtz
stated it is his understanding the only permit that has been issued is
for the removal of a canopy.
16.B.13. Mayor Campbell questioned the status of the proposals made for
a policy consideration with regard to tapes in the City Clerk's Office.
The City Manager stated the legality will be reviewed and it should be
easy to implement.
16.B.14. Mayor Campbell stated on September 14th, the Municipal League
will be considering a vote on the 'Charter Amendments that will be put to
the voters in November. If the Commission would like to go on record
one way or the other, it will be placed on the agenda next Tuesday. The
Commission concurred.
16.C.1. The City Attorney stated he is aware of the issue concerning
certain dwelling units in a section located in the City that are showing
signs of cracked walls, being off-center or sinking. The question is
whether or not the City is obligated, legally, to be responsible for the
financial consequences of correcting those construction problems. The
state of the law, at the present time, is that there is no liability for
financial responsibility for actions by Building Department Officials
and Inspectors where it is solely negligence.
Anthony Williams, stated he is representing his relative who
lives in the Carver Square subdivision. They have a catastrophic
problem that has been ignored by the City. It is his understanding the
location was formerly a dump area. He does not understand how the
Commission, in good conscience, can refuse to assist these residents who
are financially unable to help themselves.
Henry Davis, stated he is a resident of Carver Square, and
'cannot understand why the City allowed construction on unstabilized
soil.
Mayor Campbell reiterated the statement of the City Attorney
that there is no legal liability. This does not necessarily indicate
the City does not want to help alleviate the problem.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he contacted the City Manager two weeks
ago and an investigation was immediately initiated. Upon speaking with
Ms. Butler, Director of Community Improvement, in regard to the soil
testing, she advised there were soil tests made in the area. However,
-13- 8/23/88
209
she confirmed the fact that the City does not have a policy that re-
quires a soil test always be made.
Mayor Campbell stated if the Commission feels further informa-
tion is needed and would like. to examine the possibility of being
involved in the problem, it can be placed on an upcoming workshop.
The City Manager stated it has not been determined wha~ the
subsurface soil conditions are, the extent or the nature of the problem.
If the City Attorney and the Commission concurs there is sufficient
purpose, the City could expend $2,000 or $2,500 for consulting fees for
soil tests in order to learn what exists below the ground. The City
Attorney advised, on the issue of the public expenditure, this is deemed
to be similar to the drainage and traffic studies that have been done in
the past where it is determined that the City is not responsible. Upon
question, the Chief Building Official stated the results of the soil
tests will take approximately seven to ten days and he will have a
report available by September 9th.
16.C.2. The City Attorney advised no approval has been received from
the Ft. Lauderdale office of DOT relative to the Atlantic Avenue Beauti-
fication Project.
16.D. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the City Manager.
17. Mayor Campbell requested that Item Nos. 37 and 39 be postponed
until next Tuesday, Item Nos. 40, 41 and 42 be moved from the Regular
Agenda to the Consent Agenda and Item Nos. 38 and 44 be deleted. Item
Nos. 21, 31 and 34 have been discussed and voted on. The City Manager
requested that Item No. 30 be withdrawn.
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the Agenda, as modified,
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.
18. Ms. Horenburger moved for approval of the Minutes of the
Regular Meetings of July 26, 1988 and August 9, 1988 and the Special
Meeting of August 2, 1988, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. Horenburger - Yes;

(Copy of Ordinance No. 60-88 is on file in the official Ordi-
nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Roger Saberson, stated the code provides different vesting
requirements; one would be certain, one would be discretionary and the
other would be where there were no substantial physical improvements on
the land. His comments are directed solely to the part that is the
certain vesting provision that is being changed from the old rule of 25%
of the total project improvements to requiring a certificate of occupan-
cy. I.f the City adopts that rule, he feels it discriminates against
projects that are a single building, or two to three building projects,
where substantial investments are affected, versus projects with a large
number of residential units. This allows a builder to build one unit,
obtain one certificate of occupancy, with an outlay of 1/100th of their
project cost and are automatically vested. He is requesting the 25%
rule be allowed to remain.
The City Attorney suggested the Commission consider the concept
of what to do with site plans that have no limitation but may have been
previously approved by a prior City Council. That issue is separate
from the manner by which the Commission should vest and that is what Mr.
Saberson is addressing. His recommendation is that the Planning Depart-
ment should supply an ordinance strictly for that subject. Mr. Kovacs
recommends that Ordinance No. 60-88 be adopted, with the exception that
Section 1 be modified to be the current language set forth in the code.
That would be a recommended action that Section 1, Paragraph 2 of
Section t and Subsection 4, Paragraph 2 of Section 4 of the ordinance be
changed to delete what is there and insert the current language.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to adopt Ordinance No. 60-88 on Second
and FINAL Reading, with the following exceptions: Subsection 1, Para-
graph 2 of Section 1 of the ordinance and Subsection 4, Paragraph 2 of
Section 4 of the ordinance would be deleted the way it is written and
language inserted that says the following: In the event that the
conditional use or site development plan is not developed within the
said time limitation, it shall expire unless improvements representing
25% of the total cost of all improvements to be used in developing a
conditional use or site plan have been constructed on the property,
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.

The City Manager reported that the zoning was initially pro-
posed to be GC but this was opposed by the property owner. The Planning
and Zoning Board was asked to revisit this item and at it's August 15th
meeting, recommended application of SC zoning based upon the owner's
agreement to combine the two parcels through a "Unity of Title" trans-
action. This transaction, combining the two lots, will improve the
quality of future development at this site. SC zoning will allow
automotive usage on this east of Federal tract.
The City Attorney advised Item No. 29 (Ordinance No. 109-88)

motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
-19- 8/23/88
221
John Wheeler, stated there was discussion at the P&Z Board
meeting relative to a possibility of rezoning this parcel to R-1AAA and
that is definitely not acceptable, as the R-1AA is consistent with the
surrounding area. Upon question, Mr. Kovacs advised that even though
the surrounding area is zoned ~-iAA, the property owners to the south
and east have lots that are R-1AAA in size. Mayor Campbell questioned
if it can be confirmed that every existing lot in the adjacent area is
actually on lot sizes more compatible with R-1AAA. Mr. Kovacs replied
that is true, except for the area to the north.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
29. Ordinance No. 109-88: Ordinance No. 109-88, annexing Enclave
45, located at the northeast corner of U.S. Highway No. 1 and Avenue
"A", consisting of a 1.01 acre parcel with a proposed zoning of SC and
presently the site of a portion of the Delray Beach Toyota Automobile
Dealership, is before the Commission for consideration on First Reading.
The City Attorney stated this is the Item that was taken care
of by the amendment to Ordinance No. 72-88, so the Commission can now
move to delete this item.
Ms. Horenburger moved to delete Ordinance No. 109-88 from the
Agenda, 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.
REGULAR AGENDA
32. Site Plan Approval - Hidden Lake Subdivision: The Commission
is to consider a request for site plan approval for the proposed Hidden
Lake Subdivision located on the west side of Homewood Boulevard between
Homewood Lakes Subdivision and Lago Del Ray.
Mayor Campbell stated that he would like the developer to go on
record· confirming there will be no discrimination based on age. He
questioned the fact he could find no playgrounds on the site plan. The
City Manager stated the staff recommended that the Tot Lot be provided
along with park benches, but that was not the recommendation of the P&Z
Board.
Discussion followed relative to parking, open space, amenities,
and the number of units.
Nathan Miller, the developer, stated two and three bedroom
homes, consisting of one and two stories are to be constructed. The
property is not defined for any one particular market.
Ms. McCarty stated she objects to the "cookie cutter" image of
zero lot line homes. She feels the reason Delray doesn't have families
is because there is nothing built for them.
Mayor Campbell requested they reserve two lots for Tot Lots and
designate the number of three bedroom units that will be built.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels, without appropriate planning
techniques to bring families in, it is aimed solely at the retirement
market. Mr. Miller pointed out that there will be one Tot Lot on one
end of the development and a pool and another Tot Lot on the opposite
end.
Ms. Brainerd objected to the location of the Tot Lot at such
close proximity to the fresh water retention pond.
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if the right-of-way problem had
been resolved. Mr. Kovacs responded that it has been recommended to
have a 40 foot right-of-way with a sidewalk on one side.
Upon question bY Ms. Brainerd if Tot Lot is defined as to the
type of equipment to be provided and the material to be used, Mayor
-20- 8/23/88
222
Campbell suggested the developer designate on the site plan that appro-
priate small child playground equipment will be located there.
Mr. Miller objected to the condition that 30 percent of the
project must be three bedroom units. Mayor Campbell stated the City is
concerned about~a commitment that is family-oriented. After discussion,
Mr. Miller agreed to the 30 percent commitment even though he felt it
was not a good precedent, from P&Z level process, and had he initially
known that, it is possible he would not have purchased the land.
Ms. Horenburger moved for approval of the site plan with the
designation of the two Tot Lots with the requirement that there be
placed thereon some playground equipment for small children with appro-
priate screening for access to the lakes and that a minimum of 30
percent of the units be designated as three bedroom units, and subject
to other staff recommendations, 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.
33. Sherwood Plaza Rezonin~: The Commission is to consider a
request for rezoning from SAD to GC.
Mayor Campbell stated the purpose of this item is to learn if
there is a consensus to move from SAD to GC. The City Attorney advised
the question is whether or not the City wishes to institute a rezoning.
Mayor Campbell questioned since there was an application made and turned
down, if there is a way to revisit the application without going through
the entire process again. The City Attorney stated when the Commission
moves to deny the Ordinance, it is necessary to go back to First Read-
ing. Mr. Weatherspoon stated the Commission requested to revisit the
item to see if there was a desire to reconsider looking at the rezoning,
due to the development to the north. He questioned why the process of
notification is different, depending on whether staff or the applicant
makes the request. The City Attorney advised the statutes say if the
City initiates a rezoning, there will be more notice required than if
the owner requests it. Mayor Campbell stated the rezoning was denied
originally because there was fear that there would be a pawn shop
located there. That has been precluded by the fact the Code was not
amended to allow Pawn~shops.
Ms. Horenburger requested this item be workshopped to learn the
reasons why it was zoned SAD earlier. The City Attorney stated the
applicant may pursue this since the City is not going to initiate a
rezoning. Ms. McCarty suggested the applicant research the item and
supply the Commission with changes that have occurred since the last
application. Mayor Campbell suggested it might be helpful for the
Commissioners to look at the minutes of the meeting where it was can-
celled to help refresh their memory.
35. Interlocal Agreement between the City and the CRA: The Commis-
sion is to consider an Interlocal Agreement between the City and the CRA
which establishes a Line of Credit up to $300,000 for the benefit of the
CRA in connection with the construction of a parking garage of approxi-
mately 400 spaces and related facilities.
The City Attorney stated the substance of the memo received
late this afternoon, basically, is that there is a Line of Credit Agree-
ment up to $300,000 to be used for the debt service on the parking
garage project. The only other issue for consideration is the remedies
available, if the loan is not repaid. The Commission could then elimi-
nate the future borrowings against the Line of Credit, but the loan is
essentially unsecured.
Ms. Horenburger moved for approval of the Interlocal Agreement,
seconded by Ms. Brainerd.
Leon Weeks, Vice-Chairman of the CRA, stated there is one area
in which the CRA is not in agreement relating to the repayment. In 1989
and 1990 there will be no request for funding from the City. In 1991
there is a potential need for $200,000 to cover debt service and
$100,000 in 1992. The City wants the CRA to pay the interest on the
-21- 8/23/88
223
first $200,000 when the second $100,000 is given. In effect, he feels
the CRA is not really getting $100,000 as the interest begins on the
first money when the second is received. They are suggesting the time
frame be moved down one year, so in the third year the CRA will pay
interest only of $24,000 in 1993 and amortize it five years thereafter.
Ms. McCarty moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement, subject
to adjustment in the interest payment schedule, seconded by Ms.
Brainerd.
The City Attorney stated, based on the later time frame, that
brings up a concern that needs to be addressed in the Agreement that
makes the funding subject to budget. He stated when this was discussed
originally, the draw was to happen this fiscal year, then it became the
second fiscal year. He feels that methodology could be done by earmark-
ing the funds; however, this will now bind a Commission for the 1991
Fiscal Year to budget $200,000 and he has a concern when it comes to
binding subsequent Commissions to budget items. Mayor Campbell stated
the Commission will set aside $300,000 of unencumbered surplus that will
not be used.
Ms. Horenburger made a substitute motion to approve the
Interlocal Agreement and to appropriate $300,000 of unencumbered surplus
to be spent in 1991 at $200,000 and $100,000 in 199'2 to the CRA, as per
the Agreement, along with the pay back schedule amended as suggested by
the Commission, seconded by Ms. McCarty. 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.
36. Conditional Use Permit .Request (CU 6-244): A request for a
~nditional use and site and development plan approval for the proposed
Atlantic Avenue Car Wash at the southwest corner of Atlantic Avenue and
S.W. 9th Avenue, is before the Commission for consideration. The P&Z
Board and staff recommend denial.
Beril Gentry, of Gentry Engineering, representing the owner,
who is under contract to purchase, subject to approval of the City
Commission or P&Z Board, stated since the recommendation of the P&Z
Board, the owner has requested the application be postponed and that he
be allowed to return later to address the issues as set forth by the P&Z
Board.
Ms. Horenburger moved to postpone the request for CU 6-244, for
a period of thirty days, seconded by Ms. McCarty. 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.
43. Auburn Trace Proposal - Procacci Development Company: The
Commission is to consider a revised Auburn Trace Housing proposal as
submitted by Procacci Development Corporation and Palm Beach County
Housing Partnership.
George Steele, Palm Beach County Housing Partnership, stated at
the last meeting, it was indicated they would work with Procacci Devel-
opment, Inc., to see what could be done in the redesign of Auburn Trace
for approximately 250 units. A proposal for 256 units was submitted to
staff last Monday eliminating various amenities and there were changes
necessary in terms of the financial arrangements with the City. There
was an immediate negative reaction from staff and others due to the
substantial reduction in the amenities, so they returned to the drawing
board. The three proposals before the Commission are the original
containing 368 units with a density of 9.7, the second containing 256
units with a density of 6.7 and the third proposal of 296 units includ-
ing all the amenities with a density of 7.8.
After discussion, Mayor Campbell stated there does not appear
to be a consensus of the Commission and it seems that permitting a
higher density in the number of units is necessary to corroborate the
need for the amenity package. As he understands it, Procacci is stating
they cannot provide the amenity package the City has in mind at a
-22- 8/23/88
224
density of 7 units per acre and is asking if the City is willing to
allow the increase in the density to maintain a higher amenity package.
Mayor Campbell stated the Commission has never addressed the
issue of what is appropriately deemed to be contained in the amenity
package. He is not sure 'any amenity package was required. Assistant
City Attorney Kurtz advised there was an amenity package contained in
the UDAG application and it was spelled out specifically.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels they are trading densities for
amenities and he is not prepared to make that type of decision tonight.
Mr. Steele stated he feels it was an honest effort on every-
one's part to be responsive to the narrow time frame imposed on the City
by HUD. The Partnership wanted to save the grant, not only for this
project but, also, so as not to prejudice future opportunities available
for Federal assistance.
Ken Simback, representing Procacci Development, stated he would
like to point out that the dilemma being faced is that the rents are
capped. One of their objectives is to satisfy the concerns of the
School Board in reducing the population. By reducing the population,
this reduces the number of bedrooms, but this also reduces the rent.
The problem is that.they are faced with a specific rent ceiling that can
be charged, as is mandated through the Grant Agreement. When we take
that rent ceiling, our costs of constructing this project are going to
be the same as the costs for George Steele, the City of Delray or any
other private developer. When the cost of the amenities is added, that
has to be amortized out of the cash flow. There is no way of getting
more money into the project except by adding more units. So we put back
in the cost of the pool, the pool changing room facilities and the
fences which was a part of the amenity package, and moved back into the
project the cost of constructing the Day Care facility, which is in
excess of $200,000.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels a fresh dilemma has been placed
before the Commission whether or not to revisit the 'density to recreate
an amenity package.
Ms. McCarty stated she feels the Commission might like to
examine other proposals.
Ms. Horenburger stated she feels the points made, such as the
cap on the rent and the amenities in the Grant, may not make it possible
for another developer unless a different type of project is proposed.
Philip Procacci, stated he, as the developer, is not suggesting
anything. The Commission is the one who has requested the density be
reduced, along with staff, who has requested they submit another pro-
posal. Now they are being told it is their Grant and their obligation
to revisit HUD and request changes. This is a project Procacci and the
City of Delray put together in unison and it is our Grant together to
develop the housing that HUD has approved.
Mayor Campbell stated in preparing for this meeting, the infor-
mation was not available to him in order to make a decision on densities
versus amenities. The report indicated that an alternate plan had been
prepared with a lower density, but it was met with some dissatisfaction.
He does not feel he can make a qualitative judgement on something so
briefly reviewed.
Ms. Horenburger stated she feels the Commission should make a
decision to set the terms at 7 units or less per acre.
Mayor Campbell stated the Commission concurs in their request
for the lesser units and the full amenity package. Procacci has the
opportunity to make that presentation and, if possible, he feels the
Commission is still under some obligation to agree.
